Hu Maozhen died, died in the process of impacting the phalanx, the spear stabbed the good horse under his crotch to the ground, and Hu Maozhen, whose thigh was pressed under the corpse of the war horse, was not rescued by the soldiers before he could be rescued, and even those who tried to rescue him were killed by the Ming army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The cavalry of the Qing army, they originally came from various towns, and only a fierce general like Hu Maozhen, who was a vanguard cavalry general under Gao Jie, could drive them, and when they lost their commander, they soon fell into the dilemma of fighting on their own. Some want to continue to storm the phalanx and avenge Hu Maozhen; Others want to try to escape from this phalanx jungle and return to the safer city of Fucheng; Some, even giving up resistance, are only torn between acceptable terms of surrender.

The battle situation on the right flank soon reached Chen Wen's ears, and when he heard the news, Chen Wen seemed a little indifferent, just turned his head and continued to observe the siege battle. Only the moment he raised the telescope, a moment of smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting.

"Zhang Guoquan is being Ling Chi, and now that Hu Xubin is also dead, it should be Hong Guofan's turn next."

Time passed minute by minute, and the siege battle had been going on for most of the day. In the telescope, the captives of the ant-attached siege and the Ming army that supported it are still fighting bravely, nearly half of the female wall has been destroyed, and the defenders above have also been cleaned up by the Ming shooters round after round under the range disadvantage, especially the appearance of the first climb, and the casualties have doubled. Soon, the city was full of corpses and wounded soldiers, although the Qing army's auxiliaries were still trying their best to evacuate, but the pressure on the city was too great, and the Qing army's auxiliaries soon had no spare strength to do these things, but needed to work harder to transport guards for the defenders at the head of the city.

After a long time, the battle on the right flank of the Ming army also came to an end, and with the cooperation of the Ming cavalry and phalanx, the Qing cavalry that had lost its commander could no longer continue, and soon began to collapse in the chaos. Until just now, only one cavalry broke out of the encirclement, and the others were either killed in the formation or surrendered under the siege of the Ming army.

The only dominant unit of the Qing army was defeated in this encounter, and Hu Maozhen paid the price of his life to hold the city of Guangxin, but it was still difficult to recover the defeat. Facts have proved that in front of the phalanx, the cavalry without infantry cooperation is just a group of cannon fodder who die faster, and if Hu Maozhen knew Ney's fate, he probably wouldn't have made up his mind.

However, above the city, many prisoners had already climbed on it, and they were about to open up the situation, but they were repelled by a counter-charge after the Qing army regrouped its forces. The siege war was back in a stalemate, and it seemed that the sky was no longer enough to support the Ming army for a new round of onslaught.

"The Tartars still have strength left, and it's not too late to fight again tomorrow."

………………

The Ming army withdrew from the battlefield, and the Qing army finally held on to today's day.

It stands to reason that the first day of a siege is often the bloodiest and most brutal, and if you can survive the first day, the pressure will be much less. However, the night of the Qing army was not easy.

Under the eastern city wall, the wounded soldiers and dead bodies of the Qing army have been slowly transported away, and the dead bodies will be transported to the northwest of the city for burial, and the wounded soldiers will be treated. On the streets of Guangxin Fucheng, there has long been a curfew, and those who can continue to walk on the road under this night are all Qing soldiers escorting people to deal with the dead and wounded. The corpses would not move, but the wails of the wounded soldiers filled the city, and even the revelry of the Qing army, who had returned to the camp today and continued to relieve the pressure by good wine, good meat, and ravaging the women.

The Qing army held the city, which is indeed worth celebrating, and even Hong Chengchou ordered the soldiers who defended the city to be praised and rewarded. However, whether it is those temporary places for injuries and illnesses, or the barracks for fun, there is always an atmosphere before the end of the world, which seems very strange.

"Do you know, today in the city, the Ming army I stabbed to death with one shot is my mother-in-law's own brother. At that time, he climbed to the top of the city, and the situation was urgent, and I stabbed him with a shot without looking, but I stabbed him to death and found out that I had killed my own relatives, my brother-in-law. You said that this let my father-in-law know, and he has to die of anger, he is such a son. ”

"Hey, I too, throwing down a stone, vaguely always feel that it was the one who was stoned to death, like a cousin of my family's distant family, isn't this my own family killed my own family?"

"I knew I shouldn't have come, these Ming troops are too ruthless, we can't beat them, if we continue to kill each other like this, even if we go back to our hometown, we won't be able to see the villagers, and we won't be able to enter the ancestral grave."

After drinking too much, the soldiers of the defenders had no interest in anything but lewd pleasures, and gathered together and sighed. Their immediate superiors, those middle- and low-ranking officers, are either drinking and having fun in their own tents, or doing similar things, and they don't care much about the trend of public opinion in the army, and they don't know how to reverse it.

