His voice fell on deaf ears, without causing any ripples.

"Shoot arrows and fire guns!" Tunqi gave the order.

After a few gunshots and a wave of arrows, more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers fell at the city gate.

Seeing their companions die in front of them, the Eight Banners soldiers at the city gate finally stopped running away.

They looked at Tunqi with even greater horror, not understanding why he wanted to kill his own people.

"I am Tunqi, the Doroberel of the Bordered Blue Banner. Everyone listen to my orders!" Tunqi said again, "Those who are still in the city should form a battle array on the spot, turn around and resist the pursuing Ming army, fighting and retreating at the same time."

The Eight Banners soldiers still in the city realized that they could not escape easily, so they could only turn around and face the Ming army for a final resistance.

They formed a temporary military formation and engaged in a fierce battle with the pursuing Huang Degong's troops.

Tunqi continued to give orders amid the chaos: "Those who are still alive in the city gate should stand up and clear the way. Those who cannot stand up should be pulled away immediately by war horses."

Under Tunqi's command, the city gate was once again open to traffic.

Before the troops could be happy, a scout came to report: "Report to Duolo Baylor, several thousand Ming cavalry are charging towards the north gate!"

"Damn it," Tunqi was very angry, "The Ming army is really lingering around!"

He pointed to the soldiers he had brought and said, "Go up and contain them immediately."

He also ordered the Eight Banners soldiers in the city: "Fight and retreat at the same time, and quickly gather at the city gate!"

Shortly after the order was issued, a stampede occurred again at the city gate.

The people of Tunqi have become numb.

at this time.

The main forces of both sides outside the city began to come into contact.

After the sound of cannon fire, shouts of killing were heard everywhere!

Wu Sangui's 5,000 Guanning cavalry also came to the area around the north gate and fought with the troops brought by Tunqi.

Unlike the stalemate outside the city, the Ming army inside the city had an almost overwhelming advantage.

Huang Degong divided his troops into two.

A part of them climbed up the southern city wall and advanced towards the north city along the east and west walls.

The other part was divided into teams of ten or a hundred people, who chased and hunted down the Eight Banners deserters in the streets of the city.

The Eight Banners soldiers in the city had already been like frightened birds, and were either killed or surrendered on the spot.

But it was too late to surrender.

In the eyes of the Ming army, these surrendered Eight Banners soldiers were simply money delivered to their doorstep.

After disarming and removing their armor, the Ming army raised their knives against these surrendered soldiers.

"Be gentle when you cut off the head, and make sure to keep the Adam's apple."

"Don't destroy the facial features!"

"Ouch," a Ming army general said in a voice of regret, "Watch out for your braids, they've all been broken."
