Fuzhou North City, two teams of cavalry rushed out, more than 100 sentry cavalry scattered in the north gate to the east gate area, began to take the initiative to attack the Ming sentry cavalry, and at any time to pass the news back, these cavalry out of the city immediately divided into left and right wings, towards the east gate of the rock camp position, the cavalry army behind to more than 50 people in a team to form a strict formation, all with strong bows, superb horse speed, Azig can not suppress the call of the generals to ask for battle, and just now the Ming army an artillery salvo caused a lot of losses to the defenders of the city, If he came a few more times, he was only afraid that Fuzhou would be in danger, Azig knew that he could not be passively trapped, and seeing that there were not many cavalry on the other side, he sent people to Gaizhou for help, and on the other hand, he made up his mind to go out of the city to counterattack, and never let the Ming army attack the city with such a worry-free force.

The Ming army sentry cavalry began to retreat slowly towards the east gate under the threat of the Houjin cavalry, and the dragoon battalion and rescue battalion behind them reacted quickly, and they separated left and right to meet the cavalry, and there was a tightly formed team at the east gate to move towards the east gate, obviously to deter the defenders of the east gate did not dare to go out of the city easily, on the other hand, it was also to seize the flank of the golden cavalry after leaving the city, and the rescue battalion in the middle could be pinched at any time after the golden cavalry, and the Houjin cavalry on the right was obviously a little hesitant to see this scene, and the guerrilla battalion was never afraid of the impact of the cavalry. Rushing forward will only break the head and bleed, and the cavalry on the left has already quickly passed them and crashed into the Ming dragoon battalion......

A sharp trumpet sounded, and the two cavalry slammed together, the sound of weapons intersecting, bowstrings, and firecrackers rang out, and a moment later, the two teams of cavalry staggered past, leaving countless ownerless horses and corpses on the battlefield.

At the head of the East Gate, Azig looked at the battle below under cover. That Chahar had patted his chest before setting off and promised that he would be able to break the Ming army's formation in one fell swoop and attack the flank of the Ming army at the south gate. But it did not surprise Azig, although the cavalry battalion of the Ming army was less than a thousand people, there was no timidity in front of the warriors of the Houjin and Chahar tribes who were well-knighted. The two sides on the left flank turned their horses' heads again, and after the whole team, they raised the speed of their horses to the fastest, and soon, the two sides collided together like two long dragons. This time, because the Ming army did not have time to fill the firearms, the cavalry lost more than Houjin after the collision, and Azig visually measured that his side lost more than 30 horses. The Ming army lost more than fifty horsemen, but he soon found that the Ming army in the middle of the army sounded a loud swan sound, and the infantry on both sides began to slowly approach the cavalry on the right flank!

Seeing that Jia Lazhangjing, he didn't dare to attack the Ming army formation. Azig sighed. Said to the left and right: "Mingjin, let them come back!" You are all dead in the field of thought, and it is a great achievement to firmly hold Fuzhou. ”

Although the left and right who were watching the battle were reluctant in their hearts, they also knew that Bei Zi was right, and soon, a long horn sounded at the head of Dongcheng City, and the Houjin cavalry who heard the banner was slightly stunned, so they turned their horses' heads and covered each other and retreated towards the north gate. Some Ming troops chased after the place where they had just clashed, jumped off their horses and faced the Houjin cavalry. The wounded soldiers on the ground were hacked to death one by one, but what they were worried about did not happen, and the Ming infantry knew that they could not catch up, and even if they caught up, they would not be able to stay, and they had no intention of chasing after them, but watched them slowly retreat.

"Whew!"

Outside the east gate, the armor soldiers of the Ming army suddenly shouted in unison, the formation was tight, and a solemn atmosphere shocked the hearts of the defenders watching the battle.

South Gate

When Nie Cailin woke up, he found that he had returned to the rear ambulance, Nie Cailin sat up from the ground and touched his head, there was some dull pain on his forehead, but he had been tied with a white cloth, and it didn't seem to be bleeding.

"How's the moat filled?" Nie Cailin asked Wu Huawen, the instructor who rushed to hear the news.

Wu Huawen didn't speak, he pointed ahead, Nie Cailin ran to the mound to see, the city in front was still full of gunsmoke, but countless soldiers pushing the hitchhiker had approached the moat, this kind of hitchhiker was nailed into thick wooden planks, and it could be directly mounted on the moat, and there were many soldiers shouting trumpets behind them, pushing the heavy shield cart under the city gate in unison, and several ladders had been erected, and they were screaming with the ramming rod at the head of the city.

At this moment, the earth shook again, countless regiments of gunpowder smoke rose, and the artillery battalion fired another volley, beating the city head to scream again and again, and many Houjin soldiers holding the battering rod were bombarded with flesh and blood.

