Lin Chong reported: "Fu Tai, the last one will request to recruit the people to defend the city immediately."

Zhang Xuanxi sighed: "Why are the people? Being poisoned by this? Open the north gate and let the people escape." Although he regarded Emperor Shunzhi as his confidant and wanted to die for his confidant, he refused to do the things that ruined the people to do.

The north gate opened, and the people of Shu County dragged their families and fled out of the city.

Jing Keqin said to Ma Bao: "Pu Cheng Bo, why not take advantage of the situation and enter?"

Ma Bao's eyes were red. He was from Longde, Shaanxi. When he was born, his family was too poor and Shaanxi suffered another disaster. His parents abandoned him in the desert. 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 than save food for him to eat, and teach him to read and practice. Looking at these ordinary people, Ma Bao suddenly remembered his brother and sister-in-law.

He glared at him, "The Tartars know how to protect the people. Is it better to be the Tartars, the kingly army of the Ming Dynasty? They must not seize the door and fight after the people have finished their journey."

The people finished walking and the north gate was closed quickly.

"Siege!"

Ma Bao issued a military order, standing under the general's flag, and being powerful without anger. His face was 29 years old and his eyes were red. He lost his parents at a young age, and he was strong and red in his eyes. He was good at using trolls and rifles. He was resourceful and brave. He also liked to make friends with scholars ("Although Bao had a group of thieves, he was good at traveling with scholars").

With a single thought of kindness, it is much more difficult to attack the city.

Shu County was small and strong, and more than 10,000 Qing troops were divided into three teams and took turns to defend the city, guarding the city as solid as a golden soup. The Ming army attacked the city from all sides and did not break for seven days.

In the second round of the Ming army, thousands of people from the Marquis of Nan'an arrived. When they saw Ma Bao, they asked, "Pu Cheng Bo, you are a brave general of our army, a small town, why hasn't you been slow to go down?"

Ma Bao was so embarrassed that his face turned red, "Shu County was small and strong, and Zhang Xuanxi, the pseudo-Qing governor, won the military spirit, so he was reluctant to defeat it."

It turns out that although Zhang Xuanxi didn't know much about fighting, he was honest and honest as an official, never deducted military pay, and was kind and did not put on airs. Therefore, he was very loved by his subordinates and was willing to fight for it.

Hao and the second generals of Ma were originally Li Zicheng's subordinates. Hao Yongzhong's qualifications in the Dashun army were much older than Ma Bao. He looked down upon him, "Pucheng, the soldiers are very fast, Your Majesty is watching us. According to my wishes, you will attack the South Gate in the early morning tomorrow and I will definitely break the city."

He had some grudges about Ma Bao, not because of Ma Bao himself, but because of Emperor Guangwu.

One day Emperor Guangwu talked about the generals of the Ming army with the Grand Secretary He Wuzuo, saying that Hao Yongzhong carried the flag and charged forward, and was unstoppable, and could be called a powerful general; while Ma Bao was not only brave, but also had strategy, and could be called a famous general. The powerful general and the famous general were only one word apart, but Hao Yongzhong was not convinced. When I was pulling the flag to make a living, Ma Bao didn't know where to feed him. Why did Your Majesty say that I was just a powerful general, but Ma Bao was a wise general? This time, Zhu Hengjia gave Ma Bao the position of vanguard again, but he was even more dissatisfied.

In the early morning of the next day, before the rooster crowed, Hao Yongzhong ordered his general Fan Fengren to attack Ximen first, hoping to climb the city in front of Ma Bao.

"Uncle Urachi, the last general asks for a fight!"

Seeing that Hao's troops attacked the city in advance, Ma Bao's troops generals Ta Xince, Li Gui, Jiao Hongcao, He Tianyun, Cao Fude, and Shan Taizheng were very angry and asked for battle. The generals fought for one breath, and no one was willing to fall behind.

The sparse artillery shells fell into the Ming army formation and did not cause much casualties. Fan Fengren, the general of Hao's army, led his army to the west.

"Boundist, shoot for me." Ke Sheng'er roared. He had been with his father and brother since he was a child and had rich combat experience. He only started shooting arrows when the Ming army entered the range.

