"Fight!"

Batuli shouted as he brandished his sword.

The Qing army immediately flocked to this fatal gap in the city wall, and although the wall did not really blow open, the collapsed bricks and rammed earth formed a ramp to the city wall.

That's enough.

Tens of thousands of rebels outside the city swarmed forward.

On the artillery position next to them, all the cannons sprayed flames at the same time, and the captured Qing artillery of four and a half catties and three catties and even those pushed by the rebels all joined the firing ranks, and hundreds of cannons bombarded both sides of the ramp. The Ming infantry listed two formations on the left and right, attacking the city wall with bird guns and free fire, and snipers specifically shot the remaining gunners on the city wall.

They are only responsible for covering.

The heavy infantry of the surrendered Qing army was in front as the main attacker, with heavy armor and long knives.

The main force of Xie Qian's rebel army held a shield behind.

More than 5,000 forwards braved arrows and bullets flying from the city walls, waded through the waist-deep Xiaonu River and rushed straight to the ramp, and soon the heavy infantry of the surrendered army, mainly the Korean and Han armies of the Eight Banners, began to rush hard.

"Rush down and these dogs to pieces!"

Batuli shouted.

At this time, more rebels began to wade across the Xiaonu River and put ladders on the city wall, covering shields to climb upwards to contain the Qing army and weaken the resistance of the advance on the ramp. A Qing death squad, also heavily armored with long knives, stepped onto the ramp and rushed down from top to bottom to counterattack, but then the arquebuses of the Ming infantry were aimed at them. Just as they were being knocked down by bullets and rolling down, the forwards of the back attack continued to rush upwards one after another, braving arrows, bullets, and even grenades of stones and black powder falling from their heads.

There is no other option here than a desperate bloody battle.

It's the same with the Ming army.

Such an attack can only be piled up with human lives.

So to use those who surrendered, anyway, they did this in the Qing army, and they all got promises, as long as they rushed to the city wall, they would be sent back to the south to be resettled in Huangzhuang, and the wounded were treated the same as the Ming soldiers, and the dead were rescued by the Jinyi Guards......

Of course, this is just a promise.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Sun Yanling shouted anxiously with a torch.

Beside him, several Qing soldiers were carrying a huge 10,000-strong enemy, bowing down among the bullets and shells flying overhead.

At the same time, several heavily armored Eight Banners Korean soldiers leaned out from the front, a layer of cloth armor and a layer of armor and even an additional three layers of protection of a cuirass, and each of them fought hard to slash and kill the Qing army who blocked the attack. Looking at them, Sun Yanling lit the fuse without hesitation, and the few Qing soldiers carried 10,000 enemies forward and were about to throw, but at this time, the gunshots suddenly rang out behind them, and several Qing soldiers fell almost at the same time.

Sun Yanling turned her head in astonishment.

"Brother Rufu, what are you doing?"

He exclaimed.

Zhang Tairui, who was behind him, did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the short gun, and a bullet hit Sun Yanling's chest directly, and the latter fell down with a scream, lying directly on top of the ten thousand enemies.

"What to do? Of course, it's to welcome the king, your Sun family was condemned as a traitor, but my Zhang family didn't! ”

Zhang Tairui blew on the muzzle of the gun and said.

Immediately after that, he found the fuse that had burned to the end of Sun Yanling's chest, and he screamed in surprise and hurriedly lay down with the house slave beside him. At the moment when he lay down, the flames in the reserved holes of the 10,000 enemies spewed outward, and Sun Yanling, who was not dead, was immediately ignited, he screamed and got up, and fell out of the city with a body of flames. Also affected were the Qing troops in the fierce battle in front, the flames in their backs caught them off guard, and their bodies immediately burned, and their opponents did not hesitate to cut these guys over.

"Quick, kill Jiannu and welcome the king!"

Just as the flames of the 10,000 enemies weakened, Zhang Tairui roared excitedly.

At this time, the militia had already started.

Even not only the militia group, but even some of the soldiers of the Eight Banners Han Army and North Korea also defected, and the entire city wall was in chaos, and the attacking army took the opportunity to rush to the city wall, and their participation made this battle no longer suspenseful.

"Master, let's break through!"

Bao Yi beside Baduli pleaded.

"Breakout? Where to break through? To Jinan or to Qingzhou? Today, there is only a bloody battle to the end! ”

Batuli shouted.

Indeed, he has nowhere to break through, there are Ming troops all around, no matter where he goes, it is a dead end, not to mention that he may not be able to rush out, since this is the case, he simply fights to the end! Thinking of this, he rushed towards the Ming army very simply, the clothes behind him were tangled, and they looked at each other, it was obvious that they did not have the courage to fight to the end, but now they really had no choice.

"Kill!"

The coat gritted his teeth and shouted.

After saying that, he chased Batuli forward with a knife, and the moment he reached Baduli's back, he stabbed the knife into Baduli's back without hesitation.

Batuli screamed.

Then he turned his head and looked at him in disbelief.

"Master, the slave has been serving you for ten years, so you can help the slave once!"

The wrapper said with a cruel smile.

Then he pulled out the knife, and at the moment when Baduli fell, the knife flashed, and the latter's head fell in the spurting blood, and the wrapper grabbed the braid and lifted it directly to the top of his head and shouted: "Baduli has been ambushed, the Han army and North Korea are all Ming people, anyway, return to the country and kill Jiannu to be rewarded!" ”

……

And at this time two hundred miles away.

