Chapter 253: Closing the door and refusing to defend it, fighting to the death

Wuchang City is a big city, the streets of the main city are relatively wide, under the firearms on both sides, the Qing army's iron cavalry also began to be unable to parry, and Azige saw this and personally ordered Ao Bai and Ahsan to take a detour from the left and right streets to shoot the firearms of the exterminators, in an attempt to copy the back of the firearms of the exterminators.

However, at that time, Gao Yigong had personally led 500 iron cavalry to kill the cavalry led by Ah Li, and these old thieves immediately did not have any worse kung fu than the Manchurian iron cavalry, and after the two armies hedged, each cavalry fell off the horse.

At the same time, Li Jin led the archers to block the Qing army of the Aobai Division, and the iron cavalry of the Ali Department was highly mobile and had superb archery skills, but they could not be used in the narrow space of the city, but they were not as dense as the feather arrows shot by Li Jin's archers, and they could not take advantage of it for a while.

But in the end, Aobai was the so-called Baturu in Manchuria, and he actually rushed towards Li Jinbu with his white-armored soldiers in the rain of arrows, and the speed was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Li Jin's formation.

Li Laiheng saw that his father-in-law was in danger, and he also led his soldiers to kill him, while Ao Bai and other white-armored soldiers were like lightning bolts, roaring, and many soldiers and soldiers were directly shot to death on the spot, but Li Laiheng still stabbed a spear into the belly of a red-armored soldier without fear of death, but he himself was also taken up and smashed heavily on the ground.

Here, Li Yan was also busy asking Yuan Zongdi to rescue Li Jin's department, and Yuan Zongdi's department advanced according to the ruins and broken walls, throwing countless earth-shattering thunderbolts into the iron cavalry camp that rushed to Aobai, and at the same time formed a horse-rejecting spear, and the white-armored soldiers of Aobai were killed in an instant, and the camp was in chaos, and many iron cavalry who rushed up also collided with Yuan Zongdi's spear array.

Ao Bai saw that Yuan Zong's first department was a new force and had a sharp weapon for explosion, so he had to retreat back immediately with most of the white armor soldiers, detour towards Gao Yigong's side, and jointly attack Gao Yigong's department with the Ashan Department, Gao Yigong had to retreat with cavalry, and Yuan Zongdi's department had to take a shortcut to prevent Ao Bai and Ali from attacking the Huguang Governor's Office.

At the same time, Li Yan immediately ordered Li Nian's department and the governor of Du Yinxi to come to the rescue.

In an instant, the cavalry of Ao Bai and Ah Li fell into the melee with the infantry in the narrow streets, Ao Bai and others could only chop on the horse, and could not intersperse the movement back and forth, and even after the horse legs were cut off by the infantry, these Qing army iron cavalry had to dismount and fight, and the two sides became a white-knuckle hand-to-hand battle.

Here, Liu Tichun's firearms and Chadri's 300 Portuguese soldiers stopped Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry, and Gao Yigong's troops also led the remaining cavalry to kill Azig's side, so Azig saw that he could not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and quickly ordered a retreat before sunset.

The firearms soldiers could not kill a large number of Qing cavalry that were still retreating under the high-speed movement, and there were not enough cavalry with high merits, so it was naturally impossible for the infantry to catch up, so they could only watch the Qing army retreat like a tide.

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "If it weren't for the support of the imperial court's sharp weapons, this battle would have been lost!" ”

Du Yinxi didn't sigh so much, at this time, he looked at the corpses that fell on the street, but habitually began to mobilize the officials and people in the city to gather these corpses, and the wounded were also brought back for treatment, as a magistrate of Huguang, it seemed that he was used to this kind of bloody killing scene.

Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Li Jin, Liu Tichun and other generals of the extermination army, as well as Chadri, the general of the Western battalion, also did not say a word after returning to the governor's office, if they did not know that the imperial court would have reinforcements arriving tomorrow morning, these generals were afraid that they would leave tonight.

Azig also smashed his fist on the table unwillingly: "When did the firearms of the Ming army become so sharp!" It's still gratifying, how many shells are there for the redcoat cannon? ”

"Back to the prince, there are not many, you have to prepare to fight Jiujiang and Luzhou and other cities", Shang Kexi replied.

"Early tomorrow morning, shoot out all the shells, and bombard Wuchang City for this king, and there is no need to hit Jiujiang and other cities in the back, if this king expects it to be good, the order of the imperial court is about to arrive", Azig said and couldn't help but be resentful: "If you don't capture Wuchang City, this king is not reconciled!" ”

At this time, Niu Lu Zhang Jing Ji Bilong walked in: "Lord Wang, Lord Xihan Bei is here." ”

Bei Zi Xihan immediately saw Azig: "Brother Wang, the regent has a secret letter to you, and after you receive this letter, you will withdraw your troops immediately, and the class will return to the court without delay!" ”

Azig couldn't help but clench his iron fist and gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say.

"Lord Wang, you see?" Shang Kexi came over at this time and asked if he wanted to continue the siege tomorrow morning.

"Keep attacking!"

Azig yelled.

……

Early the next morning.

Before Li Yan and the others had breakfast, there was a roaring sound of thunder in the entire Wuchang City.

The lobby of the Huguang Governor's Office was also directly exploded at this moment, collapsing to the ground, and the guards guarding the door were stoned to death on the spot.

When the governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi and Li Yan heard the sound, they immediately ran out, and they couldn't help but see the sound of a crash all around.

"It's not good, the Qing army is going to raze Wuchang City to the ground, control the platform, and immediately order the army to gather in the governor's office! Be quick! Li Yan shouted excitedly.

At this time, nearly 20,000 iron cavalry of the Azig Department of the Qing army have been killed from all directions, indeed in all directions, many city walls have been blown down, and the Qing army is now almost charged from whichever direction it wants, and the exterminating army can not stop the iron cavalry coming from all sides at this time, and can only fight separately for a while.

Fortunately, Li Yan reacted quickly, and now there are heralds rushing out in all directions, Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi first ran towards the Huguang Governor's Office with their headquarters, and Li Jinbu has been cut off, plus Li Jinbu has been defeated once yesterday, this time it was killed again in chaos, and fled in embarrassment, and Li Jin himself fell into the moat.

Yuan Zongdi relied on a section of the city wall that had not collapsed to resist stubbornly, but fortunately, Azig mainly attacked the Huguang Governor's Office, so he only let the Han soldiers who were still happy attack Yuan Zongdi, so that Yuan Zongdi's headquarters was not defeated for a while.

Chadri's Portuguese soldiers also followed Liu Tichun and others to the Huguang Governor's Office.

But at this time, the Manchurian iron cavalry of Ao Bai and Ah Shan had also come towards the Governor of Huguang with murderous spirit, and Gao Yigong and Liu Tichun both looked at Li Yan, and Du Yinxi also looked at Li Yan: "Military advisor, what now?" ”

"Shut the door and refuse! Fight to the death! Li Yan only said these eight words, and tens of thousands of exterminators relied on the Huguang Governor's Office to organize resistance, but many exterminators began to flee, and were shot by the rushing Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, forcing all the exterminators to retreat.

But at this time, the people were already panicked and the army had no fighting spirit, Li Yan couldn't help but look at Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, and began to suspect that Wu Mengming had spread false news, and there might not be any imperial court reinforcements in fact, and his face was cold: "What about the imperial court reinforcements?" ”

Gao Yigong and Li Nian even pulled out their knives and pointed at Wu Mengming.
