On the seventh night of November in the 22nd year of Chongzhen, the capital of the Qing Dynasty fell, and 30,000 Hongtang soldiers entered the city and launched more fierce hand-to-hand combat and street battles with the Qing Dynasty's remaining soldiers.

It was a matter of time before the southern city wall was breached, but in the face of the standing city wall, the offensive of the Hongtang army during the day has proved one point, that is, the Qing people occupy the advantage of city defense, and the destruction of the Hongtang army by defending the city is still powerful.

Since the city wall is already crumbling, if you try harder, you should be able to make this wall that was blocking the Hongtang army collapse!

Fortunately, the materials of the Hongtang army were sufficient, and during the daytime attack, in addition to sending the army to climb the city with real knives and guns, Shang Kexi also had a secret hand, that is, to send a team of engineers to carry a large amount of gunpowder, disguised as a dead siege soldier to fall under the city wall, wait until the night is getting dark, and then begin to slowly gather under the city, and finally find a place where the city defense is severely damaged for blasting.

Sure enough, I don't know how much gunpowder the sappers used, and a blast under the city suddenly made the wall of the southern city of Shengjing City break through six or seven zhang and other gaps.

The Hongtang soldiers who were waiting for the opportunity to attack, as early as the moment when the blasting sound had just fallen, the vanguard troops launched their company charge in the night, and rushed towards the smoke-shrouded place of the city wall.

The Jurchens in the city were also stunned, and thought that when it was dark, everyone should also stop and recharge for tomorrow's war.

But I didn't think that this Hongtang army just went back for dinner, and then launched an offensive again, and this one had been planned for a long time, and the foreshadowing was laid from the time of the daytime battle, until this time, it finally sent out a thunderous sound that turned the tide.

"Plug it up! The Han army must not be allowed to enter the city through the gap!! ”

"Hurry up, move for Lao Tzu, don't play dead on the ground anymore!!"

Outside the city, the Hongtang army moved quickly, and the Qing defenders, who had the geographical advantage, were also stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, and the grassroots leaders pushed and scolded the soldiers who were in a trance, and gathered towards the collapse of the city wall, vowing to block the Hongtang army at this gap.

"Your Royal Highness, please move to the palace, we are here to guard it!"

In the Qing Dynasty, Shengjing Ang Bangzhang Jing Bayan did not panic at the time of danger, and he first asked the two princes sitting in Shengjing to move to the rear of the palace, and at the same time, Hai did not forget to give orders to his soldiers and mobilize the whole army to prepare for battle.

"Don't look at my crippled body, but if the Han people really come to kill in front of me, I can still kill for a few rounds, General Bayan doesn't care about us two old guys, what should you do!"

The collapse of Shengjing South City and others was actually expected by Daishan and them for a long time, but what they didn't expect was that the wall of Shengjing City, which had stood for more than half a month, was now exposed under the attack of the other party on the first day of the real siege of the city, which still surprised the two princes of Daishan and Jierharang.

"Then Weichen will take his leave!"

At the time of the war, since Dai Shan and the others were not worried about their safety, then he Bayan had already fulfilled his responsibilities as a courtier, and he did not stop at leading an army that had just been organized to kill the fiercest place in the south of the city.

"Resist, resist Lao Tzu!"

At the gap in the south of the city, a large number of Qing Dynasty soldiers were led by the generals to engage in a fierce confrontation with the Hongtang army outside the city.

Zhang Dayou, a disciple of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, was a general of the Ming Dynasty, since the capture and surrender of the Northern Qing Dynasty in the Liaodong War, he made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty all the way, and was good at using firearms by himself, after experiencing the powerful artillery of the Hongtang army in the Qing Dynasty, he was reused by the Qing Dynasty, and now he is the title of the third class of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the status of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty is still low, although the Qing Dynasty has gradually promoted Han ministers to increase their power and status, but it has really swept to the time of life and death like now, most of the Qing generals who stayed behind were their Han generals.

However, Zhang Dayou also understands the situation he is facing at this time, as a Han Chinese, he can be in a high position, and the hands of these Han generals of the Qing Dynasty are already covered with the blood of the Han people, even if they want to surrender, it is not an easy thing.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty did not do too much, or in order to let the Han generals who stayed behind fight desperately, they also took away the families of the Han generals when they retreated, which was considered to give them peace of mind.

But this is not Zhang Dayou, these Han generals, if they are in battle or ineffective in battle, then their retreating families will not have a good time in the future.

As for whether he can see his relatives in the end, Zhang Dayou has long stopped fantasizing in his heart, but even for the sake of his relatives, Zhang Dayou has to stop the Hongtang army under Shengjing City, at least to buy more time for the retreating relatives.

During the fierce battle, Zhang Dayou also had distracted movements, which was a mistake that he would never have made in the past, but at this moment, Zhang Dayou made a mistake because of various factors.

"Humph!"

Zhang Dayou, who was standing on the high platform, only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his strength passed little by little with this injury. When Zhang Dayou slowly lowered his head and looked at the source of the pain in his abdomen, he only saw that he was wearing armor, and he didn't know when a big hole appeared, and a pool of blood was flowing down drop by drop.

"General! Checkmate! ”

"Protect the General!"

Zhang Dayou's personal guards soon discovered Zhang Dayou's problem, and they all stepped forward to help him down from a high place and hide in the ruins of the city wall.

"I really want to go back to my hometown to see, I really want to see the hairy little girl at home again......"

Zhang Dayou's eyelids were heavy, and he slowly closed, and his breathing gradually became inaudible until he stopped moving.

"General!!

"General!!

A group of guards hurriedly took off Zhang Dayou's armor and stopped the bleeding from the wound, but in the end, they could only see Zhang Dayou breathing in a burst of grief.

The deputy flag owner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, the third-class Jingqi Nihafan, like other ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, died on a stray bullet that the Hongtang army did not regard him as a target.

The battle line at the gap was originally Zhang Dayou commanding and dispatching, but now with the sound of his personal guards screaming sadly, the Qing soldiers on the entire front gradually began to waver.
