In August, since the Manda sea encircled Guangzhou, the troops were divided into four directions, sweeping away all the strongholds on the east bank of the Pearl River and the periphery of the Ming army, and the Qing soldiers wantonly looted, drove hundreds of thousands of nearby villagers, filled in the moat, and built high platforms with soil.

They built hundreds of earthen platforms outside the city that were higher than the city of Guangzhou, which were used to look down on the city of Guangzhou, observe the situation in the city, and condescendingly to fire cannons and shoot arrows into the city.

The land of Fujian and Guangdong, are mountainous and less arable land, but the population is more than 10 million, originally with the harvest of the two places, it is impossible to feed so many people, but fortunately, Guangdong and Fujian foreign trade is developed, Fujian's tea, Guangdong silk, porcelain, medicinal materials, for the two places in exchange for a lot of wealth, and then from Nanyang, from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to buy a large amount of rice grain.

A large part of the grain in Fujian and Guangdong comes from the outside world, and the grain of the Qing army comes from the accumulation of the Zheng family, which is not very much, and it is naturally impossible for the captured villagers to be full.

In the land of Guangnan, the climate is hot, even in autumn, the degree of heat is not inferior to the summer in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing soldiers urged the villagers to fill in the river and pile the soil day and night in the scorching heat, but only give a meal of gruel every day, and the villagers who died of fatigue were not less than more than 100,000.

The women plundered by the Qing soldiers, then the flags were divided, day and night, dozens of miles in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou, Tianhe, Shanmu, Lushe, Qiu Tomb were all gone.

At this time, the defenders of Guangzhou had just repelled another attack by the Qing army, and the soldiers and people who defended the city breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw that the enemy had been defeated and retreated.

The land of Quang Nam, since the Japanese plague was put to peace, has been peaceful for many years.

Unlike the annual conquests in the north, the south of the Ming Dynasty was a different scene, where life was stable and rich, but as soon as the Qing soldiers came, all good things were immediately smashed before barbarism and violence.

The Qing army has been storming for more than half a month, and the city of Guangzhou has shed countless bloodsheds, and the soldiers and people who are killed and wounded every day have shocked the people in the city of Guangzhou.

At this time, the soldiers defending the city were very tired, after the battle, some people dragged their tired bodies, cleaned up the corpses on the city wall, it was the Qing soldiers who threw it directly down the city, and the comrades were carried to a neat place, and after the identity was registered, it was immediately buried.

The main force defending the city was still the regular officers and soldiers from all over western Guangdong, and they took advantage of the gap between the battlefields to sit and rest by the city wall to recover some physical strength in order to prepare for another onslaught of the Qing soldiers.

At this time, a team of people walked up to the city wall from the city, and the soldiers who were originally sitting on the side of the wall suddenly stood up spontaneously one by one, "Your Highness~"

Surrounded by Su Guansheng and others, Zhu Yu, the king of the Tang Dynasty, stepped on the city wall to visit the soldiers who were desperately defending the city, he passed in front of a famous soldier, sometimes paying attention, sometimes patting the soldier's shoulder to show encouragement, and finally suddenly stopped in front of an old soldier with empty sleeves.

Guangzhou's connection with the outside world has not been severed, because of the blockade of the Pearl River by sailors, the western Guangdong provinces have been preserved, and supplies are transported from the Pearl River into Guangzhou every day.

It is precisely because of this lifeline that the price of rice in the city has not skyrocketed, which has helped Su Guansheng stabilize the people's hearts.

The Qing army tried several times to attack the naval division and cut off the connection between Guangzhou and western Guangdong, but they all failed.

It was not only supplies that were brought into the city from western Guangdong, but sometimes reinforcements from various prefectures ranging from a few hundred to nearly a thousand people rowed into the city.

Among them, the Yangzhou soldiers who want to come from Qiongzhou Mansion are the heaviest, and the old pawn is a member of the Yangzhou soldiers, and the Yangzhou people on Qiongzhou Island heard that the Qing soldiers were attacking Guangzhou, so they spontaneously formed more than 2,000 people and rushed to Guangzhou to help in the war, and among the two thousand people, most of them were disabled.

