Liu Liangzuo's strategy was very simple, that is, to capture a large number of people in the nearby villages and force them to attack the city with knives and guns. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The rebels in Jiangyin City are inextricably linked with the nearby people, and many of the rebels in the city have just entered the city from the countryside to participate in the righteous deeds.

Liu Liangzuo only has more than 5,000 troops in his hands, and he can't break through Jiangyin City, which is defended by tens of thousands of people, and only by adopting this method can he have any hope of capturing Jiangyin.

Persecuting the people to attack the city has always been the most brutal and inhumane siege method, and it is often only used in the war within the enemy's country, but since Liu Liangzuo surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he no longer regarded himself as a Ming man, and for his own future, he did no matter how cruel he was.

After setting up camp, Liu Liangzuo sent troops to the countryside and captured tens of thousands of people in one day. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population of Jiangnan was extremely dense, the villages and towns looked forward, and the fields and Mo were connected, unlike the endless wars in the north, and the villages in the south of the Yangtze River were mostly without any defensive measures, and it was very easy to capture the people.

The wolf-like green battalion soldiers rushed into the people's homes, wantonly plundered, and then forced the people to come down to Jiangyin City.

Tens of thousands of people helped the old and the young, crying and begging, and went to Jiangyin City. The green battalion soldiers with knives and guns in their arms were stuffed with bulging bags, one by one holding sharp blades, and followed behind with fierce looks. Seeing the people who walked slowly and couldn't walk, they couldn't help but say that it was a knife.

Chen Mingyu stood at the head of Jiangyin City, and saw such a scene, countless fathers and villagers were driven by the Qing soldiers and cried and came to Jiangyin.

Jiangyin is just a small county town, and the moat outside the city is only one zhang wide, which can be easily crossed by only a ladder or a long log, and Chen Mingyu clearly saw that many people were forced to carry bamboo ladders and long logs to the moat.

"Hurry up and release the arrows!" Dusi Zhou Ruilong commanded sharply, and with his words, more than a dozen sparse arrows flew down the city and fell into the moat, and few of them hit the target. The city is full of its own villagers, how can the villagers bear to shoot at them?

"Daddy, Daddy!" A villager in his twenties threw down the short knife in his hand, put his hands on the battlement, and shouted fiercely at the city.

"Uncle!"

"Second aunt!"

......

More and more village soldiers found their relatives in the city and couldn't help shouting.

"Master Chen, save my mother." A villager knelt down in front of Chen Mingyu, praying with tears on his face.

More and more people crossed the moat and came under the city walls, and under the persecution of the Qing soldiers, they set up ladders and climbed to the top of the city.

The village soldiers at the head of the city lifted stones and rolled logs, and drew bowstrings, but there was no confusion and how to do it.

"Bastard, throw stones, let them attack us and we won't survive!" Zhou Ruilong scolded sharply, personally lifted a stone and threw it down the city, and there was immediately a scream below.

Under his leadership, more and more villagers threw down bricks and stones, shot arrows, and the screams of the city resounded.

The people who besieged the city just climbed the ladder, and then ushered in a fierce blow to the city, many people were smashed on the head and broke the blood, honestly where have they seen this kind of battle, when they saw the people around them screaming and falling in a pool of blood, one by one let out a terrible scream, frightened and turned around and fled, along the pontoon bridge erected on the moat to escape outside the city.

Liu Liangzuo had a cold face and ordered his subordinate green battalion soldiers to kill the people who dared to retreat. When hundreds of heads were cut off by the green battalion soldiers, the people stopped fleeing in fear and were forced to walk towards the city again.

"Master Dianshi, save my father!" Many of the township soldiers guarding the city at the head of the city were countrymen, and they gathered in Jiangyin City in order to resist the Qing Dynasty, and when they saw their relatives being forced to attack again, they couldn't help but make a request. Some of them took up their swords and guns and rushed to the city gates, and they wanted to fight out of the city to save their relatives.

"No one is allowed to leave the city without the order of Lord Dianshi!" Shao Kanggong led a hundred and ten personal soldiers to block in front of the city gate.

Seeing the chaos in the city and the city, Chen Mingyu couldn't help but sigh, Liu Liangzuo took this vicious method, so that he didn't know what to do. But he also knew that he couldn't let things get worse, otherwise the general would be in turmoil.

It is necessary to send troops out of the city to attack, so as to break the conspiracy of the Qing army and rescue the persecuted people, so as to stabilize the morale of the army, Chen Mingyu said secretly. But if you take the initiative to attack out of the city, will you fall into the trap of the enemy? Maybe Liu Liangzuo had already ambushed the elite soldiers and waited for the village soldiers to leave the city, so as to take the opportunity to attack the city.

Just when Chen Mingyu was undecided, someone suddenly came to report that Sha Qianli, who was defending the northern city, had led a thousand Chongming troops to the city and asked to lead troops to attack. Chen Mingyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed to Sha Qianli's request.

The city gate opened, and Sha Qianli led a thousand Chongming troops out of the city, and went along the city wall to kill the Qing army besieging the city.

Seeing that the Ming army in the city was killed, the besieging side was suddenly in chaos, and the persecuted people jumped off the ladder and shrank to the city wall with their heads in their hands. The Qing soldiers who were mixed with the people greeted them with swords and guns. The two sides fought in the narrow area of the walls and moat.

The number of Qing soldiers who forced the people to attack the city was also more than 1,000, which was about the same as the Chongming army, but they did not expect that the Ming army would suddenly kill, and then they were scattered in order to force the people to attack the city. The Chongming army was prepared to fight unprepared, and scattered with strict order, and soon defeated the Qing army under the city, and many Qing soldiers threw away their weapons and fled along the pontoon bridge erected on the moat.

Of course, the Chongming army had to beat the water dogs and chase them down the pontoon bridge, killing countless Qing soldiers or jumping into the moat crying.

After chasing the moat, Sha Qianli sorted out the queue a little, and resolutely waved his army to kill the Qing army array. The gate of Jiangyin City was wide open and began to attract people from outside the city into the city.

"Hahaha, can't you help it?" Seeing that the Chongming army was lured out, Liu Liangzuo laughed and immediately ordered his soldiers who had been prepared a long time ago to kill the generals.

The 1,000-strong Green Battalion soldiers attacked head-on under the leadership of his nephew Liu Qing, while the other two 1,000-strong Green Battalion soldiers outflanked them on the left and right. The three troops surrounded the Chongming army that was out of the city, and there was a burst of killing.

Sha Qianli commanded a hollow phalanx under a thousand hands, with pikemen outside, musketeers and archers in the middle, fighting with the Qing soldiers with few enemies and more fearlessly.
