The 600 governors and pacesetters brought by Hu Guoguo were not taken seriously by Shang Kexi, but the 500 Zhenghuangqi Han troops brought by Geng Zhongde were ordered to assist in the siege.

Hearing the order, Geng Zhongde did not hesitate, nor was he dissatisfied, and silently led people down to prepare. Over there, Hu Guoguo waited for a while, and saw that Shang Kexi did not order his own general, although he was puzzled in his heart, he was also happy. How can there be immortals in the war, Lin Shanzhi led the green battalion to attack the city before, he can see it, judging from the performance of the Taiping army in the city, this time even if the soldiers under the command of King Pingnan go up, I am afraid that they will have to hit their heads and break the blood.

Before his arrival, the governor repeatedly instructed himself to obey the command of the king of Pingnan, and there must be no objections or dissatisfactions, because the relationship between this Xinhui city is too important, and it must be put back under the control of the Qing army, and the Taiping army must not be allowed to occupy it for a long time, so as not to let the situation get out of control and attract Li Laohu, who had just left at the beginning of the year, to wave his troops again. But now it's not that he refuses to obey orders, but that King Pingnan doesn't order his generals at all, since this is the case, then it's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In his heart, Hu Guoguo wished that more soldiers of the Shang family would die, or even die, who would make Shang Kexi look down on him, and the governor who valued him couldn't pee in a pot with him. To put it mildly, this Guangdong is really going to lose the two feudal domains of Pingnan and Jingnan, and the first fierce general under the governor Hu Guoguo will really be able to rise to the top and show his ambitions!

In addition to the 3,000 elite soldiers directly under the Pingnan Wang's domain, there are 600 pacesetters in the Governor's Palace, 500 soldiers under the Jingnan Wang's domain, 4,000 soldiers stationed in the Guangzhou Green Battalion, 2,600 soldiers in the Guangzhou Prefecture Battalion, and more than 5,000 young and strong people mobilized by the Guangzhou Prefecture for the war. Pity. However, the army did not carry artillery, not because Shang Kexi, who was the most proficient in using firearms, was unwilling to bring artillery, but because he could not.

The number of artillery in the city of Guangzhou is not less than that of Xinhui City, there are dozens of Hongyi cannons weighing thousands of catties, most of these cannons are purchased from Macao by the original Ming Dynasty government, the charge and power are stronger than the cannons made by the former Ming Dynasty Ministry and Nanzhen Fusi, but unfortunately it is too heavy, and the Hongyi cannons at the head of Ningyuan City in general, can only be used to defend the city and can not be used for field battles. If these cannons had to be unloaded from the city and pulled to Xinhui, the time would have been greatly delayed. It didn't take a few days to bring the cannon in.

The cannons could not be pulled, but the small cannons used in the field brought a batch, including the tiger squat small cannon used by the Ming army, the big pole cannon, and the small cannon made for the Qing army after Kong Youde reduced the gold. The artillery battalion is a single battalion, with seventy or eighty small cannons of all kinds, and most of the gunners are from the Han military flag. However, now that the Taiping army is retreating in Xinhui City, there is no sign that they dare to go out of the city to fight, so these small cannons are useless.

The Green Battalion's first attack failed. Small cannons are not used, and until now, they can only fight with human lives, but fortunately, the Taiping army in the city seems to be the end of the crossbow. Otherwise, Shang Kexi would not have pressed his own soldiers, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, he Pingnan King is not a fool, if he can't even consume people's lives, he can't even take a battle. He's not going to fight. His old man is sure that as long as his soldiers are on board, this Xinhui City will definitely be broken!

As soon as the banner of King Pingnan came out, Lin Shanzhi's heart began to flutter. The green battalion failed to attack the city, losing thousands, as the commander of the army, he couldn't help but be frightened, who knows if King Pingnan would be angry and ask for his head.

After all, the loss of thousands of people at a time is an out-and-out defeat, of course, there are factors such as the fierce resistance of the Taiping army and the over-sturdiness of Xinhui City, but as a commanding general, it is not without mistakes in the battle, and the boss really wants to blame it, what can he do as a general, is it difficult to dare to shout grievances in front of King Pingnan, and put the responsibility for the defeat of the war on the prince.

Fortunately, the prince of Pingnan did not scold him, but this order to attack the city again also made Lin Shanzhi's heart break out, the corpses under the Xinhui city wall in front of him were piled high, and the morale of his subordinates had long been lost by the Taiping army, and it would be impossible to attack again, saying that he was not afraid.

"My lord, what should I do?"

Lin Shanzhi's subordinates, guerrilla Guo Guangquan, were reluctant to attack the city again, and when they attacked the city just now, his subordinates were at the forefront and suffered the heaviest losses. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Taiping Army in Xinhui City is definitely not a rabble of thieves, but a strong army that is at least not weaker than the Green Battalion, and the defense of the city is also very orderly. More than half of his soldiers have already suffered casualties, and if he really wants to pounce again, I am afraid that he will break the city, and his guerrilla attack will become a light pole.

Lin Shanzhi glared at Guo Guangquan, and said angrily: "What can I do, the prince is called to fight, let's fight!" ”

After speaking, his brows furrowed deeply, this time the king of Pingnan even sent his own soldiers, it can be seen that the prince is determined to seize Xinhui City, and their green battalion is very comfortable. The soldiers under the king of Pingnan regard themselves as the masters of the banner people on weekdays, and they are coaxing and arrogant to these green battalions, which will make them personally attack the city and spare the green battalion. King Pingnan's order was that his soldiers would attack the city in person, but if it really started, it wasn't for them that these green battalions rushed ahead, could it really be that those banner men could rush to the front line as cannon fodder!

Fuck it!

Lin Shanzhi scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't withdraw until now, so he could only press his brothers hard.

"My lord, we have to fight, but we can't really fight the brothers."

Guo Guangquan also knew that they would not be able to stop it, but he didn't want his subordinates to really fight and leave a guerrilla attack by himself.

"Huh?"

Lin Shanzhi raised his eyebrows, a little hesitant, wondering if he was secretly saving some strength, so as not to really lose it.

At this moment, the guards of the king of Pingnan came to give an order, and after the guards led by him arrived, they did not dismount, but shouted directly on the horse: "General Lin Bing, the king of Pingnan has an order, and he will not seal the sword after breaking the city!" The children in the city will get half of the wealth and green camp! ”

"Huh?! Don't seal the knife?! Take half! ”

This order made all the generals of the green camp stunned for a moment, and then someone's face turned red, Lin Shanzhi's sorrowful brows and careful thoughts were also swept away by this sentence, and he turned refreshed, and shouted to the left and right: "Have you heard it, King Pingnan said, after breaking the city, you will not seal the sword!" This is the gold mine that the prince rewarded us with in the green camp! Brothers, cheer up, even if you climb, you have to climb to the head of Xinhui City, break the city, let the brothers take it, and when the brothers are happy, Lao Tzu will be happy again! ”

When the generals of the green battalion heard Lin Shanzhi's rude words, they immediately shouted excitedly, most of them had experience in slaughtering the city, and knew that once the boss did not seal the knife, the fun after the city was broken, and then there would be no shortage of women and silver!

"Brothers, rush, take Xinhui City, let us pick and choose!"

As soon as a green battalion pulled out the sword, he rushed towards Xinhui City, and when he ran, all of a sudden, thousands of scattered battalion soldiers also rushed towards the city wall with shouts. (To be continued......)
