When they reached a place five miles east of the city, the warship docked.
The Ming army infantry quickly landed, formed a formation, and rushed towards the east gate of Fengyang.
"Kill!" The Shun army in the east of the city was fighting a bloody battle with Lu Jiude's troops.
They did not expect Lu Jiude to take the initiative to attack, and they did not expect that he had made a device to cross the trench.
Before the war, Lu Jiude carefully studied the trenches dug by the Shun army.
Finally, a device similar to a seesaw was made.
On top is a wide and long wooden board with a supporting wood in the middle similar to a stool leg.
After placing this device in the trench, the two ends of the device will be placed on both sides of the trench, and the supporting wood in the middle will touch the bottom of the trench.
With this supporting wood in the middle, the board made of long wood will not break when people and horses step on it.
The army was able to pass through the trench smoothly.
Gu Kecheng and Lu Jiude were having a fierce fighting, and seemed to have the upper hand.
First, he had more troops than Lu Jiude, and second, he had Liu Tichun's 5,000 troops to support him.
After several consecutive charges, Gu Kecheng discovered that Lu Jiude's troops were showing signs of defeat.
"Kill!" He was about to command the entire army to attack, but he heard shouts of killing from behind.
Looking closely, he saw the Ming army's flag flying in the air not far behind him.
The blue sky, red sun and white moon on the flag complement each other, injecting invisible power into the charging Ming army.
Seeing this, Lu Jiude waved his flag and said, "Kill the bandits and serve the country, today!"
“Kill!”
"kill!"
Under attack from both sides, Gu Kecheng's troops were quickly defeated.
Gu Kecheng made up his mind, led the cavalry away from the battlefield, and rushed towards Li Zicheng in the north of the city.
The battle in the north of the city was more complicated than Gu Kecheng had imagined.
Because he found that the Ming army did not cross the river, but instead set its target on Liu Zongmin in the north.
"Hoo, hoo, Your Majesty!" Gu Kecheng ran to Li Zicheng, panting, "I was attacked from both sides by the Ming army and was defeated."
Li Zicheng was shocked: "Where did so many Ming troops come from?"
"Look at the flags. They are Liu Kongzhao, his servant Shan, Zhu Guobi and others."
"Your servant Shan... Zhu Guobi..." Li Zicheng was shocked and puzzled, "Didn't Zongmin say that he would annihilate them? Why is he here again?"
"I...I don't know either. There is Lu Jiude in front of me, and servants Congshan and Zhu Guobi behind me. In order to preserve my strength, I can only lead the cavalry to retreat first. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Li Zicheng was not in the mood to care about this matter. He looked towards the north bank of the Huai River with a worried look on his face.
The shouting and screaming there was deafening.
If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Zongmin was most likely ambushed by the Ming army.
