Hu Maozhen died, and while striking the phalanx, he stabbed the good horse under his crotch to the ground. Hu Maozhen, whose thigh was pressed under the body of the war horse, had not had time to be rescued by his personal soldiers, and even the personal soldiers who tried to rescue him were killed by the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Qing army originally came from various towns, and only Hu Maozhen, who was a vanguard cavalry under Gao Jie's command, could be driven by them. After losing the commander, they soon fell into the dilemma of fighting each other. Some wanted to continue to attack the square formation and avenge Hu Maozhen; some wanted to try to escape from the square formation jungle and return to a safer city; some even gave up resistance, but were hesitant in the acceptable conditions for surrender.

The battle situation on the right wing soon reached Chen Wen's ears. When he heard the news, Chen Wen seemed a little indifferent and turned his head to continue observing the situation of the siege. Only when he raised the telescope, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting.

"Zhang Guoquan is being slapped by Lingchi. Now Hu Xubin is dead. It's Hong Guofan's turn next."

Time passed by minute by minute, and the siege battle had been going on for most of the day. In the telescope, the prisoners of the Ant Attachment attack and the Ming army that provided support to them were still fighting bravely. Nearly half of the female wall had been destroyed, and the defenders above were also cleaned up round after round by Ming archers at a disadvantage in range, especially the appearance of the first board, and the casualties were doubled. Soon, the city was filled with corpses and wounded soldiers. Although the Qing army's auxiliary soldiers were still trying their best to send back, the pressure on the city was too great. The Qing army's auxiliary soldiers soon had no spare time to do these things. Instead, they needed to work harder to transport guards to the defenders on the city.

After a long time, the battle on the right wing of the Ming army was also declared over. With the cooperation of the Ming cavalry and the phalanx, the Qing cavalry, which had lost its commander, was no longer able to sustain and soon began to collapse in chaos. Until just now, only one cavalry broke through the encirclement, while the others were either killed in the formation or surrendered under the encirclement of the Ming army.

The only army in the Qing army that had the advantage returned in this confrontation. Hu Maozhen paid the price of his life to defend Guangxin Mansion City, but it was still difficult to save the defeat. Facts have proved that in front of the front, the cavalry without infantry cooperation were just a group of cannon fodder with faster death speed. If Hu Maozhen knew Ney's fate, he would probably not have made up this decision.

However, many prisoners had already climbed up above the city. They were about to open up the situation, but were repelled by a counterattack after the Qing army gathered its troops again. The siege battle was in a stalemate again, and the sky seemed to be insufficient to support the Ming army in a new round of fierce attacks.

"The Tartars still have more energy, it's not too late to fight again tomorrow."

……………………

The Ming army withdrew from the battlefield, and the Qing army finally defended the day today.

Logically speaking, the first day of the siege is often the bloodiest and cruelest. If you can survive the first day, the pressure will be much smaller. However, the Qing army's night was not easy.

Under the East City Wall, the wounded soldiers and dead bodies of the Qing army were slowly transported away. The dead bodies would be transported to the northwest of the city for burial, and the wounded soldiers would have to be treated. The streets of Guangxinfucheng had already been curfewed. Those who could continue walking on the road under the night were all the Qing army escorted the civilians to deal with the dead bodies and wounded. The dead bodies would not move, but the wailing sounds of the wounded soldiers filled the city. Even the carnival of the Qing army, which had experienced hard battles today, returned to the camp and continued to rely on good wine and meat, and ravage those women to relieve the pressure.

The Qing army defended the city, which was indeed worth celebrating. Even Hong Chengchou ordered the soldiers guarding the city to be praised and rewarded. However, whether it was the temporary wounded and sick place or the military camps looking for fun, it always had an atmosphere before the end of the world, which seemed very strange.

"Do you know? The Ming army I shot to death on the top of the city today was my wife's younger brother. He climbed to the top of the city and the situation was urgent. I stabbed him without looking at it, but after stabbing him to death, I realized that I was killing my relatives and brother-in-law. You said that my father-in-law knew about this, and he would not be angry to death. He was just such a son."

"Oh, too, I threw down a stone and always felt like the one who was smashed to death, who looked like a cousin from my family who was distant. Didn't this kill my family?"

"I wouldn't have come if I had known this. These Ming troops were too cruel and we could not defeat them. If we continue to fight each other like this, even if we return to our hometown, we will be unable to hide the villagers and enter the ancestral grave."

After drinking too much, the soldiers of the defenders had no interest in besides being lustful and gathered together to sigh. Their immediate superiors and middle- and low-level officers were either drinking and having fun in their own tents or doing similar things. They didn't care much about the direction of public opinion in the army, and they didn't know how to reverse it.

