Chapter 226 Bloody Battle in Tongcheng
The Fuhan army's attack under Tongcheng was quite smooth. It only took one day to destroy the southeast corner of Tongcheng with artillery. Battle.

At the moment when the city wall was blown down, Arsunha was completely paralyzed. Not to mention organizing the counterattack of the Qing army in the city, even standing up became a difficult task. He was completely desperate in his heart, and even started Prepare to think about how to commit suicide.

Compared with Arsun'a who had completely ignored his affairs, Baihuang, Minister of the Ministry of War, still did his best. He commanded the Eight Banners soldiers in the city to block the gap first, and fought with the Fuhan army.

The two thousand and eight banner soldiers in the city also know that the current situation is very bad. If they cannot withstand the offensive of the Fuhan army, let alone them, even the entire Qing Dynasty will be in danger. Therefore, despite the fighting of these people His strength was not high, but he still had the determination to fight to the death, and rushed to the front line with all his might.

This time, as the first attacking regiment, it was the second regiment of the third division. A total of 2000 people had already armed with bayonets and started a bloody fight with the Qing army. However, compared with the past Jiancheng, Tongcheng's The guards were not strong enough, so the fight was overwhelming against the Qing army. A large number of Qing army corpses had already filled the entire southeast corner.

There was a cold light on the dark three-edged bayonet, which formed a sharp contrast with the dark red blood on the ground. After a large number of Fuhan troops joined the battlefield, the number of casualties of the Eight Banners soldiers also increased rapidly. Throughout the afternoon, both sides In this place, repeated contests and entanglements were launched.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners were not that miserable. Many people just came over with their spears and swords. Although they were in an extremely disadvantageous situation, they still did not back down. They even used the piled corpses as a wall to fight back Repeatedly drove off the Fu Han army on the wall.Even though their own casualties were more than twice that of the Fuhan army, these people were still not defeated.

"The morale of my Qing Dynasty is good! In this way, we can be regarded as able to defend the most difficult first wave of siege! As long as the emperor's army arrives later, we will be able to defeat Chu Ni!"

Bai Huang looked at Arsun'a excitedly, and the other party seemed to have gradually regained his confidence, and began to support himself, ready to command the battle.It's just that Bai Huang didn't tell Arson Ah one thing, that is, in just one afternoon, the casualties of the Qing army were as high as more than [-] people, while the corpses left by the Fuhan army were less than [-].

Bai Huang knew that if the fight continued like this, his side would only be able to hold out for two days at most, otherwise all the Qing troops in the city would be dead. Of course, in order to prolong the time of defending the city, Bai Huang had recruited civilians and demolished houses in the city Come to collect the falling rocks when defending the city, and increase every point of confidence when defending the city.

Strictly speaking, Bai Huang's set is quite effective. If the Bailian Sect or Zhu Yigui came to attack, they might not be able to attack in a short time, but it is different if it is replaced by the Fuhan Army. A large number of artillery can completely Suppressing all the actions of the defenders can also bring more tragic casualties to the Qing army. Because of this, it is undoubtedly a dream to defend Tongcheng.

"The Eight Banners seem to have cheered up a little, otherwise, with the current offensive of our army, I think it would be impossible to resist anyway." Ning Yu's face was somewhat emotional. These people are different from the Green Camp. Even if they can't beat them, their morale It has always been very strong.

Li Fu caressed his beard and sighed softly: "Since the Manchus entered the customs, the children of the Eight Banners have all been one nation, divided into Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners. Now they have multiplied for generations, and there are only more than one million people. There are only more than one hundred thousand soldiers, and now the Eight Banners soldiers led by Kangxi account for less than half, if we don't rise up again, sooner or later this Huahua country will be lost."

Ning Yu smiled, pointed at the Eight Banners soldiers who were fighting to the death in Tongcheng, and said loudly: "My Han family's children are more than billions, and there are millions of young and strong people. Even if it's one for one, can Kangxi afford it?"

This is a very simple math problem. It can be said that this math problem has already established the result of the failure of the Qing court. collapse ending.

And what Ning Yu has to do is to drag the Qing court into this cruel strangling battle. As for the so-called green battalion, in this case, it is impossible to gain the complete trust of the Qing court, and there will be no combat power due to years of abuse. , At that time, what else can the Qing court do besides using the Eight Banners to consume?

At this time, the shouts of killing on the city wall became more and more dense, and both sides were fighting for each other's survival. They used spears, bayonets, and everything that could kill people to stab each other into each other's bodies. Get a chance to survive.It's just the final result, but the Fuhan army was still driven down. Although the Qing army paid a very heavy price, the Qing army's banner is still flying over Tongcheng.

Ning Yu looked at all this calmly, and could not help clenching his hands slightly, then loosened them, and put them behind his back.

"Tell Zheng Guoxing, I watched this battle with my own eyes, if I can't take it down tomorrow, I will crash myself on the city wall!"

Zheng Guoxing is the head of the second regiment of the third division. Of course, his background is not simple. He is a direct descendant of the Zheng family. Therefore, after joining the army, his promotion speed is not slow, and he has also become the head of the main third division all the way. position.The painstaking effort paid in this is not too small.

After receiving Ning Yu's order, Zheng Guoxing was also unambiguous, and directly took off the heavy armor on his body, holding a long knife in his hand, and began to attack Tongcheng with his personal guards.

"Three divisions and two regiments will go down to Tongcheng tonight, and those who retreat will be killed!"

The cavalry who sent the order shuttled back and forth in the camp. Most of the soldiers of the Fuhan Army who had just retreated had blood on their faces and were resting. After hearing the order, they immediately got up. They were not afraid of death or losing. Losing the honor of his own group, the feeling of being inferior in front of other brother groups is really uncomfortable.

Today, the three main divisions of the Fuhan Army, of which the second main division is far away in Yunyang, is confronting Nian Gengyao's army. Leaving aside, the first main division and the third main division have fought many tough battles along the way. , almost every regiment has the experience of being the first to ascend, and because of this, no one wants to be left behind, let alone be trampled underfoot.

Right now is the day of the big exam for the Third Division and Second Regiment, Zheng Guoxing is not willing to lose, and neither are the other brothers, and they no longer care about life and death casualties, and started a new wave of offensive after a short rest.

The Qing army in Tongcheng was stunned by the current wave of offensives of the Fuhan army. No matter how strong the Eight Banners soldiers were, no matter how high their morale was, they couldn't hold on now. After all, more than half of the casualties had been fought in this battle , It really added a lot of psychological pressure to the remaining Eight Banners soldiers.

Both sides had no way to retreat, they were only focused on fighting on the small wall, the tragic casualties continued to bled the Qing army, and finally in the middle of the night, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers could no longer bear the loss and began to attack the Qing army. With the retreat of the city, and with the fall of the city wall, it also means that the Qing army's plan to guard Tongcheng basically failed completely.

In the slightly bright early morning night sky, a large banner of the Fuhan Army stood on the top of the Tongcheng wall, fluttering slightly in the wind, with some dark red blood stains and some holes on it, but it looked more and more heroic.
