The Qing army began to bombard the city of Jiangyin.

As soon as the cannon came, the city immediately collapsed. The stonemasons were constantly repairing the walls under artillery fire. "Boom" non-stop artillery bombardment.

The scattered stonemasons inevitably did not get hit, no, one fell, could not get up again, he still had a tool in one hand, and a stone in the other.

The sound of "boom" cannons is endless! A cannon exploded above the stonemason, knocking down a lot of rubble, but he remained unmoved, as if what was happening at close range had nothing to do with him. He was still concentrating on repairing the walls, only to hear him mutter, "Fix it as soon as possible!" Make it up! Be sure to make it up! ”

"Boom" came again, and he was hit by the rubble and couldn't help but fall. There was a lot of blood on his head, but he was still struggling, and he crawled to the tool that had fallen to the ground.

He picked it up again, and all he said was, "Patch!" Make it up! Hit the tartars! He was repeating it over and over again, and his hands were alive.

After a long time, he didn't move, just sat like this, his head lowered, the blood went down, he couldn't move anymore, and when he looked again, not only his head had been hit hard, but even his back was a blur of flesh and blood.

Even if he died, it seemed that he could still hear the words he had just repeated: "Mend! Make it up! Hit the tartars! ”

One of the guards stood at the head of the city, and he cried out: "Come! Let your shells fly! We don't do shrunken turtles either! Counterattack! So saying, he shot the arrow.

At this moment, a cannonball struck, and his head flew away with the fireball, and his body froze; A man was pierced in the chest and back, but still standing upright. Where the city is torn. The defenders of the city wrapped themselves in iron leaf. Then cover it with an iron block. The empty coffin was then filled with solid earth to fill in the damaged area, and then the wall was covered with cotton wool soaked in water to prevent the attack.

The Qing army no longer dared to send troops to attack the city, and they had no other way but to shoot artillery. Everyone is afraid of death.

In the evening, Yan Yingyuan selected thousands of warriors to go out of the south gate to rob the camp, or to hold a plate axe. or with a short knife, or with a flat pole, broke into the enemy camp and wounded more than 1,000 people. and he came to the rescue, and Ying Yuanbing had returned to the city.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, August 15 is approaching, and the city is singing "Yixing people, a gun." Wuxi people, a group of incense. Jingjiang people hurriedly knelt on the beach. A native of Changzhou. He offered his daughter and his mother. Jiangyin people, fighting for more than 80 days. Rather die than surrender. ”

The Qing army was even more frightened during this time. The Manchus were very superstitious, they believed in ghosts and gods, and they danced shamans at every turn to obtain spiritual comfort.

No, the military spirit is floating! For when they heard the people of the city crying, they thought it was a ghost's cry. In the open space on all sides of the city, I saw tens of thousands of white geese flying and stopping there, and when I got closer, there was no trace of them. Those who know the Tao say that it is the rise and fall of the soul. The white goose is the soul of the people in the calamity.

And the people at the head of the city shouted excitedly: "Did you see it? Even the villagers who went before us, their souls are still alive, and they are still helping us defend the city! The Tartars are afraid! Ha Lu Ha! ”

"That's right! Dongyu is afraid! It's ridiculous to look at them! Ha Lu Ha! Bursts of laughter erupted from the city.

Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun also laughed, but their mood was not cheerful, because they knew that Jiangyin City was becoming more and more difficult to defend, and it was almost the end of the strong crossbow.

Under the ridicule of the people in the city, the Qing soldiers all shrugged their heads, and they did not dare to look up at the people in the city.

In response to this situation, Bolo and Nikan could only invite the shaman and let the shaman dance the great god, so that the god could descend on the shaman's body to instruct how to attack Jiangyin City.

When Manchu people are sick, sometimes they don't go to the doctor or Langzhong first, but invite the shaman to heal the disease. Not to mention, the shaman also instructed Bolo and Nikan on how to break through Jiangyin City.

The Qing army first bombarded the northeast corner, followed by air artillery, to disperse smoke, and an army quickly passed through the moat, for which Jiangyin City was broken by the Qing army.

The Qing army was frightened, even if they occupied the city gate, they did not dare to enter the city, and at night, when they saw the city boiling, they knew that the city was also panicked, and they had no ability to drive them away, so the Qing soldiers had the courage to rush into the city.

Yan Yingyuan sat upright at the head of the city, he knew that the Qing soldiers were under the city, and there were many gaps in the city, and it was difficult to block the Qing soldiers. Besides, the strength of the city has been exhausted, and most of them have already died in battle.

Someone came to report: "Dian Shi, the Qing army has attacked the city!" What to do? Then people's eyes all looked at Yan Yingyuan, waiting for Yan Yingyuan's order.

Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but smile, looked at the many people, and asked, "Now that we are at the end of the crossbow, what do you think?" ”

When more than 1,000 people heard Yan Yingyuan say this, they knew that there was no hope, only death, but they were not afraid of death, but instead shouted in unison as if they were dead: "Fight!" Never surrender! ”

This sound caused debris to fall from the walls, which had been weakened by the cannons. When the Qing army under the city heard this, they were startled, and one or two couldn't help but tremble, they thought of attacking Jiangyin these days, and the scene of losing troops and losing generals was palpitating!

"Good! That's great! Yan Yingyuan was very satisfied with the answer of more than a thousand warriors. Yan Yingyuan wrote a question on the city tower: "Eighty days with allegiance, the characters of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu; 100,000 people died with one heart and left 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Good!" People were very excited, and Yan Yingyuan shouted: "Everyone come with me!" Kill one is enough, kill a pair and earn one! ”

"Killing one is enough, killing a pair earns one!" The roar of more than a thousand people! Yan Yingyuan waved his sword, and he led them down to the city to fight the Qing army.

The Qing army poured over like a cloud, and Yan Yingyuan and his more than 1,000 people were not afraid of the Qing army at all, and swore to serve the country to the death.

The Jiangyin people either fell from the city with the Qing soldiers, or dragged the Qing soldiers into the burning fire house to die together. The Qing soldiers were brave and brave, and they were all capable men who had been in battle for a long time and had been honed for a long time, so these people often sacrificed three, or even five or six more people in exchange for the lives of a Qing soldier.

Even so, they came up one after the other, yes! If you can kill one more Qing soldier, it's counted as one! "Kill one more!" This has become the wish in the hearts of Jiangyin men, and they are also fighting to the death for this wish.

It's not just these men who are heroes, but even women can be praised! Some of them went to the city because of their husbands and children, and the women went with them to the city.

"Kill!" The Qing soldiers screamed, and with a single sword, they cut off the sticks and cut a citizen to the ground. With a "porphyry", a woman flew over and hugged the feet of the Qing soldiers, revealing from her resolute gaze fearlessness: "Kill!" ”

"Porphyry!" With a bang, a knife stabbed into the woman's body, and the Qing soldiers shouted: "I see that you still don't let go!" But the woman did not let go, and even her mouth was overflowing with blood, and her eyes were still sharp.

"Up!" Another woman pounced on her, clutching her feet as well. "I'll kill again!" Another knife down. There was a woman running over at the same time, and she was going to do the same with these companions, pestering the Qing soldiers so that the men could kill them.

"Who would dare to come up! I'll kill! Kneel! The Qing soldier shouted, pointing with a frost knife, because the Qing soldier had come since entering Jiangnan, as long as he put his face horizontally and pointed at the knife, he shouted "kneel".

Those men who keep saying that they are for the country, who say that they are not afraid of death, and who will be heroes, hundreds of them, they all knelt down in front of a full soldier, and the man has gold under his knees! Why did you fall to your knees so weakly!

More than 100 people! Can't you beat a full soldier? What is even more humiliating is that he allowed his wife, children, and mother to be humiliated by the soldiers, but he was kneeling and sobbing, grieving. In the past, the words of protecting his wife, children and mother still resounded in his ears, but today when he sees a sharp knife with blood, he has no blood, and no man's dignity is gone.

Shameful! This is really a shame for the Han people!

Compared with the lower-class women who threw themselves into the well one by one and died, the upper-class women and noblewomen heard that as long as they served a good uncle, they could not die, and the mother-in-law, sisters, mothers and daughters pounced on them with a flattering smile, and pounced on them one by one.

Sad! Whew!

Today, in Jiangyin, this is not the case! Whether it is a man or a woman, they are all interpreting the dignity of the Han people and the indomitable spirit of the Han people! are all interpreting "China cannot be bullied"!!

Even in the face of the bloody sharp knife, the full army had killed two women holding his feet, but there were still women rushing over, they were not afraid of death, they also had to fight! They want to tell the robbers, the executioners, that even Chinese women can hold up half the sky! It's also a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go!

"Drink!" A small boy who had not yet grown up ran over with a big log, "I'll kill you!" The soldier shouted, but his knife could not be wielded, because the woman had already grabbed his knife.

The knife was all stained with blood, and her weak little hands were covered with blood, but she wouldn't let go of anything. "Bang", the Qing soldier was hit in the head, and he suddenly fainted.

When the boy saw that he had knocked down the Qing soldiers, he wanted to lift the big wood again and smash it again, but it was too heavy, and he felt very difficult, and he didn't understand why he could have such a lot of strength to lift the big wood just now, and how difficult it was to lift it now.

As soon as he saw the people who died beside him, he gritted his teeth, lifted the big wood again, and smashed it at the Qing soldier again, because he couldn't do it with strength, he only hit the left half of the head of the Qing soldier who fell to the ground.

"Whoosh", an arrow shot the boy a foot away, the boy smiled and said, "Dad, mother......" The last breath was swallowed. (To be continued......)
