Zu Dabi knew very well that in the past ten days, it was not the Han Eight Banners that really blocked the Taizhou Guard, but the Huai'an Guard and Dahe Guards who were all in the city.

But the problem is that Zu Dabi knows that he doesn't have so much heavy armor and can defend the city wall that spans twenty miles.

It's a tactical fraud.

There is a saying that only when the tide is low, can you find out who is swimming.

People are often deceived by what they see, thinking that there are heavy armor soldiers on the city gates and towers, and there should be them on the left and right city walls.

This notion, after returning again and again in vain, is self-reinforcing and becomes deeply rooted.

Not only did Jiang Quanyi not notice it in the slightest, but even Wu Zheng thought that this was the truth.

In Wu Zheng's opinion, since Dolgon has deployed the defense of Huai'an City, he will not favor one over the other, but how can Wu Zheng think that even if Dolgon is generous, he will not prepare thousands or tens of thousands of heavy armor to equip the defenders of Huai'an City.

If he really has so much heavy armor, why not build more heavy cavalry? That's Dorgon's forte.

Therefore, Zu Dabi became nervous, but it was only nervous.

Because on the twenty-mile city wall, there are no less than the number of defenders in Taizhou, and the offensive and defensive battles, especially the siege battles that can rely on the strong city, are always the defenders who take advantage.

But when he really saw countless fire dragons rushing towards the city wall, Zu Dabi finally oozed cold sweat.

Thinking in the heart, theory is theory, the real outbreak of the decisive battle, that is the game of life and death, this is a battle that consumes human lives, no matter which side, if the person dies, it will not be recovered.

Even if he finally holds and wins, the huge casualties will subvert his own defense of Huai'an City.

Zu Dabi was a little frightened, and he realized that he had always underestimated the enemy and Jiang Quanyi.

……。

Those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of dying.

This sentence has been proven to be correct from ancient times to the present.

Even if there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, the weak side is really going to fight hard, and the strong side will also be hurt.

And the final result is often unexpected, the outcome of the war is often not the comparison of strength, but who can endure the pain more and can resist the pain, often laugh to the end, although it is, miserable laughter!

But after all, it's a laugh, isn't it?

It's better to laugh than to cry!

Zhao Shi is also laughing, laughing miserably!

He is a villain, who can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, ignoring the lives of innocent people, and brazenly provoking a fight.

But he is a real villain, and the difference between a real villain and a villain is that a real villain never hides that he is a villain.

The so-called ugly words are in front, and the people who like to say this sentence are often villains, real villains.

Zhao Shi still has a conscience, watching countless women, children, old and weak die tragically under the arrows and bullets like locusts, and listening to the heart-rending screams that are continuous in pieces.

He could only laugh, laugh miserably!

It was a massacre, a massacre with resistance, to be precise.

The enemy, with 3,000 fronts and tens of thousands on the left and right, was closing in an orderly manner on the three streets.

The total number of "rebels" is more than 4,000 people, and they have to worry about their families behind them, how can this battle be won?

The soldiers tried their best to resist, but to no avail, and after a pillar of incense, the "rebels" had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and were forced to retreat for three or four miles, and the streets of these three or four miles were covered with corpses and rivers of blood.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy was approaching, and Zhao Shi finally couldn't stand the torment in his heart, and let out a roar like a ghost crying wolf.

Then, he led two or three hundred long forest guards around him, rushed to the enemy, and joined the battle.

In fact, at this time, no matter whether Zhao Shi is a villain, a real villain, or a villain with a conscience, he has washed away his sins with his actions.

But what's the use of that?

Two or three hundred, Chang Lin Wei, who is not good at fighting, what effect can they have on the battle situation?

……。

However, Zhao Shi led the Changlin Health Force and threw it head-on into the battlefield on the main street, which really stabilized the "rebel" front that was retreating step by step.

In fact, many times, momentum is the most important.

It's like when someone is pressed and beaten, all the defensive skills that can be thought of and mastered will be ineffective, or even remembered. This is a mountain of defeat.

But at this time, as long as there is a force to invest and support it, so that the defeated army has a chance to breathe, the situation will be much better.

The width of the middle street was also more than two zhang, and there were only dozens of people who could be arranged horizontally, and Zhao Shi led two or three hundred people upstream, stubbornly withstanding the approaching enemy, which made the retreating "rebels" finally gain a firm foothold.

As I said before, in fact, in such a battle, the "rebels" took advantage, and the two sides shot at each other, one life for another, and the fact is also true.

But when Zu Dabi ordered 10,000 reserves to attack the "rebels" left and right, the "rebels" lost their proportions.

Also, the main general Chen Dong is not there, Zhao Shi is a slippery person who cherishes his life, and the "rebels" have no one to command, how can they not be defeated?

But at this time, Zhao Shi led Chang Lin Wei to go upstream, stabilizing the front and boosting morale even more.

After respite, the "rebel" soldiers finally thought of their families behind them twice, so they quickly turned around and threw themselves into battle, and in a blink of an eye, the front stabilized again, and even began to counterattack.

This is not surprising, the Qing army, who killed people easily, found that they had been killed, and this subconscious horror made the footsteps hesitate.

They involuntarily retreated slightly.

……。

This is when the variables arise.

At this time, Taizhou Wei had already braved the arrows and stones to rush close to the city wall, but the number of enemies on the city wall was by no means inferior to Taizhou Wei.

It's an uphill battle.

The battle will never end with anyone's sudden collapse.

But there was one thing that I had not expected, that is, there were no heavy armor soldiers on the city walls, and the enemy wore only leather armor at most, and leather armor could not stop muskets and iron bullets.

This understanding has been continuously verified on the 20-mile front.

Several attacks were blocked, and after retreating, the Taizhou guards spontaneously began to carry ammunition and organize manpower to carry cover fire from the top of the city.

Because before, shooting was almost useless in the face of heavy armor soldiers, and in order to reduce the load, soldiers often did not carry ammunition, but only carried a musket equipped with spears, and climbed the ladder to attack.

As a result, once this phenomenon of covering shooting became widespread, the line of defenders of the city wall began to loosen, and the defenders gradually did not even dare to emerge from the city wall.

This makes it easy for Taizhou Wei to climb the wall, often with a ladder leaning against the wall, basically without having to worry about the arrows shooting down from the battlements.

However, the defenders still used wooden sticks to push the ladder outward, but this phenomenon slowly disappeared when the number of Taizhou guards who climbed the city wall increased.

The defenders began to passive, and the tide of battle gradually turned around.
