On the other side of the Wujiang River, opposite the south gate of Jinhua Mansion, in the night, the torches are all over the mountains, the Qing army attacked the city overnight, the people captured around kept pushing the siege equipment to the other side of the river, the Ming army surrendered troops to the city wall one by one, and then was killed by the primitive weapons of rolling wood and stones, hot oil, and killed.

The Han army banner, Li Chengdong's Ming troops, lined up on the bank of the river, waiting for the order to attack.

On a hillside, some of the main generals of the Qing army, Baylor, Bolo and the Qing army, as well as the generals of the Ming army, were all concentrated here, looking at the direction of Jinhuafu City.

After a while, Bolo said to a general of the Ming army: "You will lead the men and horses of your headquarters to attack from behind the city, and you are not allowed to stop the attack without a military order." ”

The general of the Ming army took the order with trembling trembling and shouted, "Chirp".

Bo Luo said to Ruan Dacheng: "Have you found out the movement of the Ming army in the city?" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "Back to the master, two hours ago, the Ming army was demolishing houses in the city, and it is estimated that there is not enough rolling wood and stone. In addition, I heard that the government and county government issued a summoning order to let the Ming Dynasty people in the city who were hiding from our army join the rebels. ”

A Qing soldier Ezhen Zhangjing sneered: "The battle of trapped beasts, when the city is broken, in an instant, let them become lambs without herdsmen and hounds. ”

"Hahaha," the Qing generals laughed arrogantly, and their eyes squinted at those Ming generals from time to time.

Bolo's face was also smug.

Although he besieged Jinhua Mansion for more than a month, he did not break through Jinhua Mansion, so that his prestige in the Qing army was discredited.

But today he saw so many cannons coming, thinking about the past when so many fortified cities in the Ming Dynasty were bombarded by cannons, and then the Ming army ran around like sheep, and the Qing army chased them and slaughtered them wantonly, that kind of pleasure instantly made him full of confidence.

He raised his horsewhip and pointed to the city of Jinhua Mansion and said: "Take Jinhua, the whole army will not seal the sword for three days, and will not gather generals!" ”

"Long live, long live, long live" The generals of the Qing army straightened their waists and shouted loudly with their weapons held high on their horses.

Their shouts led the Han army flag and the Ming army to surrender and shout loudly together.

Bolo was very happy and said with a smile: "The military heart is available, and the destruction of the Ming Court is just around the corner." ”

Ruan Dacheng and Li Chengdong immediately intersected: "Lord Beile is mighty, the Qing Dynasty is mighty, I am the Qing Dynasty for thousands of generations, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Hahaha," Bolo laughed.

And in the city of Jinhua, on the city wall.

The family members and government officials organized by the squires and the rebel soldiers organized by the county government all went up to reinforce them, and fought to the death with the new annexed troops of the Qing army who had jumped on the city wall, as well as the people of Jinhua Mansion who were captured around them, as well as some of the Qing army's clothed minions.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, the sound of swords clashing, each one was clearer and louder, and the blood and corpses soon flooded the city walls, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting as if they were fighting on the banks of the river, with either ankle-deep blood under their feet or stumbling corpses.

Both sides were the people of the Ming Dynasty, but at this moment, each was its own master and killed each other.

Under the city wall, the healthy women in the city carried the wounded down one by one, the old people were boiling hot oil on the side, and the children were holding bundles of firewood and adding them to the bottom of the stove, with godless eyes and mechanical movements, and even some seven or eight-year-old girls were busy behind the adults while pinching their fingers, helping the adults to hold things, pick up fallen firewood, and move bricks.

A hundred paces away from the wall, a new wall was taking shape, and although it was not as strong and solid as the outer wall, and thin, it was also growing in height and widening at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Behind the city walls, the houses collapsed at the shouts of the people, and then the young men led women, children, and the elderly to carry bricks, wood, and even pick up soil, and behind the city walls built hills the size of hills.

The hills are linked, and in the middle are blocked by furniture and wooden benches, trees.

Zhang Qiang's idea is taking shape.

In the southeast corner, in the barracks, Zhang Qiang looked at the five hundred rebel gunners who had gathered to shoot muskets, where all the guns of the rebels were concentrated, as well as muskets and artillery collected from Zhu's mansion and the county government.

There are a total of twelve Franc machine cannons, tiger squat cannons, and tiger squat cannons collected from the warehouse, not to mention the quality, at least they can be used.

It's too late to train them, but it's enough to organize them, arrange officers, customize some basic flags, drum sounds, and make them understand.

These officers are all veterans of the Ming army who have survived repeated battles, about twenty, and some squires are all selected, all of them are criminals who have killed people or been robbers and bandits, and the squires have subdued these people for the sake of the common people, but what they can do at present is to obey the orders of the government and Zhu Daxue and send these people to Zhang Qiang as officers.

Although the character is inferior, when it comes to leadership experience, they still have some, whether it is coercion, beating and scolding, or other methods, Zhang Qiang doesn't care, at present, as long as they can control the rabble of the general young and strong, just do it.

After an hour of continuous drilling, there was about a thirty percent chance, and when these people would not shoot without obeying the order, Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, and led them out of the barracks to the second city wall in the southwest corner.

When they got to the city wall, it was almost finished, rough and unadorned, and in some places, some brave people could climb it with their bare hands.

But there is no way to do this, time is pressing.

The wall in the southwest section had collapsed by a corner, but fortunately it did not collapse completely, otherwise the Qing army would have rushed in.

NPC Zhu Dadian is already waiting here, he took the fifty personal servants of the house, this is his most elite strength, and it is also the last strength, and the rebel soldiers and family members under his control have been thrown into the fight on other city walls.

NPC Zhu Dadian saw Zhang Qiang and hurriedly came up to salute, "Your Majesty, I have recruited five thousand righteous soldiers and civilians with the squires again, and they are gathering in the back." ”

Zhang Qiang's face was grim, although there were five thousand more people, but the combat effectiveness of these five thousand people, needless to say, was also very unbearable, and waved his hand, "Let them build the city wall in the back while waiting for the order, as soon as the order arrives, immediately enter the battle, convey your order to those squires, let them send their family members to watch over those newly recruited soldiers, form a group and wait for the order, if there is a mutiny, do not need to ask for instructions, immediately kill." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

Zhang Qiang looked at the city wall, his heart was dripping blood, but he had no choice, Ci was not in charge of the army, if he didn't sacrifice some Jinhua people, how could he save the whole city from being slaughtered by the Qing army, he didn't want to see such a result, but he was in a hurry and had to do it.
