Cheng Dequn, who had already gone up to the city wall, heard someone shouting "the city gate is open", and hurriedly looked at the city gate in fright, and saw a large number of Qing troops beginning to rush into the city. Cheng Dequn led people to rush to the city to block the Qing army, but there were too many Qing troops. As soon as Cheng Dequn came down from the city, he was rushed back by the Qing army, and more than 20 people around him were killed by the Qing army in an instant.

Ma Tengyun in the city saw that the Qing army had entered the city, and he did not dare to rush down the city, so he led the people in the city to fight and retreat, and retreated along the city wall to the south gate. Fortunately, at this time, Yao Zizhou and Xie Shun came to the rescue with their men, which was able to stop the advance of the Qing army. But now it was stormed into the city by the Qing army, and the Qing army scattered and set fire to people everywhere. As far as the people led by Cheng Dequn came over, the Fuming army kept retreating, and had to scatter into various streets and start street battles with the Qing army.

Suddenly, the entire southern city fell into the shadow of swords and swords, and as soon as Cheng Bald, the general flag of the Restoration Army, turned around the corner with the soldiers, he saw a group of Qing soldiers chasing four or five soldiers of the Restoration Army. Cheng Bald didn't say a word when he saw it, he raised his knife and rushed over, shouting in his mouth: "Kill, you dog-day Qing soldiers, give Lao Tzu to death." Then he cut off half of the head of a Qing soldier with a knife, and the Qing soldier died on the spot. When the other soldiers saw the general flag, they all roared angrily and killed this group of Qing soldiers.

The few soldiers of the Restoration Army who were still fleeing before now saw the reinforcements coming, and they all turned around and killed the Qing soldiers. At this time, Cheng Bald had already killed three Qing soldiers, and there were more than 20 Qing soldiers who were chasing, but they were blocked by 50 or 60 Ming troops, and they hurriedly retreated when they saw that they couldn't beat them. Where could the people of the Restoration Army let them go, they all chased after them.

At this time, Cheng Bald grabbed the retreating Fuming Army and said: "What is the situation, why did the Qing soldiers come in so much." The soldier of the Restoration Army cried and said, "Where do I know, suddenly someone shouted that the city gate was opened, and then I saw a large number of Qing soldiers rushing in." ”

Suddenly, there was a question from behind: "How is the situation now?" Cheng Bald looked back and saw that it was Zhou Linyuan, the deputy thousand households, Zhou Linyuan's deputy thousand households were prepared by Zhu Dashan according to the position of political commissar in later generations, but as soon as the army was reorganized, Zhu Dashan himself went to Kuidong. Zhu Dashan didn't explain what the deputy thousand households did, so now the deputy positions of the thousand households have nothing to do. Zhou Linyuan in the south all day with the military law team to patrol around the city, just Zhou Linyuan went to the east gate to patrol, heard the west gate of the killing sound protrusion, hurriedly led people to hurry over, just arrived to see Cheng Bald drove away a team of Qing soldiers.

Cheng Bald saw that it was Zhou Linyuan and said: "I also just heard that the city gate was broken, and now the city is full of Qing soldiers." Zhou Linyuan said: "Do you know where Qianhu is?" Cheng Bald said as he walked forward: "I didn't see it, and the soldiers who fled didn't know either." Zhou Linyuan said: "Since I haven't seen it, I should still be in the city, collect the deserters, and press to the west of the city, as long as we are not dead, the southern city will not be lost." ”

Seeing Zhou Linyuan say this, Cheng Bald turned around and shouted to the soldiers next to him: "Raise the flag for me and let the retreating brothers come over." The person carrying the military flag next to him immediately raised the military flag high, and sure enough, the Ming troops who were scattered nearby moved closer to Cheng Bald. After a while, hundreds of people gathered, and Zhou Linyuan saw this and said, "Let's go to the West Gate." ”

There were still Qing soldiers rushing over, but Zhou Linyuan led more and more people to restore the Ming army, and actually gathered two hundred people, seeing that he was about to pass the West Gate, and suddenly found that on the street opposite the West Gate, the Qing soldiers were storming the street, Zhou Linyuan shouted: "Mr. Qian is still blocking this Qing soldiers, quickly press these Qing soldiers over, and attack the Qing soldiers from behind." Cheng Bald, who was following Zhou Linyuan, also shouted: "Brothers, kill the past and join up with a thousand households, and drive out these dog-day Qing soldiers." After speaking, he took the lead in rushing to the Qing soldiers.

