The moon in the sky was gradually obscured by the clouds, and when the night became thicker and thicker, there was a faint sound of tapping in the air, but because Zheng Jun wrapped cotton cloth on the hammer, the sound of tapping was not crisp, and even in the night, it could not be transmitted too far, so it did not arouse more vigilance of the Qing army. Shi Lang did not wait for the Qing army to attack him, but led the army to take the initiative in turn, originally he thought that he would attack Suzhou City by surprise, if he could knock Suzhou City down, it would be the best, if not, he would also give the Qing army a huge blow, so that Nareta did not dare to lead the army to attack Jiaxing and Huzhou and other cities that they had taken at will. What he lacks now is also time, Taiwan still has to have reinforcements, he must withstand at least half a month, otherwise all the territory they gained before will be in vain.

But before attacking Suzhou City, Huzhou must also be taken, and the importance of Huzhou is no less important than Suzhou for their Zheng army. In fact, among the Zheng army, Shi Lang was a little opposed to the Zheng army's attack on Zhejiang at the beginning, which was completely to block the gun for Geng Jingzhong's Mawei army, which would attract the attack edge of the Qing army. However, Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua, the military advisor, unanimously agreed to send troops to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he had no choice but to take the order.

Zheng Jing also has his considerations, at this time, between the two opponents of the Mawei Army and the Qing Army, he must choose one, if he chooses the Mawei Army, the huge Mawei Navy alone makes him daunted, the Mawei Navy is his inability to fight, and the Mawei Navy can threaten his lair. However, the Qing army was different. The sailors of the Qing army have already experimented. Then they could only cross the small ditch of the Yangtze River, and when they reached the sea, it was full of waste materials, and they did not have to worry about the Qing army chasing them to Taiwan.

Besides, the Qing army is now full of enemies, and there are not too many troops to deal with them, as long as their Taiwanese army resists the first round of attacks by the Qing army, then the territory of Zhejiang will belong to him Zheng Jing! His thoughts were also right, but he didn't expect them to fight with the Qing army. Whether the Mawei Army will take action against them, perhaps they think that although the Mawei Army is strong, it will not be able to defeat Taiwan.

Soon, the six pontoon bridges quietly extended to the foot of the eastern city wall of Huzhou City, and Shi Lang led Zheng Jun to quietly approach the Huzhou city wall. Zheng Jun, who was carrying the ladder, was following on the rickety pontoon bridge, making a slight creaking sound, but the defenders on the wall still didn't hear it.

'Ready!'

Chen Yong, the vanguard of the Zheng army, shouted softly: 'One, two, three, vertical!' Twelve long ladders, also tied with cotton cloth, gently leaned against the edge of the city wall, and before they could get steady, Chen Yong stepped on them first, and only then did his order come out. 'Hurry up! ‘

In fact, there were Qing troops sleeping on the city wall. Many of them were still clinging to the edge of the female wall, and the darkness of the moonlight turned against Zheng Jun at this time. The first batch of Zheng officers and soldiers who landed in the city did not stay behind, and they stepped on these people at once, and the huge pain suddenly woke these Qing soldiers in their sleep. Seeing some Qing soldiers jumping up, Chen Yong, who was also tripped up, immediately ordered: 'Kill! ‘

The planned killing immediately began, only to see a certain Zheng Jun swing the waist knife in his hand vigorously, and the head of the Qing army in front of him fell to the wall with a grunt, and on the other side, a Zheng Jun did not have time to chop and smashed the wide-backed long knife in his hand on the head of a Qing soldier, and suddenly the head of the Qing army was shattered like an eggshell, and the other party withered on the ground with a red and white color without even making a scream.

As soon as the battle began, except for a small number of Qing troops who were still asleep, most of the Qing troops were awakened one after another, and suddenly some people began to shout. Chen Yong, who quickly killed the enemy on the city wall, loudly ordered all his subordinates who had entered the city one after another: 'Quick, kill down, open the city gate to welcome the general into the city!' ‘

Zheng Jun, who was rushing down the horse road, didn't have time to stop his feet, and a row of black holes appeared in front of him. Under the frightened gaze of the Zheng soldiers, the sparkling fire rope burned to the last section, and then the mouth jumped, and more than a dozen deadly lead stones rushed out with the flames. At the same time, behind these shotgunners there was a large group of Eight Banner soldiers, who also raised their bows and arrows in their hands and bent their bows to shoot arrows, and suddenly there were many dead and wounded on Zheng Jun's side. But most of the casualties came from the killing of the birds at close range in front of them, even if the elite of the Zheng army who attacked the city was wearing thick armor, it was useless.

'Kill! Although some Zheng soldiers were temporarily timid, Chen Yong still took the lead at this time and rushed into the ranks of the Qing army by roaring over the corpses that fell to the ground, waving the long knife in his hand, and immediately the Qing army slipped to the end, but the people who stood at the front and shot with bird guns were all green battalion soldiers, these people were already extremely poor, and they collapsed immediately after being slashed and killed like this. But the dozens of soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army behind them were still bending their bows and shooting arrows, and they were not frightened by Chen Yong's fierce appearance at all.

