At the end of the war, the green battalion was the first to attack, and it was noon until now, whether it was the Qing army or the Taiping army, both sides were exhausted, and they were expecting that the other side could not support the rout, but as time passed, both sides knew in their hearts that this vicious battle was far from over.

The Shang family's own soldiers did not capture the city wall after losing hundreds of people, which made Shang Kexi, who was watching the battle, faintly uneasy, but did not order the withdrawal of troops, but instead ordered to continue the onslaught, and to take Xinhui City at all costs.

"Lord Wang, the thieves still have some strength to spare, and our army has suffered too heavy losses, should we withdraw and rectify it first and then fight?"

Ban Zhifu saw that he had broken so many soldiers, and Xinhui City was still firmly controlled by the Taiping army, so he couldn't help but want to persuade Shang Kexi to withdraw temporarily.

Shang Zhixin also said: "Father, let's withdraw first, and fight again tomorrow, and my son will personally lead people to take this new meeting to his father!"

"Retirement?"

Shang Kexi's face was flat, he couldn't see the joy, anger and sorrow, and looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that one blow and then three times and then exhaustion? If we retreat now, we won't be able to take back this Xinhui City! After speaking, he didn't say more to the two of them, raised his hand and ordered the guards to go and give orders.

Alas!

Ban Zhifu sighed secretly, and the monk's letter looked at each other, not knowing why Shang Kexi insisted on doing so. The two of them were puzzled, and the rest of the generals under the Pingnan Domain were also inexplicable, and they were very puzzled by the decision of King Pingnan to be so angry, but Wu Guoguo, who was standing next to everyone in a low-key manner, grinned unnoticed, obviously knowing in his heart why Shang Kexi made this decision, if he was not mistaken, the reason why Shang Kexi wanted to recapture Xinhui at any cost was probably related to the holy decree that Governor Li Shutai received three days ago.

Shang Kexi was determined to recapture Xinhui today, and his order soon reached the ears of the generals, and the horn of the king of Pingnan urging the troops sounded again, which made the exhausted Qing army devote themselves to the fight again without taking a breath. Wave after wave of shouts of killing. The Taiping army on the city wall responded to the Qing army's shouts with a muffled roar, the soldiers stuck to their posts, and the officers kept running back and forth. Wielding the long knife in his hand, he kept rescuing the dangerous battlements.

The increasing casualties taught Zhou Shixiang and his officers how to defend the city, and the Taiping army was no longer gathered in groups of three or five as before. Instead, they were divided into squads, one with a knife, one with a spear, and the other two holding a fork that could push the ladder. The four of them cooperate with each other, once they find that a Qing soldier climbs up from the ladder, they hold a fork and push the ladder, if they can't push the ladder. The soldier with the spear stabbed the Qing soldier who showed his head, and the soldier with the knife immediately cut it when he missed. With such cooperation, the momentum of the soldiers of the family to climb the city was effectively curbed, and the casualties of the soldiers of the family, who were regarded as baby bumps by Shang Kexi, gradually increased.

In addition to the battlements guarded by four people, the more than 100 musketeers of the guards battalion were no longer scattered, but divided into four teams, each team of twenty or thirty people, these twenty or thirty gunners under the command of the officers bombarded the city in a unified manner, this style of play was much more effective than the previous blind shooting, and caused a lot of casualties to the Qing army.

After Liao Ruixiang went down to the city, he found Zhao Sihai and dispatched 300 security team members to the city. These security team members cooperated with the original young people in the city to be responsible for the boiling and spilling of the gold juice, the throwing of the wood, and the extra manpower continued to carry materials from the city to the city. The rest spontaneously smashed down the Qing army with stones and bricks. With the cooperation of several parties, the Taiping army's defense of the city became organized and large-scale, which made the Qing army under the city more headache and more desperate.

Just in case, Zhou Shixiang ordered Jiang He, the bald son of the 100 households of the Guards Battalion, and Li Fuguo, the 100 households of the Guards, to immediately lead the remaining troops of the Guards Battalion to stand by under the East City, ready to go to the city for reinforcements at any time. At the same time, the three battalions of Hujie, Trapping, and Xiongwei, which were guarding the remaining three gates, were each transferred to a team of soldiers to standby and transferred to Dongcheng at any time.

"Think of your wives and children!"

"If the Tartars break the city, they will be the first to cut off the heads of our Taiping army. The second one is going to cut off your heads! ”

"If you want to go back alive, cheer up Lao Tzu, Tartar is also a human being. You are also human, fight with them! ”

“”

on the city walls. There are constantly officers of the Earthquake Battalion and the Guards Battalion cheering for those security team members and young people, these security team members and young people also know that they can't do it if they don't sell their lives until now, once the city is broken, those who have families must suffer for the whole family, and those who don't have families don't want to be alone, the brutality of the Tartars is not a joke, the city is really broken, and the old and young masters of the whole city can live!

"I'll give you a lung! Top your lungs! ”

Fan Si forcefully moved a stone to the battlement, and then let out a shout to push the stone down, and I don't know where to give birth to the courage, Fan Si actually looked at the city, and his face suddenly became happy at this look, "You dead servant street, die well, die well!" But it turned out that the stone was smashing the head of a Qing soldier who had only climbed half up the ladder.

The biggest disadvantage of the ant siege city is fully visible at this moment, the densely gathered Qing soldiers have completely become a live target on the city, a big tree falls to smash a piece, a stone will not fall in vain, and the hot gold juice is even more scalding to death.

The Qing army was also ruthless, and the soldiers of their own family were even more open, and those who went up fell down, and those below climbed up. There was no vacancy on the ladder for a moment, and it was full of Qing soldiers climbing up. Two of the ladders even fell apart on their own due to the excessive weight of the Qing soldiers climbing, and the Qing soldiers who fell from above smashed many of their companions below.

On the other side of the city gate, the shield cart of the green camp still made no progress, and there was nothing to be found except for the constant sound of banging on the door. The Zhenghuang Banner Han Army commanded by Geng Zhongde did not organize people to climb the city, but only suppressed the city with bows and arrows under the city, which made the casualties of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army very small, if it were not for the Zhenghuang Banner but the guest soldiers, Geng Zhongde was the uncle of the King of Jingnan, I am afraid that Qin Guocheng would have chopped off his head as a urinal.

Most of the Han army with blue flags from Guangzhou rushed to the city, but the east city of Xinhui was only two miles long from north to south, and thousands of Qing troops attacked the city at the same time at such a narrow distance. Most of these flag soldiers who failed to squeeze to the front to climb the ladder to attack the city were glad that they did not die like the cannon fodder of the green battalion, and that they did not become a live target of the Taiping army in the city like their own soldiers.
