Seeing the Qing army retreat, Wu Changqing regretted it. He had known that these Qing army were so afraid of death, so he didn't order the moat to be dug through again.

Now that the Qing army dare not even attack, he has no chance to destroy Liu Liangzuo's vitality.

"We can only wait for Wu Yi's good news."

Wu Changqing vomited.

Wu Yi's troops had quietly left the city last night and headed to Taihu Lake.

For two days, the Qing army remained silent.

Until the third day, Liu Liangzuo's troops came to Suzhou again. In addition to his soldiers, there are more than 3,000 more civilians in the army.

Under the supervision of the soldiers, these people carried sandbags and walked towards the moat.

"mean."

Wang Dafu in the city cursed, this trick to drive the people is too poisonous. Shoot it, you will be scolded by the world. Don't shoot, then you can only watch the moat be filled.

"Ready to shoot."

Wang Dafu ordered that he would rather be scolded by the world and would not allow the Qing army to fill the moat like this.

"Wait, it's all people, forget it."

Wu Changqing quickly stopped.

Of course, he is not overwhelmed by the heart of the Virgin. Although he does sympathize with these people, he will never be merciless in order to win.

It's just that he now has confidence in defending the city, so naturally there is no need to do so absolutely.

Allow these people to fill the moat, give them a way to survive, and win a good reputation of loving the people like their children.

"General, you can't be merciful at this time."

Liu Hansan hurriedly persuaded that, as the saying goes, people who are kind and do not take control of soldiers, a soft-hearted person cannot become a general. If you don’t shoot now, will the Qing army drive the people to attack the city later?

"I have decided, no need to say more. Just fill in the river. If the Qing army drives the people too much to attack the city, then do it again."

Wu Changqing said.

Hearing Wu Changqing's decision, the soldiers at the head of the city felt mixed. He admired Wu Changqing's character of loving the people like a child, but also worried that this would increase his own casualties.

Wu Changqing's decision made Liu Liangzuo and the others stunned. They never thought that Wu Changqing would not stop it.

They are not the first people to do things like cannon fodder, and there have been many examples of this kind throughout the ages. When the defending party encountered such a thing, it was no accident that they would shoot and kill.

Liu Liangzuo took these people into captivity in order to fill the moat with their lives. He never expected Wu Changqing to give up because he couldn't bear to kill the people.

At this moment, Liu Liangzuo felt ashamed.

Compared with Wu Changqing, he is the more despicable one.

"Great general, so that we can drive the people to the front, which can greatly reduce our casualties."

Xue Guiren was overjoyed when he saw this scene and thought he had found Wu Changqing's weakness.

"Fart, the rebels would rather have the moat filled up than have the heart to kill the people. We still have the face to force the people to attack the city. This is a soldier's battle and should not involve the people."

Dong Tianbao sprayed directly, and he was very dissatisfied with Xue Guiren's cold blood. Last time Xue Guiren suggested killing wounded soldiers, but now he doesn't treat the people as human beings.

Wu Changqing's behavior of caring for the people made him admire, he really has no face to use the people anymore.

"Dong Tianbao, what do you mean? I don't want to have fewer dead men. Since you object, let your people take the lead."

Xue Guiren snorted coldly.

"Shut up, let the people go after they fill up the moat."

In the end, Liu Liangzuo still had a conscience and did not use the most extreme method.

The moat was filled, and the people responsible for filling the river couldn't help crying. There were even some people kneeling in the direction of Suzhou City, yelling to thank the general for not killing.

They were terrified at first, because in the past battles, most of the people responsible for filling the river would die.

But there is no way to be afraid. If you don't follow the order, you will be beheaded by the Qing army's supervising team, 100% to death.

In desperation, they could only shed tears of grievance, and walked with anxious feet.

What they never expected was that the city's defenders did not attack and let them fill the river.

This kind of action moved all these people.

The people retreated, and the Qing army began to act.

This time their preparations were much better than last time. Not only did they have a siege ladder, they also made five storks. These buildings are more than six meters high, as high as the city walls of Suzhou.

As long as these stair carts are close to the city wall, the soldiers on the stair carts can jump directly onto the city wall to fight, eliminating the difficult process of climbing the wall.

It is Dong Tianbao's Ministry who is in charge of the first battle, with more than 5,000 people, densely approaching the city wall.

"The cannon is aimed at the upstairs car."

At present, Wu Changqing has only three cannons, two of which are small-caliber Thunder cannons, and one is a red cannon weighing three thousand kilograms.

The artillery did not play any role in the previous city defense battle, but now they have taken on the task of attacking the car. As long as they can destroy one or two locomotives, these cannons have played their due role.

The artillery sounded immediately, but unfortunately there were no hits in the first round of shelling, and all of them were missed. The hit rate of cannons in this era is about the same as that of firecrackers.

Fortunately, the siege troops of the Qing army were very dense. Although they didn't hit the middle building, they also killed several Qing troops.

Subsequently, the Qing army also fired artillery, and the two sides began to bombard.

However, both sides have few artillery, unable to become the protagonist in the battlefield.

As the Qing army entered the range of the firecrackers, the firecrackers on the city wall began a salvo.

There was another familiar gunshot, and the Qing army charged while shaking.

Soon, they rushed under the wall, but this was just the beginning of the nightmare.

The second round of the fire guns is coming. This distance is useless even if you hide behind the wooden shield. The fire guns are powerful enough to penetrate the wooden shield.

After the fire blast, the grenade began to greet again.

The Qing army has killed and injured hundreds of people after this combination of recruits.

After that, the Qing army began to climb towards the city wall, and the Ming army soldiers who defended the city began to pour boiling tung oil and boulders under the danger of being shot by bows and arrows.

Without the support of a locomotive, it is very difficult to climb the city wall just by climbing one soldier at a time with a ladder.

What's more, the Qing army threw grenades down the city from time to time, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers under the city.

"General, it's no way to go on like this, brothers can't stand it anymore."

Dong Tianbao, who was already in command on the front line, got the report from his subordinates, and his heart was bleeding. These are all his soldiers, the one who died will be one less.

"Hold on for a while, and the car will arrive immediately. Finally, another wave will be attacked, and then it will be handed over to reinforcements."

Dong Tianbao said.

The locomotive is their hope. If the soldiers on the locomotive can rush to the city wall, the soldiers behind can continuously get on the locomotive.
