Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the Ming army began to bury pots and cook in the camp.

The smoke curls and the aroma of cooked rice porridge makes people whet their appetite.

The Ming army finished breakfast as fast as they could, and then began to prepare for the siege.

Wang Liuhu, Chen Tiehammer, Wang Ergou and others were eager to try.

This is their first battle after defecting to the Ming army, so they naturally have to play well.

A lonely Tuxian town looked a little small in the face of the huge battle of the Ming army.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for that snare drum to sound.

"Rumble!"

In anticipation, the drums of war finally sounded.

Under Li Laiheng's order, the field artillery pushed by the Ming army was aimed at the head of the city and bombarded.

This is the first time that the thirteen companies have used this new type of artillery in real combat.

To say that His Majesty the Emperor was really broad-minded and trusted them so much that he even allocated dozens of the best artillery pieces to them.

Although this small cannon is not as powerful as the Hongyi cannon, it is very easy to transport and is conducive to carrying on large-scale marches.

On the whole, the practical value of field artillery is significantly higher.

With the sound of cannonballs, cannonballs smashed towards the city walls in all directions.

In an instant, the rammed earth city wall was smashed into several large pits.

Many Qing soldiers at the head of the city were directly lifted away, and a large number of people were killed directly.

"Keep blasting, don't stop!"

Li Laiheng coldly ordered.

He would not have ordered a general attack without blowing a hole in the wall.

This is a responsibility for the lives of the soldiers.

Where had the Qing army at the head of the city seen such a battle, and they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

The artillery fire was continuous, and the city tower was also smashed.

This formation alone scared the Qing army.

"Mom, the thief is too brave. No wonder Huguang and Jiangxi couldn't hold it, and even Nanjing was lost. ”

"Who's to say it's not, or let's surrender. If we continue to carry it, we may all be blown to pulp. ”

"Alas, but I have heard that the thieves are very cruel, and all the Qing soldiers who broke the city were cut down. The head hangs on the tower of the city gate, and there are too many to hang up! ”

"Hey, it's fake. If that's the case, then it's a fart! Directly follow the thief to the end. Even if we have to die, we have to pull two cushions. In this way, Huangquan Road is not lonely! ”

"Yes, fight the thief to the end! Kill one and earn one! Kill two to get a pair! ”

After a short conversation, the two Qing generals came to an agreement.

Although they knew that they would definitely not last long, they were really unwilling to be killed like this.

It's just that when the artillery fire was a little weaker, they leaned over and looked out, and immediately sat on the ground in fright.

Mom, the Ming army is dense, one after another.

There must be at least 50,000 or 60,000 people in this battle, right?

There are so many people, even if one person spits on a mouthful of spit, he must drown people, right?

But now that the decision has been made, there is naturally no chance of reversal.

What's even more terrifying is that they found that the city wall had been blasted out of several large holes, each of which could accommodate an adult to pass through!

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army launched a charge, although it was only infantry, but the sound was like a big earthquake!

The Qing soldiers were frightened, and it took a long time to react.

"Quick, plug these big holes!"

The Qing soldiers lifted stones to block the entrance of the cave, although they could barely plug it, but it was certainly incomparable with the original completely integrated city wall.

But now it's just going to work.

"Shoot arrows, shoot these thieves!"

The Qing army general roared hysterically.

"Kill the thieves of light, or they will enter the city and kill us!"

There is no need for too much mobilization, and every Qing soldier in the face of the most basic life and death has exerted his strength.

Bend the bow and shoot the arrows in one go.

Although the Ming army's defense is in place, it will still be hit by some stray arrows.

Some of the soldiers fell down screaming.

The bandits, led by Wang Liuhu, suffered the most casualties.

After all, they have almost no armor protection, and how can they withstand the rain of arrows purely by relying on their flesh and blood!

Although Wang Liuhu was very helpless, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

Only in this way can General Lee Lai Heng see their sincerity.

Haven't all non-descendant armies come over like this since ancient times?

If you want to gain trust, you have to give something.

"Rush, brothers. We've been holding up with Tartars for a long time! This time, count with their old and new hatreds! ”

Many of the fallen bandits and the Qing army have grudges, and they are naturally very hard at the moment.

Although from time to time someone was shot and fell to the ground, no one complained a single word.

Gradually, the Ming army had rushed to the city.

They lifted the prepared ladder and erected it on the rammed earth wall.

Compared with the brick-covered cities such as the government city and the provincial city, the city wall of the county seat is too low.

Although the big hole smashed by the artillery has been blocked, the Ming army can still quickly climb to the top of the city through the ladder to pose a threat to the Qing army.

The problem of the shortage of manpower in the Qing army was fully exposed at this moment, and they could not prevent one place from going up at the same time.

"Quick, get rid of the thief!"

Seeing that there were Ming soldiers on the top of the city so soon, the Qing general couldn't help it.

Although they are ready to die, they still have to struggle when the time comes.

They picked up the horizontal knives and desperately slashed at the Ming soldiers who were rising, suppressing the momentum of many Ming troops for a while.

After all, they occupy the advantage of the terrain, and they can still pose a threat to the Ming army if they let it go.

But the Ming army is a wave of waves, and one wave after another will not work.

Gradually, the physical strength of the Qing army had problems.

Under this high-intensity confrontation, their physical exertion is simply too fast!

At first, dozens of Ming soldiers climbed the city, and then it became hundreds, thousands...

The Ming army quickly established a foothold at the head of the city, and it was not long before the number of Ming troops at the head of the city surpassed the Qing army.

White-bladed hand-to-hand combat knives see blood.

From time to time, soldiers fell, and of course the number of Qing soldiers who fell was even higher.

The situation soon got out of control, and the remaining Qing troops had no choice but to give up control of the city and flee from the road.

Although I know that I will definitely not be able to leave the city, I can live for a moment.

A smile appeared on Lee Rae-hyung's face.

This battle is even simpler than Li Laiheng imagined.

Before he could exert his strength, the Qing army fell.

There is no need to worry about the next thing at all, Li Laiheng just needs to wait to enter the city.

As their first battle after entering Fengyang, this battle can be described as a good start.

Li Laiheng is very clear that the political significance of taking Fengyang far outweighs economic interests.

As long as Fengyang is taken, two of the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty will be held in their hands, which will be of great benefit to boosting the morale of the anti-Qing people in the world.

And Li Laiheng will also become a famous general on the same level as Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong because of this battle.
