When the army marched forward, Li Dingguo quickly issued one order after another to the generals in front, re-stipulating the order of entering the city and the direction of attack after entering the city, so as to prevent the various departments from competing for merit and goods in the city and messing up. At the same time, he was also mobilizing follow-up troops from various front-line departments to avoid stalemate in street fighting, and it was clear that he wanted to completely crush the Qing army in Xinhui in one breath and not give them any chance to turn the tables.

Orders were given one after another, and as they went, the various divisions began to adjust their speed in order to facilitate access through the gap.

A moment later, Wu Zisheng's right battalion was in front, Guo Mingming's strong crossbow battalion was behind, and Wang Xing's battalion leader was close behind, and these three soldiers and horses formed the front of the army to break the city. And Chen Kai's Fubiao is in the second echelon, but it is not pointing to the gap, but it is going straight to the city gate - there is only a distance of twenty or thirty meters between the gap and the city gate, once the Ming army enters the city, the first thing is to capture the north gate, so that more troops can enter from then on, accelerating the reversal of the forces of both sides in the city.

Chen Kai has already understood that Li Dingguo is like a god in using soldiers, and even his subordinates Wu Zisheng, Guo Youming, and even Wang Xing understand the truth.

The drums of war roared, and the Ming army marched forward in great strides. The movement outside the city can be faintly heard inside the city, and even the city can be seen very clearly. However, the smoke and dust blew away, and in the large area near the blasting point, the buildings were damaged by the force of the explosion, and the flying bricks and stones were broken, and there were corpses lying in pools of blood everywhere, and everywhere were the feudal soldiers, green battalions and auxiliaries who were beaten to broken bones, and there were terrible screams everywhere, and from time to time one or two faint cries for help would emerge from the burial.

The surrounding area is like this, the section of the city wall above the explosion point no longer exists, the Qing army near the left is gone, and further away, some survived, but most of them were shocked and fainted to the ground. When I arrived at the north gate, it was also a piece of staggering, and my face and body were covered with thick dust, which had long since concealed my original color. Blood seeped out from the inside out of the mouth, nostrils, and even under the eyes and ears, and rivers flowed through the dust on the face.

Inevitably the power is not enough, Chen Kai specially put two coffins in, each coffin is made of oil paper moisture-proof, filled with Chaozhou production of purified granulated gunpowder, in terms of power, Chen Kai believes that even the same amount of medicine is by no means comparable to the impoverished Ming army in western Guangdong, and Li Dingguo, who has never been good at military science and technology. This is the power of science and technology, and it is never for fun!

How did the Ming army do it, some people have already touched some doors, but more are still ignorant. However, in any case, now that there is a section of the city wall missing, the most important thing at the moment is to block the city wall as quickly as possible to prevent the Ming army from entering, which is the real key.

The distance was farther away, and some of the officers who were less affected had already reacted, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to rush towards the gap. On the way, I caught every Qing army I saw, but the more I ran to the gap, the fewer Qing troops survived, even those who survived, all of them were buzzing in their ears, dazzling, as if their brains had become paste, where could they still understand what military orders.

Time faded away with the masonry that continued to loosen and slide off the city walls. For either side, every second counts.

The first Qing army to rush to the gap was a group of fifty or sixty feudal soldiers, followed by twenty or thirty feudal soldiers, green battalions, and even auxiliaries who were dragged along the road. The officers of this group of feudal soldiers were Wu Jingong's subordinates, and he was able to react quickly, but he was not far away, so he was less affected, and he had more advantages than other Qing troops in terms of distance.

The officer looked sideways, from Yunlong's forward command post, the famous restaurant in the north of Xinhui City had been bombarded by bricks and stones, if it weren't for the fact that he had come here to forcibly collect food and wages, he had a deep memory of the boss's eight or nine-year-old daughter, so if he remembered the location of this place, he was afraid that he would not be able to recognize it.

After Li Dingguo arrived, You Yunlong has been sitting here, and now that he has become like this, it is conceivable what his situation is.

However, time was pressing, and the officer did not bother to search for and rescue the commander, nor did he have the time to rejoice that his commander Wu Jingong had gone to the Han army flag commander riding on his head. Just as he led the team to rush to the gap, a rushing Ming army team was colliding with them, and there was not even a momentary stunned, and they were immediately slashed into a ball!

