Zhang Qiang saw that all the young and strong people who had just rushed up around him were blood-colored, and they were panic-stricken.

Footsteps sounded, and Zhou Porridge ran back with five hundred gunfire soldiers and took over the hill position.

Several cannons were pushed up and aimed at the gap, and the artillerymen nervously loaded the cannons.

Zhang Qiang said to Zhou Porridge: "Take those one hundred musketeers to the place facing the gap in the city wall, and on the second wall, shoot and kill the enemies who escaped from Hu Kui's hands. Don't let them run along the city wall." to other places."

At this time, NPC Zhu Dadian ran over, this time he brought two hundred famous servants, and seven or eight hundred young men followed behind him.

"Your Majesty, the North Gate is also in crisis. I have sent a hundred family members and a thousand youths to support the North Gate."

NPC Zhu Dadian said.

"Very good," said Zhang Qiang, dressed all over his body, almost like a general of the Ming army.

He was still accompanied by the dozen or so servants who had been selected for the bloody battle on the city wall with him before.

"However, Jinhua County Magistrate, County Chancellor, Dianshi are all missing, and their family members have also been scattered. Other gentry and tyrants have recalled their servants and guards, with an ambiguous attitude." NPC Zhu Dadian said worriedly.

"Hmph, I'm just a fool, let them go, as long as they don't do anything that's bad for us, send people to send troops to watch them, and send some upright servants who are loyal to Daming to take them with them." Zhang Qiang said bitterly.

"Boom," everyone looked to the other side, more than half of the western city wall collapsed, and the gate of the city was also in a mess.

Zhang Qiang frowned, "Master Zhu, go to regain the west gate and gather the soldiers. You must not let the enemy rush in from anywhere."

"Yes." NPC Zhu Dadian took two hundred servants down and ran towards the west gate.

"Kill—" More and more Qing troops came in through the gap, and Hu Kui led hundreds of rebel soldiers to fight and retreat, and quickly retreated under the second city wall.

"Release the arrows and let them come in." Zhang Qiang shouted.

The distance between the first city wall and the second city wall was less than a hundred paces, and there were a lot of surrendered soldiers from the Ming army, bannermen from the Qing army, and even Niulu from the Qing army, real Tartar soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Qiang led the gunner to the city wall. With the addition of the gunner, and the crowd of enemies under the city wall, even a novice could hit one without aiming.

For a while, rolling wood and rocks, bows and arrows, muskets, and firecrackers hit the enemies who rushed in in a panic, causing countless casualties.

Rumbling, more than a dozen burning fireballs rushed down from the top of the hill, smashed several layers of bricks on the second city wall, jumped up in mid-air, and smashed into the enemy's team.

The Qing army never expected that waiting for them to resist so narrowly and fiercely. They thought that after breaking the city, they would be able to loot as much as they wanted without sealing their swords for three days. They didn't expect that besides death, it would be the fear brought about by death.

The clever people immediately wanted to withdraw, but there were more and more Qing troops behind, pouring in from the gap. On both sides, from the main gate to the west gate, hundreds of young and strong men rushed up with weapons brandishing, and they rushed forward. The space is squeezed, and then strangled together with them.

The Qing army trampled on each other and attacked each other, which lasted for an hour, and then withdrew from the gap in shock. At this moment, except for the chaotic gap at the west gate, other places were stable again. Tired, under the command of the general, he desperately reinforced the city wall of the bombed tower.

Zhang Qiang sent another two thousand newly recruited young men who did not participate in the battle to the city wall, and then called You Haibo and the others back to let them rest. He recovered the second city wall from the main gate to the southeast barracks line, strengthened the barracks, and sent a small number of people to reinforce it. Defense of the city wall in the southeast direction.

Hu Kui was supported up, and said to Zhang Qiang: "My lord, fortunately, the last general did not disgrace his mission, repelled the enemy's attack, captured more than [-] prisoners, and another ten Tartars were captured, and thirty Tartars were killed. , the head has been delivered.

