Chapter 37 Attacking Nanjing, Jiao Liang suffered

When Li Yunzhong started, he could still listen with a smile on his face, and then he saw them competing to pat himself on the back, and he also cheekily kept showing that he was very happy.

Xu Yuexiang saw that Meng was going to say more, but she couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "You big men are not ashamed, just know that you are patting on the back, didn't you see that His Royal Highness King Han had a fever, and his face was red." ”

Hong Xuanjiao and Su Sanniang couldn't help it, and at the same time they held their waists and smiled, and Xu Yuegui pulled her sister who was going to talk about it and covered her mouth.

Seeing that Li Yunzhong was not angry, Jiao Liang pinched a handful of sweat, turned his head and glared at Xu Yuexiang fiercely, and when she saw it, she stuck out her tongue to fight back.

Li Yunzhong said: "Okay, Yuexiang is right, don't be a sycophant, Jiangning is used as the capital of the Han Kingdom, I said ugly things ahead, you must pay attention to discipline when you enter the city tomorrow, no matter which unit violates military discipline, the direct commander will be beheaded." ”

"Compliance"

With the Demolition Regiment playing the vanguard, no one thinks that Jiangning City will be spared tomorrow.

Jiao Liang took Sister Xu Yuegui back to the ship, took Xu Yuexiang out of the boat, and said, "I want to give Yuexiang to the king as a concubine, what do you think?" ”

Xu Yuexiang said: "Why did you suddenly say this, yes, it's time for Yuexiang to get married." ”

Jiao Liang's face flushed, and he said ambitiously: "If nothing else, I will be able to break through Jiangning tomorrow, the Great Han Kingdom is no longer the rogue who used to wander around, Li Yunzhong will definitely be the emperor in Jiangning, if Yuexiang marries him, in the future, it will be either the queen or the concubine, you and I will also become relatives of the emperor, if there is a son and a half daughter in the future, maybe you can inherit the Great Han." ”

Although Xu Yuegui felt that her husband was a little anxious for quick success, but she thought that one day she would become a relative of the imperial family, Guangzong Yaozu, and secretly excited: "I'm afraid that Yuexiang will ...... her" At this time, there was an "ah" sound from outside the door, Jiao Liang quickly opened the door and saw that Xu Yuexiang was standing outside with a red face.

Jiao Liang pulled Xu Yuexiang in and said kindly: "Yuexiang, you heard what I said to your sister, what do you mean." After speaking, he was afraid that Xu Yuexiang would refuse, and then said: "Your sister and I agreed." ”

Xu Yuexiang's face was ruddy, she lowered her head and played with her fingers, and said shyly: "I heard that King Han is not a woman, I'm afraid he looks down on me even more." It turned out that she had long been interested in Li Yunzhong, and she often mixed with Su Sanniang and them, and heard a lot of Li Yunzhong's deeds.

Jiao Liang saw that Xu Yuexiang did not object, and said happily: "You don't have to worry about this, I believe that King Han will definitely marry you." Seeing Xu Yuexiang's confused face, she said proudly: "Although my Heaven and Earth Association is said to be a refuge in the King of Han, it is better to say that it is an alliance, and now that there is an opportunity to win over the Heaven and Earth Society, His Royal Highness the King of Han will definitely not miss it." ”

Xu Yuexiang saw that he was talking about his marriage as politics, and pouted unhappily: "Are you marrying the Heaven and Earth Society, or marrying me." ”

Xu Yuegui put her arms around her sister's shoulders and said gently: "Your brother-in-law is also thinking about your future, I am afraid that you will marry and be bullied by other sisters." ”

Xu Yuexiang raised her face and said proudly: "How can there be!" Don't think I don't understand anything, Sister Hong and Sister Su are good to me. ”

Xu Yuegui pinched her face and pretended to laugh: "It turns out that you little girl has been prepared for a long time, I said that you didn't have anything to do with going to them, it turned out that you had planned to please them a long time ago." ”

Xu Yuexiang buried her head in her sister's shoulder, and didn't even follow it.

