Duoduo mobilized more than 100,000 Qing troops to besiege Yangzhou on all sides, but lacked artillery support.

More than 100,000 people and horses attacked the city, naturally they could not rush up, who pushed the ladder, who covered with bows and arrows, and who climbed, all of them were fixed, but the Qing army could not suppress the artillery on the city, so they could only line up outside the camp and then advance to the city.

The artillery of Yangzhou City was originally used in Xicheng, which was more difficult to defend, but with the recapture of Gaopo, Xicheng became the easiest place to defend.

Wang Yan captured hundreds of artillery pieces of the Qing army, so that the firepower of Xicheng was sufficient, and the artillery originally used to defend Xicheng could be distributed to the other three city walls.

At noon, the Qing army under the city took the matter of a great victory, lined up the formation outside the camp, and then slowly advanced, with swords and guns, and the flag covered the sun, which was quite impressive, but such a dense formation gave the Ming army an opportunity to make meritorious artillery.

"Put!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The colonel of the Ming army in the city, watching the Qing army under the city as dense as rice fields and ears, shouted orders to the soldiers, lit fires and set artillery.

In the rumbling cannon, the artillery of the Ming army in the city fired in unison, and exploded in the Qing army's array, killing dozens of people in an instant.

The dense formation of the Qing army made every cannon of the Ming army able to make contributions, and the casualties made the Qing army slowly panic in the formation.

The Qing generals who led the army saw that the army was still far away from Yangzhou City, so they advanced in formation, and before they rushed to the city, the army would be killed and wounded by thousands of people, and they would scatter with the horses, like thieves, and the ants would attack the city.

The Qing army attacked the city, although the soldiers and horses were the most in the past, but the Ming army in the city was not comparable to the Qing army when it first besieged Yangzhou.

After two months of siege, there were countless casualties among the young men in Yangzhou, and those who survived became veterans of the battlefield and were the elite who were baptized by the fire.

In the rumbling cannons, the military academy on the city wall ran back and forth, and the soldiers defending the city also seemed to be orderly, throwing the rain of arrows in their hands off the city wall, and the bird commanders shot out bursts of bullets in rows, looking calm and skillful, and battle-hardened.

Duoduo angrily ordered the Qing army to attack the city, although the Qing army was numerous, but the preparation was insufficient, the Qing army that was originally only responsible for the feint attack on the east, south and north did not have many siege equipment, and the Ming army was fierce, although the momentum was huge, but there was no result, and the Qing soldiers rarely even climbed the city wall.

To the west of the city, where Duoduo personally supervised the battle, there was no achievement, even worse than the other three gates.

The artillery of the Ming army on the high slope and the artillery on the city of Yangzhou were intertwined and echoed, and the shells were fired into the Qing army's formation.

On the high slope, hundreds of artillery pieces have forced the Yangzhou defenders to pay countless casualties in the west city, even if the city wall collapsed, they did not dare to repair it on the ruins, but were forced to build another pocket-shaped female wall in the collapsed place.

Now that these artillery pieces have fallen into the hands of the Ming army, they immediately made Bai Yongfu's troops miserable.

The time for Bai Yongfu to surrender to the Qing court was still short, and soon after he brought troops to Yangzhou, Duoduo carried out the plan of throwing corpses and attacking Yangzhou with epidemics, so he did not fight with the Yangzhou defenders several times, and he did not know the depth.

Duoduo ordered Bai Yongfu to attack Gaopo, and he also knew that the defenders were difficult to deal with, but he did not expect that it would be so difficult to attack.

Bai Yongfu accepted most of Liu Zeqing's family business, and although he was the rank of chief soldier, he had 30,000 soldiers under him.

In order to curry favor with Duoduo, Bai Yongfu selected the most elite 10,000 guards to fight, but before he could arrange his formation, he was fired by a salvo of 100 cannons, killing hundreds of people, and the army almost dispersed.

Bai Yongfu slashed and killed several panicked soldiers, barely stabilized the army, and killed towards the high slope, but under the artillery fire of the Ming army and the bombardment of the bird system, he could not climb the high slope at all.

Firearms are not good in field warfare, but defending cities and villages are sharp weapons.

Bai Yongfu's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the green battalion under his command was shocked by the heavy artillery fire, so they began to work without effort and no longer tried their best to attack the village.

At this time, Duoduo, who was supposed to supervise the battle behind the Green Battalion, had already retreated to the battle five miles away from the city.

