"Kill!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded at the four gates of Yangzhou, and Wang Yan stood on the tower of the West Gate with a knife, watching the Qing soldiers being picked off the city wall one by one.

Yangzhou is a Xiongcheng, the land of Jiangbei anointment, countless businessmen and wealthy people live in the city, there is a lot of money, naturally Yangzhou is built high and big, the Qing soldiers hurriedly attack the city, it is difficult to take.

Wang Yan watched the Qing army landing the city again and again and was resolved by the Ming army, and his heart was suddenly relieved, but at this moment, an old soldier from Shandong suddenly came to report, saying that "in the northwest corner of Yangzhou City, there is a section of the city about three zhang long that has collapsed", which made Wang Yan instantly break out in a cold sweat.

Wang Yan's momentary negligence almost made a big mistake, he only knew that the Qing army attacked Yangzhou from Xicheng, but he did not know that there was a city wall collapse, or someone mentioned it to him, but he ignored it.

The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, and Wang Yan almost made Yangzhou fall into disaster again.

At this time, Wang Yan was looking at the Qing army that had ascended the city, and he lost the ease just now, nor did he have the slightest contempt, and even scolded in his heart, "Duoduo is insidious, and he almost fell into the plan." ”

The city of Yangzhou was high and very strong, and the attacking Qing army seemed to be fierce, but in fact it could not form an effective threat, and it was impossible to enter the city at all.

The Qing army feinted on the surface of the four gates, but released surprise soldiers at the place where the city wall collapsed, Wang Yan immediately drew a thousand foot troops, and went straight to the northwest corner of the city wall along the city wall to support Li Taizhen.

After the Qing army broke through the city today, the artillery battalion on the high slope outside the west city did not withdraw, and Li Qifeng's 4,000 soldiers and horses had not yet reached the gap, and the Qing artillery team on the high slope took the lead in firing.

The earthen wall that Li Taizhen and the army had just erected was blown to pieces.

Artillery, a sharp weapon of the Central Plains Dynasty against the northern peoples, was in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with the continuous surrender of the Han army, so that they had a cannon technology that was not inferior to that of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty relied on the advantage of city artillery, but it was gone.

"Array!" The earthen wall was destroyed, and it had lost its defensive role, looking at the Qing army of Li Difeng's army who was about to climb down from the ruins, Li Taizhen's face couldn't help but be cold, and he pulled out his war knife and shouted loudly.

When the five hundred Ming soldiers heard the order, they stood in formation behind the earthen wall, and the people with straight spears stabbed at the Qing army that was about to be killed.

In the shouting of killing, the two armies collided together quickly, swords and guns struck each other, making bursts of sounds, harvesting fresh lives.

It was the Han Chinese who fell on both sides, which was a tragedy for the whole nation.

Li Difeng has many soldiers, Li Taizhen has few soldiers, although the Ming army has the heart to die, but the disparity in strength, coupled with the lack of geographical advantages, slowly became Li Fengfeng's Qing soldiers rushed away, divided and surrounded.

At this time, Li Qifeng was already surrounded by Qing soldiers, standing on the collapsed ruins, he looked around the battlefield, his face was full of joy: "Sons, work hard!" Kill all this Ming army, follow the general to the west gate, welcome the prince of Yu into the city, we will inevitably be rewarded, return to Gansu hometown, no problem! ”

The Ming army fell one by one, and Li Qifeng seemed to have left a small number of men and horses to continue the siege, and sent most of the Qing army into the city to attack Xicheng.

Once Li Feng's Qing army entered the city, attacked the West Gate from the back, and attacked Wang Yan from both sides with Duoduo, then Yangzhou City would definitely be broken by the Qing army again.

This made Lee Tae-jin anxious, but there was nothing he could do but fight to the death.

"Kill!"

Just as Li Qifeng wanted to lead the troops and rushed straight to the west gate along the city wall, there was a sudden shouting from the distance that shook the sky.

