Luo Da Niu is a man born with mud legs, he doesn't know how to think about why, he just knows that Ping Yuhou has led everyone to fight a piece of the sky, so he will implement whatever Ping Yuhou says. Zhu Dashan said to hold on, even if he is beaten out, he must hold it, instead of asking Zhu Dashan for help, in that case, I Luo Daniu did not hold it.

Seeing that the Ming army outside the city almost attacked the city by suicide, Deng Ximing was stunned, he didn't understand why these people were so desperate. Looking at these Ming troops who went forward one after another, Deng Ximing's eyes showed fear, what city could not be broken by such a person, and what enemy could not be defeated.

Li Guoying looked at the madness of the Ming army and muttered: "Such a crazy army, if it can't be eliminated, my Qing Dynasty will never have peace." Yes, they must be wiped out here. Li Guoying said this, raised his head sharply, and said to Deng Ximing beside him: "You go and gather the generals of the other city gates, let them leave only a small number of troops to guard the gate, and the other troops will immediately gather to support here, and prepare to fight to the death with the Ming army." ”

Deng Ximing was shocked: "Your Excellency Governor, now you want a decisive battle?" Didn't they consume their morale first with the city walls? Li Guoying said angrily: "Look outside the city, can the current situation reduce the morale of the anti-Ming army?" Zhu Dashan, the thief, wanted to forcibly break through the city once. Just go. Deng Ximing hurriedly retreated.

Li Guoying said to himself: "If you want to break the city once, I want to see if you have the ability." Then he said to the herald: "Go to the big camp and give the order, let Hui Yingzhao and Wang Tingxian gather the army, leave 3,000 people to hold the big camp, and the others wait for the signal to attack." Li Guoying also said a little crazy: "Then I'll see what big waves your little boy surnamed Zhu can make." ”

At this time, not only Li Guoying and others were enlightened, but they didn't understand why Zhu Dashan would attack the city so frantically. Even Hao Yongzhong and Yuan Zongdi, who are now by Zhu Dashan's side, don't understand, Yuan Zongdi said: "Pingyuhou, the first siege is generally to use 2,000 people to test it, so the first siege will use such troops, and the fight is so fierce that it will not be good for the siege later." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Don't worry, I know the boy." Hao Yongzhong was also a little dissatisfied: "You have a number, what is the number?" Look for yourself what our soldiers have become, 7,000 people have thrown themselves into the siege of the city, and now they have been stalemate on the city wall, you want to let these 7,000 soldiers all die on the city wall. ”

At this time, Cheng Deyi was also a little uncertain and said: "Master Hou, why don't you withdraw first, the brothers are tired." I know that Hou Ye wants to avenge the people in the south, but if this continues, these 7,000 brothers who are besieging the city will really not be able to come back. And I don't think the big bull brothers will last long. "Cheng Deyi's Pingyu guard returned to defend Baoning, so Cheng Deyi could only be by Zhu Dashan's side alone, firstly, for the aftermath of his cousin Cheng Dequn, and secondly, Zhu Dashan also intended to let them experience more wars, so that they could stand alone in the future.

Zhu Dashan said: "I know that the brothers are fighting hard now, but we only have this one chance, and we still have reinforcements." Hearing Zhu Dashan's words, everyone present was taken aback, and Yuan Zongdi hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" Do we still have reinforcements? Who is it, did you let the Duke of Anhui take the captives from Chongqing to attack? Hao Yongzhong said: "Impossible, Feihu wants to reorganize Jing Guogong's army, and it is too late to rush to Chongqing." Even if he goes, the troops of his two families may not be able to take Chongqing, where can they come here to support. ”

Zhu Dashan saw that everyone didn't believe that there were reinforcements, but it was hard to say anything, so he just looked at the city wall and smiled. Cheng Deyi asked, "Master Hou, do we really have reinforcements?" It can't be a Qing general who is going to surrender, right? Cheng Deyi knew that Lin Zhuang had formed an intelligence team, including bribing and plotting against the Qing generals. Zhu Dashan said: "In our current situation, will anyone be willing to take refuge in us?" People don't be so stupid. ”

Yuan Zongdi also said: "Yes, don't be fooled, the king of Yanping was deceived by the Qing army in Nanjing, which led to a great situation." Zhu Dashan said: "Don't worry, our reinforcements are our own army." They should be almost there. ”

Yuan Zongdi and the others could hear the sound of killing in the city suddenly, and after a short period of calm, the Qing army in the city immediately retreated to the city in an uproar, and could no longer form any blocking effect on the Ming army attacking the city. The Ming army on the city wall suddenly cheered loudly, shouting: "Long live the Ming Dynasty" continued to pour into the city, and Yuan Zongdi and others were overjoyed when they saw this. Zhu Dashan also immediately said to the herald: "Send a signal and let the demolition team blow up the city gate." ”

Yuan Zongdi and the others were happy, but now they were stunned when they heard Zhu Dashan say what he said about blowing up the city gate. Yuan Zongdi said: "Pingyuhou, now that our army has entered the city, we can capture the city without bombing." Before Zhu Dashan could answer, he heard a loud bang at the city gate, and then a thick smoke came out of the city gate hole. As the smoke cleared, the original city gate was almost gone.

