Did the Pingnan army enter the city through other gates? Liu Zeqing was shocked.

The main force of the Pingnan Army has been pinned down here, and the attack on the other city gates is just an army with ordinary combat strength, and it is easy to break through the city wall, it must be that the defenders surrendered and opened the city gate!

His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is fighting desperately here, but this group of bastards surrendered without a fight, what kind of world is this! Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. But he forgot that he was also a good man, and he had also fled on the battlefield countless times without a fight, throwing friendly troops to the enemy.

Attacked from the north, the army deployed in the north was suddenly chaotic, and the adjutant general Bai Yongfu could not control the army at all, and the soldiers threw away their weapons and fled.

In fact, the training strength of the incoming Jin Shenghuan regiment is ordinary, and if Bai Yongfu resists with all his heart, it may not be able to stop it. But the army of this era is like this, seeing the enemy suddenly kill from behind, most of the soldiers panicked at once, and they did not have the courage to fight to the death at all. Courage and perseverance are what most of the Ming army lack, and of course, for these people who are soldiers just for a bite to eat, what courage is required is really high.

As soon as Jin Shenghuan's army appeared on the battlefield, Bai Yongfu's army was in chaos, and the other corresponding armies also rioted, and the siege collapsed at once.

Chen Yue saw the opportunity and ordered the whole army to assault, Li Yi and Jin Xin each led the army to attack quickly, Liu Zeqing's troops were killed and retreated one after another, attacking and defending at once.

The enemy army was fierce, the other city gates were lost, and their own side was attacked from both sides, Liu Zeqing's soldiers no longer had the courage to fight to the death, regardless of the general's orders, many soldiers dropped their weapons and fled.

The team of the soldiers who supervised the battle slashed dozens of deserters with sharp blades, but they could not stop the soldiers from escaping, and the soldiers fled over the wall and alleys from other directions, and the rout was unstoppable.

"Master Hou, let's retreat, retreat to the inner city and hold on!" The leader of the family shouted at Liu Zeqing, and then couldn't help but push Liu Zeqing onto the war horse, and hundreds of family members fled to the inner city with Liu Zeqing.

Looking at the already defeated army, Liu Zeqing closed his eyes in despair, how many of the more than 10,000 people could flee into the inner city, and even if they could escape in, could they still hold it? With this defeat, his strength was lost, and it would be difficult to make a comeback.

A series of thoughts flashed through Liu Zeqing's mind, but he couldn't take too much care of it in front of him, so he would have escaped from the battlefield and fled into the inner city for the time being.

......

"There are so many troops, where is Liu Zeqing's Chinese army?" Liu Neng climbed on the roof of a house and watched carefully, tens of thousands of troops were distributed in the area at the gate of the city, and it was so easy to find out where Liu Zeqing was.

Hey, why is there an army coming from the north, it is Jin Shenghuan's regimental training camp? Liu Neng watched carefully, and finally distinguished from the banner that it was Jin Shenghuan's army. They actually broke through the Crane Gate and killed here!

"What? Jin Shenghuan was killed from the Crane Gate? Hearing Liu Neng's report, Chen Jianghe was overjoyed, so Liu Zeqing's plan to ambush the Pingnan Army all failed, Jin Shenghuan's troops joined the battlefield, and the Pingnan Army was already on par with Liu Zeqing in terms of troops, and the next step was a counteroffensive.

"Liu Zeqing must escape, the nearest inner city gate is Chaoyang Gate, let's go ahead and block him!" Chen Jianghe immediately made a decision.

More than 200 people ran quickly towards Chaoyangmen Street under his leadership, heavy footsteps resounded in the streets and alleys, all the people closed their doors, hiding at home, and no one dared to go out to watch.

Quickly approaching Chaoyangmen Street, Chen Jianghe immediately arranged it, and more than 100 crossbows and firearms broke into the people's homes, climbed up to the second floor or the roof, and they would snipe the fleeing enemy from above.

Chen Jianghe led 100 elite soldiers to break open the doors of several ordinary people's homes, and regardless of the people's cries, he took out tables and chairs from his homes and threw them on the street. The wide avenue was soon filled with all sorts of things, forming simple barriers.

"My lord, the defeated army has fled!" After a while, the soldier in charge of watching at the wall shouted loudly, and Chen Jianghe quickly hid in the shops on both sides with his men. There are more than 200 people around him, and it is delusional to stop all the defeated soldiers, but it is not difficult to find Liu Zeqing who escaped and kill him.

Liu Zeqing's hundreds of families rode war horses, which was the absolute main force when fighting, and he was the first to take the lead when he fled. Hundreds of horsemen escorted Liu Zeqing to flee quickly on the street, completely ignoring the rout soldiers or pedestrians on the street, and under the trampling of iron hooves, everything that stood in the way of the street became powder.

The street of Nanjing City is very wide, this Chaoyangmen Street connects Chaoyangmen and Qilin Gate, it is the main road of Nanjing, it is more than 20 zhang wide, the whole body is paved with bluestone slabs, enough for more than 10 war horses to run in parallel.

In the past, the streets were full of people and traffic, but now there is a war, and the people are closed and do not dare to go out into the streets, and the streets are suddenly empty.

Liu Zeqing's hundreds of cavalry were running fast on the streets, as long as they escaped into Chaoyangmen, with the taller and stronger walls of the capital, it was enough to keep the Pingnan army out, and it would be much safer at that time.

