Jinniuling, the Eight Banners soldiers were extremely tenacious. Fang Guoan covered the rockets and bombarded the artillery. Nearly half of the Qing army was burned to death, but still did not surrender.

Li Rutai led the Qing soldiers to cut down trees, dig trenches, cast a circle of earth walls on the top of the mountain, and used bird guns and bows and arrows to kill the Ming army that was hitting the hillside, and repelled the Ming army's attacks several times.

On the hillside, black smoke was everywhere, which were the ashes left by the burning of trees.

Because it was burned once around Jinniu Ridge, the Qing army on the top of the mountain had a broad vision, which was not conducive to the Ming army's attack.

The Ming army climbed up from the foot of the mountain and was attacked by stones, bird guns, and bows and arrows. The top of the mountain was so large that the Ming army could not use its troops and could only attack once and once. After being repelled, it climbed again, causing great losses.

At this time, the frustrated Ming soldiers left hundreds of bodies and retreated from the mountains.

General Fang Guoan angrily punched the tree pole. He promised King Lu yesterday that he would annihilate the remaining Qing army within one day, but he did not want to fight from dawn to dusk and had not yet chewed down the mountain.

Outside the mountain, there were burnt corpses everywhere, emitting a burnt odor, which was disgusting, but no one cared about all this.

More than three thousand Eight Banners soldiers were burned to death, and more than half of them died in defense.

At this time, there were less than a thousand Eight Banners soldiers left. While they were attacking, some strengthened the earthen walls, some took off the armor of their dead comrades and draped them on themselves. Some were walking in the middle of the pile of corpses, flipping over the corpses, taking off the kettle, and tilting their heads, but it was empty.

Li Lutai, whose face was covered in smoke and his armor was damaged, sat on a large stone high on the top of the mountain, with a sword in one hand, and his eyes were a little lost.

"Well, the water is over!" An Eight Banner Niulu with his arms hanging over came over and said with a cracked lips.

Li Ruitai's face was gloomy. He pulled out the knife, wiped it on his arm, and said coldly: "It will take up to three days to get here in Hangzhou. Now we have been holding on for a day. Just hold on for a few more days. Prince Yu will bring his troops to help."

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Niu Lu, "Tell the warriors of the Qing Dynasty that we have not lost yet, let everyone bear it, and the turning point is right in front of us!"

Li Rutai looked at the foot of the mountain and saw that there were 30,000 to 40,000 people besieging him, which means that the main force of the Zhejiang Army has come to besiege him.

If he sticks to Jinniuling and attracts the main attack of Zhejiang soldiers, he may not be able to come to the center with Duoduo and turn the situation around in one fell swoop.

Li Lutai believed that it was not difficult to cross the river to rescue him with Duoduo's troops. He just needed to stick to it and there would be a turning point.

Li Rutai snorted coldly, "Since Taizu raised his army, the Eight Banners warriors have not lost thousands of people under several strong cities outside the pass, but have not been annihilated by the Ming army at one time, plus five thousand green camp soldiers. At that time, more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could not have severely damaged the Eight Banners, let alone the group of mobs in eastern Zhejiang."

Although there were only one thousand people left, Li Lutai still maintained his confidence.

At this time, Duoduo had indeed sent troops and arrived at the city of Fuyang, and he was the elite of 10,000 Eight Banners.

In the past, more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers and more than 100,000 Ming troops did not dare to fight. This time, Duoduo's opponent was not the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but the mobs in Jiangnan, so it was naturally no problem to take them down.

What's more, he brought more than 10,000 troops, and there were 20,000 Han military flags behind him, so he didn't keep up.

With 30,000 elite Eight Banners soldiers, they swept away the rabies in eastern Zhejiang. It can be said that they were killing chickens with a ox knife.

At this time, Duoduo stood under the banner of Daqi, and used the Qianli Mirror to observe Fuyang. Seeing a guard of soldiers and horses on the city, he turned the Qianli Mirror lens to the south bank of the Fuchun River, and there were also troops and horses to defend, and he couldn't help but frown.

If you cross the river directly without any equipment, you will be blocked by the Ming army on the south bank, and the Ming army in Fuyang City will inevitably interfere.

Duoduo pondered for a moment, then put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and shouted loudly: "Tu Lai, I will give you an hour to take down Fuyang City!"

"Zhe!" A Manchu general immediately clasped his fists, then pulled out his horse and dispatched troops to prepare to attack the city.

In Jinniuling, the 40,000 army actually took more than 1,000 Eight Banners soldiers guarding the top of the mountain, which surprised Zhao Ming very much.

