Chapter 364: Fierce Battle

More anxious than the governor of Jiangsu is a generation of famous ministers - Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu under the rule of the governor of Liangjiang are now only half of Jiangsu left, even if the Red Flower Society can be repelled this time, Mingde may be able to save a life, he is afraid that he should explain!

If you want to save your life, then it is not enough to repel the Red Flower Society, only by defeating the Red Flower Society, it is best to kill two famous thief chiefs in order to have a chance to save your image in front of Qianlong.

Mingde only wanted to hold Nanjing, and Yin Jishan not only wanted to hold Nanjing, but also wanted to counterattack, so now the opinions of the two highest-ranking officials in Nanjing City were divided, which caused the Nanjing defenders to be a little confused; I just received an order today that I was going to attack and attack the Red Flower Society's station, and I just got it sorted out and received a contrary order that it was strictly forbidden to attack, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Now the city of Nanjing is surrounded by the Red Flower Society, Lin Hu led his troops to start attacking the city from the Jubaomen in the south of the city, and the navy led by Su Changquan covered the Nanjing River with thousands of ships, besieging the city from Shangxin River and Xiaguan; Geng Chen led troops to harass Chaoyangmen.

The Red Flower Society divided its soldiers into several teams, and every day from dawn to dawn, they took turns attacking the city gates, and each squad fought for two hours before changing to the next team until dark.

At night, the Qing army will not be allowed to sleep peacefully, and the artillery of the Red Flower Society will fire shells at the Qing army camp in the city from time to time according to the firing unit marked with the help of the hot air balloon during the day. The Qing army, which was harassed and tortured every day, was miserable, could not fight and fight, could not sleep well, and even had to be ready to dodge the shells falling from the sky at any time when they ate.

After attacking for five or six days in a row, the will of the Qing army was almost exhausted, and some soldiers even began to snore against the city wall while they were defending on it, and then died under the bullets of the Red Flower Society snipers!

Today, the wind direction is just right, and the red flower will immediately take the opportunity to release a hot air balloon and sprinkle the snowflakes of persuasion documents into the city of Nanjing. These soldiers of the Green Battalion who were guarding the front line began to think in a fluttering mood.

"Big brother, we Han people are working the city wall, but those full people are hiding in the city to eat and drink spicy food! We're not fighting for them yet, and now they can't even eat a bite of meat, which is too bullying, right? ", camp corner. A general looked at the black nest head in his hand and said indignantly.

"And what else do you want?" , the person he called the eldest brother was listlessly gnawing on the nest.

"Big brother." , lowered his voice, looked left and right before saying, "When the Red Flower Club enters the city, let's descend!" I've heard people say that as long as they surrender, the Red Flower Society will not be too embarrassed. ”

"Cut, what are you doing with this picture, and who in this camp wants to sell their lives to those adults?" The eldest brother sneered, "I think that as long as the Red Flower Society enters the city, except for those Manchurian soldiers and the personal soldiers of the Governor and the Governor, the others will never fight with the Red Flower Society, you have to hurry up if you want to surrender then!" ”

During this time, the main direction of attack of the Red Flower Society has always been the direction of Jubaomen, Chaoyangmen and Xiaguan of the waterway, so the Qing army also transferred a lot of defenders from other city gates to these locations.

However, secretly, the Red Flower Society mobilized all the sappers in the army and dug tunnels near Yifengmen, after these days of hard work. The tunnel has been dug under the city wall, and thousands of catties of gunpowder have also been transported into the tunnel.

That night. Just as the soldiers near Yifeng Gate were sleeping soundly, there was a sudden earth-shaking loud noise, and the originally solid city wall was suddenly blasted open with a gap more than two zhang wide. Before the surrounding soldiers could wake up from the shock of the explosion, thousands of Red Flower Order soldiers slaughtered the breach.

"Brothers, kill!" , Yang Dazhu took the lead and rushed to the front with his regiment. Quickly rushing through the gap to control this strategic place in their own hands, the soldiers of the Red Flower Society continued to enter the city of Nanjing from here.

"You go along the city wall to both sides, hurry up and open the gates of other places, and the rest of the people will rush with me to take down Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, and Mingde, the governor of Jiangsu!" Seeing that the reinforcements were already in place, Yang Dazhu immediately led his regiment to the governor's palace in the center of the city according to the plan!

"My lord, now the Red Flower Thief has entered the city! Now that is the end of the matter, you should go! In the Governor's Palace, Yuan Mei, a staff member of the Governor who was only wearing **, hurriedly rushed in and said.

"There are still 100,000 elite soldiers in the city! How could it be so easy for the safflower thieves to break through the city! Yin Jishan gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly send an order to mobilize all the elite soldiers of our Eight Banners and go with this official to kill thieves!" Yin Jishan was born in Zhang Jia's family, and he is an out-and-out person with a yellow flag.

"My lord", Yuan Mei wanted to persuade again, but his next words were blocked by Yin Ji's fierce eyes.

After a while, Yin Jishan packed up, and quickly took his own soldiers out of the house to the nearby Eight Banners station, these old and young masters of the Eight Banners also organized the team, Yin Jishan pulled out his sword and shouted loudly, "Now that the safflower thieves have entered the city, those Han army green camps are useless, they can't be stopped, and Nanjing City can only rely on us now!" As long as you drive the safflower thief out of the city, the official will allow you not to seal the knife for three days! Whether it's gold or silver treasures or beautiful women, it's up to you! ”

"Kill!" , The bandit genes hidden in the blood of these Eight Banners disciples were stimulated by Yin Jishan, and they all rushed out of the camp after Yin Jishan with red eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, these robbers and the regiment led by Yang Dazhu met head-on, "Squat down in the front row and shoot!" The back row stepped forward and shot! Yang Dazhu didn't panic at all, and calmly issued an order, "Push the cannon up and change the shotgun!" ”

After a burst of gunfire, the forward of the Eight Banners Army was cut in two layers, "They need time to charge the medicine, let's rush forward!" Yin Jishan brandished his sword and urged them to step forward.

Ho, there are still some guts, now the distance is too close, and at most one round can be launched, Yang Dazhu sneered in his heart, don't think that you can win us by fighting bayonets! "One last round of shooting, and then ready to fight bayonets!"

After another burst of gunfire, these soldiers of the Red Flower Society flat-ended rifles and bayonets rose slightly, and rushed towards the Eight Banners in groups of three, and the two teams quickly became a group.

There were more than 10,000 Qing troops on the opposite side, and Yang Dazhu's men only had more than 1,000 people, but these people did not show any timidity, and rushed straight towards the enemy ten times their size, and dragged the more than 10,000 Qing troops here.

Half an hour later, the supporting army finally arrived, and the more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers suddenly lost their last ounce of courage and were quickly annihilated, while Yang Dazhu's men lost more than half! (To be continued......)
