Jiang Quanyi rushed back to Haizhou City, and there was not much time left for him to deal with it.

The enemy army from the direction of Ganyu in the north has appeared in the field of vision of the defenders at the head of the city, which is obviously not the thousands of people reported by the scouts, at least tens of thousands.

Although it was an infantry, Jiang Quanyi had already seen clearly from the telescope that this was not an ordinary Qing army, but a musket army, which should be one of the new troops that Shen Zhiyuan had trained for the Qing court.

What gave Jiang Quanyi the most headache was that he saw through the telescope that the enemy was pushing and pulling forward, the dozen or so heavy artillery.

Rao is Jiang Quanyi made up his mind to stick to it, and his back couldn't help but swish.

As soon as the battle broke out, Jiang Quanyi had no choice, and the only order he gave was to close the four doors and seal them with earth and stones!

and sealed the gates of the city, that is, they did not enter or go out, together with the people of the city.

When Qi Jiajie galloped into the east gate, the city gate was closed and could not be opened.

Fortunately, the brother guarding the door recognized that this was his brother, so he threw a rope from the top of the city wall and let Qi Jiajie climb in.

But people can climb, horses can't climb, there is no choice, Qi Jiajie can only give up the war horse.

When Jiang Quanyi saw Qi Jiajie who was out of breath, he just patted Qi Jiajie's shoulder, punched him in the chest, and then said, "Go, take your brother's place and take the third battalion...... The south gate will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes, the people are at the city gates!" Qi Jiajie straightened his chest and replied loudly.

Jiang Quanyi definitely didn't expect that it was this order that made Qi Jiajie die at the head of the South Gate City.

He really wants to save the lives of his Qi brothers, but all the generals who have been in Rong for many years care most about inheritance, even if they are iron-blooded and ruthless generals, they can't bear to wipe out their entire army.

Jiang Quanyi not only wanted to keep Qi Jiajie, but also wanted to train Qi Jiajie, he believed that since the enemy pushed and pulled heavy artillery appeared at the north gate, then the main direction of attack should be the north gate, and from the direction of Shuyang is the cavalry, the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, as long as it does not hold out, with the strong city wall of Haizhou as high as two zhang and five feet (about eight meters), there should be no danger.

Therefore, Jiang Quanyi thought that he had judged correctly and handed over the south gate to the third battalion of the Qi brothers.

But Jiang Quanyi seems to have forgotten that when Taizhou Wei attacked Huai'an City, it lost forty percent, and then lost a lot of money in several battles, and the three battalions were basically recruited in addition to the grassroots backbone, and these recruits only had one flank battle when attacking Pei County, and they did not serve as the main force.

Maybe Jiang Quanyi remembers, but in Jiang Quanyi's opinion, it shouldn't be a big problem for recruits to defend the city, besides, even if he is a man who has just put down his hoe, as long as he enters Taizhou Wei, he should be a well-known man.

……。

Jiang Quanyi forgot about Qi Jiajie and Sanying in a blink of an eye, and forgot it completely.

Because it was only more than half an hour, the enemy had just approached the city and launched an attack.

Not even a little purge, this is rampant or extremely confident, Jiang Quanyi doesn't know.

Jiang Quanyi only knew that even if the enemy's sharp spear stabbed him, he had to block it back, and if the shield couldn't block it, he would block it with his body, jam it with the bones in his chest, and then cut off the enemy's head with a knife.

But Jiang Quanyi miscalculated, he had no chance to use his sternum to jam the spear stabbed by the enemy.

As mentioned earlier, Haizhou City is only eight miles away.

Such a small city, even if the walls are high, no matter how strong it is, for tens of thousands of enemy troops, a strong attack is actually the best choice.

There is a good saying, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and each person can flood the three armies with a soak of urine.

Jiang Quanyi also thought so, so he deployed the main force on the city wall and on the main street behind the city tower, so that he could quickly replenish and fill the vacancy on the city wall, that is, "oil tactics".

Tactics are tactics, it doesn't matter whether they are good or bad, as long as they are used in the right place and at just the right time, no matter how low-level tactics are, they can defeat the enemy.

In all the battles of defending the city, the defenders basically used the tactics of adding oil, because they could not surprise the troops, and the initiative in the battle was all in the hands of the attacker.

However, this time, the enemy did not launch a battle to ascend the city.

When more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces smashed dozens of catties of projectiles into the city wall, city towers, and city walls by direct fire, when the defenders on the city wall were so suppressed by the flowering bullets that they couldn't raise their heads to shoot, and when the enemy musketeers took the opportunity to bend down and advance to the firing range and shoot at the city walls and city heads, Jiang Quanyi realized that he was wrong, but he couldn't change anything.

The troops under his command have all been deployed, and the urgent movement will only plunge the city into chaos.

This is also the main reason why in many siege battles, one direction is lost, and reinforcements are not sent from other directions, because when they rush over, the daylily will be cold, and it will weaken their defensive strength in this direction.

Jiang Quanyi scolded angrily in his heart, Shen Zhiyuan, who should have been cut by a thousand knives, actually taught the Qing army the same set as the general school, okay, this time it was used on his own head.

Fortunately, after several generations of dynasties, Haizhou City is indeed extremely strong, and has not collapsed after being bombarded by more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces of the enemy.

Jiang Quanyi had no choice but to order, since it could not be stopped, it would not be blocked, and ordered the defenders to shrink under the battlements, let the enemy go up the city wall, and start hand-to-hand combat.

Jiang Quanyi was convinced that the veteran who had followed him in countless battles under his command would dare to meet the enemy's bayonets, and at the same time, the defenders still had a condescending home advantage.

But Jiang Quanyi miscalculated again, the enemy army just didn't attack the city, they just bombarded it with heavy artillery in turn, and then the musketeers fired upwards to suppress the defenders.

For a whole day, the sound of artillery and gunfire did not stop, and Jiang Quanyi wondered if the Qing court had also built a military workshop, and looked at the projectile as if it didn't cost money.

Many times, morale tends to slowly decrease in resistance.

The soldiers of the defenders, who had been suppressed by artillery fire for a whole day, felt even more tired than fighting for a day.

When it was dark, the enemy under the city began to retreat, and the bonfire on the opposite side was lit, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, damn it, this day was finally over.

Tiredness and sleepiness followed.

Although Jiang Quanyi strictly ordered the soldiers to be careful against the enemy's night attack, you must know that because he is a veteran, he has a good grasp of the battlefield.

Just imagine, the enemy is also a person, this whole day of cannons, guns, shouldn't the enemy take a breath?

Careless.

At the end of the night and the beginning of the ugly hour, when people felt most sleepy, the enemy troops outside the city suddenly attacked.

Almost simultaneously with the heavy artillery bombardment, the infantry ascended the city by ladders.

If it weren't for an enemy soldier who accidentally stepped on the air when climbing the wall, fell down and let out a scream, then Haizhou City would have been broken on this night.