King Tang stroked the empty sleeves of the old pawn, and said with some emotion in his heart, as if he was asking the old pawn, and as if he was asking himself, "How can you pull a bow and arrow with only one arm?" ”

King Tang went to the city almost every day, although he did not participate in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing soldiers, but every time he attacked the city, he would come to boost morale, so most of the defenders knew this highness.

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but stand up straight, and said without hesitation: "Back to Your Highness, although I can't draw a bow and arrow, I can still use a knife, and I can still kill the northern captives." ”

Zhu Yulu was a little moved, "What is your name, where is your family, when the siege of Guangzhou is lifted in the future, this king will definitely reward you!" ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness, the villain Huainan is named Li Dingyi!" The old pawn hurriedly said respectfully: "We Yangzhou people, we don't share the sky with the Beiyu, and if we can kill the Beiyu to avenge our father, our heart will be enough~"

Zhu Yulu patted the old soldier on the shoulder, he also heard that a group of Yangzhou old soldiers came to the city, all of whom followed Wang Yan to guard Yangzhou, and later Wang Yan reorganized the Five Loyal Army, and some of the old soldiers and disabled people were eliminated.

Some of them were assigned to the provinces of western Guangdong and were responsible for training government soldiers, and some of them were placed in Qiongzhou Mansion together with the people of Yangzhou.

This time to defend the city, but thanks to this group of experienced veterans, they not only commanded the government soldiers and the people to fight, but even if they fought, they were much stronger than the new soldiers.

After the Tang King left, several government soldiers immediately surrounded him, "Old Li Tou, Your Highness has praised you~" \u000b can be praised by the Tang Wangjian State, which makes these government soldiers and the people envious. \u000bThe old pawn also said proudly on his face: "Back then, I guarded Yangzhou with the Guogong, and raided the Zhunta camp at night, my arm was lost at that time, I thought I would die, but I didn't expect the Guogong to save me from the pile of dead, and personally dressed my wounds and dressing, that glory I still can't forget to this day!" ”

There are many Guogong in the Ming Dynasty, but when people call them, they generally use the full name, such as Xu Guogong, Mu Guogong and so on. If someone only says the word Guogong, it must be Wang Yan, the Duke of Chu.

As soon as everyone saw His Royal Highness the Tang King's praise for Li Dingyi, and now they heard that the Duke of Guo actually applied medicine to him personally, those soldiers smashed their tongues one by one, and even looked at Li Dingyi with a look of awe.

"Xu Niangzi is here~ Xu Niangzi is here to bring food to everyone~"

At this moment, taking advantage of the gap between the siege of the city, Xu Yanyan and Li Xiangjun, dressed in red makeup, led a group of women to the city with baskets and handed out the prepared flatbread to the soldiers defending the city.

The cruelty of the war made the strict etiquette and religion lose its meaning, not only men and men had to go into battle to kill the enemy, but even women, under the initiation of the government, began to help defend the city and do what they could.

"The Qing soldiers are killing again~"

Suddenly, Li Dingyi shouted, and saw that the Qing soldiers who had just retreated had made a comeback again, and countless Qing soldiers shouted and rushed to the city wall of Guangzhou again.

Tang Wang and his entourage were immediately hugged down the city tower, and the women who delivered food in the city were also ordered to go down to the city, and the guards quickly stood up and began to check the equipment.

"The Qing army is about to attack the city, all armies are not allowed to panic, and the soldiers are returning to their original positions and preparing to meet the enemy~"

For a while, the generals pressed their swords and ran around the city, shouting urgently.

"Boom~" A cannon sounded, on the high platform outside the city of the Qing army, the Hongyi cannon was placed, and a cannon attacked, and immediately killed a Ming army Qianhu, the cannonballs never stopped, and more than a dozen catties of iron bullets smashed several soldiers behind Qianhu into a blur of flesh and blood.
