Chapter 213: Victory

Suo Hong quickly saw the person led by the Ming army on the roof, and it was Zhang Mingzhen himself, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and shouted to Suo Hong and the others who were stunned: "Suo Hong, Anqing has been recovered by my Ming Dynasty, quickly suffer death!"

When the words fell, Zhang Mingzhen waved his hand and said, "Release!"

Whoosh –

Bang bang bang –

With Zhang Mingzhen's order, the soldiers behind him with bows and arrows and bird guns immediately stepped forward and fired arrows at the Qing army on the street who had not yet reacted, and the Qing army was immediately shot and killed, and those passers-by on the street also took out their swords out of nowhere and slashed at the nearby Qing army!

One of the arrows went straight at Sohon, but the latter raised his left hand in time to block the arrow with the gimbal armor tied to his left arm, so as to avoid being shot at the beginning of the battle.

"Kill!"

In addition to the Ming troops on the roofs on both sides, the infantry soldiers who were ambushed in the city also rushed out with shouts, covering the Qing army in the past, seeing that their soldiers and horses were shot and killed, Suo Hong didn't have time to feel fortunate that he had escaped the catastrophe, he pulled out his saber and shouted loudly:

"Dismount and fight, and follow me out!"

The Eight Banners of Manmeng were all riding war horses, and the cavalry could not exert their maximum combat effectiveness in street battles, but would drag down these soldiers who were skilled in foot combat, so Suo Hong could only give up his war horses and switch to foot fighting.

After dismounting, the Manmeng Eight Banners under the leadership of Suo Hong did not directly face the Ming army that was killing them across the street, Suo Hong did not know the structure of Anqing City, and did not dare to go deep rashly, if he could rampage to find other city gates to kill out, it would be fine, but if he got lost and trapped in the city, he would really be closed by the Ming army and beat the dog.

It has to be said that the infantry combat ability of the Manmeng Eight Banners is indeed better than that of the Ming army, although there is fire support provided by the archers and bird gunners on the roof, but the Ming army on the ground and the Qing army are still in a bitter battle, but the treatment of the Ming army no longer arrears of military salaries has played a role at this time, allowing them to continue to fight.

Despite the stubborn resistance of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, the front army led by Suo Hong was only more than 3,000 people, so under the siege of the superior forces of the Ming army, the strength of the Qing army gradually decreased, and the space for movement was gradually reduced.

In the battle, the Ming army even threw the thunderbolt into the crowded place, using the debris scattered after the explosion to kill and injure a large number of Qing soldiers, under the huge casualties, the Qing army's heart began to waver, and there were faint signs of defeat.

Although Suo Hong knew this, he was also powerless, the Ming army gradually divided and surrounded the Qing army on the street in the battle, so that the Qing army could only fight on its own, and Suo Hong could only directly command the two Manchurian Eight Banners Niu Lu who followed him.

The battle lasted until the evening of the same day, Suo Hong led his Eight Banners to rush left and right, trying to fight a bloody way, but the Ming army in front of them seemed to never be finished, coupled with the continuous shouts of killing, bird guns and human screams before death, all of which destroyed the will of these remaining Qing troops.

At the end of the battle, Sohon saw that Raita, the leader of the protectors, was shot and killed in the battle, and his side broke through the five gates and fell into a heavy siege.

After Suo Hong drew his sword and killed himself, the remaining Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners had no will to fight, since they had fallen into a desperate situation, and it was only in vain to continue to fight to the death, it was better to surrender to the Ming army, and maybe they could also exchange for a glimmer of life.

Of course, some of them did not want to surrender, so they immediately raised their knives and cut their throats, and followed Sohon to kill themselves.

"Drop! I'm waiting for my will!"

Those who did not want to surrender killed themselves, and the rest of the people hurriedly shouted broken Chinese, while putting down their weapons and expressing their surrender to the Ming army opposite.

He was not in a hurry to dispose of these Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, as one of the few Manchu and Mongolian bannermen who surrendered to the Ming army, Zhang Mingzhen decided to send them to Nanjing and let Su Yan dispose of them on his own.

Although Zhang Mingzhen's move to invite Jun into the urn successfully annihilated the advance of the Qing army, capturing more than 300 people from the Manchurian Eight Banners and nearly 1,000 people from the Green Battalion, his own side also paid a lot of casualties - more than 2,000 of the 10,000 horses who participated in the battle intermittently were killed and more than 1,000 wounded, and these wounded soldiers also needed it

Time to recuperate, that is, in the next battle to defend the city, the Ming army was only able to put more than 7,000 people into battle.

However, this is not absolute, because Anqing Mansion is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the Qing army can only surround the city on three sides, while the Ming army can obtain a steady stream of material supplies and soldiers through the Yangtze River waterway.

"Damn!"

The Qing army's main formation, which had not received Suohong's return for a long time, sent scouts to investigate and learned the news of the annihilation of Suohong's entire army, Shuo Sai, the king of Heshuo Chengze County and the general of Dingnan, was furious, kicked a Baoyi Aha who was serving him to the ground, and kicked the Baoyi slave who fell to the ground, and only gave up after venting the anger in his heart.

Seeing this, Shuo Sai's subordinate Bao Yi Zuo Ling hurriedly stepped forward, comforting and persuading: "Lord Wang, Suo Hong's incompetence has led to the destruction of the former army, and the servant thinks that the immediate priority is to report this matter to the court, so that the court will not blame you for this crime."

Bao Yi Zuoling's words reminded him, Shuo Sai nodded, and said, "What you said is reasonable, quickly prepare a letter, this king will report to the court and investigate the crime of humiliating the country by Suo Hong!"

Hearing this, Bao Yi Zuo Ling hurriedly went to prepare in person, Shuo Sai was also much calmer at this time, He sent scouts to explore the reality of the Ming army in Anqing Mansion City, and at the same time he was also very depressed, he really couldn't figure out how this Ming army took Anqing Mansion City before them.

In any case, the incident had already happened, and no matter how angry it was, it would be useless, out of prudence, Shuo Sai did not rush to lead his troops to the city of Anqing, but set up camp less than thirty miles away from the city of Anqing, and then besieged the city the next day.

The next day, the Qing army under the leadership of Shuo Sai came to the city of Anqingfu, and the Qing army built a siege camp outside the four gates of the east, west and north, cut down the surrounding trees, destroyed the houses outside the city, and pulled up a two-meter-high wall outside the camp.

This was obviously an attempt to carry out a long-term siege - and it was true, after scouting into the city, Shuo Sai learned that the Ming army in the city was at least more than 10,000 people, and the Qing army was not good at attacking the city, so he decided to besiege for a long time, waiting for the soldiers and horses of Liu Fangming, the general soldier of Ningxia, to arrive, and the two sides converged to attack Anqing.

Well...... Because he was on the front line, Shuo Sai didn't know the news that the imperial court ordered Liu Fangming to change his route to Jiangxi, and his abacus was very good, if Liu Fangming's men joined in, it would not be difficult to defeat Anqing Mansion.
