Zheng Li watched the steel army of the Shandong Army continue to move forward, and then looked at the already crumbling city wall under his feet, as well as the hesitation in the mouth of the Zheng family around him, and suddenly thought of a sentence:

"In the face of absolute strength, everything in the past has become a thing of the past, and it is vulnerable."

The current situation is just right with this sentence, the Shandong army under Wang Zheng is simply invulnerable on land, the strict military formation, the soldiers armed from head to toe, the strict military discipline, and the strategy of allowing them to advance and retreat calmly are too strong.

It is said that in addition to the main force of the army, there are still most of the foreign soldiers and horses, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers.

"Boom ......"

I don't know how long the siege lasted, but the south gate of Anping finally collapsed with relief.

Behind the fallen city gate, a large number of Shandong soldiers were exposed, and they rushed into the city like a tide of swords and guns, and the mercenaries of the Zheng family could only hurriedly go up, and in an instant, there was a bloody storm at the city gate.

In addition to the soldiers and horses fighting on both sides, there are really no traces of people inside and outside Anping City, all the people are hiding at home to avoid the military disaster, shops have closed their doors, and pedestrians have hurriedly taken refuge in nearby houses, inns or restaurants.

Everyone listened to the fierce shouting and killing outside, and their bodies were constantly shaking.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Bang-"

The shouts of killing and the continuous roar of guns and cannons were intertwined, and the soldiers of the Shandong army soon tore apart the positions held by a thousand mercenaries under the city.

In addition to Zheng Li, there were three generals in charge of guarding the city wall, one of whom was hit by a bird gun not long ago and died on the spot, the other two ran away, and the remaining one was commanding resistance under the city.

Zheng Li is Zheng Zhibao's cronies, so he naturally knows that most of the people in the city have been brought to Suzhou City by Zheng Zhilong, and all the people who remain here add up to just tens of thousands of people.

This number is nothing compared to the 300,000 Shandong army soldiers and horses besieging the city.

There was an endless stream of Shandong troops on the city, but there were fewer and fewer Zheng family dingkou on the city wall, and soon, Qin Liangshi, the general of the Shandong army, looked at Zheng Li, who was struggling to command the defense in the corner tower on the west side.

Zheng Li kicked down a Shandong soldier who had just climbed the corner tower and breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, the corner tower was the place where the main general commanded the battle, but now the city wall in all directions has almost been lost, and Zheng Li can only go into battle in person.

He had just resisted the attack of a Shandong soldier, and before he had time to be surprised by the strength in the hands of the ordinary soldier, a murderous aura suddenly struck from his side.

Almost subconsciously, Zheng Li quickly took a few steps back, and a cold light appeared, and a general of the Shandong Army wearing crimson armor appeared in front of him.

This general has a leg skirt hanging from his waist, and the scales on it are shining, although Zheng Li doesn't know him, he can also know from his outfit that the other party is a relatively high-ranking general in the Shandong army.

Qin Liangshi seemed to be a little surprised that Zheng Li could dodge this knife, but it was obvious that this emotion would not have any impact on the next attack at all.

He quickly kept up with the pace, and slashed out another knife in succession, although Zheng Li is a family general and an expert in water warfare, but he is not very good at land warfare.

Qin Liangshi opposite him started step by step from the low-level security guard, and his way to becoming a general of the Shandong Army was full of bones of various enemies.

The functions of the four major battalions of soldiers are different, and the sharp knife battalion led by Dong Youyin is the sharp blade of the whole army, and they rush to the forefront in every battle, but the casualties are often the heaviest part of the whole army.

As a result, every surviving soldier in the Sharp Knife Battalion was a brave and ruthless soldier who was not inferior to the Eight Banners of the Qing Capture outside the Guan, and the supplements were also carefully selected from the whole army again and again, and the best ones were selected.

Qin Liangshi started from the bottom, and he was also full of prestige in the Sharp Knife Battalion, although he was not extremely crazy in the battle, he was brave and strategic, and knew how to choose the opponent's weakness to break through in one fell swoop.

The battle between Qin Liangyu and Zheng Li, like the battle between the Shandong Army and the Zheng clan from the beginning, was destined to be a one-sided ending.

After the first few rounds of fighting, Zheng Li resisted Qin Liangshi's knife a few times, and his hands were already cracked and blood flowed out, while the other party was only breathing slightly, obviously not using all his strength.

Qin Liangshi glared at Zheng Li tightly, suddenly laughed, and said:

"Is that all you can do? Suffer death! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Li was shocked, it turned out that Fang Cai was just a test by the other party, and he was not allowed to think about it, Qin Liangyu's offensive had already hit like a storm.

Knife after knife, and the force became more and more ruthless, Zheng Li gradually did not even have the strength to parry, and could only keep retreating and retreating and retreating.

Qin Liangshi pressed step by step, taking his head and winning the first merit, which is very important in the Shandong army, which respects martial arts.

......

The city of Anping was broken, and the soldiers and horses of the Shandong army rushed into the city from all directions, and after carrying out a simple whole team, they immediately swept from house to house along the streets and alleys.

There is also a large open space at the west gate of the Zheng Mansion compound, where the Zheng family's military array is listed, and the water and land soldiers and horses coming from the dock must also pass through here to reach the mansion.

Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhibao led the last more than 3,000 people who could be summoned to wait here, and the Zheng family infantry sent several large formations, which were composed of Dingkou, Waren, and Kunlunnu.

Although Zheng Zhibao was unruly, he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, and he did not panic, and immediately made corresponding arrangements after hearing the news of the Shandong army's attack.

The people in the Zheng Mansion frequently came in and out, and the various families continued to take the few people in the city out to fight the fire, but basically there was no return, only to get the news of the death and loss one after another.

The reason why Zheng Zhibao dared to line up here was because the enemy's infantry had already approached, and although the warships of the Shandong Naval Division at the wharf and the large number of general artillery on the surrounding hillsides could hit here, they would never dare to open fire rashly, otherwise they would hurt their own people if they didn't get it right.

Zheng Zhibao has been through the sea for many years, and he is also a long-time veteran of naval battles, he is very confident that the smoothbore cannon of the Shandong army will never be as accurate as the Zhengjia artillery that has been improved in the Western style, so once a mistake occurs, the wounded and dead soldiers of the Shandong army will definitely be several times more than the Zhengjia Dingkou!

As he expected, since the flag change at the head of the city and the dock water city, the warships of the Shandong Army and the surrounding generals stopped firing, and the city was quiet all of a sudden.

However, this silence is not absolute silence, less than the continuous sound of cannons, and the constant sound of guns, shouts of killing, and the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

There was a sudden cheer in the distance, and the soldiers of the Zheng family followed the sound to look over, and there was a burly figure standing at the head of the city, this person was carrying an unknown head in his hand, and he was showing off his might.

Zheng Zhibao immediately understood who it was, and immediately became angry, pulled out the exquisitely crafted sword at his waist, turned around and shouted:

"Swing the cannon and line up to meet the enemy!"
