Yang Jingsu, the political envoy of Zhili, plucked up the courage to cross the canal after the battle, and saw that the officers and soldiers of Zhili who attacked the east gate and the Eight Banners were stubbornly resisted by the bandits and suffered considerable losses, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, so he wanted to discuss with Shi Kaixian's brother whether to withdraw the siege officers and soldiers to rest first.

didn't think about it, and before he saw Brother Shikaixian, the murderous military order that he was not allowed to retreat was issued.

Facing the persuasion of Lao Yang, Jia Liu said directly: "My lord doesn't have to persuade me, I brought those Eight Banners disciples in the city, it stands to reason that every time there is a casualty, I, the leading minister, are extremely distressed, but it is my duty to pacify the chaos for the country, and it is my duty to do it, if the soldiers of the Eight Banners don't need to die, how can I refer to the Green Flag Han people with their lives!" ”

The attitude is resolute, and he will not break the Linqing Dynasty today, and he will not give up.

Seeing this, Yang Jingsu couldn't say anything, after all, the prime minister of Shandong Military Affairs was Shi Kaixian's younger brother, not him, the former governor of Zhili.

Up to this time, the Zhili soldiers and the Eight Banners who attacked the east gate of the old city suffered heavy losses.

The Zhili soldiers suffered more than 400 casualties, and the Eight Banners also suffered about 300 casualties.

The reason for the excessive casualties of the Qing army was that in addition to the fact that the east gate was guarded by the thief marshal Wang Jinglong himself, there were also reinforcements from the 400 sect leader guards led by the thief commander Wang Liang.

Mr. Wan Chaoxing, the chief soldier of Zhili, retreated, but before he could drink the order to withdraw the troops, the strict order of the Prime Minister of Military Affairs was issued to the front of the battle.

This strict order made Wan Chaoxing in a dilemma, so he quietly sent someone to ask his direct boss Yang Jingsu what he meant, but was told that if the Eight Banners did not retreat, he was not allowed to retreat, and if the Eight Banners retreated, he could also retreat.

Helpless, I had to continue to supervise the troops and climb the city, while anxiously looking at the Eight Banners in the south.

On the east gate, Wang Jinglong continued to boost morale, and under his brave command, the Qing army under the city suffered heavy casualties.

"The Qing soldiers really took the east gate as the main attack, fortunately I mobilized the elite troops here, otherwise the old city will be broken!"

Wang Jinglong, who was already sweating profusely, asked the chief soldier Wang Liang to send someone to tell the sect leader that when the Qing army was tired of attacking the city, he would attack it with a horse team, so that the Qing army would be defeated.

Wang Liang thought so and quickly sent someone to report it.

After receiving the report, Wang Lun immediately asked the righteous daughter Wu Sanniang to gather the horse team soldiers, and after waiting for the city gate, he rushed out of the city to kill the Qing army by surprise.

Qing artillery on the canal.

In the name of the Prime Minister and Minister of War, Jia Liu asked the Imperial Emperor Asiha to lead the Mongolian horse team to gallop forward to supervise the formation, and if there were any officers and soldiers who retired without permission, regardless of Manchu and Han, they would all be killed.

"I also told Lord Ah that if the thief horse team goes out of the city, Lord Ah will command the Mongolian horse team to defeat it."

"Huh!"

After the pro-soldiers went to give the order, Jia Liu looked at the top of his head, the sun was still very poisonous, and after taking the wet towel handed by the pro-soldier and wiping the sweat on his forehead, he looked at Lin Sanmao who was standing on the side: "You did a good job on this errand, go to Yang Zhi to get ten taels of gold." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

Lin Sanmao was grateful, although he didn't know why Lord Jia asked him to secretly leak the Qing army's siege deployment to the bandits in Linqing City, but how could he be a villain who could guess at will.

After Lin Sanmao retreated, Fan Wei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the ghost family raised his hand, as if he didn't want to listen to his reminder.

Here, Lin Sanmao was excited to find Yang Ye, who was in charge of the accounts for the prime minister.

"Sanmao, your kid has surrendered since he was defeated, and he became an official and made money, how is it better than the gang of bandits who followed the Chang Shengjun?"

