Chapter 157: Conquering Zhenjiang for the Moon

Under the heavy reward, countless Qing soldiers rushed towards the iron-man soldiers, like hungry wolves.

Although their weapons and armor are not as good as those of the Iron Man Army, they have an absolute advantage in quantity.

Even if there are more than a hundred iron man soldiers on the top of the city, they can still form a situation where ten fights one.

Their plan is to rely on wheel battles to consume the Iron Man.

There is no real iron man, and people will fall.

Wearing more than 40 kilograms of armor, the Iron Man soldiers can certainly protect themselves well, but they also need to pay the corresponding price.

Every time they raise their knife and slash or even move their steps, they consume more physical strength than ordinary soldiers.

But they can't fall down or even stop.

Because only when they stand here and fight with the Donglu, the brothers in the chau have the chance to climb to the top of the city.

They are a whole and someone has to make sacrifices.

The sword slashed on the iron armor and made a clanging sound. The iron soldiers swung their elbows hard at the Qing soldiers like lions who were harassed by wolves.

Elbows wrapped in iron armor are more terrifying than weapons.

Some Qing soldiers were smashed their teeth and their mouths were bleeding.

Some of them were smashed off their chins, and they made some sounds that ordinary people couldn't understand.

The most primitive beast instinct of man is fully reflected at this moment.

"puff!"

An old fist hit the Qing soldiers' face, and their nose was instantly smashed, and the red nose bleeding flowed out and dyed the cotton armor red.

The instantaneous severe pain made him hunched over, and then curled up like a shrimp.

The Iron Man soldiers found that the Qing soldiers were full of flaws, and their bodies were full of traces of weapons.

Even though they were already sweating all over, the iron soldiers had no intention of stopping. They could not stop before the Ming army took the city!

Seeing that the situation was in a stalemate, Guan Xiaozhong's face was very gloomy.

Anyone who beats ten of them will be like this?

What a bunch of trash!

One, two...

Guan Qizhong can clearly see that the Ming army's iron soldiers continue to climb to the top of the city.

The person's eyes were so painful that he wanted to pick out his eyes.

"Roar up and kill all the Ming thieves!"

Guan Qizhen let out a beastly roar.

"No one left!"

But the Qing soldiers stopped moving forward.

After all, the Ironman Army's combat power is too strong.

They want those rewards, but they can't beat the Iron Man Army.

Compared with rewards, fate is more important.

Only by living can you make money.

Seeing this, Lang Tingzuo had to order the elite troops of the Governor-General's camp to press on.

Compared with ordinary green camp soldiers, they have stronger combat power and higher execution ability and obedience.

The pressure from the Governor's Battalion did indeed control the situation for a while.

Their armor and weapons are not much worse than those of the Iron Man Army. The only possibility is that their momentum is weaker.

But they had been raising their energy for a long time, and the Iron Man Army had been fighting fiercely.

The physical strength of both is not at the same level at all.

Sure enough, under the oppression of the Qing soldiers of the Governor Biaoying, the scope of the Iron Man Army gradually narrowed, and in the end it was only a corner of the huddle.

"Brothers, it's time to serve Your Highness. We can't take a step back!"

An iron soldier looked at the mercenary not far away and said in a deep voice.

"Serve your Highness!"

"Serve Your Majesty!"

"Salary to the Ming Dynasty!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The blood dripped along the long knife and dripped on the bluestone slab, which was very shocking.

...

...

The battle lasted for unknown amount of time, and the Ming army and the Qing army fought fiercely for control of the city.

In the end, the Iron Man Army still relied on its tougher will to the end.

However, the Ironman Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, with 500 people killed in the battle alone and more than a thousand injured.

"Please enter the city!"

Surrounded by the personal soldiers, Zheng Chenggong walked into the city with heavy steps.

Zhang Huangyan followed him, with a sad face.

Although they took Zhenjiang, the losses were too heavy.

Is it really worth it to lose more than 10% of elite troops like the Iron Man Army?

What made them even more angry was that Lang Tingzuo and Guan Xiaozhong saw that the situation was wrong and they broke through the other city gate before the city was broken.

Although Zheng Chenggong sent people to chase him, it was difficult to catch up.

"Damn Da Mu, don't be discouraged. Nanjing will be in front of us after taking Zhenjiang. We should take Nanjing in one go."

If Nanjing can be taken, the Ming army's losses will be acceptable.

Now I can only comfort myself like this.

Zheng Chenggong shook his head and sighed: "I never thought the Donglu would be so tenacious. I am sorry for the soldiers of the Iron Man Army."

"Now isn't the time to say depressed words. They are willing to die for you, Damu, but they hope that we can restore Nanjing. If we are deflated now, wouldn't they die in vain?"

"They won't die in vain!"

Zheng Chenggong said resolutely.

"I must take over Nanjing and use loyalty to Lang Tingzuo's two dog thieves to pay tribute to the dead brothers!"

...

...

"Governor General, we have run so far, and the Ming thief should not catch up for the time being. Why don't we take a break?"

Guan Xiaozhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked helplessly.

Fortunately, they ran in time.

If I walk a little later, I am afraid I won’t be able to leave.

"Well, let's take a break first. Wake up!"

Lang Tingzuo tightened the reins of the horse and turned over and dismounted under the service of his personal soldiers.

He brought five thousand soldiers from the Governor's Battalion, and only two thousand were brought back, leaving the rest to Zhenjiang.

This is a complete loss of both the wife and the army.

"Governor General, what should we do next? Will we go back to Nanjing?"

Guan Xiaozhong also turned over and got off the horse and sat next to Lang Tingzuo.

"What are you doing now? Why are you going to Nanjing?"

Lang Tingzuo gave Guan Xiaozhong a blank look and said disdainfully: "Do you think you can defend Nanjing with these remnants?"

Guan Xiaozhong hurriedly said, "That must be impossible to defend. Although Nanjing City is very strong, it is too big. Even ten thousand people guarding one city wall is not enough. How can these remaining soldiers defend it? Isn't that going to send it to the Ming thief?"

"So we won't go to Nanjing."

Lang Tingzuo said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the current plan, we must go to Zhejiang to regroup first."

"But if Nanjing is lost like this, what should the emperor do if he is angry?"

"Just find an official to take the blame, and he said we will go to Zhejiang to inspect and not be in Nanjing."

Lang Tingzuo had already thought of a solution and said slowly.

"Governor General is really awesome!"

Guan Xiaozhong flattered and said, "There are still Shi Lang's elite soldiers in Zhejiang now. As long as the Governor is trained, it may not be impossible to make a comeback."

"I don't know if I can make a comeback, but the world is going to be in chaos."

Lang Tingzuo sighed and said, "Now you and I are the clay Buddhas who cross the river and cannot protect themselves. Don't worry about such family, country and world affairs."
