After the war started, the governor of Zhili, Yang Jingsu, mustered up the courage to cross the canal. Seeing that the Zhili officers and soldiers who were attacking the East Gate were resisted by the Eight Banners and the powerful brigades, they suffered great losses. They couldn't help but feel distressed, so they wanted to discuss with Shikai's brother whether to withdraw the siege officers and soldiers first to rest.

Unexpectedly, before he could see Brother Shikai, the military order that was murderous and unwilling to retreat was issued.

Facing Lao Yang who was persuading, Jia Liu said directly: "Sir, don't persuade me. I brought the Eight Banners children under the city. Regardless, every casualty of one person, I, the leader, feels extremely distressed. However, it is my duty to quell the rebellion of the country and have no choice but to have the responsibility to quell the Eight Banners soldiers. If the Eight Banners soldiers do not need their lives, how can I point to the Green Banners Han people to use their lives!"

He has a firm attitude and will not stop until Linqing is defeated today.

Seeing this, Yang Jingsu couldn't say anything else. After all, the Prime Minister's military service in Shandong was Shikai, not his former governor of Zhili.

Until this time, the Zhili soldiers attacking the east gate of the old city suffered heavy losses.

The Zhili soldiers suffered more than 400 casualties, and the Eight Banners soldiers also had about 300 casualties.

In addition to the fact that the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, the bandit commander Wang Jinglong, was personally guarded by the bandit general Wang Liang, and the 400 guards led by the bandit general Wang Liang were reinforced.

Mr. Wan Chaoxing, the general of Zhili, wanted to retreat, but he did not even take the order to withdraw the troops. The Prime Minister's Minister of Military Affairs issued a strict order in front of the battlefield.

This strict order made Wan Chaoxing go to a dilemma, so he quietly sent someone to ask his direct superior Yang Jingsu's meaning, but was told that if the Eight Banners did not retreat, he would not retreat, and if the Eight Banners retreat, he could retreat.

Helplessly, he had to continue to supervise the troops to climb the city while anxiously looking at the Eight Banners soldiers in the south.

Above the east gate, Wang Jinglong continued to boost morale. Under his brave command, the Qing army was killed and injured under the city.

"The Qing soldiers were indeed the main attack on the East Gate. Fortunately, I mobilized the elite soldiers here, otherwise the old city would be destroyed!"

Wang Jinglong, who was already sweating profusely, asked General Wang Liang to send someone to report to the leader, and attacked him with a horse when the Qing army was tired of siege, so that the Qing army would be defeated.

Wang Liang deeply agreed and quickly sent someone to report.

After receiving the report, Wang Lun immediately asked his adopted daughter Wu Sanniang to summon the soldiers of the horse team. After Hou Yuchengmen, he rushed out of the city and killed the Qing army by just waiting for the order.

Qing army artillery team by the canal.

Jia Liu requested the Censor Asiha to lead the Mongolian horse team to supervise the formation in the name of Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs. If there are any officers and soldiers who have retreated without permission, they will be killed regardless of Manchu and Han.

"I also inform Lord A that if the thief horse team leaves the city, Lord A will command the Mongolian horse team to defeat it."

"Yeah!"

After the personal soldiers went to pass the order, Jia Liu looked over his head. The sun was still very poisonous. He took the wet towel handed over by the personal soldiers and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He looked at Lin Sanmao who was standing there: "You are doing a good job this time. Go to Yang Zhi to get ten taels of gold."

"Thank you for the reward!"

Lin Sanmao was very grateful. Although he didn't know why Lord Jia asked him to secretly leak the Qing army's siege to the bandits in Linqing City, he could not guess what he, a villain, could do at will.

After Lin Sanmao stepped down, Fan Wei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the Gui family raised his hand to stop him, as if he didn't want to listen to his reminder.

Lin Sanmao found Mr. Yang, who was in charge of the Prime Minister, with excitement.

"Sanmao, you have surrendered and become an official and earn money. How about the bandits who followed the Changsheng Army?"

