"The key to the battle for city defense lies in the city walls and gates. If you kill the city walls, you can occupy the commanding heights to curb the counterattack of the defenders, so that more troops will rush to the city and gradually overwhelm the opponent in terms of number of people. The city gate is the key key. If the city gate is in the hands of the attacking side, you can use this flat avenue to drive the army in quickly; if it is in the hands of the defenders, you can send troops to harass. If the attacked side enters the city, once you fall into street fighting, it will basically delay time. The possibility of being able to push the attacking side back can almost be said to be non-existent."

The loud noise of the collapse of the city wall had begun to dissipate. Zhang Gongyan in the distance suddenly remembered this sentence that the instructor in the martial arts school said not long ago.

The reason he decided to stay in Zhejiang was because Zhang Gongyan saw the uniqueness of this Ming army. However, compared to being a civil servant, this Confucian scholar was more eager to be able to join the army, so he was arranged by Chen Wen to study staff in the staff department of the Zhejiang Martial Arts School. After all, the pitiful literacy rate in the contemporary era is here. Military generals can be illiterate, but staff members cannot.

Since entering the martial arts school, Zhang Gongyan has longed to be able to truly enter the army one day and make achievements in expelling the Tartars' great achievements. But what he did not expect was that this first time he was in the battle formation would be like this.

The cheers of the Qing army outside the city resounded throughout the sky, and they seemed to have determined that Jinhua Mansion could no longer resist their offensive. In fact, their confidence was indeed based on the basis of their confidence, but not everyone would give up on resistance and surrender in front of these traitors who had accomplices of the Tartars.

All the classmates standing side by side are classmates. Some of these classmates who are studying staff are simply pulled out of the army, and usually while studying, they are still trying to learn to read. Some of them have been familiar with them and have asked him for advice many times; some have read books and can read, but they don’t really look down on those who are from mud-legged backgrounds in their hearts, but now they are often afraid.

"Classmates, we are the army's supervisor. This line is the dead line. If the deserters want to go over, they will kill the deserters. If the Tatars want to go over, they will kill the Tatars. They would rather stand and die before this line than live on their knees behind this line!"

Zhejiang Martial Arts School, the officer training base of the Zhejiang Ming Army, all the students here do not have military positions in the army, but they still stood up to fulfill their moral and mission beyond this responsibility.

After a while, the flying dust disappeared, and the Qing army knew very well that the city wall had broken, which was equivalent to opening a larger city gate on it. However, this city gate was uneven and unfavorable to the cavalry's advance. Of course, when entering the stage of street fighting, the use of cavalry was limited to some key points of rapid attacks. Now they have an absolute advantage in military strength, and as long as the infantry kills in, the battle can be ended. As for the annihilation of the Ming army...

"After breaking the city, you will seal the sword for three days!"

Although the word "slaughter of the city" has not been expressed, every Qing army can hear the meaning of Shi Tingzhu. Rape and plunder are the most likely way to stimulate the beastly nature of the army. In Shi Tingzhu's view, this beastly nature can greatly stimulate the will to fight, and his masters have always done this.

The second outbreak was, and amid the more deafening cheers than before, the Qing army in the brigade began to walk towards the gap dozens of meters wide with firm steps, while more Qing army shooters and artillery began to sweep the city, intending to suppress the Ming army's firepower suppression of the gap.

The Qing army in the brigade slowly approached the gap and rushed into the city along the slope of the gap. However, in front of them, a Ming army with fewer troops than them had occupied the commanding heights of the gap at the original city wall and took a defensive posture.

Seeing this, the commander of this Qing army, the Han army's yellow flag Niuluezhen Qin Jiwu hurriedly drove the bird gunners behind the formation forward, while the musketeers and archers in the Ming army were not showing any weakness.

It has been nearly June, and the weather in Zhejiang has caused neither Ming and Qing armies to wear armor, but even so, they are still sweating profusely. On the battlefield, there are only a group of Qing soldiers wearing yellow and red uniforms with "lightning rods" uniforms and Ming soldiers wearing fiery red uniforms and hats, staring wide, and gritting their teeth.

In a blink of an eye, the shooters who rushed forward completed the first round of shooting. After more than a dozen of them were shot down on both sides, the Qing sabre and shield soldiers on the slope stepped forward and threw a javelin, a flying axe, and rushed up shouting.

The attack at the gap was completed, and the Ming army's archer retreated. At this moment, the Han Eight Banners Army, which had more combat experience, rushed up during this time, occupied a relatively gentle commanding height, and fought with the Ming army into a group.

Niulu, who rushed to the commanding heights, was an old army stationed in Hangzhou to defend the Eight Banners. They were in Zhejiang for a long time and the weather was more adaptable, so the first wave of offensives was naturally killed by them. In fact, this was the safest, because they had seen how the mandarin duck formation of Xu Lei of the Typing Battalion easily defeated another Typing Battalion. Although they were confident and had richer combat experience, they did not make stupid moves because of ignorance.

After rushing to the flat commanding heights, the first platoon of the Han Eight Banners Army quickly closed into a shield formation. The Qing army's swords and shield soldiers stood in a row, using shields to defend, without any intention of rushing forward to break the formation.

Blocking, cutting, or even robbing, the Qing army in the front row was not showing any weakness in the Ming army's spear formation. The rugged gap not only slowed down the Qing army's impact speed, but the Ming army's formation was far less neat than before when fighting in a flat field. However, this inch is stronger inch, and the Ming army's 15-foot spear and long card players are not easily shaken by the Qing army, and for a while, no one can do anything to anyone.

"Bird Gunner, go up!"

After Qin Jiwuyan pulled out his waist knife, the other team had already completed the loading, but the bird gunman, whose fire door cover was not opened, walked up with his gun and soon passed the second row of spearmen.

"First row, squat down!"

The front row was divided into Kush shouted loudly, and the Qing soldiers squatted down in a sudden and leaked the bird gunners.

With a "bang", the bird gun erupted with flames and smoke, and also bounced lead into the Ming army's battle formation. Even though he had just noticed that the Qing army had re-aligned the bird gunner and the Ming army had turned into a defensive posture, several spearmen were still shot to the ground and dragged down by the fire soldiers behind him.

A moment after the Qing army was completed, the Ming army immediately changed the formation and launched another round of assassination towards the Qing army, whose smoke was about to dissipate. However, this Qing army was a Niulu composed of Han people in Liaodong. All of them fought for more than a dozen or twenty years. At the moment when the bird gunners were completed, they regrouped the shield formation. However, they could not determine the position of the Ming army assassination in the smoke. They were stabbed to death on the spot. Then the sword and shield soldiers behind them re-added the battle formation.

In this way, the Qing army's sword and shield soldiers used their shield formations, relying on their personal martial arts and the accumulated experience over the years to block them. They cut off the Ming army's spears, and sometimes there may be bird gunmen rushing up to shoot for a round. The Ming army, relying on the heavy spear formation to defend the commanding heights of the gap, and the soldiers' casualties will be dragged down by the auxiliary soldiers and replaced by the soldiers behind. The archers are constantly shooting upwards, while the musketeers are trying every means to find a position to shoot.
