Dinghuai Gate has complete defense facilities and sufficient soldiers to defend the city. If Zhu Guobi's strength is based on the strength of 800 Zhu Guobi, there is absolutely no hope of taking Dinghuai Gate. Not to mention that the defenders of Dinghuai Gate are equipped with a large number of firearms, while Zhu Guobi's 800 people only have the most basic swords and guns.

However, Zhu Guobi's goal today is not to take over Dinghuai Gate independently. As long as he opens the city gate and puts the Qing army outside the city in, he will be completed, and the future work will naturally be completed by the Qing army.

Zhu Guobi and one hundred personal soldiers occupied the first urn city, which was also the closest to the city. Zhu Guobi looked around and it was already midnight. Except for the soldiers watching the night in the city, the surroundings were very quiet.

Zhu Guobi asked his personal soldiers to go to the side to find the staff he had arranged in advance. The 700 people who had finally gathered together by the nobles of the families. These 700 people had been in the Dinghuai Gate Minfu Camp for more than ten days, and they usually followed the civilians to take charge of the work they carried on. Fortunately, the Dinghuai Gate is not the main battlefield and there are not so many jobs, so the 700 people have no losses.

The seven hundred people came to Zhu Guobi under the command of several Hundred Houses General Banners. Zhu Guobi asked in a low voice: "How is it, are there any accidents?"

The hundreds of households said, "Please rest assured, there is no accident. The soldiers guarding the city are already asleep. The officials have drunk some wine and are all sleeping. The soldiers who are watching the night in the city are still there, but there are less than a hundred people!"

After hearing this, Zhu Guobi was overjoyed. The plan tonight was very successful. Zhu Guobi pointed to a hundred households and said, "You should be familiar with the situation here. Take two hundred people to the city and kill all the guards on the top of the city. Be careful not to make too much noise. After killing the guards, do you know that you must seize the Dragon Breaking Gate?"

The Broken Dragon Gate is the key to seizing the gate. If the Broken Dragon Gate is put down when the Qing army enters the city, then everything will be over.

The hundred-hun nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the villain has been familiar with the road these days, and I promise not to delay the grand affairs of the grandfather!"

"Okay!" Zhu Guobi said to another hundred households: "You bring a hundred people into the urn city and find the firearm warehouse. When you see the Qing army coming in, you must burn the firearms!"

Zhu Guobi assigned tasks and sent his subordinates to occupy key nodes, leaving only fifty people beside him to defend him.

When Xu Wenjue saw that Zhu Guobi was left with only fifty people, he asked in a low voice: "Uncle, is it too few that there are only fifty people around us?"

Zhu Guobi sighed and said, "There are too few people. There are 3,000 people guarding this Dinghuai Sect. This is not the large number of soldiers on the surrounding city walls. Although most of these soldiers are guards with weak combat power, if they are not prepared enough, we will fail! Only in this way can we ensure that the Qing army is put in, and when they come in, we will have nothing to do!"

Xu Wenjue had never brought the soldiers, and he could not refute Zhu Guobi said so, so he had to follow him without saying a word.

After all the arrangements were already past midnight, the surroundings were very quiet. Even the soldiers watching the night above the city no longer walked around, probably running there to sleep. Under the cover of the night, Zhu Guobi's personal soldiers were like fish in water, and soon occupied several important nodes of Dinghuai Gate.

Zhu Guobi got smooth news from the first urn city, and then ordered people to open the first urn city gate and walk into the urn city. Of course, Zhu Guobi did not dare to open the main city gate, the largest in the middle

The city gate is three meters high and weighs thousands of kilograms. There are no more than a dozen people who can't push it at all. At the same time, the noise is too loud when opening the door, which is easy for soldiers guarding the city to discover it. Therefore, Zhu Guobi opened the side door next to the main city gate. Although it is a side door, it is also two meters wide, which completely allows a war horse to pass through.

Zhu Guobi brought the remaining fifty people into the urncheng. It was divided into two layers. The lower floor was the Tibetan soldiers' cave, which was the place where soldiers guarding the city rested, and the second floor was the city's head. Zhu Guobi stood in the urncheng and looked around. There were only a dozen torches shining around, and the several Tibetan soldiers' caves were dim, and probably the people inside were sleeping soundly.

Zhu Guobi passed by the second city gate without any danger. Fifty meters ahead was the third city gate. Opening it was outside the city. The third city gate was the first layer of defense, so the city gate was much taller. However, in order to guard the main city gate, Zhu Guobi had only more than fifty people under him, and it was completely unrealistic to rely on them to open the stones to fill the door.

There was no choice but to order people to open the side door next to it and come outside the city. Not far away was dark. Outside Dinghuai Gate was the Longjiang Shipyard. In order to guard the city, Ma Cheng had already transported the personnel and supplies of the Longjiang Shipyard back to the city, so there was a ruin outside Dinghuai Gate.

Zhu Guobi stood at the city gate and looked at the dark outside, and ordered people to bring a torch, which was the joint code he agreed with the Qing army.

Zhu Guobi lit the torch and stood at the gate of the city to wave it. Soon there was a reaction in the dark night opposite. A group of black shadows stood up two hundred meters away, and a black shadow walked over carefully and came to Zhu Guobi.

