Chapter 383
Tens of thousands of Qing cavalry rushed to the west city of Wujin County, Luo Wenyao walked around the city and entered the Ming army camp outside the East City.
At this time, the Ming army had already received the news that the soldiers climbed to the guards of the West City, and the Qing army in the camp in the East City also closed the gates and was ready for battle.
At this time, Zhao Ming hurriedly climbed to the West City, checked the Qing army running outside the city wall, and frowned slightly, "It's coming so fast!"
Tens of thousands of Qing troops were running under the city, raising the yellow dust in the sky, and the flags appeared and appeared in the smoke and dust, with a huge momentum, like a moving mountain of soldiers.
Many Ming army generals were also shocked. Unexpectedly, as soon as they captured Wujin County, Qing army reinforcements arrived.
If it was a little late and the Qing army suddenly attacked, it might be defeated.
Looking at the cavalry under the city, wearing yellow cotton armor and red cotton armor, many people holding Mongolian scimitars, probably from Huguang to the Eight Mongolian Banners and the Eight Han Banners.
Fortunately, the Ming army camp was in the east of the city. If it were outside the west city, it would have been rushed to the camp.
"I'm scared!" Wang Deshun cursed, "Hmph, no matter what, we have captured the city, and the Qing reinforcements have arrived, it's useless!"
His words immediately calmed everyone down. The cavalry was still able to fight in the field, and siege the city was to seek death.
Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "Yes, the city is already in my hands. Even if Dorgon comes, it will not be useful."
As he said that, Zhao Ming slapped the wall with a palm, "The Qing army came all cavalry and would not attack the city in a short time, but I promised that the Qing army would come later."
Zhao Ming glanced at everyone seriously and ordered in a deep voice: "Transfer the order of our general to station the army into the city to assist in defense, repair the city defense, drop heavy artillery and enter the city, and then order the Shence army to enter the camp outside the East City to strengthen defense."
"Here!" The generals did not dare to neglect and held their fists solemnly.
Under the city, the Qing cavalry wanted to rush into the city, but was repelled by the Ming army on the top of the city.
The cavalry could only rush, raising yellow dust under the city, showing off their force.
Ma Guanghui grabbed the horse's reins and looked at the city in anger. He immediately raised his horse whip and said, "The walls of Xicheng are intact. The pirates should not have entered the city from now on. The horse army can peek around the city and find an opportunity to break into the city."
Wu Jin had just lost his head, and the Ming army attacked the city walls, and the defenses must have been severely damaged. Maybe there was still a collapsed place and you could rush in directly. Ma Guanghui is a veteran, and he immediately understood it after a glance.
Ma Guanghui originally wanted to kill the Ming army with a mistake, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army occupying the city and neglecting to prevent it and broke into the city directly. However, Luo Wenyao walked around the city and did not enter the city from the west city, so he did not have the opportunity to seize the opportunity to seize the city.
Now the Ming army is ready, but Ma Guanghui doesn't want to give up this opportunity.
The Ming army occupied Hangzhou and recovered all Zhejiang. Although he escaped, he lost the city and land, and was unable to escape.
Now the Qing court was stunned and there was no time to liquidate him. When the Qing court sorted out the current situation, he would definitely be punished by the crime.
In order to escape the blame, Ma Guanghui had to make more contributions and pay for his crimes before the Qing Dynasty liquidated.
After saying that, Ma Guanghui pulled out the reins of the horse, and without discussing with anyone, he pulled out his horse and walked north, with nearly 10,000 cavalrymen behind him immediately following him.
Sun Dingliao, the Han army inlaid red flag inlaid from Huguang, was still observing Wu's entry into the city. When he saw Ma Guanghui galloping out, he couldn't help but shout, "Ma Junmen is not allowed."
The roar of war horses covered his voice. When Sun Dingliao saw the horse army galloping north with Ma Guanghui, he could only slam the horse's belly and chased after him.
On the top of the city, Zhao Ming saw the Qing cavalry running around the city. He immediately knew that the Qing army was looking for the place where the Ming army broke through the city. He wanted to find flaws and rushed into the city directly.
"Master, where did Qinggou come from? He is so arrogant. These grandchildren don't take you seriously!" Wang Deshun couldn't help but say angrily.
Zhao Ming didn't know it was Ma Guanghui, but he thought that the Qing army from Huguang had never suffered from his Zhao Tiebang's loss. They kept fighting against the Ming army in Huguang. Naturally, they were a little arrogant and did not fear Zhao Tiebang's reputation.
Zhao Ming's face darkened when he saw this, "Wang Deshun, go to Dongcheng to defend quickly. Qinggou is so arrogant, there must be people behind him!"
"Here!" Wang Deshun hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
Generally speaking, the cavalry did not attack the city, but the Qing army now had the courage to attack, which means there must be infantry behind it. As long as the cavalry rushed into the city, the Qing army's infantry arrived, they would definitely be able to recapture the Wujin.
Zhao Ming did not dare to be careless, and after saying that, he hurried down to the city, turned over and ran to the east city.
Wujin City walls were all over the city walls, and only the Ming army attacked them on the two sides.
