By the time the soldiers carried boxes of silver up the city walls, the surrounding defenders were already glowing green. Guo Li Ai asked people to open the box and said, "Have you seen these silver taels?" Today, every one who goes up to the city will be given two taels of silver. When defending the city, one person who killed the Qing soldiers could get a reward of five taels of silver. The silver is here, as long as the Qing soldiers are killed and cashed on the spot. ”

The defenders and people in the city suddenly boiled, seeing that some soldiers were starting to distribute silver one by one, and they were even more excited to kill out of the city now and cut off the heads of a few Qing soldiers. The person who received the money immediately took it into his arms, fearing that someone would snatch it.

Liu Dongcai and Wang Mingchi saw that the morale of the defenders was suddenly high, and said happily: "The general is really a good means, so that the morale of our army is high, and we can see how the Qing army will attack the city." Guo Li Ai also said confidently: "That is, today I must let the Manchurians take a good look at the demeanor of my Han man." ”

The Qing army under the city was stimulated by the slaughter of the city, and the soldiers were also like chicken blood, and everyone jumped to try and prepare to attack the city. Seeing this, Ba Sihan said to Li Ruchun: "Start attacking the city as soon as possible, I hope to take Guiyang City today." Li Ruchun said: "Okay, don't worry, Master Ba, I'll go and organize the siege." ”

After a while, the drums of the siege under the city sounded, and the Qing army, which had long been unable to hold back, moved towards the city wall one after another. This time, there was no urging from the supervising team, nor was there any reprimand from the generals, and the Qing army marched forward in a neat military formation.

Seeing this, Guo Li Ai in the city quickly put the artillery in the city in place. Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou, and there are dozens of cannons on the city walls. Now there are only ten cannons assigned to the Qing army's siege side, but when the Qing army enters the firing range, the cannons on the city still sound immediately.

The cannonball was fired at the Qing army under the city with a loud bang, and the shell fell and immediately hit two Qing soldiers, who died before they could even scream. Then the cannonball smashed the ground, and then it bounced up and continued to sweep the Qing army behind. However, the Qing troops under the city did not look at their comrades who were hit by the cannonballs, and they all ran towards the city wall with all their might.

They knew that now that the shells had fallen, it would take time for the cannons to be fired again, so they would no longer have to worry about the threat of the cannons as long as they ran to the city. Now running in front of the surrendering army in Yungui and other places, followed by the Qing army from Huguanglai, and the last to watch the battle is Chen Fu, the general of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, with the Han Eight Banners Army supervising the formation in the distance. The Manchurian soldiers with red flags in Manchuria were just lined up at the camp gate to watch.

The Qing army under the city had the temptation of slaughtering the city, and they all rushed to kill, only to see that the Qing army who climbed the city to attack was all vigorous, and where could they still see the malaise of the previous two days. The defenders of the city, stimulated by the silver, also gave up their lives, changing the procrastination of the previous few days, and cutting people was all swords. The archers on both sides were also desperately pulling their bows and shooting arrows, eager to shoot all the arrows in the quiver at once.

The soldiers on both sides entered a white fever at the beginning, and the number of casualties also skyrocketed. Looking at the siege troops that went forward one after another, Ba Sihan said with satisfaction: "If we could have this momentum two days ago, Guiyang City would have been taken long ago." The red-flag-inlaid general beside him said: "Ezhen joked, without the temptation of slaughtering the city, these Han people would not be willing to die." ”

Ba Sihan said: "It's okay, let them Han kill Han people, and we Manchurians can sit firmly in this country." When the city wall of Guiyang is breached, the army will attack the city and kill all the Han people in the city. People like Guo Li Ai want to cut him with a thousand knives, so that those Han generals will always remember that if they dare to rebel against our Qing Dynasty, they will not die well. ”

Just as Ba Sihan was talking to his subordinates, the fighting on the city wall became more and more intense, and many Qing troops had already attacked the city wall. Seeing this, Li Ruchun, who was supervising the battle behind the surrendering army, shouted even harder: "Quick, go to the city wall, as long as you can break through the city, you won't seal the sword for three days, the girls and women in the city are all yours." The money that is in the city is yours, and you will go up to the city. ”

The Qing army, which was already like a bloody chicken, rushed to the city wall desperately at this time. There were people who were injured and fell down from the city wall, and many of them died on the spot. But there were also many people who did not die, and kept wailing under the city walls, but no one looked at them anymore. The treasures and women of the city are what they think in their minds and see in their eyes now.

