How could this happen? How could it become like this?

Why did Ming Jun always have some tricks he unexpectedly do?

How could this be a fair and upright showdown?

It's obviously just a scoundrel.

Although Shang Kexi felt that he had eaten a fly, he had no choice.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

At this moment, Shang Kexi even had the idea of ​​leading his troops to break through.

There were not many Ming troops outside the city, and if Shang Kexi insisted on breaking through, they would not be able to stop him.

But in a second thought, he abandoned this idea.

He has asked Guanzhong for help.

According to time, Azig must have received a request for help and sent reinforcements.

If the reinforcements sent by Ajige came to Hanzhong and found that the city had changed its flags and flags, Shang Kexi would probably have been beheaded even if he escaped back to Guanzhong.

In other words, he has no way out now and can only defend Hanzhong City.

Shang Kexi took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He is the commander of the first army, and he must not be in trouble now.

If he is in chaos, the soldiers below will definitely follow suit, and there is no need to fight this battle.

The situation is not at the moment uncontrollable. If he can find a way to destroy the tunnel that the Ming army is digging, then the situation will return to the initial stage.

He had just confirmed that the cavalry was not good, so he had to find another way.

Maybe the cannon is good.

Although Shang Kexi does not have the exquisite and flexible small cannons like the Ming army, there are still several heavy cannons at the top of Hanzhong city.

Speaking of these heavy artillery, Shang Kexi was asking for it.

Ajige could not bear Shang Kexi's soft and hard work, so he waved his hand and gave him a few.

Now that I think about it, Shang Kexi is really foresighted.

If there weren't these cannons, I'm afraid I would have to roar to the sky now.

Shang Kexi immediately ordered the muzzle to be aimed at the position of the Ming army's mound, and ordered the attacking cavalry to retreat.

Although not all cavalry can return, one is one.

After all, these are all warriors that Shang Kexi spent a lot of money to support, and one of them would lose money to die.

After all adjustments were completed, Shang Kexi ordered the firing.

This heavy artillery is very bulky, but it is really powerful, and it is very suitable for siege or defending the city.

With Shang Kexi's order, the Qing soldiers lit the lead, but heard the sound of cannons, and lead bullets roared towards the mound.

Although the accuracy of the artillery cannot be guaranteed at this distance, the approximate range will not be wrong.

The Ming army was quite surprised to see the Tartars retreating. Before they could react, they saw the huge lead bomb whistling.

This thing is very terrifying. It instantly falls into a deep pit when it hits the ground.

Although lead bullets will not explode, some will jump and cause secondary damage.

This damage is really not small. Many Ming cavalrymen were killed by the damage caused by the jump.

Zeng Ying couldn't help but frown.

The Tartars are playing tricks.

If the Ming army was fighting in the field, of course they could withdraw the range of the Tartar artillery first.

But the problem is that they are now digging tunnels, and all the troops are also stationed in tunnels to prevent sudden attacks from the Tartars.

This is equivalent to a living target. The Tartars can bombard them with cannons without any worries.

Before we knew it, the Ming army became a passive side.

Now it was Zeng Ying's turn to be worried.

If you continue to persevere, you will definitely face the constant artillery bombardment of the Tartars.

But if I give up halfway, I'm sorry for Wen Anzhi's overall planning.

After all, Zeng Ying was just a chess piece in the plan to capture Hanzhong, and many people worked hard to seize Hanzhong.

Such as Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and others.

If Zeng Ying could not withstand the pressure in front of him, then the rest of the people could only stare at him foolishly.

Fortunately, Zeng Ying has some time to consider this issue.

Because after one round of bombardment of the Tartars, cold water must be poured into the barrel to cool down. Only after the temperature of the barrel drops completely can the secondary shelling be carried out.

Just when Zeng Ying made a difficult decision, a personal soldier suddenly came to report that Tian Jianxiu and General Yuan Zongdi led friendly forces to reinforce.

Zeng Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed.

With his strength, it would be difficult to resist the situation, but with Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi's troops were completely different.

The two of them have at least 50,000 or 60,000 people under their command, which is a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Come on your behalf!"

Zeng Ying had a good impression of Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi, at least he was stronger than that of Li Dingguo.

In his opinion, the two of them acted very obedient after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, without any rebelliousness at all.

This makes people feel very comfortable.

Soon Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi met Zeng Ying.

Zeng Ying warmly greeted him and said, "General Tian, ​​General Yuan, Zeng wants you to die."

Yuan Zongdi said a little embarrassedly: "General Zeng, we haven't been together for a long time."

Ta Jianxiu nodded with a smile while stroking her beard.

Zeng Ying laughed to hide his embarrassment.

"If you don't come again, Zeng will not be able to withstand it."

He paused for a moment and then said, "By the way General Tian, ​​General Yuan, did the Governor ask you to remove the fortress outside Hanzhong City? Why did you come to Zeng?"

Tian Jianxiu knew that Zeng Ying would have this question, and stroked her beard and smiled, "General Zeng, you probably don't know yet. Shang Kexi has given up all the outer fortresses. When we led our army to arrive, we found that these fortresses were empty. After we led our troops to station for a few days, we felt that it was really meaningless, so we came to support you together."

"Yes, it's too boring to stay in that place where birds don't poop. I, Old Yuan, can't do such a boring thing."

The two sang and reconciled, and Zeng Ying was stunned.

"There is such a thing? Why is this Shang Kexi so stupid?"

No wonder he led his troops to Hanzhong City so smoothly. It turned out that Shang Kexi had ordered the garrison of the fortresses around Hanzhong to be removed.

"Maybe Shang Kexi knew that these fortresses could not be defended anymore. It was understandable that he lost his car and Baoshuai. Besides, there is not even a grain of food in Hanzhong City now, so he had to find a way to defend the city. I guess he transferred all the grain from the fortresses near Hanzhong to Hanzhong."

Ta Jianxiu analyzed aloud.

"Yeah, that should be."

Zeng Ying thought about it carefully and said that this is indeed the case.

If he were Shang Kexi, he would probably do this.

As long as Shang Kexi defended Hanzhong and waited for reinforcements to drive away the Ming army, these outer fortresses could still be taken back in the future.

But if even Hanzhong City is lost, everything will be done.

Of course, these are not things that Zeng Ying needs to have a headache. Now with Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi's reinforcement has sufficient strength to pose a threat to Hanzhong on the frontal battlefield.
