There was no large-scale cavalry, so that Jinzhou City fell into passivity under the siege of Qing soldiers.

The roar of artillery rang out for almost a whole day.

The defenders were somewhat discouraged to find that their Hongyi cannon was not as good as Jiannu's cheering cannon.

There are 20 cannons in Jinzhou City, of which 11 are salvaged from the sea area of Guangdong and sent to Jinzhou, and 9 are made by Portuguese craftsmen.

These 20 artillery pieces have been stationed in Liaodong for many years and have repeatedly defeated Nurhachi's army. But now, they're dying.

On the contrary, the artillery of the Qing army was constantly improving.

In the third year of Chu Yanguang, the Qing army made a detour to Da'ankou, knocked into the fortress, and captured a group of Portuguese gunsmiths through Suizhou; In the fifth year of Yanguang, Huang Taiji successfully imitated the general's cannon and set up the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery battalion; In the sixth year of Yanguang, Sun Zhongde, the old general of Chu Dongjiang Town, launched a rebellion in Dengzhou and defected to the Qing court by gunboat, and the Portuguese craftsmen were wiped out in the rebellion; In the twelfth year of Yanguang, the Qing army had 60 artillery pieces to cheer the general......

Under the elimination of each other's strengths, the gap in combat power between the two sides is directly reflected in the battle of Jinzhou City today.

Alida is determined to take Jinzhou this time.

On this day, the siege continued until Haishi, leaving countless bones and rubble under the city of Jinzhou.

The Chu army repaired the mottled and broken city walls overnight and repaired the wounded......

Qin Shouren was busy until he was ugly, but he didn't rest, but went back to the house to bathe and change clothes.

But finding that the smell of blood on his body couldn't be washed clean, Qin Shouren sighed slightly, put a sachet on himself, and then walked to the backyard with restrained steps......

~~

The courtyard where the ancestors of the Cai family lived was still elegant and quiet, as if it had not been affected by the war at all.

"See him again?" Cai Nianzhen frowned and said, "Grandfather, granddaughter doesn't want to see him." ”

"It's for your father." Cai Tongyu said with a straight face.

Cai Nianzhen gently slapped it on the table, and said impatiently: "It's annoying to him." ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Cai Tongyu said to himself: "He will definitely come again tonight." Oh, the war is so anxious, and there is still such leisure...... It's better to be young. ”

"What's good."

Cai Tongyu ignored her, and said to himself again: "Let such an undecided child be the commander, Qin Chengye is helping the seedlings, if Dong Jihe is here, it would be better, but unfortunately Qin Chengye cut off his arm." If you can't bear the burden, you have to let a child carry it, and he will be ruined......"

As he spoke, he heard a slight noise outside the courtyard, and he said again: "Go, you can coax him." ”

Wait for Cai Nianzhen to leave. Cai Tongyu himself also stood up and walked to the study at the back with a candle flame.

In the study, there was Qin Xuangong, whose armor was stained with blood.

"Xuan Gong, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Why did my uncle call me over so late?" Qin Xuangong said: "I still have to be on duty in the city tower." ”

"The old man is also worried about the war in Jinzhou City." Cai Tongyu stroked his beard and said: "Do you need the old man to send a letter and let the dog lead the troops to help?" ”

"What did my uncle ask me to do? It's not up to me to rule now......"

~~

in the yard.

Qin Shouren cautiously asked, "Is your grandfather sleeping?" ”

"Sleep."

"Don't worry, even if I die, I must defend Jinzhou and keep you safe."

"Oh."

Cai Nianzhen took a deep breath and pursed his lips.

Qin Shouren thought that such a sentence would move her, but she didn't expect her to just say "oh" like this, and he was a little at a loss.

"It's true."

"Why don't you call me aunt?"

"I ...... I'm five years older than you, and I'm not related by blood...... I don't want to call you aunt. ”

"Whatever you want."

"Are you angry?" Qin Shouren became more and more at a loss.

"Nope. Don't pull me, men and women don't kiss. ”

"I know, I know. One day, I will marry you in ......"

Before the words were finished, Cai Nianzhen interrupted: "Marry me?" How do you marry me? I don't want to think about how different we are. ”

"I ......" Qin Shouren gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "I don't care!" We really like it. Why did my great-grandfather's marriage to your aunt ruin our marriage? ”

Cai Nianzhen glanced at him, feeling more and more clumsy and boring.

She thought of Wang Xiao's handsome appearance in her heart, there are bandit gentlemen, such as gold and tin, and gui and bi......

That encounter, after all, is it lovely, unintentional?

Oh, ask for it, you can't ask for it......

Thinking about this, Cai Nianzhen suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour, he lowered his head, and whispered: "Straight lovesickness is useless, and it is a mad ...... if you are melancholy."

Qin Shouren didn't know what he meant, and scratched his head a little in disdain.

After a while, Cai Nianzhen took out a purse from his sleeve and threw it in Qin Shouwangren's arms.

