The third volume of the Ming Dynasty, the first one hundred and thirteenth chapter of the battle for

Xiang was numb when he heard this. Wu Sangui was dead even if he surrendered, and he would surrender even if he didn't surrender: would he surrender? But he could not refuse the emperor's words, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I obey the order."

Along the way, Jiang Xiang couldn't help but get up and down. When he arrived at the city, what if Wu Sangui ordered the arrow to be fired if he didn't listen to him? Then he would definitely die. No, no, he and Wu Sangui had no grudges, and he would not kill him. Jiang Xiang kept comforting himself, and even unconsciously arrived at the city.

"Stop and go further, don't blame me for being rude."

A shout from the city wall woke Jiang Xiang up. He quickly looked up and saw a big man on the city wall placing an arrow at him. Jiang Xiang recognized that it was Ma Bao, a brave general under Wu Sangui, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Ma, it's me. I have important matters to talk to King Pingxi on the order of the emperor, and ask Brother Ma to put down the arrow."

Of course, Ma Bao recognized Jiang Xiang, otherwise the arrow might have been shot. However, he did not put away the longbow when he heard this and said loudly: "Jiang Xiang, the prince treats you well, but you betray the prince and dare to come and die. Today I will fulfill your wish and see the arrow!"

When Jiang Xiang heard about looking at the arrow, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Ma Bao's arrow was powerful, so close and condescending, and he had no room to dodge. He had to close his eyes and wait for death. After a long time, no pain came. When he opened his eyes, Ma Bao's arrow was still in his hand, just looking at him and sneered, and Wu Sangui had already come out beside him.

Jiang Xiang mustered up the courage and said, "Ping Xi King, Taiyuan is surrounded by the emperor's army. You can't escape with wings. It is impossible to defend it to the death. You have also seen that with just these hundred cannons, most of the city walls will collapse. Knowing that they will be defeated, why bother to hurt your life? It's better to surrender early."

"Far, if you have the habit, you will attack the city. I want to wait for my surrender, don't think about it."

"Yes, if you have the ability, you will attack, if you don't have the ability, you will get out of here."

...

The Wu generals on the city wall started to clamor and cursed at Jiang Xiang. However, many people's eyes were wandering. They were clearly moved. It was better to live without a single life than to die. How many people could be ashamed to death? What's more, they would be in a bad reputation after death.

Wu Sangui raised his hand and stopped everyone from raising their voices. He asked calmly: "The emperor wants me to surrender. Do you have any questions about how to deal with it?"

"This..." Jiang Xiang couldn't help but hesitate. Finally, he said helplessly: "The emperor can keep your entire body. It's just family, subordinates, and the emperor can all open a corner. If you don't surrender, after the army attacks the city, the emperor has sentenced you to death. Within the three tribes, men, women, young and old, and King Pingxi. I think you'd better surrender. If you surrender, your Wu family will at least have blood flowing down. So many loyal subordinates will have the opportunity to survive. If you fight against the army, Taiyuan City will be destroyed for most days. Why should you go to this point?"

"Jiang Xiang. Go back and tell the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. I, Wu Sangui, fought for my whole life. The battlefield was my special wish. Taiyuan is at my feet. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty should come and take it if he has the ability. But he can't rely on a little sweet word to enter the city."

Jiang Xiang swept the faces of other generals on the city. Seeing that many people were wandering on their faces, they wanted to persuade them again. Wu Sangui shouted angrily: "Get out."

"Jiang Xiang was shocked. He didn't dare to talk anymore. He quickly turned his horse's head and ran away with his head. A burst of laughter suddenly came from the city wall.

"Emperor, I am incompetent, so I can't persuade Wu Sangui to surrender. Please punish me." Jiang Xiang said to Wang Fu with shame.

Wang Fu nodded and said, "It is rare to say that if this matter is not successful or not, it is rare for my dear minister to come to the city to persuade the enemy chief to surrender despite the danger."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness." Jiang Xiang said gratefully, and he couldn't help but mutter in his stomach. It's not that I didn't do my best, but that I just tried my best to persuade me to surrender, no one could succeed.

"Fire the cannon!" Wang Fu naturally didn't know the muttering in Jiang Xiang's heart, and turned around and ordered.

"Fire the cannon!" A flag suddenly waved down, and a pungent smoke rose from the mouth of more than 100 cannons at the same time, "Room." Countless thunder-like sounds came, and even the ground vibrated. In the sky, more than 100 black projectiles roared through the air and suddenly fell into the city.

"Crazy." Countless bricks and stones splashed up, and the city was filled with potholes, and even the entire Tibetan soldiers' cave was shaking, as if the entire city wall would collapse. Although Wu Sangui and others hid in the Tibetan soldiers' cave first, many ordinary Wu soldiers were not so lucky. In the place where the shells fell, many soldiers were blown to the sky, with blood and limbs scattered.

