"Rubbish!"

Bang Bang Bang!

Several Tartar generals stood in front of Tuso, who were scolded by Tuso, and were slapped by Tuso, leaving five fingerprints on their faces, but no one dared to squeak.

"Minggou has been defeated, you pursued a group of routs, and you were all beaten back, and you lost so many warriors, you say, what do you want you to do!"

Tuso blew his beard and glared, his face was full of anger, and his mouth spat was splashing, and he continued to scold several Tartar generals in front of him.

However, these Tartar generals also knew that they had made mistakes, and let Tusuo scold and beat them angrily, and they all endured it silently.

Perhaps tired of the fight, Tusuo's anger subsided a little, and he said to the Tartar generals in front of him with a cold face: "Okay, this failure, I will write it down for you first, and the general will give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions later."

Now Li Zixiao's men and horses have all been surrounded by us in the city, now you first move the blocked city gate and let the prince lead the army in.

Then, listen to the prince's orders, and then attack, the prince will personally watch, if any of you fail again.

When the time comes, even if Ben doesn't kill you, the prince will never spare you, so disperse! ”

Tuso waved his hand, signaling for the Tartars in front of him to disperse.

"Wow! Retire from your duties! ”

Soon, the east gate of Shouzhang City, which was blocked, was finally cleared out by the Qing soldiers, and Dolgon, who was still outside the city, entered the city immediately.

"Report, prince, Prince Yu sent someone to report, they also captured the east city gate, and are leading people to pursue the defeated enemy."

At this time, Dorgon also sent men from the north gate to inform Dorgon of the results of the battle on their side.

Du Tengfei, who refused to guard the north city gate, immediately abandoned the north city gate after receiving Li Zixiao's retreat order, and the north city gate was also seized by the Tartar white flag soldiers led by Duoduo.

Similarly, the white-flaged soldiers on Duoduo's side, like the Tartar Zhengbai-banner soldiers on the East City Gate, all wanted to take the opportunity to pursue the retreating White Dragon Army soldiers, and prepared to enter the city in one go and kill Li Zixiao.

And with Duoduo's hatred for Li Zixiao, he couldn't maintain normal sanity at this time, and he didn't stop his soldiers from pursuing the retreating White Dragon Army soldiers at all.

On the contrary, at this time, Tuso was next to Dolgon, and when he heard the news of the Tartar soldier sent by Dordor, he immediately became anxious.

Tusuo stood up eagerly, with a worried face, and said to Dolgon urgently: "Lord, quickly send someone to stop Prince Yu, and you can't let the men and horses with white flags pursue the White Snake Army that retreats into the city."

Li Zixiao's men and horses were not completely defeated at all, they retreated in an orderly manner and set up an ambush.

Many of our generals suffered this loss just now, pursued the White Snake Army that retreated into the city, but encountered their ambush on the street, suffered a lot of losses, and were beaten back. ”

Seeing Tuso's eagerness, Dorgon was also stunned, and said, "Even? And this kind of thing? ”

Dolgon had just entered the city, and Tuso had not yet reported to Dolgon that the Qing army had been ambushed and driven out.

So, when Dorgon heard Tuso say this, he was also surprised.

According to Dolgon's previous thoughts, with the loss of the city wall, it basically means that the White Dragon Army in the city has been defeated, and it is already a sure thing to completely wipe out the remnants of the White Dragon Army in the city and capture or kill Li Zixiao alive.

Because of this, Dolgon, who entered the city, was originally in a good mood.

But now when Dolgon heard Tuso's words, he suddenly felt that the abandonment of the city wall by the White Dragon Army did not seem to be as smooth as he thought.

Then, Dolgon thought of Li Zixiao's cunning and the strength of the White Dragon Army, which was far from being comparable to the ordinary Ming Army, and he must not treat the White Dragon Army with the idea of treating the Ming Army.

So much so that Dorgon, who was in a good mood at this time, turned cold again, revealing a solemn look.

He was worried that this time the White Dragon Army was defeated and retreated into the city, and it was Li Zixiao's trick.

"Hmph, it's impossible, let him Li Zixiao be treacherous and cunning, in front of the absolute superiority of my army, all tricks are useless."

Dorgon thought to himself, dispelling his own thoughts.

However, Dolgon also attached great importance to what Tuso said, knowing that the White Dragon Army had set up an ambush on the streets of the city, so it was not appropriate for the Qing soldiers to rush in.

