"Kill!"

In order to deter the Ming army again, Li Chengdong personally led the Qing army's iron cavalry and rushed towards the Ming army.

"Spear!"

Seeing that Li Chengdong's cavalry was about to rush, Deng An shouted.

The shieldmen and archers quickly withdrew.

A group of pikemen took over the archers' positions with spears in hand.

"Shhhh

This was accompanied by a tearing scream of horses.

One by one, the horses fell in pools of blood.

Hundreds of Qing cavalry who rushed to the front were thrown off their horses after their horses died.

Some fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the cavalry who came from behind, and they had to be killed by the shieldmen of the Ming army who rushed up.

Blood was pouring all over the ground.

Since the streets were inferior to the plains, although the main road was wide, the large number of corpses was not conducive to the cavalry charge.

"Dismount the whole army!"

Li Chengdong immediately ordered the whole army.

The Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners dismounted and fought on foot.

Even in foot combat, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is far above that of the Ming soldiers.

Li Chengdong relied on this elite Qing army to kill the miscellaneous army of the Ming army.

"Bump...."

The two sides fought fiercely for an hour.

Although he knew that he was invincible, Deng An still led the Ming army to fight to the death.

"If we can't kill him by sacrificing one, we will sacrifice two, and three will kill him one! In short, it is better to die standing than to live on your knees! ”

Deng An said to the soldiers around him in the face of the disadvantage in front of him.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Ming army were willing to die with Deng An.

"Erniu, I'll go first on Huangquan Road!"

"Big brother wait for me!"

The two Ming soldiers talked to each other, and then rushed towards a Qing soldier to fight.

After a moment of fighting, the Qing soldiers hacked and killed the eldest brother of the Ming soldiers.

Er Niu was seriously injured, and Er Niu also stabbed the Qing soldiers to death with a knife at the moment of death.

In the end, two for one killed the Qing soldier.

However, most of the time, in the face of this group of Qing army elites, it is necessary to exchange three for one, or even four for one.

The two sides fought for nearly an hour.

Most of the soldiers around Deng An were killed in the battle, and only a few dozen remained.

"How many casualties did our army have?"

Li Chengdong asked the Qing army general on the side.

"Our army has more than 3,000 dead and wounded!"

The Qing general replied.

"What!"

Li Chengdong said with a shocked face.

"At the beginning, we waited to attack Huai'an, but we only lost more than 1,000 horses, and now we have 3,000 dead and wounded in Yangzhou!"

Li Chengdong said with an incredulous face.

At this time, Deng An and dozens of others were surrounded by hundreds of Qing regiments.

Li Chengdong walked out of the ranks of the Qing army with a spear in his hand with an angry face.

"Chop them all up for us!"

Li Chengdong ordered angrily.

Hundreds of Qing soldiers surrounding Deng An swarmed up.

"General Deng, if we can die with you, we are worth it in this life!"

"Yes!"

“....”

Dozens of soldiers beside Deng An said one after another.

After that, dozens of soldiers killed the Qing army one after another.

A moment later, after killing more than a dozen Qing soldiers, these dozens of soldiers were also killed one after another.

"Today, I, Deng An, will die to serve the country, and I will die without shock!"

After saying that, Deng An pulled out his waist knife and prepared to kill the Qing soldiers.

"General Deng, we're here to save you!"

"Kill! ...”

Not far away, 2,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of armed civilians came out with weapons in hand.

"Ahh

Although the remaining 3,000 Qing soldiers were elite, they also fought for too long, facing the Ming army and tens of thousands of people who were killed by leisure.

Instantly caught off guard, hundreds of people were killed.

Rout all the way.

"Withdraw!"

Li Chengdong, who was extremely arrogant before, was immediately frightened and ordered the army to retreat.

Unexpectedly, the roads in front and behind were blocked.

In desperation, Li Chengdong had no choice but to lead the exhausted Qing soldiers to fight against 2,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of armed civilians again.

The battle lasted almost three hours.

With more than half of the 2,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of armed civilians killed and wounded, there were only a dozen Qing soldiers left around Li Chengdong.

"I didn't expect it! Li Chengdong, now the situation has reversed! ”

Deng An strode towards Li Chengdong Road.

"I... Surrender. ”

Li Chengdong immediately dropped his weapon and knelt in front of Deng An.

"It's late!"

Deng An looked at so many people killed in the battle around him, and then looked at Li Chengdong and said coldly.

"Huh!"

Then he swung his knife and directly cut off Li Chengdong's head with a knife.

"Kill!"

After Li Chengdong was killed, the sergeants beside Deng An held weapons and killed the remaining dozen Qing soldiers.

I saw the dozen or so Qing soldiers, and their faces suddenly showed fear and despair.

At this time, these sergeants and ordinary people felt that the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, which had swept through the north, would also be afraid, and they were not so invincible.

"Bump...."

"Ahh

With a burst of slashing and screaming, the remaining dozen Qing soldiers were immediately slashed and killed.

"We won!"

The soldiers and civilians on the side shouted one after another.

Outside the city of Yangzhou, Duoduo led more than 20,000 horsemen to wait for a long time.

I saw that the smoke from the fire in the city gradually disappeared.

"Could it be that the fire in the city has been extinguished?"

Dodor said in shock.

Seeing that there was no other fire in the city for a long time, this time finally verified Dodor's inner thoughts.

Li Chengdong was eliminated.

Only when Li Chengdong's troops are eliminated will there be no new fires in the city.

"Prince Yu, the fire in the city has gradually been extinguished, it has been a long time, and there has been no new fire, I am afraid that Li Chengdong's department has been..."

Guo Shou on the side broke the silence around him.

"Li Chengdong, what a waste, I lost more than 6,000 horsemen in vain, how could this king believe this waste, so that the elite of my Qing army has lost so much."

Dodor clenched the whip in his hand and said.

"We were delayed in Huai'an for two days before, time is precious, we must capture Yangzhou as soon as possible, so as not to arrive with the main force of the new army!"

Guo Shou said to Duoduo on the side.

"Command the whole army, the whole army to attack the city!"

Dodor ordered.

"Kill! ....”

Soon, with a burst of killing shouts, the Qing army's Eight Banners began to attack the city.

The hundreds of Qing cavalry who rushed to the front were divided into hundreds of groups, each group of four or five cavalrymen, and while riding their horses, they jointly carried the ladder and rushed towards the city.

"Fire!"

Qi Li gathered the only two artillery pieces in Yangzhou City and ordered.

"Peng..."

With two shells flying out, only seven or eight Qing cavalry were killed.

There was no way to stop such a large-scale offensive by the Qing army.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was gradually approaching, Qi Li ordered the arrow to be released.

"Huh...."

More than 200 Qing cavalry were shot dead.

Qing cavalry arrived under the city walls.

Soon began to build a ladder, and the Qing cavalry who came behind dismounted and fought on foot.

"Peng! ...”

Not far away, hundreds of artillery pieces of the Qing army began to fire.

The overwhelming artillery fire directly bombarded the only two artillery pieces that Qi Li had finally gathered on the city tower.

Hundreds of Ming soldiers were also killed under artillery fire.

The two sides fought for two hours.

The Qing army relied on the assistance of elite soldiers and hundreds of artillery pieces, causing heavy losses to the Yangzhou Ming army led by Qi Li.

Qi Li continued to send orders, and the people who were organized in the city went to the city to help in the war.

The armed people of Yangzhou City died one after another after they went up to the city tower.

The two sides fought for seven days and seven nights.

Qi Li was hit by more than 20 knives, and he still stood on the city tower to command the soldiers and people to fight against the Qing army.
