Chapter 220: Reinforcements Arrive (2)

"Shoot!"

Behind a row of houses, there were hundreds of Qing soldiers riding on war horses and bending bows and arrows, and after hundreds of arrows were thrown into the sky, they crossed the houses and shot at the Ming soldiers on the other side.

"Whew! "More than 30 Ming soldiers were hit by arrows, and this scene was staged in many places.

At the same time, from time to time, some Qing army iron cavalry suddenly rushed out of the alley at the corner, whether it was into the ordinary Ming army, or directly into the military formation of the Ying Long army, all caused a lot of casualties, so that the Ying Long army had to fire in a bayonet formation, once a Qing army iron cavalry suddenly rushed into the formation, they used bayonets to pick and kill.

As more and more Duoduo troops entered the city at the north gate of the rear, the pressure on the rear increased greatly, and Ji Feng and Yan Yingyuan had to transfer 3,000 of the 10,000 Ying Long troops who attacked Tuoyue's army from the front to the rear reinforcements.

Seeing that the Ming army had attacked only half the distance from the south gate, Tuo Yue gritted his teeth and ordered to block it at all costs, fighting to the death without retreating, he believed that even if the musket in the hands of Ying Longjun was sharp, it was impossible to have unlimited ammunition, as long as the ammunition of Ying Long's army was exhausted, the Qing Iron Cavalry had no restrictions, and under the fierce charge, the Ming army was not allowed to be slaughtered.

Indeed, the ammunition of the Ying Long Army is not unlimited, and by this time, most of the ammunition of the Ying Long Army has been used, and each Ying Long Army soldier has less than twenty rounds of ammunition left at most, and it can only support for half an hour at most.

The 7,000 Ying Long army was not enough to repel Tuo Yue's 40,000 iron cavalry, and seeing that there was not much ammunition left, Ji Feng and Yan Yingyuan were extremely anxious.

Although there were still 50,000 troops in the army at this time, nearly 20,000 were originally surrounded on the hillside and had already been exhausted, and if they fought head-on with the Qing army's iron cavalry, it was tantamount to being sent up and slaughtered, in fact, only 20,000 Yinglong troops and more than 10,000 Lingnan troops could fight.

Ying Long's army relied on muskets to shoot from a distance, and it didn't take much physical strength, otherwise the four thousand soldiers of the First Army in Ying Long's army would also be physically exhausted.

"Grandma's, Lao Tzu's Lingnan Army is not a vegetarian!" Chang Shunhou's Lingnan Army followed the nearly 20,000 exhausted Jining Army and was protected in the center by Yinglong's army before and after, and Chang Shunhou felt very aggrieved.

"Brothers, kill the captives with this general soldier!" Chang Shunhou roared, and led the remaining more than 10,000 Lingnan troops under his command to cross the protection of the Ying Long army and kill the army of Tuoyue in front.

Ji Feng and Yan Yingyuan did not stop it, in fact, the ammunition of the Ying Long army was about to run out, if the 7,000 Ying Long army used to attack the Tuoyue army could be repelled with the cooperation of the Lingnan army, and it would be best to attack the south gate.

"Ying Long Army, attack and advance quickly!" Ji Feng and Yan Yingyuan ordered loudly.

The Tuoyue army in front of him was all cavalry, and on the war horse, Ying Long's army was not afraid of accidentally injuring the soldiers of the Lingnan Army who were fighting with the Tuoyue army.

With the cooperation of the Lingnan Army, nearly 7,000 soldiers of the Yinglong Army kept firing, and hundreds of Qing troops fell.

Tuo Yue gritted his teeth with an iron face, Ying Longjun's musket was still too powerful, and in less than an hour of fighting, his army of more than 40,000 people had thousands of dead and wounded, and now there were only more than 36,000 left.

"Damn Minggou, I don't believe you can have so much ammo." Tuo Yue's eyes were red, and he let go, the Qing Dynasty's more than 200,000 troops besieged less than 50,000 Ming troops, if the Ming army finally broke through, it would be too shameful, this is absolutely not allowed.

In the rear, more than 100,000 Qing army cavalry had entered the city from the north gate, and the main general Duoduo also followed.

In the face of Ying Longjun's muskets, the Qing Iron Cavalry could not charge at all, and could only consume Ying Longjun's ammunition step by step, and Duoduo also gave an order at all costs to consume Ying Longjun's ammunition as much as possible.

