As soon as Kong Youde walked down the city, a herald came to report: "Lord Qiqi, Xicheng has been attacked by the superior artillery of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and the red-clothed cannon cannot fight back, King Huaishun asks the prince to decide!"

"Decided?" Kong Youde almost collapsed to the ground, at this time, how could he decide, the range and shells of the red-clothed cannon were not as good as the artillery of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and the number was far from enough......

If you can't solve the range problem, no matter how many people there are, you won't be able to kill or damage the Mandate of Heaven!

"Lord ......"

Kong Youde kicked away this short-eyed herald and shouted: "Go back and tell King Huaishun to withdraw from the city first to avoid damage to the red-coated cannon!"

"Yes, Lord Wang!" The herald ran away.

Li Xin, who was outside the southern city, couldn't help laughing when he saw the red-clothed cannon on the head of the city stop firing: "Kong Youde should be to protect the red-clothed cannon and gunners, right?" ”

Xu Erxian hurriedly said: "General, my subordinates pushed the red-clothed cannon over to try it, and my subordinates were already so anxious that they were itching......"

"General Xu is old, and he is still like a hairy boy?" Li Xin laughed and nodded: "Let's go up, although the bombing effect of the red-coated cannon is not as good as that of the howitzer, but every time it is fired, there is only one solid shell, and the general estimates that when bombarding the city wall, it may be more effective than the howitzer." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Xu Erxian removed the red-coated cannon on the head of Haizhou City, just to make meritorious service for the Heavenly Mandate Army, and after receiving Li Xin's military order, he personally rushed to the artillery station, "Quick, the time for meritorious service has come!"

The red-coated cannon at the head of the city was forced to dumb fire by the howitzers, and the gunners under the city became bold and pushed the red-coated cannon to a place of 800 paces below the city, and the closer the distance, the greater the power of the solid bullets.

Xu Erxian knew that there should not be many Tianyou soldiers on the city, so he asked the gunners to bombard the city wall directly.

"Boom...... Long ......"

The solid bullet smashed on the city wall, like an explosion, making a loud noise, Xu Erxian smiled, at this time, he had the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for his sins, after today, he could serve in peace and soul without the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Li Xin saw a piece of dust falling from the city wall from the telescope, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "When the city wall was bombed, it was still a solid bullet!" He beckoned to the herald, "Tell the artillerymen to change the target to the city wall and blow it up as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, General!"

Kong Youde sat down not far from the city, thinking about the artillery of the Heavenly Mandate Army, he was a little panicked, in order to protect himself that day, he didn't send troops to reinforce Haizhou, and now it's Tokyo's turn.

Will Dorgon send reinforcements?

Definitely, if the city of Tokyo is lost, the Mandate of Heaven army will face Shengjing, and Dolgon will definitely send troops to rescue Tokyo for the sake of the Qing Dynasty!

When did the cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty arrive in Tokyo? Will the city of Tokyo last until that time?

Thinking of the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven Army outside the city, Kong Youde became less and less confident, the Mandate of Heaven Army is indeed different from the Ming Army, what if the city of Tokyo is broken?

Kong Youde didn't dare to think about it!

It happened that an observer came back from running, turned over and knelt down, "Lord Wang, it's not good, the Mandate of Heaven Army bombarded the city wall with artillery, and countless shells fell on the city wall, and the city wall was already crumbling......"

"Crumbling...... What the? Kong Youde was like a sheep bitten by a tiger, weak, his legs were sore, and countless Venus stars appeared in front of him, and with the support of the guards, he barely stood up, "Let's go, go to the city and have a look!"

The guards hurriedly stopped him, "Lord Wang, there is danger in the city!"

"At this time, you still say it's dangerous?" Kong Youde seemed to be out of the tiger's mouth, and he recovered a lot of strength in his body, he pushed away the guards, "Once the city is broken, the Heavenly Mandate Army will definitely not let us go!"

As soon as I walked to the city, there was a muffled noise in front of me, and the earth trembled, and two flowering bullets that deviated from the track actually landed at the head of the city, adding two craters to the head of the city.

Kong Youde's hands and feet were cold, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, as if he had been fished up from ice water, if he went down like this, the city wall would be blown up sooner or later, and he would lose the support of the city wall, could the six thousand soldiers in the city resist tens of thousands of Heavenly Mandate troops?

Uncle Regent, if the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty does not rush over, the whole family of the minister will only be loyal to the Qing Dynasty......

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, Kong Youde looked back, and was stunned, "Didn't King Huaishun guard the west gate, why did he rush to the south gate?" ”

"This king heard that the southern city wall seems to be un......safe," Geng Zhongming coughed twice, and his eyes fell on the city wall, "If that's the case, Gongshun Wang, what now?" ”

"What should I do?" Kong Youde's eyes were suddenly filled with gloom, "What is the best way for King Huaishun?" ”

Geng Zhongming looked at the soldiers everywhere and said, "Respectful to the king, can you take a step to speak?" ”

"King Huaishun, please come here!"

"The artillery of the Mandate of Heaven is too powerful, the soldiers at the head of the west city have suffered heavy casualties, and the artillery fire has already extended to the city...... Geng Zhongming said: "You must keep the city of Tokyo......

Kong Youde said: "Is there any message from the regent?" ”

"King Gongshun doesn't have a message from the regent, how can this king receive a message from the regent," Geng Zhongming said: "Now that the situation is urgent, King Gongshun has to think of a way......

