At this time, Gang Lin and Qi Chongge had already felt the worry of their lives, and the word loyalty was more like a joke for people like them.

Of course, they will not descend, because they know very well in their hearts that they will not get a better status and welfare than they do now.

Dolbo agreed, and he didn't even put forward any conditions for Ganglin and Qi Chongge.

This made Ganglin and the two "grateful", and praised "the prince is broad-minded and has the wind of a father", God knows, if Dolgon is broad-minded, how can there be a matter of forcing Fulin to be called "the emperor's father".

As soon as Dolbo got started, he abolished the previous orders of Ganglin and Qi Chongge, opened the city gate, and contained the defeated soldiers, Ganglin and the others dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, as far as the situation was concerned, they only hoped to be able to hold Ziyang City for three days.

As a result, in Ziyang City, the strength of the Qing army instantly swelled, reaching 40,000 people.

……。

Chen Sheng led his troops to attack north overnight and easily recovered Jining Prefecture, which had no enemy army.

Subsequently, Wu Yi led the vanguard troops to the city of Ziyang and launched an attack on Ziyang overnight.

The ridiculous thing is that Wu Yi's army was only 3,000 people, and he attacked the south gate of Ziyang for a whole night, and there were 40,000 defenders in the city, but no army went out of the city to counterattack.

Until dawn, Chen Sheng led the main force to the south gate, and the attacking force was only half of the defender's strength, but Chen Sheng brazenly ordered to launch a general attack on the south gate.

The city wall of Ziyang City is much thicker and stronger than Yutai, not only that, but after becoming the "capital" of Dolbo, it has been strengthened twice, although it is not as good as Shuntianfu but the city wall is not too much.

It is almost impossible for such a wall to be destroyed by artillery fire.

The only place to attack is the city gates.

Unless the defenders have blocked the city gate, but Chen Sheng thinks that this is unlikely, since it is the "capital" of Dolbo, the city is naturally looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, if it is really sealed, then how can the Aobai reinforcements enter?

With this in mind, Chen Sheng decided to take a gamble.

The soldiers braved the arrows and stones, and with their thin military uniforms and flesh and blood, they resisted the stones and shells fired from the city, and the artillery positions were stunned to advance the artillery positions to a mile outside the city walls.

Chen Sheng greeted the defenders on the city wall with a "curved artillery" but when attacking Yutai, the cannonballs were used too much, and the supply was inconvenient at this time, which could not cause the power of Yutai.

And dozens of direct-fire guns were almost bombarded by the city gates.

In the end, Chen Sheng wanted to break through the city gate outside the city, and the defenders inside the city desperately repaired the city gate, and the two sides fought in a strange situation.

On the contrary, he ascended to the city and fought hand-to-hand with the defenders, and became a supporting role.

I have to say that Dolbo's appeal is still strong, although it is not like Yuele to settle in Haizhou, Naji Xiha, Lanbai to establish prestige, and behead Ganglin and Qi Chongge, but his rule in Yanzhou in the past two years is still good.

But Ganglin and Qi Chongge did not give up their hostage of Dolbo.

In other words, Dolbo is still under the control of the two.

Of course, that's for sure, otherwise, as soon as Dolbo comes back, won't they kill themselves?

The two armies fought fiercely for a day, and each of them withdrew his troops.

That night, the Bahana Department and Shen Zhiyuan's Department, which had risen from the direction of Yizhou, arrived outside the city.

When the defenders of the city received the report, they cheered.

In their opinion, Bahana's department is of course reinforcements, and the legendary Shen Zhiyuan, the general of Dangkou who has rebelled against Ming, since he can return with Bahana, naturally there was a misunderstanding before.

But Dolbo and Ganglin and Qi Chongge thought differently.

They all knew the inside story, especially Ganglin and Qi Chongge, when they heard the report, they swung their legs and almost peed their pants.

Dolbo thought, this is bad, could it be that Bahana was also reversed by Shen Zhiyuan? In this way, Naziyang City will definitely not be able to hold it.

And Ganglin and Qi Chongge were thinking, once Shen Zhiyuan led the army into the city, then the two of them had not been retaliated against by Dolbo, and they would become ghosts under Shen Zhiyuan's knife, you know, maybe the two of them killed Qing Yin It was a small matter, after all, it was just a maid who accompanied them, but they could be framed and forced to rebel, how could Shen Zhiyuan let them go?

The three of them had different ideas, but the decision they made was exactly the same, that is, to immediately close the east gate, refuse Bahana and Shen Zhiyuan to enter the city, and transfer troops to defend the east gate.

In this way, the defenders were stunned, and they were all thinking in their hearts, could it be that all the guns and foreheads have become enemies?

And the biggest consequence of this move is that the military forces are dispersed and the defense of the south gate is weakened.

……。

Chen Sheng did not attack the city overnight, so that Bahana could not know that Ziyang City was fighting fiercely.

In other words, Chen Sheng inadvertently contributed to the "rebellion" between the defenders in the city and Bahana.

Bahana was stunned at this time, and he wanted to shout to the city, but before he could get closer, there was a rain of arrows.

He tried to send messengers into the city, and was shot three people in a row.

Bahana realizes that there must be a misunderstanding in the city, but the question is how to explain it?

He glared at Shen Zhiyuan, who looked unfazed, and shouted angrily: "It's all your fault...... Now I'm the fish in the pond that has been hit! ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Lord Duquan is in a hurry, you and I are here to rescue the prince, and it is normal for the city to react like this...... This shows that Ganglin and Qi Chongge imprisoned the prince, and they were afraid that you and I would lead troops to come...... Of course, let's say okay, if you go into the city, I won't go into the city. ”

It was night, Bahana couldn't figure out the mystery for a while, he actually believed Shen Zhiyuan's serious nonsense, and also thought that the hostility of the defenders was the result of Ganglin and Qi Chongge's gaining power.

In this way, he softened his tone and asked Shen Zhiyuan, "That...... According to the meaning of the forehead, how should we deal with it at this time? ”

Shen Zhiyuan pointed to the direction of the city wall and said, "That's the rebels from Ganglin and Qi Chongge...... Since it is a rebel, it has to be requisitioned, you and I will attack that night, and we will be caught off guard by the rebels...... Perhaps, at dawn, the prince can be saved. ”

Bahana looked at Shen Zhiyuan suspiciously, and asked, "But if we attack the city, what if the two traitors Ganglin and Qi Chongge harm the prince?" Isn't the prince killed because of us...... This is unacceptable! Otherwise, let's wait until dawn and then negotiate with the city to force Ganglin and Qi Chongge to release the prince, or we have to see the prince and decide how to act. ”

Shen Zhiyuan frowned slightly, how can he wait for dawn, when the sky dawns, won't he show his stuffing?

"Lord Du Gong is too worried!" Shen Zhiyuan once again analyzed seriously, "Just imagine, if Ganglin and Qi Chongge will harm the prince because of you and me attacking the city, at dawn, even if we see the prince on the city tower, we still don't know what the prince thinks, and Ganglin and Qi Chongge can still harm the prince......." ”

Seeing that Bahana was confused, Shen Zhiyuan sighed, "To put it simply, we are here to attack the city to save the prince, the prince is the talisman of Ganglin and Qi Chongge, unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never harm the prince, otherwise, what will they talk to you and me?" ”

Bahana understood this, and after walking back and forth a few steps impatiently, he glared at Shen Zhiyuan and said, "Can you really guarantee that those two traitors will not harm the prince?" ”
