As the city gate in the south of the city was opened from the city by the Restoration Army, the entire south gate was declared broken. Suddenly, countless soldiers of the Restoration Army roared and rushed into Zhenjiang City. Immediately, a large number of roars sounded at the east gate, and then the flames also soared into the sky.

Seeing that he couldn't hold it, Jin Weifan took his personal soldiers around him and urgently retreated to the city. Prepare to use the streets of the city to engage in street battles with the Restoration Army. Who knew that as soon as he retreated two streets, he was blocked by a group of people on the opposite side. Jin Weifan looked at it, but it was Mao Yilin, the prefect who went to recruit the people.

Jin Weifan was overjoyed and said: "Governor Mao, hurry, how many people have you recruited there, hurry up and let them come forward to block the Ming army." Mao Yilin cried: "Oh, my General Jin, where can the people come now." I was driven over by those Diao people, and there were a lot of Diao people behind me. ”

It turned out that Mao Yilin went to those big families and wanted to forcibly escort the strength of their families to defend the city. But the soldiers brought by Mao Yilin were still strong yesterday. There are also a lot of servants inside, so these people dare to do it. Mao Yilin's troubles made a big fuss.

And the people in the army, as soon as they talked about the situation in the city just now, suddenly these = squires and big households, decided whether the Qing soldiers really couldn't hold it. Then when the other squires heard the news, they also brought people to reason with Mao Yilin. This comes and goes, and both sides are angry.

After a few clicks, someone began to push Sangsang's. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Mao Yilin suddenly said: "You are so bold, aren't you afraid that the Qing Dynasty will settle accounts with you in the future?" "Mao Yilin originally wanted to use the imperial court to suppress the momentum of these people. I didn't think about it, this Jiangnan person really can't just use the court to suppress it.

During the Ming Dynasty, these people were able to organize the closure of the market to confront the imperial court. Although the Qing Dynasty is powerful, but now the Qing army can't hold the city, and they can still be suppressed there. It's a big deal to kill them all, and when the Qing Dynasty comes back, it will be said that the besieging army will dare, and it has nothing to do with us.

It's really not good, and when the time comes, I'll spend some money and settle this matter. As long as there are people, the money can be earned back. Immediately, someone shouted: "The dog official surnamed Mao, it's better not to scare us with this official skin, we can't be scared casually." You went on a rampage in Zhenjiang, stirring up the anger of the people, and were killed by the rebels besieging the city. ”

Hearing this, many squires immediately understood the meaning of their master's family, and immediately pounced. Mao Yilin saw that the situation was out of control, so he had to withdraw from the crowd in embarrassment, and then hurriedly ran to the city with his own people. As a result, it was here that he met Jin Weifan, who also fled for his life.

Jin Weifan was shocked when he heard Mao Yilin say that he was driven over by Diao Min. looked behind Mao Yilin, and sure enough, he saw a large number of figures shaking. I also heard someone shouting: "Kill these Qing soldiers and kill Mao Yilin, a dog official." They do not defend the city, but only come to plague our people, and let our people die. ”

Then I heard it again, as if there were other people, and they also roared angrily: "Kill Mao Yilin and drive away the Qing soldiers." And after this time, the Restoration Army behind Jin Weifan was also shouting: "The Ming Dynasty King enters the city and does not hurt the people." Someone else shouted: "Zhenjiang City is broken, kill all the dog Qing soldiers." ”

For a moment, Jin Weifan felt that there were voices everywhere that wanted to kill him. Hearing these voices, Jin Weifan didn't care about asking about Mao Yilin's situation now. directly took his own soldiers, regardless of Mao Yilin's life or death, and ran directly to the West Gate. Seeing this, Mao Yilin immediately scolded: "Jin Weifan, you bastard, you don't care about Lao Tzu now." At the beginning, you called Lao Tzu to forcibly recruit the people to defend the city. ”

Before Mao Yilin finished scolding, the people behind rushed over. And the Qing soldiers who followed Mao Yilin couldn't take care of Mao Yilin at this time, and they ran away for their lives in an instant. Mao Yilin was a literati, and the people who ran after him ran there, and he was caught up by the people behind him after not running a few steps.

