The Qing army chased the Restoration Army to the city, and Ma Rong and others kept retreating. Finally, they retreated to the only remaining granary, where all the Restoration troops were surrounded. Ma Rong saw that there were more than 50 of the 3,000 soldiers of the Restoration Army. And all of them were wounded, and many of them barely stood with the support of their weapons, or by leaning on the granary.

After the Qing army surrounded all the Restoration Army, they were not in a hurry to attack. At this time, Bu Shilong walked out from behind the Qing army and looked at the Ming Restoration Army in front of him. He now knew that there were only 3,000 Restoration troops in the entire city of Hankou. This is the confession of some people who were injured and captured by the Qing army.

Bu Shilong couldn't help but admire some people, plus tonight's casualties, these 3,000 people killed 30,000 of his own people and 15,000 troops. Bu Shilong said: "You are a man, but now that it has reached this point, why not surrender?" The Ming Dynasty has died, this is providence. The Ming Dynasty has enjoyed more than 200 years of national fortune, which is his own national fortune. Why do you bother? As long as you surrender, I guarantee you a lifetime of glory and wealth. ”

Ma Rong laughed loudly and said: "The glory of being a slave, Lao Tzu is not unusual. Lao Tzu is a human being, how can anyone not do it, but to be a dog. The Restoration Army next to him all laughed and said, "The general said well, if you don't do good things, can you be a dog?" ”

Bu Shilong was not angry, and said to Ma Rong: "I don't know your name yet, so I can't let you die in vain." Your soldiers are also good, and I know I can't persuade you, but I can't say the name too much. ”

Ma Rong said: "Lao Tzu's name is Han people, and he is a person from the Ming Dynasty. The other Restoration Army also said: "Yes, we are all Han people, and we are people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Seeing this, Bu Shilong knew that he could not persuade these Ming troops to surrender, so he didn't say anything more at the moment and retreated to the Qing army. Ma Rong knew that the Qing army was about to launch a final attack, and said loudly to the remaining Restoration Army: "Brothers, do you regret it? Are you afraid? ”

The Restoration Army who was standing all said loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't regret it." But there was a Restoration Army, who was only twenty years old, and at the end he said, "I regret it." Suddenly, all the Restoration Army looked at this soldier fiercely, and the soldier was not discouraged, and said: "I regret not killing a few more Qing soldiers, I only killed five Qing soldiers." ”

Ma Rong suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, you killed five Qing soldiers, according to your military merits, you are the general banner, and you have been promoted." The soldier immediately said happily: "General Xie, I have been promoted." After speaking, he looked at the Qing soldiers who gradually surrounded him, and unconsciously sang the military discipline song of the Restoration Army.

When he sang it, the other soldiers of the Restoration Army also sang along. It's just that this is the singing, which has lost the passion of the past, but has a touch of tragedy. Ma Rong also sang and stood up with the crowd, and seemed to have returned to the training ground.

Everyone sang military discipline songs and cheered each other on, and then the Restoration Army, which was more than 50 people, resolutely launched a charge against the Qing army. When the last trace of singing was gone, all the soldiers of the Restoration Army also fell.

Although the Qing army captured Hankou, no one could be happy, not only did Hankou already be an empty city. The final performance of the Restoration Army also gave them a huge shock. It turned out that there were really people who died for the Han people, and in the face of countless Qing troops, they did not hesitate at all, and rushed into the Qing army's large array without hesitation.

All the Qing troops were in a heavy mood, and even Bu Shilong was shaken. Is it really right to pursue the glory and wealth you are pursuing? Looking at the Restoration Army, which had all lost their lives, Bu Shilong said: "Burn them all, lest someone want to use them to make a fuss when the time comes." ”

At this time, Gou Xingwang of Hanyang City did not know that Ma Rong had been killed. Now Hanyang City is not having a good time, and the siege width of the Qing army has reached a mile wide. Gou Xingwang only left two personal soldiers around him, and the rest of the people had all been engaged in the defense of the city.

Today, after the Qing army got a new people's strong army and a large army, the whole offensive became extremely fierce. From the beginning of the war to the present, the army has been fighting fiercely for four hours. The Qing army that attacked the city has also changed four or five batches of people.

The Qing army under the city can still take turns to rest, but the Ming restoration army in the city has no time to rest. Today alone, the people in the city have suffered 3,000 casualties. This is simply more than the sum of the previous four days, and the remaining people are only more than 2,000 people.

In desperation, Gou Xingwang had no choice but to let the women in the city start to carry the materials for defending the city, and all the other men went to the city to defend. But these untrained civilians, after going to the city, also suffered heavy casualties. Only blocked a wave of attacks by the Qing army, and the 1,000 people in Shangcheng can now only walk down 300 people.

At this time, the soldiers beside Gou Xingwang said: "General, look, the Qing army is coming over there again." Gou Xingwang reluctantly stood up and looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers. Sure enough, another team of Qing soldiers came, and Gou Xingwang's heart sank. said: "It seems that Ma Rong's side is finished, and these soldiers are all coming from Hankou." ”

Gou Xingwang's pro-soldier said: "Hey, I didn't expect General Ma Rong to still not hold out to the end." Gou Xingwang said: "It's not surprising, the general will inevitably die in battle, and he can die on the battlefield, which is also the final destination of our generals." ”

At this time, the Qing army, which had just collected troops under the city, also knew the news that Hankou was broken, and suddenly countless Qing troops cheered loudly, and many people shouted: "Long live the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will win." Even Du Min came to the city triumphantly, passing through the retreating Qing army.

