Yesterday's torrential rain left nothing but a puddle of water on the ground, and the temperature immediately rose again in the early morning sun, and the coolness was long gone. After the surprise attack of the Mawei army, Jinling City was attacked by the Mawei army, and under the powerful blasting, many city gates were lost instantly, and then the Mawei army quickly built a pontoon bridge and entered the inner city in a big way. The Mawei army had no heavy weapons at all, only a gun in their hands, and five or six small boats quickly lined up on the surface of the moat, and then laid wooden planks on them, and the soldiers quickly crossed the moat. The moment the Mawei Army entered the inner city, it also meant that Jinling City had fallen.

When the Mawei army entered the city, the first reaction of most of the Qing soldiers was not to continue to resist, but to take the initiative to put down their weapons and kneel down to surrender. Obviously, other people's equipment is stronger than yours, the number of people is far more than yours, and the morale of your own side is completely unmanned, and the morale of the family is bursting, how to fight this battle? In any case, it is a loss, rather than giving away a small life, it is better to take the initiative to surrender. Originally, most of the Qing army did not belong to the elite wave, and it was good to be able to resist for so long. However, there were still many Qing soldiers who retreated towards the city, as if they could escape the catastrophe if they went inside.

After entering the city, the soldiers of the Mawei Army pursued and annihilated the remnants of the enemy, while loudly propagating slogans.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

The Tongji Gate in the south was the first to be broken, but it didn't take long for the Shence Gate and Jinchuan Gate in the north to be broken, and when the violent explosions at the other city gates sounded, the defenders in Jinling City began to panic. They had heard the explosion many times during the day, and they were already familiar with it. And at this time there is this sound produced. It also means that the Mawei Army has begun to attack the city. At this time, the young Zhuang who were still demolishing the houses near the city gates were even more chaotic, and the moment the city gate was blown open, all the young men shouted and fled in all directions. Where to flee? My own home, of course!

Ning Wu, the commander of the first fleet, was responsible for attacking the Shence Gate, and as soon as the city gate was broken, he led his subordinates to rush and fight, and soon came to the interior of Jinling City. Entering the inner city, Ning Wu also found out. This Jinling City is really a prosperous capital, not to mention anything else, in this extremely dim light, looking at the houses on both sides, you can feel that the average height is much taller than the buildings in Fuzhou City. Two-, three- and even four-story buildings can be found everywhere. In the era of dozens of floors in later generations, this book was generally one or two buildings, and it was extremely rare to see three or four floors above. However, it is commonplace in this Jinling City, and it is really one of the largest cities in the world!

After the Mawei Army entered the city, those recruited young men or something. Long gone. There were scattered corpses of some Qing soldiers on the ground, and there were discarded debris everywhere. At this time. Ordinary people are either sleeping in their homes, and they should have been woken up at this moment. The Qing army must have been guarding and patrolling the city, at most some of them were in the barracks and hiding caves, but these people who appeared on the street were obviously not Qing soldiers, so there was only one possibility, they were people who tried to take advantage of the fire to rob. This kind of person is what the Mawei Army hates the most, and as long as it is discovered, it will be killed by the Mawei Army soldiers as soon as possible.

There were Qing soldiers who surrendered voluntarily to guide the Mawei army, and the Mawei army also began to divide into multiple teams and began to kill to various key positions in the city, and by the way, occupied various official government treasury. When Ning Wu turned to the imperial city, the soldiers of the other troops also arrived. Their movements are also quite fast, after they enter the city, they are also quickly developing in the direction of the imperial city, even if there are scattered enemies on the streets, they only divide a part of the team to destroy. There is only one goal for the large army, and that is the Jinling Imperial City.

As mentioned earlier, the capital of Jinling is a pattern composed of four city walls: the palace city, the imperial city, the capital and the outer Guo, yesterday during the day, the outer Guo city has been taken, and at this moment the capital is the inner city has also been breached, so A Xixu and other Qing court officials must have led the remaining remnants of the army to retreat to the imperial city. The reason why it is not Miyagi is mainly because there are a large number of food and weapons in the imperial city, and Miyagi is a palace belonging to the emperor, which has nothing but luxury and good looks, even if it is held for a while, then they will not be able to last for two days surrounded by the Mawei army.

Among all the attacking troops, the soldiers of the Sixth Squadron were the most active, rushing forward one by one, mainly because they had always had few opportunities to fight and not much to gain in battle, and now that they had this opportunity, they all wanted to seize it with great effort. Not only do they urgently need to make a name for themselves, otherwise the teacher will be pressed by other fleets, and it will be very uncomfortable. As a result, their attacks are often reckless and lacking in calm. However, in the face of the Qing army, which has no morale at the moment and is like tofu scum, as long as it is brave, it is enough.

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves.

Ning Wu, who was in front of the Hongwu Gate of the Imperial City, looked back and found that it was Geng Jingzhong who came over with a team of people. These horses belonged to the Qing army, and as soon as they entered the inner city, the war horses that originally belonged to the Qing army changed their surnames to Geng. However, there are not many war horses, only enough for Geng Jingzhong and a few officers plus the soldiers of the escort battalion around him.

"The Grand Duke!"

Ning Wu immediately saluted when Geng Jingzhong stopped his horse.

"Hehe, you're moving fast enough!"

"Hehe, it's not fast!" Ning Wu replied, and then said with a straight face: "By the way, the Metropolitan Governor, the remnants of the Qing army are all in this imperial city, and the last general has come all the way, and the official offices and offices are basically vacant." Just now, the Qing army in the imperial city had just blocked this Hongwu Gate, and we rushed too fast without bringing explosives at all, so there was no way to attack the city immediately. ”

"Oh, since this city gate is blocked, then the other five city gates should be about the same, but it doesn't matter, the entire inner city of Jinling City is in our hands, can they still fly out with wings. Let's surround it like this for now, and when all the inner and outer cities of Jinling City are calmed down, we are here to find trouble in this imperial city! Geng Jingzhong looked at the Hongwu Gate and said nonchalantly. At this moment, Jinling City is already under control, and there is a large army of Mawei Army inside and outside, and the remnants of the Qing army in this imperial city are less than 4,000 people, plus these guys themselves blocked the city gate, so I really don't worry that they can stand out.

"That Liangjiang Governor A Xixu still doesn't know how many catties and taels he has, in fact, when we break through the inner city gate, or when we start attacking Outer Guocheng, the Qing army concentrates its forces to break through, then we really can't help it. But at this moment, catching turtles in the urn, haha, there is no place to run if you want to! (To be continued......)