The topography of the gap is not much different from the two sides inside and outside the city, at most the city wall is controlled by the Qing army, and they have the opportunity to attack from above using masonry, bows and arrows. However, the power of the blast was poured directly on the city wall, and the Qing army on the city wall was shocked much better than the city wall, even if they were not injured in the explosion, they basically fell to the ground in a daze, and the reaction speed may not be as fast as the Qing army under the city. What's more, due to Chen Kai's tactics, Yunlong did not send too many Qing troops to the city at all, and there were more observation posts in the city, which was extremely limited.

The focus of the attack and defense of the city has changed from the battle for the city wall to the battle for the gap, the Qing army is desperately coming, and the siege troops from the Ming army are also constantly increasing their troops there.

The two sides fought hard, and immediately there was a river of blood, but the blasting was aimed at the city, and the damage to the defenders was huge, and soon, the rapidly increasing Ming army killed the Qing army and retreated, and after a while, even the control of the gap changed hands.

The fake siege troops and the real assault team broke through the Qing army in the gap, quickly expanded the control area, and made up for every Qing army they saw. Immediately afterwards, there was no longer any formation, and the Wu Zi Sanctuary Department, who had almost arrived by running, was the first to approach the gap and rushed in. With Wu Zisheng's general order, the soldiers of the right battalion of the brigade rushed to the north gate, and the others cooperated with the assault team to clear the Qing troops on the left, and even rushed to the city wall from the remnants of the cable-pulled wall of the gap and the city ladder on the inner side of the city wall.

The opening changed hands, and the next thing was the north gate, and the assault team, with the cooperation of Wu Zisheng's personal soldiers, made a decisive attack, quickly captured the north gate, and killed the Qing army near the left. The gate was opened, and the Fubiao front camp that had arrived at the city was holding a spear of five feet and five feet, marching into the formation with neat steps, and pointing directly to the county government of Xinhui County along the main road under his feet.

The Qing army that first rushed to the gap had already turned into corpses, but the officer was very experienced, and when he organized his subordinates to control the gap, he did not forget to send someone to report to Wu Jingong.

However, Chen Kai was mentally arithmetic or unintentional, and no matter how fast Wu Jingong reacted, it was no faster than the distance advantage of the commando. When he reacted, he organized troops to counterattack in the barracks, but even Wu Zisheng's right battalion had already rushed into the gap, and even before he could rush out of the camp gate, even the north gate had been opened by the Ming army.

Fangcai's blasting was damaged and affected not only by the blasting site and its nearby areas, but also by the entire Xinhui County.

There is a large mansion in the city not too far from the county government, and if you can live here, you are naturally a local rich family. It's just that the garbage is everywhere in front of and behind the wall, and near the left of the gate, and even the two lanterns on the gate are only a dilapidated one, which really spoils the word rich and noble.

This is the house of Mo Zhilian's family in this county, and the Mo family lives here. This family, relying on the preferential treatment of the Ming Court, has accumulated a great family business. There are shops and workshops in the city, fields and houses in the countryside, a large number of servants and maidservants, and even sea ships to sell the goods purchased and home-grown to the South Seas.

Such a family is extremely influential in the local area, even if it is a Baili Hou like Zhixian, he must be given enough respect in the local area. The world is like this, the Mo family is like this, in the Qing Dynasty, Huang Zhizheng, the magistrate of this county, has always attached great importance to their senses. However, with the siege of the city, or even the arrival of the feudal troops in May, the norm of these hundreds of years is completely uncountable.

The feudal soldiers are subordinates of the palace and the bannermen of the Han army, and they are extremely bitter to the people of the county, even their squires and the big clans in the city are not exempt. Mo Zhilian endured the ordinary grain levy, and later intensified it, forcing his family to produce more goods.

That time, Mo Zhilian just went up to reason with the officer a little, and even just made a start for bargaining, who knew that those feudal soldiers did not hesitate to beat him up. If it weren't for the fact that the family came up with more money and food, I am afraid that I would have been beaten to death by the feudal soldiers in my own house at that time.

For this reason, Mo Zhilian made a special trip to the county government and begged Huang Zhizheng to say one or two things to You Yunlong and Wu Jingong for him. How do you know that Huang Zhixian also has a sad face, and he can't control it at all. Look at those officials again, there are even a few people with blue noses and swollen faces, and you can know who did it without guessing.

