When Huang Ting persuaded surrender, Ajige was wearing fine white armor, with a long lightning rod on his head, a war knife around his waist, and a bow and arrow hanging on his saddle, observing Shibao Town in the distance.

The Ming army fled into Shibao Town was exhausted, and the Qing army pursuing was also very tired.

In order to ambush Zhao Ming, Ajige didn't close his eyes for several days and nights. The Qing soldiers waited for the Ming army for a few days. After the battle last night, they chased and killed dozens of miles. After entering the city, the Ming army in the city lay on the streets. Most of the Qing army outside the city were exhausted, and only a few people were still in a certain spirit.

Ajige's red eyes appeared to be very tired, but the joy surrounding Zhao Ming made him extremely excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

At this time, Ajige used a thousand-mile mirror to observe Shibao Town. The fortress was only five or six miles long and less than three feet high. There were trenches that protected the fort. Although the sparrows were small, they were all complete.

In the early years, before the Qing army entered the pass, there were bandits in the pass. Zhang Xianzhong once captured Fengyang and entered the Huaihe River, causing the landlords and gentry in the Huai River to contribute funds to build forts and protect themselves. Later, the Chongzhen Dynasty was destroyed and the Hongguang Dynasty was established. Four towns were set up in Jiangbei. The military discipline of the four towns caused a climax of building forts and cities to emerge in various parts of Jiangbei again.

Shibao Town was rebuilt and reinforced during that period.

However, such a fortress can only defend against small bandits and small robberies. It is obviously a delusion to try to block hundreds of thousands of troops.

Ajige looked at the fortress in front of him, collected the Qianli Miles, and showed a fierce look on his face, "Zhao Zamao, if you run to this death place yourself, you can't blame me."

Fan Wencheng, who was standing by, was still scared of last night's battle. The tenacious combat power of Donghai Town and the figures of Ming soldiers who rushed into the Qing army with grenades made Fan Wencheng tremble.

"Prince, although this city is small, if Zhao Zamao defends, you can't be careless!" Fan Wencheng poured a basin of cold water.

Ajige frowned and said, "Hmph, Governor Fan, you don't have to have Zhao Zamao's ambition. This time, I drive 130,000 people. This broken city is a wall of iron. I will step in and destroy Zhao Zamao."

Fan Wencheng said: "Prince, Zhao Zamao is a general of the pseudo-Ming after all. Now he is trapped by us. Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yihai from the pseudo-Ming side will definitely report it. At that time, they will most likely send troops to rescue him. The prince should not be careless!"

Ajige glanced at Fan Wencheng, probably because he was scared by Zhao Zamao and sneered: "Governor Fan, don't worry, the 100,000 troops of Jiangnan camp have retreated to the north bank to replace my defense around Yangzhou and guard against the Ming army in Jiangnan. In addition, I have ordered Chengze County Prince Shuosai to lead 50,000 people to retake Taizhou to prevent Zhao Zama's men from coming to rescue. Now Zhao Zama is trapped in the lonely city, either the city is broken and killed or the voluntarily surrenders. He has no third way to go."

Seeing that Ajige was full of confidence, Fan Wencheng could only stop talking, but instead changed his subject and asked: "The prince told Huang Ting that if Zhao Zamao surrendered, the Qing Dynasty would make him king, but it was true."

In the Qing Dynasty, there were a lot of princes from the Manchu and Mongolian tribes, but few Han people were crowned kings. To this day, only Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were the four.

Not long ago, Kong Youde was defeated and burned himself. His whole family was killed, leaving only his only daughter. It is said that he also became a camp prostitute in the puppet Ming army. Now there are only three Han princes in the Qing Dynasty.

There were tens of millions of Han people under the Qing Dynasty, and only three Han princes showed that it was very difficult for Han people in the Qing Dynasty to obtain the status of this prince.

Ajige laughed and said, "Zhao Zamao has been fighting against the Qing Dynasty for nearly ten years and has killed countless Eight Banners warriors. How could he surrender? Even if he really surrenders, the Eight Banners soldiers cannot tolerate him, and the court dares not keep him. Therefore, if Zhao Zamao surrenders, I will definitely let him die in a bad life!"

Fan Wencheng also meant this. Zhao Zamao was so famous that he responded to him and was particularly good at it. If he was like Zhang Xianzhong, he surrendered and rebelled, he would not have the life of the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng hurriedly smiled and said, "The prince is wise. People like Zhao Zamao must not be kept, they must be killed immediately." After saying that, Fan Wencheng looked at Ajige and said, "What is the intention of the prince to ask Huang Ting to surrender Zhao Zamao?"

Ajige said with a serious expression: "It's just to use his mouth to shake Zhao Zamao and the will of the defenders in the city!"

The battle last night made Fan Wencheng feel frightened and Ajige also shocked. The Qing army killed more than 20,000 Ming troops, and his own losses were as high as 30,000, which was shocking.

There are nearly 10,000 Ming troops in Shibao Town. Ajige hopes to use the mouth of Huang Ting to shake the will of the defenders, thereby reducing casualties from the Qing army to attack the city.

After all, there were attacks in the wild and the Qing army was far more than the Ming army, Zhao Zamao's men still suffered one-to-one losses. Now there are 10,000 remaining soldiers in Donghai Town and defending the city. If the Qing army wants to take it down, it will probably cost a very heavy price.

When Fan Wencheng heard the words, he immediately understood and praised: "The prince is wise!"

At this moment, several gunshots rang out from the fortress, and Huang Ting fled in a hurry, and soon came to Ajige's flag.

"Prince, Zhao Ming is unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and is determined to resist stubbornly!" Huang Ting knelt down and reported.

Ajige and Fan Wencheng looked at each other, but Huang Ting didn't need to report it. The gunshots on the top of the city had already responded to Ajige.

Ajige was mentally prepared for Zhao Ming not to surrender. He glanced at Huang Ting and said politely: "Thank you for your hard work, General Huang, let's go and rest."

The strength of Donghai Town shocked Ajige and the generals of the Qing army. Ajige did not underestimate Huang Ting who was surrounded and surrendered.

As the commander of the first battalion of Donghai Town, Huang Ting is already a middle-level general. He knows many secrets of Donghai Town and the secret of Donghai Town's strong combat power. Ajige is preparing to make good use of this person, so he is very polite to him.

Huang Ting hurriedly bowed and was taken down by the Qing army. As soon as he left, Ajige immediately looked serious and said to the many generals around him: "Zhao Zamao decided to resist stubbornly. I waited for a quarter of an hour, and Zhao Zamao's defense in the fortress would be stronger. I sent a command to the army to hurry up and rest, and then prepare to attack the city. I want to quickly take down Shibao Town and capture Zhao Zamao alive!"

"Zhe!" The Qing generals saluted excitedly.

On the top of the city, Zhao Ming saw Huang Ting running away, holding his hands on the wall, lowering his head and red eyes.