Zhu Dashan shouted: "Cheng Deyi, you and Nan Anhou rushed into the city with Dingyuwei, and you must catch Li Guoying." Cheng Deyi and Hao Yongzhong also reacted, and immediately rushed to the city with people howling. At this time, Yuan Zongdi, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Ping Yuhou, such an opportunity should defeat Li Guoying in one go, why only shoot one guard, the whole army should attack." ”

Zhu Dashan said to Yuan Zongdi: "No, there are more than 10,000 Qing troops outside the city, Jingguo Gong, go with me to block the Qing army in the Qing army camp." After speaking, he drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army attacks the Qing army." Then he took the lead in rushing to the Qing army on the right.

Luo Daniu looked at the soldiers of the Restoration Army who were constantly falling in front of him, and now he was a little anxious. If this continues, it is estimated that in less than half an hour, Luo Daniu's thousands of households will all be killed, and now there are many Qing troops on both sides who have begun to rush through Luo Daniu's position. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Restoration Army on the battlefield were reorganized from the Kuidong Army, and they were able to fight until now all because of the pressure of the supervision team organized by Luo Da Niu, and Luo Da Niu has been standing on the front line, otherwise the Qing Army's 2,000 reinforcements would have collapsed when they came.

Looking at the defense line that was constantly being forced to retreat, Luo Daniu roared loudly while fighting hard: "Resist, brothers, Lord Hou is about to break through the county seat, and he will come to support us soon." "But Luo Daniu has been here for nearly an hour with a thousand households and 2,000 people, and the soldiers are very tired, and now the Qing army is strong. The retreat was almost irreversible, Luo Da Niu looked at the soldiers who kept retreating, and roared sadly in his heart: "Master Hou, Luo Da Niu can't hold it, I don't have the face to see you." As he spoke, he was about to raise his knife to commit suicide, but the soldiers next to him grabbed Luo Daniu and said: "Lord Qianhu, you can't blame your lord, there are too many Qing troops, or let's retreat first." Hou Ye won't blame the general. ”

Luo Da Niu was willing to retreat, and was pulling with his own soldiers, when he heard a shout of killing on the position on the other side of the city wall, and then there was a cheer that shook the sky, and countless Fuming troops shouted: "Long live the Ming Dynasty", and the soldiers besieging the city also shouted slogans, and the tide poured onto the city wall. With a loud bang at the city gate, the Chinese army of the Restoration Army also began to move, half of them rushed to the city gate that had just made a loud noise, and one of them launched a charge to the right side.

The Restoration Army, which was still retreating, saw that the Chinese army began to support this side, and they didn't know what was happening on the city wall, and the Restoration Army attacking the city attacked the city at once. But now, in general, there is good news for the Restoration Army. Luo Da Niu also became excited and shouted: "Brothers, the army has entered the city, the Hou Ye sent troops to support us, the Qing army was defeated, and these Qing army dogs were killed." After speaking, he rushed directly to the Qing army.

Because of the changes on the city wall, the stunned Restoration Army and the Qing Army reacted instantly, and the Restoration Army turned around to attack the Qing Army. The Qing army looked at the Fuming army that suddenly counterattacked, and the large army that rushed from behind. Many Qing troops began to retreat, and the Qing army that gradually retreated became a rout. Countless Qing troops rushed to flee to the camp, and none of them were willing to stop to block the attack of the Restoration Army.

Zhu Dashan arrived at Luo Daniu's position, looking at the stumps and broken arms all over the ground, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and he just looked at the positions after the war were so shocking, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he was still too anxious. Now seeing that the Qing army has retreated, it is good to let Jing Yuwei drive the Qing army back to the camp, after all, there are still more than 10,000 troops in the Qing army's camp, and with the 4,000 troops in Zhu Dashan's hands now, it is impossible to capture the camp.

Just when Zhu Dashan was about to get up and return to the city, the Qing army camp suddenly burst into flames, and the camp was suddenly killed, and the camp was in chaos. Zhu Dashan saw that the Qing army was in chaos, where could he miss this opportunity, and immediately ordered the army to capture the Qing army's camp, shouting "surrender and don't kill". The Qing troops who had been defeated from Luo Daniu's position, seeing that the Ming army was not chasing, thought that they would be safe by escaping back to the camp. Suddenly, the Qing troops in the camp actually killed each other, and the Qing troops who were entering the barracks suddenly didn't know whether to enter or not.

