The infantry of the Qing army brigade arrived at the foot of Shunxiang Fort.

Beside Wang Dou, Han Chao, Han Zhong, Wen Fangliang, Sun Sanjie, Zhong Tiaoyang, Lin Daofu, Fu Chi Dacheng and others were all standing solemnly, and they also stared at the rolling Qing army. When the great enemy came, they calmed down again, and as it was, the next thing was to defend.

Han Chao carefully looked at the banner of the Qing soldiers outside the city. After a long time, he spoke up: "One dragon recommendation, two armor la poison, Dongnu estimates that there are 3,000 troops, led by a banner lord or Baylor." The black-tasseled three-pointed dragon steamed two poles, and it is estimated that there are two flags of the red tasseled soldiers, looking at the number of poles of their black tassel banners, each flag is estimated to be about 1,000 people, and the information of the Wen brothers is not wrong. ”

Wang Dou nodded, five thousand Qing soldiers, and then Shunxiang Fort will usher in a few days of hard fighting, and with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Dou knew that there must be no reinforcements from outside, so he could only rely on himself.

Those Qing soldiers slowly gathered outside the south of the city. It seems that they also knew that this place was the ideal place to siege and camp. It is not far west from the south of the city. There were several small streams and a river called Yaozigou, and although the Qing soldiers had an army of 5,000 men, it was enough for them to drink water.

It's not as good as that a few days ago. After the arrival of this group of Qing soldiers, they immediately dug trenches and set up camp a few miles south of the city, and there were a large number of Qing soldiers who went out to carry water and make food, and there was a lot of noise. Soon. A large area of camp tents slowly appeared in the eyes of the Shunxiang army at the head of the city.

When the Qing soldiers were camping, the huge gold-weaving dragon was slowly coming to the head of Shunxiang Fort. Then he stayed a mile south of the city, and stayed there motionless.

Under the dragon curtain, Abatai is dressed in gold armor. He sat on his horse and looked carefully at the city. Beside him, the Gushan Ezhen Omubu Chuhuer of the Tumut Right Banner, and the Gushan Ezhen Shanba of the Tumut Left Banner also rode their horses. Behind the trio. It is a few Jialazhangjing with white flags, and the two generals of Mongolia outside the banner. And that Jialazhang Jingyanzha.

Behind these people, there were dense white baya soldiers and Kabush soldiers, in addition to a large number of elite horse armor guards.

Abatai looked at the city for a long time, and saw that the Ming army in the city was all in full array, he said: "A small city of thousands of households, it is really well defended, but such a small fort, even if there is a new fort in the northwest of the fort, it is only four miles in a week, and there are no more than a thousand soldiers, how did I let the Qing warriors lose their troops?" ”

The two Mongolian banner lords beside him were also groaning, and only the Qing generals behind them looked at the city and were eager to try. Najia Lazhang Jingyan blushed and shouted: "If you don't believe it, you can try to attack the city yourself!" ”

Abatai stopped their quarrel, and after a long silence, he said, "Go back to the camp to discuss the matter." ”

On this day, Shunxiang Fort has been on strict guard, but the Qing soldiers have not attacked the city for a long time, and since the afternoon, they have seen the Qing soldiers of the brigade go out on foot. Later, the soldiers and civilians of Shunxiang Fort heard the faint sound of dysprosium and cannons around the area, and they did not know which castles the Qing soldiers were raiding around.

Wang Dou and others judged that the Qing soldiers should capture the Tunbao military fort of Wubao near Shunxiang Fort, and in the evening, they saw that the Qing soldiers of the brigade followed the army and escorted many captive Ming people back to the camp. Those Ming people have a male one" They stumbled just with the escorted Qing Ping, and with this person who was old and had to be a pastor, those Qing soldiers unceremoniously whipped with leather whips.

Listening to the cries under the city and the triumphant laughter of the Qing soldiers, the Shunxiang army at the head of the city was full of anger, but it was not as good as the last time, no matter how outstanding the combat power of the Shunxiang army was, it was impossible for Wang Dou to let them go out of the city to fight in the field and recapture the captured Jingsheng. The Shunxiang Fort was strictly guarded, and all the defenders were forbidden to go out.

This day passed like this, and the Qing soldiers did not come to steal the city at night, which made Wang Dou and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Just thinking of the captive people outside the city and the looted wealth, everyone in Shunxiang Fort is like this.

The seventeenth body of July in the ninth year of Chongzhen, early in the morning.

The horn of the Qing army camp under the city sounded continuously, and a group of Qing soldiers rode out of the camp and slowly converged in front of the camp.

Wang Dou and the others looked from the head of the city, and saw that the Qing soldiers had two armors, and the Mongolian army of the two banners had been exhausted, and they were solemnly arrayed outside the city, and in the middle of the front of the Qing soldiers, there was the huge golden weaving dragon forest of Abatai, which followed around his dragon poison. There are countless sea of red and white flags again.

Soon, the horn of the Qing soldiers sounded again. Then he turned his horse back, and when Abatai heard the news, he was surprised and angry at the same time.

