Xie Guang's concerns were correct. The Qing army outside the city did not give Huai'an more time to prepare, especially Du Ping, who returned to Huai'an with anger and took revenge. When he arrived with the vanguard, he immediately began to prepare for the attack. Once he was ready, the main force of the Qing army also arrived.

"Get into Huai'an City and avenge General Du!"

"Avenge General Du! Kill and kill!"

With the deafening shouts of killing, the Qing army finally began to attack the city. These Qing army were originally troops stationed in Huai'an and knew the city defense of Huai'an City well. From the beginning of the siege, the Qing army began to launch a fierce attack on all weak areas of the city defense. In addition, Du Ping was not afraid of death and personally led his troops to rush forward, which greatly boosted his morale.

The so-called "worry soldiers will win" is roughly the case. As the Qing army's attack unfolded, the defenders at the top of Huai'an city also mustered up the courage to fight back. It has to be said that the power of the silver is still good. Under the temptation of a lot of money, these defenders almost exerted 300% of their courage, which was equal to the attacking Qing army for a moment.

But after all, the Qing army was a regular elite, and most of the people defending Huai'an were mobs. In terms of number of people, Huai'an was not the only one. In just over half an hour, the defenders of Huai'an gradually couldn't bear it anymore, especially when they watched the flesh and blood flying around them and the familiar brothers fell down, their fear gradually surged into their hearts by the silver.

Silver is a good thing, and this official hat is even more desirable, but you have to have life to enjoy it. Once you lose your life, everything will be a bubble. When you find that the Qing army attacking is not a soft-legged crab, but a vicious life-seeking ghost, you have tried to fight for a thug of origin and wealth before and suddenly panic. Some timid guys even threw down their weapons, shouted and turned around and ran away, trying to escape from this place as regionally.

"Kill!" Du Ping waved the big knife in his hand, separated the two spears that rushed towards him, and supported his left hand hard at the top of the city, and flew up to the city wall. Then he roared wide, frightening the defenders surrounding him so much that he subconsciously took a step back. Then he thrust his body forward, and the sword light flashed, chopping down the two defenders in a row.

Seeing Du Ping so fiercely, the defenders on the city were even more panicked. The Qing army took this opportunity to rush up to the city from the gap one after another. Seeing that the city was about to be captured, dozens of Jinyiwei rushed over. Seeing this, a hundred households saw that they first cut down several deserters, and then shouted: "Those who retreated died, those who advance lived! Brothers, follow me to kill!"

For a moment, there was a melee at the top of the city, with swords and swords flying everywhere, and screams came one after another. Because these Jinyiwei men arrived in time, they stopped the collapse of the front line as soon as possible. With the assistance of Jinyiwei, the defenders finally stabilized their positions and slowly regained their disadvantages.

Although the Qing army's strength was stronger than that of the Huai'an defenders, it was a siege battle after all. Du Ping rushed to the city and followed him to climb. If he could break through the defense in one go and then slowly stabilize the position, he might be able to take the city.

Unfortunately, the Jinyiwei's reaction was too fast. He had just gained the upper hand and was rushed by the Jinyiwei who had arrived before he could expand the territory of the city. This time, his advantage was quickly lost. Moreover, with the help of the Jinyiwei, the mobs gradually stopped the escape and instead killed them back, with one rising and the other falling, and the power balance began to shift. It was the Qing army that climbed to the city and could no longer support it.

If they were fighting on the plains, the people of the Jinyiwei might not have the ability to fight formally, but in such melee as the city wall, the combat power of these Jinyiwei who were proficient in martial arts and well-equipped Jinyiwei cannot be ignored. What's more serious is that many of these Jinyiwei even brought short muskets. Before rushing up, they first pulled out muskets and put them in a mess at the broken gap, and instantly shot several Qing troops, and even Du Ping was almost shot.

Subsequently, the Jinyiwei men were all extremely brave. Although Du Ping was extremely brave, he was slightly injured under the attack of two or three Jinyiwei men. Seeing that things were not done, Du Ping had no choice but to order to retreat. He fought and retreated. When he retreated to the city wall, he first cut off the weapons of the Jinyiwei men on the left, and then threw the knife forward. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the enemy in front, he turned over and crossed the city wall. Then he used his hands and feet together, and slid down the ladder outside.

When the remaining Qing army at the top of the city was wiped out, the Baihu, the Jinyi family, was relieved. At this time, he was covered in blood and had some minor injuries on his left arm. After counting the losses, not only more than a hundred people were killed or injured in the defenders at the top of the city, but even nine of his subordinates were killed. As for the others, almost all of them were injured.

"Sweep the battlefield and be careful!" Jinyi Baihu ordered with a calm face. The officer in charge of this area was a Qianzong of the General Manager of Heshou. When the front collapsed before, although he led people to fight to death to save him, he was powerless. If Jinyi Baihu had not come to help, he would have become a dead soul under Du Ping's sword.

"Sir, these people are really useless. Can you transfer some brothers to low-ranking positions?" Mr. Qian first thanked the Jinyi Baihu with gratitude, and then begged in a low voice.

Jinyi Baihu was just about to refuse. After all, he didn't have many people, and the city defense was not just this area. If there was another crisis, he had to rely on him to block the gap everywhere. But looking around, although he was winning, he felt sad. At the same time, with the rabble of fear, he looked at the dark Qing army under the city, and said for a moment: "I will leave ten people for you to serve as a supervisor team. If there is any crisis, I will definitely come to help, how about it?"

"I thank you for your humble job!" Mr. Qian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were not many people, these ten Jinyiwei could be used as dozens of people. In addition, the other party had promised to come to help, which was very good. Besides, Mr. Qian also knew that although the Jinyiwei was powerful, the number of people was not large. If these people were left to him, he would be taken care of by the Jinyihun households.

The Qing army's first siege was setback, and soon the second siege began again. The Qing army outside the city also knew that Huai'an's defense was not strong, and from the first siege, it can be seen that except for a small group of elite troops, the rest of the defenders were all mobs.

At this time, the Qing army decided not to give Huai'an any chance to breathe. As long as the attack is increased, the defender will inevitably be unable to withstand it. As long as you occupy the city and make a concerted effort, you can take Huai'an. At that time, two rebels, Heshou and Wen Dong, will be captured alive, and cut off their heads to avenge Du Yuan.

Next, the Qing army's attacks were wave after wave, and Huai'an City was shaking in the attack. The defense of this party was high. Even the Jinyiwei, who was responsible for blocking the gap, suffered heavy casualties. By the afternoon, there was no one available in Xie Guang's hands, and even he himself fought in person, but the Qing army's attack still showed no sign of weakening.
