Hong Chengchou looked at the wall of fire burning under the city, and his face showed a hint of mockery.

No matter how suspicious he was, by this time, he didn't mind what intentions Wu Zheng had behind him.

Because when it comes to this, the trick has come to an end, and it's too late to change the trick.

And today, the Ming army is pouring out, as long as the main force of the Ming army is wiped out in this battle, then even if Wu Zheng has any conspiracy, it can be ignored.

The mocking expression on Hong Chengchou's face didn't last long, even just for a moment.

Then came consternation.

Because the distance was too close, he could clearly see those Ming soldiers, pushing the cart with a resolute expression and rushing into the wall of fire without hesitation.

Hong Chengchou was shocked, when was the morale of the Ming army so high?

He himself is the person who led the Ming army, an army, there are not many people who don't want to die, there are one or two people out of a hundred, this is a strong army, on the battlefield, the demonstration effect of the example is endless.

With one or two people to lead the whole battalion, it is enough to decide the victory or defeat of a battle.

Hong Chengchou lost his mind for a while, and sighed in his heart, it's a pity...... It's a pity that such a group of tigers.

It is one thing to appreciate and regret, and it is another thing to command the killing, Hong Chengchou once again ordered to concentrate arrows to kill the Ming soldiers around the cart.

At this time, the Ming soldiers behind the board car have been ignited, and the body instinct is no longer controlled by subjective consciousness.

Under the concentrated fire of the Qing soldiers, the Ming soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

So far, more than 100 board trucks have almost been wiped out, and only three have rushed through the wall of fire.

Hong Chengchou's face changed greatly, he was not afraid that these three board cars would blow up the city gate.

Even if the city gate is blown up, he can still command the defenders in the city to fight in the streets with the Ming army.

The strength of the army is far superior to that of the Ming army, and there is nothing to fear.

The reason for the change in his face was that the hundreds of board cars of the Ming army had been ignited by the wall of fire, but the problem was that none of them exploded.

It doesn't make sense.

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, Hong Chengchou is a little anxious.

He found that his opponent was completely out of the ordinary, so what was the opponent's intention?

He finally came out of the castle tower, and under the cover of his personal guards, he looked down at the city.

The three board carts that rushed through the wall of fire, under the desperate push of the Ming soldiers, leaned on both sides of the city gate, Hong Chengchou confirmed the guess in his heart, these board cars were a decoy, there was no gunpowder on them, and the commander of the Ming army was nothing more than using the lives of these hundreds of people to cover up his true purpose.

But what is his real purpose?

The heavy armor soldiers who were already at the forefront of the team and acted as a "bullet shield" were caught up by the board car when they were approaching the city wall, but at this time they had already caught up.

They don't move fast, but they are very steady, and a wall of fire of about ten paces can be crossed with bated breath, and they can hardly do any harm to them.

Hong Chengchou suddenly came to his senses, and he shouted hysterically, "Stop them...... Stop the heavy armoured soldiers from approaching the city gates......! ”

But the problem is that he has already left the city tower, and even if the standard-bearer follows him, he will not be able to immediately occupy the high point and give orders to the defenders of the city wall for dozens of miles.

The only people who could see the flag order were the hundreds of defenders in front of them.

Originally, hundreds of defenders could still play a certain role in stopping them, but they were facing heavy armor soldiers, and the arrows did not work at all on them like scratching their boots, and they smashed them from the city wall several zhang high with stones and rolling logs, and the target was too small, although the effect was not large, and it could not prevent the heavy armor soldiers from approaching the city wall.

At least 20 heavy armored soldiers entered the city gate bridge at this moment, relying on the cover set up by three board cars.

Hong Chengchou realized that he had made a mistake in judgment, and in a hurry, he kicked over the guards who were covering him and rushed towards the city tower.

As soon as he rushed into the city tower, Hong Chengchou urgently ordered the defenders of the city gate to withdraw the city wall and prepare to meet the Ming army.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had clearly realized the intentions of the commander of the Ming army.

Everything is just to break the city, the board car is a trick, the real killing, or the heavy armor soldiers who originally thought it was used by the dead soldiers as human shields.

And the heavy armor soldiers entered the city gate and bridge, and there was almost no way to stop it.

If it is an ordinary soldier, you can force it back from top to bottom, pour fire oil, or shoot from a preset arrow hole, but these will not work at all against heavy armor for a short time.

With so many heavily armored soldiers, the accumulated gunpowder is definitely not a small number, Hong Chengchou knew that he was wrong, and the only response he could think of was to remove the soldiers from the city wall and fight with the Ming army in the streets.

Can be ...... time It's too late.

Hong Chengchou personally supervised the battle this time, and mobilized more than half of the army to defend on the city wall for dozens of miles.

In addition, Hong Chengchou ran back to the city tower from the city wall to give an order, and then the flag order was issued, this time was enough for the heavy armor soldiers who entered the city gate and bridge to collect the gunpowder bags they had picked up, pile them up and compact, and then ...... Detonate.

In order to achieve the maximum explosion effect, the twenty or so heavy armor soldiers took off their heavy armor and compacted the gunpowder pile.

They knew that in an explosion of this magnitude, wearing heavy armor, there might be a slight chance of survival.

But they took off their heavy armor without hesitation.

With a "boom", the sky collapsed, a muffled sound was like thunder falling from nine days, and a huge smoke and dust rose up with a tongue of fire.

The whole tower was like a lot of dwarf.

This plan is not all the planning of Wu Zheng alone, but from the generals under him.

Sun Zhaokui, Shen Zibing, and Shen Ziqi went to the camp first.

Ji Conglian, Huang Desheng and other martyrs' orphans and hundreds of strong men who had just enlisted in Jiangyin formed a team of more than 100 boards.

Wu Zheng couldn't bear it, but he couldn't resist their insistence, and he couldn't refuse their demand to avenge the 100,000 unjust souls in Jiangyin City.

Wu Zhengqiang, who was a few miles away, suppressed the tears that were about to drip from his eyes, pointed his knife at the sky, and slashed down with all his might!

He took the lead, and his two thousand horsemen gathered into a stream of iron and swept away towards the city gates.

The distance of several miles, for the charging cavalry, is between counting and breathing.

The cavalry of the Ming army had already seen the scene of the previous camp and the camp of the board car, and it was as if they had found an outlet at this time.

From the moment he poured into the city gate, there was no mercy, and in the face of the Qing army that collided, regardless of whether he was indiscriminate, he was slashing his face.

The thousands of defenders in the panicked city could not resist this change at all, and surrendered one after another.

At this time, the Qing army that withdrew from the city wall happened to encounter Song Anbu's entry into the city, and a fierce battle broke out.

Wu Zhengsuo led 2,000 cavalry as if into a no-man's land, rushed straight into the city's government and Yamen, and captured all the officials in Changzhou.

At this point, the recovery of Changzhou City is a foregone conclusion.
