Dolgon calculated that Li Xin's light car Jian could not afford to drag it, so he did not intend to pay attention to Li Xin's siege of Jinzhou, and still single-mindedly attacked the Qiantun guard of Guangning, bent on capturing Hong Chengchou. In yesterday's battle, the Ming army suddenly returned to the light and broke out with amazing combat effectiveness, and did not hesitate to sacrifice their own people to sprinkle the entire east city wall with fire oil, burning a raging fire, burning hundreds of Han soldiers to death at once, and thus blocking the offensive of the Qing army in Dongcheng.

Dolgon felt that he had underestimated Hong Chengchou's ability, and he hadn't seen that he was so determined and resourceful before, which made him even more interested in this person, and he couldn't wait to meet this person. Speaking of which, unlike most of the Manchu princes, Dolgon was only interested in people, especially those with a skill, who were all vying to loot gold and silver treasures after the city was breached.

Therefore, a strict order was issued that Hong Chengchou and his people must be captured alive, and the reward for capturing this person first was 1,000 taels. With the reward of a thousand taels of gold, not only the Han army in the siege army was red-eyed, but even the Eight Banners armor soldiers were eager to charge into battle, but because of the military order, they had to live behind the Han army. After all, seven or eight out of ten of the besieging infantry were cannon fodder, and the vast majority of them died on the way to the city.

More than half of the dozens of ladders were burned down in the first battle yesterday, and they could not be built overnight, so the casualties in today's siege are even worse. However, the Han soldiers did not lose their morale because of this, but instead flocked to the Qiantun wall of Quang Ninh like a tide to the sound of rumbling war drums.

Today, the Hongyi cannons in the city have become dumb, and Dolgon is even more relieved, knowing that the gunpowder and cannonballs of the Ming army have been exhausted, and he believes that he will be able to break through the city today and capture that Hong Chengchou alive.

Only a dozen or so ladders were concentrated at the southern city wall, and the Han soldiers climbed the city wall from the ladders under the protection of the protective board, which soon plunged the southern city wall of the former guard of Quang Ninh into a melee.

Seeing the Han soldiers like ants and locusts continuously climbing the Qiantun guard city wall in Guangning, suddenly Dolgon's brows jumped for no reason. As if to verify his unprovoked palpitations, flames suddenly rose from the distant city wall. A hint of ominous premonition suddenly hit my heart, and it was not good that the Ming army was going to repeat the old tricks again.

Sure enough, as the flames flared, a raging fire suddenly broke out on the southern city wall, and the soldiers of the Ming and Qing dynasties on the city wall were engulfed by the fire snake in the blink of an eye. Looking at the raging fire that suddenly burned on the city wall, Dolgon felt that his lips were dry, he really didn't expect Hong Chengchou to be so spicy, and he even set fire to everyone regardless of the life and death of his own soldiers.

Nancheng, as the main direction of attack, concentrated all the cloud ladders, and was drenched in fire oil at once, and it was also swallowed by the fire, and it was too late to retreat. Although other directions also launched attacks on the three city walls, they were only a feint attack by the general Cheng dù, and without a large Seiko ladder, the siege was extremely difficult. How could Dolgon tolerate the victory in his hand being destroyed in an instant, he gritted his teeth and ordered all the Han troops to concentrate on attacking Dongcheng, not only that, but even the Eight Banners armor soldiers who were supervising the battle behind were sent up. All the long ladders were lifted out, and almost all the Qing troops rushed to the east city wall, and the defenders of the east wall of the Ming army did not expect that after the success of the fire plan in the southern city, it actually provoked a more fierce attack by the Qing army.

The Qing army attacked the city wall in one go, which was far beyond Hong Chengchou's expectations, according to expectations, the Qing army should have been blocked and weakened after the sudden fire attack. However, it backfired, and the Qing army broke out with a more powerful and unprecedented combat effectiveness, and there was a great posture of not giving up until the front guard of Guangning was captured.

"Ministry, the Qing army in Dongcheng is so powerful that it can't stand it! Hurry up and break through! ”

Cao Bianjiao's urging voice sounded in his ears again, and a trace of despair flashed in Hong Chengchou's mind, but his heart was even more determined, he couldn't just give up, he had held out for so long, and now he hadn't reached the Jedi, he still had a chance to survive.

"Mr. Cao!"

"Mark it in!" Cao Bianjiao saw that Hong Chengchou seemed to have made up his mind, and he thought that this bold ministry would choose to break through, but who knew that the order he got made him dumbfounded.

"Draw out your Yanling knife and go to the city with the headquarters to kill the enemy, the city is here, and the city is dead!"

Hong Chengchou once again pulled out his Yanling knife and killed the city wall, Cao Bianjiao's eyes moistened once, but a literati in the ministry had such determination, which was rare in the world, and made people awe-inspired.

"Ministry, wait for the mark!"

But Hong Chengchou had wind under his feet and rushed straight to the city wall. Cao Bianjiao's eyes were full of admiration, but in Hong Chengchou's eyes, they were all bitter, the literati were in and out of the phase, focusing on a Confucian character, a lupine scarf, and strategizing, but it was not like now, carrying a Yanling knife, like a martial artist, and fighting in battle.

In the final analysis, it was all his greed, if he had fought steadily after taking the front guard of Guangning, and after strengthening the defense line in this area, he would repair all the nearby forts and garrison heavy troops, instead of only picking up key forts to repair and advance lightly as before, then he fell into the Tartars' plan to lure the enemy.

