The Mongolian Khan said: "Master, I have been besieging Jinhua for many days, and I can't fight. The warriors of our Mongolian tribes are exhausted and have no strength to attack the city..."

Boluo pointed at the Mongolian Khan with a horsewhip in his hand and said, "Chadel, are you saying that I am using you Mongolians as cannon fodder to send you to death?"

The Mongolian Khan bowed and said: "The slaves dare not criticize Lord Baylor, but the reality is that the loss of troops is heavy, and our tribe is seriously damaged. Please Lord Belle show compassion to his subordinates and replace the main force of the Eight Banners. As long as elite troops are invested, Jinhua will fall in an instant."

Boluo squinted his eyes, his white eyebrows trembled, and just stared at Mongolia Khan.

Zhang Jing of the Qing army stood up and accused the Mongolian Khan, wanting to escort him back to Beijing, or behead him on the spot, a Mongolian cavalry ran out, "Master Baylor, Cha'er's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty has never wavered , but his tribe did suffer heavy losses in this attack, please be considerate of the master of Baylor, and the minister Sunit is willing to lead the warriors of his tribe to open the door to attack Jinhua for the master."

Bo Luo took a look at him, then kicked Cha'er viciously, pointed at his horsewhip, "Za'er is in the front, and you are in the rear. If you dare to fight and don't do your best, you will slaughter all of Cha'er and go back In the future, Yu Ding of the Cha'er tribe will be merged into the Sunite tribe, and if you are like the Cha'er tribe, after the Eight Banners soldiers have slaughtered you, they will send someone to the grassland, and the population of the two tribes will be sent to Ningguta as slaves."

"Yes, master," Sunit said with a helpless face, while Chadel was full of sorrow, and they responded to Boluo's order with Sunit helplessly.

Boluo glanced at the other Mongolian Taiji, "The Mongolian tribes will be the main force next time. They will charge behind the surrendered soldiers of the Ming army and the flag of the Han army. This time we must take Jinhua, otherwise the military law will be used." A willow tree with thick arms.

In the city, Zhang Qiang hacked to death a surrendered soldier of the Ming army with a knife, and several surrendered soldiers of the Ming army who rushed into the first parapet were hacked to death by the servants around him.

Zhang Qiang looked at the Qing army rushing up from the gap again, and with a wave of his hand, he led the remaining fifty musketeers back to the second parapet and continued to defend.

"Bang bang bang" Zhang Qiang just turned his head, and saw several musketeers and musketeers being hit by a storm of bullets and fell to the ground.

"Qing Army and Han Army's flag bird musketeers join the battle." A loud system prompt sounded.

"Grass—" Zhang Qiang vigorously swung the waist knife in his hand, drawing a spark on the second parapet.

At the first parapet, more than a dozen rebel soldiers who stayed behind were also knocked over. They all bowed their heads and squatted down. The space thirty steps ahead was filled.

Zhang Qiang's heart sank. Although he had made countless preparations, he did not expect that the enemy also had gunners, and now he was suppressed by the enemy.

Hundreds of Qing troops rushed in, and quickly flooded the first parapet. The rebel soldiers on the first parapet fought hard, and a few escaped. Zhang Qiang ignored him and let them run directly into the second parapet. The gate of the city wall.

He directed the remaining musketeers and those at the second parapet to fire at the enemy.

The battle continued, and there were more and more Qing troops. Many people began to run to both sides, attacking the second city wall, or attacking the east gate and west gate along the first city wall.

After a while, Zhang Qiang saw Wei Wuji yelling at him on the second city wall: "My lord, hurry back, the east gate is lost."

Zhang Qiang closed his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he shouted: "Take the people you gathered, rely on the second city wall, and defend the east gate area."

"Yes, my lord." Wei Wuji's head disappeared from the crenelation of the second city wall.

After a while, after Zhang Qiang hacked to death a Qing army bannerman who jumped onto the second parapet, Zhou Zhou Zhou's voice sounded, "My lord, the west gate has fallen, but we have captured more than 30 city gentry, and more than 70 of them. servant, and a guy named Ruan Dacheng."

"Okay," this is the best news Zhang Qiang has received.

"Go to help Ximen defend, with five hundred soldiers and fifty musketeers."

"Yes, my lord."

More and more Qing troops poured in, roughly estimated to be more than 3000 people. In addition, other Qing troops continued to rush up the first city wall, attacking the rebels on the second city wall with bows, arrows and firecrackers.

Many Qing soldiers even poured in from the main gate, east gate, and west gate with ladders, and attacked the second city wall, which was also full of shouts of killing.

The night was getting darker and thicker, and the Ming army waist knife in Zhang Qiang's hand could hardly be swung. There were only about thirty musketeers left, and only three of his guards were left alive.

