Outside the city, the rebels were eyeing the city, and the generals on the city wall were also watching.

In fact, outside the West City Gate, you can try to break through in the direction of the West Lake, but the generals of the city, no one dares to take risks easily.

Who knows, is there an ambush on the other side?

What's more, the city is strong and easy to defend, and there is enough food and grass, so it can be completely defended, which is also a foolproof strategy.

From the spring of the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, responded to Wu Sangui's rebellion, and sent three routes, two of which directly took Zhejiang, and most of Zhejiang was in flames, which lasted until now, and has been up to three years. The rebels once invaded Yiwu and Zhuji in the belly of Zhejiang, penetrated deep into northern Zhejiang, and were only 100 miles away from Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang.

The Qing Dynasty sent the prince minister Kang Prince Jieshu as the general to lead the army south to Zhejiang, and in more than two years, he successively recovered Chuzhou, Wenzhou, Jinhua and other places, blocking the rebels in southern Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang.

Just a few months ago, the elite of Zhejiang's official army marched south to Quzhou, aiming to break the rebels and go straight to Fujian. And just when the soldiers and people in Zhejiang were looking forward to the official army breaking the rebels and returning Zhejiang to a peaceful world, the rebels entered the city.

No one knows where this rebel army came from and to which part it belongs?

"General, the Quzhou army was defeated, Prince Kang and General Ninghai were killed, I don't know if it's true or not?"

The deputy chief of staff, Katsuho, held a leaflet from the western city wall in his hand, worried.

The deputy capital commander Jiltab, now the highest governor of Hangzhou Mancheng, looked at the rebels outside the city, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

The news of the defeat of the official army in Quzhou came unexpectedly, which made the hearts of the entire Manchurian soldiers and people fluctuate, and they could not live in fear. Especially when the city of Hangzhou was seized and the rebels came to the city, the whole city was immersed in a stormy panic.

Quzhou was defeated, the general Jieshu, the Ninghai general Fu Lata, the Hangzhou general Lahada, the Fujian governor Duan Yingju, the deputy capital commander Mu Herin and other court officials died one after another, and 30,000 Zhejiang elites were wiped out. Throughout the city, everyone panicked.

In particular, the dignitaries and nobles in the city of Hangzhou, the rich businessmen, and the powerful gentry, everyone wanted to escape from the city, but they were closed by the gates of Jiltab and all of them were blocked.

The rebels are coming to the city, and the people are out of the city, and if the rebels rush in, won't there be a big chaos.

"General, the rebels have occupied the Wulin Gate, it seems that they want to make the turtle in the urn and let our army surrender!"

Xiao rode the school Brinta and hurried back to report.

"You're the one who is the king!"

Deputy Chief of Staff Shengbao's anger rose, and he waved his hand as a whip.

Learning from the Han people is nondescript, and they can't even use idioms, which is really a waste.

"General, do you want to go out of the city for a decisive battle? I look at these rebels, and there is nothing! ”

Katsuho asked Giltarab for battle.

In his opinion, the number of rebels was only two or three thousand, and the odds of winning were not small when they went out of the city to attack.

"General, the city is full of high pools and deep, and the rebels want to attack it, it's not so easy! If you go out and fall into an ambush, it will really outweigh the losses! ”

Blinka was frightened and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

He didn't want to charge into battle and engage the other side in close combat. The battlefield is extremely dangerous, if something happens, wouldn't it be in vain?

"You can't go out of the city to fight! We have to wait for the rebels to attack the city! ”

Giltab's face was gloomy, and he said coldly:

"The wives and children of the soldiers are all in the city, and they go out with them to fight hard, and if they are defeated, who will protect them?"

Almost all of these rebels outside are wearing armor, all of them are fierce and fierce, the large array is strict, dignified and powerful, and they are veterans of a hundred battles at a glance.

Fight them with the bannermen of the city, I'm afraid......

Giltarab's head was unconsciously covered with sweat.

He turned to a silent flag man official next to him, with a humble attitude.

"Lord Li, how long can the food in the city last?"

Hearing Jiltab's question, Li Shizhen, the political envoy of Zhejiang, pondered slightly for a moment, and then replied:

"Food is not a problem, it can last for about a year and a half!"

The faces of the banner generals looked better, some shook their heads and sighed, and some trembled.

"Lord Li, the rebels are besieging the city, what do you think?"

Jiltab's language is mild-mannered, and he seems to care very much about the opinion of the political envoy of Zhejiang.

"Send people to sneak out of the city at night and report the enemy situation to Jiangning and Suzhou. In any case, we will have to wait until the reinforcements arrive! ”

Li Shizhen said fiercely, his eyes were hideous.

Giltab was slightly startled, and was about to pass down the military order and wait for reinforcements.

"General, look!"

Suddenly, Katsuho pointed to the outside of Dongcheng and shouted loudly.

On the street outside the Yingzi Gate, a knight slowly came on horseback, and the knight on the horse was dressed in Han and had a graceful demeanor, and only stopped when he reached the moat.

"What are the rebels going to do?"

The generals and officials of the Qing army on the city wall were all confused.

"General, do you want me to shoot this Nikan down?"

Seeing the knight's Hanfu on the right side, with a layer of green stubble on his head, obviously without braids, Shengbao's eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Don't be reckless, take a look first."

Giltab's face was gloomy, but he could still hold his breath.

When the two armies are fighting, they must at least know the will of the other party.

"Left and right archers ready!"

Li Shizhen coldly gave a military order. It's as if if you don't agree with each other, you're going to fight.

"The people at the head of the city have heard clearly, open the city early, and leave freely! Give you three days to evacuate, and after three days, the army will attack the city and the jade will be burned! ”

The knights shouted loudly outside the city, and the people at the head of the city heard it clearly, and everyone's faces were ugly.

The elite rebels are fearless, and it seems that they will either abandon the city and leave, or it will be a fierce battle.

"Left, ready!"

Li Shizhen's face was extremely gloomy, as if he was about to drip water.

The rebels were so arrogant that he didn't mind shooting the rebel envoys to boost the morale of the Qing army at the head of the city.

"Listen to the above, the bodies of your commander Prince Kang Jieshu, Ninghai General Fu Lata, Hangzhou General Lahada and others are here. If you want to exchange the corpse back, you can exchange it for silver, 10,000 taels of silver for each corpse! ”

The Hanfu knights waved their hands, and in the rebel array, a number of wheelbarrows were pushed out and placed in a row outside the moat, and on each wheelbarrow, there was the body of a Qing general.

On the city wall, not only Jilettab, Li Shizhen and others were shocked, picking up the clairing mirror to look carefully, even those flag soldiers stretched their necks, wanting to see clearly.

"Prince Kang! General Ninghai! ”

"Lahada! Mukhrin! ”

The Qing army generals and officials at the head of the city saw it clearly, and many people screamed.

"This ...... But what should I do? ”

The officials with the Han military flag shouted tremblingly.

"Prince Kang!"

"General Ninghai!"

Katsuho wept bitterly and knelt on the city wall. Many Qing generals on the city wall fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

Giltarab closed his eyes tightly, and his facial muscles trembled, as if he were about to strain if he was not careful.
