The officers and soldiers above the guard gate suddenly became chaotic, and after a while, a white flag was erected on the city gate, and some people held the white flag and waved it vigorously.

When the guards pointed to the white flag on the head of the city to remind him, Li Xuanzhu raised his big hand and shouted: "Let the gunners stop firing!" The officers and soldiers of the city have surrendered! Send the order, immediately assemble towards the city gate, and be ready to break into the city and take over the city gate at any time! ”

As Li Xuanzhu gave the order, the cannons that had been firing non-stop immediately stopped firing, and the soldiers who were besieging the city quickly began to converge towards the city gate.

After a while, the Qian Zong named Wang Feng took control of the gate of the Jiagang Gate, sent someone to raise the outer jack gate in the city, and then opened the wooden gate inside.

A large number of Li Xuanzhu's subordinates who were waiting at the city gate immediately poured into the Jiagang Gate like a flood, rushed into the inner city of Nanjing, and in the shortest possible speed, helped the surrendered officers and soldiers, cleared some of the remnants of the officers and soldiers who continued to resist around them, took over the Jiagang Gate, and moved the surrendered officers and soldiers to the outside of the city to temporarily send people to resettle them.

At the same time, not only was the Jiagang Gate broken by the Xingtian Army, at this time, Li Shutang, the deputy general of Changde Mansion who guarded Fengtai Gate, had also announced his surrender.

And Zhang Yunlong, the general of Songjiang Mansion who guarded the Jinchuan Gate, suddenly ordered to arrest the prison army and some die-hard people sent by Ding Qirui to his army, opened the Jinchuan Gate, and put in the Xingtian Army, and then Li Xiandong, the general of the Huai'an Mansion who guarded the large and small elephant gates, also ordered to give up resistance and open the city gate to surrender to the Xingtian Army.

Only a few thousand generals guarding the fence gate did not surrender as promised, and the Xingtian Army later learned that these thousands of generals accidentally leaked the news in advance, and Ding Qirui learned that Ding Qirui then let these thousands of generals be arrested in advance and replaced with his trusted generals guarding the fence gate.

But Ding Qirui's efforts ultimately failed, a city is like a balloon, as long as one place is broken, then it will lose its airtightness, and it will soon collapse completely.

The officers and soldiers of several city gates rebelled almost at the same time, which caught Ding Qirui off guard, he didn't expect that he had arranged the Nanjing city defense for such a long time, and he didn't stick to it for a day after the Xingtian Army launched a general attack, and the outer city was declared broken.

But Ding Qirui still didn't die, but in the end he was stopped by his officials and family Ding, these people also knew that the outer city was finished, so they hurriedly persuaded Ding Qirui to retreat into the inner city, as long as the inner city was not lost, Nanjing City would not be lost.

Ding Qirui ordered all the troops to continue to block the Xingtian Army in the outer city, and at the same time, he fled into the inner city in a hurry under the escort of everyone, as for the officials and troops in the outer city, he didn't care about it!

Those officers and soldiers who stayed in the outer city were brave and good at fighting, not to mention that there were already many people who had secretly left a way back and were ready to surrender at any time, even the officers and soldiers who did not plan to surrender to the Xingtian Army, as soon as they heard that several city gates were broken, they all collapsed immediately, and no one thought of fighting with the Xingtian Army in the outer city, and then expelled the Xingtian Army from the outer city.

So some generals immediately ordered to abandon their defensive line, gathered their soldiers and horses, and quickly fled in the direction of the east of the city, opened the east gate and fled in the direction of Zhenjiang Mansion, and even many officers and soldiers knew that after the defeat, they did not forget to take a handful of them before leaving, and on the way to escape from Nanjing City, they broke into the homes of the people living in the outer city, looted a lot, and escaped from Nanjing with the soft things they had plundered.

For this reason, a considerable number of people in the city were plagued, and many people were killed by the rebels in order to keep their family wealth, and the city was completely chaotic for a while, and more officers and soldiers set fire to the houses in the outer city along the way in order to prevent the Xingtian Army from pursuing them, and the weather was dry these days, and many houses suddenly burned, and the outer city was even more ablaze, and the people ran in panic one by one, and the crying resounded throughout the outer city of Nanjing.

It took three days for the Xingtian army to control the outer city, and since the officers and soldiers wanted to run, they did not bother to chase them, but first controlled the situation in the outer city, while calming the people, while searching for the rout soldiers scattered in the outer city and did not escape, and also received a large number of officers and soldiers to surrender, and moved these officers and soldiers to the outside of the city to guard or break up and regroup.

