The clouds in the city were gloomy, Zhang Qiang also frowned, and he was terrified in his heart, and outside the city, the shock of the enemy was even greater.

Coupled with the losses of the soldiers who attacked the city walls in other places, the Qing army killed 5,000 people captured by the Qing army, 3,000 dead and wounded, more than 1,000 casualties, more than 700 missing, more than 1,800 dead and more than 300 casualties in the Han army banner, more than 300 dead in the Jurchen Eight Banners, almost a Niulu soldier, three cannon bombs, 50 dead and wounded Han army flag artillery, and dozens of barrels of gunpowder were used, but such an ending was obtained.

After nearly a month of siege, more than 10,000 people died in the Ming army, more than 3,000 people died in the Han army banner, and more than 700 people died in the Eight Banners, which really made Bolo want to go wild, and the resistance of the Ming army in other places became stronger and stronger, and Dolgon had repeatedly ordered him to march into Fujian, eliminate the Zheng army, and destroy the Longwu Dynasty.

However, he was stuck here, which made him feel that his position was threatened, and he successively slashed and killed a number of leading generals under the Ming army who were responsible for attacking Jinhua, and also killed a Niu Lu Zhangjing.

The word "Zhangjing" is a transliteration of the Manchu word "janggin", which in turn comes from the Chinese word for "general". [1] In the later Jin Dynasty, the military position was named after Ezhen, and in the eighth year of Tiancong (1634) of Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated that except for Gushan Ezhen, all of them were called "Zhangjing". The military attache of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty regardless of the position of the lord or not, all the officials who have duties are called "Zhang Jing". The "Zhangjing" in the Eight Banners of Manchuria from high to low are Angbang Zhangjing (equivalent to the general army of the Ming Dynasty), Meile Zhangjing (equivalent to the deputy general), Jiala Zhangjing (equivalent to the general) and Niulu Zhangjing (equivalent to the reserve official), which are the four most basic Zhangjing. In addition, it also set up Xuzhangjing and Jialazhangjing in Bayala Camp, and set up Qizhangjing, Meilin Zhangjing, Sumu Zhangjing, and Zhalan Zhangjing in the Eight Banners of Mongolia. In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), Kabush Xianzhangjing was set up on the left and right wings of the Eight Banners (under the jurisdiction of Kabush Xian Kalayi Angbang).

All the generals were afraid of his coercion, and did not dare to say more.

Ruan Dacheng and Li Chengdong glanced at each other, Li Chengdong lowered his head, trembling, and didn't dare to speak.

Ruan Dacheng glanced up at Bolo, walked out sideways, bowed and said: "Lord Belle is angry, I think the reason why Jinhua Mansion resists so fiercely is that Zhu Dadian is too prestigious, why don't we push those captured villagers to the front of the battle and let them shout, many of the villagers are Jinhua County squires, or have relatives who have something to do with it, so that they can shake the hearts of the people in the city, if Zhu Dadian doesn't care about the people's reputation and ignores the requests of the squires in the city, his prestige will inevitably plummet, without the cooperation of the squires in the city, the soldiers he controls will be reduced, Or a great reduction in fighting spirit, which can make our attack a little smoother. ”

A Mongolian Eight Banners Zhang Jing was not convinced by Ruan Dacheng, snorted, and said: "The carving insect is a small skill, and the yin man behind him is not a hero." ”

A Jia Lazhangjing was also very dissatisfied and said, "If it weren't for you, we would have captured Jinhua a long time ago, the benevolence of the woman, we have lost our troops and lost the general, Baylor, this person should be killed, now the city is about to be broken, the city wall has been blown down, I am willing to lead the headquarters of Niu Lu, rush again, please General Li's Han army flag behind me, before dawn, I will definitely take Zhu Dadian's dog head, and avenge my loss of the Qing warriors." ”

Li Chengdong said: "Master Zhangjing, I think we should let those villagers and the new annexed army take the lead, our Han army flag follows, the master and the Jurchen warriors only need to follow behind, the premise is that the cannon of the Han army flag blows up the city wall again, this time I will personally lead the army to capture Jinhua Mansion." ”

Boluo's gloomy gaze swept over everyone, "Okay, Ruan Dacheng, you take the new annex army to attack the West Gate, and at the same time contact the squires in the city who are willing to surrender, the inside and the outside, the tea clip, you lead the army, attack the enemy's city wall, Li Chengdong, you take the Han army flag and the new annex army to take the government directly, at dawn, you must take Jinhua, I don't have time to wait for you." ”

Half an hour later, the Qing army again bombarded the city wall with heavy artillery fire, and the main place was the southwest corner of the city wall, which had been blown down.

