On the city wall, Chang Shunhou, the commander of Lingnan, was inspecting the city wall, and suddenly saw countless figures rushing up to the city tower.

"No, these people are wrong, they're destroying the drawbridge cables!" Chang Shun yelled in shock.

Originally, he saw thousands of figures rushing up the city wall, and he was surprised that he could see the clothes of the Ming soldiers inside through the raincoats worn by these people, but then the actions of these people immediately made his eyes widen, these people were actually using knives to chop the iron cables of the suspension bridge, there is no doubt that these people must be rebels who should cooperate with the Qing army.

The ropes of the drawbridge were quickly broken by the rebel soldiers, and the huge drawbridge smashed the other side of the moat.

"Kill, take back the tower!" Chang Shun then pulled out the saber at his waist and led the Ming soldiers around him to kill along the city wall in the direction of the city tower.

Although there were more than 10,000 Ming soldiers on the city wall, they were distributed on the city wall hundreds of meters long, and all of them were flanking in the direction of the city tower at this time!

The two sides fought fiercely, and although the tens of thousands of Ming soldiers on the city wall were quickly killed after Chang Shun, the iron cable that pulled up the suspension bridge had already been cut, and it was impossible to put the suspension bridge away.

Under the city, the Qing army, disguised as the Ming army, has already removed most of the stones blocking the city gate, and the city gate is about to be opened, and the situation is critical.

"Kill" The shout of killing came from the sky, it turned out that the movement here at the city gate alarmed the Fourth Army of the Yinglong Army stationed more than 300 meters away from the city gate, Yan Yingyuan took the Fourth Army of the Yinglong Army and another 20,000 Ming troops, a total of more than 30,000 people.

Together with more than 10,000 people on the city wall, nearly 50,000 troops attacked from many sides, but unfortunately, although the Qing army pretending to be the Ming army only had more than 10,000 people, it was not so easy to defeat.

"Oh no, the gates are being opened immediately!" Yan Yingyuan was immediately shocked when he saw that the rebels had cleared the stone pile blocking the city gate and were opening the city gate.

On the city wall, Chang Shunhou also recaptured the city tower, but unfortunately it was too late!

"Boom"

"Killing" outside the city, the war horses galloped, and in the heavy rain, countless Qing army iron horsemen killed at the city gate.

"Stop the Qing army from entering the city!" On the city wall, Chang Shunhou roared, and the soldiers bent their bows and arrows and shot at the Qing army's iron cavalry that was killing towards the city gate.

More than 3,000 arrows form a rain of arrows to cut through the raindrops in the sky.

"Ah" But nearly 100 Qing soldiers were hit by arrows, and there were only 30 or 40 people who fell from their horses.

In the heavy rain, the power of the bow and arrow was also greatly weakened, unless tens of thousands of arrows rained out together, it was difficult to pose a big threat to the Qing army's iron cavalry that was rushing towards the city gate.

The speed of the Qing army's war horses galloped very fast, and the two white flags of the Manchu Eight Banners took the lead and took the lead in entering the city.

"It's over! The Qing army has entered the city! "On the city wall, Chang Shunhou's face is gray.

"Ying Longjun blocks the Qing army!" Under the city, Yan Yingyuan roared and led more than 10,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army to storm with the intention of driving the Qing army out of the city.

As the first elite of the Ming Dynasty, although the flintlock pistol in the hands of Ying Longjun was limited by heavy rain, it was impossible to load in the rain after firing an ammunition in the gun, but Ying Longjun still had bayonets in hand, and everyone dared to fight, killing tens of thousands of rebels and retreating.

Ying Longjun is fighting with two white flags!

After the fierce battle lasted for half a pillar of incense, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army of the Yinglong Army were defeated and retreated.

Ying Long's army is not weak, but the Manchu Eight Banners are also not weak, even without the assistance of war horses, the Manchurians' individual combat power is slightly stronger than Yinglong's army, after all, they can destroy Korea with 5,000 people, 40,000 people can make the entire Mongolia submit, and in just over half a year, they defeated the elite existence of Li Zicheng's million-strong army! Moreover, with the first wave of the two white flags entering the city, hundreds of thousands of troops such as the other eight banners, Mongolians, and Han flag troops came one after another!

After nearly 3,000 casualties, the Fourth Army finally could not withstand the continuous attack of the Manchu Eight Banners, and was broken through the defense line by the Qing army.

After the defense line of the Yinglong Army was broken through, the 20,000 ordinary Ming troops behind were directly defeated by the Manchu Eight Banners and collapsed.

The Manchurians did not entangle with the Ming army that was defeated and collapsed and the remaining Ying Long army, and they kept killing towards the center of the city, which was the direction where Zhu Cihong was!

"Protect the Emperor!" Yan Yingyuan was covered in blood, even if it was raining heavily in the sky, it couldn't wash away the blood stains on his body!

The defense line has been broken through by the Qing army, and after realizing that it is impossible to drive hundreds of thousands of Qing troops out of Cheng, the only purpose of the Ying Long army is to protect the emperor!

Yan Yingyuan took the remaining more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army to fight and retreat, retreating in the direction where Zhu Cihong was.

At this time, the other three gates also received the news of the great change in the West Gate, and the Qing army entered the city, and the Ying Long army and the Ming army soldiers guarding these gates all gathered in the direction of the West Gate and the emperor.

In the city of Xuzhou, there are scenes of battles between the Qing army and the soldiers of the Ming army, and the blood stains the entire Xuzhou city with the rain!

The Qing army was not entangled with the Ying Long army and the Ming soldiers along the way, and went straight to the emperor's camp in the center of the city to kill, the goal was very clear, that is, to capture the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong as soon as possible!

"Protect the Emperor!" Huang Degong and others undoubtedly discovered the purpose of the Qing army, and they all gathered in the center of the city to protect the emperor.

In Xuzhou City, in the central camp, Zhu Cihong heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"Newspaper"

"The West Gate has changed dramatically, more than 10,000 rebels have opened the West Gate, and the Qing army has entered the city and is killing here!"

"What!" Zhu Cihong stumbled, he couldn't believe it!

Zhu Cihong's face was extremely pale, no matter what, what he didn't expect was that under the successive victories of the Ming Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of rebels who defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, did they want the Ming Dynasty to perish so much! Do they want to be the lackeys of the Manchus and betray the nation so much? The traitor should be cut with a thousand cuts!

Not to mention Zhu Cihong, even Chang Shunhou and Yan Yingyuan, who fought with the rebels for the first time, have not been able to tell whether the more than 10,000 people who opened the West Gate are rebels or the Qing army pretending, but the West Gate has been occupied by the Qing army, and the situation is extremely critical!

"Your Majesty!"

"Xuzhou has been broken, please move the emperor immediately!" Huang Degong and Zhang Kuishan were the first to run in with several generals.

The west gate of Xuzhou was broken, hundreds of thousands of Qing troops entered the city one after another, and it was difficult to resist the Qing army with less than 100,000 soldiers and 200,000 ordinary soldiers left in the city.

"Shift?" Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth, if he left, it would mean that Xuzhou would be defeated, hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Ming Dynasty would be lost, Jianghuai would be surrendered to the Manchus, and even Jiangnan would not be protected!

"I'm not leaving! Xuzhou must not be lost! Zhu Cihong roared, walked out of the hall, let the rain drench his whole body, he wanted to go outside to watch the battle!
