The rumbling sound of artillery entered the city, indicating that the battle against Nanjing City had officially begun.

The nearly 1,000 people who were under house arrest in the school were in an uproar, some were quite excited, and some were full of fear.

They were captured by the Qing army, and no one knew what the fate was, maybe Bolo saw that the situation was not good, and in order to completely eliminate the hidden danger, or with the mentality of killing the fish and breaking the net, it was very possible.

Talking to Qian Qianyi was He Wangsheng, who and Qian Qianyi were the leaders of the Jiangnan Fuming gentry.

Qian Qianyi saw that his face was full of joy, but his face sank, "Brother Zhou Qian, your idea is out, only you and I know about the generals who plotted the rebellion, and we are also greedy for merit, and we have not communicated with the Heaven and Earth Society, and now we are trapped here, but we can't help anything." ”

The Jiangnan gentry, as a force that once controlled the Ming Dynasty, although because of the defeat of the Hongguang Dynasty, the Donglin Party was wiped out, and they lost their protection politically and became lambs to be slaughtered, but after all, the Jiangnan gentry has developed for more than 200 years, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength is still strong.

When they participated in the struggle to restore their sight, they inevitably hoped to regain their power, so in many things, they kept a certain distance from the Heaven and Earth Society, and did not want to become a subordinate.

Most of the Tiandihui were born at the bottom and could not enter the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the Jiangnan gentry were in vain, and the relationship was complicated, and it was easy to rebel against the high-level green camp generals.

When He Wangsheng heard this, he turned his head to look at the Qing soldiers guarding outside, and his face showed embarrassment, "Without the help of outsiders, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out!" ”

Outside the city, the artillery arrays of the Purple Mountain, the Lime Mountain, and the west of the city opened fire one after another, and the rumbling cannons reflected each other, making the whole of Nanjing tremble.

There are thirteen city gates in the inner city of Nanjing, not every place is suitable for attacking, such as Mochou Lake outside the stone city gate, the infantry can not be deployed, and the Ming army attacking from the west chose the Sanshan Gate.

At this time, the artillery team is emitting a deafening cannon sound, the sound of the cannon is like a summer thunder, the thick white smoke covers the long artillery position, each artillery raises a cloud of white smoke, the gun carriage retreats, more than ten catties of iron bullets are smashed all over the city wall, the city wall is dusty, countless gravel is splashed up, and then it falls into the Qinhuai River with a bang, startling a dense splash.

In the array of the Ming army, the war horses in front of them neighed, and the horses' hooves shook the turf, looking very restless.

The prisoners of the green camp in front of the battle were terrified, and nearly a hundred red-coated cannons bombarded the city wall in unison, which made these captives fluctuate, and many people were glad that they were not in the city.

In front of the battle, Zhou Fangrong and Xu Kaicheng's hearts were beating wildly, and the army was arrayed two miles away, and they could also feel that the city wall was shaken.

These two people turned out to be the thousand generals of the Qing army, but one won a big victory over Guan and made a meritorious contribution, and the other offered Jiangdong Gate and Jiangdong Bridge, which can be regarded as a contribution, and the green camp captured the army and also needed someone to manage it, so the two were promoted to generals by the line of fire.

At this time, on the artillery array, continuous firing, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the soldiers in front of the formation were like heavenly soldiers flying through the clouds, and the noses of the soldiers were filled with pungent gunsmoke, and the breeches of the red-clothed cannons were already dark red.

After fighting for half an hour, the artillery array was quiet, the artillery was already boiling hot, and it needed to be cooled, and the soldiers could only hear the sound of the bricks and stones on the city wall of Nanjing constantly collapsing, as well as the screams and panic of the Qing troops in the city.

Zhou Fangrong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Siege weapon!" ”

Xu Kai took a sip of the water bag as if the guards were about to come to him, licked his lips, and said to Zhou Fangrong: "This bombardment, no matter how strong Nanjing is, I'm afraid it won't take ten days, and the city wall will have to collapse." ”

"When are we going to go?" Zhou Fangrong saw that the artillery had stopped, and asked casually.

