After the capture of the Jiangyin fortress, on March 2, the Zheng fleet continued to move up the river to Zhenjiang, in addition to occupying military strategic points and defending their own rear defense, but also to cut off the Caoliang Canal (the Beijing grain route was cut off).

Since the opening of the Grand Canal, the grain in the north, especially in Beijing, has to rely on the grain produced in the southern Huguang and Huai regions, and the Grand Canal is used to transport it north.

Once the Grand Canal is cut off, the north is afraid that it will fall into a rice panic.

The Zheng fleet is strong, with thousands of large and small ships and 725 guns.

Zhenjiang Qing soldiers only 1238 banner soldiers, 6000 green battalion soldiers, after hearing the news of the Zheng army's attack, Qing Jiangning Governor Jiang Guozhu, Admiral Guan Zhong busy from the field to mobilize and send Mei Lezhang Jing Ka Chu Ha led 4700 green battalion soldiers to settle in Zhenjiang City.

After the persuasion failed, on March 3, the Zheng Jiashui division began to attack the city, and the rattan armor soldiers ran forward with the rattan armor shield.

Fearing that the Han people would surrender to Nacheng, the Qing army would send Mele Zhangjing Kachuha to take charge of the defense of Zhenjiang early.

As a Manchu man, Kachuha also knew that after the Han surrendered, they could still be their officials.

But once the Manchurians surrender, their lives will not be guaranteed, and the future will never be considered.

For the sake of his own future, Kachu Hake fought for his life.

Kachuha used 500 banner soldiers as overseers, and 500 people drove the green battalion soldiers forward to fight against the Zheng army.

Take a step back and kill directly, without mercy.

Seeing that the rattan armor soldiers were approaching, on the city tower, the Qing army arranged the artillery fire transported from Nanjing at the head of the city to block the Zheng army besieging the city, using the battlements as a cover, step by step, and hand-to-hand combat with the Zheng army who climbed the city tower.

Seeing that the defenders resisted resolutely, the losses of the Zheng family army were a bit heavy, and Lin Xishan was busy withdrawing from the army.

The Zheng family's water division finally retreated, and Ka Chuha breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sword and shouted: "This time we can repel the rebels, thanks to everyone." When I go back, I will be rewarded. If anyone can offer the head of the enemy, he will be rewarded with six taels of silver. ”

Hearing Kachuha say that there was a reward, the Qing soldiers cheered up and down. Many of the soldiers dropped their weapons and lay down on the top of the city to take a breath and drink a few sips of water.

Kachuha instructed Gao Qian, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, to stay and inspect, and the prefect Dai Kejin organized the young and strong to treat the wounded soldiers and move the equipment to defend the city.

Ka Chuha returned to the government by himself, and prepared to send troops to loot the rich merchants in Zhenjiang City, so as to get a silver reward and enrich his pockets.

Of course, it's better to find a beautiful chick to warm the bed at night.

Even if Lao Tzu dies, he has to have a good time and earn enough.

Ka Chuha thought that Zheng Jiajun would retreat like this, but he didn't expect that this retreat was just to paralyze the Qing army.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers on the city wall were relaxed, Lin Xishan did not let people beat the drum and march.

Let the rattan armor soldiers under his command carry some earthy yellow cotton cloth and some blue-green cotton cloth on their bodies, and use the curved ditches and trees outside the city to slowly approach Zhenjiang City.

When he sneaked into the city for about three or four hundred meters, the Qing army sentry at the head of the city suddenly discovered Zheng Jiajun and hurriedly shouted and rang the gong.

At this time, the war drums of the Zheng family army suddenly sounded, and the vine armor soldiers stood up and rushed to the city.

At this time, the Zheng family naval division also carried the light artillery on the ship ashore and sent it to a short distance below the city, using artillery and muskets to fire at the Qing army at the head of the city.

Kachuha is not here, no one is under his command, the banner soldiers are scattered and chaotic, and there is no order to advance and retreat. I don't know if I should threaten the Green Battalion to come forward to stop it, or if I should go back to protect Kachuha to break through.

Without the threat of the banner soldiers, the Green Battalion soldiers had no interest in serving the Manchus, and turned around and fled desperately.

As soon as the Qing soldiers fled, the speed of the Zheng army's siege of the city accelerated.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Zheng army launched strong attacks again and again, and the vine armor soldiers successfully killed the city.

After killing the few resisting banner soldiers at the head of the city, the vine armor soldiers divided into two routes, one from the city head to the other city gates, to control the commanding heights of the city wall.

One ran down the city to the gate, ready to open it.

As soon as the gate opened, countless Zheng family troops poured into the city.

Seeing that the city gates were lost, Zhenjiang couldn't hold it.

Moreover, the Manchu Qing failed one after another, and the Han officials who had defected to the Manchus had changed their minds at this time.

Qing Zhenjiang guard Gao Qian and prefect Dai Kejin glanced at each other and immediately decided to surrender the city.