At this moment, no matter how stupid Hong Chengchou is, he understands that the attention of the Tartars is to lure the enemy deeper, and then encircle and annihilate him. At present, it seems that the intention of the Tartar is initially realized, he Hong Chengchou is the governor of the four sides, the highest official in western Liaoning, and there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers around him.

Although his heart has long been cold and thorough, he must not give up the hope of defending the city, and the Yanling knife in his hand is waved indiscriminately, and it is a piece of flesh and blood. The Yanling knife in his hand was specially made, different from the standard saber of ordinary Ming soldiers, tough and sharp, sharpened like clay, and the tartar was caught off guard when he was suddenly encountered.

However, Hong Chengchou rushed too violently under the agitation of his heart, and the distance between him and the guards around him widened a lot. After killing several Tartars in a row, he suddenly found himself in a siege. Several steel knives were chopped down together, Hong Chengchou was frightened, and subconsciously raised the knife to resist, but how could he block the power of several steel knives with one hand, and suddenly felt that his arm was sore, and his right hand involuntarily let go, and the Yanling knife flew in response.

Hong Chengchou's head banged, his heart was half cold, and his heart was finished, but he didn't want to be killed lightly, and in a hurry, the whole person lay down and rolled backwards, and several steel knives were cut into the air, smashing on the rammed earth city wall as hard as rock, stirring up bursts of sparks.

After the Tartar soldiers fell short, they knew that the reckless man in front of him was a Ming Dynasty official, how could he give up lightly and follow closely. In a panic, Hong Chengchou found a steel knife in the pile of corpses all over the ground, and slashed at the calves that were rushing over with all his milking strength.

In an instant, screaming and blood splashed, Hong Chengchou intuitively felt that his face was warm, and he didn't have time to check whether he was injured, and just wanted to roll back to his own soldiers again. Unexpectedly, there were several more knives cut down, and the strength of the steel knife in the right hand was already old, and it was too late to raise it to resist, so I had to close my eyes and wait for death, and at the same time, I was unwilling to let out a long sigh in my heart, is it over like this?

In the midst of the lightning, Hong Chengchou only felt that his legs were tight, and his whole body was pulled suddenly, he suddenly opened his eyes, but found that it was his own soldiers who arrived in time and pulled him back. Hong Chengchou, who was alive from the dead, couldn't help but burst into tears, and the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe was really moving.

But what followed was a desperate shout of killing, which was clearly the Manchu language of the Tartars, and the Qing army actually sent the Eight Banners armor soldiers to attack the city, and Hong Chengchou realized that Dolgon was bound to win the Qiantun defense of Guangning today. The hand-to-hand combat of the Eight Banner soldiers was by no means comparable to that of the Han Army Banner soldiers, and the already exhausted Ming soldiers on the city wall were immediately on the verge of collapse in the face of the sudden increase in pressure.

Cao Bianjiao didn't ask Hong Chengchou again this time, and couldn't help but say that he picked up Hong Chengchou and ran to the city, he knew that the war in Dongcheng was irreparable, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken. Hong Butang was the commander of the Ming army, how could he, as his henchman and commander-in-chief, watch Hong Butang fall into the hands of the Qing army. At this moment, Cao Bianjiao made up his mind that even if he fought for his life, he would protect Hong Butang from escaping and ascending to heaven.

Hong Chengchou, who was lying on Cao Bianjiao's back, was like ashes, and shouted: "Let go of me, let go of me, the city is here, and the city is dead!" Cao Bianjiao, I order you to put down my ......"

General Cao fled from the battlefield of the east city wall with Governor Hong on his back, and the rest of the soldiers still had the heart to fight against the Qing army again.

The Yellow Dragon Banner of the Qing army was soon planted in the enemy tower in Dongcheng and waved in the wind. Dolgon, who was three miles away from the Qiantun City Wall of Quang Ninh, saw the Yellow Dragon Banner planted on the city, and a big stone finally fell to the ground in his heart, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.

This is really ecstatic but not aimed at the Guangning Qiantun guard, only to hear him suddenly say to himself: "Li Xin, Li Xin, you think you can besiege the city to help, but you didn't expect that I have conquered the Guangning Qiantun guard, the Ming army in Shanhaiguan has long been frightened, how dare you go out of the customs to fight, when I bring the voice of victory, lead the Qing army to the top of Mount Tai to crush the past, even Da Luo Jinxian can't save you, see what you still negotiate!" No, the Qing army wants to go straight to Shanhaiguan, and if you attack you, you will be saved, I want to see if you will conquer Jinzhou first, or ......"

As Dolgon sent the elite armor of the Eight Banners at any cost, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the defense line of the eastern city wall collapsed in an instant, and with a large number of Qing troops pouring into the city, this victory was decided.

Now Dolgon only needs to do three things, one is to completely clean up the front guard of Quang Ninh and capture Hong Chengchou alive. The second thing is to immediately send someone to Shengjing to report the victory, so that Huang Taiji will not dare to act rashly. The third thing is naturally that after a qiē is ready to stop, he waved his army south to attack Shanhaiguan.

Now that there is the Hongyi cannon in the Qiantun Acropolis of Quang Ninh, it can just come in handy, and to Dorgon's surprise, there is a large amount of food hoarded in the city, which is just enough for the army to hold out for more time. As for Li Xin, what's the point of ceding Jinzhou to him?