A staff officer of the Chinese army hurriedly ran over and said to Nie Cailin and Wu Huawen, who were watching the battle: "Why are you hiding here?" Hurry up, my lord ordered the first and second companies of the mountain infantry battalion to rearm and assist the protective battalion to seize the city! ”

Nie Cailin and Wu Huawen glanced at each other, Nie Cailin ripped off the bandages on his head, and shouted excitedly: "Go, go!" Hurry back to the battalion headquarters, the time has come for our battalion to make meritorious contributions! ”

By the moat, the soldiers of the flintlock battalion of the covering flintlock battalion and the head of the city fought more intensely, the defenders saw more and more Ming army ladders set up, regardless of life and death, desperately put arrows down, they were hit again and again and soon learned to behave, open the bow and take the arrows, fired, and immediately retracted the battlements after shooting the arrows, not giving the Ming army below the opportunity to aim at all, the shield car below, the hitchhiker was full of arrows, and there were constantly soldiers who were shot, fell to the ground and screamed loudly.

The flintlock pistol battalion is to take turns to shoot in the company, and the city wall is splashed with gravel, although the defenders counterattack quickly, but can not stand the continuous release of the Ming army's guns, several counterattacks were quickly suppressed, the city head was busy dragging away the corpses of those archers, and the soldiers who supplemented it cowered behind the battlements and did not dare to show their heads easily.

Less than half an hour before the last artillery firing was heard, the city once again resounded with a shrill sound, followed by artillery fire, which immediately enveloped the city, and large pieces of broken wall bricks rained down.

"Put two more rounds and get ready to go to the city!" Yang Bo, who was fighting in the distance, looked at the sky and ordered.

More than ten ladders have been erected on the south city of Fuzhou, and there are continuous ladders have been erected, the defenders at the head of the city have been completely suppressed, and they cannot fight back at all, Yang Bo believes that the morale of the defenders is low, and it is the time to go to the city with a bloody battle.

Outside the camp of the mountain infantry battalion, the soldiers of two companies sat on the ground, the total number of them was about 600 people, they were silently sorting out their equipment, and on the other hand, they were paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

"Hey!" The soldiers let out a huge sigh, and many soldiers who were buried in tidying up looked up one after another, the shield cart was hit by a piece of sasavel wood of several hundred catties, and the sawdust flew, and the shield cart immediately fell apart, and many soldiers hiding under the shield cart rushed back like frightened rabbits.

The mountain infantry battalion was temporarily reorganized from the reserve battalion after the Battle of Jinzhou, the soldiers were mostly Liaodong refugees and sergeants from the islands of the Dongjiang River, and the non-commissioned officers were mostly private school students, the battalion commander Nie Cailin often called himself an adult, although they had not formally experienced the battle, but the weekday training was even more cruel than the battalions of the Iron Fist Brigade, Nie Cailin since he heard from the adults about the purpose of establishing the mountain infantry battalion, he waved his hand and added countless mountain raid projects, making his subordinates miserable, which made many soldiers dissatisfied with the battalion commander, But most of these soldiers had a deep hatred for the Tarnus, and they had the courage to fight with the Tartars.

The instructors of each company and platoon nervously checked the equipment of the soldiers, and the two companies were divided into 12 combat groups and landed on the 12 ladders set up on the city wall in Nancheng, and the battalion instructor Wu Huawen was mobilizing before the battle.

"You are assisting the protective battalion to ascend the city, they are neatly armored and well-protected, the Tarslave bows and arrows do not pose much threat to them, there is also the support of muskets and artillery under the city, ten soldiers of the protective battalion and fifty soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion are responsible for a section of the city wall, as long as you go up the city wall, you must remember to occupy a section of the city wall, do not rush to expand the results of the battle, do not forget! As long as you hold it firmly, the soldiers of the flintlock battalion behind will come up to support you immediately, and when the flintlock battalion reaches the city wall, we can say that we have made the first contribution, understand? ”

"Got it!" The soldier shouted at the same time.

"Come here, let's discuss"

Wu Huawen beckoned the commanders of the two companies and said: "After the soldiers go to the city, you must set an example, don't follow others blindly, you even the platoon commanders must be clear about their tasks, and, if feasible, remember to concentrate the strength of the two companies to seize the south gate first, whether our mountain infantry battalion can shine in this battle, so that the adults value it depends on you!" Not only do we have to fight the majesty of our mountain battalion, but we also have to fight better than our brothers in the Iron Fist Brigade......"

A quarter of an hour later, all the artillery of the artillery battalion roared in unison again, due to the replacement of scattered shells, after this salvo, after the smoke of gunfire dissipated, the defenders could not be seen at the head of the city, for the sake of safety, the artillery battalion fired three consecutive volleys, and the entire southern city head was swallowed up by artillery fire.

The war drums beat excitedly, the soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion walked towards the ladder in the whole team, the instructors and platoon commanders of each platoon led fifty people towards their own ladders, the soldiers pressed a little panicked, and some faintly looked forward to the mood, when passing by the soldiers of the flintlock battalion full of gunpowder, those soldiers were still engrossed in aiming at the head of the city, and under the ladder, many soldiers of the protective battalion with full armor had big knives on their backs, and they had begun to climb the ladder one after another, and only two eyes were exposed. The brothers who were wrapped in iron armor played the front, and the uneasiness in the hearts of the soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion was thrown out of the clouds......
