The resistance of the Zhenjiang Guangning army is still tenacious, and on the fire red flag fluttering on the city gate, there are still several big characters of "Guangning Deputy Chief Soldier Mao" are still prominently painted, encouraging the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city to repel the Houjin warriors who climbed the city again and again, and throw down piles of big stones and heavy wood, this landscape makes Huangshi's heart full of emotion, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty gets the world, who will dare to praise these Guangning officers and soldiers who fought to the death in three hundred years?

The 2,000 Houjin soldiers were divided into several groups and took turns to storm the city gates. There were hundreds of Jurchen iron cavalry blocking the gates of the city, and Huang Shi knew that there were still 2,000 soldiers resting in the camp, and in the afternoon, these soldiers who were waiting for work would be replaced in batches to replace the tired front army.

A Jurchen Niulu came to Huang Taiji and said a few words, Huang Shi didn't understand a word, and after this person went down, Huang Taiji didn't look back, and said to Huang Shi behind him with a smile: "The lookout saw that the Zhenjiang army had pulled the women up to carry the wood and stone, and it seems that there is no spare strength in the city." ”

Tushan was already very high, getting closer and closer to the city wall, but it was still outside the range of the defenders, Huang Shi glanced at the progress: "Lord Belle is going to attack the city with all his might?"

"No, an all-out attack in the afternoon may break the city, but the losses will inevitably be great, and there is no benefit in street fighting at night, there will be harassing attacks this afternoon and night, and a new force will be sent early tomorrow morning, and the city will be broken during the day, and the battle will be ended in the afternoon. ”

"That afternoon and night, do you still have to control the strength of zhì, so that the defenders are tired, but the heart is relaxed, thinking that you can hold on for a few days. ”

"Huangshi, you learn quickly, that's right!" Huang Taiji laughed, stopped watching the battle, and turned his horse back to the camp.

All night Huangshi could hear the shouts and war drums coming from outside the camp, he was so stimulated that he could barely sleep, always worried that the city had been breached, and he could not observe Houjin's street fighting skills, and he couldn't stay up and lost his mind when it was almost dawn.

His head was still very heavy when he was woken up, and when he followed the Houjin soldiers out of the tent, he still felt weak on the soles of his feet, and his body trembled for a while. The sun was still a soft pink, staring at the east and looking at the morning glow, Huang Shi poured cold water on his face, and the cold washed away the drowsy feeling of dizziness.

There was no sound at the head of Zhenjiang City now, and as soon as the 2,000 soldiers who had fought at night returned to the camp to sleep, a large number of soldiers who had just come out of the tent gathered together, full of vitality, and were taken away by the whole team of Houjin officers. Seeing that everyone seemed to be sleeping better than himself, Huang Shi felt a little ashamed, and stood stupidly in the barracks alone, watching the groups of soldiers pass by in front of him and leave the camp gate in a mighty manner.

"Huangshi, didn't you sleep well?"

Seeing Huang Taiji riding his horse in high spirits, Huang Shi bowed and bowed: "The villain is ashamed, he barely fell asleep in the morning." ”

"It's normal. As he spoke, Huang Taiji jumped down and patted Huang Shi on the shoulder: "At least you're still asleep, when my father took Ben Baylor to fight for the first time, I didn't sleep well all night, haha." ”

I don't know if it can be arranged, now there are very few Han soldiers to talk to Huang Shi, and he can't understand the words of the Jurchen soldiers, so as long as Huang Taiji doesn't talk to him, Huang Shi will be in a panic. After a month of military life, he is now extremely looking forward to getting along with Huang Taiji every day, and he has become psychologically dependent. And the other party can always kindly point out Huangshi's shortcomings, and the words are more encouraging, which makes him involuntarily grateful, and the thought of his plan to betray Huang Taiji, to betray this kind of trust makes him sad.

As the drums beat rhythmically, the Houjin soldiers each carried a dirt bag and rushed up the earth mountain, allowing it to fly closer to the wall in a visible degree, and the Quang Ninh army, which was alarmed by this momentum, appeared behind the wall and shot feathered arrows at the earth mountain much denser than in the past two days. However, these feathered arrows were basically resisted by the large shield on the side of the earthen ramparts, and the Golden Watchtower immediately completed the suppression of the defenders.

In less than an hour, the earth hill that had passed the top of the city became even more magnificent, and the Houjin soldiers retreated from the mountain like a tide. When Huang Shi was wondering, he saw Huang Taiji's banner shake a few times, and the Houjin soldiers on both sides of the earth mountain immediately started to pull countless thick cables, although Huang Shi couldn't see the specific situation in front of him, but a few big trees fell on the side edge of the earth mountain as far as the eye could see, and the wood chips they supported also fell one after another.

With a rumbling sound, a cloud of dust rose from the edge of the city, and Huangshi knew that hundreds of logs in front of the earth mountain had been pulled down. The mountain shook, and then pressed towards the head of Zhenjiang City a few meters away, with an earth-shattering loud noise, what Huangshi could see was a gray yellow mist, and the earth-shaking drums sounded at the same time, and thousands of Houjin soldiers shouted in unison, rushing into the smoke in front of Huangshi's eyes, and disappeared one by one.