At this time, the Qing army did not carry equipment, the west city of the north city was not attacked, the defense was perfect, the south city was close to the Grand Canal, and the city wall had not collapsed, so there was no need to worry. Only when the east city was bombarded for several days and the city wall collapsed was a flaw.
Sun Dingliao and Ma Guanghui led the cavalry to detour the North City. Seeing that the city was intact, they immediately ran east again, and saw the broken East City Wall and the Ming army camp with the closed gates of the outer village in the East City.
"Ma Junmen, the pirate camp is in the east of the city. When we attack the city, we will definitely be attacked by the pirates in the camp!" Sun Dingliao was also an old corpse. Although he came from Huguang and did not know the situation in Jiangnan, he could tell the problem by taking a look.
Ma Guanghui stared at several collapsed places on the east city wall and saw Ming soldiers carrying stones and repairing the city defense.
Ma Guanghui's face was ferocious, "The prince is leading the army behind us. If we can enter the city at this time and stop the pirates from repairing the city defense, we will be able to regain Wujin when the prince's army arrives, which will be a great achievement."
The Ming army had just captured the city, and the situation in the city would inevitably be chaotic, while the east city was full of devastation, so the defense was definitely incomplete. The Ming army had not even withdrawn from the city ladder. This was indeed a rare opportunity for Ma Guanghui.
If the attack was not made at this time and the Ming army was given time to deploy defense, it would not be easy for the Qing army to capture Wujin again.
Sun Dingliao glanced at the collapsed city in front of him. If the horse army could rush in, when the rear army arrived, they would indeed be able to recapture Wu Jin.
"Okay! I'll monitor the pirate camp, and Ma Junmen will attack the city!" Sun Dingliao hesitated for a moment and agreed to Ma Guanghui's suggestion.
The Qing army from Huguang had obvious psychological advantages when facing the Ming army, and the army in Mandahai was behind and could reach Wujincheng in at most half a day.
Seeing Sun Dingliao agreeing, Ma Guanghui drew his sword and pointed it, "Right wing rushed over to me!"
The Qing cavalry immediately raised their speed and rushed towards the East City, but the Ming soldiers on the city wall had no response.
When Sun Dingliao saw Ma Guanghui leading his troops to the city, he immediately pulled out his combat knife, "Left wing, follow me to monitor the Ming army camp!"
For a moment, thousands of horses galloped. The Qing cavalry rushed towards the city like a torrent of steel. The cavalry rushed to the collapsed place in a blink of an eye. The cavalry rushed up the slope along the fly bridge that the Ming army had not withdrawn. Then they rushed into the city with horses, but found that the streets on both sides of the collapsed place were filled with heavy armored Ming soldiers holding spears.
Ma Guanghui rode ahead and rushed forward. He saw the Ming army in tight formations blocking the road. The Ming army formed a formation in every street and alley.
The Ming soldiers' big shields and shield chariots were blocked in the middle of the street, and the sharp spears were mounted on the shield chariots and shields, like a huge hedgehog, blocking the road.
Looking at the slanting spear forest, Ma Guanghui and the cavalry rushing in, their hearts trembled. The cavalry attacked such a strict military formation, which was tantamount to death.
At this time, the Qing army outside did not know the situation in the city and continued to rush forward, pushing the cavalry standing at the top down the slope.
At this time, Wang Deshun stood on the city wall, suddenly pulled out his knife, and roared loudly: "Kill!"
The city walls and roofs were suddenly filled with soldiers holding muskets and bows, and many thunderbolters threw grenades with sparks.
Ma Guanghui saw the grenade flying down from his head, and his face was full of horror. At this moment, you couldn't help but think of the Fang Shiyan who was imprisoned by him in Hangzhou and killed by swords, as well as hundreds of Ming soldiers.
"No, retreat quickly!" Ma Guanghui suddenly shuddered and immediately roared anxiously.
But it was too late. First of all, the grenade fell into the crowd, and the white light burst out with "boom boom" and gusts of strong wind.
Although the power of the grenade was not great, the air waves, splashes of gravel and iron sheets caused by the explosion to make the Qing cavalry shout and neigh the horses, and many Qing soldiers were thrown off by frightened war horses.
At this time, the Ming army's musketeers and archers immediately fired, and the projectiles and arrows fell down, and the Qing army suddenly screamed and was shot to death.
"The back team is in front of me, retreat!" Ma Guanghui was hit by gravel and roared loudly with blood.
The Qing cavalry was of high quality. When they found something was wrong, they immediately retreated. Ma Guanghui retreated in panic. At this time, the Ming cavalry who entered the camp rushed out again roaring.
At the same time, the Ming army artillery on the city and the Ming army artillery in the camp fired at the same time. The artillery shells intertwined, causing the Qing soldiers to overturn their horses.
On the top of the city, Qian Qianyi and many gentry who were watching the battle saw the Qing cavalry coming, and thought they had stood in the wrong team. When they saw the Qing cavalry being frustrated, they all felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Deshun spat, came to Zhao Ming, and laughed and said, "Master, these clear dogs are really interesting. They have traveled thousands of miles just to send some heads."
