A sound of gold sounded, and after the Zheng army had killed and wounded thousands of people, it retreated like a tide, and the two-meter-wide opening on the city wall did not allow the Zheng army to attack the city.

With a width of two meters and a dozen sword and shield hands, it can be easily blocked, although Zheng Jun's attack was extremely threatening, and he once landed in the city and occupied a large part of the city wall, but he was still driven down the city by the Qing soldiers.

However, although the Ming army failed, this time the bombing of the city, the loud noise, and the openings left on the city wall really scared Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjia into a cold sweat.

The Qing soldiers in the city were also terrified, although the opening in the city wall was very small, but that already showed that Zhangzhou was no longer an impregnable city. From the fact that the Zheng army almost broke through Weng City at one time, it can be seen that the military spirit of the Qing army began to waver.

Li Chengdong, who was frightened, no longer dared to be careless, he knew that the Ming army's firearms were powerful, and this time it didn't work, and it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be blown up again, so he ordered the Qing soldiers to strictly guard each other, not to be careless, and he himself had to lie on the vat and listen to it several times a day.

The strategy of bombing the city in the tunnel was offered by Li Guo, and his inspiration came from when Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he dug a big hole in the city wall of Kaifeng, buried a considerable amount of gunpowder, and then detonated it.

This time, the Ming army improved the blasting method, and after burying the explosives, it not only filled the soil, but also compacted it to ensure that the gas was sealed and the explosion was blasted in a directional manner, but they did not expect that it would only blow up two meters.

After several days of siege, the Ming army has killed thousands of soldiers, and basically all the tactics that the Ming army can use have been used, which makes Wang Yan a little discouraged.

On the 17th, after repeated setbacks, Wang Yan had to order a suspension of the siege and gather the generals' staff to discuss whether it was time to adjust the strategy.

In the city, Li Chengdong saw that the Ming army had stopped attacking the city, with a hint of happiness in his heart, thinking that it could be regarded as letting Wang Yan see his strength, so he ordered all departments to continue and stick to their posts, while he patiently waited for the arrival of Wang Yan's envoy.

In his opinion, Wang Yan stormed Zhangzhou, so he should naturally re-propose conditions with him.

In the tent of the Ming army commander, Li Guo was the first to speak, "The casualties of the assault are too great, and it is recommended to continue to dig tunnels to bomb the city." Although it was only two meters open this time, it at least proved that the city could be blown up, and it was suggested that the city gate could be blown up this time! "\u000b"No, not to mention that the Qing army must have dug a horizontal tunnel under the city to guard the rabbit, just say that this city gate has exploded, and it is useless," Zheng Chenggong got up and said: "Yesterday, our soldiers hit the city gate with a battering ram, and they couldn't hit it at all, obviously they have been sealed by the Qing soldiers with stone bars, and even if it is exploded, there is Weng City, and if you rush in, you will be shot by bows and arrows from all sides." ”

Liu Shun listened to everyone's discussions, "According to this, this Li Chengdong has really become an iron king?" Guogong, tomorrow let the last general attack again, the fortifications on the north city have been almost cut by the cannons, and most of the walls have been blown up, and now there is an opening of nearly seven or eight feet. ”

When the generals heard this, they had no other strategies to take action, so they nodded one after another.

The battle is so difficult to fight, the best way is to wait for the city to run out of food, but the Ming army tens of thousands of horses can not keep being so exhausted, in case there are Qing troops in the south of the Yangtze River, it will not be a failure. \u000bWang Yan listened carefully, and saw that most of the generals supported Liu Shun's suggestion, and agreed to attack the gap again tomorrow, "Since everyone means this, then attack again tomorrow." ”

Wang Yan said that, waved his hand, signaled everyone to disperse, and the generals rushed out, and then each returned to the camp tent to prepare for the siege of the city tomorrow.

In the city, Li Chengdong waited for the arrival of Wang Yan's envoy in the mansion, and he could wait from morning to dusk, but his subordinates did not report it, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

Don't look at the Qing army's fighting in the past few days, but Zhangzhou is already a dead city after all, and the city is only a matter of time before the city is broken, he knows this very well, and in the past few days, he has commanded his men and horses to attack the Ming army attacking the city, not to hold Zhangzhou, but to show Wang Yan his strength, so as to talk about the price of surrender from scratch.

Yesterday, the Ming army failed to attack the city, and today it stopped attacking the city, it must be adjusting the strategy, Li Chengdong thought that the Ming army should raise the conditions for surrender from the new, but there was no news at dusk, and he was a little anxious unconsciously.

He immediately came to the city to check, looked at the Ming camp, and found that many Ming troops were actually preparing equipment, towering building cars, one after another, the soldiers climbed up, nailed pieces of leather to the front of the building car, which can be used to guard against rockets.

After Li Chengdong looked around, his face became gloomy, Wang Yan was not giving up, and obviously wanted to attack, which made his mind solemn.

He thought about it, he never replied to Wang Yan, after Wang Yan let Li Yuanyin return to the city to show goodwill, he did not agree to the conditions, nor did he send someone to put forward the conditions, and he killed thousands of Ming troops in the past few days, so Wang Yan naturally thought that he was going to be loyal to the Qing court.

Thinking of this, Li Chengdong hurriedly inspected the city defense, and then went back to discuss with Li Yuanyin, who was locked up, since Wang Yan didn't send someone to come, he took the initiative to send someone to talk.

Li Chengdong hurriedly inspected Beicheng, went to other sides again, and then went to patrol the camp everywhere, and finally went to visit the wounded, everything was very normal, but just when he was about to leave and return home, he was faced with a group of soldiers and horses, but suddenly became chaotic.

Li Chengdong thought that it was just a normal patrol of the soldiers in the city, but he didn't want the patrol soldiers, after the salute, when he passed by him, the head of the general suddenly slashed at him, fortunately Li Chengdong was a battlefield general, and he was good at martial arts, so he avoided the first knife.

More than a dozen guards around him reacted, and immediately drew their knives and a scuffle, and the entire Zhangzhou was in an uproar.

In the camp of the Ming army outside the city, the soldiers of the Ming army, who were busy checking the equipment, rushed to the walled wall together, and watched towards Zhangzhou City.

Wang Yan listened to the movement, picked up the curtain and came out, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" What's the noise? ”

The guard in front of the tent saluted and said: "Back to the Duke of the Kingdom, it seems that there is a fire in Zhangzhou City." ”

Wang Yan also hurriedly walked to the wall, and sure enough, he saw that the fire in Zhangzhou City was soaring into the sky, reflecting half of the sky red, which was even more dazzling than the sunset in the west.

The generals also hurried over, and Zheng Chenggong said first: "Guogong, what is this?" ”

Wang Yan's eyes narrowed, "This fire is evil, the fire shouldn't have burned so big, this pavilion suspects that it was arson, it is estimated that it is a persuasion letter shot into the city, and it finally worked." ”

"Guogong, whether it is arson or fire, in short, the opportunity is rare, take advantage of the fire, how can you attack a wave, even if you can't break the city, you must make it impossible for the Qing soldiers to put out the fire." Li Guo said excitedly.
