At this moment, the artillery on the top of the city began to make a loud noise, and the sound of "boom boom boom" was continuous.

A shot of solid iron eggs passed over the heads of the soldiers of the death camp, plowing out a straight line of gaps for the Jianlu cavalry who were charging, and beat the Jianlu soldiers and horses to pieces.

But there were too many Jianlu, and the gap created by the plow was covered by the cavalry in the blink of an eye, and continued to cover the city of Jinzhou.

At the same time, the suspension bridge of Jinzhou City was lowered amidst the sound of gunfire, and it hit the bank of the moat with a loud bang. It can be seen that the suspension bridge was released in a hurry.

The city gate behind the suspension bridge was also opened, and a group of armored pike soldiers came out of it, forming a defensive formation and lined up on both sides of the city gate.

When Cao Wenzhao saw it, he immediately ordered the whole army to enter the city.

He himself stood on the edge of the suspension bridge to stabilize the morale of the soldiers in the death camp.In case there is a possibility of escape, the soldiers of the death camp will mess up their order and strive to advance into the city, which will instead block the way into the city.

The soldiers of the death camp saw the handsome flag with the word "Cao" standing on the edge of the suspension bridge, and the military flag with the word "dead" began to cross the suspension bridge to enter the city.

Jianlu saw that the dead camp was beginning to enter the city, so he rushed faster despite the bombardment of artillery fire.

When Cao Wenzhao saw it, he hurriedly shouted loudly that the soldiers of the death camp at the back got off their horses and joined the formation.

More than 2000 soldiers of the death camp said that there were not many, and that there were few and many.The gate of the city is so big, it will take some time to get all of them into the city.

When about half of the dead camp soldiers passed the suspension bridge, Jianlu finally rushed forward.

Fortunately, there was a moat behind the death camp, and Jianlu could not charge with horsepower, otherwise, after plowing through a thin layer of Ming army, he would fall into the moat.

I saw that Jianlu slowed down and dismounted one after another, and then killed the soldiers of the death camp on foot.Once mixed with the Ming army, they will not be afraid of the artillery fire at the top of the city.

The death camp team that entered the city immediately showed some panic. Some wanted to squeeze towards the suspension bridge, and some wanted to fight with Jianlu.

Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao asked the flag bearer behind him to wave the commander-in-chief flag, and passed an order to the other three generals to lead troops to stop Jianlu, and then he himself led his personal guards to kill outside.Only in this way can the morale of the army be stabilized.

The effect was immediate, and the soldiers of the death camp immediately stopped panicking and began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

Yuan Keli kept nodding his head as he watched from the top of the city, and exclaimed, "You are truly a mighty general!"

Then he issued an order to Zu Dashou: "Send the order, cover with muskets, bows and arrows."

Yuan Keli had his own opinion on whether to accept the death camp outside the city. After observing for a while, he immediately made a decision and ordered the defenders inside the city to welcome the death camp into the city.But after all, it is necessary to make arrangements, so Cao Wenzhao had the time to wait anxiously.

For a while, another blank strip was opened in the Jianlu group, which isolated the Jianlu behind and prevented them from rushing into the death camp.

The support from the top of the city eased the pressure on the soldiers of the death battalion who killed the enemy in the rear, and also let them know that there are brother troops behind them to cover them.

Therefore, the soldiers of the death camp raised their courage and killed more fiercely, wanting to kill all the wolves that followed.

The slave chief Dorgon saw this situation from far away from the artillery range, and gritted his teeth with hatred.It was also because he was in a hurry to chase, and he didn't have a big shield with the army, so he couldn't cross the isolation zone.

At this time, Duoduo and Daishan arrived one after another, and they gathered together when they saw Dorgon's handsome flag.

They didn't say hello to each other, they all frowned as they watched the battle.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer Ming troops outside the moat, they are slowly gathering near the suspension bridge, and they are about to cross the suspension bridge soon.

Duoduo issued an order ruthlessly: "Carry those dead bodies, block the bullets of the Ming army at the top of the city, and stick them to me."

