The white and white flags took over the attack of Gizhigra, and this time the two banners had already seen that the soldiers at the head of the city were tired, and they thought that this was a good time for them to make a meritorious service.

So the white flag of the capital of Jiya, the white flag of the capital of Menggen, these two people discussed at the bottom, and felt that this time the battle should be carried out in one go, and the will of the defenders on the city head should be directly broken.

The two men immediately ordered their cavalry to drive away the captives they had taken and to attack the city desperately.

Now the two of them did not attack in waves, as they did when Gizhigra attacked the city, and now they ordered all the captives to rush up.

The desperate siege of the city with white flags and inlaid white flags made the defenders at the head of the city a little unbearable.

These defenders managed to hold the city wall with great difficulty, and when they saw the enemy retreating, they wanted to take a break, but now they changed again, which made the defenders' hearts feel even more tired.

The boredom that this person has produced psychologically is very obvious physically.

And the captives below have now begun to attack the city, and these people at the head of the city also feel unprecedented despair when they see tens of thousands of people attacking together.

However, the captive soldiers below saw hope that as long as they broke through the Dragon City Pass, they would be able to save their lives and be rewarded.

So these people were desperate this time, and they didn't care about all the rolling logs and stones flying from their heads, and they desperately climbed to the top of the city.

As soon as one person falls from the ladder, the people behind him immediately make up for it, and there is no respite for the defenders on the castle tower.

And the Eight Banners cavalry, not far behind the city tower, used their ability to ride ** Zhan and kept supporting them in the rear.

This added to the losses of the defenders at the head of the city, who had to brave the incessant rain of arrows and throw logs and thunderstones at the city. The captives who climbed up the stairs fought bloodily, but it didn't take long for them to hold out from the top.

Ruan Zhengyu had a lot of this situation, and hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to go to reinforcements, although these soldiers were very brave, but the number was not much, and they were only a drop in the bucket when they arrived at the city.

Li Guangqing saw that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly came to Ruan Zhengyu's side.

"The king, the matter is urgent, the king immediately ordered all the men in the city to go to the city immediately, and ordered the strong women to assemble under the city tower and wait for reinforcements at any time."

Ruan Zhengyu shuddered when he heard this, if he really said this to Li Guangqing, then I am afraid that after this war, there will not be many people left in Longcheng Pass.

Li Guangqing saw Ruan Zhengyu's hesitation, and stomped his feet in anger, when has this come to be, and the kindness of these women.

"Great King, think about the millions of people behind the Longcheng Pass, and think about the ancestors of the Ruan family."

Ruan Zhengyu immediately gave up after hearing this, he also knew that it was time to break his tail and survive, sacrificing the people of Longcheng Pass to ensure the safety of millions of people, this business is capable.

So Ruan Zhengyu no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered his own personal soldiers to divide a part of it, go to the city to gather all the men, and drive them to the city tower.

Ruan Zhengyu and they were discussing here, and there were changes in the city.

Now there are fewer and fewer soldiers above the city, and they are gradually unable to resist the attack of those captives.

Ruan Zhengyu saw that the situation was in crisis, and immediately pulled out the sword beside him, and said to the civil and military ministers behind him: "Once the Longcheng Pass is broken, we will have no place to die and die, so it is better to fight to the death, maybe we can repel the enemy army." ”

After Ruan Zhengyu finished speaking, he rushed forward with his sword, and the civil and military officials behind him all looked at each other a little.

The generals all blushed a little, so they drew their swords and followed Ruan Zhengyu.

And these civil officials don't think so, what is the use of these helpless chickens? Isn't it a chance for the Central Plains people to set up an army to attack?

So these civil officials, instead of following their king, let their guards escort them back to the tower.

Prime Minister Li Guangqing was so angry that he stomped his feet when he saw the appearance of this group of literati, but he really couldn't do anything about them at this critical moment, so he could only step forward and persuade him: "You are all the pillars of the country, although you can't come forward now, it is better to send your own soldiers to reinforcements." ”

After listening to Li Guangqing's words, these ministers also blushed, and the last one nodded silently, and Li Guangqing immediately ordered these people's personal soldiers to go to the city with him as soon as they saw that they agreed.

Ruan Zhengyu led people to fight desperately, in this big battle, only the corpses on the city tower were all over the field, and in the end, the rolling wood and thunder stones were no longer enough, and these soldiers defending the city directly regarded the corpses of their comrades as rolling logs and threw them down to smash the captive soldiers who attacked the city.