Suddenly, Mao Yilin shouted and begged for mercy: "Folks, it's not me who wants to force you to defend the city, it's the idea of the two bastards, Jin Weifan and Shi Shanhua. If you want to settle accounts, go to them. He shouted and scurried around with his head in his hands. But the people who are chasing after you don't recognize what you say now.

Immediately the people gathered around and beat them indiscriminately. When the Fuming army that entered the city arrived, they saw this group of people gathered here, and thought it was the Qing army, and they immediately stepped forward to attack. The people here saw that it was not the Qing army who was coming, so they shouted: "Siege soldiers, we are the people of the city." Mao Yilin, a dog officer, helped the Qing soldiers beat you. We can't see it, we've already beaten him to death. ”

Yang Ming, who rushed to the front, met him, and immediately made people come forward to take a look. only to find that Mao Yilin had been beaten out of shape, but he just looked at the official uniform on his body. The Restoration Army, who stepped forward to check, turned around and shouted: "Commander Yang, this person is an official, but he is out of breath." ”

Yang Mingyu believed what these people said, and hurriedly said: "Since you are the people, hurry up and go home, now that the Ming King has entered the city, don't run around in the city." Otherwise, in the chaos of the army, if you are killed by mistake, it will be difficult to say. Immediately, these people knew that the army that was attacking the city outside the city was the army of the Ming Dynasty, and it had already entered the city. Busy said: "General, don't worry, we will go home immediately and don't run outside." ”

Seeing these people leave, Yang Mingyu saw the direction and immediately attacked the west of the city. Along the way, the resistance of the Qing soldiers was already very weak, and there was no formed Qing army to stop it. Yang Mingyu was overjoyed and said, "Brothers, work hard." The Qing soldiers can't resist anymore, and now there are no Qing soldiers in the city. ”

Suddenly, the other soldiers of the Restoration Army also rushed to the west of the city with shouts and shouts. Jin Weifan took a few personal soldiers and ran wildly all the way, not daring to stop at all, and soon ran to the west city wall. And Shi Shanhua, who commanded the defense at the West Gate, heard the shouts in the city and found that the situation was not good.

Now that he saw Jin Weifan running over alone, he suddenly said urgently: "What's the matter, why is there a shout of killing in the city?" Jin Weifan hurriedly said: "General, the south gate is lost, and the Ming army has attacked the city." General, let's go quickly, if we don't leave, it'll be too late. ”

Shi Shanhua's expression froze, with a look of disbelief, and said: "How is it possible, how long has the South Gate been attacked, how can it be lost?" Jin Weifan said: "General Shi, you don't know. There were many Ming troops attacking the south gate, and they didn't want to be killed as soon as they came up. They didn't leave us any chance at all, and by the time I went, there were already a lot of Ming troops in the city. I led the army to resist desperately, but I held out for less than half an hour before the Restoration Army attacked the city. ”

Shi Shanhua was a little distracted and said, "Could it be that Zhenjiang really can't hold it?" Jin Weifan said: "General, let's go quickly, it's too late if we don't leave." Listen, the Ming army in the south of the city is already coming this way. And just now I ran into the prefect of Mao, who was being chased and killed by the people in the city. Now it is estimated that there is a lot of bad luck, after all, he doesn't have a few soldiers in his hands at all. ”

As soon as Jin Weifan's words fell, a Qing soldier ran over and said, "General, it's not good, Prefect Mao's mansion was killed by the Diao people in the city." Shi Shanhua was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter, why was Governor Mao beaten to death?" Jin Weifan stomped his feet and said, "Oh, my General Shi, when is it now." You still care about this, look at the situation on the city wall. ”

Shi Shanhua listened to Jin Weifan's words and turned his head to look. Sure enough, there are more and more Restoration troops on the city wall. The defense of the Qing army is also becoming more and more difficult, and the defense line on the city wall is constantly retreating, and the city wall is about to be lost. And the Qing army, who was defending the city, heard the constant shouts of killing in the city. Suddenly they were also flustered, and they had no intention of going on the defensive, and everyone was constantly looking into the city.

