Chapter 94: The Fall of Fuyang City

Li Rutai was trapped in Jinniuling, which made Duoduo, who was calm, restless.

In fact, it’s nothing if Li Rutai dies or not. Dodo even look down on Manchu princes such as Fulin, Haoge, Jirgalang, and Daishan. How could he care about a dog from the Aisin Gioro family?

What he could not accept was that more than 4,000 Eight Banners soldiers, especially three hundred of them, were surrounded and annihilated by the barbarians.

This will bring stains to him and at the same time will encourage the barbarian's arrogance.

The Manchus ruled the world, with small respects the big, and with few controls the more. It was not about kindness, but the fear of the majority of people for a few people, which made the Han people feel that there was no hope of defeating the Manchus, so they gave up resistance and obediently became the people of the Qing Dynasty.

Duoduo knew very well that the Qing Dynasty adopted a high-pressure and terrifying ruling policy.

Therefore, the Manchus tried their best to create the myth that the Eight Banners were invincible, which made the Han people think that the Eight Banners were invincible.

If the Ming army is forced to defeat the 4,000-Eight Banners at once, not only will the Qing Dynasty lose its face, but it will not be as if the Regent explained, but it will also make the Han people realize that the Eight Banners are not unbeatable.

This way, it will be troublesome.

There are only a few people in the true Manchus. Even if the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han Dynasty were added, there were only more than 100,000 people. Once the Han people in the world awakened and resisted, the Qing Dynasty would have to go back to the outside world.

Therefore, Duoduo could never see that the Ming army annihilated Li Lutai's troops.

In the early morning, the Qing army arrived. The Qing army's troops reached 30,000. Duoduo was ready to attack the city again. This time, Duoduo was in vain and acted in a real way. He invested 6,000 Qing troops at a time to attack the county town, so that the defenders could feel his thunder and anger.

Under the Daqian Banner, Duoduo personally supervised the battle and claimed that the attack was unfavorable, and all the commanders were killed.

Seeing this, many generals were solemn and did not dare not to urge their troops to fight to the death. Tu Lai personally led five hundred soldiers of the Yellow Banner armor. They wore brocade clothes and cotton armor, covered with a layer of heavy armor on the outside, holding swords and shields, and tied with double axes around their waists, preparing to climb the city to fight.

In the wilderness, the Qing army lined up on three sides of the city, and there were a lot of blacks. On the city, the Ming soldiers held weapons in their hands silently.

Today Ma Shiying wore his scarlet official robe, with a jade belt around his waist, a black sand hat on his head, and soap boots on his feet, and was dressed meticulously.

Although the defenders repelled the Qing army's attack yesterday, the defenders suffered heavy casualties, more than 300 people were killed in battle, more than 400 people were injured, and nearly 30% of them were lost.

These two thousand people were Ma Shiying's servants. He followed him since he was the governor of Fengyang. He also witnessed the turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty and experienced storms. However, compared with the Eight Banners soldiers, there was still a huge gap.

"Gei, the Qing army is going to attack!" A general stepped forward to report quickly, with a look of panic and anxious expression on his face.

The Qing army arrived outside the city, with 30,000 people, and they were all elite. With just over a thousand defenders, it was obvious that they could no longer hold on.

Ma Shiying's face was calm. When he decided to defend Fuyang, he actually expected this moment.

When Nanjing was first established, the Southern Ming Dynasty still had five soldiers, half of the south of the Yangtze River, and the natural chasm of the Yangtze River. Nanjing had six complete departments, which was equivalent to having a backup system that could immediately take over Beijing's responsibilities and exercise the responsibilities of the central government.

At this time, the Jiangnan region was rich, and the Ming Dynasty got rid of the big burden of the north. The Qing army was busy attacking Li Zicheng and did not attack the Southern Ming immediately. The situation was actually much better than during the Southern Song Dynasty, and it should have done a lot.

However, as the chief minister, Ma Shiying did not seize the opportunity. Instead, he was keen on internal political struggles. Nanjing was quickly destroyed and he had the responsibility to be unable to escape. People in Jiangnan hated him, so that after he escaped from Nanjing, he became a rat crossing the street between Longwu and the Lu king's regime.

Seeing that China was devastated, the people in Jiangnan were ravaged by iron hooves, thousands of years of cultural rules and trampled by barbarians, he often felt that he was guilty and wanted to make up for his mistakes.