Early the next morning, Li Yunzhong went around the city to choose a breakthrough in attacking the city, and found that there was a Jinghai Temple 700 meters outside the Yifeng Gate in the north of the city. The terrain of this place is flat and suitable for attacking the city, so Li Yunzhong decided to choose this place as a feint.

Li Yunzhong ordered the whole army to gather 80 cannons, 20 of which were placed outside the Yifeng Gate to cover up the sound of the underground demolition group digging tunnels, and asked Wang Gang to lead 3,000 people to feint and force their way into the city when they were about to blast the city wall. Sixty cannons were lined up in front of Jubaomen and fired, and Wang Xin, Li Shixian, Li Xiucheng and others led the army to attack the city in turn, and repeatedly ordered to attract the attention of the Qing army. Each of the other gates sent small forces to harass them, and sometimes moved out of the ladder to attack the city, so that the Qing army had to deploy heavy troops to defend each of the thirteen gates.

Because I am afraid that the city will find out that Yifeng Gate is digging tunnels, so the tunnels are dug very slowly, and only 200 meters forward in one day, Li Xiucheng moved hundreds of Arhat statues in the temple outside the city at night, pretending to attack the city at night, and when the Qing army opened artillery and released arrows, the whole army retreated, leaving the Arhat statue to lead the Qing army to fire artillery and bombard all night, and there was no rest, so that the demolition regiment could dig tunnels at night.

On the morning of 19 March, the demolition regiment finally dug the tunnel under the city, and Li Yunzhong, in order to attack it unprepared, planned to blast it in the early morning, and ordered the whole army to take turns to attack the city, leaving only the most elite 30,000 people of the first, second, and third armies to rest, and even the naval army went ashore to make a feint.

In the early morning of March 20, the generals of the Third Army jointly asked Li Yunzhong for battle, saying: If you can't capture Jiangning City, you are willing to come to see you. In the past few days, I have seen that the top and bottom of the First Army have been promoted, but they are in a hurry.

Li Yunzhong picked up Jiao Liang and said: "It's best if General Jiao is willing to take the lead, you go back and prepare, it's about to explode." ”

Zhang Suimou saw them go away, and said angrily: "They are robbing the merit." ”

Li Yunzhong comforted: "Fourth brother don't be angry, they are also in a hurry to behave, you immediately arrange the second army to gather as a reserve." ”

Half an hour later, Yifengmen was blasted, and a crack about 3 zhang wide appeared, and the third army roared up and down to rush to the crack, and it didn't take long for the whole army to enter the city, Li Yunzhong breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: The overall situation has been decided.

Half an hour later, Jiao Liang sent someone to report, captured Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, and cleared the rout of the outer city.

Li Xiucheng and others, who were feinting in the south of the city, saw that the Qing soldiers on the city wall were in a panic, and they threw down their weapons and flags and disappeared, so they hurriedly led a large army to attack, and captured the city wall effortlessly, opened the city gate, and led the army to rush into the city.

An hour later, Li Yunzhong heard the sound of shouting and killing gradually clear, knowing that there was a large group of men and horses gradually approaching Yifengmen, thinking that the third army was chasing and killing the rout in the city, and ordered, the second army lined up at the city gate, secretly thinking that the Manchu army was really vulnerable, and it was driven out of the city by thousands of people in a while.

Li Yunzhong was surprised to see that it was the Third Army that was driven out of the city, and there were many women and children who were chasing them, so he ordered the Second Army to step forward to respond, Jiao Liang led the people to withdraw, and the Qing soldiers saw that the enemy outside the city was ready for battle, and they all retreated.

Jiao Liang came to Li Yunzhong in shame, knelt down and said, "The last general deserves to die, please punish His Highness." ”

Li Yunzhong saw the generals of the Third Army kneeling on the ground, and saw that they were all bloodied and wounded, and wondered: "What's the matter with you, you were driven out of the city by a group of women." ”
