Outside Jiading City, the sound of cannons rumbled.

The city walls of the county town could not withstand the bombardment of red cannons, and a four-meter-wide gap collapsed, and thick smoke and dust rose.

Under the city wall, the Qing army carrying long ladders were everywhere like ants.

A team of elite Qing troops, before the smoke and dust were dissipated, crashed into the collapsed place, climbed up the slope and bricks and stones, and in the blink of an eye, it went up to the top of the slope.

Several rural heroes in the city stabbed him with a spear and did not stab the Qing soldiers' armor. Instead, they were chopped over by the Qing army with a knife and the bodies rolled down the slope.

On the battlefield, the Qing army's horns clashed, and the shouts of killing were buzzing throughout the world, and there were also many Manchu-supervising teams.

Under the city wall, Li Chengdong stood under the banner on a horse, and Leng Jun stared at Jiading City.

"Beizi! Today's Jiading will be broken!" Li Chengdong said with a smile.

Li Chengdong was a general of Gao Jie. He belonged to Xuzhou Town, one of the four towns in Jiangbei of the Hongguang Dynasty. He was one of the most powerful troops in the Hongguang Dynasty.

However, after Gao Jie was killed by the rebel Xu Dingguo, Shi Kefa was inappropriate in handling it, and Xuzhou Town was liable. In addition, the warlords were not loyal and righteous, the Qing army rushed south to Xuzhou Town without a single arrow, and all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Beizi stationed in Qi and stared at the small Jiading City. He sighed in his heart, "Qian Qianyi told Prince Yu that the people in Wu were weak and the order could be settled, but he didn't think that things were not the case. If the Han people in this world were like the people of Jiading, how could our Qing Dynasty enter the pass?"

This made Li Chengdong difficult to answer, his face darkened, and Tunqi continued, "Luckily, the Han people are not all like this." He glanced at Li Chengdong without any scruples and said in a deep voice: "General Li, this group of people in Jiading cannot be kept. If you break through the city, you will not be left behind!"

Li Chengdong looked cold and focused, "Don't worry, Beizi!"

...

"Hurry up, go up together and block the gap!" Hou Dongzeng roared at the collapse of the city wall.

The people holding various weapons and wearing civilian clothes did not care about fear, rushed forward, waved their weapons to stop the Qing army.

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, but the Qing army that occupied the city heads on both sides of the collapsed place began to shoot arrows and guns. The villagers who were not in defense of armor were shot down one after another, and the losses were extremely heavy, but the villagers still fought to the death.

Everyone in Jiading knew very well that the result of the city's destruction was that the whole city was slaughtered.

Although they knew they could not beat them, they still had to fight.

"Die!" On the top of the city, the old guerrilla Cai Qiao waved his big sword and rushed into the Qing army. The big sword swept across and brought out a strong wind. The Qing army had no time to dodge, and he killed three people with a knife in a scream.

The Qing soldiers reacted, and the spearman rushed forward, and Cai Qiao swung his sword and killed several people. Suddenly, a Qing soldier came from the side, and one spear hit the waist. Cai Qiao's body stiffened. Four or five Qing soldiers took the opportunity to stab the spear, and several spears stabbed into Cai Qiao's body almost at the same time from all directions.

"Kill the enemy!" The old general looked at the spear that was stabbing into his body and let out a low roar. The Qing army's spear was pulled out, and the blood mist was raised. The old general's body suddenly fell back and died in a fierce battle.

At the gap, the villagers fought desperately with the Qing army. The villagers were cut off by the Qing army and had exhausted their last strength before they fell to the ground...

Li Chengdong's army was experienced in battle for a long time and fought fiercely, but facing the villagers who fought to the death, all the Qing army soldiers were a little scared.

However, the villagers had not been trained after all, and soon the gap fell down one by one. Hou Dongzeng looked around, and there were not many people around him, but he still had no fear.

Now that things are the only one who dies, he is fearless.

Suddenly, a noise came not far from the gap, and a large number of Qing troops rushed into the city along the streets, and the city gate was broken by the Qing army.

A small group of people rushed forward desperately, and the leader of the general, he waved his sword while shouting: "Sir, the city is broken! Go quickly!"

Hou Dongzeng sighed, "Jiading is dead, how can I bear to live alone!"

"Sir, stay with the green mountains without fear of burning firewood! Rush up and rescue sir!" The Ming army was covered in blood. While fighting with the Qing army, he kept calling Hou Dongzeng, "Sir, sir, go quickly!"

Hou Dongzeng didn't have time to answer. A Ming army had just pulled his clothes, but he was shocked and stabbed to death by the Qing army with a spear and died heroically.

At this time, as the Qing army entered the city, the resistance forces in the city began to collapse, and the villagers had no organization and fought with the Qing army in various neighbors in the city.

The villagers fought for their own battles. The women and children in the city, the elderly and the weak, knew that the situation was hopeless, and began to commit suicide with their families.

By the pond, the woman holding the children jumped into the pond one by one. The pond was filled with corpses from the sinking pond, and the corpses from the wells filled the wells' mouths, and fires broke out everywhere in the city.

Huang Chunyao, a Jinshi, was old and weak, and lived in a monk's house in the west of the city. His younger brother Huang Yuanyao guarded the city. When the city was broken, Huang Yuanyao hurried to the monk's house and pushed open the door. Huang Chunyao had already hanged himself and left a desperate letter on the wall: "On the first year of Hongguang, on the fourth day of the seventh month, Huang Chunyao, a Jinshi, was sentenced to the monk's house in the west city. Alas! Advance cannot be promoted to the dynasty, retreat cannot be kept in hiding himself, study hard, study hard, and unreliable, this is just this heart. In the future, the atmosphere of the barbarians will be restored. When Chinese scholars and common people are seeing the sun of the sky, they should know my heart!"

"Brother!" Huang Yuanyao, covered in blood, knelt in front of the shaking corpse, and lost voice in pain.

Not long after, the sound of killing came from outside, and the Qing army had already arrived. Huang Yuanyao kowtowed a few times, tears, picked up the sword, and jumped out, "Kill the enemy!"

Outside the city, Li Chengdong and Tunqi watched the Qing army enter the city coldly. When they heard the shouts of killing, they spread from the city wall to the city, and knew that Jiading had been broken.

Tunqi smiled on his face, "General Li, the court will reward you." After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered in a barbarian manner, "Batai'an, take your people into the city!"

"Zha, I obey the order." A white-armored Niulu rushed to fight Qian'er, then turned over and dismounted, leading the three hundred Eight Banners soldiers who were supervising the battle, galloped towards Jiading City.

Li Chengdong's muscles were unconsciously pulled. Jiangnan's city was rich, and the people wanted to pick peaches, but he had no choice but to let them snatch it first.

Just when Li Chengdong was unhappy, suddenly the Qing army camp behind him was in chaos.

"Look! The camp is on fire!" A young general next to him suddenly exclaimed, "No! Some cavalry rushed towards here."

Li Chengdong and Tunqi were in a panic and hurriedly looked back, but they saw that the main camp of the Qing army was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. A cavalry of more than 20 people rushed out of the camp where the flames were soaring into the sky. The leader was the leader and the spear was riding his horse, and he rushed directly like Li Chengdong's big ball.

"Zhao Bo'an is here! The traitor is killed!" Zhao Ming rushed forward, roared with his horse, and everyone followed him and came in the wind.

Li Chengdong felt cold in his heart, and Tun Qi was stunned and said, "Stop them!"

Military orders were issued, but no one obeyed the orders. The Eight Banners were sent, and there were only less than a hundred soldiers of Li's troops left under the banner.
