Yan Qingshan, who was standing on the bow of the boat, was also anxious, he knew the importance of this army in Jiangyin to his son-in-law. These are all composed of grassroots officers, and it can be said that Zhu Hongsan's family background, if they are all thrown in Jiangyin this time, I don't know what punishment he will receive when he returns to Guangdong.

Yan Qingshan knows his cheap son-in-law too well, and he is murderous and ruthless. If it weren't for the fact that he was still of some use to him, he would have disappeared while returning to Guangdong. His daughter may not be as important as Qian Yong in Zhu Hongsan's eyes.

Yan Qingshan is not the stunned young man of Zhao Guodong, Yan Qingshan has long known that there are Zhu Hongsan's spies on the ship, maybe his first mate is. Thinking of this, Yan Qingshan looked at the first mate who was at the helm, this old brother who had been with him for more than ten years. Since arriving in Guangdong, the king of Chu has been buying his old subordinates in a big way, and the silver, women, and official positions have all been used, not to mention them, even his old rivers and lakes are a little moved when they see these benefits.

Yan Qingshan sighed secretly, if he said that everyone should be pirates again, it is estimated that someone would immediately cut off his head and hand it over to the King of Chu for meritorious service. Yan Qingshan thought about his daughter, and after thinking about it, he was almost fifty years old, and he really didn't have the ambition to cross the world.

The more Yan Qingshan thought about it, the more angry he became, and scolded: "You sea catfish, don't hurry up and drive the boat, if those landlubbers are all dead, see how the King of Chu cleans you up." ”

"Boss Yan, the water situation is unknown, and it's dark, so I can't get up soon!"

"I don't care, I have to rush to Jiangyin at dawn, and everyone can't soak in the water for two hours."

Hearing Yan Qingshan's death order, the sailors had no choice but to spread their sails and speed up on the dark Yangtze River.

At the urging of Boss Yan, the four sea ships finally arrived at the Jiangyin Wharf at dawn.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and from a distance, you could see that the entire Jiangyin City was shrouded in firelight. Yan Qingshan knew that the city was broken after seeing it, and he didn't know if Qian Yong and they could hold on.

When the warship approached the dock, Yan Qingshan saw that the whole city was full of fire, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. The Qing army entered the city and began to slaughter the city.

"Boss, look at the north gate, it seems that the army is still resisting!"

Hearing the shouts of the first mate, Yan Qingshan fixed his eyes and saw through the smoke that there was still a shouting and killing sound at the north gate, and the army wearing red and blue uniforms in the crowd was very conspicuous.

It's good that it's not dead. Yan Qingshan was overjoyed and shouted: "Fire support, the breach at the north gate!" Hit me hard! ”

The sailors below deck also knew that the situation was urgent, and they didn't care what kind of ammunition they caught, and when they caught one, they put it in the barrel and fired it. A couple of guys actually fired chain bombs. But this guy is really good for dense formations, there is a team of 100 Qing troops under the city wall about to enter the city, at this time the chain bullet hit, and only half of the 100 people are left.

Yan Qingshan, who was on the boat, saw it and scolded: "With a grenade shotgun, who the hell used a chain bomb?" "After hearing the order, the sailors began to reap the lives of the Qing army with shrapnel grenades.

Kong Youde, who was behind the Qing army, knew that the Ming army's kind of sea ship was back after hearing the low sound of naval artillery for the first time. Now is the critical stage of the siege, and they must not be allowed to cause trouble at this time. The artillery of the Qing army is just outside the north gate, and this time is the right time to teach these brave Ming army sailors a lesson.

"Order, order the gunners to turn the muzzles of the guns and bombard those big ships for me!" After receiving the order, the gunners of the Qing army began to turn their guns and aimed at the ships of the Ming army's naval division.

Yan Qingshan's attention was on the Qing army outside the city at this time, where he could notice the Qing army's artillery in the distance. When they heard the sound of Qing artillery, it was already too late, and two of their four large ships were hit by Qing artillery. Although there were no major losses, it was the first time that the place had been attacked by enemy artillery.

Yan Qingshan was not only furious when he saw that his No. 3 and No. 4 ships were hit by two cannons by the Qing army. This is the first time that I have been attacked in the north, and I used to press the Qing army to fight.

"Order the No. 1 and No. 2 ships to suppress the artillery fire of the Qing army with all their might! Blow all these Tartars to Grandma's house! ”

The Qing artillery was very slow, fifteen minutes to fire a shot, while the Ming naval artillery could fire one shot per minute. When the Qing gunners were loading, the retaliatory artillery fire of the Ming Navy arrived, and the entire Qing artillery position immediately became a sea of fire. Poor Gongshun Wang Kong Youde did not escape, and was reduced to human body parts by artillery.

In the city, Qian Yong heard the arrival of reinforcements and his spirits perked. Call Han Shirong immediately.

"Han Shirong, you blow up all the artillery, and then concentrate your manpower and prepare to evacuate!"

"What? Division commander, all blown up? ”

"Nonsense, how to get on board with artillery at this time? Execute the command! ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

Qian Yong remembered that there was an artillery company at the east gate, and the situation at the east gate was unclear now, so he didn't know how they were. Qian Yong called his guard squad leader, "You take a few people, go to the east gate, let the artillery company withdraw to the north gate wharf, and blow up all the artillery, don't leave it to the Qing army, you know?" ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The leader of the guard squad took five people, each with five grenades, and ran to the east gate.

At this time, the breach had been completely lost, and more than 10,000 people of Zhao Tongxun were either hacked to death on the spot or fled. As soon as Qian Yong saw that the general situation was gone, he ordered more than 2,000 of his men to attack the north gate.

Now that most of the Qing army has entered the city and is starting to burn and kill, no one cares where Qian Yong's team goes.

Qian Yong led the team to retreat along the city wall to the north gate, and when he saw that the north gate was wide open, the young men who defended the city had already fled somewhere. There was no Qing army guarding outside the city gate, and they were all robbing silver and women in the city at this time.

Qian Yong led people out of the north gate quietly and came to the dock outside the city.

Yan Qingshan was still directing the artillery to bombard the Qing army in the city, when he saw Qian Yong coming to the boat with a group of people, he hurriedly asked people to put down the gangplank and pick up Qian Yong and his party on the boat.

Of the 3,500 people brought by Qian Yong, less than 2,500 are still alive, and the rest are either killed in battle or disappeared in the city.

Yan Qingshan saw Qian Yong on the boat, covered in gunsmoke and covered with blood. He asked, "General Qian, how is it?" ”

When Qian Yong saw Yan Qingshan, he was relaxed and cried loudly. "My brother died more than a thousand people, why did your navy just come back? Where have you been? ”

Seeing the miserable situation of Qian Yong and the army, the sailors of the navy did not reply for the first time. Yan Qingshan sighed and said, "General Qian, we also did our best." ”

Qian Yong saw that Yan Qingshan and the sailors were also covered in gunsmoke, and there were many damages on the ship, it seemed that it was also a vicious battle with the Tartar sailors, and Qian Yong had nothing to say.
