Just when Zhou Linyuan led the army and launched an attack on Turtle Mountain. Gou Xingwang, who finally waited for the signal, immediately shouted: "Brothers, capture Hanyang City." Kill all the Manchu Tartars, kill! ”

Taking advantage of the Qing army defending the Ximen Bridge, attracted by the battle on the side of Guishan, Gou Xingwang led people to rush across the Ximen Bridge smoothly. The defenders on the first embankment were not many, only about two hundred. I was originally attracted by the battle on the side of Turtle Mountain, but I didn't expect my side to be attacked by a sneak attack, and I didn't react for a while. Before the Qing army could organize a defense, it was rushed up by the Restoration Army.

The Qing army defending here had only one hundred households. Seeing that the Qing soldiers under his command were either stunned or running away, he suddenly shouted: "What are you doing standing? Defend quickly, form a formation. As a result, as soon as the words fell, he was cut down to the ground by the soldiers of the Restoration Army who rushed over.

The Restoration Army, which rushed up the embankment, did not stop at all, and rushed directly along the embankment towards the second line of defense. The second line of defense is near the Yongan Bridge, and the two lines of defense are built with the help of flood control levees. Fortunately, there was no flood at this time, otherwise the two lines of defense would have been completely submerged by floods.

In that case, even if Gou Xingwang has great ability, he will not want to attack the second line of defense. But now that there was no flood, the Restoration Army went directly to the second line of defense.

Gou Xingwang only left 500 people at the Ximen Bridge to block the Qing army that came from the embankment to reinforce them, and then led the others to rush to the second line of defense with desperation.

At this time, the Qing army on the second line of defense also found that the Ming army was coming. Suddenly, there were generals who kept shouting, commanding the Qing army to arrange defense. There are also people who are using a winch to hang the suspension bridge of Yongan Bridge. The Restoration Army that ran over also knew that if they were blocked here, let alone attack Hanyang City, it was unknown whether they could leave alive.

Seeing that the Qing army was hoisting the suspension bridge, someone suddenly threw the weapon in his hand and rushed up directly empty-handed, hanging the bridge deck to prevent the Qing army from lifting the bridge. The Qing army general over there roared angrily: "Release the arrows, quickly release the arrows and shoot those traitors." Suddenly, countless arrows flew out from the Qing army's position.

The soldiers of the Restoration Army who hung the bridge deck directly became a live target because they were holding the suspension bridge with both hands. But even if someone was hit by several arrows, they all grabbed the drawbridge. With these people, they desperately pulled the drawbridge, so the drawbridge was never pulled up.

Soldiers from the Restoration Army rushed over from behind, and everyone immediately cut the cable on the bridge with their knives. The suspension bridge fell on the bridge base with a bang, and the Fuming Army, which was still hanging on the bridge board just now, was suddenly shaken and fell into the river. Several people were no longer heard and shadowed.

Seeing that the drawbridge was lowered again, Gou Xingwang shouted: "Rush in and avenge your brothers." Kill these dogs. The Restoration Army roared angrily and rushed towards the second embankment. Gou Xingwang pulled over a pro-soldier beside him and said, "Come and see how the battle situation in Phoenix Mountain is?" If they have already captured Phoenix Mountain, let them open fire immediately, and our side will soon reach Hanyang City. ”

After Gou Xingwang finished explaining, he also rushed towards the crowd of Qing soldiers with a knife. The Qing troops on the second embankment were obviously much more than the first, and they were also somewhat prepared. The Restoration Army couldn't disperse the Qing army for a while, and it was about to be blocked, if it was entangled here for a long time, then the Hanyang City behind it would become more and more difficult to fight.

After Gou Xingwang rushed up, he yelled: "Quick, don't entangle, rush over directly, and then attack Hanyang City." Gou Xingwang also carried a knife, roared in the crowd, and slashed and killed five or six Qing soldiers in a row.

