The soldiers of the Fu Han army raised their guns in an orderly manner, and also carried ladders, and began to prepare for the siege. Since the Battle of Daye, the Qing army has seen the strength of the Fu Han army's siege of the city, and now the Qing army has been beaten back under the suppression of the Fu Han army's artillery fire and platoon guns, and does not dare to return fire at will.

The roar of artillery fire echoed in the ears of the Qing army, but the Qing army was difficult to fight back, the original sub-mother cannon and Weiyuan cannon on the city wall, in recent days in the shelling gradually destroyed, although they also threatened the artillery of the Han army - in the artillery battle, five six-jin guns and two twelve-jin guns were destroyed, but under the double suppression of quantity and performance, it still did not play a great role.

A full six ladders were erected on the top of the wall, and the soldiers of the Fu Han army climbed towards the head of the city, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell from the ladder on the way, but in the entire siege team, it seemed insignificant, like a drop of water being wiped away, but there was still a whole stream rushing forward.

The fiery red figures climbed on the head of the gun, some of them were only teenagers, and some were middle-aged men in their early forties, but they were a little the same, their faces were dark and honest, the joints of their hands were very thick, from putting down the hoe to holding the head of the gun, it only took a short time, these men from the rural areas of Chu constitute the backbone of the Fu Han army today.

Under the instruction of the training camp, they not only mastered the proficiency of weapons, but also accumulated anger against the Qing court—if it were not for the Qing court, each of them would now have their own few acres of land, plant their own crops, marry a rough wife, and have a fat child, this is the life they dream of, and all this can only be obtained by defeating the Qing court.

Chen Xiaowu is one of the representatives, and now he has changed his name to Chen Wu - after the Battle of Daye, Chen Xiaowu's regiment commander Dong Ce changed his name, this crop man who came out of the countryside of Chudi, killed more than a dozen Qing soldiers in the Battle of Daye City, became a company commander because of his merits, and later expanded the army with more than 100 people.

Whether it is Chen Xiaowu, a farmer in the past, or Chen Wu, the current company commander, in fact, the essence has not changed, he often passes on his success to his brothers in the company, that is, if he wants his wife and children to hot kang heads, he has to kill Qing soldiers.

As the clock ticked by, the battle on the walls continued, and the two behemoths were bleeding each other, and they gave up their resistance and focused all their attention on attacking. Even if it was a timid and incompetent Qing army, its performance in the defense of the city was still quite remarkable, at least before sunset, the Fu Han army did not take this majestic Jingzhou city.

Deng Fang, the head of the second regiment, had already led people to the city to rush three times, and now he himself had been hit by an arrow, and when he was carried down, his face was covered with blood, like Shura.

The siege battle ended all day, the Qing army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the Fu Han army also suffered more than 600 casualties, of which part of the casualties of the Qing army were caused by artillery fire, and the rest was crushed into dust in the flesh and blood mill at the head of the city.

At night, Ning Yu was discussing with Cheng Zhien about the next day's siege, most of the flags representing the Qing army on the sand table had been taken down, and the fiery red flag of the Fu Han Army had occupied most of the entire Hubei, while the place representing Jingzhou still firmly planted the flag of the Qing army, which looked quite eye-catching.

"Tell the master, someone claims to be the old man of the master and wants to come to visit the master." The herald outside the door came over and said.

Ning Yu was a little curious, could it be that he was already so famous? Before Jingzhou was laid, there were gentry who wanted to take refuge? However, it was a good thing, and there was no need to refuse, so he walked out of the tent of the Chinese military camp and went to the tent of the special guests.

There is a specially set up reception tent on the edge of the barracks, and it has been specially repaired, although it is not very elegant, but it is rare in this place of war and chaos.

Ning Yu opened the thick door curtain and walked in, but before the person could see the situation inside, he first smelled a strange fragrance, which was a little familiar.

There was a young man in Tsing Yi standing in the tent, wearing a wide soft hat, and his black hair was hidden in the hat, faintly revealing a corner, but just by this glance, Ning Yu dared to conclude that the other party should be a Xibei goods dressed as a man.

Before Ning Yu could speak, the young man in Tsing Yi turned around, revealing a rather familiar face, and pretended to be rough and said, "Brother Ning, don't come unharmed!" The little brother is polite. "This person is Chen Xiaogongzi, who was caught by Ning Yu in Peach Blossom Mountain.

Seeing Chen Xiaogongzi's attitude, Ning Yuqiang couldn't hold back a smile and said seriously: "It turned out to be Chen Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." He also deliberately accentuated the word childe, causing Chen Xiaogongzi's face to fly red.

For this Ning Yu, Chen Xiaogongzi's inner feelings are also quite complicated, when he was in Peach Blossom Mountain, he thought that the other party was just a gentleman, but the other party personally commanded hundreds of people to wipe out the Peach Blossom Mountain that had been entrenched for many years, which shocked Chen Xiaogongzi.

Later, after some changes happened, Chen Xiaogongzi was let go by Ning Yu, which made her a little unable to understand the guy in front of her, the other party seemed to belong to the type of freewheeling behavior, and did not consider the consequences at all. However, it was also from that time that Chen Xiaogongzi concluded that Ning Yu was anti-minded.

It's just that what Chen Xiaogongzi didn't expect was that the Ning family's rebellion was so rapid, and it was from then on that Ning Yu, as the young general of the Ning family, successively led the army to defeat Wuchang, Daye and Huangzhou Mansion, so as to become famous in Huguang and shake the world.

Chen Xiaogongzi looked at Ning Yu's slightly immature face, except for describing it as a genius, she was speechless, she calmed down slightly, and said softly: "Young General, I, Baihedao, have reached an agreement with the Metropolitan Governor, and we may be able to work together to restore the Han dynasty in the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty." ”

As for the restored Han dynasty, whether it is Ming or something else, it doesn't matter. Everyone understands that only in times of turmoil and strife can these people have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, so overthrowing the Qing court is the top priority.

Ning Yu chuckled and said, "Since the White Crane Dao and my father have reached an agreement, why did they come to look for me?" If I think about it carefully, is it possible that this Jingzhou City in front of me, do you have a way in the White Crane Dao? ”

Chen Xiaogongzi gritted her teeth, she was a little reluctant to be seen by Ning Yu, this guy was so easy, and snorted lightly: "Young General, I have heard the name of the young general no less than ten times this time, which can be called thunder, it is like a general in the sky, but now it seems that it is a little unworthy of the name." ”

The taste of counterattack in these words was inevitably stronger, and he almost pointed at Ning Yu's nose and scolded him for being a straw bag with a vain name, otherwise how could he not even take this Jingzhou City?
