Hong Chengchou arranged the city defenses of the city and waited for the Ming army to attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The city wall is thick and the defense facilities are perfect, which should be able to block the attack of the Ming army, but Hong Chengchou is still a little apprehensive, mainly because the Ming army broke through the inner city is too weird, according to the Qing soldiers who fled into the inner city, it seems that the earth dragon turned over and destroyed a large section of the city wall, and the Ming army entered the city. Hong Chengchou absolutely doesn't believe in this kind of ghost and god words, so what means does Ren Siqi have to drive the earth dragon to turn over, and since it is the earth dragon that turns over, it will definitely collapse a large number of city walls and buildings, why did only that city wall collapse?

With deep worries, Hong Chengchou ordered his heart to keep an eye on the movements of the Ming army, although he didn't understand why the Ming army easily broke through the inner city, but he firmly believed that as long as they didn't easily get close to the city wall, they would have nothing to do with the city wall!

When Hong Chengchou ordered his subordinates to wait for the Green Battalion and Eight Banners, the expected attack was delayed, and it was dusk, seeing that the Ming army would not launch a siege today, Hong Chengchou went back to the big tent to rest.

After a hasty dinner, just about to take a nap, suddenly his confidant staff member Zhao Xingfang broke in in a panic.

"Brother Zixin, what's wrong?" Hong Chengchou lifted the quilt on his body and jumped out of bed.

"It's not good to make a big deal!" Zhao Xingfang no longer had the elegance and calmness of the past, his face was full of panic, and he trembled and handed the paper in his hand to Hong Chengchou.

Zhao Xingfang has always been Hong Chengchou's staff, and after the defeat of Tashan, he descended to the Manchu Qing Dynasty with Hong Chengchou, and won Hong Chengchou's trust. The two can be said to be tied together.

Seeing Zhao Xingfang so out of shape, Hong Chengchou also realized the seriousness of the gaffe, so he came to watch it carefully.

"Inform the defenders of the Green Battalion in the city:

For Kuang Fu Ming Chamber, to expel the Tartars,

I Chongming Army Governor Ren Siqi specially sent someone to invite Maoshan Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Tianshi has been cultivating for more than 30 years, refining the Haoran Five Thunder Dharma Divine Power, which can lead to the Nine Heavens Xuanlei.

At noon today, the West City of Nanjing was broken by Zhang Tianshi Xuanlei. You and other green battalion soldiers, originally my Ming people, most of them are Ming soldiers who have eaten my Ming army's salary for many years, but they betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, surrendered to the Tartars, and harmed the people. If you talk about your sins, you should all be struck by divine thunder, but God has the virtue of a good life, and the governor of the capital is merciful, and he will give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to your crimes.

Whoever opens the gates of the city and surrenders before dawn tomorrow will be blamed for the past! Anyone who kills the Eight Banners will be rewarded with silver and promoted to be reused.

Those who captured the traitor Hong Chengchou alive were rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and appointed as the general of the Chongming Army! ”

Hong Chengchou only looked pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and when he read one and then looked at the next, it was all like this.

Although the Ming army's strategy was simple, it was very vicious, and it completely hit Hong Chengchou's weakness. Hong Chengchou completely scoffed at what Zhang Tianshi Five Thunder Fa and the like claimed on the flyer, Zhang Tianshi he hadn't seen it, or an ordinary Taoist who couldn't be ordinary anymore, and he would be a fart of the Five Thunder Fa! But he knows that it doesn't mean that ordinary green battalion soldiers know, with the Ming army breaking the city today, for example, the vast majority of green battalion soldiers are probably convinced of the fact that the Ming army will drive the Five Thunder Righteous Law. would have thought that the Ming army had the means to easily attack the city wall, how could they have the confidence to defend it?

When the city wall is definitely unable to hold, the green battalion soldiers in the city will inevitably have strange thoughts. Hong Chengchou, who has commanded the army for many years and has experienced many sieges, naturally understands what these green battalion soldiers under his command think, since they will surrender to the Qing Dynasty in order to survive, when the Ming army promises not to pursue past crimes, it will inevitably not be excluded to return to the Ming rule. If you defend the city, you will die, and if you surrender the city, you will live well, such a choice is not difficult to make!

"What should we do?" Zhao Xingfang looked at Hong Chengchou with anticipation, hoping that his owner would come up with an idea to turn the situation around.

"Did you send someone to collect the leaflets?" Hong Chengchou forced himself to calm down and asked.

"I've already let people go, but the leaflets of the Ming army are shooting from outside the city, it's overwhelming, everywhere, where are they confiscated!" Zhao Xingfang cried with a sad face.

"Pass the order, order Zhang Tianlu, the chief soldier of the Green Battalion, He Shouxin, the deputy general, and the officers of the Green Battalion above the general to come to the meeting!" Hong Chengchou ordered.

As long as the generals of the green battalion are controlled in their hands, they are not afraid of the small soldiers below making trouble. However, will those Green Battalion generals still receive orders to come?

On the gate of Xi'an, Zhang Tianlu, the chief soldier of the green battalion, was sending people to collect the leaflets shot from under the city, but there were too many from under the city, and many ordinary soldiers hid them after picking them up and refused to hand them over, so his own soldiers had many conflicts with ordinary soldiers.

Looking at the gloomy eyes of many soldiers, Zhang Tianlu suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He has more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers under his command, but half of them are later under his command, and the ones who can really be trusted are only more than 300 personal soldiers in his hands.

Zhang Tianlu had already read the content of the leaflet, and he was suspicious of the Ming army's Five Thunder Righteous Law Generals, although he had not seen any Five Thunder Righteous Law with his own eyes, but after all, the city wall was easily broken through by the Ming army. If the Ming army can break the inner city wall, it can break the full city, and Zhang Tianlu is convinced of this. But even so, he had doubts about surrendering, he was not an ordinary green battalion soldier, he had committed too many crimes, and he didn't think that Ren Siqi would let him go easily. Think about Li Chengdong and Liu Zeqing, there are already many former Ming army generals who fell into the hands of Ren Siqi, which one has been easily forgiven?

Zhang Tianlu was originally one of the eight general soldiers under Huang Degong, the prince of Yasukuni, and Ma Degong and others surrendered to the Wuhu defense line collapsed, and then enabled the Azig army to come to the city of Nanjing, after surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Tianlu actively suppressed the Ming army in various places, Longwu appointed the governor of Huining Chi Taisi Prefecture Jin Sheng's army was he led the troops to exterminate, and Jin Sheng himself was personally captured and killed in Nanjing. So Zhang Tianlu thinks that if he surrenders, he will definitely not end well!

Just when Zhang Tianlu was worried and hurried, he received an order from Hong Chengchou, ordering him to take the officers above the general level to the big tent to discuss matters. When Zhang Tianlu sent his own soldiers to convey Hong Chengchou's orders, to his surprise, almost half of the generals did not obey the military orders to join him.

Zhang Tianlu knew that things were not good, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pay attention to the changes in the army at all times, and he himself took more than ten generals to Hong Chengchou's tent.

At the critical moment, Hong Chengchou made a stupid move, he thought that he could control all the green battalion soldiers by controlling the officers above the general level, but he didn't expect that there would be many officers who refused to obey the order. Send someone to arrest it, it will definitely cause chaos in the army, and if you don't ask, you are afraid that they will open the city gate without permission. So far, Ren is Hong Chengchou is cunning and at a loss.

It's over, I can't hold it, Hong Chengchou has such an understanding in his heart.
