"Knock knock ......!"

The war drums tightened one after another, almost forming a scale, and seven or eight Ming soldiers shouted together and launched a charge towards Golden Town.

Under the banner of the generals in the rear formation, Tong Yizhen had a serious expression, and was busy directing the battle, giving various orders from time to time, this was the fourth attack of his troops, and whether he could break through Golden Town was in this move.

The golden town is close to the Zhangjiang River, and the Ming army's chosen attack point is also on the bank of the Zhangjiang River, using the artillery of the naval division to open the way for the infantry, and hundreds of warships fire together, bombarding the Qing army's position into a mess, and the walls and houses close to the river are ruined.

"Bang! Bang! "After a few cannon shots, the Ming warships stopped firing, they only had four-pounder guns and six-pounder guns, the range was limited, and they could not engage in any extended shooting, and when the Ming infantry rushed up, they could only cease fire.

But that's enough, Tong Yizhen's Guangdong soldiers successfully entered the Golden Town!

But this was not enough, the Qing army resisted in the second line of defense, although it was only two or three hundred steps away, and the Ming army's four-pounder and six-pounder guns could not reach!

The second line of defense of the Qing army was very strong, with a large number of low wall barricades and barricades, and the Ming army was repulsed several fierce attacks, and was also beaten by the Qing army with a counter-charge without paying attention.

More than 300 Qing troops held regimental cards and broadswords, and rushed out to start street battles with the Ming army, in the narrow town, both sides could not fight in formation, that is, they were entangled with each other one by one, and the Ming army sailors were afraid of accidentally injuring friendly troops, so they could only watch and could not open fire.

The combat effectiveness of this Qing army was very strong, and although the Ming army was numerous, it could not give full play to its superiority in strength in the street battle, and was killed and retreated!

"Bang! Bang! ”

The artillery of the Ming army's naval division opened fire again, and the Qing army rushed too fiercely, giving them an angle to shoot. A volley of shells smashed through, plowing a few human alleys in the crowd of Qing troops, and the remaining Qing troops saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran......

"Old boy, you can't do it, let's go together!" Liang Zhiren was eager to try, and although the Qing army was beaten back, Tong Yizhen's attack also failed.

"I can't do it, just add you?" Tong Yizhen is not angry, and the golden town is a big palm. On one side of the mountain and on the other side of the water, if there are too many attacking troops, they will not be able to spread at all, and Liang Zhiren's thousands of men and horses are not of much use.

Unlike Tankou Town, Golden Town's fortifications are much stronger. The Manchu defenders also had more troops, and the Qing army took advantage of the terrain to shrink inside to defend. It's like an iron walnut that's hard to deal with.

"You hit the south. I hit the north and didn't interfere with each other. Liang Zhiren's face suddenly tensed: "I really help, what's the matter, are you afraid that I will steal the credit?" ”

"Okay, whoever attacks first will be credited with ......" Tong Yizhen gave in. He fought with the Qing army for a long time, and there were hundreds of casualties on both sides. However, Liang Zhiren and he are both Guangdong soldiers. After more than ten years of friendship, you don't have to worry too much about each other.

Tong Yizhen and Liang Zhiren attacked Golden Town, and the other Ming troops were responsible for intercepting the Qing army's reinforcements, and the Yunnan soldiers, Jiangxi soldiers, Jiangxi volunteers, and Guangdong volunteers all fought fiercely with the Qing army around Golden Town. This is also the reason why Tong Yizhen gave in, if he did not take the golden town as soon as possible, the Qing army would have more and more reinforcements, and the Ming army would fall into passivity.

Different from the peripheral Nankang County and Tankou Town, Golden Town has belonged to the core area of the Qing army's encirclement, and it has been attacked at all, and the reinforcements sent by Wang Deren have approached Golden Town, and Jin Shenghuan's army is also coming along the Ganjiang River.

Fortunately, the Ming army's naval division controlled the Zhangjiang River, and the Qing army on the west bank of the Zhangjiang River was in a hurry but could not help.

Liang Zhiren's troops had already been transferred to the north of Golden Town, and after some preparations, he and Tong Yizhen launched another attack.

The power of the two-pronged approach was really different, both troops successfully attacked the town, and the Qing army launched a fierce street battle, but gradually, the Ming army's offensive was blocked by the Qing army, and the speed of advance became slower and slower, and the Qing army in the town was unable to divide and surround it.

"It's fucking difficult!" Liang Zhiren couldn't help but scold his mother, compared with the Qing army, the combat effectiveness of the Guangdong soldiers was still too poor, he and Tong Yizhen combined with 8,000 people, and there were only more than 2,000 Qing troops in Golden Town, but they were never able to defeat the Qing army.

"Old boy, don't fucking hide it, pull up the pro-military camp!"

He found Tong Yizhen again to discuss, to send the most elite pro-military battalion to solve the battle, Tong Yizhen hesitated, nodded and agreed. The pro-soldier battalion is an elite unit that looks after the house, and it is a bit wasteful to attack the fortifications, but the battle has fallen into a stalemate, and it is better to fight for the pro-battalion to suffer some losses than repeated wars of attrition.

At this time, Wang Kefan suddenly came.

"Two generals, Bixia has an order, let's slow down the attack for the time being!"

“weishenme？” Tong Yizhen and Liang Zhiren were both stunned.

"Slow down, don't fight hard, the sailor is disassembling the cannons, preparing to launch a general attack again, and solve this Tartar ...... in Golden Town at once"

Tong Yizhen and Liang Zhiren's eyes were bright, but after glancing at each other, their expressions were a little strange.

There were a lot of improvised four-pounder guns on the sampan of the sailors, and it would be much easier to attack Golden Town by removing them to support the Cantonese soldiers...... However, the reinforcements of the Qing army are coming from all directions, and if they don't conquer Golden Town as soon as possible, how will the battle be fought in the future?

"I'm afraid it's too late, right?"

"Don't worry, it's time to ......"

After Wang Kefan made some arrangements, he left in a hurry.

"Fuck it, like I'm a fool!" Tong Yizhen is also reluctant to fight hard with the Qing army, of course it is good to have artillery support, but the battle situation is so tense, is there still time to slowly dismantle the artillery?

"Well, this must be Wang Kefan's arrangement, maybe it's a trick to lure the enemy." As Liang Zhiren spoke, he sent someone to send an order to suspend the attack on Golden Town.

"What lure the enemy? When Wang Zamao arrives, let's see what he does! Tong Yi sneered.

Wang Zamao is Wang Deren, his troops are the rest of the Dashun army, the combat effectiveness is very strong, the Ming army is very jealous of him, Tong Yizhen and Liang Zhiren desperately attacked the golden town, just want to eliminate this Qing army first, and turn back to meet Wang Deren.

"Isn't the Gongyi camp still moving, it should be able to withstand Wang Zamao." Liang Zhiren and Thin Mud.

Wang Deren is very powerful, and the Gongyi battalion is not bad, if the Gongyi battalion can withstand it, the Guangdong soldiers will not have to fight hard, of course it is a good thing.

"Forget it! The Gongyi battalion has not fought a battle so far, this Wang Kefan is unreliable......"

Tong Yizhen couldn't help but complain and was very dissatisfied with Wang Kefan.

Since entering Jiangxi, all the dirty work has been undertaken by other Ming troops, but the Gongyi Battalion has always served as the reserve of the whole army, and has never fought with the Qing army, obviously preserving its strength. (To be continued......)
