"Xia Yunyi, I will leave this place to you. I will lead my army to support Beicheng!"

After Zhu Changzi said this, he turned around and mounted his horse. He still had two thousand direct guards under him, all of whom were fresh troops.

"After I cleared the Tatars, I rushed to support them!" Xia Yunyi was also anxious. At this time, Fang Guoan led the Ming army to block the Tatars back into the alley, and these Tatars were still resisting desperately.

Beicheng.

Several gaps were opened at the top of the city by cannons. Qing troops were pouring into the city through these openings. The defenders on the city were divided into several sections by the Qing troops.

Yang Tinglin's troops were guarding Zhang Guowei at the city tower. On both sides were Tatars, who were desperately attacking the city tower.

Under the city, Duduo was overjoyed when he heard that the city had been breached, and hurried to the front of the battle to check.

"I, the Eight Banners athletes, are really brave. Tell them, if you capture the Ming Dynasty supervisor alive before dawn, you will be promoted to three levels in a row and rewarded with 10,000 gold!"

Duduo was in a good mood and directly offered a reward to Zhu Changzi.

"I obey, let's go and send a message!" A member of Duduo's bodyguard, Ba Yala, jumped out of his horse and sent a message to the city.

Soon, the Qing army, which had been exhausted from the night battle, suddenly became more morale and squeezed the Ming army at the top of the city.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Dabiao hurried to the tower and found Zhang Guowei and Yang Tinglin.

"To make the platform, the city can no longer be defended. It is better to retreat into the city and fight with the Tatars in the streets!" Zhang Dabiao suggested.

Now the Ming army is divided, each department is fighting on its own, the Qing army's artillery fire is non-stop, and the Ming army is passive everywhere.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to fight in the streets with the Tatars.

Zhang Guowei thought deeply after hearing this. He hesitated a little. The risk of abandoning the city wall was too great.

"To make Taiwan, we can abandon the north city wall, leave one to block the attack in the north city, fight with the Tatars in the streets, concentrate the rest of the troops on the east and west walls, and attack the north city from both ends." Yang Tinglin suggested.

At this time, there were still 10,000 people from Sun Jiaji's troops on the south side of the east city. Although Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's troops were attacking, it was obviously just a feint attack, with heavy thunder and little rain.

Therefore, Sun Jiaji's troops can still mobilize some for counterattack.

The situation was urgent and there was no need to hesitate. Zhang Guowei made a prompt decision and divided two thousand of Yang Tinglin's five thousand men into the hands of General Zhang Dabiao, ordering him to be responsible for blocking the Tatars from going to the city.

Since the city gate had already sealed all the door openings and was very thick, the Qing army would not be able to recover for a while. Therefore, the Qing army at the top of the city had to go down the corridor or lower the city.

Zhang Dabiao’s troops only need to block him at the top of the city.

Yang Tinglin led the remaining 3,000 people to the west city wall and began to counterattack the Qing army at the north city wall.

At the same time, Sun Jiaji's force of 3,000 men guarding the southern city wall was mobilized to push back the Qing army from the east.

Fang Yuanke, who was commanding the remaining troops at the top of the city to fight fiercely, was gradually getting tired of fighting and retreating.

"General! The governor has an order, go down to the city and fight in the streets!" A Zhang Guowei soldier came to deliver the order.

Fang Yuanke was shocked and shouted angrily: "How can we abandon the city head lightly?!"

But seeing that the soldier was holding the Governor's Order Arrow, he had no choice but to lead his troops and start to retreat towards the entrance of the corridor at the tower.

At this time, the Fang camp soldiers originally stationed in the North City had basically suffered all their casualties. On the city wall, the corpses on the ground were covered with a thick layer like fallen leaves.

Fang Yuanke was filled with grief and anger. He only hated that he was weak and unable to support himself. If there were another 30,000 soldiers, he would dare to use his head to ensure that the Qing army could not break the city.

But now that the city walls have been destroyed, how long can the city of Hangzhou be able to sustain itself?

After most of the Ming army withdrew the city wall, the Qing army strangled the remaining Ming troops who were surrounded, and then wanted to go down to the city to pursue them. However, as soon as they got out of the city, they were attacked by a hail of arrows, and they were woven with fire and lead.

A big net caught them and put them down one after another.

Jia Lazhangjing, the Qing army who was ordered to pursue, could not help but be surprised when he saw that the Ming army did not retreat and even organized a defense.

Usually, the Ming army is always undefeated, but once defeated, it is routed thousands of miles away. Today is really strange.

Soon, word of the battle reached Duduo's tent.

"This King Lu really wants to live and die with Hangzhou. I thought it was just words." Duduo smiled at the generals in the tent. Since he led his army to the south, there have been few in Nanjing and Yangzhou.

