Seeing the Zheng family's army attacking, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to go down first, leaving only a few soldiers hiding on the women's wall to check.

Although Liu Zhiyuan is arrogant, he is not a fool to be able to climb to the position of General Dingnan.

From the soldiers who fled back, he learned about the process of the fall of Wenzhou.

Combined with the previous defeat of the Qing army, Liu Zhiyuan found that the Zheng army could win the Qing army three or four times, and the most important reason was that the Zheng army's artillery was very fierce.

The Qing army was simply incapable of fighting, and the city walls could no longer play a protective role under artillery bombardment.

Liu Zhiyuan thought about it again and again, and definitely put the Zheng family army on the city and started a hand-to-hand strangulation battle at the city head.

As long as the two armies fought together, Liang Zheng Chenggong would not dare to bombard the city with artillery again, causing indiscriminate deaths on both sides of the enemy.

Liu Zhiyuan planned to use a war of attrition to wear out Zheng Chenggong's soldiers and horses.

The Manchus had an army of more than a million people, and there were more than a dozen provinces where people could be drawn to replenish their troops and horses.

But how many are Zheng Chenggong?

It's just a province, and since ancient times, Fujian has few fields, so it can't afford to support so many people.

After his army is consumed, how many more soldiers and horses can he pull up?

Only hold on to Hangzhou for a month or two, and the Manchu reinforcements will inevitably rush over to support.

At that time, it will be interesting to see where Zheng Chenggong can be arrogant.

If he knows each other, he will obediently retire from the army, and he can still retain some strength.

As long as Zheng Chenggong can be repelled and Hangzhou can be held, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely pay more attention to themselves, and it will definitely be indispensable to make a wish for the official.

When Liu Zhiyuan fell into a fantasy, the artillery fire of the Zheng family army swept the city.

Some of the Qing soldiers hiding on the women's wall were killed by the fragments of artillery fire, while some were shocked to death by the fierce artillery fire when they were lying on the ground, and black blood gushed from their nostrils.

In the continuous artillery fire, many Qing soldiers who stayed behind on the female wall could not stand the shadow of death, and ran down the city with rolling belts.

Before they had gone far, a cold light flashed, and the heads of these Qing soldiers flew into the air.

Liu Zhiyuan looked coldly at the Qing soldiers behind him and shouted: "Those who dare to escape without permission, kill!" ”

The Qing soldiers on the female wall suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of artillery, and there were not many surviving Qing soldiers in the city.

Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly assigned a team of Qing soldiers to go up to the city to monitor the movements of the Zheng family army outside the city.

The Qing soldiers under the city saw the continuous explosions at the head of the wall, and they didn't dare to go up at all.

Liu Zhiyuan didn't say a word, and immediately ordered that the team of Qing soldiers, totaling more than 120 people, be killed.

"Those who don't listen to the general's orders, kill!"

More than one hundred and twenty heads rolled on the ground like this, and the blood rendered the green bricks, and the rest of the Qing soldiers looked terrified.

The other team of assigned Qing soldiers, under Liu Zhiyuan's cold eyes and the bright broadsword of the supervision team, could only climb up to the top of the city tremblingly.

Many of them had not yet reached the city wall and were already being torn apart by the bombing, and some Qing soldiers were frightened to madness when they saw this terrible scene, crying and rolling down the city.

All the Qing soldiers who dared to retreat were ruthlessly killed by Liu Zhiyuan.

The artillery fire of the Zheng family army continued to bombard for more than ten minutes, and only when the soldiers of the forward battalion rushed to the bottom of the city did they stop the shelling.

At the city gate, as the letter fire burned out, there was a loud bang, and the city gate of Hangzhou collapsed.

Seeing the city gate collapsing, Zheng Jiajun was about to rush inside, when he was suddenly dumbfounded.

The gates were full of hard stones, so that not even a fly could fly over the narrow gates.

Unable to rush through the city gates, the forward battalion had to wait for the ladder to attack the city equipment.

The ladder was on the city wall, the cart was close to the wall, and Zheng Jiajun shouted a sharp knife in his mouth and quickly climbed up.

