General Yuan stared at the adjutant and said seriously.

After all, the general wished to climb onto the high platform and shouted to the lieutenant generals:

"Soldiers, Jiayuguan is the most important pass in Mingzhou and Qingzhou! Once lost, the Qing people will have no obstacles!

At that time, the Qing army will be flattening the river, and we Ming people will be devastated by that time! All we can do is stick to it and wait for the reinforcements to arrive!"

General Yuan said to the lieutenant soldiers confidently, as if they already had support.

But General Yuan knew that support was impossible,

Even if there is, the time is too late.

Deploy troops from Gyeonggi and local areas,

At least it will take seven days to arrive at Jiayuguan.

And defend the city for seven days,

For the current Jiayuguan, it is already an unattainable goal!

General Yuan has already made his choice.

Desperately defend the city,

And when Jiayuguan collapsed,

It's time for him to die for his country!

As for surrender?

General Yuan has already left it behind!

Just when General Yuan thought so,

The offensive of the Qing army outside the gate suddenly stalled.

After a while, the Qing army stopped attacking Jiayuguan.

Just when the guards were confused,

A man in fresh clothes and angry horses walked out of the Qing army,

He rode alone from among thousands of horses to the city wall,

Then he looked up at the Ming army on the city wall and said:

"General Yuan, and all the soldiers present, according to our reliable information, you have no reinforcements!"

"It is only a matter of time for both of us to break Jiayuguan Pass."

"However, we big men appreciate your courage and don't want to see warriors like you die in this place for nothing!"

"As long as you surrender and open and close the door, we can keep your lives safe. After Qingzhou annexes Mingzhou, we will give you preferential treatment!"

"You Han people have a saying that I appreciate very much. A good bird chooses a tree to live in! Our Qing army will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. I hope you will not disappoint our friendliness!"

However, just after the messenger in front of the door finished speaking,

An arrow shot through his throat like a stream of light!

This arrow was shot by General Yuan!

"Anyone who intends to surrender will be killed without mercy!"

General Yuan looked at his soldiers with a frosty face,

The meaning is self-evident.

Qing people, seeing this is the case,

Knowing that the two sides are now at the point of immortality,

There is no possibility of the other party surrendering!

"Continue to attack the city! The first one to occupy the city wall will be rewarded with five hundred good horses!"

Chahatu continued to order the siege,

Countless arrows and siege equipment rushed towards the city wall again!

The two sides started a tug-of-war for the city wall.

The Qing soldiers held huge shields to resist the arrows from top to bottom,

climbing the ladder,

No one dared to retreat now.

This is already the state of the general attack,

Whenever the Qing army in front showed signs of retreating, their pace was slightly slower,

Maybe you will be pushed down and trampled by the people behind,

Turn into flesh!

However, since General Yuan had raided the camp in the early stage,

Most of the Qing army's siege ladders have been burned.

Therefore, the Ming army on the ladder alone can resist a little.

but,

Numerous hooks and locks were thrown onto the Jiayuguan city wall by the strong men of the Qing army from below.

Numerous Qing troops followed these hook locks,

Climb up with a knife in your mouth,

Although the Ming army on the tower had tried their best to resist,

But there are too few people,

The Qing army had too many hooks and locks,

In the end, there were still many Qing troops who went to the city wall along the hook lock to fight the Ming army head-on.
