After Liu Liangzuo led his troops to Changzhou Mansion, he took a short rest, replenished grain and grass equipment, and incorporated other miscellaneous green battalion soldiers in Changzhou Prefecture, with a strength of 5,000 people, and developed towards Jiangyin, arriving at Qinwang Mountain in the southwest of Jiangyin City on 21 June of leap June, defeating thousands of righteous people entrenched in the vicinity, and continuing to march towards Jiangyin.

As more and more righteous people defected to his subordinates, Chen Mingyu, the history of Jiangyin, felt more and more powerless. He turned out to be just a small canon, promoted from a small official, if you talk about the handling of government affairs, he is very familiar with himself, but he is very amateur when it comes to leading troops to fight. Fortunately, the people in Jiangyin City are still united, and with the assistance of Feng Houdun, Zhou Ruilong, and Zeng Hualong, who are in military equipment, everything is still in order. However, every day there are righteous people entering the city, and now the total number of righteous people in the city is nearly 100,000, and the miscellaneous village soldiers under his command add up to 20,000 or 30,000, but most of them are rabble. Fortunately, General Liu of the Chongming Army in Jingjiang sent 1,000 troops into the city, which made Chen Mingyu much more confident. But for some reason, Liu Zhaoji in Jingjiang himself refused to enter Jiangyin City, and most of his subordinate troops remained in Jingjiang, which made Chen Mingyu faintly uneasy.

Chen Mingyu asked himself if he was handsome, if Liu Zhaoji was willing to enter Jiangyin, he would definitely give up the position of leader.

No, the situation is getting more and more complicated, I have to find someone to help me, at this moment, Chen Mingyu suddenly remembered a person, the previous Jiangyin Dian Shi Yan Yingyuan.

Yan Yingyuan is the previous Jiangyin canonical history, excellent martial arts, especially good at archery, because of his merit was promoted by the Hongguang Imperial Court to the master of Yingde County, Shaozhou, Guangdong, Yan Yingyuan did not go to Guangdong, but was idle in the countryside of Jiangyin. If Yan Dianshi helps me, great things can be done! Chen Mingyu said secretly, but before he could send someone to invite Yan Yingyuan into the city, he suddenly heard the news that the Qing soldiers were coming again.

On the 21st of leap June, Liu Liangzuo led an army of more than 5,000 soldiers to Jiangyin City, and the rebels in Jiangyin City went out of the city to attack the Qing soldiers who had not gained a firm foothold, but they were easily killed by Liu Liangzuo's troops, and then closed their doors.

Of the more than 5,000 people under Liu Liangzuo, 3,000 are his original personal soldiers, and they are extremely powerful, how can they be compared with the righteous people in Jiangyin City?

After defeating the rebel army outside the city, Liu Liangzuo sent people to recruit Jiangyin and sent troops to attack the towns outside the city. The fierce Green Battalion soldiers burned and plundered everywhere outside the city, and the nearby villages and towns were plunged into billowing smoke.

"General Sha, please be sure to send troops to relieve the elders outside the city." Chen Mingyu personally came to the barracks of the Chongming Army in Beicheng and made a request to Sha Qianli, who was stationed in Beicheng, Jiangyin.

"Chen Dianshi rest assured, it is the duty of my Chongming Army to defend the people, I have sent someone to send the news to Jingjiang, as soon as General Liu Zhen's order arrives, I will send troops to cooperate with General Liu Zhen inside and outside, and completely annihilate Liu Liangzuo's troops!" Sha Qianli said with emotion.

After receiving Sha Qianli's reply, Chen Mingyu returned to the county government worriedly, and convened Zhou Ruilong, Shao Kanggong and others to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy.

Zhou Ruilong had 500 soldiers under him, and Shao Kanggong also recruited hundreds of warriors, and the two were the main force defending Jiangyin City.

"Our subordinates are all ordinary people who have joined the army in a hurry, and they are far from being the opponents of the elite Green Battalion soldiers. If you want to defeat the Qing soldiers, you have to ask the Chongming army to take action. Shao Kanggong has just experienced a big defeat, he led more than 1,000 righteous subordinates to attack Liu Liangzuo who had just arrived in Jiangyin, but was defeated, more than 200 people were killed and wounded, and now I still have palpitations when I think about it, so I naturally refuse to send troops outside the city.

"Brother Shao is right, the Qing army that came this time is far more elite than before, and there are more than 1,000 horsemen among them, which is not something we can deal with, we just need to keep the city gate and not lose it. As for destroying the enemy, leave it to the Chongming army. "A few days ago, Zhou Ruilong, the commander of the capital, led his soldiers to defeat a thousand Qing army and won a great victory. Now even he said so, Chen Mingyu knew that it was really not advisable to take the initiative to send troops, so it was better to defend the city honestly.

"Report, uncle, the four gates of Jiangyin City are closed, and there has been no sign of sending troops." His subordinate Tanma reported to Liu Liangzuo the movements in Jiangyin City.

Liu Liangzuo sighed for a long time, he divided his troops to plunder in all directions to lure Jiangyin City to send troops, so as to take the opportunity to capture Jiangyin, since Jiangyin was not fooled and refused to send troops, this strategy of luring the enemy would lose its effect.

"Send the order down and withdraw the ministries." Liu Liangzuo ordered.

It seems that the city can only be forcibly attacked! Liu Liangzuo secretly said in his heart that when it came to the siege, he would have a headache, because the tragic siege battle under Yangzhou was still his nightmare.

Under the city of Yangzhou, Liu Liangzuo's army of more than 60,000 troops was first broken through by the thousands of Ming troops who raided Yangzhou, and he himself was also relieved of the command of the army by Duoduo. In the ensuing siege battle, the army originally subordinate to him was bled in Yangzhou, and nearly 20,000 people died under the city of Yangzhou, including many of his subordinates.

Now, he was about to face another siege battle, and he had to drive his brothers to attack the strong walls with their flesh and blood. When he was subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, he could choose not to fight, he could choose to escape, but now he never dared to have the idea of avoiding war.

For the surrender of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to say that Liu Liangzuo does not regret it, after all, from the dignified earl of a town warlord in the hands of tens of thousands of troops, to now he does not even have a specific official position, there are only a few thousand people left in his hands, if he does not regret it, I am afraid that no one will believe it. But no matter how much he regretted it, Liu Liangzuo didn't dare to have other thoughts. Although the surrender of the Manchus was far less than before, it was able to stay alive. The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have been the trend of the times, and it is the best choice to adapt to the times and serve the new dynasty. As for the officials, as long as they can make great contributions and are loyal to the Manchus, are you afraid that you will not be able to become a high-ranking official in the future? Kong Youde and others can be crowned kings, why can't I Liu Liangzuo?

After the withdrawal of the various units, Liu Liangzuo immediately began to deploy the strategy of attacking Jiangyin. He already has an understanding of Jiangyin's strength, these days, Changzhou Governor Zongjing sent a lot of fine works to Jiangyin City, although most of the fine works were identified and killed by the Jiangyin rebels, there are still some people who survived, and sent out a steady stream of information.

Liu Liangzuo knew that the leaders of the rebellious people in Jiangyin City were Chen Mingyu and others, and he also knew that most of the troops in the city were composed of ordinary people, and the real army was the Chongming army that had just entered the city for a few days.

He is not afraid of the ordinary rebel Liu Liangzuo, what really makes him jealous is the 1,000 Chongming army, which is Ren Siqi's army!

Therefore, Liu Liangzuo did everything possible to lure the Chongming army in the city out and eliminate it by field warfare, but who knew that they were not fooled. This made Liu Liangzuo have no choice but to revise the siege strategy.