The black shadow was wearing iron armor, but his body was covered with black mud, probably afraid that the iron armor would reflect. This man was of medium height and very strong. He came to Zhu Guobi and looked at Zhu Guobi and the Xu brothers behind him, and then asked in a low voice: "Are you Chen Hongfan?"

The black shadow has a very strange accent, not enough for Zhu Guobi to stay in Beijing. He knew that this was Liaodong Mandarin. The black shadow in front of him was probably from the Manchu Han military flag.

"This master, Chen Hongfan cannot come if he has something to do. The villain is Zhu Guobi, the pseudo-Ming Baoguo Duke, and Xu Wenjue, Duke of Wei. Let's come here to welcome the Qing Tianjun into the city!"

The man looked at Zhu Guobi, then looked at the person behind Zhu Guobi, then waved to outside the city, and more than a dozen people came from the darkness. The leader was wearing well-designed armor, and should be an official.

The Han army flag said a few words to the later generals, Zhu Guobi didn't understand. The general nodded and came to Zhu Guobi in a strange Chinese accent and said, "Okay, I am the official in front of the Ten Kings' Pont. If you can lead my Qing army into the city, it will be a great achievement. You will not lose your promotion and wealth in the future!"

Zhu Guobi didn't know how old Beile was, but seeing that he should be very dressed, Zhu Guobi quickly knelt down and said, "The villain welcomes Lord Beile. The city is very quiet now. The pseudo Ming emperor is in the palace. The villain can lead the Qing army to the palace to capture the emperor!"

That Know Boro shook his head and said, "No, we won't catch the emperor. We have to go to Sanshan Gate. Open the Sanshan Gate and let the army enter the city. Do you know that you will lead us to Sanshan Gate next?"

Zhu Guobi heard Boluo say this and dared not object, so he nodded and agreed.

After Boluo said that, he waved to the outside. At this time, countless black shadows stood up outside Dinghuai Gate City, Niulu at the grassroots level.

Under the command of the sect, he quickly came to Dinghuai Gate.

Boluo and five thousand Qing elites set off from the Jiangpu Ferry on the other side three days ago and lurked in the river net outside Dinghuai Gate. These Qing troops have been in great trouble these days because they are not afraid to make fire or move under the eyes of the Ming army. They can only eat some beef jerky when hungry. At the same time, because they are located in a dense river net area, mosquitoes and leeches in the reeds are absolutely indispensable, so these Qing troops have been harmed in recent days.

These Qing soldiers were full of resentment. As soon as they entered the city, they had to attack the Ming army sleeping beside them, but Boluo stopped them. There was still more important thing to do when entering the city. Where can I kill innocent people in Dinghuai Gate?

With Niu Lu's constraints, these Qing troops had no choice but to go through the first city gate honestly into the city, preparing to follow the fire road beside the city wall to Sanshan Gate under the leadership of Zhu Guobi.

But at this moment, people heard the sound of people, and the fire was lit up on Dinghuai Gate. At the same time, the second city gate and the first city gate were lowered, and the Qing army was separated into three sections.

After leaving Dinghuai Gate, Ma'anshan was Ma'anshan. At this time, there was a light of fire in Ma'anshan. A large number of Ming troops surrounded the Qing army that rushed out of the city gate with firearms. At the same time, a cannon was pushed out. The dark muzzle was already filled with shotguns, facing the at a loss of time.

When Boluo saw it, he caught Zhu Guobi and scolded: "What's going on?"

Zhu Guobi didn't know that something went wrong in that place, so he was confused and didn't know how to answer it was good.

At this time, a man appeared on Dinghuai Sect, wearing an exquisite armor, holding a thousand-sharp steel knife, and a group of personal soldiers were surrounded by him. This man was Ma Cheng.

In fact, Ma Cheng knew that Chen Hongfan was unreliable as early as the beginning of the year, and letting him stay by his side was to monitor it at any time. Therefore, Chen Hongfan's side, from servants to soldiers, were spies from the Military Intelligence Department. Ma Cheng already knew it when Xu Wenjue first contacted Chen Hongfan a month ago.

However, Ma Cheng did not have the general situation to search for nobles who opposed him. The reason was very simple. At that time, he could only catch Xu Wenjue's handle, and at most Zhu Guobi. The two of them had a lot of property, which was not enough for Ma Cheng's new army to eat for a month. Ma Cheng's interest in the property of more than 20 nobles in the city.

However, these nobles did not all oppose Zhu Lunkui. Ma Cheng also knew that it was impossible to defeat the entire city's nobles by just Xu Wenjue's intention to rebel. Therefore, after Ma Cheng learned about Xu Wenjue's plan, he immediately formulated a more vicious plan, which was to take advantage of the rebellion of Xu Wenjue and Zhu Guobi to implicate all the nobles in the city.

Since he wanted to implicate everyone, he had to make things bigger, so that Emperor Zhu Lunkui could not plead for these nobles. Now the Qing army besieged the city, and there was something bigger than the Qing army attacking the city? So Ma Cheng has been sending spies to follow Chen Hongfan. In the past few days, Chen Hongfan sent people out to communicate with Duoduo. Chen Hongfan discussed the details with Zhu Guobi and Xu Wenjue, and Xu Wenjue conspired with the princes such as Dingyuan. Ma Cheng knew very well. Otherwise, because Nanjing City was strictly guarded, could a small Xu Mansion servant be able to leave the city at will? This was the result of Ma Cheng's intention to let the water go.