The city of Nanjing is too big to be controlled, and a large number of people are organized to go everywhere to extinguish the fires lit by the rout, and after completely controlling the outer city and extinguishing the fires everywhere, it is already the fourth day.

Looking at the outer city of Nanjing, at this time, many places have become ruins, and a large number of people have been displaced, so they can only sit on both sides of the streets, or pick up their remaining belongings in the ruins, and there are cries of the people everywhere, and there is a sad scene everywhere.

Moreover, in order to prevent the Xingtian Army from controlling the outer city, the defenders on the inner city wall continued to bombard the outer city, and there was no distinction between the military and the people, and the outer city was a collapse of houses, which also caused a lot of trouble and casualties for the Xingtian Army, so that Xiao Tianjian's plan to take the inner city in one go was also delayed.

But even so, it is a miracle to be able to take down the outer city of Nanjing City so quickly, nearly 50,000 officers and soldiers did not hold it for even a day, and then lost the outer city, while the casualties of the Xingtian Army were few, and the casualties were less than 1,000 according to statistics, which made Xiao Tianjian very content.

After taking the outer city, Xiao Tianjian also entered the outer city, personally entered the largest city in the world today, and personally watched the situation of Nanjing City, when he saw the tragic situation of the outer city, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but sigh, the war is so cruel, the old forces will be destroyed, and the new forces will rise again, and such destruction is inevitable.

Seeing that many people in the outer city were displaced because of this, Xiao Tianjian ordered to reassure the people first, and moved the displaced people to the outside of the city to lend a group of Xingtianjun's military tents for temporary resettlement, and at the same time ordered the distribution of relief food, so that the displaced people could eat first, so as to avoid a large number of starvations, as for those whose homes were not destroyed, they also tried their best to leave home and go out of the city to hide, and if they really didn't want to leave, Xingtianjun also tried not to harass them.

In order to calm the people's hearts as soon as possible, the Xingtian Army also captured a large number of routs who took advantage of the chaos to plunder, and beheaded them everywhere in the outer city to show the public, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation in the outer city of Nanjing.

Sure enough, with the loss of the outer city, the Xingtian Army immediately faced the problem of hundreds of thousands of people opening their mouths to eat, Ding Qirui in order to control the officials and troops in the outer city, as well as to prevent the Xingtian Army from obtaining grain after seizing the outer city, moved all the grain in the granary in the original Nanjing area into the inner city, after the Xingtian Army captured the outer city, it would have to solve the problem of eating so many people, if it was not for the news in advance and made certain preparations, then even if the Xingtian Army captured the outer city this time, it is estimated that it will soon cause a large-scale famine, There is no problem in starving a large number of people to death.

Fortunately, Jiang Qin's group of people in charge of intelligence found out about this in advance, and before the Xingtian Army attacked the city, a large number of food were transferred from all over the country, so that they did not suddenly fall into an embarrassing situation.

After taking down the outer city, the Xingtianjun implemented a strict rationing system, each family according to the size of the population to give one to two catties of grain every day, although this bit of food is not enough, but boiled into porridge can at least let the people not starve to death, to ensure their minimum needs, at this point, the practice of the Xingtianjun was still welcomed by the people of Nanjing, and soon the panic of the people stabilized, and the matter of stealing and looting was quickly reduced.

Moreover, the Xingtian Army also told these Nanjing people that if they helped the Xingtian Army attack the inner city, they could also obtain more food to feed their families, so many of the people in Nanjing City began to help the Xingtian Army prepare for the attack on the inner city in order to have enough to eat.

By this time, the inner city had already stopped singing and dancing, and the shops on the streets and alleys were closed, including the brothels on both sides of the Qinhuai River, which had become depressed at this time, and everyone in the city began to worry about their survival.

Xiao Tianjian ordered the defenders in the city to be notified to give up resistance immediately and open the city gates to surrender, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties, and the Xingtian army could ensure the safety of their lives, including the officials in Nanjing, as long as they surrendered, they could ensure that they were not harassed and protect their family property.

However, this persuasion basically did not have much effect, and most of the Nanjing officials in the city did not believe Xiao Tianjian's words, they thought that the Xingtian army hated them and would definitely not spare them once they surrendered, so most of the officials refused to surrender.

So Xiao Tianjian had no choice but to continue to take a strong attack to conquer the inner city of Nanjing, after discussing with the generals, and actually saw the solidity of the inner city, Xiao Tianjian decided to give up attacking the strongest treasure gate in Nanjing City and other several of the strongest city gates, put all his energy in the direction of Dinghuai Gate in the north of the city, after some preparations, the final battle of Nanjing City finally began on September 10.