Zhang Qiang took a hundred musketeers who had already experienced a battle on the city wall, these were all veterans of the Ming army, and they still had a certain degree of combat effectiveness and discipline, and he also brought fifty soldiers from You Haibo, Hu Kui, and Xuanyuan Longfei who had survived the previous tragic battle, as well as the sixteen volunteer soldiers he brought with him, to build a breastwork behind the gap in the city wall.

This is a technique he learned from the time-traveling novels.

The breastwork is semicircular in shape, enclosing the gap in the wall of the bombed tower.

The breastwork was divided into three lanes, the first was the longest, the second thirty steps back, divided into two, slightly shorter, leaving gaps in the middle and sides, and once the first line was lost, the musketeers could retreat to the second line of defense.

The third is higher, divided into four sections, with many gaps in the middle, and this direction can quickly retreat into the second gate, which is ten paces away.

Hu Kui and Xuanyuan Longfei have been injured, the troops have been disabled, the two of them can only go to a safer place in the city to do some things, Zhang Qiang has only Zhou Congee Zhou alone available, You Haibo has to defend the first city wall, after resting, go to the city wall again, he is a Jinhua person, and he also has a friendship with those original rebel generals, and he can easily mingle with them, which is much better than Zhang Qiang directly commanding them.

The prefect died, the magistrate fled, the squires swayed left and right, and the person who could preside over Jinhua Mansion was the Zhu Dadian who initiated the resistance and gathered the righteous army, although he was not the Zhu Dadian in history, but the NPC Zhu Dadian, but this Zhu Dadian was more knowledgeable and powerful than the Zhu Dadian in history, and the battles he fought in the game world were much more than the battles fought by pure civilian officials such as Zhu Dadian in history.

What Zhang Qiang can do is to delay as long as possible.

Wait for history to change.

Wait for the enemy to divide his forces.

When he was repairing on his chest, he finally waited for the enemy's attack, and at this time, someone ran to Zhang Qiang's side, "My lord, the west gate was opened by the rebels of the squires, and Lord Zhu led the family and the rebels to fight the enemy, and he asked to send troops." ”

"These bastards." Zhang Qiang smashed his fist on the chest wall of the newly repaired fourth section.

"Order, Zhou Congee Zhou took 800 soldiers to suppress the rebellion, recapture the West Gate, and must hold the West Gate, and at the same time ordered the officials who supervised the county government and the defense project to speed up the progress, close all the roads leading to the West Gate, set up more obstacles, and if necessary, they could tear down the houses of the entire street, and hold Jinhua at all costs."

Zhang Qiang shouted to the family who asked for instructions.

"Yes, sir."

The family immediately ran away and went with a few attachés, all of whom rode horses, and there were about seventy or eighty such men in the city, and there was no need for cavalry to fight in the city, and they could only be used as heralds.

Zhang Qiang glanced at it and felt that he was still not at ease, he beckoned, and a family member who followed him came up, Zhang Qiang said, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the villain Wei Wuji, who was previously the small banner of the Jinhua Guard, the herald of the hundred households."

"Well, I promoted you to the general banner of 100 households, with five of my guards, and the warrant of my deputy commander of the rebel army to inspect the east gate and the west gate, collect people along the road, how many people you can gather, it depends on your ability, once the east gate changes, you escort Hu Kui and they retreat to the county government, and gather the people to cut off the road from the east gate to the county government and the government office, leaving a passage to withdraw from here to the Zhu Mansion, if the other places are not in a hurry, go to the north gate to guard, take over the soldiers where, you must resist me, you can't do anything, you can withdraw to the Zhu Mansion, defend the Zhu Mansion, and at the same time repair the fortifications of the Zhu Mansion. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Qiang grimaced, nodded, and said coldly: "Go!" ”