Almost all the artillery of the Qing army fell into the hands of Wang Yan, especially the ten thousand-pound heavy guns, which could fight for several miles, and became Duoduo's henchmen.

"Master Qiqi, Li Chengdong's department has suffered heavy losses and retreated!" The Qing army who stood in the nest car and watched the battle at the west gate saw the Qing soldiers besieging the city fleeing from the city with flags and guns, and immediately reported loudly to Duoduo.

Duoduo rode on his horse, and when he heard this, he ordered the guards to take a clairvoyant mirror to look at it, and when he saw that the large number of green battalions were not in good clothes, and they retreated without raising their flags, their faces suddenly turned cold.

"Master!" The Qing soldiers on the nest car reported again: "Bai Yongfu's troops have also been defeated!" ”

There is no need to observe the Qing soldiers, Duoduo has seen the Qing soldiers, and they are retreating all over the mountains.

He once said that if he didn't break Yangzhou, he asked the generals of the green battalion to come to see him, but the law did not blame the people, but it was impossible to really kill them.

At this time, as time passed, the anger in Duoduo's heart had been replaced by reason, and he also knew that without artillery, it would be difficult for Yangzhou to attack.

Sure enough, after Li Chengdong and Bai Yongfu were defeated and retreated, a sergeant came to report, and the Qing troops on the other three sides also retreated from the city.

At this time, Duoduo saw that it was getting late, and that the attackers would increase casualties and affect morale, so he ordered the army to withdraw and return to the camp.

In the tent, Duoduo once again convened the generals to discuss the matter.

He sat behind the handsome case with a cold face, and the generals suffered defeat, and they didn't dare to speak, so they all bowed their heads and stood aside.

"Today's siege, how many casualties there were, can you ever count it." Dodor broke the silence in the tent and asked.

"Lord Qiqi! A total of 5,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 wounded in each battalion! Li Shutai helped Counselor Duoduo with military affairs, so he replied.

When Duoduo heard this number, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said very angrily: "Wang Yan's husband has said that if this king wants to break Yangzhou, he must exchange the lives of 200,000 Qing warriors. This king only thinks that he is not ashamed, but today's battle will lose 5,000 people, you are so full of all your strength, how many 5,000 can this king fold under the city of Yangzhou? ”

"The prince is angry!" In the face of Duoduo's anger, Bai Yongfu hurriedly knelt down and defended himself: "It's not that the minions and others don't do their best, it's that the Ming army has powerful firearms, and the minions' men and horses have suffered heavy casualties and demoralization before they have even engaged in battle. ”

"Yes! Rajah! There was no artillery, and the minions were completely pressed and beaten by the Ming army. ”

"Lord Wang! The minions were almost hit by artillery and could no longer serve the Qing Dynasty. ”

A group of green camp generals echoed one after another.

They surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in order to keep their glory and wealth, and no one wanted to fight this kind of life-threatening battle.

Seeing the reaction of the generals, Duoduo knew that it was useless to blame, and said: "Today's battle, this king will not mention it for the time being, but how to break Yangzhou, there is still a countermeasure." ”

"Lord Qiqi!" Bai Yongfu seized the opportunity to speak: "The slave thinks that Yangzhou is already a cyst of the Holy Dynasty, so there is no need to attack, just need to be trapped to death." At that time, the emperor surrounded the Daling River, and the ancestor had a great birthday, and the prince only needed to wait for Yangzhou to run out of food, and he could get Yangzhou without spending troops and horses. ”

"Your words, this king also knows, but the court is urging very urgently, what can I do about it?" Duoduo said helplessly.

Just as Duoduo was discussing with the generals, the Green Camp Fu who was guarding the East Camp suddenly came outside the tent and said, "Lord Wang! The slave is strong and has something to report! ”

When Dordor heard this, he asked the guards to bring him into the tent, and then asked, "What is your business, come quickly!" ”

Yang Shouzhuang knelt on the ground, presented a silk silk with both hands and said: "Lord Wang, the slave was ordered to clean up the battlefield under the city, and suddenly saw a hundred catties of rice thrown out of Yangzhou City, a hundred pieces of flour, a chicken and a duck, and this silk silk was outside the city." The minions picked it up and immediately came to report it. ”

When Duoduo heard this, his face couldn't help but change for a while, and when the guards presented the silk silk, he slowly unfolded it, only to see a line of big characters written on it - "Stupid Duoduo, you can attack again, see that Ben will defend for another ten years!" ”