Kong Youde said coldly: "King Huaishun plans to go out of the city and surrender? ”

Geng Zhongming said with a calm face: "Where did King Gongshun say, isn't this king discussing with King Gongshun, in Tokyo City, it has always been King Gongshun who is in charge......"

"You want to surrender, but you put a pot of on the king's head?" Kong Youde glared at Geng Zhongming fiercely, "Back in Dengzhou, Shandong, this king was already a person who had died once, and now he has lived for more than ten years, which is enough!"

"If you obey the king, don't you think about the brethren?" Geng Zhongming gritted his teeth and said, "It's to be obedient to the king and sacrifice his life for righteousness, but what about his family?" ”

"What righteousness is in the heart of this king?" Kong Youde sneered: "Since this king has taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty, he is a dog of the Qing Dynasty, everything about this king is given by the Qing Dynasty, and whoever the Qing Dynasty asks this king to bite, this king will bite whom!"

"This ......" Geng Zhongming's face was red, and he was speechless for a while.

"King Huaishun thinks that if he goes out of the city and surrenders to the Mandate of Heaven Army, he can save his life?" Kong Youde's eyes suddenly gave birth to a trace of contempt, "There is a message in the city, the Heavenly Mandate Army only kills you and me, and the rest don't ask, doesn't King Huaishun know?" ”

"This king naturally knows that these rumors may not be true...... Geng Zhongming avoided Kong Youde's gaze, gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe the Heavenly Mandate Army can let go of this king's family......"

"King Huaishun will dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival," Kong Youde waved his hand, "King Huaishun is at his own convenience, and this king swears to live and die together in Tokyo City!"

Geng Zhongming's face was full of shame, although he didn't know what he was wrong, he was still impressed by Kong Youde's righteousness, and he bowed his hand to Kong Youde, "This king will go to Ximen to guard!"

Not long after Geng Zhongming left, the artillery outside the city suddenly stopped, Kong Youde was shocked, and there were already soldiers reporting: "Lord Wang, there is a group of soldiers outside the city close to the city wall!"

Finally a siege?

Kong Youde's eyes lit up, "How many people came?" ”

"It's a team of more than ten people, in the hands of a soldier in the lead, waving a white flag, shouting something as he walks......"

"White flag?" Kong Youde was stunned, which one is this, a team of more than ten people is obviously not here to attack the city, is the Mandate of Heaven army going to surrender?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The Mandate of Heaven Army is not a Ming army, and they will never surrender when they have absolute superiority.

Peace talks? No, it's persuasion!

Kong Youde remembered that the spies of the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city had already released the rumors, except for himself and Geng Zhongming, the rest of the servants did not ask.

It must be the Heavenly Blessing soldiers in the city who surrendered, Kong Youde snorted coldly, "I want to see what you have to say!"

He walked slowly towards the city, and the guards hurriedly came to stop him, "Lord Wang, there is ...... danger on the city."

"At this time, where is not the danger?" Kong Youde pushed away the guards, walked slowly to the head of the city, and looked down from the battlement, sure enough, there was a team of more than ten people, stopped a hundred steps away, and suddenly one person walked out of the team, not the strange clothing common to soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army, but full body armor, only half of the face was exposed.

Kong Youde felt a little familiar, "Who is this person?" ”

A person next to him said: "It seems to be Xu Erxian, the deputy general of Haizhou City!"

"Xu Erxian?" Kong Youde remembered that he had seen Xu Erxian, and when this person appeared in the city, he must have taken refuge in the Mandate of Heaven Army.

"This will be Xu Erxian, the deputy general of Haizhou City," Xu Erxian's voice was a little old, but he was very angry, "Haizhou City is broken, and this general has already returned to Huaxia." ”

Kong Youde said angrily: "Xu Erxian, you are eating the Yulu of the Qing Dynasty, but you have taken refuge in Huaxia, and you still have the face to come to Tokyo?" ”

"The King of Gongshun is wrong," Xu Erxian's face did not change and his heart did not beat, "King Gongshun ate the Ming Dynasty's Yulu back then, but rebelled in Dengzhou, and in the end, didn't he take refuge in the Ming Dynasty's sworn enemy Daqing?" ”

"You ......" Kong Youde said angrily: "The Ming Dynasty is corrupt, and the brothers are fighting in front, but they can't even eat enough, and this king has to ...... it."

"The Ming Dynasty is indeed corrupt, and the rewards and punishments are unknown, so the general also took refuge in the Qing Dynasty with the King of Zhishun," Xu Erxian said: "Now that China has overthrown the corrupt Ming Dynasty, the Han people are thriving, and the emperor is a rare Ming monarch, so the general will wake up to ......."

"You took refuge in Huaxia?"

"It's not to take refuge, it's to go home," Xu Erxian said: "The prosperity of the country has given the Han people in Liaodong a way to live, and the generals will naturally go home, and the leaves will return to their roots in the future." ”

"Shame on you!" Kong Youde gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Erxian, you despicable villain, you just put a national halo on your shameless face!"

"The word 'shameless', Ben Jiang hopes that the King of Gongshun will not say it easily," Xu Erxian sneered: "Ben will advise the King of Gongshun, follow the Manchu Qing, there is only one way to die, the Manchu Qing can't even keep themselves, can they still take care of you as a minion?" ”

Kong Youde's heart moved, and he was speechless for a while.

"Did King Gongshun ever think that the Mandate of Heaven army had besieged Haizhou and Tokyo for so long, why didn't Dolgon send the Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry to the rescue?"

"Why?" Kong Youde was secretly shocked in his heart, he also felt that something was wrong, could it be that something had happened to Daqing?
