"Master, Fengyang City is almost unable to withstand it. Why don't you take your brothers to the position of humble position?"

Outside Fengyang City, the artillery fire of the Ming army was tighter and tighter. Under the fierce artillery fire, the Fengyang defenders were almost completely in a situation of being beaten. The gaps piled up by stone wood were continuously blown away, and even several other city walls were scarred by the artillery fire of the Ming army.

The defenders suffered heavy casualties. From a distance, the most violent attacks had already appeared red. This was made up of the gathering of flesh and blood. Although the Qing army still tried to use this method to block the Ming army's attack, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these were futile.

"Don't hurry, wait a little longer." Zhu Yigui put down the Qianlijing in his hand and sneered: "My brother's life is very precious. Let the cannons hit for a little longer, and then let the musketeers go up and beat me hard. When the fight is almost done, let the brothers kill into the city."

"The brothers, the Grand Marshal, are really kind-hearted and virtuous generals, and they are very impressed by their humble positions." The general who suggested just now said with admiration. Zhu Yigui laughed and scolded when he saw him like this, and the other party immediately became happy.

In order to capture Fengyang, Zhu Yigui made a lot of preparations before the battle. Not only did he mobilize the elite troops of his army, but he also brought almost most of the firearms in the Ming army in Jiangbei to Fengyang. Now, the Ming army besieging Fengyang City has far surpassed the ordinary army in terms of firearms. Except for the infantry not completely replaced by musketeers, it is almost the same as the new army.

Such strong combat power is no problem to deal with a Fengyang. Therefore, Zhu Yigui never thought of using his brother's life to fight the Qing army for free. In his opinion, using cannons and muskets to directly defeat the will of the defenders, and then launching a general attack to capture Fengyang is the best tactic.

I originally thought that fighting Fengyang was easy, but who would have thought that the Qing army leader who guarded the city was a ruthless character. He actually summoned so many strong men to help defend the city. Looking at the dense crowds of people on the far side of the city, a group of young and strong people fell down and then came up. Zhu Yigui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Huh!" Just as Zhu Yigui was about to put down the Qianli Miles held in his hand, he suddenly became surprised when he saw a place. Then the Qianli Miles moved to that direction and adjusted the focal length in his hand. After looking for a while, he shouted: "Come here!"

"Master!"

"Go! Take someone to see over there." Zhu Yigui pointed at that direction and said.

After the man took the order and left, Zhu Yigui was a little worried and asked the artillery to withdraw some of the transfer positions to prevent accidents.

The movement was close to the south gate. Compared with the east wall, which had been damaged and the most intense battles, the side seemed much calmer.

But soon, this calm was broken. Unexpectedly, the South City Gate suddenly opened from the inside, and the black city gate opened like a monster with a big mouth open.

The Ming army was surprised to see this. Now it is the critical moment when the Ming army attacks the city and the Qing army in Fengyang is defending the city. At this time, the city gate is opened. Could it be that Fengyang and Huaian, who were originally planning to take the initiative to surrender?

Just when the Ming army felt that the possibility was great, there was a noise from the city gate, and a large group of people surged out of the open city gate like a tide. When these people appeared in front of the Ming army, even the Ming army, who had been through many battles, were stunned.

These people were not Qing army, but ordinary people, and these people were not strong men who helped defend the city on the east wall. Among these people, there were men, women, young and old, and some were dressed in tattered and ordinary, even wealthy. I saw that this large group of people were driven out of the city like lambs, and each had a look of horror and despair on his face.

Some of them held sticks in their hands, some held farm tools, some even held rolling pins, and some also carried stone bricks and other items picked up from the ground, rushing out of the city with one foot high and one foot low.

"This...this..." The Ming army officer in charge of this area was stunned and his mind was instantly turned. He was stunned for a while. In just a short time, more and more people rushed out of the city, and in a blink of an eye, there were thousands of people.

Moreover, as the number of people increased, the Qing army hidden among the people began to appear. These Qing soldiers used their weapons to drive these people to drive them away, beating and scolding, causing the people to charge towards the location of the Ming army's position.

The people did not dare to resist at all, crying with a desperate expression, but holding the pitiful "weapon" in their hands. As for the women in the team, they were stumbled all the way. Among them, a young woman with small feet fell accidentally. Just as she tried to get up from the ground desperately, countless feet stepped on her directly. She had only had time to exclaim, and soon was drowned in the crowd and then silent.

"What?!"

Zhu Yigui, who received the urgent report, was stunned. He never expected that Fengyang's Qing army would use such a move. In history, it was not surprising to drive away the people to attack the city. Even Yuan Qi used such a move at the beginning of the uprising. However, it was never known that those who used the people's ants to guard the city. However, it was extremely difficult for the Qing army to use such a move.

You should know that there are more than 300,000 people in Fengyang City. Compared with the Ming army with only about 10,000 people, it is not worth mentioning that the Qing army guarding the city is hiding in the crowd while waiting for an opportunity to move. Once this crowd rushed to the front of the formation, even the elite Ming army could not resist it.

At that time, the Ming army had to retreat. Once the army was dispersed, the Ming army's firearms would completely lose their effect. In close combat, no matter how elite the Ming army was, they could not fight ten, and the Qing army was eyeing each other.

"Master! The Qing dogs drive out more and more people, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Just as Zhu Yigui was hesitating, his subordinates urged him urgently, and as the people in the city surged out of the city like a tide, and as the Ming army's military formation became closer and closer, the Ming army's expression also changed from initial astonishment to shock and uneasiness.

Once the Ming army did not react, it would be too late to wait until the other party rushed to the front of the formation. Zhu Yigui's hand holding Qianlijing was trembling slightly. He stared at the increasing number of people, and the distance between the two sides was constantly approaching, and he could even clearly hear and see the crying and desperate expressions of the people in his ears.

"Tell me that I will order you, and you will be killed by nearly 500 steps!" Zhu Yigui finally gave the order. After saying this with his last strength, his shoulders fell down weakly. After a while, the Qing army, who was driving the people to fight back, saw that the Ming army was not far away, shouted excitedly and kept urging the people to speed up their paces and run, with loud noises, white smoke came out of the Ming army formation, and the breath of death came towards him with the flames from the muzzle...
