"Ascend to the city...... Ascending to the city...... Bolo put down the clairing mirror in his hand and ordered loudly to the staff on the side.

With his order, the battle between the top and bottom of Suzhou City entered a white-hot procedure.

Under the castle, chariots unleashed crossbow arrows, rockets, cannonballs, and guns at the castle without stopping. The ranks of the Qing army moved, carrying ladders and running under the walls of the city.

The Ming army above the city certainly discovered this problem. The Qing soldiers were also entertained with a dense barrage of cannonballs, crossbow arrows, and firebolts.

The Qing soldiers running under the city were knocked to the ground one by one, and the ladder in their hands was blown into pieces by artillery fire and flew into the air. The soldiers of the Ming army who regained their courage above the city and fought desperately were also killed by the "flowering bullets", but at this moment they are no longer headless flies, because they already have a brave commander, even if they die in battle with such an officer, it is better than being slaughtered in vain.

Just after issuing the order to siege the city, a general suddenly came to report a news that all the officers in the commander's tent of the Qing army were stunned.

"General, the big thing is not good, the chariot of the 'Shengwu Army' has appeared behind the flank of our army!"

"Ahh

The three words "Shengwu Army" in my heart have slowly become as annoying as the "Shenzhou Army". Although these three words are not as terrible as the "Shenzhou Army", in Bolo's heart, they are no longer the incompetent Ming Army, they are the "Victorious Army", and they can already be regarded as a strong force.

He stepped out of the tent where his heartbeat could be heard, and looked up at the walls. Cannonballs rained down on them, and the green planks that had once formed the spire had collapsed in the flames. There was little resistance above the city, but it was ...... at this time.

As soon as he thought of this time, Bolo felt a little painful, and saw that Suzhou City was in front of him. It was a ruined city, almost devoid of resistance, but .......

At this moment, the figure of Tan Ma ran not far away, he ran quickly and "angry", and his mouth was even more loud: "Report to the general...... Report to the general...... Big ......"

Bolo looked at him, listened to his hurried words, and felt as if something misfortune had come to him. I only felt that my brain was dizzy for a while, and the world in front of him seemed to be spinning with him, and the city of Suzhou opposite and even the entire land of China were like a thick and unfathomable wall pressing down on him, wanting to squeeze him into a dead autumn leaf, floating and falling from under the dead branches and old trees......!

Yes, just when the city defense of Suzhou City began to waver, and just when Bolo was just beginning to be a little complacent in the face of the panic of the old-style Ming army, Wu Shengzhao led his proud "Shengwu Army" to appear behind the Qing army.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, all 2,000 Qing soldiers in Kunshan City had been wiped out. The "Shengwu Army" suffered more than 300 casualties and captured more than 80 chariots.

Wu Shengzhao received news from Li Xingbang and knew that the Qing army had to concentrate the main chariot force to deal with him because of Li Xingbang's attack, and now the main chariot force of the Qing army was about to arrive under the city of Suzhou, and it was estimated that the "Suzhou defense line" in the rear was very likely to be empty in defense.

However, Wu Shengzhao had a difficult matter in his heart, and he had received a signal from Suzhou in the early morning that he had already commanded the army to start moving. Fortunately, Jiangnan is now freezing cold, which is very conducive to vehicle travel.

The average speed of a horse is about 20 kilometers per hour, the average speed of a bicycle is about 15 kilometers per hour, and this kind of chariot, dragged by four chariots, can reach about 15 kilometers per hour. But the 50-kilometer road is still too far! When I arrived, I went in the middle of the afternoon, and I was afraid that Suzhou would have been lost by then.

If it is directly inserted from Kunshan into Suzhou City, it will be closer than 20 miles, but it will completely lose the effect of the surprise attack, how can Wu Shengzhao, who has fought for half his life, not understand the current situation.

Originally, the Qing army was found and annihilated by the enemy near Kunshan, which Bolo must have expected. Now he only needs to go around Yangcheng Lake, which is about less than a hundred miles away, and he will appear behind the enemy, which is in line with the speculation of the "Military Advisory Group" of the Shenzhou Army after the "Suzhou Defense Line" was broken.

Along the way, Wu Shengzhao kept begging for Shangcang Suzhou City not to be broken. At that time, it is convenient for the city to gather and destroy Bolo's heavy troops. Therefore, while urging the cavalry to move quickly, he hid thirty miles away from the enemy to rest and wait.

The chariot will stick to the lake and advance in a straight line as much as possible, and reach the place where the cavalry is standby, that is, to change with it, so as to ensure that the soldiers of the chariot unit have enough energy and can act as a sharp armored spearhead to tear the enemy chariot from behind, so that the opponent is attacked by the head of Suzhou City and the armored troops from the flank and rear, and collapse, then the victory of the Lu Jianguo Department has become inevitable.

Despite Wu Shengzhao's urging, when the whole army arrived behind enemy lines, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, the cavalry arrived earlier. The 30,000 cavalry had already eaten at the moment and rested for a while to regain their strength. Now they took over the chariots that came from behind and prepared to launch a strong attack on the enemy's flank.

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon of January 22, 1648 in the Shenzhou calendar, the sky in the south of the Yangtze River in winter had already appeared a misty dark color. Only the city of Suzhou is still standing in the midst of the cannon fire, where the huge pillar of smoke soars high into the sky, like a monument to the world, as for what the edict is, I bet some shameless people will not understand.

About fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from Suzhou City is the "Suzhou Defense Line" that the Qing soldiers broke through early this morning, and the corpses and fires have been cleaned up for the prisoners of the Ming army, and now this is a huge prisoner camp.

The soldiers of the Ming army, who had been tired all day, huddled together, shivering in the cold wind one by one.

One by one, they stared blankly into the distance, or lowered their heads and didn't look at anyone, not knowing what they were thinking. If I told them now, I think most of you would know how to choose if you were given a chance to defend your dignity, after all, the last loud bang on the defensive line was too strong for them.

Thousands of Qing soldiers divided them into small groups, and piles of fires used to ward off the cold separated them. Qing soldiers patrolled back and forth outside a small group of people with "guns and crossbows" in their hands. Originally, these captives were going to be taken back to Wuxi, but it was obvious that the general Bolo did not have his mind free to think about these things, or he had not thought of how to deal with these Ming prisoners, so no one paid attention to them.

At this moment, the shadow of a vehicle appeared in the distance, and no one paid attention to it, and the chariots were slowly moving towards here!
