Liu Rukui led his own soldiers to rush back, but was blocked by the shield hand of the Qing army, and the elite soldiers of the 5,000 Shun army were slaughtered by the Qing army.

Azig watched the killing sound on the battlefield in the barracks, and Jiang Jiu, Wang Chengyun said: "You two troops and horses are waiting for the opportunity to attack the city. ”

Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyun took the order and left, Azig continued to send troops, and ordered Turai to lead the troops to attack the reinforcements in the city, so that the reinforcements in the city could not go back when they came out, if everything went well, Wang Chengyun and Jiang Jiu's two troops and horses could break the city in one fell swoop tonight.

Liu Fangliang led the soldiers and horses in the city to rush out of the city, and was about to rush to Liu Rukui's department, but was blocked by Turai with his troops, and the two armies were killed together, and the reinforcements in the city failed to reinforce Liu Rukui in time, and they could not retreat, so they had to fight with the Qing army on the spot.

Wang Chengyun and Jiang Hao will not let go of this good opportunity, and hurriedly led their subordinates to attack the city gate, the soldiers of the left battalion stationed at the city gate resisted desperately, but they were still pushed back step by step by the Qing army.

Suddenly, the south gate of the city gate opened, and a Biao army rushed out of the south gate and launched a suicidal attack on the Qing army's base camp.

This army is a reserve force in the city, that is, thousands of soldiers and horses in the rear battalion, under the leadership of Zhang Neng and Gao Yigong, stormed the Qing army camp, Azig was stationed in the barracks, most of the soldiers and horses were put into the battlefield, and there were not many reserves in the barracks, but Azig was also a fierce general, and he led the troops in the barracks to kill, and the rear camp collided fiercely.

In this fierce battle, the two armies were bloody, Liu Rukui finally stabilized the defensive line, led the troops to start a counterattack, the strength of the Dashun army and the Qing army were equal, and no one had the strength to eat each other in one go, but the Qing army had a large number of people, and when the battle was fierce, the advantage of the Qing army's large number began to appear, and the Qing army gradually gained an advantage, and the casualties of the Dashun army began to exceed the Qing army, and Azig also led the remaining troops to slowly encroach on the rear camp.

Liu Fangliang is still fighting under the city, he can't retreat back now, he can't break through the blockade line of the Qing army, the whole army and the Qing army continue to consume, Liu Fangliang knows that the Dashun army can't afford to consume, and for the first time realizes that the Qing army can not only fight, but also has a strategy.

Especially Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyun, the two of them held their breath, and the two slaves with three surnames behaved like in front of the new master, desperately arching to the city gate, and the battle for the city gate entered the white heat, and a small number of Qing soldiers had rushed into the city.

In the Dashun army in the city, there were only thousands of soldiers and civilians in the stone camp such as Wang Bao and Mi Shengguang, Wang Bao pulled out his waist knife and shouted with his subordinates: "The city is broken, they all have to die, kill." ”

Thousands of soldiers and civilians followed his pace, rushed to the city gate, and actually broke into the city to beat the Qing army back, the two sides continued to bleed, the other city gates Dashun army did not dare to open, all crowded in the narrow area of the four city gates to fight, forcing nearly 10,000 Dashun troops in the city to be blocked in the city, unable to support the battle outside the city, and did not dare to release arrows on the city wall, for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

The raid on the rear camp of the Qing army was also defused by the Qing army, and was forced into a bitter battle, Azig saw that the battle wall was developing in a favorable direction, so he withdrew from the front-line battle, and continued to command the whole army calmly in the barracks.

At this moment, the 2,000 vanguard troops of Liu Zhong's department in Fenzhou arrived, and saw a fierce battle under the city of Taiyuan, and the vanguard attacked the Qing army camp, and Azig was beaten by this sudden new force.

But he had more soldiers and horses, and other troops waiting to fight at the gate of the city were ordered by him to attack the vanguard of Liu Zhongbu, and successfully blocked the surprise attack of Liu Zhongbu, and the two armies continued to fight, although they did not succeed in beheading, but because of Liu Zhongbu's timely reinforcements, the Dashun army finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Fangliang personally led his own soldiers back to the vicinity of the city gate, and Jiang Huang's troops were killed, Jiang Huang's troops were divided into two, one part went to the military camp to protect Azig, and the other part continued to attack the city gate with him.

As soon as he left, the Dashun army in the city finally gushed out, more than 10,000 Dashun soldiers finally rushed out of the narrow city gate, and quickly spread out to all parts of the battlefield, Wang Chengyun's soldiers and horses could not be defeated, and they were rushed to pieces, and almost all the Dashun army in the city rushed out of the city to fight, turning the situation around, killing the Qing army and retreating again and again, and the Qing army began to show signs of collapse.

Azig was very experienced in combat, he ordered his troops to hold the barracks, rushed to the battery with his own soldiers, and ordered the gunners to bombard the city gates.

At this time, there are thousands of Dashun army and Qing army fighting at the gate of the city, the gunners dare not open fire, Azig slashed a gunner to death, the other gunners were so frightened that they hurriedly loaded the shells and bombarded towards the city gate, Hongyi cannons and other artillery were not on target, most of the shells smashed on the city wall, but there were also dozens of shells falling into the fighting army, this bombardment, the battlefield was bloody and fleshy, and the residual value of the broken arm fell from the sky.

The Dashun army was bombarded, the Qing army was also bombarded, and the most fatal thing was that Liu Fangliang, the commander of the left battalion, was injured by a shell, and his own soldiers dragged him back to the city.