However, after running not far on the street, the family who opened the road in front of him restrained the war horse, and the obstacle composed of countless tables, chairs and furniture could not be crossed by the war horse at all. The family in front had to stop, but the cavalry behind didn't know what was happening, and continued to run at an unabated speed, and as a result, they collided with the cavalry in front, just like the scene of a car accident on the highway in later generations, and the whole family team was in chaos.

"What's wrong?" As soon as Liu Zeqing had time to ask a question, a continuous rain of arrows suddenly fell overhead, and dozens of family members fell under the horses screaming.

Such a large horse team must be an important general of Liu Zeqing's department, maybe Liu Zeqing is among them, Liu Neng, who was standing at a window on the second floor, immediately broke off and took the lead in shooting the arrow in his hand.

The rain of arrows that fell from high suddenly blinded these hundreds of cavalry, and when they entered, there were obstacles in front of them and they could not advance, and they would become the target of bows and arrows when they rode on horses. Fight back? Not to mention that they don't have the level to shoot arrows on horseback at all, even if they dismount and shoot back, the pursuers in the rear will come over soon, where is the kung fu to deal with these archers on the wall upstairs?

"The people in front go and move the obstacles, and the others raise their shields to defend!" Liu Zeqing quickly ordered. His own soldiers were all wearing armor, and as long as they were slightly covered with shields, they would not have much trouble holding up the rain of arrows. I am afraid that the enemy will poison the war horse under the crotch and lose the war horse, and it will be difficult to escape into Chaoyangmen quickly.

A feather arrow flew straight towards Liu Zeqing's chest, Liu Zeqing didn't pay attention to it at all, but just used his knife to block the arrows flying towards the war horse. Sure enough, the feather arrow hit his chest, but it was blocked by the thick armor page, and hung crookedly on his body.

"!" Looking at the enemy general wearing chain mail, Liu Neng scolded fiercely. Arrows are still not lethal enough against enemies with armor, but it would be nice if they had firearms, and the projectiles would be enough to penetrate three layers of armor at close range.

Liu Neng looked left and right, there were only a dozen archers on the second floor, but there was not even a single firecracker, so he had to stop.

"Everyone, shoot their horses, shoot all their horses to death, and see how they can escape!" Liu Neng said viciously.

"Liu Zeqing!" Li Chengdong pointed to the cavalry on the street and suddenly shouted, Chen Jianghe hurriedly looked over, and saw that it was a cavalryman wearing chain mail, bright battle armor and a red cloak, which distinguished him from other cavalry.

Li Chengdong is a heavy general under Gao Jie, and he saw Liu Zeqing when he was in Pukou, so of course he could recognize him immediately.

"It's here!" Chen Jianghe was overjoyed, as long as Liu Zeqing could be caught, Nanjing would basically be decided.

"Brothers, follow me and capture Liu Zeqing alive!" Chen Jianghe let out a loud shout and shot out of the store with his spear, and Li Chengdong followed closely behind him with dozens of elite soldiers.

A hundred elite soldiers, distributed in several shops on both sides of the street, rushed out at the same time, and immediately caught Liu Zeqing's cavalry off guard.

For cavalry, speed is their greatest advantage, and with speed they can crush the vast majority of infantry. But when they lose their speed, they become the biggest target on their horses, and it is difficult to turn around on their horses, let alone fight against the infantry.

Liu Zeqing's family members were all light cavalry, and most of their weapons were sabers and three-eyed firearms, and compared with the infantry armed with spears, their weapons were shorter, and they were suddenly attacked from both sides, and dozens of people were picked off their horses at once.

Chen Jianghe didn't care about others, and attacked Liu Zeqing directly, and Li Chengdong followed him closely with a few people.

There were bows and arrows on it, and there were enemies on both sides who suddenly killed them, and Liu Zeqing's cavalry was in chaos at once, although they were all elite family members with good combat strength, although their numbers were far above the enemies in ambush. However, when the army was defeated, it was suddenly ambushed by the enemy, and in a panic, where could it tell how many enemy troops were attacking?

Some dismounted and raised their weapons to meet the battle, while others looked around, looking for a way to escape.

Chen Jianghe took Li Chengdong and more than 20 other people, killed more than a dozen cavalry interceptions, and quickly attacked Liu Zeqing's side, wielding weapons, and fighting with Liu Zeqing's henchman.

Looking at the enemy who bravely attacked, and looking back at the smoke and dust faintly appearing in the distance, Liu Zeqing's face was already showing despair, and the general trend had gone!

"Liu Zeqing, surrender quickly!" Li Chengdong shouted at Liu Zeqing.

"Hehe, can you survive if you surrender?" Liu Zeqing asked with a wry smile.

"......" Li Chengdong was speechless for a moment, it was difficult to survive on Liu Zeqing's charges.

"Master Hou, let's go!" Several family members rushed over, blocked Liu Zeqing behind him, and shouted anxiously.

The family in front braved the rain of arrows to move some roadblocks, and Liu Zeqing didn't say anything more, and rode his horse away. Several family members desperately blocked Chen Jianghe and the others, so as to give their master a chance to escape.

Seeing that Liu Zeqing was about to rush out, Chen Jianghe roared angrily, threw the spear in his hand hard, and the spear flew towards Liu Zeqing's back like a poisonous dragon, with a strong momentum, it broke through the armor page and stabbed straight into the back of the heart, breaking out of the body.
