Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all listened attentively, and the noise of the surrounding soldiers gradually quieted down, and it seemed to be looming in the distance...... Killing sounds!

"The Tartars are attacking!" Duan Wuhu roared, and the mountain col suddenly fell silent.

Although they are in the deep mountain pass, in fact, the straight-line distance from Qingzhou City is less than six or seven miles, only separated by two mountains.

I won't be able to live in peace for a while! Chang Yu hurriedly ordered the troops to gather and prepare for battle, but Li Muxian frowned: "Prepared so quickly?" But why did you start it when it was dark? ”

Chang Yu's heart moved, tentative?

In the era of cold weapons, whether it is a field battle or a siege, except for a surprise attack, it is almost impossible to choose to carry out it after dark, because there are too many uncertain factors in the dark and difficult objects, and the field battle is easy to ambush, and the siege is even more difficult to see the people above, but they are exposed at a glance.

Most of them chose to attack when the weather was cool in the evening or when people were most sleepy early in the morning, but now the Qing army chose to fight after dark, which is very abnormal, and it is very likely that it is just to show its strength to put pressure on the defenders of Qingzhou City.

Of course, this is just speculation, no one can be sure what the truth is, and Chang Yu didn't dare to take it lightly, so he ordered Lu Xing to lead the army behind, and he and Guan Ren and other personal guards took the first step out of the mountain.

As soon as Chang Yu and his entourage ran out of the mountain pass, they met the scouts sent out earlier: "The newspaper factory supervisor Tartar has attacked the city"

"How many soldiers? Where is the main attack? Chang Yu hurriedly asked.

"There are at least 5,000 Tartars attacking the city in the southwest and the two cities in the northeast, and the two cities in the northeast are still unknown" The scouts only lurked near the mountain pass to observe, and could only roughly estimate the strength of the Qing army, and could not see the situation in the two cities in the northeast.

Chang Yu hurriedly ran towards the mountain pass, and there was a rumbling sound in his ears, the secret road was not good, and the artillery was used, which seemed to be not a small scene.

Chang Yu trotted all the way tired and panting, and when he was still a few hundred meters away from the mountain pass, he saw the fire under Qingzhou City in the distance, and the sound of killing shook the mountain.

Mountain!

Chang Yu did not rush out of the mountain pass directly as if he was stunned, but turned his head and gasped for breath on the northern hillside, his throat and eyes were about to burst into flames, but he didn't have time to drink saliva to moisten his throat.

Climb to the halfway up the mountain, no longer have the strength to look up, but it also happens to be able to overlook Qingzhou City from afar, under the night, the fire outside the city roars into the sky, and the sound of cannons roars and shadows, and the city is also lit up, but the city is pitch black.

Good! Chang Yu couldn't help but praise it.

If it is offensive and defensive during the day, the defense and arrangement of the troops in the city and the city are clear at a glance, but at night whoever lights the lamp is the target, but the attacking side has to hold the lamp to illuminate, if the city is also lit up, it is really a sand sculpture for the Qing army as an arrow target.

Jia Waixiong was born in Jin Wuwei, and he was originally a rookie, but he was born so early from Taiyuan to follow the little eunuch to the south and the north, and he was not the former Amon, not only can attack but also defend!

Yesterday, the Qing army had already said that the city would be broken if it did not open the door and surrender before this evening, and it was naturally impossible to surrender, but Jia Waixiong also knew that the Qing army was not joking, and a full-scale attack might not help but would definitely teach himself a lesson.

So I got up early in the morning and began to prepare for the battle, first summoning the villagers to go to the city to practice defense, and then mobilizing the people in the city to do a good job in logistics.

In the past few days, the people in Qingzhou City have been coaxed and frightened, and the king of Heng has been rewarded, which can be said to be united, vowing to desperately protect their homeland and prevent the Tartars from stepping into a step.

