The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is too terrifying, these reinforcements can't be counted on, Wen Muan can only rely on himself!

He watched as the Ming army launched wave after wave of offensives like mercury, and those reinforcements only had the power to parry, and they had no ability to fight back.

About an hour later, the Ming army completely defeated the Qing soldiers, and these Qing soldiers from afar ran and scattered, like local chickens and dogs.

Having disposed of the corpses left behind, they did not have any effect on the outcome of the battle.

"The thief is terrible."

The generals at the head of the city all gasped and expressed similar thoughts to Wen Mu'an.

Will they really be able to hold Yangzhou? How long can it hold?

...

...

Zhu Youlang looked at Zhao Xu and Li Dingguo, who returned with blood all over their bodies, and stepped forward to greet them cordially.

"Haha, I know that King Jin and General Li will not disappoint me."

He laughed and said: "The Tartars were killed by you and lost their armor, which is really a great strength of our army." ”

"Your Majesty has praised it."

Li Dingguo hugged his fists and said: "It's these green battalion soldiers who are really vulnerable, and the ministers only led a few rounds of charges, and they were crushed and scattered." ”

Zhao Xu also hugged his fists and said: "The minister also found that this captive army did not have much desire to fight, and it seemed that they were forced to come." Once you fall into a disadvantaged situation, you immediately give up, and you don't have the slightest intention of resisting. ”

Zhu Youlang bowed his head slightly in agreement.

Actually, he can see it.

These Qing army reinforcements should have been drawn from Huai'an and Susong.

Combined, the number of troops in these places is far greater than these tens of thousands.

Whether these unlucky people are drawn by lot, or drawn by lot, or transferred directly by the Qing general, it is impossible to be willing.

In this case, if their combat effectiveness can be high, there will be ghosts.

But this is definitely a good thing for the Ming army.

This is equivalent to indirectly depleting the strength of the Huai'an and Su Songqing armies. Waiting until the Ming army takes Yangzhou to fight these places will be much less stressful and difficult.

"King Jin, how many thieves did General Li kill this time?"

"Your Majesty, the sons are still counting the heads, but after preliminary estimates, there are still 30,000 people."

Li Dingguo thought for a while and replied very seriously.

"It's quite a few."

The cavalry hedging of 50,000 or 60,000 people on both sides can be said to have made Zhu Youlang too addicted. The most important thing is that through this battle, Zhu Youlang clearly understood the combat power of the Qing army's green battalion.

At least in Jiangnan, these green battalion soldiers are not to be feared.

"When the head count is finished, let's start attacking the city."

Zhu Youlang is now full of confidence and can't wait to take Yangzhou.

...

...

Wen Mu'an watched the Ming soldiers outside the city cut off the heads of the Qing soldiers they had killed and piled up the corpses into a hill-like Jingguan, and he was speechless in surprise.

Cruel, it's too cruel.

Wen Mu'an had seen the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners before, and according to such a comparison, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners was not as good as that of the Ming Army.

With such a powerful Dominion Army, how did it be forced to the end of the mountains and rivers by the Qing Dynasty and hide in the mountains in the southwest?

Wen Muan was puzzled.

Of course, he doesn't need to think about these things now, the first thing he needs to think about now is how to hold Yangzhou and save this little life.

Tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers were killed like leeks, and if they didn't want to be cut off like them, Wen Mu'an had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

The thief seems to like the tactic of bombing the city with a coffin, and he must disrupt the enemy's attempts to ensure the safety of the city walls.

Judging from the defeat of the Qing army in the past, once the city wall is broken, it is only a matter of time.

"General Li, General He, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the Ming thief, once the Ming thief wants to dig a tunnel, he will give this mansion a hard blow. Stop the thief's attempt at all costs. ”

Although Wen Muan is not good at the art of war, he can only bite the bullet now. After all, he is now the highest-ranking civil official in Yangzhou City. If he doesn't stand up and take charge of the overall situation, you can imagine how panicked these Qing generals will be.

Although Wen Mu'an is also a panicked horse, he must show calmness. It's so hard.

...

...

In the rumbling drums of war, the Ming army launched an offensive against Yangzhou City for the first time.

To the surprise of Wen Muan, the Ming army did not dig tunnels, but launched an offensive from the front.

"Quick, hurry up with shelling, don't let the thief come over."

In any case, the role of the cannon is certainly great. Not to mention, the first round of bombardment must be fine.

Under Wen Mu'an's order, the cannons at the head of Yangzhou City roared, and countless shells smashed towards the charging Ming army, and many Ming soldiers were directly blown away.

However, no one flinched, and all the soldiers had only one belief in their hearts, that is, to rush into the city and recover Yangzhou.

The field battle just now has greatly boosted their self-confidence. The Tartars are just stubbornly defending the fortified city, and as long as they attack with all their strength, they will definitely be able to take it.

At this time, you must not be afraid of death, the more you are afraid of death, the more you will die.

On the contrary, he took a breath and rushed forward without hesitation, and it was possible to survive.

"Kill!"

"Rush into the city and avenge the tragic death of the Yangzhou fathers and villagers!"

"Heaven is a good reincarnation, and the heavens forgive anyone. It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. “

Almost all the soldiers of the Ming army remember the atrocities of the Tartars when they went south to attack the city of Yangzhou.

Yangzhou was bleeding for ten days.

Hundreds of people died tragically, blood stained the streets, and corpses piled up.

The Qing army took pleasure in killing people, and both men and women, young and old, became the targets of their anger.

Not even the baby was spared.

This kind of atrocity is simply inferior.

Ten days after Yangzhou, there were few people left alive in Yangzhou, and the Qing army had to move people from nearby prefectures and counties, which was embarrassing.

Nowadays, the people in Yangzhou City are basically moved later. They survived under the brutal rule of the Manchus, and they dared not speak out of their anger.

Now it's finally time for the king to rescue them.

"Brothers, go into the city and teach the Tartars to be human beings!"

Zhu Youlang watched the soldiers charge bravely, and he was very relieved.

The reason why he did not continue to choose the tactic of shelling the city this time was because of the strong city wall of Yangzhou.

In the entire Jiangnan region, Yangzhou's city walls are probably only slightly weaker than Nanjing's.

No one would think of blowing up the walls of Nanjing, right?

Yangzhou is the same.

In fact, the coffin bombing city has the best effect on the county city wall of the general rammed earth structure. Generally, the city wall covered with bricks can also be used. But for example, Yangzhou and Nanjing, where the city walls are very strong, still don't try, it's just a joke.

Although he couldn't use this killing move, Zhu Youlang was still very confident, because the corpse after the battle just now could be used as a cover, and the moat could be filled at a critical moment, minimizing the losses of the Ming army.
