Chapter 22 Watching the Battle at the Wall
At this time, the city wall was already crowded with people, there were Ming troops and people, more people, and the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions in the early morning had already awakened the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou City.
Shi Kefa, Ren Minyu, Liu Zhaoji and others had already come to the West Gate Tower early to watch the battle, and they were all very happy to see the armored vehicles rushing all the way to Duoduo's big tent.
Seeing that the two teams that went out of the city had already received the enemy, the soldiers and civilians on the city tower suddenly tightened their hearts, they faced too many Qing soldiers, and they could see it clearly on the city wall, compared with a large number of Qing soldiers on the opposite side, it was simply a small tofu block.
Shi Kefa saw that Ma Yingkui's men and horses were fighting with the Qing soldiers, and seeing that there were too many Qing soldiers, and they were still coming up from behind, his brows suddenly tightened, and he said to Ren Minyu beside him, "The people on the right are in danger!" Ren Minyu also looked nervous when he saw it.
Hurriedly looked to the left, and saw that Yi Bangcai did not rush to the enemy formation, but used a grenade to open the way, the Qing soldiers were blown up and fled straight back, both of them were overjoyed, Ren Minyu Chao Shi Kefa said: "With this sharp weapon, how can Shouqing not know how to use it?" ”
When he was worried, he saw that Ma Yingkui's side had already reacted, and he also used a grenade to open the way, which also blew up the Qing soldiers and fled in embarrassment, and the two of them were overjoyed, and at this time there were already cheers on the city wall.
"With this heavenly artifact, my Yangzhou City is safe! I'm hopeful! A young man who looked like a scholar finally squeezed in front of the city stampe, saw the scene in front of him clearly, and shouted loudly with joy, which immediately resonated in the surroundings.
"I hope they will drive the Tartars away from Yangzhou City, and we can live with peace of mind." This is a man who looks like a common man is saying. Although the words are simple, they are the voices of the people in the city.
"It's the season for planting, this Qing soldier will not retreat outside the city, my family's fields are deserted, if this tartar leaves, we will go home and grab seeds." The people who went from outside the city to the city to hide from the Qing soldiers were even more looking forward to the Qing soldiers retreating as soon as possible.
On a section of the city wall in the middle of the east and west gates, Li Qifeng, the chief soldier of Gansu, and Gao Qifeng, the supervising army, also stood in front of the city to watch the battle, seeing that the Qing soldiers were killed and fled backwards, the two glanced at each other, Li Qifeng approached Gao Qifeng and whispered: "The sharp weapons carried by these three people are really powerful, and the two of us fortunately did not go out of the city yesterday." How about I go to ask the superintendent for military orders, and my Gansu soldiers also go out of the city to kill for a while? It seems that the Zhongguan battalion has not cut the head of the Qing soldiers, and we went to cut it, which is also considered our military merit. ”
"The general is a little restless, there are many Qing soldiers, this burst of killing has not hurt its roots, I am afraid that we will have no chance of winning the battle, if the soldiers under him are killed and wounded, how can you and I gain a foothold in this Yangzhou city?" Gao Qifeng, who looks like a scribe, said with a gloomy face.
This plan to go out of the city and surrender to the Qing soldiers was put forward by him first, and Li Qifeng was frightened by the Qing soldiers and hit it off with him. originally wanted to hold Shi Kefa hostage and dedicate the entire Yangzhou City to Duoduo, but fortunately, he earned a lot of credit from the Qing soldiers, but because Li Qifeng was afraid that Shi Kefa's prestige in the city was too high, and he had the help of the loyal battalion, he had not been able to find a good opportunity to do it.
Yesterday morning, they had discussed with Li Qifeng, and they really couldn't hold Shi Kefa hostage, so the two of them took their four thousand Gansu soldiers out of the city to surrender to Duoduo, and before they were ready, Luo Jian and the three of them appeared under the city of Yangzhou. I heard everyone say that these three people were sent by God to save the soldiers and civilians in the city, but Gao Qifeng was half-convinced, the Qing soldiers killed countless people of the Ming Dynasty all the way, and they didn't see angels to save them, why did they appear under the city of Yangzhou?
Now seeing that the magic chariot rushed into the enemy camp as if it were in a no-man's land, even the men and horses of the Zhongguan battalion took the "thunder" they gave and defeated the Qing soldiers, if the men and horses outside the city returned victoriously, the morale of the soldiers under his command would inevitably rise greatly, and if they wanted to take all the 4,000 men and horses out of the city to join the Qing soldiers, I am afraid it is impossible; Staying in the city, he was worried that the plan to surrender to Qing would be known to Shi Kefa, Luo Jian and others, and he would be severely punished. Thinking of this, Gao Qifeng's heart was full of worries.
Liu Zhaoji held the telescope left by Luo Jian and carefully stared at Duoduo's big tent of the Chinese army, and saw a few people rushing into the big tent and hugging one person out of the big tent and getting on the horse, and then forty or fifty people ran towards the hillside behind together, and hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Luo Angel, Luo Angel, can you hear it?" I'm Liu Zhaoji! Dare to love Lao Liu forgot what Luo Jian taught him yesterday to say, "Please answer when you hear a call".
A crisp gunshot first came from the walkie-talkie, and then Luo Jian's voice was heard, "Lao Liu has something to say!" Lao Liu has something to say, please speak! Hearing Luo Jian call him Lao Liu, although Liu Zhaoji showed a strange look on his face, he felt cordial in his heart.
"The Dordor men have fled to the hillside in front of you, about a mile and a half away from you." Liu Zhaoji hurriedly told Luo Jian about Duoduo's whereabouts, and heard "Received, understood!" from the walkie-talkie. Lao Liu suddenly relieved his heart.
Shi Kefa turned his head to look at Liu Zhaoji, with an approving look on his face.
"Shi Ze, seeing that the Qing soldiers have been defeated, do you think they will retreat?" Shi Kefa asked Ren Minyu a little expectantly.
"Overseer, whether or not you can kill Duoduo in this battle, I think he will retreat." Ren Minyu replied quickly.
"Oh, why is that?" Shi Kefa didn't quite understand.
"We have this magic car in Yangzhou City, and there are many magic weapons, the Qing captives will not be able to attack the city only by ants, and they can only be beaten passively if they stay in the outer city of the city, and what can they do if they don't return?" Ren Minyu's analysis was very good, and Shi Kefa was overjoyed when he heard this passage.
"Not good! The Qing cavalry was dispatched, apparently to outflank the rear of our two men. Liu Zhaoji has been carefully observing the battlefield, and he has hardly taken off the telescope in his hand, this thing will be dizzy after looking at it for a long time, but he has always insisted on it, for fear of missing a certain detail.
Liu Zhaoji's shout woke Shi and Ren from joy, and Shi Kefa said first: "The Tartar cavalry is powerful, and the foot soldiers led by Ma and B may not be able to resist, and Ding Wei quickly recruited the divine chariot to help." ”
"The Tartar cavalry is already approaching, and the chariot is too far away, I am afraid that it will be too late to help." Liu Zhaoji saw the entire battlefield very clearly, and his words made Shi Kefa and the others feel like they were in their hearts again.
The soldiers and civilians on the city tower also saw the Tartar cavalry outflanking the two groups of men and horses, and there were bursts of exclamations from the city wall.
Although he felt that it was too late for the god car to come back, Liu Zhaoji still used a walkie-talkie to notify Luo Jian.
