In today's fierce battle during the day, the Ming army's offensive was too fierce!
The corpses carried down from Guilin City almost piled up into mountains.

Such casualties, especially the high hit rate of rifled guns, really frightened the Qing army defending the city.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiushan's words now seem so convincing.

"But, so what?"

"Our soldiers will live on the state's salary for a long time. Now that the enemy is in front of us, if we are greedy for life and afraid of death, wouldn't we be disloyal and unrighteous?"

Wen Xu frowned and said, although he was a rough man and a martial artist, the one he admired the most since childhood was Grandpa Yue, and he also had some loyalty in his heart.

Although there are not many!

When Zhang Xiushan heard the words, he opened his mouth to persuade him.

"What is the general talking about?"

"The Qing captives were barbarians outside the pass, and they didn't know Wang Hua. It was a pity that fortune was unpredictable, so he was allowed to enter the pass and became the lord of China."

"However, after he entered the pass, he didn't know the destiny, and acted against his will. Every time there was a war, he slaughtered the people of our Han family."

"And use methods such as literary prison, shaving hair and changing clothing to destroy our Han family civilization. The high-level officials are even more extravagant, and use cruel methods to search the world wantonly to satisfy their extravagant enjoyment. Their crimes are simply unspeakable."

"Let it be a disaster for the world for so many years, and the luck of the dog tartar will be ruined!"

"We are all Han Chinese, how can we sit back and watch the people of the world continue to be enslaved by the Qing captives? Continue to be slaves of the Tartars?!"

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has revived from overseas, it has made a comeback and raised the banner of Emperor Taizu to drive out the Tartars and restore China."

"As Han people, even if we can't do our part for Daming Guang, how can we continue to help the Manchus and help the evildoers?"

"Furthermore, since the Ming Dynasty revived overseas and started the Northern Expedition, every battle must be won. Isn't there a destiny?"

Seeing that Wen Xu was still frowning, Zhang Xiushan said.

"General, please don't worry about the treatment after surrender!"

"I have already contacted Daming outside the city. As long as I surrender and offer the city, everything in the past can be forgotten."

"The lieutenant general Zuo Jie can get a reward and even continue to lead the army!"

"There is no reason to treat you badly!"

Only then did Wen Xu change his expression, nodded and said.

"The thing I admired the most since I was a child is the unparalleled loyalty of Grandpa Yue Feiyue!"

"But now that I think about it, it looks like it!"

"Grandfather Yue's loyalty back then was loyalty to the Han Dynasty, the orthodox loyalty of the world, and it was the loyalty of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, beating the Jurchen barbarians."

"It is to regain the Central Plains and restore the loyalty of the homeland!"

"Now, if the general is loyal to Man Qing, a foreign race who claims to be the descendant of Jurchen, how can he be worthy of Grandpa Yue's loyalty?!"

"..."

Zhang Xiushan smiled and said nothing, but Wen Xu was finally moved by his persuasion.

Wen Xu's shaking was like opening a Pandora's box. With Wen Xu as the key node, the influence spread rapidly like radiation.

The generals of the green battalion were persuaded one by one, and the situation in Guilin city began to become strange.

……

The governor's office of the governor of Guangxi!
It was already very late at night, but Lu Maode, the governor of Guangxi, still didn't sleep.

He sat behind the desk, busy with the work at hand.

Hearing the faint sound of shelling from the direction of the city wall, Lu Yaode's old face was full of worry.

He never expected that the Ming army's offensive would be so fierce!
This is only the first day!

With his heart full of worries, he took a sip of the strong tea in his hand.

The bitter tea entered his throat, refreshing his mind and at the same time making the expression on his face much more relaxed.

Clank!Clank!
There was a knock on the door of the study, Lu Maode raised his head and said to come in, his personal entourage walked in from the door, and said in Lu Yaode's ear.

"My lord, report back to the brothers from those families in the city. They saw Zhang Xiushan from the Zhang family..."