Dorgon had calmed down his urgent mood at this time. Hearing his younger brother's order, he also issued a military order: "The archers cover the vicinity of the suspension bridge, and the cavalry is ready to charge the suspension bridge."

However, the situation on the battlefield was too chaotic, and when their orders reached the front line.The Ming army has basically passed the suspension bridge. With the assistance of the spearmen sent from the city, although the ropes of the suspension bridge have been cut by Jianlu and cannot be pulled up, Jianlu cannot attack.

However, the cover of the last Jianlu archers caused a lot of injuries to the Ming army who had no time to enter the city. Even Cao Wenzhao, who entered the city last, was hit by a few arrows.

As soon as the Ming army entered the city, the city gate was closed, and the rolling logs and stones at the top of the city smashed at the Jianlu who rushed across the suspension bridge, causing Jianlu to retreat in embarrassment after leaving a corpse on the ground.

Successfully completed the task of rescuing the comrades outside the city, the Ming army on the top of the city looked at the Jianlu who had gone away, and cheered in unison, celebrating the victory.

However, after entering the city, the soldiers of the death camp fell to the ground one after another, unable to stand up any longer.The battle outside the city used up almost all of their physical strength, and they didn't have many days of rest to recover, so they might not be able to recover.

On the top of the city gate, Yuan Keli smiled and watched Cao Wenzhao with a few arrows in his body leading three of his men towards him.

"The last general will see Mr. Zhongcheng." Cao Wenzhao led three generals under his command to kneel down on one knee and salute Yuan Keli.

Although he is not under Yuan Keli's control, he is now the commander of one of the Beijing camps.But Yuan Keli was also considered to be life-saving to him and to the death camp, and his prostration came from the heart.

Cao Wenzhao's bravery made Yuan Keli appreciate it very much. He seemed to see Zhang Pan, his former general, who had died in battle.

He smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite before the army, get up quickly."

Then he asked with concern: "Are there any hindrances on your body?"

Just as Cao Wenzhao stood up, when he heard Yuan Keli's concerned words, he remembered that there were still a few arrows stuck in his hand, so he pulled them out, and said back to Yuan Keli, "Thank you Zhongcheng for your concern, I will wear a few layers of armor at the end. Jianlu's light arrows cannot go in."

Yuan Keli smiled, and when he was about to speak again, he only heard Cao Wenzhao order the guard who was not far behind him: "Bring him up."

As soon as he heard this, he stopped talking and looked curiously at who Cao Wenzhao was going to bring up.

During this gap, Cao Wenzhao met with Zu Dashou and He Kegang again.On the surface, they all smiled and congratulated each other without gaps.

An old man who looked like a Mongolian was dragged in front of Yuan Keli and thrown to the ground.It looked like he was dying.

Cao Wenzhao explained on the side: "He is the Darhan king Saisang of the Horqin tribe, the biggest running dog of Jianlu."

When Yuan Keli heard this, he quickly ordered the guards: "Take him down, treat him properly, and make sure he is escorted to Beijing alive."

Yuan Keli understood that the political significance of bringing this person alive to the capital is much greater than that of a dead person. He congratulated Cao Wenzhao and said: "This is a great achievement. The emperor will be very happy to know."

Cao Wenzhao still knows how to be a man, and he quickly replied: "If it weren't for Lord Zhongcheng and all Jinzhou colleagues to rescue him, then the last general would have the credit."

The people on the top of the city were very happy to hear this answer, but turned their heads to look outside the city, and found that Jianlu and the Mongolian army had not left, as if there was still a tendency to siege the city.

Yuan Keli saw it, and said indifferently: "In a hasty battle, the cavalry besieged the city. Don't worry about it. I'll just spend time with them."

When He Kegang heard this, he said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan will send reinforcements without knowing the truth."

When Yuan Keli heard this, his heart sank.He knew that not all generals in the Guanning Army were as brave as Cao Wenzhao.
