In less than an hour after Xie Fei touched into the city, Yang Chao was also nervously sitting outside the city to prepare.

First, everyone stopped the boat in the distance, and then quietly landed and lurked a hundred feet away from the city.

Then the military orders were passed on.

If Xie Fei could quietly open a city gate, it would be best for them to rush in as fast as they could, occupy a city gate, and then enter the city with the whole army and launch a night battle against the enemy, in the darkness, it should be able to cause great chaos.

Yang Chao thought about it many times, since the Qing army had been slaughtered for ten days after entering the city, it meant that their military discipline would not be too good in these ten days, once the soldiers were in a frenzy, they would not care about military discipline at that time, and whoever dared to stop them, they would dare to use knives.

That is to say, at least the military discipline of the Qing army is still very chaotic, and only when these soldiers have released the madness in their hearts, and then kill a few people, can they be deterred and restore military discipline.

Therefore, it is advantageous to start a chaotic battle at this time, and it is possible to defeat the Qing army of more than 100,000 with 10,000 people, even if it cannot be victorious, after killing indiscriminately, there is a great hope of seizing a city gate and successfully escaping.

These soldiers were brought to siege the city in order to train them and let the fear in their hearts be completely released, not to really send them to death.

Therefore, Yang Chao put forward the second point, that is, he must maintain good military discipline on his side, take 100 people as a unit, and must closely follow the attack of 100 generals and other officers, and must not be chaotic.

Otherwise, even if you want to withdraw, you can't do it.

Third, a guide was also assigned to each hundred corps, which was during the defense of Yangzhou, a personal soldier who followed Yang Chao, and these people followed Yang Chao to inspect the city defense, which can be said to have run all over Yangzhou City, and they were familiar with every position.

Yang Chao's order to all the soldiers was to gather around Bai Zong under the guidance of the guide, attack and advance from east to west, and do not stop. Attack from a certain gate in the east to the wall in the west, and then break through the gate, and do not look back during the battle.

"Your Excellency. The lantern is on! ”

A red lantern lit up in the southwest corner.

This is a signal that Xie Fei has captured a city gate.

The city gate in the southeast corner, luckily, is the closest to Yang Chao.

"Zhao Kang, set off immediately. Occupy the city gate as soon as possible to support Xie Fei! ”

Yang Chao ordered Zhao Kang to advance with the remaining three hundred pro-soldiers, and to stabilize his foothold as soon as possible.

Zhao Kang set off immediately.

Only then did Wang Pu's soldiers begin to advance.

Yang Chao's expectation that Xie Fei fell into a bitter battle did not appear, because he didn't expect that Xie Fei was not the city gate that was seized, but handed over to him by the Tartars, which was lucky, but even if the Tartars were not handed over to him, under the sneak attack of a hundred people, as long as the Tartars did not have a thousand people, they could not resist it.

After Yang Chao followed Wang Pu's vanguard into the city, he sighed. Then assign a new character immediately.

"Don't stay with me, go and attack Xiaodongmen immediately!"

"Wang Pu, you send someone to capture the Great East Gate."

The large and small east gates are the two gates of the east wall of the old city wall, but now this wall is the division of the old and new city, that is, a wall in the middle of the city.

The purpose of occupying the two city gates is naturally to go to the West City, that is, the Old City, as soon as possible.

The old city is not as prosperous as the new city, because the old city is mainly the place where the gentry lived in the early Ming Dynasty, while the new city is the place where the merchant class appeared after the social stability. In the past, merchants lived outside the old city and built houses along the walls, but when new walls were added, they became residents of the new city. The new city is even more prosperous.

But it is not unreasonable that Yang Chao is not in a hurry to fight in the bustling new city, but wants to go to the old city as soon as possible.

Because the gentry lived in the old city, all the officials in Yangzhou were basically in the old city, and the new city was basically ordinary people and merchants except for the banknotes.

According to reason. Surely Duoduo would have lived in the governor's palace or the governor's office.

Yang Chao's target was the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion on the west and east side of the Wen River, close to the Wenchang Pavilion.

And Wang Pu also led a group of elite soldiers to attack the governor's yamen, Jiangdu county yamen and other places.

Yang Chao trotted forward with the soldiers.

From time to time, there are rioters on the streets, carrying large bags and small bags in their arms, and even a woman on their shoulders.

Seeing the movement of the large group of soldiers, they didn't care at all, and sometimes they would secretly shout and curse, and then avoid the army.

Of course, there are also rebels who encounter small forces.

"Which part of you are?"

Someone asked.

Yang Chao still moved forward: "We are Li Benshen's subordinates. ”

At this time, he could still only pretend to be the rest of Gao Jie, Yang Chao thought to himself that Li Benshen must have surrendered, and he was the last to surrender, so there would be basically no people who knew them.

"You've crossed the line! This is the territory of Zhang Tianlu's general soldiers, hurry up! ”

This is already the middle block of the new city, neither the rich area of salt merchants on the side of the small Qinhuai of the inner city canal, nor the merchant area near the city gate and city wall, where many ordinary people live, so it was assigned to soldiers like Zhang Tianlu.

Yang Chao smiled: "Let's go!" ”

With that, he walked in front of a small group of soldiers.

