I have to say that Li Hongfei got an oolong this time, originally he agreed with Guo Sheng to launch a signal flare when he broke through, and Li Hongfei sent someone to respond, but he didn't expect that the army guarding the city also used signal flares as emergency contact information, and at this time Guo Sheng was still by Shi Kefa's side, watching Shi Kefa command the defensive battle at the north gate!

After learning that the south gate was broken, Shi Kefa wanted to support the south gate as soon as possible, but unfortunately he couldn't leave the north gate either. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Earlier, Duoduo was not in a hurry, commanding his artillery team to fire at the artillery in the city, but with a loud bang at the south gate, the Qing infantry at the north gate also seemed to be crazy, rushing up, through the fire network of the cannons, until they rushed to the base of the city wall.

The Qing army at the north gate also launched a general attack.........

The Qing army came to the bottom of the city wall, and the Ming army finally grasped the instantaneous initiative, because the archers of the Ming army could shoot directly at those attackers under the city, and the grenades were the nightmare existence of these Qing troops.

However, this time, the Qing army fought to the death, and it was obvious that at this time, Duoduo had ordered his soldiers to seize the north gate at any cost.

Whenever a Qing soldier fell, another person would be replaced, and if the identity could be counted at this time, Shi Kefa would find that most of these Qing soldiers who died or were about to die were officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who had been defeated and captured before.

However, Duoduo doesn't care so much at all, as a coat, either die on the battlefield or make war exploits, otherwise you will never want to return to the identity of a normal person, even if you are a Manchurian.

Soon, the corpses were piled up higher and higher, and some Qing soldiers were able to climb the walls without even a ladder.

The news of the breach of the south gate had already made the defenders of the city uneasy, and as the Qing soldiers increased more and more, the defenders began to panic.

Many of the guards along the fortifications of the city walls scrambled to jump onto the wooden batteries to climb to the nearest roofs and escape.

In many places, the forts collapsed due to the number of soldiers climbing, and the defenders of the city were killed, if not crushed, in the ensuing hand-to-hand combat.

Immediately afterward, this panic spread in the city.

Whether it was because of the agitation of traitors (King Fu and others), or because of some rumors (some people say that the defenders thought that the Qing army was some reinforcements sent by General Huang Degong), so soon, the east gate was also abandoned by the soldiers in the city.

With the influx of Qing troops, the soldiers of the Southern Ming abandoned their helmets and spears and fled to the south gate in disarray, trying to escape from that direction.

Survival is the instinct of human beings, there is heavy artillery at the north gate, and the east gate has given up resistance, although the south gate is broken, but the enemy over there has no heavy artillery, and not far from the south gate is the Yangtze River, and the chance of escaping there will also increase.

Others, knowing that the city was completely surrounded, simply did not hold out any hope.

King Fu originally wanted to send troops to capture Shi Kefa, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind, just gathered a part of the village warriors and the defeated soldiers, and began to deploy defenses near the official residence in order to protect himself, and by the way, he waited for the Qing army to take over Yangzhou City.

"General Liu, the north gate is temporarily handed over to you, you must give me an hour, I will lead the army to attack from the south gate, and attack the Qing army on the flank, at that time, you and I should be together inside and outside, success or failure in this move!" Shi Kefa explained to Liu Zhaoji.

"Rest assured, the superintendent will serve his death!" Liu Zhaoji replied.

Just as the soldiers defending the city were throwing off their armor and busy looking for a hiding place in the city's houses, Shi Kefa left his fort at the north gate and led two thousand soldiers through the inner city to the south gate, hoping to join Stilwell's troops, kill them from there, and then attack the Qing army from the flank.

Guo Sheng followed closely behind, waiting for an opportunity to break through.

Shi Kefa's idea was good, but unfortunately it was too late, earlier Steve could still rely on the city gate to confront the Qing army, although the battle was tragic, but under the suppression of grenades, the Qing army never really gained a foothold at the city gate.

But with the rout troops gathered from all over the place, they collectively rushed in from the rear, and in an instant, Stilwell's camp was scattered.

The Ming army couldn't bear to attack their compatriots, but the Qing army didn't care so much, and under a random cut, the rout army was finally killed and began to flee into the city, which directly dispersed Stilwell's scattered camp.

Stilwell himself was coerced by the rout and retreated into the city, and the Qing army took the opportunity to rush up and completely take the south gate.

Looking at the defeated soldiers, Shi Kefa finally realized that he had lost Yangzhou, and resistance might be meaningless.

Seeing that the rout army was about to rush towards the only neatly lined Ming army, and Shi Kefa was in a state of confusion, Guo Sheng immediately made a decision and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, the pikemen are in front, the sword and shield hands are on the side, and the archers are in the center, in a breakthrough formation, any personnel facing our army, whether they are enemies or me, kill!" ”

Although Guo Sheng has not heard this sentence, he understands the truth, the current situation is terrible, and if he continues to stay in the city, he will definitely die.

The way out of the city was blocked by the Qing army and a group of routs, and if the rout soldiers were allowed to rush over, the only 2,000 troops under Shi Kefa would soon become one of the routs.

After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Guo Sheng gave the order to kill.

The Qing army used the ruthless slaughter to drive a group of routed soldiers who wanted to leave the city into the city again, and Guo Sheng also used this method to try to drive these routs out of the city again.

As for the rout, at this time it is about the same as a flock of frightened sheep, and whoever wields the whip badly, they will listen to whomever he wants.

"Don't fight, rush to the past! Master Shi is here, if you want to live, rush out of the south gate with me! While Guo Sheng ordered the army to rush and kill, he made people shout loudly to collect the nearby rout.

He didn't know how many Qing troops there were outside the city, just in case, he needed more soldiers to storm the south gate together, even if it was a rout..........

Soon, Shi Dewei, who had been scattered by the rout, also led the only 100 remaining soldiers to join Guo Sheng's team.

"Father-in-law, are you alright?" Seeing that Shi Kefa's expression was wrong, Stilwell said with some worry.

"The city is in the people, the city is ruined, Dulwich, do your father a favor, kill your father, you each run for your life." Shi Kefa is determined to die.

"Father-in-law, no!" There was no way Stilwell could have done such a thing.

At this moment, Shi Kefa suddenly pulled out the Shang Fang sword he was wearing and wanted to kill himself.

And Guo Sheng has been guarding by the side, how can he let Shi Kefa commit suicide, directly take away the sword, and stun him with a palm knife.

"What are you going to do?" Stilwell glared angrily.

"Don't worry, it's just a fainting, take care of the overseer, and the rest will be said when you rush out." Guo Sheng threw Shang Fang's sword to Stilwell, and led the team to the front of the camp to organize a charge.

Guo Sheng led the troops, using the shock formation, and rushed violently, and finally chiseled through the rout of the army less than five hundred meters away from the city gate, and at this time, including the rout troops gathered around, scattered and scattered, it was close to three thousand people.