The Qing army, which was blocking the door, saw that the Ming army behind them was all chasing after them, some wanted to escape from the camp, and some wanted to enter the camp to avoid the Ming army. Zhu Dashan rushed to the gate of the barracks with Jing Yuwei and shouted "surrender and don't kill". As soon as Zhu Dashan saw that the gate was blocked, he hurriedly asked someone to open a gap next to it, and the Qing army that surrendered inside also took the initiative to help. After a while, a gap was opened, and Zhu Dashan left a thousand people to guard the prisoners. rushed into the Qing army camp with only 3,000 people, and when Zhu Dashan led people to rush in to take a look, he was dumbfounded, only to see that the Qing army inside was killing each other, and he didn't know who was who.

Seeing this, Zhu Dashan directly ordered to shout: "Surrender and don't kill", as long as you don't surrender, all will be killed. The Qing army in the barracks was dazed by the killing of their own people, and when they didn't know what to do, they saw the Ming army kill in. Now the Ming army shouted "surrender and don't kill", so they threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees. Only the Qing army guards Hui Yingzhao and Wang Tingxian saw that the situation was not good, and took their own soldiers to kill them from the side, and fled with only more than 50 people.

Just as Zhu Dashan was clearing out the rebellious Qing soldiers, two soldiers of the Restoration Army escorted a Qing general over, and when Zhu Dashan looked at it again, this was not who Jiang Chao was. Only then did Zhu Dashan understand why the camp of the Qing army suddenly became chaotic.

It turned out that after the Zhenwei Song Gaoju occupied Hezhou with the power of ghosts and gods, he incorporated 8,000 people of Cao Chunzhong and Hao Chengyi. Immediately, Song Gaoju asked Ma Yuanjie and Jiang Chao, pretending to be Chen Xixian, the governor of Xuzhou, and Cao Chunzhong, the general soldier of Luzhou, with 6,000 people to support Li Guoying in Dingyuan. Who knew that when he first arrived in Dingyuan, Li Guoying actually didn't let the two of them enter the city with the army. Only Ma Yuanjie, who pretended to be Chen Xixian, was allowed to enter the city, and Jiang Chao, who was pretending to be Cao Chunzhong, was directly arranged to the barracks. Jiang Chaozheng was worried that he would not be able to cooperate with Zhu Dashan and defeat Li Guoying to capture the city, and he was worried that he would be exposed.

At this time, Li Guoying sent people to gather the army, although Jiang Chao was in a hurry, he had no choice but to bring people to gather, at this time, the city wall field made a change, and the Qing army that went out to support was also driven back by the Fuming army. As soon as Jiang Chao saw that he could not miss the opportunity, he ordered the soldiers to set fire everywhere, and then attacked everywhere in the barracks. Because Jiang Chao's soldiers were wearing the uniforms of the Qing army, the Qing army couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, and suddenly the entire military camp was in chaos. Zhu Dashan also immediately led people to attack the Qing army camp, and Jiang Chao immediately asked his men to surrender when he saw it, so as not to be killed by his own people.

When the other Qing soldiers saw that Jiang Chao, a man wearing the general's armor, had surrendered, they immediately stopped resisting and surrendered one after another. When the soldiers of the Restoration Army came to see the detention, Jiang Chao immediately identified himself. But the people who came here didn't happen to know Jiang Chao, and when they saw that he was wearing the general's armor, they took him to Zhu Dashan.

As soon as Zhu Dashan saw Jiang Chao, he immediately said: "Quickly untie it, he is the thousand households of the Zhenyu Guard, and you don't even know your own general." The two soldiers who were holding Jiang Chao were so frightened that they immediately untied Jiang Chao. also apologized vigorously, Jiang Chao didn't care. Zhu Dashan saw that it was Jiang Chao, so he asked Jiang Chao to lead someone to recognize his own person. In this way, Zhu Dashan now has 7,000 people in his hands.

Zhu Dashan was not worried about the battle situation in the city, and saw that Jiang Chao recognized all the 3,000 people he brought, so he left 4,000 people to guard the prisoners, and asked Jiang Chao to take 3,000 people to the city with him. This place is only a mile away from the county seat, Zhu Dashan and Jiang Chao hurried to the city gate, and saw that the Qing soldiers at the city gate had already fled. Zhu Dashan and Jiang Chao were about to enter the city, when they saw a group of people running in a panic on the opposite side.
