When the Hong Dynasty attacked the city and fought with the Ming Dynasty army, more soldiers of the Hong Dynasty army followed closely and killed them, and the Ming Dynasty front-line soldiers who had not yet reacted to such an intense battle were caught off guard.

Soon, the Ming army's position at the Beicheng city wall with the ruins and broken walls as the front line was lost, and countless Hongzhou soldiers climbed up from the captured capital positions here, and joined the front line of the front line that was still fiercely fighting with the Ming Dynasty's counterattack army.

The defense line of the city wall of Beicheng fell into the hands of the Hong Dynasty army in the first battle of today's confrontation, which is really uncomfortable for the Ming Dynasty generals who have been accustomed to the Hong Dynasty army coming and leaving and coming again and again for a month or two.

"Send 10,000 soldiers up, even if it is filled with human lives, give Lao Tzu to take back the position before breakfast."

When he heard the news, Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier in charge of this line of defense under Sun Chuanting, widened his eyes and spat at the generals around him.

"The last general commands!"

The general was ordered to go down, and he went to the barracks to bring 10,000 soldiers under the command of Liu Liangzuo, and rushed to the position in the billowing smoke and dust, and fought for this piece of land that was only five or six miles wide, and it was difficult to separate, like a purgatory, while bringing new strength to the fighting position, it also created more unjust souls and dead ghosts.

When Sun Chuanting came out of the prefect's yamen, which was recruited as the camp of the Chinese army, he had already learned of the small setbacks caused by this morning fight.

After listening to the detailed battle report brought back by the herald to the front line of the position, Sun Chuanting was keenly aware that the offensive of the Hong Dynasty army was hidden in it, which made the alarm sound in his heart, so he hurriedly came out of the yamen, wanted to climb the city wall watchtower, and personally observed it carefully.

"Report!"

"On the ruined position in Dongcheng, the Hongchao army also launched a fierce offensive, and the chief soldier defending the city ordered me to ask the superintendent to move, do not approach the battlefield, so as not to be injured by cold arrows."

Before Sun Chuanting could get close to the battlefield and feel the range of the battlefield, he was stopped by the personal guards of Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Dongcheng, and did not let him get close to the battlefield.

In the end, Sun Chuanting was not able to forcibly approach the battlefield of the battle, so as not to make the general soldiers defending the city more worried, so he had to go to the southern city wall, so that he could spy on the scene of the attack of the Hong Dynasty army.

Two-front battles have always been extremely rare in the siege of the Hong Dynasty, and in the more than two months that Xiangyang City was besieged, the commander of the Hong Dynasty army only formulated a siege plan in this way, but only five or six times.

The more the army moved the people, the more Sun Chuanting felt that the siege of the Hong Dynasty army this time was not a child's play, and it also made him more cautious.

Until noon, the whole battle lasted for four or five hours, and the battle between the enemy and us did not stop, and the Ming Dynasty army still failed to recapture the position of the Beicheng city wall, even if in this morning, their Ming army lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and the Hong Dynasty army lost nearly 5,000 soldiers.

Liu Liangzuo's general army had to admit that the siege of the Hong Dynasty army this time did allow them to gain a foothold in Beicheng, and then they might be able to use this as a springboard, so that more soldiers of the Hong Dynasty army could pass through and continue to enter Xiangyang City.

What was even more unfavorable was the battle between the Dongcheng city wall and Er, which finally ended with the Hong Dynasty army occupying the position, and the Ming Dynasty army had to retreat dozens of zhang away and enter the second line of positions that had been built long ago.

Among them, it was the hundreds of brave men of the half battalion who were suddenly separated from the fighting soldiers of the Hongchao army in Beicheng, who launched a surprise attack from the flank and rear of the Ming soldiers on the eastern front, and immediately broke the position that the Ming army had struggled to maintain at any cost, and then occupied the front-line position of the Hongchao army.

At this point, the soldiers on both sides have temporarily ceased to dwell, licking their wounds sadly in front of the position to prepare for the next big battle.

"My lord, why don't you allow me to send another soldier up to recapture the position I lost from me?"

When Liu Liangzuo arrived at the prefect's yamen, his face was still full of unwillingness, and he complained.

"The offensive of the Red View Army this time is somewhat unexpected, and the Governor doesn't want to let the soldiers at the bottom make senseless sacrifices."

"Even if you are given another day, if you want to regain the position this time, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for the Governor!"

Sun Chuanting didn't care about Liu Liangzuo's rude tone, but his tolerance for this commander was extremely high.

"Ahem, ahem! Ahem, ahem! ”

seemed to have said too much at once, Sun Chuanting couldn't help coughing again, and it wasn't until the guards around him brought a bowl of warm water that he gradually eased up.

During this period of time, all the generals under Sun Chuanting's command looked at the old man with concerned eyes.

Subsequently, Sun Chuanting continued to arrange the troops, "This governor observed from the Nancheng Wanglou that the troops used by the Hong Dynasty army this time were 30,000, so for the loss of this position, the blame is not on the generals, it can only be said that the other party's strength is superior." ”

"Although the two lines of positions where the city wall was destroyed were lost, we have built the second line of defense in the residential areas of the city, and we must not be taken advantage of by the enemy like today, so generals, put away the slackness of these days, and prepare for the next battle."

"The army of the Hong Dynasty has finally gained a foothold in the city and established a position, and it will inevitably launch a battle to seize the city immediately afterwards, and when the time comes, it will be even more ferocious and the battle may happen at any time."

"Wow!!"

"The subordinates will not dare to insult the mission!!"

A group of generals replied in a deep voice, making a gesture of vowing to die without regrets.

After a more detailed layout, the generals of the general army took orders one after another, and finally Sun Chuanting was left alone in the yamen, frowning and looking at the map on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Sun Chuanting's body shook for a while, and his face suddenly turned pale, causing him to quickly reach out to assist the tabletop, and it took a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief.

The aging of the body was beyond Sun Chuanting's expectations, Sun Chuanting, who was already sixty-four years old, was still fighting on the front line of the battlefield, carrying heavy pressure, and it was unimaginable for him to destroy others physically and mentally.

But he can't help but continue to insist, the Ming Dynasty is stormy, as a real scholar, Sun Chuanting's only belief in his heart is to be able to suppress all the enemies of life and death in the Ming Dynasty in his lifetime, and return a complete Ming Dynasty to China.

This is worthy of the painstaking cultivation of his Sun Chuanting by the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and it can be regarded as his Sun Chuanting having fulfilled his duty as a courtier.
