When Dai Zhifan attacked the city wall, the momentum of the Ming army reached its peak, and when he was dragged down from the city by his personal guards, the morale of the Ming army also declined, and finally retreated like a tide.

This siege battle, after nearly an hour and a half, finally ended with the retreat of the Ming army, the Ming army attacked on three sides, nearly 4,000 casualties, nearly 2,000 casualties in the south, the rest is the loss of the east and west, the loss of a battering ram, the loss of nearly 100 siege ladders.

Wuchang City also paid nearly 3,000 casualties, of which Nancheng lost 1,400 people from the Green Battalion and 45 from the Eight Banners.

Whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army, the losses were relatively serious, but Wang Yan and Tong Yanghe both felt that they had taken advantage.

The Qing army repelled the Ming army, and Tong Yanghe thought that it was understandable to achieve victory, but Wang Yan also had Wang Yan's reason, he didn't think that he could break through Wuchang at once, so retreating was nothing, because he had already shown his muscles to the Qing soldiers and let them see the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

He just wanted to tell the Green Battalion soldiers that even if they didn't surrender, the Ming army could still take Wuchang, and that this had already achieved its goal.

In today's battle, Wang Yan did not use all his strength, he was afraid that if he pressed too hard, it would stimulate the combat effectiveness of the Qing army and cause a large number of casualties to the Ming army, and he did not want to get a broken Wuchang.

Although Wuchang was defeated, it was also handed over to He Tengjiao, but strengthening He Tengjiao would do more harm than good to Wang Yan.

In the future, He Tengjiao will be in Wuchang, but he will be able to develop in Hunan with peace of mind, recuperate, and not let his soldiers fight again and again, without respite, and finally become a tired army.

On the upper floor of the south gate of Wuchang, Tong Yanghe saw that the Ming army had retreated to the camp, and he was finally relieved, he believed that after today's battle, the mind of the green camp would be stable, and the next thing was to see if Azig could come to support before the city of Wuchang was broken.

In fact, Yang Wenfu, the general soldier guarding the eastern city, and Sun Dingliao, the governor of Huguang who guarded the western city, did not feel the strong pressure because the Ming army launched a feint attack on these two sides, so they felt that there was great hope for defending Wuchang, so they immediately decided to continue to serve the Qing court.

Yang Wenfu fought to be able to carry the flag, Sun Dingliao surrendered to the Qing court in the Battle of Daling River, and then incorporated into the Eight Banners, so he was very loyal to the Qing court, and now he is trying his best to persuade his Green Battalion generals to serve the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Kaiwen, who was not attacked by the Ming army in the north, saw that the Qing army repelled the attack of the Ming army, and also began to favor Tong Yanghe.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and raising the flag is indeed a clever move in the hands of the Qing court, and it soon gathered the military heart of the green battalion.

It's just that although it is good to carry the flag, you must have a life to live until it is compiled into eight banners, otherwise your own life will not be guaranteed, and you will have to bury the lives of your family, and even the entire clan may be uprooted.

At this time, it is important for people to be promoted to become wealthy, but the continuation of the family and the prosperity of the clan are far more important than the official position. \u000b On the southern city wall, after the Green Battalion cleaned up the battlefield, the corpses of the Ming army were thrown down the city, and the corpses of the Green Battalion were hung up and neatly placed, a full 1,400 people, and nearly 20% of the Wang brothers' men and horses were reimbursed in the first battle.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers rested against the wall, but the three Wang brothers looked at the green battalion soldiers who died in battle with heavy faces.

Wang Chang's face was a little shocked and said: "Today is only half a day of fighting, and so many people have died, if the Ming army attacks every day at any cost, I am afraid that it will not take five days, and our people will die." "\u000b"Yes~" Wang Guangtai nodded, then looked at Wang Guangen and said: "The eldest brother stopped me and the third brother just now, and didn't let us chase and kill Dai Zhifan, I'm afraid I also saw this." \u000bWang Guangen walked to the head of the city, stared at the Ming army camp in the distance, and said with a little worry: "Yes, the Ming army did not try its best to attack the city today, and the naval warships did not participate in the battle, Wang Shiheng just hopes to remind us through this battle not to choose the wrong direction." ”

"Then how should we choose, contact the Ming army to surrender?" Wang Chang said: "However, it is indeed a pity to give up the opportunity to carry the flag!" ”

Wang Chang and Wang Guangtai originally insisted on surrendering, but after knowing that Tong Yanghe was going to lift them, they were also very hesitant in their hearts.

They wanted to surrender to the Ming army at first, mostly because they were not happy in the Qing army, and they were not used to the Eight Banners, so they understood the benefits of the Eight Banners better.

"There's no pity~" Wang Guangen said: "Tong Yanghe is not Wang Shiheng, Wang Shiheng guarded Yangzhou back then, and was supported by 800,000 people in Yangzhou, but even so, half of the 800,000 Yangzhou people died, and among them, more than 30,000 young men died. As long as Wang Shiheng attacks at any cost, Wuchang City will not be able to defend it for a long time. \u000bWang Guangtai said solemnly: "Then the big brother means surrendering?" ”

Wang Guangen nodded and said: "Our family members are all in Wuchang, no better than Tong Yanghe and Sun Dingliao, since they know that they can't hold it, they still fantasize about raising the flag, it is unwise, and the matter of raising the flag is not what Tong Yanghe said, in the end, it still depends on the meaning of the regent." Jin Shengheng did not waste a single soldier in Manchuria, and laid down a large number of prefectures and counties in Jiangxi for the Qing court, and he was overwhelmed by ten thousand yuan, and his merits were much higher than those of our three brothers. ”

When Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang heard this, they couldn't help but nodded, and then hugged their fists and said: "The Qing court really can't believe it, we should also think about our families, we can't take risks, since the eldest brother has decided, then the eldest brother will tell us what to do!" ”

"In today's battle, the Ming army has also seen the strength of our three brothers, and now it is time to surrender to the past, but Tong Yanghe does not trust us, and the city gate is handed over to the Eight Banners and the Governor's Mansion to guard, but there is still some trouble."

"Is the eldest brother worried that if there is a fire, he will lose some brothers?" When Wang Guangtai heard this, his eyes rolled and he said, "Why don't I contact the other green camps and let them contribute." ”

"No!" Wang Guangen waved his hand and said: "Today, our department has suffered the heaviest losses, but the other departments have no losses, they will probably think that the Ming army is nothing more than that, fantasizing that they can hold Wuchang and be incorporated into the Eight Banners, they will not surrender with us at all, but they are very likely to betray us." ”

"Then what should I do, we only have more than 5,000 people left now, and if one or two thousand more die, I'm afraid that if I surrender to the past, I won't even be able to get a general." Wang Chang said with annoyance.

Wang Guangen squinted his eyes and said: "Don't worry, tonight I will send someone out of the city to contact the Ming army, and tomorrow I will freely sacrifice the city." ”
