The Celestial Army's attack on the west and south sides of Jiangyin did not start very smoothly.

According to Zeng Shuiyuan's original plan, it was to use the troops who arrived at the West Gate first, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qing demon to carry out a sneak attack on Jiangyin, and once it succeeded, it would save a lot of trouble. If it fails, it will turn the attack of the west gate into a feint and cover the south gate to make large-scale siege preparations for Jiangyin. In general, Zeng Shuiyuan still thinks that this kind of sneak attack is very certain, after all, it is night, so it is convenient for his subordinates to approach and blow up the city gate.

However, a very accidental event made the sneak attack of the Ximen Heavenly Army passive.

The general manager of a green battalion soldier stationed at Ximen took a fancy to a girl who went to the city with her family to sell vegetables in the afternoon. He left his heart, and he knew that most of the people who came to the city to do business were within four or five miles. So, when he stared at the girl out of the city, he specially asked his soldiers to follow the girl's house. As soon as he got off work in the evening, he took a few of his brothers with him, first drunk and half-drunk, and then went out of the city in a leisurely manner. A few soldiers giggled and teased as they walked. They know what will happen next, this kind of thing is not once or twice for them, to be honest, they are very envious of the peach blossom luck of the general adult.

Not too far out of the city, a soldier Yong first felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and quickly jumped off the official road, crackling to create Yoneda Gong. Immediately after that, one soldier after another joined the ranks. The general was a little annoyed, "You *** are really lazy cows who have a lot of and urine in battle, hurry up and give Lao Tzu a hurry, or Lao Tzu" Before he finished speaking, he only felt a tight pain in his stomach as if he had been stirred by a knife, and hurriedly rushed to the side of the road, almost as the belt of his trousers was just untied, the strange sound of the noise sounded.

"Alas, it's really *** funny," one soldier muttered.

"No, it can't be that the shopkeeper of that restaurant deliberately harmed us," the other soldier clenched his hands tightly and screamed loudly, "I looked at him a long time ago and didn't look like a good bird, didn't he just eat a few meals for nothing." ”

"I said Mr. Zong, go back and clean up that guy." Another soldier bravely arched the fire unrelentingly. Although his stomach is still hurting, there is something beautiful in his heart, as long as he nods his head to the general adult, hehe, the silver is indispensable and there is a share.

The position of the general manager is the general and the squatting position is one level higher than others, with a burst of pain, the stomach is much more comfortable, and the face actually has a lot of relaxation and comfort, he snorted beautifully, raised his head, "The shopkeeper should be unlucky, go back to Lao Tzu" His words were suddenly stuck in his throat. He saw a crowd of black people moving in the distance, and a few shadowy black shadows, like agile frogs, leaping closer and closer.

Not good! He stood up in shock, "Long Hair is here!" "He forgot to mention his pants, and he wanted to run back, but as soon as his feet stepped away, he was pulled by the pants on the surface of his feet, and because he was too anxious, a dog ate and fell to the ground.

The night was dark, and the Demomen, who were quickly approaching the city gate, did not see it, nor did they expect that there would be a hidden demon here. Several Demomen froze.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the other party's stunned, the general got up again, led a few of his subordinates, and ran towards the city gate with his pants in his hands, shouting hoarsely as he ran, "Long hair is coming"

Suddenly, the drums and horns of Jiangyin City sounded in unison, and the alarm suddenly went up.

The Celestial Army, which had been organized in a hurry, saw that the sneak attack could not succeed, so it had to take a strong attack, and more than a dozen cannons began to roar at the city, suppressing the Qing army, and covering the Demomen to bomb the city. The strikers also moved forward quickly.

The Demomen, who rushed halfway through, had already understood that the Qing Demon was not an intentional ambush, and there were only five or six of them, so they drew their big knives on their backs and chased after the fleeing Qing Demon to slash and slash, and at the same time approached the city gate.

The one who always ran with his pants on was also fast, he didn't look back, just ran and shouted vigorously, and the wind was whirring in his ears, and even he couldn't believe that he still had this excellent kung fu for running.

"Get out of the city, let me in!" His last cry was this. It's a pity that the door of the black hole didn't open with his shout, and what answered him was the rain of arrows on the city, and the sharp sword wind of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army behind him.

The Qing troops who left the city lost their lives, and the Demomen of the Celestial Army fell to the ground one after another. A demoman, who was wounded by several arrows, finally delivered the explosives in his arms to the city gate, and with a loud "boom", the city gate was blown open with a large hole.

The vanguard of the Celestial Army shouted and rushed to the city gate, and the two armies met in close quarters and began to fight for the city gate. In desperation, the Qing army in the city fought back desperately, and blocked the corpses of the dead and wounded soldiers and all kinds of sundries into the hole in the city gate, and the offensive of the Celestial Army was frustrated.

Due to the limited strength of the Jiangyin Green Battalion, the south gate has always been assisted and guarded by a local regimental training. This group training is a guard dog jointly raised by several large households in the city, which not only contains the former martial artists and family members of the major households, but also the ruffians and scoundrels in the city, and its leader is called Miao Meide. Miao Meide's home is a wealthy family in Jiangyin, but she never likes to read, and loves to play with guns. Like those local tyrants and bullies, this Miao Meide is also a person who has a deep hatred for the Taiping Army.

The west gate was tight, and the green battalion soldiers at the south gate immediately rushed over to reinforce it. When he received the order again for his five hundred Lian Yong to divide his troops to support Ximen, Miao Meide did not move. Because he found that outside the south gate, a large number of people and horses had already begun to move.

Zeng Shuiyuan only left more than 3,000 men and horses at the west gate, and the main force was all concentrated outside the south gate. From his heart, he really hopes that his subordinates can take Jiangyin smoothly, and as a general, no one will willingly share the fruits of victory with others.

