"Ruilin, Fu Kejing, you two lead eight hundred troops, give me to defend the west gate to prevent Wu Zhimao and Wu Sangui from attacking from both sides!" Seeing that the main force of the Wu army in the south had begun to assemble and was about to charge, He Ye hurriedly shouted and ordered: "Hu Libu, you will lead another eight hundred to the city to recruit young men to help defend the city, and at the same time arrange for people to demolish the houses for me, and demolish them for me along this city gate, and repel Wu Gou, who will be responsible for building new houses for them in the future!" The rest of the men are all left at the east gate and commanded by me! Remember, if you can't defend the city, not only will you be doomed, but even your wife and children who are far away in the capital will not have a good life! For your own sake, and for your parents, wives and children, no one is allowed to take a step back! The city is in the people, and the city is dead! ”

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!" The 6,000 Qing troops also knew their situation, and their fighting spirit slowly came up, shouting slogans for a decisive battle, and everyone quickly took their positions. The Qing army was 6,000 people, and the real Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers were 2,000 people, and the others were all Han Eight Banner soldiers. Although it is the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the real combat power is not inferior to that of the Eight Banners. Because Kangxi attaches great importance to Sichuan, when He Ye came out of the capital with more than 10,000 troops, he was equipped with the best ordnance, and the quantity was also sufficient. Although the previous battle was lost by ambush, the losses were all in the vanguard, and there was not much loss of food, grass and equipment.

Ruilin and Fu Kejing are both generals of the Eight Banners, and at this moment, Wu Zhimao in the west did not come to attack, but He Ye asked the two of them to take the soldiers of the Eight Banners to defend the West Gate, and it is very clear what the intention is. Hurib was taking 800 men to the city to collect strong men and demolish houses to gather stones and woodmines. In the end, the remaining 400 soldiers of the Eight Banners were taken out by him alone to form the Overseer or Reserve. It is used to supervise the battle and shuttle around the city wall to fill the gaps. Really resisted Wu Sangui's army at the East Gate. All of them were soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

This can also be said to be an encounter, the previous Wu army's expedition to Sichuan, the main general Wang Pingfan, set out from Guiyang, Guizhou, through Zunyi Mansion into Sichuan, and the first target they wanted to take was Chongqing Mansion, an important city in Sichuan. The Qing army led by Heye had already arrived in Chongqing when they set off from Guizhou, but because the Jianchang Mansion bordering Yunnan, which was later known as Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, had been taken by the Wu army, Heye went to the west to Xuzhou Prefecture, where the famous Wuliangye Distillery was located. Wang Pingfan learned that the imperial reinforcements were in the southwest, and when he encountered it, he sent 15,000 elite troops to chase after him, but He Ye did not expect to be defeated by Wu Zhimao's ambush halfway. fled back to Luzhou. Fortunately, the army of their eastern Wang Ping Domain also arrived at the same time, and a big battle was inevitable!

After a night of suffering, the Qing army's city defense equipment was almost ready. Fortunately, it was the city that they entered yesterday night, otherwise the Wu army would have attacked in a big way when they first entered the city, so it is difficult to say whether this city can be defended! Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was hazy, the Qing army had already begun to wait for the battle, and when the Qing army finished eating breakfast buns, the main force of the Wu army in the west had already rushed to the range of the bows and arrows of the defenders of Luzhou City.

"Kill!" Herye gave an order. Guns and arrows were fired at the east gate of Luzhou City, and he didn't even bother to aim. Directly shot at the head of the Wu army. It's not that Wang Pingfan doesn't want to use artillery in this siege, the thirty cannons in his army are still in the army heading to Chongqing, so he can only attack at this moment. Fortunately, he had already found out that the Qing army that entered the city yesterday evening was less than 6,000 people, and the morale of the defeated army was low. In addition, although the terrain of this Luzhou City is a little dangerous, the city wall is not high, and they have no problem with 15,000 elites to take this small city.

The leading Qing army general He Ye was also from a Manchurian family, and was the only support army sent to Sichuan by the imperial court. Wang Pingfan was full of confidence and issued a death order: everyone is only allowed to advance and not retreat, no matter what the cost is, they must break through Luzhou City and destroy all the imperial reinforcements!

At this time, he had already sent people to continue to inform Wu Zhimao to lead the army to attack from the west. Wang Pingfan is not a simple rough man, he also knows that there are 6,000 Qing troops in the city, and he knows that although this city is small, it cannot be taken at once. But it's not okay not to attack the city, there is a way to be a drum and then decline and exhaustion, their morale is strong at the moment, if they wait, tomorrow may not be like this!

