The Qing army set up a long snake formation on the wall, the regimental players in the front row held a shield in one hand and brandished a single knife in the other, and the pikemen in the back row kept stabbing with pear flower guns and spears, and pressed forward step by step.

Under the city wall, the archers of the Gongyi battalion hurriedly released arrows to cover, but they were afraid of hurting their own people, so they could only shoot arrows at the Qing army in the gap, the Qing army had shields and armor to protect, and they did not retreat under the rain of arrows, and the one hundred and ten Ming army death squads who climbed the wall could not stop them, and retreated step by step, seeing that they had retreated to the edge of the camp wall, and they were about to fall down.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Suddenly, there was a series of loud noises, and the entire camp wall seemed to be shaking, and the Qing army couldn't help but be stunned, and turned their heads to look at the gate together.

Outside the south gate of Pizhen, the soldiers of the Gongyi battalion carried two huge ramming logs and slammed into the gate again and again.

Although this wall is strong, it is still much more rudimentary than the regular city wall, and there is no tower on the gate to strengthen the defense, and there are no ancillary facilities of the urn city or anything, which is the weak point of the entire defense line!

The Ming army seized on this weakness and easily attacked the gate with a bumper wood.

There was no blockade on the city tower, dozens of archers pressed the camp walls on both sides, the Ming army carrying the crashing wood was very calm, dozens of people worked together, after hitting more than ten times, the gate squeaked with the impact, which made people listen to the cold teeth, and several visible cracks continued to extend.

"Slap!"

A huge gap appeared in the gate.

Two more slams followed, and the door creaked and tilted slowly, faster and faster, and fell down with a thud, smashing up a cloud of dust.

"Kill!"

The death squads, which had long been prepared, rushed through the gate.

The Qing army inside the gate was also prepared, they built a barricade last night, and mobilized hundreds of people to guard the gate. As soon as the death squads of the Ming army rushed in, a melee ensued between the two sides.

Knives and guns are wielded, and flesh and blood fly!

In this kind of narrow terrain, neither side can set up a regular formation, it is a hard-to-go collision to see who can't withstand it first.

The Qing army couldn't stand it first.

The death squads of the Gongyi battalion were carefully selected, all of them were veterans who dared to fight, and they came in with a sharp spirit, and the Qing army couldn't resist it for a while, and retreated again and again.

Retreat to about one hundred and fifty paces. The reserves of the Qing army came up, and their forces immediately took advantage, rolling upside down and killing back, and the Ming army's death squad had just gone through a fierce rush, and their sharpness had decreased slightly. I can't rush in anymore.

Retreated, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Ming army retreating again.

Just a few dozen steps back. The follow-up units of the Ming army also followed. Hundreds of fresh troops rushed through the gate and helped the death squads block the Qing army.

Guild wars!

Hold on!

A steady stream of Ming troops rushed in through the gate!

The Qing army can't stand it!

Under the impact of wave after wave, the Qing army finally retreated, and within a few hundred steps of the gate, it was already covered with corpses and wounded soldiers, and these corpses belonged to the Qing army. There were also Ming troops, but a short battle was extremely tragic, and the casualties of the Ming and Qing armies were about the same, adding up to more than 500 people.

The number of both dead is about the same. But there is no doubt that the Ming army won this battle, they opened a breakthrough in the Qing army's defense line, and repelled the Qing army's counterattack, consolidating the breakthrough.

Above the wall, the attack of the Gongyi battalion was thwarted.

After breaking through the south gate, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and a fierce attack was launched along the ladder, more than 200 people rushed to the wall, and the long snake formation of the Qing army was also interrupted, and once occupied the wall of dozens of meters, but the counterattack of the Qing army was very fierce, and sent 500 elites to fight a counter-charge, and drove the Gongyi battalion off the wall.

Fortunately, it was a wall of one zhang and two feet, and most of the soldiers of the Gongyi battalion jumped over the wall to escape, and after withdrawing from the range of the Qing army's bow and arrow firearms, they checked the casualties, totaling more than 130 people.

Again!

Wang Kefan did not hesitate and ordered a second attack immediately.

Most of the warehouses of the Qing army are in the southeast corner of Pizhen, so Wang Kefan will choose to attack the east gate and south gate of Pizhen, this wall is too close to the warehouse, the Qing army attaches great importance to it, and the defensive force is very strong, but for the Gongyi battalion, this wall must also be fought for.

In addition, the Gongyi battalion has occupied the gate of the south gate of Pizhen, and there is one more choice in the direction of attack!

The second attack began, the five hundred Ming army carried the ladder to attack the wall, Zhou Guodong took the eight hundred Ming army from the direction of the gate to the southeast corner to kill, this attack was mainly in the direction of the gate, and the attack on the wall was half-true and half-false, which had a certain sense of temptation, and was also to contain the strength of the Qing army.

Before the war, Wang Kefan did not know the specific deployment of the Qing army, and could only use guò actual combat reconnaissance, judging from the first attack, the defense in the direction of the Qing army's gate was slightly weaker, so it was necessary to seize this weakness and launch a fierce attack.

"Report, General Wang San's first attack was blocked, with one hundred and twenty casualties, and he is preparing for a second attack!" The herald brought a battle report from the east gate of Pizhen.

"How did you get a hundred and twenty casualties? Sue General Wang San, now is the time to fight the old book, fight a little harder! Wang Kefan was a little angry.

