After hearing Tuso's words, Dolgon's face became gloomy, and he said coldly: "This king doesn't care how many White Snake troops are still in the city, within an hour, this king will see all the troops enter the city."

This time, this king must kill Li Zixiao and get rid of this confidant for me.

Tuso, you yourself bring up another 5,000 men, and the king must enter the city in an hour, or else you will come to see you. ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

Tu Suo answered, and ordered 5,000 Qing soldiers to kill Shouzhang City again.

At this time, at the eastern city wall of Shouzhang, the battle between the White Dragon Army and the Qing soldiers who attacked the city wall became more tragic.

One side is stubbornly defending and not retreating, and the other side is given a death order to attack it.

The two sides are fighting in the aisle of the city wall, you go back and forth, and the corpses have already covered the aisle of the city wall and the horse road, and the blood is like a stream, flowing down the city wall and horse road.

The soldiers on both sides are now completely fighting, stepping on pools of blood and water, stepping on the corpses of dead soldiers on both sides of the enemy and us.

And the most tragic thing was the fight between the more than 30 elite guards led by Quartz and the Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang team.

Peng!

Poof!

Quartz swung his iron rod and smashed a Tartar soldier into the air, slamming it into the wall on one side, causing the white soldier to vomit blood.

Quartz originally planned to walk over and make up for this Tartar white armor soldier with another stick, completely ending the life of this Tartar white armor soldier.

"Ahh Minggou, die! ”

But the Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang next to him roared angrily, slashed the White Dragon Army guards who were blocking him with a knife, and slashed towards the quartz.

The sharp blade slashed at the quartz, so that he had to temporarily let go of the seriously injured Tartar white-armored soldier to deal with this Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang, and the two fought together.

Around them, lying the corpses of dozens of Qing soldiers and White Dragon Army guards, who had died in the previous battle.

So far, there are only seven or eight soldiers on both sides who are still alive, and basically all of them are wounded.

On Quartz's silver-white armor, there was a deep knife mark on his chest, splitting his fine armor.

At the same time, there were multiple knife wounds on his left shoulder, under his ribs, and on his lower abdomen, and blood stained his armor and placket, and the helmet he was wearing did not know where it had been lost.

Quartz, who is strong in martial arts, has been injured to this extent, which shows how dangerous this battle is.

The Qing soldiers who were killed by Quartz were five people, including two white-armored soldiers, and even the last white-armored soldier was seriously injured by him just now.

At this moment, the only people who can stand here are him, and that Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang, as well as a few Qing soldiers and White Dragon Army guards who are still fighting not far away.

"Minggou, take your life!"

That Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang had already killed the red eyes at this time, and he killed Quartz.

"Dog Tartar, you're left alone, and I'll send you on my way."

And Quartz was expressionless, dragging an iron rod, to meet this Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang, this is a fierce enemy, this is a battle of life and death.

A moment later, the Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang slashed at Quartz, cutting through the armor and slashing into Quartz's flesh, blood gushing out.

But this also gave Quartz a chance, and Quartz's iron rod was ruthlessly swung out, directly smashing on the head of this Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang, directly smashing his head.

Poof!

The head of the Tartar cow Lu Jingzhang was like a watermelon that had been smashed with a stick, white and red sprayed everywhere, and a headless corpse fell.

"Lao Zhang, Wuwa, Lao Tzu has avenged you."

After smashing the head of this Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang, Quartz gritted his teeth, pulled out the long knife stuck in his armor, and whispered to the two corpses of the White Dragon Army guards not far away.

Immediately, Quartz dragged the injured body, carried the iron rod, walked to the seriously injured Tartar white-armored soldier who was trying to get up, laughed cruelly, and smashed the iron rod down.

Poof!

Another sound similar to the explosion of a watermelon sounded, and quartz ended the life of the Tartar white-armored soldier.

The whole process of the fight between Quartz and this elite team of Tartars was all clearly seen by Li Zixiao on the top floor of the restaurant in the city with a clairhandly mirror.

When in the end, when Li Zixiao saw that Quartz and them had won a miserable victory, killing all the elite people of that small group of Tartars, and finally there were only four people left who could still stand, he was shocked at the same time, but also felt sorry for those dead guards.

The guards that Quartz brought were all by Li Zixiao's side before, and they were all responsible for protecting his safety, all of which Li Zixiao had seen before, and even a few of them were guards he was very familiar with, and they all died at this time.

This made Li Zixiao feel very uncomfortable, but his face was expressionless, and his body kept standing there straight, making the other White Dragon Army soldiers around him feel at ease.