At this time, the Qing soldiers retreated back at several other street corners, and it turned out that the Qing soldiers had been rushing into the southern city with all their might, but Cheng Dequn had been firmly guarding the street facing the city gate, so that the Qing soldiers could not continue to expand the results for a while, so they had to bypass from both sides. In this way, there were not many Qing troops entering the city, and the Ming army was frightened by the momentum of the Qing army's attack. It is said that the soldiers of the Restoration Army are also afraid of death, but the newly reorganized Restoration Army constantly reiterates the military law of continuous sitting. In addition, many of the people who came to guard the south were reorganized by the local people in the south, and this was the home, and there were officers at all levels watching and commanding behind their backs, so there were few people who dared to run, and those who dared to retreat were also cut down by the personal soldiers of the officers behind. In this way, the soldiers used their lives one after another, and as the officers at all levels of the Restoration Army commanded the counterattack, the soldiers who bypassed the Qing army were driven out one after another.

Wu Yiding saw that the city gate was opened, so he hurriedly ran to the back. He didn't want to be hacked to death by the rebels before Lu Guangzu fulfilled his promise, if he was cut down by this rebel, Wu Yiding would regret it. Looking at the Qing soldiers who rushed in, Wu Yiding turned around and hid in a private house. The family was lying by the window, watching in horror as they fought outside. Suddenly, Wu Yiding broke in, and a room of frightened people kept screaming. Wu Yiding yelled: "Shut up, if anyone dares to make a little more noise, I will cut whoever I want." ”

Although Wu Yiding did not hold a knife in his hand, Wu Yiding was a person who had been in an official position for a long time, and he had his own momentum. This family is originally an ordinary person, and now they dare not speak out again when they are yelled at by Wu Yiding. Wu Yiding saw that they were no longer silent, but he leaned on the window to watch the situation outside. I saw that Cheng Dequn was still holding the street with people, and more and more soldiers of the Restoration Army behind Cheng Dequn began to gather.

Seeing Cheng Dequn gradually stabilize the situation, Wu Yiding was very anxious, and thought that he had just asked someone to open the city gate. If Cheng Dequn defended the southern city, what he did would be discovered sooner or later. Just when Wu Yiding was in a hurry, he suddenly heard the shouts of the Ming army on another street. Seeing that the Qing soldiers kept retreating to the city gate, Wu Yiding saw that he didn't want to find a way to stay with the Qing soldiers and was going to be dared to go out. For a while, Wu Yiding was anxious in the room, and he was still muttering: "What can I do, how can this be good, if I am discovered, there will only be a dead end." ”

Suddenly, Wu Yiding heard someone shouting again: "Rush over and join the Thousand Households." Wu Yiding said with a fierce face: "It's all this Cheng Dequn, if he hadn't been guarding the street, the Qing soldiers would have rushed in a long time ago, and I would have to kill him." After saying that, he looked around the room for a knife, and finally found a knife for chopping wood in the kitchen, put it in his arms, and opened it and walked out.

The family didn't know whether Wu Yiding was a good person or a bad person, and now they were all relieved to see him walk out. The man in the family hurriedly closed the door, and then used the door to hold it tightly, and then sat down a little paralyzed.

Wu Yiding went out with this firewood knife in his arms to take a look, only to see the red eyes of the soldiers on both sides, Wu Yiding had seen this kind of scene, watching in the house just now and standing directly next to it, it was purely two experiences. I was scared and wanted to go back, but the door was pushed to death by the man in the house. At this time, suddenly a Ming soldier was slashed on the shoulder by the Qing soldiers, and the Ming army's arm was suddenly cut off, leaving only a little skin and flesh connected, hanging on the shoulder and swaying. After the Ming army was injured, he retreated again and again, but he tripped over the corpse on the ground, and fell in front of Wu Yiding with a stumble.

Wu Yiding was suddenly pounced in front of the wounded soldier, watching the blood on the wounded soldier's body gush straight out, and his entire upper body was soaked with blood in an instant. Wu Yiding looked at the scene in front of him, the Ming soldier was still howling in pain, trying to push the broken arm back and pick it up. Wu Yiding couldn't stand it anymore and let out a woman-like scream.

Cheng Dequn was commanding the soldier to guard the street entrance, when he suddenly heard someone screaming behind him, and he saw Wu Yiding, the prefect of Baoning. Cheng Dequn was busy commanding, and approached Wu Yiding and said, "You are a civil official, what are you doing here?" Get to the city. This is not where you should be. ”

Lu Guangzu saw that he had not been able to capture this street entrance, and a large number of Qing soldiers were blocked at the city gate. The Qing troops who bypassed both sides were forced back by the Ming army, and Lu Guangzu was also anxious. Seeing that he was about to fall short, he rushed to the front with his own soldiers and shouted: "Up, give it to me, capture the south without sealing the sword." When Qing Bing heard the words "do not seal the knife", he suddenly came to his senses. This is the three words "no sealing the knife" means that the lord will promise to slaughter the city, and he can grab money, food, and women as much as he wants.

