After saying that, he ignored the persuasion of the other soldiers and ran directly into the city. I want to take the opportunity of the report and not meet with Wei Du and the others first. As soon as Wang Dagong left, the defenders who stayed here did not dare to disobey the orders of the guards and others under the city, so they had to hurriedly go down to the city to open the city gate.

Wei Du and others are under the city, and they are anxious about how to deceive and open the city gate. And suddenly the gate of the city was opened, and all the hearts of the people rejoiced. But the guards still led the men up, raised their whips and beat the soldiers who were defending the city. He also scolded in his mouth: "You dogs, you dare not let us Manchurians enter the city, do you want to rebel?" I'm going to teach you a good lesson today, even if I kill you, it's not a pity, I see who dares to intercede with you, and how much backer you have. ”

These guards were beaten by the guards and others and rolled all over the ground, but none of them dared to fight back, not even to escape. Seeing this scene, Wei Du seemed to have returned to the past, and he was running rampant in Beijing. But then the shouts of killing woke Wei Du up.

Wei Du looked back and found that there was chaos outside this Tongji Bridge, and countless people were running around. He also shouted: "The thieves have entered the city, flee for their lives." And Hu Yiqing and others, who had just entered the school ground, also rushed out of the school with a large army.

The regular soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way back to attack Shangfangmen, and received Wang Xing and others outside the city into the city. All the way to Tongjimen, it is estimated that he wants to take over the Weidu and control Tongjimen. When Wei Du saw it, he immediately pretended to shout: "Hurry up to the city to defend, don't let them attack you." "The Manchurian Eight Banners, who were still at the gate of the city just now, whipped the soldiers guarding the city, and immediately went to the city wall.

There were only a hundred guards at the city gate, and now they were whipped by the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and there were about thirty people rolling on the ground. The others did not dare to approach, so they could only watch from afar. Now when he heard the roar of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, he suddenly did not dare to be careless, and returned to his posts one after another.

Maybe it's because the Eight Banners of Manchuria have been erected in these years, and the image of Manchurian invincibility has been too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people who were still watching the excitement from a distance just now. That is, the people of the inner city are still watching the excitement there through the city gates. I wasn't scared at all, I felt that now that the Eight Banners army was defending the city here, the army outside the city couldn't attack the city at all.

Seeing this situation, Wei Dudang was overjoyed. In this situation, as long as the army enters the city, these panicked people can become a boost for the Restoration Army to attack the city. Once they panic and run around, they will definitely be able to disrupt the formation of the defenders in the city.

Wei Du was planning in his heart, but now it was the right thing to control Tongjimen. Immediately, the guards led people up to the city tower and said to the defenders here: "Everyone goes down to meet the enemy, and this place is left to our Eight Banners to defend." Hearing Weidu's words, all the defenders were stunned.

Now let them out, isn't that sending them to death? But looking at the menacing soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty under the city, all the defenders did not dare to disobey. Only one of Wang Dagong's personal soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that Wei Du and others were not paying attention, went directly to the city to report to Wang Dagong.

Others were forced by the identity of Wei Du and others to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and did not dare to resist. had to go down to the city tower one after another to go outside the city, but at this time, Hu Yiqing had already rushed over with the army and was passing through the Tongji Bridge.

These garrisons in the city did not see Hu Yiqing's army, and divided a part of them to attack Shangfangmen. Looking at the Hu Yiqing army rushing over, I thought that they were here to defend Tongji Gate. There were only more than 100 of these defenders, and they all stood on the side of the road to make way for Hu Yiqing and others.

Seeing this, Hu Yiqing ignored it and just ran to Tongji Gate. After Hu Yiqing entered Tongji Gate with the army, he immediately asked the army to control Tongji Gate, and then divided his men and rushed to Shuimen and Zhengyangmen to control these city gates.

Previously, the people thought that Hu Yiqing's army was an army attacking the city wall, but now they found out that they were also a military place to defend the city gate, and suddenly many people began to disperse. But there are still many people, looking out of the city from the city gate, as if they are still hoping that the army outside the city will attack.

Weidu saw that Hu Yiqing divided his army and captured several other city gates. Immediately rushed to the vicinity of Jubaomen with people, because now, Weidu had faintly heard the sound of shouting and killing near the Elephant Taming Gate, and it was estimated that Zhu Youdong also arrived with the army. Wei Du crossed the water gate and ran directly to the treasure gate.

When the guards arrived at the Jubao Gate, the first city wall of the outer city was already in chaos. The guards of the Jubao Gate were already in a panic, and they were always planning to abandon the city gate and run. Now seeing that Wei Du came to support with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, he hurriedly said: "General, there are thieves attacking in the outer city, I think they may not be able to hold it, and there are already many thieves who have climbed the city wall." ”

Wei Du looked at the first city gate, and sure enough, someone was already fighting on the city wall. Immediately shouted at the Jubaomen guard: "Fart, why can't you hold it, you go to support immediately, you must defend the city wall." When the guards here heard this, they were dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Wei Du drove them to the outer city to defend the city. Suddenly, he said: "General, we went to the outer city, what should we do with the treasure gate here?" Whoever will guard it, Lord Governor, let us defend the treasure gate. ”

Wei Du waved his hand and said, "You go to the first city wall to defend, let us defend it here." Hurry to your aid, if the outer city is lost. I'm going to ask you to make your whole family die. The guard had no choice but to call his men and hurry down to the city. Now that these Manchurian Eight Banners are here, no matter how big the grievances are, he has to endure them first.