When the dust drifted in front of Huang Taiji, Huang Shi saw him rush with his hands. Huang Taiji, who had been listening carefully to the sound, finally straightened his body and said in a flat tone: "Zhenjiang has been broken!"

Then he said something to the soldiers next to him in Manchu, and after waiting for a long time, the banner of Jin Zhenghuang also waved, and a large number of Jurchen cavalry immediately marched in the direction of the city gate, and even men and horses burrowed into the dust.

When the dust settled, the two Houjin soldiers dragged over a bloody man, whose limbs had obviously been broken, and only half of one palm remained, this man lowered his head and swept the ground in a long mess. Walking in front of the Huang Taiji horse, the Houjin soldier on the right grabbed his head and grabbed his head, and Huang Shi immediately recognized that this was his former boss - Zhang Yuanzhi, the commander of the Guangning Army.

Zhang Yuanzhi's eyes were closed tightly, the red liquid flowed from slightly to his eyelids, and then to his mouth, and as soon as the hand on his head was loosened, his head hung weakly to the ground again. When Hou Jin attacked the city gate, he resisted desperately with two knives in his hand, hacked several people to death in this desperate battle, and also wounded one Hou Jin Niu Lu. He was captured under Mao Wenlong's banner, so the Houjin soldiers who captured him dragged him to repay him.

After verifying his body, Huang Taiji looked at the bloody man in disgust, and immediately the Han army went over to question. Zhang Yuanzhi, who couldn't open his eyes, let out a tooth-sour laugh: "Tartar, Mao Junmen has left safely." ”

Huang Shi saw what the Han army whispered again, which made Zhang Qian burst into a burst of laughter: "I am not working for Mao Junmen, as a military attache of the Ming Dynasty, I am naturally guarding this Zhenjiang ...... for the great tomorrow."

Defend this Zhenjiang for the great tomorrow - Huang Shi did not hear the latter words, because these words reminded him: When the ancestors of the Jurchens attacked Jinning, the Song guards also refused to persuade them to surrender before they were martyred - I defended the land for the Jianyan Son of Heaven. Huang Shi knew, and Huang Taiji naturally knew that as soon as the iron-faced Huang Taiji waved his horsewhip, the soldiers dragged the half-dead Guangning Qianzong to the side and tied him up. The Niu Lu who had been cut by him had already bandaged his wound and immediately started to cut off the flesh from him piece by piece. This action woke Zhang Yuanzhi from a semi-coma, and every time he was stabbed, he screamed: "Kill the slave!"

Except for Hou Jinniulu, who was concentrating on cutting meat, Huang Shi was the only one who kept peeking at Zhang Yuanzhi, and the others turned a blind eye to this kind of scene of cutting off the living. The blade sliced slowly and methodically into the skin, turning to make the victim feel more pain, and then carrying a piece of flesh with it.

"Kill-slave!"

"When the Japanese invaded Nanjing, the Chinese soldiers also shouted, 'We will defend the territory of the Republic of China,' right? When the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army were righteous, they were just as generous and tragic? There is a spirit in heaven and earth that can be called 'heroic righteousness,' and there is a kind of person who can be worthy of the praise of a 'great husband.' ”

Huang Shi tried his best not to let tears welling up in his hot eyes, and he made a promise to the Ming army officer in his heart: "Lord Zhang, one day, I will definitely let people remember what I saw today." ”

The Biography of Zhang Yuanzhi

Ming general Zhang Yuanzhi, I don't know who is also ......

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Zhi went to sea with Mao Wenlong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and attacked Jianyu in Liaodong......

Yuanzhi was the first to enter the city, Zhenjiang Suike, and the merit was the first......

Captured Zhenjiang, Yuanzhi fought unyieldingly, and was held with all his strength. Annoyed Yuan Zhi so much that he was too late. Yuan Zhi was stabbed with a thousand knives, and he still called for killing slaves. Taizu Yin collected his body and buried it in the suburbs of Zhenjiang......

The national dynasty restored the whole Liao, collected and buried the bones of Zhongliang, set up the martyrs' shrine to worship, and the incense was endless day and night, and I didn't dare to forget it for a moment......

Zhang Gong is also in the ancestral hall......

Taizu inscribed poem ancestral hall: sigh I am a hero of China, how many loyal and righteous people, mourn their loyal bones, and they will not be accepted for 20 years.

Taizu said: I don't know the rhythm of writing and ink. This poem is my sorrow and the true feelings of honoring the martyrs. Therefore, Ning Yi laughed at the world and did not dare to make someone ghostwrite. The letter of my own family, which should be located outside the main entrance, is engraved under the stone steps to show respect. It is better to trample on it for eternity, not to take the lord from the host, and to be earnest.

Praise said:

Ming lost Liaodong, the soldiers burned with it, and Yuanzhi was in it, and his misfortune was unfortunate.

To meet the real dragon, leave a name in history, and talk about the beauty in future generations, which is also a great luck.

Zhang Gong didn't need to say anything, and there were thousands of people who were determined to go to the trouble and serve the country.

The martyrs are insignificant, the loyal and good are all destroyed, and who knows under the thousand autumns?

The historian is thin and bald, and he can't know all the names, he can't do his best, and he can't be sad.
