"Kill!"

Hangzhou Mancheng, under the fierce offensive of the Ming army, although the Eight Banners Army resisted desperately, but it was still defeated and retreated, watching more and more Ming troops rush into the city along the gap, and the families of the banner people living in the city also followed to fight back, whether it was the old man in his seventies and eighties or those banner women, or the clothed minions, they all took up arms and joined the siege of the Ming army under the leadership of Li Shutai.

Their addition had only a slight impact on the Ming army at first, but then the Ming army launched a merciless massacre of anyone in the city who could stand, and anyone with a weapon in their hands was regarded as an enemy.

Li Shutai and the Manchurian soldiers under his command also fought and retreated, and soon retreated to the town guard general's mansion in Manchuria, intending to rely on the high-walled compound around the general's mansion to resist, where would the attacking Ming army be stupid enough to attack directly, they directly knocked down the surrounding houses and demolished them, piled firewood around the general's mansion, and sprinkled the collected fire oil on it, and set it on fire.

The fire spread rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it engulfed the periphery of the General's Mansion, and the people who were entrenched in the General's Mansion looked desperately at the fire that surrounded them, Li Shutai looked around the more than 100 soldiers who had withdrawn with him, and saw that everyone's faces were full of despair, he took a deep breath, tore off the helmet he was wearing on his head, threw it on the ground, revealing his ugly braids, and then shouted at them:

"How can my Manchurian warriors be trapped here like pigs and dogs, and before the fire closes, they all rush out with me, even if they die, they have to pull a few Han dogs on their backs!"

When he finished speaking, he took the lead in running towards the gate of the general's mansion, and the soldiers in the mansion saw this, looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and then threw off the helmet on their heads, and rushed up, several soldiers helped him open the gate, and after the gate opened, he roared and rushed out.

However, the Ming army outside had already made preparations, and brought in a team of bird guns, seeing the Qing army rushing out, the bird guns pulled the trigger under the officer's order, and the projectiles shot penetrated the armor of the soldiers who rushed to the front at such a close distance, and the latter fell to the ground screaming, and was trampled by the robe that followed behind and continued to charge forward.

The Qing army fell one after another under the volley of the Ming army's bird-gunners, and they had no way to retreat, so they could only charge hard-headed against the bird's guns, and Li Shuitai, who was running in the front, was shot in the body, but still covered the wound on his chest and continued to run.

Seeing that the Qing army was killed, the bird gunners retreated one after another, and were topped by the sword and shield hands and spearmen, two of the spearmen looked at each other, roared forward, stabbed out the spears, and stabbed into Li Shutai's body together, Li Shutai waved his saber indiscriminately and wanted to slash the enemy who hurt him in front, but the strength of his whole body seemed to flow out of the wound, and after a few swings, the saber fell from his hand, and his body was also pushed to the ground by the two spearmen, who pulled back the spear and stabbed it again, finally took Li Shutai's life.

Li Shuitai died, and the Manchurian soldiers who rushed out with him and did not want to become roast suckling pigs were all leaderless and fell into chaos, and were soon killed by the Ming army.

With the death of the last Qing soldier who resisted in the city, the city of Hangzhou completely fell into the hands of the Ming army.

At the same time that Su Yan received the soldier's report, the system's gratifying prompt sound also sounded in his ears:

[Mission Complete (1): Regain Hangzhou Mansion.]

Rewards: Line Infantry ×5, Grenadier ×2, Bargir Infantry ×5, Indian Warrior ×5, Cossack Infantry ×3, Rank 6 (Henong) ×1, Rank 6 (Funing) ×1, Rank 5 (Fu'an) ×1, Rank 5 (Fuquan) ×1, Rank 5 (Fujiang) ×1, 1 Primary Small Arms Arsenal]

After reading the troops obtained from the task rewards, Su Yan seemed to have touched the law of system rewards - if he newly obtained the recruitment authority of a country's arms system, then the next few rewards are likely to be mainly based on the new country's class tree, and Balgir infantry and Indian warriors were the main classes in the early days of the Maratha Alliance.

Speaking of this, Su Yan is inevitably a little lucky, the infantry that Sister Ma was able to recruit in the early stage were Bargir infantry, Indian warriors, Indian infantry and armed thugs, among which only Bargir infantry was considered a relatively high combat fighting class, Indian warriors are melee arms Needless to say, Indian infantry has a variety of equipment and guns, and armed thugs are a group of rabble.

He was able to draw Balgil's infantry but not the latter two, I don't know if he should say that he was lucky, or if the system was merciful.

The five newly acquired warships have no place to use for the time being, Su Yan can only store them in the system space together with the warships that were previously rewarded for unifying Fujian, and the primary light weapons arsenal cannot be placed for the time being, even if they are to be released, they must wait to deal with this wave of attacking Qing troops first.

In any case, the troops obtained from this reward can be regarded as a return to the blood of the soldiers and horses under Su Yan's command, and more than 2,300 soldiers have been added, and Su Yan asked the system to summon this army of soldiers and horses to the east of Fuyang County, so that they can move closer to Hangzhou after being summoned.

Subsequently, he began to control the city of Hangzhou, and when he got closer to Zhang Huangyan was also a civil official, he entrusted Zhang Huangyan as the temporary prefect of Hangzhou, pacifying the people in the city, and cleaning up the ruins after the fire, and collecting the corpses in the city for burial - the fire in the city began to divide troops to help extinguish the fire after the Ming army entered the city and occupied the advantage, so the fire was controlled and did not continue to spread into a greater disaster.

At the same time, Su Yan also opened the system panel of Hangzhou Mansion and recruited three teams of Russian garrisons to act as the defenders of Hangzhou a month later.

He also did not forget Wang Yi, who was deployed in the east of the city, and after taking control of Hangzhou Mansion, he immediately sent people to find Wang Yi's soldiers and horses, but the results were unsatisfactory.

Although the Qing army led by Chen Tai was forced to withdraw from the city of Hangzhou, he did not let down his guard after leaving the city, so the scouts he sent soon discovered Wang Yi and his cavalry battalion.

But Wang Yi did not watch the Qing army withdraw, on the way to the retreat of the Qing army, Wang Yi sent the dragoons in the Xiao cavalry camp to harass, here and the game are different, the dragoons here are not the "horse infantry" in the game, they can really shoot immediately, but the loading after shooting is still a little difficult, so they took turns to go into battle, immediately retreat to a safe distance after shooting to load, and then stick on, even if the Qing cavalry comes out to drive away, there is nothing to do, I had to leave all the corpses all the way before withdrawing from the territory of Hangzhou.
