On the first day of the fifth month, more than 6,000 Russian garrisons transferred from Fujian finally arrived outside Nanjing and joined Su Yan's army.

After arriving outside the Purple Mountain on April 27, Su Yan built two siege camps in Yaofangmen and south of the Ming Tomb, and Su Ci also led his soldiers and horses around the Purple Mountain and built a camp on the north bank of Xuanwu Lake.

At the same time, Su Yan sent another envoy, hoping that Zhang Mingzhen, who was stationed in Jiaxing, would lead his army to Nanjing to join in order to strengthen his momentum.

On the 29th, Wang Yi led his army to break through the Jiagang Gate, build a camp outside the Jubao Gate, and sent rangers to wander outside the various gates in the south of Nanjing to monitor the movements of the Qing army at each gate.

During this period, the Qing army also collected and raised equipment to defend the city in the city, except for the Qing army on the Purple Mountain sent a few troops and horses south to harass the Ming army, so that they could not successfully consolidate the camp and were repelled by the Ming army, it can be said that there was no war inside and outside the entire city of Nanjing.

However, after the arrival of the Russian garrison, the fighting resumed.

On the second day of the first month of May, hundreds of artillery pieces in General Su Yan lined up under the Purple Mountain, aimed at the Qing army camp on the mountain, and then launched a wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the Qing army camp, and at the same time, the 6,120 Russian garrisons also changed into inventory armor, they were all armed with two-handed battle axes, standing on the front line with Indian warriors, ready to attack the mountain at any time.

The indiscriminate bombardment of the Ming artillery did bring considerable losses to the Qing army camp on the mountain, the wooden wall surrounding the camp collapsed in many places, and the white camp tent inside was also blown down, and the Qing soldiers who stayed behind also screamed and ran in the camp in a panic, dodging the shells flying from the mountain.

Although the Qing artillery also launched a counterattack, their artillery was far less than that of the Ming army, so they did not have any advantage in the artillery battle.

Fortunately, the Qing army camp was built on the top of the mountain, and the casualties that the Ming artillery could cause were actually not too many, after the artillery bombardment that lasted for a quarter of an hour, the Ming army's attack horn sounded at the foot of the mountain, led by the Russian garrison and Indian warriors, followed by the line infantry and a dry musket infantry, and the Ming army slowly advanced to the top of the mountain from two directions.

Seeing the Ming army attacking, the Qing soldiers who were arrayed in various places in the Purple Mountain prepared for battle, and they set up the tiger squat cannon they carried on a high place, and shelled the Ming army on the mountain.

In order to show their loyalty, Zhang Tianlu, the former governor of Jiangnan, Yang Shouzhuang, the deputy general, and Gao Qian, the general of Yan Shiyi, who surrendered to Su Yan, all took the lead and rushed up the mountains and forests with the Russian garrison and Indian warriors.

"Kill!"

Rumble –

Hearing the sound of tiger squatting cannons, the figure of Zhang Tianlu, who was rushing to the front, subconsciously paused for a moment, and then he saw a cannonball break several trees and smash into the crowd next to him, smashing the intestines of a Russian garrison out.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianlu's pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't dare to rush to the front anymore, he only dared to bluff, pretending to encourage the soldiers to rush up, in fact, he was still standing in place, and after more people rushed past him, he ran along.

Not only Zhang Tianlu is like this, but also several other former Qing army generals.

Soon, the Ming army rushed into the range of the Qing archers, and the Qing soldiers who stood behind the bird guns took the lead in shooting with bows, although the arrows they shot could not wear the transparent army armor, but they could also play a harassing role, and the Ming army really had to raise their shields to block in front of the no armor protection, only the Russian garrison armed with two-handed axes chose to carry hard, they lowered their heads and rushed with their heads.

Seeing that the archers could not inflict many casualties on the Ming army, the bird guns always shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers under their command to raise their guns and aim, and those bird guns raised their guns according to the order, and gently blew the fire rope with the light of the stars, so that it would not automatically extinguish before shooting.

After the Ming army rushed into the firing range, the first two rows of Qing soldiers pulled the trigger one after another, and the fire rope ignited the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and the projectile was immediately shot.

And the Qing soldiers are not looking at the results

, the soldiers in the front row hurriedly got up, retreated to the back with the robes in the back row, and gave up the firing position to the soldiers in the third or fourth row.

After several rounds of volleys, the Qing generals who were guarding the town drew their swords and roared, and the sword, shield and spearmen standing behind the bird gunmen immediately rushed out of the queue with shouts and charged towards the Ming army.

At the same time, the archers of the Qing army also replaced the soft light arrows, and replaced them with heavy arrows that could break the armor at close range, and the heavy arrows shot flew into the ranks of the Ming army over the robe in front of them, and immediately shot over several soldiers.

Even if they were shot by the Qing archers, the Ming army still did not stop, they roared angrily to meet the Qing soldiers rushing from the mountain to launch a counter-charge, the two sides collided head-on, the Russian garrison brandished a two-handed battle axe and slashed down, directly split the spear of the Qing soldier horizontally blocked, and then went down, and actually split the opponent in half from it.

The Indian warrior also brandished the sharp scimitar, used the small round shield to block the Qing soldier's attack, and the scimitar in his right hand slashed diagonally, smashing the Qing soldier's cotton armor and getting stuck in the shoulder blade.

The Qing soldier screamed and wanted to retreat, the Indian warrior stepped forward and struck a shield on the bridge of the opponent's nose, and for a while the face of the Qing soldier seemed to open a water and land dojo, red and black flowed out together, so he had to cover his face and wail and kneel, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

Although the Russian garrison and Indian warriors are only junior units that can be easily defeated in the game, in reality, their combat effectiveness can still be trusted.

Especially the terrifying two-handed axe of the Russian garrison, as long as it was chopped, even if it was wearing armor, it could not block the chopping of the axe blade, and for a time, many of the Qing soldiers were cut down by the tomahawk and died on the spot.

Although the Russian garrison used the template of the Han Chinese, they still seemed to maintain the fierce fighting style of Lao Maozi, and there were many Qing soldiers with severed limbs on the battlefield, or corpses that were directly disemboweled, and the entire battlefield was full of dazzling blood and flesh.

Under the offensive of the Russian garrison, the Qing soldiers soon wavered, and at this time, the riflemen who were slowly advancing behind them finally came to the flank of the battlefield and shot at the Qing soldiers on the battlefield.

The rout of the bird skullman was like dominoes, seeing the rout of the robe, the Qing soldiers in the front row, who had been shaken by the slaughter, also turned around and joined the rout, no matter how the Qing generals shouted, it was useless.

In desperation, the general could only be dragged by the rout and retreated to the mountain.
