Lin Chong reported: "To Futai, the last general requested that the people be immediately recruited to defend the city."
Zhang Xuanxi sighed: "Why do the people deserve to be tortured like this? Open the north gate and let the people escape." Although he regarded Emperor Shunzhi as a confidant and was willing to die for his confidant, he was unwilling to be a remnant of the people just to get away with it.
Things.
When the north gate opened, the people of Shu County dragged their families and fled out of the city.
Jing Keqin said to Ma Bao: "Uncle Pucheng, why don't you take advantage of the situation and seize the door and enter?"
Ma Bao's eyes were red. He was from Longde, Shaanxi. His family was too poor when he was born, and Shaanxi suffered another disaster. His parents abandoned him in the wilderness, and his brother and sister-in-law secretly picked him up. When he was a child, his brother and sister-in-law would rather go hungry themselves.
She wanted to save food for him and teach him how to read and calligraphy. Looking at these ordinary people, Ma Bao suddenly thought of his brother and sister-in-law.
He glared and said, "The Tatars still know how to care for the people. How could it be that my great master, the Ming Dynasty, is not as good as the Tatars? We must not seize the door and wait until the people have left before attacking."
After the people had finished walking, the north gate quickly closed.
"Siege the city!"
Ma Bao issued a military order and stood under the general's flag. He was not angry and assertive. His face was twenty-nine years old and his eyes were blood red. He lost his parents when he was young. He was strong against adults at a young age. He was tall and red-eyed, and he was good at using tanning whips and spears.
He is resourceful and brave, and he also likes to make friends with scholars ("Although Bao is a group of thieves, he likes to hang out with scholar-bureaucrats").
With a single thought, it becomes much more difficult to attack the city.
The city of Shuxian County was small and strong. More than 10,000 Qing troops were divided into three teams and took turns to defend the city, keeping the city impregnable. The Ming army attacked the city from all sides and could not break it for seven days.
During the second formation of the Ming army, tens of thousands of people from the Nan'an Marquis Hao Yongzhong's army arrived. When they saw Ma Bao, they asked: "Uncle Pucheng, you are a brave general of our army, but you are in a small town. Why have you not yet attacked?"
Ma Bao blushed with embarrassment, "Shuxian County is small and strong, and Zhang Xuanxi, the governor of the puppet Qing Dynasty, has great military morale, so he has been unable to conquer it."
It turns out that although Zhang Xuanxi doesn't know much about fighting, he is an honest official and never deducts military pay. He is also kind and does not put on official airs, so he is very loved by his subordinates and is willing to fight to the death for him.
Generals Hao and Ma were both Li Zicheng's subordinates originally. Hao Yongzhong was much older than Ma Bao in the Dashun Army. He immediately said with a straight face, "Uncle Pucheng, your troops are valuable and fast. Your Majesty is watching us."
Li. According to my wishes, tomorrow morning you attack the south gate and I attack the west gate, and we will definitely break the city."
He has some grudge against Ma Bao, not because of Ma Bao himself, but because of Emperor Guangwu.
One day, Emperor Guang Wu was discussing the generals of the Ming army with the great scholar He Wuzou. He said that Hao Yongzhong carried the flag and charged forward, and was unstoppable, so he could be called a fierce general; while Ma Bao, who was not only brave but also resourceful, could be called a famous general. Strong generals and famous generals are just
One word difference, but Hao Yongzhong was not convinced. When I was fighting for a living, Ma Bao didn't know where to feed him. Why did your majesty say that I was just a fierce general, while he, Ma Bao, was a wise general? This time Zhu Hengjia will be the pioneer again.
The position was given to Ma Bao, but when it was not given to him, he became increasingly dissatisfied.
In the early morning of the next day, before the rooster crows, Hao Yongzhong ordered his general Fan Fengren to attack the west gate first, hoping to board the city before Ma Bao.
"Uncle Pucheng, the last general invites you to fight!"
Seeing that Hao's troops were attacking the city in advance, Ma Bao's generals Ta Xince, Li Gui, Jiao Hongcao, He Tianyun, Cao Fude, and Shan Taizheng were furious and asked for a battle one after another. For the generals, they fight for one breath, and no one wants to be left behind. After.
Scattered artillery shells fell on the Ming army's formation, but did not cause many casualties. Fan Fengren, the commander-in-chief of the Hao Department, led his army to kill at the west gate.
