When the Qing army at the East Gate was stunned by the sight in front of them, the other three Qing armies had no idea what was going on. The loud noise just now made many Qing troops think that the thieves had attacked the city, and it was the same as the old thief last year. All brought artillery.

"The thief shot. Cannon!"

"The thieves are about to attack the city!"

A Qing army officer shouted in horror. The loud noise just now almost scared him to fall from the city wall. After stabilizing his mind, he looked out of the city, but the vision in front of him was silent. No.

What about thieves?

The Qing army on the city wall also looked blank. They stared blankly outside the city where there was nothing. No one knew what was going on. It was not until someone pointed at the east gate and woke up. I woke up and saw the black smoke that had risen into the air.

"The thieves attacked the East Gate, the East Gate!"

........

After discovering that the loud noise was coming from the direction of the east gate, the Qing army, who did not know that the east gate city wall was also blown down, immediately dispatched troops to reinforce the east gate. In their eyes, the Taiping army with artillery was definitely not an ordinary bandit, but It has become a threat similar to Li Dingguo's army. Last year, Li Dingguo's army used dozens of artillery pieces to bombard the Xinhui city wall, which made them still fresh in their memory. Even now, there are still several city walls that still look solid. But behind it was hastily cast, not as strong as before.

By convention, the thieves must attack the city with ants after the cannon is fired. At this time, the defending troops must be sufficient, and there must be no gaps. Otherwise, the thieves will definitely take the opportunity to climb to the city. Out of experience, the Qing army defenders of the other three gates all transferred a certain number of people in their hands to the east gate.

Su Xianting did not go to sleep at night. After escaping from Guifeng Mountain, he faced a thorny problem. Why did the commander Wu Jinzhong die, but Su Xianting came back alive, and he also buried his flag soldiers clean.

As the wrapped servant of Prince Pingnan, Su Xianting knew better than anyone the significance of these Han soldiers inlaid with blue flags to Prince Pingnan. It should be known that when King Chupingnan, King Kong Youde of Dingnan, and King Geng Zhongming of Jingnan were ordered to go south together, the bannermen under the three kings together would not be more than 7,000 people, and each king would only be more than 2,000.

Relying on this, the three kings marched south from Beijing all the way, unstoppable, and they just pacified several provinces for the Qing court. King Kong Youde of Dingnan commanded his division to occupy Hunan and Guangxi successively, and the king of Pingnan and King of Jingnan also successively occupied Fujian and Guangdong. If it wasn't for the Daxi Army heading north from Yunnan, and there were other fierce generals like Li Dingguo, I'm afraid that Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, would have bound the Yongli false emperor to Beijing. The Qing Dynasty ruled the world, and there is no Nanming in the world!

Although King Dingnan died in Guilin, it was in Guangdong. The two princes of Pingnan and Jingnan also withstood Li Dingguo's two attacks with their four or five thousand flag soldiers. Although they failed to completely occupy Guangdong, they also controlled most of Guangdong Province, which made Nanming's gang of Xiao Xiao dare not dare. Looking east to Guangzhou.

The Han army flag fought dozens of battles before and after Guangdong, and there were two vicious battles in Zhaoqing and Xinhui. However, the two princes lost only more than a thousand flag soldiers, but now they have buried more than 200 themselves, which makes Su Xianting in the I'm glad that I came back with my life, but I'm also worried about whether my head can be saved. That was more than two hundred flag soldiers. Not more than two hundred battalions! In the eyes of Prince Pingnan, even 2,000 green battalion soldiers are not as heavy as his 200 banner soldiers!

It's not too late to make amends. After returning from the escape, Su Xianting thought over and over again, only by successfully defending Xinhui City can the anger of Prince Pingnan be relieved. Of course, there is another very important point. He must say that the bandit who defeated him is as powerful as the old bandit Li Dingguo. At the very least, he must not let the King of Pingnan know that the bandit who defeated him was actually a gang of bandits.

If you want to make this happen and save your own life, the cooperation of Zheng Guodong, another general of Xinhui City, is very important. The flag soldiers who escaped are all his subordinates. Su Xianting is not afraid that they will betray him, so He has tried his best to show his favor to Zheng Guodong, but he is used to being a bannerman, and he is used to playing his prestige. What guarantees are given. Therefore, Su Xianting can only place his hope on the success of defending the city. As long as he successfully defends the Xinhui, no matter how dissatisfied the prince is, it can also offset a bit of anger. But how much life can be preserved, and no one is made into a slave.

Prince Pingnan is still very nostalgic. As a loyal servant who has followed his old man for almost ten years, Su Xianting thinks to himself that he is familiar with the old prince's temper.

Taking the defense of the city as his own head, Su Xianting naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Zheng Guodong went to sleep in the middle of the night, but he did not go to sleep. Although he slept badly, he still stayed in the city. He is also an old man who has been in Wu for ten years. He knows that the time before dawn is the time when thieves like to attack the city. Hold on until the reinforcements from Guangzhou arrive.

There were many large water tanks buried under the city, and Su Xianting sent his personal soldiers from time to time to ask the Green Battalion soldiers who were specially responsible for monitoring underground movements. When he learned that the thieves did not show signs of digging tunnels, he couldn't help feeling a lot. But just at the juncture of the dawn, a loud noise suddenly came from under the city wall, and the violent shaking made Su Xianting's sleepiness disappear instantly, and it also surprised him: the thief has artillery!

"Watch out for cannonballs!"

Su Xianting subconsciously shouted at the few guards behind him, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two guards point blankly at the left section of a dozen feet, and screamed in fear: " No, the city wall has collapsed, run away!"

Accompanied by the screams of the two personal soldiers were countless splashing stones and mud, a black smoke rising into the air, and a stunned collapsed city wall!

Screams and screams were heard one after another.

Su Xianting couldn't believe it. His upper and lower jaws trembled involuntarily. He couldn't imagine what kind of weapon could make the city walls so impregnable that the tens of thousands of old thieves could not help collapse.

How is it possible, how is it possible? how is this possible!

Su Xianting's eyes turned black, and the screams of the soldiers resounded in his ears: "Sir, the thief is coming!" To be continued
