The huge rocket with eighty pounds of black powder flew straight across the twenty-meter-wide moat, and plunged into the treasure gate, almost instantly a terrifying flame was like the muzzle flame of a cannon, with countless broken bricks sprayed out, even the launcher was directly knocked away by the explosion of the air wave, and the solid city wall trembled fiercely, but it was not blown up, but only caused some partial damage.

At the moment when the debris of the explosion fell, the second rocket launcher was pushed to the position it had just been.

After fixing it, the four Ming soldiers pushing the gun carriage immediately lit the fuse and fled as fast as they could, almost as soon as they reached a safe position, the blazing flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and after crashing into the city gate, they also turned into sprayed flames. Only this time, instead of just spewing outward, the same flames slammed into the first urn city with rubble, although this outrageously strong fortress still did not collapse, but the first gate blocked with wood, stones, mud and the like was directly exploded by two rockets in a row, the terrifying power of one hundred and sixty pounds of gunpowder.

At this time, the Qing army on the city wall was already going crazy, and of course they understood what would happen if the Ming army continued to bombard like this.

The elite soldiers of the Eight Banners with various weapons shouted and quickly rushed over from both sides, trying their best to save the defeat, but on one side of the Jubaomen was Yang Feng, who was like a demon god, and on the other hand, the common people armed with their weapons and the snipers who kept firing on the tower of Dabao'en Temple, none of them could rush over in a short time, and from a distance, because of the angle of the cannon, they could not hit the Ming rocket artillery that almost reached the moat, after all, their cannons still have the limitation of firing range and pitching angle.

And at this moment, the third rocket launcher was pushed up.

At this time, there was no suspense in the battle situation, some of the anxious Ming troops had thrown away their cuirasses and swam directly across the moat, threw ropes up under the city, and quickly climbed the city wall with the help of those ordinary people, and joined the battle above, and further back, the sappers who were ready to build bridges over the moat carried various materials and rushed to this side, and then it would not be long before the huge main force of the Ming army poured into Nanjing City from here.

In the huge explosion of the third rocket blowing open the second city gate, Yang Wangye stood proudly on the city wall, looking at the city of Nanjing, which had been completely disturbed.

The next battle is the real battle.

Nanjing City was indeed breached, but it does not mean that the Qing army will be tied, since he has said that the garrison city will not be left behind, then they will definitely fight to the end, but they have no hope of turning the tide of the war, the next attack on them is not only the Ming army, but also the people in Nanjing City, look at the current city wall, those men, women and children with Qing weapons, you know that these people have the power to vent their anger.

Not far below him, the rocket artillery continued to bombard the city gate, and after the tenth rocket entered, the treasure gate was finally blasted open, and the flames of the explosion erupted from the last gate hole in front and back.

All four gates were penetrated.

"Withdraw, withdraw to the garrison city!"

Upstairs in the Shence Gate City, Ah Shan, who was awakened by the sound of a huge explosion, said with trembling lips.

"You're crazy, haven't you been killed by retreating to the garrison city? If you want me to say fight, we won't survive anyway, so let's just pull more to accompany the funeral! ”

Dajia said with a hideous face.

Both of them understand very well, what does it mean for the treasure gate to be opened, even if the street fight is nothing more than dying early and dying late, the city of Nanjing is broken, this is an unchangeable fact, the continuous influx of tens of thousands of Ming troops will cut off all hope for them, although they still have a garrison city, that is, the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, but even the city of Nanjing was opened overnight, how long can this small city last?

"Idiot, there is still a glimmer of life in the retreat to the garrison city, at this time, the thieves are busy entering the city from the Jubao Gate, the guard outside the Chaoyang Gate is definitely not so thorough, let's retreat to the garrison city, open the Chaoyang Gate and escape from the city!"

Ah Shan said anxiously, he didn't care that Dajia was actually higher than him.

Okay, Dajia seconds understand, now it's not about defending the city, but about escaping, although escaping is also a life of nine deaths, but staying in the city is not a way to survive at all! Different from other city gates, Chaoyang Gate is close to Xiaoling, and the Ming army is afraid that the cannonballs will fall on this Taizu Mausoleum, so there are only a small number of Ming troops outside Chaoyang Gate to prevent the city from coming out, but now they are busy entering the city from Zhonghua Gate, and there must be no strict guarding, which can be said to be the only way to survive.

"Let's go, what kind of world is this, why is it so difficult to be a loyal minister!"

He said indignantly.

The two unscrupulous guys didn't care about informing others, and led the defenders of the Shence Gate along the city wall straight to Chaoyangmen, as for their meat shields, they were not interested in caring at this time, and now it was important to run, who had the time to delay time on them, and at the same time reported the fast horse to quickly rush to the garrison city, and inform the bannermen there to prepare to escape and run away together as soon as they arrived.

