The sound of "boom~" cannon sounded outside the city, and the huge Hongyi cannon smashed solid cannonballs on the city wall, smashing the old city wall of Yongding City to pieces, and countless broken bricks peeled off from the city wall, leaving a deep pit, and it was a matter of time before it collapsed.

The plugging Yin tin department retreated into Xiangxi in a hurry, all the materials and artillery were lost, and the Ming army, which was good at firearms, was bombarded by the artillery fire of the Qing army, and there was no power to fight back.

Geng Zhongming led the Han army with Shen Zhixiang, the Duke of Shun, and a green battalion, with a total of 10,000 horses and horses, while he took the Han army's Zhenghuang Banner and the remaining green battalion, a total of 30,000 troops, and surrounded more than 20,000 people in the city.

Plugging Yinxi sent Jin Shijie, the living beings of Lizhou, to Changsha to ask for help, but He Tengjiao said that the army was newly defeated, the soldiers had no morale, and he was afraid that the Qing soldiers would attack from Changde, so they could not divide the troops to save each other.

Shijie was shocked when he heard this, and knocked his head on the ground and said: "If the superintendent does not send troops, he will be blocked!" ”

He Tengjiao said: "The people and horses of the Chuang Department are good at fighting, but they can defend the city to the death, and now the governor is going, and he is not the opponent of the Qing army. Shijie can return quickly, waiting for the Duke of Chu to stay and change the battle situation. ”

Shijie listened to the crying and pleading, He Tengjiao and Fu Shangrui ignored it, and they all brushed their sleeves away.

Governor Shijie couldn't do it, so he cried and cried, so he had to go north to find Wang Yan, he got on the horse and scolded out of the city, and went to Yuezhou.

But he said that he was in Yongding, looking forward to the Changsha soldiers, but there was no movement, his men broke the army, all the way under the pursuit of the cavalry, escaped into Yongding, most of the armor and weapons were lost, and most of them were wounded, and there was no food and grass in the city, which was very painful.

On this day, the Qing army under the city suddenly shot a letter into the city, saying that there was an old man who wanted to see the duke, and he had something to say about the duke.

Plugging Yinxi ordered people to let the envoy into the city, but he was once the commander of Daming Lake, Huang Shuye.

Huang Shu bowed to Plug Yinxi and said, "Today, on the orders of King Huaishun, I have come to advise Block Duke." Since ancient times, the people who know the times are Junjie, and the land of Jiuli under the control of the public today belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and there is only a lonely city and a district, there is no grain and grass inside, and there is no rescue outside, and it is in danger. If the public doesn't follow Shu's words and return to the Qing Dynasty, he can restore the town of Jingchu and save the life of the city. Shu Yuangong pondered it. ”

Plug Yinxi was furious when he heard this, "In the past, you instigated Zuozhen to rebel in the east, which was bad for the overall situation of the court. ”

Huang Shu, as the imperial historian sent by the imperial court to the local area, not only did not mediate, but instead used Zuo Liangyu's troops as the backing to try to take the opportunity to improve his status in the imperial court.

Today, Ma Shiying still led the remnants of the army and fought against the Qing soldiers in eastern Zhejiang, but he himself voted for the Qing court. It can be said that the traitor has become a loyal minister, and the loyal minister has become a traitor who has forgotten his ancestors.

Huang Shu saw that Governor Yinxi was like this, and his face was embarrassed, but he didn't give up, "King Huaishun has good intentions, he wants to save the life of the prince, and the public will resist it, and the city will be slaughtered all over the city!" If the public surrenders, then the high-ranking officials will immediately be high-ranking and generous, why is the public obsessed with not realizing it? ”

Plugging Yinxi angrily: "Ben Fu is the minister of the Heavenly Dynasty, how can he betray his righteousness and surrender to the country!" If the city is broken, there will be death. The jade can be broken and cannot be changed, the bamboo can be burned but not destroyed, don't say more, get out of the city quickly, and let Geng Zhongming and Benfu fight to the death! ”

Huang Shu saw that Du Yinxi had given an eviction order, his face hesitated, and when Du Yinxi saw this, he drew his sword in anger and wanted to behead, and Huang Shu left Yongding in a hurry.

