On the city wall, Li Jiantai and Jiang Xiang both looked melancholy, Gao Huan did not send reinforcements, and there was no movement in Beijing.

Taiyuan, surrounded by the Shun Army, has become an isolated city, and they have also become an isolated army that will surely die.

At this time, the hearts of the two had been shaken long ago, and the gentry and merchants who were already swaying and watching in the city were also panicked.

Now that Taiyuan has been in control for two months, Gao Huan has not made any noise and has not seen a reinforcement. When he arrived near Taiyuan, they completely despaired and wanted to surrender to the Shun Army again.

Recently, there have been people in the city who want to collude with the Shun Army, but Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan for more than two months, and many soldiers of the Shun Army were killed and injured. Li Jiantai and Jiang Xiang had already formed a grudge with Li Zicheng, so the two of them did not allow it.

Li Zicheng had already made harsh words outside the city, and after the city was broken, he asked Li Jiantai and Jiang Xiang to have their heads.

Now the gentry and merchants in the city want to surrender to Li Zicheng, but Li Jiantai and Jiang Xiang gritted their teeth and became Guzhong from Hedong in the Ming Dynasty.

If he could make another choice, Jiang Xiang and Li Jiantai would definitely surrender before Li Zicheng was at the city, becoming the new dynasty's upstarts. They would never listen to Gao Huan's tricks and stick to Taiyuan City.

It's too late to regret it now. Li Jiantai could only sigh and comfort himself and Jiang Xiang, "General Jiang, don't say that to Marquis Jianwu. I believe that Marquis Jianwu is a loyal minister and really wants to save Hedong. But he was blocked by the Yellow River and could not come to support him for a while. After all, he and Li Zicheng had a deep grudge, so he definitely didn't want Li Zicheng to succeed. Let's hold on for another three months, and when the Yellow River freezes, Marquis Jianwu will definitely cross the river to support him."

"Three months!" Jiang Xiang was a little nervous, afraid that Li Zicheng and the officials and gentry in the city would not give them time.

"I will do my best!" Jiang Xiang also sighed.

With this situation, Li Jiantai didn't know what to say, but just instructed: "I'll ask you in Taiyuan City!"

Jiang Xiang nodded slightly, and Li Jiantai went down to the city in depressed.

Jiang Xiang continued to patrol the city.

Due to the lack of reinforcements, the morale of the army in the city was unstable. The gentry and wealthy families were afraid that the city would be destroyed and the Shun army would massacre the city, so they tried to contact the Shun army outside the city.

In recent days, Jiang Xiang has arrested many people, but it still continues to ban it.

The night before yesterday? What happened even more? The Shanxi governor Wei Zaode secretly opened the city and wanted to let Shun's army enter the city.

According to historical development? Wei Zaode should have entered the Beijing cabinet? He became the last member of the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Because Zhou Yanru was not dead, he became the governor of Shanxi? But as before, seeing that the situation was wrong, he wanted to surrender to Li Zicheng.

This made Jiang Xiang and Li Jiantai furious? This guy opened the door privately and wanted to surrender to Li Zicheng without discussing with them, which was equivalent to putting them to death in disguise.

In a furious manner, Li Jiantai threw Wei Zaode into prison and cleaned up.

But this incident? Although it was discovered in time, it also made Jiang Xiang feel very uneasy.

This made him dare not relax and could only strengthen his defense in case others betrayal.

At this time, Jiang Xiang inspected a section of the city wall? Suddenly, he found a group of soldiers gathered in one place, talking in a low voice.

Jiang Xiang walked behind? Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice? "Oh no, the coach is here!"

Jiang Xiang was suspicious recently? His ears were so sharp? Hearing the words of the soldiers? He immediately felt his heart and scolded him sternly, "What are you looking at?"

A group of Datong generals quickly dispersed, and the leaders hurriedly denied: "No~ nothing!"

Jiang Xiang frowned and saw a hundred households with his hands behind him. He immediately strode forward, staring at the hundred households with a gloomy eyes, who bowed his head guiltily.

"Take it out!" Jiang Xiang stretched out his hand, his voice majestic, unquestionable.

The hundred households knelt down, "The Grand Marshal is a letter outside the city. The last general was afraid that the Grand Marshal would get angry, so he did not dare to hand over it!"

Jiang Xiang grabbed the letter and opened it and felt as if he was struck by lightning.

The letter was written by Li Zicheng's prime minister Niu Jinxing, but the content was different from before. In the past, he used to surrender him and Li Jiantai, but now he encouraged the defenders in the city to kill him and Li Jiantai and then surrender.