Wang Mingchi in the city saw the crazy Qing army under the city, and said with some trepidation: "It seems that the king of Xinjun didn't want to talk to us at all, did we go the wrong way." Liu Dongcai also said: "Yes, otherwise how could the besieging army be so crazy." This must not be intended to surrender, this is to kill us directly. ”

Guo Liai also regretted it a little at this time, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to say: "Is it useful to regret it now?" Only by desperately defending can we have a way out, otherwise when they attack us, we will have no way to survive at all. But if we hold Guiyang, the conditions will not be left to us at that time. ”

After Guo Li Ai said this, Wang Mingchi and Liu Dongcai had no choice but to defend it with all their might, and immediately went to the city to kill the enemy. With the addition of the two, the defenders saw that the generals were coming to the front line, and their morale was immediately high, and for a while, the besieging army was blocked by the side of the city wall.

Wang Xing and others under the city are also very anxious, and now they can't enter on the edge of this city wall. If you want to retreat, Ba Sihan also said that if you don't break Guiyang City today and don't collect troops, it will be impossible to retreat. Seeing this situation, Wang Xing said to Zhu Shouquan and Wang Liucang: "If we can't break through the city again, I'm afraid we will all die under this city wall, so if you have the courage to follow me to climb the city." ”

After Wang Xing finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhu Shouquan and Wang Liucang to answer, he directly bit the long knife and climbed to the city wall. Wang Xing relied on his agility and climbed to the edge of the city wall in a few clicks. At this time, the defenders of the city came out to block, and when Wang Xing saw it, he grabbed the ladder with one hand and held the knife with the other hand to resist the knife cut by the defenders.

As soon as Wang Xing swung the knife away, another person stabbed him directly with a spear, and Wang Xing saw that he couldn't dodge, so he immediately stopped dodging and climbed up directly. The spear of the defender stabbed out against Wang Xing's back, and Wang Xing was already standing at the head of the city.

As soon as Wang Xing stood firm, he saw someone carrying the gold juice over, Wang Xing immediately threw the knife at the Minzhuang who was carrying the gold juice in front of him, and the Minzhuang was stuck in the shoulder with the knife, and he screamed in pain. The gold juice in his hand couldn't be lifted steadily, so he hurriedly threw it away to cover the wound, and the other person was also pulled by the pot of gold juice and almost threw himself into the pot.

A pot of gold juice was poured on the city wall, and the defenders who were hot with gold juice jumped to their feet, and Wang Xing also took the opportunity to hold a spear in his hand. At this time, the defenders surrounded him, and Wang Xing waved the spear in his hand. Suddenly, a spear was splashed with water, and the defenders couldn't get close for a while, and the Qing army attacking the city behind also came up with three or four people.

Zhu Shouquan and Wang Liu Cang under the city listened to Wang Xing's words, and they also sacrificed their lives to climb the city wall. When five or six people came up from Wang Xing's side, Zhu Shouquan and Wang Liucang also climbed the city wall one after another. Seeing that several people had gathered in front of Wang Xing, the two immediately killed and joined Wang Xing. With these two people responding, Wang Xing suddenly felt a lot less pressure, and then responded to a few people coming up in a row, and suddenly there were more than a dozen people in the Qing army forming a formation on the city wall.

At this time, the defenders could not easily drive Wang Xing and others off the city, and the other Qing troops who were still climbing up the city suddenly became even more crazy when they saw this, and people continued to attack the city wall. The positions of Wang Xing and others are also getting bigger and bigger, and by the time there are about thirty people on the city wall, the defenders can no longer pose much threat to the military formation of Wang Xing and others.

Liu Dongcai, who was on the city wall, also saw the Qing army attacking the city, and immediately rushed over with his own soldiers, commanding the nearby defenders to press up, wanting to drive the Qing army down again. But Wang Xing and the others have formed an army formation, and it is so easy there. Liu Dong saw that the defenders could not drive the Qing army out of the city for a long time, so he directly killed the Qing army attacking the city with his own sword.

When Liu Dong came to the front, it was Zhu Shouquan and others, who were also generals of Zunyi in the Ming Dynasty, who attacked the city wall, and immediately said: "You and I are acquaintances, why bother to force each other?" Wang Liucang smiled bitterly: "There is me who is forced to wait for each other, yesterday the Manchurian Tartar has already said, today will not break Guiyang and vow not to withdraw troops." ”

Only then did Liu Dong know and said, "Could it be that a few people really watched their brothers die like this?" Do you want to exchange your brother's head for a future? Wang Xing said: "We don't have to let our brother die here, let's flee for our lives before the city is broken." The Manchurian Tartar said, slaughtering the city for three days after the city was broken. ”

Liu Dongcai was shocked when he heard this: "How is this good." At this time, Wang Mingchi saw that the Qing army besieging the city here had not been beaten for a long time, and he also brought his own soldiers over, and was also surprised to see Wang Xing and others: "Why are you attacking the city?" You don't want your men to live, such a desperate siege. ”

At this time, Zhu Shouquan said: "It's not a good thing that you and Guo Li love have done, and now those Manchurian Tartars are determined not to talk to you, but only focus on attacking the city, and they also said that the city will be slaughtered for three days if the city is broken." Wang Mingchi said: "How did I get this, I knew that it would be the current situation, and I shouldn't have killed Bian Sanyuan that day." ”

Liu Dongcai said: "What's the use of talking about it now? Manchurian Tartars, this is going to make us kill each other. Wang Liucang said: "General Wang Xing is right, you better run for your lives quickly, you won't be able to leave if it's late." Liu Dongcai and Wang Mingchi were a little moved, now it seems that Doni and other Manchurians really have no intention of surrendering, if they continue to spend here, there is really only a dead end.

