At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Boom boom boom——

The red-coated cannons roared.

Zheng Chenggong marched on the Yangtze River, Sun Kewang rested in Sanxiang, Li Dingguo established himself in southern Yunnan, and Wu Sangui sent troops to Yunnan.

And Li Laiheng took the lead in firing the first shot at the Han people after the situation in the world reversed in the Battle of Baoqing.

Eighty-seven red-coated cannons presented by Sun Kewang, plus the captures of Shun troops and others, made a total of 105 red-coated heavy cannons roaring like Dashun.

At this moment, people like Li Laiheng want to avenge their past humiliation, capture Jingzhou, and kill the traitor Zheng Siwei to avenge the humiliation they suffered thirteen years ago.

"Fire back!" Zheng Siwei shouted from the top of the city.

The artillery of the Qing army fired from the top of the city, and the artillery of the Shun army started an artillery battle.

In an instant, a cannonball hit the female wall, collapsing countless rubble, killing and wounding several Qing soldiers.

Another artillery shell also fell in the Shunjun artillery formation, immediately muting a Shunjun cannon.

Boom boom boom——

Countless artillery shells rained down, and the fierce artillery battle continued.

Li Laiheng gave an order, and countless Dashun soldiers pushed forward with shield carts and sandbags on their shoulders.

And these soldiers took advantage of the Qing army's red-coated artillery to engage in an artillery battle with their own heavy artillery, and pushed their small and medium-sized artillery forward.

In the Battle of Jingzhou thirteen years ago, the Shun army had no heavy artillery and no food and fodder, but now these two shortcomings have been made up for by Sun Kewang.

Soon, amid heavy artillery fire, the Shun army arrived in front of the trench dug by Zheng Siwei.

After the traitor of Dashun learned that the tigers of the Shun army had escaped from trouble, he immediately dug trenches and strengthened the city defense.

Jingzhou's city defense was already extremely strong, but after the Battle of Jingzhou in 1646, Jingnan Daotai Li Xifeng and Jingzhou Commander-in-Chief Zheng Siwei continued to strengthen the base, improving the defense capabilities of this important town in Jingzhou again.

This is also Zheng Siwei's greatest confidence. Thirteen years ago, he was able to block a hundred thousand soldiers with four thousand soldiers and horses.

Why can't we create another miracle after thirteen years?

Bags of sand and soil were filled into the trenches. Zheng Siwei could easily dig trenches, and the Shun army could easily fill them up.

However, the trenches eventually blocked the advance of the Shun army, resulting in many soldiers being killed and wounded in the Qing artillery fire.

After filling up the trench, the Shun army continued to advance and was about to reach the bottom of the moat.

With a bang, a shield car was blown to pieces by a red-coated cannon, and the surrounding soldiers of the Shun Army were killed or injured.

However, another cannonball landed on the city wall, immediately muting a Qing army's red-coated cannon.

There are more than thirty red-coated cannons of various types under the city walls of Jingzhou, and countless other small and medium-sized cannons.

However, compared with the more than one hundred red-coated cannons of the Shun Army, the Qing Army did not have the upper hand in terms of firepower.

As the Shun army approached, small and medium-sized artillery on both sides began to fire.

All kinds of artillery such as the Folan cannon and the Tiger Crouching Cannon were working hard to shoot at each other.

A bag of sandbags was first thrown into the moat, followed by countless sandbags.

The wide moat was filled in at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Shoot and fire!"

Zheng Siwei shouted again. As the Shun army approached on the city wall, the Qing army's bows, arrows and muskets also began to fire.

The soldiers under the city also fought back with bows, arrows and muskets.

But after all, the Qing army was in a condescending position and had the crenellations of the female wall as cover.

Therefore, in the face of the contest between the two sides, the Shun army suffered many casualties, while the Qing army suffered fewer casualties.

"Commanders of Dashun, come to me!" a Shun army officer shouted.

In an instant, the first filled trench launched a charge. Countless soldiers swarmed up and erected the first ladder on the Jingzhou city wall.

Several Shunjun soldiers climbed up quickly.

However, a thunder stone fell, and the leader of the Shun Army officer suffered a brain fracture and fell from the ladder.

Immediately afterwards, more thunder stones and rolling logs were smashed down, and all the soldiers of the Shun army on the ladder were knocked down.

However, at this moment, more roads were paved with sandbags on the moat.

Aerial ladders were set up on the Jingzhou city wall, and countless generals climbed up.

"Throw it, throw it to me quickly!" Zheng Siwei led his soldiers to patrol back and forth on the city wall.

Constantly urging the Qing soldiers and the civilians who were forced to go to the city to fight back against the Shun army.

There was a bang, and as soon as a Qing soldier raised his head with a stone, he was shot in the cheek and fell directly.

"what--!"

The civilian husbands around looked at the miserable condition of the soldiers and yelled crazily. The brave ones even peed their pants.