It's not that Du Min was kind, when the Qing army learned that the city of Hankou was broken and the morale of the Qing army was high, he withdrew his troops and stopped attacking the city. It's that the Qing army has been attacking for so long, and they are already tired. Just after the Qing army retreated, the news of Hankou being broken came, and if the news could come half an hour in advance, Du Min must capture Hanyang in one go.

But this news came too late, and the Qing army had already withdrawn from Hanyang City. Seeing that there is no chance of capturing Hanyang, he has no choice but to attack the city tomorrow. Looking at the mountains of corpses piled up under Hanyang City, Du Min's expression was as usual, without the slightest discomfort.

After Du Min arrived at the city, he said to the city: "Listen to the Ming restoration army in the city, I know that your general is called Gou Xingwang, and you can stay here for five days, which already shows your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty." But look, do you have a way out? You can't have any reinforcements, and if you resist, you're dead. ”

Gou Xingwang walked to the side of the city and said: "Death, is it terrible?" Du Min was choked suddenly, yes, in this era, death is really not something to be afraid of. Gou Xingwang said again: "Kong said to be benevolent, and Meng said to take righteousness." Although we are rough people, we still know this truth. ”

Du Min said: "I think you are Gou Xingwang, Gou command." Seeing that you are not a reckless man when you speak, why don't you know how to save time? To this day, this is all the fault of his Zhu family, why do you bother to bury him for the Zhu family? ”

Gou Xingwang said: "Whether the Zhu family is to blame for themselves, it is fate." But the Han people should not be the slaves of the Manchurians, the Manchurians were originally savages in a barbaric land, and they were able to settle down by relying on our Ming rewards and the mercy of the Han people. At the beginning, in order to get the favor of our Han people, the lowly called themselves slaves. However, after they enjoyed the favor of our Han people, they did not think of reciprocating it, and turned against their masters. It's ridiculous that you scum actually think that they are masters and are willing to degenerate to be dogs. What kind of face is there now, noisy here. ”

Du Min didn't expect Gou Xingwang to speak so sharply, and his face turned red with shame. hateful said: "Okay, you are prosperous, I am kind enough to give you a way to live, but I don't know how to lift." Since you are going to die, I will fulfill you. Then he said to the rest of the city: "Listen, as long as you surrender with Gou Xingwang's head, the general will reward him with a thousand gold, and directly protect him as a deputy general." ”

The Restoration Army in the city all looked at Du Min coldly, only some people were looking around. After looking at the situation in the city, Gou Xingwang said: "The Han people must have the backbone of the Han people, with this honor of Your Excellency, can you enter the ancestral shrine in the future?" When your descendants see your ugly appearance, how will they describe your exploits? ”

At this time, Gou Xingwang's pro-soldier said: "Of course I can say it, but it's not about merit, I'm afraid it's about shame." It is estimated that his magic card is also placed on the edge of the threshold, so that the descendants of his family will step on it thousands of times. Immediately, everyone in Hanyang City burst into crazy laughter.

Du Min under the city is angry with blood, and his face is red for a while, white for a while, as if he has opened a dyeing workshop. Du Min suddenly waved to the deputy general behind him, and the deputy general immediately understood that some people were escorted from behind the Qing army. After these people were escorted in, the city found that these people were all soldiers of the Restoration Army.

These people are all Qing soldiers, and in the previous few days of the battle, captured the soldiers of the Restoration Army. At that time, these people were wounded, and when the brigade retreated, they did not follow, and were captured by the Qing army that was chasing behind.

Now that he was escorted to Hanyang City, Du Min smiled cruelly: "Commander Gou, what you said is so tough, I want to see if your soldiers are also so tough." Then he said to the Qing army on the side: "Don't they think this hairstyle and clothing are ugly?" Shave his hair and see if there's anything special about them wearing it too. ”

Immediately, the Qing army started to shave the hair of those soldiers of the Restoration Army. Originally, Zhu Youdong had never specifically asked for a hairstyle before, but after a long time, his hair grew out. So now the soldiers of the Restoration Army have all grown their hair.

Seeing the Qing army under the city forcibly holding down these captured Restoration soldiers and shaving their hair, the Restoration Army in the city was very angry. But now they have no choice, and the Restoration Army in Hanyang City now has no ability to go out of the city and go to these captured Restoration Army. Those captured Restoration Army wept even more bitterly at this time. I finally grew my hair and looked like a Han again, but I had to be shaved by these Qing soldiers again.

The Restoration Army, whose hair had been shaved, was pulled over again and dressed in Manchu costumes on the spot. No matter how these soldiers of the Restoration Army struggled, it had no effect at all.

Seeing the humiliation of the soldiers of the Restoration Army under the city, Gou Xingwang in the city was also like a knife. Gou Xingwang roared at Du Min: "Du Min, you are also the commander of an army, how can you use such despicable means. If you do this, you are not afraid of your retribution? ”

Du Min looked at the angry Gou Xingwang and said triumphantly: "Retribution? I'm afraid of retribution, didn't you say they were all tough? Look at what they look like now, what's the difference between a woman who meets a man? Do you not die and value the hairs on your heads? I'm going to shave them all now, and I see what they can do. ”

Gou Xingwang knew that Du Min had no humanity at all now, so he directly shouted to the soldiers of the Fuming Army under the city: "Soldiers, remember, we are all Han Chinese. We can die, we can lose, but we can't give in, we won't surrender. They can now shave our heads, and when our army comes, we will cut off their heads. ”
