Chapter 131

When the first arrow exploded in the air, Zhang Xiaojie, who was riding on a horse, stared at the Shence Gate in the distance, and his heart seemed a little uneasy.

"Deputy Commander, will Lang Tingzuo really transfer the troops back?"

Even as the deputy commander, Wang Fu looked a little nervous, he glanced at the Divine Sect, if the defenders of the Divine Sect were still there, how could they kill it with three thousand brothers? What should I do then?

"If he doesn't adjust, he has to be adjusted, and he has to be transferred, either the soldiers here will be transferred, or the military gate will enter from Tongji Gate!"

Although he was only a general in the past, he had accumulated a lot of experience in marching and fighting for many years, but he didn't know that the Qing army, which now had limited troops, had no choice at all, and when the two places were launched at the same time, they had no choice at all.

It's just that if the Qing army doesn't move, at that time, not only will it be difficult to attack the Shence Gate, but even if the military gate wants to attack the city all the way with 6,000 men and horses, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

It's good to be inside and out, but the key is ...... There aren't enough people!

Thinking of the people, he naturally turned around and looked at the camp of the Ming army, which was just a simple wooden barracks, not only stationed soldiers, but also the families of many generals, and the military discipline could be described as chaotic. But even if it is unbearable, there are still more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the forward battalion at the foot of Baitu Mountain, as long as they are willing to cooperate, then this Nanjing can be taken no matter what.

"It's up to Lord Zhu!"

Suddenly, there was a report from the soldiers.

"Report to the commander, the forward battalion is reorganizing the troops......"

It's done!

Wang Fu slapped his palm hard and screamed excitedly.

"Come on, prepare a gunpowder bag, as soon as the signal comes from there, immediately blow up the secret door and enter Nanjing!"

Perhaps, the explosives pack can't blow through the thick city walls, but it can easily blow through the hollow secret doors that are only a few layers of bricks. Perhaps it was because the Qing army at the Shence Gate had become accustomed to the laxity of the Zheng army outside the city, so that they themselves became lax, and when two soldiers who looked like mud instead of people with mud on their bodies sent the explosives box to the location of the secret gate under the city wall, the Qing army at the head of the city did not react at all.

In fact, they didn't even need to be so disguised, because the Qing army at the head of the city was already used to the Zheng officers and soldiers hanging out under the city, just as they were used to fishing in the nearby lakes and hunting in the mountains. In such a situation, how many people will remain vigilant?

Today, for the Qing army at the head of the city, everything was no different from usual, they were still the same as usual, just standing lazily on the head of the city, and did not pay attention to the movement under the city at all, at most, when this Ming army appeared, they looked at it twice, and that's it.

However, almost an hour later, the sudden sound of the horn in the city made the defenders in the area of the Shence Gate all startled, what was going on?

Could it be that the Zheng army is attacking the city!

Before they could react, the herald sent by the governor over there had already sent the order, ordering the defenders in the area of Shence Gate to rush to Tongji Gate immediately.

"Tongji Gate has been opened by fraud!"

After learning this news, there was no longer any need to supervise, and the Qing army guards of Shence Gate immediately summoned the garrisons around Shence Gate to rush to the direction of Tongji Gate according to the order, and only left only one battalion of soldiers in Shence Gate, that is, a battalion of soldiers guarding the head of the city.

"If we can't recapture Tongji Gate, we'll be finished!"

The green battalion soldier at the head of the city muttered in his heart, looking at the team rushing to Tongji Gate, and when he looked outside the city, his heart beat a drum secretly.

"If it's this time, these pirates are attacking the city......"

Before this thought could come to his mind, suddenly, a loud noise came from the direction of Tongji Gate, and the loud sound was like a thunderbolt from the sky, although it was far away, but it reached their ears directly.

"Well, it can't be a powder magazine explosion......

Looking at the smoke rising into the air, the defenders on the Shence Gate were all muttering in astonishment, and when their attention was attracted by the explosion of the Tongji Gate, they didn't notice at all that more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army had rushed to the base of the city wall of the urn city, and at the "secret gate" under the city wall on the other side of the urn city, the powder box had been lit.

"Brothers, enter the city of Nanjing!"

Without any hesitation, when the powder box at the secret door was on fire, Wang Fu, who had already taken the lead with a knife, led the troops to rush over, a distance of seventy or eighty zhang, and it was only a few breaths of effort.

"The pirates have attacked the city......"

I don't know who shouted first, but when the Qing troops on the city wall were preparing with knives and guns, they were all dumbfounded, and they only saw these people rushing over, but they didn't bring siege equipment such as ladders.

"What's this, what's this for? It's hard for them to climb ......"

Before the words fell, a loud noise came from the root of the main city wall on the side of the urn city, and with a violent explosion, the city wall was blown open a doorway, and when the choking smoke rushed to the wall, the defenders on the urn city were all dumbfounded,

The city, the walls of the city have been blown open!

"Quick, hurry up and open fire, Mr. Xu, you quickly lead the troops to block the pirates. If you don't go, you won't be in a hurry......"

There's no rush anymore!

Before the Qing army on the city gate could react, Zhang Xiaowu, who had been hiding under the city wall, immediately led hundreds of loyal soldiers to rush towards the choking smoke.

Although the smoke had not yet cleared, he still saw the door that had been blown open, and there was a bright light at the other end of the doorway, and the back of the secret door was indeed empty.

"Quick, quick, whistle, whistle ......"

Zhang Xiaowu shouted while rushing, the soldiers around him hurriedly picked up the pottery whistle and blew it, in the piercing whistle, the rear troops rushed faster, although the Qing army in the city desperately loaded the gunpowder into the Hongyi cannon, but when they loaded the gunpowder, before they had time to rush into the cannon, the officers and soldiers of the three thousand loyal and righteous army had already rushed into the dead corner of the Hongyi cannon on the city wall, and when they were swarming towards the doorway that was only eight feet wide, Zhang Xiaowu had already led the troops to kill in, and he almost ran into a Qing army head-on.

"Kill ......"

A muffled roar burst out of his throat at the same time, and the bayonet stabbed into the chest of the Qing army, and until this time, the Qing army's face was still with a look of shock, and he didn't even understand until he died, how these Ming troops opened the secret door so quickly and entered the city.

When Liu Bowen built the Nanjing city wall and deliberately left this secret door, it was always only used as a passage for the defending troops to attack Nanjing, I am afraid that even he himself did not expect that one day, someone would attack Nanjing from this secret gate.

"Kill in, don't stop, kill ...... in the city"

When he stabbed the Qing army to death, before Zhang Xiaowu could pull out his spear, he was already shouting for the brothers to attack the city, as long as they captured the city, they would win the battle......
