The bloody battle of the "Suzhou Defense Line" came to an end, and all the soldiers of the Qing army, except for more than 30,000 prisoners, were killed, especially the explosion of the last fort, which made all the officers and men of the Qing army, including Bolo, frightened and chilled. If the Ming army has been fighting like this since then, the Central Plains will not have to occupy the flower world, and it is the best strategy to retreat to the hometown in the far north.

It is also strange to say, Suzhou is only dozens of miles away from here, under such a dense artillery fire, can Wu Shengzhao, the commander of the "Shengwu Army", watch his brother fight bloodily and not save him?

The Qing army was only 500 chariots behind the "Suzhou Defense Line", how could it withstand the charge of more than 2,000 chariots of the "Shengwu Army", not to mention that their officers had been trained by the Shenzhou Army. But why can't this rescuer be able to help?

To say that Wu Shengzhao did not save him when he saw death, it was too wrong. Since he received the news, he has begun to partially mobilize the army, and finally in the middle of the words and swords above the court, he has obtained the transfer authority of the army, and plans to lead the army to the "Suzhou Defense Line" to stop the defense line and fight to the death with the Qing army.

At this time, however, worse news reached the camp of the Shengwu army outside Suzhou.

"Shizhong, Xingbang, you see, our whole army is between Suzhou and Hangzhou. Now the 'Suzhou Defense Line' is in an emergency, according to the news from above, it has been retreated to the last line of defense, and now you two will lead a team of 5,000 chariots and 10,000 horses to rescue the ...... immediately."

"Waiting for the master...... Hou Ye ...... "The herald ran in. As soon as he came in, he knelt down on one knee, and said loudly in front of Zhang Mingzhen and Hou Fangyu who were sitting: "My lord, the big thing is not good, the 'Suzhou Defense Line' is lost, General Wu led his subordinates to be broken jade rather than complete tiles, only afraid, only afraid of ......!" ”

Wu Shengzhao, who was assigning the task, hurriedly came to the herald, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up and shouted: "I'm afraid of what, I'm afraid of how!" ”

"I'm afraid that General Wu has been martyred!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the tent all burst into tears. This should not have happened at all! But who doesn't know what to do in their hearts, it's all those guys above the court! It was not that they misunderstood, how the "Suzhou Defense Line" could easily break through for the Qing army.

Wu Shengzhao's two arms softened as if they had been beaten with sticks, and he let go of the herald. His two subordinates, their faces changed, their hands clapped on their legs together, and their mouths made resentful voices: "Hey! ”

"Pass my general's order, the whole army has ......"

"Think twice!" Hou Fangyu shouted on the side, now because of Wu Shengzhao's anger, if he changes the enemy who has been decided to destroy Suzhou first, I am afraid that he will really suffer from the enemy.

"Master Wait!" Zhang Mingzhen snorted softly at Fang Yu, signaling with his eyes that he didn't need to panic.

Regarding Hou Fangyu's shout, Wu Shengzhao seemed to be deaf to it, and still issued an order with a cold expression.

"The whole army is there, go with me to the direction of Kunshan to meet the enemy, Shizhong led the cavalry to meet the enemy first, do not panic, if it is the infantry can be quickly encircled and annihilated, if it is a chariot, then avoid the enemy's edge, and at the same time quickly inform me, I and Master Hou led the main force to respond. Xingbang, you lead a thousand chariots to the north, and if you encounter the enemy, you will stop, and then move to defend, entangle the enemy and wait for our army to return and then fight the enemy. ”

Waiting for the generals to take the order, Wu Shengzhao said: "Hou Ye, the current situation is critical, and I am trembling and begging each other." Please sit in Suzhou City, and expect that the defenders in the city will inevitably be chaotic for the Qing army to attack, and the time will be ....... ”

The "Shengwu Army" had a total of 50,000 horses, of which 30,000 were light cavalry, and the remaining 20,000 were all vehicle-driven, so they moved very quickly. As soon as the order was given, the army, which was already waiting for the rest of the day, immediately went out.

As dawn approached, a thousand chariots headed in the direction of Kunshan with their headlights on. Fighting the enemy on the flanks first was the result of the research of Hou Fangyu and the other staff officers of the "Shengwu Army" when Wu Shengzhao and the others went to ask for command.

After all, there were still tens of thousands of Ming troops in the "Suzhou Defense Line", and they relied on the fortress, so they should be able to hold until reinforcements arrived, and even if the enemy artillery had to cross the river, it would not be so easy.

As for the enemy who landed on the river in Kunshan, according to the analysis, there should be no artillery, so it will be quite difficult for them to deal with the "Shengwu Army", and they are equipped with chariots equipped with tiger squat cannons, which is also the idea of those military advisory groups of the Shenzhou Army. The number of such tanks in the "Shengwu Army" reached one-tenth, that is, more than three hundred.

The speed of the cavalry was much faster than that of the chariots, and Kunshan was only a hundred and ten miles from Suzhou. At about six o'clock in the morning, Zhao Shizhong's cavalry had already encountered the outpost of the Qing army near the county seat of Songman. Without fighting, Zhao Shizhong retreated slightly according to Wu Shengzhao's order, and waited for the arrival of his chariot according to the river.

The Qing army here in Kunshan only had 200 chariots arriving by boat, and they would not act until Boluo launched the Battle of Suzhou, and together with the Qing army going south, they would flank Suzhou. However, as soon as they landed, they were discovered by the Ming troops guarding the shore, and a fierce battle ensued.

In desperation, the Qing generals had no choice but to lead the army to fight with the Ming army, but fortunately they encountered all the local troops of the Ming army, and the combat and defense efficiency was low, and they were all broken up by two hundred chariots.

Subsequently, in order not to be surrounded and annihilated by the Wusheng army, the generals of the Qing army had to attack the county seat of Kunshan. The chariot covered the attack near the city gate, and finally set fire to the city gate, and then they occupied Kunshan, and the Kunshan officers and soldiers who escaped by luck reported to Suzhou.

About an hour later, at about seven o'clock in the morning, Wu Shengzhao led the main force of the "Shengwu Army" to the city of Kunshan. The 2,000 soldiers were divided into four routes, and quickly surrounded a small Kunshan County like an iron bucket.

"Siege!"

Wu Shengzhao gave an order, and five hundred chariots each outside the four city gates lined up to attack and swarmed up. Two hundred "tiger squat cannons" kept shelling the head of the city and near the city gate. One by one, the armor-piercing bullets quickly smashed the Qing army's car formation surrounded by 200 chariots to protect the city gate.

Vehicles approaching the city gate use the "Flying Divine Crossbow" and "Slingshot Grenade Launcher" to suppress the city's head. The Qing army's 2,000 defenders soon abandoned the city walls and retreated into the city.

To say that the Qing army was still not familiar with the rules of engagement of the chariot, once the actual chariot lost its mobility, it would be meaningless. If they use chariots as a vehicle formation, it is actually a very stupid tactic, but they are not "victorious army", they have not received formal training from the Shenzhou army, and they do not understand this tactical principle.

The "Boom ......" exploded four times in a row, and the "Shengwu Army" blew open the city gate with gunpowder, and then a large group of cavalry acting as infantry followed behind the chariot with "spear-type crossbows" and engaged in street battles with the Qing army.
