It took eight days for the Zheng army to conquer Nanjing, and then counting the time for post-war rectification, ten days passed like this, and it stands to reason that the Qing army that arrived in Danyang should have already discovered the whereabouts of the main force of the Zheng army, and in fact the situation is the same, but the reason why the Qing army did not interfere with the Zheng army's attack on Jiangning, the answer is actually very simple - Yabu believes that it is impossible for the Zheng army to conquer the strong defense of Nanjing so quickly with reference to the precedent, and hopes that the main force of the Zheng army will hit the head and bleed under the city of Jiangning first; Miuzina was worried that once the troops were moved in the direction of Jinling, the Zheng army in Jingkou would not go south to cut off the retreat of the only 20,000 troops in his hands who could maneuver in the south of the Yangtze River; At this time, Suo Etu, a counselor with the nature of supervising the army, was supervising the military rations in Suzhou at this time, and the fate of Fu Rata and Jin Shirong was doomed.

However, Miuzina's fears soon became unnecessary, and on April 16, the main force of the Zheng army after the capture of Nanjing marched towards Danyang after a simple reorganization, and was forced to capture Nanjing in one fell swoop.

Changzhou city wall was built in the Taikang period of the Western Jin Dynasty, after several repairs and scraps, in the first year of Tang Jingfu (892), the first year of Yang Wu Shunyi of the fifth dynasty (921), the first year of the fifth dynasty Yang Wu Tianzuo (935) carried out the triple pattern of the inner sub city, the outer sub city, and the Luo city, known as the "Golden Dou City". However, this famous city in the south of the Yangtze River was turned into ruins when Mongolia invaded the south, Hongwu two years, Tang He rebuilt the Changzhou capital city on the basis of Luocheng in the Tang Dynasty, and then in Chenghua 18 years, Zhengde 7 years, Jiajing 34 years, Wanli 30 years, Kangxi 9 years, Kangxi 19 years have been renovated many times, can be described as an iron wall.

On April 20 of the first year of Wuding, six divisions of the Zheng army's land division and two naval corps arrived at the city of Changzhou, facing the Qing army of 20,000 defending the city, Zheng Kezhang did not hesitate too much, and even ordered the besieging departments to dig trenches outside the city

"Hai Rebellion, this is the reserve officer army out of the city to invite the attack?" Standing on the Chaojing Gate overlooking the Zheng officers and soldiers who were busy like worker ants, Yabu's face was full of dignified colors, and he turned his head and asked. "How much food is left in the city?" At the end of April and the beginning of May, when the old grain ran out and the new grain was not yet on the market, although the Qing army had repeatedly raised grain, it could only ensure that more than 20,000 people could eat it for two months. "Immediately order people to raid the grain shops in the city, and all those who hoard and live in strange places will be dealt with strictly."

Listening to Yabu's order, Muzina's Adam's apple once swayed up and down a few times, but in the end he still did not say anything against it, so the soldiers of the Eight Banners who had obtained permission happily rushed into the city and plundered the big houses openly, and soon the small-scale looting got out of control and turned into widespread adultery and massacre, and the black smoke that rushed to the sky announced a catastrophe that had befallen the ancient city.

Seeing that the Changzhou Mansion in the city turned into a Shura Dojo was anxious to come to Yabu's temporary trip to ask for a meeting, but was rejected by the great general Wang, and when he returned to the mansion, he found that his concubines had also been violated by the red-eyed Eight Banners soldiers, and the angry and anxious Changzhou Mansion immediately fainted on the ground, and finally the invisible Miao Zina stepped forward to restrain him, so as not to turn Changzhou City into a dead domain.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners who committed evil soon brought disaster upon themselves--in the warm sunshine of late spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the corpses that had not had time to be buried soon spread a deadly epidemic--because they did not have the slightest immunization knowledge and protective preparations, the Qing soldiers were soon infected one after another, and the large-scale epidemic brought by diarrhea and bacillary diarrhea immediately spread to the whole city, and even Yabu himself was not inevitable.

"How is the prince's illness?" Looking at the healer in front of him who shook his head at him, Muzina's face was extremely pale, and he understood that it seemed to be just an illusion to make this healer who had been forced to treat the perpetrator with a knife and gun sincerely, so he gritted his teeth and ordered. "Drag it down, kill it." But the next moment he regretfully denied his original order. "Slow, let's take it down to treat other patients first, if you can't save him again, kill him all over the house." Goshha dragged the silent healer back, and Muzzina paced a few steps into the room with a gloomy expression. "Come here, invite a few deputy commanders and counselors"

On the second day of the first month of May, the south gate of Changzhou City, which had been closed for more than ten days, began at the same time, hundreds of Qing army vests roared through the urn city to the trench area constructed by the Zheng army, but when they arrived at the labyrinthine trench, the Qing army found that the wide and deep trench could not be crossed by horses at all, and when it was in difficulty, a screaming sound sounded, and more than a dozen cannonballs of three and a half catties and five and a half catties fell from the sky, hitting the relatively dense formation of the Qing army and suddenly set off a bloody storm.

Seeing that things were not harmonious, the Qing army's vests immediately turned back, but the Zheng army's larger-caliber artillery began to chase and fire, and the Qing army dropped more than a dozen corpses before retreating to the city. After this change, the Zheng army quickly raised the vigilance everywhere, but the Qing army did not attack again, which made the Zheng army a little hesitant.

