Although the walls of Yangzhou City were bombarded and collapsed by Ming's heavy artillery, Fei Yanggu was unwilling to accept the fact that Yangzhou City had fallen, and still ordered the Qing army to resist to the end.

"kill!"

"Destroy the enemy! Destroy the enemy!"

"..."

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the Ming army's offensive was like a tide.

A section of the Ming army swarmed into the city of Yangzhou along the gap that was blasted out on the city wall of Yangzhou.

In an instant, they collided with the blocking troops of the Qing army!
boom!Boom!

collapse!Bumble!

The sound of musket fire and the chatter of bowstrings complement each other.

Arrows were lost one by one, lead bullets flew in the air, pierced the air, leaving ripples.

The hot air balloon was already floating high in the sky, like the eyes of the Ming army hanging in the sky, investigating the mobilization of the Qing army in Yangzhou city in detail, and then reported the information.

Make sure that your generals have enough intelligence support to make the most correct decisions!
With hot air balloons, the Ming army is now facing the Qing army, which is almost the same as playing a game with a full map.

The mobilization of the Qing army's troops is on Daming's side, basically there is no secret at all!
A department of the Ming army received the order and was mobilized to focus on the weak points of the Qing army in order to seek breakthroughs.

Then, breakthroughs were made one after another very smoothly, tearing the direction of the Qing army to pieces.

"Attack! Attack!"

Ding Shi commanded the troops to rush forward.

The elite musketeers in the army fired for cover, and string grenades were thrown out one after another, and the light field support artillery carried by the army roared from time to time.

In just an instant, the Qing army in front of them was thrown off their feet by the shells!

After the formation of the Qing army was completely destroyed by the three axes of the Ming army, it was the turn of the heavy armored soldiers of the Ming army to appear.

The Qing army whose formation was destroyed, faced the heavily armed Ming army, and there was only one end, and that was to be massacred one-sidedly.

At this moment, just at that moment!
Back then, the Manchu Qing relied on their Manchu heavy steps to unilaterally massacre the guard soldiers who brutally abused the Ming Dynasty, and the scene was nothing more than this.

Ding Shi took out his saber from the corpse of a Qing army, and wiped the blood on the knife from the corpse, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Battalion Commander, five of our brothers died and seven were injured!"

Ding Shi's adjutant came up to report with a sad face.

When Ding Shi heard this, a trace of obvious sadness flashed across his cold face, but the sadness didn't last long.

He just nodded and said.

"understood!"

In this battle in Yangzhou, although the Ming army had the upper hand, it was still a tough battle plus street fighting, and it was impossible to avoid casualties.

No matter how vulnerable the Qing army was, just sniping in street battles could still cause a lot of casualties to the Ming army.

At this moment, an orderly trot came to Ding Shi, and opened his mouth to order.

"Commander Ding, the General Staff ordered your troops to deploy troops to reinforce the Bell and Drum Tower!"

"Participate in the Battle of the Bell and Drum Tower!"

After Ding Shi heard the words, he beat his chest suddenly with his right hand and performed a military salute.

"Yes, I will understand in the end!"

After finishing speaking, he took his subordinates to the Bell and Drum Tower. …

Along the way, many Qing soldiers tried to hide in street corners or sneak attack them in buildings.

But without exception, all of them were easily solved by the Ming army!
In order to be able to deal with the street fighting that is very likely to occur in the war, the recruit camp of the Ming army has conducted special training related to street fighting.

Facing the enemies hiding in the shadows, although the Ming army still could not avoid casualties, their advancing speed was not slow at all.

Facing the offensive of the Ming army, those Qing troops were basically powerless to resist!
Boom!Boom!
There was a faint roar of artillery in my ears, some of which were field support artillery carried by the Ming army, but more of them were heavy artillery positions outside the city.

Visible to the naked eye, heavy artillery shells jumped over the tall city walls and landed in Yangzhou City, where the Qing army was still stubbornly resisting.

For example, the Bell and Drum Tower, such as the Governor's Mansion!
A round of shells mercilessly hit the top of the Qing army's head, and the solid shells tumbling and spinning, trying to destroy the building.

The flower bomb exploded rumblingly, and the flames mixed with gunpowder smoke spread around.

Together with the shock wave, the fragments reaped life unscrupulously.

……

The Bell and Drum Tower was built after Fei Yanggu took office in Yangzhou.

The building material is the best Sanhe clay!
The main body of the building is very tall, with crenellations on the parapet wall and dense shooting holes.

There are lookout holes everywhere, and there are semi-bunker-style firepower points everywhere inside and outside the building.

Ditches and many traps were dug around the building.

Such a building is not so much a Bell and Drum Tower, but a war fortress built in imitation of the Ming fortress.

It is only because there are bells and drums on it to tell the time that it is called the Bell and Drum Tower!

Under the command of Fei Yanggu, a large number of Qing troops swarmed into the Bell and Drum Tower, preparing to rely on the fortress of the Bell and Drum Tower to resolutely resist the Ming army entering Yangzhou City.

The reason why the Qing army dared to resist the Ming army in this way is that the real courage did not come from this fortress of the Bell Tower and Drum Tower.

It was because after the Ming army entered the city, the heavy artillery could not be transported into the city for a while!

And the bombardment across the city wall is not very powerful.

In this way, the Qing army had the courage to resist!
Otherwise, if the heavy artillery of the Ming army could enter the city, the Bell and Drum Tower Fortress in front of us would actually be vulnerable.

And the reason why the Ming army had to go to the Bell and Drum Tower at this time instead of attacking the Governor's Mansion.

That was entirely because Fei Yanggu, the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty, was not in the Governor's Mansion, but in the Bell and Drum Tower.

Ding Shi looked at the Bell and Drum Tower not far away, his face gradually became heavy.

Such a fortress is very difficult to fight without strong enough fire support.

Looking at the densely packed shooting holes, crenels, trenches on the ground, bunkers and other fortifications, Ding Shi felt a little shivering down his back.

If Daming wanted to gnaw down the fortress in front of him, without enough heavy artillery support, it would really cost him his life.

After receiving the order, the elites of the Ming army continued to arrive near the Bell and Drum Tower.

Cai Ming, who was in charge of commanding the Battle of the Bell and Drum Tower, looked at the tall and majestic building in front of him, and couldn't help asking.

"This Bell and Drum Tower is probably not easy to beat!"

"When will the artillery unit be able to bring heavy artillery into the city?"

The expression on Cai Ming's face is very obvious.

Without the assistance of heavy artillery, he would not have launched a strong attack on the Bell and Drum Tower.

Because he knew that in that case, he would have to pay for it with his life!
And the soldiers under his command are all the best of the best, so it would be a pity to fold them here.
