Chapter 381 Master Wang Enters the City

Behind the city wall of Nancheng, a group of Qing army iron barrel gunners were manipulating the iron poke cannon to shoot explosive packs outside the city wall.

Behind the city wall, the Ming army's cannons, muskets, bows and arrows could not hurt them at all.

Therefore, many Qing army gunners did not have to worry about being attacked, and they were all focused on firing artillery. It was not until Zhou Jinhai led more than 100 Qing troops to the front that everyone discovered it.

The cannon group is behind the city wall and is a safe area, so naturally there are no soldiers guarding it.

The commander of the Qing army general saw a large number of "comrades-in-comrades" rushing towards them. At first, he didn't care. Later, when he saw them wearing bright swords and his expression was ferocious, he felt something was wrong.

For a moment, the officer couldn't help but retreat and asked loudly, "What are you going to do?"

Zhou Jinhai didn't say anything, so he picked up his weapons and rushed over. He slashed wildly without asking any questions.

The gunmen exclaimed, threw down the iron cannon, and retreated. Anyway, the Qing army swung their swords and rushed in, and in a moment they cut all over the Qing army, killing blood.

"General, someone rebelled and killed the city from behind!" On the wall city, a Qing army stumbled over and shouted loudly.

At this time, Zhou Jinyong, who rushed to the Wengcheng from the city, rushed to the Wengcheng with hundreds of Qing troops and chopped and killed everywhere. The Qing army, which was preventing the Ming army from climbing the city, was all focused on the Ming army. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jinyong rushed forward and was killed with a mistake.

Zhou Jinyong and others were still wearing green camp jackets, but the red beard on the hat on their heads was pulled out as a mark as an agreement with the Ming army.

This made the Qing soldiers unable to notice it for a while, and could not tell the difference between the enemy and us, and were killed and defeated.

At this time, Zhou Jinyong and others took the opportunity to shout, "The government army went up to the city, Zhao Dashuai went up to the city, Li Guan saw the rebellion, and the brothers all turned against each other!"

On the southern city, there were many soldiers of the Wujin general Li Yingyuan, and Zhou Jinhai was also the Qiang General under Li Yingyuan. When he shouted, the Qing army on the city wall was shocked and suspicious. The two Qing soldiers looked at each other and suddenly started to chop each other.

Gao Yuanzhao, who was guarding the Nancheng, saw the Qing army in chaos, looked at Li Yingyuan, the general of the Fen Shou, beside him, and suddenly a knife hit Li Yingyuan's abdomen, who was confused. The latter's face was twisted, and his bloody hands grabbed Gao Yuanzhao's hand holding the knife, vomiting blood and said: "Deputy General Gao, why did you kill me~"

Gao Yuanzhao looked frightened. Although he was a deputy general, he had never fought any wars. It was just because he was the young master of Xuzhou Town that he was appointed as the deputy general.

At this time, Gao Yuanzhao was already in a mess, and at this moment, the Ming army took advantage of the iron barrel cannons to jump onto the city wall.

Wang Deshun landed on the top of the city and killed a Qing army with one knife, then screamed loudly, "Brothers, kill!"

Generally speaking, as long as the city is defended properly, it is difficult to attack the city once it is convenient and siege. To seize the city, it will inevitably cost a heavy price. However, once there is a rebellion inside the city, it will be very easy to attack.

Zhou Jinyong made chaos and rushed to the top of the city, so that the Qing army guarding the city had no time to resist the Ming army, and he didn't care about defending the city. The Ming soldiers did not suppress them and continued to climb the city.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan broke free from Li Yingyuan's bloody hand in panic, pushed him to the ground, and then hurried down to the city.

Previously, Gao Yuanzhao actually tended to surrender to Zhao Ming, but he had missed the opportunity to surrender. Now that the Ming army is invading the city, he cannot surrender under such circumstances, nor is he willing to be captured by the Ming army, so he fled in panic.

Under the Ming army's big flag, Zhao Ming looked towards the south city with a thousand-mile mirror, and smiled on his face, "Hmph, Li Benshen actually said that he was like this coach. When the army entered the city, I will get close to you and let you know what this coach is."

"Master Zhao, Wu is broken into the city today!" Qian Qianyi, who was barely riding on the horse, said excitedly.

Zhao Ming looked at the Ming army rushing to the south city, and saw that the Qing army in the north city seemed to be affected by the situation in the south city and was also retreating step by step. He immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Beat the drums and cheer, and the army quickly seized the city gate and rushed into the city."

When Wu entered the city, Li Benshen returned to the prefecture government office, commanded the city center, and mobilized troops to guard the four gates.

At first, the situation on the battlefield was as expected, as the Ming army did attack Dongcheng, which had been bombarded for many days, and Nancheng, which was close to the canal.

This made Li Benshen feel a little calm. He made a lot of preparations to defend the city for several days and was still quite confident in blocking the Ming army's attack.

But just when he was relieved, news came from both walls that his killer iron barrel cannon group was used by both cities in the southeast.

Li Benshen did not expect that the Ming army would force the defenders to show all their trump cards for the first time to attack. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and uneasy, so he decided to draw the Qing army on the west and north walls to reinforce. However, before the military order was released, he was waiting for a news that shocked him.

"Military Gate, big things are not good! Wu Jin guards the green camp and rebels! The Ming army has entered the city!" A general rolled and crawled into the hall, and reported urgently at the top of his lungs.

"What? Are you going to defend the green camp? "Li Benshen was shocked and felt like he was struck by lightning in his mind.

"Zhou Jinhai attacked the Nancheng artillery group, Zhou Jin bravely seized the city gate, and the green camp guarded the city wall and killed us in a group. The Ming army has taken the opportunity to enter the city!"

It's over! It's over! Only these two words remain in Li Benshen's mind.

If I had known this situation, I should have considered it at the beginning. I would have surrendered to Zhao Zamao, but now that the Ming army has entered the city, it would be too late.

"Military Gate, what should we do? There are only 10,000 defenders in the city, and 3,000 of them are still guarding the Green Camp. There are 50,000 or 60,000 Ming troops outside the city. They open the city gate and rush into the city. How can we fight?" Many Qing generals in the hall exclaimed in succession.

Li Benshen's face turned pale and said nothing. After a while, he suddenly said angrily: "Stay the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood. He is very stupid! He doesn't even order all the troops and horses, and follow me to break through!"

After saying that, Li Benshen pushed away the subordinates who blocked him, snatched out of the festival hall, and turned over the horse. Many Qing generals also reacted and followed.

Li Benshen held the war horse outside the state yamen, looked at the four big words "Changzhou Prefecture Office" on the gate, and pulled out the reins of the horse in resentment, "I ordered all the troops to break through from the west city and meet with me in Zhenjiang."

At that moment, Li Benshen waved his whip and headed west along the street. A large number of green camp soldiers were unable to follow him.

At this time, the entire Wujin City was already in chaos, and the soldiers of the Green Camp killed each other. The Ming army took the opportunity to open the city gate. Countless figures wearing disc helmets were crowded, rising and falling, and pouring into the city one after another.

The Ming soldiers ran along the street, and the neat footsteps resounded throughout the city.

The people hiding at home in the city saw the fiery red figures on the streets from the cracks, and the streets were everywhere. Suddenly, a burst of cheers sounded in the city, "The King's Army has entered the city, the King's Army has entered the city!"
