Two hundred soldiers from the Brave Guard Battalion, wearing double armor, rushed out waving their weapons.

The Shun army, which was slaughtering people in the city, was about to charge towards the artillery position when they saw two hundred soldiers in distinctive armor rushing towards them.

There was no verbal exchange between the two sides, not even any curses, they just fought each other, brandishing their weapons.

A Shun army soldier held a long sword in both hands and slashed at the Ming army soldier in front of him on the head.

Instead of dodging, the Ming army quickened its pace and rushed towards the Shun army.

The Shun army soldiers were knocked to the ground by the Ming army before they could even react, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

The two men wrestled with each other.

Another Shun army soldier took a longbow and kept drawing arrows from it. Suddenly, arrows rained down like rain.

What surprised him was that these Ming soldiers neither dodged nor evaded, but instead shielded their faces with their left hands and stabbed with their right hands.

Those arrows hit the Ming army soldiers as if they were hitting cotton, unable to cause any harm.

Just as he was stunned, a long knife chopped his neck, ending his life.

The more than one hundred Shun troops who rushed in were quickly wiped out by the Yongwei Camp.

Before they had time to catch their breath, another wave of Shun troops rushed up the slope.

boom!

Under the command of Wang Chengen, the No. 4 artillery fired in time, pinning more than a hundred people to death on the slope.

The shouting and screaming outside the city is getting louder and louder!

Li Zicheng's elite troops arrived.

These people were originally border guards of the Ming army. Since the imperial court spent most of the money in Liaodong, they suffered from severe shortage of wages.

Having money does not necessarily mean being loyal, but having no money is definitely not being loyal.

So when Li Zicheng arrived, they surrendered one after another and turned their guns against the Ming Dynasty.

As Li Zicheng's elite troops, all of them wore armor, most of them were cotton armor, and a few were dark armor.

With the protection of armor and shields in hand, the damage caused by the artillery fire of the defenders on the city was greatly reduced.

Lieutenant General Li reached out and picked up a bucket of kerosene and poured it directly on the gap in the city wall.

Then he threw the burning quilt down.

Flames rose, thick smoke and screams suddenly sounded.

The Shun army behind saw the fire spreading and began to put out the fire with the soil they had dug out.

With the joint efforts of thousands of people, the flames were quickly extinguished by the earth, and the elite troops of the Shun army attacked again.

"Fuck it, you two, replace the cannon with larger solid bullets!" Lieutenant General Li was completely enraged.

These Shun troops attacking the city were like locusts. No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't kill them all.

It would have been fine if they couldn't kill them all, but they actually tried to climb up the city wall along the mound of earth.

How can you take care of yourself!

The two artillery units quickly finished reloading, and under the command of Lieutenant General Li, the rear of the gun barrel was raised, and the muzzle was pointed diagonally downward at the gap in the city wall.

Boom!

After two cannon shots, the solid bullets cleared two long passages on the earth slope filled with people.

Wherever the shells passed, limbs flew and blood splattered.

The solid projectile had a huge impact force, destroying all the people, armor, shields, and weapons it encountered. The projectile's residual force did not decrease until it hit the moat and disappeared.

In order to cause a larger killing area, the Ming army used large solid bullets when fighting against the Shun army's artillery, and mostly used hundred-bullet chain bullets at other times.

The effect of these two solid bullets being fired at close range was so shocking that it not only shocked the Ming army, but also the Shun army.

They first looked at Lieutenant General Li in horror, and then panicked when they saw the artillerymen behind him pushed out two more cannons.

One by one they turned around and ran backwards as if they were risking their lives.

Snap!

Dozens of Shun troops who were trying to escape were hacked to death by the warlord before they could even cross the moat. They held their weapons and shouted, "If you can capture Beijing, you will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a thousand taels! If you try to escape, you will be killed without mercy!"

In the face of death, Shunjun could not care about much else even if he was afraid.

If you rush forward, you may survive, but if you run backward, you will definitely die!

They picked up their weapons and rushed to the top of the city again.

At this time, reinforcements from other city gates had arrived. With the addition of reinforcements, the battle on the city wall became much easier.

But no one relaxed because the battle continued.

Under the night.

The fighting outside Xizhimen, Fuchengmen, Xibianmen and Guang'anmen became increasingly fierce.

The spear pierced the enemy's flesh and blood, blood scattered in the air, and the broken flesh fell and turned dark black along with the armor.

At the forefront of the shouts and cries, countless people were screaming and countless people died.

Behind the shouts and cries of killing, the generals of both sides frowned and issued one order after another that took the lives of countless people.

The soldiers attacking the city had long lost their excitement. Now they had expressions of fear on their faces, and they felt their faith was collapsing.

This city is not only strong in front of the city, but the people's hearts are even stronger!

Because they found that the people defending the city gave people a feeling of being on the verge of death, but these people would rather die than retreat.

Some people knew they would not survive, so they jumped off the city wall and hugged the soldiers attacking the city.

Others used their own flesh and blood to cover the gunners.

The soldiers of Shun Army had not fought such a tough battle for a long time. The last time they fought a tough battle was at Ningwu Pass, and most of the soldiers who fought in that battle died.

The Shun army soldiers behind stopped charging and turned to look in the direction of Li Zicheng's central military tent.

They don't want to charge forward and make fearless sacrifices.

"Charge! Charge!" A general swung his sword and killed a Shun soldier who had stopped.

"Fuck it, why didn't you charge? My brother charged twice and survived, but I didn't expect to die in your hands! Cao!" A soldier next to him swung his sword and hacked the governor to death, then cried loudly while hugging his dead brother.

"Charge! Break into Beijing City, be promoted three levels and get a reward of one thousand taels!" another governor shouted.

But no one listened to him anymore.

Although some people continued to charge, their pace was much slower. More people stood there, at a loss as to what to do.

The surrendered Ming troops felt regret in their hearts. They knew that Li Zicheng regarded human life as worthless, but they did not expect that he would ignore their lives so much.

They followed Li Zicheng just to make a living, but didn't want to give their lives to him.

Seeing this, some surrendered Ming army generals immediately organized their troops and ran towards the darkness.