"Hehe, today it seems that we are guarding the city, but if you think about it carefully, it was said that the three city walls in the south, north and west were handed over to the remnants of the Jingluo Standard Battalion, and the east city wall was the day by day by Admiral Liu and our Jiujiang Town. It's a good thing now, they almost didn't hold it on the first day, and it was only when we saved the scene that the Ming army was driven out of the city. Wait until tomorrow, who will save us! ”

"Brother, you are right, they are all the same soldiers, and tomorrow they will make trouble and go to the city today, and we are not desperate."

"That's it, now that Admiral Zhang is dead, and Admiral Hu is also dead, there are only some remnants of the defeated army left, can you beat it, do you expect Nangan to come and save us?"

"Hey, a fierce general like Admiral Hu has died in the battle, there is really no way to fight this battle, it is far better to flee back to Jiujiang quickly."

"Is it useful to run back? Wait for the Ming army to take Guangxin Mansion, Jiujiang can be defended, I think it is better to find a way to get a boat after arriving in Jiujiang, the Ming army will bring their belongings when they come, take a boat back to their hometown, and be a rich man. ”

"That's a great deal."

………………

Hu Maozhen's death and the fact that the defenders were forced to dispatch Jiujiang Zhenbao in advance to assist in the defense undoubtedly further hit the morale of the Qing army, and even those high-ranking officers and the Nanchang shogunate did not have the joy of defending the city, but were still panicking for the disaster in the future.

The next day, the Ming army attacked again, and the siege equipment was no less than yesterday, and it seemed that yesterday's casualties did not hurt the Ming army's headquarters at all.

Driving the captives to attack the city, Chen Wen will not care about how these captives die and how many they die. As long as it can exchange the lives of the Qing army in the city, even just the destruction of the city wall is worth it. However, the captives who were dispatched yesterday, Chen Wen, who came back alive, did not hesitate, there was enough meat, no wine, and women did not think about it, but they were just like the Ming army. And today, they no longer need to fight as the first echelon, but wait until those prisoners who did not fight yesterday have once again fallen into a stalemate in the siege battle before they will come with the Ming army to carry out that fatal blow.

Just like yesterday, after the Ming army launched an attack, the Qing army once again dispatched cavalry. This time, the general of the army was replaced by Liu Fangming, the former chief soldier of Ningxia and the current governor of Jingbiaohou Town. It's just that this Liu Dashuai seems to have learned the lesson of Hu Maozhen, or the cavalry of the Qing army no longer occupies too much advantage in terms of numbers, and cannot withstand consumption, so they have to hover outside the jungle of the phalanx, but the harassment of the Ming army is even more minimal.

The siege battle was once again staged as in yesterday's script, and the morale of the Qing army was obviously much lower, but the Ming army was as always, and even higher than yesterday. This is related to the fact that the soldiers and horses of the Ming army headquarters did not suffer too many casualties yesterday, but more importantly, the Ming army's supervising officers have always maintained and encouraged the morale of the army and guided the trend of public opinion in the army.

In this way, the Ming army firmly believed that the city was about to be broken, while the Qing army was still muttering whether it could hold it today. At noon, when the sun was at its most poisonous, as Chen Wen's banner pressed forward, the Ming army of the brigade began to dispatch and launched the most powerful wave of attacks so far.

Hong Chengchou was still in charge of the city, but the defense of the defenders fell to Yang Jie as yesterday. The Ming army of the brigade was dispatched, and the city was condescending, so it was naturally very clear. The main event really opened, Yang Jie hurriedly mobilized more troops, and even the city was on standby, and the town of Jingbiaoqian, which would be used as a backup, was also transferred a lot.

The battle continued, and the Qing army's artillery at the head of the city was always under the attack of the Ming army's lookout, and the target could only be selected on these towering siege equipment. With minimal interference, the Ming army soon approached the city, and the captives were immediately demoralized when they saw the Ming army in person, and launched a more compact offensive towards the city.

"The guys with the iron masks didn't come, and it's fine."

This sound of happiness not only appeared in Yang Jie's heart, but even many Qing troops present, especially those who were made up by Jingbiaoqian Town.

Yesterday's day, the Ming army relied on the advantage of the fire gun in the firing range, and the Qing army at the head of the city was extremely uncomfortable. Whenever you want to attack the enemy troops on the ladder, or bombard those lookouts with artillery, you will inevitably be attacked by Ming shooters.

This was true yesterday, and even more so today, and even the shooters of the Ming army appeared to be more disciplined in the selection of targets for shooting, and the gunners of the Qing army and the officers commanding the operations without exception became the objects of key care, and the casualties naturally rose in a straight line.

The gunners were shot, which meant that the rate of fire of the artillery would be greatly affected, and the counterattack against the Ming artillery and the shooters on the lookout was becoming more and more powerless; And the casualties of those officers meant chaos in an area, making the Ming army's ant siege even more effective.

At the head of the city, as the chaos intensified, more and more soldiers of the Ming army climbed to the head of the city. Some were prisoners who drove the siege, and there was even a Ming army that set up a mandarin duck formation and began to advance in formation to gain more space for the follow-up Ming army.

