"Hahahaha, Anqing is about to be broken, Brother Gao Jie's Shaanxi army is really powerful, and it should be the first credit!" Zuo Liangyu saw that people were constantly attacking the city wall of Anqing, and Anqing was already in danger, so he suddenly laughed happily.

"Brother Zuo Miao! If it weren't for Brother Zuo's men and horses that consumed the physical strength of the Anqing defenders, it would not be so easy for my army to attack the Anqing city wall. Gao Jie also smiled, if he could really break the city, it would be extremely beneficial for him in the future.

On the city wall of Anqing, Huang Degong saw that counter-armies began to attack everywhere, and the defenders on the city wall were gradually suppressed, showing despair.

"Lord Commander, I'm afraid Anqing won't be able to keep it, my lord, let's withdraw!" A pro-soldier persuaded Huang Degong to say.

Huang Degong looked at the Anqing city wall that was about to be lost and was inexplicably sad and angry, gritted his teeth, he already knew the news of the emperor's imperial expedition, the emperor's reinforcements were likely to arrive soon, he had already lost Jiujiang, and he couldn't let Anqing lose at this time, otherwise how could he be worthy of the emperor.

"Anqing has not yet been lost, the general army will never retreat, immediately send the order down, the reinforcements of the imperial court will arrive immediately, as long as it lasts, Anqing can hold on, and afterwards I will ask for credit for everyone!" After Huang Degong finished the order, he violently broke the arrow shot at his left shoulder.

"Kill!" Huang Degong was injured to face the battle, with Huang Degong's example, and heard that the imperial court reinforcements were about to arrive, the morale of the Anqing defenders was greatly boosted, and they immediately suppressed the rebels who attacked the city wall, but Gao Jie's elite Shaanxi army continued to climb the city wall, and the Anqing defenders were clinging to each other, and Huang Degong didn't know how long they could hold out.

"Report to ---, General Soldier, the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived!" At this time, a soldier braved the rain of arrows to come to Huang Degong to report to him.

"Really? Good! Hahahaha, great, reinforcements have really arrived! Huang Degong instantly perked up, and after slashing and killing a rebel on the opposite side, there were tears in his old eyes, the reinforcements from the imperial court really arrived, and Anqing defended it, and he Huang Degong did not disappoint the emperor.

"Kill, ---" The city resounded with an earth-shattering shout of killing, tens of thousands of troops climbed the city wall along the stairs from the city, accompanied by the sound of muskets, more than 1,000 rebels who attacked the city wall were instantly suppressed completely, and were constantly killed, the corpses fell off the city wall, and all the city walls in Anqing were taken back.

On the high platform outside the city, Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie watched in shock as a large number of soldiers who had just besieged the city wall turned into corpses and fell off the city wall.

"What's going on! Didn't so many people attack it, why were they beaten down again, damn it! Zuo Liangyutie's face was blue, and Gao Jie's face was even more unsightly, they were all his henchmen.

"Hiss~~ That's ----- Dragon Banner!" Gao Jie's eyes suddenly widened and pointed to the highest part of the Anqing City Tower, where a bright yellow dragon flag was erected, and the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it was lifelike, with a terrifying momentum, which was the banner representing the emperor.

Zuo Liangyu was also stunned, and immediately laughed excitedly.

"Hahahaha, Dragon Banner! It must be the little emperor who personally led the army here, God really help me! Zuo Liangyu's face was flushed with excitement, and there was a feeling of red light.

"Pass the order, at all costs, go all out to attack the city, be sure to enter Anqing, capture the emperor alive, and make him a wait, and reward him with ten thousand taels of gold." Zuo Liangyu was happy, and made a promise to be a marquis before he conquered Nanjing.

This can't help Zuo Liangyu not be excited, because if he can catch the emperor directly here, then he can win without attacking Nanjing City, with the emperor in hand, the hundred officials of Nanjing City will throw a mouse bogey, and it is even likely that someone will directly offer the city to him, and all parts of the Jiangnan will also change their flags and surrender to him Zuo Liangyu because the emperor is in his hands, this is really a godsend!

However, Zuo Liangyu's idea is good, but what he didn't expect is that after all, the army under his command originally belonged to the army of the Ming Dynasty, and now it occupies the name of rebellion.

Anqing city wall, Ji Feng led a team of Yinglong soldiers, followed by another 10,000 troops to recapture the city walls of Anqing, and completely stabilized Anqing's defense.

