    Looking at the sincere face of Wang Yuanya, Mangui suddenly became excited. He clasped his fists like a brother and said loudly: "Don't worry, sir. Mangui will try his best to ensure that the city is here!" Wang Yuanya nodded with satisfaction.  At that time, it was difficult to get off the tiger, but now Jiannu besieged the city, and he could only rely on Mangui.  If Zunhua City is lost, even if he survives, he will probably be killed by the imperial court!  The best way for him to survive is to defend Zunhua City. This will never change.  Looking at the countryside while holding on to the crenellations of the city wall, Wang Yuanya suddenly felt a bit desperate. There was a Jiannu camp and Jiannu cavalry everywhere, all of which made Wang Yuanya feel a lot of pressure.  "General Man, based on the capabilities of Zunhua City, how long do you think the general can last?" Wang Yuanya called Man Gui to her side and asked in a lowered voice.  "Sir, the wall of Zunhua City is tall. Although there is no moat below, it is already covered with trenches. There are artillery and many other defensive equipment on the city. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now there are defenders in the city.  Twenty thousand, facing the Tatars, they naturally have the same hatred, and the people's support is very strong. The general is not worried about defending Zunhua. However, there is one thing, the general is unsure!" Mangui looked serious and spoke in a calm voice.  He first gave Wang Yuanya a reassurance before mentioning his own difficulties.  After listening to Mangui's words, Wang Yuanya's demeanor really improved a lot. She nodded and said, "General, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you!" "Back to your lord, I would like to know how many people there are in Zunhua City.  How long can Zunhua survive if we save food?" Man Gui looked at Wang Yuanya with a slightly worried look.  The city is tall and the people's support is available. It is easy to defend Zunhua, but food is always the most important.  If there is no food in the city.  It will be extremely difficult to hold on.  Originally, she thought Mangui was going to ask something, but when she heard it was about food, Wang Yuanya breathed a sigh of relief.  While other problems may be troublesome to solve, food is not.  He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "This year, all the food for the army for the winter is in Zunhua City and has not been distributed to the garrison in various places. Therefore, the food in Zunhua City is still sufficient. If it is consumed by the army alone, at least  If we can persist for four months, these are not counted as food reserves in the hands of the people." Hearing Wang Yuanya's words, Mangui breathed a sigh of relief. Four months was enough for the court to mobilize troops and generals, and it was enough to bring down Jiannu.  Got it!  Even if the food is distributed to the people, it will be enough to last for two months. With the food being expensive, we will have confidence.  Early the next morning, the sun had just risen.  The sound of horns sounded in the camp outside Zunhua City, and the neighing of horses continued.  Everyone in the city knows that Jiannu is probably going to attack!  Wearing armor, Mangui appeared on the top of the city for the first time, his red cloak rustling in the wind. Holding the sword at his waist, Mangui looked at the camp below the city with an expressionless face.  Below the city head, Governor Wang Yuanya was sitting in a simple shed with a flagpole erected high.  There is a big word "Íõ" on it, fluttering in the wind.  "The governor is below. If the flagpole does not fall, sir! Today, I, Mangui, will live and die with Zunhua. If the city is with me, I will perish if the city is destroyed! If you cannot guard Zunhua, what will happen to Mr. Wang behind you and the people in the city?"  The people will not survive! Raise troops for a thousand days, use them for a while, you son of a bitch!" Mangui turned around, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted loudly, his voice carried by the wind.  .  The message spreads far!  ¡°Fuck him, you son of a bitch!¡± Countless voices echoed above Cheng¡¯s head, and the soldiers knew very well that they must hold on, as the day the city was broken would also be their end.  The battle started soon. The slaves below the city seemed not to take Zunhua City seriously and rushed over with an order.  The slaves at the front were carrying long wooden boards in their hands. They quickly ran to the edge of the trench and set up the wooden boards there.  Although arrows rained down from their heads, these people seemed not to feel it.  Screams kept ringing in their ears, but these people seemed not to hear them and continued to build the pontoon bridge.  Seeing this scene, Mangui¡¯s brows suddenly wrinkled. It seemed that he was too optimistic!  Jiu Nu is a completely lifeless play style. How come it is a lifeless play style?  Mangui kept thinking.  In Dajin¡¯s camp, Nurhaci took the lead, staring at Zunhua City with a fierce light in his eyes that made people dare not look at him.  Dorgon on the side wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth. He didn't know how to persuade his father.  Although he knew it was wrong to do so, Dorgon couldn't speak.  Last night, Nurhachi received the news that his son Huang Taiji died!  This news made the originally calm Nurhachi become violent in an instant, which led to this life-threatening attack this morning!  Dorgon felt that his father wasHe was already blinded by hatred, but he could not dissuade him, because that would only anger Nurhachi!  