"Grandma's, it's at all costs!" After Chang Shun slashed and killed a Qing soldier again, he scolded angrily.

Although the Qing army in front fell wave after wave, with heavy casualties, it still rushed up in a steady stream, and it was simply fatal, although Chang Shunhou led the Lingnan army to cover with more than 6,000 Ying Long troops, but the Qing army in front was densely packed, and it was difficult to advance at all.

Nearly half an hour later, although at least 3,000 casualties were inflicted on the Tuoyue army in front of them, Ji Feng and Yan Yingyuan were not at all happy, because they had only advanced a few hundred meters in the half hour just now, and there were at least more than a thousand meters away from the south gate of Xue Cheng, but at this time, the ammunition of some Yinglong soldiers had bottomed out, and more and more Yinglong soldiers had exhausted their ammunition, and nearly half of Yinglong's army had run out of ammunition.

"Oops! Ying Longjun has no ammunition! Yan Yingyuan glanced at Ji Feng in horror.

Once the Ying Long army ran out of ammunition and could not break through from the south gate of Xuecheng, in the face of the siege of more than 200,000 Qing troops, they had only one way to annihilate the whole army.

"No, let's fight to the death!" Ji Feng sighed, he was already ready to die on the hillside outside the north gate, but now it was just a little too late.

"There are tens of thousands of Qing soldiers killed in this battle, I won't lose anything, let's die in battle!" Yan Yingyuan also sighed, and then smiled heroically.

"The soldiers of the Yinglong Army, kill the captives, and swear not to be slaves of the country!" Yan Yingyuan shouted at the countless Yinglong soldiers beside him.

"Kill the captives! Kill the captives! Countless soldiers of the Ying Long Army held the bayonets in their hands tightly, although the ammunition was gone, they still had bayonets, and the Ying Long Army did not have people who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Hahahaha, lord! Minggou has finally run out of ammunition, and it is our turn to slaughter them! A Qing army general said excitedly to Duoduo.

Ying Longjun's musket limited the mobility of the Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry, and all the Qing soldiers were holding their breath in their hearts, and at this time, seeing the abominable Ming Yinglong Army's musket in his hand was finally dumb, they all cheered excitedly, and their faces showed extremely hideous expressions, as if they saw the scene of their immediate slaughter of the Ming army.

"The Great Qing Iron Cavalry charged, kill all the Ming troops!" Dodor immediately ordered.

Tuo Yue's side also ordered, and countless Qing soldiers cheered and shouted to kill the sky, and rode their horses towards the Ming army, which still had more than 40,000 men and horses, including Ying Long's army.

At this time, although there were still 40,000 people in the Ming army, nearly half of them were still hungry and exhausted in the Jining army, and those who really still had the strength to face the Qing army face to face were only more than 14,000 people in Yan Yingyuan's Yinglong Army Fourth Army and more than 8,000 people in Chang Shunhou's Lingnan Army, adding up to more than 20,000 people.

"Grandma, is it possible that Lao Tzu is going to confess here today?" Chang Shunhou spat on the ground fiercely.

"Die or die! It's worth it to be able to fight like this with Qing Yu! Chang Shunhou scolded and scolded, but he was also ready to die in battle.

"Fight to the death!"

Just when Ji Feng, Yan Yingyuan and the others were facing a desperate situation and preparing to fight to the death.

Suddenly, for some reason, there was chaos in the front of the Tuoyue army, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing came, it turned out that someone had killed from the south gate and attacked the rear of the Tuoyue army.

"Reinforcements!" Ji Feng, Yan Yingyuan and the others both widened their eyes, they were overjoyed, at this time, there was a reinforcement army arriving, they didn't have to think about it, they also thought that it must be the reinforcements sent by the emperor from Xuzhou.

"Brothers, the emperor has sent reinforcements! Kill! The arrival of reinforcements made the desperate soldiers burst out in a shocking attempt to survive**, everyone worked hard, and their morale was greatly boosted, even the Jining army, which had long been exhausted, was once again like the original on the hillside outside the north gate, and there was a force in the body invisibly.

Immediately, there were still 30,000 horses left in the Tuoyue army blocking the direction of the south gate and were attacked from both sides, and they were soon defeated and retreated, and the road to the south gate was opened by Zheng Sen and Ji Feng, Yan Yingyuan and others, and the army was completely withdrawn from the south gate.

"It's a failure again!" At this last moment, Ming reinforcements arrived, and Duoduo only felt a sweetness in his throat, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