It's just that, just halfway through what Qin Sui said, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Then, there was the flames soaring into the sky, and the deafening shouts of killing.

Under the leadership of Wen Xu and others, the garrison green battalion in the city cut their braids and revolted, and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

After the uprising, they split into two groups and began to act.

All the way soldiers and horses rushed straight to the governor's office, intending to capture and kill Guangxi governor Lu Maode, and then took Lu Maode's head to ask Daming for credit.

Soldiers and horses all the way went straight to the gate of Guilin, wanting to seize control of the gate, open the gate to welcome the surrender, and invite the soldiers of tomorrow to enter the city.

Wherever the rebel army passed by, in order to cause chaos as much as possible, torches were thrown away one by one.

The torches ignited the wooden buildings on both sides of the street, and the flames rose rapidly, and the billowing black smoke shot straight into the sky like black dragons.

Chaos spread rapidly!
The small half of Guilin city is full of flames.

……

Lu Yaode stood up abruptly from behind the desk, staring at the direction of the fire with piercing eyes, and his face quickly fell down.

"what happened!"

"what is the problem!"

Just when Lu Yaode was shocked, a soldier who was stumbling in from outside was covered in blood all over his body.

As soon as the bidder soldier entered the study, he collapsed on the ground with a thud, raised his head, and said in a weak tone.

"My... my lord! Something is wrong!"

"In the city... the Green Battalion soldiers in the city have rebelled!"

"..."

Click!

The teacup at hand was swept to the ground, and the tiles were broken.

Rumble!
Hearing this, Lu Maode felt his head go blank, his blood rushed to his scalp, and there seemed to be thunder roaring in his ears, as if it was going to shatter his eardrums.

"It's over!"

"It's over!"

"It's really over!"

This is the only thought in Lu Yaode's mind now.

Under the onslaught of the Ming army, Guilin City was already crumbling and struggling to support.

Now that there is such a disturbance in the city again, and the green camp rebellion is stationed, I am afraid that Guilin City is really undefendable.

Even if you don't talk about the destruction of the city caused by the Green Camp rebellion, it is definitely impossible to keep the three thousand bids alone!
The wall stacks are not full.

Guard the city?

Keep a tick!

"Quickly, give the order to Fubiao, immediately dispatch troops to quell the rebellion, seize control of the city gate, and never let the Ming thief enter the city..."

Although desperate, Lu Maode is not a person who gives up easily.

Even if he knew that there was nothing he could do, he still wanted to struggle to the death!
……

Outside the city of Guilin, the Ming army camp!
It was late at night, and just as Liu Shantai fell asleep, he got a report that something was wrong in Guilin City.

The city was on fire, and great chaos occurred!
The shouts of killing soared to the sky!
The lieutenant in charge of patrolling the battalion tonight was wearing a suit of armor, and strode into Liu Shantai's big tent.

"General, something has happened!"

"Those people in Guilin city sent people out of the city overnight to make contact, they're in trouble!"

"I hope the army can support it from the side!"

Liu Shantai narrowed his eyes, and then gave an order.

"Pass down the order, the whole army is assembled to prepare for war!"

"Prepare to attack Guilin City at night!"

After thinking about it, he spoke again.

"Let the engineering troops give up attacking the city!"

He is planning for the future.

There is a high probability that the Ming army will take Guilin City tonight, but after taking Guilin City, Daming cannot predict what Wu Sangui will do next.

In case Wu Sangui continued to march into Guangxi, then Daming is expected to have a large-scale decisive battle with Wu Sangui's troops in the Guilin area.

If the Ming army doesn't bomb the city now, when the decisive battle breaks out, the Ming army will be able to rely on a strong city of Guilin.

At that time, whether it is offense or defense, the initiative will be controlled by Daming.

Moreover, not bombing the city now can also save the manpower and material resources needed by Daming to rebuild Guilin City in the future!
