Under Qian Yong's order, the soldiers stood in a queue, the streets in the city were very narrow, and only twenty people could stand in a row, and many soldiers went into the shops on the side of the street, opened the windows and pointed at the Qing soldiers opposite.

Under Qian Yong's order, dense gunfire immediately rang out in the North Gate City. A platoon* immediately retreated after shooting, replaced the soldiers behind, and went back and forth with each other, killing and wounding a large number of Qing troops who rushed into the city.

The Qing army on the opposite side was not the new annex army of the four towns in Jiangbei, they were the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, which was under the jurisdiction of Kong Youde. Han Baqi is still very combative, and he was a little flustered in the early stage of engaging the enemy, but after discovering that the other party was a musketeer, he immediately drilled into the shop on the side of the street, and then the wall panel of the store resisted lead bullets.

After relying on the wall panels to resist lead bullets, the Qing soldiers, organized by several Niu Lu, began to fire arrows outside through the windows. Now the distance between the two armies is less than fifty meters, which is exactly the effective range of bows and arrows. After a rain of arrows, Qian Yong's team finally suffered casualties.

Qian Yong saw that his subordinates began to suffer casualties, and he hated the roots of his teeth. Seeing the Qing soldiers retreating into the store, he immediately ordered the artillery to be pushed up from behind. This time, Qian Yong brought two more artillery batteries with him, but he got off the ship in a hurry just now and only unloaded ten six-pounder guns.

The artillery behind pushed up a cannon, and Qian Yong shouted to the gunner: "Shotgun, at the shop on the street, bomb me!" ”

Four gunners braved a rain of arrows to load the shotguns and fire. Since the distance was less than fifty meters, the shotgun did not spread out at all, and directly pierced the door panel of the opposite shop and fired into the house. Due to the obstruction of the door panel, the shotguns that entered the house immediately broke open, and more than 100 submunitions scattered in the narrow shop, like a metal storm, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers in the house were immediately beaten into a sieve.

Qian Yong saw that this was effective outside, and ordered the artillery to start a roll call of more than a dozen shops on the street. At this time, more artillery was pushed up from the rear to join the battle, and the Qing army began to be unable to resist the attack of the Ming army and began to retreat gradually.

After the panic that had just entered the city, Qian Yong's regiment of soldiers began to feel it. After all, they are all non-commissioned officers and students who have undergone many years of training, and they are many times stronger than the Qing army on the other side in terms of quality, training, and equipment.

After Qian Yong saw that he was basically under control of the north gate, he pulled over Zhang Sanqiang, the commander of a regiment, and shouted: "Little San, you take a battalion, plus five artillery, and go down the street to the west gate, pay attention to find the generals of the local Ming army, and let them organize people to beat the Qing army out of the city." ”

Zhang Sanqiang nodded and led people to the west gate.

In the battle at the north gate, Yan Yingyuan, who was resisting the Qing army at the east gate, also reacted. When he saw the earth-shattering salvo of the five big ships just now, he knew that reinforcements were coming, but it was not clear that it was reinforcements from that place.

Yan Yingyuan grabbed a thousand households and shouted: "You go down to organize people, cooperate with the reinforcements entering the city, and repel the Qing army!" Then he said to Chen Mingyu: "Big brother, I'll leave the east gate to you, I'll go to the west gate to have a look." ”

"Brother, don't worry, there is my brother here!" Chen Mingyu nodded to reassure Yan Yingyuan.

At this time, the headquarters of the Qing army outside the city was set up on a hill outside the west gate. Duoduo was furious that the county had been able to resist for nearly two months, and ordered Belebolo and Belenica, who had just pacified Songjiang, to lead 100,000 Han troops and 10,000 Mengbaqi to attack Jiangyin.

Originally, Kong Youde and Liu Liangzuo were fighting in the past two months, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army was already limited, coupled with Yan Yingyuan's good command, nine generals at the level of Liu Liangzuo's general were killed in the past two months.

After Bo Luo came, he couldn't help but say that he beat Liu Liangzuo with a board, Kong Youde is an old man in Liaodong after all, and he still has to give a little face. Next, he naturally attacked the city with all his might, and Bolo asked all the twenty-four red-coated cannons to move to Huajiaba outside the north gate to attack the northeast city. After three hours of continuous attack, the north gate was finally blasted open. Bolo ordered Kong Youde to lead 30,000 Han soldiers into the city to open a breakthrough.

Liu Liangzuo, who had just finished the board on the side, was very unhappy, but there was no way. It's different now than a year ago, when Liu Liangzuo was proud of the spring breeze, and Emperor Hongguang had to give some thin noodles. Now in the face of the wolf-like Manchurians, Liu Liangzuo dared to show half dissatisfaction.

Liu Liangzuo ignored the pain in his buttocks, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat Bolo and Nikan's ass.

"The two Belle Lords are powerful, the villain's attack has not been defeated for two months, and the city gate will be opened as soon as the Belle Lord arrives."

Nikan looked down on these traitors very much, and when he saw Liu Liangzuo's face, he became angry and scolded: "You waste, if it weren't for the fifteenth uncle who insisted on keeping you, he would have killed you all in Nanjing." ”

Bolo is a handsome, although he did not insult Liu Liangzuo, but he was also very disdainful of his character.

On the side, Nikan was about to continue scolding Liu Liangzuo, when there was a loud noise from the north city, which sounded like the sound of artillery.

Nikan looked to the north, and the Hongyi artillery position was covered with a layer of gunsmoke, and he couldn't see what was going on. After a while, a herald came to report: There were many huge ships on the North Gate Wharf, all of which were as high as the city walls, and they had already fired cannons to blow up the Hongyi cannons. And the Han army that was obedient to King Kong Youde was surrounded by a new Ming army in the city, and asked the marshal to send troops to rescue.

Bolo was stunned for a moment and asked, "How many people are on the other side?" Kong Youde's 30,000 people were actually besieged in the city? ”

The herald did not dare to look up at Bolo, but bowed his head and said, "Probably less than five thousand, but all of them have birds, and their firepower is very fierce. ”

When Nikan heard the herald say this, he said angrily: "Dashuai, I will say that these Han minions are unreliable, and 30,000 people have been defeated by 5,000 people. Dashuai, let me bring someone up! ”

"No, the enemy situation is unknown. Lord Liu, you take your 50,000 men and horses and enter through the north gate to relieve the siege of King Gongshun. ”

Liu Liangzuo had no choice, knowing that this was a mission to death, but now the situation is stronger than people. Liu Liangzuo bowed down to receive the order and rushed to the north gate with 50,000 of his new attached army.

Nikan watched Liu Liangzuo leave and asked, "Dashuai, why do you use this guy?" Their combat effectiveness is not good! ”

Bolo glared at Nikan and said, "Prince Yu has an order to consume more of these Han troops, the Han population is too large." ”

I see, Nikan nodded and stopped talking. In fact, there is another thing he doesn't know, that is, in Duoduo's secret letter to Bolo, he said to minimize the casualties of the two white flags, after all, the two white flags are the foundation of the regent, and they can't be lost.

Here, Liu Liangzuo returned to his team with Bolo's general order with a sad face, and led 50,000 people to the north gate.

Yan Qingshan on the big boat on the dock outside the north gate was waiting impatiently, the shelling just now was very enjoyable, but now there is nothing to do. The navy is different from the army, so you can't sail warships ashore.
