As the Guanning army approached, the cannons in the city began to roar, and when the Guanning army got closer, bows and arrows and firearms in the city also began to fire. If other Qing troops or civilians were driven to attack, the army under the city would probably have begun to disorganize.

But it was the Guan Ning army that attacked the pass, they were still lined up in a neat military formation, approaching the wall unhurriedly, and waited until the bows, arrows and firearms in the city were fired, and then they began to run frantically in front of the pass with their shields.

Guan Ningjun is worthy of Wu Sangui's bottom money, these soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, that is, in the process of advancing and running, they can continue to dodge the arrows set on the pass.

By the time the Guan Ning army ran under the wall, the Guan Ning army only had more than 200 casualties. Xia Guoxiang and the others, who were watching the battle later, were very happy to see this, Guan Ningjun's performance was indeed outstanding.

Guo Li Ai and Xiong Yansheng in the city turned pale, because the attack of the Restoration Army did not cause much damage to the Guan Ning Army at all. Now that the Guanning army has approached the wall, many siege ladders have been erected on the wall, so Guo Li Ai has to let the army behind him step forward to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The rolling stone savewood that was prepared on the wall of the pass, with the efforts of the defenders, kept throwing it down, and suddenly smashed into the Guanning army, and the attacking Guanning army was smashed on the head and bleeding, and many people fell down the ladder from mid-air.

Hu Guozhu, who was behind, saw that the army had begun to climb the wall to attack, and immediately ran to the sergeant beating the drum, grabbed the drumstick, and beat the drum vigorously. The surrounding soldiers all shouted loudly when they saw it, and the Qing army that attacked the Shengjing Pass in front heard the drums in the rear, and the soldiers who shouted and cheered also roared desperately.

The Qing army that tackled the key problems for a time was also full of energy, and sacrificed their lives to climb the pass. Although no one has yet been able to storm the wall, the materials on the wall are consumed amazingly.

At the cost of consuming a large amount of materials, Wu Guogui's siege army never reached the victory pass, and it seemed that for nearly an hour, the troops who climbed the city to attack had begun to exhaust.

Seeing this, Xia Guoxiang waved the order flag, and Wang Pingfan, who had already prepared on the side, set off in formation with 3,000 troops, rushed to the Shengjing Pass to take over Wu Guogui's position, and began to command the newly joined 3,000 troops to attack the Shengjing Pass.

After Wu Guogui retreated, despite being exhausted, he came to Xia Guoxiang and said, "Dog's day, it's Guo Liai's bastard." Hu Guozhu couldn't believe it: "How could it be Guo Liai, he has such courage?" When did he bring out such a capable army? ”

Wu Guogui said: "Who knows, I can't wait to climb the wall to catch him and ask him what he is trying to do like this?" Xia Guoxiang said: "Yes, didn't there be two thousand Manchurian Eight Banners and three thousand Han Army Banners to attack Guiyang before?" Why did you let Guo Li Ai run here. ”

Wu Guogui turned the handkerchief handed over by the guards, wiped it twice on his face and said: "This is the only way to catch Guo Liai and ask him, or he surrendered to the Ming army." ”

Hu Guozhu said: "I saw that he really surrendered to the Ming army, where did these soldiers come from, if it was the defenders of Shengjing Pass before, they should have fled if they were almost at this time." ”

Xia Guoxiang and the others were talking here, and the battle under the victory pass was still going on. Due to the large number of veterans of the Restoration Army on the pass, Guo Liai does not dare to run now, if Zhu Youdong knows that he abandoned the pass and fled, it is estimated that before he left Guizhou, he will be captured by the Miao people and handed over to Zhu Youdong.

At this time, the Qing army attacked the city fiercely, and many people had already climbed the wall. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Guo Liai and Xiong Yansheng both took their guards to run along the wall, commanding the defenders to drive down the Qing army that attacked the city wall.

At this time, a Qing soldier saw Guo Liai with someone to kill, and immediately raised his knife and ran towards Guo Liai. Seeing this, Guo Li Ai directly raised his knife and slashed at the Qing soldiers. Guo Li Ai held up the knife of the Qing soldiers, and the two knives collided, and sparks suddenly burst into flames. Guo Liai's personal soldier took the opportunity to stab the Qing soldier in the chest.

The Qing soldier's eyes widened angrily, and he gradually lost his strength with unwillingness, fell to the ground, and was then kicked away by Guo Liai. Guo Liai also scolded in his mouth: "I'll kill you dog mongrel." I don't know if it's the Qing soldiers who are scolding or scolding Zhu Youdong.

The Qing soldiers under the pass were also red-eyed, and they all forgot the fear of death, and went forward one after another, forgetting their lives and forgetting to climb up the city. Since these were elite soldiers, they posed a great threat to the defense of the Restoration Army, and it took a lot of effort for the Restoration Army to kill and wound these Qing soldiers.

