Chapter 537 Reinforcements are coming soon
The Ming army moved quickly, and the Changqiao paved the moat and climbed the city ladders one after another.
"Shoot! Shoot the arrow!" Wu Liuqi waved his sword on the top of the city and roared angrily.
The Qing army on the city wall was suppressed by the Ming army's muskets. As soon as a Qing army pulled the bowstring and stood up to shoot, they were shot in the chest by a projectile. A blood mist rose in front of the chest, and they screamed and fell from the city wall.
The Qing army generals roared loudly, but the Qing army did not dare to protrude their heads. The convex gun could only shoot through the perforation hole, while the archers hid behind the walls, shooting arrows with arrows facing the sky.
In this way, the convex gun had dead spots to shoot, and could not attack the Ming army that rushed to the foot of the city wall. The arrows shot by the Qing army archers were even more accurate. They were all based on luck and could not stop the Ming army's attack.
At this time, the Ming soldiers who rushed to the city were scattered under the city walls. The stairs of the city were raised and raised high above the city head, and then they hung the iron hook at the top of the ladder.
The ladder was raised, and the Ming army under the city immediately rushed up with shield soldiers, swords, and along the long ladder, facing sharp arrows and rolling stones, and rushed up without fear.
A Ming soldier had just climbed to halfway and was hit by a stone on the front of the city. The man and the stone fell from the city stairs together. However, the Ming soldier behind him did not hesitate at all. He rushed up the city with his shield and rushed up the top of the city in a blink of an eye.
The Qing army spears pierced, and several spears pierced from the surroundings. The Ming army soldiers jumped onto the top of the city and immediately rolled to the ground to avoid the spearhead. Then they swept the sword, blood splattered, and chopped down a Qing army.
The Qing army hugged the broken leg and fell to the ground to wail, screaming with shrill sounds. The other Qing army immediately withdrew their spears and stabbed them at the Ming army again. At this moment, another Ming army jumped onto the top of the city and chopped over another Qing army from behind.
For a moment, hesitated to suppress the muskets, and the Qing army could not stop the Ming army from entering the city. On the walls of the southern city of Taizhou, the Ming army continued to jump onto the top of the city.
One charge killed the city, which gave the Qing army a great psychological impact. However, as the Ming army entered the city, the musketeers behind the shield car were prone to injuring their own people by chance, so they gradually stopped bombarding.
At this time, the two armies fought fiercely on the top of the city. The Qing soldiers continued to fall into the pool of blood. A Ming army on the top of the city was stabbed into the abdomen by several spears at the same time. The Ming army was well-equipped and the spearhead failed to completely pierce the armor. Several Qing soldiers roared and pushed the Ming army to the edge of the city wall with spears. The Ming soldiers widened their eyes fiercely, grabbed the gun stick that was stabbed into the abdomen with both hands, and let out a fierce roar from their mouths, which made the Qing army frightened.
The Qing soldiers drew out their spears at the same time. The Ming soldiers were blood flowing like springs, and they still smiled and waved their swords and slashed them angrily, and finally slowly fell to the top of the city.
"Hold on, and throw the enemy soldiers down the city!" Wu Liuqi roared in anger in the fierce battle.
One hour after the battle began, the Ming army climbed to the top of the city. The Qing army, which had a good geographical location, had no advantage in defending. The Taizhou defenders could only struggle to support and look forward to the Yangzhou reinforcements coming soon.
On a hill south and west of Taizhou City, a group of Qing soldiers roared over the hillside and came to the top of the hill.
The general in the head was wearing white armor and with a shrill eyes. A Qing general behind him suddenly caught up and said anxiously: "Prince, Taizhou is ahead. The scout reported that there are more than 10,000 Ming troops deployed defenses in the west of the city. We can't move forward!"
When Ajige heard the words, he ran for a while before he stopped the reins of the horse. The cavalry behind him immediately stopped and stood behind him.
"Qianli Mirror!" Ajige had a calm face and immediately presented the Qianli Mirror behind him.
At this time, Ajige pulled out the Mile Mile Mile Mile and placed it in front of him to watch it, looking in the direction of Taizhou City.
The hill is located in the southwest of Taizhou. You can see the North and South City. Ajige's ears are the sound of artillery roars and explosions from afar. Through the thousand-mile mirror, he saw the Ming army's figures everywhere in the southern city of Taizhou. Qing soldiers were constantly thrown by the Ming army. The flags of the green camp were cut off one by one, and some of the city walls had already been erected on the blue sun and moon flags of Donghai Town.
Ajige frowned, "Zhao Zamao's soldiers, indeed, the tiger and wolf army is so fierce!"
"Prince, depending on the situation, Wu Liuqi can't hold on for a day. Should we immediately dispatch troops to reinforce!" said the general on the side.
Everyone stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Taizhou City from afar. They had to admit that the Ming army in Donghai Town was indeed powerful and put the flag on the top of Taizhou City so quickly.
Depending on the situation, the Qing army in the city could no longer hold on. If the Qing army in Yangzhou did not support it, Taizhou might be over soon.
Ajige put down the Qianli Mile Mile, but suddenly asked, "What's going on in Jiangning?"
"Prince, Governor Fan wrote a letter, and Zhu Yihai raised an army and rushed towards Jiangning. Governor Fan had already asked someone to withdraw his troops at night and retreated all the people on the south bank to the north bank." The Qing general next to him replied.
Ajige asked again: "What is the reaction of the Ming army who entered Anqing?"
"Report to the prince, the Ming army occupying Anqing is moving eastward without stopping, obviously trying to seize Jiangning with Zhu Yihai!" The Qing general replied.
Zhu Yihai and Chu Gan's Ming army rushed to Jiangning, which shows that Feng Quan may have succeeded, and Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yihai have been attracted by Jiangning.
"Okay!" Ajige smiled sinisterly, "Don't worry about Taizhou. Without my king's orders, no one is allowed to fight."
"Prince, what should Wu Liuqi do?" the Qing general next to him exclaimed.
Ajige said in a deep voice: "The Qing Dynasty will remember him!"
As he was talking, under the hill, a group of Ming army scouts discovered the Qing army on the hill and rushed over.
"Bang bang bang" A gunshot was heard, and the projectiles shot by the Ming army's muskets passed by Ajige and others, causing dirt and branches to splash.
"No, the Ming cavalry is here!" The Qing army exclaimed.
"Retreat!" Ajige immediately pulled out his horse's reins and led his subordinates down the hillside, rushing westward.
When it was dark, there were more and more Ming troops in Taizhou City. Wu Liuqi was sweating profusely commanding the Qing army to defend, and was already exhausted from dealing with it.
He never expected that the Ming army in Donghai Town was so fierce that his subordinates were no match for them at all.
Seeing the Ming army gradually spread across the city, he realized that he was too arrogant. Zhao Zamao was in the world and was full of powerful soldiers in his hands. His subordinates' Green Camp was not worthy of carrying shoes for Donghai Town.
"Military gate, the city gate can't stand it anymore, and I need support in urgent need?" A thousand general ran over and ran.
Wu Liuqi hurriedly retreated from the battle group, hid behind his personal soldiers, and said anxiously: "Is there no movement in the west yet?"
"There is no movement, and I didn't even see a bird!" Mr. Qian looked annoyed.
Wu Liuqi frowned. The wolf smoke had already gone. Nearly 200,000 Qing troops gathered near Yangzhou. The nearest Qing troops were only a few dozen miles away from Taizhou. It was impossible for no movement.
"No! The city gate is broken!" Suddenly, the Qing army in the city was in an uproar.
