Wu Sangui must prove his innocence, and the most direct way to prove his innocence is to completely wipe out the Yi Zhenming Army.

As a result, Wu Sangui began to take action with all his might.

He ordered an endless attack on Yizhen City overnight and never stop!

Wu Sangui had known before that this was the second way to annihilate the Ming army besides siege and kill the Ming army.

If Wu Sangui had a trace of incense before, then at this time, he had abandoned the "kind" strategy of annihilation of the Ming army and chose a cruel, simple and effective method.

It's time to spend money, after all, the Qing army is several times that of the Ming army.

But this method is not a good thing for both parties.

When siege the city at night, casualties on both sides will increase, but now Wu Sangui can't take care of that much.

If a fellow Taoist dies, I will not die. As long as he can get rid of the shadow of Li Guohan's death in battle, he can do anything now.

But just as the Qing army was crazily attacking Yizhen City, the Ming army came from Jiangxin Island that it had defeated the Dantu defenders and occupied the Dantu.

In addition to being shocked, Wu Sangui mobilized 20,000 people to land on Jiangxin Island overnight and ordered a delegation to join forces with the Qing army stationed in Jiangxin Island to attack the Dan disciples quickly. At the same time, he had to send people to report the situation to the Qing court.

This military newspaper has a lot to do with it, even Wu Sangui can't resist it.

Dantu is the only channel for the Qing army in Jiangbei to connect with Zhenjiang through Jiangxin Island. If Dantu is occupied and the passage is cut off, then the Qing army in Zhenjiang will be the only one.

I'm afraid that this will not be able to even be able to maintain its state before the war, and Zhenjiang City will definitely be lost.

Therefore, Wu Sangui couldn't resist this crime and was unwilling to resist it. The so-called "not in his position and did not plan his own affairs." His direct descendants were still on standby in the north, but he was temporarily arrested and came to fight for soybeans. How could he bear such a major relationship?

If the sky falls, there is a tall man holding him over. What does it matter?

....

The battle between Yizhen is in full swing.

Dantu is no exception.

Although there were not many Qing troops on Jiangxin Island, there were eight thousand elite troops.

After joining the 20,000 Qing troops sent by Wu Sangui, he rushed towards the small town of Dantu with a overwhelming force.

If the Yi Zhenming Army has more than three days to prepare for defense, then Xia Wanchun's army will only have half a day.

Therefore, the casualties of the Ming people in the Battle of Dantu were far more than those of Yizhen.

This is not wrong. Although the Qian family's uncle and nephew led more than 20,000 Ming troops to defend Yizhen, they had already dismissed the Yizhen people while they were preparing for defense.

This is due to two considerations. First, the uncle and nephew of the Qian family have already understood that there is a good chance of this battle, and the Ming army cannot continue to increase troops to Yizhen. In other words, whether it is possible to defend or not, Yizhen will be occupied by the Qing army in the end, which is nothing more than delaying the duration of the Qing army in Jiangbei. It is known to everyone that the Qing army is brutal massacre. It is always good to die fewer people. The people suffer, so why bother to drag them down?

Second, Yi Zhen has been occupied by the Qing army for a long time. Who can guarantee that the people in the city will not secretly communicate with the Qing army?

Therefore, it is necessary to dismiss the people, collect supplies, and block the city gates.

Then, even if the entire Ming army was killed, the number of casualties was still fixed, and it would not exceed the total number of Ming army across Jiang.

But the Dantu is different. Although the Qing army has always occupied Zhenjiang City, the counties in Zhenjiang Prefecture are in the hands of the Qingtai Dynasty, and even the officials of each county are also Ming officials.

Xia Wanchun occupied the Dan disciples who had been lost for a few days, and the people naturally slapped their slush and welcomed their soldiers.

Xia Wanchun had no time to evacuate the people. Faced with the crazy counterattack of the Qing army on Jiangxin Island, he directly blocked the city gate. Therefore, the cruelty of this battle was that countless people in the city were injured and killed in the battle to assist the Ming army in defending the city.

There is no accurate number. It is just that after the war, Xia Wanchun was seriously injured, with only 1,800 Jianyang Guards left. In Dantu City, it is not an exaggeration to say that every family is filial, with 10 households and 6 and 7 empty rooms, which shows the tragic battle.

Of course this is a later story.

Whether it is Yi Zhen or Dantu.

At this time, in Wu Zheng's eyes, they were two chess pieces.

It’s not that Wu Zheng’s heart is so cruel that his relatives don’t recognize him, but that Wu Zheng, who has experienced the survival rules of death, understands that in this troubled world, benevolence and kindness are no longer applicable, and only iron blood can survive.

Be cruel to others and be cruel to yourself.

With five thousand cavalry and more than three thousand infantry, I dared to fight against the five thousand Eight Banners cavalry. Although it was indeed successful in the end, this approach was indeed ruthless.

Even in the Chongzhen Dynasty, tens of thousands of Ming troops wanted to wipe out a 5,000 cavalry in Qing Dynasty, it was rare to have precedents.

At that time, the Ming army could annihilate one or two thousand Qing cavalry, which was a great victory for the whole court to celebrate.

But this is not ruthless.

What's cruel is that after Wu Zheng wiped out the Qing cavalry in Danyang, he led his troops north without hesitation to attack Zhenjiang City, which had more than 10,000 elite Qing troops.

This is indeed a bit crazy.

This is a desperate gamble.

The Qing army dared not bet like itself and went out of the city to fight.

There is a saying that is good, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

The Qing army occupied Zhenjiang City and had been in charge for more than a year, which was for shoes. They needed to defend all sides. Even if they concentrated the largest force on one side, they had to guard against the Ming people in the city to take the opportunity to resist. Therefore, it is certain that the troops were dispersed.

Wu Zheng was like going to "rob" and was barefoot. He could concentrate on one side, one place, and one point without any scruples. As long as the Qing army did not dare to go out of the city to fight, even if the siege failed, as long as he wanted to retreat, he could completely retreat.

This is the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

Three battles were held at the same time.

Yi Zhen is the first, Dantu is the second, Zhenjiang City is the last.

But the battle ends, but it is arranged in reverse.

Zhenjiang was the first, followed by Dantu, and Yizhen continued until the war came suddenly.

Wu Zheng also struggled very hard.

During three days, the south gate of Zhenjiang City was tortured by sixteen artillery pieces of the Ming army.

The city gate has been changed four times.

Finally, the Qing army began to demolish the North Gate and transport it to the South City.

On the city wall, the Qing army's artillery also destroyed seven Ming army's artillery.

To say it was smashed, not blown up, it is because the solid bomb does not have explosive power.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that Wu Zheng found that the cannon could not penetrate the city gate. It was not that the city gate was so thick that it was difficult to destroy, but that after the city gate was bombarded by Ming army artillery four times, the Qing army had already built thick sandbags, stones, beams, etc. behind the city gate.

This kind of solidity may not be able to be blown away even if the mountain cannons of later generations are bombarded for one day. The cannons of this era are like decorations.

Now that Wu Zheng scratched his ears and his forehead were really helpless.

Yingtian Mansion is now unremittingly and cannot increase troops to Zhenjiang. In fact, even if it can increase, Chen Zilong and others will not send troops. Because in their hearts, the court's safety is more important than everything, and they even sent Ma Shiying and Qian Sule to urge him to reinforce Yingtian Mansion. How could he send troops to support him?