In the city palace, his doglegs just went to catch a beautiful chick and sent it to Kachuha's room.

When Kachuha entered the door, he saw a woman hiding in a corner trembling and looking at her in fear because she was afraid of clinging to her clothes.

An indescribable rush of desire welled up in Kachuha's heart, and he laughed and took off his clothes as he walked.

As soon as he got closer, he pulled the girl over and tore her clothes apart. The girl screamed in fear, and Kachuha listened even more excitedly.

Just as Kachuha was excited, the gate was slammed open, and dozens of bannermen rushed in.

Ka Chuha was furious, and just when he wanted to open his mouth to scold, the banner soldiers pulled Mel Zhangjing Ka Chuha out of the door, and shouted as he walked: "My lord, it's not good, the Zheng family army has invaded the city, run!" ”

Kachuha was taken aback when he heard this, "What? How so. Didn't Zheng Jiajun just retire? ”

The flag soldier cried and said: "We have been deceived, Zheng Jiajun returned and attacked us shortly after retreating!" ”

Mel Zhangjing Ka Chuha also panicked at this time, knowing what the consequences of being caught by Zheng Jiajun was, he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly protect me and break through!" ”

Hundreds of cavalry supporters went out, climbed on their horses, and galloped to the west gate, preparing to flee to Nanjing.

At this time, it is important to escape, and it is okay to take care of whether you are wearing clothes or not.

The whole body **** rode on horseback, straddled and wiped off a piece of dry skin on the bumpy horseback.

The spring breeze in March was still a little cold, and the cold wind blew, and Kachuha felt that the whole province was cold.

At this time, Kachuha couldn't care about this.

It's best to get out of the city as soon as possible and don't block people inside the city.

As long as you escape from the city, you must flee back to Nanjing City with your fast horse.

Seeing that Simon was just around the corner, Kachuha's heart was filled with joy.

When you go back, you must fight hundreds of rounds with those Han women who have come back from robbery, so as to dispel your resentment today.

When Ka Chu Hadu was thinking about going back to Nanjing, there was a sudden bang, and hundreds of war horses fell off their horses like pouring beans.

It's okay for the flag soldiers to wear cotton armor, which can somewhat offset some of the impact.

Kachuha was miserable, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground, displacing all the internal organs.

And the whole body is ****, after falling off the horse and rolling on the ground a few times, the skin of the whole body is worn by sand and stones in many places, and the whole body is hot.

More than 1,000 Zheng Jiashui masters were smoking from the muzzles of the guns at the head of the city, and Liu Guoxuan stood at the head of the city and laughed as he looked at the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground.

"I knew there would be deserters, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish. Come on, take care of all this. Find a military doctor to treat them, they must not be allowed to die! ”

Kachuha was still dizzy, so he was tied up by Zheng Jiajun and stuffed a mouthful of stinky socks in his mouth.

With the last banner soldier at the head of the city being slashed and killed, Zhenjiang City fell into the hands of the Zheng family.

In the Zhenjiang Mansion, Lin Xishan sat in the main seat and looked at the Zhenjiang guard Gao Qian and the prefect Dai Kejin who were standing respectfully in the audience.

"The two of you know the righteousness and can revolt in battle, and the general will definitely reward you!"

Gao Qian and Dai Kejin hurriedly arched their hands and said: "We are also the name of the long-admiring country, and I can't wait to see each other!" ”

Although Lin Xishan felt that they were disgusting, for the sake of the general, he could only say: "There will be a chance, now that Zhenjiang has been recovered, it will be my lord's ...... in the future, and it will be the land of the Ming Dynasty." You two must appease the people, whoever dares to take advantage of the chaos to commit a crime will be killed! I will also send troops to help you manage Zhenjiang well. ”

"Yes, the lower officials will definitely do a good job in the aftermath after the war."

"You go down first, I will send someone to report your merits to the general!"

"Retire!"

After Gao Qian and Dai Ke retreated, Liu Guoxuan came in and muttered a few words in Lin Xishan's ear.

Lin Xishan was furious when he heard it, and drank: "Is that woman's family all killed!" ”

Liu Guoxuan nodded, "Don't even let go of a pregnant woman!" ”

Lin Xishan said gloomily: "I heard that Emperor Yongli has always felt that there are few people in the palace. As a loyal general, how can he not relieve the emperor's worries. Come on, clean up Kachuha and send it to the Zhaoqing Emperor's Palace! ”

Liu Guoxuan was happy for a while when he heard that he was going to make Ka Chuha a eunuch, but he immediately said: "It's cheap for him like this!" ”

Lin Xishan glanced at Liu Guoxuan and said: "Since Ka Chuha has a **** habit, we should satisfy others." Let him go to Zhaoqing naked! By the way, don't forget to give people bee water, others in the province say that we Zheng Jiajun don't understand etiquette. ”

Liu Guoxuan heard a chill, his whole body was naked, and with honey water, would Ka Chuha still have the life to go to Zhaoqing alive? (To be continued.) )
