The battle was already white-hot, and the Shang family's own soldiers made the Qing army as excited as drinking chicken blood, and in several areas, the casualties of the Taiping army in the city exceeded the Qing soldiers in the city for the first time, and many of them were not killed by arrows, but were hacked to death by the soldiers who climbed up with knives.

On the battlefield, individual martial arts can not determine the outcome, but can determine the survival or life of the individual, Shang's own soldiers are selected are the elite of the Han army under the command of Shang Kexi, and the officers are even more old soldiers, when it comes to the ability to kill, the Taiping Army, which has only been established for a few months, is far inferior, and on bravery, I am afraid that in addition to Ge Zheng, Ge Yi, bald Jiang He and other bandit-born officers can be compared, and the rest are far inferior.

When the soldiers climbed the city, they were not in a hurry to climb up, but held the ladder tightly, and at the same time looked up to observe the situation of the battlements on the city, once they found that something fell in the city, they could quickly dodge, and then take advantage of the pause of the Taiping army above, and climb the ladder like flying, and kill the Taiping army after approaching.

Several battlements were climbed by their own soldiers, these heavily armored banner soldiers relied on a suit of armor, relying on the city wall to resist the attack of the Taiping army, while receiving the following companions to go to the city, often more than two of their own soldiers came up, and the Taiping army in front of them was five or six people who could not drive them down. Fortunately, the number of soldiers who landed in the city on the whole was still weak, although a few battlements were occupied by them, but under the attack of the Taiping army that was reinforced later, they were also unable to expand their territory, and one of them was even snatched back by the red-eyed Ge Yi.

Ge Yi's right little finger was cut off by a knife during the previous siege of the green camp, and he didn't care about bandaging it and threw himself into a new round of fighting, like his brother, Ge Yi could never get rid of the rude swear words in his mouth, he swung the knife and slashed, while constantly asking the female relatives of the Qing soldiers opposite, the words were born. The breeding organs are even more non-stop, so that the soldiers of the Zhenying Battalion who are following him are greatly relieved, and they are all as fierce and difficult as Ge Yi.

The so-called soldier is a bear. Will be a litter.

The origin of the Ge brothers' bandits has always been a hurdle that Zhou Shixiang can't get around in his heart, and he always thinks that the subordinates from these bandits are not very useful, and the real way to drive the Manchus out of the Han people in the future will depend on those children of good families, but now it seems. These two bandit brothers can make him feel at ease, so that he can bury his head in a bloody battle without worrying that someone will suddenly leave him and run away.

Since ancient times, whenever the dog slaughters!

With the Ge brothers here, this city can't be lost!

Zhang Erjiang, a hundred households in the Guards Battalion, led people to block several gaps that were broken by his own soldiers in time, and more than 100 firecrackers occupied this place under the leadership of the officer, and constantly shot the firecrackers at the Qing soldiers on the ladder below.

The artillery, which had already been muted, sounded again. The Hongyi artillery bombarded the Qing army that was constantly rushing up several miles away, so that the Qing army that had been reinforced, could not approach in time.

Shang Kexi, who was watching the battle from afar, was very jealous of the Hongyi cannon in the city, and was also greatly annoyed, he pressed his own soldiers at any cost, in order to solve the battle as soon as possible and regain control of Xinhui, but half an hour has passed, in addition to stacking nearly a thousand corpses, Xinhui City is still firmly controlled by the Taiping army.

Shang Zhixin took people around the city to inspect the city and came back to suggest that his father should immediately send troops to attack the other three city gates at the same time, which was approved by Ban Zhifu. The situation is obvious, if you attack the east gate again, the Taiping army in the city is insufficient, but you can get the reinforcements of the remaining three defenders in time, and the Qing army can only storm the east gate for a while, as long as the Taiping army still has a new force to replenish, this city wall will not be able to take it for a while and a half, look at the casualties under the city, really want to completely take Xinhui City, I am afraid that the Qing army will have to pay thousands of casualties.