The next morning, Fang Guoan organized another attack and was driven down from the mountain by the Eight Banners soldiers.

Zhao Ming followed King Lu, watching the Ming army retreat, frowned slightly. He had to admit that in addition to the combat power and equipment of the Eight Banners soldiers far exceeding the Zhejiang soldiers, these Eight Banners soldiers were fearless in their hands and hands, and they also had their fighting skills, which were not comparable to Zhejiang soldiers.

On the battlefield, two or three Zhejiang soldiers could not defeat one of the Eight Banners. The mountaintops were narrow and the number of Zhejiang soldiers could not be used, so it gradually became a battle of fuel.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ming was furious. Damn Li Lutai thought he was Yamazaki Team!

At this time, the retreating Zhejiang soldiers took a short rest and prepared to attack again.

Zhao Ming's injury has not healed yet, but it is obvious that the Zhejiang soldiers are not able to fight like this. He must put in some effort.

"Your Highness, General, wait!" Zhao Ming suddenly spoke, "Not only does this kind of attack on the mountain cost troops, and it is difficult to capture it for a while. If it is delayed, Duoduo will break through the river defense. Even if we annihilate Li Lutai, we will not be able to block Duoduo."

Fang Guoan's eyes were already red and said angrily: "What should I do? I won't fight? I have to eat this Jiannu!"

Zhao Ming pondered slightly, "So many brothers have died, how can Jiannu escape from heaven? Naturally, he will fight!"

Zhu Yihai raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Ming, reacted and said in surprise, "What's the solution for Bo'an?"

Zhao Ming bowed his fists and bowed, "I would like to ask the general to prepare some gunpowder, a jacket, iron nails, gravel, and ropes for someone!"

"Do you want these things?" Fang Guoan frowned, but still waved his hand and ordered: "Prepare these things for General Zhao."

Zhao Ming didn't know whether it could be done or not, but just smiled and said, "Wait a minute, the general will know!"

On the top of the mountain, Li Lutai, who repelled the Ming army again, stood in the trench and was glad that he did not escape, but chose to stick to the high ground.

If they chose to flee, the Ming army would definitely chase them all the way, and the Eight Banners soldiers were not familiar with the terrain, and I am afraid that few people would be able to escape back to the north bank of Fuchun River.

Now, although the Eight Banners soldiers have suffered heavy losses and have lost nearly 80% of their personnel, they have hope of a turnaround battle.

Seeing that the Ming army at the foot of the mountain attacked less than once, the morale was already a little low, and Li Rutai's confidence in holding on to Duoduo came increased by another point.

"Oh, the barbarian is coming up!" A Qing army shouted and suddenly said: "It seems something is wrong this time!"

Li Ruitai frowned when he heard the sound, walked to the edge of the trench, and looked down and saw that the Ming army did not charge directly this time. A large number of Ming soldiers were holding shields and leaning behind him. There were only a few teams of scattered soldiers, jumping between the stones and cannon pits and touching the mountain.

Suddenly, Li Lutai saw the first person, and his eyes immediately showed a look of shock.

"It's him!" Li Ruitai's face became ferocious in an instant, and he shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, bow, arrow, musket, shoot that guy to death!"

Zhao Ming had almost killed Li Lutai outside Nanjing City. Li Lutai was deeply impressed by Zhao Ming's courage and realized the threat.

The Eight Banners soldiers saw the commander running and jumping on the hillside with his fingers, and he stopped hesitating as a monkey. The musketeer lit the fuse, lifted the fuse and shot it in a row.

"Bang bang bang!" The top of the mountain was filled with white smoke, blocking Li Lutai's vision. When the mountain wind blew away the smoke, Li Lutai hurriedly looked at it, but the person was gone.

At this time, Zhao Ming leaned against a big stone and cursed in his heart, saying, "How could so many people beat me?"

While speaking, he had taken out the fire fold, lit a lead, and then rushed towards the top of the mountain.

He was very strong and threw the explosive pack made by the country into the sky.

"What is that?" The Eight Banners soldiers on the hilltop raised their heads one after another.

Li Ruitai also raised his head blankly and saw the object, drawing a parabola and falling towards the top of the mountain.

"Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly exploded above Li Ruitai's head. The air waves generated by the explosion and the iron sheets in the exploded bag instantly shot towards the surroundings, and the Qing army was immediately blown away.

Li Lutai sat on the ground with his butt, his eyes dull and his face full of horror ~
