Chapter 171: Shang Keg's Vote

The four gates of Gaizhou City were surrounded, and the 20,000 Jiang army forwards led by Di Qing and the more than 6,000 Chahar soldiers led by Geldan besieged Gaizhou City.

In fact, the defenders in Gaizhou City were less than 10,000 people, and there were originally 20,000 people. Since the last time the Qing army was defeated outside Guangning City, 10,000 people were transferred to Shengjing to assist in the defense.

And those 10,000 people are all people from the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners, and those who stay to defend the city are the people of the Han Eight Banners.

After the defeat of the Qing army last time, rumors spread that many people said that Dorgon was dead and that the Qing Dynasty was going to be finished.

Because everyone knows that although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had an emperor, everyone knows that the six-year-old child of Fulin is not up to the problem at all, and he can't stand it.

Although there were two auxiliary kings in the Qing Dynasty, everyone also knew that Dorgon, the prince of Rui, was the one who really took care of things. As for Prince Zheng, Zierharang is simply a good man. Another meaning of a good man is that he has no opinions, so he can't be counted on.

In the hearts of many people, the Qing Dynasty has reached the verge of extinction.

Therefore, the people who stayed in Gaizhou, the Ten Thousand Han and Eight Banners, were also panicked, and they had already had a different mind. It's just that on the one hand, they were hindered by the aftermath of the Eight Banners, and on the other hand, they were still holding a little luck, so they didn't surrender at the beginning.

In order to show Di Qing's sincerity of submission, Geldan took the initiative to propose the first wave of his men to attack the city. In his opinion, tens of thousands of troops outside the city are overwhelmed, and the people in the city are panicked and have few troops.

As long as he brings a dozen people, the Han Eight Banners in the city will definitely cry and shout to surrender. In this way, the first merit of breaking through Gaizhou will be recorded on his head.

At that time, he was not only the first Mongolian nobleman to surrender to Wu'anhou, but also had the first merit to break through Gaizhou, and then his status in front of Wu'anhou would be superior.

Di Qing looked at Gerdan, who had an impassioned face, and sneered in his heart, seeing his mind clearly.

But he still promised him, he knew that he wouldn't let this guy touch a big heel, he didn't know how many pounds and taels he had. When the head he touched broke and the blood flowed, Jiang Jiajun would come forward to clean up the mess, and then he would know where the gap was, and he would be more honest.

Gerdan, who had been allowed to do so, was ambitious, and summoned his men for a pre-war mobilization, and the Mongol soldiers shouted excitedly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

The siege began, and the Mongols charged upwards with ladders, while others fired bows and arrows at the head of the city to cover their besieging companions. Although they are not good at attacking cities, they also learn from the Han people to attack cities.

The defenders of the Han Eight Banners at the head of the city were originally greeted by the fierce artillery fire of the Jiang army, and many people were ready to surrender as a pretense.

However, as soon as they saw that it was the Mongols who attacked the city first, many soldiers of the Han Eight Banners were not angry.

The three major parts of Manchuria, Manchu, Mongolia and Han, have always been the worst ones in the Han Eight Banners. In particular, Meng Baqi himself is a slave, but he claims to be married to a Manchurian nobleman, and belongs to a second-class citizen, which is one level higher than the Han Baqi, so it is called a ruthless bullying of the Han Baqi.

In the past, the people of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were forced by the situation to swallow their anger against these Mongolian soldiers.

I didn't want to fight today, but it was a group of Mongols who attacked the city first, and now the new and old hatreds broke out together, and the Mongolian soldiers were desperately counterattacked.

Now the guards in the city have been replaced by the Dengzhou guards of the Ming Dynasty, which is still gratifying. Shang Kexi is happy that this person's brain is turning fast, and he is good at figuring out people's minds.

He analyzed that if he led people to fight the Mongols, not only would he not incur the disgust of the Jiang family, but he would even win their favor. If the Mongols suffered a loss in their own hands, it would inevitably be the Jiang army that would attack next. At that time, as soon as the Jiang army attacked, he would immediately hang the white flag and surrender.

In this way, it not only taught the Mongols a lesson, showed the evil anger in everyone's hearts, but also gave the Jiang family army enough face, and it can be regarded as a welcome gift for his surrender, which is definitely a cost-effective thing.

Shang Ke had a good idea and ordered an all-out defense.

With the above words, Han Baqi desperately resisted. All kinds of rolling wood, stones, and gold juice have to be poured down the city without money.

The heads of the Mongolian soldiers under the city were broken and bleeding. Gold juice is boiled fecal water, and a layer of skin will be scalded off immediately when poured on the body, and the dirt will cause a large area of bacterial invasion to the human body, leading to sepsis.

The Mongol soldiers were poured with gold juice, screaming and struggling to roll on the ground and wail.

For the Mongolian archers who put arrows under the city, the bows and arrows on the city, the fire guns and even the tiger squat cannons fired a counterattack together, and the Mongolian archers who hit were killed and wounded, and they did not dare to show their heads again, so they could only hide from a distance and release arrows indiscriminately towards the city.

The counterattack at the head of the city was so fierce that it surprised Geldan, who was bent on making the first contribution. Looking at the waves of Mongolian soldiers who died under the city, and those wounded soldiers who were scalded by the gold juice and struggling and rolling around, his heart was dripping blood.

He thought it was a surefire errand, but he didn't expect the reality to be so cruel and gave him a slap in the face. He didn't understand why these soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were so cowardly on weekdays, but today they were unusual, as if they had a common enmity with their own people, and they fought back desperately.

He couldn't figure it out, and he wouldn't have thought that Shang Kexi in the city had the same mind as him, and they all wanted to use the other party's head as his name

He really wanted to withdraw his men and horses, but the cowhide had already blown out, and he just patted his chest in front of Di Qing and promised that he would definitely take Gaizhou City in one fell swoop.

If you say that the enemy is too powerful now, wouldn't it seem that you are too incompetent? In that case, how can you be superior in front of Wu Anhou in the future?

No, as long as I continue to attack, these Han Eight Banners will almost be unable to parry, as long as I hold on, I can break the city.

Therefore, even if his heart was dripping blood, he had to grit his teeth and order to continue the attack.

It's a pity that a morning has passed, and the corpses of the Mongol soldiers have been piled up layer after layer under the city, but there is no sign of Gaizhou being breached.

His generals all came to him with dark faces and asked him to stop the siege, because after the count, his 6,000 men had already suffered more than 1,000 casualties in one morning.

At this time, Gerdan also had serious doubts about his own judgment.

He even felt that the defenders in this city were definitely not 10,000 Han Eight Banners, there must be more, even 30,000 or 40,000 men and horses, so these Han Eight Banners would fight back so fiercely, it was because they had confidence.

The headache for Gerdan now is how to tell Di Qing to ask his men to stop the siege.

Just when he was struggling, Di Qing sent someone to give an order to let his people remove and repair. After lunch, the Jiang family army went into battle.

Gerdan breathed a sigh of relief, and even began to have some thoughts of schadenfreude, secretly thinking that everyone should drip blood together, and I would wait to see a good show in the afternoon.