The mountain road at the east gate of Luzhou City is densely packed with Wu soldiers like a large group of hornets and like a large group of locusts, roaring and rushing to Luzhou City like a tide, and the arrows of the Qing army fell, almost none of the arrows missed, most of them hit the Wu soldiers in the team, and the screams also echoed endlessly in the Wu army brigade, but the siege team of the Wu army was still advancing forward, and the Wu soldiers who were killed on the spot by the Qing army's bow and arrow did not even have a chance to fall to the ground and die. Shoulder-to-shoulder squeezed by his companions, squeezing the corpse and moving on.

"Bang bang bang!" When the Qing army rushed into the city wall within five meters, the Qing army on the head of the city not only did not stop the bow and arrow, but also began to exert its might, a piece of wood and a piece of boulder smashed down on the top of the head of the Wu army, smashed countless Wu soldiers to pieces, full of blood, such a siege bloody battle was very common in the past, but for the army with artillery, it would not take such a backward approach. The vanguard of the Wu army continued to fall and suffer heavy losses, but the pace of advance still did not stop. In fact, even if the soldiers of the Wu army were afraid and wanted to stop, they couldn't do it, and the companions behind them were still pouring in, squeezing and forcing them to continue to advance.

"Kill!" Finally, the Wu army rushed to the city of Luzhou, and the simple wooden ladder made of cutting down trees in advance was set up on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Wu army stepped on the ladder to climb up, and the large black pressure on the Luzhou city wall less than a mile wide was as dense as ants crawling full of sugar cubes, although the Qing army desperately smashed stones and trees, it was never able to completely prevent the Wu army from climbing up. The archers of the Wu army in the back also began to release arrows, shooting and killing the soldiers on both sides of the city wall regardless of the enemy, and a large number of soldiers of the Qing army also began to fall with arrows.

"Kill!" Finally, there were Wu soldiers who climbed the city wall fast enough, although the first dozens of Wu troops were attacked by the Qing army, and they didn't even see what the Qing army looked like, so they were immediately cut off and smashed by the Qing defenders, but as the Wu army's offensive became more and more fierce, more and more Qing soldiers gradually rushed to the city wall, and the edge of the city wall arrow battlements was full of swords and swords, and the screams continued one after another.

I have to admit that in the face of life and death, the soldiers of the Qing army did show quite amazing courage and perseverance, from beginning to end, no one took a step back, all brandished knives and guns to fight to the death with the Wu army, and the enemy stumbled and crawled on the city wall. But the same is true of the generals and soldiers on the Wu army's side, the Wu army, which has a high morale, fully demonstrates what it means to be elite at this time, no one is afraid to move forward, and the expression is extremely tenacious. Countless Wu generals led the charge, and the Wu soldiers also stepped on their corpses to charge upward, launching wave after wave of charges towards the head of Luzhou City like a flood.

In the face of such a fierce offensive of the Wu army, the Qing army's relatively strong defense line also began to crumble, and there were gaps in several defense lines, but there were 4,000 defenders at this city gate, and the Qing army was also fearless of death, and immediately plugged the gap. However, it is not that no one cowered in battle, but the four hundred warlords arranged by He Ye did not eat dry food, as long as they found it, they would shoot them on the spot without saying a word. Not to mention anything else, the Manchu Eight Banners are indeed much stronger than the soldiers of the Han Army Banner.

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!" The battle lasted for an hour, and the Wu army attacked the city more than a dozen times, but they were all quickly repulsed. Both sides have suffered heavy losses when they have killed here, relatively speaking, the Wu army has lost more, and the ratio of Internet access to the Qing army has almost reached two to one. I have to say that Heye's previous actions really boosted morale, and the carrots and sticks of the Qing soldiers resisted desperately and finally defended the city. Because of the fierce battle, He Ye, the commander of the Qing army, also slashed three Wu soldiers to death on the city wall, and even cut countless wounds, fully demonstrating his bravery to his subordinates.

"Ding, ding, ding!" There was a sound of gold, and the Wu army, which had failed to attack the city, quickly began to retreat. I have to say that the Wu army led by Wang Pingfan is worthy of being the elite of the Wu army, and it is very good to implement the temporary ban, compared to most of the current armies in the country, there are not many people who can do this.

"Wu Gou has retreated!"

"Wu Gou has retreated!"

"We won!"

"Win!"

There were loud cheers from the top of the city, one after another. He Ye did not order to go out of the city to pursue, Wu Sangui's army retreated, but the formation was not chaotic, if they caught up, the Wu army could just fight a counterattack, and when the time came, not only could they not make contributions, but they were also likely to lose the city. At this time, in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions of Luzhou, only the north may not be surrounded by the Wu army, and the passages in other directions have been blocked. To the west, in the direction of Yunnan and Tibet, they had just been ambushed and lost there. To the east is Chongqing, and it is obvious that the army in front of him was brought by Wang Pingfan from there. As for the south, they can't go without a boat on the Yangtze River, and in the end only the north remains. The north is deep in the mountains and dense forests, and even if you pass through it, there is no guarantee that the city there will not change hands. (To be continued......)