"Immediately rush back and tell your master that you should not be impulsive, and that you should not send troops to pursue the White Snake soldiers and horses that have retreated into the city.

Tell your master, Li Zixiao is already in our pocket, and we can't escape him, so don't act impatiently at this time. ”

Dorgon said to the white-flaged soldier kneeling in front of him at this time.

"Oh, the slave will go back and tell my master the words of the prince word for word."

"The minions are gone."

Immediately, the white-flaged cavalry rode back to the northern city, relaying Dorgon's words.

But unfortunately, by the time such a Tartar white-flaged cavalry rode back to the north gate, it was already too late, and Duoduo had already let his men pursue the retreating White Dragon Army and rush into the city.

Unaware of the fact that the centaurs he was chasing were falling into a death trap.

On the contrary, after listening to the white-flaged soldier and speaking Dorgon's words, Duoduo said disapprerovitically: "The minions over there are too stupid, and they have been ambushed by others.

The warriors on this king's side will not be easily ambushed. ”

"Report! Lord Qiyu, it's not good, we pursued several teams of men and horses into the city, but they were all ambushed and lost a lot of manpower.

Moreover, the 600 soldiers led by General Gu Ye were ambushed by the enemy and trapped in a street in the city, and they have not been able to kill them yet.

The minions have come to ask for instructions, what to do. ”

As a result, if Duoduo pretended to be forced, his voice had just fallen.

A white-flaged Tartar who hurried back reported to Duoduo that he was a resounding slap in the face.

Duoduo's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't say anything for a few seconds, and then roared angrily: "What are you waiting for, immediately reorganize the manpower, kill them and rescue them." ”

"Yes, the minion will go."

Immediately, fierce shouts and killings sounded everywhere in the streets near the north city gate, and a new group of Qing soldiers rushed in again to rescue the hundreds of Qing soldiers who had been trapped inside.

The Qing soldiers who rushed into the streets, like the white flag Tartars under Dolgon on the other side of Dongcheng District, were also blocked by a low stone wall and the white dragon army spearmen behind them.

The low earthen wall was very effective in blocking the Qing army's best at, the cavalry charge.

The Qing soldiers who were forced to enter the city could only continue to attack with foot soldiers, killing the White Dragon Army and militia in the city.

"Throw the gun, throw it!"

The ambush method of the White Dragon Army in Beicheng District is similar to that of the White Dragon Army in Dongcheng District, without short guns and scarce bows and arrows.

The White Dragon Army can only be replaced by armed crossbows and throwing spears.

There are not many arm crossbows here, but they are simple and easy to make throwing guns, and at this time, the White Dragon Army has a lot of reserves in their hands, and they are also relatively easy to use.

These throwing guns, in fact, are the front end of a wooden stick, inlaid with a small sharp iron head, and the production is very simple.

Li Zixiao had long been aware of the lack of bows and crossbows in the hands of his soldiers, and he had been asking the blacksmiths in the city to build a large number of sharp iron nails in the past two days.

Then it is embedded in the front of the wooden stick, and it becomes a simple throwing gun, which can exert great lethality on the battlefield at critical moments.

Whoosh!

Throwing guns one by one, they crossed the two-person high wall, and then plunged into the crowd of Qing soldiers on the street, and the screams rang out, and many Qing soldiers were unlucky to be shot.

When these throwing guns were projected, they all carried a huge force, and even the Qing soldiers were wearing well-armored armor, and most of them could not carry such a throwing gun.

And once he was shot in the body, he either died on the spot or was seriously injured.

Even if you are shot in the limbs, you will be incapacitated almost immediately.

"Archer, release your arrows!"

The sudden attack from behind the high walls on both sides immediately attracted the attention of the Tartar generals, who then shouted loudly for the archers to attack the White Dragon spearmen behind the high walls.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, those Tartars on the streets and alleys were thrown at the opposite side of the high walls on both sides, and the dense rain of arrows caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the White Dragon Army on the opposite side.

"My lord, the prince has sent a lowly official to meet you."

The three hundred white flag tartars that Duoduo had sent in again quickly rushed to Guye and shouted loudly.

"You're here fast enough, but we're not going to back down now."

Gu Ye looked at the reinforcements that came in from outside, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said excitedly.

Then he pointed his hand at the tall gates that stood on either side of the street, and said, "Rush in and occupy these two courtyards."

Then break through the wall and go around from there. ”

Gu Ye is quite calm, thinking clearly, thinking of new ways to deal with it.

Peng!

