Although Cao Wenzhao did not agree with the military order of the Northeast Army commander? But after all, as a general in the Northeast Army, he naturally needs to think more about the Northeast Army. Cao Wenzhao already knew the details of the reason why the Lord of Ice and Snow City took his time all the way and was not in a hurry to rush to Yangzhou City to support the Ming army.
It¡¯s just that now, Cao Wenzhao is not as good as he was at first. He still wants to persuade the Northeast Army coach? The best thing is for him to agree and send troops to relieve the Ming army from this siege? It can be said that today's small court of the residual Ming Dynasty is no longer the great Ming court of Emperor Chongzhen. Why should I risk the displeasure of my lord and take the life of the Northeast Military Academy for those ungrateful things who are still in a state of drunkenness and dreams? So this time, Cao Wenzhao simply remained silent, even though he was a little worried about the Ming army?
But at this time, the interests of the Northeastern Army were completely placed at the top of their hearts. After just a moment of hesitation, he followed the generals and left the Chinese army's tent together. But just walked not far? Suddenly, he heard the commander of the Northeastern Army shouting to him in a low voice from behind: "General Cao, please stay for now? The military advisor and I still have a very important matter to entrust you to handle?" Cao Wen After hearing the edict, a hint of joy could not help but appear on his face. He turned around hurriedly and responded to the order in a loud voice: "General, I will obey the order." Three days have passed since the Northeast Army set up a joint camp here. The commander of the Northeast Army never mentioned it. When did the Northeast Army send troops to relieve Yangzhou? He locked himself in the Chinese army's tent all day long and went to meet Master Hanke, the military advisor of the Northeast Army. They didn't know what they were discussing?
It¡¯s those Northeastern military academies who have set up joint camps here. But the generals who led the troops still continued to drill all the soldiers and horses in the military camp every day. And the leader of the special forces team has disappeared since the Northeast Army set up a joint camp here? But no one dared to inquire about his whereabouts in private?
After all, the special operations team is a secret force in the Northeast Army, and it is a place that these people look up to. While the Northeastern Army stood still, the Eight Banners Cavalry under Yangzhou City stepped up their offensive against Yangzhou City. And since the Eight Banners Cavalry launched a fierce offensive against Yangzhou City in the early morning of that day, two and a half days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The momentum of the Eight Banners Military Academy¡¯s attack on the city has not weakened at all? On the contrary, it became even more vicious than in the first two days. And even though Shi Ke ordered the military academy under his command, the city walls were covered with water and ice. It is planned to rely on this thick ice wall to make it not easy for the Eight Banners Military Academy under the city to climb to the top of Yangzhou City. It had only been two days, but under a certain section of the Yangzhou city wall, there were already a lot of dead bodies of the Eight Banners Military Academy piled up. The top of the city wall on this side has also become somewhat incomplete.
And even though a lot of water was poured on it, it didn't have much effect? The incompleteness of this city wall was caused when the Eight Banners Military Academy came to attack the Yangzhou city wall on the first day. On the first day, Dorgon ordered his Eight Banners Zhengbai Banner Army and Xiangbai Banner Army to be divided into three groups to launch a fierce attack on Yangzhou City. But Shi Kefa was not willing to show weakness to the enemy. He also ordered his subordinates, the Ming Military Academy and those who came to the city for the first time, and the guards to disperse at the top of the Yangzhou city to resist desperately. Those who were along the ladder and frozen in the ice Legs of mutton on the wall, and the impact of the Eight Banners Military Academy on the top of Yangzhou City.
But without warning, a fire suddenly broke out under a city wall not far from the city gate tower without any warning? The fire was so powerful that it melted the ice on the city wall, causing the city wall inside to be gradually peeled off. A Ming military academy discovered the fire burning under the city wall first. He hurriedly called to the rest of the Ming Military Academy and planned to put out the fire under the city?
But the Eight Banners Military Academy below the city had also been prepared for this. Immediately, the bows and arrows below the city were like locusts, rushing towards the top of Yangzhou City. At the same time, the newly built artillery pieces of the Eight Banners Army also aimed at the head of Yangzhou City and continued to bombard it. As a result, those Ming military academies who were planning to carry buckets to extinguish the flames under the city were unable to get close to the city wall for a while?
