The Qing army retreated, and Zheng Xinguo, who had been tense and nervous, suddenly relaxed and leaned on the women's wall tiredly.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, and it's really tiring. For a quarter of an hour, he did not dare to be distracted, for fear that the enemy would break through the city.

Even if he was so tired, Zheng Xinguo dragged his tired body to stand up and began to inspect his subordinates.

There is such a disadvantage of being a boss, you have to continue working when someone else has a break from work.

Zheng Xinguo walked around the city wall and listened to Lin Xishan's casualty report.

Sadly, even with the advantage of defending the city, the ratio of casualties between friend and foe was still 1 to 2.

The Qing army, not counting the ordinary people who were captured, suffered 449 casualties. Our army was not lightly wounded, and the casualties were nearly 1,000.

Looking at the number of casualties, Zheng Xinguo somewhat understood why the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty had no backbone to fight for the enemy.

Whoever knows that his own soldiers and horses are so unreliable that he has no confidence that he can defeat the enemy.

However, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty will decay like this, and who caused it, and it was not caused by these civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, who deducted military salaries and defrauded and oppressed soldiers.

It's all like this, and whoever steps on a horse will give you his life.

Various reasons caused the end of the Ming Dynasty, the armament was relaxed, and there was no military heart, and as soon as there was any trouble, the camp was immediately bombed.

On the other hand, the Manchu army in this period was the strongest, almost all of them were veterans of a hundred battles, experienced and murderous.

It is not surprising that the battle was fought like this, and the difference in the proportion of casualties was huge.

The sun is gradually setting, and the sky is getting dark!

Under the arrangement of the magistrate, those young men were busy making fires and cooking.

On the city wall, the guards were all huddled together in twos and threes to rest.

In war, if you care about survival and killing the enemy, you can't care about anything else.

Now relieved, looking at the wailing wounded soldiers, many of the soldiers had fear in their eyes. Even the meal time, which should have been lively, was dull.

Seeing that the morale of the Zheng family army was low, Zheng Xinguo knew that he had to think of a way, otherwise he would desert a lot of soldiers on his side if he didn't wait for the Qing army to attack again.

At this time, it is more true and reliable to say that there is no practical benefit to say.

Zheng Xinguo stood on the high platform, looked at his subordinates, and shouted; "I'm glad you didn't run away. Lao Tzu did what he said, and someone came to bring me the silver. The killer will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the dead and wounded will be rewarded with five taels! The living will take it himself, and the dead will be sent to his house. Lao Tzu assures you that you will never be greedy for ink. Everyone can supervise! ”

Hearing that there was a reward, the originally dull soldier suddenly came back to his senses.

is working hard, not for the money, but for the sake of living.

looked at those who had killed the Qing army, and they really received the silver. The rest of the people who didn't suddenly forgot the fear of death.

In these years, the least valuable thing is life. For the sake of silver, let alone risking your life. As long as he is willing to give silver, the emperor dares to chop it.

The money was sent down, and he personally delivered the bounties of the dead soldiers to their homes in front of the people.

Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor was so trustworthy, these soldiers immediately felt that it was worth working for him!

Tens of thousands of taels of silver were scattered, and Zheng Xinguo finally knew why war was a game of burning money, and knew that what war was about logistics.

You, if you fight a few more wars like this, you can only go to be a cowherd and sell yourself.

After calming the morale, Zheng Xinguo couldn't rest yet, and he had to take his own soldiers to inspect the city defense.

In order to prevent the sneak attack of the Qing army, countless torches were erected on the city wall.

However, the Qing army probably ran for a day and was tired.

There was no night attack, so Zheng Xinguo survived the night.

In the early morning, Zheng Xinguo was woken up by a burst of drums and trumpets, and hurriedly stood up, only to see that the Qing army outside the city had assembled at this time and was ready to attack the city.

A fierce battle began at the head of Anping City, and this time the siege was even more fierce than yesterday, and every inch of the entire Anping city wall was subjected to severe tests by storms and rains.

What's worse is that because of the role of those corrupt officials, most of the armaments of the Ming Dynasty have great quality problems.

After firing a few times in a row, the crossbow tendons of those soldiers had already broken.

Zheng Zhilong was bent on surrendering, and Anping City did not have many firearms.

There are no ranged attack weapons, and in the fierce battle for half a day, the boiling oil and hard stones are also exhausted.

The siege came to the fiercest battle for the city.

