Chapter 389: Nancheng (Addition, Ask for Subscription)
Looking at the full soldiers rushing over from the opposite side, Li Xingjiu, who was beside Ren Siqi, had a green light in his eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Since he was a personal guard by Ren Siqi's side, he had never had a good fight, and this fierce full soldier suddenly aroused Li Xingjiu's strong fighting spirit.
Pulling out a long sword, Li Xingjiu jumped out to block in front of Ren Siqi, at this moment he had forgotten that he was a pro-guard camp, and he only thought about wanton fighting.
Ren Siqi reluctantly put down the flintlock short gun in his hand, and Li Xingjiu happened to block the route he was aiming. Xiong Er and his three guards were tightly guarded in front of Ren Siqi, staring at the full soldier who was fighting with Li Xingjiu with two bull's eyes.
Li Xingjiu himself has superb martial arts, and later practiced sword skills with Yamada Futaro for more than half a year, and he is no longer under Yamada Fengtaro in terms of combat power alone, and often boasts that he is the first master of Daishan.
However, he didn't realize that his martial arts could only be used in battles, and were not very suitable for battlefield fighting. Take it as an example, Li Xingjiu slashed several knives in a short period of time, and the knife moves were exquisite, but he didn't know that Bo Xile on the opposite side didn't dodge, but just swung his mace and slashed down viciously.
Feeling the evil wind blowing in his face, Li Xingjiu knew that it was unstoppable, and with a flick of his wrist, he slashed the opponent's chest, and dodged it when the mace was about to die. The sword made a deep mark on Bosil's armor, but it did not even cut the first armor.
Glancing at Li Xingjiu with contempt, Bosile took a step forward and slashed across with a mace. The so-called one force will drop ten times, in front of Bo Xile, who is infinitely powerful and wearing several layers of armor, Li Xingjiu's wonderful martial arts are not used at all, and he is split and retreats again and again.
Seeing that Li Xingjiu couldn't resist the full army, Xiong Er roared angrily and waved the thick-backed machete in his hand to meet him, with his physique and Bo Xile had a fight, but his experience in fighting was much weaker than Bo Xile. With just a mace, Bo Xile swept Xiong Er's machete away, and smashed Xiong Er's shoulder with another stick.
The leaves flew away, Xiong Er felt a click on his shoulders, and half of his body became numb, and the heavy blow stimulated his ferocity, thinking about Xiucai standing behind him, Xiong Erhu, who was quite cowardly in the past, roared and pounced, and hugged Bosil's body tightly with a hand that could move.
Bossile shook it hard but didn't shake Xiong Er, so he hit back with a mace, and the handle of the mace hit Xiong Er's back hard.
"Poof" Xiong's mouth opened, and a mouthful of blood sprayed Bosil's face.
Li Xingjiu saw the right time, and took advantage of the fact that Bo Xile's eyes were covered with blood, and stabbed Bo Xile in the neck.
The fighting was fierce and went on quickly. The incense stick came to an abrupt halt, leaving only corpses everywhere and blood flowing like streams all over the streets. Almost half of the five hundred guards died, and only then did they wipe out the more than two hundred Eight Banner soldiers. The number of people is twice that of the other party, and the casualty ratio has reached one to one, this is still the most elite soldier in the Daishan army, Ren Siqi's personal guard battalion!
didn't have time to sigh more, and glanced at the seriously injured Xiong Er worriedly, Ren Siqi took the two hundred direct guards who could still move and went to Nancheng, as for Xiong Er and other wounded, they were naturally treated by military doctors.
At this time, the southern city was already covered with dark clouds. More than 100,000 Green Battalion soldiers swarmed in and launched a frantic attack at the beginning.
Because the western city wall of Yangzhou has been broken, these green battalion soldiers instinctively think that Yangzhou has gone to the general trend, so they burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, thinking of entering the city as soon as possible to wantonly wash it.
There was no need for the generals who led the troops to urge, one by one they carried mud bags and ladders to the moat, and the overwhelming queue swept towards the south of Yangzhou like locusts.
"Hurry up and release the arrows, release the arrows!" Hu Shangyou, the chief soldier of Sichuan, looked at the green battalion soldiers who were overwhelming, his face turned pale with horror, and he gave orders again and again.
"Don't be busy, wait!" Chen Mingyang on the side stopped him, the green battalion soldiers hadn't run to the moat yet, and it was hell that they could shoot at such a distance.
The archers were not busy shooting for the time being, but the artillery was in full swing.
Nancheng originally had five red-coated cannons, plus more than 30 artillery pieces of various types, including the Furlong machine and the tiger squat cannon. Another hundred guns were being unloaded from the ship and urgently transferred to the city.
Seeing the Qing soldiers entering the range of the artillery, the artillerymen opened fire one after another.
Shells fell like meteors into the ranks of the Green Battalion soldiers, knocking them on their backs.
Although they were surprised why the Ming army at the head of the city had not yet been defeated, the green battalion soldiers were still full of fighting spirit, and the desire to enter the city to loot filled their brains and controlled their bodies.
There are also people who understand among the generals of the green battalion, Li Chengdong looked at the city head worriedly, and ordered his subordinate soldiers to be steady.
"What's wrong?" General soldier Hu Maozhen glanced at Li Chengdong in surprise.
"I always feel that something is wrong, it is said that the West City has been broken, and the Ming army in the city should flee in panic or surrender." Li Chengdong stared at the head of Yangzhou City two miles away, and the sound of cannons in his ears was so rhythmic and calm.
"When you say that, I think something is wrong." Hu Maozhen carefully observed the Ming army at the head of the city with a clairvoyant mirror and agreed with Li Chengdong's words.
Hu Maozhen and Li Chengdong are both the chief soldiers under Gao Jie, and their relationship has always been close. Since the soldiers under the two of them have stabilized, other generals of the former Gao Jie Department, such as Yang Chengzu and Guo Hu, have also slowed down.
The other Green Battalion generals didn't feel anything unusual at all, and happily went to Yangzhou to kill!
In fact, Duoduo's order to attack the southern city of the Green Battalion was really hasty, because he did not appoint a commander in charge of the whole situation at all. Out of anxiety, Duoduo detained the original commanders of the Green Battalion, such as Liu Liangzuo, and Admiral Li Benshen, the supreme leader of the Gao Jie Department, by his side. As a result, nearly 200,000 surrendered Green Battalion soldiers were led by dozens of deputy generals of the general army, and they were not subordinate to each other.
Now the more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers sent by Duoduo are rushing towards Yangzhou in a swarm, regardless of the vanguard and rearguard, nor the order of the siege.
Perhaps in Duoduo's opinion, the best effect is to make the Ming army in the city tired of coping with the frenzied attack of the army, and as for the heavy losses that the Green Battalion will suffer as a result, Duoduo will not consider it.
To tell the truth, in Duoduo's eyes, the number of surrendered Ming troops was too many, many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled without combat effectiveness, and so many soldiers stayed in the army and were a pure waste of food. If he had his hands free, the first thing Dodor would do was to eliminate more than half of them, leaving only the most powerful elite among them.
Therefore, in Duoduo's heart, he did not have the intention of consuming part of the green battalion soldiers by the hands of the Ming army.
The speed of the more than 30,000 green battalion soldiers belonging to Gao Jie's department slowed down, and most of the other green battalion soldiers had rushed to the moat under the artillery fire of the city head, and they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows from the city head.
