Chapter 107 The Qing Army's Response

Jiangyin is surrounded on all sides, and now that the Ming Dynasty reinforcements have arrived, Duoduo will definitely take strict precautions, how can Zheng Chenggong and them easily break through?

"Tear a gap with cavalry!" Zheng Chenggong said what he thought was feasible: "According to the scout's report, Duoduo's army has been storming the north gate of Jiangyin, and the defense of the south gate is weak, so you can send cavalry to break into the formation, and cooperate with the defenders of Jiangyin, and you will definitely be able to break through in one fell swoop."

"The cavalry entered the city...... How can you fight? Wang Guoxing hesitated.

The cavalry's battlefield was in the vast plains, and it was not a place to defend in the city.

"After the cavalry covers the infantry entering the city, they can stay outside the city and contain the Qing army outside the city, so that they do not dare to attack the city with all their strength." Zheng Chenggong said.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong didn't plan to let the cavalry enter the city, and he stayed outside the city at a critical moment, maybe he could be of great help.

With the convergence of the Ming armies in Nanjing, Changzhou, Wuxi, Changshu and other places, Duoduo also understood that his offensive intentions had been known to the Ming army.

Qi Hongying, who was trapped in Jiangbei at the same time, learned that Duoduo had crossed the river, and after learning that Duoduo had crossed the river, he actually marched westward, and in only three days, he took Taizhou, and his troops pointed directly at Yangzhou City.

Duoduo cut off Qi Hongying's reinforcement route, and Qi Hongying also cut off Duoduo's supply line along the river, so that Duoduo's sailors could not return to Yangzhou, so they had to stay on the Jiangyin line.

Both sides are now tense, and it depends on who can't withstand it first.

If Li Hongfei couldn't resist it in Nanjing, or Yan Yingyuan in Jiangyin couldn't resist it, so Duoduo could advance westward, then the Qing army's battle might be a decisive battle to take Jiangnan and unify the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

If Nanjing and Jiangyin have withstood the pressure of the Qing army, then at least Duoduo's 100,000 troops will be difficult to retreat from the whole body, and the Qing army has lost so many troops in successive battles.

At noon on the second day of the convergence of Wang Guoxing and Zheng Chenggong's two armies, while Duoduo continued to storm the north gate, Wang Guoxing personally led 5,000 elite armored heavy cavalry to storm the south gate besieged by the Qing army.

Wang Sheng, the guard of the south gate, saw that there were reinforcements rushing into battle, and did not hesitate to send two thousand defenders out of the city to respond.

The plan for reinforcements to enter the city was successfully implemented.

However, after entering Jiangyin City, Zheng Chenggong found that the situation was even worse than imagined, not only was there a lack of equipment to defend the city, but there were not many young and middle-aged people left, and there were even women and children wearing armor at the north gate guarded by Yan Yingyuan.

The 200,000 righteous people have persevered to this day, all with a blood and an unyielding will.

This kind of spirit, even a group of Ming soldiers into the city embarrassed, in the past the Ming Dynasty had a million soldiers, but there was no way to take more than 100,000 Qing troops, now a group of ordinary people, but can not let the Qing army take a step forward, and even hit the other side hard, I have to say, this is a great irony.

"Everyone has worked hard, the next battle will be handed over to us, I, Zheng Sen, hereby guarantee that the city is here!" Zheng Chenggong said to Yan Yingyuan with a solemn face.

"General Zheng can lead the righteous master to the dangerous city in person, I am deeply grateful, Jiangyin is the land of the Ming Dynasty, as the people of the Ming Dynasty, they all have the responsibility of defending the land, not to mention the hard work." Yan Yingyuan replied.

It is the responsibility to defend the land, and not to give up an inch of land, this is the backbone of Yan Yingyuan, and it is also the backbone of the Jiangyin army and people.........

Jiangyin county had reinforcements, morale gradually recovered, in the afternoon battle to defend the city, 2,000 Suzhou new troops went to the city, a round of grenade bombing, followed by flintlock guns, Furlong machine salvo, soon repelled the Qing army's attack.

"There are less than 20,000 reinforcements entering the city, and now the north gate city wall has been destroyed by our artillery for a short time, as long as the continuous onslaught is needed, within three days, the city will be broken!" Xu Dingguo assured Duoduo.

Before Xu Dingguo led the vanguard army, in Yangzhou encountered the siege of Shi Kefa, although the soldiers used their lives to help it successfully break through, but he was seriously injured, has been recuperating in the rear, and now Liu Liangzuo is not strong, Duoduo has to let this tiger general, with injuries into battle.

"Three days? Are you sure? Even Dordor himself was a little discouraged.

The defenders of Jiangyin were too tenacious, which had already made Duoduo suspicious, and Qi Hongying coerced Yangzhou, if it weren't for the fact that he was cooperating with Azig, Duoduo would even want to withdraw his troops at this time.

"At present, Jiangyin is at the end of the strong crossbow, and the reinforcements that Nanming has been able to send so far are almost all here, once the gateway of Jiangyin is opened, the entire Jiangnan will no longer be able to block the front of our army." Han Dai analyzed.

Now the situation is gradually clear, the Ming army is on the periphery of Jiangyin, there are only 5,000 cavalry left, as long as the army in Jiangyin County is destroyed in one fell swoop, Duoduo's army can drive straight into the city of Nanjing.

"Pass the order, transfer 10,000 cavalry to pursue and suppress the heavy cavalry of the Ming army, and the rest of the generals, day and night, will concentrate on attacking the north gate of Jiangyin. Within three days, be sure to take Jiangyin! Dodor ordered.

With 10,000 cavalry, chasing and suppressing Wang Guoxing's 5,000 elite cavalry, it can be regarded as more worthy of the other party.

Now that the reinforcements that the Ming army can come, they have all entered the city, and then they are divided into troops to guard all sides, which is already a bit chicken.

As for the soldiers and civilians in the city, they took the opportunity to flee......... This is what Duoduo wants, so that it will be much easier for him to occupy Jiangyin, and besides, can the infantry escape the cavalry?

Duoduo's move can be described as extremely insidious, first sending cavalry around the rear, which seems to be chasing Wang Guoxing's troops, but in fact it is just expanding the encirclement.

The city had been besieged on all sides, and the defenders knew about Dodor's brutal methods, so they had to risk their lives to defend it.

Now that the Qing army has withdrawn the troops on three sides, it directly makes the people in the city have a trace of delusion, thinking that it is not impossible to take the opportunity to escape.

If the original Jiangyin soldiers and civilians all had a certain heart of death in their hearts, then after a few days of fierce fighting, watching their friends who were drinking and chatting together in the morning turned into a cold corpse at night, even if it was an iron heart, it was almost unbearable.

The proportion of a quarter of the deaths has made the soldiers and civilians in the city gradually become fearful from the initial enthusiasm.

Now that there is a chance to escape from this dead city, most people have a trace of hesitation in their hearts, maybe the only thing that supports them to stay now is the pain of losing their loved ones, and the rest is the comfort given by Zheng Chenggong's 15,000 reinforcements.

It can be said that if the death rate in the city continues to rise, then the argument of breaking out will likely prevail.