His political opponent Qian Qianyi surrendered, but he did not surrender, and his subordinate Ruan Dacheng surrendered, but he did not surrender, but insisted on fighting, just to atone for his sins.

At this time, he heard the general's report and walked slowly towards the city wall and looked at the battlements.

The Qing army was already in formation below the city. Only outside the East City, the Qing soldiers participating in the siege exceeded the total of the defenders. The Qing army besieged from three sides and could not defend the city.

At this time, if Ma Shiying wants to escape, he still has a chance.

Because the Nancheng is close to Fuchun River, he can lead some personal guards to escape south, but as soon as he leaves, the county town will inevitably fall quickly, and the troops of the King of Lu have not yet arrived on the south bank to reinforce...

Escape from Nanjing to Hangzhou, and from Hangzhou to western Zhejiang. This time, Ma Shiying didn't want to escape again.

Seeing the dense Qing soldiers outside the city, Ma Shiying said in a deep voice: "Since fleeing from Nanjing, our cabinet has even been despised by the world! Now our cabinet has decided to block the Northern Captains and become righteous, this is where I become benevolent, and you are willing to follow!"

A group of generals and soldiers surrounded them, and Ma Shiying glanced at their faces, many of them still wrapped in bandages.

After hearing his words, the soldiers knew that they could not survive. They were all servants of Ma Shiying. Those who followed Ma Shiying for many years had left long ago. Those who were still with Ma Shiying were all those who were grateful to Ma Shiying for many years and were loyal to Ma Shiying.

"We are willing to die with the Pavilion!" The soldiers on the city wall suddenly knelt on the ground, their faces full of grief and anger.

They knew they could not survive, so they could not help but raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while, let alone to fight against the Qing army.

"Everyone, I, Ma Shiying, thank you for your accomplishment!" In the eyes of everyone, the elderly Ma Shiying bowed to the soldiers with tears in her eyes.

At this time, a cannon sounded outside the city, and the Qing army roared together, and rushed towards the city like a tide.

When the defenders on the city heard the sound, their expressions changed. They held their weapons tightly, just waiting for Ma Shiying to give the order.

"Kill the enemy! Defense!" Ma Shiying roared, and the defenders on the city rushed to the wall. The defenders used bows and arrows and muskets to kill them, smashing down the wooden rocks, and attacking the Qing soldiers who were climbing the city.

Under the city wall, Qing soldiers were everywhere like ants. One erected cloud ladder was overturned by the Ming army, and another was raised. The Qing soldiers climbed up the city ladder, and the soldiers were constantly smashed to the city.

The soldiers guarding the city walls let out a sound of howling, fighting with the Qing soldiers who climbed the city like crazy. From time to time, they could be seen that the soldiers of the Ming army hugged the Qing army and fell to the top of the city together, fighting fiercely.

Under the Qing army's banner, Duoduo frowned and looked at the scene. The casualties of the Qing soldiers made his face gradually gloomy.

The defenders on the city resisted fiercely and the battle continued until noon. The Qing army still failed to break through the city, but the defenders were unable to drive the Qing soldiers down the city.

Suddenly, a yellow armored soldier climbed to the top of the city, and a defender slashed at it. The sword drew sparks on the yellow armored soldier, but failed to break through the opponent's armor. The defender was stunned. At this moment, the yellow armored soldier killed the defender and fell to the ground with a backhand.

Tulai led five hundred true Manchus to climb the city wall. They were wearing double armor. The Ming army stabbed them with guns and fire broke them, but they could not be injured.

For a time, no one in the city could block this Qing army. Only a few defenders used hook and sickle spears to hook their legs and pick their armor to kill several people. However, more than 500 Zhenghuang Banners were more than the Ming army guarding the east gate. The Qing army gradually occupied the city wall and the east city was immediately broken.

Tu Lai was invincible in both armor, and killed the Ming army in front of the city tower, kicked the city tower open, and the ferocious yellow armored soldiers rushed in and killed several Ming soldiers.

At this time, Tu Lai raised his head and glanced at him. There was no one in the city tower, and there was only an old man wearing a Ming official robe, sitting upright, as if waiting for a long time.

On the two pillars behind him, a desperate poem was written.

The determination to be fair is not yet fulfilled, so don’t say that your worries are gone.

Who can save the world of Lu Xu? I wish I could die for a thousand years.

The lake water is not loyal and loyal, and Huai Fei is ashamed of defeating Qin's plan.

The Tiaoxi River goes north to connect to Husai, and this kind of loyalty is used to destroy the enemy chiefs.
