The battle in Nancheng lasted for nearly an hour, and the gap was already filled with the corpses of the two armies.

At the height of the battle, the Ming army rushed down the gap, but was eventually blocked by the Qing troops who continued to rush in to reinforce the newly built low wall.

After a long time, the impact of the Ming army became a little weak, and the Qing army was driven back out of the gap.

Hong Chengchou just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and a member of the Qing generals climbed up to the city tower and shouted hoarsely: "Governor! Big things are not good! Ma Jinbao is anti-water to help Ming! Attacked the water gate, and the five loyal troops entered the city! ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, there was a bang in his head, and he was shocked that the three souls lost two souls.

Hit the trick! Hit the trick! Good for you, Wang Shiheng! Good for you! Hong Chengchou instantly understood in his heart, he said that the attack of the Ming army in Nancheng became more and more decadent, and the attack became softer and softer, it turned out to be a feint attack at all, to attract his attention, and to attack the east and break through the west city.

Hong Chengchou couldn't wait to beat his chest, but he didn't breathe well, and almost passed out.

The general next to him was quick and supported his shaking body, so that he did not faint.

"Governor! How good is that! What a good thing that is! The Qing generals asked in a rambling manner.

The main forces have been transferred to Nancheng, the water gate has been broken, they don't have to think about it, Xicheng must be finished.

Hong Chengchou heard the generals ask him like headless flies, but what could he do, his face was blue for a while, he didn't say a word, and after half a ring, he suddenly struggled to break away from the Qing general who was holding him, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and lead the troops, recapture the water gate, and drive the Ming army out!" ”

The generals looked at each other when they heard this, and thought to themselves, after all, the Water Gate is the Water Gate, and it is inconvenient for the soldiers to enter and exit, maybe the Ming army has not yet entered many people.

"The last general is going now!"

Lang Tingzuo hurriedly clenched his fists, and was hurriedly ordering troops, and another red-armored Niu Lu with crooked armor, such as Fang Cai, who was several times better than the one in a hurry, suddenly knelt down, and cried: "Lord Governor, the Sanshan Gate is lost, and Jin Gushan is martyred in the Qing Dynasty~Woo woo~"

What about Jin Li's death? Hong Chengchou's eyes were dark, and Lang Tingzuo hurriedly protected him again.

The Sanshan Gate was lost, and the commander of Xicheng, Jin Li, died, and the city of Nanjing was broken.

Does it still make sense to defend the southern city now? The generals were at a loss, Hong Chengchou cheered up a little, seeing that none of these people were insightful, and they were going to be angry to death by this group of rice buckets, he had to shout: "What are you still doing here?" Wait for Wang Yan to enter the city and kill us all!" Don't retreat to the city yet! ”

Everyone reacted at once, by the way, there was also a whole city, and they immediately dispersed!

As the news of the Ming army's entry into the city spread throughout the city, the whole Nanjing suddenly became a pot of porridge, and the Qing soldiers guarding the various city gates abandoned the city gates one after another, some became chaotic soldiers, and some retreated to the city.

Looking down from the sky, the Ming army poured into Xicheng like a flood, while the Qing army crawled to the high ground of the city to survive against the ants that were about to be submerged.

The gentry and people in the city did not know the inside story, but they only heard the sound of killing shaking the sky, and the majestic sound and waves, echoing in the sky wave after wave, they were all overjoyed! All right! All right! Look at this movement, it's the king who has entered the city, it's time to take out the hidden clothes, and it's time to cut the ugly rat tail braids!

As soon as the west city was lost, the defense of the entire Nanjing city completely collapsed, and the defeated army of the Qing army began to retreat to the city, and Jin Shenghuan outside the south city followed into the city.

Zheng Chenggong, who was attacking the gates of the East City, noticed the change, and also changed from a feint attack to an attack, and soon broke through the gates of the East City.

The various units of the Ming army began to pursue and kill the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers fled into the streets and alleys under the city walls to avoid pursuit.

The Qinhuai River, which passes through the city of Nanjing, cuts the southern city, but there are nearly ten bridges such as Shangchun Bridge, Xiachun Bridge, and Wuding Bridge across the riverbank.

Liu Tichun led 5,000 men and horses, and after entering the water gate on a raft, he quickly interspersed along the waterway according to the military order, and occupied the bridges along the way to prevent the defeated army of the Qing army from leaving Nancheng.

On the Chun Bridge, the Ming army of five hundred households was the first to penetrate here.

The gunners and archers of each hundred households quickly hid in the houses and rooftops of the lanes and streets, and waited for them, while the sword-and-shield soldiers and spearmen formed a wall in the streets.

As soon as the Ming army was ready, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, followed by countless panicked red-topped hats that appeared on the opposite side of the Shangchun Bridge.

As soon as a few fast Qing soldiers crossed the bridge, there was a sudden sound on the roof, and arrows were also shot head-on.

The Qing soldiers in front were suddenly shot over, and the Qing soldiers in the back hurriedly retreated when they saw this.

"Not good! The Ming army held the bridgehead. ”

The Qing soldiers exclaimed again and again, but they didn't dare to attack, several Eight Banners wanted to drive the Green Battalion soldiers across the bridge and open the way for them, but at this time, which Green Battalion soldier still cares whether you are the Eight Banners or not.

The big guys are running for their lives, you have thick legs, you can go on it yourself!

It wasn't until the Qing soldiers from Nancheng gathered more and more, and the Eight Banners soldiers united by the Green Battalion gradually gathered hundreds of people, and a member Niu Lu led the Eight Banners to try to cross the bridge, but without the cooperation of the Green Battalion, he quickly left a few corpses and retreated.