Yang Zhi smiled and ordered someone to take two ingots and five taels of gold ingots, all of which were the only filial piety given to the young master by the Shandong General Soldier not long ago.

"Of course, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, Lord Jia treats people generously..."

Lin Sanmao said the words of gratitude to Master Jia, and reached out to take the gold ingot, but as soon as the ingots arrived, two people suddenly walked behind him, and then they couldn't help but put him up.

Two gold ingots also fell off from his hands.

Lin Sanmao looked panicked: "Lord Yang, what is this for?" ”

"No, nothing."

Yang Zhi shook his head as he picked up the two gold ingots from the ground, put them into the box as if nothing had happened, and then waved his hand.

The two soldiers immediately dragged Lin Sanmao out of the tent, so frightened that Lin Sanmao kept struggling and screaming, like killing a pig.

Before long, there was a scream.

Poor Lin Sanmao, who had only been a seven-rank official in the Qing Dynasty for a few days, died in Huangquan like this.

Under the East Castle.

The herald brought a military order from the Prime Minister: "Lord Ying, you are not allowed to retreat without a military order!" ”

"Good!"

Ying Jitu, who was sweating profusely and was also covered in blood, listened to this military order, but was not dissatisfied at all, but became more and more courageous, urging the children of the Eight Banners to climb the city without dying.

The military order of the trespassers forced the gang of Eight Banners from various departments in the Beijing camp to grit their teeth and fight desperately against the bandits in the city.

On the other side of the cave of the city gate, after smashing several shield cars, two shield cars of the Qing army finally got into it, and then hit the city gate hard, and the blocked stones behind the city gate kept sliding.

The battle for the old city has reached a critical juncture.

On the south side, there are more than a dozen ladders of Eight Banners full of armor, and the highest climb is less than one person away from the battlement, as long as they climb the battlement, those bandits who don't even have armor can hardly resist.

The thief marshal King Jinglong found out about this emergency and hurriedly rang the big bell hanging in the center of the city gate tower.

Hearing the bell, dozens of elite bandits with white cloth wrapped around their heads and red cloth on their waists shouted in unison, and they pulled the iron chains in their hands together, so that a large cauldron that had been burned to the top of the buttress, and the pot was filled with golden juice mixed with feces and hot oil.

"Burn the clear dog!"

With the shouts of a disciple of Wang Lun's boxing stick, the cauldron immediately turned on its side, and the hot gold juice poured down from the battlement, making the Eight Banners soldiers who were climbing crying wolf.

The face of the first Eight Banners soldier who was poured on his head was directly burned without skin and flesh, and there was blood red in the black, which was extremely hideous.

"Ahh

With desperation, the thug fell from the sky to the bone, and his neck was broken on the spot.

It can be regarded as saving the incomparable pain before death.

The Eight Banners below were all scalded and screamed, and many of the Eight Banners were scalded with gold juice and kept beating there.

Bad luck was slid into his body by the gold juice along his neck, and he was so anxious to take off his armor quickly, but the more anxious he became, the more messy his hands and feet became, and when he took off his armor, his back was already burned with black skin and black flesh.

The golden juice was poured down in pots, stones were smashed down one by one, everything that could kill and injure the Qing army was prepared, and finally the whole wood was thrown down.

The wood is demolished for the dwellings in the city, and the longest and heaviest beams are obtained, and they are thrown down the city wall, and the ladder is broken if it hits the ladder, and the person falls down if it hits the person.

The battle situation deteriorated rapidly, and many Qing soldiers who climbed the city had no choice but to jump off the ladder in order to avoid being poured down by gold juice or being knocked down by wood and stones.

The Zhili soldiers really couldn't hold on, and they didn't wait for the Eight Banners soldiers to retreat, so they shouted and ran to the rear.

Seeing this, the Eight Banners soldiers still cared about any strict orders, even if Yingjitu was extremely brave, they were powerless to fight again at this time.

Seeing this, Yang Jingsu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, took Jia Liu's hand and persuaded: "Brother Shikai, collect the troops!" You don't care if the green camp lives or dies, but you have to leave some seeds for the Manchurian children! ”