Soon, there was a burst of noise and cries from the side of the Qing army, but it was a large group of Qing soldiers escorting the Ming people captured yesterday to this side. Those people were whipped, they cried to the city, many of them were clearly the local accent of Baoanzhou, but they didn't know which one in the territory, Tunbao Minbao.

The group of Qing soldiers was triumphant, just escorting the people to this side, and the faces of the Shunxiang army at the head of the city were very ugly.

Wang Dou Leng snorted, it's this move again. Wang Dou said coldly to Han Zhong: "Go and bring up those captured shoes!" ”

He commanded Han Zhong a few times, and Han Zhong led loudly. The stride meteor went.

In front of the defenders of the city, the Qing soldiers killed the captives one by one, ignoring their struggles and pleadings, and also picked up a baby girl on the tip of the spear, and the baby girl did not die for a while, but cried loudly.

The Shunxiang army in the city was stunned, and the Qing soldiers under the city were abusing and laughing loudly at the city, and the more the Ming army in the city was angry and scolding, the happier they were.

Suddenly they were silent, and they all stared blankly at the city

But I saw a burst of terrible screams from the head of the city, with occasional Manchurian screams and howls, and then I saw ten naked Qing soldiers prisoners being erected high, their limbs, hands and feet were pierced by thick iron nails, nailed to a tall wooden frame, one wooden frame per person, and ten people surrounded a large circle along the semicircle of the urn city.

They howled in pain, and the more they struggled, the more they were pierced by the thick nails of their hands and feet. The more blood flowed out, and they screamed in Manchurian, begging the Qing soldiers under the city to rescue them.

Defending the urn city and the city wall on the right side is Sun Sanjie's outpost, and when he saw those Qing troops rushing towards him, he said softly: "It's a good time." ”

He shouted the order, and immediately the fire and dysprosium armor team at the rear post stood behind him, and they were divided into two rows. When the seven or eight Qing soldiers rushed close to forty paces. Sun Sanjie gave an order, and the deafening fire roared, and the twenty-five fire soldiers in the first row fired at those Qing soldiers together.

One by one, the Qing soldiers were shot and rolled to the ground, and the second round of fire commanders fired another volley. The smoke of gunpowder cleared, and all the Qing soldiers under the city were killed on the ground, and the one who had to share it was wide open. He had been shot seven times, blood was pouring out of his body, and he was too dead to die.

watched those Qing soldiers being killed one by one under the city. The Shunxiang soldiers in the city cheered again.

The Qing army under the city was silent, and while they were angry, the power of the Shunxiang Fort Fire Mirror also shocked them.

Aba was originally extremely angry, but when he saw the situation in the city, he calmed down, and the Ming army in the city was really not trivial, and he had to be cautious. However, breaking through Shunxiang Fort and killing all of them, the thoughts of the Ming people inside are unstoppable, and a vicious battle is inevitable!

Seeing that the morale of the Qing soldiers under the city was low, Wang Dou and the others laughed loudly, and Wang Dou instructed his subordinates not to cut the flesh of the Qing soldiers on the wooden frame, so that they could suffer more torture and pain, and more effectively deter the shoe soldiers under the city.

Listening to the sound of the horn outside the city, Wang Dou knew that a bloody battle was about to begin, this battle was not trivial, it would be even bloodier and more tragic than the previous few days, whether he was alive or not, until the last moment of his life, he would fight to the end to protect the city.

He came to the bottom of the city tower and stepped on his war horse, Han Chao. Han Zhong, Wen Fangliang, Sun Sanjie, Zhong Tiaoyang, Lin Daofu, Chi Dacheng and others also stepped on the war horse and followed behind Wang Dou. Wang Dou rode slowly on the city wall, many horses. The sound of numerous horses' hooves tapping on the green brick slabs.

Facing Wang Dou's gaze, there were rows of straight Shunxiangbao sergeants, who clenched the fire system and spear in their hands, and just looked at Wang Dou with a firm gaze, and they showed Wang Dou with their eyes (). They will definitely follow in Wang Dou's footsteps. Fight with him to the end. On the city wall, there are also a dense group of auxiliary soldiers, they also look at Wang Dou with admiration, and under the city, they are also densely packed with people, there are auxiliary soldiers and young people, and there are also strong women who are organized in the castle, they also look at Wang Dou with expectant eyes.

Look at these simple faces. Among them, there were men and women, old and young, Wang Dou's eyes were a little moist, and the soldiers and sergeants in these forts. In the ensuing battle, I don't know how many people will die, but the eldest husband would rather die standing than live on his knees. Alive. It's better to die in a vigorous battle!

His voice fluttered above and below the city: "You all know, what those shoes are in the city, they are a bunch of beasts who kill people without blinking, if they are killed into the city, everyone knows what will happen." I am invincible in this battle. Everyone needs to fight to the end. The sergeants are dead, and the auxiliaries are strong! The auxiliary soldiers are all dead, and the men in the fort are on! The men in the fort are dead, and the fort is served".

He jerked out his blow and shouted, "Victory!" ”

"Victory! Win! Victory".

The sound of victory from the mountains to the sea is higher than the wave, and the whole Shunxiang is true.

The sound came from far outside the city, and the Qing soldiers outside the city all looked at Shunxiang Fort in surprise.

When Abatai and the others outside the city heard this, they all looked solemn.