The casualties of several thousand were unacceptable to the Qing army in Guangdong. It is even more unacceptable to the king of Pingnan, Shang Zhixin and Ban Zhifu's proposal is very reasonable, only by attacking the four gates of Xinhui at the same time can the Taiping army in the city take care of one or the other. There is an old saying that fortification everywhere is equal to no defense everywhere, and the Taiping army will not be able to hold on to this strength at all, and it will consume them to death!

Last year, when Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of troops came to besiege Xinhui, the Qing army in the city was twice as many as the current Taiping army, with nearly 6,000 men and horses. And there are reinforcements from Guangzhou outside, and Li Dingguo has no choice but to withdraw from the army. If there were no reinforcements from Guangzhou, it would be difficult to say where Xinhui would ultimately belong.

The current Taiping army is not Li Dingguo, he has no reinforcements outside, Shang Kexi has ordered all the prefectures to send urgent reports of military information in Guangzhou, especially the military report of Zhaoqing, and it is clear everywhere that there is no sign of large-scale activities of the Ming army in the territory (in person). Xu Erxian said in detail, after the self-appointed garrison of Tang Sanshui captured Luoding, the Gaozhou Ming army in the west ignored it as if the world had evaporated, and the spies sent to Gaozhou also confirmed the intelligence of the Gaozhou Ming army's inaction from various channels, although I don't understand why the Gaozhou Ming army did not react to Luo Ding's "gain and loss", but this information made Shang Kexi take a dose of reassurance.

Frankly speaking, if there are still people in this world who can make King Pingnan and his old man feel afraid, then I am afraid that there is no one else except Li Dingguo, and even the old man in the Forbidden City is only respectful rather than afraid. If the Taiping army was not alone, if Li Dingguo took advantage of the situation, Shang Kexi decided not to go out of Guangzhou, he would definitely be a turtle with a shrunken head, and then send an urgent report of 800 miles to Beijing every day, asking the Manchurian soldiers to rescue him.

The reality is that the Taiping Army is just a new army that suddenly emerged, and it is a lone army, and Li Dingguo's tiger is still napping in Guangxi, and the two pieces of information are superimposed, which is why the prince of Pingnan personally conquered Xinhui, otherwise, his old man would not have moved lightly from Guangzhou. When Li Dingguo came last year, the imperial court did not let the king of Pingnan out of Guangzhou City even after issuing several holy decrees, but kept complaining to the imperial court about the urgency, until the Manchu and Han army led by the Jingnan general Zhu Mala arrived, and his old man went to relieve the siege of Xinhui with great interest.

If this king has eaten more salt than you have eaten, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, naturally can't say, he did not take the advice of his son and cronies, and insisted on attacking the east gate, for this reason, he ordered the rest of the battalion to also join the battlefield, preparing to pile up the Taiping army in the city with a numerical advantage.

King Pingnan also has no choice, the battle has been fought so far, so many people have died, he is also difficult to ride a tiger, although the attack from all sides can disperse the strength of the Taiping army, but why not divide his soldiers of the king of Pingnan, if the division of troops can break the city, what if it can't be broken? Do you want to make that white-faced kid's joke in Guangzhou that Wang can't even take a small new club!

Li Dingguo, I can't beat him, hum. I can't beat a bandit!

Heap, I don't believe that this little Taiping army can stop the footsteps of this king!

Shang Kexi gritted his teeth and transferred troops again, he was already ruthless, and he had to win Xinhui no matter what!

On the east city wall of Xinhui, there are ladders as far as the eye can see. The ladder is full of people, and this is really an ant-attached siege. If the ants want to break the city, the key is the disparity in troops, and only if the besieging side has enough troops to make the defenders breathless, the city can be taken. The follow-up troops and horses of the Qing army were constantly mobilized. However, the artillery of the Taiping army in the city made it impossible for the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Qing army to rush to the city at the first time, so that the soldiers of the family who were almost about to break the city several times lost their side. Repeated actions, repeated attacks, in exchange for only a sea of corpses that had been piled up higher and higher under the city.

"Boom", "boom"...