Daqing Bridge of Qi River.

This nine-hole stone bridge across the Daqing River, or Guji Water, or the modern Yellow River, has become a key point in determining the fate of the Qing army in Shandong.

Dordor reinforcements arrived.

Duoduo, who had previously garrisoned the Daimyo's Mansion, led 60,000 Qing troops to reinforce Shandong, not that he was too slow to react and only came now, but that it took too much time for him to draw troops from along the Yellow River. Although the Ming armies of Zhengzhou and Huaiqing did not attack, it was still not so easy for Duoduo to gather these 60,000 troops. At this time, the total strength of the Eight Banners in the Guannai was 220,000, including all the miscellaneous cards, 60,000 in Shandong, 100,000 under him, and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, and Dolgon only 60,000 as a reserve to take care of the defense of the Taihang Mountains.

And Duoduo faced the Ming army, a cavalry corps and an infantry corps.

Well, he's actually tripled.

But the triple advantage is not safe, he knows very well the strength of the Ming army on the other side, especially the Ming army behind the reinforcements who can go north at any time, he was rashly led to the Shandong battlefield, and the Ming army will come back to the north with three or five more armies, and the Qing Dynasty will really be over.

He was sure that the Ming army in the south did not move northward in a big way.

"Daqing Bridge."

Zhang Pengyi, commander of the Ninth Army of the Ming Army, said with some dissatisfaction: "This name has to be changed!" ”

"This is the Daqing River Bridge!"

His chief of staff reminded him.

"That has to be changed, even Daqinghe will change it together!"

Zhang Pengyi said.

He was a sailor general in Shanhaiguan, and was later coerced into Wu Sangui's hands, and in Shanhaiguan anyway, originally in history, he himself fled Shanhaiguan with his cronies after Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then followed Tian Yang from Huai'an to eastern Zhejiang. In the end, when defending Quzhou, because his subordinates surrendered to the enemy and let the Qing army enter Quzhou, he died in Quzhou City, but this time he became Yang Qing's confidant because he followed the Guan Ning army.

And at this moment, the west bank of the Daqing River opposite them is the Qing army that is leaving the Qi River.

"Prepare for battle!"

He said, looking behind him.

Behind him there were only two infantry brigades.

The strength of the Ming army was insufficient, and the war happened too hastily, so far only the three armies of the Xuzhou Metropolitan Division and the Dengzhou Metropolitan Division but one army participated in the war, but it was enough for the Qing army in Shandong, but it was not enough to face Duoduo's reinforcements.

They need reinforcements.

But the Ming army is stationed in rotation, the previous garrison in the north, except for the cavalry army, all withdrew to the south to rest, and even many soldiers went home to visit relatives on vacation, and it took time to reassemble reinforcements, after all, this war was not planned, the previous goal of the Ming army was only defense, defense alone was enough, but a large-scale attack was not enough.

Of course, it's not a big deal.

At least Zhang Pengyi felt that with two infantry brigades, plus an infantry brigade and a cavalry brigade under the city of Jinan, it was enough to deal with more than 50,000 Qing troops in two directions.

"There are a lot of cannons in Jiannu!"

said the chief of staff.

There are indeed a lot of artillery cannons of the Qing army, and they are real heavy artillery, not even on the river bank, but directly at the head of the Qi River City, the Qing Bridge is only half a mile away from the Qi River City, and the width of the river beach is not more than five hundred meters from the east bank. Dozens of heavy artillery guns continued to fire on the city wall, and the condescending shells flew over the Daqing River and landed on the east bank splashing patches of sand and gravel, but they certainly couldn't hit the Ming army, because the Ming army was still half a mile away from the river bank, just outside the effective aiming range of these cannons.

Relying on the heavy artillery cover on the city walls, the Qing cavalry first began to cross the bridge.

"Fire!"

Zhang Pengyi said indifferently.

In front of the two infantry phalanxes on the left and right, a cannon spewed flames, and the solid bullets that just formed crossfire frantically killed the Qing cavalry, and the Qing army who were trying to cross the bridge splashed flesh and blood.

The heavy artillery of the Qing army could indeed force the Ming army to stay away from the river bank, but the entire Qing bridge was still within the range of the Ming artillery, and the dead bodies of the first hard-charging Qing cavalry were instantly piled up under the bombardment of 56 cannons of two infantry brigades. However, these were just temptations, and the real forced crossing was the river, and nearly 1,000 Qing infantry carrying rafts and bamboo rafts rushed to the river to avoid the range of Ming firepower, trying to paddle and force the crossing of the not wide Daqing River.

"Cavalry attack!"

Zhang Pengyi said.

The two cavalry battalions that had been on standby for a long time immediately attacked, and soon reached the front of the Qing army, and then dismounted, using the war horses as a cover, raised their arquebuses one after another, and shot the Qing troops on the river like ducks.

Leaky rafts sank one after another.

Then the hapless Qing army had to retreat.

"What is Dordor doing? Didn't he know it was pointless? ”

Zhang Pengyi said with emotion.

This is really meaningless, as long as he is stuck here, the Qing army will no matter what it is nothing more than crossing the river, and the Qing army in Jinan City is also not capable of killing and responding, even if the two Qing armies are added up to fight a decisive battle on the plains with him, they may not be able to eat nearly 20,000 Ming troops, not to mention that they are still cut off on both sides of a big river.

But Dodor certainly wouldn't be so stupid.