Gou Xingwang was rushing up, and suddenly the front was empty, and it turned out that Gou Xingwang had already rushed through the defense line of the Qing army. Gou Xingwang looked back and saw that there were about 500 Qing troops on the embankment. With the rush of the Restoration Army, the Qing army has fallen no less than 100 people. The remaining Qing army, which was preparing to recover the Ming army, was divided and could no longer form a formation.

I saw a lot of soldiers of the Restoration Army, who also rushed through the line of the Qing army, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and rush to Hanyang City." After speaking, he directly took the lead and rushed to Hanyang City.

Standing in the second line of defense, you can already clearly see the west gate of Hanyang Castle. At this time, under the Fengshan Gate, many people wanted to enter and exit, and when they saw that the Ming army was attacking here, all the people immediately retreated to the city.

And the Qing soldiers guarding the city gate were dispersing the people in a panic and wanted to close the city gate. Seeing this, there is no need for Gou Xingwang to remind him that all the soldiers of the Restoration Army desperately want to rush over to stop the Qing army from closing the city gate.

Many soldiers of the Restoration Army roared angrily: "Hurry, grab the city gate." At this time, a lot of Qing soldiers also appeared on the city wall, as well as the people in the city. A person in an official uniform came out again, thinking that it was the county order of Hanyang County.

That person is really the magistrate of Hanyang County, and there was originally a prefect in Hanyang. But the current governor Zhang Changgeng, in order to facilitate the command of grain, also controls the Yangtze River waterway and the navy. Directly let Wang Mingde, the prefect of Hanyang, go to Wuchang on an errand. So there is only one county magistrate in Hanyang.

When the county order went to the city wall, the Ming army had broken through the two lines of defense, and the Ming army had rushed under the city wall. Suddenly shocked, he said: "Quick, close the city gate, shoot arrows, and shoot those remnants of the former Ming Dynasty." ”

Then he yelled at the soldier who was operating the winch next to him: "What are you rubbing? Pull up the suspension bridge. The soldier said aggrievedly: "My lord, many of us don't pull, the rope of the suspension bridge has been cut by the Ming army." ”

The county commander turned his head to look, and sure enough, the rope of the suspension bridge had been broken. And the Ming army under the city is desperately running towards the city gate, apparently trying to seize the city gate. Suddenly, the county commander's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but then he heard the sound of the city gate closing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the soldiers of the Restoration Army were already desperately running towards the city gate, they still didn't have time. A soldier of the Restoration Army who ran in front saw that the Ming Dynasty was about to close. Immediately, he aimed the big knife in his hand at the city gate and threw it. The knife took advantage of the crack in the door that had not yet been closed, and flew directly into the city gate, and the Qing army inside screamed.

But the gate was also closed, and Gou Xingwang sighed, knowing that without siege weapons now, he could not attack Hanyang at all. The soldiers of the Restoration Army who arrived, everyone secretly said that it was a pity, and they were almost able to break through Hanyang.

At this time, the Qing army in the city saw that the city gate was closed, and immediately cheered. Some people pointed to the river and shouted, it turned out that the sailors of Wuchang had come from the Yangtze River.

When Gou Xingwang heard that the Wuchang sailor was coming, his face suddenly changed greatly. The Restoration Army is now all outside the city, this is not a live target for the naval artillery? The Qing army's naval division did not have the slightest scruples in fighting, and the current position of the Restoration Army was only bombarded.

Gou Xingwang had an idea and said, "That's right, bombardment." Quick, go to the embankment and find gunpowder. Everyone was puzzled, but Gou Xingwang's order still had to be heard. After a while, someone came with a barrel of gunpowder. Gou Xingwang said: "Quick, the Qing army has just closed the city gate, there must be no blockage inside, let's just blow up the city gate with gunpowder." ”

Immediately, the officers and men of the Restoration Army were happy, at least this was a method, and a feasible method. So the Fuming army began to rush to the city gate again, and the county commander on the city saw that the Fuming army was still coming to rush, and there were no siege weapons, so he suddenly smiled: "These Ming troops are also dizzy, and they dare to attack the city without siege weapons." It's really whimsical, do they want to use the knife in their hands to cut the gate open? ”

