Seeing that Fengshan Gate was breached, Liu Zhiyuan instantly understood the seriousness of the situation, he didn't care about the nearby Ming army, and decided to risk leaving some soldiers and horses to intercept this Ming army, and he led the main force to risk galloping to aid Fengshan Gate, intending to push it back when the Ming army only entered the city in small amounts.

So, Liu Zhiyuan left some of the men and horses to continue to block the street corner, and he ran towards Fengshan Gate with most of them, saying that it was a large army, but in fact, he was only able to take away more than 1,000 people.

Fengshan Gate, after the city gate was breached, and the Ming army flag was planted on the city, Su Ci ordered the whole army to enter the city, and then the troops were divided into two roads, all the way to continue to advance into the city, all the way to support Hou Chaomen, and cooperate with the Lu Wang army to capture the city gate to welcome friendly troops into the city.

But when the army has not completely entered the city, the vanguard in the city and the Qing army led by Liu Zhiyuan encountered, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

The two sides shot at each other for a while, but the Qing army couldn't stand it first, left dozens of corpses in front of the formation and retreated, and the foot soldiers holding swords, shields and spears went up, shouting and launching a charge, and the Ming army bird-gunners fired another round of salvos to kill several people and then quickly withdrew, leaving the battlefield to the melee infantry on both sides.

On the other side, Chen Xinyou and others, who were blocked by Liu Zhiyuan on the street, also discovered the division of troops by the Qing army, and the two decided to take the initiative to cut off the rear road of the Qing army, and the Ming army immediately rushed out of the street corner and launched an attack on the Qing army lined up on the avenue.

At the same time, Gao Fan also led the Shenji battalion to run in the direction of Fengshan Gate, intending to attack from the back of the Qing army, and the friendly troops in front of the Qing army.

The news of the breakthrough of Fengshan Gate was quickly spread to Hou Chaomen, which was not far from Fengshan Gate, but regrettably, along with the news of the fall of Fengshan Gate, there were also Ming troops in red robes - these Ming troops suddenly appeared on the flank of Hou Chaomen's defenders, and when the latter reacted, it was too late, and the Ming army only killed dozens of people, and the Qing army here directly threw away their armor, turned around and fled into the city, leaving control of the city gate to the Ming army that appeared in the city.

Subsequently, this group of Ming troops opened the Hou Chao Gate from the inside, welcoming the Lu Wangjun outside the city into the city, even as a civilian official, Zhang Huangyan still took the lead, and Zhang Mingzhen took the lead in rushing into the city, and the two armies joined forces and killed in the city.

Here in Fengshan Gate, even if there is Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan personally in charge, the Qing army is still defeated and retreated in the case of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, looking at the soldiers who continue to fall on his side, Liu Zhiyuan's intestines are about to regret it, he never imagined that the defenders of Fengshan Gate were defeated so quickly, and they could not support the arrival of reinforcements to drive the Ming army out.

Liu Zhiyuan looked at the advancing Ming army in front of him and behind him, his heart was filled with remorse and despair, in despair, he took advantage of the fact that his soldiers were not paying attention to raise his knife to kill himself, the sharp blade directly cut the fragile throat, blood gushed out, and when the soldiers reacted, his body had shaken and fell from the horse.

Liu Zhiyuan's self-slaughter directly led to the complete collapse of the morale of the Qing army, which could have been able to resist stubbornly, and the Qing army, which had lost its backbone, faced the murderous Ming army in front of and behind them, and finally could only lay down their arms in despair, surrender on their knees, and become a prisoner of the Ming army.

Since then, the Ming army in the south of the city has fully entered the city, and Su Ci ordered people to bring the surrendered Qing troops to the camp outside the city to guard, and then joined up with the Shenji battalion and Chen Xinyou, and Zhang Mingzhen's troops continued to advance towards the city in two ways, but Su Ci's goal was different from Zhang Mingzhen, he wanted to meet Su Yan, at least to confirm Su Yan's safety.

At the same time, Su Yan was still confronting Li Shuotai's Eight Banners Army outside the Governor's Headquarters, which had to change tactics after several attacks were frustrated, intending to attack from another street entrance, but the Eight Banners Army attacking from this side was again met with a volley of line infantry, leaving dozens of corpses and retreating in disarray.

Several attacks were frustrated, Li Shutai could only stop the attack, continue to confront the Ming army, at the same time as the attack he has sent a number of envoys to the east of the city to several city gates that did not break out of the battle to transfer troops to the city, and ordered the envoys to go to the south of the city and the north of the city two battlefields in the hope of getting the latest military information, Qiantang Gate and Wulin Gate two Ming army offensive is not violent, the Qing army can still deal with it with ease.

But Chen Tai didn't think that things were so simple, although he didn't know the battle situation of Qingbo Gate and Fengshan Gate, but he keenly speculated that the Ming army outside Qiantang Gate and Wulin Gate was likely to be just a feint, and the real main battlefield of the Ming army was in Fengshan Gate or the east gate of the city, but there was no movement at the east gate of the city, so he thought that the main force of the Ming army was outside the Fengshan Gate.

However, Chen Tai still guessed wrong, after he saw Li Shutai's envoy and learned from the latter that the Ming army entered the city from the Qingbo Gate, he knew that the city of Hangzhou could not be defended, the city of Hangzhou was so big, even if the Qing army had more than 16,000 people, it was a fool's dream to divide the troops to the various city gates.

When the Qing army in the city gathered to suppress the Ming army entering the city, the Ming army was faster and had already taken the nearby city gate, and even let the main force enter the city.

Although Chen Tai understood this, he couldn't say it directly, and to say it now would be to disturb the morale of the army, so he could only take countermeasures in advance and let his own soldiers prepare horses and dry food - he was ready to stage another embarrassing escape.

As Chen Tai expected, after the Fengshan Gate and Hou Chao Gate were taken, the Ming army entered the city in a big way, and the Qing army left the city gate to resist the Ming army on the order of Li Shutai.

When fighting with the Lu Wang army led by Zhang Mingzhen and the others, the Qing army could still fight back and forth with them, and even faintly gained the upper hand, but after fighting with the soldiers and horses under Su Yan, the Qing army not only could not take any advantage, but was also defeated and retreated, and the difference between the two armies can be seen from this.

After defeating a Qing army that came out of nowhere, the Su Ci department was finally discovered by Li Shuitai, who was afraid that the combat effectiveness of this new Ming army was as high as the Ming army facing him, and he did not dare to stay in love, so he hurriedly led his subordinates to retreat to Mancheng, intending to rely on the walls of Mancheng to defend it.
