Chapter 278: Seize the Door

A man dressed in the costume of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, standing in the Qing army, swore that he was the Ming army. This situation, no matter how you look at it, is very eye-catching, and it is unacceptable for a while. The guard of Xiao Andemen, when he heard this, suddenly had some stuckness in his head, and he couldn't turn around.

I can't figure it out, the Eight Banners soldier in front of me is obviously full of Manchurians. How can he say that he himself is still the Restoration Army, so why should the Ming Dynasty be called Nanjing? No matter how you look at it, it feels awkward, and it makes this guard feel like he's dreaming.

Before the guard could react, he saw that Ding Sihan had already pulled out the matching knife on his waist from the Qing army next to him and was slashing at him. The other people who went up to the city wall with Ding Sihan heard Ding Sihan's words, and they also started to cut down the Qing soldiers beside them. Ding Sihan chased the guard alone and slashed, refusing to let go of the guard.

Ding Sihan was originally a sneak attack, and the guard barely dodged twice, and he was always very embarrassed. finally dodged two stabs, only then did he understand, and shouted in horror: "Are you a spy of the Ming army?" Your Ming army people, it's not good, the Ming army spies have entered the city, kill them quickly. Yes! ”

This guard dodged Ding Sihan a few times, and took advantage of the gap to speak now, and was finally slashed in the chest by Ding Sihan. Suddenly, the guard was cut down to the ground, and a Manchurian Eight Banner next to him took the opportunity to go up with a knife and cut off the head of the guard.

This guard, although he figured out that Ding Sihan and others were spies of the Ming army. But until he died, he didn't understand why these people were obviously high-ranking Manchurian uncles. Why did he suddenly say that he was Han again, and he had become a Ming Restoration Army.

The other defenders were already caught off guard by Ding Sihan and others. Nearly 30 people have been killed and no less than 20 wounded. When the other defenders saw that they were about to be killed, they all scattered and began to flee. Ding Sihan hurriedly said: "Ten people go down to the city first, go and open the city gate quickly, and receive the army outside the city into the city." The others, follow me to the Elephant Gate. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that there was also a battle on the side of Shuangqiao Gate, and he immediately understood that it was the Fuming army that had entered the city attacking the city gate. Ten people were left behind, and then the others followed Ding Sihan to the elephant training gate.

It's not that Ding Sihan and the others don't measure their own strength, they have to ask ten people to attack a city gate. But now the Restoration Army outside the city is attacking the Elephant Gate. If you can attack the defenders from inside the city, it will make it easier for the army to attack the city outside the city. It can also allow the Restoration Army to suffer fewer casualties in the siege.

And now outside the Xiaoande Gate, there are also a large number of Restoration Army approaching. Soon Xiao Andemen will be completely controlled by the Restoration Army. Since there is no suspense in Xiao'ande Gate, Ding Sihan thought about helping to attack the Elephant Gate, let the army enter the city as soon as possible, and quickly attack the inner city before the Qing army in the city has reacted.

When Ding Sihan took the people who came and ran to the elephant gate, the Ming Restoration Army outside the city had already swarmed towards the elephant gate. Looking at the Restoration Army outside the city, Ding Sihan shouted: "Quick, immediately assist the army to capture the Elephant Gate." Suddenly, more than a dozen people roared angrily, and rushed towards the elephant gate.

The guard of the Elephant Gate had been watching the Restoration Army outside the city before, and did not see the situation of Xiao Andemen. I don't know about Ding Sihan and others killing the defenders of Xiao'andemen. Now seeing Ding Sihan and the others, they hurriedly came over from Xiao'andemen, thinking that they had rushed over to assist in the defense. He immediately asked, "Xiao Andemen also heard the shouting of killing just now, how are they doing over there now?" ”

Ding Sihan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what this guard meant. The guard general was stunned when he saw Ding Sihan, and suddenly said: "Forget it, defend the city first, we also need people here, you hurry up and defend." Ding Sihan saw that the guard was defenseless, and was about to call the people who came with him to do it.

The sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in the city of the Taming Gate, which immediately interrupted Ding Sihan's thoughts. Suddenly hearing the shouts of killing under the city, the defenders of the city were startled. The guard also immediately ran to the inner city to check, and saw that there were more than a dozen people dressed in people's clothes under the city, carrying knives and rushing to the gate of the city. Immediately, the sound of battle sounded under the city, and the sound of slashing and clashing was incessant.

Seeing this situation, the guard was immediately shocked and said: "Hurry down twenty people, this must be a rebellion by the spies in the city, and they must not be allowed to open the city gate." Then he turned to Doding Sihan and the others: "Several, you also go down to help and kill all those who make trouble." ”

Then the guard suddenly discovered that Ding Sihan and the others were all dressed in Eight Banners. Hurriedly said: "Ouch, I don't know how many of them are the masters of the Eight Banners, I didn't mean to command a few, and I ask for forgiveness." Ding Sihan said: "It's okay, we're not here to defend the city." ”

The guard was suddenly puzzled: "Didn't you come to defend the city?" So what are you here for? If nothing else, please go back to the inner city, where a big battle is about to begin. Ding Sihan saw that the people on his side had already stood up. Suddenly said: "There is no need to go back to the inner city, we will naturally enter later." Now I want you to give us the gates of this place. ”

"What?" The guard was stunned for a moment, he looked at Ding Sihan, and looked at the people behind Ding Sihan. Said: "General, aren't you joking, just ten of you want to take over the entire Elephant Training Gate?" What's more, there are tens of thousands of troops outside the city now, these things are not a joke, and it is not easy for anyone to afford to lose the city gate. ”

Ding Sihan said: "Don't worry, I won't let you bear it, and besides, you can't afford it." The guard listened to Ding Sihan's words, but he didn't react yet. Immediately, I felt a pain in my back, and then I heard the soldiers next to me screaming. It was really a soldier of the Eight Banners behind him, and a knife stabbed into his body.

