"Retreat! Fall back! ”

After being fired at by a volley of Qing soldiers on the other side of the moat, the punishment battalion, which had managed to run here, finally couldn't bear the casualties, dropped all kinds of equipment in their hands, and turned around and fled.

They were originally integrated from the surrender of troops who had not received the blessing of the system, they had no military salary, they were purely forced by Su Yan to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder, and they had already done their best to be able to come to the moat under the rain of arrows and artillery bombardment of the Qing army, in other words, they could not be defeated until the moat, Su Yan was a little surprised.

Seeing that the punishment battalion was directly defeated, the Chinese military battalion and the Shenji battalion that were advancing behind them reacted quickly, and the people walking in front shouted to the soldiers who had been defeated in front: "Spread out from both sides, don't storm the military formation, the impactor will die!" ”

They looked at the heavily armed soldiers, and knew that rushing over would be a death, so they obediently withdrew back from the passages reserved on both sides, but some of them still didn't hear it, and crashed into it head-on like a headless fly, and were directly killed on the spot by the soldiers in the front row.

On the city wall, seeing that the regular army of the Ming army finally entered the battle, the oppressive atmosphere began to spread on the city wall, and the bird gunners nervously hid behind the wall battlements, loading ammunition for the fire guns in their hands, and the sound of the whole bar rubbing against the barrel of the gun came and went on the city wall.

The Qing army's city fire cannon has been destroyed in the Ming army's successive artillery bombardments, each gun position is a mess, the barrel of the artillery was directly lifted up, the artillery was also affected, the weathered city wall surface was also smashed out of a number of gaps by shells, and many wall buttresses were shattered, revealing the blood-stained ground behind.

The will of the Qing army on the city wall has been stretched to the limit, if it were not for Tian Xiong to personally supervise the battle on the city tower, many of them would have fled the battlefield long ago, in fact, in the shelling just now, many people turned around and wanted to escape from the city wall, but they were killed on the spot by the soldiers in charge of supervising the battle, and they shocked others with the bloody human head, so as not to let the rout continue to spread.

Fortunately, perhaps because the gunpowder reserves of the Ming army outside the city were consumed a lot, and they could not continue to carry out artillery bombardment, the artillery on the battlefield finally stopped, and the Qing troops on the Changchun Gate could only hear the dull sound of artillery coming from the Lingqiao Gate and the Wangjing Gate.

"Archer prepare!"

At this moment, the Qing army commander who was mixed in the crowd raised his saber and shouted loudly, his voice became hoarse from the continuous shouting just now, so that the current voice sounded like a bellows with a leaky wind, extremely unpleasant.

"Put!"

Whoosh –

After the Chinese military camp stepped into the range of the Qing archers, they saw a row of arrows rising on the city, and without waiting for the officer's order, the Ming soldiers automatically raised their shields to block the deadly arrow cluster outside the shield, they listened to the clanging sound of the arrows hitting the shield, but the movement under their feet did not stop, and continued to advance.

Tian Xiong looked at the performance of the middle military camp, the expression on his face became more and more gloomy, he ordered to stop the futile shooting of the archers, from the beginning of the battle to the present, the archers have consumed too much physical strength, it is time for them to retire and rest.

The archers, who had been given the order to rest, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated one after another, giving up their positions to the foot soldiers with bird guns, and at this time, the tiger squat cannons, which had not been engaged in the battle, were finally brought up, and these small cannons were all set up behind the gap in the battlements, and aimed at the Ming army formation was a burst of artillery bombardment.

The Ming army, which had been shelled, showed no signs of panic, and they quickly dispersed, and with the speed of their acceleration, took over the siege equipment abandoned by the punishment battalion, and continued to advance towards the city walls.

Under the gaze of Tian Xiong and a group of Qing troops, the Ming army showed great discipline, even under the shelling of the tiger squat cannon, it still maintained high morale and advanced to the other side of the moat.

And the flintlock muskezeers mixed in the crowd also began to fire back at this time, they relied on the cover of the shield car, to the city wall to launch a salvo, among which the light infantry also to the operation of the tiger squat artillery of the Qing army artillery accurate sniping, in the burst of gunfire, the Qing army tiger squat artillery was suppressed, the artillery have fled, although the bird gunners on the city wall have the cover of the wall battlements, but still shot a lot, the military heart is shaken, many people began to retreat, but they were killed by the commander behind the battle, killing the chicken and monkey.

Bang Bang Bang –

With long treads being erected on the moat, the Ming army was finally able to carry the ladder to the bottom of the city wall, and they worked together to erect the ladder on the city wall, and the hand mortar artillery mixed in the crowd also fired grenades at the city wall at this time, covering the friendly troops to climb the city wall.

Before the Qing troops who intended to stop the Ming army from climbing the city wall popped out, they saw fist-sized balls being thrown up from the bottom, and before they could react to what these things were, the balls exploded violently, and the Qing troops behind the wall were immediately blown over.

Then, even with the deterrence of the warlords, the Qing soldiers still chose to flee without hesitation, they screamed and turned around and ran towards the stairs, trying to escape from the city wall, the first few people were killed on the spot by the officers and the warlords, but this did not eliminate their determination to escape, in order to save their lives, some Qing soldiers even waved their weapons and slashed at their commanders and the warlords, and the city wall was chaotic for a while.

Tian Xiong, who supervised the battle on the city tower, didn't expect that the soldiers under his command would be defeated so quickly, they hadn't even survived until the Ming army climbed up the ladder, he wanted to go forward to save the rout, but seeing that the Ming army had already poked its head out of the ladder, he dispelled this idea, and directly fled the city tower with his own soldiers, returned to the city, and prepared to organize soldiers and horses to start a street battle with the Ming army in the city.

In less than a quarter of an hour after Tian Xiong fled from the city wall, the Ming army occupied the Changchun Gate, the Qing army almost fled, and gave the Changchun Gate to the Ming army, after the Ming army who first boarded the city wall opened the city gate, the army entered the city, Tian Xiong's rout army was defeated by itself before the Ming army entered the city, and he could only retreat along the street with his own soldiers in despair.

But just when he was about to retreat to the City God Temple, a group of angry people suddenly rushed out of the alley, led by a young man who raised a dung fork, and plunged it into the throat of Tian Xiong, who was caught off guard, and directly lifted him off the horse.

The guards around him were shocked to see Tian Xiong die like this, but they didn't have the idea of avenging Tian Xiong, now that Tian Xiong was dead, they didn't hesitate to turn around and run away before those people targeted them.

This group of people is not alone, after the Ming army broke through the Changchun Gate and entered the city, many people looked at the wind and rose up, they raised a variety of tools that can barely be called weapons and walked into the streets and alleys, in response to the Ming army, to attack the fleeing Qing army foot soldiers.

The Qing troops of Lingqiaomen, Wangjingmen and Yongfengmen were all attacked from behind, and they did not hesitate to surrender after learning the news that Changchun Gate had been breached, and Ningbo City was actually taken in this way.