The city can withstand the mighty Eight Banners, but this mere city of Hangzhou is quite interesting.

"Your Majesty, we have been fighting for a long time. It's time for the warriors to rest." Berenikan reminded.

The Qing army had been attacking continuously for a day and night. Although they had taken the city head, they were at the end of their efforts and could no longer fight.

Duduo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, send the Chinese army to take turns and continue the attack! We must not give the enemy a chance to breathe."

"I obey, I will personally lead the attack!"

Duduo's Chinese army is the last remaining force. It is sent now because it is determined to defeat Hangzhou in a decisive battle.

Nikan understood what Dodo meant and decided to fight in person.

......

In the city, Zhu Changzi arrived in time with his troops and joined Zhang Dabiao's troops.

"The city has been destroyed?"

"Back to the prison country, it's broken, and the Tatar troops are coming to the city."

Zhang Dabiao has deployed troops in the streets and arteries of Beicheng, preparing for street battles with the Qing army.

Iron cables were also pulled up on the Zhonghe and Donghe rivers. Although the cables had been cut by the water gate's thousand-pound gate, the Qing army recovered quickly.

Standing on the Baoshan Bridge, Zhu Changzi felt extremely tired. The water of the East Canal was filled with clear light, and it was another difficult night.

"Report! Coastal Defense Governor Lu Zhenfei leads the Jinghai Navy into the city!"

Zhu Changzi turned around suddenly and saw Xia Yunyi himself riding his horse to report the news.

"Jianguo, the reinforcements have arrived!!!" Xia Yunyi rolled off his horse excitedly, quickly picked up the black gauze hat that fell on the ground, and reported the report with great joy.

"The Jinghai Division has just been built, and its combat strength is not yet known." Although Zhu Changzi was happy, he was also a little worried. Lu Zhenfei's men are probably just new recruits, and they won't be of much use.

"Jianguo, the rebels from Qian Su's club in eastern Zhejiang are here. Lord Lu Zhenfei sent a navy boat to pick them up from the waterway! At this moment, the army is on standby outside the gate of waiting for the tide!" Xia Yunyi patted him.

Thigh, explained hurriedly.

"How many people are there??" Zhu Changzi immediately grabbed Xia Yunyi and said in surprise.

"The 30,000 former troops are disembarking and landing one after another. The Jinghai Division will continue to transfer in the future!" Xia Yunyi stretched out three fingers and marked the numbers.

Zhu Changzi slowly let go of his hand, and his face returned to calm. He didn't expect that the Jinghai navy would come in handy so quickly. Lu Zhenfei really lived up to his trust and was a capable minister.

Seeing that King Lu calmed down, Li Bao also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xia Yunyi said carefully: "I am in charge of the country, and I am bold. The reinforcements have just arrived and the Qing army has not noticed it yet. We can order the Qian Department to surprise Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's troops in the east city, and then use the navy to respond with artillery on the river, which may be able to defeat the enemy."

Zhu Changzi's eyes lit up. Just as Xia Yunyi said, he took advantage of the Qing army's unpreparedness to make a surprise attack. The Qing army fought fiercely for a day, and the reinforcements came by boat and were strong enough.

In addition, the water network in the east of the city is beneficial to the navy. It is also night and it is difficult for the Qing army to distinguish between true and false. Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's troops are already remnants. Such a night attack has a high chance of victory.

"Who is the reinforcement general?" Zhu Changzi asked.

"Back to the prison country, it is Qian Sufan, the fifth brother of the leader of the rebel army. This rebel army is organized by the five Qian Sule brothers." Xia Yunyi has already met Lu Zhenfei, so he knows the specific situation of the rebel army.

"All five brothers joined the army to serve the country... It's so majestic!" Zhu Changzi couldn't help but sigh. Qian Sule dared to take all the men from the family into battle. Qian Sule was really willing to die.

"Do you want Qian Sufan to come see you?" Xia Yunyi asked.

"No need, Yi Zhong will lead the way, I will go to see him personally!" Zhu Changzi smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, from now on, you will be a staff general! I will allocate two thousand direct guards of the palace to you, and you will have a total of them.

Five thousand men and horses guard the north city and block the Qing army from entering the city!"

Zhang Dabiao was so happy that he became a general and he hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

After taking Zhu Changzi away, the servant behind Zhang Dabiao brought wine.

"Boss, oh no, General! Congratulations on your promotion, General!" the servant congratulated.

Zhang Dabiao gently touched the blood stains on his face, then took the wine bowl and drank it in a gulp. He wiped his mouth boldly, remained silent for a moment, and then ordered: "I am not good at defense, only good at attack. Send my order to the whole army."

Follow me and attack the city!"