"Swoosh swish swish swish", "Shizhhh", both sides shot at each other, soldiers kept falling down, and people kept making up.

When Zhang Xuanxi saw the west gate, the south gate was in a tight position and urgently ordered Lin Chong to reinforce the west gate from the north gate, and Tang Bangjie rushed from the east gate to the south gate.

Fan Fengren braved the rain of arrows and grabbed the Western City Wall, and won the victory. Lin Chong fought to the death. The Sun and Moon Flags of the Ming Dynasty and the Green Camp were mixed together, and it was hard to leave.

Fan Fengren was unlucky and died in the fierce battle by a runaway arrow. When the Ming army was frustrated, they were driven down from the city wall.

Hao Yongzhong was furious and ordered the flag guard to move the flag forward and charge himself. However, the general was defeated and the morale of the army was unstable. Ke Sheng'er and Lin Chong fought to the death, but they could not attack.

At the south gate, Ma Bao divided the siege troops into three teams: Ta Xince, Li Gui led a team, Jiao Hongcao, He Tianyun led a team, Cao Fude, and Shan Taizheng led a team, and took turns to attack the city.

On the back of the southern city wall, Qing soldiers sat on the city steps in teams, resting quietly, waiting for the upcoming storm.

"The Ming army rushed over, hurry up to the city wall."

With the shouts of the whistle, teams of Qing troops trotted to the city and the bloody battle began.

Outside the south city, Ma Bao asked his subordinates to build a hundred "districts", which is the high platform outside the city. He ordered Jing Keqin to lead two thousand archers, stand on the districts, and shoot at the city wall.

The archers on the city reflected without showing any weakness, turmeric oil, golden soup, stones, and rolling woods were thrown down like rain.

The Ming army attacked the city wall several times, but was driven off by the Qing army. The Ming army's deputy general Ta Xince and the Qing army's deputy general Tang Bangjie were both killed in battle.

It was getting late and the deer was still not defeated. Hao Yongzhong and Ma Bao had no choice but to call the gold to withdraw their troops.

"Walking in the wind and snow, we will fight the Central Plains in the north. The Huns are not destroyed, and we are ashamed to return home. The phoenix does not roar and the Yellow River is not clear. When will the peace be? My heart is wandering in the wind and wields only for you. A generous man will wash away the national humiliation. He will wait for the sword to wait for the dawn, and sacrifice his life and forget to die. Above the Lin Pavilion, the twelve jade towers. The heroic spirits are immortal, and the wings are wandering. Winter goes and spring comes, and the fragrance is full of the trees. The blood is like a tide, and the rushing cannot be stopped. The capital is approaching, and long songs are joyful."

The wind flies, the horse is hissing, and the singing is crazy.

On October 6, the fourth year of Guangwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hengjia's army arrived directly under Shulu City.

A stick with "sun and moon are bright", "three mysterious and four dimensions", "the sky is the extreme, and the sun and moon flag is surrounded by Shulu City and is blocked. This blue sky sun and moon flag is extraordinary, and was designed by Emperor Longqing, the twelfth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, symbolizing the heaven and rule the world in the Ming Dynasty. Once this flag appeared, it was deeply affected not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in Korea, Ryukyu, and Japan. Later Korean and Japanese flags obviously left traces of the Sun and Sun flags.

"Your Majesty, Shulu City is small but strong, and the pseudo-Qing governor Zhang Xuanxi is very stubborn and will not be able to capture it for a long time." Hao Yongzhong and Ma Bao apologized.

After hearing the two generals talk about the situation, Zhu Hengjia nodded, "This is not your fault. Follow me to investigate the enemy's situation."

Eight horses were pulling the imperial carriage and patrolling the city. Zhu Hengjia stood in the center of the imperial carriage with a thousand-mile mirror. Hao Yongzhong and Ma Bao were guarding the left and right, and the tall Panlong Celestial was extremely arrogant.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

Seeing the emperor coming in person, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the depression that he had not yet captured the city for a long time was wiped out.

After inspecting the city wall, Zhu Hengjia ordered: "The southern city wall is the most broken. Tomorrow, heavy artillery will be concentrated, and chariots will be charged to attack the southern city. Those who behead the fake governor Zhang Xuanxi will be promoted to the first level."