This cannon kicked off the prelude to the Ming army's attack on Taiyuan. Next, after several rounds of artillery bombings, the drums sounded. The Ming army infantry dispatched, carried the ladder and rushed towards the city with shouts. Most of these Ming troops were adapted from Datong officers and soldiers. They were determined to make contributions, and they saw that their cannons were so powerful that they had long forgotten the danger and rushed forward with a rainbow of morale.

"Kill!" The shouts of shouting were clearly heard in the entire city.

"Hurry up, get up and block the gap." On the top of the city, the Wu army officers commanded the soldiers to carry each other desperately.

, bricks, stones, soil, etc. fill the gap caused by the Ming army's shelling just now. The Ming army can turn over directly, and the city wall is equivalent to becoming a decoration.

When the Wu army was concerned about blocking the gap, the Ming army had already rushed to the city wall, with ladders clinging to the city wall. Countless Ming soldiers climbed up along the ladders, and gunshots were heard below, and bullets shot from the Ming army were rushing around the top of the city, pressing the Wu army so hard that they couldn't raise their heads.

"Hurry, hurry, throw down the wood and stones." Ma Bao shouted.

"Hu, Hu, Hu, Hu." Countless large, thick and black woods and numb strips fell from the city like raindrops, and hit the cloud ladder, making a crackling sound. The Ming army, who was climbing up the cloud ladder, was either dead or injured when they met. They screamed and fell from the cloud ladder, and blood splashed in the air, falling on the city wall to form red spots on the ground. Soon this bright red turned purple.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The Ming army under the city also took the opportunity to shoot. Many Wu soldiers who had just poked their heads out were as if they were hit by gravity. Their eyes turned black and they couldn't help but fall from the city. They fell to the ground like meat pie, splashing countless dust.

"He, I'll kill you." A Ming army under the city cursed, tied five grenades together, pulled the strings all of them, and threw them to a place on the city wall that had just been built with bricks and wood. There was a loud bang, and then a loud noise came out. Countless bricks and stones that had just been built were tilted down from above. More than a dozen Wu soldiers on the city wall who had no time to escape were screaming and slipped into it. After a few hits, they were smashed and their screams were quickly interrupted.

"Run." The nearby Ming army was overjoyed and rushed towards the gap. The dozen Wu soldiers guarding here just now had already become empty with the collapsed city wall. The Ming army in the front quickly climbed up the city wall, waving the weapons in their hands and rushed forward. Then, a steady stream of people followed behind and soon occupied a small section of the city wall.

Several young advisers behind the emperor were dancing and excitedly said, "Your Majesty, you rushed up, you rushed up."

Wang Fu shook his head, with no joy on his face. He intuitively believed that Taiyuan City was not so easy to break. If Wu Sangui had been like this, he would not have chased Li Zicheng so hard that he almost had no way out. Sure enough, after a while, the Wu army behind rushed up and fought fiercely with the Ming army on the top of the city. The Ming army behind could no longer advance.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The two sides fought desperately at the city wall. Wu Jun wanted to drive the Ming army that had climbed the city to the city, but the Ming army tried hard to expand the territory occupied by the city wall. Both sides refused to give in to each other, and flesh and blood flew across the city wall. This gap seemed to become a meat grinder. The soldiers on both sides fell down, but were immediately filled by the people behind.

The Wu army finally had the convenience of territorial advantage. After a long battle, the Ming army made up for inconvenience. The territory above was slowly eroded by the Wu army. Finally, the last Ming army was driven down from the city. The Wu army directly built this section of the city wall with its corpse.

The excited staff members just now were dejected, but in a blink of an eye they became excited again. Another collapsed place, the Ming army climbed the city wall and was competing with the Wu army bit by bit.

The war has been going on tense and fiercely. Under the attack of Ming army's cannons, the head of Taiyuan city was a little dangerous at the beginning. However, the Ming army on the front line did not feel relaxed, but felt extremely difficult. The Wu army resisted very fiercely. Although there were support from cannons, muskets and grenades behind, the Ming army on the front line had just transformed from the Datong defenders. They were eager to make contributions and had no lack of morale. However, their personal combat power was not as good as the Wu army, and they were siegeing the city, so it was inevitable that they would suffer losses.

"Dang, dang, dang." The sound of the Ming army came. The Ming army, who was sieging the city, looked at the city wall unwillingly and retreated like a tide. The Wu army at the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief. The fierce cannon sounded in the Ming army formation, and then countless black balls flew towards the city. The Wu army at the top of the city was shocked and dodged like a wolf and pig, but it was too late. The shells fell, and countless broken legs and limbs were blown into the sky. The city wall made a clatter, revealing gaps.

After several consecutive rounds of artillery attacks, there was no living Wu army on the city wall. The smart ones had already hidden themselves. As for the unwise ones, they naturally died under the Ming army's cannons.

"rush!"

"kill!"

The Ming army, who had just retreated, ran forward shouting loudly and started another round of attack.

"Hurry up, get to the city and stop them." Under the urging of the officer, the Wu army, who had just hidden, rushed to the top of the city. However, this time, they had to face more gaps.
