The city fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's faces were full of grief and indignation, and their fists were clenched tightly, and a momentum of death gradually reverberate.

Shengbao originally had nearly 30,000 troops, and with his own 4,000 remnants, he wanted to escape, almost nine deaths, and now there are tens of thousands of elites of Seng Lingqin, and everyone no longer has the intention of surviving.

"Hahahaha~~" A soldier suddenly laughed wildly: "Rabbit cubs, come if you have a kind, grandpa kills one is enough, and kills two to make money!" ”

"Hahahaha, come on, grandpa is waiting for you! Swear to live and die with Linqing! "The arrival of the reinforcements of the Qing army aroused the common hatred of the Taiping army, and everyone brandished their weapons and put on a posture waiting for you to attack.

Monk Greenqin frowned, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "This king has said a long time ago, there is no need to come here with such fanfare, cross the river at night and set up a position, and launch a general attack tomorrow morning, it is easy to capture the remnants of the bandits, but this is good, but it has aroused righteous indignation, and I am afraid that it will take more effort to break through Linqing."

It was Mianyu's idea to take the captives to demonstrate, but Monk Greenqin's words revealed a tone of old qualifications, making it clear that he looked down on him, the prince of peace, Mianyu was also a little unhappy, waved his hand and said: "The art of war is cloudy, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, attack Linqing, are there no casualties among the soldiers?" To coerce them, to lure them with profit, or to persuade the bandits to go out of the city and surrender, and then life and death are up to you and me. ”

Shengbao, who rushed over, hurriedly said in a round game: "Prince Hui is reasonable, we might as well give it a try, if the bandits don't surrender." It's not too late to bombard the city with heavy artillery, but I'm afraid that he will grow wings and fly? ”

Monk Greenqin's face looked better. Waved his hand: "Push up!" ”

The so-called escort is not all the captives. Instead, dozens of prisoner carts were escorted by the siege troops, slowly approaching Linqing.

Above the city, Su Sanniang also stretched out her hand and waved: "The Qing demon is up, let's see what they want to say first." ”

The noise stopped abruptly, and everyone looked down angrily.

The prisoner cart was mixed with artillery and siege equipment, and stopped more than a mile away from the city, Sheng Baoliang raised his voice and called: "Su Sanniang, you can't run away." Why don't you go out of the city and get down quickly? Or you may be spared the death penalty! ”

Lin Fengxiang in the prisoner car, but he opened his eyes violently and shouted: "It turned out to be Sanniang, it was me and Lao Li who hurt you, I shouldn't have listened to Brother Wang's good words, and insisted on going his own way. It also hurt Sanniang that you are in a desperate situation, God, why don't you open your eyes? ”

Li Kaifang also shouted: "Sanniang, take advantage of the fact that the Qing army has not yet closed the siege." Let's go, if you can go, you can go one by one, and you will have a chance to avenge us in the future! ”

"Hahahaha~~" Mianyu laughed loudly: "Revenge? Let's go in the next life! Su Sanniang. This king is numbered one, two, three, if you do not descend. Immediately behead Lin Li Er in the city! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's eyes showed some brilliance. You must know that the leader of the rebel army generally ends up with 500 knives alive, and if he is beheaded in the city, it is a quick death, a knife, although they are all tough guys, but who will have to go up without 500 knives? ”

Lin Fengxiang hurriedly shouted: "Sanniang, don't surrender, eighteen years later, Lao Tzu Lin Fengxiang is still a good man!" ”

Su Sanniang also figured out the key in an instant, gritted her teeth and said: "General Lin, General Li, brothers, Sanniang can't save you today, but as long as there is a breath of air, you will definitely wipe out the demons and avenge everyone, please rest assured to go!" ”

'Idiot, idiot! He didn't dare to imagine that there was such a fool in the world, and the bandits were not afraid of death, so what was the use of threatening death? On the contrary, it is early death and early liberation!

The so-called people are not afraid of death, so why are they afraid of death? The surrounding soldiers also showed strange colors in their eyes.

Mianyu may have realized the loophole in his words, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Escort down, escort down, send it to Beijing to be Ling Chi on the street, now this king orders, all-out attack!" ”

The herald looked at Monk Greenqin, who nodded slightly, and immediately waved his flag.

"Bang Bang~~" The cannon rumbled, shouting to kill the sky, a new round of siege began, this time, until dark, although it was still not broken, but the casualties of the Taiping army rose by nearly 1,000 people, and what was even worse was that the food could only be eaten until tomorrow, the bullets were less than 5,000 rounds, and the shells had all been exhausted.

It can be said that this is a real exhaustion, and tomorrow the Qing army will launch another attack, and Linqing will definitely not be able to hold it.

