When Jiala Ezhen Bosil led hundreds of his men to turn over and kill in the city, the commander of the Qing army, Duoduo, was looking in the direction of Yangzhou City with a deep frown.

The gap in the west city of Yangzhou, which was blasted by the red-clothed cannons, was like a bottomless pit, devouring a large number of Manchurian warriors. Duoduo has been sent into the Eight Banners Army of thirty-five Niu Lu in a row, which is more than 10,000 Eight Banner warriors! But the battle flag of the Ming army on the city wall was still fluttering.

The total number of Eight Banners under Duoduo is less than 50,000, and they have lost three or four thousand under the attack of the Daishan Army, and now the Manchu, Han and Mongolian Eight Banners have added up to 45,000 people, and now they have been sent into the city for a quarter, but they have not even captured the city wall, what are they doing? Could it be that the resistance of the Ming army in the city was so strong?

Just when Duoduo was feeling uneasy, several cavalrymen returned from Yangzhou City one after another, reporting to him one bad news after another.

"Report to the prince, the Ming army has built a large number of barricades in the city, and Nikambel is leading the army to attack. Our army suffered heavy casualties! ”

"Report to the prince, the Ming army has built low walls on the top of the two walls of the gap, as a basis to block the attack of our army, our army is attacking the city wall, but because the ruins of the city wall are rugged and difficult, it is seriously not conducive to our attack."

"Report to the prince, the enemy army used 10,000 enemy firearms to attack my soldiers in the ruins of the gap, and our army suffered heavy casualties!"

One herald after another returned, describing the situation on the battlefield to Duoduo, and the tragic attack of the Eight Banners seemed to be reflected in front of Duoduo's eyes.

I didn't expect the Ming army in Yangzhou to be so tenacious, the city wall has been broken, why haven't they collapsed?

Duoduo thought nervously, there were already a lot of troops thrown in from the gap, and he couldn't continue to throw troops in. Presumably, most of the strength of the Ming army was involved near the gap in the West City, so I will open another battlefield in other directions!

Through the information sent by Wang Lin, a wealthy merchant in the city some time ago, Duoduo knew that the total number of troops in the city was more than 20,000 people. Now there are more than 10,000 Eight Banners sent into the city, and with the combat power of the Eight Banners, the Ming army in the city can only barely resist the attack of the Eight Banners even if the whole army presses up, and there are definitely not many defenders in other directions!

"The order was sent to transfer 100,000 soldiers from the green battalion of Xu Dingguo, Li Chengdong, Zhang Tianlu, Liu Zhong and other troops to attack Nancheng with all their might. Tell them that whoever is the first to storm the city will ask the regent to be crowned king!" Tell all the green battalion soldiers who are besieging the city that Yangzhou is broken, and they are allowed to enter the city at the same time as the Eight Banners, and they will not be sealed within ten days! ”

After a brief moment of thought, Dodor gave the order.

Although there are still more than 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers in their hands, they can no longer be dispatched, which is the basis for suppressing more than 200,000 surrendered troops! The southern city has not been broken, if you want to attack the city, you must brave the arrow rain artillery attack at the head of the city to fill the moat, and then use the ladder ants to attack the city, now there is no time to transfer the cannon to the south gate to break the city wall, this kind of siege is extremely attritional, and the warriors of the Eight Banners naturally can't be consumed in this kind of place!

"Boluo, you lead the cavalry of the three thousand Eight Banners to press the formation in the rear, and if the siege of the city is not conducive to greed for life and fear of death and shrinkage, they will be beheaded!" Dodor commanded.

"Yes, lord." With a strange roar, Belleborough led the three thousand cavalry of the Eight Banners to sweep away like a storm.

Under the attack from both sides, I see how you Yangzhou can resist? Dodor thought viciously.

More than 200,000 green battalion soldiers are waiting in the camp, and the Manchurian masters have already entered to enjoy themselves, when will it be their turn? When they received the order to attack Nancheng, many of the Green Battalion soldiers immediately cheered, completely unaware of the difficult danger they were about to encounter.

Hasn't the city been breached, the Ming army in the city must be in a panic, even if there is a slight resistance, how can it resist the more than 200,000 troops?

In the hearts of the vast majority of green battalion soldiers, they have no concept of home and country at all, and they are completely unaware that they are their blood-related comrades in Yangzhou City, and they are being traitors and helpers.

In the hearts of many green battalion soldiers, being a soldier is to eat food, and fighting is to loot. The Lord who pays them is their heaven, and what is the court? The main general surrendered, followed by surrender, that is, change the banner and continue to be a soldier and eat food!

Now that the city of Yangzhou has been broken, think of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, endless wealth, and white and tender women, many soldiers have a huff in their mouths.

There was no need for the officers to urge, and the green battalion soldiers rushed to the south of Yangzhou. More than 200,000 green battalion soldiers were dispatched, and the array formed by more than 100,000 people can be described as overwhelming!

Seeing the boundless array of Qing troops coming towards the southern city, the Ming troops on the city wall were frightened one by one. The main force of the Daishan Army has been transferred to the city to encircle and suppress the Eight Banners who entered the city, and there are only 3,000 Ming troops under Hu Shangliang, the general soldier of the Sichuan Army, and more than 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers on the southern city wall.

The battle in Yangzhou City was extremely fierce, the Eight Banners soldiers who entered the city had broken through several barricades, and the Daishan Army relied on the cooperation of muskets and spears to barely hold on, and the number of soldiers killed was almost as many as the Eight Banners. Although after more than half a year of training, the infantry of the Daishan Army is already an army with strict discipline and strong combat skills, but it is still far from the professional Eight Banners soldiers who were born to hone their combat skills.

Hearing that more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers were about to attack the southern city, Ren Siqi hurriedly ordered to mobilize the newly established bow battalion to defend to the south. The attack on Nancheng was all green battalion soldiers, most of whom had no armor, which was a good place for these novices to practice their bow skills.

The strength of Nancheng is dominated by the Sichuan army, but Ren Siqi is not very relieved about Hu Shangyou, the general soldier of the Sichuan army, mainly because Hu Shangyou can't see through what he is thinking all day long. Now that the Qing army has entered the city, and more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers will attack the southern city again, will Hu Shangyou have the courage to fight the Qing army, or will he open the city and surrender?

After thinking about it, Ren Siqi decisively ordered a battalion of Daishan Army infantry to be drawn out, and a part of the artillery was dispatched to reinforce Nancheng. Before leaving, he gave an order to Yingzheng Chen Mingyang, as long as Hu Shangyou made the slightest move, he would be killed immediately!

There are more than 10,000 recruits in Nancheng, and the officers who lead these recruits are all veterans of the Daishan Army, and there are 1,000 veterans of the Daishan Army who have been sent, so there should be no problem!

Just when Ren Siqi was thinking, someone suddenly came to report that a group of more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers broke into the city, was rampage in the city, and was killing the general at the governor's yamen, Ren Siqi was shocked when he heard this.

"Gather all the guards and follow me to exterminate this Eight Banners!" After a short period of thought, Ren Siqi immediately ordered to assemble the only remaining five hundred guards in the Governor's Mansion and head in the direction of the incoming Eight Banners! (To be continued.) )