But the mystery was soon revealed. Early in the morning of the next day, the Tongwu Gate and the Huaide Gate in the east of Changzhou City were quietly opened, and thousands of Manmeng Eight Banners soldiers in the military camp and infantry battalion carried hastily constructed ladders, board bridges and other objects straight to the trench belt, and laid a large number of instruments on the trench before the Zheng army post gave a warning.

The artillery fire of the Zheng army division and regiment was hurriedly fired, and the shotguns and chain shells caused terrible casualties in the formation of the Qing army, but the Qing army would rather face the threat of artillery fire than return to Changzhou City to accept the test of the epidemic, so it appeared heroic and abnormal, this side had just broken the ladder, and the Qing artillery on the head of the new city that had been transported from the city also struggled to spit out projectiles, although it may not be able to bring much threat to the Zheng army's artillery position, but at least it disrupted the shooting rhythm of the Zheng army's artillery. Give the Eight Banners soldiers who are struggling to lay an escape road under the city to provide some cover

It took the Qing army about a quarter of an hour to build several passages on the first trench, and then the Qing army through the guò passage went straight to the second trench, but there was an earthen wall behind this trench, and the Zheng army's infantry men who were already in place waited for the banner soldiers to bring them, and then under the orders of the commander, they used dense guns to teach their opponents a lesson.

The bird guns of the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion fought back desperately, and the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon on the head of the city also tried to lower the barrel to shoot at the Zheng army's position, but most of the bird's guns were blocked by the earthen wall, and the shells fired by the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon also swept high above Zheng Jun's head and could not cause too much threatening damage to the opponent

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, I am guarding Changzhou City in a good manner, why did the Qing Lu attack?" First the vest and then the infantry armor, the actions of the Qing army made the Zheng army besieging the city confused. "If it is said that it is a breakthrough, why don't the other gates respond, and only send troops at two gates, and only send five or six thousand men before they die down. But if it is said that it is not a breakthrough but a weak strategy to lure the enemy, but according to the first-line reports, how can Yabu and Miuzina let these old soldiers with the blood of the Eight Banners be sent to death in vain? ”

Yang Lan, who served as the second staff officer of the staff office with the military cavalry captain, speculated: "Could it be that there is a shortage of food in the city." ”

"Impossible, the Qing army has a big granary in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang to rely on, and there will be a shortage of food?" Chen Qi, who had just opened his mouth to ask a question, flatly denied it. "Even if we run out of food, we won't necessarily finish eating our food."

"That was before, the Qing army that escaped into the city and was cut off from the outside world had no supplies, so it may not be short of food." Yang Lan insisted on her own judgment. "Otherwise, it won't be explained why the Qing prisoners acted like this."

"Could it be related to the fire in the city before?" Deng Niu, who was also born in Jiayin and is now serving as a third-class staff officer as Captain Zhaoxin, put forward a new point of view. "It shouldn't be that there is a fire in the city, Yabu and Miuzina, these two guys have lost their military authority and can't control the actions of these Manchurian soldiers."

Yang Lan shook her head and chuckled: "Brother Qifang, you shouldn't have woken up, Yabu and Miuzina, one is the prince of the sect, and the other is a first-class master, they are all giants in Jiannu, how can these Eight Banner captives disobey their control?" It's not that both of them died accidentally, but how is that possible? ”

"I think the fire in the city should be the Qing army looting in order to collect military rations." Lin Kang followed Deng Niu's train of thought and put forward a new view. "So the Qing army should not be short of food." Looking at Yang Lan, who was eager to refute, Lin Kang, who was also a martial arts captain, smiled. "Brother Mei Feng doesn't need to worry, I thought that no matter what happened inside the Qingyu, we might be able to touch it."

"Touch?" An abrupt voice sounded, and the four of them turned their heads to look, only to see that the door curtain was lifted, Zheng Kezhang walked in from outside, and the four people who didn't dare to slack off hurriedly gave a military salute, Zheng Kezhang waved his hand, and then walked in front of Lin Kang. "You just said that? Be careful, tell me how to touch it."

"My lord, the sea has suddenly started to fill in the trenches." A Takeben hurried into Muzzina's room and reported. "My lord, the sea is ready to attack the city."

"Siege?" Miuzina touched his beard and looked at the few staff leaders beside him. "How many sturdy and capable tooth swingers are there?" Soon Miuzina got a number. "The sea is preparing to attack the city, which is an opportunity for the officers and soldiers." Muzina paced a few steps through the hall. "This opportunity must be seized." With that, he commanded. "Go ahead and get ready!"

Several Protector Counselors and Guardian Military Academy immediately turned away, and at this time, a henchman on the side asked, "My lord, Prince Jane"

"Let people prepare a sedan chair, take the prince a little, and once you can stand out, bring the prince with you, just in case?" Miuzina's eyes flashed. "In case the sea wakes up and pursues us, Prince Jian may be able to save our lives." Prince Jane, who is already so sick that he only has air out and no air intake, can save his life? The people who heard it on the side couldn't help but shudder, but it was normal to take care of themselves on the battlefield, so no one would openly sing any contradictory at this time. "Okay, you guys go and prepare, and inform the battalions to make a good meal, and only when you are full will you have the strength to break through"