"I guess we'll have to fight for a while!" Xu Kaicheng saw that the artillery team was thinking about cooling the artillery, and said: "We will wait for His Highness's orders, the longer the artillery is fired, the smaller our losses will be." ”

While the two were talking, a chess and card officer, riding a horse, galloped over and said, "Two generals, the feudal lord has convened a meeting!" ”

When they heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly asked people to bring their war horses, flew up, and galloped towards the Chinese army.

In the Chinese army, there are already many generals around Wang Yan, and they listen to him make the final deployment before the siege.

As soon as the two generals of the green battalion arrived, the artillery team, which had stopped for a while, roared again, and more than 70 artillery pieces fired at the city wall again, causing many generals to turn their heads and look at the city of Nanjing.

Wang Yan saw that everyone had arrived, so he said loudly: "Don't look at it, if you want to break the city wall, it's not a matter of a while." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly turned their heads back and listened to Wang Yan's orders.

Wang Yan glanced at everyone, his eyes fell on the two green battalion generals, and then continued: "Although there is a temptation in this siege, you must go all out to give this clan a momentum and strive to fight a battle!" The tasks of the other departments have been explained by this domain, and now the key is the front army! The two generals, Zhou and Xu, come forward! ”

Hearing this, the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp their fists and bowed, "The end will be!" ”

Wang Yan continued: "Nanjing is full of dragons and tigers, and this Qinhuai River is the dragon wrapped around Nanjing's waist, and it can't be filled, so you can only rely on you to build a pontoon bridge." The two of you lead 10,000 horses, and when the shelling is over, first set up the bridge, which must be firm enough and wide enough, and the siege equipment must be able to cross, and when the pontoon bridge is completed, your soldiers will go directly to the city and attack the city wall, understand? ”

"The last will know!" The two were commanded.

Wang Yan nodded, but saw that the two of them had no confidence, so he spoke: "You two can tell the deployment, the rewards and punishments of this domain are clear, as long as you fight hard and establish merits for the Ming Dynasty, you can wash away the identity of the army." ”

Wang Yan paused as he spoke, turned his head around, and suddenly asked Chen Bangyan, "Iwano, is this fan's words too false." ”

Chen Bangyan was about to speak, but Wang Yan twisted his head back again, and continued: "Let's put it this way, kill one head, wash away the identity of the surrendered army, kill two heads, and reward according to the practice of the Ming army. ”

Zhou Fangrong and Xu Kaicheng were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately bowed down, "Your Highness, rest assured, we will serve our lives!" ”

"Good!" Wang Yan sighed in admiration, and then waved his hand and said, "Go back and prepare, and watch the military orders of this domain!" ”

All the generals clenched their fists in unison, their faces were full of solemnity, and after making a promise, they turned over and got on their horses and ran back to the headquarters.

On the city wall, at this time it was full of gunsmoke.

Responsible for the defense of the West City is inlaid with red flags and solid mountains, he is dressed in red armor, guarded by several soldiers, standing on the city wall, the Qing soldiers of the brigade next to him are running, in the artillery fire, all kinds of materials, moved on the city wall.

Weng City, which was being cared for by artillery, was in a mess at this time, and a Qing soldier, dragging a wounded commander, moved slowly on the city, where the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the rubble was everywhere, and there were screams everywhere.

Jin Li led a group of soldiers, and during the journey, he saw the wounded soldiers wailing all over the ground, and he was afraid that it would affect morale, so he immediately waved his hand and said to the guards around him: "You guys, carry them down." ”

As he had finished speaking, he continued on his way, but one of his own soldiers suddenly knocked him down, and an iron bullet flew over their heads and smashed on the tower, and dust and rubble fell.

Jin Li pushed away the pro-soldier, stood up and patted the dust, but the Qing general next to him exclaimed: "Gushan, the front army of the Ming army has moved." ”

Jin Li hurriedly walked to the city wall, looked out, and the front army of the Ming Army, like a flood peak bursting the embankment, surging in, immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Prepare to give this general a headache!" ”