Hundreds of cannons roared in unison, and the cannonballs that fell to the ground and blossomed overturned the iron and bronze cannons of the Qing army at the head of the city, and the Lian Yong on the city was untenable. The city gate was soon blown open by the demomen, and Zeng Shuiyuan was proud for a while, and this new explosive was just good, saving a lot of trouble in digging the crypt and filling it with explosives.

However, when the tide of heavenly soldiers flocked to the city gate, the vicious Miao Meide came up with a poisonous plan. He ordered his subordinate Lian Yong to block several barrels of gunpowder into the door hole, and as the gunpowder ignited, the soldiers of the Celestial Army who rushed into the city gate suffered heavy casualties.

Zeng Shuiyuan looked at the defeated soldiers, his blood veins swelled, and his eyes were red. A small Jiangyin, is it so hard to bite? He was like an angry lion, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King An's repeated reiteration of the position of commanders at all levels on the battlefield before the war, he would have driven his horse and rushed forward.

Zeng Shuiyuan frantically shook his hand holding the binoculars, and just wanted to order the artillerymen to continue firing, when suddenly, his eyes lit up, and an idea came to his mind. He called the generals of the second echelon, gave a few detailed instructions, and then personally went to the artillery position.

The cannons of the Celestial Army began to roar again. With strong artillery fire, groups of heavenly troops, with ladders, began to pour towards the city wall.

As soon as the artillery fire of the heavenly army stopped, Miao Meide immediately organized Lian Yong to come out of hiding and kick onto the city. The Lian Yong stretched out their bows and arrows, lifted the rolling wood and ash bottles prepared in advance, and pushed up the gunpowder cartridges, and waited for the heavenly army in front of them to enter the city.

The Qing army that came out of the city was unexpected, and what they were waiting for was not the soldiers of the Heavenly Army attacking the city, but more fierce artillery fire than before. The head of the city was suddenly flooded and shrouded in firelight and smoke, the prepared powder cartridge was blown up, the city tower was also scattered by the bombed wooden tiles, and Lian Yong was blown to pieces, and flesh and blood were flying. The lucky ones who survived crawled down the ground and ran down the city, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs.

Miao Meide was hit in the left shoulder by shrapnel flying around. He hid in a corner under the road, gritted his teeth and pulled out the shrapnel that was still half exposed. He looked at a few of his frightened cronies around him, "Brothers, there's nothing big about long hair. Didn't we kill a lot of them at the city gate just now? Now they are bullying us with artillery fire, so we are not in a hurry, and we will go out when their people start to climb the city. We must not let the long hairs gain power, for when they enter the city, they will not have our good fruit to eat. ”

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this city can't be defended." A cronie said with irrepressible fear, "Listen here, there is also the artillery fire from the west, it is too fierce. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Miao Meide's eyes widened, "Hold on for a while, and the green battalion soldiers from the riverside fort will come to support." My ugly words have already been put in front, beating away the long hair, and rewarding meritorious deeds. Whoever wants to retreat from the battle, Lao Tzu will not kill Changmao, go back and kill his whole family first. Don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless! ”

The artillery fire of the heavenly army began to extend, and outside the city, the shouts of killing were again connected.

Miao Meide estimated that it was almost there, and jumped out of the hideout. He just wanted to take the few remaining Lian Yong to the city again, but suddenly heard bursts of crisp gunfire in the city behind him. Then came the chaotic shouts of "The Heavenly Army has entered the city". This voice gradually spread from the east gate, and more was the deliberate echo of the people in the city, and it spread throughout the city in an instant.

Miao Meide couldn't control the collapse of Lian Yong around him anymore, he knew that the general trend was gone, stared at the blood-red eyes of the two hungry wolves, and rushed to the gunpowder pile that was stacked at the city gate. He picked up an abandoned torch and sneered at the corner of his mouth. He fantasized that a large number of celestial armies would come over, and that the torches would be thrown away

However, there was no need for him to throw any torches. The overwhelming artillery fire of the Heavenly Army ignited several neatly discharged gunpowder cartridges, and Miao Meide took his dream and turned it into powder.

The price he paid was also heavy because of his ferocity. On this day, close to the early hours of the morning, the Miao family's mansion suddenly caught fire, and the fire was very strange, no one knew how it burned, anyway, it was burned from the outside and inside together. Although the Heavenly Army organized a force to extinguish the fire, the fire was difficult to stop. Seeing that, the first mansion in Jiangyin was buried in the sea of fire, turning into ruins and rubble, and there was no survivor.

This is a rare fire in Jiangyin, so much so that much later, every time the people of Jiangyin mention this matter, they can't help but say, "Retribution, that Miao Meide killed hundreds of heroes of the heavenly army, and God will not tolerate the Miao family!" Hehe, that fire is called big, it is a heavenly fire, and God specially punishes people who have lost their conscience. Hehe, you say it's strange, such a big fire didn't implicate anyone nearby. ”

In particular, when the local government of the Celestial Dynasty later registered the population of Jiangyin City and placed the house number, the officials in charge of the Celestial Empire discovered a very interesting thing, Jiangyin did not have a surname Miao. Of course, many people may have had their surnames before, but they have changed their surnames since the Heavenly Army broke the city. Officials have also persuaded those people that if a Miao family is a scum, it does not mean that everyone surnamed Miao is a wicked person. But people don't believe that, for many years, Jiangyin City has been like this. Some people may think that ordinary people may be ignorant and ignorant, but it is these "ignorant" people, once they understand a truth, they will use their understanding of ugliness and goodness to choose what they like. This is a city of heroes, and people do not want to be in the company of traitors.