But that's it, Ruan Zhengyu and they can't hold on, the original three thousand old and weak soldiers in Longcheng Pass have all been lost, and the thousands of strong men they recruited have also been lost, Ding Hao's thousands of soldiers and horses have also been killed and injured in the battle just now, and in the end, even the personal soldiers of the civil and military ministers gathered by Ruan Zhengyu are not left.

When Mungen saw that the resistance of the city was getting weaker and weaker, he immediately smiled, and he knew that the destruction of the city was at this time.

So Mungen didn't care about his age, and personally rushed to the city wall with 10,000 cavalry under his command to reinforce the captives.

With the addition of Mungen and others, captives gradually appeared on the castle tower, and they even occupied a small base.

Ruan Zhengyu was a little desperate now, and he knew that the city was broken at this time.

What Ruan Zhengyu is thinking about now is whether to live and die with the city, or to stay useful and retreat to Thang Long Mansion to fight the enemy.

At this critical moment, a group of people suddenly rushed up to the city tower with all kinds of weapons.

Ruan Zhengyu took a closer look, and immediately burst into tears, it turned out that these people were either eleven or twelve-year-old children, or fifty or sixty-year-old gray-haired old men, and they were holding either sickles or hoes in their hands.

When these men came to the top of the city, they immediately joined the warband, and although these people were weak in battle, they attacked the enemy as if they were crazy.

Thanks to the addition of this man, they were soon repelled once again by the captives.

Mungen stomped his feet under the city, thinking that this time he was about to break through the city, but he didn't expect another group of people to come up from the other side.

Ji Ya also shook his head when he saw this situation, he didn't expect these southern barbarians to be so tenacious.

Besides, now on the top of the city tower, although it is said that the captives will be repelled again, but as soon as Ruan Zhengyu counted the number of people, he was immediately burned.

It turns out that there are only five or six thousand people who can still stand and fight on the top of the castle tower, and most of these people are teenagers and old people in their fifties and sixties.

Li Guangqing also frowned all the time, he didn't expect that the people of the Central Plains would dare to let go and let the captive soldiers attack the city.

They did not know that the Tatars, in the course of their long-term practice, had already developed their own set of methods for the management of these slaves.

These people are almost always promoted by military merit, and if the merit is great enough, they can even join the Tatar tribe as slaves, and the Tatars value warriors in numbers, and there is no discrimination against these former captives who join them, but because they have been promoted because of their military merits, they are regarded as warriors.

The Manchu Eight Banners were almost all derived from the Tatars, so they perfectly inherited this set of rules.

Because of this set of regulations, the slave soldiers under his command also saw hope.

Compared with the fact that when they were in Annan, their military merits were deprived of those officers from noble backgrounds, the system of the Eight Banners of Manchuria made them feel more at ease.

Because of this, these captive soldiers are moving forward bravely one by one, one because they can be promoted and become masters with their military industry.

The second is because their families are still in Annam, and if they don't defeat Annam, when the war subsides, they will probably be implicated.

What's more, now that Longcheng Pass is about to be breached, these captives also see hope, so they are even more desperate.

Although Li Guangqing did not know why these captives were desperately attacking, he saw the current situation very clearly.

"The king, you should drive the strong girls under the city to the top of the city."

Ruan Zhengyu nodded silently after listening, and then let his own soldiers do it.

It didn't take long for a group of women to be caught up in the city, trembling with all the weapons they now held in their hands.

When they reached the city and saw the corpses all over the ground, many of the women immediately threw up on the wall.

As soon as Ruan Zhengyu saw this, he knew that this battle could not be fought, and these women couldn't even stand on their feet now, so you still expected them to defend the city and kill the enemy?

Li Guangqing also saw the seriousness of the situation, he pulled Ruan Zhengyu, and the two of them went to a place where people lived.

"The king, it seems that the Longcheng Pass is not guaranteed, and I ask the king to immediately retreat to the Shenglong Mansion with the civil and military officials to concentrate his troops, and then fight a decisive battle with the thieves in the Northern Dynasty."

Ruan Zhengyu had wanted to do this for a long time, but he still had to be more reserved now.

"I am the king of Annam, how can I escape from the battle, don't say this again."

Li Guangqing looked at Ruan Zhengyu's face full of entanglement, and knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he hurriedly persuaded again: "The king is not escaping, but exchanging space for time, so that he can repel the thieves and restore my country in the future." ”

Ruan Zhengyu thought about it for a while and didn't refuse again, because he knew that the next wave of attacks would come soon, and if he didn't leave now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave for a while.

"In this case, the king will listen to your arrangement, temporarily retreat to Thang Long Mansion, and then fight the enemy again."