The enemy killed each other, trampled on them, and 300 people were killed by the defenders, some of the corpses were unrecognizable. This time, about 3000 enemies were killed in the defense. "

"What about our loss?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"My lord, we lost 800 young men, 40 family members, and [-] people were injured. The [-] family members led by the last general died in battle except the [-] people in front of us."

Zhang Qiang closed his eyes. If the enemy hadn't suffered a dark loss, the enemy might have already started attacking the second city wall at this moment.

"Okay, yes, take your people to the east gate to rest. Because of the terrain, the enemy's attack is not strong. While you are resting, you will reinforce the city wall with the guards there, and at the same time prevent the enemies inside and outside the city from capturing the east gate." Beware of other enemies attacking the east gate from the city wall."

"Thank you, sir." Hu Kui was carried down by the soldiers.

Xuanyuan Longfei ran over with a limp.

About fifty volunteer soldiers followed behind him, and they also suffered heavy losses. Most of the hundred volunteer soldiers who followed him were killed in battle, and everyone else was wounded. Manpower, guard the hill in front of the county government office, and guard the way of retreat for me."

"Thank you sir."

Chapter 19 Ladder defense, layer upon layer of interception

The gloomy clouds inside the city, Zhang Qiang also frowned tightly, feeling panic in his heart, outside the city, the shock of the enemy was even greater.

In addition to the losses of the soldiers attacking other parts of the city wall, 1000 civilians who were captured by the Qing army died, 700 soldiers were killed by the Ming army, more than 800 casualties, more than 300 people were missing, and more than 300 people died in the Han army flag , more than [-] casualties, more than [-] people died in Jurchen Eight Banners Ding, almost one soldier, three cannons exploded, fifty Han army banner artillerymen were killed and wounded, dozens of barrels of gunpowder were used, but such an ending came.

In the siege of more than a month, more than 1 soldiers died in the Ming army, more than 3000 people died in the Han army banner, and more than 700 people died in the Eight Banners. Strongly, Dorgon has repeatedly issued orders to urge him to march into Fujian, destroy the Zheng family army, and destroy the Longwu Dynasty.

However, he was stagnant here, which made him feel that his position was threatened. He successively hacked and killed several leading generals under the surrendered generals of the Ming army who were in charge of attacking Jinhua, and even killed a Niu Luzhangjing.

The word "Zhangjing" is a transliteration of the Manchu "janggin", which in turn comes from the Chinese "general". [1] In the late Jin Dynasty, the military position was named after Ezhen. In the eighth year of Emperor Taizong Tiancong (1634), it was stipulated that except for Gushan Ezhen, all should be called "Zhangjing".In the Qing Dynasty, the military officers of the Eight Banners were called "Zhang Jing" regardless of their position, whether they were princes or not.The "Zhang Jing" in the Eight Banners of Manchuria from high to low is Angbang Zhangjing (equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty), Meile Zhangjing (equivalent to the deputy general), Jialazhangjing (equivalent to the general) and Niu Luzhang Jing (equivalent to Bei Yuguan), these are the four most basic Zhang Jing.In addition, there are also Zhangzhangjing and Jialazhangjing in Bayaying, and Guanqizhangjing, Meilinzhangjing, Sumuzhangjing and Zhalanzhangjing in the Eight Banners of Mongolia.In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), Gabusi Xianzhangjing was established on the left and right wings of the Eight Banners (under the jurisdiction of Gabusi Xiangalayi Angbang).

All the generals were afraid of his coercion and did not dare to say more.

Ruan Dacheng and Li Chengdong looked at each other, Li Chengdong lowered his head, trembling, and dared not speak.

Ruan Dacheng looked up at Boluo, walked out sideways, bowed and said, "Lord Baylor, calm down, I think the reason why Jinhua Mansion resisted so fiercely is because Zhu Dadian is too prestigious, why don't we push those captured villagers away?" Before going to the battle, let them shout out that many of the villagers are squires in Jinhua County, or relatives who have connections, so that they can shake the hearts of the people in the city. Without the cooperation of the gentry in the city, the number of soldiers under his control will be reduced, or the fighting spirit will be greatly reduced, which will make our attack more smooth."