"Mr. Huang, are you okay?" Ji Feng came to Huang Degong's side, and seeing that Huang Degong was injured, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"It's just an arrow wound, and I can't kill Huang Degong!" Huang Degong endured the pain and said with a smile.

As long as Anqing is saved, his injury is nothing.

"By the way, did the emperor personally lead the army here?" Huang Degong asked Ji Feng.

"Yes, the emperor himself led an army of 250,000 to come, and he has already entered Anqing, and the emperor is about to see General Huang, so you can go with me to meet the emperor." Ji Feng said with a smile.

Huang Degong nodded, and with the support of his own soldiers, he followed Ji Feng down the city tower to meet Zhu Cihong.

With the arrival of Zhu Cihong, 250,000 troops poured into Anqing, the war horses neighed, and the city of Anqing was full of soldiers, although Anqing was not smaller than Jiujiang, but all of a sudden so many troops entered the city, and it immediately seemed a little crowded, fortunately, Zhu Cihong strictly ordered in advance that no one was allowed to harass the people, and those who violated it were killed! No one dared to commit a crime under the emperor's nose, so the soldiers and the people in the city were at peace, and the people were not disturbed too much because of this, but because of the arrival of so many troops, the sense of security suddenly increased a lot.

"The last general Huang Degong, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"General Huang, please get up." Zhu Cihong noticed the arrow wound on Huang Degong's left shoulder, and immediately asked people to call the imperial doctor: "General Huang swore to resist the attack of the left rebel army, and he made great contributions, and I am deeply grateful." ”

"The last general is ashamed, the last general violated the emperor's trust and failed to guard Jiujiang, he is a sinner, and he deserves to be praised by the emperor so much."

"General Huang's words are different, I didn't expect Gao Jie to be in the same stream as Zuo Rebellion, so I will blame General Huang for the loss, General Huang will recuperate from his injuries for the time being, and after I destroy Zuo Rebellion, I will definitely reward General Huang." Zhu Cihong said.

"The last general, Emperor Xie, Longen." Huang Degong's injury was not light, and after the imperial doctor came, Zhu Cihong ordered someone to help Huang Degong down to treat his injuries.

This time, Zhu Cihong personally recruited most of the imperial doctors, and at the same time recruited dozens of doctors who could treat external injuries in Nanjing City and surrounding counties to form a medical team to help the injured soldiers treat their injuries.

Anqing has more than 200,000 troops brought by Zhu Cihong to defend it, and the defense is as stable as Mount Tai at once, although Zuo Liangyu has many soldiers, but he will want to attack Anqing for a while and a half, and it is still difficult to climb to the sky, and Anqing is about to enter a more tragic attack and defense.

After Zuo Liangyu knew that Zhu Cihong was in Anqing City, in order to break through Anqing and capture Zhu Cihong alive, he did not hesitate to pay nearly 100,000 dead and wounded in just three days, and Anqing City was full of corpses.

On the city wall of Anqing, 3,000 soldiers of the Yinglong Army were divided into five teams, and they were mixed in the city defenders on the city wall to assist in defending the city.

"Spread out, spread out, let go of this section of the wall and let the rebels come up." A general manager of the Ying Long army led three hundred Ying Long troops to a city wall at the eastern end, allowing the defenders to get out of the way for a distance of about ten meters.

This scene was not the first time that it had been staged in the past three days, and the soldiers guarding the city of the city wall of tens of meters were immediately relieved when they heard this order and retreated.

"Kill--"

A Zuo Liangyu soldier suddenly boarded the city wall, and behind him, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers continued to climb the city wall, and in a short period of time, nearly a hundred Zuo Liangyu soldiers boarded this deliberately let go of the city wall.

"Hahahaha, it's attacked, kill it---" The nearly 100 Zuo Liangyu soldiers laughed excitedly, and killed together in the direction of the city gate, however, before they could walk a few steps, they saw a group of Yinglong soldiers in strange clothes and holding muskets blocking there, hundreds of black muskets pointed at them, and suddenly these Zuo Liangyu soldiers turned pale with fright.

The costumes worn by Ying Longjun are different from ordinary Ming soldiers, they wear light leather armor, only a heart guard on their chest, and a cyan dragon embroidered on the cuffs, which is the symbol of Ying Longjun.

"Hey, hey!" Looking at the hundred Zuo Liangyu soldiers in front of him, Mr. Ying Longjun smiled and laughed terrifyingly.

Hundreds of Zuo Liangyu were so frightened that they were all scared, desperately trying to retreat, but there were soldiers constantly climbing up from the ladder behind them, not knowing the situation, and constantly squeezing forward.

