Hu Kui did not go far, let a spy escape to the university scholar's mansion, this spy also said that there was any way to break the enemy, he also hoped that this spy could really save this Jinhua Mansion, but he was still worried that the spy would be unfavorable to the university scholar, so he also took his five patrol Ding Qingzhuang, guarding not far from the back door of Zhu Dadian's mansion, looking at the back door, not daring to go far.

Just as he was about to look through, the back door opened, and Zhang Qiang walked out with the two family members who had taken him into Zhu Dadian's mansion.

This time it is no longer the same Zhang Qiang as Huazi, but a gorgeous robe, as well as a Ming Guang armor used by the generals of the Ming Army, a Ming army waist knife hung on his waist, and a short fire gun from the Ming Dynasty, and now his identity is the deputy commander of the Jinhua Mansion Righteous Army.

Now the Ming Dynasty is falling, the Southern Ming Dynasty was established, although Zhu Dadian has an official body, but he did not enter the dynasty, the Qing army went south, destroyed the Shaowu court, Emperor Longwu is also in flight, the Ming Dynasty army has no one to command, Jinhua Mansion does not have a regular garrison Ming army, the righteous army is not a legitimate Ming Dynasty army, so this army only has unofficial titles such as commander and deputy commander.

Seeing Zhang Qiang actually dressed like this and walked out of the Zhu Mansion, Hu Kui was stunned, what does this mean? He couldn't figure it out.

The two family members who followed Zhang Qiang were very discerning, and when they saw Hu Kui guarding the back door of the mansion, they immediately unfolded Zhu Dadian's warrant to them, and shouted loudly: "The lord has an order, promote the righteous Zhang Qiang to be the deputy commander of the Jinhua Mansion Righteous Army, and now he is already an official master, you must not trouble him in the future, let alone slander his reputation, forget everything in the past, and do not publicize it, you know?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain must keep it in mind, and instruct his subordinates not to declare!" Hu Kui immediately responded to Jiading's words, he is a person with vision, and he is also a person who is not willing to accept the status quo, although a family member in Zhu Mansion is not a noble person, but compared to others, it is still a lot higher, in his opinion, say a few more words, give an attitude, please the family, maybe one day Jia Ding will be happy to say a good word or two to him in front of Zhu Daxue, and when he has the opportunity, he can go to the next level, be a long or something, maybe there is a chance to become a Zhu Mansion family Ding, relying on the dignitaries and nobles to get closer, In the future, there will be more opportunities to be promoted and make a fortune.

Zhang Qiang looked at Hu Kui, a big man, and he was not the kind of stunned look, but there was a bit of shrewdness in his eyes, even if he wanted the position of deputy commander of Jinhua Mansion now, and got a suit of clothes, he was still single, a few small patrolmen, and he would pay too much attention to NPC Zhu Dadian, with his own identity, these family members would not be blocked, it was better to bring Hu Kui to come and take him with him to cultivate slowly, at least there were a few people around him, and it was also in line with his identity.

Although the two family members around him were sent to him by NPC Zhu Dadian, it was not easy to use it, and he said to the family Ding Jia next to him: "I don't have anyone around me, so it's better to transfer this team of patrolmen to my side as an errand, okay?" ”

Jia Ding A and Jia Ding B saw that Zhang Qiang and NPC Zhu Dadian were so familiar, the two of them talked in the room all morning, and these two of them were sent to him on an errand, this team of patrolmen is not elite, thinking that the master will not object, he immediately said with a smile: "Everything but relying on the deputy commander to call the shots, and transferring a few ordinary young men as guards, it is also in line with your identity, I think the master will not have anything to say." ”

"Well," Zhang Qiang nodded slightly with satisfaction, and said to Hu Kui and the other team of patrolmen beside him: "You can hear me, follow me now!" ”

Hu Kui hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, "Yes, my lord." ”

After getting the manpower and having soldiers, Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Go to the city gate, go to the city wall, and follow me to see the Tartars." It's also a good idea to relieve the danger of Jinhua as soon as possible."

With these people, Zhang Qiang came to the city wall in the southwest corner, because of the leadership of Zhu Dadian's family, he was not hindered at all, and the generals who defended the city knew that he was the new deputy commander of the righteous army, but flattered him everywhere, flattered and enthusiastic, and enthusiastically made Zhang Qiang feel uncomfortable.

Finally coped with the warm hospitality of the generals who defended the city in the past, Zhang Qiang looked out of the city, this look, almost made him fall down the city wall, fortunately, the burly man who had just been incorporated next to him, Hu Kui, the leader of the patrol, was quick and grabbed him.

Zhang Qiang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, as a modern person, he has been educated to be obedient and sensible like a sheep, not to shout at friends casually, to scold, not to talk about war lightly, otherwise you will have no place to stay, good old man, in addition to being able to spray on the keyboard, vent, play war games, and refresh the otaku, he really has never seen so many real incidents of enemy soldiers besieging the castle, and he has never even seen so many people gathered in front of him at the same time.

I saw that the outside of the city wall was densely packed, like an army of ants, occupying the other side of the Wujiang River, and further away the sandy beaches that were divided by rivers and lakes hit the ground, and the camps of the Qing army rose from the ground, continuously, the war drums were vigorous and powerful, connected into a piece, the flags were unfurled, and a team of cavalry crisscrossed the middle of the various phalanx queues, galloping back and forth, the turf was splashed, and the dust was flying.

