    "Shoot! Shoot arrows! Throw grenades! Smash sheep's head stones! Throw kerosene! Throw torches and gunpowder packs! Cannonballs! Throw all the cannonballs down!"

    Amidst the hoarse roar of Qin Yong, Fatty Lu's cousin, hundreds of Fatty Army guards on the tower of Jubao Gate started to fight back in a frantic manner, firing arrows at the Qing soldiers in Urn City with bows and muskets in their hands.  Those who didn't have time to carry their weapons picked up all the materials that could be used on the city wall, whether it was stone tiles or shells and grenades, and smashed them into the urn, but the quantity was sparse and did not cause great casualties to the Qing soldiers.

    Although the defensive preparations of the Fatty Army were obviously insufficient, and the counterattack was very unorganized, but it was difficult for the 5,000 Qing cavalry to evade the blows from above in the narrow urn city, and there were still a lot of casualties.  However, the cavalry of the Qing army were not completely passively beaten. Those carrying bows and arrows drew bows and shot arrows to kill the fat soldiers on the city wall. The muskets they carried were confiscated because of the gunpowder, so they simply built human ladders to climb up, and used human ladders to attack Nanjing.  city ??walls.

    At this stage in the war, the weakness of the Fatty Army's insufficient defenders has been completely exposed. Although they have perfect fortifications and sufficient supplies for defending the city, they suffer from insufficient manpower to perform, and even cannot destroy the Qing army's fragile human ladder attack.  At the same time, he had to take into account the long walls of the three urns, and his manpower was even more limited. Taking care of one thing and losing the other, he actually let more than 20 Qing soldiers climb up the city wall through human ladders. When Qin Yong hurriedly led his soldiers to make up for the omission, they went up  However, the Qing soldiers in the city had quickly moved closer to each other and seized two sections of the city wall.

    At the critical moment, the first batch of about two hundred reinforcements led by General Cao Guoxing of the Fatty Army finally arrived and rushed to the city wall to help defend the city. At the same time, the neighboring Sanshan Gate and Tongji Gate also squeezed out from the pitifully weak defenders.  Gathered some troops, rushed along the city wall to rescue.  Qin Yong heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly organized some men to rush to the Qing soldiers who had climbed the wall. While throwing grenades to prevent the Qing army from continuing to climb the city, they fought desperately with the Qing soldiers who had already climbed the wall.

    "Boom, boom!" Smaller explosions sounded one after another, and the original black powder and grenades collected and used intensively by the Qing army exploded at the last gate of the city.  However, what our prince of Zhangtai County cursed was that the explosive power of the original black powder is too small, and the explosive power is greatly reduced in the open air. Although the explosive power of the grenade with three good explosives inside is great, it is impossible to pull hundreds of grenades at the same time.  Huan Zhuo and the soldiers of the Qing army were not proficient in blasting techniques, so they could only try their best to bundle together and blast the middle bundle of grenades. As a result, the middle bundle of grenades exploded with the black powder, but the shock wave sent  The rest of the grenades flew all over the sky, scattered the explosions, and the impact on the city gate was greatly reduced again, not to mention, they also killed and injured many Qing soldiers in the urn city.

    Finally, when the gunpowder smoke cleared, the prince of Zhangtai County started to curse again. It turned out that after all the gunpowder and grenades were wasted, the Qing army¡¯s explosion this time only blew up some cracks and a big hole in the last city gate.  , but the whole is basically safe and sound, still blocking the progress of the Qing army.

    "Axeman, come on! Cleave the city gate!" Zhu Man was afraid of being whipped by the prince of Zhangtai County again, so he quickly ordered the axeman in the team to step forward and slash the city gate with an axe. It turned out that this  The trick was indeed quite effective. The gate of Nanjing, which was blasted by grenades and black powder, was constantly shattered in front of the Qing army's big axe, and the gate opening gradually expanded.  Seeing this scene, the prince of Zhangtai County finally didn't get angry on the spot, but kept yelling in the safe passage of the city gate, "Quick! Quick! Make sure to open the gate before Wugou's reinforcements arrive!"