The guard looked at the tip of the knife piercing through his chest in disbelief, and looked at Ding Sihan incredulously. "You... Why are you.... He couldn't figure out why the Eight Banners master in front of him wanted to kill him. No matter what he was unwilling to do, the feeling of powerlessness in his body had been constantly coming.

As the defender fell, the other defenders around him were stunned. Suddenly, when he saw these Manchurian Eight Banners, he couldn't help but kill his boss. Suddenly panicked, looking at these people in horror, always worried about whether these Manchurian Eight Banners would kill themselves.

Their worries were not unreasonable, after Ding Sihan and the others killed the guard. Immediately, the butcher's knife was pointed at these defenders. Seeing that these Manchurian Eight Banners really wanted to kill themselves, no matter what their reason was, these defenders couldn't take care of the defense, and immediately fled in all directions.

Ding Sihan and the others chased after them, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped on the wall of the elephant training gate. There is also a scene that Wei Du and others saw. The defenders of the city did not have the heart to defend, and the pressure of the Restoration Army besieging the city suddenly plummeted. In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the Restoration Army climbed the first gate of Nanjing City with the help of simple tools.

Seeing that the Restoration Army had already attacked the city wall, Ding Sihan and others were relieved. At this time, there were few defenders in the city, and the overall situation was stable. Immediately, they threw the hats on their heads, and then cut the straps of their armor with knives with each other, revealing the military uniforms of the Restoration Army inside. I don't have armor to protect me, but now I don't have to worry about being killed by mistake.

The other Restoration Army who climbed the city wall, when they saw the clothes of Ding Sihan and others, really did not come to chase and kill a few people. Ding Sihan and others hurriedly followed the army and captured the city wall. When Ding Sihan and the others came down, they found that there were few Qing army guards in the city gate. At this time, seeing the arrival of the Restoration Army, he hurriedly dropped his weapons and surrendered. The civilians who had come to attack the Qing army before also identified themselves, and then laid down their weapons and left.

The Restoration Army that rushed into the city gate cave did not care about them, leaving more than a dozen people to open the city gate, and the others ran towards the second city wall. All the way through Nengrenji Temple, Dabaoenji Temple, and then Changgan Bridge. Finally came to the treasure gate, and at this time, the treasure gate was already in a piece. Many of the defenders were wounded or killed, and their bodies fell into the city.

Seeing this, Ding Sihan and the others immediately understood that at this time, the guards were seizing the city gate. Immediately they asked people to find ladders, but one was not enough, so they tied two ladders together and prepared to climb the city wall. Just when Ding Sihan and the others were busy, the gate of Jubaomen was opened from the inside. When Ding Sihan and the others saw it, they hurriedly lost the ladder in their hands, and rushed into the city directly shouting angrily.

At that time, it was found that there was chaos on the taming gate, and Wei Du saw that the army had not yet entered the city, and it was not easy to attack the city gate immediately. So he drove the defenders of the city down from the city, and let them go to the elephant gate to guard the city. Who knew that Ding Sihan and their movements were too fast, and the Restoration Army attacking the city outside the city was not slow.

The defenders of the Jubao Gate have not yet left the city, and a large number of Restoration troops have already appeared on the Elephant Watching Gate. Seeing that the Madam Gate had been lost, the defenders here had no need to defend anymore, so they had to return to the Treasure Gate to defend. In this way, it was not easy for the guards to forcibly drive the defenders away, so they had to return to their defensive posts.

Despite this, Weidu still sent more than 30 people to the gate under the city, and then asked people to patrol the urn city. He also placed his own men in the middle of the defenders, so that when the next move came, he could deal with these defenders as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. The Restoration Army, which had captured the Elephant Sect just now, had already run all the way to Jubaomen under the leadership of Ding Sihan and others. Wei Du understood that the time had come, and suddenly gave an order, and all the Manchurian Eight Banners on the Treasure Gate moved one after another to kill the defenders around him.

Suddenly, the entire Jubao Gate was in chaos, and these defenders never thought that they were fortunate to be able to defend the city with themselves just now. I thought that I had a better chance of surviving, after all, the records of the Eight Banners of Manchuria were all there, and no one would believe that the Eight Banners of Manchuria had such a record and could be easily defeated.

But what they didn't expect was that these Eight Banners soldiers stood with them, and the hope of coming home was indeed even smaller. Now these Manchurian Eight Banners are attacking them, but they are not the slightest defense. Many people were killed in a daze, and then the corpses were pushed off the city wall. Of course, some people reacted and immediately raised their knives to resist. But where do these people dare to really kill the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but it is just to hide in Tibet to save their lives.

In this way, no one has the heart to take care of the Restoration Army under the city anymore. The Manchurian Eight Banners in the doorway also scattered the defenders here, and then quickly opened the city gates. More than a dozen people were left to protect the city gate, and the others passed through the urn city one after another to open another city gate, so Ding Sihan and the others waited outside the city for a while.

Now that the city gate has been opened, Ding Sihan and the others will not stay and rush straight to the city. The defenders in the city, at this time, only cared about avoiding the pursuit of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and no one cared about the Restoration Army in the urn city. The Restoration Army rushed directly into the inner city without any resistance.
