"Less than four thousand." The lieutenant replied.

Luo Yiguan asked again: "How much food is left?"

"Less than three days." The deputy general replied again.

As the two asked and answered, the atmosphere in the council hall became more gloomy, making people feel desperate.

Luo Yiguan got up: "Distribute all the food and weapons, and we will bury them here today!"

"The last will obey!"

Two lieutenants went down, one distributed food, the other distributed ordnance, there was no morale-boosting nonsense, all soldiers knew they were going to die today.

The soldiers silently chewed dry food, or polished their spears, and the cloud of defeat shrouded the whole fort.

Outside the fort, Nian Gengyao was riding on a horse, surrounded by a group of generals, looking at Xiping Fort from a distance, and he saw a blurry figure on the top of the city.

He knew that it was Luo Yiguan.

It was him, with 1 people, relying on a small fortress to block [-] Qing troops for seven days.

"It's a talent, go and persuade him to surrender."

Nian Gengyao said with a sigh.

Then a young general rode out.

"General Luo, you have led your troops to block us for seven days. You have done your duty. Surrender. You are hopeless. Your reinforcements were wiped out at Pingyang Bridge. There is not enough food and ordnance in your city. Why bother?" Are you holding on?"

"As long as you surrender, with your ability, it will be no problem to serve as the admiral all the way to our Qing Dynasty!"

Luo Yiguan sneered: "I, Luo, haven't died in battle, so how can I say that I have done my duty? Go back and tell Nian Gengyao that I will be waiting for him on the top of the city!"

The Qing general beat his horse back to the Qing army camp.

Nian Gengyao sighed: "Give me the military order to launch a general offensive. Today we must break through Xiping Fort!"

As long as Xiping Fort is captured, Sun Degong in Guangning City will defect and surrender.

"Boom, boom, boom-"

"woo woo woo woo--"

The drums and trumpets sounded as dense as raindrops, and a large number of Qing troops rushed towards Xiping Fort.

This time it was more than the previous few days.

The Ming army in Xiping Fort was at the end of its strength, and Nian Gengyao wanted to take Xiping Fort in one go.

"Soldiers! Kill the enemy with me!"

After the last arrow was shot, Luo Yiguan roared and chopped down the Qing soldiers who climbed up the city wall.

Hot blood splashed on his face.

"Kill! My Ming soldiers have no cowards!"

The defenders roared and fought with the Qing soldiers.

More and more Qing soldiers climbed the city wall.

More and more Ming soldiers fell, but after one Qing soldier fell, another one rushed up immediately.

In the case of unequal morale and numbers, the Ming army was not an opponent of the Qing army at all.

At noon in the morning, the Ming army and the Qing army were already piled up with corpses on the top of the city, and there were only a few hundred people left around Luo Yiguan fighting against the continuous stream of Qing soldiers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden thunderous cannon.

The rear army of the Qing army was blown upside down.

The Ming and Qing troops on the city wall were stunned.

They looked out of the city.

In the distance, I saw a black flag fluttering, and the words "Huai'an.Su" were as dazzling as the scorching sun.

"Brothers! Reinforcements are here! Marquis Huai'an is here with reinforcements! Kill me!" Luo Yiguan yelled.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of exhausted Ming soldiers rushed towards the Qing soldiers as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, because they had hoped for death now.

On the contrary, the Qing soldiers who were originally fearless of death on the city wall fell into panic.

"What's going on! How could the enemy appear from behind! The order was sent, and the rear army counterattacked on the spot, and the right and left wing troops rushed to support immediately!" Nian Gengyao yelled.

While Nian Gengyao was shouting, he handed over the command of the front army and rushed to the rear army by himself.

From a distance, he saw tens of thousands of Ming soldiers half-kneeling on the ground holding firecrackers.

Nian Gengyao showed a look of disdain, and the firecrackers can only be used as icing on the cake, but the stupid Ming army actually used it as the main weapon in battle, looking for death.

"Order the cavalry to charge up! Let him know how powerful our Qing cavalry is!" Nian Gengyao ordered to charge.

The cavalry is the nemesis of the firecrackers, because the firecrackers are poorly aimed and reloaded slowly, often just after firing a round, the cavalry has already rushed to their faces.

Then what awaits the gunfire soldiers is massacre.

"Kill! Crush the Ming army!"

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty! Charge with me!"

They had been attacking the city before, and the cavalry hadn't played any role. They had already suffocated their anger, but now they heard the charge, and they all galloped excitedly.

tap tap tap tap tap ...

Twenty thousand cavalry charged, and the horseshoes sounded like thunder. At this moment, the ground was trembling and dust was flying.

Su Xun showed a mocking smile.

Do you really think my guns are your rotten guns?Immediately ordered: "Three-stage salvo."

"Hang Kang Kang Kang Kang..."