The battle became intense as soon as the battle began. Ladders were constantly placed on top of the city, and the disciples of the Eight Banners with daggers in their mouths kept climbing up.  Although people fell around him from time to time, and some people let out shrill screams, none of these could stop the Eight Banners disciples from moving forward.  When the four construction trucks were pushed out, Mangui's face suddenly turned ugly. He didn't expect Jiannu to have such a thing.  A three-story siege engine with a huge battering ram on the bottom used to hit the city gates.  The height of the top floor is higher than the city wall, and the slaves above are shooting inward with bows and arrows.  "Use artillery to destroy the siege vehicles!" Although Mangui was worried in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, and he calmly ordered the messenger beside him.  "Yes, General!" The ordering soldier was not so calm and ran away!  Once the siege vehicle is set up on the city wall, the slaves will continue to come up from below, and it will become a hand-to-hand fight!  Soon the artillery was concentrated, and shells continued to hit the siege vehicle, seemingly determined to destroy the fatal thing.  Seeing that a siege vehicle was dismembered by the Ming army's artillery fire, and many of the Eight Banners disciples on the city were killed and injured, Dorgon finally couldn't sit still, and drove his horse to Nurhachi, where nearly a thousand people came. He said respectfully: "Father Khan, please obey me."  There are four sides, Dorgon is willing to lead the troops to attack from the west gate!" Looking straight at Dorgon, Nurhaci suddenly sighed deeply, the fierceness in his eyes faded a lot, and said in a calm voice: "  Go! Don¡¯t let Father Khan down! Take the 20,000 men from the Mongolian tribes with you, don¡¯t let me down!¡± Dorgon raised his head and said seriously:  "Father, don't worry, Dorgon is gone!" Mangui on the top of the city has been sending people to keep an eye on Jiannu's camp. When he knew that a man and horse appeared in the west of the city, Mangui knew that Jiannu was going to bloom in many ways!  Ordering Xicheng to be on guard, Mangui still kept a close eye on the remaining three siege vehicles.  The shouts of killing were loud on the battlefield. Dorgon looked up at the Ming army waiting in formation on the top of the city. He recalled his father Khan's order with a bit of helplessness on his face.  However, this helplessness was fleeting and was replaced by a look of determination.  Reaching out and pulling out his sword, Dorgon shouted loudly: "After the city is broken, don't take anything, don't capture anyone! Burn them all, kill them all, and use them to commemorate my brother Huang Taiji! Charge!" Accompanying  With an order, the Eight Banners disciples who had been prepared for a long time rushed forward, followed closely by the people from the Mongolian tribes.  The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, and people were constantly being carried down from the top of the city, all with arrow wounds.  Some were motionless, while others were gasping for air.  Seeing this scene, Governor Wang Yuanya¡¯s face turned ugly. Can Zunhua City really stop Jiannu¡¯s fierce attack?  Eunuch Li, the eunuch who was supervising the army on one side, had long since lost the feeling of being in trouble. He was squatting on one side and vomiting all over the place, his face full of horror.  "Sir, all the doctors in the city have arrived, and they are all treating the wounded now!" An official from the governor's office walked up to Wang Yuanya, saluted, and said respectfully.  Although he is standing here, Wang Yuanya is not just standing here, he is the one who takes care of everything.  Stabilizing public sentiment and arranging logistical matters are also very important.  Nodding and taking a deep breath, Wang Yuanya turned around and told the official: "You just stare there and let those doctors show their real skills and medicinal materials, so that these doctors who are working hard can show their true skills."  The soldier survived! " "Sir, don't worry! I have already moved my luggage there, and after reporting to you, I will go there!" The official looked relaxed, as if he was not talking about him.  things.  Patting the man's shoulder, Wang Yuanya said with satisfaction: "You are very good, go ahead! If you can persevere this time, I will personally write a memorial to the emperor to recommend you!"  What's the matter? I'm leaving!" Seeing Wang Yuanya nodding, the official turned and left.  This scene keeps happening, Zunhua City is still peaceful, and Wang Yuanya is not so anxious anymore.  After the fierce attack that lasted for two hours, Jiannu seemed to be tired, and the attackers retreated like a tide.  The city was full of corpses of Jiannu slaves. Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and soot was everywhere, choking people's lungs.  Sitting on the chair with a sigh of relief, Wang Yuanya suddenly beamed with joy, Zunhua City was saved!  Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.  Jiannu failed to succeed in his first strong attack, and I'm afraid it will be even harder in the future!  Before Wang Yuanya could see Mangui, a person from outside ran in quickly, it was Li Qianyuan, the colleague.  There was fear on his face, and he almost fell to the ground several times.??He came to Wang Yuanya quickly.  Before Wang Yuanya could say anything, Li Qianyuan said loudly: Sir, a group of people are coming outside, and we are already surrounded here!  "
