Outside the Qilin Gate, Chen Yue was anxious on the horse, how could the battle be like this? Thinking that the defenders had surrendered, who knew that it was a trick to lure the enemy!

Who is to blame? Father, think about how he is in danger now, and how to complain.

In this case, knowing that you have been ambushed, it is best to withdraw the army from the city first, and then think about attacking the city. But my father is in the city, what will he do if he withdraws his army?

So knowing that he was ambushed, Chen Yue could only grit his teeth and fight, even if he suffered heavy casualties, he had to attack the city!

"Master Hou, I'll lead the troops into the city!" Yu Feng ran back with the cavalry and asked Chen Yue for orders.

", the city is full of houses and streets, and it's under siege by enemy troops, can your cavalry run?" Chen Yue's face was gloomy, and Yu Feng suddenly didn't dare to say more.

"Master Hou, Xianhemen has surrendered, and Vice General Jin has already entered the city!" A horse came from the north and reported to Chen Yue, which made Chen Yue overjoyed.

"Really?" Chen Yue forced his surprise and asked.

"Really, Vice General Jin has entered the city, and the entire Xianhe Gate is in our hands."

"Hahaha, hahaha." Chen Yue laughed, he really had the intention to plant flowers and unintentionally plant willows and willows! I thought that the Qilin Gate would surrender, so I put the main force of the Pingnan Army here, although I knew that this side was a fraudulent surrender, and the Xianhemen did not attack and surrendered.

"Order Jin Shenghuan to lead the headquarters to march towards the Qilin Gate and attack behind the defender Liu Zeqing!" Chen Yue ordered at the visitor, looking at his back as he rode away, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Jin Xinbu has all entered the city, Li Yiying is also entering, plus the teaching battalion has a total of more than 4,000 people, and an ambush has been set up in the city, it is impossible to easily destroy these 4,000 elites, as long as Jin Shenghuan leads the troops to attack him, the two-way flank attack will be able to break the defenders.

The enemy army in ambush must be the main force of Liu Zeqing's army, as long as Liu Zeqing's army is defeated, the entire Nanjing will surrender without a fight!

"Yu Feng, you can enter the city with your subordinates, enter the city from the Immortal Crane Gate, and clear the defenders all the way!" Chen Yue ordered that since the Xianhemen had been captured, he could send cavalry to quickly enter the city to attack all sides and put pressure on the defenders.

When Yu Feng's cavalry galloped north, Chen Yue himself took the personal guard battalion and followed into the Qilin Gate.

......

Jin Shenghuan's attack on Xianhemen was very dramatic, it was originally a feint, he pretended to put the troops away, hundreds of regimental training soldiers carried seven or eight ladders to the city wall, and when the slightest arrow fell on the city, he hurriedly retreated. Then Jin Shenghuan sent archers, under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers, and launched a confrontation with the city, and the arrows on both sides were lively, but there were few casualties.

After a while, the gate of Xianhemen suddenly opened, which startled Jin Shenghuan, thinking that the defenders were going out of the city to attack, and when he was about to order the archers to retreat, he found that there was only one person out of the city, a scholar in a robe, and a white flag in his hand.

"In the subordinate Hou Fangyu, on the order of Lord Qian Qianyi, I came to welcome the general into the city." The scholar named Hou Fangyu had a smile on his face and said to Jin Shenghuan.

"What's going on?" Jin Shenghuan had a big word written on his head, how could he have surrendered yet.

Hou Fangyu explained to Jin Shenghuan in a soft voice, it turned out that in addition to the more than 500 guards guarding the Xianhe Gate, there were more than 2,000 township soldiers, and these township soldiers were all recruited by Hou Fangyu on the orders of Qian Qianyi with a group of gentry, and the civil officials sent to guard the gate were also students of Qian Qianyi, a member of the Donglin Party.

So not long after Jin Shenghuan's army attacked the city, the civil officials guarding the gate called the military general to the city tower and forced him to surrender with a sword.

"Lord Qian, when he heard that His Majesty had returned to the south safely, he burst into tears of excitement, he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, how could he continue to serve the rebel King Fu, so he secretly ordered us to recruit strong men as an internal response."

Hou Fangyu said in Jin Shenghuan's ear, claiming that it was all under Qian Qianyi's order to dedicate the city.

"Lord Qian understands the righteousness and will admire it. I should go into the city and meet me face to face. Jin Shenghuan hurriedly said, as a military general, he naturally knows that these civil officials can't afford to offend, since Qian Qianyi is willing to belong to his own side and has made great contributions, he will definitely be reused by Chongzhen in the future.

"Teacher, he is now guarding the Chaoyang Gate in the inner city, and he is still waiting for the imperial army to attack the city, and the Chaoyang Gate should be opened to welcome the army." Hou Fangyu said.

"Lord Qian is really a loyal man!" Jin Shenghuan sighed. Then he took more than 3,000 regiments to train troops into Xianhemen, accepted the entire city defense, and sent people to report to Chen Yue to wait for the next order.

When he heard that the main force was actually ambushed by Liu Zeqing's army at Qilin Gate and fell into a trap, Jin Shenghuan left part of the army to guard Xianhe Gate and led most of the troops to attack in the direction of Qilin Gate.

Hou Fangyu volunteered, and also followed behind with 2,000 villagers, to help the army deal with Liu Zeqing.

......

Chen Yue entered the Qilin Gate, took over the command of the entire army, and ordered everything to be transported to the city, and the muzzle of the cannon was pointed directly at Liu Zeqing's army. Liu Zeqing's army was launching an attack on the Pingnan army, which was within the range of artillery.

In order to facilitate the march, the artillery of the Pingnan Army was placed on the artillery cart, and under the drag of hundreds of soldiers, it was successively transported along the horse road to the head of the city, smashing the female wall into a gap, and the muzzle of the cannon was directly facing Liu Zeqing's army.

Dozens of artillery pieces fired continuously, and the shells fell directly into the rear of Liu Zeqing's array, and the solid shells rampage with huge kinetic energy, and the place where they passed was a mess. In fact, the power of the solid cannonball is not great, not even the tiger squat cannon, but the momentum is too terrifying, looking at the sparse bodies of their companions who have been smashed by the cannonballs, the other soldiers are all terrified.

"Attack Lao Tzu! Kill them all! Liu Zeqing, who was commanding in the back, had red eyes, and jumped to his feet and shouted loudly. More than 10,000 people besieged the enemy army that entered the city, several times the enemy's strength, and still couldn't take it, which made him not angry.

For Liu Zeqing, he has no way to retreat now, he can't defeat the Pingnan army in front of him, and the only thing waiting for him is defeat, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo are his end. Therefore, Liu Zeqing, who has always fled when encountering a strong enemy, burst out with great courage and personally urged his troops to attack.

However, seeing that more and more enemy troops entered the city, the morale of his soldiers gradually declined, and they were bombarded by the city's artillery, and many people had already had the idea of escaping.

At this moment, the shouting of killing was loud, Liu Zeqing Huo Ran looked up, and saw an army coming from the north, and a large banner embroidered with "Pingnan Hou Chen" in front of the team was waving in the wind.
