PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Yuan Xing".

Jiang Quanyi's chosen strategy was indeed effective, once the government soldiers approached the wall, the Qing soldiers on the city wall could only give up the artillery and use bows and arrows instead, but the distance of 100 paces, the accuracy between the hastes was greatly reduced, and after only shooting three or four people, the government soldiers had already reached the city wall, and fought with the rout army that had been chased by the government soldiers for half of Xiushui City before.

However, at this time, the rout of the Qing army was no longer a rout, it had already joined the main force, with its back to the city wall and the support of firepower, which gave them confidence in their hearts.

This kind of hand-to-hand combat is very cruel, and there is no retreat for both sides.

The government soldiers did not dare to retreat, and retreating was the target of artillery.

The Qing soldiers could not retreat, and there was a city wall behind them.

After a moment of hesitation, the Qing soldiers on the city wall decided to send a team of thirty men down to reinforce them.

With the reinforcement of this new force, Jiang Quanyi's troops were in danger and in danger.

Fortunately, at this time, Lu Zhiyu finally arrived with two hundred and eighty-nine horsemen.

"Enemy Attack ——!" With the mournful screams of the soldiers on the city wall, six twelve-pounder cannons began to roar.

But it is also a round of chance, the loading of the front-loading cannon is indeed too slow, and it is even too slow for a small cavalry like Lu Zhiyu.

Lu Zhiyu was really startled, but after a round, he found that the artillery on the city wall did not fire continuously, and Lu Zhiyu quickly ordered the cavalry who had slowed down to avoid the artillery fire and accelerated to approach the city wall.

Lu Zhiyu was about to break through, and his feelings at this time could only be described as terrifying.

After receiving Wu Zheng's order to transfer troops, Lu Zhiyu only thought it was an ordinary rebellion, but now, he found that this was by no means an ordinary rebellion, even Jin Shanwei was not equipped with such a heavy artillery, how could it be an ordinary rebellion?

From this, what he thought of was the situation of Wu Zheng under the siege of such a rebel army.

Therefore, Lu Zhiyu had already made the decision at this time, even if the whole army was disabled, he would rush into the city and join Wu Zheng.

The height of the Xiushui city wall is only two people high, and when you stand on a war horse, you can reach out and climb it.

As more and more soldiers approached the city wall, the Qing soldiers on the city wall no longer had time to shoot arrows and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The victory or defeat of the battle often depends on the choice of the front-line generals in the face of a dilemma.

Even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, I am afraid that he will not be able to accurately predict every change in the battlefield, and only the first-line generals are the real key to winning or losing.

A qualified general and an incompetent general, when faced with a choice, are completely different.

For example, like Jiang Quanyi's department, in fact, if he turns around and runs, at least some people can run out, but instead rush forward, once he is stuck, it is a dead end.

But Jiang Quanyi resolutely chose to rush forward, which invisibly led to the division of the defenders on the city wall, which seriously affected the firepower density of the city wall, and indirectly gave more than 200 people in the Lu Zhiyu domain the opportunity to quickly approach the city wall. Of course, the Qing army's dispatch of small artillery to attack Jiang Quanyi was also one of the main reasons why the Lu Zhiyu Department was able to approach the city wall smoothly.

Another example is Lu Zhiyu, first of all, when he received Wu Zheng's order, he was able to analyze Wu Zheng's intention to transfer troops, and then mobilized war horses, went out with a small force, and rushed to Xiushui, which had already laid the foundation for the victory of this battle.

Even if Jiang Quanyi's army was completely annihilated, it would have no impact on the final outcome of the battle.

Because more than 200 Qing soldiers in Dongcheng are already on the periphery of the Lu domain and surrounded by the inner periphery of Wu Zheng.

And when Lu Zhiyu was bombarded by six heavy artillery on the city wall, if he changed to an ordinary general, he would first think about whether there were heavy soldiers on the city wall in ambush? Is it time to get out of range and find out the situation before making a decision?