In addition to the order, the letter also mentioned a major news, that is, the Shun Army had divided its troops to capture Datong, the Shun Army swept north of Shanxi, and defeated the prefectures. The famous general Zhou Yuji died in a fierce battle, and the Shun Army slaughtered Ningwu, and the infants and young people were left behind.

This news shocked Jiang Xiang very much and felt scared inside.

If the Shun Army conquered Daizhou, Datong might not be protected. If Datong was lost, the soldiers in Taiyuan City would definitely be shaken.

After reading it, Jiang Xiang tore the letter apart in anger, and then said to everyone: "This is a move of treacherous rioters to disrupt our morale. Datong is as solid as a god, and there will be no trouble. Everyone can defend the city with peace of mind!"

The defenders on the city were as quiet as a cicada, bowing their heads without saying a word.

The soldiers are all rough people, not so much scheming, and they have any worries written on their faces.

This made Jiang Xiang frightened. The officials and gentry and wealthy families in the city were unstable. If he wanted to surrender, he could still suppress it. If his subordinates had this idea, it would be terrible to sell him for wealth.

After all, Niu Jinxing said that as long as he and Li Jiantai were killed, he would be rewarded by Li Zicheng.

Yesterday, the Shanxi governor Wei Zaode wanted to open the city to surrender, which made everyone know about it. Rumors spread everywhere in the city and people's hearts were floating.

Now there is another news that Zhou Yuji died in battle, Shunjun defeated Ningwu, and killed Xiang Datong. The Datong army's nest was threatened, causing the morale to shake, and the city was afraid it would be difficult to defend.

"If you send the order, the letters from outside the city will be confiscated and destroyed immediately. Who dares to check them privately and disrupt our army's morale and will be executed immediately!" Jiang Xiang pressed the knife and shouted with a gloomy face.

The generals and schoolmen in the city lowered their heads, and when Jiang Xiang left, they gathered together again, whispering, worried about Datong's family and family resources.

Jiang Xiang pretended to be calm and patroled for a while, then hurried down to the city and returned to the festival hall, and ordered his confidant to closely monitor the movements of the defenders.

A few days later, early in the morning.

The rebel army, which had been quiet for a while, gathered under the city again and prepared to launch a new attack.

After a while, the sun came out, and tens of thousands of Shun troops were arranged in formation according to their duties.

At this time, Li Zicheng stationed under the Daqian Banner, with swords and guns around him, flags and clouds, and various siege equipment standing tall.

Li Zicheng glanced at the city wall with a sinister gaze, snorted and waved his hand.

Liu Fangliang understood and turned his head to give an order. Then he saw the soldiers of Shun Army escorting out a team of prisoners and coming to the front of the army.

The soldiers of the rebel army immediately shouted loudly, and asked the captives to shout to the city, asking the soldiers in the city to open the city and surrender.

When the defenders on the city heard the sound, they were the local accent of northern Jin. What's more, they even identified that they all had their own family members.

The Shun Army led the Datong Army's family captured in northern Shanxi to the city of Taiyuan, and ordered the will of the defenders to gradually collapse.

For a moment, the defenders on the city suddenly had a commotion, and Jiang Xiang's expression changed instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this time, some of the defenders on the city were anxiously talking, some cried bitterly, and some kept glancing at Jiang Xiang.

This made Jiang Xiang very frightened and couldn't help but hold the hilt tightly. At this moment, Li Jiantai hurried over and climbed the city wall.

"General Jiang, what's the situation?" Li Jiantai asked anxiously.

Jiang Xiang's muscles twitched on his face, but suddenly drew his sword, and a white light flashed and cut off Li Jiantai's head.

The heads rolled down and blood spurted. The incident happened suddenly, and the people around him did not react for a moment.

At this time, Jiang Xiang raised Li Jiantai's head, raised it high, and suddenly shouted loudly, "The Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, I am the general's rebellion!"

The defenders on the city were silent, and then they immediately cheered.

The officials of the three departments who followed Li Jiantai to the city were all shocked and pale. Only the governor Cai Maode pointed at Jiang Xiang and cursed, "Rebel, you are a thief, you are arbitrarily killing the supervisor, you will not die well!"

Jiang Xiang was furious when he heard the words, "Take it down!"

When Cai Maode saw the soldiers surrounding him, he couldn't help but feel sad and roared towards Beijing, "If you want to kill the thief, you can't turn the world back! Your Majesty, I am loyal!"

After speaking, he pulled out the sword that was about to go up to kill the thief, and died in grief and anger.

Seeing this, the soldiers around couldn't help but hang down their weapons, silently.
