Jiang Hao was in high spirits in Datong Mansion at this time, killed his life-saving benefactor Zhang Tianlin a few days ago, dominated Datong Mansion, and also supported a Ming Dynasty clan named Zhu Dingshan, Jiang Hao thought he was doing a good job, but he didn't expect this move to plant the seeds of "anti-bone" in the eyes of the Qing army's high-level leaders.

He asked his henchmen to go to the capital, contacted the Manchu high-level, and asked the Qing army to flank the Dashun army in Taiyuan Mansion with him, but suddenly received information from his younger brother that a Dashun army was killed from Xuanfu Town and was attacking Tianchengwei.

This scared Jiang Hao a lot, didn't he wipe out the Dashun army in the north of Shanxi? Why is there still a Dashun army killed from Xuanfu Town, he didn't dare to despise this Dashun army, and hurriedly gathered the generals to discuss how to expel the Dashun army that attacked Tianchengwei.

There is a general who suggested to defend Tiancheng, Yanghe, and Gaoshan Sanwei, Jiang Hao glared at his subordinates, if he could hold it, his younger brother would not ask him for reinforcements, but his elder brother Jiang Rang was not shocked, and said to him: "The Dashun army in Xuanfu Town attacked my Tianchengwei, it must be to urgently open up the situation, we don't have to worry, the Dashun army is in a hurry, and the Manchurians are even more anxious." ”

Jiang Jiu respected his brother very much, and said to Jiang Rang: "Brother, how do you say this?" ”

"The Dashun army of Xuanfu Town attacked my Datong Mansion, but it just wanted to join the Taiyuan Mansion and the Shanxi Dashun Army, as long as we guard the city without losing, these Dashun troops are crossing the river, and it is just in the past, but the Manchurians are different, you look at the map, where is Xuanfu Town?"

Jiang Hao and other generals turned their eyes to a military combat map, Xuanfu Town is just north of Shuntianfu, directly threatening the Manchu magnates in the capital, these Manchus finally entered the customs, how could they let the Dashun army operate under their noses?

Everyone felt that he was reasonable, Jiang Hao also cooperated with his brother, he and his subordinate Yang Zhenwei said: "You lead 5,000 troops to help Jiang Xuan garrison Tianchengwei, Tiancheng guard can't hold it, just guard the high mountain guard, listen to Lao Tzu, Yangshanwei is the last bottom line, can't keep it, you come to see you." ”

Yang Zhenwei took the order and left, and Jiang Hao let more henchmen ride fast horses to the capital, hoping that the Qing army could quickly defeat the Shanxi Dashun army, and he also asked people to secretly contact Tang Tong, trying to win Tang Tong to surrender to the Qing army with him.

The reinforcements of Datong Mansion galloped far away into Tianchengwei, Ling Jingyang ordered a general attack before the arrival of the Ming army reinforcements, Zhang Luofu, Wang Bao, Leng Rutie, Qin Lie's four soldiers and horses served as the main force of the siege, attacking the city from the south gate, Huang Daozhong, the artillery battalion wandered on both sides, Ling Jingyang also ordered the cavalry battalion to wander between Tianchengwei and Gaoshanwei to prevent Gaoshanwei reinforcements from raiding the stone camp.

Tiancheng Wei Ming army is not very much, although last night there were some mountain guard reinforcements arrived in Tiancheng Wei, but the strength is still insufficient, only more than a thousand people, the number of defenders is not much, but the victory is well-armed, there are ten general cannons on the city wall, and hundreds of firearms, in the face of the city under the miscellaneous soldiers, the defenders are full of confidence.

After Ling Jingyang and other departments entered the position, they ordered the siege of the city, thousands of stone battalion soldiers under the Ming artillery fire, carrying cloud ladders to storm the city wall, the city wall Ming army with bows and arrows, firearms, artillery long-range shooting to kill the Dashun army, many stone battalion soldiers have not rushed to the city wall, they were shot dead and wounded by the Ming army.

