Chapter 7: The Battle of Haicheng (4)

After two days of repeated and four failed sieges, although Zheng Chenggong had avoided storming Hayden, the casualties of the soldiers were still in the thousands.

Seeing that he had suffered heavy casualties, but Zheng Lian was still enjoying himself, Zheng Chenggong angrily sent Zheng Tai to ask Zheng Cai if the two armies should ally or not.

Zheng Cai heard that he sent Zeng De to appease Zheng Chenggong, and at the same time pressured Zheng Lian to come to fight.

Under Zheng Cai's strong pressure, Zheng Lian only brought the 5,000 soldiers and horses to help today.

It's just that "if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate", which is really a wise saying.

Not to mention the sneak attack plan that he had messed up before, in the afternoon of the same day, the two armies jointly attacked the city, and it was originally said that Zheng Chenggong was in charge of the south gate and the east gate, and Zheng Lian was in charge of the west gate.

However, as soon as Zheng Chenggong gathered the archers and fire commanders of the whole army to suppress the Qing army on the city wall, so that the infantry could attack the city more easily, Zheng Lian was defeated there.

Zheng Lian held more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the two armies, and the Qing army did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

So he did not send elite troops to suppress the town first, but directly sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city.

Seeing this scene, Qing general He Wenxing immediately ordered to lower the drawbridge, personally led 500 cavalry out of the north gate, bypassed and killed the Zheng coalition army, and killed anyone he saw.

Zheng Lian's siege team thought that He Wenxing dared to lead his troops out of the city to attack, and they were in chaos and scattered and fled.

Qing general He Wenxing is not Zheng Lian's idiot.

Capture the thief and capture the king first! The Qing general He Wenxing ignored those soldiers, led the cavalry to rush to the crowd, and killed Zheng Lian.

Zheng Lian, under the protection of thousands of personal soldiers, fled first in fear, and the leaderless Zheng Lian army suddenly collapsed.

It's just that the rout is nothing, but Zheng Lian did not lead the defeated army to retreat to the camp, but ran to Zheng Chenggong's Chinese army in a panic, and what was worse was that it was the five hundred cavalry led by the Manchu general He Wenxing.

Zheng Lian rushed to Zheng Chenggong's Chinese army first, unless Zheng Chenggong wanted to fight Zheng Cai to the death, otherwise he couldn't cut Zheng Lian with one sword.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong immediately sent the Huben battalion to entangle the Qing cavalry, and after Zheng Lian entered the Chinese army, let the Tiger Guard battalion stay in front of the army.

beheaded more than 100 people who disobeyed orders, so that Zheng Lian's defeated soldiers did not dare to rush the Chinese army again.

But in this way, Zheng Chenggong's Chinese army also stirred up a mess, and the Qing army took the opportunity to kill and wound more than 100 people of Zheng Chenggong, including more than 100 casualties in the Huwei battalion.

Later, He Wenxing saw that Zheng Chenggong had stabilized the formation, and there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he led the cavalry back to the city.

If this kind of thing happened, Zheng Chenggong would dare to let Zheng Lian's soldiers help again, and all of them would be sent to cut down trees to make siege equipment.

Three days passed, and Hayden was still firmly in the hands of the Qing army.

When Zheng Chenggong was thinking hard about a good plan, the spies who had already scattered around brought a piece of news that made Zheng Chenggong even more headache.

Qing reinforcements from Zhangzhou are about to arrive in two days.

Damn Zheng Lian, not to mention delaying the military plane, he almost broke up our Chinese army, and I didn't care about him for any big things.

If he saw that fuck, Zheng Chenggong wanted to punch him directly.

Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian don't have illusions anymore, and the Qing army reinforcements will arrive in two days.

Zheng Chenggong pondered, it seems that it is impossible not to attack.

Inside and outside Hayden City, the drums beat like thunder and the voices of people were boiling.

Today, Zheng Chenggong has decided not to leave behind, except for some spies, the whole army will attack the city.

Whether it's a success or a failure depends on today.

The archers and fire commanders of the whole army stood not far from the city wall, braving the rain of arrows to desperately suppress the Qing army, but standing on the high city wall, the Qing army's archers and artillery had the advantage, and the archers and fire commanders of the Zheng family army suffered heavy casualties.

The sacrifice of the archers was exchanged for the fact that the infantry rushed under the city walls without heavy casualties and erected ladders.

Under the city wall, the soldiers of the Zheng family army are densely packed with ants to enter the city, and behind them are a group of soldiers ready to replenish at any time, and the big stones, boiling oil, and gold juice on the city wall are raining down. From time to time, there were soldiers of the Zheng family army who screamed and fell to their deaths from the city and from the ladder, and in the blink of an eye, they drowned the soldiers behind.

Knock knock, dozens of strong men pushing a huge rushing car were slamming into the city gate, and the car didn't hit it.

"Boom!" The wooden slam slammed against the gates like a huge hammer with a deafening loud noise, and the gates shook with the walls.

On both sides of the city gate, two or three rushing cars that had been burned by the Qing army defending the city were being pushed aside by Zheng Jiajun.

The Zheng family army and the Qing army were fighting back and forth for control of the city wall, everyone's eyes were blood-red, and there seemed to be only one simple purpose in their minds, which was to block and kill the invading enemy by any means.

The corpses on the wall were everywhere, dyeing the city wall a blood-red, and the red blood couldn't help but add to the blackened bloodstains, and what you saw in front of you was like a hell on earth.

But no one had time to pay attention to this hell, and Zheng Chenggong continued to increase his troops. If you can't conquer Hayden despite the heavy casualties, then you will lose a lot this time.

Zheng Chenggong didn't care about how Zheng Lianhui would react afterwards.

Zheng Chenggong forcibly seized control of the Zheng coalition army, causing them to make a feint attack on the other city gates in order to disperse the Qing army.

The tidal wave of the Zheng army's offensive made the Manchu garrison He Wenxing tired, and the Zheng army's army attacked the city several times, relying on him to lead his own soldiers to block the eye, so that he could hold Hayden.

The Hayden City Gate was badly damaged, and the collapsed gap was not repaired by the Manchu Dynasty, and the Qing army that could fight was already fighting with the Zheng army on the city wall.

Just one step away from taking Hayden.

Zheng Chenggong saw that the city gate was collapsing, so he shouted loudly: "The city gate is about to break, the first person to enter the city will be promoted to one level, and the reward will be a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Hearing Zheng Chenggong's reward, the Zheng family soldiers all moved forward desperately.

With a "coax", the city gate was finally blasted open a gap under the continuous impact of the rushing cars.

The soldiers who were trying to storm the city saw that a gap had been opened in the city gate, and they immediately swarmed in, stepping on the corpses and struggling to kill inward.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Chenggong's heart that had been tense relaxed, and he could finally take down Hayden.
