~~~~~~

In the second half of the first year of Tianqi, after the surprise attack on Zhenjiang, Li Yuanqing stayed in Zhenjiang City for nearly half a year and was very familiar with the topography of the city.

There are two military camps in Zhenjiang City. One is near the north gate, controlling the situation at the north gate and the east gate, and has about seven or eight thousand people. The other one is located near the west gate, and has about ten thousand people.

Li Yuanqing was stationed in Peking University Camp that year.

At this time, it is no different than later generations. Just change the architectural pattern of the city, designate a development area, and use bulldozers to push it over.

If you want to expand the military camp, you need to involve all aspects. Not only is it easy to cause huge conflicts, but it also consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Especially after the Jin army had to raise horses.

In this regard, you have to pay more.

At this time, the intelligence system in the city could no longer contact them, but Li Yuanqing was able to deduce from experience that the size of the Jin army garrison in the city would never exceed ten thousand people.

The only ones who can rush over in such a short time now are the defenders of the Hou Jin Army from the West Camp.

Li Yuanqing has fought many times with the Hou Jin Army. Li Yuanqing understands very clearly that these dog Tatars are still full of primitive animal nature. If he wants to gain the upper hand in the battle with them, he can only be more fierce than them and smash their energy first.

Make them afraid, turn them from wolves to dogs.

The wind and snow were still swaying non-stop, and the world was vast, but the capture of this section of the south gate city wall gave Li Yuanqing the strongest confidence.

"Go up to me and destroy them!"

Li Yuanqing roared hoarsely.

The soldiers in front had been preparing for a long time. In an instant, countless gun soldiers opened fire on the roofs and city walls. The flames surged and the smoke filled the air. They rushed straight towards the Hou Jin Army cavalry rushing towards the street in front.

"The general will be victorious! The Changsheng Camp will be victorious!"

"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"

The pikemen also shouted the most familiar slogans, shouting and marching forward, forming a counterattack with the Jin army's cavalry.

For a time, the battlefield was filled with noise, smoke filled the air, and blood mist rose. It was impossible to tell who was who and who was who.

Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong stood on the outer city wall. Although their position was high enough, there was still a wide urn in front of them, and they could not clearly see the situation ahead.

"Commander, please rest here temporarily. I will take command on the inner wall."

The matter was urgent, and Li Yuanqing had no time to explain to Mao Wenlong, so he rushed to the inner wall.

Mao Wenlong also calmed down at this time, "Yuan Qing, let's break the city together. I don't believe it. How can the dog Tatars turn the world upside down?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Commander, let's go! Let's go together!"

Mao Wenlong also laughed loudly, "Yuan Qing, this is the first time we fight side by side!"

…………

Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong hurriedly climbed up the inner wall of Wengcheng, and the situation on the battlefield became much clearer in an instant.

Near the south gate, there are three east-west streets and one north-south street along the city wall.

At this time, between the ravines and entanglements, there were dense figures everywhere. The horses of the Jin Army charged desperately, while the Ming Army refused to retreat.

The white streets that were originally covered with crystal white snow were already in a mess. Following the biting north wind in the middle of the night, the smell of blood hit our faces.

Mao Wenlong's brows couldn't help but frown tightly.

He had already thought that the war would be tragic, but he never expected that the war could be so tragic.

Although the Ming army was supported by the firepower of the cannon soldiers, the Jin army went crazy and wanted to recapture the south gate. The pikemen of the Changsheng Battalion used their own flesh and blood to build up a flesh-and-blood defense line.

.

But the situation was too chaotic. Even if Mao Wenlong had the intention, he was completely powerless.

In such a situation, whoever takes a step back first will cause a tsunami-like chain reaction and put his companions in danger.

The entire battlefield has completely turned into a hornet's nest. Let alone no soldiers, even if there are soldiers, Mao Wenlong cannot intervene at this time.

Behind them, the main force of the Ming army was still pouring into the city, and in front, the same was true of the Hou Jin army.

No one wants to give up on Zhenjiang City.

Next to him, Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island general's battle flag and the banner with the word "Li" were fluttering in the wind, and Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang battle flag and the banner with the word "Mao" were also standing upright in the wind.