Yang Zhi smiled and ordered people to get two ingots of five ounces of gold ingots, which were the only ones that the Shandong generals respected to the young master not long ago.

"Of course, one is in heaven and the other is in the earth. Lord Jia treats people generously."

Lin Sanmao said something grateful to Lord Jia, and reached out to take the golden ingot, but as soon as the ingot was obtained, two people suddenly walked behind him, and then he stood up without saying a word.

Two gold ingots also fell off from his hands.

Lin Sanmao looked panicked: "Mr. Yang, what are you doing?"

"No, nothing."

While shaking his head, Yang Zhi picked up the two gold ingots from the ground, put them in the box as if nothing had happened, and then waved his hand.

The two soldiers immediately dragged Lin Sanmao out of the tent, which scared Lin Sanmao to struggle and scream, like killing a pig.

Soon after, a scream was heard.

Poor Lin Sanmao, who had just become a seventh-rank official in the Qing Dynasty for a few days, died in the underworld.

Under the East City.

The messenger brought the Prime Minister's military order: "Mr. Ying, you are not allowed to retreat without obtaining the military order!"

"good!"

Ying Jitu, who was sweating heavily and also covered in blood, was not dissatisfied at all after hearing the military order. Instead, he became more and more courageous and urged the Eight Banners' children to climb up the city without any chance.

The military order of those who retreated to the city forced the Eight Banners from various departments of the Beijing camp to grit their teeth and fight to the death with the bandits on the city.

After smashing a few shield chariots on the other side of the city gate, two Qing army shield chariots finally got in and then hit the city gate with force, causing the blocked stones behind the city gate to slide down.

The battle for the old city has reached a critical moment.

There are more than a dozen cloud ladders on the south side, and the eight banner soldiers covered in armor were climbing. The highest one was less than one person away from the mercenary. As long as you climb up the mercenary, the bandits who didn't even have armor clothes could not resist it.

The thief general Wang Jinglong discovered this emergency and hurriedly rang the big bell hanging in the middle of the city gate tower.

Hearing the bell, dozens of elite sect bandits wrapped in white cloth and red cloth around their waists shouted in unison, pulling the iron chains on their hands together. Then, the big pot that was burned to the point of being splattered was hung above the mercury, and the pot was mixed with feces and hot oil.

"Scald the dog to death!"

Accompanied by the shout of a disciple of Wang Lun's fist stick, the pot immediately turned over, and the hot golden juice poured down from the mercenary, making the eight banner soldiers who were climbing cry and howl.

The first Eight Banners's fierce face, whose head was poured on, was burnt without skin or flesh, and it was blood-red in the blackness, extremely ferocious.

"ah!"

With despair and pain, the fierce soldier fell to the sky and his neck broke on the spot.

It can also save you from the great pain before death.

All the Eight Banners soldiers below were so hot that they screamed. Many of the Eight Banners soldiers were scalped with golden juice and kept beating them.

The bad luck was slid into my body by Jinji along my neck. I was so anxious that I quickly took off my armor, but the more anxious I was, the more messy my hands and feet became. When I took off my armor, my back was already burned to the point of black skin and flesh.

The golden juice was poured down one by one, and the stones were smashed down one by one. Everything that could kill the Qing army was prepared, and in the end, the whole piece of wood was thrown down.

The wood was demolished and the longest and heaviest beams were obtained, and the city walls were thrown down. If the ladder hit the clouds, the ladder would be broken, and if the ladder hit the people, the people would fall.

The battle situation deteriorated rapidly. In order to avoid being poured by gold juice or being hit by wood and stones, many Qing soldiers in Pancheng had to jump off the ladder without any chance.

The Zhili soldiers really couldn't hold on anymore, and before the Eight Banners soldiers retreated, they shouted and ran backwards.

Seeing this, the Eight Banners soldiers did not care about the strict orders. Even though Ying Jitu was extremely brave, he was unable to fight again at this time.
