Chapter 60 Breakthrough
When the Qing army bombed the camp outside the city, the rebels in the city had reached their limits.
During the fight, the rebel soldiers fell one after another. Just as everyone was desperate, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, "The Qing army bombed the camp!"
Zheng Sen, who was fighting at the city, killed a Qing army with one knife, jumped out of the battle group, and subconsciously shouted, "What, where to bomb the camp?"
Without anyone's answer, the rebels and the Qing army were in a stir at the same time because they all heard the noise and explosions outside Jiangyin City.
"The Qing army bombed the camp! It was reinforcements!" The voice just now sounded excitedly, and the tone changed.
Zheng Sen hurried to the north gate city, saw the fire in the direction of Qingying, and shouted excitedly at the bottom: "General System, Qingying is in chaos!"
Chen Ming came up as he was panting, swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, looked west, and was so excited that he couldn't bear to see, "It must be reinforcements."
The rebels in despair cheered in an instant. It was a road that was boundless. I didn't expect that there would be someone to rescue them in such a desperate situation.
The Qing army was shocked by the sudden change, and the morale was bleak, and the attack was repelled by the rebels again.
At this time, Yan Yingyuan hurried to the top of the city and was so excited that he held hands tightly with Chen Mingyu to show encouragement, and there was an uncontrollable excitement on his face.
"General system, I don't know which reinforcements it was!" Chen Mingyu said.
"No matter which way it is, they must come for Jiangyin!" Yan Yingyuan said excitedly: "We must seize the opportunity and break through immediately."
As he was talking, Zheng Sen suddenly shouted: "No, the Qing army has begun to mobilize troops."
Yan Yingyuan looked at the Qing army that had just been repelled rushed up again. The Qing army that was surveillance outside the north city gate also set off torches, rushing out of the camp and blocking the city gate.
When Liu Liangzuo heard the movement outside the city, he knew that there was a change. While sending troops out of the city to reinforce the camp, he organized the newly retreated Qing soldiers to continue the attack and must destroy the Jiangyin defenders.
At this time, the land controlled by the rebels was only around the North City Tower, and the Qing army compressed the rebels from three directions to the North Gate.
The Qing army in the city made a little rectification and launched another attack from three directions, intending to annihilate the rebels. At the same time, the Qing army outside the northern city was ready to set up a formation and prepared to prevent the rebels from breaking through.
Seeing the Qing army's actions, Yan Yingyuan did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered in a deep voice, "Damu, you take Taiping Camp as the vanguard, open the city to break through, Gongchen, you bring the people to follow, I will cut off the rear!"
Zheng Sen and Chen Ming changed their expressions, "How could the Lord be the one who stays in the queen? I would like to cut off the queen."
Yan Yingyuan had no doubts: "The Qing army was blocked in front, and staying behind is not as dangerous as the vanguard, so you don't need to say much."
After speaking, Yan Yingyuan pulled the knife and shouted loudly, "Hurry, act according to the order!"
The situation was urgent and there was no delay. It was a matter of struggle. When Zheng Sen saw that he insisted, he stopped talking and immediately went down the city tower and summoned the soldiers of Taiping Camp.
After nearly three months of war, most of the five hundred soldiers have been killed, leaving only more than two hundred people.
Zheng Sen stood on the steps and faced two hundred remaining soldiers. "Soldiers, if the Qing army outside the city is attacked, someone must come to rescue him. This is our last chance and we must seize it. The situation is very difficult now. The Qing army in the city is rushing towards the north gate, and there are Qing soldiers outside the north gate intercepting it. Whether the people of Jiangyin can survive depends entirely on you!"
Two hundred remaining soldiers burst into their eyes with a trace of light, which was the hope of life.
Zheng Sen glanced at more than 200 faces, "I hope you will understand that if you don't kill a bloody road, we will all die. Now you are the hope of the people in the city. I, Zheng Sen, will open the way with you and compete for a life! Sen, please everyone!"