These numerous banners were the greatest confidence of the Ming army. They were like moths rushing to the flame, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they swarmed towards the Hou Jin army in front.

"Yuan Qing, the Tatars are very ferocious! We must find a way! If this continues, the casualties of our sons will be too great!"

When this happened, even Mao Wenlong began to feel sorry for Li Yuanqing.

These are all good guys.

Too much damage here, this...

There was not much expression on Li Yuanqing's handsome face. From the moment he planned to attack the city, he had long expected that this battle would be a severe test that he had never faced before.

This was also the first time that the Ming army changed from defense to offense on a frontal battlefield.

But Li Yuanqing knew very well that his side had already taken the upper hand, and the Jin army would never suffer much better than his side.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Now, let’s see who is more ruthless!!!

"Commander, the Tatars are very powerful. We must suppress their momentum! I believe in you guys! Come and pass on my military orders. Everyone has them. Keep moving forward!"

"yes!"

The soldiers were also a little red-eyed and quickly conveyed the order to the front line.

Feeling Li Yuanqing's power, the Ming army's morale instantly surged, and the shouts of "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories" resounded throughout the sky.

In the vast wind and snow, only the dense red battle formations could be seen, like the tide sweeping into the city, constantly approaching the front at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but be amazed for a moment!

With his experience and eyesight, he could tell at a glance that even when facing the elite cavalry of the Hou Jin Army, Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion actually had the ability to compete with them head-on.

Although the loss of the Changsheng Battalion was equally huge, in terms of sharpness, it was not inferior to the Hou Jin Army.

Even in terms of bravery, the sons of the Changsheng Camp seem to have some upper hand.

this……

Mao Wenlong suddenly realized that he had underestimated Li Yuanqing's strength!

The Changsheng Battalion is such an elite army, although its number is smaller, but in terms of headquarters, no one can match it!

Li Yuanqing had no time to pay attention to Mao Wenlong's thoughts at this time. It had reached this level and he had no intention of keeping it.

If Zhenjiang City cannot be captured as soon as possible, once Hou Jin's reinforcements arrive from other routes, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Seeing that more and more of the main force of the Ming army rushed into the city, and the pikemen in front temporarily resisted the power of the Jin army, Li Yuanqing suddenly showed a piercing sneer at the corner of his mouth.

After a moment, he shouted: "Niu Gensheng!"

"The humble position is here!"

Niu Gensheng hurriedly rushed to Li Yuanqing and knelt down on one knee respectfully.

Li Yuanqing grabbed the lapel of his chest and shouted in a low voice: "On the main street in the middle, you~, lead the pitchers up personally! Kill them for me!"

"Yes!" How dare Niu Gensheng be negligent? With a wave of his hand, he summoned a dozen soldiers, "Sons, follow me!"

…………

At this time, more than a mile away from the main street in the direction of the inner city, Daishan and Amin were also a little red-eyed.

"Slave dog, hurry up, get on top of them! Scatter them away! Whoever dares to step back even half a step, I will cut off his head and use it as a ball to kick. All my family members will be slaves to the armored men!!!"

Amin was like a lion, roaring with some despair.

The family members rewarded the armored men as slaves, which was almost a more terrible punishment than being killed directly.

The so-called armored men are basically uncivilized primitive people living in the deep mountains and old forests. Not only do they live in poor living conditions, they are basically still living in an era where they eat raw hair and drink blood.

If the female relatives reward them, think about it with their buttocks, and everyone will know the consequences.

None of these Houjin warriors dared to neglect and rushed forward like crazy.

On the side, Daishan has calmed down.

He also realized that since Li Yuanqing decided to attack the city, he must have determined to conquer it.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had already taken advantage of him. How could it be so easy to get an advantage from him?

It stands to reason that the wisest plan at this time is to retreat decisively, use the mobility of the Jin army to decisively throw away the Ming army, and wait until they have calmed down before making further calculations.

such a pity.

The location of Zhenjiang City is really crucial.

Whether it's Daishan or Amin, they don't dare to give up Zhenjiang City. Otherwise, even if they are Big Beile, they will never be able to bear the anger of the old slave!

Daishan's teeth hurt from the bite, but in this situation, he could only grit his teeth and endure.

He can only hope that his warriors will strive to defeat the Ming army and drive them out of the city!