Just listening to the shouting and killing, Li Qifeng could estimate that at least nearly 10,000 people were killing towards the northwest corner, which made his face change and his heart suddenly chilled.

When Li Taizhen heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, fight to the death with me!" ”

This change made Li Fengfeng's plan to attack the West Gate on both sides with Duoduo frustrated, and he was also very frightened, there were no more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Yangzhou City, where did such a soldier suddenly appear.

It didn't take long for the face of the reinforcements to show in Li Qifeng's eyes and answer his doubts.

I saw a group of people with all kinds of weapons, even wooden sticks and flat poles, shouting to kill the gap, and soon collided with the Qing army.

Li Qifeng was frightened by the reinforcements at first, but when he revealed his true appearance, his heart suddenly relaxed, and even with a hint of contempt, "A group of rabble, could have been able to fight 100,000 to 100,000!" ”

The appearance of the reinforcements is really not good, like a group of farmers who have just picked up arms, and they have no combat power, but as soon as they fought, Li Difeng was shocked.

It is true that this group of people is the common people, but most of them are young and strong people who are begging for a living in Caoyun, bringing together the three religions and nine streams in Yangzhou City, especially the ruffians and outlaws.

These people who live by Cao Yun are divided into dozens of gangs, large and small, in order to compete for Cao Yun, especially since the war in the north, Cao Yun has almost been cut off, so that the various Cao Yun gangs, which are constantly conflicting for interests, fight for the few remaining business and resources.

Although the fights between these gangs can only be regarded as fights, not battles, but they have fought after all, and after all, they are much stronger than the discipline of ordinary people!

At this time, although the newly added reinforcements still could not defeat the Qing soldiers of Li Qifeng's army, they were numerous, but they were enough to drag Li Qifeng and make it impossible for him to complete the attack on Ximen.

Li Fengfeng saw that his men and horses could not repel the rabble in front of him, and the contempt in his heart suddenly turned into anxiety again, and he was about to order the guards around him to join the battle, but suddenly saw a young man dancing two Miao knives, blending into the realm of no one, and was killing him.

The Chinese army pays attention to the coordination of battle formations, pays attention to strict military discipline, orders and prohibitions, and does not call for personal force, but if there is a particularly superb martial arts, it will undoubtedly be easier to stand out.

The young man is in his twenties, but the knife is very proficient, tossing and turning, fast and fast, destroying the knife, the knife turns with the person, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, the killing power is great, there is no one general around, every time the knife is out, can cut down a Qing soldier.

Seeing that he was so powerful, many people deliberately avoided this fierce god, making it easier for him to rush forward. Unconsciously, the young man became the arrow of the reinforcements, approaching Li Fengfeng.

Li Difeng's face couldn't help but change when he saw this, the knife technique made by Qingzhuang seemed to be Qi Jiguang's "Xinyou Knife Technique", and some Shaolin knife techniques were incorporated into it, which can be called a master of martial arts.

If it was just "Xinyou Knife Method", Li Qifeng could still see his routine, but the other party had integrated the Shaolin Knife Method into it with his own understanding, giving birth to many changes, and there was a hidden tendency to open the sect, but it was not Li Fengfeng who could see through it.

At this time, Li Qifeng also had to admit that if he let that young man approach, he would not consider himself an opponent.

At that moment, Li Lifeng hurriedly asked dozens of guards to step forward, hoping to rely on the cooperation of the battle formation to block the other party, but the guards were not the young and strong opponents, and between the hands, I saw that the young and strong knives were deadly, the speed was extremely fast, each knife was accurate and ruthless, and the guards had not yet formed a formation, and he killed several people.

Li Qifeng felt fear at this time, and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but that young man was coming to him, how could he let him retreat. He forced the besieging guards back with a few swords, and as soon as his body jumped, he had already killed in front of Li Fengfeng.