On the top of the Wu River, a pontoon bridge connects the two banks, and a siege city is pushed over from the wide pontoon bridge, piled up under the city, and a group of Mongolian cavalry below the city, while running, bends the bow and arrows on the horse, shoots arrows at the head of the city, and harasses the Ming volunteers at the head of the city.

The Ming army volunteer archers at the head of the city leaned out of the battlements one after another, and shot at the Mongol cavalry, but the effect was very bad, the opponent was riding on a horse, and was in motion, to Mongolia

The rate of fire and skill of the cavalry, the righteous archers who had just been transferred from ordinary people to the volunteer militia were the opponents of the Mongolian cavalry, only to see the Mongolian cavalry running back and forth under the city wall, constantly shooting arrows, and very few were hit and fell off the horse, and the screams of the city head were one after another, and from time to time you could see that there were righteous archers in other places because they leaned too much, and after being shot, they fell under the city wall, and under the city wall, a layer of corpses had been thickly piled up, and they were almost two meters high.

Of course, those corpses are not only the archers of the righteous army, most of them are still from the Qing army, because before Zhang Qiang came, Jinhua County, where the city of Jinhua Mansion is located, has been besieged for about a month, and hundreds of battles have been fought, relative to the defenders, as long as the enemy does not rush to the city wall, then the number of dead people must be much less than the other party, even if the other party attacks the city, they will pay a lot of price in the process of approaching the city wall or climbing the city wall, because in the process, they can only be beaten by the soldiers defending the city, and cannot fight back, Only by climbing the city wall and jumping up can it be possible to touch the opponent, and at this moment can the defenders inflict casualties, throw away the enemy's bows and arrows and artillery, and it is common sense that any besieging side will face such an embarrassing moment.

Due to the blockage of the Wujiang River, the Qing army had to pay greater casualties than the attack on Jinhua County.

Outside Jinhua County is the Wujiang River, the Wujiang River is equivalent to the natural moat of Jinhua County, and it is a big, insurmountable obstacle, there is only a stone bridge in the middle connected with the county, of course, the Qing army can also cross the river by the boats on the Wujiang River, to attack Jinhua County.

Compared with the locals, the Qing army had to suffer in the water battle, and it took a lot of effort to finally approach the city wall of Jinhua County, in the process, even most of the rebels in the city had no combat experience, and they also caused a lot of damage to the Qing army.

Although these make the Jinhua defenders very excited, but now it seems that the Ming Dynasty has no shortage of warriors to fight, but these warriors can only be used by the Qing army, with the explanation of the family around him, Zhang Qiang has already known the composition of the Qing army, 10,000 Qing army eight banners elite, and eighty or ninety thousand are Ming army soldiers, under the city wall, extending to the other side of the Wujiang River, a month to the current battle, the Qing army elite casualties are only two or three hundred, even if it has become the official army of the Qing army of the Han Army Eight Banners, there are not many casualties, but two or three thousand, The real deaths were all the guards under some newly surrendered Ming army generals and some regimental training soldiers, or township brave soldiers, and even some Ming people who were brought in as people's husbands, almost four or five thousand people were killed or wounded.

The fight became more and more intense, as more and more soldiers came over from the other side, a new round of siege began, countless long ladders were carried by the people and the soldiers of the Han army, rushing towards the city wall, the Mongolian cavalry under the city wall has withdrawn, more Han soldiers and Ming army surrendered troops, the archers of the Ming army surrendered under the cover of infantry shields, approached the city wall, dense bows and arrows flew up the city wall, Zhang Qiang resounded one after another screams, as well as the shouts of the rebel officers, the city wall became a mess.

Zhang Qiang was still lying on the battlement and looking down, and in the distance, the artillery position of the Qing army was nervously preparing.

Jia Ding said: "My lord, this is the Qing army is preparing to carry out an artillery attack on us if the attack does not go well, I see if the adults want to go down to dodge, the artillery of the Qing army is very powerful, there are no bones left, regardless of the old and young or the generals and soldiers." ”

Another family member said: "It seems that the Qing army has more artillery, and most of them are red-coated cannons, it seems that the city is broken today." ”

Zhang Qiang glanced sideways at this family, and then looked at another family, these two families can be taken by Zhu Dadian in history, and in the inner courtyard, I think they are confidants, if they do not have a certain strength, it is impossible to be trusted by Zhu Dadian, then Zhu Dadian in history, although greedy, but also has some real ability, and has fought a lot of battles with the peasant army and the Qing army, and is a promising Ming official, and there is a Ming in his heart, and his integrity can be, and the people under the capable people will definitely not use some useless people who will say that they will not do.

Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, this family's opinion is really okay, the Qing army has been besieging the city for more than half a month, although everyone knows that the situation is declining, but just like the stock market, before the moment of diving and reversing, who knows if it will collapse next, but this person predicts that the city will be broken today, and he still has the ability.

A cannonball from afar, from small to large, flew straight towards Zhang Qiang's face, Zhang Qiang was still thinking about how to escape from this mortal enemy, since the family saw that the crisis was coming, how could he, a traveler who knew history, not be worried?

"Be careful," just now which family Ding pressed Zhang Qiang's head down the battlement, Zhang Qiang's whole person was lying on the cold city wall, and his body was pressed by the family, due to the suddenness of the incident, the whole person fell with a blue nose and swollen face, and the city wall came to a close contact, the Qing army's cannonball directly broke the battlement, wiped the top of Zhang Qiang's head and flew over, and fell into the city.

Zhang Qiang's eyes saw that a patrolman who had just followed was swept by a cannonball, and his entire arm was gone, and the person directly screamed and turned over and fell off the city wall.