After Zheng Sen said that, he clasped his fists and bowed. The people gathered at the city gate, the elderly bowed, and the women and children holding the children bent down to salute to the two hundred soldiers.
People in Jiangyin cannot die, so some people must survive and spread the deeds of people in Jiangyin.
Two hundred soldiers were silent for a moment. After a moment, Liu Si shouted angrily, his voice changing tone, "Don't sacrifice your life and break through the siege!"
"Break out of the siege!" The soldiers let out a roar of fear.
Zheng Sen reached out to bring a spear, shield, and bows and arrows on his back. The injured rebels at the city gate took off their armor, put them on the soldiers who left the city, and handed them the swords that could still be used.
Zheng Sen bit his teeth and shouted: "Open the door!"
The city gate creaked open, and he lifted his gun forward, "Run!"
Two hundred soldiers immediately rushed out of the gate, and a group of Qing soldiers stood outside the city gate. With a "bang bang" and the rebels rushing in front were killed seven or eight people.
The smoke of gunpowder was filled with guns, and the soldiers in the middle of the battle fell down continuously, but they could not stop the soldiers behind. In the blink of an eye, the rebels rushed out the smoke of gunpowder and killed nearly a thousand Qing soldiers.
For a moment, the two armies fought each other in close combat. Zheng Sen fought hard and advanced forward. The people who helped the elderly and the young rushed out of the door. The rebels who had broken the rear were defeated by the Qing army, and soon the only one left was the Beicheng Gate.
Yan Yingyuan fought to the death and blocked the Qing army in the city in the north city. However, there were many Qing troops outside the city, but Zheng Sen was unable to rush the Qing army away.
Under the attack of the rebels on both sides, Zheng Sen fell into a hard battle. Although the Taiping Camp fought to the death, it could not defeat the Qing soldiers blocking the way.
Zheng Sen was anxious, but suddenly aroused anger behind him. A Ming flag that had been flying for nearly three months on the city tower was thrown down from the city tower. A Qing army general climbed the city tower, and the North Gate Tower was captured by the Qing army.
For a moment, the situation was extremely dangerous, and failure was already in front of him. Zheng Sen's heart was filled with unwillingness. He was full of grief and anger, and his eyes were red, which made him crazily kill the Qing army in front of him. His Jiesili moved the Qing army.
Liu Liangzuo stood on the city tower and saw the rebels fighting to the death, his face was gloomy. A Jiangyin City tortured him to March, losing face in front of Boluo, which made him extremely angry and scolded, "Quickly annihilate the remaining enemies!"
As soon as he finished speaking, behind the Qing army outside the northern city, a sudden chaos occurred, and a pair of red-armored cavalry roared.
The Qing general Liu Zehan, who was commanding the blocking, originally thought it was Zhenghongqi coming to reinforce, so he hurriedly welcomed him. Unexpectedly, the general who was the leader rushed over was hit and knocked his helmet flattened, his brain burst, and his face was covered with blood.
On the top of the city, Liu Liangzuo saw his son being beaten to death with his own eyes. He was both heartbroken and beat his chest and shouted, "Han'er, kill me!"
Zhao Ming raided the Qing camp and chased Boluo and ran away. He took advantage of the chaos in the Qing camp and rushed directly to the north city, rode his horse into the Qing army, smashed the sticks, and the hero behind him slashed the swords and killed the Qing army.
"Brothers of the rebels, don't panic, I, Zhao Ming, are back!" Zhao Ming danced with a big stick, extremely brave. The Qing soldiers who blocked the rebels from leaving the city were immediately defeated by the cavalry.
The trapped rebels were instantly jubilant. Zheng Sen led the soldiers, Chen Mingyu and the people rushed out.
The rebels who were still resisting in the doorway were immediately overjoyed. Veteran Xu Guanhai suddenly pushed Yan Yingyuan away, "Take the general manager away!"
Several guards stole Yan Yingyuan out of the door without saying a word.
