When the Qing army and Shang Kexi in the southern city were in full swing, the rumbling cannon sound suddenly sounded on the eastern side.

"Lord Wang, a large number of enemies have launched an attack under Dongcheng, and Dongcheng is asking for reinforcements!"

Before Dai Shan could figure out the situation, the Dongcheng guard had already sent someone to ask for help.

"Quickly dispatch a thousand people to support Dongcheng!" Dai Shan urgently ordered.

Not long after the 1,000 reinforcements left, the guards of Xicheng sent people to ask for help: "Lord Wang, there are also a large number of enemies outside Xicheng who have begun to attack the city, please send reinforcements quickly!" ”

Dai Shan stomped his feet in anger, what the hell is going on, it is clear that the main forces of the Jiang family's army are concentrated outside the southern city, why did a large number of enemy troops suddenly appear in other directions, this is simply impossible!

But listening to the rumbling cannons coming from outside Xicheng, Dai Shan couldn't help but believe it, so he had to transfer another thousand people to Xicheng.

As a result, the reinforcements who went to Xicheng had just left without a stick of incense, and a man with a bloody face ran to Dai Shan, crying that Beicheng had also been subjected to heavy artillery bombardment by the enemy, and asked for reinforcements. If it's too late, I'm afraid the northern city will be breached by the enemy.

Dai Shan almost wanted to cry without tears, what the hell is going on!

The other three directions originally only had a small number of enemy rangers, how could so many enemies suddenly emerge from three directions at the same time, and the defenders in each direction shouted that the enemy was attacking fiercely, could it be that the enemy was a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general?

But looking at the blood-covered soldiers in front of him, Daishan couldn't send reinforcements, so he had to allocate another thousand reinforcements to support Beicheng.

Hu Zongxian, who was observing the battlefield with a clairvoyant mirror on the cloud car, took in all of this, knowing that the Tartar Daishan had really been fooled, and said to the herald next to him with a slight smile: "Notify the other three directions, increase the intensity of the attack, and stick the Tartar." ”

The herald soon passed down the order, and the flag bearer waved the flag, and the herald received the order and rode to inform the commanders in the other three directions.

Sure enough, a moment later, the attacks from the north, west, and east directions became more violent, and it sounded like the sound of artillery rumbling and killing shook the sky.

In this way, the Qing soldiers fighting by Shang Kexi's troops in the south of the city were also affected, and a large number of men and horses were transferred, which made Shang Kexi's attack increase a lot at once.

Some of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty had even climbed the city wall along the ladder and fought with the Qing army. Although it was quickly drowned in the crowd, it was a great encouragement.

"Brothers, work hard, keep going, the Tartars can't stand it anymore! Kill these dog tartars, and let out the evil breath in your heart! Shang Kexi had an arrow hanging from his armor, waving his voice and shouting.

Encouraged by him, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han continued to rush upwards with a roar.

Shang Kexi's more than 6,000 Han Eight Banner troops were originally intended to be used as cannon fodder, but he didn't expect to show unexpected bravery, which made Hu Zongxian's eyebrows tremble, and he handed over to the herald next to him and said in a low voice: "If Shang Kexi attacks the city, arrange for someone to kill him." ”

The herald nodded his head in agreement, and turned to make arrangements.

In fact, since Shang Kexi surrendered, his fate has been doomed. Because before the army set out on the expedition, Jiang Chuan said that these generals of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who surrendered must die.

These people have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history since the day they became traitors. They can only die once.

If these people can let him come down and save their lives, it is too unfair to those who die for the sake of the loyalty of their family and country, and serve only one lord for the sake of those who are loyal and serve only one lord for the rest of their lives.

Jiang Chuan himself can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Hu Zongxian also had the same idea, and originally planned to use Shang Kexi and these people as cannon fodder. In his original vision, Shang Kexi would die under the Shengjing City, at the hands of the Manchu masters they had grovelled to serve.

In this way, Jiang Chuan will not lose the reputation of killing a surrendering general, nor will he block the door to surrender in the future, and he can also let this traitor get the end he deserves.

But I didn't expect Shang Kexi to be lucky, the fight just now was so fierce, and this guy was still alive and well. So Hu Zongxian had no choice but to arrange a backhand.

If you don't kill him at this time, then I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to kill him again.

Shang Kexi didn't know that his life had begun to enter the countdown, but continued to wave his knife and command his subordinates to rush up.

At this time, Hu Zongxian also ordered Geldan to attack with his Mongol soldiers.

Geldan was originally watching the excitement on the side, but he didn't expect to let his people get on again, and the boss in his heart was unhappy. But looking at the herald's cold eyes, he had no choice but to rush up with people.

As soon as the Mongol soldiers joined in, the Qing army at the head of the city was a little stretched, and there were constantly openings being broken through. There are more and more Han Eight Banner troops and Mongolian troops who climbed to the head of the city, and the Qing army at the head of the city is retreating one after another, and there are dangers everywhere.

Dai Shan looked anxious, and roared loudly to command the other generals to join the defense with their own soldiers.

These pro-soldiers were the elite of the Manchurian soldiers, and as soon as they joined in, the Han Eight Banner troops and the Mongol soldiers who rushed to the city were quickly unable to parry and were soon driven off the city.

The Han Eight Banners and the Mongol troops left a place of corpses and retreated.

Geldan came to Hu Zongxian and asked for his men to rest, not wanting to continue the siege.

Even Shang Kexi came, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was similar.

Hu Zongxian was unmoved, and only said that if the two did not respect the military order, they would definitely be dealt with by military law. The two had no choice but to retreat.

However, Hu Zongxian also agreed to send grenadiers to assist them in attacking the city, and the two returned in a huff.

After a morning of siege, although the city was not captured, the repeated attacks on the city by the Han and Mongolian troops had already caused the morale of the Qing army to plummet, and the morale of the Jiang army was greatly boosted.

The other three directions were also lively, but mainly with artillery bombardment, and the infantry of the Jiang family army was just bluffing. Rao was like this, and the cannonballs also caused considerable damage to the Qing soldiers on the other three city walls, especially for their morale.

In fact, there are some artillery pieces in Shengjing City, but unfortunately the number is too small, and the second is the range problem, so the effect of the counterattack on the Jiang army is really not great.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the leaky city made Daishan feel as if the city would be breached at any time, so he had a different mind.

At noon, the Jiang army began to bury the pot and cook, and the Qing army at the head of the city also took the opportunity to start resting and eating.

Dai Shan led people to patrol the city, looking at the corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere and those soldiers who were alive but had frustration and despair written on their faces, although there was no expression on their faces, they comforted the soldiers in their mouths, and encouraged the soldiers that Shengjing would definitely be able to hold it, and the government and the opposition had already transferred troops from the old city of Hetuala.

But as soon as he returned to his mansion, the first thing Dai Shan did was to recruit Gushan Ezhen, who was in his red flag, and asked him to prepare a group of men and horses, and prepare to escape from Shengjing to the old city of Hetuara at night.

Whether it is the Jurchen or Mongolian, these fishing and hunting nomads pay attention to their strength, and if they can't fight, they won't have too much psychological burden at all, unlike the Han people, who pay attention to solar terms and loyalty.

Now it is obvious that Shengjing can't hold it, so Daishan plans to run away.

As for the emperor and queen mother, who she loves and who she goes, it has nothing to do with herself.
