The troops besieging the city tonight, under the leadership of their respective generals, were ready for a surprise attack, and the archers, musketeers, and a small number of artillery pieces were all aiming at the city walls of Baoding City.

The Ming army and civilians in the city also understood that at the last moment, they all united together, hated the same enemy, under the leadership of the prefect, determined to live and die together with Baoding, some people resolutely resisted, and some people survived, including Li Jiantai, who Zhu Youzhen relied on the most, had long been ready to surrender, as long as the Dashun army attacked the city, he opened the city gate to welcome the Dashun army into the city.

Liu Fangliang's patience has also reached the limit, a small Baoding City, let his army consume grain and grass here, tonight must pull out the nail of Baoding City, and then the whole army will go south, destroy the Ma Dai Department in Yixian County, return to the capital with the spoils, and ask Your Majesty for credit.

Before the siege, the soldiers of the two armies were silent, Liu Fangliang rode on a horse, closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't know how long it took, he opened his eyes violently, waved the flag of the big hand, and the soldiers of the left battalion burst out with a strong desire to fight, carrying weapons to launch a fierce attack on Baoding City.

The soldiers and civilians of Baoding City swore to resist to the death, the prefect He Fu, the same knowledge Shao Zongyuan, and other civil and military officials in Baoding City blocked the Dashun army from entering the city with flesh and blood, among which Zhang Luojun's brother recruited thousands of soldiers, his brother Zhang Luojun Wen Jinshi, and his brother Zhang Luofu Wu Jinshi, led the troops to guerrilla in the city, and everyone worked together to repel the first wave of attack of the Dashun army.

Liu Fangliang is not in a hurry, he is waiting for the city to open the city gate, last night Li Jiantai abandoned Ming and surrendered, and asked people to send him a letter, tens of thousands will open the city gate, so don't look at the defenders on the city wall to fight happily, as long as the city gate is opened, the army enters the city, these defenders are defeated like a mountain.

Sure enough, when the battle was at its fiercest, the gate of Baoding City was quietly opened, and Ling Jingyang and the vanguard army and other soldiers happened to be arranged in front of this open city gate, and a captain saw the city gate open and shouted: "Enter the city, enter the city!" ”

The sound of shouting for the sky and grabbing the earth burst out from the mouth of the Dashun army, Ling Jingyang was wrapped in the crowd, and was forced to stride towards the city gate, the city gate was Li Jiantai's people, after they opened the city gate, they retreated to both sides, and let the Dashun army drive straight in.

Ling Jingyang looked at Baoding City, where the door was wide open, and had an indescribable feeling, these soldiers and civilians of Baoding City were loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but they were betrayed by the young people, so is the Dashun Army a bad person?

Obviously not, they are just a group of hungry people who can't survive, unveiling the rod, after Ling Jingyang and a large number of Dashun troops entered the city, the Ming army and civilians who were still swearing to resist just now suddenly fell thousands of miles, and were chased and cut by the Dashun army, many Ming soldiers were cut to the ground by the Dashun army, but they stood up again and continued to fight, until they were hacked to death, Ling Jingyang did not use the knife, but saw Li Rufeng leading his subordinates to kill in the city, their group of people used to be the Ming army, or the elite troops in the Ming army, the border army, fighting former comrades-in-arms, Killed mercilessly, covered in blood.

In the urban offensive and defensive battle, Ling Jingyang was very prescient, gave up the use of a broadsword, and received a spear from the armory, as the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, Ling Jingyang used a spear to provoke the Ming army to attack, he didn't want to kill people in the city, so he did one thing in the city, that is, to force the Ming army to surrender.

The old steamed bun followed him to force the Ming army to surrender, and a group of Ming troops could not defeat the Dashun army, so they ran to an alley, Ling Jingyang followed with more than a dozen subordinates, and finally blocked the Ming army in a dead end.

The Ming army saw that Ling Jingyang and other Dashun troops were coming, and there was a dead end behind them, and they didn't have the strength to continue running, so they decided to fight until the last moment, Ling Jingyang hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, you and I are both descendants of Yan and Huang, don't kill each other again." ”

The leader of the Ming army had a white belt tied to his head and snorted coldly.

"Whoever is like you, you are a bunch of traitors, and today I would rather die here than live on my knees."

He held a big knife and slashed towards Ling Jingyang, from the way he handled the knife and his momentum, Ling Jingyang felt that this person had some ability, and it was not wise to hit it hard, but the old steamed bun bravely went up, and collided with his weapon with a big ring knife again, and with only one knife, the big ring knife of the old steamed bun was shocked away.

The old steamed bun was stagnant, the man's big knife slashed at his neck, Ling Jingyang hurriedly helped, a flying kick kicked over, kicked the man's wrist, the man's big knife was kicked to the ground, and Ling Jingyang scuffled with his bare hands, both of them were practicing families, rolling around on the ground, you punched me and kicked, the nose was blue and the face was swollen, in the process of fighting, the other Ming soldiers were killed by the Dashun army that followed, only Ling Jingyang and this person rolled on the ground, and it was still a win.

In the end, it was the old steamed bun with five strong soldiers, pounced on the man, tied him with hemp rope, and then dragged him to the city gate, Ling Jingyang knew that the old steamed bun was going to drag this person to the city gate and behead him, and hurriedly said: "No, this person has some ability, just kill it like this, it's a pity, it's better to keep it, maybe it will be useful in the future." ”

The old steamed bun bowed his head to Ling Jingyang, what Ling Jingyang asked him to do, he did it, he pulled this white bandaged Ming army to the side, Ling Jingyang was afraid that he would kill himself, so he stuffed a rag in his mouth, and then said to the others: "Look if there are any still alive?" ”

The soldiers were pulling on the ground for a while, but they didn't find a living Ming army, and Ling Jingyang was also surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Dashun army, and a wave of killings came over, and they all wiped out the Ming army in the alley.

At this time, the battle of Baoding City has ended, Li Jiantai and others opened the door to surrender, the prefect of Baoding Prefecture and Zhizhou, as well as other Ming soldiers and civilians almost all died, only a small number of prisoners survived, Liu Fangliang came to the city, Li Jiantai obediently stood at the gate of the city, welcoming him into the city.

Li Jiantai's surrender made Liu Fangliang very satisfied, this is Chongzhen's old henchman, and the Emperor of the Dog trusts him so much, but he can accept Li Jiantai, Liu Fangliang is naturally proud, he took Li Jiantai's hand and said: "Scholar Li, don't you vote over early, it's not much better than following that white-eyed wolf?" ”

Li Jiantai wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, he was afraid that the general of the Dashun Army in front of him would be moody, and cut him with a knife, Liu Fangliang in order to make Li Jiantai feel at ease, specially took Li Jiantai to walk around the left camp barracks, and told the soldiers along the way that the scholars were loyal ministers of Dashun, and they were not allowed to insult them, and those who were disrespectful were whipped.

Li Jiantai followed Liu Fangliang's buttocks, walked around the left camp army, walked down in a circle, and felt refreshed, just the feeling of turning around the ghost gate and returning to the world.

After Liu Fangliang occupied Baoding City, he suddenly thought of one thing, Zhang Ding's reinforcements were still on the way, so he broke through Baoding City.