"Crossbowman, shoot for me," Ke Sheng'e yelled. He had gone on expeditions with his father and brother since he was a child and had rich combat experience. He waited until the Ming army entered the shooting range before he started shooting arrows.
",,", "啾 啾", the two sides shot each other, and the soldiers continued to fall, and someone continued to make up.
Zhang Xuanxi saw that the west gate and the south gate were in critical condition, so he urgently ordered Lin Chong to reinforce the west gate from the north gate, and Tang Bangjie to rush to the south gate from the east gate.
Fan Fengren braved the rain of arrows to rush up to the west city wall and defeated the enemy. Lin Chong refused to retreat. The sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty and the green flag of the Green Camp were mixed together, making it difficult to leave.
Fan Fengren was unlucky. During the fierce battle, he was shot in the throat by a stray arrow and died. The Ming army was demoralized and was driven off the city wall.
Hao Yongzhong was furious and ordered the flag guard to move the flag forward and charge personally. However, the general was defeated and the morale of the army was unstable. Ke Sheng'e and Lin Chong resisted desperately and could not attack.
At the south gate, Ma Bao divided the attacking army into three teams: Ta Xince, Li Gui led the first team, Jiao Hongcao and He Tianyun led the first team, Cao Fude and Shan Taizheng led the first team, and they took turns to attack the city.
On the back of the south city wall, Qing soldiers sat in teams on the city steps, resting quietly, waiting for the coming storm.
"The Ming army is coming. Hurry up to the city wall."
Following the shouts of watch posts, groups of Qing troops trotted onto the city, and the bloody battle began.
Outside the south city, Ma Bao asked his men to build hundreds of "Ji'an", which are high platforms outside the city. He ordered Jing Keqin to lead two thousand archers, stand on the "Ji'an", and shoot towards the city wall.
The archers on the city responded without showing any signs of weakness, raining down kerosene, golden soup, stones, and rolling logs.
The Ming army attacked the city wall several times, but was driven back by the Qing army. The Ming army's deputy general Ta Xince and the Qing army's deputy general Tang Bangjie both died in the battle.
It was getting late, and Shulu was still not defeated. Hao Yongzhong and Ma Bao had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

"Walking in the wind and snow, we marched in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. The Huns were not exterminated, but they returned home in shame. The phoenix did not sing, and the Yellow River was not clear. When will there be peace? How long is my heart?? Wave your palms in the wind, just to dance for you. A generous man, washing away the national humiliation with blood. Waiting for the day to come. Give up life and forget death. Above the Lin Pavilion, there are twelve jade towers. The heroic spirits are immortal and fly with wings. When winter goes and spring comes, the trees are full of fragrance. The blood is like a tide, and it can't stop?? The capital is near, and the long songs are for joy."
The wind is blowing, the horses are neighing, and the singing is crazy.
On October 6, the fourth year of Guangwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hengjia's army arrived at Shulu City.
The sun and moon flags "The sun and the moon are bright again", "Three Mysteries and Four Dimensions", and "I will never surrender to my concubine even in the sky and the ends of the earth" surrounded Shulu City. This blue sky sun and moon flag is extraordinary and is the first in the Ming Dynasty.
Twelve emperors, Emperor Longqing, personally designed it, symbolizing that the Ming Dynasty ruled the world from heaven. Once this flag came out, not only the Ming Dynasty, but also Korea, Ryukyu, and Japan were deeply affected. The national flags of later generations of Korea and Japan obviously retained the Japanese flag.
Traces.
"Your Majesty, Shulu City is small but strong, and Zhang Xuanxi, the governor of the puppet Qing Dynasty, is very stubborn and will not be able to capture it for a long time." Hao Yongzhong, Ma Bao apologized.
After listening to the second general's explanation of the situation, Zhu Hengjia nodded, "This is not your fault. Let me explore the enemy's situation."
Eight horses pulled the chariot and patrolled around the city. Zhu Hengjia stood in the center of the chariot holding a telescope, with Hao Yongzhong and Ma Bao guarding him on the left and right, and the dragon scroll held high, looking extremely arrogant.
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
Seeing the emperor's personal visit, the morale of the Ming army officers was greatly boosted, and the frustration of being unable to conquer the fortified city for a long time was swept away.
After Zhu Hengjia inspected the city wall, he ordered: "The south city wall is the most damaged. Tomorrow we will focus on heavy artillery and vehicles to attack the south city. Anyone who kills the head of the puppet governor Zhang Xuanxi will be promoted to the first level."
