Dream of the Red Chamber: Start by gaining Zhao Yun's martial prowess, and be ennobled in a sin

Feng Ziying slashed down the Qing soldier in front of him with a single stroke and shouted angrily!

"Brothers, cheer up! Send these sons of bitches back to their homeland!" Han Qi roared back, and with a single thrust of his spear, he killed the Qing soldier in front of him.

"Let those damned Tartars know the might of our Han army! Kill the Tartars..."

The remaining thousand or so Han soldiers on the city wall rallied their remaining strength and killed or wounded dozens of Qing soldiers in a short time.

The war reached its climax, with limbs flying everywhere and corpses from both sides constantly falling onto the city walls and being thrown over them.

With the continuous support of the Qing army, the Han army's strength dwindled.

……

Beneath the city wall, just an arrow's throw away, beneath the Qing army's central banner,

A burly middle-aged Qing general, around forty years old, reined in his horse and stood before his troops, his eyes fixed on the battle raging on the city walls.

Behind him stretched an endless line of Qing soldiers in iron armor, silent and still, like a black torrent, exuding an oppressive aura.

"The city of Jinzhou of the Great Han Dynasty has stood for a hundred years. My great emperor launched several military campaigns against it, but failed to conquer it. Now it is time for it to fall!"

"The magnificent Central Plains, a land of prosperity, why should it be monopolized by the cowardly Han people! My Great Qing is the rightful heir to the Mandate of Heaven!"

The middle-aged general gazed at Jinzhou City, his eyes filled with greed and ruthlessness.

This man was none other than Fei Yanggu, the vanguard general of the Qing army and the Grand Minister of the Imperial Guard.

The Qing army of 150,000 men was nominally commanded by the eldest prince, Yinti, but the actual command was in the hands of generals such as Feiyanggu.

Fei Yanggu was a rare general in the Qing army. He defeated 200,000 enemy troops in a single battle against the Khorchin Mongols, making great contributions and earning the appreciation of Emperor Kangxi.

This first battle against the Han Dynasty was also entrusted to him to tackle this tough nut.

"This Jia Jing is only twenty years old and has only fought a few battles, yet he is already highly regarded by the Han army. Now it seems that he is still a bit too green."

"Intensify the siege! Today I will breach Jinzhou and march straight into Han territory. Then you can ride freely for three days..."

Fei Yanggu suddenly waved his hand and shouted.

The 40,000 Qing soldiers behind him were all excited when they heard that they could plunder for three days on horseback.

Amidst the sound of war drums, they charged relentlessly toward the city walls.

At this moment, Qing army deputy general Oktuha had already climbed the city wall.

He was an exceptionally brave and capable man, a renowned fierce general in the Qing army, and was once bestowed the title of Baturu by Emperor Kangxi, demonstrating his extraordinary courage and strength.

At this moment, he was wielding a large sword, constantly reaping the lives of Han soldiers on the city wall, and there was no one in the Han army who could withstand a single blow from him.

"Young Han general, now that you've seen your Grandpa Tuha, why don't you surrender quickly! Do you really want to throw your life away?" Ektuha shouted at Feng Ziying.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to ask me to surrender? Do you dare to fight me?"

At this moment, Feng Ziying was like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, and he charged towards Ektuha, brandishing his long sword.

Although Ektuha was not afraid of Feng Ziying, his first priority at this time was to capture and break through the city, rather than getting entangled with Feng Ziying.

"Haha! Don't worry, Grandpa will come and play with you after the city falls!" Oktuha said, and kept walking down the city wall, clearly wanting to open the city gate and let the Qing army into the city.

Feng Ziying and Han Qi tried to step forward to stop them, but were blocked by the Qing army. They were all furious and roared, but could only watch helplessly as Ektuha came down from the city wall.

Just then, a series of rapid hoofbeats and hurried footsteps came from the South Gate Street.

The sounds of shouts and neighing of horses continued. A white horse led the charge, and a young general with a stern face and a majestic figure, holding a long spear, charged forward first!

"Kill the Tartars!"

A chilling shout echoed across both sides of the city wall.

"The general has arrived!?" A hint of joy flashed in Feng Ziying's and the others' eyes as they shouted sharply:

"Reinforcements have arrived! Everyone hold the city walls, the Tartars' end is nigh..."

Just as Oktuha reached the foot of the city wall and was getting into the heat of battle, he suddenly heard the sound of Han reinforcements arriving. He hurriedly looked towards the street.

In a sudden glance, he saw a young general on a white horse with a silver spear charging straight toward him at an astonishing speed.

"Jia Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Han army!?"

Oktuha was startled. He had heard of Jia Jing's reputation and knew he was no ordinary person.

Although he was not afraid, he did not want to get entangled; capturing the city gate was the top priority at the moment.

But now that they had met on a narrow path, there was nowhere to retreat and no way for him to avoid the battle.

"There's no other way, kill this young general first, then quickly seize the city gate!" Ektuha charged forward, his long sword flashing like a silver light. He used all his strength, wanting only to quickly eliminate Jia Jing.

The two passed each other quickly, a flash of blade light clashing with a striking spear light.

Oktuha turned his head in astonishment, only to feel a sharp pain in his neck; his face was filled with resentment.

A gaping hole the size of a duck egg appeared on his neck, and blood gushed out immediately.

"Kill!" Jia Jing didn't recognize who Ektuha was. After stabbing him to death with his spear, he continued to swing his spear wildly.

In the blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen Qing soldiers below the city wall.

Then he pulled on the reins, jumped off his horse, and charged towards the city wall, followed closely by nearly two thousand elite reinforcements, who continued to attack the panicked Qing army.

Below the central army banner outside the south city,

As Fei Yanggu saw that the city gate was about to be breached, the Qing soldiers who climbed the city walls were repeatedly driven back.

Countless Han soldiers appeared on the city walls again, and siege ladders and other equipment were destroyed by the Han soldiers. For a time, the Qing army was forced to retreat again.

"What's going on? Have the soldiers guarding other city gates come to reinforce the south gate?"

Fei Yanggu's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he asked sharply.

What a rare opportunity to capture the city, how could we have failed again!

Qing troops were also feigning attacks at other city gates. How could they spare troops to come to the rescue?

"It was the Han army commander Jia Jing who brought reinforcements. The number of Han troops at the other city gates has not decreased," a Qing army deputy general, looking rather disheveled from the front lines, replied with a face full of resentment and bitterness.

"You sons of bitches! You've been besieging the city for so many days, and you're still hiding your troops. You're so treacherous..." the Qing soldiers cursed.

"Where is the Oktukha man? Bring him to me!" Feiyangu, however, had calmed down and gave the order again with a composed expression.

"General, Oktuha has been killed by Jia Jing!" the lieutenant replied.

Although Fei Yanggu had guessed this outcome, he still couldn't accept it for the time being.

After all, Ektuha was a famous warrior in the Qing army, a Baturu even Emperor Kangxi knew. He was skilled in martial arts and could fight dozens of armored soldiers without being at a disadvantage. It's a joke that he was defeated on the small city wall of Jinzhou today!

"That wretched Jia Jing! He ruined one of my valiant generals! The day the city falls, I will tear him to pieces to vent my hatred!"

Fei Yanggu's expression turned grim as he shouted sternly.
