No words all night.

The next morning, the next morning, the military camp began to bury pots and cook rice.

The smoke from cooking cooking is curling, and the aroma of rice porridge is boiling makes people's appetite greatly boosted.

The Ming army finished breakfast as fast as possible and then began to prepare for siege.

Wang Liuhu, Chen Tiecheng, Wang Ergou and others were eager to try.

This was their first battle after joining the Ming army, so we naturally had to play well.

The lonely Tuxian Town seemed a little small in front of the vast array of Ming army.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the snare drum to ring.

"Rumbling!"

With great anticipation, the sound of war drums finally rang out.

Under Li Laiheng's order, the field cannons pushed by the Ming army aimed at the top of the city.

This is the first time that Thirteen companies have used this new type of artillery in actual combat.

If you say that His Majesty the Emperor is so broad-minded and trusts them very much, he actually allocated dozens of the best artillery to them.

Although this small cannon is not as powerful as the Red Cannon, it is very easy to transport and is conducive to carrying during large-scale marches.

Overall, the practical value of field artillery is significantly higher.

Accompanied by the sound of cannons, the cannonballs smashed towards the city wall from all directions.

In an instant, several large pits were smashed into the rammed earth wall.

Many Qing soldiers on the city were directly blown away, and many were directly killed.

"Continue to shoot, don't stop!"

Li Laiheng ordered coldly.

He would not order a general attack without blowing up a hole in the city wall.

This is responsible for the lives of the soldiers.

The Qing army on the top of the city had never seen such a formation. They were so scared that they crawled on the ground and didn't even dare to raise their heads.

The artillery fire was everywhere, and the city tower was smashed to pieces.

This formation alone scared the Qing army.

"Oh my God, the Ming thief is too brave. No wonder Huguang and Jiangxi can't defend it, and even Nanjing is lost."

"Who said no? Why don't we surrender? If we continue to carry on, we may all be fried into meat paste."

"Oh, but I heard that the thief was very cruel. After breaking the city, all the Qing soldiers were chopped down without leaving any left. Their heads were hung on the city gate tower, and many of them could not be hung down!"

"Hiss, it's true. If this is the case, then you'll surrender! Just fight the Ming thief to the end. Even if we have to die, we have to pull two people on the back. In this way, we won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"

"Yes, fight with the Ming thief to the end! Kill one and make one profit! Kill two and make one pair!"

After a brief conversation, the two Qing army generals reached an agreement.

Although they knew they would not last long, they were really not willing to let it go if they just took off their weapons and slaughtered them.

But when the artillery fire was a little weaker, they immediately sat on the ground with their backs and looked out.

Oh my god, the Ming army is densely packed, one after another.

Look at this situation, there must be at least 50,000 or 60,000 people?

With so many people, even if they spit out one mouthful of spit, they will have to drown them?

But since the decision has been made, there is naturally no chance to go back on my word.

What's even more terrifying is that they actually found that several large holes were blasted out of the city wall, each of which could accommodate an adult through!

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army launched a charge. Although it was just infantry, the sound was like a big earthquake shattering!

The Qing soldiers were frightened and it took a long time to react.

"Quick, block these big holes!"

The Qing soldiers carried stones to block the entrance. Although they could barely block them, they were definitely incomparable to the original completely integrated city wall.

But now I can only use it.

"Shoot the arrow and shoot these Ming thieves to death!"

The Qing army general roared hysterically.

"Kill the Bright Thief, or they will enter the city to kill us!"

Without excessive mobilization, every Qing soldier in front of the most basic life and death was exerted.

Bend the bow and arrow and shoot it in one go.

Although the Ming army's defense was very good, it would still be shot by some stray arrows.

Some soldiers fell down screaming.

The bandits led by Wang Liuhu suffered the most casualties.

After all, they have almost no armor protection, so they can withstand the rain of arrows with their flesh and blood purely!

Although Wang Liuhu was helpless, he had to grit his teeth and persevere to the end.

Only in this way can General Li Laiheng see their sincerity.

Isn’t this how non-direct troops come from since ancient times?

To gain trust, you must make some contributions.

"Brothers, we have been tolerating the Tartars for a long time! This time we will count together with their new and old hatreds!"

Many bandits who fell into the grass had hatred and the Qing army, so they were naturally very hard at this moment.

Although people were shot and fell to the ground from time to time, no one complained.

Gradually, the Ming army had rushed to the city.

They raised the prepared ladder and laid it on the rammed earth wall.

Compared with the city of the prefecture and provincial capitals, the city walls of the county are too low.

Although the big hole smashed by artillery has been blocked, the Ming army can still quickly climb to the city through the ladder to pose a threat to the Qing army.

The problem of shortage of Qing soldiers was fully exposed at this moment. They could defend against one place and could not stop many waves from coming at the same time.

"Hurry up, drive the Ming thief down!"

Seeing that Ming soldiers climbed to the top of the city so soon, Qing generals couldn't help it.

Although they are ready to die, they still have to struggle when things come to an end.

They picked up the horizontal sword and slashed at the Ming soldiers who were emerging, suppressing the momentum of the Ming army for a while.

After all, they have the advantage of the terrain, and it can still pose a threat to the Ming army if they give it a try.

But the Ming army was like a wave of waves, and one wave could not be done and another wave could be followed.

Gradually, the Qing army's physical strength problems occurred.

Under this high-intensity confrontation, their physical energy was consumed too quickly!

At first, dozens of Ming soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and then they turned into hundreds, thousands...

The Ming army quickly stabilized its position at the top of the city, and not long after, the number of Ming troops at the top of the city exceeded that of the Qing army.

The hand-to-hand combat is bloody.

From time to time, soldiers fell down, of course, there were more Qing soldiers falling down.

The situation quickly got out of control. The remaining Qing army had no choice but to give up fighting for control of the city and fled from the horse road.

Although I know I will definitely not be able to leave the city, I can live for a moment.

Li Laiheng showed a smile on his face.

This battle was simpler than Li Laiheng imagined.

Before he could exert his strength, the Qing army fell down.

There is no need to worry about the next thing, Li Laiheng just needs to wait to enter the city.

As their first battle after entering Fengyang, this battle was a good start.

Li Laiheng knew very well that the political significance of taking over Fengyang was far higher than economic interests.

As long as Fengyang is taken down, two of the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty will be held in their hands, which will be of great benefit to the morale of the people who are fighting against the Qing Dynasty in the world.

Li Laiheng will also become a famous general who is as famous as Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong because of this battle.
