Chapter 200 Fierce Battle on Jinhua
The Ming army attacked the city for many days, but was blocked by the Qing army. During this period, Boluo indeed discovered that the Ming army was digging tunnels.
The Qing army dug in the back from the city, found one of the three tunnels, and fought with the Ming army, successfully destroying the tunnel that was almost approaching the city.
This made Boluo quite proud, saying to everyone: "Zhao Zamao's plan is poor, the bandit army is just like this! Just wait for reinforcements to arrive, Zhu Yihai and Zhao Zamao will be defeated."
On July 19th, at noon, the weather was hot.
The ground outside the Ming army camp made the sunlight white.
Because the weather was too hot, the Ming army retreated to the camp after attacking once in the morning, and the soldiers gathered in the shade to rest and rest.
At this time, the soldiers guards at the camp gate each held weapons and suddenly rushed to the back of the horse. They looked at a figure wearing a long gown and a hat from outside the camp and walked over with a mule in a long gown.
The soldiers guarding the camp stopped him and shouted sternly, "Who is the one who rushed to the important area of the military camp!"
The man took off his hat and showed a dark face, holding his fists with great momentum, "Hu Weizong of Songshan, I want to see the commander!"
Soon, Zhao Ming came to the camp gate in person, happily clasped his fists and said, "Brother Hu!"
"Master of the Hall!" Hu Weizong was neither humble nor arrogant, and he clasped his fists with a heroic spirit.
Zhao Ming hurriedly invited him into the camp, sat down in the hall, and then said, "Brother Hu came here in person, but what military information does it have?"
Hu Weizong said: "There is indeed a military report!"
Zhao Ming looked serious, "Can it be that the Qing army reinforcements are coming?"
Hu Weizong nodded and said, "Hong Chengchou sent 40,000 troops, has arrived at Ningguo Mansion and is about to enter Zhejiang. In addition, there are also troops and horses in Hangzhou!"
When Zhao Ming heard the words, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hu, follow me to your highness camp!"
On the night of July 19th, the Ming army ventured to continue digging tunnels, two tunnels, and advanced to the south city.
On the 20th, at the fourth update, Boluo hurried to the top of the city, and Tan Tai greeted him, "Belle!"
Boro said calmly: "What's going on?"
Tan Tai said: "I listened to the soldiers underground reporting that there was another movement underground. It should be that the bandit army was digging the tunnel."
Boluo frowned, but he didn't expect Ming Jun would not give up and said in a deep voice: "Find out and destroy it!"
Tan Tai said: "Now there is no sound! The soldiers are looking for it!"
While talking, there were more torches in the Ming army camp outside the city. A group of Ming soldiers approached the city under the cover of night and shot arrows to the top of the city.
An officer picked it up and handed it to Tan Tai. Tan Tai glanced at it and then turned it over to Boluo.
Without reading Boluo, you can tell that it was Zhu Yihai's letter of surrender, and the Ming army would shoot hundreds of seals into the city almost every night.
These letters were all Zhu Yihai, who was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, who summoned the soldiers of the Green Camp in the city and encouraged the Green Camp to kill the Eight Banners anyway.
Boluo Caocao glanced at it, rubbed it into a ball, and said coldly: "Everything will be confiscated, and the one who holds it privately will be killed!"
At the fifth day of the day, fish white appeared in the east, and the Ming soldiers who had breakfast began to rush out of the camp.
"Master Beile! The thief army was abnormal today!" Tan Tai saw that the Ming army camp almost came out in full swing early in the morning, with a serious expression.
Boro had a smile on his face, "The thief army is abnormal, and it can only mean one thing! That is, reinforcements are coming!"
Boluo continued in a deep voice: "Please pay attention to the Ming army camp. Once the Ming army leaves the camp and heads north, report immediately and prepare to attack the Ming army!"
At this time, the Ming army outside the city had gathered under the city and prepared to launch a new day's offensive.
Boluo glanced at it and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Hmph, Zhu Yihai, Zhao Zamao, you also want to break through the city that Benbeile defended!"
After a while, the sun came out and Boluo ordered the Qing army's troops to raise their spirits and attack the Ming army.
Outside the city, the Ming army soldiers were arranged in formation according to their duties.
After breakfast, the Ming army soldiers cheered up and attacked for several days. The thunder and raindrops were loud. Today, they finally wanted to play the game and chew this hard bone.
After a few days of feint attack, the Ming army had already figured out the characteristics of Jiannu defending the city and understood the distribution and use of Jiannu's equipment.
In the Ming army array, the generals cheered up their subordinates and explained the things to pay attention to instigation.
Suddenly, someone saw Zhu Yihai coming to patrol surrounded by several great commanders.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
In the Ming army formation, soldiers saluted one after another. Zhu Yihai wandered around the formations and kept raising his horse whips to signal to the soldiers, inspiring the morale of the Ming army.
The national crown prince, with a noble status, is a symbol of the country and the successor of the empire.
When Song Zhenzong came to the front line in person, the morale of the Song army was greatly shocked. The sound of long live the sky, which shocked the Liao army.
Now, wherever Zhu Yihai's figure goes, there is a burst of cheers. The sound of cheers shakes the world and lasts forever.
Zhu Yihai rode a horse around various formations, feeling excited. After walking around, the sun had already revealed half of his face and the sky was already bright.
At this time, Zhu Yihai returned to the Central Army's Daqian and asked: "How are you preparing on both sides of the east and west?"
Zhang Mingzhen said: "It is ready and will attack before our army. In addition, Zhao Bo'an will personally lead thousands of troops to ambush outside the northern city to intercept and kill the enemy who breaks through."
In the western suburbs of the city, Zheng Chenggong's white horse and Yin Kai held a long spear in his hand and stood tall in front of the formation. Behind him were 20,000 soldiers, arranged in blocks, standing silently, with only flags on each side, full of murderous aura.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong saw that the time had arrived, and suddenly raised his iron spear, urged his war horse, and ran before the troops.
He raised his iron spear, galloped back and forth, and screamed loudly. The eyes of the Ming army in various formations moved with him. Wherever he ran, the soldiers' eyes followed, and burst into shouts that were higher and higher than the waves.
In a moment, the morale of the soldiers was motivated, and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers were excited and shouting loudly.
In the eastern suburbs of the city, the Ming soldiers lined up also shouted. Ma Shiao saw tens of thousands of soldiers cheering, and he drew his sword and shouted angrily, "Attack!"
Almost at the same time, Zheng Chenggong ceased his horse, pointed his iron spear forward with his finger, and shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy! Crash!"
After the military order, the Ming army on both sides immediately rushed towards the city like a tide.
"Your Highness, the attack begins on both sides of the east and west!" Zhang Mingzhen said.
Zhu Yihai nodded slightly, "Li Aiqing, are you ready?"
Li Chengdong clasped his fists, "Your Highness, you are ready! Just wait for your Highness to issue an order!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yihai nodded and asked again: "General, are the iron barrel cannons properly arranged!"
Fang Guoan clasped his fists and said, "Report to your Highness, you have already set out to enter the trench below the city!"
Zhu Yihai was waiting to be excited when he heard the words, slowly drew out his sword and pointed forward, "Attack!"
"Kill!" The horn sounded, and the square formations scattered forward under the city, and the soldiers launched a surging attack!
