Cheng Xiaolian stood on the top of the city wall at the pass with a heavy face: "Look at them, they were blocked by us, and they probably didn't expect the artillery and trebuchets, although it was chaotic, no one flinched, so this battle was a tough battle." ”

Qin Yue nodded: "At the beginning, we lost to the three feudatories, but now it seems that we are not wronged. But they were not afraid, and neither were the soldiers of their courtiers. ”

Threatened by trebuchets and artillery fire from both sides, the boats all advanced, and in less than a quarter of an hour they rushed to the bottom of the pass, and immediately lined up to shoot arrows at the head of the city.

Although the small boat is fast, the height is not high enough, and it is unrealistic to jump from the small boat to the pass, so they chose to suppress the offensive of the defenders on the pass wall and let the big ship reach the city safely.

Geng Jingzhong showed a pleased smile at his eyes: "The Shang family hasn't let go of training the army in these years." ”

Shang Zhixin also smiled: "We are all eating this bowl of rice, only if we can fight can we occupy a place in this world, if we can't even fight, who will look down on us?" When the time comes, let's handle it as much as we want. ”

Geng Jingzhong sighed: "It's also to blame our fathers for being too timid, look at what life Wu Sangui has been living all these years?" The governor of Yunnan is a lackey of his subordinates, but what kind of life did our two families live, saying that they would go back to their hometown to support the elderly, the court said that we were difficult to control, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and did not even save face for us, this little emperor is too kind. ”

Shang Zhixin's face was a little strange: "Our fathers fought the world for the regent and the old emperor, and the little emperor has never seen our military exploits, once a son of heaven and a courtier." His tone was a little vague, naturally because his family has now been praised by the emperor, and it is estimated that the throne will be able to be kept without him, so naturally he does not have the confidence to speak ill of the Qing court.

Geng Jingzhong also heard some rumors, and knew that the Shang family seemed to be playing some tricks on both ends of the snake and rat, but now that the two of them were in the same boat, there was no need to say those hurtful words.

However, in his heart, he looks down on this kind of two-headed betting, the reason why the founding Zhongshan Wang family of the Ming Dynasty dares to bet on both ends is because it is an uncle beating a nephew, and they have a good relationship with both families. In the future, whether Wu Sangui gets the world or the Qing court unifies the world, who of them doesn't understand your family's wishful thinking? Will your Shang family have good fruit to eat?

Cheng Xiaolian will definitely praise a clever sentence here, it is indeed written in the history books of later generations, although Shang Kexi was buried by the court after his death, but his throne was only terminated by his son, and in the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Shang family no longer had any holy family, and the later emperors of the Qing court left a little room for the Shang family to survive, probably not wanting to expose the lies left by their ancestors.

At this time, the big ship has reached the bottom of the pass after many dangers, and the soldiers on the ship immediately began to prepare to jump to fight.

However, the defenders at the head of the city had already prepared, and the soldiers in the front row each took out a spear with a long spear in their hands, and there were barbs hanging on the tips of the long hair, whether you were hiding or caught, it would make you uncomfortable.

Because the wall was built on water, the ladder could not be used at all, and there were no rolling logs and stones on the city, even barbed spears and crossbow shooters.

Cheng Xiaolian stood on the high place of the inner wall and watched them fight: "These people are really fierce, they dare to jump to fight at this height." ”

Qin Yue smiled bitterly: "My Highness, if they don't jump to fight, how else can they fight?" The gates don't open from the inside. ”

The two sides immediately fell into a fierce hand-to-hand combat, the small boat under the city, the archers constantly interfered with the defenders of the city, the trebuchets at the head of the city, the artillerymen on the cliff and the archers on the pass did not rest, in the face of the fierce offensive, the soldiers of the mountain and river army barely stood up to meet them, they understood what a real strong army is like, it is simply not afraid of death.

Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "I heard that when the Geng Shang coalition army was in the southeast, it was defeated by the Manchu army, they are all fierce, what should the Manchu army look like?" ”

Qin Yue laughed: "Your Highness is too worried, they don't dare to fight with the Manchu army, but because they have lost first in their hearts, they have followed the Manchu Qing Dynasty to fight in those years, and it is estimated that they have already left the impression that the Manchu Qing are invincible in their hearts, although the soldiers of the older generation are dead, but this impression is estimated to disappear for a while and a half, if the Manchu Qing are really so fierce, Wu Sangui has to be fierce to be what he looks like in order not to fall behind." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at him: "We still have more tough battles." Fortunately, it wasn't Wu Sangui's men and horses who came this time, otherwise we were afraid that we wouldn't even be able to take a move, and wiped out the two teams of Wang Ping Fan in Sichuan, which made me despise Wu Sangui's people, now that I think about it, those people are probably not Wu Sangui's descendants, maybe most of them are still recruited in Sichuan. ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "Your Highness doesn't have to be too nervous, although these people are fierce, aren't our people still next, this tough battle will have a numb scalp and weak feet at the beginning, and when you get used to it, that's it." ”

Cheng Xiaolian also smiled: "Commander Yang, you come up with a wise quote or two from time to time, which really makes me ashamed, I am really wronged by being a commander of the Jinyi Guard." ”

"Don't be wronged, don't be wronged, I'll have this life in my life, and I'm already satisfied to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard."

Yang Youcai also looked at Cheng Xiaolian a little nervous, so he explained two sentences, this kind of war naturally does not need to be in the position of Myanmar, one battle and two moves cannot distinguish the winner at all, Cheng Xiaolian must stabilize his mind, otherwise the military spirit can be easily fluctuated.

In the battle between you and me, a few hours have passed, and Geng Jingzhong's face is very unhappy: "Originally, I said that I spent the night in Qutang Pass tonight, but I couldn't break Qutang Pass?" ”

Shang Zhixin laughed: "I expected this a long time ago, if it was really so easy to break, Wu Sangui's old ghost would not have sent us over to pick up the bargain." But it doesn't matter, you see that many of the defenders at the head of the city are no longer as fierce as they were at the beginning, which means that they have not fought any hard battles, and it is estimated that the whole army will be defeated in the next two days. Today, let's get some good sleep. ”

With the sound of gold, the fleet in the water began to collect troops, this day lost eight large ships, thirty small boats, but these horses are nothing to Geng Jingzhong Monk Zhixin, the city began to be a little unbearable, this battle casualties nearly 2,000 people, and the soldiers in the battle are a little tired, and the confidence is not so full at the beginning.