As soon as the city was broken, no matter the Green Camp and Eight Banners, they had already lost their courage, their morale was plummeting, they just wanted to save their lives, and they no longer had the courage to continue fighting.

At this time, there was another commotion behind the rout, but it was the Ming army attacking Nancheng who came to cover it, and the Qing army crowded to the bridge.

"Let's go down the Chun Bridge!"

There was a blockade in front, and there were pursuers in the back, and I don't know who shouted, and the congested Qing soldiers suddenly fled downstream.

The Qing troops in Nancheng wanted to withdraw to Mancheng, but soon found that most of the bridges were occupied by the Ming army.

At this time, more and more Ming troops entered the city, and 30,000 people entered Zhongwu Town, swarming in, and a queue dressed in plain clothes rushed into Nanjing along the wide Sanshan Street.

Most of the Ming army was ordered to rush to Shangchun Bridge, Xiachun Bridge and other places, and Jin Shenghuan to encircle the Qing army in Nancheng, and a small part of the Qing army in the city was swept away by hundreds of households.

Nanjing was not only of great political significance to the Ming Dynasty, but also to the restoration of the economy of the south of the Yangtze River.

After the Qing army broke down the city, countless stragglers hid in the lanes beside the road, and the Ming army swept along the streets, without a street gate, or at the intersection of the streets, they put a small flag to guard it, strictly prevent the Qing soldiers from harming the people, and compress the scope of the Qing soldiers' activities and control the blocks.

Hu Hengyuan led this thousand households, and after entering the city, he was responsible for sweeping along Pingshi Street and capturing the domain treasury and the prefect's yamen.

He shouted to his subordinates to run quickly, although the people and horses of several parties are surnamed Han, but some key points are still in the hands of the five loyal troops.

The soldiers of the brigade ran down the street, the sound of dense footsteps and the clanging of iron armor.

As they approached the prefect's yamen, the sound of other streets and rooms in the city was continuous, and the white smoke of gunpowder drifted in the air, presumably other Ming troops were engaged in fierce street battles with Qing soldiers.

Hu Hengyuan was about to remind his subordinates to pay attention, when suddenly there were a few bangs in front of him, and the sound of pain came, and several Ming soldiers in the front row were caught off guard and were overturned by several Qing soldiers hiding on the side of the street.

Without Hu Hengyuan's order, a team of firecrackers immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee, raised their guns and fired, and suddenly the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

As soon as the sound of the guns stopped, a squad of fighters with melee weapons, taking advantage of the smoke to disperse, rushed to the front of several Qing army gunners at great speed, and slashed them all in a moment.

The team went all the way to the prefect's yamen, where they met a small group of eight banners, they leaned on the yamen, dodged the stone lions, and shot the Ming army with bows and arrows and firearms.

The Ming army hid on both sides of the street and fought back, but they did not dare to rush hard, and at this time, there was no need to fight brutally and lose their lives.

Hu Hengyuan immediately ordered a hundred households to lead the people and horses from the criss-crossing alleys to the back of the Eight Banners.

Hundreds of households received the order, and busily led more than ten people, rushed into the alley, turned a corner, and then several people cooperated, one by one into the courtyard wall, but as soon as they landed, they saw that in the yard, there were several corpses lying horizontally, old and young, men and women.

And at this moment, the main hall of the courtyard suddenly hurriedly walked out of a few people, their clothes were very scattered, some did not fit, everyone carried a burden, and the knife in their hands was still dripping blood.

There are only five people in this group, and they are obviously Qing army rebels, who take advantage of the chaos to kill and rob, and want to change into people's clothes and get through the customs in confusion.

Qing soldiers saw a bunch of Ming soldiers who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and they were stunned, neither side reacted, and looked at each other for a moment, and the Ming army first relieved themselves, and immediately scolded, "Straight thief!" The war knife in his hand was thrown directly, shooting a Qing soldier through the abdomen.

"Kill!" Dozens of Ming soldiers reacted and swarmed up, and the remaining four Qing soldiers were slashed and killed in an instant.

When the results were cleared in the courtyard, Baihu spat and scolded a few words at the corpse, and then beckoned, "Go, don't stay, it's important to outflank the dog!" ”

The Ming army began to attack the city at three o'clock, and at two o'clock, the public broke the water gate, and opened the three mountain gates at three o'clock to welcome the main force into the city.

After that, the city fell into a fierce street battle, the sound of guns everywhere in the city was endless, the smoke of gunpowder was filled over the city, until it was not three moments, the city of Nanjing gradually quieted down, there were only sporadic cannon sounds, the Ming army that entered the city, basically controlled the city, only the city was not down.

Liu Shun, Gao Yigong and others who entered the city immediately arranged for manpower to clean up a little to welcome Wang Yan into the city.

Outside the city, Wang Yanzheng listened to the battle reports from various departments, Jin Shenghuan and Liu Tichun did not catch up with Hong Chengchou, after all, before Liu Tichun rushed to Wuding Bridge, he crossed the bridge first and escaped into the city, but the main force of the Qing army was indeed trapped in Nancheng, and more than 20,000 people were captured prisoners alone.

After Wang Yan heard the reply, a general came out of the city, and reported to Wang Yan with a happy face: "Your Highness! Our army has taken control of Nanjing, please enter the city and settle the people! ”

Wang Yan shook his head when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "You go and inform the Tang King that this domain will invite the coffin of Emperor Daxing later, and Emperor Daxing should be the first to enter the city!" ”