Zheng Siwei's face was extremely ferocious, and he immediately killed him with the sword in his hand.

"Throw it to me, you mud-legged fellows! If you don't throw it away, you will die!" He yelled, slashing one at a time.

The surrounding soldiers also hacked and killed civilian husbands.

Under the threat of the Qing army's butcher's knife, these civilians were terrified.

He had no choice but to lift stones and throw them at the attacking Shun army.

Zheng Siwei was covered in blood and his face was extremely hideous.

He was like a demon on the wall of Jingzhou, constantly supervising the battles. As long as the soldiers and civilians were timid, he would lead his own soldiers to kill them.

"We defeated the intruders today, and each of us will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! The civilians also have three taels. If anyone dares to fight, not only will they die under my sword, but your wives, children, and children will also be sent down! I will also send them down to accompany you!"

In order to survive, Zheng Siwei made promises and threats at the same time.

Under the influence of silver and butcher's knives, the Qing army and civilians defended particularly tenaciously in the face of the overwhelming offensive of the Dashun army.

The corpses under the city wall have piled up like a mountain, but no one has even climbed up the city wall.

With a pop, a bowl of golden juice was poured down.

Several Shun soldiers screamed and fell from the ladder. At this time, some of their parts were directly cooked, and many of them even began to lose their skin.

And the infection caused by the bacteria in the gold juice makes it almost impossible for them to survive.

All kinds of city defense weapons were used crazily. Facing the fortified city of Jingzhou, a large number of soldiers of the shun army shed blood under the city.

Li Laiheng raised his telescope and frowned at everything in front of him.

Thirteen years ago, his father and uncle Gao led one hundred thousand Dashun soldiers and were defeated at the gates of Jingzhou City.

Now facing this fortified city, even if he had red-coated cannons and food and grass, it seemed that it would be difficult for him to eat it for a while.

It must be stormed many times, and after a long siege, the city can only be captured by exhausting all the troops and supplies in the city.

"How will Uncle Gao choose?" He murmured to himself and looked into the distance.

Jingzhou has six city gates, the east gate is named Yinbin Gate, the south is Nanji Gate, the west gate is called Anlan Gate, the north gate is called Gongji Gate, the small north gate is located in the northeast, named Yuan'an Gate, and the small east gate is located in the southeast, named Public Security Gate.

Among them, Yinbin Gate, Gong'an Gate, Nanji Gate and Gongji Gate were all guarded by Zheng Siwei.

The Gongji Gate was guarded by Ke Yongsheng.

However, his cousin Gao Shougui led the troops to guard Yuan'anmen.

His cousin betrayed Dashun thirteen years ago, but now Li Laiheng desperately needs him to come back again.

As soon as Yuan'an Gate is opened, Shunjun's soldiers and horses can quickly enter the city, and naturally there is no need to say more about what happens next.

At this moment, Gao Shougui looked at the Dashun flag in front of him and clutched Li Laiheng's letter tightly in his hand. The main force of the Shun army stormed other city gates to attract the attention of the Qing army.

But now a group of elite soldiers came in front of him, quietly waiting for his choice.

Li Laiheng believed that his cousin would open the door for him.

It’s just that I have been a traitor for thirteen years, can I still go back to the past?

"Commander, do it. The Tatars are already grasshoppers in the autumn and will not grow up for a few more days. As long as we are willing to surrender, and when Duke Xingguo gets Jingzhou and goes north to the Central Plains, maybe we can enter Beijing for the second time." One of the confidants spoke slowly.

Gao Shougui's team has been in the Qing army for thirteen years.

But now, many Shunjun elders think of Dashun's past glory.

The sun has set on the Manchu and Qing dynasties, and Dashun has already escaped.

What else is worthy of their service in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Is it just based on the braid on their head?

Gao Shougui breathed out a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Open the door." He spoke slowly, and the cronies around him were overjoyed.

In an instant, the suspension bridge was lowered, Yuan'an Gate opened wide, and a flat road appeared in front of Shun Jun.

"Haha! Gao Shougui, the Queen Mother's love for him was not in vain."

Yuan Zongdi laughed loudly, jumped on his horse, led his cavalry across the filled trench, and took the lead into Jingzhou City.

In an instant, countless cavalrymen swarmed in and entered the city that had made them sad in the past.

Gao Shougui looked at everything in front of him and sighed, then his eyes became firm.

"Brothers, we have been dogs for the Tatars for thirteen years!"

"Now we can finally be human again!"

Before he finished speaking, he grabbed his braid, swiped the saber in his hand, and a rat tail was cut off.

"Cut off the braids and kill the Tatars, and take back our country of Dashun!"

For a time, the old people in Shunjun cut off their braids one after another and shouted loudly:

"Cut off the braids and kill the Tatars, and take back our country of Dashun!"

The shouts rose from small to loud, and in an instant, more than a thousand soldiers under Gao Shougui's command cut off their pigtails that they had kept for thirteen years.

