In fact, not only Yang Qing has no bottom psychology, but Li Zicheng is also the same.

Yuan Zongdi couldn't lie to him.

Even if Yuan Zongdi deceived him, the Shun army who participated in the war would not lie to him, those infantry were the new army he personally trained in Beijing, all of them were his most trusted subordinates, and they were specially transferred to Yuan Zongdi's command in order to kill Yang Qingcai, and these people described the scene to him as him.

Li Zicheng was also confused.

In addition, although he was indeed able to occupy an absolute advantage on the battlefield, these advantages did not bring him a new momentum after the initial large-scale surrender of the Ming army, on the contrary, whether in Xuyi, Hefei or Wuchang, they all fell into a bitter battle. Especially the main attack of Xuyi, Gao Yigong has suffered more than 20,000 casualties so far, but he has never been able to overcome it, and even if he collapsed the city wall and rushed in, he could be forced out by the infantry of the Beijing camp.

The two sides completely fought under Xuyi City into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

But there is still no hope of overcoming.

And Wuchang.

The same is true there.

Even Tian Jianxiu, who supervised the battle on the front line, was injured under the bombardment of the invincible general cannon of Shenwei, the ultra-long range of this thing made Wuchang dare not show the handsome flag within two miles of Wuchang, at present, Liu Fangliang is in Wuchang instead of Tian Jianxiu command, and Jin Shenghuan is blocking the reinforcements of the Ming army in the upstream, Zhang Mingzhen's sailor in the upstream is still storming Jinkou, and Ma Jinzhong is also constantly attacking in Jingzhou.

Li Zicheng suffered setbacks on all fronts.

The only one who succeeded in breaking through was Yuan Zongdi, but Yuan Zongdi was beaten back by Yang Qing in this way that can be said to be weird, and now Li Zicheng is also very confused, and he doesn't know his prospects, after all, someone above him is still too scary, and he can't figure out whether Yang Qing is protected by a god or something else. But it is impossible for him to admit defeat, he has already reached the door of victory, and there is only a threshold left in front of him, is he giving up just because of this? As a hero who dominates the world, it is too much to underestimate his courage.

In this case, Yang Qing's proposal helped him make the final decision, after all, he didn't have to worry about anything unknown.

Yang Qing is famous.

If this gambling method finally decides his victory, then Yang Qing's surrender means that he is truly destined to return, and from then on this Ming Dynasty is his, if he loses, he will not lose much, he is still the master of the north, in this case, why not gamble?

And Li Zicheng was really afraid that Yang Qing would play fish with him and break the net.

He really couldn't stop Yang Qing's assassination.

This guy's elusive methods make it unsafe for him to protect no matter where he hides, no matter how many people he has under him, and it is Yang Qing's face-to-face battle in the Water Pavilion, if Yang Qing plays another way to really assassinate him, he will almost definitely die. Although he also said that Yang Qing killed him and his subordinates killed Kun Xing, this was just a verbal threat, even if he was still dead, what was the point to him? If Yang Qing really has someone on it, then I am afraid that he will not have a good result when he dies, although Li Zicheng does not believe in any religion, but he still believes that people die and become ghosts and return to the underworld, if he really has to be killed by a guy blessed by a god, and then throw the eighteenth layer of hell, it will be over.

So this kind of gentleman's battle is more cost-effective.

He didn't have to worry about anything.

As for breaking through Yangzhou in a month......

He's got a cannon.

Li Zicheng's cannon is indeed powerful.

It is said that the scene of more than 100 Hongyi cannons bombarding Yangzhou is that Yang Qingdu is breathtaking.

Because the field battle outside the city is meaningless, even if Yang Qing's whole army is dispatched, it will not be able to withstand Li Zicheng's nearly six-fold superiority in strength, and almost all of Li Zicheng's subordinates are the main force of the Shun army, and a large number of people who fought side by side with Yang Qing in Shanhaiguan are there. For example, Ma Bao was already the chief soldier at this time, that is, Li Laiheng was stationed in Ningyuan and did not come, and the remaining Hao Shaoqi and other fierce generals all arrived, whether it was Yang Qing or Huang Fei, they were very clear about the result of facing the battle outside the city, that is, they were overwhelmed by these guys, so they simply shrank back to Yangzhou City to play behind closed doors.

Then Li Zicheng completed the deployment in two days.

On the third day, he set up heavy artillery outside the city of Yangzhou.

As in the original history, when the Qing army attacked Yangzhou, these cannons were all erected on a mound in the west of the city, and Shi Kefa did not clean up much in the original history because there were some officials' ancestral graves, but Li Zicheng would not care about this, the trees on the entire mound were cut down, and his artillery group was cleared and fired, and then nearly 130 heavy artillery bombarded Tongsimen. The smoke from the cannon made the small hill completely enveloped, and it looked as if the entire hill was burning, and hundreds of whistling shells every minute hit a section of the city wall 20 zhang wide near Tongsi Gate under the dumbfounded gaze of the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou. Even the brick-covered city wall was meaningless in such a blow, and it only took half a day to collapse this section of the city wall, and then the Shun army, who had been waiting for a long time, braved the artillery fire on the city wall to quickly fill this moat and rush in......