Seeing this, Shi Shanhua knew that he could no longer hold Zhenjiang, and immediately said: "Quick, let's go north of the city and go out of the city through the north gate." Jin Weifan said: "General, can you go out through the north gate now?" Shi Shanhua said: "Now we have no choice at all, if we go to the east gate, we will immediately meet the Ming army from the south gate, and we can only go to the north gate." ”

Jin Weifan thought about it for a while, and immediately ignored the Qing soldiers on the city wall. directly took more than 200 people around him, and immediately followed Shi Shanhua to the north gate. The Eight Banners soldiers in the city, after hearing the movement in the city, were always paying attention to Shi Shanhua's movements.

Now I saw Shi Shanhua running away, and he was sent down to the city with the surrounding Qing army. Suddenly, the other Eight Banner soldiers shouted one after another: "Run, defeated, the Qing Dynasty is defeated." Then they followed Shi Shanhua and the others and ran desperately to the city. And when those people saw such a situation, they didn't dare to run at all. knelt directly on the ground and shouted: "Master Jun, spare your life, we won't fight." We are the people of the city, and the Qing army forced us to defend the city. ”

The army, which was still desperately resisting just now, suddenly ran backwards. The Restoration Army didn't pay attention at all, and still desperately rushed to kill. Some of the people who knelt on the city wall were better, and many of the people who knelt and surrendered, because they were in the middle of the city wall, just blocked the route of the Restoration Army's charge. Many of the Restoration Army didn't have time to stop, and they directly hacked a lot to death. When the people behind saw it, they also fled desperately to the city.

For a time, the Qing soldiers no longer resisted at all, and just fled to the city. And the soldiers of the Restoration Army roared angrily: "Chong, the Qing army has been defeated, and the Qing army has run away." Others shouted: "Go into the city, and it will be broken." The Restoration Army behind them desperately rushed to the city wall.

Ma Bao, who was still in the city, heard this. Jumped up directly, and roared towards the city: "Quick, rush into the city, kill all these Qing soldiers, and avenge the dead brothers." Kill. At this time, there were Fuming troops who rushed into the city, and they came back and opened the city gates. Suddenly, the Restoration Army outside the city poured into the city like a tide.

Suddenly, the roar of the Restoration Army resounded throughout the west of the city. The Qing army, which had already run down the city wall, followed Shi Huashan and others and ran desperately all the way to the north of the city. Yang Mingyu, who had just come from the south gate, saw that the Fuming army in the west of the city had entered the city. also led the army to follow Shi Shanhua and others to the north gate.

Along the way, seeing the scattered Qing army, the Restoration Army did not surrender at all, and directly hacked to death on the side of the street. Soon, Yang Mingyu took the army and came to the north gate. The entire north gate was empty. There was no Qing soldier at the north gate, Yang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly heard the sound of a fight outside the city.

Rushing out with the army, it turned out that there was a Ming Restoration army fighting the Qing army outside the city. Yang Mingyu didn't care whose army it was, but as long as it was the Qing army, it would be right. Immediately joined the battle with the army and besieged the Qing army. The Qing army, which was fighting with the Restoration Army here, saw that the Restoration Army here had not been blocked. Now there is another army of Restoration of Sight, and they dare to stay there, and they suddenly stop fighting, and they desperately flee after abandoning their opponents.

At this time, the general of the Restoration Army, who had blocked the Qing army, came over and found Yang Mingyu. Yang Ming saw that it was really Ma Bao's subordinate Chen Erxi. Chen Erxi said: "General Yang, this group of Qing soldiers is powerful, it is estimated that they are the Eight Banners soldiers in the Qing army, and they must not be allowed to escape." ”
