Jia Yuanyin's camp left in Qilinmen is named Pan Xuezhong, who is said to be from Guangdong, and somehow joined Jia Yuanyin's subordinates, and has always won Jia Yuanyin's trust. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pan Xuezhong's task with 500 men was to occupy the Qilin Gate in order to receive the main force led by Ren Siqi into the city. Occupying a city gate is not only as simple as occupying the gate hole, but also occupying the city gate tower and a section of the city wall on the left and right, otherwise the attack from the city alone will not be able to withstand it.

Pan Xuezhong left 200 cavalry to guard the inside and outside of the city gate to prevent the attack of the green battalion soldiers, and he himself led 300 cavalry along the horse road to kill the city wall. Because the cavalry of the Ming army came too suddenly, there were not many guards on the city wall at this time, but there were more than 20 green battalion soldiers in the city gate tower. The Chongming cavalry suddenly attacked, and these green battalion soldiers were drinking around the stove, not to mention armor, and they couldn't even find weapons in a panic. Many people were so drunk that they didn't know what was going on outside, when they saw the doors and windows kicked open, dozens of three-eyed firearms stretched in, and more than 20 green battalion soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

In addition to a saber per person, the cavalry of the Chongming Army is also equipped with a three-eyed firearm, which can be far or near when fighting, and its strength is not bad. In this only cavalry, Ren Siqi also counted the blood capital.

After destroying the defenders of the city gate tower, leaving a hundred people to control the city gate tower, echoing the hundred cavalry under the city, Pan Xuezhong divided the remaining three hundred cavalry into two, and laid down the killing generals along the city wall to the north and south.

The thickness of the city wall outside Nanjing is six zhang, and the top of the city wall is more than four zhang, and its width is enough for five or six war horses to charge side by side, and the terrain on the city wall is flat, there are no obstacles at all, and it is an excellent battlefield for cavalry to gallop.

Pan Xuezhong personally led one hundred and fifty cavalry to attack the south, destroying the Qing soldiers who appeared along the way. At this moment, the news of the Ming army's entry into the city was already known to the whole city, and soon the defenders of other city gates went to the city to defend and tried to intercept the attacking Ming army. For the Qing army that did not form an array, Pan Xuezhong just continued to impact at an undiminished speed, and the powerful impact of the cavalry was enough to break through the blocking of the green battalion soldiers, and often before the real collision occurred, those green battalion soldiers would throw away their weapons and turn around and flee with a pale face. But they forgot that this city wall was just a long straight road, not a wilderness, even if they wanted to escape, there was nowhere to escape, and the Ming cavalry chased after them, and they didn't need to wave their sabers, but just relied on the iron hooves of the war horses to trample these fleeing green battalion soldiers into pieces.

From the Qilin Gate along the city wall to the south, through the Cangbo Gate, the Gaoqiao Gate, until the upper gate did not encounter organized resistance. It was a green battalion of three hundred men, lined up in a thick array on the city walls, with three rows of bright spears in the front and archers and shieldbearers in the back.

Looking at the neat queue of green battalion soldiers, Pan Xuezhong knew that the one hundred and fifty people who were close to him would not be able to rush through at all, and if he fought forcibly, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties. The cavalry of the Chongming Army was only more than 1,000 people, and it was not used in this place.

Looking at the green battalion soldiers on the opposite side from a distance, Pan Xuezhong ordered to turn around and return to Qilin Gate. Looking at the cavalry of the Ming army who were leaving, this 300-strong green battalion did not dare to pursue behind.

When Pan Xuezhong swept the city wall, Jia Yuanyin had already attacked the Guanyin Gate with a thousand cavalry, easily killed the hundreds of defenders at the city gate, and began to set up a formation under the gate for a while. After this round of rushing and killing in the city, the entire outer city of Nanjing has been stirred into a pot of porridge, and the shouts of the Ming army coming in one after another, the people either fled into their homes in panic, or climbed on the roof excitedly, watching the battle.

"Brothers, the Duke of Yue Guo has sent a large army to come, let's join forces inside and outside to welcome his old man into the city!" In the neighborhood under the Shogunate Mountain, Hou Jing danced with a steel knife and spoke to the hundreds of young people gathered. Hou Jingnai was a meticulous work of the Department of Enemy Intelligence, and was broken into Nanjing as early as half a year ago, and in the past six months, relying on Chongming's financial support, he has developed more than 400 young people who are dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"Brothers, the meritorious deeds are just around the corner, and in the future, follow the old man of Yue Guogong to eat and drink spicy food, everyone has an official to do!" Another member of the Enemy Intelligence Division was also shouting on the side.

Under the encouragement of the two, the morale of hundreds of young men soared, and they rushed out of the neighborhood with shouts, all the way to the nearest Qing army camp. Someone took the lead, naturally there were people from Jingcong, countless Nanjing people walked out of their homes, joined their array, and walked less than a mile on the street, Hou Jing found that the team behind him had more than 3,000 people. The more people there are, the stronger the morale, and when he saw a green battalion of more than 1,000 people driving out of the inner city, Hou Jing couldn't help but take the lead and rushed towards this green battalion.

At the same time, in other streets of Nanjing, there were also seven or eight groups of civilians organized by the enemy's intelligence department, who were marching noisily through the streets, either attacking the green camp defenders at the city gates, or gathering to try to storm the inner city gates.

There are also many people who spontaneously rose up and rushed to the streets with various thoughts, including many people who fished in troubled waters. Ren Siqi had a plan to attack Nanjing as early as the beginning of June, and in the past six months, hundreds of people had been sent to Nanjing, and the expenditure alone amounted to tens of thousands of taels of silver. After months of planning and huge expenses, it is finally time to pay off.

At this time, the strength of the Qing army in Nanjing City was the weakest, and how could 10,000 green battalion soldiers want to control a huge city with millions of people within a radius of 100 miles? What's more, Nanjing has only been occupied for less than a year, and in such a short period of time, the people will not recognize the new identity of the Qing people, even if their hair is shaved off and tied into ugly braids. Their ancestors have lived under the rule of the Ming Dynasty for two or three hundred years, and naturally think that they are still Ming people, even if they do not live well under the rule of the imperial court, even if the taxes are very heavy.

But no matter how bad the old days were, it was much better than living under the rule of barbarians. In the past six months or so, countless wealthy merchants in Nanjing City have been sacked by the Qing soldiers, countless heads have fallen to the ground, and many of the noble gentry of the former Ming Dynasty, those who are willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty or those who are unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, have been purged by the Manchu Dynasty, which has already caused the hearts of the people in Nanjing City to fluctuate.

Now that the Chongming army has suddenly invaded the city, it is meaningless and great news for these people who had been plundered and purged by the Qing army and their relatives and families. The king is here, and the day of revenge has arrived!

When Bu Congshan and other green battalion generals were ordered to go out of the inner city to kill the Ming cavalry that entered the city, they were shocked to find that the city was in chaos, and there were mobs everywhere, so they didn't know how to start!
