"Flame fire, don't save the cannons, and bombard them with them."

On the top of Yongning City, the guard was the captain of a thousand-person team of the First Battle Soldier Division. He and his team of more than a thousand people were left in Yongning.

The four-pound cannon on the city wall was controlled by the gunner, and the gunner kept firing outside the city.

Except for the first shot that was misfired, most of the subsequent shots hit the enemy crowd rushing towards Yongning City.

"It seems that the bandits were prepared for a long time, and there were at least eight sharp cannons on the city." Jiang Yingzhao calculated the number of cannons on the city through the sound of cannons.

Man Gui frowned and said worriedly: "Since the bandits have prepared in advance in Yongning City, it is probably not as easy as you thought before to capture Yongning City."

"There is nothing to worry about. So what if the bandits in the city are prepared for it? They just want to stop us." Jiang Yingzhao snorted contemptuously.

"I hope!"

Man Gui was not as confident as Jiang Yingzhao. The eight cannons on Yongning City gave him a very bad feeling, and he always felt that things would not go so smoothly.

"It has already rushed under the city wall, and it is just around the corner to take down Yongning City." Jiang Yingzhao saw General Chen Gan rushed to Yongning City with his troops, and ladders stood up one after another.

The soldiers under the city climbed the ladder and began to climb up the city wall.

At this moment, rows of muskets were fired on the city wall, and the shields in the hands of several officers and soldiers who had climbed halfway through were penetrated, hitting the officers and soldiers below, and they all fell from the ladder with their shields.

Under the attack of the musket, the officers and soldiers on the ladder fell to the ground like dumplings.

Not only were the officers and soldiers on the ladder hit by muskets, but many officers and soldiers near the city wall also got shot, leaving behind a lot of casualties.

The officers and soldiers behind came up and continued to climb the ladder.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A row of muskets quickly fired on the city wall, and dozens of officers and soldiers were attacked in an instant, killing and wounding, and the attack was blocked.

Many officers and soldiers who were injured by guns also lost their combat effectiveness for a while.

After several guns, the Guanning soldiers from Liaodong could not bear the death and injury. Some people began to hesitate and some retreated. Seeing this, General Chen Shen knew that he was doing it at once, and immediately ordered the retreat.

When siege, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were left after retreating, only 1,400 or 500 people.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the general." General Chen Shen knelt under Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui's horses.

Only the commander in the army is qualified to order the army to retreat. However, before he received the order to retreat, he retreated with the officers and soldiers who were sieging the city, and had already disobeyed the military order.

"Come on, take this guy who disrespects the order and then deal with it after taking Yongning City." Man Gui stared at General Chen Shen kneeling on the ground fiercely.

Two people walked up to him and set up General Chen Shen and took him away.

During the whole process, Jiang Yingzhao was expressionless.

Ren is Man Gui's subordinate. Although he was very angry, he couldn't get over Man Gui to deal with this person. Now Man Gui takes the person down to take care of him. No matter how he dealt with it, he can be considered an explanation.

In fact, he also knew that Man Gui could not kill a general for such a little thing. If it were him, he would not have done so.

So when the person was taken down, he had an explanation to both parties.

"It seems that Yongning City is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. It's better to retreat first and prepare more siege tools before siegeing the city." Man Gui said to Jiang Yingzhao.

When the officers and soldiers retreated from Yongning City, all the ladders remained under the city.

At this moment, the defenders on Yongning City had poured tincture oil on the ladders outside the city and burned down the ladders.

"Retreat the troops." Jiang Yingzhao gave the order to withdraw his troops without expression.

The army came too quickly and didn't carry many siege equipment. After a few ladders burned, there were no siege equipment for the time being. We could only wait until the siege equipment was prepared again before we could launch a siege city on Yongning City.

On the walls of Yongning City.

Yang Fan, the city guard, held a monocular telescope in his hand, watched the government troops outside the city start to retreat, and said to the people around him: "The government troops have retreated."

He Qianyou, the deputy captain of the Thousand People Team, leaned against the female wall, looked at the banners gradually moving away from the city, and said, "This official army is not simple. It can actually rush to the city under our shelling. If the officers and soldiers I met before would have been defeated by cannons, they would have had no chance to get close to the city wall."

"It should be soldiers from Liaodong. I saw a commander's flag with the word Jiang written on it. It's not that there were two generals from Liaodong, one with the surname Jiang and the other with Mangui." Yang Fan said.

At the same time, he handed the monocular in his hand to He Qianyou next to him.

"The government army retreated so quickly, because they were not prepared enough, and because they thought they could take down Yongning City in one battle." He Qianyou reached out and pushed back the monocular lens handed over by the other party, "I won't look."

Yang Fan took back the monocular and said, "I have sent someone to deliver a letter to Shi Zheng. All we have to do is to delay this official army under Yongning City."

"I hope Shi Zheng and the others will come soon. The enemy has tens of thousands of troops. There are only more than one thousand war soldiers in our city, more than two thousand peasant soldiers, and the total number of people guarding the city is only more than three thousand." He Qianyou said worriedly.

Yang Fan said: "No matter what, we must keep it. If we persist for one more day, we will have more hope of victory. The biggest threat to our tiger flag is this army from Liaodong."

"Damn, the emperor of the capital can't be more honest. He sends troops here every now and then. If he doesn't bother me, I'm annoyed." He Qianyou cursed.

No one knows how long Yongning City can last for three thousand to five thousand.

Yang Fan looked out of the city quietly.

I understand in my heart why He Qianyou scolded the emperor in the capital.

The only hope that Yongning City can defend is when reinforcements arrive. Without reinforcements, Yongning City will sooner or later break the city under the attack of tens of thousands of official troops.

The government army had more than 50,000 troops and camped not far from the river.

As soon as Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui came back, they were sent by the military inspector to take them to the large tent where the military inspector was located.

"Looking at the faces of the two generals, we will know that we didn't take Yongning City!" The military inspector glanced at the two of them with a pair of smiling little eyes.

"The last one will be incompetent."

Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

The military supervisor took the pipe that the servant had packed with tobacco and said, "You two are boasting about how powerful the soldiers under your hands are. You can't even take over a small Yongning City. This really disappoints our family."

As he said that, he picked up his pipe and the servant next to him handed over a fire siege to light a cigarette for him.

He took a sip of the mouth holding the pipe, and the tobacco in the pipe breathed out the white smoke that was vented after the sparks and the tobacco burned.
