Shen Zhiyuan looked impatient, and said to Bahana angrily: "Now Gege is also trapped in the city, and I think I should be imprisoned with the prince by Ganglin and Qi Chongge, she is my wife and is pregnant with my child, can I still kill her?" ”

And Bahana believed this, "That...... In your opinion, should the city be attacked? ”

"Siege!"

"Attack now?"

"Of course, sooner rather than later!"

Things in this world are so absurd.

Bahana, a serious Manchu man with a white flag, also has a loyal heart.

It stands to reason that he should share the same hatred with the defenders in Ziyang City, but in fact, he has become Chen Sheng and Shen Zhiyuan's "accomplice".

The attack of Bahana and Shen Zhiyuan outside the east gate was actually not intense.

It's not that Shen Zhiyuan forgot the original intention of waving his army to the west, but Bahana still had doubts about Shen Zhiyuan after all, and did not let Shen Zhiyuan's troops directly participate in the siege, but was only responsible for suppressing the defenders on the city with muskets and cooperating with his siege.

Most of Bahana's own troops were cavalry, with only 5,000 foot soldiers to attack the city, and Bahana also strictly ordered that he should not attack strongly, but only attacked tentatively one after another.

Bahana still wanted to get in touch with the city, even if it was to get in touch with Ganglin and Qi Chongge, he sent people to shout to the city several times, but his eyes were focused on Shen Zhiyuan, but he was soon disappointed, and Shen Zhiyuan did not say anything to stop him.

Shen Zhiyuan was determined and let Bahana do it, in his opinion, once the fire inside and outside the city was handed over, and he wanted to explain the misunderstanding with his mouth, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

At this time, Shen Zhiyuan secretly mobilized the army to bypass the north gate, and his intention was to block the Qing army's northern retreat and prevent Ganglin, Qi Chongge, and Dolbo from fleeing north.

……。

Although Bahana attacked "weakly".

But where is the number of him and Shen Zhiyuan, how can the defenders not be preoccupied and waiting?

And Shen Zhiyuan's new army continued to shoot at the city wall, and the gunshots were continuous? Not only did Dolbo, Ganglin, Qi Chongge, etc. in the city hear it? Even the Northern Expeditionary Army in the south of the city also talked and heard it.

Chen Sheng was puzzled at the time, he thought? Could it be that the prince also sent another division to attack the east gate?

Think about it? By the way, isn't the prince worried about Shen Zhiyuan's westward expansion?

So what does it see? The one who fought the diplomatic war at the East Gate should be Shen Zhiyuan.

But think about it the other way around? Isn't that right? Shen Zhiyuan led his troops from Yizhou, and the army sent by Ziyang City turned a blind eye to Shen Zhiyuan's 20,000 army?

An army of 20,000 marched into the army, even if the scouts of the Qing army were blind? It's impossible not to notice.

Think of it this way? Chen Sheng wondered if there was a mutiny in the direction of the east gate?

After all, the defenders in Ziyang City are not all Manchu banner soldiers, and the most part is still Han banners.

But whether it is the arrival of Shen Zhiyuan or the mutiny of the defenders? Chen Sheng believes that such a good opportunity cannot be missed.

So, Chen Sheng made a decision? Ordered the assembly of the soldiers who had fallen asleep.

Half an hour later, the Northern Expeditionary Army headed for the south gate of Ziyang? A fierce attack was launched.

……。

In Ziyang City, there is chaos at this time? The footsteps of troop movements? It didn't stop all day.

The east and south gates were attacked by a large army? The sound of gunfire shook the earth, and even the deaf could hear it.

The ordinary people in the houses wish they were invisible, and neither of the warring sides could see them, they closed the doors and windows, pressed the panic and apprehension in their hearts, and of course, there was a trace of curiosity - on the head of the city, should there be another change of the king's flag, right?

In Prince Rui's mansion, the lights are bright.

Dolbo, who was complimented by Ganglin and Qi Chongge as "broad-minded", was pale and bloodless, and he had long lost the calmness he pretended to be, and regained the nervousness and horror that a young man should have.

"Lord, you have to be the master...... I heard that there are tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the East Gate, how could this damn Bahana collude with Shen Rebellion...... The bannermen of Bahana can still resist, but the new army of Shen rebels has taken the firearms that the imperial court has bought with countless silver...... I'm afraid that Ziyang City won't be able to hold it tonight, lord, we have to quickly withdraw from the north gate, only in this way, after the city is broken, we won't become prisoners of the enemy......! ”

Dolbo's eyes were distracted, and he stared at Ganglin and Qi Chongge, who were still shouting during the day to stick to the city and live and die with Ziyang City.

Dolbo couldn't make a decision, but he still retained a trace of clarity in his heart, that is, he would rather be a prisoner of the Jianxing Dynasty than flee north.

If the true north escapes, the Prince Rui who has lost the army is equivalent to becoming a fish on the chopping block of Fulin, and at that time, it may be difficult to die, and Ama is the best example from the past.

But Dolbo didn't speak, and Ganglin and Qi Chongge were in a hurry.

Qi Chongge said as he approached Dolbo, "Lord Wang, it's too late if you don't leave, while there are still five or six thousand relatives around you, you can escort us to the north...... Don't worry, as long as you meet up with General Jinan's headquarters, you will definitely be able to return to the capital safely. ”

Saying this, Ganglin and Qi Chongge held Dolbo's arms hostage, ready to go out.

Dolbo suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "No...... This king will never retreat north! ”

These words made Gang Lin and Qi Chongge's faces suddenly gloomy.

Ganglin said compassionately: "The prince doesn't want to descend to the light, right?" ”

These words made Qi Chongge's face also change, and he stared sideways at Dolbo's eyes, and there was a possibility that he would tear his face if he didn't agree.

Also, these two people secretly went to Fulin, "sitting" in Yanzhou, and now they are seeing that they are going to abandon the city and flee north, if they drag Dolbo to the north, they will be regarded as a meritorious achievement, and they can also redeem their merits and escape the punishment of the Qing court.

But if Dolbo really intends to bring down his vision, then the sin of losing his teacher and losing his land will inevitably lead to death.

Dolbo was frightened by the expressions of Ganglin and the others, how did he want to come to light? He just didn't want to go to the capital to send people under the fence and linger.

"Ben Wang...... I...... Gege is still in the house. Dolbo squeaked, and as soon as he moved, he really made up a reason, "I...... I'm going to talk to my sister about what to do. ”

But Dolbo regretted it after speaking, because he saw that after hearing this, Gang Lin and Qi Chongge glanced at each other, their faces softened greatly, and they even showed a hint of a smile.

The battle started suddenly tonight, and during the day, the defenders still resisted well, how could Ganglin and Qi Chongge think that they would suddenly encounter the enemy at the east gate?

In a panic, he forgot that there was still Donggu in the palace.

You must know that Dongor is Dorogge, married to a husband who is the former general of the Qing court, and is now attacking the city outside the east gate.

If Nadongor forces Shen Zhiyuan to retreat, this may be a clever move.

Gang Lin and Qi Chongge looked at each other for a while, and they all knew each other's thoughts.
