Chapter 239 Bloody Battle of Jiangyin (4)

Under Qian Yong's order, the soldiers stood in a row. The streets in the city were very narrow, and there were only twenty people standing in a row. Many soldiers got into the shops on the street and opened the windows to point them at the Qing soldiers opposite.

At Qian Yong's order, dense gunshots immediately sounded in the North Gate City. After the shooting, a row of * retreated immediately, replaced the soldiers behind, and fought back and forth with each other, killing and killing the Qing army rushing into the city.

The Qing army opposite was not the new affiliated army of the four towns in Jiangbei. They were the Han Eight Banners in Liaodong, and were under the control of Kong Youde. The Han Eight Banners were still very combat-effective. They were a little panicked in the early stage of receiving the enemy, but after finding out that the other party was a musketeer, they immediately got into the shop on the street, and then the wall panels of the shop resisted the lead bullets.

After relying on the wall panel to resist the lead bullets, the Qing soldiers, under the organization of several Niulu, began to shoot arrows outside through the window. Now the two armies are less than fifty meters apart, which is the effective range of bows and arrows. After a rain of arrows, Qian Yong's team finally suffered casualties.

Qian Yong saw that his subordinates began to suffer casualties, and his teeth were so angry that he felt itchy. Seeing the Qing soldiers retreating into the store, he immediately ordered the artillery to be pushed up. This time, Qian Yong brought two more artillery companies to the north, but just got off the ship in a hurry and only removed ten six-pound artillery cannons.

The artillery behind pushed up an artillery, and Qian Yong shouted to the gunner: "Shockball, bang me at the shop on the street!"

Four gunners put shotguns in the rain of arrows and then fired them. Because the distance was less than fifty meters, the shotguns did not disperse at all, and directly penetrated the door panel of the opposite shop and shot into the house. Due to the obstruction of the door panel, the shotguns entering the house immediately broke open, and more than one hundred sub-munitions in the narrow shop dispersed, as if a metal storm was blew up, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers in the house were immediately beaten into sieves.

Qian Yong saw this outside that it was effective and ordered the artillery to start calling out more than a dozen shops on the street. At this time, more artillery was pushed up from behind and joined the battle. The Qing army began to unable to withstand the Ming army's attack and began to gradually retreat.

After the panic that he had just entered the city, Qian Yong's soldiers began to feel like they were all non-commissioned officers who had been trained for many years. They were many times stronger in terms of quality, training and equipment than the Qing army opposite.

After Qian Yong saw that he had basically controlled the north gate, he pulled over a regiment commander Zhang Sanqiang and shouted: "Missary, take a battalion and five artillery pieces, go along the street to the west gate. Pay attention to finding the local Ming army generals and ask them to organize people to drive the Qing army out of the city."

Zhang Sanqiang nodded and led the people to the west gate.

When there was a big battle at the North Gate, Yan Yingyuan, who was resisting the Qing army at the East City Gate, also reacted. When he saw the earth-shaking volleys of the five big ships just now, he knew that the reinforcements were coming, but he still didn't know where the reinforcements were.

Yan Yingyuan captured a thousand households and shouted, "You go down and organize people, cooperate with the reinforcements entering the city to defeat the Qing army!" Then he said to Chen Mingyu, "Brother, leave this to you in the East Gate, I'll go to the West Gate to take a look."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm here!" Chen Mingyu nodded to relieve Yan Yingyuan.

At this time, the Qing army command center outside the city was located on a hill outside the west gate. Duoduo was very angry that the county town could resist for nearly two months and ordered Bellerbolo, who had just pacified Songjiang, to lead 100,000 Han troops and 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banners to attack Jiangyin.

Originally, Kong Youde and Liu Liangzuo were fighting in the past two months, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army was limited. In addition, Yan Yingyuan was well-manned, nine generals at the level of Liu Liangzuo were killed in the past two months.

After Boluo came, he beat Liu Liangzuo without saying a word. After all, Kong Youde was an old man from Liaodong, so he still had to give him some face. Then he naturally attacked the city with all his strength. Boluo sent all 24 red-clothed cannons to Huajiaba outside the north gate to specialize in the northeast city. After three consecutive attacks, he finally blasted the north gate open. Boluo ordered Kong Youde to lead 30,000 Han military flags into the city to open a breakthrough.

Liu Liangzuo, who had just finished the board, was very unhappy, but there was no way. Now it is different from a year ago. At that time, Liu Liangzuo was proud and Emperor Hongguang had to give him some thin face. Now facing the Manchus who were like wolves and tigers, Liu Liangzuo dared to show any dissatisfaction.

Liu Liangzuo ignored the pain in his butt and quickly stepped forward to flatter Boro and Nikan.

"The two Beile Masters are amazing. The villain hasn't attacked for two months. When Master Beile arrives, the city gate will be opened immediately."

Nikan looked down on these traitors very much. When he saw Liu Liangzuo's face, he became angry and cursed: "You traitors, if you weren't for the fifteenth uncle who insisted on keeping you, you should have killed you all in Nanjing."

Boluo is the Grand Marshal. Although he did not insult Liu Liangzuo, he was also very disgusted with his character.

Nikan was about to continue scolding Liu Liangzuo, but a loud noise came from the north city, which sounded like a cannon.

Nikan looked north, and the Red Barbarian cannon position was covered with a layer of smoke, and he couldn't see what was going on. After a while, a messenger came to report: There were many giant ships at the North Gate Wharf, all with high walls, and had fired cannons to blow up the Red Barbarian cannons. And the Han army, who was respectful to King Kong Youde, was surrounded by a new Ming army, and asked the general to send troops to rescue him.

Boluo was stunned and asked, "How many people are there on the other side? Kong Youde's 30,000 people were actually surrounded in the city?"

The messenger did not dare to look up at Boro, and said, "It is probably less than five thousand people, but they all have bird guns and their firepower is very fierce."

Nikan heard the messenger say this and said angrily: "Master, I just say that these Han slaves are unreliable. Thirty thousand people were defeated by 5,000 people. Master, let me take people with you!"

"No, the enemy situation is unknown. Lord Liu, you will take your 50,000 troops in through the north gate to rescue King Gongshun."

Liu Liangzuo had no choice. He knew that this was a mission to die, but the situation was stronger than others. Liu Liangzuo bowed and received the order and took his new affiliated army 50,000 people to the north gate.

Nikan looked at Liu Liangzuo and asked, "Master, why use this guy? Their combat power is not good!"

Boro glared at Nikan and said, "Prince Yu has an order to consume more of these Han troops, and the Han people are too large."

So that's it, Nikan nodded and stopped talking. In fact, there is another thing he didn't know, that is, Duoduo said in a letter to Boluomi that he should minimize casualties between the two white flags. After all, the two white flags are the foundation of the regent, and there should be no mistakes.

On this side, Liu Liangzuo returned to his team with Boluo's general order and led 50,000 people to the north gate.
