"Hold on! If you can defend Guanxian County! I will report to the court! Please give credit to the brave men! Please!"
The county magistrate stood on the city wall and bowed deeply to the soldiers around him.
The county magistrates were already standing on the city wall, and many of the people guarding the city wall were soldiers from the reserve team, or some nearby militiamen.
Many of them have just put down their hoes and picked up weapons.
But now that the county magistrate has stood on the city wall like everyone else, these people still have some courage.
And regarding the face of the Manchus, as more Han people fled south, many people actually understood the true face of the Manchus, and they were still very afraid of the Manchus.
At this time, these militiamen still show a strong will to resist.
In an instant, the Qing army rushed to the city wall, and at this time, the city gate was slammed shut.
"Put up a ladder!"
Following the order, countless ladders were quickly erected on the city wall.
The soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder.
"Prepare strong fire oil! Put it on!"
Fierce fire oil poured down the ladder.
Then the torch instantly ignited the ladder, and the flames immediately shot down the ladder.
Like fire dragons appearing on the city wall.
It's somewhat pretty.
Hong Chengchou, who was directing the soldiers to attack the city, looked at the scene in front of him, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes showed doubts.
"What's going on? This city is just a small county town. How dare you resist when you see our huge power!"
A look of doubt flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes.
"Hmph! There must be a civil servant who is not afraid of death! Otherwise, a small town like this would surrender immediately!"
Duduo's face didn't look very good as he said.
After hearing Duduo's words, Hong Chengchou's expression froze slightly, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
I am also a civil servant, but I...
After Hong Chengchou's expression changed for a while, he quickly calmed down.
"No matter what, we still need to capture this city as soon as possible. If there is such a movement here, Li Yan and the others will definitely react soon!"
Hong Chengchou's eyes showed a glimmer of light and he said to Duduo in front of him.
"Yes! I will give orders to capture this city as soon as possible!"
The siege continues.
Although the Qing army's siege momentum was slightly blocked, the strength gap was too big after all. Even if the Ming army on top of the city tried their best to resist, they would fall sooner or later.
Just when the Qing army was attacking the city.
Tan Ma has arrived at Liaocheng, the administrative seat of Dongchang Prefecture, at an extremely fast speed.
"Urgent document! I want to see Mr. Wu Ge!"
"Urgent document! I want to see Mr. Wu Ge!"
Tan Ma carried the seal of an urgent official document, and no one dared to stop him. Soon, Tan Ma was led to Wu Di.
“What happened??”
Wu Yan had already heard the servant's words at this time, and he looked at Tan Ma in front of him with a serious expression.
Tan Ma panted and said to Wu Di in front of him: "Mr. Wu Ge, please save Guan County! Outside Guan County, a large number of Qing troops suddenly appeared, and Guan County is about to fall!"
"Guan County, Qing Army???"
After hearing the report of Tan Ma in front of him, Wu Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Tan Ma in front of him solemnly.
"That's right! Mr. Wu Ge, there are nearly 100,000 Qing troops outside Guan County. Guan County is in danger!"
Tan Ma looked at Wu Zong in front of him with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Okay, I get it!"
Wu Dong's eyes were serious.
"Steward Liu, take this little brother down to rest and give him some food!"
"Yes! Master!"
Soon, the housekeeper led the soldiers next to him down.
At this time, Wu Di quickly took out the map on the side.
His eyes quickly found the location of Guan County on the map, and soon, an ugly look appeared in Wu Gang's eyes.
"Guanxian! With so many Qing troops, it seems that they are Hong Chengchou's troops that Li Yan told me before! Unexpectedly, he didn't attack Wei County! He didn't attack Daming Mansion!"
Wu Yan's face looked slightly ugly.
"Could it be that he simply changed the direction of his attack because he found out that Li Yan was aware of his plot? What if he turned around and attacked Liaocheng..."
Thinking of this, Wu Yan's expression changed drastically.
He took a brief look at the map in front of him and found that his worries were probably not worries, but a fact!
Hong Chengchou is very likely to come to Liaocheng!
Because now Liaocheng is basically a reserve of soldiers, and the number of elites who have actually fought is only one or two thousand!
Such a big city.
If Hong Chengchou can capture Liaocheng, they will no longer be short of food, and with so many people under their command, they can even guard Liaocheng, then march north to directly encircle and kill the Second Guards Army!
Wu Di drew a map, and his heart became cold.
This possibility is very high!
But unfortunately, it seems that it is already too late!
Soon, the enemy troops were approaching the city!
Thinking of this, Wu Di didn't hesitate at all and quickly wrote three letters.
Soon, Wu Di called in several detectives from the city.
"Send these letters to Qingzhou, Hejian Mansion, and Daming Mansion respectively!"
Wu Di quickly said to the several Tanma in front of him.
"Eight hundred miles urgent! Hurry!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The few detectives in front of me quickly left.
Looking at the backs of the detectives in front of him, Wu Yan's expression changed for a while, and there was a look of sighing in his eyes.
It's probably too late!
Guanxian won't be able to hold on for long. No matter who is responsible for the defense of Guanxian at the moment, Wu Di knows full well the defense strength of Guanxian.
Except for the several hundred patrol officers and guards, the rest are basically just some militiamen who put down their hoes during the slack farming season.
Such a defense force faced nearly 100,000 Qing troops. The results can be imagined casually, and it is still a county town.
"Inform General Wang! Li Qianhu, General Liu and others are coming to my residence!"
In Wu Di's mansion, several generals were discussing fiercely how to face the Qing army.
At this time, the setting sun was gradually setting in the west.
Under Guan County.
The battle was extremely fierce.
No one ran away.
No one would have thought that Guan County, with only a few hundred people and thousands of militiamen, could hold off the Qing army for so long and even kill many Qing soldiers!
When the sun was about to set, the Qing army finally invaded the city.
"I didn't expect that such a small county town would actually block our efforts for most of the day!"
Hong Chengchou’s face is not very good-looking!
"How about massacre of the city???"
At this time, Duduo suddenly looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him and said.
