The two sides shouted to each other for a while, but found that they were unmoved, and they also took two breaths and began to entangle again.

Qu Songjin immediately used the new 3,000 reinforcements, deployed them in various places in the city, and asked them to hand over all the palm thunder they brought, for fear that these losers would lose all their family resources in a moment of excitement.

Looking at the nearly two wooden boxes in front of him, Qu Songjin laughed: "With these things and reinforcements, it won't be a problem for us to hold for another three days." ”

"And what about three days later?"

"What do you do with so much? Three days later, three days later. Hurry up to the top, the western wall is dangerous. ”

After all, Qu Songtin still overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers, and before these recruits had time to adapt to the situation on the battlefield, nearly half of them were killed by Tuhai's army.

The recruits who went to the battlefield found that the war was completely different from what they thought, and almost caused a rout, but fortunately, Qu Songtin handled it properly, and this was able to hold the city.

At night, the deputy general walked to Qu Songjun's side: "General, you can see this situation, it is impossible for us to hold the city wall, the training days of those recruits are too short, and the previous recruits cannot be compared, we are afraid that we will not be able to survive tomorrow." ”

"If you can't hold it, you can't make it, what are you afraid of, Lao Tzu is not afraid of death, come out to fight, sooner or later there will be such a day!"

"Hehe, my subordinates are not afraid of death, but you can't die, general."

"Fart, the war has reached this point, where there are people who don't deserve to die, I'll stand at the head of the city tomorrow to see who can take my head."

"General, you know what the background of your subordinates used to be."

"Aren't you Jinyiwei?"

"Your Highness didn't plan for us to monitor the general, but His Highness said before leaving, if you can't do anything, let me escort the general to retreat, the general's life is much more important than Tongguan City."

"Get out, Lao Tzu won't leave, there are still so many wounded soldiers and brothers in the city, Lao Tzu would rather die than leave here!"

"Your Highness had expected it a long time ago, so before leaving, I gave my subordinates a packet of medicinal powder, which I accidentally sprinkled in the general's bowl just now. Don't worry, general, tomorrow I will preside over the overall situation for you, and the soldiers of Tongguan City will definitely not take a step back. ”

"Bah, when Lao Tzu was hunting in the mountains, you still fed milk, and you dared to use it against me with your little tricks? Get out of here! ”

The soldier's face was a little embarrassed for a while, and he was stunned for a moment: "General, why are you doing this, even if we tie you up, we have to tie you up!" ”

"If you dare to do it, I will bite my tongue and kill myself immediately! I'll tell you, I'm here, tomorrow Tongguan City may be able to guard for a day, if I leave, tomorrow Tongguan City will definitely be lost. If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will immediately let people behead you, get out! ”

Seeing the soldiers go out in disgust, Qu Songtin immediately poured the water from the wooden basin in the house on his head: "Grandma's, but the geese peck their eyes all day long." ”

The next morning, Qu Songtin stood at the head of the city, in good spirits, the first two days always thought about what else there was a good way, last night was good, lying on the bed without thinking about anything, sleeping until the soldiers came to call themselves.

Tu Hai didn't talk nonsense, and immediately began to beat the drum and march: "Break the city today, the reward is the same as before, there is a shortage of soldiers and major generals in Tongguan, and it won't last long!" ”

The two armies began to fight, and the gate was completely blocked by stones after a night's time, and the soldiers outside the city also abandoned the direction of the gate and rushed in the direction of the city wall.

Tu Hai shouted at the back: "Shoot all our artillery, there is no need to leave behind, the victory or defeat is in these two days." ”

The artillery under the city immediately blasted at the city, and Qu Songjin sneered: "The old guy still has a back hand, fortunately we have reinforcements to arrive, otherwise you will really be taken advantage of by the old guy." ”

There were more brocade guards on the city, and seeing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a warrior who was not brave enough to be brave, he immediately beckoned to the past with a thunderbolt in his palm, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the brave men of this army were killed.

Tu Hai waved his hand when he saw this: "The whole army is attacking, no matter what, they will fight today, I don't believe that they will not succeed!" ”

Originally, he planned to attack the whole army tomorrow not too late, but after this palm thunder, morale was greatly damaged, if he couldn't attack today, after a night of fermentation, the morale would drop even more, so he simply worked hard today, even if he lost more manpower, it would prevent a long night's dream.

Within a quarter of an hour of the whole army rushing out, a group of cavalry rushed over, and it looked like they had come from a long distance.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Tu Hai's heart, and the cavalry over there shouted loudly, "Expedite paperwork for the marshal!" ”

Tuhai's guards approached them, confirmed their identities, and brought them to Tuhai's approach.

"Whose soldiers and horses are you, and what are you doing here?"

"Marshal Qiqi, twelve days ago, the Qianming cavalry rushed to Daizhou, and General Mu Zhan asked us to send urgent documents."

Tu Hai's figure flickered, but fortunately, there was a personal guard behind him who quickly supported his lower back, and Tu Hai slowed down: "You mean they broke through Ningwu Pass?" ”

"It's not just Ningwu Pass, in case of breaking through Daizhou, and then it will be a major place in Gyeonggi, Marshal, General Mu Zhan asked us to pass on the message, once the Jingshi is in crisis, even if the Marshal is dedicated to serving the country, he can't stop the mouth of the court's ministers."

Mu Zhan and Tu Hai are not a faction, and they are not even close to each other, but in the eyes of the court ministers, they are grasshoppers on a rope, if they really endanger the Jingshi, neither of them can withstand the storm from the court, so Mu Zhan passed the news in advance and asked Tu Hai to make a decision as soon as possible.

Tu Hai looked at the soldiers besieging the city in front of him, thought about the time without ten breaths, and sighed: "Mingjin." ”

"Dashuai, in half a day, we will be able to break through Tongguan!"

"What's the use of breaking through Tongguan? Can we still go deep into Shaanxi now? If something happens in Gyeonggi, your marshal will have to return to Beijing to take up his post, and even if we hit Xi'an, we don't have to withdraw our troops obediently, but I don't have to do it with me, Tongguan City is already full of holes. Give me another month, and I will be able to recover half of Shaanxi! ”

The army rushing in front was launching a final attack on the city wall with murderous spirit, but I didn't expect to hear Mingjin's voice at the end. According to the law in the army, those who do not retreat will not be killed, and besides, they are the army brought by Tuhai, so they began to withdraw without hesitation.

Qu Songjin at the head of the city was stunned for a moment: "What kind of conspiracy is Tuhai planning to use?" Wouldn't it be a failure to withdraw at this time? ”

The soldiers at the head of the city did not have time to think about it, and immediately began to cheer, and many people hugged each other tightly to celebrate that they had survived again.