Seeing that the artillery fire had stopped, the Zheng family army was killed, and the Qing soldiers watching the city were busy beating gongs and drums.

When Liu Zhiyuan heard the sound of gongs and drums, he was busy and shouted: "Go to the city and block the Haikou." Those who dare to run away will be killed without mercy, and their families will be registered as untouchables. As long as you can repel the enemy army, Lao Tzu will be rewarded. ”

Hearing the order and seeing that the artillery fire had stopped, the Qing soldiers also mustered up the courage to rush to the city.

When the soldiers of the Zheng family saw the Qing soldiers, they roared forward and fought with the Qing soldiers.

Zheng Jiajun was well-trained and well-equipped, and the Qing army was determined to die under Liu Zhiyuan's cool method.

The two armies met in close combat at the head of the city, and a real hand-to-hand battle ensued.

The spear pierces you in the abdomen, and the knife cuts off the enemy's head; If you are hit by several arrows and do not fall, you still have to compete for the first place with a broken limb;

The sound of steel knives entering flesh and the sound of blood spraying are endless.

The sound of shouting and killing, the clashing of weapons, and the sound of horns resounded in the sky, and both soldiers and generals were fighting for their own survival.

The space at the head of the city is narrow, and the army can't be used here at all.

On the city wall, dense soldiers of the Zheng family army are ascending the city with ants, and behind them are groups of soldiers ready to replenish at any time.

In the inner city, there is also a steady stream of Qing soldiers running out of the hidden soldier cave and going up to the city wall to replenish.

At the head of the city, the Zheng and Qing armies, which were roughly the same number, fell into chaos in a small place.

The scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the soldiers in the middle of the fierce battle had no time to think about it at this time.

A few damp wisps of summer wind blew through, blowing away the thick smell of blood.

Toot ~~ Toot ~~! "Boom~Boom~"

The sound of war trumpets and war drums inside and outside the city was loud and angry, but the soldiers fighting desperately on both sides seemed to be a little numb.

Liu Guoxuan also climbed to the head of Hangzhou and rushed to the front line.

Liu Guoxuan held a rattan armor shield in one hand, waved a knife in the other, slashed left and right, like a fierce tiger, the whole person seemed to crawl out of the river of blood, and Yin Red was like a fierce god.

Seeing the continuous replenishment of Qing soldiers, Liu Guoxuan's heart became more and more anxious - it took most of the day.

It was not easy to climb to the top of the city, if these Qing soldiers could not be killed, and the successors could not come up, there was no way to seize control of the city wall.

"Quick, quick, kill Lao Tzu!"

Liu Guoxuan struggled to engage the defenders, and at the same time, he hoarsely beckoned his subordinates to kill him quickly and retreat the Qing soldiers.

Seeing that the Zheng family's army was in a bitter battle at the head of the city, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly ordered the cooled artillery to fire again.

The artillery fire was extended, and the artillery fire was vented in the city.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong couldn't care about the safety of the people in the city.

If they couldn't stop the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Qing army and help the Zheng army on the head of the city to gain an advantage, the Zheng army would not be able to capture the city wall and enter the city.

Liu Zhiyuan had expected this situation, and a few days earlier, he had already asked people to dig hundreds of caves under the city wall and inside the city.

Zheng Jiajun's round of artillery fire, except for a few Qing soldiers who were killed, did not cause much damage to the Qing soldiers.

After a round of artillery fire, seeing that the Qing soldiers were still constantly supporting the fierce battle at the head of the city, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army were losing little by little at the head of the city, Zheng Chenggong was in a hurry.

Yao Qisheng hurriedly said to Zheng Chenggong: "General, it can't go on like this. Qing general Liu Zhiyuan wanted to use the tactics of adding fuel to consume our army's soldiers and horses. I can't go on like this anymore, quickly Mingjin retreats from the army, and then he does his tricks! ”

Zheng Chenggong also knew that he couldn't fight like this anymore, and he was just about to drink the herald Ming Jin.

Suddenly, there was a sudden change in the city of Hangzhou, and the flames in the city soared into the sky, and the fire captured the sun, which was very huge. (To be continued.) )
