Although the city of Manchuria is named Mancheng, the actual garrison is not only the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but also the Eight Banners of Mongolia. There are eight Mongolian flags in the Manchurian city of Jiangning, but the number is very small, only more than 400 people. The Han people in the outer cities cannot distinguish between Manzhou and Mongolia, so they are called Manchu soldiers. Only the Qing army knows its Manchu and Mongolian flags the difference.

In the battle of Zhenjiang, more than 400 Mongolian soldiers from the Eight Banners also participated in the battle. As a result, more than 100 Manchu soldiers came back, but none of the Mongolian soldiers came back. As a result, rumors abounded in the city, saying that those Mongolian soldiers were abandoned on the battlefield by the Manchus and Guan Zhongzhong. When the pungent Mongolian woman heard this, she ran to look for Guan Zhongzhong in anger, and scolded him around his house. Although he is loyal to the dignified Jiangnan Admiral, he can only let these Mongolian women scolded the streets. There is no way, who made him only a Han army, but they belong to the Mongolian Eight Banners, and they are one level higher than him.

In the Qing Dynasty, people were divided into groups. Manzhou was the highest, followed by Mongolia, followed by the Han army, and the rest were the Han people. Being scolded by Mongolians who are higher than themselves, even if the other party is just an ordinary female family member, no matter how loyal they are, they dare not offend them. After all, the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty is a Mongolian, and the emperor is a Mongolian nephew!

In addition, after having suffered such a big defeat, Guan Zhongzhong, who was terrified, did not dare to do anything to these Mongolian women who scolded the streets. Otherwise, if things got bigger, he did not die at the hands of the thieves, and he would definitely die at the hands of the imperial court. In the end, it was Shuo Erhui who came forward to greet the people from the Mongolian Eight Banners, increased the pension a lot, and promised some benefits, so that the storm was leveled down.

Last night, the inner city was moving, and all the men and women in the city listened carefully. The people in the Niu Lu kept knocking and pulling people from house to house. The flag boys as young as eleven or twelve years old, and the old bangzi as old as sixty or so, all went to the top of the city. But this is not enough. In the end, all the coated slaves under the banner were brought to the armory, and they were told to choose one of them at random, and then they were sent to the city head.

According to Tong Haonian's statistics, there are less than 3,000 people, old and young, plus clothed slaves, but there are four gates to guard in the whole city.

Just when Tong Haonian was worried that the defenders were not strong enough, a group of Mongolian women invited them to the city to help them. These Mongolian women are wide-waisted and fat, but they are not as weak and indifferent as the Han women. Seeing that Tong Haonian seemed to doubt whether they could kill the enemy, a Mongolian woman snorted slightly, picked up her husband's bow and arrow, raised her hand, and shot at the city gate. The arrow hit the plaque hanging on the city gate, which shocked Tong Haonian and the crowd of soldiers. Straighten his eyes.

I heard that after the women of the Mongolian army went to the city, the female relatives of the eight banners were not to be outdone. Fight like men.

The Manchu garrison eight banners in Jiangning Mancheng are the Zhenglan Banner, which belongs to the lower five banners in the Eight Banners. The women married in Qili have heard and heard since childhood, and are used to seeing how their husbands and brothers kill Han people, so they have contempt for Han people in their bones. In addition, most of their sons, husbands, brothers, and fathers died under the hands of the Han people, and they knew that once the Manchurian city was broken, their women would definitely not end well, so at the moment they hold the same thoughts as the women of the Mongolian army, That is, it is better to die fighting like a man than to be defiled by those lowly Han people.

Surprisingly, many Manchu female relatives are also proficient in bowing and horses, and not weak in archery. With so many women going to the city to help defend, the soldiers in the city were naturally the same enemy, and their morale was high.

Tong Haonian sighed with emotion that the Man Meng women really responded to the words of the Han people, and women are not allowed to be men.

........

About 4,000 Qing troops who had surrendered in the inner city were driven to Mancheng. They were divided into several groups and sat on the ground on standby. After the attack order is issued, the first batch of surrendered troops will be given weapons and armor to attack the city.

Because the number of full soldiers in the city was less than a thousand people, Zhou Shi was relatively determined to capture the city, but he was not careless and formulated a siege plan. The sixth town is located in the west and north of the Manchurian city, and the main attack direction is on the Great Qingmen. To the east and south, the fifteenth town and the new one town were used as a diversionary attack.

In the early morning of the 11th, dozens of artillery pieces unloaded from the gates of the outer city and the inner city were dragged to the gate of the Qing Dynasty in Mancheng. Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, the Taiping Army supervised the surrendering army to launch a storm in all directions at the same time. . However, after the battle started, the generals of the Taiping army watching the battle found that the guarding force of the city was much more than the previous estimate of a thousand people, and there were many female soldiers with bows and arrows on the top of the city.

The Taiping army forced the surrendering army to launch three attacks in a row, but they were all repelled by the defenders on the city, and thousands of them were killed. The last batch of the descending troops who pressed up could be described as borrowing corpses from the city, and they followed each other. The casualties on both sides were very heavy, and the intensity of the battle was even more intense than that of the Fangshan ambush.

Due to the difficulty of the frontal attack and the heavy losses of the descending army, Zhou Shixiang ordered the descending army to retreat and rest, and let the commandos organized by the Taiping Army launch a rotating attack on the city with a scale of 100 people. These commandos wear heavy armor, do not climb the city, but only induce arrows on the city to consume their arrows. The city's defending flag soldiers and the female soldiers had no rest, no rest, and no food for a day. They were exhausted, but they were still gritting their teeth.

At this moment, the soldiers and female soldiers at the gate of the Qing Dynasty suddenly saw the Taiping army retreating, and then a man came out of the opponent's camp, and behind him was a female donkey, and a naked man was sitting on the donkey. .

"Listen to all the soldiers in the city, this is your Prince Yue Le!"

Which of the soldiers in the city did not know Prince An, and saw that Prince Tang was dragged to the city by the Taiping army like a monkey, they were full of grief and indignation, and even more desperate. Yue Le showed no expression on the donkey~www.NovelMTL.com~ He was already numb.

At this time, the man shouted again: "My commander is specially gracious, Zhuner waits for surrender, and you can be released back to Jiangbei after surrender!"

The full soldiers and women in the city heard that the Ming army would allow them to surrender and let them go back to Jiangbei, and immediately saw the hope of survival. Many people relaxed and didn't want to fight anymore. The reason why they persisted until now was because they were afraid that Jiangning Mancheng would become the second Guangzhou Mancheng. Now that the other party is willing to give them a way to live, how can they still be willing to do this dying and stubborn resistance.

Tong Haonian refused to surrender, saying that this was a conspiracy of the Ming army. If they really wanted to lay down their weapons and open the city gate, the Ming army would swarm in to slaughter them. The full soldiers and the elderly people also showed that the army was unreliable, and they must not fall for their tricks. If they really wanted to open the city, it would be an immediate disaster. The flag soldiers and the women were sober, no longer dreaming of surrendering to their lives. Seeing that the troops did not surrender, the Taiping army immediately resumed shelling, but did not organize a new round of offensive.

At the bottom of the city, Zhang Huangyan frowned and asked Zhou Shixiang, "If the Tartars really fall, will the Duke really let them cross the river?"

"As soon as a man says a word, it's hard for horses to catch up. If they do surrender, I'll let them cross the river." Zhou Shixiang rubbed his hands together, "The premise is whether they can swim across the Yangtze River." (To be continued.)