There were more and more Qing soldiers attacking the wall, and Xiong Yansheng found Guo Li Ai and said: "Commander, let the reserve team come up, we can't stop it." ”

Guo Li Ai roared: "Why is this happening? Their 3,000 men attacked the pass, and our 3,000 men defended the city, so we couldn't hold it. Guo Li Ai seems to be a little unable to accept such a thing.

Xiong Yansheng also wanted to cry a little: "My lord, now is not the time to think about this, let's come up with the reserves under the city, otherwise we won't be able to hold it." When the time comes, it will be useless to leave the reserves. ”

Guo Li Ai took a look at the crazy Qing army outside the pass, and said helplessly: "Then the people who are preparing the team go to the wall, I don't know how many days we can defend, I hope Zhu Shouquan and them will come soon, if it is late, where should I go." ”

Guo Liai agreed to let the reserve of 1,000 people go to the city, and by the way, he sighed about his future. Then I saw more and more people climbing the wall, and yelled, "Didn't you eat?" Give me all the strength to do it, if the wall is broken, you know that the Qing army will slaughter the city, and no one will survive. ”

The defenders on the wall were overjoyed when they heard that they had let the reserve troops go to the city. Suddenly, the defense was a little lacking in stamina, and it seemed a little loose, and it was constantly retreated by the Qing army. At this time, when I heard Guo Liai say that the Qing army was going to slaughter the city, and when I saw Guo Liai himself, he had already raised his knife and killed the Qing army, and immediately mustered up morale to counterattack the Qing army.

The Qing army's offensive was blocked, and it didn't take long for the 1,000 Ming troops in reserve to come up to the wall, and immediately drove the Qing army off the wall. Since these reserve Ming Restoration troops were all new forces, once the Qing army began to retreat, they were embraced by the soldiers of the Ming Restoration Army, and soon the Qing troops on the wall were driven down a lot.

Xia Guoxiang and others, who were originally in the distance, saw that Wang Pingfan commanded the Guanning army and had already attacked Shangguan. They were all overjoyed at once, but before everyone could laugh, they saw a large number of Ming troops suddenly appearing on the pass, and the Qing troops who attacked the wall were also driven down.

Xia Guoxiang and the others all sighed, and regretted that they did not conquer the victory level in one go. Seeing this, Xia Guoxiang knew that he couldn't attack the Shengjing Pass today, so he went to Luo Keduo and said: "Lord Jun, now that the siege is close to two hours, the soldiers are also tired, or collect the troops and attack tomorrow." ”

Luo Keduo also regretted the opportunity just now, but if he continued to attack forcefully, he would not be able to capture the victory level again. Then he said: "Then collect the troops first, if you want to attack the pass in the world, you will have to work hard." ”

When Xia Guoxiang heard this, he was immediately relieved and said: "What the prince of the county said is right. Then he was about to turn around and go to Mingjin to collect his troops, when Duran stood up and said, "Slow, you could have attacked the Shengjing Pass just now, why did your army retreat instead?" ”

Xia Guoxiang knew that Du Lan was deliberately finding fault, so he said: "Just now, the Ming army came to reinforce the army, didn't you see Baylor?" Du Lan said: "I didn't see it, I only saw that I could have captured the Shengjing Pass immediately, but you were afraid of death and retreated so that you were driven down by the Ming army." ”

When Xia Guo saw that Du Lan framed Guan Ningjun, he was driven down because of cowardice, and immediately said angrily: "Our army has been attacking for two hours in a row, won't they be tired?" Didn't you see reinforcements appear at the gate, which led to the brothers who attacked the wall being driven down? ”

Duran said: "I didn't see it, you just said that you attacked for two hours in a row, but I clearly remember that you sent a total of 6,000 troops to attack the city, and you still divided it into two times. ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "The terrain here can only use 3,000 people to attack, and it is useless for me to send more people, and if there are too many people, it will lead to the obstruction of the movement between the various departments." ”

Duran said: "Yes, so you just let your army attack for one hour each, how can you say that you attacked for two hours in a row?" Also, you brought 20,000 troops, and now only 6,000 have been dispatched, and you lie that the whole army is attacking. ”

Xia Guoxiang was stunned by Du Lan's shamelessness, he didn't think that the dignified Manchurian royal family Baylor would say such things that he didn't understand military affairs, and he would force himself to suppress the whole army. When Xia Guoxiang looked at Luo Keduo again, Luo Keduo stopped saying that he wanted to withdraw his troops, as if the quarrel between Duran and Xia Guoxiang had never happened at all.

