What an old dog, at this time, he is still thinking about cheating.

But Bolo was not interested, he knew very well what Wang Yan was like, whether he surrendered by fraud or by truth, the people below might still have a way to live, but he, the county king of the Manchu Dynasty, would definitely be killed by him to pay tribute to Longwu, so as to invite people's hearts.

Hong Chengchou frowned when he saw that he didn't speak, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The city is the former Ming Imperial City, Ming Taizu is extremely tall and strong, only stronger than the inner city, not weaker, more than 2,000 banners have been returned in the city, plus the coat, as long as there is time to prepare, it is not difficult to guard?" ”

Bo Luo was drunk by Hong Chengchou, and the whole person was shocked, this dog slave actually dared to yell at him, but he was not angry, but subconsciously asked: "The main force has been annihilated in Zainan City, can this person still hold the city?" ”

Bolo subconsciously asked, which showed that he actually didn't want to die, he was the king of the Qing Dynasty, and he couldn't wait to borrow another five hundred years from the sky to do more things for the Qing Dynasty, just like the current officials, who didn't want to serve the people for a few more years.

Hong Chengchou's words undoubtedly inspired his desire to seek business.

"There are few people, but the city is also small." Hong Chengchou walked in front of Bolo in a few steps, "The most important thing is that the city is full of garrison Eight Banners and family members, and there will be no civil strife." Once the Ming army breaks the city, it will inevitably be slaughtered, and the army has no way to live, so it can only desperately defend the city, so we should still have a glimmer of life. \u000b Self-immolation is death, death in battle is also death, Hong Chengchou, the old dog, even bluffing and deceiving, finally aroused Bolo's fighting spirit, his eyes were cold, gritted his teeth and said: "This time Jiangning City is broken, the key is to make chaos in the green camp, and now they are all their own people, and they can indeed defend it!" ”

"Today's city is broken, the people in the city are uneasy, the family members of the flag ding, the clothing has not been activated, and the equipment to defend the city is not sufficient, we need at least two or three days to prepare, so please ask Wang Yan to surrender and delay for a day or two!"

"I tried it once before, but Wang Yan didn't believe it at all, but this time Wang Yan can believe it?"

"Before, there were more than 40,000 people, and Wang Yan was afraid that we would cheat, but now that he has entered Nanjing, he will be proud in his heart, and he feels that Nanjing is already in the palm of his hand. At this time, if we surrender again, unless he is willing to die more, he will most likely agree to our surrender. ”

"In that case, this king will write a letter of surrender!"

In the city, the emperor's coffin was carried by Wang Yan and others, and soon came to Xihua Gate along Taiping Street.

The Ming soldiers, who swept away the remnants of the Qing soldiers in the city, began to assemble according to the military order.

The streets outside the city were full of Ming troops, and along the roofs of the city walls, they were also full of guns, shooting at the bannermen in the city.

Wang Yan and his entourage put the coffin outside the Xihua Gate.

"Emperor Daxing's coffin has been invited into Nanjing, but do you want Emperor Daxing to stop outside the imperial city?" After the coffin was placed, Wang Yan looked around at the army, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "My imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, how can I steal it?" Listen to this domain, order artillery, and bombard me fiercely at Xihua Gate, Emperor Daxing will enter the imperial city today! ”

"Take back the Imperial City!"

Wang Yan gave an order, and the Ming army shouted in unison.

Most of the siege equipment of the Ming army was higher than the door hole, and the siege towers and the like had to be demolished before they could enter the city.

Now what can be used to siege the city are the red-clothed cannons and ladders to climb the city, as well as the artillery carts placed by Hong Chengchou in the city, but this Wang Yan does not dare to use it, he is too short of money, and he has blown up the houses, yamen, and palaces in the imperial city, and he really has no money to repair them.

At this time, with an order, the red-clothed cannons transported into the city all roared in the direction of Xihuamen at the same time, and the fierceness and fierceness of the cannons almost reached the point of madness.