More than a dozen cannons sounded, like muffled thunder, shaking the bricks of the city as if they were shaking, and the Han army flag on the side captured the gunners covered their ears, and the muffled thunder also shook their hearts.

The sound of artillery did not make the reinforcements of the Qing army retreat, nor did it make the Qing soldiers who were climbing the city frightened, and the wealth and women in the city were tempting them like devils. Or rather, they've killed the red eye. Whether it is the banner soldiers of the Han army or the green battalion soldiers, there is only one thought at this moment - to take Xinhui City and kill everyone!

The main force of the green battalion of the Qing army in Guangdong is actually the former Ming army, and a small part of them are the masters who were forced to pull after the Qing army occupied Guangdong, these original Ming troops and Han people did not fight with the alien Tartars, but became a part of the Qing army under the pressure of their swords, and played the role of vanguard and cannon fodder in countless battles. But as long as they can get their lives back, what are they not satisfied with? Could it be that their necks can be stiffer than the broadswords of Manchurian soldiers?!

Just as the Manchurian Eight Banners did to the Han Eight Banners and the Meng Eight Banners, Shang Kexi was also gracious to the Ming Dynasty generals and troops recruited after going south, as long as they were willing to work hard. He gave a lot of rewards, anyway, the things that were rewarded were not out of his own pocket by King Pingnan, but those things of the southerners themselves, as for the slaughter of the city, this kind of thing is even more commonplace, Shang Kexi himself didn't know how many times he had ordered the slaughter of the city, and how many southerners he had slaughtered in his eyes that were no different from livestock. Although these southerners were his compatriots and were the objects of his defense.

Many of the original officers of the Ming army became generals at the level of general soldiers and staff generals in the green battalion, became the core of the green battalion in Guangdong, and became accomplices in the oppression of compatriots by foreign races, and forcibly helped Manchuria, which had a population of only 100,000 people, to occupy the Han family. These green battalion generals are doing their best for glory and wealth, and the bottom battalion soldiers are desperate to stay alive, and the reward for them is the vent after victory - massacre.

The green battalion stationed in Guangzhou is the main force of the green battalion in Guangdong, and they are the first-class people in the green battalion, while the green battalion stationed in each prefecture is the second-class person in the green battalion, and the most obvious difference is that the quality of the soldiers in the green battalion in Guangzhou is stronger than that of the green battalion under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, and the combat effectiveness is much higher.

In the previous siege battle, the green battalions in each county were basically used as cannon fodder by Lin Shanzhi, and suffered heavy losses, more than 2,000 people were left when they retreated, and the garrison green battalions in several counties were disabled, and they could not be sent at all, so when the second siege of the city, Lin Shanzhi did not transfer these disabled battalions to attack the city, but these county garrison battalions did not rejoice for long, and received the order to siege the city.

When they rushed through the firing point of the city's artillery, the garrison battalion soldiers were shocked, and many of the battalion soldiers who had recovered from the previous siege threw their lives on this blood-soaked land again, and some of the battalion soldiers stayed there in fright, but quickly reacted, ignoring those comrades who were killed by the artillery, and rushed towards the city wall with red eyes and screaming.

The power of the Hongyi cannon is really not comparable to ordinary cannons, all the Qing soldiers who were hit by the cannonballs had broken bones and broken tendons, brains overflowing, flesh and blood blurred, which was unbearable, and screams, **, and cries came and went. Those Hongyi cannons condescendingly shot at the Qing army, the momentum of the cannonballs falling was very sufficient, and they were ejected when they landed, and the big solid iron balls weighing dozens of pounds were shuttled in the Qing army, and they were all rotten, whether you were rubbed by the iron balls in your hands or legs, they were all smashed directly, and the blood could not stop gushing out, and the injury was the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, and it was difficult to save.

I don't know how many soldiers of the garrison green battalion of the counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture have died, and I don't know how many of the green battalions of Guangzhou have died, and there are as many as 100 corpses of the soldiers of the family on the corpses under the city wall, and the corpses of other flag soldiers can also be seen everywhere.