"Deputy Chief!" A wounded general cried out in a mournful voice: "Take advantage of the darkness, hurry up and take the brothers away, General Li is right, if you can run one by one, it is really a whole army, we will admit it, if you don't leave, wait until tomorrow dawn, it will be everyone's death!" ”

Lin Youniang also pulled Su Sanniang: "Master, whether you succeed or not, you have to try, tonight is our last chance to break through." ”

"Good!" Su Sanniang called loudly: "Everyone prepares, all the wounded are on their backs, and the whole army will go out of the south gate at twelve o'clock tonight!" ”

Another wounded man shouted: "Deputy chief, we can't go, if we leave, we will only drag you down, and in the end none of us will be able to leave, please take the uninjured brothers and sisters and leave on their own." ”

"No! If you want to die, everyone will die together, and no one can give up! Tang Caifang immediately broke off and snorted!

"Miss Tang, we have received your wishes!" Among the wounded, all those who could kneel knelt down one after another, and one of them said loudly: "We are not afraid of death, but because we have dragged everyone down, it is difficult for us to look down under Jiuquan, deputy chief, as long as we leave each of us a knife, we can fight for a few of our mother's and then break it by ourselves, if the deputy chief does not allow it, we will die now!" ”

Su Sanniang brought out all her descendants, from Gaozhou, Guangdong all the way to the war, until Hong Xiuquan persuaded to join the Taiping Army, there were nearly 10,000 men and women, but in the three years of hard fighting, only more than 6,000 people remained.

This time when he went north to Tianjin, more than 2,000 were killed in the battle of Linqing alone, and nearly 1,000 were injured and lost their combat effectiveness, that is to say, only 3,000 people had the ability to move and could break through, and among these 3,000 people, 300 people could survive.

If she can exchange her own death for other people's lives, Su Sanniang will not hesitate, if the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance can persuade her again, she will also lead the team back, but there is no if in the world.

Su Sanniang looked at it one by one, there were men and women among the wounded, some of them had half of their bodies with blurred flesh and blood, some were injured in arms and legs, and some were injured in more than one place.

"Plop", Su Sanniang couldn't help but kneel down, she never shed tears, tears finally covered her face, giving up her comrades-in-arms, which not only made her ashamed, but also made her heartache, but at this time, she could only shake off her tears and cry: "I, Su Sanniang, can't stand everyone!" Woo woo woo~~"

"Plop! Thump! The soldiers behind Su Sanniang also knelt down one after another, their faces full of tears.

"Deputy manager, if there is an afterlife, we will still be your subordinates, please rest assured!" There was a lot of crying in the camp, and a wave of grief and resentment rose to the sky!

Su Sanniang took a few breaths hard, arched her hand violently, and left quickly, she felt that even if she stayed for a second longer, she would change her mind, because reason told her that although it was cruel to give up the captivity, it was the only choice!

When the hands of the pocket watch were fixed at twelve o'clock, three thousand people had gathered under the south gate, and three thousand people had five thousand bullets, which meant that each person could not even fire two shots, and they had to resist the artillery fire of the Qing army with flesh and blood.

At this moment, Su Sanniang threw away all her feelings, like a machine person, and said in a tone without human feelings: "Linqing is located in the plain, outside the city from the southwest to the northeast is the Wei Canal, from the southeast to the northwest is the ancient canal, in the north of the city converge into the Zhanghe River, so we only have one way to the south, the Qing army will inevitably be strictly guarded, considering that the Qing army has a large number of Mongolian cavalry, if we are scattered, we can only be cut down one by one, so our formation must not be messed up, everyone listen to my orders, go!" ”

"Kalala~~" The city gate slowly opened, and the warriors left the city.

The topography of Linqing is relatively special, limited by the Wei Canal, the ancient canal and the Mahun River, forming a triangle that opens to the south, in the north of it is the Zhangwei River, and the river is Hebei, so Su Sanniang knew that it would be very dangerous to capture the city, but had to seize it, otherwise when it was halfway through, the defenders in the city would kill from behind, which would bring disastrous consequences, but he did not expect that Shengbao would come so quickly, and he did not even give the opportunity to leave the city the next day, so he forcibly crossed the river at night and surrounded the city.

In the middle of the night at the end of February, it was warm and cold, there was no wind between the heavens and the earth, the air seemed to be viscous, the formation of the Taiping army was similar to a loose circle formation, and the cavalry could protect each other in case of cavalry impact, and when the Qing army attacked with guns, it could be dispersed, but the role of the circle formation was based on the fact that the strength of the two sides was not much different, and the formation composed of 3,000 weak soldiers faced more than ten times their own elite division, and no one had a bottom in their hearts.

But with the conditions of the Taiping army, they can only form a circular formation, and the strong attack of the sharp arrows, fish scales and other formations require rapid mobility, and Su Sanniang's men are mainly foot soldiers, if there are enough cavalry, they may have already broken out of the encirclement.

No one in the formation spoke, all of them hurried vigilantly, although intellectually they knew that the Qing army would inevitably appear somewhere in front, but emotionally, they hoped that a miracle would happen, including Su Sanniang, they all had a trace of illusion!