The feudal soldiers were arrogant, which Mo Zhilian had never imagined. does not explain the preferential treatment of the gentry, only that Li Chengdong's tiger and wolf divisions arrived in Xinhui, and he does not say what to do with a rich family like them. As long as you follow the government, whether it is from the Ming Dynasty or from the Qing Dynasty, there are always benefits, where have you ever seen such a scene.

lamented the apocalyptic atmosphere that even the intellectual class was not respected, and he could only support the rampant conquest of the feudal soldiers. The goods of the family are supplied, the city is besieged, and even if there is still in the country, they cannot be sent in. In order to be able to survive, he can only continue to reduce his expenses, and even now, the servants in the family have been dismissed, and there are only some children left, and he is already thinking about throwing them out of the door to ask for more blessings, and this idea continues to swell in his mind as time goes by, with the consumption of food at home.

The servants were dismissed, and he also asked the people to reduce their activities as much as possible, so that they could save more food. The house was in a dilapidated state, littered with fallen leaves, garbage, and even excrement. But the men and women of this rich family seem to have become accustomed to this stench. In other words, they don't necessarily smell much better than the garbage.

At least, it's dirty, it's better than the Lu Xiucai family in the east of the city who was killed by the soldiers and brought back to make bacon!

Today is another siege of the city, Mo Zhilian climbed the library building as usual, looking at the north of the city. No one knows what kind of thoughts he has, whether he is looking forward to the arrival of Qing army reinforcements, whether he is looking forward to the Ming army being defeated by Yunlong, or whether he is looking forward to the Ming army capturing the city. But for months in a row, he was like this, what he saw was the same, but he never changed, and what he sought was nothing more than a hope.

Sitting in front of the window, looking at the whole morning, even he was already sleepy, lying on the desk in front of the window and confused. However, a loud noise came, shaking as if even the library building was shaking, and even if Mo Zhilian woke up and looked up again, it was still smoke-filled near the north gate, and a stream of turbidity rushed straight into the sky.

"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"

He stood there stunned until the smoke cleared, and he could vaguely see the gap in the cracks between the pavilions.

The city collapsed. Mo Zhilian's state of mind was also as if she had been smashed by a boulder, but she just stood there, keeping her eyes wide and her mouth wide, and just drank the cold wind mixed with blasting dust in her stomach, and she didn't even have time to spit out the dust and dregs, so she swallowed it in one go.

By this time, the fiery red weapons of the Ming army had been erected at the gap, and the Ming army of the brigade poured in, and soon even the north gate was the same. Mozhiline couldn't see what was written on the flag, but the color was a testament to the current situation.

Seeing this, Mo Zhilian ran down the library building with a crawl, and immediately gathered his clan and the few remaining servants, and looked at these men and women who could barely stand, and he immediately told everything he had seen and heard. It's just that the reaction is far slower than he imagined.

"Uncle, does this mean that those feudal soldiers will not come to rob us again?"

It took a long time for a distant nephew to say this timidly, and even if it caused a sensation, it was even hundreds of times more violent than when he learned that the Ming army had entered the city.

Informed, it was just one of them, Mo Zhilian hurriedly ordered the silence and assigned the children of these clans the task - most of them were to find some wooden sticks or something as weapons to guard the mansion. But there are also some who have to rush to find other gentry and old friends as soon as possible, and there must always be a common spirit to deal with the next changes.

The Mo family acted quickly, and the other big clans and gentry families did the same. But at this time, the speed of the Ming army's action was far faster than theirs, and the Ming army of all departments quickly entered the city, and the city was surrounded on all sides. As a result, he rushed onto the street with his troops and horses, as well as other feudal soldiers and green battalions gathered, and directly bumped into Chen Kai's Fu Biao.

The dense phalanx, the Ming army fought in formation, with the psychological advantage of a large army entering the city, the victory or defeat was decided, and soon broke through the already fearless feudal soldiers, and even launched a cruel pursuit next to the alleys in the city.

The Ming army had already entered the city in a big way, and the various units rushed to various areas of the city according to Li Dingguo's command. In the midst of the rout, a feudal officer lost his weapon and pulled the Han army flag uniform on his body as he ran.