Geng Zhongming got Huang Shu's advice, scolded secretly, and urged the army to step up the siege of the city, after the city was broken, the whole city was killed, and no chickens and dogs were left.

When the Qing soldiers heard the order, their morale was greatly boosted, and they stormed Yongding City every day, while the Ming army was on the low city wall, and the Qing soldiers repeatedly tug-of-war, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed into a river.

It's just that the Ming army is a remnant of the defeated army after all, and after the Qing army besieged the city for half a month, there is no grain and grass in the plug Yinxi, and there are no reinforcements outside, the Ming army has slowly reached the limit, the mules and horses have already been slaughtered, and the people's food has been eaten.

At this time, the Ming army had just repelled an attack by the Qing army, and on the city wall, a team of Ming army generals and colonels, escorting a middle-aged man in his forties, walked from the city tower to a section of the devastated city wall in the artillery fire, and the tarnished armor on their bodies, as well as the official robes that the men could not see the color, all told the difficult situation of the defenders.

"Boom~"

A cannonball smashed on the wall, the rubble flew, and a nearby Ming soldier screamed directly, and was bombed down from the city, and the general who was protecting the man saw this, and immediately held a shield to protect it.

The man was the governor of Hunan, Du Yinxi, and he waved his hand, indicating that the soldiers did not need to be nervous, "General Gao, is this here?" ”

Gao Yigong raised his hand and pointed to the city wall a little tiredly: "Lord Futai, look, there is already a one-foot crack there, I am afraid that if I hit a few more shots, it will all collapse, and when the time comes~"

Du Yinxi looked at the place he pointed, and couldn't help but sigh, knowing that the day the city was broken was just around the corner.

"He Tengjiao has not sent troops and horses to rescue for a long time, Yongding City is not a big city, and we are completely unprepared, we are in a hurry, and we can hold it to this day, thanks to the ability of General Gao, to fight to the death with the sons!" At this time, Du Yinxi looked at the many generals around him, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Half a month ago, they were still in high spirits, with nearly 300,000 horses besieging Jingzhou, and they had the potential to swallow Jingchu, but now they have reached the point of exhaustion.

The Battle of Jingzhou failed, Li Guo waited for nearly 100,000 main forces on the north bank of the Yangtze River and retreated into western Hubei, while Plug Yinxi collected the rout on the south bank and retreated all the way to Xiangxi.

When he surrendered, he may have made many promises to the Shun army, but now none of them have been fulfilled, but the Shun army who believed in him was brought to death, so Du Yinxi felt guilty for a while.

"General Gao, while the city is strong and has not collapsed, you will break through with men and horses tonight~" Du Yinxi's face was full of helplessness, "From Yongding to the west, the terrain is extremely steep, Geng Zhongming's elite cavalry cannot play a role, Benfu delays in the city for a day, you can get rid of the pursuit, or go north to meet General Li, or enter Chenzhou in the south, here in the west to Yungui, east to control Chenyuan, north to Sichuan, south to Guibian, the general to manage with heart, can still fight a war!" ”

Gao Yigong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but be full of tears, they fought with the officers and soldiers before, even if he was killed and injured heavily, he didn't have a sense of tragedy, but this time he fought with the Qing soldiers, but his heart was full of sadness, which made his throat choke for a while, "Futai~"

Du Yinxi immediately waved his hand to interrupt his words, "General Gao, you don't need to say much, you should make up your mind, you go and prepare~"

When Gao Yigong heard this, he had to hug his fists with grief and indignation, "Nuo ~ the last general will take the order!" ”

Plugging Yinxi turned back to the city tower and began to write down the last pen, "The minister is not to die in Jingzhou, he originally wanted to enter Changde in the south, based on northern Hunan, regroup, and did not intend to chase to Changde, the minister was invincible, and followed the west into Yongding, and then the captives chased after him, and surrounded the subjects in the city." Now the towns of Changsha are willing to bear the grace of the country, retreat from the front without authorization, see the danger and do not save the back, so that the ministers are trapped in the place of death, the ministers are only committed to the festival of Wenshan, and repay the two ancestors with a death, and repay the grace of His Majesty! ”
