Chapter 379: Precarious

The Qing army took the opportunity to launch round after round of offensives.

They found that the city of Chengdu, which had been heavily defended by the Western Army, was nothing more than that.

There are too many vulnerabilities to exploit and too many vulnerabilities to break through.

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Qing army, the western army at the head of the city seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

The rolling wood and stones prepared at the head of the city are very limited, and they cannot be effectively replenished after they are used up.

Zhang Kewang had no choice but to let the soldiers press towards the battlements, relying on the terrain advantage to suppress the momentum of the Qing army.

It's just that the Qing army's vigor seems to be very sufficient, as if it has eaten the Western Army, no matter how the soldiers of the Western Army suppress it, the vanguard of the Qing Army will always continue to fight back.

Damn it!

Zhang Kewang faintly felt that something was wrong.

When they were in Boryeong, the Qing army also launched siege warfare, but they swarmed in by blowing up the city walls.

Relying on a pile of ants to attack the city like today, Zhang Kewang really hasn't seen it.

The biggest disadvantage of the ant-attached siege is that it consumes a lot.

The damage to personnel is also unpredictable.

But the Qing army didn't seem to care about these losses at all, and made up their minds to take Chengdu.

It's just horrible.

Zhang Kewang only felt that his back molars were itching with hatred.

If Zhang Dingguo was in Chengdu now, the Qing army would not dare to attack so blatantly. This is deceiving him and there is no one in his hands.

Zhang Kewang is indeed facing the embarrassing situation of no one available.

There are quite a few generals under his command, but most of them belong to the kind of mediocre people. It may be okay to let them fight a good fight, but it is unrealistic to expect them to turn the tide.

But if you don't fight now, you are waiting for death, Zhang Kewang doesn't think that he has such good luck to escape from Ascension again.

So you must grit your teeth and fight it.

Maybe Zhang Dingguo has already led his troops to the vicinity of Chengdu? Maybe they will last another day and a half, and Zhang Dingguo's reinforcements will arrive?

How do you know if you can't do it without trying?

Zhang Kewang took a deep breath and continued to beat the drums to cheer for the soldiers.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The sound of killing shook the sky, and relying on a momentum, the Western Army drove down the vanguard of the Qing army that rushed up.

......

......

"Mr. Hong, Ben Baylor is very stalemate when he sees the battle situation, are you really sure that you can take Chengdu in three hours?"

Bolo certainly trusts Hong Chengchou very much, but looking at the current situation, no one on either side can say that they have the advantage on the field.

If this situation continues, it will be very detrimental to the Qing army.

After all, the Western Army is fighting on its own soil, and the supply lines are zero.

The Qing army carried very limited food and grass for the army, and if they could not fight quickly, they were likely to consume themselves to death.

And Zhang Dingguo's reinforcements may arrive at any time.

At that time, the Qing army was likely to be flanked from the front and rear.

Although the Eight Banners Iron Rider is invincible in the world and is not afraid of any enemy, Bolo does not want to put himself in danger.

"Lord Belle rest assured, the minions have already been planned. Don't look at the current thieves fighting very fiercely, it won't be long before they can't hold on. ”

Hong Chengchou's grasp of people's hearts has reached the realm of transformation, which is far from being comparable to a young man like Bolo.

He knew very well that Zhang Kewang's mood at the moment was desperate, and he was just fighting the trapped beasts.

What the Qing army had to do was to launch rounds of attacks according to the plan, until Zhang Kewang could no longer hold it and collapsed, and the Qing army could take Chengdu.

Moreover, the people in the city can also create chaos and add to the blockage of the western army.

The Western Army needs to deal with both foreign wars and civil strife, how can it be undefeated?

"That's good, Ben Baylor naturally believes in Mr. Hong, you just let it go."

Bolo is still very self-aware.

He knew that his ability was not enough to command an army of tens of thousands of people, and it was better to let professional people do professional things than for laymen to guide insiders.

Anyway, if he won the war, he must have the greatest credit as a general who conquered the west.

......

......

The four gates of Chengdu are under great pressure.

The people launched rounds of attacks on the city gate like crazy, and although Zhang Kewang sent troops to suppress it, he could only hold it down for a while.

The gates of the East City were finally overwhelmed and knocked open.

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the mentality of the soldiers of the Western Army completely collapsed.

Hong Chengchou naturally discovered this at the first time, and hurriedly dispatched the main force of the Eight Banners to attack the East Gate.

Seeing the Eight Banners Army rushing towards them, the soldiers of the Western Army were stunned at first, and then they still stubbornly went up.

They desperately tried to plug the gap, but how could the improvised infantry formation hold back the galloping cavalry.

The Eight Banners Army broke through the gap with only one charge, and the Western Army's formation was scattered.

Zhang Kewang had to send more soldiers to the east gate to block the advance of the Qing army, but this further thinned the strength of the city, and the Qing soldiers who went up the ladder took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the city.

Space is the most critical in siege warfare.

If you have a little space, the enemy will have less space.

The besieging side could not have won the battle if they did not have enough space to gain a foothold at the head of the city.

But the current situation is that the Qing army is constantly encroaching on the space that belonged to the Western Army, and there are more and more Qing soldiers on the city, and the soldiers of the Western Army are forced to retreat.

The scene became extremely awkward at one point.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now? Make your decision! ”

Zhang Kewang was already dead at the moment, and the soldiers reminded him for a long time but still did not respond.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers fell to their knees and begged Zhang Kewang to find a way.

Now the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Western Army are all in Zhang Kewang's thoughts.

"What can I do, what can I do."

Zhang Kewang shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "This is the day is going to die in Daxi, and the sky is going to die in Daxi." ”

Zhang Kewang knew very well that even if he held the city for the time being, it would be meaningless.

Now that the Qing cavalry has stormed the city, several other gates will soon be opened.

At that time, they will no longer even have to fight for control of the city, they only need to rush into the urn to catch turtles and trap all the western troops to death.

"Your Majesty, why don't we escape!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we escort you out of the city!"

Zhang Kewang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Escape? Even if they can really break through, where can they escape? ”

The reason why Zhang Kewang broke through the siege when he was in Baoning before was that he knew that he could still escape to Chengdu to regroup and fight the Qing army again.

But the current situation is that the Qing army is even going to take Chengdu.

This is the largest stronghold of the Great Western Army in Sichuan.

Even Chengdu is gone, where can he flee to?

Jianchang?

With a poor and remote place like Jianchang, can it feed tens of thousands of troops?

Zhang Kewang only felt that his heart was like a knife.

After a difficult ideological struggle, Zhang Kewang finally made up his mind.

He wasn't going to run away, he was going to surrender.
