Chapter 635 Yangzhou Offensive and Defensive Battle
Chapter 635 Yangzhou Attack and Defense (please reward)
Collapse! Collapse!
Bang bang bang!
The bow strings trembled and arrows flew.
Arrows fell one after another towards the Qing army's array.
Phew! Phew!
The arrow was like a meteor, piercing through the human body easily.
Blood spurts!
The harassment by Wu Tuo and others from cavalry and shooting had a great impact on the retreating Qing army.
The Qing army was in retreat and its morale was low.
Now being chased by the Ming army's cavalry, some of the Qing army's green battalion soldiers, who had very poor toughness, collapsed immediately.
The entire beachfront along the river was full of broken soldiers with their helmets and armor abandoned.
Wutuo drew out the saber from his waist and whizzed past the Qing army's formation.
The sharp saber was held by his side, and with the speed of the war horse, it passed over the necks of the defeated Qing soldiers.
Phew! Phew!
The sharp saber followed the charge of the horse.
It easily cut through the flesh and severed the hard spine.
Heads were thrown away and blood was spilled!
The naked war horse and armor were instantly covered with sticky blood.
The cavalry of the Ming army shamelessly covered up the defeated troops, charging, charging, charging continuously!
Attack again and again, full of vigor!
It seems that all enemies are vulnerable to them.
Fei Yanggu watched the Ming army's cavalry roaring on the battlefield, killing his own soldiers and horses, and the expression on his face kept changing.
ordered.
"Send an order to the cavalry and horse teams to meet the enemy and cover the main force of the infantry to withdraw to Yangzhou!"
After Fei Yanggu's order was issued, a Qing army elite cavalry broke away from the main formation and killed Wutuo's troops.
Seeing this scene, Wutuo's face was filled with excitement instead of fear.
"My sons, follow me and kill!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Serve your Majesty!"
Both sides are cavalry, and they are heading towards each other.
In just the blink of an eye, they collided with each other.
In just an instant, people collided with each other, and horses collided with each other. Blood spurted out, and bones and flesh were reduced to pieces.
"Kill!"
Wu took off the saber in his hand, and the sharp saber struck the man on the opposite side's cotton armor mercilessly.
The blade of the blade came into contact with the cotton armor, and with the speed of the horse, it easily tore a hole in the cotton armor.
Even the iron piece embedded in the cotton armor was cut with a big hole!
The blade of the knife grazed the waist and abdomen of the Qing cavalry on the opposite side. After the cotton armor was cut open, the human skin and flesh were also cut open.
Under the action of abdominal pressure, internal organs and blood spurt out from the wound.
The actions of the Qing cavalry on the opposite side were almost the same as Wu Tuo's. However, the Qing cavalry's saber slashed at Wu Tuo's armor, but it was not able to break the armor.
The sharp saber collided with the armor, causing large sparks to appear.
But apart from leaving an obvious scratch on the armor, there was no other achievement.
The protective power of the iron armor equipped by the Ming army was not comparable to the cotton armor of the Qing army!
If the Qing army's sword comes over, the probability of breaking the armor is not high!
The cavalry from both sides passed by each other. After one confrontation, they each turned their horses and prepared for the second confrontation.
The sound of horse hooves filled the entire battlefield!
The cavalry roared past, seeming to crush everything.
In this collision, the casualty ratio between the Ming and Qing armies reached an astonishing three to one.
The Qing army suffered three casualties, and the Ming army suffered one casualty!
While the cavalry from both sides was clashing, more and more Ming troops landed and assembled on the beach of the Yangtze River.
The main force of the Qing army also retreated to Yangzhou along the official route.
After several confrontations, the cavalry from both sides began to disengage and retreated from the battlefield when they saw that the winner could not be determined for a while.
…
More and more Ming troops landed, and field artillery and siege artillery were unloaded one after another.
Even countless rockets and several hot air balloons were transported to Jiangbei.
The main force of the Ming army began to leave the beach and marched towards Yangzhou in formation.
The neat marching array and the red armor surging like a wave created great oppression on the Yangzhou defenders.
The Qing army retreated to Yangzhou City, blocked the four gates of Yangzhou, and prepared to defend the city.
A large number of stones, rolled wood, and boiled gold juice were all transported to the city by Feiyanggu.
In addition, he also recruited a large number of civilians in Yangzhou City to prepare to fight with them to resist the Ming army's attack.
The Ming Dynasty's attack on Yangzhou City started with shelling.
Hot air balloons rose into the sky one after another, providing targeted and accurate shooting elements for our artillery units.
Amidst the roaring roar of heavy artillery, countless shells hit the city wall mercilessly.
The tall and solid city walls were equally vulnerable to heavy artillery fire.
In just the blink of an eye, many dense cracks appeared on the walls of Yangzhou City.
Some explosive bombs were even thrown directly into Yangzhou City!
Amidst the rumbling explosions, there were clouds of fire and thick smoke billowing in the city of Yangzhou.
The shock wave generated by the explosive bomb explosion easily leveled wooden buildings to the ground.
Fei Yanggu got off the city wall to avoid the cannon, his face dark.
The Qing army made a good move in retreating to Yangzhou City.
Although the Ming army is still shelling Yangzhou City, the gap between siege artillery, field artillery and naval artillery is still huge.
Now the intensity of the Ming army's shelling is obviously much lower than during the fierce fighting on the river bank!
The deafening shelling continued for a long time, and the Ming army's gunners poured out firepower unbridled.
The barrels of the heavy cannons even turned red!
The mobilization of the Qing army in Yangzhou City was almost entirely seen by the Ming army's hot air balloons flying in the sky.
Every time the Qing army mobilized its troops, the Ming army's artillery fire would be adjusted quickly, and the Qing army in the city would be dealt a heavy blow across the city.
Artillery shells fell mercilessly into the gathering Qing army formation, and the shells exploded, harvesting lives unscrupulously.
The solid cannonballs rolled and rotated, turning complete human bodies into broken corpses!
The Ming army was not in a hurry to attack Yangzhou City!
Instead, they continued to use shelling to torture the Qing army in Yangzhou City.
Countless heavy artillery shells hit the city wall, and masonry fragments continued to fall off the main building of the city wall.
The Ming army's shelling lasted for almost a whole day!
Until the Yangzhou city wall collapsed, and as smoke and dust filled the air, a large gap appeared in the city wall.
In an instant, the Ming army's bombardment stopped abruptly!
The drum order of the Chinese army changed, and elite soldiers and horses rushed into the battlefield one after another, heading straight towards Yangzhou City.
…
Seeing the city wall of Yangzhou collapse, Fei Yanggu's face was filled with unconcealable fear and he gave an order.
"Send the order and ask the defenders to withdraw into the city and resist at every level!"
"The governor has already written to the imperial court asking for help. We must insist on the arrival of the imperial court's reinforcements!"
"We can't let the Ming thieves take Yangzhou!"
"Defend to Yangzhou, long live the Qing Dynasty!"
"Defend to Yangzhou, long live the Qing Dynasty!"
"..."
The shouts and shouts sounded one after another, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
