Then he returned to his tent, and by the dim oil lamp, he wrote his sixth distress letter asking for help.

In the days before this,

General Yuan has already written five related memorials asking for support as Jiayuguan is in danger.

But without exception,

It all went down the drain,

Did not stir up any splashes.

In fact, General Yuan also understood the reason behind this,

I'm afraid it's still the damn faction!

Now the person in charge of military affairs in the imperial court is obviously the Holy Majesty,

But the one who has the real power is the well-known God of Tiedan, Zhu Wushi!

The reason why he was able to reach this position was because of the support of Cao Zhengchun's factory father.

Although in General Yuan's opinion, he is not from Cao Zhengchun's faction, and he has no intention of participating in party struggles,

But as the saying goes,

People in the arena involuntarily.

In fact, it is even more so in the court!

Since General Yuan received Cao Zhengchun's support, he has been tacitly considered by others to belong to Cao Zhengchun's faction.

And Zhu Wushi, who is in charge of the military, has been fighting with Cao Zhengchun for more than ten years.

And Zhu Wushi wanted to take this opportunity to weaken Cao Zhengchun's wings,

So even though he knew that the situation in Jiayuguan was critical, he told the emperor at the court that the Qing soldiers were just playing around.

They don't have any siege weapons and experience in breaking down fortified cities.

It is impossible to break through Jiayuguan only with skilled bow and horse.

And the Holy Majesty didn't understand the actual situation, so he believed this sentence,

So even today, Jiayuguan is about to break the city,

Still no news of reinforcements!

General Yuan also understood this truth in his heart,

But what he didn't understand was, compared to the common people in Mingzhou, are individual rights really so important?

Can [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians be killed just for profit?

Yuan Chonghuan thought of the desolation in his eyes,

He looked up to the sky and sighed: "When will the party struggle end? Don't we have to wait until the country is broken?"

The next day,

With the first rays of morning light,

The Qing army launched another attack on Jiayuguan.

Their arrows are like locusts all over the sky, shooting towards Jiayuguan!

Numerous ladders and siege vehicles are rushing towards the city wall of Jiayuguan,

In the farthest position, there are even five or six giant cannons, which bombarded the Jiayuguan gate!

The weapons of the Jiayuguan defenders have already become tattered after ten days of continuous high-intensity use and no supplies.

Lack of arrows, defense equipment,

The defenders can only rely on their body and will to forcibly resist waves of enemy attacks.

But even so, Jiayuguan does not seem to be able to hold on for much longer.

In the camp of the Qing army,

Chahatu, the general of the [-] Qing army, is constantly planning something on the sand table.

From Zhahatu's point of view, it is already a matter of time before Jiayuguan is captured.

Either today or tomorrow!

He has submitted a military order to the pro-emperor,

This time, Jiayuguan must be captured within half a month.

And the fact is also in line with his expectations,

In just ten days, Jiayuguan was about to be breached.

Chahatu is now planning what to do next after breaking Jiayuguan.

In his view, today's strong attack is the last straw that crushes Jiayuguan!

Tomorrow at the latest, the flag of his Chahatu family will be erected on the majestic pass in front of him.

However, this victory will also become the starting point for Qingzhou to annex Mingzhou!

Chapter 31 The main character always comes last

On Jiayuguan,

General Yuan looked at the densely packed Qing army in the distance,

Looking at the army with only a few thousand people left now,

The heart is full of desolation.

"General Yuan, order the retreat, I really can't hold it anymore!"

The adjutant who just came down from the front line said anxiously.

"Whoever dares to retreat again will be executed in the name of disturbing the morale of the army!"
