Chen Zhiyuan looked impatient and said to Bahana: "Now the princess is also trapped in the city. I think she should be imprisoned with the prince Ganglin and Qi Chongge. She is my wife and is pregnant with my child. Can I still harm her?"

Bahana believed this again, "Then...when you see, should you attack the city?"

"Siege!"

"Attack now?"

"Of course, it's better to be early than late!"

Things in this world are so absurd.

Bahana, the upright Manchu white bannerman, also has a loyal and righteous heart.

Logically speaking, he should share the same hatred with the defenders in Ziyang City, but in fact, he became Chen Sheng and Chen Zhiyuan's "accomplice".

Bahana and the attack of the second division of Chen Zhiyuan outside the east gate was actually not fierce.

It’s not that Chen Zhiyuan forgot the original intention of rushing his troops to advance westward, but Bahana was still confused about Chen Zhiyuan after all, and did not allow Chen Zhiyuan’s troops to directly participate in the siege. He was only responsible for suppressing the defenders on the city and cooperating with his siege.

Most of Bahana's own troops were cavalry, with only 5,000 infantry sieges. Moreover, Bahana also ordered that no force should be attacked, but only tentative attacks were carried out one after another.

Bahana still wanted to contact the city, even if he had contacted Ganglin and Qi Chongge. He sent people to call the city several times, but his eyes were careful with Chen Zhiyuan, but he was soon disappointed, and Chen Zhiyuan did not say anything to stop him.

Chen Zhiyuan was confident and allowed Bahanashi to be. In his opinion, if there was anger in the city and outside, it would be more difficult to explain the misunderstanding with his mouth.

At this time, Chen Zhiyuan secretly mobilized his army to go around the north gate. His intention was to block the Qing army's retreat route in the north and prevent Ganglin and Qi Chongge from taking Doerbo and fleeing in the north.

....

Although Bahana attacked "without strength".

But the number of the two divisions of Chen Zhiyuan is there. How could the defenders not be fully focused and wait for it?

Chen Zhiyuan's new army continued to shoot on the city wall, and the gunshots were connected together? Not only did Dorbo, Ganglin, Qi Chongge and others in the city hear it? Even the Northern Expedition Army in the south of the city also heard it.

Chen Sheng was puzzled at the time, and he thought? Could it be that the prince sent another group of partial troops to attack the East Gate?

But think about it carefully? By the way, isn’t the prince worried that Chen Zhiyuan would advance westward?

It seems that? The war between the East Gate should be the Shen Zhiyuan tribe.

But think about it the other way around? It’s not right? Chen Zhiyuan led his troops from Yizhou, and did the army sent by Ziyang City ignore Chen Zhiyuan’s 20,000 troops?

When the 20,000 army marched, even if the Qing army's scout was blind, it was impossible not to notice it.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng wondered if there was a mutiny in the defenders from the east gate?

After all, not all the defenders in Ziyang City were Manchu flag soldiers, the largest part was the Han flag.

But whether it is Chen Zhiyuan's arrival or the mutiny of the defenders? Chen Sheng believes that he cannot miss such a good opportunity.

So, Chen Sheng made a quick decision?                                                                                                                           

Half an hour later, the Northern Expedition Army launched a fierce attack on the South Gate of Ziyang.

....

There was chaos in Ziyang City at this time? The sound of footsteps of the mobilization of troops? I haven't stopped all day.

The east and south gates were attacked by large troops one after another? The sound of gunfire was earth-shaking, even deaf people could hear it.

The ordinary people in the house wished they were invisible people. Both sides of the war could not see them. They closed the door and window, suppressing their fear and uneasiness. Of course, they also had a little curiosity - on the top of the city, wouldn't they change the king's flag again?

The lights are brightly lit in Prince Rui’s mansion.

Dorbo, who was flattered by Ganglin and Qi Chongge, had a pale face and lost his blood. He had long lost the calmness he pretended to be, and he had regained the tension and fear that a young man should have.

"Your Majesty, you have to take charge... I heard that there were tens of thousands of enemies outside the East Gate. Why did this damn Bahana collude with Chen Que... Bahana's flag soldiers can still resist, but Chen Que's new army took the firearms purchased by the court with countless silver... I'm afraid that Ziyang City will not be able to defend tonight. Prince, we have to retreat from the north gate quickly. Only in this way can we not become prisoners of the enemy after the city is broken...!"

Dorbo's eyes were stunned and stared blankly at Ganglin, who was still yelling to defend the city and live and die with Ziyang City during the day.

Dorbo could no longer make a decision, but he still had a hint of clarity in his heart, that is, he would rather be a prisoner of the Jianxing Dynasty than escape north.

If the North escapes, the Prince Rui who has lost his army will become a fish on the Fulin chopping board. At that time, it may be difficult to die, and Ama is the best lesson.

But Dorbo didn't speak, Ganglin and Qi Chongge were anxious.

Qi Chongge said as he approached Dorbo, "Prince, it will be too late if he doesn't leave. While there are still five or six thousand camps beside him, he can escort us to retreat north... Don't worry, as long as you meet with the troops of the general Jinan, you will be able to return to the capital safely."

As he said this, Ganglin and Qi Chongge held Dorbo's arms hostage and prepared to walk out.

Dorbo suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "No... I will never retreat north!"

These words made Ganglin and Qi Chongge's face suddenly become gloomy.

Ganglin said sinisterly: "Your Majesty wants to surrender to Ming Dynasty, right?"

These words changed Qi Chongge's expression. He turned his head and stared at Doerbo's eyes, and there was a possibility of tearing apart if he had a disagreement.

Yes, the two of them secretly followed Fulin and "stopped" Yanzhou. Now they were about to abandon the city and flee north. If they dragged Dorbo to the north, they would have made a contribution, and they could still lose their merits and escape the punishment of the Qing court.

But if Dorbo really intends to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, then the crime of losing his troops and losing his territory will be unable to escape death.

Dorbo was frightened by the expressions of Ganglin and others. He did not want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty? He simply did not want to go to the capital to live under someone else's roof and survive.

"I... I... the princess is still in the mansion." Dorbo sneered, and when he moved, he really made up a reason, "I... I want to discuss solutions with my sister."

But Dorbo regretted it after he said it, because after seeing Ganglin and Qi Chongge heard it, he glanced at each other, his face calmed down greatly, and even showed a smile.

The war broke out suddenly tonight. During the day, the defenders were still resisting well. Ganglin and Qi Chongge did not expect to suddenly encounter an enemy in the east gate?

In a panic, I actually forgot that Dong'e was still in the palace.

You know, Dong'e is the princess of Doro. He married a husband and was the former general of the Qing Dynasty. He is now attacking the city outside the East Gate.

If Dong'e forces Chen Zhiyuan to retreat, this may be a wonderful chess.
