Chapter 455: Cao Fengnian stands alone in Yunyang

Both sides have a strong desire to win.

The Ming army was to survive, while the Qing army was to make the women in the city, gold and silver.

No one wants to be the failed party.

Ordinary lives disappeared in this war, as humble as ants.

The Qing army was obviously better at combat effectiveness, but the Ming army had a stronger desire to survive.

Both sides can kill you and you can't figure it out.

The Qing army in this house finally managed to kill the city, but was immediately driven down by the Ming army who flocked to it.

Cao Fengnian even took the battle personally and chopped off the heads of two Qing soldiers.

As for Wu Sangui under the city, he had to be much calmer.

He was not in a hurry at all, because he firmly believed that the Qing army could take Yunyang without the darkness.

Until now, our soldiers have not been put into battle. Those who serve as cannon fodder are all green camp soldiers who can be sacrificed.

The Qing army can afford it, but can the Ming army and the others afford it?

......

......

"Report! General Cao, Beicheng requests reinforcements!"

"Report! General Cao, Dongcheng can't hold on anymore!"

"Report! General Cao, Nancheng is being attacked by the Tartars!"

As the battle progressed, the weaknesses of the Ming army gradually became exposed.

Although their number is not at an absolute disadvantage, most of them are recruits.

There is no problem with the recruits fighting with the wind, they just need to shake the flag and shout.

But new recruits cannot fight against the wind and balance the power.

The former side with more recruits will be defeated immediately, while the latter side with more recruits will be snowballed by the opponent, which will eventually be exhausted.

Cao Fengnian himself is of course an experienced veteran.

However, most of the soldiers under his command were new recruits. The fatigue of the Ming army was naturally related to this.

Of course, this cannot be entirely attributed to Tuyingsi.

After all, Huguang is so big and the number of experienced veterans is limited, so naturally it is closely guarded by important towns such as Jingzhou and Xiangyang.

It is already good to bring new places like Yunyang Prefecture to the old and bring new ones.

Cao Fengnian was already sweating profusely at this moment.

He actually had a thousand personal soldiers from the Biao battalion.

These people are his confidants who have been fighting with him.

Where did there be a gap? Cao Fengnian led these confidants to put out the fire. But now there are more and more gaps. It is impossible to save the fire just by just these thousand people.

As an experienced veteran, Cao Fengnian certainly knew what the crux of the problem lies.

But this is the fact now. Cao Fengnian can't sprinkle beans and become soldiers, and he will transform into thousands of troops, right?

I can only use these recruits well and hold on for more time.

As time goes by, the governor will always send troops to reinforce, right?

......

......

Wu Sangui, who had been silent and as if he was watching the fire under the city wall, suddenly spoke: "It's time, send my soldiers."

He has been patiently suppressing his soldiers just to wait for this opportunity.

The Ming army is now showing signs of fatigue. Just send elite troops to suddenly attack, which can destroy their fragile confidence.

Wu Sangui had a very exquisite grasp of this degree. After his army appeared, he quickly expanded his advantage and once reached the top of the city.

It was Cao Fengnian who led his personal soldiers to kill him before he could barely rescue him.

Wu Sangui was slightly surprised.

His soldiers were all Guanning Iron Cavalry of that year.

Cao Fengnian's personal soldiers actually fought back and forth with his own soldiers, which is enough to prove that Cao Fengnian's strength is not bad.

Those who can afford such a thousand elite soldiers are definitely not ordinary people.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but pay some attention to Cao Fengnian.

However, no matter how much you pay attention, Wu Sangui firmly believes that he will win in the end.

After all, Cao Fengnian had only one thousand personal soldiers, while Wu Sangui's family had tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if they were carpooling, Cao Fengnian was not his opponent.

"Add more force, within three hours, I will see the Qing Dynasty flag inserted into the city of Yunyang!"

......

......

"Cao Junmen, I can't hold on!"

A personal soldier ran to Cao Fengnian with blood all over his body, knelt down on the ground with a pounce, and cried, "Cao Junmen, why don't you take someone to break through quickly. You are a general, and even if you retreat to the court, you will be punished at most, and you will not hurt your life. Why did you ruin your life for Wu Wendao's dog-day?"

Cao Fengnian was stunned at first, and then cursed: "Bastard, do you think I am the general for the city where Wu Wendao is staying? I am the general for Your Majesty, the court, and the thousands of people who are guarding the city! If I lead my troops to break through, I can certainly save my life. But have you ever thought about the people in the city? Tartars are all things that are worse than beasts. After they break the city, they will probably massacre the city. Even if they don't, they will definitely slaughter the people in the city. Can I do such a thing that makes people stab the backbone?"

The personal soldier looked dark and he lowered his head in shame.

"Today I've left my words here. People are in the city, people are in the city, and people are in the city!"

Cao Fengnian laughed wildly and said, "Wu Sangui's son thought everyone was as cowardly as him, so we would tell him that in addition to the cowardly coward who was as timid as a mouse, there are more men in this world who dare to take responsibility."

"Since the general's intentions have been eliminated, my subordinates will follow the general until his death!"

"Okay, this is like the soldiers I brought out."

Cao Fengnian patted the personal soldier on the shoulder and said with praise.

"Isn't it just dead? My head is gone but I have a big scar. Thirty years later I will be a hero again!"

Cao Fengnian paused and said, "Besides, who wins and who loses, is unknown. Even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and pinch Wu Sangui's throat."

......

......

"Why haven't you taken the head of the city yet?"

Wu Sangui frowned and said unhappily.

An hour passed, and the Qing army still did not take down even a single city. This was very different from his idea.

He originally thought that after a round of consumption, the Ming army was at the end of its strength.

His soldiers could destroy the remaining momentum of the Ming army in just a few rounds of charge, and then take down Yunyang.

But now it seems that the Ming army is still very energetic. They repel the Qing army again and again, and there is no sign of defeat at all.

If this continues, it will completely become a tug-of-war. When will it end?

This can't continue like this anymore.

Wu Sangui had already seen that the main force guarding Yunyang City was Cao Fengnian's one thousand personal soldiers.

Then he would let his soldiers attack from all four walls at the same time. In this way, Cao Fengnian could not save the west and the east, and there would definitely be a wall that would be broken first.

But this will cause greater losses to our soldiers. But now it is no longer the time to take into account these things.

"Come here, I'll let me ask my soldiers to attack with all their strength."

With Wu Sangui's order, the attack method of our soldiers immediately changed. They launched a fierce attack on the four walls like a tide, and the frequency and intensity of the attack were several times that of the previous one.

As expected, the Ming army was a little unable to withstand such a fierce attack, and there were signs of defeat on both sides of the city walls.
