Zhu Youlang successfully used the tactics of besieging the city to send reinforcements, and repelled more than 40,000 reinforcements from Geng Zhongming and Tuntai who came to support.

After the fierce battle, the soldiers were tired, the men and horses were stuck, after a day and a night of rest, the combat strength was restored, and finally they could free up their hands to attack Yiyang City with all their strength, there were only five or six thousand remnants of Meile Zhangjing Zhuoluo and five or six thousand horsemen and horses of the general soldier Jiaolin, even if they added more than 10,000 strong men who temporarily pulled together the guards of the city, the total number was only more than 20,000 people, trapped for more than a month, almost exhausted of ammunition and food, and morale was so low that it was not good.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhuo Luo, Ma Jiaolin and others had a stubborn enough attitude, had no idea of surrendering, and were stubbornly defending the city, they might have been broken by Li Dingguo's ministry a long time ago.

In the main battle between the Qing army and the Ming army, the men and horses in the city behaved very dishonestly, in order to echo the reinforcements, several times out of the city raid, trying to break through the wall, attacking the main force of the Ming army's infantry from behind, were blocked back by Gao Yigong and Hao Shaoqi's 20,000 besieging army, Zhu Youlang had to worry about the Qing army of Geng Zhong and the Ming army in the future, and achieved the final victory.

Now the Qing army reinforcements have retreated in defeat, and there are nearly 70,000 cavalry troops outside Yiyang City, including Jiao Lian, Wu Jisi, Zhang Jiayu, Yuan Zongdi, Li Dingguo, Hao Shaoqi, and Gao Yigong, as well as one or two hundred large and small Hongyi cannons and one or two hundred Buddha cannons.

In addition to the large number of artillery, the Ming army built many earthen ridges to hide from the defenders' bows and stones.

The reason why the Ming army was quite well prepared was because Zhu Youlang, the son of heaven, stipulated a time limit for breaking the city: three days!

The city wall of Yiyang City is eight feet high, the base is seven feet wide, the city surface is one foot and two feet, and the surrounding area is nine hundred and sixty-three feet. Outside the north city gate, build the moon city as a barrier, and build 34 enemy towers on the city, 47 nests, 1,932 pheasant coal, and the defense facilities seem to be a lot, compared with Changsha, Wuchang, Nanchang, Guangzhou, these provincial capitals, even if they are not tall and strong.

To deal with such a middle-class city, more than 100 siege cannons are concentrated under the city, if you can't beat it, it's better to just find a piece of tofu and kill it!

Zhu Youlang ordered that Yiyang must be taken within three days, otherwise all the generals who participated in the siege of the city would be punished!

Since the Son of Heaven has given the order to die, the artillery guards are also puffing up their strength and preparing to show their strength.

And so the real uninterrupted bombardment began.

On the second watch of the night, because of the continuous attack of artillery, all the walls of Yiyang were blown down. Then it rained heavily, which seemed to herald the end of everything.

On the morning of the fifth day of the seventh month, Zhu Youlang still thought that the collapse of Yiyang City was not complete, so he ordered thousands of soldiers to move all the more than 100 cannons to the northeast of the city, specifically attacking the most collapsed place.

The rain was even more urgent that day, and the Ming soldiers set up cowhide tents outside the city to protect the cannons and gunpowder from being wet by the rain, but the city was dead silent at this time.

Because the artillery fire in the city was too fierce, as soon as they saw someone under the city, they immediately hid behind the wall to prevent the cannon from being injured. And often wait for the sound of artillery before daring to climb the tower again to defend.

After seeing this situation, the artillery cadets of the Ming army outside the city deliberately released the cannon, and let only wolf smoke (similar to today's smoke bombs) be released in the cannon, making the smoke outside the city obstructive, and it was impossible to distinguish it.

The Qing soldiers defending the city could only hear the sound of artillery, but they couldn't see the exact situation outside, so they didn't know that the Ming soldiers had actually quietly pulled out the city defense facilities such as antlers, horses, and thistles under the cover of artillery fire, and crossed the moat.

When the Ming soldiers who had climbed the city wall emerged from the smoke and swarmed up to slash the defenders, the Qing soldiers knew that they had been fooled by those Ming dogs, but at this time it was too late.

Soon, Yiyang City's defense system completely collapsed. Yiyang City, which had been strong for a month or two, was finally captured.

On the same day, the Ming army first attacked the head of Yiyang City from the north, opened the north gate, and tens of thousands of imperial troops immediately poured into the city. Although the general trend had turned, generals such as Zhuo Luo and Ma Jiaolin still led the hungry and exhausted Qing soldiers to engage the Ming army in street battles.

Zhu Youlang was furious after receiving the report, and ordered that except for the people and Zhuang, all the surrenders of the Qing soldiers would not be accepted, regardless of whether they resisted or not, and all of them would be killed!

Ma Jiaolin, whose ancestral home is Guyuan, Gansu, belonged to Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, so he is also a native of Shaanxi. Because he is a Hui and believes in *** religion, he is nicknamed Ma Huizi

Ma Jiaolin's ancestors were nobles of the Ming Dynasty, a family of military generals, who fought with the peasant army in his early years, and later attached himself to Zuo Liangyu, and after Zuo Liangyu's death, he turned to He Tengjiao. His subordinates are all children of Xiliang, fierce and fierce Hui cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

In real history, after Ma Jiaolin surrendered to the Qing army in Yuezhou, he has been charging for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, making many military exploits, and was regarded as the first strong enemy of the Huguang Qing army by the Yongli court. His greatest contribution was to capture Guilin, pacify Guangxi, and capture the military department of the Yongli court, Qu Shiyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and other important ministers, and was therefore appointed as the governor of Guangxi by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In order to repay the kindness of the Manchu master, he spared no effort to suppress the remnants of the Ming army in the south, and he did his best for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Waiting for the royal camp pro-army musketeers to gather more and more, forcing Ma Jiaolin and his hundreds of pro-soldiers to a corner of the city, and gradually closing the siege, the frontal platoon of guns and guns continued to shoot, and the flank sword and shield soldiers assisted in the attack, and the remaining three or four hundred horse soldiers in the field formed a circle formation, still resisting, but as time passed, they were put to the ground one by one.

Ma Jiaolin in the circle was covered in blood, and he was still slashing and killing, like a trapped beast, and his purple face was full of green tendons, full of madness.

Wu Jisi shouted at Ma Jiaolin in a muffled voice: "You were also the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, and after surrendering, the Tartars didn't see you promoted to the rank and knight, why are you so desperate to work for them, do you know the shame?" ”

Ma Jiaolin snorted coldly: "It is the trend of the times for the Manchurians to dominate the world, and it is just to conform to the times!" There is no need to say much nonsense, even if you let the horse come, a certain family frowns, it is not a hero! ”

Wu Jihei saw that he was still obsessed at this time, his attitude was stubborn, and his anger burned up, and he immediately ordered the musketeers to shoot, and more than a dozen volleys were fired down, and there was no one standing in the field, and Ma Jiaolin and his personal soldiers were all shot and killed on the spot.
