Chapter 216: The two-stage attack and defense of the entire city is about to begin!

Chapter 216: The second phase of attack and defense in the city is about to begin!
In front of the East Gate of the city, a farce of asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on one's back, directed and performed by the whole person.

Wu Sangui, who had just arrived with his troops, did not buy into this, and Wu Guogui, who pretended to be moved by his words, did not achieve any results.

Upon hearing the other party's rebuttal, Wu Guogui hurriedly tried to make up for it.

"what!"

"Great Marshal!"

"Don't worry, Marshal. I understand. I will go to the prince to confess my crime when I return to the camp. I will never dare to drag down the entire Guanning Army!"

"I dare not! I absolutely dare not!"

"But, Marshal!"

"My troops fought in this battle in Mancheng, but they were not completely without results!"

"At this moment, although our troops have suffered heavy casualties, the enemy troops in the city are not much better!"

"At this moment, the soldiers defending the city have reached the end of their strength!"

"I will never accept this!"

"I hope the Marshal can help me! I will lead the team again and we will surely win in one fell swoop!"

"Commander!"

"Great Marshal!"

"Just give me a chance to atone for my crime!"

"I swear to take this city, or I will die with regrets, Marshal!"

Wu Guogui is thinking hard and still fighting for himself!

But after he finished speaking, Wu Sangui paused and raised his eyes, staring at the East Gate city wall!

"Humph!"

"The last gasp of a dying force?"

"The city defenses have not been breached, the city walls have not been damaged, your troops have achieved nothing!"

"correct!"

"On the way here, I ordered Taiyi (Hu Xinshui) to gather information along the way, and learned that Li Zicheng seemed to have a large amount of stranded food and grass stored in Mancheng!"

"Guogui!"

"If you really have a sincere heart and want to atone for your sins with this merit, then it's not impossible!"

"Take the remaining troops of your army and lead the siege in person!"

"If you can take it, go back to the prince and I will speak for you again!" Wu Sangui suddenly changed the subject.

Hearing this, Wu Guogui's eyes suddenly lit up!
"what!"

"Great, great commander! Great commander!"

"The Marshal has treated me with great kindness!"

"do not worry!"

"I will lead the death squad! Let's fight to the death!"

"I will never fail in my mission again!"

"It's just that the enemy soldiers defending the city have many methods!"

"Also, I hope the Marshal can send other troops to assist us!" Wu Guogui shamelessly asked again.

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui agreed surprisingly readily!

"I'm here to reinforce you this time. I've brought a dozen small-caliber tiger-crouching cannons with me!"

"Lay out the troops in front of the East Gate later to increase your firepower and boost your reputation!"

"Also, I will dispatch troops to the north and south gates of the city for a feint attack."

"This is Mancheng. The city is small and the walls are low. If we attack fiercely, there is no reason why we cannot conquer it. The country is precious, so you should rest assured!"

"remember!"

"If we can't defeat him again this time!"

"Then you don't have to come back with me! Just commit suicide on the battlefield!"

Wu Sangui calmly issued orders, and it seemed that he already had a plan in mind.

Thinking of this, Wu Guogui had nothing else to think about!

Now all he has gained is greater faith and a stronger mind!
"Yes!"

"Commander!"

"I will go and reorganize the troops right away!"

"Stay ready for orders and fight to the death to attack the city!"

After he finished speaking, Wu Guogui's eyes turned fiercely and he hurriedly moved away from Wu Sangui.

I gritted my teeth and believed that this was the last chance to survive!
Never say it again!

A few moments!

After Wu Guogui left, Wu Sangui followed from the side, and the general of the left camp, Hu Xinshui, rode his horse forward and approached the Marshal to give him a reminder.

"Commander!"

"This, this Wu Guogui is taking credit, attacking, and flattering for personal gain!"

"Why do you still want to use him when he behaves like a villain?!"

"I am worried that Wu Guogui might take advantage of the situation and lead his troops into the city and seize the food and grass!"

"That"

"It's the credit of being the first to reach the top!"

"A large amount of food and fodder has been obtained!"

"By then, it will be difficult to check and control!" "This person is selling out his master for personal gain!"

"Originally, I was considered brave and useful, but after the Battle of Yipianshi, I surrendered to the Qing!"

"This kid, his bones are light too!"

"I think it would be a nuisance if I kept this villain like this!"

"Marshal! You."

"I don't quite understand why you still allowed him to be the vanguard?!"

Hu Xinshui, whose courtesy name was Taiyi, was a native of Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty.

He is the guerrilla general of the left camp under Wu Sangui in Liaodong!
He and the two generals Xia Longshan from the right camp had young and brave men under their command, all of whom were talented and courageous, so Gui Jun became their confidants.

When Wu Sangui heard the reminder from him at this moment, he did not respond in a hurry, but smiled and continued to look at Dongguan.

"Hehehe!"

"Taiyi (Hu Xinshui), don't be impatient!"

"Here!"

"Look up and take a closer look at the city's defenses!"

"It's quite methodical!"

"The nobles of his country have been raising troops to attack us since midnight yesterday, and until now, they have lost seven or eight hundred soldiers, but have not achieved any success and have not made even a single step forward!"

"Haha, this Xiaoman City is not simple!"

"You, don't listen to Wu Guogui's nonsense about being at the end of his strength!"

"The city's defense walls are intact, and the battlements are crowded with people. How can they be at the end of their rope?!"

"To be honest, I'm just trying to scare you and me!"

"I predict that he will have a hard time defeating the enemy this time!"

"Since the attack has failed, why not let him take the lead?"

"First, we can use this to further test the strength of the defenders in the city! Then, you and I can advance with a better target and attack more easily!"

"Second time!"

"Taiyi (Hu Xinshui), this Wu Guogui is disloyal and unkind!"

"But after all, all those under his rule are from the Guanning Army!"

"You and I have to give an explanation to the people below when we come here this time. We must not demoralize the troops!"

Wu Sangui was a shrewd and cunning man, and his words showed his scheming.

After listening to his talk, Hu Xinshui was convinced and took it seriously. He nodded in acceptance and said no more!
16: pm (: p.m.).

Wu Guogui reorganized his troops and, with the cooperation of Wu Sangui's troop movements, finally began to storm the city from the East Gate!
At the same time there!

On top of the Dongguan city wall!

"Captain! Look!"

"The enemy is coming again!"

"This time the scene is quite big!"

"Just counted, the enemy reinforcements are about 3,000!"

"Look through the telescope, they even brought a cannon!"

"I guess this time, they are going to get serious, right?!"

Zhou Changsheng crouched down at another battlement of the city wall beside Li Huchen and began to talk.

"Hehe! We are waiting for the main force!"

“It’s not lively without people!”

"Ha ha!"

"Changsheng, have the equipment that I just ordered been prepared been completed?!" Hu Chen asked with excitement on his face.
