Gao Ding obviously also saw the tricks of the Qing army, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and defend Taiyuan City.

After Boluo and other Taiyuan cities gathered tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians, they sent the troops to besiege Taiyuan City, the Qing army siege was very distinctive, always bombarded with Hongyi cannons, and then looked at the bombing effect, it was best to be able to open the city gate, and if it could not be opened, it would continue to bombard, knowing the collapse of the torture of the defenders, and launching a general attack, the Qing army used this trick to not know how many cities were captured.

The same is true of Taiyuan City, Bolo waved his hand, dozens of Hongyi cannons lined up under the city gate, Bolo and the generals will enjoy the Hongyi cannons bombarding Taiyuan City under the city, bombarding for three days in one breath, the city wall of the west gate of Taiyuan City is crumbling.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were killed and wounded by the artillery bombardment, and almost every day someone wanted to leave the city to surrender, but they were all beheaded by Gao Ding's order.

At night, the people who surrendered to the city reached a climax, and Gao Ding almost collapsed, and he ordered his own soldiers to handle the gates of each city, and those who approached the city gates without permission were shot directly without asking for instructions.

At dawn the next day, the gates of each city were the corpses of the traitors who tried to go out of the city and surrender, under the iron and bloody wrist of Gao Ding, the surrendering forces in the city basically did not dare to act, but the city wall of Taiyuan City was about to be unable to hold on, and every time the Hongyi cannon fired, the city wall was blown up with thousands of holes, as if the next bombardment was about to be blown down, and the Qing army was waiting for the wall to collapse and launch a general attack.

Before Bolo launched a general attack, he and the generals issued a killing order to kill all the resistance forces in the city, and the generals also thought that the army could end the war in Shanxi by attacking the city, and the whole army went south to Henan to support the Qing army in Bailu Mountain.

Bolo didn't expect that the night before he issued the general attack, he and the generals discussed the strategy of breaking the city tomorrow, but received the news of the defeat of Shang Kexi's troops, but Bolo angrily scolded Shang Kexi for being incompetent.

After a while, Shang Kexi led thousands of remnants of the army to withdraw in a panic and returned to the barracks, Shang Kexi immediately came to Bolo, Bolo is the emperor's prince, Shang Kexi is a Ming person, but he surrendered to the Qing army in his early years and became the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his status was slightly inferior to Bolo.

Bolo didn't give him a good face, and said: "Shang Kexi, you have more than 10,000 male soldiers, how can you lose to the thief?" ”

Shang Kexi's face was hot, and Bolo

said: "That Li Guo is a real thief, the soldiers are not like the Ming army is sluggish, my troops and horses fought for three days, can not be defeated, Li Guobu also suffered heavy damage, but I don't know where to kill a Biao army, when our army and the thief killed fiercely, in one fell swoop into the battlefield, I... He was really invincible, so he had to withdraw. ”

Hearing that there were still reinforcements from the Dashun army, Bolo frowned, but he was still not sure, and asked, "There are still reinforcements from the Shun thief?" ”

Shang Kexi nodded and said to him: "Yes, it seems that the Ming army who came to support the Dashun army?" ”

"Where did the Ming army come from, the entire Shanxi Ming army was surrounded by our army in Taiyuan City, you go again, see where Li Guo and the other thieves are?"

Without waiting for Shang Kexi to set off, the scouts of the Qing army swimming in the periphery rushed back to report the latest military situation to Bolo and other generals, and Li Guobu of the Dashun army had defeated the defenders of Yuci City and captured Yuci City.

Bolo rolled his eyes and immediately made a risky decision, ordering the attack on Dayuan City, and breaking the city before the support of the Dashun army, this military move was opposed by most generals, especially the generals of the Green Battalion, who heard that they were going to fight on two fronts, and they all had the intention of stealing the war.

But Bolo was not in a hurry, and persuaded the main general that Dashun and Daming were not as strong as they imagined, but they were just reporting to the group for warmth, and he dared to conclude that the Dashun army would not really come to save Taiyuan City, and let Shang Kexi carry out the siege task, and he led 5,000 soldiers and horses to fight Li Guo and other Dashun troops.

Bolo is the chief general of the first army, his words are the highest order, Shang Kexi and other Qing generals have to carry it out, Shang Kexi is also eager to regain a victory, to improve his status in the army, he took over the command of the attack on Taiyuan City, immediately issued the siege.

The next day, tens of thousands of Qing troops launched a fierce attack on Taiyuan City, the Ming army in the city under the leadership of Gao Ding, stubbornly defend the city, do not take a step back, the Qing army attacked the city fiercely, the defenders in the city lost much more than the Qing army, but still in the dead defense, Gao Ding and his subordinates said: "Today is whether my Ming army can reopen the battle of the sun and the moon." ”

The soldiers and civilians in the city also know that Taiyuan City is lost, the entire Jiangbei is without the Ming military flag, and if you hold Taiyuan City, you will hold the last bloodline of the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing army did not succeed in the first siege of the city, but killed and wounded thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, and it was still gratifying to see that after the siege troops retreated, they did not attack strongly, and ordered to rest for a while, and continue to attack the city in the afternoon.

The siege troops rested, the artillery units continued to exert their might, and continued to bombard the city of Taiyuan, and the soldiers and civilians in the city endured artillery attacks and struggled to support in the city.

The Qing army launched another attack in the afternoon, this time the attack was more fierce, Gao Ding saw that the Qing army was menacing, and knew that the Qing army was riveting this time to capture Taiyuan City, and the soldiers and civilians in the city risked their lives with artillery, bows and arrows, and firecrackers, and continued to insist on resisting.

Gao Ding carried a big knife, and the Qing army on the city wall bloody battle, on both sides of him there are more than 50 personal soldiers to protect, where the city wall is in an emergency, he led people to go up, and repelled the Qing army several times to attack the city.

The Qing army's attack was frustrated, but every time it attacked, it took the lives of many Ming soldiers and civilians, and if it continued to fight, Taiyuan City could not hold out for many days, and it would be completely broken by the Qing army.

In order to capture Taiyuan City, Shang Kexi personally supervised the battle, the Qing army stormed for three days, almost beat Taiyuan City to a thousand holes, in the evening of this day, the Qing army suddenly stopped attacking the city, and the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan City who were about to reach the limit did not know what to do.

This is not that Shang Ke is happy and kind, nor is it a pity that the Qing army lost the siege, but that Bolo, who fought with the Dashun army in Yuci City, actually withdrew.

A few days ago, Bolo led 5,000 Eight Banners to Yuci City, from Shanhaiguan to Shaanxi, he has been chasing the Dashun army, this time he thought that the Dashun army was nothing more than that, and a battle could defeat the Dashun army.

Who knew that Li Guobu of the Dashun Army was not only not weak in combat effectiveness, but also supported by the Ming Army in Shanxi.

It turned out to be Gao Jie, when he arrived in Lu'an Prefecture with Wang Mu, Jiang Xuan and others, he thought about it, or decided to withdraw to support Taiyuan City, the generals didn't understand why he did this, but Gao Jie said: "Everyone, Jiannu attacked Taiyuan City, if Taiyuan City is lost, we will not be the official army, but the same as the Dashun army, become a rogue." ”

His words made everyone wake up suddenly, and after some discussion, it was decided that Jiang Hao would lead half of the soldiers and horses to continue to support Bailu Mountain, and Wang Mu and Gao Jie would lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to support Taiyuan City.
