Dinghuai Gate, adjacent to the Yangtze River, above the city pass, Liu Kongzhao stared intently at the water in the distance, and was also very nervous, waiting for the arrival of Cao Bianjiao, finally, there was a fire on the water surface, one after another, soon covered the river, Liu Kongzhao knew that Cao Bianjiao's army had arrived, and he was also relieved at the moment.

"Are all those Qing soldiers under control?" Liu Kongzhao turned around and asked.

The deputy general hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, sir, three thousand Manchu Qing soldiers, I invited them to drink a meal of ecstasy wine, and now they have all met the king of Hades, and they don't know how they died." ”

"That's good! Open the door and greet the General! Liu Kongzhao also went down to the city, although he was ashamed and had no shame to face Cao Bianjiao, but he still had to face it.

Cao Bianjiao, who was standing at the bow of the boat, also saw the signal of the three lanterns hanging high, and at the moment he also ordered Weng Zhiqi to lead the naval army into the city first, to test the situation, water warfare is not his strong point, he can only hand it over to Weng Zhiqi.

Weng Zhiqi led the army into the Dinghuai Gate, and then met Liu Kongzhao who came to greet him.

"Where is the general now?" Liu Kongzhao asked, seeing Weng Zhiqi but not seeing Cao Bianjiao, he was also puzzled.

"The general is on the boat behind, Lord Liu can go to meet him, and the one with the three lanterns is the general's boat!" Weng Zhiqi also stopped talking to him about anything, and transferred soldiers to control the city defense first, and then took the army behind to enter the city.

Liu Kongzhao also walked out of the Dinghuai Gate and walked to Cao Bianjiao's boat to meet him, and when he saw Cao Bianjiao, Liu Kongzhao was also blushing and ashamed, if it weren't for their original selfishness, the state affairs would not have fallen to this.

"The sinner meets the general!"

"Sincerity, you are not a sinner, you have turned back to the shore, you have atoned for your sins, and now lead your men and horses to control Qingliangmen, Shichengmen, and Shuiximen, how is the Qing army in the city?"

According to the general's orders, in the name of the army, some wine and meat were sent, but the matter was hasty, the number was not much, and it was only given to the military camp in the west of the city, the Qing army camp in the west of the city had 20,000 horses, stationed at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, and there were 10,000 banner soldiers in the northeast of the city, stationed at Jinchuan Gate and Shence Gate, and there were 5,000 people scattered in the city to patrol. Duoduo lived in Chaotian Palace, surrounded by three thousand Eight Banner soldiers. Originally, most of the defenders of Nanjing were arranged in the area of Houhu in Xiaojiaochang, but their weapons were temporarily confiscated......" Liu Kongzhao also told what he had learned.

Cao Bianjiao nodded, and immediately ordered: "Zu Dale and Li Chengdong, you two each lead 10,000 horses, Li Chengdong, you go to Jinchuan Gate, Zu Dale, you go to Shence Gate, encircle and suppress the Qing army over there; Li Yan, you lead 3,000 people to Qingliang Mountain to control those soldiers and horses, Sun Lin, you lead 10,000 people to clear the Qing army on patrol, Fang Guoan, you lead the sailors to control the rest of the gates, Yuan Shu, Zhang Gelao, you lead 3,000 people to mobilize those original defenders, and then take them to the treasury to collect weapons, lead them to encircle and suppress the Qing army, and the rest of the men and horses follow me to capture and kill Duoduo. ”

"Yes!" Everyone took the order with solemn expressions.

With such an arrangement, there are less than 5,000 people left around Cao Bianjiao, but Duoduo is only 3,000 people, Cao Bianjiao doesn't believe it, and he can't help him.

In the Manchu military camp at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, 20,000 horses and horses are covered with a haze, tonight, it was originally happy, because the gentry in Nanjing sent a batch of wine and meat to the army, although it is not much, but it is enough for everyone to eat meat, not to mention that there is a lot of good wine, but the wine has just passed thirty years, and the food has only passed five flavors, they feel that something is wrong, and they start to have stomach troubles, one or two, it is hundreds of people who go in groups.

Wave after wave, the stomach of the mountains roaring tsunami, difficult to resist, they can only tie their hands to capture, the whole barracks, everywhere to run to the thatched house soldiers, thatched houses are not enough, just find a corner to solve, careless, will step on the artificial fertilizer that others have just left, but also take care of a lot.

When Li Yan brought his soldiers and horses here, he did not encounter resistance at all, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate were called a decadent, not to mention fighting, any recruit who went up could beat them all down, Li Yan entered the gate effortlessly, and shouted a warning shout, but no one came to meet him.

"It stinks, how much medicine has your lord taken?" After Li Yan entered, he also smelled a strong stench, which was disgusting, and he couldn't help but cover his nose.

"Lord Hui, I first got more than 20 catties of laxatives, my lord was afraid that it would not be enough, and then I had to find some castor seeds and morning glory seeds, grind them into powder and mix them in, saying that it can also make people have diarrhea, about more than 100 catties!"

"Your master is really willing to spend the money!" Li Yan also smiled bitterly, wouldn't it be better to use these things elsewhere, what a waste.

"Come on, collect everyone's weapons, and if there is resistance, kill them, gather them together, string them with ropes, and watch them well." Li Yan then issued a military order and assigned men and horses to take over the military camp.

"Killing ......" Sun Lin led his men and horses to begin to clear out the Qing soldiers who were patrolling, and at the same time mobilized the people to stand up and resist and join the ranks of encirclement and suppression.

Two Qing soldiers were chased and killed by nearly 100 Ming troops, and they fled in a hurry, they had just arrived here at night, and were suddenly attacked by the Ming army, and a team of fifty people was immediately dispersed, and many people were killed on the spot, without any defense, and they did not know where so many murderous Ming troops suddenly appeared.

"Quick, go and report to Prince Yu, the Ming army has rebelled...... a soldier said with palpitations, now they don't know that Cao Bianjiao has led the army into the city, although there are already people shouting in the city, but there are not many, they haven't heard it, otherwise they would have reported Duoduo a long time ago.

"Well... Good... Go ......" the other person was also strongly in favor.

The two of them just wanted to leave, and suddenly the door behind them was opened, and more than a dozen people rushed out from inside, wearing coarse linen clothes, holding benches, kitchen knives, bricks and other things, and rushed up angrily.

"Spare your life...... ......"The two soldiers were still begging for mercy at the beginning, but soon they lost their voices, and they had been beaten beyond recognition, and their parents couldn't recognize them, and their heads were about to be smashed.

"Kill the Tartars, avenge the family......" The next person shouted, he was the shopkeeper of the cloth village behind him, the Qing army entered the city and forcibly raped his daughter, he wanted to resist but could not do anything, his daughter hanged herself in shame, at this moment his bloody nature was also stimulated, knowing that General Cao Bianjiao Cao led the army into the city, and also mentioned the things in hand to take revenge, followed by several of his sons and nephews, all of whom shouted.

Under their appeal, many people who were poisoned by the Qing army walked out of their homes one after another, shouting for revenge, and of course, many people were afraid and fearful, and they shrank at home with the spirit of "nothing to do with themselves" and resolutely did not go out, just thinking about living their own peaceful life.

Nanjing was supposed to be silent at midnight, but at this moment there was an uproar, and hundreds of men walked out of their homes to join the ranks of encirclement and suppression, and began to besiege and beat the scattered Qing troops, venting their suppressed anger and hatred.
