Zhang Kewang's mood at the moment is extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he was immersed in the grief of his father-in-law's violent death, and on the other hand, he had to pretend to be calm in front of the soldiers of the Great Western Army, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Kewang knew very well in his heart that with the current strength of the two sides, the Great Western Army could only drag. It was not until Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Nengqi's reinforcements arrived that they had a chance to counterattack.

Otherwise...

Zhang Kewang didn't dare to think about what would happen if the reinforcements didn't arrive, there were more than 20,000 soldiers in this Huaiqing City, and he must save their lives.

...

...

Liu Jinzhong saw that the Great Western Army above the city was a little flustered, and his heart was full of joy.

shot, he actually shot Zhang Xianzhong.

He clearly saw Zhang Xianzhong falling.

Although it is not known whether Zhang Xianzhong died or not, it is certain that Zhang Xianzhong was at least injured.

This was a great joy for Liu Jinzhong personally and for the Qing army.

Liu Jinzhong accepted the name of the Qing army and proved himself.

The Qing army could take advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Huaiqing City.

Liu Jinzhong, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, trotted in front of Hong Chengchou and said with a smile: "You have seen it, Lord Governor, the last general shot an arrow at the thief!" ”

"Well, you're doing a great job."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard lightly and bowed slightly.

In fact, he also said angry words, and he didn't really expect Liu Jinzhong to shoot Zhang Xianzhong. I never thought that Liu Jinzhong would come with great might, remembering a hundred steps through Yang.

"Someone, order down and order the soldiers to shout that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and the rest surrender quickly."

Of course, Hong Chengchou doesn't know if Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death, but he will make a big fuss about this matter and maximize his interests.

After hearing Hong Chengchou's military order, he immediately had his own soldiers go to deliver the order.

As for Liu Jinzhong, he secretly sighed that the governor's methods were clever, so the military spirit of the Western Army was bound to be greatly affected.

"Woo woo ~ woo woo ~ woo woo ~ "

With the muffled sound of the conch horn, the Green Battalion began another round of fierce charge.

They also heard the news that the thief was dead, and the breath that had been vented was refilled.

"Kill, kill! The offering thief is dead, the offering thief is dead! ”

In the face of the surging green battalion soldiers, the soldiers of the Great Western Army, who were responsible for guarding the gentle slope, gradually became overwhelmed.

Zhang Kewang had to transfer another group of soldiers to reinforcements.

But if it goes on like this, the Great Western Army will suffer.

Their numbers are not as large as the Qing army, and they can't fight for consumption, and they will be consumed to death if they are consumed.

Zhang Kewang knows very well that this is a slow death, but what can he do except stick to him?

It's better to die faster in a decisive battle out of the city, maybe you'll have to wait for reinforcements?

The only thing that made Zhang Kewang feel a little relieved was that the desire to survive was still very strong, and they knew very well what their fate would be after the city was broken, so they were willing to fight to the end.

"Kill, kill the Tartar and reward thirty taels of silver!"

Zhang Kewang is also not stingy when he lives and dies, anyway, if a person dies, no matter how much money he has to give to others, it is better to use it to motivate the soldiers to kill the Tartars.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Zhang Kewang's pro-soldiers shouted loudly.

...

...

"Why haven't you taken it yet!"

Hong Chengchou frowned and asked sharply.

Liu Jinzhong was sweating like rain.

"Lord Governor, the thieves are stubbornly resisting, but they are fighting the trapped beasts, and they won't last long."

"Well, don't listen to this. The Governor shall give you one hour to open the gap, otherwise you will be punished according to military law. ”

Hong Chengchou glared at Liu Jinzhong fiercely and said.

Liu Jinzhong wanted to cry without tears, and the heart of the governor turned his face faster than turning a book.

Fang Cai also praised him for being a malleable talent, and in the blink of an eye, he spoke coldly.

"The last general obeys!"

Although he was very aggrieved in his heart, Liu Jinzhong still had to pinch his nose and admit it.

There's no way, who told him to eat in the Qing army now.

If he dared to refuse the military order, Hong Chengchou would be able to cut him down immediately.

The burden was pressed above, and Liu Jinzhong had to continue to press the burden down.

He made it clear to the soldiers that if you don't take this section of the wall in an hour, none of you will be able to escape.

It turns out that pressure can still work.

The Green Battalion's attack was noticeably more violent.

And it's round after round, and it's very layered.

These green battalion soldiers desperately attacked the temporary defense line formed by the Great Western Army.

After one attempt after another, this line of defense was finally broken.

Liu Jinzhong was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted: "Chong, give it to our Lao Tzu!" Kill all the thieves, and leave no one behind! ”

Thinking that he was insulted by Zhang Xianzhong like that, Liu Jinzhong felt angry.

Even with a grudge against all the soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong's command.

The Green Battalion soldiers were also getting more and more excited.

Their efforts have finally paid off, and the next steps are much simpler.

A hole was opened on the gentle slope, and then the hole became bigger and bigger, and the soldiers of the Great Western Army made several attempts to plug the opening, but they were all driven back by the Qing army.

Zhang Kewang's mood was extremely bad.

There were more and more green battalions in the city, and the soldiers of the Great Western Army were constantly retreating.

It won't be long before the walls get completely out of control, and once the Green Battalion enters the inner city, opens the gates, and lets the other Tartars into the city, they will really be doomed.

Zhang Kewang clenched his fists tightly, and indeed gritted his teeth.

He was not reconciled! Why, why should he die here.

If he wants to live, he must live to avenge his father-in-law.

"Someone, ready to break through!"

According to the current situation, it will not take half an hour for the Great Western Army to lose control of Huaiqing City, and to continue to stay here is to wait for death.

Zhang Kewang has decided to take a desperate gamble and fight for his life to break through.

When he succeeded, he escaped and ascended to heaven.

Even if he failed, he tried, and he had no regrets.

Of course, he would not choose to break through from the northern city that the Qing army stormed, but chose the southern city.

Although the Qing army surrounded Huaiqing City, there was always a focus on the distribution of troops.

There is no doubt that there are the most Qing troops outside the northern city, and there are real captives pressing the formation, so Zhang Kewang will certainly not choose to break through from here.

The number of people who break through should not be too large, otherwise first, if the frontal battlefield cannot be supported, it will be quickly defeated.

Zhang Kewang now urgently needs the officers and men of the Great Western Army on the frontal battlefield to be able to hold back the Qing army and buy him time to break through.

Second, there are too many people to break through, which is easy to cause chaos.

After all, this is the last chance to escape, everyone wants to live, and if it is really chaotic, Zhang Kewang may not be able to suppress it, but it will have the opposite effect.

The best thing to do is to gather the best soldiers and suddenly open the gates and strike a blow.

The Qing army outside the south gate would definitely not have thought that Zhang Kewang would dare to break through at this time, and he still had a chance to succeed by surprise.