"Haha, today we guarded the city, but if we think about it carefully, we agreed that the three city walls in the south, north and west were handed over to the remnants of the Luangbiao camp, and the east wall was made by Admiral Liu and our Jiujiang Town day by day. Now, they almost couldn't hold on the first day, and we had to save the Ming army before we drove the city. When tomorrow, who would save us!"

"Old brother, you are right. They are all the same soldiers. Tomorrow they are going to the city today, so we are still trying our best."

"That's right, now Admiral Zhang is dead and Admiral Hu is dead, and only some of the remaining defeated soldiers are left. Can you beat him? Do you expect Nangan to come to save us?"

"Oh, all the powerful generals like Admiral Hu have died in the formation. This battle is really impossible to fight. It's far better to escape back to Jiujiang quickly."

"It will be useful to escape back? When the Ming army takes down Guangxin Mansion, can Jiujiang be defended? I think it is better to find a way to build a boat after arriving in Jiujiang. When the Ming army comes, he will take the family fortune and take the boat back to his hometown, and he can still become a rich man."

"This is a great good word."

……………………

Hu Maozhen's death and the forced deployment of Jiujiang Town to assist in defense in advance undoubtedly further hit the morale of the Qing army. Even the senior officers and the Nanchang shogunate had no joy in defending the city, but were still panicked about the disaster in the future.

The next day, the Ming army attacked again, and the siege was no less than yesterday. It seemed that the casualties yesterday did not hurt the Ming army's headquarters at all.

Chen Wen would not care about how these prisoners died or how many deaths were. As long as they could change the lives of the Qing army on the city, it would be worth it. However, Chen Wen, who came out yesterday, was not hesitant to come back alive. He had enough meat and no wine, but he was just like the Ming army. Today, they no longer needed to fight as the first echelon, but they would wait until the prisoners who did not fight yesterday put the siege into a stalemate again before they would carry out the fatal blow with the Ming army.

Just like yesterday, after the Ming army launched an attack, the Qing army dispatched cavalry again. This time, the general who commanded the army was replaced by the former Ningxia general, and the current governor of the Jingbiao Houzhen. However, this general Liu seemed to have learned from Hu Maozhen's lesson, or the Qing army's cavalry no longer had much advantage in number and could not withstand consumption. He had to linger outside the jungle of the square formation, but the harassment of the Ming army was even more slim.

The siege battle was staged again as yesterday's script. The morale of the Qing army was significantly lower, but the Ming army was as always, and its morale was even higher than yesterday. This was related to the fact that the troops and horses of the Ming army did not suffer too much casualties yesterday, but more importantly, the Ming army's supervisors were always maintaining and encouraging the morale in the army and guiding the direction of public opinion in the army.

In this way, the Ming army firmly believed that the city was about to break out, while the Qing army was still wondering whether they could hold on to it today. As one went up and down, at noon, the sun was the most poisonous. As Chen Wen pressed the flag, the Ming army of the brigade began to dispatch and launched the most powerful attack so far.

Hong Chengchou was still on the front of the city, but the defense of the defenders fell on Yang Jie as yesterday. The Ming army of the brigade was dispatched, and the city was condescending, so he naturally saw it clearly. The highlight was really started. Yang Jie quickly mobilized more troops, and even stood on standby at the city. The Jingbiaoqian Town, which was used as a support, was also transferred to a lot.

The battle continued. Because the Qing army's artillery at the top of the city was always under the attack of the Ming army's watchtower, the target could only be selected on these towering siege equipment. The interference was minimal, and the Ming army quickly approached the city. When the prisoners saw the Ming army personally arrived, they immediately boosted their morale and launched a more compact offensive towards the top of the city.

"Those guys wearing iron masks didn't come, it's okay."

This thanks not only appeared in Yang Jie's heart, but even many Qing soldiers present, especially those who were added to Jingbiaoqianzhen.

After the day yesterday, the Ming army relied on the advantage of the range of the muskets, which made the Qing army at the city extremely uncomfortable. Whenever they wanted to attack the enemy on the ladder or bombard the watchtowers, they would inevitably be attacked by Ming army shooters.

This was true yesterday, and this is even more true today. Even the Ming army's shooters seemed more orderly in choosing the targets of shooting. The Qing army's gunners and officers who commanded the battle became the targets of focus without exception, and casualties naturally rose sharply.

The gunner was shot, which means that the shooting speed of the artillery would be greatly affected, and the counterattacks against the Ming army artillery and the shooters on the watchtower became increasingly weak; and the casualties of those officers meant that the chaos in the area made the Ming army ant attack more effective.

On the top of the city, as the chaos intensified, more and more soldiers from the Ming army climbed to the city. Some were the prisoners who were attacking the city, and one of the Ming army set up a formation and began to advance in a row to gain more space for the subsequent Ming army.