Those Qing soldiers rushed directly and kicked open the closed gate, and dozens of Qing soldiers rushed in.

"Kill!"

At this time, at the end of the street in front, the Qing soldiers who wanted to continue to kill into the city were fighting against the soldiers of the White Dragon Army behind the stone wall through the stone wall.

The soldiers on both sides hold their shields, and the shields are close together, and then rush up or through the gaps in the shields, and use axes, knives, and spears to attack the enemy behind the shields on the opposite side.

Even though most of the soldiers on both sides were holding shields in their hands, there were still soldiers on both sides who were constantly killed, but the Qing soldiers just couldn't cross this low stone wall.

Fighting in such a narrow street, with such a low stone wall, makes it difficult for the enemy to implement.

"Be quiet, a soldier has come in."

At this time, in a courtyard on both sides of the street, there were two groups of militia in ambush, with hundreds of people.

Among these militias, there will be several veterans of the White Dragon Army who are responsible for leading the team and serving as commanders.

And the Qing soldiers sent by Gu Ye entered the courtyard where these White Dragon Army were ambushed.

"Kill me!"

Just as the Qing soldiers entered the courtyard and tried to find another way, bypassing the street blocked by the White Dragon Army with the help of low walls, and killing from the flanks, they suddenly shouted loudly.

The two groups of militia of hundreds of people, under the command of seven or eight veterans of the White Dragon Army, suddenly came out of one house after another, killing these Qing soldiers by surprise.

The Tartar soldiers who entered this courtyard, only about twenty people, were ambushed by hundreds of militiamen at this time, and they were caught off guard, and several people were killed as soon as they came up.

It's just that the Qing soldiers are still very strong, even if they are ambushed, they will come over in a very short time and gather together.

Don't look at the militia in ambush, there are hundreds of people, and all of them have survived the bloody battle at the head of the city, have seen blood, and have combat experience.

But they haven't been trained too rigorously after all, and it's okay to fight alone, but now that they have to cooperate as a team, there are too many loopholes, which also gives the Qing soldiers more time to react.

"Kill!"

Fortunately, there were a few veterans of the White Dragon Army to stabilize the situation, and there were many militiamen, so it took half a stick of incense to kill all twenty Qing soldiers.

These militiamen also paid the price of seven casualties, which made the veterans of the White Dragon Army very dissatisfied with such a record.

"Quick, all of them take action, pull off the armor of these tartars, take their bows and arrows, swords and spears, and withdraw immediately."

A captain of the White Dragon Army immediately urged these militiamen to clean up the battlefield and take away everything that should be taken away.

In fact, at this time, the demand for weapons and armor of the White Dragon Army in the city is too great.

They are now trapped in the city, which means that they have lost their logistics, and they can only find a way from the Tartars they killed.

"Let's go!"

Soon, the militia pulled off all the armor and weapons from the dead Tartars, and the commander waved and quickly evacuated with them.

They didn't leave the courtyard, but all entered a room.

At this time, inside this room, a large hole was punched in the wall to serve as their passage.

This time, they transferred a small part of the men and horses in the city through this passage, and through this passage, they surprised the Qing soldiers and completed this sneak attack.

In the courtyard diagonally opposite, the same ambush was being staged at this time.

The nearly thirty Qing soldiers who entered the courtyard took almost a stick of incense to kill hundreds of militiamen, and the casualties paid by the militia were still acceptable.

As a result, Shouzhang City, which was invaded by the Qing army, presented two situations.

The north gate started to fight in advance, but Dolgon on the eastern side of the city let his soldiers stop for the time being, and did not let the Tartar soldiers attack rashly.

The time of daylight on the 11th passed very quickly, and after the Qing soldiers finally entered the city, the time was already past noon, and half of the day had passed.

At the same time, at this time in Shouzhang City, Li Zixiao was in the county office.

This has now become Li Zixiao's temporary headquarters, and a Li Zishuai flag and the White Dragon Army flag are fluttering here in the wind.

In the courtyards of the houses around the county government, nearly 100,000 people are hiding here.

The Qing army surrounded Shouzhang City, they could not escape, and these people knew that the Qing army had entered the city, and they were all terrified.

Gathering these nearly 100,000 people around the county government was also Li Zixiao's order, in order to vacate the periphery of the city.

The loss of the east and north gates was the collapse of the penultimate line of defense in Li Zixiao's heart.

Now that the city gate is lost, Li Zixiao is also very helpless to retreat to the last line of defense.