However, at this time, what the other White Dragon Army soldiers could not see, Li Zixiao's palm hidden in his sleeve was trembling slightly.

"Send an order to Peng Hao, Quartz and Li Ziwu, let them take the people, remove the city wall, retreat into the city, give this place to the Qing soldiers, and let the Qing soldiers enter the city to fight.

Our arrangement in the city is almost done, let the Qing army enter the city, and then play slowly. ”

In the end, Li Zixiao still issued an order to let the defenders on the city wall withdraw into the city to fight.

He could also see that as more and more Qing soldiers climbed the city wall, they could no longer hold the city wall, and continuing to defend it would make them lose more men and horses.

On the contrary, it is better to let his men and horses retreat into the city, relying on the complex terrain in the city, continue to fight with the Qing army, and delay time.

In the past two days, more than 100,000 people in the city have not been idle.

Tens of thousands of green shapes, according to Li Zixiao's instructions, demolished walls and dug ditches in the city, and completely changed the outer streets in the city, making them more suitable for defensive operations.

This is also the last line of defense prepared by Li Zixiao to resist the Qing army.

Dangdang!

Soon, a gong sounded in the city.

Peng Hao, who was still fighting with the Qing soldiers on the city wall, immediately understood what Li Zixiao meant after hearing the sound of the gong.

"The lord has signaled, let's retreat."

Peng Hao turned his head and glanced at the restaurant where Li Zixiao was now.

However, Peng Hao also knew very well that at this time, the thousands of White Dragon Army and militia soldiers on the city wall had been strangled with the Qing soldiers, and it was not easy to retreat.

Li Zixiao also thought of this before, at this time, he could only break his wrist and leave a small number of men and horses to temporarily block the Qing soldiers and cover the rest of the horses to retreat into the city.

"The Flying Dragon Battalion left a large group and a flag, and the rest of the soldiers withdrew into the city."

In the end, as Peng Hao issued an order, let a banner of men and horses stay, temporarily blocking the Qing soldiers, and the rest of the White Dragon Army soldiers and militia withdrew into the city.

"Yes, the last will obey."

A white dragon army banner general in his early thirties, after hearing Peng Hao's order, answered loudly with a red neck.

"General, please retreat into the city with the wounded of our banner, so that you can give us a banner and leave the seeds."

A flag will face Peng Hao and say.

"Okay, Ben agreed. Take care. ”

Peng Hao's eyes were moist, he looked at the subordinate in front of him, his eyes were complicated, and he continued to say in a deep voice: "Chen Deng, if you have any other requirements, put it forward now, and it will be conveyed to the lord." ”

Peng Hao knew that this task was a mortal mission, leaving a banner of people to block the Qing soldiers, and it was basically impossible for anyone to survive in the end.

But Chen Deng, the banner general in front of him, still accepted this order without hesitation, and at the same time, his eyes were resolute and decisive, and he also had the heart of death.

"Hey, general, there are no requirements from my subordinates, anyway, the wives and children in the family are old and young, and there will be a government official and a lord to support my subordinates, and my subordinates can rest assured.

Please also ask the general to go back and tell the lord that his subordinates will not embarrass the lord, and will never disgrace our White Dragon Army.

In the next life, his subordinates will still follow the lord. ”

Chen Deng smiled innocently, finished speaking to Peng Hao, and then gave a final salute, then turned his head and yelled: "Brother Yiqi, go with Lao Tzu, kill the Tartars, and cover the generals to retreat from the city." ”

"Kill the Tartars!"

The soldiers of the White Dragon Army who were surrounded by a banner also understood their mortal mission, but none of them flinched, and they still rushed into the sky, followed behind Chen Deng, and took the initiative to kill the Tartars.

"It's all good Erlang! Brothers, let's go! ”

Peng Hao looked at the remaining more than two hundred soldiers of the banner who rushed forward without hesitation, his mind was moved, and he muttered in a low voice.

"The rest of the people, follow me into the city, don't let General Chen and Yiqi's brothers sacrifice in vain, go!"

Immediately, Peng Hao waved his hand, and with the rest of the thousands of white dragon soldiers and militiamen, he quickly followed the horse road, retreated from the city wall, and retreated into the city.

At the same time, on the horse roads in several other directions, Li Ziwu and other generals of the White Dragon Army of Quartz Deng, and several other groups of men and horses led by them, were also doing the same thing as Peng Hao.

They also left a group of White Dragon soldiers to cover the rest of the horses to retreat into the city.

"Report, Lord Wang, Lord Tuso has defeated the White Snake Army and completely occupied the city wall, and the remnants of the White Snake Army are retreating into the city."

