The boats floated on the river, and several small boats took the lead in approaching the shore, and nearly a hundred soldiers jumped down, dragged the boats ashore, and then carried ladders and carefully touched the city.

In the western sky, the firelight kept flashing, one by one the fireballs crossed the night sky, and the rumbling cannons and shouts came from afar, which seemed to be a fierce battle, but the entire section of the southern city wall was another scene, and the entire section of the city wall was pitch black, which seemed very peaceful.

From the siege of the Ming army to the present, Nancheng has never been attacked, and the defenders can still cheer up at first, but after more than a month has passed, plus the elites have been transferred to Xicheng, the guards of Nancheng have been seriously slack.

The Ming army attacked at night and fired artillery during the day, and the men and horses in the south of the city couldn't sleep at first, but it was like this for several days, and they slowly got used to it.

The rumbling cannons came one after another, and several old and weak Western troops in the southern city didn't even bother to raise their heads, and continued to doze off behind the battlements.

The southern city is close to the Yangtze River, because it is generally not attacked, so it is not paid much attention to the construction, the specifications are obviously not as good as the western city, the city wall is not tight and low, and some dilapidated.

Li Dingguo personally led more than 100 elite soldiers, and after going ashore, they lurked in the darkness a hundred steps away from the southern city.

He was the main general, and he should not have taken the risk, but this attack was extremely important to the Ming army, in case the sneak attack failed and was discovered, Li Dingguo might be able to rely on his prestige in the Western Army to persuade the defenders to surrender.

In order to prevent the iron armor from making a sound, Li Dingguo and the others only wore placket armor and a black coat on the outside, so that the figure merged with the night, and then slowly approached the city wall.

At this time, as soon as Li Dingguo waved his hand, several soldiers quietly erected a few long ladders, and the barbs on the ladders were wrapped with cotton cloth to avoid making a noise when hanging on the city wall.

Everyone came to the ladder lightly, Li Dingguo was unyielding, and wanted to climb first, but his guards next to him dragged him, and then glanced at a sturdy man next to him, who immediately put the Miao knife in his mouth, held the ladder with both hands, and climbed lightly to the wall.

The personal guard who grabbed Li Dingguo, also holding a war knife, followed the sturdy man a few steps away, and climbed up behind him, and the ladder made a slight creaking sound under their pressure.

Li Dingguo waited below, watching his subordinates go up to the city one by one, and he was a little worried at first, but as more and more people went up, he was relieved.

The five loyal troops are the elite army, and his personal soldiers are the elite of the elite.

At this time, Li Dingguo was looking up, and a soldier above suddenly leaked his upper body from between the walls, stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo immediately climbed up, and when he climbed the city wall, he looked left and right from between the walls, and the soldiers were clinging to the city wall, moving towards the city tower with their waists bent.

He jumped up to the city, but felt that the soles of his feet were slippery, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw two corpses lying at his feet, both of which had been stabbed in the throat, and had been bled to death.

There are still many such corpses on the entire section of the city wall, which shows that the defense is indeed lax.

In front, several Ming soldiers moved forward alternately, and soon arrived next to the city tower.

Inside the gate building, the candles flickered, the figures swayed, and from time to time there were shouts and laughter. If Li Dingguo heard correctly, it should be the soldiers who gambled money inside.

The military discipline of the Western Army is not bad, Sun Kewang is still strict in governing the army, gambling and fighting are prohibited in the army, and the real military discipline of the Western Army will not be so corrupt.

Sun Kewang transferred the main force of the Western Army to guard the Xicheng, and the other three sides could only be handed over to the miscellaneous soldiers and the bandits who took refuge in him to guard.

The defenders of Nancheng are a group of green forest heroes, they are used to being scattered and unrestrained, Sun Kewang thought that Nancheng would not be attacked, so he didn't care about them.

At this time, more than 100 Ming troops had climbed the city wall, and as soon as Li Dingguo waved his hand, a general banner immediately led forty or fifty people to walk down the city along the road to the city, ready to open the city gate and welcome the army into the city.

Li Dingguo took out a fire fold, lit a torch, first shook it on the surface of the river, and then pointed it directly to the city tower.

The fleet outside the city saw the signal, and Yu Youming immediately ordered, "The big boat lands from the pier, and the small boat rushes directly to the river beach, hurry!" Fast! Fast! ”

The big boat approached the wharf outside the southern city, and the soldiers immediately lined up to disembark, and the small boat rushed to the river, and the soldiers jumped from the boat, took their weapons, and rushed to the city gate without orders???

At this time, under the castle tower, the city gate creaked, and it was opened by the soldiers who went down, and the castle tower was also set on fire.

The heroes inside were gambling around Fang Zhuo, and a man suddenly raised his head, "Mother, go to the water!" Which handful of birds are patrolling outside, and they don't know how to shout when there is a fire! ”

The good men in the room were a little unconvinced, but when they turned their heads to see that the building had already burned, they were suddenly shocked, scolded and accepted the copper coins on the table, and then hurriedly pushed the door out.

More than a dozen people poured out of the door, and the Ming soldiers who were in ambush on both sides suddenly fired bows and arrows, and the heroes were caught off guard, and before they could react, most of them were shot down in an instant.

"Kill!" As soon as Li Dingguo's sword waved, the Ming soldiers immediately swarmed up, and many people were cut down before they could draw their swords.

At this time, the dense footsteps under the city sounded, and the Ming army of the brigade began to pour into the city gate, and the Ming soldiers on the street who were secretly numb directly followed the street into the city, and the sound of killing in the south city immediately shook the sky.

The battle on the west city has entered the white heat, the Ming Deng City troops climbed to the city under the cover of firearms, regardless of life and death, and the Ming army climbed the city wall from all directions.

Sun Kewang was originally supervising the battle in the rear, but with the urgency of the war, he had already picked up his weapons and led the guards to fight in the city. The sound of the western city was monstrous, and the cannon roared, and he did not notice the change in the southern city.

At this time, a group of forty or fifty Ming troops occupied a section of the city wall, Sun Kewang was commanding the guards to press up, wanting to throw this group of Ming troops off the city wall, suddenly he heard a commotion behind the city, and the artillery under the city shouted in fear, "Not good! The Ming army has entered the city! ”

When Sun Kewang heard this, he was stunned, how could the secret path be possible? He only thought that someone had started a rebellion with the help of the people of the Ming army.

He turned around and wanted to find out the source of the rebellion, but he saw the fire of the southern city, and at this moment, a member of the western general stumbled over, separated the soldiers, came to him, and knelt directly on the ground to report, "Oh no, the Ming army has entered the city from the south gate." ”

The person who came was a veteran, it was impossible to talk nonsense, Sun Kewang was so shocked that his heart was broken, and countless questions rose in his heart, how could the Ming army enter the city from the south gate, did they have wings?

Just when he was shocked, a Ming army general had led a team of men and horses, from the south to the west of the city, only to see his big iron gun wave, more than a dozen soldiers rushed up to sweep out, he looked up at the city, just saw Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang saw the people, immediately screamed in shock, turned around and left.