Then, under the leadership of officers, they launched an attack along the city wall against Ke Yongsheng's troops stationed at Gongji Gate.

"What! Gao Shougui rebelled!" On top of the city, Ke Yongsheng opened his mouth in disbelief.

Although Gao Shougui was born in Shunjun, he had been loyal to the Manchus for thirteen years.

In the past thirteen years, he has been promoted from an inconspicuous general to the deputy general of Changde. When the Western bandits moved northward, he was unwilling to surrender and led his troops to retreat to Jingzhou.

How can such a person be so contrary to what he says?

"Commander, look! The high thief has brought people to kill, what should we do now!" The confidant asked eagerly, pointing to Gao Shougui's subordinates in the distance.

"What to do!" Ke Yongsheng gritted his teeth.

"If he rebels, we will rebel too!"

"What?" The confidants were immediately confused.

"Now the intruders have entered the city. We have intruders in front of us and there are intruders in the city."

"Even if they can be killed, the entire Jianghan, except Jingzhou, will fall into the hands of the intruders."

Ke Yongsheng sighed: "Even if I can lead my brothers to travel hundreds of miles and break out of the siege and return to Wuchang."

"But so what? Will the Tatars let me go if I lose Jingzhou? Once something happens to me, the admiral, will you be able to enjoy the good fruit?"

"Now the only way for us to survive is to rebel!"

Our Qing Dynasty forced Dasu and Li Mengzu to defend Wuchang, while Dasu and Li Mengzu forced Ke Yongsheng and Zheng Siwei to defend Jingzhou.

This would certainly allow them to put in more effort when defending the city.

But when Jingzhou is destined to be undefendable, what else can Ke Yongsheng do?

Our Qing Dynasty has already said that it will lose the nine Zhulian tribes in Jingzhou, and now Jingzhou is about to be lost.

If Ke Yongsheng rebels, he will lose the nine tribes. If he doesn't rebel, he will lose himself and his nine tribes.

Therefore, whichever of the two powers harms each other, Admiral Ke can only rebel now.

"Vice-General Gao, don't fire arrows or shoot. I'm a friendly force!"

Under the city wall, Ke Yongsheng cut off his braids and raised a white flag.

Gao Shougui was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Brothers, kill the Tartars!"

On the city wall, the number of people who captured the Gongji Gate increased instead of decreasing.

Ke Yongsheng made a prompt decision and led his troops to seize the opportunity and surrender immediately.

Then he led his elite soldiers and launched an attack on Zheng Siwei's troops.

The sun was setting and noon had passed. Zheng Siwei, who personally supervised the battle, looked at the corpses under the city wall and showed a satisfied smile.

"There are no intruders. I was able to defend Jingzhou for thirteen years and defeated Li Guo and Gao Yigong. Now facing a little brat like Li Laiheng, I can defend it for another ten years!"

A voice sounded, and Zheng Siwei laughed, boosting the morale of his soldiers.

"The commander is mighty. With the commander here and Jingzhou here, the intruders can't do anything to us!"

All the cronies started to flatter him one after another.

Zheng Siwei smiled with satisfaction and contentment.

Then at this moment, a voice came from behind him.

"Master, it's not good! Gao Shougui let the intruders into the city, and Ke Yongsheng, the bastard, also rebelled!"

A city gate guard came to Zheng Siwei with a sad face.

"What!" Zheng Siwei's face turned pale and his whole body trembled.

Then he looked around and found that many soldiers and horses on the city wall were coming towards him.

"Master, what should we do?"

Zheng Siwei's cronies were panicked and asked questions one by one.

"What should I do? What can I do!"

Zheng Siwei was so sad and angry that he went crazy.

Gao Shougui rebelled, Ke Yongsheng also rebelled, and Zheng Siwei wanted to rebel rather than surrender.

But will Li Laiheng and the others give him a chance?

"Gao Shougui, Ke Yongsheng, you are wasting your time on Gu Guoen!"

Zheng Siwei roared with grief and anger. He tried his best to fight off the Shun army here, but his teammates shot directly at the beginning. What else could he do!

"Whoever can capture Zheng Siwei alive will be rewarded by this admiral with a thousand taels of silver!" Ke Yongsheng couldn't wait and personally led the team to the vicinity of Zheng Siwei, hoping to use Zheng Siwei to make a future.

"Protect the boss." Many cronies took up arms and started fighting with Ke Yongsheng's men.

However, more of the cronies fled in a hurry when they saw the disaster coming.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zheng Siwei was heartbroken. He picked up his saber and put it on his neck. Then he killed himself with a single stroke.

If he fell into the hands of Shun Jun, his life would be worse than death.

It's better to commit suicide here and suffer less.

With Gao Shougui's betrayal, Ke Yongsheng's surrender, and Zheng Siwei's suicide, the Battle of Jingzhou came to an end. (End of chapter)