Half an hour later, Dolgon outside the city received a report from a Qing soldier, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.

"Let Tuso clear the city gate as soon as possible, and let the army enter the city." Dorgon commanded.

"Yes, lord."

Just when Li Zixiao ordered Peng Hao to abandon the city wall and retreat to the city, Li Zixiao also sent someone to convey this order to Du Tengfei on the north side of the city gate.

The battle on the side of the North City Gate is no worse than that on the side of the East City Gate, and it is equally tragic.

This was mainly because the attack on the north gate was led by 5,000 Tartars with white flags led by Duoduo.

At this time, Duoduo experienced being defeated by Li Zixiao before, and let him flee in embarrassment.

even recaptured Shouzhang City from him, and took back all the people they had coerced in the previous half a month, as well as the money and food they had seized, so that they fell short.

In this way, Duoduo, who originally hated Li Zixiao, deepened his hatred for Li Zixiao.

This time, Dolgon wanted to stay in Shouzhang City and kill Li Zixiao, instead of going north to ambush the White Dragon Army's men and horses heading south, and Duoduo was the most supportive.

Dolgon asked Duoduo to lead his troops to attack around the north gate of Shouzhang, and as soon as Duoduo led his army arrived, he couldn't wait to let his men and horses launch a fierce attack.

Under Duoduo's stern orders, 5,000 Tartars with white flags stormed the North City Gate like crazy, while Du Tengfei led 1,000 white dragon soldiers and 1,000 militiamen to defend desperately, and the battle was fierce and cruel.

You must know that the Tartars inlaid with white flags under Duoduo, although in terms of strength, are not as good as the positive white flags led by Dolgon, but they are not much worse, and they are also elite and good at fighting.

Moreover, these Tartar soldiers with white flags, because they were defeated by the White Dragon Army a few days ago, even their own master, Duoduo, almost disappeared.

As the saying goes, 'the lord humiliates the ministers to death', which makes the Tartars at this moment with white flags attack desperately one by one, to avenge their master Duoduo, and to correct their names with white flags.

Prove that they are white-flaged soldiers and are by no means a weak brigade, and restore their lost honor.

By the time Li Zixiao's order to retreat reached the North City Gate, Du Tengfei had already lost more than 400 people on his side, and he also let the Tartars attack the city wall.

Subsequently, Du Tengfei left two hundred people behind, abandoned the north city gate, and then retreated into the city.

Moreover, according to the order sent by Li Zixiao, Du Tengfei will block the Qing soldiers who have entered the city in the next time.

The streets and alleys on this side of the North City have also been renovated at this time.

Du Tengfei also knew Li Zi's plans, and even before the war, Li Zixiao had taught them the tactics of street fighting, and then they were going to fight a kind of cold weapon street fighting that they had never fought before.

"Chase, don't let Minggou run away!"

On the side of the East City Gate, the few White Dragon soldiers and horses who were responsible for leaving behind the broken ones did not last too long, and they were slaughtered by a large number of Qing soldiers.

At this time, those Tartars saw the White Dragon Army retreating and their morale was high, so they wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, follow the retreating White Dragon Army, and chase towards the city.

As a result, after a team of Qing soldiers chased down an alley, they found that at the end of the alley, a stone wall more than half a meter high had been built.

Such a stone wall, if it is placed in peacetime, of course these Qing soldiers don't care.

But now, behind the stone wall, which was more than half a meter high, there was a line of soldiers with spears.

In this way, such a low stone wall would become an insurmountable obstacle for them, unless they could first kill the white dragon soldiers behind the stone wall.

"Kill!"

The Qing soldiers, whose morale was high, had no intention of stopping at this time, and rushed towards the stone wall.

When they rushed to the front and back of the stone wall, they were all blocked, and a column of white dragon pikemen behind the stone wall stabbed forward in unison, and immediately stabbed over many Tartar soldiers who rushed in front.

"Throw guns!"

At this time, behind the white dragon army's spear queue, a loud roar suddenly sounded.

A moment later, spearheads were hurled from behind the line of spears and pierced into the dense crowd of Tartars.

"Ahhh

Dozens of sharp spears directly stabbed more than twenty Tartar soldiers to death, making them let out a terrible scream.

At this time, from the courtyards on both sides, several teams of White Dragon soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out, taking advantage of the situation to kill the unsuspecting Qing soldiers, and started to kill.

After a stick of incense, a group of embarrassed Qing soldiers fled from the alley, leaving more than 70 corpses in this not very wide alley.

Similarly, in several other streets and alleys leading into the city, other Qing soldiers also encountered a similar situation, and beat their pursuit back, and the losses were not small.