The aisle above the city wall is not wide, even if it is the east wall of Guangxin Mansion City, it has been specially reinforced. The mandarin duck formation quickly played a greater role under this terrain, forcing more Qing troops to turn their attention to these Ming troops who had already climbed the city wall.

After a while, the Qing army fell on the top of the city and became larger and larger. The first mandarin duck formation began to form formations on the top of the city and killed the Qing army. After a while, the second mandarin duck formation also formed formations and rushed in the other direction. Seeing this, a Qing army artillery captain took the Ming army's shooting and took nine or two tigers to load a tiger squat cannon, and then aimed at the direction of the Ming army's mandarin duck formation and pressed the torch on the lead.

“Get out of here!”

It was not too late to shout this, but there was only so much space on the top of the city. Most of the Qing troops dodged to both sides, and one of them flipped directly from the top of the city, but the Qing troops who were fighting with the Mandarin Duck Formation were still unable to avoid it.

After the shotgun, the casualties between the Ming and Qing armies were almost the same. After the Ming army's Yuanyang formation was damaged, they quickly changed their formation, transforming from a small three-level formation that was conducive to the attack to a big three-level formation, and began to enter a defensive state to wait for support. On the Qing army, there were even a large squad of soldiers rushing up the stairs on the inside under the leadership of the officers.

When the battle reached this stage, even a straw could affect the ownership of the victory and defeat. The Qing army was still rushing upwards in a hurry. The Ming army's battle formation was broken and was quickly forced to retreat step by step. However, the next Ming army that climbed the ladder, carrying a zipper wrapped in iron, was not an infantryman in the Yuanyang formation system.

The Mandarin Duck Formation urgently needs to be supplemented, but the order of boarding the ship cannot take care of this unexpected situation. Fortunately, although this soldier is not what the Mandarin Duck Formation desires, the threat to the Qing army after he climbed to the top of the city was far greater than that of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

The soldier was tall and big, and he knew that his arms were extremely powerful. But he saw that he took out a round and black iron ball from the cloth bag he was carrying around his waist. The fire broke out as soon as it blew, and it directly hit the thread of the iron ball.

The lead ignition means an explosion. The grand occasion of the revolutionary party throwing bombs at the city entrance in the late Qing Dynasty was about to appear at the city entrance of Guangxin Mansion more than two hundred years in advance. However, a carved feathered arrow flew straight from the direction of the city gate tower and penetrated into the grenadier's throat.

After Wang Fuchen shot an arrow, his heart was full of panic and he quickly persuaded Hong Chengchou. But at this moment, the grenade was covered with his hands and the moment the grenade fell to the ground, a prisoner who was driven to climb the city picked up the grenade and threw it into the city with his backhand.

Under the city, the Qing army was crowded with the Qing army who were about to climb the city. The grenade fell from the top of the city and had not yet fallen to the ground. There was only a roar, and a large area of ​​Qing army was blown to pieces.

“Beautiful job.”

The captain of the Yuanyang Formation looked at the captive with lingering fear, slapped it on his shoulder heavily, and then said, "Go back to report my name, I will go to the supervisor to testify to you, and your credit will be indispensable."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Taking the grenade and throwing it down, the captive relies entirely on a conditioned reflex. After all, this life-threatening thing fell beside him. If he sat alone, he would be the first to be killed.

However, when the credit was heard, the captain was stunned at first, then picked up the shield that the grenade fell to the ground, cooperated with the waist knife in his hand, and strode into the queue of the mandarin duck formation.

"The prince will win, kill the Tartars!"

……………………

"The sky-shaking thunder is coming to the city!"

The explosion was the first to ring under the city, and the fear of being dominated by grenadiers was reappeared in front of him before ten days, especially when the screams of the thunderous city began to spread rapidly, the fear directly swept away the morale of the Qing army.

However, in a blink of an eye, the Qing army under the city was in chaos and immediately fled in scattered areas. The Qing army, who were still fighting for this small area with the Ming army who were climbing the city, instantly lost the courage to continue fighting. They either knelt down and asked to surrender, or turned around in a hurry to run down the city.

The morale of the Qing army collapsed like a wooden tower in the flames. Hu Quancai's prediction came true. After a few days, the grenade became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Yang Jie, who was originally trying hard to command the defenders to fight, was stunned. Then he pulled out his sword and wiped it straight on his neck. He followed Tan Tai to suppress Jin Shengheng, and Wang Deren stayed in Jiangxi anyway. He participated in the Nanchang Massacre that five years ago, which caused the death of more than 200,000 people. Instead of waiting for the capture and suffering from the suffering of being cut into pieces like Zhang Yong under the city, it would be better to break it by yourself.