The Qing soldiers around him also laughed and laughed at the Ming army's stupid moves. The county commander roared: "No matter what the Ming army wants to do, all the archers will shoot me hard, and I will see how many of them will come to attack the city." ”

Suddenly, arrows rained down on the city, and many soldiers of the Restoration Army fell from arrows. The Restoration Army under the city, all the archers also shot at the city. At this time, the sailors on the Yangtze River also began to open artillery, and the shells whistled and fell near the Restoration Army, although the Restoration Army was also considered to be strictly disciplined. But when the shells came whizzing, it was inevitable to panic.

The Qing army in the city laughed happily when they saw the embarrassment of the Ming restoration army under the city. Gou Xingwang didn't care about this, just led people to rush to the city gate. After paying the price of more than 20 people, Gou Xingwang finally took his soldiers and put the powder keg at the city gate.

Gou Xingwang hurriedly asked people to bring the lead, and then took a long one, and everyone hurriedly began to pull the lead back. When the Qing army in the city saw it, they thought that the Restoration Army rushed into the city gate, but they couldn't open the city gate, so they had to retreat. For a while, the Qing army in the city, except for the archers, everyone else laughed.

Gou Xingwang and the others, who had just come out of the city gate cave, were immediately covered by bows and arrows on the city gate. Many soldiers of the Restoration Army were in the middle, and Gou Xingwang was also shot with an arrow, and suddenly his body was crooked, and he was about to roll into the moat under the city.

The moat under the city walls is not usually flooded. Now coupled with the suddenness of the attack by Gou Xingwang and others, the Qing army did not have time to rush in, so it was dry inside. But the bottom of the river was full of sharpened bamboo, and if he fell, he would surely die.

Fortunately, Gou Xingwang was quick and grabbed the suspension bridge on the moat, and Gou Xingwang was hanging under the bridge. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Fuming Army next to them ran over to pull up Gou Xingwang.

At this time, the artillery of the water division above the Yangtze River came, and a shell fell near the city gate. Those soldiers of the Restoration Army were suddenly overturned by the wind and waves brought by the shells, and two soldiers fell directly into the moat. Gou Xingwang watched the two soldiers fall, knowing that they would definitely not survive.

But Gou Xingwang didn't have time to worry about this, he was also stirred by the qi wave just now, and his hands suddenly left the bridge deck. I only heard Gou Xingwang roaring, and then he also fell. Gou Xingwang was not killed by the bamboo, he was carried by the air waves to the dirt slopes on both sides of the moat, and then slid down.

Although Gou Xingwang was not dead, his legs were also cut by bamboo tubes, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed. There was also a bamboo tube, which almost stabbed directly into Gou Xingwang's lower body.

At this moment, the gunpowder at the gate of the city suddenly exploded. It turned out that the Qing army's sailors had just fired a flowering bomb. In the first few shells, the Qing army used solid bullets, on the one hand, in order to check the distance, and also to block the attack of the Ming army.

As soon as the angle was adjusted, the second round directly launched this flowering bomb, and the effect was really great, and the Fuming army under the city was blown up and scattered.

But the flowering bomb also detonated the powder keg placed at the city gate, and suddenly there was a violent explosion at the entrance of the city. After the smoke cleared, the Restoration Army under the city suddenly found that the city gate, which had just been closed, was gone.

But the people of the Restoration Army did not rejoice, because their lord would fall into the moat and most likely die. If the main general dies in battle, this will be a big blow to the morale of the army. Suddenly, dozens of soldiers of the Restoration Army shouted by the moat on the runway: "General, General Gou, how are you?" ”

Gou Xingwang moved his body with difficulty, and his legs were numb from pain now, and he didn't listen to the call at all. Fortunately, it was the calf that was cut, and if it was an artery on the leg, it is estimated that Gou Xingwang would die directly now. Now Gou Xingwang is strangling the wound with his hand, so that he will not die before he can be treated because of excessive blood loss. onclick="hui"