Waiting until all the ice on that section of the city wall was baked away, the Eight Banners Military Academy rushed towards Yangzhou City like a rolling tide? In just an instant, dozens of ladders had been erected on this section of the city wall. Like a dense swarm of ants, the Eight Banners Military Academy members climbed up the ladder to the top of the Yangzhou City Wall.
And Shi Kefa also saw that this city wallSeems a bit in danger? He hurriedly ordered one of his lieutenants to summon the one to two hundred Ming Military Academy members and rush to that city wall for reinforcements? The military academies of both sides started a desperate fight and scramble for this section of the city wall, which was just a few feet long. From time to time, the Eight Banners Military Academy was shot down by the opponent's military academy or shot?
It was only before the head of the city's head, but the military school on the head of the city was chopped on the top of the head, and then he fell under the city. In just one morning, there were already several layers of corpses of the military academies of both sides piled up under the city wall. But the Eight Banners Military Academy below the city still shows no intention of retreating? It seems that the other party has already identified it, and is bound to set foot on the Yangzhou city today? But this battle started in the early morning and lasted until after sunset. And that section of the Yangzhou city wall was occupied several times by the Eight Banners Military Academy below the city, but was eventually driven off the city by Shi Kefa's Ming Military Academy? This made Dorgon, who personally supervised the battle under Yangzhou City, see the tragic scene in front of him and couldn't help but admire Shi Kefa a little. The other party was only a civil servant, but he was so strong and unusually strong, and he was also quite methodical in leading troops to fight.
And this Yangzhou city is not like anything he has ever seen. Is it as easy to fight as the other cities? In just one day's work, thousands of Han military academies who were incorporated into the Eight Banners Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner armies died under this section of the city wall. But this is just the beginning. Who knows how many troops the Eight Banners Army will lose in the next few days under Yangzhou City?
As I watched, the sky began to gradually darken, and the military academies of the two armies on top of the city and under the city wall lit up torches one after another, illuminating the city above and below the Yangzhou city. It was brightly lit. The firelight reflected the somewhat red faces of the military academies, and also reflected the steps of the ladders under their feet for those military academies who climbed into the city. After launching another wave of attacks on Yangzhou City, Dorgon suddenly issued a military order? He ordered his generals and subordinates to recall their troops and began to withdraw them all and rush back to the military camp.
Are you ready to have a good night's rest? Waiting for tomorrow to launch a new round of strong attack on the city head of Yangzhou. Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Under the Yangzhou city wall, corpses already piled up to ten feet high were already piled up. Among them were the Ming Dynasty Military Academy on the city and the corpses of the servants and guards. There are also corpses of the Eight Banners Han troops from Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner under the city piled here.
And that section, where the Eight Banners Army launched an all-out attack on the Yangzhou City Wall for the first time? In the end, it could not withstand the successive attacks from the city's artillery fire and trebuchets, causing a section of the city wall to suddenly collapse to the ground. But when the Eight Banners army outside the city, like a flood that broke the embankment, rushed into the city through a gap in the city wall, they encountered desperate resistance from the Ming Dynasty Military Academy in the city.
The two armies were engaged in a battle at the gap that was only two feet wide, regardless of casualties. And the Ming army is not just those military academies, risking their lives to block this gap? Even some of the servants and nurses rushed over to fight without fear of death. At the same time, what surprised the Eight Banners Military Academy outside the city? But it was the Ming archers who stood on the top of the city.
He actually didn¡¯t pay attention to the military academy of which army was crowding at the gap below the city? But he pulled out the bow string, aimed at the gap under the city, and shot the bow and arrow. At the same time, many rolling logs and stones were thrown into the gap. Suddenly, many military academies were killed and injured. Among these military academies that were killed or injured, there were both the Ming Military Academy and the Eight Banners Army's military academies.
After suffering a lot of casualties, Dorgon ordered his military academies to withdraw their troops. On the third day, a new round of attack was launched on the city head of Yangzhou starting from early morning. This fierce battle lasted until after noon. The regent Prince Dorgon was very weird. After throwing a large number of corpses under the city wall, he actually withdrew the army again?
Seeing the Eight Banners cavalry slowly withdrawing their troops and returning back, the Ming military academies who stood around the city all breathed a sigh of relief. Do you think that since the other party is willing to withdraw its troops, it will be the same as the previous two days, and will not continue to send troops to attack Yangzhou City? Even Shi Kefa felt a lot lighter in his heart at this time. He turned around, holding the handle of the sword in his hand, and slowly sat down against the city wall.