"Sent to me?"

"Hmm."

"You embroidered it?" Qin Shouren was overjoyed and said: "It's so well embroidered, it's really ......."

Suddenly, a loud voice with an extremely bad scenery shouted: "Qin Shouren! What's the matter with you?! ”

Qin Shouren was shocked, turned his head to look, and saw Qin Xuangong standing in front of the steps, raising his one-arm and pointing angrily to this side.

"Seventh uncle? I ......"

"You fucking let the donkey kick in the head, didn't you? The enemy is present, and you are coming...... Damn, I don't hesitate to say you, follow me to see my uncle. ”

"Uncle Seven, listen to me, we are really ......"

"Listen to your fart."

Cai Nianzhen hurriedly stepped forward to stop Qin Xuangong and said, "Seventh brother, you let us go, Shouren ......"

"He's not sensible, and you're not sensible if you've read books? Get out of the way, don't look back and hurt you. ”

Qin Xuangong flicked it lightly, but he didn't expect Cai Nianzhen to fall to the ground, screaming in pain, and tears were already rippling in his eyes.

"What do you do!" Qin Shouren was furious.

Qin Xuangong was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his hand towards Qin Shouren.

"What to do? Take you to see Uncle. ”

There was a "bang" sound.

"You're going to do it, huh?!"

Both of them are very skilled, and they fight with gusts of fists. Qin Shouren still collected his strength at the beginning, but he was punched by Qin Xuangong on the front door.

"Big brother fought to the death in the Great Ling River and did not retreat, what a hero, he actually gave birth to a ...... like you"

"Don't mention my dad!"

"Know you're not a good guy? Breed ......"

"Qin Xuangong! Be silent! ”

Qin Shouren was furious, and a punch hit Qin Xuangong's chest.

Qin Xuangong's inner armor has not yet been solved, and this punch is actually Qin Shouren's own broken skin, and his hands are bloody.

Only at this time did Qin Shouren calm down.

"Uncle Seven, just let us go......"

Qin Xuangong just stood there in a daze, and then, blood flowed down from his mouth, and then his whole body slowly fell.

With a bang, the burly man fell to the ground, and there was no more sound.

"Seven...... Uncle Seven......"

Qin Shouren glanced at his flesh-and-blood fist, and with a "bang" in his head, only a blank space remained......

On the corridor, Cai Tongyu looked at this scene, put away the sneer at the corner of his mouth, slowly opened his palm, and let the candlestick fall to the ground.

"Bang Dang~"

"Shou...... Shouren, you...... What did you do? ”

"Woo...... Grandfather, you can help Shouren......"

~~

The next day, the siege of Jiannu was still fierce.

Qin Shouren stood on the city wall, looking at the scene of cannon fire roaring and tens of thousands of people fighting each other, and suddenly felt that all this was so far away.

"On the eastern wall, there are Jiannu climbing up! Hurry up ......"

Someone seemed to be hissing and shouting something.

Qin Shouren only had chaos in his mind.

Cai Nianzhen's delicate face, Qin Xuangong's corpse, the quiet courtyard, and the battlefield of blood and fire...... In the old camps, there was always a scene of commotion and chaos.

"Little Morihito......"

There is no longer Qin Xuangong's rough and big voice.

Even the corpses have been quietly transported through the tower.

"Uncle Seven has been assassinated, and there are slaves in the city!"

"That's right, it's Jiannu who killed the seventh uncle!"

Qin Shouren muttered sentence after sentence in his heart. He felt that someone was watching him......

Suddenly, someone shoved him hard.

"Qin Shouren! What's the matter with you?! Quickly transfer people to guard the East City......"

~~

Every moment on the battlefield seemed to have become torture.

Qin Shouren just wanted to end this quickly.

He wanted to meet Cai Nianzhen......

At noon, Jiannu's offensive rested. Qin Shouren and his soldiers cowered behind the city wall, holding dry food and chewing one bite at a time.

Suddenly, a member of the Cai family came over and whispered, "General Qin, please come with the little one......"

As the family Ding walked all the way to a small house near the east wall, Qin Shouren looked at it and trembled in surprise.

I saw Cai Nianzhen carrying a food box and putting a plate of dishes on the table.

"Remembering the True ......"

Cai Nianzhen stroked the broken hair in his ears, lowered his head and said, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight." ”

The house was dilapidated, and Qin Shouren sat on the broken bench eating dishes, only to feel that this was the best place in the world.

His restless heart also seemed to calm down.

- At least, I still have a true ......

After a while, Cai Nianzhen turned his head to look out the window, and suddenly frowned.

Qin Shouren followed his gaze and saw He Boyong leading people to demolish the house and carry wood, with a reluctant expression.

"That's Lord He, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and the son of He Cifu. Mr. Xia asked him to help with something. ”

Cai Nianzhen's willow eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he suddenly stomped his feet and ran out.

Qin Shouren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put down the bowl to keep up......