In addition, more than 200 people are cavalry, and the cavalry is not suitable for attacking the city, even if Lu Zhiyu really does this, he will not be able to find fault after the war.

But Lu Zhiyu's first thought was Wu Zheng's safety, and what he thought of was that if Wu Zheng was in trouble, this force would fall apart.

As a result, Jiang Quanyi unintentionally helped Lu Zhizai contain the defenders on the city wall, and Lu Zhiyu inadvertently saved Jiang Quanyi's troops who would have been wiped out.

The wrong premise, coupled with the wrong understanding, but the result went in the right direction.

This is the instinctive reaction of a good general.

It only took a pillar of incense time, under the combined attack of the east and west, inside and outside, the Qing army collapsed, and even if the city wall collapsed, it was at most to jump off the city wall, although it would not fall to death, where could you escape?

The Qing soldiers surrendered, and those who did not die surrendered, more than 130 people.

……。

After Wu Zheng took control of the dock, he led his troops back to Xicheng.

The Xicheng where Zhang Huangyan supervised the battle was the most time-consuming battle in this battle.

At this time, the government soldiers had already attacked the city wall, and the enemy and us were short combat.

At least half of the defenders had fled, but the rest were putting up a hard fight.

Originally, Sun Zhengqiang was responsible for the defense of Xicheng, but Sun Zhengqiang refused to stay away from Chen Hongfan, for fear that Chen Hongfan would carry him a black pot, so the command of these 400 people was handed over to a Niu Lu Zhang Jingma Jianzhong (the original Niu Lu Ezhen, and later renamed Zuo E, which is equivalent to Ming Qianzong).

This Ma Jianzhong belonged to the Manchu Han Army Zheng Red Banner, originally a subordinate of the Gongshun King Kong Youde, Kong Youde was recalled to the capital by the Qing court from Huguang, just when the Qing court wanted to transfer troops into Xiushui, disguised as a courtyard, so Ma Jianzhong led his troops to Xiushui.

There are more than 800 nursing homes in this Xiushui City, half of which are under his command.

I have to say that this guy is indeed a hardcore traitor.

Seeing that the county government, wharf, and Dongcheng had all been ignited, the Ming army had climbed the city wall, and the defenders had also fled in large numbers, he was stunned and took more than 100 people from his family to fight fiercely with the government soldiers, and refused to surrender.

Until Wu Zheng led his troops back to help, Ma Jianzhong still brought thirty or forty cronies around him to resist stubbornly.

After Wu Zheng led people up the city wall, he ordered to use the muskets obtained from the dock to line up and shoot these thirty or forty people, so as to eliminate these dozens of hardcore traitors.

At this point, this unexpected rebellion finally came to an end.

In this battle, the people suffered 161 casualties, including 57 people in the county Yaqian Street, including Xu Lizheng. One hundred and four dock porters were killed or wounded, including Lao Zhangtou's two brothers.

Twenty-four men were killed or wounded.

The government soldiers suffered 317 casualties, and the Jinshan Weilu Domain suffered 29 casualties.

A total of 531 military and civilian casualties were imposed.

Annihilated more than 600 Qing soldiers, captured 189 people, captured Chen Hongfan and Sun Zhengqiang, and captured 17 other collaborating merchants.

More than 5,000 muskets and 78 artillery pieces were seized.

3,000 taels of gold and more than 90,000 taels of silver were found in the county government treasury.

Seventeen merchants who collaborated with the enemy were confiscated, and a total of more than 7,000 taels of gold and 870,000 taels of silver were obtained.

The merchant's family was confiscated into the lowly nationality and sent to Xincheng to work as coolies and laborers.

Wu Zheng ordered that a kilometer from Xiushui Wharf should be built and a seven-foot monument should be erected, and eight bright red characters were written on the monument - national heroes, immortal!