He has been in battle for a long time, and he has not escaped once or twice when he is defeated, and he has long been familiar with it. Under normal circumstances, it is nothing more than trying to escape from the city, but now that the city is so tightly surrounded, it is impossible to get out of the city.

Broken by the fubiao, which was mostly a phalanx of spears, the officers fled with their way. It's too close, it's not good, you have to run far, find a cat, there is a bigger chance. In this way, he fled all the way, and was almost hit by the Ming army entering the city several times, and turned around and turned outside the wall of a square lane south of Dongyu Street. At this moment, in the direction where he came, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and the officer did not care to look for it again, and stepped on the stick of a donkey cart without a donkey, and directly climbed into the wall.

Just like the people in other alleys, the earth-shattering explosion woke up the dormant here. Within the walls, the people walked out of the door in panic, forming small groups with their old friendships, whispering.

Whether the defenders broke the Ming army outside the city, or the Qing army's reinforcements arrived, the two sides should join forces, or the Ming army broke the city, these are not the most important things to them - they are all starving to death at the moment, where do they still care about what is beside them. I just hope that peace will be restored as soon as possible, there is work to do, food to eat, and I can support my family, what do you dare to ask for?

"It's a pity that Lu Xiucai's family, what a good person, although he has a bit of a bad temper, but he also gave my stupid son two times of literacy."

"Yes, and his lady, who is polite to everyone and doesn't put on a show at all."

"Hey, good people don't live long."

As he spoke, there was a thud on the north wall, as if someone had fallen from a height. The gate was closed, and the people were frightened, and hurriedly blasted their families back. However, there were a few who were naturally bold, each of them boosted their morale, and they searched for it with sticks.

It was naturally the officer who fell from the wall, and he was also in a hurry, and he accidentally fell from it, and directly fell down, spraining his left foot.

Inevitably, there was too much movement, which alarmed others, and he gritted his teeth and refused to speak. Listening carefully, soon, a Ming army rushed through the streets and alleys outside, shouting and screaming to kill at the east gate.

The danger outside had passed for the time being, and the officer breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the sound of footsteps in the workshop was heard. Still alarmed others, the officer couldn't help but curse secretly, and hurriedly dragged his left foot to find a hiding place, where to dare to delay for a moment.

The officer's front foot left the side of the wall, and the men on the back foot came looking for him. After determining that someone had flipped in, they couldn't help but start worrying about their families. However, for many years, the head of the workshop has not been seen up, and outsiders have always been in the same spirit, seeing this, several men immediately chased down the traces.

After several months of siege of the city, coupled with the rampant conquest of the feudal soldiers, it is not to say that cattle, sheep, pigs, donkeys, cats, dogs, even sparrows and mice have been eaten. The officer here was afraid that a dog would find him by following the smell, but those men had lived here since childhood, and they were far more familiar with the environment here than he was, so they chased him all the way after him.

The officers did not dare to hide, so they had to flee by the way. But behind him was chased by a group of people who were familiar with the environment, and he was not too familiar with it, so he ran in a panic and ran to the alley where everyone was whispering.

There was no one on the street, but a pair of eyes were looking through the crack in the door. An outsider came in, and soon, someone noticed the style of the official boots he didn't have time to change, and his voice "The feudal soldiers are coming" caused a burst of crying. However, the frightened cries soon passed, as if to reflect the current reality of the Ming army's entry into the city, more and more doors opened, and men and women came out with sticks, kitchen knives and so on, and soon surrounded the officers on the street with the group of men who were chasing them.

"It's him, he came to forcibly recruit on weekdays, and he killed Lu Xiucai's family!"

With a scream, the officer who was still looking around in horror fell to the ground. He never thought that this ghost had escaped to this place, and when he turned his head, he saw that the Lu Xiucai family where he killed people and transported the corpse was not the same alley he had just turned into this street?

"Slaughter this beast and avenge Lu Xiucai's family!"

The Ming army has entered the city, and the Qing army in the city is finished, and at this moment, the enemies are very red when they see each other, and these people who are not strong hear the words, even if they rush up, they surround the fallen officer in the middle. In the terrible screams, strings of blood beads and pieces of flesh flew out of the crowd, and from time to time, some people withdrew, holding a severed limb and a piece of flesh in their hands......