A Mongolian Eight Banners Zhang Jing was not convinced by Ruan Dacheng, he snorted and said, "Small tricks, a man behind his back is not a good man."

A Lazhangjing said dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for you, we would have captured Jinhua a long time ago. The benevolence of a woman has caused us to lose our troops and generals. Baylor, this person should be killed. Now the city is about to be destroyed and the city wall has been blown up." I am willing to lead the Niulu troops of the headquarters to charge again, and ask General Li's Han army flag to follow me. Before dawn, I will definitely take down Zhu Dadian's dog head and avenge my broken Qing warriors."

But Li Chengdong said: "Master Zhang Jing, I think those villagers and the new attached army should take the lead, and our Han army flag will follow. The master and the Jurchen warriors only need to follow behind. The premise is that the cannons of the Han army flag blow up the city wall again." Open it once, and this time I will personally lead the army to capture Jinhua Mansion."

Bo Luo's gloomy eyes swept over everyone, "Okay, Ruan Dacheng, you take the new attached army to attack Ximen, and at the same time contact the gentry in the city who are willing to surrender, cooperate from inside to outside, tea clip, you lead the army, attack the enemy's wall, Li Chengdong , you take the Han army flag and the new attached army to go straight to the government office, at dawn, you must take Jinhua, I have no time to wait for you."

Half an hour later, the Qing army bombarded the city wall again with heavy artillery fire, the main part being the wall in the southwestern corner that was blown down.

Zhang Qiang took a hundred musketeers who had already experienced a battle on the city wall. These were all veterans of the Ming army, and they still had certain combat effectiveness and discipline. They also brought Cong You Haibo, Hu Kui, and Xuanyuan Long Fifty soldiers who had survived the previous brutal fighting, and the sixteen rebel soldiers he brought with him, were selected by Fei's subordinates to build a parapet behind the gap in the city wall.

This is the skill he learned from those time travel novels.

The parapet is semicircular, wrapping the gap in the city wall of the bombed tower.

The parapet is divided into three sections. The first section is the longest, and the second section is [-] steps back. It is divided into two sections, which are slightly shorter, with gaps left in the middle and on both sides. Once the first section is lost, the Musketeers can retreat to the second section. Road defense.

The third road is relatively high, divided into four sections, and there are many gaps in the middle. This direction can quickly retreat to the second city gate ten steps away.

Hu Kui and Xuanyuan Longfei were already injured, and the troops were disabled. The two of them could only go to a safer place in the city to do some things. Zhang Qiang only had Zhou Zhou Zhou at his side, and You Haibo had to defend the first city wall. After a break, he went up to the city wall again. He is from Jinhua, and he also has friendship with those original rebel generals. He can easily get along with them, which is much better than Zhang Qiang directly commanding them.

The magistrate is dead, the county magistrate has fled, the squires are swaying left and right, the person who can preside over the Jinhua Mansion is Zhu Dadian who initiated resistance and called the rebel army, although he is not Zhu Dadian in history, but the NPC Zhu Dadian , but this Zhu Dadian is more knowledgeable and powerful than the historical Zhu Dadian. The battles he fought in the game world were much more than those fought by purely civilian officials like Zhu Dadian in history.

What Zhang Qiang can do is to delay as long as possible.

Wait for history to change.

Wait for the enemy to split up.

When the chest was repaired at random, the enemy finally came to attack. At this time, someone ran to Zhang Qiang, "My lord, the west gate was opened by the rebels of the gentry. Master Zhu is leading his servants and rebels to fight against the enemy." Zhou Xuan, he asked to send troops."

"These bastards." Zhang Qiang slammed his fist on the fourth section of the parapet that had just been repaired.