"First team, shoot!"

"Bang bang---" The first round of gunshots rang out, and the more than 20 Zuo Liangyu soldiers in the front were all beaten into plugs, which was unbearable, some people were directly hit on the face, flesh and blood flew sideways, the whole face was rotten, blood flowed in pools, the undead Zuo Liangyu soldiers fell to the ground and screamed, and the other Zuo Liangyu soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned white.

Some of the soldiers of the Ying Long Army were also so frightened by this bloody scene that they almost couldn't hold their guns steadily, and some even bent down and spit out.

These soldiers of the Ying Long Army are all newly recruited recruits, although they have been trained, but it is the first time to go to the battlefield to kill people, and the psychological barrier has not yet been broken, and it is inevitable that they will be frightened when they see such a bloody scene.

This is also the reason why Zhu Cihong did not immediately lead the army out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Zuo Liangyu, but defended the city first, that is, to let the Yinglong army, which had not killed anyone, go through some training first, and 3,000 people took turns to defend the city every day and experience a bloody baptism, only in this way can they really become the soldiers of the Yinglong army in Zhu Cihong's mind, and then Zhu Cihong will order the army to go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with Zuo Liangyu's army, and defeat Zuo Liangyu's army in one fell swoop.

"A bunch of cowardly cowards!" The thousand generals of the Ying Long Army, several hundred generals and the flag general are all veterans of the Ying Long Army in the past, and they have experienced such a scene I don't know how many times, and when they saw their subordinates like this, they suddenly said sarcastically.

Some of these soldiers of the Yinglong Army who killed people for the first time immediately gritted their teeth and turned their expressions back, not wanting to be ridiculed again.

After a round of fright, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers saw that the Ying Long Army on the opposite side had not moved, and many Ying Long soldiers were still stunned there, and immediately someone shouted in surprise: "Brothers, the musket in their hands has been spared for a round, don't be afraid, kill!" ”

Ying Longjun's Qian Zong sneered.

"Second column, fire! Assault forward! Although many of the soldiers of the Ying Long Army had not yet recovered from the bloody scene just now, their solid training still made them subconsciously obey orders. The second column of soldiers rushed forward in an instant, and opened fire!

Bang bang bang!!

The twenty or so Zuo Liangyu soldiers at the front were beaten into stoppers again.

After several rounds of adaptation, the soldiers of Yinglong Army finally overcame the psychological barrier and continued to move forward as usual.

The three hundred Ying Long troops were armed with flintlock pistols, and with the support of paper shell bullets, the loading speed was very fast, and the three rows of soldiers continued to load the ammunition one after another, rushed forward, and fired! kept repeating, and soon all the dozens of Zuo Liangyu soldiers on the city wall were cleared!

"Muskets again!" Zuo Liangyu looked at the white eyes that kept rising on the city wall, and the soldiers who were constantly being knocked down, and gritted his teeth.

"Marshal, the firearms of the Anqing defenders are too powerful, and the army has suffered heavy casualties, so it's not a way to go on like this." Liu Xian's brown face was ugly, and he came to report to Zuo Liangyu.

"Withdraw all our soldiers and let the strong men go." Zuo Liangyu said ruthlessly. Since the collective rebellion of thousands of strong men under Jiujiang City, Zuo Liangyu has not used those strong men to attack the city, but now that the emperor is in Anqing, he can't wantonly consume his army, anyway, the more than 200,000 strong men are a waste of food, it is better to drive them to use them as cannon fodder to consume the ammunition and physical strength of the Anqing defenders, and at the worst, you can fill the Anqing city wall with corpses, he doesn't believe it, he still has nearly 700,000 troops left, and he doesn't believe that he can't take Anqing to capture the emperor alive.

At the beginning of Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, 630,000 troops, plus 370,000 strong men, a total of 1 million horses, and now there are 440,000 troops and 230,000 strong men left, plus Gao Jie's remaining more than 10,000 Shaanxi troops, a total of 680,000 horses, nearly three times the defenders of Anqing, this is also Zuo Liangyu's confidence, even if most of these horses are killed and wounded, as long as he can break through Anqing and capture the emperor, then he is the winner!

The dragon flag of Anqing City is fluttering, after three days of rotation, there have been nearly 10,000 Ying Long Army after the baptism of blood, as long as the Ying Long Army has all the training, it is the moment when Zhu Cihong and Zuo Liangyu will decide the victory or defeat in a battle.
