The transfer of thousands of people may not be able to hide from anyone.

Qing Jun himself soon felt that there were many fewer people behind him, although he didn't understand what was going on, but the more this happened, the more cold his heart became.

Suspicion, like a plague, spreads and spreads rapidly, directly affecting the morale of the Qing army in the fierce battle ahead.

The Qing army's front began to loosen, and even the Qing army's front, which could not be easily shaken by the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who detonated grenades and died with the enemy, was so loosened by suspicion, of course, it was only loosened, far from the point of collapse.

In fact, all this fell in Wu Zheng's eyes, and he quickly realized what was happening in the city.

Naturally, Xiao Anzi, who had been waiting for a long time, finally lived up to his trust and led the army into the city.

Understanding the fleeting nature of the fighters, Wu Zheng ordered to press his reserves and personal guards, that is, the gunners of 300 guns, more than 900 people.

At this time, the soldiers who were fighting hard in front of the Northern Expeditionary Army found that the frontal pressure was light, and the so-called elimination of one and the other increased, and the soldiers saw that the new force had joined the battlefield, and their morale was boosted and they began to counterattack.

……。

Hesitation on the battlefield is often a general's natural enemy.

Chen Jin's strength was not less than that of the Northern Expeditionary Army, even if he lost thousands of cavalry, the main force of the Qing army was still there.

At this time, if Chen Jin transferred thousands of people into the city to directly purge Song Anbu, he could actually do it.

It's a pity that Chen Jin hesitated, the reason for his hesitation was that if the Northern Expeditionary Army from Dongcheng was strong and could not block it, but would lose the opportunity, it would cause the enemy to suffer from the belly and back, so it should be feasible to go up to the city wall and intercept the incoming enemy with a thousand archers.

The so-called do not seek merit, but seek no fault, there is a city wall as a barrier, the enemy in the city will be divided, then, with the Qing army's physical strength and fighting skills are better than the Northern Expeditionary Army, there is still something to be done on the battlefield outside the city.

Theoretically, Chen Jin's plan was not wrong, but Chen Jin ignored one point, that is, the crossbows and artillery on the city wall were all rushing outside the city, and it was impossible to turn around and block inward.

This caused the defenders on the city wall to only use bows and arrows to block, which is normal and fine, but at this time, facing the Northern Expeditionary Army, it was completely different.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was armed with improved flint muskets with a range of 15 or 60 paces, while Song An also carried 36 tiger squat cannons with a range of 500 paces.

In this way, a very unfavorable situation was formed for the defenders, because there was no need to worry about being threatened by the artillery and crossbow arrows on the city, the Northern Expeditionary Army could approach to a distance of 500 paces, and begin to shoot the defenders on the city wall with tiger cannons, and then within 150 paces, shoot at the city with muskets.

But the defenders can only hold the top of their heads, and even if the northerners are excellent in archery, they have never heard of being able to shoot arrows to a hundred and fifty paces, which can only exist in legends.

Therefore, Chen Jin was wrong, so wrong that he was so wrong that he couldn't be remedied.

On the battlefield, the difference in the general's thoughts determines the success or failure of a battle, just like sailing against the current, if you don't win, you will lose!

If you want to be thoughtful, it's almost impossible.

Chen Jin is defeated!

When he heard the screams of fighting on the city wall behind him, Chen Jin understood that he had been defeated.

The sound of fighting came from the city wall, indicating that the Northern Expeditionary Army in the city had attacked the city wall, so as long as the Northern Expeditionary Army appeared at the head of the city, even a soldier would be devastating to the morale of the battlefield outside the city.

Chen Jin began to consider another possibility...... Surrender.

But he was still hesitating, because the army outside the city was not all his descendant Han Army's Zhenglan Banner (Chen Jin led only a part of the Zhenglan Banner, not the whole banner), and there were also genuine Manqi Army.

These Manchu armies were brought in when they retreated from the Qinghe River before, and when Dolgon had no intention of purging, they remained in Chen Jin's army and were under Chen Jin's command.

If Chen Jin wants to surrender, then he must first pass the level of the Manchurian Army, and it is conceivable that once Chen Jin orders to surrender, this Manchurian Banner Army will quickly turn against each other, and then it will be the end of the burning of jade.

Chen Jin made a decision in panic, and he quietly summoned his confidants and generals to discuss secretly.

……。

This battle has been going on for nearly three hours.

The soldiers on both sides were exhausted and their necks were starting to get hungry.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, the soldiers on both sides couldn't help but look forward to the sound of gold at the same time.

It is inconceivable to say that in these two hours of fierce fighting, the casualties on both sides were not large, far less neat than at the beginning of the war, when the Northern Expeditionary Army "pitted" thousands of cavalry of the Qing army.

Before the stalemate, many soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army bravely and decisively detonated the grenade to open the passage for the follow-up comrades.

At this time, it is really difficult to kill a person, and naturally there will not be too many casualties.

At this time, Wu Zheng was anxious, Song An had more than 400 people in the city, and if there was no progress outside the city, it would inevitably affect the lone army in the city.

But it's useless to be in a hurry, and the battle is fought to a stalemate, and it is no longer possible to solve the problem by being in a hurry.

Just when Wu Zheng was eager for change, the change really came.

……。

Wu Zheng saw a strange scene from the telescope.

Very quirky!

The stalemate between the enemy army and the Northern Expeditionary Army outside the city began to thin out.

What kind of array is this?

Wu Zheng couldn't help but wonder.

The front is thinning, naturally someone is withdrawing, could it be that the enemy still wants to transfer troops into the city to encircle and suppress Song Anbu?

But this is not right, if you manage the inside of the city, you don't care about the outside of the city?

This confusion was just a momentary effort in Wu Zheng's mind.

Wu Zheng quickly ordered, "Shoot all the remaining shells, the target, the two sides are stuck in the direction of the city gate." ”

The order was swiftly executed, and more than a hundred flowering bombs roared out.

The two sides were separated from the back of the Qing army, so that a space appeared in the Qing army's formation, and billowing smoke and dust were filled.

Wu Zheng's original intention was that what the enemy wanted to do, absolutely stopped, it was as simple as that.

Want to transfer troops into the city to encircle and suppress Song Anbu? It's not that easy!

But Wu Zheng would never have imagined that his more than 100 shells would help Chen Jin a lot.

……。

The most ruthless arrows, often from behind, are hidden arrows.

Hidden arrows are hard to defend against.

Betrayers will always be more ruthless than the enemy against "their former own people", perhaps for self-preservation, or to soothe the remaining regret in their hearts.

That's right, it's apologetic, and it's because of apology that it's more ferocious and tyrannical.

Someone once said that only when you have the blood of your relatives on your hands can you be ruthless in the world, and the reason is the same.

Wu Zheng ordered the only remaining tiger squat cannon shells to be fired, the original intention was that the enemy opposed and I agreed, and what the enemy wanted to do must be stopped, it's as simple as that.

After the shells poured and exploded, the sky was full of smoke and dust, but compared to the previous salvo, the scene was obviously much smaller.
