Qin Shuhuai thought that there were not many defenders in Qian'an City, so he did not prepare any large siege equipment, only prepared a cloud ladder.

50,000 people make 100 ladders, as long as the division of labor is clear, the flow of work, half an hour is enough.

Qian'an Castle is rectangular in shape, with narrow walls of the north and south gates, only 500 meters long, while the east-west walls are 1,200 meters long.

Qin Shuhuai decided to attack the east and west gates, so as to facilitate the deployment of troops, and at least 1,200 people could be charged at a time, giving full play to the superiority of troops.

After half an hour of repairing and urgently making a ladder, when the time came, Qin Shuhuai ordered an attack.

Zhang Xiao commanded Jianghe to help Suzaku Tang as the vanguard and launched the first round of charges in the west of the city. He Kegang commanded a coalition of disciples from Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, and Emei to launch the first round of charges in the east of the city.

The Tartars defending the city immediately returned fire.

Originally, I thought that there were not many Tartar soldiers in the city, but judging from the heads of the people emerging from the west and east of the city, there were nearly 6,000 people on these two walls alone. These Tartars were well-trained, and they were very good at both bows and arrows, birds, and even three Franco-cannon cannons on each of the two city walls, which caused heavy casualties to the coalition forces.

Zhang Xiao hurriedly sent someone to report to Qin Shuhuai, saying that there were far more Tartar soldiers in the city than expected.

Qin Shuhuai's heart tightened after hearing this, if there were many Tartar soldiers in the city, then as long as they could hold it for a day, the Tartar army of Yongping and Santun Camp would be able to arrive, and it would be terrible for them to attack from both sides!

He finally understood that he was not a genius who was clever and calculating, at best he was just a dick who was more familiar with history and loved to watch military affairs. This misjudgment was entirely due to his successive victories and his blindness to victory, so conceited that he was convinced of his every decision.

If it goes on like this, it is likely to lead to a crushing defeat for the coalition forces!

He immediately ordered the offensive to be halted and countermeasures were discussed.

The Ming army soon stopped the attack, and this attack they sacrificed more than 500 people in vain, and greatly boosted the morale of the Tartar soldiers at the head of the city, who laughed wantonly and taunted the Ming army.

Qin Shuhuai called He Kegang, Zhang Xiao, Wang Datong, Zhiren and other masters. Everyone sat down together and discussed for a while, and decided to change the style of play and attack the south gate and the north gate instead. At the same time, the old tactics were used to let Wang Datong, Zhiren and other masters go to the wall to attack the enemy's city. Compared with the west gate and the east gate, the walls of the south gate and the north gate are much shorter, so that it is convenient for the masters to maximize their impact ability.

Among them, the South Gate is the main direction of attack, and when the time comes, all the top masters will concentrate on the South Gate city wall, and strive to win it in one fell swoop!

After the arrangement was completed, without any rest, Qin Shuhuai immediately ordered to attack again!

Now he is racing against time, and every time he wastes a little more time, the possibility of the Tartars coming to reinforce increases a few points, and the crisis of the army also increases a few points.

Inside the city of Qian'an.

After the Jinnan Expeditionary Army, the left wing of the Central Association Commander Wu Dahai sat firmly in the city defense yamen. He was the son of Brother Nurhachi's brother Murhaqi, and although he was less than 30 years old, he had already fought a lot of battles, and had been serving under Dorgon for the last few years. In the battle of Abatai, Yueto and other generals roared in the battle of Jisi, Dolgon began to emerge, and this southern expedition was led by him as the commander of the Left Wing Army, so Wu Dahai also ascended to heaven and became the commander of the Left Wing Army Central Association.

Wu Dahai originally had only 12,000 men on his hands, but after Dolgon captured Santun Camp, he immediately gave him 5,000 reinforcements to strengthen Qian'an's defense. These soldiers had arrived early this morning, so now he had seventeen thousand men in his hands.

With 17,000 elite soldiers in his hand, he didn't believe that he couldn't hold even a day in Qian'an.

"General, the Ming army has changed its direction and is now attacking the north and south. "There's a guy who comes to report.

Wu Dahai nodded and said, "Tell Nurke and Adahi to follow the established plan." As long as the warriors are not afraid of death, the Ming army will not want to enter the city! As long as we hold on for one day, our reinforcements will be able to arrive, and then Qin Shuhuai's 60,000 people will be the turtles in the urn! Hmph, without these 60,000 troops, who else in the Central Plains will be our opponents?"