The waves of Qing army attacks came in waves, and in many places, it took three or four Zheng soldiers for each Zheng army to withstand one Qing soldier.

Trampling on the sea of corpses and blood under the city, the first batch of Qing troops finally landed on the top of the city, and the Zheng family army defending the city suddenly increased the pressure and stubbornly resisted to the death.

The Zheng army had the advantage of being outnumbered and defending the city, while the Qing army had skilled battle formation skills and cooperation.

The two sides started a white-knuckle battle at the head of the city, and a fierce battle began.

Countless sharp weapons are slashing and killing, the two sides of the fierce battle gritted their teeth, bleeding profusely, there are swords and swords everywhere, and the human body on the head of the city is soon also fortified, and the two sides step on the human body of the wounded and dead to continue to fight, and the screams are continuous.

Zheng Xinguo's side was the focus of the Qing army's attack, and his personal troops were guarding Zheng Xinguo and fighting to the death with the Qing army!

In this battle, the soldiers showed incomparable tenacity and tenacity, fought back to the death, were unstoppable, and repelled the Qing army many times.

Zheng Xinguo stood under the banner of the word "Zheng", unswerving.

The soldiers persuaded the governor to leave, and Zheng Xinguo waved his hand to let them come forward to resist.

Zheng Xinguo knew that he was there, the Zheng family was handsome, and the defenders of Anping could still hold on, once they ran away, these soldiers would be defeated immediately.

Seeing that the Anping defenders did not retreat, the Qing army commander Erduotai was a little annoyed and angry.

Although there were more casualties in the siege than in their own homes, the Han people had a large population and could train tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at any time.

The Manchu Qing had a small population. Once the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty died in battle, the time it took to retrain was enormous.

Can't continue to consume like this, Erduotai's eyes were cold, and he shouted: "The city breaks the big rope for three days, capture Zheng Chenggong alive, reward a thousand gold, and promote the official to the next level!" ”

Ordotai's orders were passed down layer by layer, and under this stimulus, the morale of the Qing army was reinvigorated.

Soon after, some Qing soldiers began to shout "slaughter the city".

This slogan made them excited, and the stimulation brought to these people by the slaughter of the city seemed to be no less than a reward of a thousand gold.

The Qing army launched more fierce attacks, and several times they were about to break through the city and kill in front of Zheng Xinguo.

In two consecutive days of fierce fighting, Anping's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and of the 6,000 soldiers before the battle, only more than 3,000 remained.

At this time, there was a shortage of soldiers to defend the city, and there was no new force to plug the gap.

A Tartar with a knife climbed to the top of the city, just cut a personal soldier to the ground, and saw so many people protecting Zheng Xinguo before.

There was a greedy look in his eyes, so many people were protecting him, he must be a big official. Chop off his head to invite merit, and he will definitely be rewarded.

In order to plug the gap in the city, Zheng Xinguo's personal soldiers were all sent out, and there was no guard around him at this time.

The tartar rushed over, screamed, and slashed down with a great sword. Zheng Xinguo has nowhere to hide, and he can't dodge. Looking at the blade with cold light, Zheng Xinguo shouted wildly in his heart: "I can't die, I haven't lived enough!" ”

At this dying moment, Zheng Xinguo grabbed the sword with both hands and flashed past the Tartar.

The Tartar slashed his neck, and suddenly blood splattered, and he held his neck and carried it down on his back.

Zheng Xinguo held the sword, his double paint was soft, he almost fell to his knees, and hurriedly used the sword to the ground, so as to stabilize his body.

His face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the sour juice in his stomach came up, and he just wanted to vomit.

Frightened, Lin Xishan suddenly hacked the surrounding Tartars like a tiger descending the mountain, hurriedly killed, and shouted: "Governor, it's okay!" ”

Zheng Xinguo hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, go and kill the enemy!" ”

Seeing that the Governor was not injured, and the battle at the head of the city was tense, Lin Xishan could only turn over and continue to kill the enemy.

Zheng Xinguo gasped for breath and suppressed the fear.

In the war, he saw too many dead people, and Zheng Xinguo's guilt for killing people was much lighter.

The battle was tense, and after Zheng Xinguo recovered, he also yelled and rushed forward.

Seeing that most of the governors had personally gone into battle and fought side by side, the Anping soldiers were in high spirits for a while, and each raised their weapons to rush towards the Qing army.

The Qing army was killed by a rush, could no longer resist, and retreated from the city.