    Ever since, a strange battle unfolded that was hard to see even in the era of cold weapons. The few fat soldiers on the city wall desperately smashed everything that could hurt people, whether it was bricks, tiles or grain bag braziers  , Throwing something into the urn, under the city wall, the soldiers of the Qing army swung their axes and slashed at the thick city gate.  Before they tried their best to climb the city, the shouts of killing resounded like thunder. Although the scale of the battle was small, the degree of intensity and tension was far better than any battle of the same scale.

    Here I have to thank Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan again (the reason for the name of Jubao Gate is that Shen Wansan buried his cornucopia in the foundation when he built the gate).  Modern firearms are also difficult to destroy, and they are more than 20 meters high. Therefore, no matter how few guards of the Fat Man Army, it is very difficult for the soldiers of the Qing Army to climb the city. The number of soldiers who can climb the city wall is always limited.  Both reinforcements and counterattacks bought precious time.

    When the last city gate was cut into a hole the size of a washbasin by the Qing army's knives and axes, Xie Dong, who was already wearing a pair of trousers with Fatty Lu, led more than 500 people from the yamen servants and family members, rushed up the city wall and threw themselves into the battlefield;  ?Immediately, everyone was scared out of their wits, and hurriedly reined in their horses, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, run quickly! It is the Qing Dynasty God of War, Prince Zhang Taizhang! Run quickly, or we will die!"

    "It's Lord Zhang! It's Lord Zhang! Run!"

    "It's the Great Qing God of War, Prince Chang! Brothers, run! We're doomed¡ª!"

    "Help! It's Prince Zhang¡ª¡ª!"

    Amidst the hoarse screams, the fat cavalrymen who came to kill them turned their horses one after another, and fled to the south where there was no one else.  , leaving the cavalry of the Qing army who were already preparing to flee for their lives stunned, so surprised that they could hardly believe their eyes, let alone their ears¡ªwhen did our Prince Zhang become so famous?  ?

    "Haha, Wu Gou is frightened by this king's prestige!" The prince of Zhangtai County suddenly realized, and laughed triumphantly: "This king just said, when he sees this king's banner, does Wu Dog have any reason not to run away?  Team Wugou is smart, if he really dares to offend this king, Hu Wei, this king will definitely kill them all!"

    "We are not dreaming, are we?" Zhu Man and other Qing army generals and soldiers looked at each other, saying nothing, never thought that we, Prince Zhang Taizhang, who fought with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" all day long, would have such a prominent reputation, and even reach the  To the point where the Fatty Army was frightened!

    What shocked the soldiers of the Qing army was still behind. When the prince of Zhangtai County returned to Tongling with a large amount of luggage and passed through Taipingfu City, the fat army in Taiping City did not dare to go out of the city to intercept it.  Prince Zhang, the war god of the Qing Dynasty, came and closed the city gate tightly, not daring to fire a single shot, and let the prince of Zhangtai County lead the army to pass under Taiping City swaggeringly.

    When we arrived near Wuhu, Han Daren, who had already beaten Le Erjin all over the floor in Fanchang, sent troops to intercept him, but it was probably because Han Daren's army had suffered a lot of losses before.  He was defeated in World War I and was forced to flee back to Wuhu County and stand behind closed doors.  Moreover, a supply team of Han Daren was inadvertently blocked by the team of the prince of Zhangtai County. The fat soldiers screamed that the prince of Zhang was coming and escaped cleanly.  Zhang Wangye's hand.  At this point, Han Daren still didn't dare to send troops to rescue the grain and grass, and could only watch helplessly as our Prince Zhang drove away with the grain cart and returned to Ningguo Mansion, which was controlled by the Qing army.

    After the battle, the name of the Lord of Zhangtai County as the God of War in the Qing Dynasty resounded throughout the world again, frightening the courage of the rebels from all walks of life, and letting Yue Le, Tu Hai, Jie Shu, Le Erjin, Dong Weiguo, Shang Shan, and Lai Ta fight against each other.  Waiting for the face of the so-called famous generals of the Qing Dynasty to be disgraced, they lamented together, "The sky has no eyes!"

    "My Zhao Zilong! My pillar of the Qing Dynasty!" Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty commented on Prince Zhang so excitedly!  (To be continued.