But it didn't go in.

Because they were greeted with an explosion that sounded like the sky was shattering.

Yang Qing planted mines in the city.

Giant, to be precise, is actually a small underground powder magazine of super mines, rushed into the city of the hundreds of Shun army forwards were instantly wiped out by the explosion of the collapse of the earth, and left a six-meter-deep funnel-shaped pit in the city, and then hundreds of Shun troops because of the smoke of gunpowder could not see clearly and all rushed into this big pit, before they could climb out of their heads countless grenades fell.

Then the pit was filled with water.

There is no shortage of water in the city of Yangzhou, as long as there is a depression in this place, it will be filled immediately.

The first round of the offensive failed.

On the fourth day, Li Zicheng blasted open the second gap.

But what was waiting for the city was an explosion that looked like the sky was shattering......

This tactic is ineffective.

How many gaps he opened Yang Qing made in the city how many such ponds, there is enough gunpowder in Yangzhou City, the most important thing in the Ming Ministry of Industry this year is to make gunpowder, Yangzhou City also has enough area, after his personal calculation of the explosion design, such a blasting can be easily completed, and then Yangzhou's extensive water network can bring him enough water supply, and finally Li Zicheng collapsed the city wall but had to face five or six meters of water in the city.

He couldn't get in.

All that's left is to storm.

On the fifth day, the Shun army attacked on all fronts from the northwest and two directions.

More than 200,000 Shun troops carried flying ladders and pushed cloud ladders forward, stepping through the filled moat and ants attached to the city, but the result was meaningless, just leaving nearly 10,000 dead bodies in vain......

On the city walls were more than 50,000 soldiers who had become fanatical because of miracles.

This is all Yang Qing's fanatical believers.

Not to mention those Jingying and Iron Cavalry who participated in the last battle, even Huang Fei's subordinates also have thousands of Yang Qingfaniac believers with the most old qualifications, although the others have not fought with Yang Qing, most of them have seen how he rained shells in front of Shanhaiguan but was unscathed.

At this moment, Yang Qing personally leads, and it is absolutely unified.

Not to mention that they also have countless artillery.

They also have mountains of all sorts of supplies.

Heavy rain on the sixth day.

It seems that Li Zicheng, who has been helped by God, ordered a strong attack again, but the result is also meaningless, even if the firearms cannot be used, the ants attached to the city in the heavy rain are all shot down by thousands of steel crossbows on the city wall, ordinary bows and crossbows can not be used for a long time in the heavy rain, because the blisters of pigskin glue will be soft, but the crossbows with steel sheets and brown strings do not need to consider this at all, and the Shun army, which generally uses composite bows and crossbows, cannot shoot at all with the steel crossbows on the city wall in the rain.

The ants in the rain still failed to attack the city.

From the seventh day, Li Zicheng simply took turns to attack day and night with the absolute superiority of troops, and withdrew his artillery to the north of the city to concentrate on bombarding the female wall of Zhenhuai Gate, so as to kill and injure the soldiers defending behind, and cover his own infantry to continue the strong attack regardless of accidental injuries.

But the result was still useless, because Yang Qing piled countless sandbags on the city wall.

Although the solid bullets shattered the women's wall, the sandbags behind the women's wall prevented the broken bricks from hurting the soldiers defending the city, and even the cannonballs behind the women's wall could not penetrate these heavy sacks of one hundred catties. In other words, even the tanks of World War II still like to pile this kind of thing, not to mention that Yang Qing also piled two sandbags behind the female wall, Yangzhou as a salt and grain transfer hub that sacks are not yet there, in fact, in the subsequent attack of the Shun army, many soldiers defending the city carried out sandbags and smashed them from top to bottom.

A sandbag sweeps a ladder.

The effect is better than stones that bounce up easily.

Later, Yang Qing found that it was easy to pile up the ground below, so he hurriedly stopped it.

Such an offensive lasted three days.

Or three days and three nights.

By the tenth day, the Shun army's offensive finally stopped.

Obviously, Li Zicheng can't stand it anymore.

Ten days of attack made him die more than 30,000 people in battle alone, although he has nearly 300,000, but 30,000 is still a terrifying number, this is a battle death, counting the wounded have already lost one-fifth, and I am afraid that his subordinates will not do it for ten days like this. This Yangzhou was like a monster, devouring the lives of his men all the time, on the contrary, the losses of the defenders were not worth mentioning at all, the strength of the defense was not weakened in the slightest, and many of his cannons had been scrapped after ten days of use.

At this time, the barrel life is several hundred rounds.

Although it can be reforged, it is clear that it is not possible on the battlefield.

I can't beat Yangzhou in a month.

Li Zicheng is the loser in this gamble.

He now needs to face a choice, whether to break the agreement and continue to attack on all fronts in order to achieve a breakthrough in a certain direction, or simply admit defeat and choose to negotiate with Yang Qing?

It's a real headache!

But what Li Zicheng didn't know was that someone was already helping him make a choice, not only to help him make a choice, but even to some extent to determine his fate, making his glory just like the original history, a meteor across the sky...... (https:)