At this time, outside the Jubao Gate, the pontoon bridge of the Ming army had been built, and the Ming army of two brigades poured into the city of Nanjing like a flood that burst the embankment, and then quickly separated, one part attacked the other city gates along the city wall to both sides, and some crossed Nanjing and went straight to the Shence Gate to meet the second army that had also begun to attack. With the pace of the Ming army's advance, the number of young and middle-aged people who spontaneously participated in the war is also increasing, and even those who are familiar with the road simply take the Ming army to kill the arsenals everywhere, quickly open the warehouse and take out the knives, guns, bows and spears and arm them to find the Qing army to take revenge.

You must know that in the process of driving them up the city wall, it is impossible for the Qing army not to kill people and set fires, and there are traitorous women who rob property, which is not worth mentioning, these ordinary people have long been full of hatred for them, and now there is such an opportunity to beat the water dogs, how can they let it go.

As for the Qing army in the city at this time, it was completely in chaos, and all the city gates were fighting their own battles, some tried to escape from the city, some simply threw away their weapons and took off their clothes to hide in residential areas, and there were hysterically chasing and killing those who were buried with the meat shield, in short, it was one word......

Disorderly.

It was in this chaos that Ahsan and Dajia successfully collected the defenders of Taipingmen all the way, and together with the Shence Gate, they added up to nearly 20,000 troops, and went straight to Chaoyangmen at the fastest speed, and the people who were notified to garrison the city banner were also quickly prepared to flee. There are not many old and weak women and children here, basically all of them have withdrawn to Yangzhou, and some of them have withdrawn to Jingzhou, only a small number of them have not had time to withdraw because the siege of the Ming army is too fast, these people are gathered in Donghua Gate and waited, as soon as the army of Ahsan and Dajia arrived, they immediately opened the Chaoyang Gate that was not blocked.

Clearly, Ahsan was right.

Not only was there no large number of Ming troops outside Chaoyangmen, but even the battalion that was originally blocked outside was transferred to Jubaomen.

After all, what the Ming army wants is to capture Nanjing, and it is not a big deal for the Qing army to escape out of the city, just a group of lost dogs, even if they escape, where can they flee to? However, they are different for Ashan, as long as there is a glimmer of life, they must fight, from here to the west to Dangtu or Wuhu to hold on, simply cross the river and flee to Anqing, if these two goals can not be achieved, even if they go south to Huangshan to survive, it is better than staying in Nanjing and letting Yang Feng chop up.

Just when the street fighting in the city was raging, 20,000 Qing troops and thousands of old and weak women and children quietly left Chaoyang Gate and went straight east to Tangshan, and they had to bypass the Ming army's camp in the south.

"Want to run? How can there be such a good thing! ”

Lu Yi sat on his horse, looked at the long line of the Qing army in the distance and said with a sneer, on both sides of him, more than 4,000 cavalrymen of the first cavalry brigade lined up side by side, lined up in a long dragon that could not be seen, and all the cavalry held their iconic Zhangba spears in their hands, looking like a group of Polish hussars waiting to charge, just a few feathers on their backs.

The Chaoyang Gate was deliberately opened, just to lure the Qing army out of the garrison city and then kill it, after all, it was the Ming Imperial City, although it had already been dilapidated after half a century of vicissitudes, but it was also where Yang Wangye would live in the future, in case it was destroyed in the war, he would have to trouble repairing it, so he simply laid such a trap, and Ah Shan and Dajia just took the bait.

"Ready!"

Seeing that all the Qing troops entered the ambush range, Lu Yi immediately pulled out his saber and shouted.

An officer beside him immediately took out a match, rubbed it on his breastplate, lit the torch in his hand, and then threw it on the bonfire next to him poured gasoline, and then the raging flames rose into the air, and almost at the same time in the dark wilderness in the distance, dozens of the same bonfires were lit, and the fleeing Qing army was illuminated at once.

"Cavalry brigade, attack!"

Before Ah Shan and the others could react, Lu Yi's saber pointed forward and roared.

Four thousand cavalrymen in a dense row were next to each other, horses to horses, slowly began to stride forward, a long spear stretched out in front, the running of the war horse continued to rise and fall, the sharp spear blade shone in the firelight, like a group of fierce beasts killed from the void, as the speed of the war horse accelerated, the heavy horse hooves continued to trample the ground, as if countless war drums were beating at the same time, and the sledgehammer beat the heart of the Qing army.

"Ming cavalry!"

With the screams of the Qing army who were the first to react, the entire fleeing team was in chaos.

"Mah, you've been tricked!"

Ahsan said to Dajia with a wry smile.

The latter also had a wry smile on his face.

Only a few tens of seconds later, the Ming cavalry with a thunderous shout of killing, went straight into the fleeing Qing army, like smashing porcelain smashed their ranks, with the dense sound of spear shafts breaking, countless Qing troops were nailed to the ground, and then were knocked down by the galloping war horses and stepped under the horses' hooves.