The morale of the Qing army was immediately boosted by Lu Guangzu's, and the defense line of the Restoration Army was crumbling. Cheng Dequn saw that the Qing army was attacking all at once, and he turned around and was about to go up to resist. At this time, Wu Yiding was standing behind Cheng Dequn, who was willing to let go of this opportunity, took out the woodcutter in his arms, and slashed at Cheng Dequn's waist. Cheng Dequn and his personal soldiers didn't think about guarding against Wu Yiding, Wu Yiding's knife just happened to cut out of Cheng Dequn's armor, and a woodcutter immediately cut Cheng Dequn's waist with blood. Cheng Dequn looked at Wu Yiding in disbelief, speechless for a long time. Cheng Dequn's personal soldiers reacted and rushed over to protect Cheng Dequn.

Lu Guangzu saw Wu Yiding slashing Cheng Dequn, and shouted: "Kill, the general of the Ming army was killed, rush in." Many people in the Qing soldiers saw it, and they all immediately shouted loudly: "The master of the Ming army is about to die, kill." The Ming army, which was fighting with the Qing soldiers, heard the shouts of the Qing soldiers, and Cheng Dequn's command voice was gone, and their morale suddenly plummeted, and the defense line could not be held, and the Ming army retreated one after another.

When the Qing army saw the Ming army retreating, they immediately rushed up and killed the Ming army. Cheng Dequn's personal soldiers originally wanted to arrest Wu Yiding, but the defeated soldiers and Qing soldiers came like a flood, so they had to set up Cheng Dequn and go back. Lu Guangzu saw that Cheng Dequn was about to be rescued, so he was willing to let it go, and chased after him with the Qing soldiers. After a while, Cheng Dequn was caught up by the Qing army, and Cheng Dequn had no choice but to fight with Lu Guangzu with injuries.

Cheng Dequn was injured after all, and after a few rounds of fighting, he was knocked out by Lu Guangzu, and then there was a fierce split, directly cutting off several ribs in the chest, and even the internal organs could be seen. Lu Guangzu sent the knife forward again, wanting to stab Cheng Dequn in pair, but fortunately, the soldiers behind Cheng Dequn came over and pulled Cheng Dequn back. But Lu Guangzu's knife still stabbed Cheng Dequn's stomach, Cheng Dequn's personal soldiers saw that Cheng Dequn was so seriously injured, they didn't dare to let him stay in the south anymore, and under the desperate breakthrough of the personal soldiers, they killed and hurriedly fled to Baoning from the north gate.

Lu Guangzu saw that Cheng Dequn was rescued by his own soldiers and fled from the city. He did not chase after him, and ordered to quickly clear the Ming army in the city and then slaughter the city. The other Ming troops in the city did not know that Cheng Dequn was seriously injured and were still resisting, but with the Qing army's large-scale battle to dominate the city, the remaining Ming troops also knew that the situation was not good, and began to retreat outside the city.

Ma Tengyun retreated to the south gate, and found that the Ming Restoration Army in the city actually counterattacked, and the Qing army was slowly retreating, so he took people to counterattack back, and when Cheng Dequn was seriously injured and rescued from the city, Ma Tengyun wanted to withdraw again but found that there were more and more Qing troops around him. Relying on the guards to fight hard, he finally stood out and surrounded him, but he broke an arm, and took the guards around the east gate to meet Yao Zizhou who escaped, and the two saw that there were only more than 50 people around each other. I didn't dare to stay, so I turned into the trail and fled in the direction of Hexiguan.

With Cheng Dequn and Ma Tengyun out of the city, the Ming army in the city suddenly lost its command, although there was still a part of the Ming army under the command of Zhou Linyuan stubbornly resisted, but as more and more Qing soldiers surrounded it, the resistance of the Ming army was slowly suppressed, Xie Shun in order to let Zhou Linyuan out of the city, he stayed behind, and was soon hacked to death by the Qing soldiers. Zhou Linyuan also withdrew from the southern city from the north gate with only more than 100 people and the general banner.

Lu Guangzu saw that the generals of the Ming army had withdrawn from the south, and asked people to block the four gates. Then concentrate superior forces to clear the remnants of the Ming army in the city, and many local Ming troops hid in the homes of the people. Lu Guangzu didn't care, after an hour of purging, he finally completely wiped out the Ming army in the city, and then Lu Guangzu gave the order to slaughter the city.

The Ming army, which was originally hiding in the people's homes, thought that it would be good to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, but who knew that the Qing army would still not be able to escape from the slaughter of the city now. The south was completely boiling, and a painful sleepless night, countless men and children screamed and fell in pools of blood, and the old man was no exception. No woman in any family can escape the nightmare, and the Qing soldiers completely let go of the beastly nature and ruthlessly mutilate innocent compatriots.
