The raging flood swept over like a thousand horses.In the blink of an eye, the flood rushed to the city and began to pour into the city gate, and the Qing troops and sandbags blocking the gate were all washed away, and the soldiers were washed to the ground, and the heads of people were washed into the city with their heads undulating in the water.In the city, there were wails and exclamations, the army and the people climbed the walls and roofs one after another, and the food and supplies were washed away by the flood, and the city was a miserable scene.It rained for several days, and the Qing army did not pile up any materials on the city wall at all, and the water suddenly rushed in, and the Qing army had no time to transfer and carry the materials to the high places, and the Qing army's grain in the city was all submerged in the water.When the water was close to dark, it poured into the city, and for the first hour the water rose so rapidly that it did not reach the waist in the blink of an eye, causing despair and fright, but the water calmed down considerably, and the soldiers and the people, who fled to the wall, found that the water had not overflowed the wall, and became much quieter.In the early morning, the city wall was crowded with Qing troops and people, Zhang Cunren, Ma Guanghui and Huang Shu, who had not yet made it, were all trapped in the city."
Nakado-sama!"
Ma Guanghui walked over with a gloomy face.Zhang Cunren said in a deep voice: "What's the situation?
”"The army has not suffered much losses, but the supplies are all lost, and it won't last long!"
Ma Guanghui gritted his teeth, and there was some panic in his tone.He just made an inspection and found that the situation was extremely bad, the Qing soldiers did not die much, but tens of thousands of people had nothing, crowded on the city wall, there was no need to attack, and it would not take a few days to completely collapse.Hangzhou City was originally a city with thick walls and sufficient soldiers, Ma Guanghui was very confident in defending the city, but now seeing the Qing army crowded on the city wall, Ma Guanghui had no bottom in his heart.Zhang Cunren heard the panic in his heart, and said with a calm face: "The terrain around Hangzhou is flat, the flood will not last long, at most in a day or two, the water will recede, the flooded grain will be exposed, and the situation can still be recovered!"
”Zhang Cunren Jiuzhen Hangzhou, for the surrounding terrain has a certain understanding, the tide is the largest at the beginning of each month and in the middle of the month, and in the middle of the day, in the morning and evening, is the time of the tide.It's morning, and the tide is pouring into the river, and the flood water can't be discharged, and when the tide recedes, the flood water will gradually recede.Although the food and supplies in the city were blistered and suffered heavy losses, they should be able to support the reinforcements and supplies delivered.Ma Guanghui was worried: "Zhongtang, I'm worried that the thief army won't give us a chance!"
”Zhang Cunren's face sank, the Ming army released water to irrigate the city, there must be action behind, and it was impossible to wait for the water to recede before acting.Thinking of this, Zhang Cunren looked at Huang Shu, "Huang Yushi, this governor has prepared a boat, and I ask you to set off immediately and ask the prince for help!"
”In this situation, Zhang Cunren didn't dare to hold on, so he had to ask Man Dahai for help.Huang Shu was frightened, he was just about to leave the city last night, when he suddenly heard the sound of rolling thunder, and then in just half an hour, the water went from his ankles to his neck, almost drowning him.It was fortunate that he was in the city, and with the help of the defenders, he had moved to the city walls, and if he had left the city a moment earlier, he would have been washed away.Huang Shu listened to Zhang Cunren's words and reacted that the originally impregnable city could no longer be guaranteed to be able to hold on.Therefore, he must now return to Zhenjiang and ask Mandahai to send troops to help Hangzhou and avoid the fall of Hangzhou."
Don't worry, Lord Zhongtang, let's go!"
Huang Shu solemnly clenched his fists.Zhang Cunren said: "This matter is very important, Ma Junmen, you will arrange it to ensure that Huang Yushi leaves the city safely." ”At this time, the rain stopped, the sky was already bright, the sun rose from the eastern ground, the sun shone on a muddy flood, and the Qing army and people at the head of the city were awakened by the sun.Suddenly, on the wall of the southern city, the Qing soldiers suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, there are enemy troops killed by boat!"
”As soon as the words came out, there was a commotion of the Qing army on the city wall, Zhang Cunren stood up, raised his hand to look, and sure enough, he saw a red figure moving in the distance.In the early morning, after the Ming soldiers had a full meal, they took small boats and bamboo rafts to kill.On the boat, the Ming soldiers stood with spears, bows and arrows, and muskets, swinging oars and supporting bamboo poles, and quickly approached the city of Hangzhou.Fang Guoan was wearing armor and holding a big gun, standing at the bow of the ship, with a gloomy expression, and when the ship approached the city wall, he immediately waved his gun and roared, "Release the gun, kill all the dogs!"
”The Ming ships accelerated and rushed towards the city wall, and the Qing army in the city suddenly panicked, and the officers hurriedly roared, "Quick, defend, release arrows." ”Most of the Qing troops crowded on the city wall were armed with broadswords and spears, and even lost their weapons, only a few were armed with bows and arrows, and most of the arquebusiers were wet with gunpowder, and the bird guns became burning sticks.The Qing sergeant saw that the Ming army ship was approaching, and his face showed a look of horror, and the Qing sergeant was busy stretching his bow and arrows, and the sporadic arrow rain fell in the water and on the boat, and the Ming sergeant who was hit by the arrow fell into the water screaming.At this time, the Ming army musketeers on the bamboo raft and the small boat knelt down on one knee, raised their muskets, and aimed at the Qing army on the city wall."
Bang bang bang" There was a burst of gunshots, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the Qing troops crowded at the head of the city suddenly shook like chaff, and their bodies rose up with clouds of blood mist and fell into the water.The Qing army in the city suddenly rioted, and they squatted behind the wall battlements one after another, avoiding the shooting of the Ming army.At this time, the archers of the Ming army on the bamboo raft bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows pointed obliquely at the head of the city, and they all released the bowstrings.With the sound of strings, the arrows rose into the air, drawing arcs and falling towards the city like flying locusts.In the face of the hanging shots of the Ming soldiers, the Qing soldiers had no choice but to let the arrows fall from the top of their heads and harvest their lives.For a time, the Qing soldiers were hit by arrows continuously, and people were constantly shot down by bows and arrows, and the arrows were nailed to the city wall, and the tail flanks swayed, showing his strength.The Qing army at the head of the city was completely beaten passively, and the crowded crowd had no place to hide from the bows and arrows and birds, and they suffered extremely heavy casualties, causing the Qing army at the head of the city to panic, and many people even took the initiative to jump into the water, and at this time, the bamboo raft and the boat had rushed under the city wall, Fang Guoan suddenly roared loudly, "Brothers, kill me."
The Glorious One of the Living Horses, the bounty is ten thousand!
”In all directions of Hangzhou City, the Ming army set up bamboo rafts and boats, pounced on the city, the Qing army suffered heavy losses in weapons and equipment, and was suppressed by the Ming army's firearms and bows and arrows, and the Ming army on the boat began to jump on the city, and the Qing army was driven into the water one after another.Zhang Cunren was so shocked that his heart and gall were broken, and he shouted: "The thief army has gone to the city, block it for me!"
”As soon as the words fell, I saw a general of the Ming army, jumping on the top of the city, and with a wave of a big gun, he drove more than a dozen Qing troops into the water.The morale of the Qing army on the city wall was low, but the morale of the Ming army who jumped on the city wall was like a rainbow, killing the Qing army to retreat, and people were constantly squeezed into the water.At this time, Fang Guoan saw Zhang Cunren in the distance, and suddenly roared, and rushed directly with red eyes.