The organized bird gun team of the Qing army was scattered, and the thick armor covered by Zheng Jun made the Qing army who had just put down their bows and arrows and rushed up to fight for their lives helpless, at this time, only some Qing troops who also used heavy weapons could cause a little loss to Zheng Jun, but such Qing troops were too few, and they were powerless to stop Chen Yong and other Zheng Jun footsteps.

Just as the more than 400 Qing troops guarding the left side of the east gate were beaten back by Chen Yong and them, and the city gate was about to change hands, about 500 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army came from the direction of the Huzhou garrison yamen in the west. At this time, the Zheng army drove along the city wall, but unfortunately, they arrived, and the Zheng army, who climbed up to the top of the city through the guò ladder, condescendingly shot arrows at the Qing army that was coming to the reinforcements, but the elite of the Qing army's eight banners was still stronger than the green battalion soldiers, although dozens of people fell to the ground, but it did not stop the footsteps of the Qing army.

The Qing army in other directions are rushing to reinforce at this moment, in this special Huzhou city, it seems that only this east gate is ignited in the war, it is no wonder, Huzhou is also surrounded by waters, and only the east gate is the most open, suitable for a large group of people to attack the city, there are more than 2,000 soldiers in the city and the green camp defenders of the previous two hundred, but at this east gate there are thousands of Qing soldiers gathered, and others are still rushing over, it seems that the Zheng army is going to be difficult.

Chen Yong eventually led thirty of his men to the city gate, but they also began to be overwhelmed by the rushing Qing army. In this city gate cave started a fight, Chen Yong was slashed twice on his body and two Zheng soldiers took off the latch on the gate, but before they touched the latch, the Qing army behind them rushed up desperately, and they had to turn back and fight again.

The old-fashioned wooden door, the back of the door is plugged by the door latch, two very thick wood is the door latch, after killing the Qing army of these dozens of people, there are few people left around him, Chen Yong did not pause, quickly walked to the door, picked up the machete, roared, violently cut towards the rungs of the door latch, sawdust flew sideways, and one of the two door latches was already cut in a moment! At this time, the door latch was broken, that is, half broken, but it had to be cut down to open the city gate, but at this time the Qing army did not give him another chance.

Chen Yong turned back again, the Qing army was already close at hand, and a few people on his side couldn't hold the gate at all and had no chance to cut it, and he didn't have time to cut the other half. 'Kill! The Qing army that rushed up and these Zheng soldiers fought together, after all, the Qing soldiers were outnumbered, only about ten breaths, and Chen Yong and the Zheng soldiers around him were pierced by spears.

Above the head of the city, the Qing army of the brigade finally occupied their position again, the ladder has been overthrown at this time, and there was a miserable howl of the Zheng army below, after all, the Qing army is familiar with this side, and immediately applied all the tools to defend the city, and smashed the bricks and stones and wood down one by one, at the same time, the Qing army defenders lit one by one oil cans, and then threw them down, the exploding oil canisters killed and injured a large number of Zheng soldiers, and the fierce flames below also illuminated the night.

The city gate was half latched open by Chen Yong, and the city gate was no longer as strong as before, and Zheng Jun outside pushed the crash car to brave the fire and continued to bang violently, and after a while, the city gate was finally opened.

'The gates are opened!' ‘

'Kill! ‘

Zheng Jun still continued to drive into the city gate, but a tragic scene also happened at this time, although there was a monstrous sea of fire in front of him, but in desperation, Zheng Jun still cooperated with each other in a group of several people, including the top of the removed door panel or the heavy giant shield as a shield, and there were throwing earth and stones to open the way forward, under the feet of the hot ground, surrounded by suffocating black smoke, all of them rushed to meet the Qing Army Eight Banners soldiers without fear of death.

The canisters of oil bombs on fire at the head of the city continued to fall and then burst open again, and some of them hit Zheng Jun's head directly, and it often didn't take long for the freshly filled ground to rekindle the skyrocketing fire. It was easy to break out of the range of the fire oil tank, and then entered the rain of arrows of the Qing army in the city, dense arrows rushed to the face, and the Zheng army continued to have people fall to the ground with arrows, and there was only one person left for every two people who could reach the city safely.

Immediately afterwards, the Zheng army that rushed into the city gate immediately took out his spear and broadsword under the urging of the generals behind, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army that rushed out, and the two armies fought together in an instant, you have me, I have you, but no one took half a step back. At this time, Zheng Jun was not afraid of sacrifice and death, and he would get a lot of rewards if he took the city, and at the same time, his relatives in Taiwan would also get glory, so he desperately went forward to kill.

And the Qing army will not give up, they must protect the city gates. They knew that if they fell into the hands of Zheng Jun, there would definitely be only one dead word! They are the elite of the Eight Banners, different from the ordinary Eight Banners, and different from the ordinary Green Battalion soldiers, they have their own pride. (To be continued......)
