Chapter 352 Fang Shiyan's tragic death
The Ministry of Fang Guoan did not participate in the last battle in Fujian, and among the Zhejiang team members, Fang Guoan's status has declined significantly since Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong joined.
Although Fang Guoan is a general, he is now just a name and cannot command the Zhejiang-based towns. He has become an ordinary town general, with the same status as Zhao Ming, Zhang Mingzhen, Li Chengdong, and Wu Zhaosheng.
This gap made Fang Guoan feel very uncomfortable. Fang Shiyan and other soldiers in Fang Town also held their breath, hoping to find an opportunity to prove himself.
Tonight's capture of Hangzhou was a great achievement that shocked the world. In order to enter the city first, Fang Guoan asked for a pioneer.
On the top of the city, the torch swayed, and then threw it down, which was a signal of action. The strong alchemist Yan shouted loudly and led the cavalry to run out of the woods and poured directly into Hangzhou City like a torrent.
The alchemy Yan took the lead and rushed into the city. Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him. The iron fence fell down, and the cavalry entering the city and the infantry outside the city were directly cut into two sections.
Immediately afterwards, a smug laugh came from the top of the city, which was the sound of Ma Guanghui. Then countless torches were erected on the wall of the city. The Qing army holding bows and arrows rushed to the edge of the wall, and then shot down a rocket with a bow and arrow.
"Not good! Go back!" Fang Shiyan held the horse's reins and exclaimed, and while digging the rockets with an iron spear, he commanded the cavalry entering the city to retreat.
However, the iron fence has fallen and it is too late.
The whistling sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air came like a strong wind. The Ming cavalry crowded in the city of the city were shot from all directions, and they were inseparable from the ground. They were instantly caught and fell off the horse.
In an instant, rockets and gun balls shot down. The Ming army crowded in the city was penetrated by arrows and projectiles, and blood mist rose up, and the wailing sounds soared into the sky.
"Quick! The back team changed to the front team and quit!" On the horse's back, the charlatan was shot with an arrow, waving his iron spear and shouting wildly.
But his voice was soon covered by the soldiers' exclamations and wails, and even when the soldiers heard the order, it was useless at this time. The iron fence fell and they were trapped in the urn and fell into a desperate situation.
At this time, countless Qing army figures had appeared on the city wall, and were firing rockets, shooting the trapped Ming army, and Ming soldiers near the city wall.
The Ming army in the urn city was not blocked, and the Qing army was shooting archers on the city walls on all sides, but the cavalry did not climb the city ladder, crowded in the urn city and were massacred by the Qing army. The cavalry fell off their horses in a row, and most of them were killed or injured in a moment.
The alchemy Yan was very anxious and pulled his horse back to the city wall, but found an iron fence that blocked their way out of the city. He quickly roared, "Crash it away!"
The cavalry turned over and dismounted, pulled out the battle knife, and slashed the fence desperately, and sparks flew everywhere.
Outside the city, Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming's faces changed drastically. Zhao Ming roared angrily: "No, I've been trapped! Your Highness quickly call the gold and withdraw his troops!"
Zhao Ming saw countless figures appearing on the city. The rockets shot by the Qing army were like fire raining in the sky. The attacking Ming army was suddenly attacked and was hit by arrows one after another. Knowing that the Qing army was prepared, he quickly made suggestions.
Zhu Yihai was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he realized that he had been deceived by the traitor Ma Guanghui, and he immediately gritted his teeth, "Hurry up, let the army stop!"
The prescription of the city gate Guoan led more than 10,000 soldiers to erect a trench bridge, climb the city ladder, and attack the city gate fiercely.
Arrows fell like raindrops, and from time to time, fires were smashed down, and a raging fire was ignited in front of the gate of Wengcheng, blocking the Ming army outside the city from approaching the gate.
Fang Guoan didn't expect that this would be the case. He saw his son Fang Shiyan trapped in the urn city, directing his subordinates to grab the city with red eyes, "Brothers, attack me! Break open the fence!"
