The Qing army took the opportunity to launch one round of offensive after another.
They found that the city of Chengdu, which was heavily defended by the Western Army, was no more than that.
There are too many loopholes to exploit, too many flaws to break through.
Facing the fierce offensive of the Qing army, the Western army at the head of the city seemed overwhelmed and at a loss.
The rolling logs and stones prepared at the top of the city are very limited, and they cannot be effectively replenished after they are used up.
Zhang Kewang had no choice but to let the soldiers press towards the crenel, relying on the terrain advantage to suppress the momentum of the Qing army.
It's just that the Qing army seems to be very energetic, as if it is sure to defeat the Western army.
No matter how the Western soldiers suppress it, the Qing army's vanguard will always continue to fight back.
Damn it Zhang Kewang felt something was wrong.
When they were in Baoning, the Qing army also launched a siege, but they relied on blowing up the city walls to swarm in.
Zhang Kewang has never seen such an attack on a city relying on a large number of people like today.
The biggest disadvantage of ant siege is that it consumes a lot of money.
Personal injuries are also unpredictable.
But the Qing army seemed not to care about these losses at all, and was determined to capture Chengdu.
This is absolutely terrible.
Zhang Kewang felt that his back molars were itching with hatred.
If Zhang Dingguo was in Chengdu now, the Qing army would not dare to attack so blatantly.
This is deceiving him because he has no one in his hands.
Zhang Kewang is indeed facing the embarrassing situation of having no one available.
There are quite a few generals under his command, but most of them are mediocre people.
It may be okay to let them fight with the wind, but it is unrealistic to expect them to turn the tide.
But now if he didn't fight, he would be waiting to die.
Zhang Kewang didn't think he had such good luck to escape and ascend to heaven again.
So we must grit our teeth and fight on.
Maybe Zhang Dingguo has already led his troops to the vicinity of Chengdu.
Maybe they can hold out for another day and a half and Zhang Dingguo's reinforcements will arrive.
How will you know if it doesn't work if you don't try?
Zhang Kewang took a deep breath and used all his strength to continue beating the drum to cheer up the soldiers.
"Kill kill kill"
The sound of killing was loud, and the Western army relied on their momentum to drive back the advancing Qing army vanguard.
"Mr.
Hong, Benbeile sees that the situation is very stalemate.
Are you really sure that you can win Chengdu within three hours?"
Of course Bolo has great trust in Hong Chengchou, but looking at the current situation, neither side can say that they have the advantage on the scene.
If this situation continues to develop, it will be very detrimental to the Qing army.
After all, the Western Army is fighting on home soil and has zero supply lines.
The Qing army carried very limited supplies of food and grass for the accompanying troops.
If they could not fight quickly, they would probably be killed.
Moreover, Zhang Dingguo's reinforcements may arrive at any time.
At that time, the Qing army is likely to be attacked from both front and rear.
Although the Eight Banners cavalry are invincible and not afraid of any enemy, Bolo does not want to put himself in danger.
"Don't worry, Master Beile.
I have already made plans.
Even though the Western bandits are fighting fiercely now, it won't be long before they can't hold on any longer."
Hong Chengchou's grasp of people's hearts has reached an extreme level, which is far beyond what a young man like Bolo can compare with.

He knew very well that Zhang Kewang was in despair at the moment, and he was just fighting a trapped beast.
What the Qing army has to do is to launch attacks one after another according to the plan, until Zhang Kewang can no longer hold on and collapses, and the Qing army can take advantage of the situation to capture Chengdu.
Moreover, the people in the city can also create chaos and create obstacles for the Western Army.
The Western Army needs to deal with foreign wars and internal strife at the same time.
How can it be undefeated?
"That's good.
Ben Beile naturally trusts Mr.
Hong.
Just go ahead and do it."
Bolo is still very self-aware.
He knew that his ability was not enough to command an army of tens of thousands of people.
Instead of a layman giving advice to an expert, it would be better to let professionals do professional things.
Anyway, he, the general who conquered the West, must have had the greatest credit for winning the war.
The four gates of Chengdu are facing great pressure.
The people went crazy and launched rounds of attacks on the city gate.
Although Zhang Kewang sent troops to suppress them, they could only suppress them for a while.
The east city gate was finally overwhelmed and knocked open.
This was like the straw that broke the camel's back, causing the mentality of the Western soldiers to completely collapse.
Hong Chengchou naturally discovered this at the first time and quickly dispatched the main force of the Eight Banners to attack the east gate.
Seeing the Eight Banners Army rushing towards them with great momentum, the Western Army soldiers were stunned for a moment, but then they bravely charged forward.
They desperately tried to block the gap, but how could the improvised infantry array stop the galloping cavalry.
The Eight Banners Army broke through the gap with just one charge, smashing the Western Army's formation into pieces.
Zhang Kewang had to dispatch more soldiers to the east gate to block the Qing army's advance, but this further weakened the troops at the top of the city.
The Qing soldiers who climbed up the ladder took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold at the top of the city.
Space is the most critical in siege warfare.
The more space you occupy, the more space the enemy loses.
If the siege party does not have enough space to gain a foothold at the top of the city, it is impossible to win the battle.
But the current situation is that the Qing army continues to encroach on the space that belongs to the Western Army.
There are more and more Qing soldiers on the city, and the Western Army soldiers are forced to retreat.
The scene became extremely embarrassing for a time.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?
You should make a decision early on."
Zhang Kewang was already despairing at this moment.
The soldiers reminded him for a long time but there was still no response.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" The soldiers knelt on the ground and begged Zhang Kewang to find a way.
Now the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Western Army depend on Zhang Kewang's thoughts.
"What can I do?
What can I do?"
Zhang Kewang shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Heaven is going to destroy Daxi, God is going to destroy Daxi."
Zhang Kewang knew very well that it would be meaningless even if he temporarily held the city head.
Now that the Qing cavalry has rushed into the city, several other city gates will soon be opened.
At that time, they no longer even need to fight for control of the city.
They only need to swarm into the urn to capture the turtles and trap all the Western troops to death.
"Your Majesty, how about we escape?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will escort you out of the city."

Zhang Kewang smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Even if we can really break through, where can we escape to?"
The reason why Zhang Kewang was determined to break out of the encirclement when he was in Baoning was that he knew that he could still escape to Chengdu to regroup and fight the Qing army again.
But the current situation is that the Qing army is about to capture Chengdu.
This is the largest stronghold of the Daxi Army in Sichuan.
Even Chengdu is gone, where can he escape to?
Jianchang?
How could a remote and remote place like Jianchang be able to support an army of tens of thousands?
Zhang Kewang felt like his heart was twisting in a knife.
After a difficult ideological struggle, Zhang Kewang finally made up his mind.
He wasn't going to run away, he was going to surrender