The man immediately became excited and shouted, "Wow!"

The Ming army launched a fierce assault on the south and north gates. Since there were no large siege tools, they could only climb the ladder with their shields on their backs and attack in the most primitive way. Fortunately, the Ming army had enough shields, and the Jianghe Gang alone brought two thousand shields, which were light and strong, and could play a huge role at this time.

At the same time, within ten miles of Qian'an City, Jinyiwei and Dongchang elites searched quickly on all possible roads leading to Santunying, and killed suspicious people when they saw them, preventing Qian'an City from asking for help from Santunying.

However, Wu Dahai has been through many battles and has naturally designed an extremely efficient intelligence system. He had already received the news when Qin Shuhuai was still seven or eight miles away from Qian'an, and at this time, his horse whistle had already run out of Qian'an City for more than twenty miles.

Twenty-seven or eight miles northwest of Qian'an City, three healthy horses were galloping.

At this moment, a tripwire suddenly rose on the ground, and it straightened with a "bang".

The three fast horses could not avoid it and fell one after another, and the three tartars with pigtails on the horses also rolled to the ground.

"Kill!"

With a loud roar, I saw twenty or thirty people in tattered clothes rushing out from both sides of the road. Without saying a word, these men rushed at the three men with knives in their hands.

The three of them were not slow to react, and immediately drew their waist knives and fought fiercely with these people.

Among the twenty or thirty people on the other side, one of them was very tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and even a brute force. He made a Guan Gong big knife, dancing tiger and tiger, a knife seems to have a thousand powers, making people's arms sore.

Although the three of them resisted desperately, they were helplessly outnumbered and were soon annihilated.

A thin man with a pockmarked face said to the man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, "Big brother, why do you say this tartar has a braid like a rat's tail? ”

The man with the tiger's back said, "How does Lao Tzu know? Or the hair of the tartar is less, in short, this is the tartar." ”

The thin man smiled, "Yes, yes, if we kill the Tartar, it will be equivalent to accepting the name of the vote, and the kid surnamed Qin will not kill us Jinfengzhai, right?"

It turned out that this group of people were bandits entrenched here. The man with the tiger's back is called Jin Da, born with brute strength, and later after the guidance of a master, he also practiced a good skill, and soon unified the bandits and robbers in this area, and now there are five or six hundred people under his command, and the officials and soldiers have not eliminated him several times.

However, Kim Dae is a smart man. He felt that he couldn't be a bandit for long, especially when he heard that Qin Shuhuai's army came to Jizhen, and he felt that he couldn't be a bandit for long. Qin Hou Ye, who is that? That is Wu Qu Xing descending to earth! Although he came here to fight the Tartars, but what about the Tartars after the fight? He still didn't easily kill his own Jinfeng Village? You must know that what he is doing on the three sides is the work of suppressing bandits, and even the Demon Sect has not been able to do him!

So he decided to go to Qin Shuhuai early. But it was definitely not possible to go empty-handed, so he decided to kill a few Tartars to make a petition and dedicate it to Qin Shuhuai.

He had already heard that the Marquis of Qin was the most concerned about national righteousness, and if his Jinfengzhai had merit in killing the Tartars, and then he sincerely went to take refuge, he would at least not kill everyone.

As an old thief, his head is extremely active, and he knows that he can't fight hard with the Tartars, but the Tartars have garrisons between Santun Camp and Qian'an, do they want to contact each other?

So, Jin Da took his brothers to set up ambushes on several roads between Santunying and Qian'an, but he didn't expect to harvest three shortly after he went out today.

Jin Da was in a good mood, but he still patted the thin man's head, and scolded with a straight face, "What kind of kid is that kid, that's called Hou Ye, Qin Hou Ye!

The thin man smiled, "Remember, remember." ”

"Search and see, what all three of them have. Jin Da said.

Several bandit boys searched carefully, and in addition to a few taels of silver, they also found a letter.

Kim Dae looked at the group of brothers around him.

Well...... A group of mountain goods, none of them are literate.

But it must be the information sent by Qian'an. No matter what, send a brother to send it to Master Hou first, which can be regarded as a face-to-face visit.

Thinking of this, he said again, "Hurry up and move the people and horses, I'm afraid that there are still a few waves of Tartar horse whistles coming, let's continue to guard the Hou Ye." ”

......

Wu Dahai never thought that his horse post was not intercepted by the Ming army, but it was robbed by a group of bandits!
