Zhu Yigui came very quickly. When Fulinga learned the news of the Ming army's attack, Zhu Yigui's army had already rushed to Fengyang.

"This is my Ming Dynasty Zhongdu!"

Looking at the Fengyang City in front of you, Zhu Yigui couldn't help but sigh. Although after a hundred years of war, Fengyang, Zhongdu, has long since disappeared from the majesty and demeanor of the past, from the high city walls and the majestic layout, you can still feel the breath of the past.

"Send the order! Attack!"

Zhu Yigui ordered an attack as soon as he arrived in Fengyang. The reason for doing this was to prevent the Qing army from having too much preparation time. Moreover, the Fengyang city wall was very damaged, and attacking Fengyang was not as troublesome as attacking a big city like Yangzhou. In addition, this time, Zhu Yigui also brought a large number of firearms, including many artillery guns to attack the city.

Zhu Yigui was determined to win Fengyang and had to take it down as soon as possible. So after the attack began, the Ming army launched continuous fierce attacks on Fengyang, with countless sounds of artillery fire, shouts, and fighting sounds.

Fengyang defender Fu Ling'a also acted desperately and mobilized all available troops to defend. For the broken area of ​​the city wall, Fu Ling'a directly piled up stone wood to block it. Because there were not enough stone wood, Fu Ling'a directly ordered the demolition of the houses of the people in the city. For a moment, the people in the city complained, but were unable to protect their homes in front of the vicious Qing army.

At the same time, Fulinga also ordered the city to be drawn to guard the city. Fengyang was the city during the Kangxi period. Although Fengyang is not as prosperous as Yangzhou, it cannot be compared with Nanjing. However, Fengyang Prefecture has the jurisdiction of five prefectures and thirteen counties after all, with a total population of more than 800,000. Except for the other prefectures and counties, there are many people in one city, and there are nearly 300,000 residents in the city.

Three hundred thousand people can gather 300,000 strong men with just one draw of ten, not to mention that Fu Ling's place can't control anything else in order to defend Feng Yang? Of course, it is impossible to draw 30,000 strong men at once, whether from time or other perspectives, but Fu Ling's emergency forced more than 10,000 people and forced these strong men into the army. It doesn't matter if there is no weapon, but hatchets or long sticks with spearheads, or even sharpened wooden sticks, as long as they can be used, they can be pulled onto the battlefield.

At the beginning of the war, Fengyang's battle situation was extremely fierce. Under the attack of the artillery fire of the Ming army, the defenders suffered heavy casualties, especially those strong men who had no experience. How could these ordinary people who had just picked up weapons know how to defend the city? When the artillery fire came, the strong men who had been scared to death were either standing blankly or running around like headless flies, and eventually became unjust souls in the artillery fire.

Of course, Fu Linga knew that these people were useless, but at this time these cannon fodder also had the use of cannon fodder. At least the existence of these people could reduce the casualties of the Qing army, and at the same time help guard the city walls with loopholes everywhere.

In order to prevent the cannon fodder from escaping, Fulinga also organized a supervision team, and all those who retreated were executed. In the case of artillery fire in front and back, and in the back, there was a situation where the people could only grit their teeth and persevere, hoping to survive this cruel war.

But even so, it still couldn't stop the Ming army's attack. The gaps blocked with stones and wood were constantly blasted and collapsed in the Ming army's overwhelming artillery fire. Just over an hour after the war started, urgent reports from all over the place were spread to Fuling's place like snowflakes, which made him anxious.

"The general's big thing is not good! Another gap in the east gate was blown open by the rebels!"

"What are you doing? I'll block it immediately!" Fuling Ah roared with red eyes. There were two gaps on the east gate. The first gap was blasted by the Ming army's artillery fire. Fuling Ah took advantage of the effort to block it. Before he could take a breath, the second gap was blasted open.

"No, General, the stones and woods I have prepared are not enough!" Mr. Qian said with a sweat on his head when he reported the message.

"Bastard! Isn't it enough for stone wood to continue demolishing the house? I'll have to teach you these?" Fu Ling's face was ferocious and said fiercely: "Why don't you go quickly! If the thief attacks into the city, I'll chop your head first!"

Mr. Qian responded quickly and stumbled towards the gap that was blasted open. Seeing Mr. Qian leave, Fu Ling'a was not idle either. He pointed to someone beside him and said, "Take people to reinforce quickly, and go and see how many strong men are drawn, and pull the person over and I will hold it tightly!"

"Yeah!" The man quickly called a thousand and then left in a hurry.

"General, this is not possible." A guerrilla general next to Fulinga couldn't help but say: "The thief came too quickly, and his firearm was extremely powerful, like the Fengyang city wall was intact, or he could still have a try. But now Fengyang has been ruined for a long time, even if there are stones and woods, it may be useless. If you want to defend Fengyang, the general needs to find another way."

"Don't I know these?" Fu Ling didn't even beat him up and couldn't help but curse: "If I have a better way, would I still stick to my stamina? You're talking nonsense!"

The guerrilla general looked embarrassed, but he still said: "Actually, based on his humble position, it is a helpless move now. It is better to find other ways to force the rebels to retreat."

"Other way?" Fu Ling'a was going to curse again, and was stunned when she heard this.

The guerrilla general nodded quickly and whispered: "I remember that when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry, but I was able to take over the world. First, my Eight Banners Cavalry and Shooting are invincible, and second, the Han army is the front-lift. These three... are the tactics. Have the general forgotten the tactics passed down by his ancestors? These southern barbarians came from the virtue of the benevolence. If they want to defend Fengyang, the general could only think of ways from these two words."

Fu Ling's eyes suddenly turned wildly, and his expression became even more shady and unstable.

"General, once the city is broken, not only Fengyang cannot defend it, but even Xuzhou may not be able to stop the rebels. Don't forget that the prince has not yet gone south. If the prince is blocked in Xuzhou, the Qing Dynasty will be..."

Fu Ling'a turned his head and looked at the fiercely fighting wall. His ears were filled with continuous fighting sounds accompanied by despair screams. As for the Ming army, the artillery fire was tighter than the other. With his experience, if this continues, Fengyang will indeed not be able to defend. Once it is completely broken, not only will the Fengyang defender be destroyed, but as the guerrilla general said, there is Xuzhou and Prince Cheng!

"That's it! Go and do it quickly!" Fulinga said without hesitation at this moment and gritted his teeth.

The guerrilla general immediately showed joy and called the surrounding Qing army to run into the city quickly. After running for a few words, Fuling's shouting.

"Military information is urgent. No matter who it is, anyone who is dissatisfied will be killed on the spot!"

"Yeah!"