Yang Chao didn't want to waste time, the killer team was behind, and his urgent task was to grab the governor's mansion, and he couldn't waste time elsewhere.

The city is indeed chaotic, which provides great convenience to Yang Chao, so convenient that Yang Chao himself is unbelievable, he has already hit the side of the Xiaoqinhuai River, and he has not even killed anyone.

Finally, on the Hongqiao on Xiao Qinhuai, I had to do it, because I met a wave of Eight Banner soldiers, who spoke words that I couldn't understand, I didn't know if it was Manchu or Mongolian, and if I didn't understand the language, I had to kill people, and I couldn't get through it.

There were less than fifty soldiers in the Eight Banners, and they were defenseless, they just scolded in their mouths, probably saying that Yang Chao had crossed the line or something, but what answered them was a spear, and one charged over, leaving behind a dead body.

After crossing the Hongqiao, not far away is the small east gate, the gate of the city is wide open at this time, and there are no soldiers guarding it.

Yang Chao rushed over in an instant and rushed towards the Tongsi Bridge.

At this time, behind Yang Chao, the skirmishing had already begun.

More than 10,000 people were divided into more than 100 brigades and marched along the main streets.

"Which part?"

It's not that you encounter such a question, and the answer is a long spear.

"It's out of bounds!"

Still spears waiting.

These rear armies, they have only one purpose, and that is to kill people.

Yang Chao's order was to keep moving on the streets at night. Whether it is a soldier or a civilian, they will all be killed.

And kill along the streets, don't fall in love, don't chase the remnants of the enemy who hide in the streets. Advance in an all-round way, from east to west, aiming for the eastern city wall.

Such a fight quickly caused chaos, but at this time, the first reaction of the Tartars was not that they were attacked by the Ming army. It's their own infighting.

The first thing that came to the mind of those leading the army was that they had been plotted by the enemy, after all, in the process of looting these days, there was no less friction, and it was common for them to cross the line.

As a result, there were also cases where some officers gathered their soldiers and began to settle accounts with their enemies.

Sneak attacks, infighting, robbery, arson, Yangzhou city chaos is not good.

Yang Chao had already arrived in front of the yamen of the governor's palace north of Tongsi Bridge.

"Don't go through the front door! Don't storm it. We went straight into the back house through the back wall. ”

Governor Yamen Yang Chao was extremely familiar.

I know that this is a five-hall courtyard. As an official office, it is not as complicated as a merchant garden, and there are not so many curved corridors.

Take the soldiers around the tall compound wall and take a position behind it.

Xie Fei, climbed up with him and quietly opened the door. Remember that the entrance is a mecca passage, and when you open the door, don't wait, just climb over another wall and occupy the corner door. ”

The acropolis is surrounded by two parallel tall courtyard walls, both of which have doors. But one in the southernmost part and the other in the northernmost part, this kind of sandwich was designed by many officials, apparently for military purposes. There are many holes in the wall, so it is possible to stick out the spear, and if the army does not know the situation, the defenders hiding behind the wall can easily kill the enemy in the middle of the road.

It's a pity that this kind of enemy does not include the enemy who sneaks up, and the defenders do not include the careless defenders.

The courtyard wall was quickly opened, and Zhao Kang was the first to rush in with people. He is responsible for cooperating with Xie Fei to protect the Corner Gate, because it is very likely that after Xie Fei occupies the Corner Gate, he will encounter a Tartar attack, if Tudor is really here, then it is absolutely certain that there are defenders and defenses in the courtyard, and they are all elite Bayara barracks.

When Yang Chao walked into the mezzanine, he had already heard the sound of battle, and sure enough, there was someone guarding the courtyard, and he found Xie Fei at the first time, but Zhao Kang was almost behind the corner gate, and as soon as the corner gate opened, he rushed in and fought with the Tartars.

When Yang Chao walked into the corner gate, there were already dozens of corpses lying on the ground, most of them were Tartars, and only the single digits were his own.

And the more than 200 people led by Xie Fei and Zhao Kang were engaged in less than 100 elite armor, who fought and retreated, and shouted loudly.

The lights in the courtyard were lit one by one, and before they were turned on, many soldiers had rushed out of the various rooms.

"All charge!"

is ready to disrupt the battle, Yang Chao has no need to stay, seeing this situation, he doesn't have to wait for the whole team of Tartars, and directly launches the charge first.

Twelve hundred corps, according to the pre-position, launched a rapid charge in all directions.

The Tartar guards were obviously asleep one by one, and in the various rooms, they could only rush out at this time, and when they encountered a group charge of 100 people, they were naturally very passive, and most of them did not have time to put on their armor, but only carried a knife or a spear, so as soon as they made contact, the captives suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at the soldiers who attacked in all directions and killed people when they saw them, Yang Chao was a little puzzled, where should he attack next?

The governor's yamen is too big, and there are no less than 100 rooms in the back hall, such as the wings, flower halls, and bedrooms, and in which room is Duoduo in?

Soon Tartar pointed out the direction to Yang Chao.

In a room on the right side of the main hall in the center, a group of Qing troops rushed out at this time, but they did not rush into the battle, but stood firmly at the door, and stood at the door shouting loudly.

As they cried, the Tartars converged on them.

Obviously this is an important place, and if Duoduo is not here, he will be in that house, unless this is not his abode. (To be continued.) )
