The two sides fought fiercely under the city of Zhendingfu for a whole day, the fourth town of the Tianwei army was supported by the Gaojie musket battalion and the artillery in the city, and barely withstood the crazy attack of the Qing army, however, in just one day, it caused huge casualties to the fourth town of the Tianwei army, as for the city wall of the south of Zhendingfu, under the bombardment of artillery, it was even more crumbling, these walls were just barely stacked with wall bricks, very unstable, not to mention artillery, I am afraid that even the hammer of the city can not be stopped, The main Manchurian force of Duoduo was also equipped with a large number of artillery, as many as forty or fifty guns, and the city walls were already dilapidated as soon as the artillery bombardment was down.

Fortunately, Gao Jie's musket battalion is still relatively powerful, from the two wings with the musket battalion of the fourth town, full firepower, the Qing army's crazy attack was finally suppressed, after the musket battalion and cavalry were broken, the entire fourth town slowly withdrew into Zhending Mansion.

Duoduo in the back wanted to pounce on it and leave the fourth town in front of him, but unfortunately, Li Dingguo and Gao Jie were not good at stubble, after the musket camp was broken, the artillery at the head of the city was also constantly shelling, and the cavalry came up less, not enough to give the Ming army musket battalion to cushion the stomach, and the cavalry came up more, and this small area in front of the city gate could not be opened.

Duoduo could only order the artillery to continue the artillery bombardment, trying to inflict the maximum damage on the soldiers of the fourth town.

This blow is really not small, the artillery bombardment on both sides is extremely fast, but the fourth town is crowded in front of the city gate, do not enter the city, then only all the battle died under the city, the Qing army's strength is too strong, and they are all the elite main force of Manchuria, all the cavalry, the fourth town Tianwei army is blocked under the city, even if Li Dingguo's combat strength is unparalleled, the soldiers of the Tianwei army are brave, and they will definitely not be able to escape. Entering the city, you can only withstand the fierce artillery power of the Qing army this time.

A day's battle, so that the Tianwei army directly reduced the number of four or five thousand people, almost most of them were lost under the artillery attack of the Qing army, too unlucky, under the city gate, the crowded Tianwei army soldiers can only brave the artillery fire into the city, this is still the Tianwei army is well-trained, even if it enters the city, it is lined up in an orderly manner, but the speed has accelerated a lot, if you rush up, the casualties will be more.

"Dog's day, this account has been written down for you!"

Back in the city, Li Dingguo got the report of the casualties of his brothers, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and roared.

"Brother Ning Yu, don't be too sad, Duoduo has already prepared for coming this time, and the soldiers are strong, and there are artillery to help, it's nothing for us to suffer a loss, when Yifan and the others arrive, let's get the field back!"

Sun Chuanting patted Li Dingguo's shoulder and comforted him gently.

Gao Jie on the side said in a low voice: "Master Inspector, Brother Ning Yu, and Brother Zhong, this time the situation is a little bad, if it is just the army of Duoduo, then although our troops are at a disadvantage, but we are defending the city, and we will not have the strength to fight back, but the bad is that the Mongolian cavalry in the north has arrived, and they have already fought with them yesterday, the combat power of this Mongolian cavalry is really good, even if it cannot be compared with the two yellow flags and two white flags, at least it is not much weaker than the two blue flags and two yellow flags, Now we are facing the main force of Manchuria and the Mongol cavalry on both sides, with more than 100,000 troops, which is twice as many as ours......

Sun Chuanting's face was also a little solemn, he was naturally aware of the bad situation he was facing, it was already difficult enough to concentrate his troops to deal with Duoduo's seventy or eighty thousand troops, after all, he only had the soldiers of the fourth town and the front town of Nanjing to be able to match the main force of Manchuria, and the back town of Nanjing was still a little hot, and as for Fengyang Town, it was directly more than one grade worse; This is not the most sinister, the most sinister thing is that the Mongolian cavalry has also come to the city, and the front and back are flanked, and the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry is also a strong enemy!

"No matter what, we must not let the Manchurian cavalry break out from the direction of Zhending, it won't take long, I think Yifan's army will pursue to the city of Zhendingfu, and now the army around Jianghuai has defeated Azig, and now it is not far from us, as long as we can hold Zhendingfu, then it will be the end of the main force of Manchuria, and even the Mongolian cavalry is in danger, but all this is based on holding Zhendingfu!"

Sun Chuanting replied in a deep voice, "Gao Jie, you and Zhong Yue led the troops of Nanjing Qianzhen and Fengyang Town to be responsible for the defense of the west and north cities, don't let the Mongolian cavalry take advantage of it, they lack siege artillery, relying on the cavalry alone to attack the city, there is almost no possibility, so transfer your musket battalion to the south city, me and Ning Yu sit in the south city and the east city, and confront the main force of Manchuria, ten days, at most twenty days, I think Xu Yifan will definitely be able to rush to the city of Zhendingfu, now our task is to fight even to the last man, It is absolutely impossible to let the main force of Manchuria cross the thunder pool by half a step! ”

Sun Chuanting urgently deployed the defense of Zhending Mansion, and Duoduo was not idle, and now Duoduo has received the news that the Mongolian cavalry soldiers are coming to Zhending Mansion.

Although in the process of attacking the fourth town of the Tianwei Army, the casualties of the Qing army were not small, but it was obvious that this time it was the Manchurian elite who had the upper hand, and a chaotic artillery caused huge casualties to the Ming army in the end.

"Now, the best place for us to attack is not in the South City, but in the West City! If you want to break through Zhending Mansion, I suggest that the artillery that hit us bombarded Xicheng with all your might, and it would not take two or three days for the entire city wall of Xicheng to collapse, because when Sun Chuanting attacked Zhending Mansion, Xicheng was the first to bear the brunt, suffered the most fierce artillery fire, and was injured in the end, it was only ten days later, and the city wall was not repaired at all, it was the best time for us to start! ”

Abatai on the side said in a deep voice.

Duoduo's eyes burst with light, and he sneered: "Abatai, since you said so, then mobilize thirty artillery pieces, and give you 20,000 cavalry, storm Xicheng, in the shortest possible time, we must break through the Xicheng city wall, and the remaining troops, with me to resist the southern city, attack on both sides, Sun Chuanting is dead this time!" ”

In the next two days, Duoduo, Zilharang, and Abatai led the three-way army to besiege Zhending Mansion, and the onslaught continued, blowing up Zhending Mansion beyond recognition, and there was gunsmoke and war everywhere, seeing that the city defense of Zhending Mansion was still unsustainable!
