Although Wang Yan and the imperial court did not issue an order to urge, it is needless to say that they hope that Chen Bangyan and Liu Shun will end the Yangzhou war as soon as possible.

Chen Bangyan and Liu Shun were commanding a major battle of this scale for the first time, and Wang Yan did not give an explicit order, but also took care of the feelings of the two.

Liu Shun listened to Chen Bangyan's words and knew that if he couldn't defeat Yangzhou, it would not only break the morale of the Ming army, but he would also lose face personally, and at the same time, it would also affect the king of Chu who trusted him and embarrass Wang Yan, which made him hold his breath in his heart.

In order to prevent the Ming army from stealing the city, Duoduo almost copied Wang Yan's strategy of defending the city, demarcated the land to defend the city, and arranged fixed guards for each wall battlement, and the whole team was beheaded when the battlements were lost.

The entire Qing army in Yangzhou was divided into three squads by him, and they rotated every four hours, so no matter what time it was, there were enough guards on Yangzhou City.

Originally, there were many Green Battalion generals in the city who had correspondence with the Ming army, but now there is no news, and they are mostly shocked by Duoduo's ferocious methods.

After the Ming army re-entered Yangzhou, although Duoduo sent Manchurian henchmen to take over the Green Battalion soldiers, he was still not at ease, so he feasted the generals in the city.

During the banquet, he suddenly shouted violently, saying that among the people who went to the banquet, the Ming army was meticulous, and then ordered three people casually, and in front of many green camp generals, they were directly chopped and boiled into broth in Dading, so that everyone could share the food, and many green camp generals were scared to death.

In fact, although Duoduo knew that there must be someone in the city who colluded with the Ming army, he didn't know who it was, so he casually ordered three little Luo Luo and killed them directly.

If there is really a person who colludes with the Ming army, the other accomplices will naturally be afraid in their hearts, thinking that Duoduo's intelligence is powerful, so they dare not act rashly, if there is no collusion with the Ming army, it doesn't matter, killing these three people will make those who are secretly clear feel frightened, thinking that the three people are hidden deeply, there is no sign of clarity, and they are actually found out by Duoduo, then they need to be more careful.

Duoduo's hand was cruel and ruthless, but it shocked the green battalion, causing the Ming army to shoot several letters of surrender into the city, but did not wait for any response.

The Heaven and Earth Society also has no opportunity to move because of the strict patrols in the city.

At this time, the green battalion soldiers wearing red hats and gowns stood between the wall stacks with spears in their hands, revealing half of their bodies, and the flames burning in the brazier beside them swayed in the wind.

On the third watch day, in the middle of the night, the sky was a little gloomy, densely covered with layers of dark clouds, covering the stars and moons, and the night wind blew through to make people feel a coolness, as if an autumn rain was coming.

The Ming army approached the city, Duoduo personally sat in the west city, the Qing army did not dare to relax, a team of Qing army archers at the head of the city, pinched the point, soaked the arrow wrapped in cotton cloth in the oil can, and then lit it on the brazier.

More than a dozen archers, at the same time, pulled their bows apart, mounted rockets, and shot down the city with a thud, the arrows streaked across the night sky like meteors, and fell to the ground, illuminating the other side of the moat.

This is the routine observation of the Qing army, every night for more than a month, the Qing army on duty at night will shoot a few arrows every other time, that is, to observe the city by the light of the fire, to prevent the Ming army from stealing the city.

After releasing the arrows, the archers put away their bows, and the leader looked at the city that was dotted with more than a dozen flames, and suddenly saw a large black figure swaying under the city.

The general manager was suddenly shocked, and took a step back in panic, and the archers next to him saw it, noticed that the situation was abnormal, turned their heads to look out of the city, and hurriedly took a few steps before the alarm bell.

??? A hurried "Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock ~" bell rang, the Qing army in the city suddenly had a commotion, Duoduo heard the alarm bell, and also took the generals and staff to climb the city wall, but the dark clouds covered the moonlight at night, and they basically couldn't see the situation under the city.

Duoduo hurried to the city, called the general on duty, and asked urgently, "What is the matter with the police?"

General Man brought the general who discovered the situation and reported to the general on his knees: "Lord Wang, there are countless figures in the city, and the slaves can't see the specific situation clearly." ”

Hearing this, Duoduo frowned slightly, and then turned back to the generals beside him and said, "Set off the fireball and see the situation!"

"Wow!" A man made a horse, and then immediately mobilized nearly a hundred gunners, they pulled ropes under the city, the soldiers put the fireball into the bomb pocket, the torch was lit, the gunner went down with a hammer, the live hook fell off, and the long throwing rod immediately threw the fireball.

The burning fireball rose into the air, like a meteorite falling from the sky, streaked across the night sky, Duoduo's face was covered with frost, and he immediately saw clearly outside the city by the light of the fire, a black and oppressive figure wielding a hoe, digging a deep trench under the city, many people were half of their bodies already underground, they were constantly using shovels, throwing up the dirt, and the dust was flying.

Duoduo saw the situation clearly, he was surprised, he immediately understood the intention of the Ming army, dog day, he learned the Ming Dynasty's method of defending the city, but the Ming army is now engaged in their set back then.

The Ming army's canal was about to connect to the moat, and Duoduo was preparing to organize a surprise attack in the next two days, blowing up a gap and pouring water into the unfinished canal, so that they could not continue to dig deep and wide, but now the Ming army had trapped him first.

Duoduo was a little heartbroken, regretting that he was a step too slow, and this was not only a matter of not being able to destroy the canal, I am afraid that even the connection and cooperation with Shizhai would be severed.

"Quick, quickly mobilize artillery and artillery trucks, bombard this king, and can't let them continue to dig."

At night, outside the four gates of Yangzhou, a deafening cannon sound sounded almost at the same time, and countless fireballs were thrown out, illuminating the four Yangzhou men at night and illuminating the Ming army that was lined up in formation and waiting in the distance.

Liu Shun was riding on a horse, and behind him were the pikemen, and the fireballs thrown by the Qing army illuminated the spears in their hands and the armor on their bodies.

Duoduo saw that the Ming army was prepared, and he didn't know how many men and horses there were, so he didn't dare to send troops out of the city for fear of being ambushed by the Ming army.

The counterattack of the Qing army in the city was broken, and only the artillery on the city and the artillery behind the city were broken.

At night, the city walls and the dark city city spewed out flames from time to time, and the "booming" cannon sound rang out one after another.

The Qing army on the city poured countless shells and fireballs into the city, but the effect was not great, mainly because the Ming army dug the trench very methodically, the soldiers lay on the ground, first dig a pit, hide in it, and then dig in two pits, connect into a line, the soldiers are hiding in the pit and digging, unless they are particularly unlucky, they will not be injured by the artillery fire at the head of the city.

Outside the city gate, thousands of men and horses were digging under artillery fire, constantly lifting the earth, and several trenches were carried out at the same time, and it began to take shape in a short time, and the scene was very spectacular.

Under the artillery fire, Liu Shun's war horse was a little restless, he grabbed the reins with one hand, and looked sharply at the situation at the city gate, strictly preventing the Qing cavalry from suddenly rushing out, and at the same time his eyes scanned the situation of digging the trench from time to time, when he saw that several trenches had been completed, the soldiers began to dig into the moat on both sides of the city gate with their shields, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the Qing soldiers in the city were separated from the stone village, he would definitely be able to take the stone village.