At this time, several generals around him roared while swinging their swords to block the arrows, "General, Your Highness, let's withdraw your troops quickly!"
Arrows and projectiles fell like raindrops. The Ming army was not prepared enough and the soldiers were shot down continuously. While using shields to block Fang Guoan's arrows, the personal soldiers pulled Fang Guoan back.
"General, go quickly!"
The personal soldiers shouted urgently, but before they finished speaking, they were shot over by a runaway arrow.
At this time, Fang Guoan looked inside the city gate, and was already in trouble and couldn't listen at all. "No, my son is still in the city!"
At this time, the Ming army in the urn city had been killed by arrows from all sides, and more than half of them had died, leaving only dozens of people hiding in the door hole.
Suddenly, the inner city gate was creaking open, and countless Qing troops roared and rushed into the urn city to massacre the injured Ming army. They shouted and rushed to the door, stabbed the Ming army to death with a spear.
Fang Shiyan held the iron fence hard, but the fence did not move at all. He saw the Qing army breaking into the door hole, and the soldiers beside him were slashed and stabbed to death one by one. Suddenly he started to madly, wielding his spear to fight in the door hole, and instantly stabbing several Qing soldiers to death.
Looking at the Qing army rushing into the door, and raising their spears to fight him, Fang Shiyan suddenly roared in despair, "Master-in-law, avenge me!"
Outside the city gate, Fang Guoan and Fang Shiyan were only separated by a suspension bridge. When he saw Fang Shiyan trapped in the urn, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the firelight, Fang Shiyan was trapped in the siege of the Qing army. He killed several people in a row, and the door hole was covered with corpses, but after all, two fists could not match four. Several vicious Qing soldiers rushed over at the same time, and five or six spears stabbed into Fang Shiyan's abdomen at the same time, pushing his body backwards and hitting the fence.
The Fang Shiyan vomited blood with pain on his face. He turned his head and looked out of the city, roaring unwillingly, "Master Father and Commander, go quickly, avenge me, and revenge~"
Outside the city gate, Ming soldiers rely on their shields and it is difficult to withstand the arrows on the city wall. One soldier after another was shot down by Qing army rockets and muskets.
Seeing that the loss was too great, the two generals rushed up while swinging their swords to block the arrows, and grabbed Fang Guoan, holding him from left to right. While retreating, they shouted loudly: "General, Qing Gou is ready, go quickly!"
Fang Guoan was held by his generals and dragged his back forward. He watched Fang Shiyan's body slide down from the iron fence and fall to the ground. Fang Guoan bit his lips and bleeding, his eyes full of hatred.
He struggled to break away from his generals, but did not rush to the gate of Wengcheng. He just looked at the Qing army that was crowded with holes and cheering, and finally turned around and left.
Soon, the battlefield returned to peace, and then the Qing army cheered on the city of Hangzhou.
During this confrontation, the Ming army suffered not much losses and less than a thousand casualties. However, the Ming army that rushed into the city was destroyed, which still greatly boosted the morale of the Qing army.
The urn city was covered with human corpses and horse corpses, with blood scattered over the insteps of feet, and dense corpses were stacked. The Qing soldiers held battle knives and flipped the bodies, and executed all the injured Ming soldiers, which was very desolate.
Ma Guanghui went down into the urn. The corpses were everywhere on the ground almost made him unable to get up. He looked at his masterpiece and was very satisfied.
The Ma Guanghui family surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for many years and was highly valued by the Qing Dynasty. Ma Guanghui really couldn't surrender to the Ming Dynasty again, but he didn't want to die either. So he was forced into a desperate situation and had no choice but to learn from Zu Dashou, kill his own people first, win the trust of the Ming army, and then take the opportunity to escape.
At this time, Ma Guanghui glanced at his masterpiece and was very satisfied. With this military achievements, the Qing court could understand his loyalty and forgive his previous behavior.
Ma Guanghui looked at the corpses all over the ground and ordered coldly, "Cut off all the heads of the thieves and hang them on the top of the city so that the thieves will know how powerful I am in the Qing Dynasty!"