When preparing for the battle, he had already made it clear to Wang Sheng that he must attack with all his strength to gain time, but Wang Sheng's side only suffered 120 casualties, and there was no progress in the first attack, and it was obvious that he did not do his best.

Wang Kefan's side has already suffered more than 300 casualties, but occupying the gate of Pizhen, in comparison, is much faster than Wang Sheng's progress.

"Kill!"

The five hundred Ming troops rushed to the edge of the wall, took a ladder and attacked again, and then there was a sound of fighting in Pizhen, and Zhou Guodong and the Qing army also handed over.

Wang Kefan looked expressionlessly, waiting, the battle had just begun, and it was impossible to defeat the Qing army with this attack.

Sure enough, the Ming army attacking the wall was thwarted again, and Zhou Guodong also retreated with his troops.

"General Wang, I have a drama over there, the Tartars almost can't stand it, give me another chance, I will definitely be able to kill it!" Although Zhou Guodong was blocked, he looked very excited, and he had confirmed that the direction of the south gate was indeed the weak link of the Qing army.

"Good! Then break through the South Gate! ”

Wang Kefan made up his mind and immediately ordered Tan Xiao to launch a third wave of attacks in the direction of the South Gate, and at the same time sent someone to give Wang Sheng an order to transfer Lu Renqing's troops to support the South Gate, while Zhou Guodong reorganized his troops and prepared for the next attack.

The wall can't be abandoned, the east gate can't be abandoned, but they are all feints, the real breakthrough direction is the south gate, Tan Xiao's troops have just started a war with the Qing army, Wang Kefan ordered Tan Xiao to launch a fourth wave of attacks, Lu Renqing to prepare a fifth wave of attacks, and Zhou Guodong to prepare a sixth wave of attacks......

"Kill!"

Tan Xiao launched a fierce attack with 800 people, the Qing army resisted desperately, and after a fierce battle, the Qing army sent the reserve team up, only to beat Tan Xiao back, and just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Renqing's troops came up again.

Lu Renqing was repulsed, and Zhou Guodong came up.

Zhou Guodong was repulsed, and Teng Shuanglin came up again.

Teng Shuanglin was repulsed, and Tan Xiao came up again......

Wave after wave of attacks, the casualties of the Qing army continued to increase, and the reserves were all thrown into battle, but the most terrible thing was that they did not have time to adjust their deployment, did not have time to breathe, and under constant pressure, the second line of defense of the Qing army finally collapsed.

Cattle knife tactics, after aiming at the enemy's vital points, it is necessary to launch a continuous onslaught.

Go on the offensive!

Across the front of the Gongyi camp was the last line of defense of the Qing army, and standing outside the barricade, you could already see those huge warehouses.

After most of the fierce fighting for most of the day, most of the Qing army was squeezed in the southeast corner of Pizhen, and there were more than 2,000 Qing troops in the palm-sized place, which was not easy to deal with.

"These guys, they won't run away when they're dying!" Tan Xiao scolded.

"Hey, I don't understand this, they don't dare to run, they will kill their heads if they run!" Zhou Guodong has always loved to raise the bar with Tan Xiao, knowing that the other party was just scolding casually, but he still deliberately explained.

The task of these Qing troops was to guard the warehouses, and if they escaped, they would be severely punished, although the Ming army did not surround them, and they did not dare to flee.

"It's okay, when General Wang San attacks on both sides, he can solve them in one go." Lu Renqing took over the conversation.

The Qing army continued to send troops to reinforce the south gate, and Wang Sheng strengthened the offensive again, and had broken through from the east gate to the other side of the warehouse.

Just then, a scout rode his horse and galloped in.

"Report, Tartar reinforcements are coming!"

Two nearby Qing strongholds sent reinforcements, one of 2,000 men and the other of 1,500 men, one of which was stopped by Ti Zhaorong's cavalry, while the other was rapidly approaching, less than ten miles from Pizhen.

"It's coming so fast!" Wang Kefan was secretly shocked in his heart.

These two strongholds are too close to Pizhen, and he has also considered besieging the city for reinforcements in advance, but it takes time to besiege the city and send reinforcements, which will delay the attack on Pizhen, if the reinforcements from these two strongholds come too slowly, the Gongyi battalion can only wait outside Pizhen, even if it is only delayed for one day, Jin Shenghuan's main force may arrive by boat at any time.

So I can only fight, and the Qing army that fights these two strongholds will not come to help in time, but what I didn't expect was that the Qing army's reinforcements would not come sooner or later, but they came at the most critical time, and they came together, so that Ti Zhaorong's cavalry would lose sight of one or the other.

The battle of Pizhen has reached the last moment, and it is definitely not possible to divide the troops out of the city at this time, who will be sent to block the reinforcements of the Qing army?

Outside Pizhen, there are also the baggage troops of the Gongyi battalion, except for a small number of soldiers, they are mainly auxiliary soldiers responsible for carrying grain and grass materials, they have more than 2,000 people, in addition to no armor, there is no shortage of basic swords, guns and weapons, even if it is not the opponent of the Qing army's reinforcements, it is okay to block for a period of time.

However, they still have to guard the grain and grass baggage, if they go to block the Qing army reinforcements, will the grain and grass baggage be left behind? (To be continued......)