The passage above the city wall is not wide, even if the east wall of Guangxin Mansion City is specially reinforced. The Mandarin Duck Array soon played a greater role in this terrain, forcing more Qing troops to turn their attention to these Ming troops who had already climbed the city walls.

After a while, the area where the Qing army fell on the head of the city became larger and larger, and the first mandarin duck array began to form a formation to kill the Qing army on the head of the city, and after a while, the second mandarin duck array was also completed, killing in the other direction. Seeing this, a Qing army artillery commander took a lot of effort to load a tiger squat cannon under the shooting of the Ming army, and then aimed at the direction of the Ming army's mandarin duck formation, and pressed the torch on the lead.

"Get out of the way!"

It was not too late to shout this, but there was such a large space on the head of the city, most of the Qing troops flashed to both sides, and one of them even turned directly down from the city, but the few Qing troops who were fighting with the Mandarin Duck Array still couldn't dodge.

After the scattered bombs, the casualties of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were almost the same. After the Ming army's Mandarin Duck Formation was damaged, it hurriedly changed its formation, from a small three-talent formation that was conducive to attack to a big three-talent formation, and began to enter a defensive state to wait for backup. On the side of the Qing army, there was a large group of non-commissioned officers who were rushing up the inner stairs under the leadership of the officers.

At this stage of the battle, even a straw is enough to affect the outcome of the battle. The Qing army was still rushing upward, and the Ming army's battle array was broken, and it was soon pressed back. However, the next Ming army to climb the ladder, carrying a rattan card wrapped in iron sheets, was not an infantry in the Mandarin Duck Formation system.

The mandarin duck array was in urgent need of replenishment, but the order of boarding could not take care of this unexpected situation. Fortunately, although this soldier was not what the Mandarin Duck Array was eager for, the threat to the Qing army after he ascended to the top of the city was far greater than that of the Mandarin Duck Array.

The soldiers are tall and big, and they know that they are very strong when they look at their arms. But he saw that he took out a round black iron ball from the cloth bag he was carrying on his waist, and the fire broke and ignited as soon as it was blown, and it was directly lit on the thread of the iron ball.

When the fuse was ignited, it meant an explosion, and when the grand occasion of the revolutionary party throwing bombs at the end of the Qing Dynasty was about to appear at the head of Guangxin Mansion more than 200 years in advance, I saw a carved arrow flying straight from the direction of the city gate building and plunging straight into the throat of the grenadier.

Wang Fuchen shot an arrow, but his heart was full of panic, and he hurriedly persuaded Hong Chengchou. But at this moment, the grenadier put his hands to his throat and the grenade fell to the ground, but a captive who was driven to the city grabbed the grenade and threw it into the city with his backhand.

Under the city, crowded with Qing troops who were preparing to enter the city, grenades fell from the city, and before they fell to the ground, they only heard a roar, and when they landed, a large number of Qing troops were blown up to the bones.

"Well done."

The captain of the Mandarin Duck Formation glanced at the prisoner with trepidation, slapped him on the shoulder, and then said: "Go back and report my name, I will go to the prison officer to testify to you, and your credit is indispensable." ”

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Picking up the grenade and throwing it down the city, the captive reacted like a reflex. After all, this fatal thing fell right next to him, and he was the first to be killed if he sat idly by.

However, when the merit was heard, the captive was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the shield that the grenadier had dropped on the ground, and with the waist knife in his hand, he strode into the ranks of the mandarin duck array.

"Grandpa Guo will win, kill the Tartar!"

………………

"Heaven-shattering thunder has gone to the city!"

The explosion sounded first under the city, and the fear of being dominated by the grenadiers had not reappeared in front of him in less than ten days from the last time, especially when the screams of the earth-shattering thunder began to spread rapidly, and the fear directly swept away the morale of the Qing army.

However, in an instant, the Qing army under the city was in chaos, and they scattered and fled, and the Qing troops who were still fighting for this small area with the Ming army in the city also lost the courage to continue fighting in an instant, either kneeling and asking for surrender, or turning around and running to the city in a hurry.

The morale of the Qing army collapsed like a wooden tower in the flames, Hu Quancai's prediction came true, after a few days, the grenade once again became the last straw that crushed the camel, Yang Jie, who was still struggling to command the defenders to fight, was stunned by this, and then pulled out his sword and wiped it straight on his neck - he stayed in Jiangxi with Tan Tai to suppress Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren anyway, and participated in the Nanchang Massacre five years ago that resulted in the death of more than 200,000 people. Rather than waiting for the suffering of a thousand knives like Daniel Zhang under the city after being captured, it is better to break off on your own.

A series of events occurred one after another when the grenadiers landed in the city, the Qing army was in turmoil, and the city defenders committed suicide. When the Ming army opened the east gate, the Ming army of the brigade entered, Guangxin Fucheng, the gateway of Jiangxi finally opened the door to Chen Wen after a year of suppression of the four provincial capitals.