The morale of the army and the people is like a rainbow, and Jia Waixiong is also full of pride, pointing to the Qing army camp in the north of the city: "Come on, the big knife of the master is hungry and thirsty."

After noon, there were many people in the distance in the north of the city, and Jia Waixiong knew that it was the Qing army that came to reinforce again, frowning and saying to Lao Jiu: "Take care, today may be the last time our brothers brag together."

"Boss Jia is optimistic, don't you still scold Song Luoyu in the morning, why are you cowardly now" Lao Jiu smiled and turned his head to look at Song Luoyu: "Yes, no female general."

Song Luoyu rarely didn't scare him, looked at Zhengbei and smiled without saying a word, just reached out and grabbed Song Luoshu's arm next to him.

"Whoever is cowardly, I am not allowed to be hypocritical" Jia Waixiong laughed and looked at the distance due north, "Tartar is going to give us a punch tonight."

There were more than 10,000 Qing troops outside the city, and this suddenly there were thousands, and the siege of nearly 20,000 troops made the hearts of everyone in the city feel like a big stone and couldn't breathe.

Since the Tartar rear army has moved, it is time for the little overseer's people to come, Jia Waixiong muttered in his heart, subconsciously looked in the northwest direction, and suddenly frowned: "Hey, look, the little overseer is here" raised his hand and pointed, and there were faint soldiers and horses coming slowly in the northwest Linzi direction.

Everyone was overjoyed, but then their expressions became gloomy, the soldiers and horses in the west roughly estimated that they could not touch two or three thousand, not to mention that they could not hit the city, even if they were hit, they could not turn over any waves, and more importantly, there was also a Qing army in the north along the east bank of the Beiyang River slowly moving south, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to intercept the shareholders entering the Ming army.

Although there are few reinforcements, it is better than nothing, Jia Waixiong cheered everyone up: "The little overseer will not see death and let us die in vain, he has said before he left Don't care about the situation outside, just defend the city."

"Yes, it doesn't matter how many Tartars he comes, we just need to defend the city," Lao Jiu shouted.

In the evening, thousands of reinforcements from the Qing army slowly approached, and at this time, Jia Waixiong and others saw that it was not the regular army, but the ragged people of the Ming Dynasty who were captured by the Qing army, commonly known as cannon fodder!

At this time, the real regular army has been on the bank of the Beiyang River ten miles northeast of Qingzhou City and the Ming army reinforcements across the river to confront each other, the two sides are equal in soldiers and horses, but they can't see who is stronger from Taiyuan, but everyone in the city knows that the Ming army wants to cross the river and rush over when the strength is equal, it is extremely difficult!

Maybe the task of this support soldier is not to cross the river from time to time, but to contain the Qing army's troops, Jia Waixiong secretly thought, although he is not the kind of person who is good at scheming, but he has seen pigs walking after following the little eunuch for a long time, and he still has a little eyesight.

At dusk, a Qing army stepped across the Nanyang River to the north gate of the city and asked: "The time has come, will you wait to surrender or not?" ”

As soon as the words fell, arrows flew like rain on the head of Yincheng, shooting over several cavalry of the Qing army, and the rest fled in a hurry.

Seeing that the defenders were very stubborn, he no longer talked nonsense, and ordered the soldiers and horses to cross the river and besiege the city.

Nikan led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the south city, Geng Zhongming led 2,000 to the east city, Wakda, Kang Khal's uncle and nephew led 3,000 to the west city, and Shang Kexi led 5,000 to sit in the north city.

In addition to thousands of soldiers and horses, each gate also received more than 1,000 cannon fodder, dragged the baggage to the city, and waited for an order to attack the four gates.

In the face of the Qing army's siege on all sides, Jia Waixiong and others in the city were also looking down on life and death, and they would do it if they didn't accept it, Lao Jiu went to the south gate, Song Luoyu went to the east gate, Song Luoshu guarded the west gate, and Jia Waixiong immediately looked at the north city coldly and watched Shang Kexi's army slowly cross the river and advance towards the city.
