The tunnel was finally dug.
A stone hanging in Li Dingguo's heart fell to the ground.
It was too risky to transport troops to Hanzhong City immediately now.
Li Dingguo decided to wait and cooperate with Zeng Ying's frontal attack to attack again, which would be much more effective.
The Tatars are now at the end of their game and are just holding on.
All they need is a reason for their failure.
Li Dingguo and Zeng Ying agreed on a time to launch a general offensive one day later.
Zeng Ying also readily agreed.
He didn't want this battle to continue.
The soldiers are already feeling tired.
Although they have not yet reached the point of emotional collapse, they may develop in this direction at any time.
A quick victory and winning Hanzhong as soon as possible are the issues that need to be considered at the moment.
The night seemed very long, and Li Dingguo naturally didn't sleep well.
There were many things for him to consider, and he wanted to consider all possibilities as much as possible.
He didn't fall asleep until late at night, and woke up after sleeping for two or three hours.
When the morning light faded, Zeng Ying launched a fierce attack on Hanzhong City.
This time he was no longer alone.
There are also helpers such as Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu beside him.
Both of them are good at leading troops and have rich experience in siege.
The most important thing is that they can bring the soldiers that Zeng Ying needs most now, that is, combat power.
The golden drums beat together, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The Qing army in Hanzhong City was completely confused.
The Ming army had successively attacked Hanzhong City in the past ten days, but it had never been so brave.
Judging from their behavior today, they must have taken Dali Pills.
Of course the battle still has to be fought.
Under the command of Shang Kexi, they actively responded to the challenge.
Defending the city is nothing more than relying on the old man.
Rolling logs and rocks were already prepared and were thrown at the city without stopping.
The tung oil also boiled and smoked.
As for the arrows, they were flying all over the sky like swarms of locusts.
At least they never showed weakness in terms of momentum.
Shang Kexi is now determined by the weight and will hold on to the end.
I have been guarding for so many days and if I give up now, all my efforts will be wasted.
Besides, the reinforcements from Guanzhong are definitely on the way, they just need to bite the bullet and hold on.
Since ancient times, wars have been brutal.
Therefore, Shang Kexi did not care about the loss of soldiers at all.
As long as Hanzhong City can be saved, no matter how much troops are lost, it is worth it.
Shang Kexi even beat the drum himself on the top of the city to cheer up the soldiers.
He knew that at this point in the battle, both sides were fighting for their breath.
Whoever can hold on to this will be the final winner.
"Let's get started."
Li Dingguo took a deep breath and issued the order.
It was obvious that Zeng Ying had launched a fierce attack from the front.
This is the best time for Li Dingguo to perform.
If we don’t update at this time, when will we wait?

The soldiers were already in position, waiting for Li Dingguo's words.
They all dived into the tunnel and hunched forward to touch.
It's dark in the tunnel, but it doesn't matter.
They are already mentally prepared.
Although the speed is not fast, it is very stable.
At this speed, it won't take long for the leading army to sneak into the city.
At this moment, the Tatars must know nothing about the Ming army's surprise attack.
They were so busy dealing with Zeng Ying's onslaught that they could not be distracted from thinking about these issues.
Li Dingguo is very confident about this battle.
In his opinion, the victory of the Ming army is certain, it just depends on the price paid.
The purpose of digging a tunnel and making a surprise attack from the back is to minimize this cost.
Retaking Hanzhong is just the beginning.
At this point, the Ming army will shift from defense to attack, while the Tatars can only be passively beaten.
Shang Kexi, who was on top of the city, had red eyes and a hoarse voice.
He felt like he was going to pass out.
The Ming army's offensive was too fierce.
Several times he thought he couldn't hold on anymore, but in the end he managed to hold on.
I have to say that the Ming army has changed a lot in recent years.
Is this still the weak Ming army in his impression, who only dared to run away when encountering the Qing army?
Why does it seem like they were changed between the Ming and Qing Dynasties?
At this moment, Shang Kexi wants to take a rest.
But he knew he couldn't rest.
Because once I stop, I'm afraid I won't be able to tighten the string again.
The Ming army put tremendous pressure on him like Mount Tai, and he felt inexplicably panicked even if he took a breath.
"hiss" Shang Kexi took a long breath.
The Ming army had already made a battering ram and was rushing towards the city gate.
Although all the gates in Hanzhong City had been blocked by his order, he was still a little nervous.
The only good thing is that the Ming army seems to have given up on the idea of digging tunnels.
As long as the tactic of bombing the city with coffins is not used, Shang Kexi believes that Hanzhong City can still be defended.
"If you work harder, please give me more strength.
Drive away the bright dog, and I will reward you with five taels of silver."
Shang Kexi did not hesitate to reward him heavily in order to boost his morale.
Money is no longer so important to him.
He has plenty of money, but he has to have the life to spend it.
If Hanzhong cannot be defended, the silver will also fall into the hands of the Ming army.
It is better to reward the soldiers with this silver so that they can have enough fighting spirit.
Sometimes the fight on the battlefield is just one breath.
When it comes to combat skills, no one is better than anyone else.
"Quickly, send more manpower to the West City.
The place is about to be overwhelmed."
Shang Kexi was in charge of dispatching troops and dispatching generals urgently.
The Ming army is trying to build a ladder to charge.
This is naturally unacceptable to Shang Kexi.
The Ming army once climbed to the top of the city, but they were all suppressed by his troops.
No matter what, he wants to control the city and must not change hands.

The soldiers of the Qing army also knew that this was the final bottom line, so they fought very hard.
Once the city head is lost, the entire Hanzhong City will fall quickly.
Hanzhong is a big city and there are many places that need to be defended.
Fortunately, the Qing army had enough troops to cover every corner of the city.
Although the Ming army's charge was brave, it was always blocked by the Qing army at every critical moment, and it was difficult for the momentum to soar to the sky.
But the Qing army was also very tired.
This feeling of long-term nervous tension is very excruciating, and they don't know how long they can last.
If I can't hold it tight, will I plummet?
They dare not think about it.
In order to help out, Shang Kexi ordered the artillery fire.
Although it is difficult for artillery to pose a threat to the Ming army at this distance, Shang Kexi still has a little illusion and luck.
Besides, no matter how hard it is, the cannons can still be heard, and it is also good to cheer up.
However, the Ming army was obviously not affected by the sound of artillery, and still carried out the attack in an orderly manner and at its own pace.
They even used small artillery to fight back against the Qing troops at the top of the city.
Although it was difficult to destroy the tower, many of the crenellations were still shattered.
The scene was very tense and chaotic for a while, and the smell of blood was everywhere.
Broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground, and corpses were piled up like mountains.
The entire Hanzhong battlefield was like a Shura hell