Zhang Luofu also attacked with the troops, and seeing that the troops suffered heavy casualties, he held a shield on his head and said to Mei Shifeng: "You take someone to cover Qin Zhangqi." ”

Mei Shifeng was stunned, aren't they all siege troops? Why do they still have to cover Qin Lie's troops, Zhang Luofu said to him: "In our army, Qin Zhangqi's troops are good at attacking cities, so hurry up and cover." ”

Mei Shifeng led more than 100 shield bearers to cover Qin Lie's troops, and after more than 100 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, he finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall, leaned on the foot of the city with a ladder, and climbed up frantically, Qin Lie said with confidence and Qin Hu: "Huzi, don't be ashamed of Lao Tzu." ”

Qin Hu nodded heavily, and led more than a hundred troops to attack the city with a ladder, the soldiers of the stone camp were not afraid of death, but the defenders had a defensive advantage, and the soldiers of the stone camp almost rushed up to one, and they were hacked to death by the Ming army, Qin Hu held a square shield, and climbed up quickly, and suddenly a spear stabbed in front of the shield, and Qin Hu felt the huge pressure on the shield square.

He bit the big knife in his mouth, the shield waved downward, the Ming soldier who used the spear pierced the air, his body tilted down, Qin Hu held the gun suddenly, and pulled it hard, the whole person of the Ming soldier was torn off, and he fell heavily under the city, and was divided by the stone camp soldiers.

Qin Hu withstood great pressure and continued to climb the city, but the ladder was suddenly pushed away by the Ming soldiers, Qin Hu hurriedly jumped down from the ladder, although he suffered a little flesh wound, but it was not fatal, and it did not affect the continuation of the battle, but the city wall was still in the hands of the Ming army, and the other siege departments were also repelled by the Ming army.

The first siege of the city, the stone camp soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and still failed to gain a foothold on the city wall, Wan Liyun asked Ling Jingyang to withdraw his troops, but Ling Jingyang asked the troops to attack again, because the south gate is not the main direction of attack, and the real breaking point is at the east gate.

Tianchengwei East Gate, Dong Daqi led three hundred death squads, when the battle at the South Gate was fierce, he rushed to the East Gate and hit the City Gate with a battering ram, almost all of the main forces of the Ming Army fought at the South Gate, and there were not many defenders at the East Gate.

The death squad was covered by the artillery camp again, the artillery battalion under the leadership of Wang Chengen, bravely rushed to the city, and the Ming army on the city wall to shoot, after a chaotic arrow flew together, a large number of casualties on both sides, after all, the defenders in the city were small in number, and hurriedly transferred troops from the south gate to support the east gate, the pressure of the stone camp in the south gate was suddenly reduced, Qin Hu once again cheered up, led the first troops to launch a strong attack again, this time he finally rushed to the city wall, a slam stab, knocked over a Ming army, behind him, rushed up more than 20 stone camp soldiers in one breath, dead in a semicircleto cover more allies to follow.

The Ming army knew that when it was time to fight for their lives, they rushed up in a swarm, wanting to beat Qin Hu and other soldiers of the Dashun army, but Qin Hu fought again and again, and there were constantly Shiying soldiers on the city wall, and killed the Ming army with big swords and spears, and the two armies killed on the city wall with a river of blood.

At the east gate, after Dong Daqi's siege hammer troops were killed and wounded dozens of people, they finally crashed open the east gate in one breath, Fang Xiaoyan led the clothed soldiers to rush into the city with a roar, cut down when they saw people, and killed the Ming army at the gate of the city one after another, Dong Daqi and Lao Mantou also led Ling Jingyang's direct troops to break into the city, after the east gate was breached, the Tiancheng Wei Ming army basically lost its fighting spirit, and after hundreds of people were killed, the remnants of the soldiers withdrew to the city, and wanted to fight with Shiying in the streets.

Ling Jingyang was not in a hurry, ordered all troops and horses to occupy the city wall, and then shouted to the Ming army in the city, as long as he surrendered, he was not to blame in the past, but no Ming army surrendered, which was unexpected by Ling Jingyang, how did these Ming troops become so backbone?