Liu Dongcai and Wang Mingchi were a little hesitant, and they were not so strict in their defensive command, although Wang Xing and others had mercy on their subordinates, but they couldn't stand more and more Qing troops attacking the city wall. The defenders' line of defense was retreating more and more, and the entire wall was about to be occupied. Guo Liai, who was in the distance, also ran over and yelled, "What are you thinking? Now if the city is broken, everyone will die, and the Qing army said that the city will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs in the entire Guiyang City will not be left. ”

Being yelled at by Guo Liai, not only Liu Dongcai and Wang Mingchi were shocked in their hearts, but even those defenders who kept retreating no longer thought about it. Yes, the Qing army entered the city to slaughter the city, not just kill those generals, no one in Guiyang City will be spared.

Suddenly, the defenders burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and the Qing army that attacked the city wall retreated again and again, and even Wang Xing and others were gradually forced to the edge of the city wall. Wang Xing and the others all complained bitterly when they saw this, if they were to be beaten down the city wall, it would not be easy to attack it again. Now that the soldiers have been attacking the city for nearly an hour, they are no longer as passionate as when they first heard about the massacre in the morning, and now the troops have suffered a lot of casualties, and if they want to attack the city again, the soldiers will have a shadow in their hearts.

Wang Xing and others had to work hard to support, and with Liu Dongcai, Wang Mingchi and the army were pressing forward step by step, and Wang Xing and others also became angry. A few people can no longer care about the feelings of their former colleagues, and you come and go with your hands. Zhu Shouquan shouted: "Let you go, you don't go." Now that we are still struggling with each other, do we really want to fight to the death here? ”

Liu Dongcai was also angry, and roared angrily: "You are so unreasonable on this dog day, now that this Guiyang City is surrounded by Qing troops on all sides, how can we get out." Since you don't care about the past, just come, am I afraid that my surname Liu will not make it? As he spoke, he slashed his knife and killed Zhu Shouquan.

Zhu Shouquan saw that Liu Dongcai was so disobedient, and immediately didn't want to say anything, if you don't leave to live, it's useless to blame me. If you want to die, I Zhu Shouquan will fulfill you today, see if you Liu Dongcai is capable of being fierce, or if I Zhu Shouquan is capable and enduring.

The two of them immediately caught the right fight on the city wall, and you and I went back and forth with a knife and a desperate way of fighting. Wang Xing couldn't persuade him anymore when he saw it, and the Qing army continued to pour onto the city wall. The defenders' positions were gradually compressed, and Wang Xing also led the Qing army to continuously rush to the city gate.

Guo Liai and other generals who defended the city were all around Wang Xing and others, and other places could not be taken care of. At this time, it was also attacked by the Qing army, and the defenders in those places were the Qing troops who were originally stationed in Guiyang. I have seen the ferocity of the Qing army, and I have this huge shadow in my heart for the Qing army, and now I see that the Qing army is now attacking the city, and my heart has long been bottomless, and the whole person is frightened and trembling. If it weren't for Guo Liai and others before, they would have surrendered on the ground a long time ago.

These people were frightened by the Qing army, and it was better to have Guo Liai and others suppressing them, but now Guo Liai and others have surrounded Wang Xing and others. Looking at the Qing troops rushing to the city wall everywhere, there are still the courage to defend there. The generals were already dumbfounded, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, they had even forgotten to run, and the soldiers on defense were scattered in a hurry when they saw this.

The Qing army besieging the city took the opportunity to attack the city wall, chasing the defenders all the way and slashing wildly, and suddenly those defenders fled from the city crying and shouting, and the defenders' defense line collapsed instantly. The Qing troops around them cheered loudly when they saw it, shouting: "The city is broken, the city wall is broken." ”

At this time, the Qing army that had already attacked the city wall had gathered to attack the city gate, and was trying to open the city gate by all means. The Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who supervised the battle outside the city and the Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners at the gate of the barracks were suddenly excited, as long as the city gate was opened, they could rush into the city to kill the Quartet.

Guo Liai and others, who were fighting against Wang Xing and others, heard the cheers of the Qing army attacking the city on the other side, and knew that things were not good, and when they turned their heads to see that their faces turned white.