Although seriously injured the main general of the Dashun army, but the Qing army still does not have an advantage, Azig continued to order the bombing, but before the bombing, decisively ordered the troops to retreat to the barracks, the Qing army heard the retreat order, gave up the battle and withdrew to the barracks, the Dashun army pursued behind, but was Tulai with the Eight Banners to carry out a counter-charge, killed many soldiers, the Dashun army was forced to withdraw to the city, retreated to the city gate, and was bombed by the Qing army for the second time, the number of dead and wounded was more.

But it is good to repel the attack of the Qing army, Liu Zhongbu, the rear battalion and other troops have also withdrawn to the city, after dawn, the corpses of Taiyuan City are all over the field, this night, the Dashun army lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and Liu Rukui out of the city to fight 5,000 elite soldiers, the loss of four-fifths of the soldiers and horses, there are more than 1,000 people left, almost the left battalion is disabled.

Liu Fangliang was seriously injured, the entire Taiyuan city was in mourning, and the Qing army outside the city was not much better, last night's battle, the green battalion soldiers suffered heavy losses, and the Eight Banners also lost more than 1,000 people, if it wasn't for a siege battle, the losses in the field battle were so big, the two armies would have collapsed long ago.

Azig was slightly wounded in the battle, and said to the generals: "Break the city, three days, seal the sword." ”

The generals of the Qing army were very distressed about the loss of the battle tonight, but when they heard Azig's order, they all became very confident, there are a large number of people in Taiyuan City, and there are also the baggage of the Dashun army, aren't these things all theirs after the city is broken?

The morale of the Qing army recovered a little, Azig and Tulai said: "Last night the Dashun army had reinforcements, these reinforcements should be the vanguard he bought, there are other reinforcements in the back, you lead the troops to wander around Taiyuan City, see if there is any Dashun army is supporting Taiyuan City, if there is, the strength is enough, defeat it, if the strength is not enough, ask for reinforcements, this king will lead reinforcements to support you." ”

Azig is worthy of a generation of famous generals, one step ahead of other generals in military deployment, Turai with 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers, as well as 6,000 Green Battalion soldiers, went to the northwest of Taiyuan City to ambush.

At this time, in the northwest direction of Taiyuan City, the Dashun army from Fenzhou was walking on the road, and the main general Liu Zhong received Liu Angliang's request for help, and he did his best to reinforce Taiyuan City.

Before dawn, he also received information from the vanguard troops.

Last night, the vanguard arrived in Taiyuan City, it happened that the left battalion and the Qing army fought fiercely under the Taiyuan city, the vanguard raided the Qing army camp, the Qing army was temporarily repulsed, and the vanguard also drove to the city with the left battalion.

Liu Zhong led the troops to speed up, wanted to arrive at Taiyuan City as soon as possible, close to noon, Liu Zhong's headquarters soldiers and horses advanced to the official road only ten kilometers away from Taiyuan City, here and Turai soldiers and horses collided together, Turai led the troops to rest here for a long time, and finally waited for the reinforcements of the Dashun army, as soon as the two armies met, they fought together.

The Qing army did not let the green battalion soldiers take the lead this time, but led by Turai to lead the Eight Banners to charge personally, Liu Zhong's troops had more than 10,000 people, but there were not many elite troops, most of the elite troops were still in the vanguard, he led his subordinates and the Qing army to fight a bloody battle, and was defeated by the Qing army, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were defeated by the Qing army, Liu Zhong was forced to give up reinforcements to Taiyuan City, and led the remnants of the defeated army to withdraw to Fenzhou.

The Fenzhou Dashun army withdrew, and the Dashun army in Taiyuan City could only hope that Yuan Zong's first department and Chen Yongfu's department would come to support, but these two places were far away from Taiyuan City, and they would not be able to catch up for a while.

After defeating the reinforcements of the Dashun army all the way, Turai returned with victory and led his troops to show off his might under the city of Taiyuan, Azig was very talented in tactics, he was not in a hurry to break through the city of Taiyuan, but to use the city of Taiyuan to attract other Dashun troops to support, and use the city of Taiyuan to annihilate more of the living forces of the Dashun army.

After hearing the Azig plan, the generals of the Qing army applauded, and from this day on, the Qing army besieged but did not attack, and played a war of attrition with the Dashun army, and both armies were consuming grass to see who could bear it.

After Liu Fangliang woke up, he found that the Qing army did not attack the city, and he was also a famous general, so he immediately thought that the Qing army was sending reinforcements at the encirclement point, trying to annihilate all the Dashun troops who would support Taiyuan City in the future.

He endured the pain and summoned the generals of the left battalion, the generals of the rear battalion, and the generals of Liu Zhong's vanguard troops, and all the generals gathered together to discuss how to break through the encirclement of the Qing army?

Liu Fangliang planned to lead the troops to break through, and the whole army retreated to Linfen, and Tang Tong, Yuan Zongdi Division, most of the generals did not agree with this opinion, there is still such food and grass in the city, Chen Yongfu is not stupid, to Taiyuan City was defeated by the Qing army, will also be withdrawn, here can contain the main force of the Qing army's western front, to His Majesty to mobilize more troops to carry out a counterattack.

But Liu Fangliang resolutely chose to break through, as for Chen Yongfu's department, he also selected a team of elite soldiers, and broke through in the direction of Changzhi after breaking through, telling Chen Yongfu who came to reinforce that Taiyuan Mansion was forced to give up, and asked Chen Yongfu's department to return to Changzhi immediately.

Liu Rukui asked him with some concern whether his body supported the breakout, and Liu Fangliang said to him: "Lift, but also carry this general to break through, it is better than being consumed by the Qing army here." ”

But Liu Fangliang did not choose to break through immediately, but recuperated from his injuries in the city for several days, giving the soldiers of the whole army a rest and recuperation.

On the ninth day of being besieged by Azig, Liu Fangliang unexpectedly launched a breakout campaign.
