Du Yingxi's military order has been issued, ordering Cao Fengnian to immediately release the imprisoned students.
Although Cao Fengnian was extremely reluctant, he could not openly disobey the governor's order, so he had to let him go.
But as a result, he became even more hostile to Wu Wendao, and the relationship between the general military yamen and the prefect yamen was like fire and water.
After Li Qian and other student members were released, they were still not satisfied.
They knelt down in front of the magistrate's office again and asked the magistrate to make the decision for them and send troops to attack the Tatars.
Wu Wendao almost fainted from anger.
If he could mobilize troops and horses, would he still need to write to the governor?
It is impossible to order Cao Fengnian to attack now.
Being able to defend Yunyang Mansion is the greatest victory.
He had no choice but to come forward to appease the students and told them that the time had not come yet.
When the time comes, the Tatars will surely pay for their debt with blood.
But for some reason, as soon as the heroic words were spoken, news came that the army led by Wu Sangui was coming towards Yunxian County, where Yunyang Prefecture ruled.
Wu Wendao was frightened to death when he heard the news.
What's going on?
Haven't the Tatars been plundering around Yunyang Mansion?
How could they want to take advantage of the city?
His mood immediately became tense.
The most terrible thing is that he has to rely on the commander-in-chief Cao Fengnian in the face of a powerful enemy.
Cao Fengnian has just had such a big quarrel with him.
Is Cao Fengnian willing to sincerely help him?
It's really embarrassing to do this.
At the same time, Cao Fengnian in the General Military Mansion was secretly happy.
Wu Wendao, Wu Wendao, there will be times when you fall into my hands.
Now that the Tatar army is about to attack the city, who else can you rely on if you don’t rely on me?
I want to see how long you, old dog, can be so proud.
Of course, even now Cao Fengnian has never thought of surrendering to the Tartars.
Warriors have the pride of warriors, but if everyone were like that thief Wu Sangui, they would lose all their pride.
However, Cao Fengnian decided to give Wu Wendao a good start and let him know the consequences of bullying a general.
Wu Wendao personally sent people to invite him three times, but Cao Fengnian refused to go because he was ill.
Wu Wendao's face turned green with anger.
This damn Qiu Ba, knowing that he is being manipulated and acting like this is really disgusting.
But no matter how disgusted Wu Wendao was towards Cao Fengnian, he still had to keep his head down.
Aren’t you putting on airs?
I’ve gone to the head office in person to invite you, right?
Wu Wendao changed into a crimson official robe, and surrounded by his followers, he marched toward the General Military Mansion.
The soldiers on duty in front of the gate of the General Military Mansion were also frightened when they saw this battle, and hurriedly went to report it.
Wu Wendao had to stand at the gate and wait.
After a cup of tea, the soldier left and returned, but he brought a reply that made Wu Wendao vomit blood.
"The Chief Soldier is ill and cannot see guests.
Magistrate Wu, please come back."
OK, OK What a strong-willed and unyielding commander-in-chief of Yunyang Mansion.
Are you deliberately trying to feel sorry for me?
"Hmph, let's go" There is no place for Wu Wendao's old face.
Unwilling to be humiliated, he waved his sleeves and walked away.
After returning to the magistrate's office, Wu Wendao was worried.

He suddenly felt like he was trapped in a cocoon.
The Ming Dynasty had different definitions of the responsibilities of civil servants and military generals in guarding the territory.
For civil servants, it is their responsibility to defend the territory and there is nothing to discuss.
If a city loses its land and is destroyed, the first person to be held accountable must be the civil servants.
If the city of Yunyang was destroyed, even if Wu Wendao escaped by chance, he would definitely be captured and taken back to Nanjing by the imperial cavalry sent by the emperor, and there would be no way he could escape the decapitating blow.
And if you are a military general, as long as you fight hard to defend yourself against the enemy, even if you are defeated, you can still make meritorious service, and at least your life will be safe.
This dead Qiu Ba wouldn't deliberately allow the Tatars to attack Yunyang City just because of his rift with him.
He would act like a dead man.
Wu Wendao felt his scalp numb when he thought of this.
That's it, that's it.
Thinking about these useless things now is just disturbing yourself.
He can't really bow to a Qiu Ba, right?
After some rest, Wu Sangui has returned to his original posture.
In his opinion, as long as he captured Yunyang and made some noise, the Qing court would be able to answer the question.
At first, he did not plan to storm the city, but only planned to plunder the villages along the way.
But after seeing the Ming army's cowering posture, he changed his mind.
If he didn't attack the city in the face of such a gesture, wouldn't he lose his reputation as the most powerful general in the Qing Dynasty?
So Wu Sangui waved his hand and led his troops to attack Yunyang.
He had been in Yunyang Mansion for a while, so he quickly made some siege equipment.
Car crashes, ladders and even simple catapults are all available.
Of course, what Wu Sangui wants most is the red cannon.
This thing is a magic weapon for city siege.
Just aim at the top of the city and blast it hard.
It won't be long before the crenellations and towers on top of the city are leveled, and the city gates may even be blasted open.
But now the red cannons of the Qing army are concentrated in Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's Tianyou Army.
Even Wu Sangui doesn't have that much face to ask for.
Therefore, he could only make do with some local methods to attack the city.
This method is a bit clumsy, but as long as you persist, you can still attack the city.
Wu Sangui is very confident in himself.
Looking at the dark Qing army outside the city, Wu Wendao felt that his eyes were black and his calves were a little weak.
Oh my god, Wu Sangui has mobilized all the main forces.
The only thing that made him feel somewhat relieved was that it seemed that Cao Fengnian had no intention of playing himself to death.
The Yunyang general soldier was still measured when the enemy was facing him.
He climbed to the top of the city "while sick" and personally directed the defense.
It's just that Cao Fengnian had no communication with Wu Wendao throughout the whole process.
After Li Qian and other student members of the government learned that Wu Sangui was going to attack Yunyang City, they petitioned Wu Wendao and asked to go to the top of the city to help in the battle, but Wu Wendao refused without hesitation.
At this moment, he was so confused that he was not in the mood to let a bunch of helpless scholars climb to the top of the city to watch the battle.
When the time comes for them to fight, not only will these scholars not be able to help kill the enemy, they will most likely become a burden.
Although Li Qian and others were frustrated about this, there was nothing they could do.
The sound of golden drums gradually sounded outside the city, and the war was about to break out.
Finally, amid the low sound of conch trumpets, the Qing troops under Wu Sangui surged towards the city wall like a tide.
Wu Wendao had never seen such a battle before, and his legs were so frightened that they became weak.
He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he held it in for a while before he cleared his throat and said, "I will go to the tower to watch the battle first."
The Qing army's attack was very layered.
It first used catapults to suppress fire on the city head, and at the same time, rams and ladders approached the city wall.

Both the car and the ladder are covered with a thick layer of cowhide, so ordinary arrows cannot damage them at all.
Cao Fengnian, who was on top of the city, was not in a hurry and watched all this quietly
