Compared with the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry with horses, the fate of the Han Eight Banners infantry who could only walk on foot was tragic. The dragoons of the Ming army www.biquge.info followed closely behind, shooting with a double-barreled short gun from a distance, slashing and slashing with a saber when they got close, ramming with a war horse, trampling with a horse's hooves, and killing the retreat of the Han Eight Banner infantry into a bloody road.

Where could the two legs of the infantry outrun the cavalry, and the infantry of the Han Eight Banners who refused to surrender were caught up one after another, either cutting off their heads or trampling into pulp. Finally, someone understood the current affairs and began to surrender on their knees.

The Ming army also ignored the Han Eight Banner infantry who surrendered on their knees, rode over to the side, and handed over the surrendered Han Eight Banner infantry to the Ming army auxiliaries and Minzhuang who came behind. Of course, there were also some Han Eight Banner infantry who knelt and surrendered on the ground were more unlucky, kneeling in the middle of the official road, blocking the way of the dragoons. As for the people who stand in the way, whether it is intentional or not, the end is needless to say, and it is impossible for the Ming cavalry to avoid it, but directly trample on the past and trample those people into pulp.

"Surrender or kill?" Some Han Eight Banner soldiers shouted and scolded in horror.

"We're in the way! Get out of here! A veteran of the Eight Banners of Han shouted.

This time, the blindless Han Eight Banner soldiers finally learned wisely, and knelt on the side of the road one after another, making way for the Ming cavalry pursuing their companions.

"General, there are fake Tartars coming out of the city!" Just when Xu Shixian led the cavalry to chase and kill the Han Eight Banner Army, a sentry rode a horse to report it.

"Divide the troops, divide three hundred people to continue the pursuit of the Han Eight Banners! For the rest, follow Lao Tzu to hunt down the fake Tartars! Xu Shixian decisively gave an order.

Xu Shixian took the detachment of 700 cavalry to the gate of Xiangyang North City to intercept the Qing army of the Green Camp who fled from the city.

There was a large village in front of it, and now this village was completely controlled by the Ming army, and there were constantly auxiliary soldiers and people who came out of the village and escorted back a group of dejected Eight Banner soldiers to take prisoners.

Xu Shixian led the cavalry into the village, and after changing horses inside, he rode to the direction of the North City Gate to intercept the Qing army.

The city was already unable to hold it, and a part of the Green Camp Qing army found that the gate of the north city was opened, and the eight banners who were high on weekdays fled from the north gate, and they also escaped from the city. After leaving the city, the Green Battalion Qing soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that there was no Ming army ambush outside the city! Although there were gunshots in the distance, they all thought that the Eight Banners who had gone out of the city in advance were being chased and killed by the Ming army, and the Ming army should not be able to take care of them for a while. So the Green Battalion fled northwest.

However, the Qing army of the green camp who escaped from the city did not be happy for long, and some people were horrified to see that dust was flying on the official road in front, and a group of Ming cavalry chased and killed them!

"The Ming army is coming!" The Qing troops of the Green Battalion, who had no fighting spirit, immediately scattered and fled. Unconsciously, they changed the name of the Ming Army from Ming Dog to Ming Army.

Xu Shixian did not directly intercept the Qing army from the front, but opened a passage for the green battalion soldiers to run over, and then led the cavalry to cover the killing from behind.

All the Green Battalion soldiers were running, and no one thought of resisting for a while, and each Green Battalion soldier spread their legs and ran desperately. They knew they couldn't outrun the cavalry, and they just wanted to outrun their comrades. But to no avail, when the Ming cavalry scared away the Qing army in the green camp and began to cover from behind, the auxiliaries and Minzhuang also came out to pick up the prisoners. The Qing army of the green battalion who surrendered on their knees, as long as they did not block the road, the Ming cavalry passed by the side.

The auxiliaries and Minzhuang in the back came up and took the prisoners with them.

The cavalry in front continued to pursue the Qing army, and those who refused to surrender on their knees, and some Qing soldiers who were relatively slow to react and forgot to surrender on their knees, were all killed. More and more Qing troops surrendered, and the number of people fleeing in front became smaller and smaller, and the pursuit lasted until noon, and the Qing troops in the green camp who escaped from the city did not run away, most of them were captured, and some were killed.

In Xiangyang City, the Ming army has occupied all the blocks of the outer city and surrounded the inner city like an iron barrel.

On the moat outside the city, the Ming army built two pontoon bridges, and a large number of infantry, artillery, auxiliaries and people entered the city. The Ming army auxiliaries and Minzhuang drove mules, horses, donkeys, and oxen, pulled artillery carts, passed the pontoon bridge, and entered the city.

After the heavy artillery entered the city, the Ming army set up cannons outside the inner city of Xiangyang and aimed them at the inner city.

The inner city of Xiangyang is still relatively strong, but there is no perverted moat like the outer city. Now, with the siege ability of the Ming army, as long as it does not encounter a city with a wide moat, it can be easily conquered. The power of artillery is getting bigger and bigger, and the ability to destroy the city wall is also more powerful, and the ordinary city wall can't resist it at all.

The Ming army concentrated long-barreled cannons and sixty-four-pounder mortars and launched a heavy artillery bombardment on a section of the city wall. The shelling began on the afternoon of 20 October and continued until the afternoon of 22 October, and after two days and two nights of non-stop shelling, a huge gap was finally opened in the inner city of Xiangyang.

It was also during the artillery bombardment of the Ming army that the Qing army in the city built a fortification behind the artillery position of the Ming army. However, the Qing army had just been building the fortifications, and the hot air balloon that took off found that the Qing army was building the fortifications in the city, so they called for mortars and aimed at the Qing troops who were building the fortifications.

After nightfall, the Qing army built fortifications overnight to plug the gap. At night, the hot air balloons of the Ming army could not see the movement in the city, but at dawn, the hot air balloon found the fortifications repaired by the Qing army, and called for mortar bombardment.

After a few rounds of shelling, the fortifications that the Qing army had repaired overnight were razed to the ground.

With the cooperation of hot air balloons and mortars, the fortifications used by the Qing army to plug the gap could not be completed at all.

"Kill!" A large number of Ming troops poured into the city through the gap.

The battle has reached this point, and even the fierce and abnormal Ganshan Green Battalion has completely lost its fighting spirit. After the Ming army entered the city, the Qing army of the Ganshan Green Camp began to surrender in batches.

When the battle of Xiangyang finally came to an end, Sukh Saha led more than a dozen Goshkha and launched a suicidal charge against the Ming army that poured into the city, only to be beaten into a hornet's nest by rows of muskets. The rest of the Ganshan Green Battalion and the Eight Banners all surrendered, and at this point, Xiangyang City completely fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Besides, Feiyangu, who fled for his life outside the city, had been on the run for two days and two nights. The Ming dragoons were in hot pursuit, and the chasing Ming dragoons were one person and two horses, changing horses to pursue. The Eight Banners of the Qing Army were also one man and two horses, and they fled frantically in front.

"It's Nanyang in front! As long as we run another twenty miles, we can escape into Nanyang City! A Goshha reported to Fyangu.

Just when the Qing army saw that it could escape the pursuit of the Ming army and successfully escape into Nanyang, a cannon rang out on the official road ahead, and a team of Ming cavalry killed from the official road, blocking the retreat of the Manmeng Eight Banners. This Ming army played the handsome flag with the word "Wu", and the general flag with the word "Gao" written on it, which was obviously Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses.

"Goldjack is here! Kill the dog! The leader of the Ming army brandished a spear and galloped on his horse.