Seeing that Luo Coduo acquiesced to his behavior, Duran immediately said even more excessively: "You said that your army is tired, and they didn't go to attack the victory pass, what are you tired of?" Is your army all mud and paper? Or do you not want to contribute and want to delay the fighter? ”

In the face of Duran's aggressiveness, none of the Manchurian Eight Banner generals present came out to speak for Xia Guoxiang. The other generals of the Han Army Banner have been trained by Duran to not squeak in the past few days, and now it is obvious that Duran is targeting the Guanning Army, who dares to come out and say a word.

If Wu Sangui is here, Du Lan may still have some scruples, after all, he is a prince rewarded by the imperial court, but Du Lan is not in his eyes if he is just a Xia Guoxiang. Besides, this time it was originally to consume Wu Sangui's military strength, so none of the Manchurian generals who knew the inside story did not speak.

Xia Guoxiang saw that the meaning of these people was obvious, let all the Guan Ning army go up to attack the city, even if there were heavy casualties, it would not be a pity, it was best to exhaust the Guan Ning army.

When Xia Guoxiang saw everyone's reaction, he was immediately disheartened, is this what the prince has worked hard for? The power of the former Ming Dynasty has not been completely destroyed, and Yongli is still alive, so these people can't wait to consume the prince's army.

Xia Guoxiang knew that only Luo Keduo could change this situation now, and immediately said: "Lord Jun, do you really want to let the soldiers continue to attack?" Xia Guoxiang felt very uncomfortable, so his voice was a little low.

Luo Keduo seemed to hear Xia Guoxiang's voice at this time: "Oh, General Soldier Xia will do it, but it is the best to be able to conquer the victory level today." ”

Hearing Luo Keduo's words, Xia Guoxiang was completely angry, but he couldn't be angry with Luo Keduo now. Rocodo let him choose, how can he choose in this case? Can you withdraw your troops yourself? Luo Coduo said that it was best to take it today. Originally, it was a dispensable sentence, but as soon as Duran said that he would attack the wall with 6,000 men, and now there are still 14,000 troops that have not moved, can't he attack it?

If he ordered the withdrawal of troops, he would really become the person who feared the enemy and delayed the fighter planes in Duran's mouth. This is not to let yourself choose at all, but to force yourself to go up directly to attack the victory pass, and fight with the defenders in front of the pass.

Xia Guoxiang stopped talking, didn't even say goodbye to Luo Keduo, and directly turned back to Guan Ningjun. Hu Guozhu saw Xia Xiangguo coming back and said, "How is it?" Do you want to collect troops now? Xia Guoxiang said angrily: "What kind of soldiers do you collect?" Take 3,000 men up and continue to attack the Victory Pass. ”

Hu Guozhu was startled and said: "You are crazy, the army has stood for two hours, and has been roaring here for two hours, and there is still strength to attack the pass." ”

Xia Guoxiang said angrily: "You think about it, I don't know if the soldiers are tired?" But people are not allowed to withdraw their troops now, go, immediately lead a large army to attack the victory pass, and will not withdraw the troops if they do not win the victory pass today. ”

Although Hu Guozhu didn't know what was happening, after Xia Guoxiang gave the order, he immediately went out with 3,000 people and went straight to Shengjing Pass. When Hu Guozhu saw that Xia Guoxiang had given a death order, he was also furious, and shouted at Guan Ningjun: "Brothers, we have fought all the way from the north to Yunnan, and after hundreds of battles, can we stop this small victory?" ”

The other soldiers of the Guanning Army saw that the two main generals were angry, and they also knew that it would be impossible to finish the matter if they didn't defeat the Victory Realm Pass now, so they all roared angrily: "Defeat the Victory Realm Pass." Then he quickly wanted to win and run.

Guo Liai, who was at the Shengjing Pass, almost cried when he saw this, and shouted desperately: "Are these Qing soldiers really dead? It's been two hours since they fought, won't they break the victory barrier and not withdraw their troops? ”

The surrounding soldiers of the Restoration Army were also shocked, only those veterans of the Restoration Army shouted: "It doesn't matter if he collects the troops or not, we will kill as many as he comes, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they are not afraid of death." ”

With the encouragement of these soldiers, the surrounding soldiers also lost their fear and tried their best to block the Qing army. With the addition of 3,000 new troops of the Qing army under the pass, the defensive situation on the pass became more and more critical.

At this time, Hu Guozhu, who was under the gate, came up with his old trick again and shouted: "Break through the victory realm and don't seal the sword." The surrounding Guan Ning army was also a veteran of slaughtering the city, and when they heard this, they immediately felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes glowed green.

As the Qing army's offensive became more and more ferocious, more and more Qing troops rushed to the wall. Guo Liai and Xiong Yansheng can't think about whether they can defend it now, and the two of them are busy just going around to help. Seeing that the position of the Qing army on the wall was getting bigger and bigger, the casualties of the Restoration Army also rose sharply.