"Killer!" Na Qingqiang shouted, and slashed at Li Difeng's head with a swing of his knife, "Songshan Hu Weizong is also!" ”

Facing the slashed sword, Li Qifeng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but after all, he was a military general, and his kung fu was not bad, so he escaped the fatal blow with a knife, but Hu Weizong's kung fu was even better, and he practiced double knives, one hit missed, and the other knife had already been picked up, and Li Qifeng was immediately scratched on the chest.

A knife was chopped, and a knife rose again, Hu Weizong tossed and turned, and quickly Lingli, just in an instant, he slashed Li Fengfeng four or five times, making it unable to support it and was chopped to the ground.

Seeing this, the Qing army guards on the side couldn't help but be shocked, if the lord will be killed, they will all be executed by military law, and they can't care about Hu Weizong's strength at the moment, and they will save it with a knife, but Hu Weizong's knife method is sharp, extremely fast, and before everyone can get closer, Li Qifeng was slashed through his throat by him, and the blood gushed like a spring, obviously there is no possibility of life.

A group of Qing army guards also changed from saving people to robbing corpses, and hurriedly retreated with Li Difeng, who was already out of breath.

"The chief general of the Qing army has been killed by me!" Hu Weizong did not snatch the corpse, but at the moment of killing Li Qifeng, he shouted loudly: "The Qing army is going to be defeated, kill it with me!" ”

At the west gate, the siege of the Qing army continued, but it was obvious that the work was not effective, and it seemed to be fierce, but there were no casualties.

Duoduo rode his war horse and looked at the Qing soldiers besieging the city, and the expression on his face did not change.

At this time, suddenly a war horse galloped in front of him, and a Qing soldier hurriedly turned over and dismounted, ran to Duoduo and knelt down in front of him, and said quickly: "Qi Qi master, Li Fengfeng died in battle, the army in the northwest corner was killed by the Ming army, and it has been defeated and retreated to the high slope in the west. ”

After listening to the Qing soldier's report, Duoduo's face finally changed slightly, and he looked at the Qing soldier with some surprise, as if he didn't believe his report.

How many soldiers and horses are there in Yangzhou City, Duoduo is clear, he is besieging on all sides, how can there be a large army in Yangzhou City to resist, more than 4,000 Li Fengfeng's elite soldiers who entered the city from the gap?

But facts are facts, and Duoduo now had to let Li Benshen stop the siege and defend the western artillery position, while he retreated to the camp in a huff.

Wang Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the Qing soldiers retreating, but he couldn't rest yet, the Qing soldiers only retreated temporarily, and they would inevitably attack the city again after they were fully prepared, and he needed to take advantage of the time for the Qing army to prepare to reorganize the city defense of Yangzhou, train the young and strong, and clean up tens of thousands of corpses in the city.

In the camp of the Qing army, Duoduo's face was full of anger. As soon as he returned to the camp, the generals of the Zhengbai Banner of Zhenmanzhou, who had been defeated and returned to the camp, and Li Shutai, who had bandaged his wounds, came to report and said: "The Zhenmanzhou that entered the city first lost more than 2,000 people, and the Zhenglan Banner of the Han army that entered the city later also killed more than 1,000 people. ”

The Eight Banners of Manchuria, with only 60,000 soldiers, he lost more than 2,000 people at once, and the white flag can be described as a great injury, how can Duoduo not be angry.

"Who is in the city to defend it? Can you find out? "In his thirties, Duoduo is already in a high position, and since he went south, it has been smooth sailing, and he has not been defeated. didn't think that today he had broken in Yangzhou City for a while, and he had lost so much real Manzhou, and he would inevitably be punished by the Qing court, which immediately made him hate the people guarding Yangzhou.

"The slave only saw the banner of the West Gate, which said that the loyal battalion commanded the king!" A Qing army sentry hurriedly knelt down and said: "Who it is, the slave doesn't know, and I ask the master to forgive me!" ”