One by one, the cannonballs smashed on the imperial city, the gunners of the Ming army all opened their blood-red eyes, loaded the cannonballs into the chamber one by one, the burning flames, with the anger of revenge, rushed into the medicine room, and the artillery roared, shooting the cannonballs one by one to the city gate.

Under such a crazy and merciless blow, the fortified imperial city also seemed to be crumbling, especially the city gate in the face of direct artillery fire, and the upper half of the city had been beaten to pieces.

If it weren't for the Qing army, which blocked most of the city gates, the entire city gate would have been smashed open.

The bannermen guarding the Xihua Gate had just retreated from the inner city, and their morale had fallen to the bottom, and now they were facing fierce shelling, and they were trembling in the "booming" cannon fire and flying rubble, if it weren't for the fear of the Ming army slaughtering the city, they would have collapsed long ago.

When the shelling was fierce, Hong Chengchou and Bo Luo led a group of people to Xihuamen, among whom were Qiding, but more were clothed and even women.

When the group came to Xihua Gate, the first thing Hong Chengchou noticed was that half of the city gate was blown off, and he immediately knew that the situation was critical.

"The governor and the prince went to the city to drag Wang Yan, and you immediately organized people to bring in stones, and prepared to block all the doorways."

Hong Chengchou explained, hurriedly climbed the city wall, only to see the flags squatting under the female wall one by one, not daring to show their heads at all, if the Ming army attacked the city, I was afraid that it would not last long.

"Quick, white flag!" Hong Chengchou and Bo Luo squatted on the steps to go up the city, so they didn't dare to step forward, he hurriedly ordered a flag man beside him.

The tradition of playing the white flag originated in the Qin Dynasty, it is said that Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, the Qin State still worships black, and Ziying played the white flag opposite to the national color to surrender to Liu Bang, and this tradition has been handed down since then.

The white flag was already ready, and the flagman took the flagpole, rushed to the wall, stretched the flagpole out of the wall, and shook it.

The smoke and dust smashed by the cannonballs on the city rose and shrouded the city wall, and the Ming soldiers fought for a while, and an artillery instructor who observed the effect of the artillery bombardment found the white flag.

"Your Highness, the white flag is flying on the city, as if it is ready to surrender!" Chen Yujie, the commander of the artillery team, hurriedly ran over to report.

Oh, to surrender?

After Wang Yan heard this, he glanced at several generals and ministers, and he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Stop the shelling!" ”

If the Qing army is really willing to surrender, Wang Yan is willing to accept it, afraid that the Qing soldiers will die and the net will be broken, and more soldiers will be killed and wounded, but secondary, he has captured tens of thousands of green battalions that can be consumed, and he is more concerned about the palaces and official offices in the imperial city, these are the treasures of the Han people, if the Qing army burns down, I am afraid that it will cost tens of millions in the future, and it will not be built.

The artillery of the Ming army suddenly stopped, and the city fell silent, Hong Chengchou, Bo Luo and others were bold, waving their hands as they walked to disperse the dust.

"Please speak to King Hengyang of Daming!" Hong Chengchou held on to a wall that had been half wiped out by the cannonballs and shouted loudly.

The voice came, Wang Yan hesitated, or stepped forward, Lu Shikui wanted to stop it, but Wang Yan shook his head with a smile.

A group of Ming soldiers immediately climbed to the roof of an attic outside the Xihua Gate, and built a simple elevated highway on it, and an elite soldier hurriedly went up to observe the city to see if there was any Qing artillery, and after confirming that there was none, he immediately signaled safety below.

At this time, Wang Yan, under the protection of many sword and shield men, came to a hundred and fifty steps away from the city, this distance, there are shield guards, and it is clear that there is no artillery at the head of the city, so he basically does not have to worry about safety.

At the head of the city, Hong Chengchou looked at Wang Yan who was holding the moon with the stars, and sighed in his heart, young, he is really too young, he has been named the king of the county, not to mention in history, but it is unique in Daming.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable, a little jealous and remorseful, with his qualifications, if he didn't vote, now he is afraid that he is no worse than Wang Yan, but the key is that he voted and embarked on a road of no return.

(What, there are still seven or eight hundred words left, and I will fight for it tomorrow.) ）
