After lunch, Hu Zongxian ordered the siege to continue. It was still led by the Han Eight Banners, who were still gratifying.

The grenadiers that Hu Zongxian said in the morning also joined the siege of the city, and under the cover of the shield soldiers, they threw bombs at the head of the city. The city was so crowded that the bombs fell in the crowd and fell one after a sound.

With the addition of grenadiers, the counterattack of the Qing soldiers at the head of the city was weakened a lot, and more and more Han Eight Banners surrendered troops to attack the head of the city.

The grenadiers had stopped throwing grenadiers in order to prevent accidental injuries. However, at this time, the Han Eight Banners had begun to gain a firm foothold in the city, and the people who pounced on the city immediately fought on both sides, trying to expand the breakthrough, so that the follow-up men and horses continued to break in.

The Qing soldiers had the heart to fight back, but at this time, Dai Shan didn't know where to go, the dragons were leaderless, everyone was panicked, and they were defeated and retreated by the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, who were more and more brave in the war.

At this time, Shang Kexi also rushed to the city with a knife, he forced back a Qing soldier who pounced on him with a knife, and shouted: "Brothers, the Tartars are about to be finished, continue to kill!" ”

The surrendered soldiers shouted, and the Qing soldiers at the head of the city were even more defeated.

Shang Kexi slashed obliquely, cutting off half of the neck of a Qing soldier in front of him, and was about to continue to rush forward when he suddenly studied, and looked down, a bloody arrow came out of his left chest.

He looked at the arrow in his chest and tried to turn around, as if to see who had shot him, but he fell to the ground halfway through his turn, his eyes wide open and out of breath.

Shang Kexi was hit by a cold arrow and died, and the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who climbed to the top of the city suddenly panicked, some people shouted and rushed over to check, and some people stopped rushing forward, looking at a loss for what to do.

A thunderous voice suddenly sounded on the head of the city: "Look at a bird, how can there be an immortal in a war, either the Tartar dies, or he dies by himself, and he will continue to rush to Lao Tzu!" ”

This muffled thunder seemed to explode in everyone's hearts at once, and they all followed the sound, but what caught their eyes was a tall and sturdy figure like a hill, wearing three layers of iron armor, and holding a thick mace in his hand.

This is the mountain pillar, who has now risen from centurion to thousand-commander because of his military exploits.

However, although he has become a commander, his habit of rushing to the forefront in every battle has not changed. Seeing that the troops had landed at the top of the city, Hu Zongxian asked Shanzhuzi to lead the infantry of the Jiang family army to follow.

The mountain pillar is a mace, and all the Qing soldiers that come into contact with it are either dead or wounded. He wielded a big stick and rushed wherever he saw a large number of people. He was originally born with divine power, and with a heavy weapon like a mace, there was no one in front of him who could fight against him.

He filled into the group of Qing soldiers, like an elephant rushing into a porcelain shop, touching anything, the Qing soldiers all screamed and fell out.

The soldiers who followed him were left with the errand of mending their knives.

As soon as Shan Zhuzi joined the battle with the Jiang army, the Qing army, which was already unable to support it, collapsed directly, and some people began to turn around and flee, and then more people fled.

While directing the soldiers to chase and kill, Shan Zhuzi shouted in his super loud voice, "The city is broken, and the Qing Kingdom is finished." Surrender or kill! ”

The soldiers behind him followed suit, and shouted together: "The city is broken, and the Qing Kingdom is finished." Surrender or kill! ”

There were many people and loud voices, and soon the city walls were full of voices of "the city is broken, and the Qing country is finished".

When some of the Qing soldiers who were still resisting heard this, they immediately panicked, and either turned around and fled, or knelt down and surrendered, and the resistance of the Qing soldiers in the entire southern city was rapidly declining.

Seeing that the resistance on the city wall had basically collapsed, Shanzhuzi rushed down the city wall with his people, rushed to the city gate hole, killed the Qing soldiers guarding the city gate, and opened the city gate from the inside.

As soon as the city gate opened, the cavalry of the Jiang family's army, who had been waiting outside, suddenly swarmed in, followed by a large group of infantry. Some of the infantry quickly climbed the wall and held their positions condescendingly, while some rushed along the wall towards the other three.

More and more cavalry poured in from the south gate of Shengjing, stretching like a black torrent.

Zhao Feng, the commander of the cavalry, rushed straight to the Manchu Palace with a thousand iron horses, which was a task assigned to him by Ran Wu a long time ago. After breaking the city, he first captured the palace and captured the Manchu emperor and the empress dowager and other nobles.

Zhao Feng took a thousand iron horsemen all the way to the palace to kill, and the Qing soldiers encountered on the road were not vulnerable at all, as long as a charge passed, they were scattered, and basically did not encounter any strong resistance, so they arrived at the gate of the palace smoothly.

Although the scale of the imperial palace in Shengjing is much smaller than that of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the basic layout is still built according to the Forbidden City.

The main gate in and out of the palace is still called the noon gate.

When Zhao Feng led his soldiers to the front of the noon gate, several heads popped up on the wall and shot arrows at them.

Zhao Feng commanded the dismount and fought on foot, and a round of arrows rained over, and there were people behind the wall crying and shouting to surrender, but it turned out that a few eunuchs thought they were rebels who took the opportunity to make trouble.

Several eunuchs hurriedly opened the palace door to welcome Zhao Feng and them into the palace, Zhao Feng grabbed these eunuchs and asked a few words, and learned that many people in the palace had run away, and he was anxious, worried that the little emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the queen mother also ran away, and he would not be able to make a difference.

Although these eunuchs said that they didn't see the little emperor running away, Zhao Feng was still not at ease, so he casually threw a eunuch on the horse and asked him to lead the way directly to the emperor's Qianqing Palace.

After arriving at the Qianqing Palace, he didn't see the emperor, but only caught the two palace maids hiding under the table, and when he asked, he learned that the emperor was taken by the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai in Yongfu Palace.

Zhao Feng left a team of people to guard the Qianqing Palace, and he took another team of people to Yongfu Palace.

After bypassing a few palace gates, I didn't see a single eunuch or palace maid on the road, obviously as the eunuch said before, everything that could run was almost gone.

I thought that the gate of Yongfu Palace was also closed at this time, and it might take a little trouble, but I didn't expect Zhao Feng to take people to the gate of Yongfu Palace to take a look, the palace gate was wide open, and there was silence.

There were two palace maids standing at the gate, and when they saw a group of murderous soldiers in black clothes and black armor rushing over, although they trembled with fear, they still mustered up the courage to say: "Dare to ask which general is leading the team?" ”

Zhao Feng was stunned and said: "I am, what about the little emperor and the queen mother of the Qing Kingdom?" ”

The palace maid's body trembled violently, but she still tried her best to calm down her voice and hung her head: "General, the emperor and the queen mother are waiting for the general inside, please come with me." ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.

Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and found no abnormality, waved his hand and left a team of people to guard the door, and he led a team of people to follow the palace maid and strode in.

After entering the gate and passing through a spacious courtyard, you will see the main hall of Yongfu Palace.

I saw a woman dressed in a luxurious house with a bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe at the door of the main hall at the door of the main hall, and the little boy snuggled up to the woman tightly, obviously the Qing Emperor Fuli and the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai.

"Dare to ask the general, but is it the general under the command of the Ming Wu'an Hou Jiangchuan?" Bumu Butai looked at Zhao Feng and said calmly. The tone and demeanor were not at all like a dead queen mother who had become a prisoner, but it was like greeting an ordinary guest, which made Zhao Feng a little surprised, and he also had a sense of respect in his heart.
