Chapter 423
On the city wall, a flag with the word "Ming" written on it is floating on the top of the city.
The arrows "swoosh swish swish" fell from the sky, the arrows were nailed to the city, and the shafts swayed violently, making a buzzing sound.
"Let me go!" Wang Deshun roared loudly.
On the city wall, the Ming army's Folang gunner raised the cannon stand, lifted the butt, pressed the gun down, aimed at the city. With a "boom", the smoke filled the gun, and the soil and gravel under the city splashed, and a group of Qing troops were directly overturned.
In the wall shooting hole, the Ming army musketeers occasionally dropped arrows down and threw grenades. The spearmen thrust the Qing army climbing up the city ladder along the city ladder and poked the head of the city. The soldiers who were caught in the arrow were immediately dragged away by the medical soldiers.
In the city, teams of Ming soldiers and the strong people rushed towards the city, and the nervousness filled the whole city.
The Qing army sieges under the city were everywhere like ants. The Qing army carried the city ladder, held large shields and wooden boards, charged to the city, and the ants that were clamoring to the sky were attached to the city.
"Kill!" Wang Deshun waved his knife to kill a Qing army climbing up the city, and his veins roared with roar.
At this time, a group of Ming soldiers tied several grenades together and threw them on the city wall. With the loud bang, the siege tower on the city wall collapsed.
A golden sound rang out, and the Qing army siege retreated like a tide.
"The Qing army retreated, the Qing army retreated!" The soldiers holding the Ming flag held the flag and shouted loudly, running past the city.
In the smoke of gunpowder on the city wall, Ming soldiers held weapons and stood by the walls, watching Qing soldiers retreating under the city.
Wang Deshun stood at a city wall where the battlements were cut off by cannons, looking at the city. The guard next to him suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "Command to see!"
Wang Deshun hurriedly pulled out the thousand-mile mirror and aimed it in the distance to watch. He saw that while the Qing army retreated from the city, the overwhelming Qing army in the distance was coming down the city.
The circular vision of the Qianli Mile Mile Mile moves from left to horizontally. A Qing army with flags occupied the vision. After the flags, there is a Qing army that cannot be accommodated by the camera.
Wang Deshun's camera moved and finally froze on a large flag, his hand couldn't help but stiffen.
After a while, Wang Deshun put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said in a deep voice: "Let the pigeon letter, and then send someone to dive out of the canal and ask the general for help."
In the city, a hundred household officials with a smoke on their faces walked into a yard guarded by soldiers, picked up the pen and wrote the words Wu Jin's emergency, rolled up the note, put it into a small bamboo tube, and then grabbed the last carrier pigeon from the empty pigeon cage, tied the bamboo tube to the pigeon legs, held the pigeon in both hands and threw it hard. The carrier pigeon flapped its wings, spread its wings, and flew away the last hope of the defenders.
Outside the city, in the Qing army camp, Mandahai was wearing red armor and pressed his sword to enter the tent. Kong Youde and others entered the tent in a row.
At this time, Mandahai was sitting in the commander's position, and many Qing generals stood on both sides. He glanced at everyone with a sinister look, and then cursed in a deep voice: "A small martial arts has been attacking the city for several months, but it has not yet been captured. When will it take to destroy Zhao Zamao and pacify the world?"
The generals in the tent bowed their hands and bowed their heads. Kong Youde could only leave the list and said, "Your Majesty, you have been sieging the city for several days. The firearms in the city have been consumed. If you are graceful, you will definitely break the city."
There were two major obstacles to the Qing army's attack on Wujin: one was the difficulty in attacking the gun city, and the other was the sharp arms of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that the gun city has collapsed in many places, the Ming army's firearms have almost been consumed, and the two major obstacles will be solved.
Geng Zhongming also said: "Yes, yes, yes, the prince will be given a few more days, and we will definitely enter Wujin."
Mandahai looked calm, "You have heard about Wuchang being surrounded. Now the Regent has sent an order to defeat Zhao Zamao quickly, but you have not even defeated Wu's army, so how can you defeat Zhao Zamao?"
After siege for nearly three months, the city has not been broken, and Kong Youde and others have indeed lost their faces.
Mandahai said with a stern face and said without any doubt: "From tomorrow, I will personally supervise the battle. Anyone who fails to do his best to retreat in the face of battle will be executed no matter what position he holds!"
Wuchang was besieged, Dorgon died, and Mandahai was also anxious.
Kong Youde and others did not dare to neglect them, and they all raised their spirits and bowed to their orders, "Zha! Slaves and others obeyed the order!"

Wuxi, within the headquarters of the Right Governor's Office.
Zhao Ming was pacing back and forth in the hall with a gloomy expression, and many generals entered one after another.
"Master General!" Wang Chaoxian, Li Zhongming, Ruan Mei, Xie Qian and other generals saluted together.
Zhao Ming stopped and looked at everyone, "All have arrived!"
"Listen to the commander, we will come immediately!" Wang Chao said with his fists first.
Zhao Ming nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Wu Jincheng City and then sends Gexin to ask for help. This is Wang Deshun. Wang Yi is in a third emergency. There are only three things. Today, we must discuss a strategy to resolve the siege of Wu Jin."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and Li Zhongming said: "Master, isn't the Qing army increasing its troops?"
Zhao Ming nodded, "Yes, scouts investigate, Mandahai has also arrived in Wujin."
Everyone in the hall was a little surprised. Ruan Mei said: "Wuchang was surrounded, and the Qing army did not go to reinforce Wuchang, but continued to attack Wujin. Are they not afraid of Wuchang's fall?"
The land of Wuchang is to guard the key conflict between Jianghan, and to obtain it in the southeast and survive, and to lose it. If the Ming army occupied Wuchang and the Qing army in Jiangning, then it would be tempting to rest in the Ming army and the Jiangnan region would not be able to defend it.
In such a strategic location, the Qing Dynasty would inevitably mobilize troops to reinforce.
Zhao Ming originally wanted to wait for the Qing Dynasty to mobilize troops from Jiangnan to reinforce Wuchang, and launch a counterattack, but he did not expect that the Qing army would continue to attack Changzhou and kill him.
Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that the Qing court judged that Wuchang could still stick to it, and made up his mind to defeat us first!"
When everyone heard that the Ming army in Huguang was victorious, they were relieved and waited for the Qing army to withdraw. They did not expect that the Qing army would not retreat, but instead attacked.
Wang Chaoxian frowned and said, "If this is the case, the Qing army will inevitably be attacking Wujin wildly, and Wujin will be in danger. Then we must rescue Wujin."
Li Zhongming and other generals also said: "Since the Qing army has decided to take care of it and destroy us first, we can only face the challenge."
Xia Wanchun pondered: "Wuchang is now surrounded, and the Qing army in Jiangnan gathered heavily in Changzhou, hoping to make a quick decision and then return to Wuchang. If the Duke of Guo sent troops to reinforce, it would be the only thing that would be the Qing army. Changzhou's Qing army was more than 100,000, with most elite troops, with many cavalrymen, and stronger than the Duke of Guo. Can Duke of Guo be sure to defeat the Qing army in field war?"
Xia Wanchun's words made everyone in the festival silent.
At present, if you leave Donghai Town, you will have a desperate battle and fight with your back. Otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat the Qing army and resolve the siege of Wuzheng. However, if you want to replicate the boat, you cannot just copy it.
If Donghai Town sends troops now and fights against Mandahai, 99% of them will be defeated.
Zhao Ming took two steps in the hall and suddenly pondered: "Resolving the siege of Wujin is not about defeating Mandahai, but just keeping unbeaten."