The first row of three thousand firecrackers fired a volley, directly hitting the cavalry on their backs, then the second row fired, the first row loaded, the third row fired, the second row loaded, the first row fired again, and the third row loaded .

Before the cavalry of the Qing army rushed within 100 meters and 2000 meters, [-] people were killed or injured. The flintlock guns have a longer range, faster reloading, and greater power.

"How could this happen! Why can their firecrackers shoot so far! Why are they reloading so fast!" Nian Gengyao was stunned immediately, and his hairy melon seeds buzzed.

Seeing the cavalry fall down row by row, Nian Gengyao reacted and shouted: "Order to retreat!"

But at this time he could no longer control the situation.

The cavalry and horses ran wildly under the stimulation of the firecrackers, and what greeted them were the bullets of the firecrackers.

When the Manchu Qing cavalry rushed within 150 meters, they had been shot more than 3 times, and nearly [-] people were killed or injured.

Afterwards, the firecrackers of the Ming army retreated, and [-] heavy cavalry, from men to horses, all wearing black heavy armor and holding long knives and spears rushed out of the battle formation like shaking mountains.

They even wore iron masks on their faces.

It can be said that it is really armed to the teeth.

The [-] new troops trained continuously for two years. Everyone practiced martial arts on the Blackwood Cliff. Although none of them were warriors with genuine energy in their bodies, they were ten times stronger than ordinary soldiers.

So wearing heavy armor can still wield a knife freely.

"Pfft-"

When the sword was cut down, a cavalry soldier of the Qing army was directly chopped into two pieces, and blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

Ten thousand flying bear cavalry are like ghost messengers crawling out from the depths of hell, ruthlessly demanding the dog's life.

More than 1 Qing cavalry were divided by the Feixiong army, and then they were eaten away piece by piece like meat on a chopping board.

They didn't have any power to resist. The scimitars in their hands slashed at Fei Xiongjun's body, only a burst of sparks burst out, and they couldn't hurt the people inside.

"Ah! Run! Run!"

The Qing cavalry were terrified and fled in a panic.

But this will only make them die faster.

"Infantry charge!" Su Xun ordered again.

The Yaori Army and the Rising Sun Army charged in heavy armor.

"Meet the enemy!" Nian Gengyao roared.

There is Xiping Fort in the back, and the Ming army in front. If they run now, it will only lead to a rout.

He didn't believe that on the frontal battlefield, their Qing warriors would lose to these bug-like Ming troops.

Although this group of bugs looks very strong.

"Kill!"

The infantry on both sides collided.

The Manchus had an advantage in military strength, but soon they lost their advantage.

Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan, Dongfang Bubai and other great Ming Jianghu masters performed lightness kung fu and stepped into the air.

Qiao Feng got a little on the horse's back, and he flew high like a goshawk, roaring: "Kanglong has regrets!"

"Yan—"

A dragon chant resounded across the battlefield, and a phantom of a golden dragon flew into the battlefield with the confused expressions of the Manchu soldiers and exploded, leading hundreds of people in a wave.

Afterwards, the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were fortunate enough to taste all the famous martial arts of the Ming Dynasty at one time.

"Ice Palm!"

"Broken knife!"

All kinds of zhenqi spread across the battlefield, and the Qing soldiers were constantly being harvested. Nian Gengyao was on the verge of going crazy.

Haven't these people from the rivers and lakes never obeyed the discipline of the court?

How could they appear in groups on the battlefield.

With heavy cavalry participating in the battle, they simply cannot form an army formation to deal with these martial arts masters.

So, how to fight this horse?

The Ming army on Xiping Fort was also dumbfounded.

It was the first time they saw such a happy battle, the Qing army was unilaterally crushed and slaughtered.

Especially those heavy armored cavalry, their eyes are extremely hot, this is a natural war machine.

"Let's surrender." Nian Gengyao said weakly.

Then the remnants of the Manchu Qing surrendered on their knees.

But Su Xun still did not give the order to stop, and the heavy armored cavalry wandered around the battlefield and slaughtered the Qing soldiers non-stop.

"We're down! We're down!"

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The Qing soldiers roared in horror, begging for mercy.

It wasn't until half of the surrendered Qing soldiers were massacred that Su Xun ordered to stop. After all, these people could arrange to build rivers and the Great Wall, ready-made coolies.

Nian Gengyao was brought to kneel down in front of Su Xun's horse.

"Who are you?" Nian Gengyao looked up at Su Xun.

He wondered who he had lost to.

Su Xun spat out two words: "Su Xun."

"Huai'an Hou Suxun!" Nian Gengyao was shocked.

A treacherous official who controlled the Ming court actually had such a capable army under his command.

"Pfft-"

The long knife fell obliquely, and with the eruption of blood, Nian Gengyao's head rolled to the ground.

Su Xun put away his saber and rode his horse towards Xiping Fort.

"Guardian Luo Yiguan of Xiping Fort sees Lord Hou!"