Just now, Wei Du and the others saw the chaos on the elephant gate, of course, it was not Zhu Youdong who had already attacked the city wall with his army. The Restoration Army came all the way, where could they bring large weapons to attack the city. Attacking the walls is not an easy task at first sight. The panic just now was exactly what Ding Sihan and others had done.

At that time, after Ding Sihan and others left the brigade of Weidu, they moved to the area of Dabao'en Temple. When they arrived here, Ding Sihan and the others were dumbfounded, Nanjing City was too big, and they didn't know which gate to go to. In desperation, Ding Sihan and others had to ask passers-by what the city gates were in the west of Nanjing.

Ding Sihan and others inquired for a long time, and finally inquired, and they also knew that after the arrival of the Restoration Army. Most likely, the three gates of Andemen, Little Andemen and Mamakomi were attacked. It was thought that these three gates were closest to the west, and that if there were any other gates, it would be far away, and the terrain was not conducive to siege.

After hearing this, Ding Sihan and the others decided to stop near the Xiao'an Gate for a while and observe the situation of the three city gates first. Since they were all dressed in Manchurian Eight Banners, no one dared to come up and ask. What's more, there is an artillery battle going on in the north of the city now, and everyone is paying attention to the battle in the north of the city. No one came to pay special attention to Ding Sihan and others, and when they came to Xiao'andemen leisurely, several people went directly to the city wall to check.

Although some people were curious about the behavior of Ding Sihan and others, no one dared to come up and ask. Ding Sihan and the others were divided into several groups, and a team of three or four people walked on the city wall, constantly looking out of the city. Just when a few people were waiting anxiously, Ding Sihan suddenly saw a large number of soldiers appearing next to Nanhe.

It was the army of the Restoration Army that appeared, and when they saw that the army had finally arrived, several people wanted to laugh out loud excitedly. But now that they were surrounded by defensive soldiers, several of them had to endure the excitement in their hearts. And then the casual ones are still wandering around, but in fact they have already begun to assign guards who have to be dealt with by themselves.

As the Restoration Army outside the city got closer and closer, the defenders of the city finally discovered the situation. Suddenly, many people yelled, and said, "Oh no, there is a thief army attacking the city, go and report to the governor." Hearing this roar, the defenders immediately became busy, and many people began to shout for the soldiers under the city to close the door quickly.

Some people hurriedly went to find the gong, and were about to beat it, but Ding Sihan stopped him and said: "You can't knock it, if you knock it now, the enemy troops outside the city will know, and they will definitely attack the city immediately." When the time comes, if the reinforcements don't come, will the more than 100 people here be able to hold the city gate? ”

When the general defending the city heard this, he felt that what Ding Sihan said made sense, and immediately asked, "What should I do then?" If we find that the enemy army does not warn, we cannot afford to blame the warlords. Besides, if we don't call in reinforcements, we won't be able to hold it. Ding Sihan said: "We can't beat the gong, but we can send someone to inform the reinforcements." We are now sending someone to inform the defenders of the city and ask them to come and support them. ”

The general who defended the city said, "That's a good idea. Then he pointed to a soldier and said, "Hurry into the city and inform the Governor, that they can send reinforcements quickly." Otherwise, as soon as the enemy forces outside the city attack the city, we will not be able to hold it. The soldier hurriedly agreed and ran into the city.

At this moment, there was already a shouting of killing near Shangfang Gate, and when the general heard it, he immediately rejoiced: "Fortunately, I didn't strike the gong just now, it turns out that there are enemy troops near Shangfang Gate who are attacking the city." If we strike the gong and the enemy troops everywhere come to attack the city together, our Jiangning City will really not be able to defend it. After speaking, he looked at Ding Sihan gratefully.

Ding Sihan said: "Don't be careless now, look at the Ming Restoration Army outside the city, there are no less than 30,000 people." If we force the siege, we will not be able to hold it. What's more, the vicinity of Shangfang Gate is also being attacked, so it's hard to say if you can send us reinforcements. If they also have a lot of Restoration troops on their side, where do you think the Governor is sending reinforcements? I look at Nanjing City this time, I'm afraid there is trouble. ”

The guard said: "Yes, there are only a few thousand troops in the city, and the last time the pirates came to attack Jiangning City, if it weren't for the reinforcements sent from all over the city, we wouldn't be able to defend Jiangning City at all." As soon as he finished speaking, the general reacted, and after a "huh", he asked, "Where are you from?" What are you doing, why haven't I seen you? ”

Ding Sihan said: "You don't need to worry about it, don't you see that Lao Tzu is a Manchurian?" You're just a Han dog, and you still want to take care of my business? As he spoke, he patted the Eight Banners military uniform on his body.

When the people around heard that Ding Sihan was the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they were all in awe. No one dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction with Ding Sihan and others. Even the generals who asked just now immediately trembled and said: "It turned out to be the Eight Banners of Manchuria, who is small and not long-eyed, and he collided with the adult, and please beat Haihan." ”

He said and said: "What the Lord said just now is right, if the Restoration Army attacks the city now, there will be more than 100 of us here, and Nanjing City ......." Speaking of this, the general was stunned for a moment, and then repeated again: "Nanjing City, no, I changed Nanjing to Jiangning early in the morning, why do you still say Nanjing City?" Also, the enemy forces outside the city haven't been notified yet, how do you know that they are the Restoration Army, no, the Restoration Army. ”

Ding Sihan looked outside the city and found that the Restoration Army was almost under the city, and he could even see the faces of the Restoration Army under the city. When he smiled: "What's so strange about this, Jiangning is the name of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course I want to call it Nanjing." Lao Tzu is the Restoration Army, of course I know that they are the Restoration Army. ”
