"Regent, I ask for orders to bring 30,000 Han Banner troops to block the reinforcements of the Ming army!" Toryue bowed to Dolgon.

Although the Ming army has more than 100,000 reinforcements, the battlefield is in the city of Xuzhou, as long as the Qing army holds the four gates of Xuzhou, the Ming army reinforcements want to enter, only to attack, so there is not much need for men.

"Exactly! But 30,000 is too little, you bring 50,000 Han Banner troops over, be sure to guard the four gates! Dorgon said.

"Wow!" Tuo Yue received the order and immediately rushed to the four gates with 50,000 Han banner troops.

"Herald! Seal the four doors immediately! Along the way, Tuoyue gave an urgent order.

In order to prevent the enemy from breaking open the city gate, the four gates of Xuzhou were originally prepared with a large number of stones to seal the city gate, as long as the city gate was sealed by a large number of stones, even if it was used **, it could only be attacked from the city wall!

Several fast horses galloped to the four gates to convey Tuoyue's orders!

It will take at least half an hour to seal the four gates, because it is not known which gate the Ming army will attack from, so Tuoyue's 50,000 horses are divided into four divisions and go to the four gates.

Although the Red Lady's army had suffered some casualties after the battle just now, it still had 110,000 people in the same way as the remaining men and horses after Chang Shun.

"General Chang, which gate do you think we should enter Xuzhou from!" When there were still two miles away from Xuzhou, the red lady asked Chang Shunhou.

Xuzhou is the first strong city of Jianghuai, the ancient strategic battleground, the city is high and the river is deep, the red lady only realized at this time that the emperor was surrounded in the center of Xuzhou City, if they want to rescue the emperor, they must lead the army into Xuzhou, this is a big problem.

"From the West Gate, the iron cable of the West Gate Moat Suspension Bridge has long been destroyed, and the city gate is also slightly damaged, it is best to attack from there!" Chang Shunhou wiped the rain on his face and said without hesitation.

A few days ago, the Qing army entered Xuzhou from the west gate, the west gate had a fierce battle, the city gate was somewhat damaged, better than the other three gates.

"Good! Then we will enter the city through the west gate! The red lady raised her eyebrows, revealing a heroic posture unique to a female general.

Chang Shunhou's heart couldn't control the slight acceleration of beating, and the old face was slightly reddened like a strange, in order to hide this embarrassment, Chang Shunhou had to quietly divert his eyes, and muttered in his heart: Grandma's, such a moving woman turned out to be a female general, I heard that the record is not expensive, it is really rare in the world, and the people's hearts are not ancient!

Immediately, the 110,000-strong army turned slightly and quickly killed towards the west gate of Xuzhou.

Two miles away, in the blink of an eye!

Sure enough, the iron cable used to pull up the suspension bridge on the tower of the West Gate is gone, and the suspension bridge of the moat is connecting the outside of the city, but the city gate is tightly closed!

"Hongxiu, didn't you bring gunpowder!" The red lady asked a female soldier beside her.

"Hui Hongshuai, I brought it, it was all wrapped in oiled paper, and not a drop of rain seeped into it." This female soldier named Hongxiu is one of the right and left hands of the Red Lady, and her name is still given by the Red Lady.

"Good! At this time, the Qing army must not have had time to seal the city gate, you immediately send a team of people to blow the city gate open! The red lady's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness.

Xuzhou is a big city, before coming to the rescue, the red lady has made some preparations, Henan has been ravaged by the rogue for many years, this half a year the red lady has only collected a dozen boxes of gunpowder, is her secret killer, ready to be used in Xuzhou.

"Rush!" At the sound of an order, hundreds of soldiers carrying more than a dozen boxes rushed towards the west gate.

"What does the Ming army want to do?" Tuo Yue frowned, his eyes staring at the dozen or so boxes carried by the soldiers of the Red Women's Army.

"It's not gunpowder!" Tuo Yue suddenly thought of something, and his eyes immediately widened.

"Stop them!" Tuo Yue yelled, he had just arrived at the West Gate, and he had just begun to block the city gate, and he wanted to completely seal the city gate, at least for nearly half an hour, if he was blown up by the Red Lady army with so much gunpowder, the city gate would be destroyed, and at that time, he only had 20,000 Han Banner troops at the West Gate, and there was no trace of how much of the Red Lady army could be blocked.

On the city wall, the Qing army shot arrows to stop, but the sky was raining, and the arrows and crossbows were seeping water, and the accuracy and power were much weaker than usual, and they could not pose a big threat to the Red Women's Army.

"Rolling logs!" Seeing that hundreds of Red Women's Army soldiers were about to step on the suspension bridge, Tuo Yue shouted anxiously.

"Bang! Bang "More than a dozen pieces of rolling wood were thrown down at the same time.

"Ahh Boom! "Several Red Women's Army soldiers were hit and fell off the moat.

"Xiu Xiu Xiu" The Qing army's arrow rain and rolling logs hit together.

Soldiers of the Red Women's Army are constantly being hit and falling into the moat!

After losing dozens of men and several boxes of gunpowder, the rest of the men finally rushed across the drawbridge with the last ten boxes of gunpowder and killed them at the city gate.

Behind, although the red lady was expressionless, she secretly clenched one fist, very nervous, praying that the city gate must be blown open.

It was already evening, and it was getting dark again, and it had been raining for a day and a night since it had fallen yesterday evening.

A soldier quickly pulled out a ball of oiled paper from under his raincoat, and when he opened it, there was a fire fold wrapped in it, but fortunately, the rain was not heavy enough to quickly extinguish the fire fold.

"No!" Tuo Yue's eyes were cracked, and he personally bent his bow and arrows to shoot the Red Lady Army soldier who was holding the fire fold, but unfortunately it was too late.

There was a loud "boom" that shook the sky, and a huge fire almost enveloped the entire city tower.

The huge impact not only destroyed the city gate, but even more than a dozen Qing soldiers who were constantly moving stones to block the city gate in the city were swept away nearly ten meters.

"Kill!" With a wave of the red lady's hand, the 110,000 army entered Xuzhou!

Tuo Yue was originally knocked to the ground by the impact of the gunpowder explosion, and his head was booming, but when he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the Red Women's Army, he immediately came to his senses and got up from the ground.

"Stop the Ming army!" Tuo Yue's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed down the city wall with an army of 20,000 to fight the Red Lady Army who entered the city.

Tuo Yue was very angry, just now he swore to the regent that he would be able to block the Ming army reinforcements that came, but he didn't expect that in less than a short time of incense, the city gate was blown up, not to mention that Tuo Yue couldn't think of it, and Dolgon couldn't think of it.

You know, Xuzhou is a famous fortified city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, think that when the Qing army of 600,000 troops arrived in Xuzhou, it took Dolgon to make careful calculations before finally attacking Xuzhou, but the Red Lady Army is almost a face, although the luck component accounts for most of it, but it is also the reason for Tuoyue's incompetence, after all, Tuoyue is the banner owner of one of the eight banners, and has always been based on cavalry warfare, this is the first time he defended the city, many aspects can't think of it, Dolgon is also anxious and didn't think much, he sent Tuoyue to defend the city He miscalculated!

All in all, the Red Women's Army has entered Xuzhou, and Tuo Yue took the remaining Han Banner Army soldiers to the low grade, and also sent someone to inform Dolgon to prepare early.