The morale of the soldiers was getting lower and lower.

If it weren't for these Qing troops attacking vigorously while shouting: "Take Jinhua Mansion, don't seal the sword for three days, don't take prisoners, kill, kill, kill" I am afraid that the rebel army would have collapsed.

From this, it can also be seen that many rebel soldiers dropped their weapons and fled to the city.

At this time, the three servants rushed to Zhang Qiang while hacking and killing, "My lord, get ready."

Zhang Qiang nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Retreat, retreat to the city wall, and close the city gate."

Zhang Qiang climbed up the second city wall in embarrassment. After several fights, the city gate was barely closed, and the people behind blocked the city gate with bluestones and sacks regardless of life and death.

Zhang Qiang drew out the short-fire gun at his waist, aimed at a red-armored elite who was rushing forward the most, and fired a shot with a "bang".

"Ignite!" Zhang Qiang shouted.

At this time, there were more than [-] people from the Qing army rushing up the city wall, and the pressure on the second city wall increased greatly. In many places, the Eight Banners of Mongolia bravely killed them and wreaked havoc on it.

The rebel soldiers almost collapsed and resisted their impact.

After a quarter of an hour, after persisting for a quarter of an hour, the Qing army almost stood still on the second city wall. Suddenly, ten steps away from the first city wall, fire dragons suddenly appeared, mixed with many violent explosions.

Many soldiers of the Qing army flew into the sky, or rolled in the fire. Many Qing soldiers on the first city wall could not stand still, were shaken off the city wall, and screamed fiercely. No matter how many people covered their ears, Falling to the ground, screaming, rolling, vomiting blood.

One after another fire dragons climbed up the city wall, burning them to crawl around.

Cry father and mother.

The second city wall was also shaken by this violent explosion, and the bricks fell down one after another. Several places were collapsed, cracked, crooked, and many ladders erected by the Qing army were pinned down. The Qing army fell from the ladder. Going down, although the second city wall is not high, and there are other Qing troops below who are ready to climb, but the sudden violent explosion and fire still caused many Qing soldiers to sprain, fall, frightened and flustered.

You Haibo took the opportunity to counterattack with the rebel soldiers, rushed down the city wall, and drove out the Qing troops who were not affected. The Qing army threw away their helmets and armor, rushed towards the city gate and the gap in the city wall, trampling on each other, causing countless deaths and injuries.

The rebel soldiers in Zhang Qiang's hands also took the opportunity to fight back, regained the second parapet, and fired several rounds of volleys with musketeers. Except for the wounded and captured, all the Qing troops retreated.

Zhang Qiang sat down on the ground, and the guards next to him lifted him up and put him on the second city wall.

"Boom, boom," the enemy's artillery bombarded the first city wall again.

A quarter of an hour later, You Haibo ran over, "Your Majesty has wiped out about 3000 enemies this time, and captured more than 100 people alive, and they have been taken to the back. Among them, there are more than 30 enemy cotton-armored Jurchens, more than [-] red-armored, and five white-armored Shake your teeth."

"Our casualties?" Zhang Qiang was concerned about this.

"Three thousand, there are another two thousand wounded soldiers, seven hundred were frightened, and the minister has already detained them in the county government."

"What about other places?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"The west gate has been recovered, and the east gate has also been recovered. Five or six collaborators and their family members have been captured, and more than 100 generals have been captured. In addition, more than 700 old people over the age of 45 have been gathered from the refugees, led by the servant of the last general. Patrol the whole city and stabilize the city."

"How many troops do we have available now?" Zhang Qiang looked at the first city wall and asked in a deep voice.

You Haibo said: "It's less than four thousand, put two thousand on the second city wall, and you will get more than 500, my lord, including thirty musketeers, 220 musketeers, fifty spearmen, twenty guards, and sword players. Thirty, 110 other miscellaneous soldiers, and more than 60 newly recruited civilians."

"Master Zhu leads 180 troops to defend the west gate, [-] elite servants, and the rest are all miscellaneous soldiers."

"Master Zhou, lead three hundred troops to defend the east gate, and at the same time repair the second city wall and build the fortifications facing the government office at the back."

"In addition, there are [-] other rebel generals who will defend the city wall on the first city wall."

"Master Wei leads one hundred troops, three hundred healthy women, five hundred old people, and four hundred young people. They are building defenses for the county and government offices."

Zhang Qiang pointed to the street where the main entrance leads to the government office: "If the second city wall falls, you lead the army to hold on to this street, and put all the remaining gunpowder, collected firewood, and oil into the houses on both sides of the street, and we will do it again." The feat of burning the Jurchen Tartars."
