After the Ming army entered the city from the south gate, it immediately divided into several groups to rush to various places in the city.

One was led by Xu Lin, who was familiar with the terrain of Xingshan City, and went straight to the temporary residence of the Huguang Admiral who was rebuilt from the original Li Laiheng Marshal's mansion;

Although Dong Xueli is not there, this place is still the command center of the Qing army in the city, that is, where the head is located.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the command is held, no matter how many Qing troops in the city are, they will be in a panic, and they will not be able to quickly assemble to deal with the situation in a short time.

In this way, when the Ming army brigade arrived, it would be able to completely control Xingshan City.

One was led by Zhao Jinzhong and pounced on the east gate;

One was led by Wang Shengming and pounced on the West Gate;

There is no time to take care of it at the north gate, and there are not enough troops.

In addition to defeating the defenders of the two gates, Zhao Jinzhong and Wang Shengming's task was also to set fire to create chaos along the way, so that the Qing army in the city did not know how many Ming troops were attacking and did not know the situation of their own departments.

Each team has about 200 people, and the rest is led by Gou Yu to control the south gate and send people back to report the news.

After the three Ming armies poured into the city, they went on a killing spree.

Because the people were moved to other places by the Qing army, there was no need to distinguish whether they were civilians or not, and those with braids on the back of their heads and wearing green battalion soldiers (brave) uniforms were enemies!

Under the surprise attack of the Ming army, more than 400 Anlu battalions at the south gate completely collapsed, more than 300 people were killed on the spot, and the remaining more than 100 people fled to the city in disarray.

"Chase, don't let them run!"

Xu Lin held a long knife in his hand and chased after this rout with Jiang Tiancheng and others.

One side fled, and the other pursued and killed.

Morale is one high, one is low.

There were constantly routing battalion soldiers who were chased by the Ming army and cut to the ground.

Some of the battalion soldiers had no choice but to dove into empty houses, and some of them simply threw down their weapons in frustration and knelt on the ground to bow down.

The Ming army ignored these battalion soldiers who had lost their courage and would not cause trouble to their own movements.

"The Manchurian soldiers have killed people!"

"The Tartars have killed!"

“”

Twenty or thirty out of breath battalion soldiers who were being chased ran and shouted for help, hoping that nearby friendly troops would appear in time to save them.

The incident happened so quickly that the battalion soldiers who fled in a hurry could not even figure out the true identity of the enemy.

It's confusing.

Even those who knew that it was not the Manchurian soldiers who pursued them but the Ming army, and they were unable to correct the blind screams of their comrades because they were in a hurry to flee for their lives.

"What's the matter, what's the ghost screaming from the south gate!"

"My lord, it seems that something happened at the south gate!"

"Sounds like the Manchurians killed someone?"

"What nonsense!"

“”

Xingshan is only a small city, and the distance between the gates is only two or three miles, and soon the rest of the gates and the Qing army in the city all heard the movement, and looked in the direction of the south gate one by one.

But the shouts that came made these green battalion soldiers confused, and they didn't know what the situation was.

"Lord Admiral also sent someone to ask about the situation of grain and grass yesterday, I don't want Lord Qian today"

Zhang Jinzhong, the deputy general who was discussing with Qian Wentao of the Daotai who was in charge of transporting grain at the temporary residence of the commander, heard the movement outside and thought that the battalion soldiers and the people had clashed again, and he couldn't help but be furious and prepared to send someone to deal with it strictly.

These days, there have been a few riots among the people.

When there was a shout of killing when he heard the movement, Zhang Jinzhong immediately froze.

He knew very well that the people only dared to shout when they made trouble, and would never dare to really clash with the officers and soldiers.

Then the shouting and killing outside must have something serious.

At that moment, he hurriedly rushed out of the garrison with his own soldiers, and before he could send someone to find out the reason, he saw a group of defeated soldiers of the Anlu battalion in the distance rushing towards the station.

Behind him was a large group of Manchurian soldiers wearing armor and sharp helmets and holding broadswords.

There was even a Red Army flag in the ranks of the Manchurian soldiers.

This made Zhang Jinzhong confused, and he didn't know which one of these troubles was going on.

In my ears came the screams of the battalion soldiers: "My lord, the Tartars have killed someone, save us!" ”

Did the Tartars kill?

Qian Daotai, who also came out with his hind feet, listened to the shouts of the battalion soldiers, his frightened face turned white instantly, and then instinctively jumped back, and then looked at the deputy general Zhang Jinzhong with a look of surprise.

This Qian Daotai actually thought that Zhang Jinzhong colluded with the Ming thieves to rebel, and the Manchurian soldiers came to suppress it!

It's not unprecedented.

In the early years, the rebellions of the generals of the Green Battalion can be said to have occurred one after another, almost subverting the Jiangshan Society of the Qing Dynasty.

"My lord, it's not good, the Tartars have rebelled!"

Zhang Jinzhong's subordinate Wu Degong was shocked to give another statement.

It is also a reasonable explanation.

Tartar rebellions are not unprecedented.

Three years ago, the Manchurian Eight Banners rebelled in Kunming to support Yongli and restore the Ming Dynasty, and almost killed Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi!

Afterwards, the imperial court thoroughly investigated the matter and cut off the heads of more than 2,000 real Manchurian soldiers!

At that time, when officials from all over the country heard about this, none of them were shocked and almost dropped their jaws.

Not to mention unprecedented, sensational for sure.

It's ridiculous.

But it happened, and it really made people speechless, and they couldn't say it.

"Nonsense!"

Wu Degong's shouting Zhang Jinzhong gave him a slap on the spot and scolded: "What Manchurian soldiers rebelled, it was the Ming army that entered the city!" ”

Why is it so certain, intuition.

"Huh? The Ming army has entered the city! ”

Wu Degong's frightened face couldn't be covered, and he stammered: "Big, what should I do?"

"If you really want the Ming army to enter the city, General Zhang has to hurry up and find a way!"

Qian Daotai also pondered a little taste, and hurriedly walked to Zhang Jinzhong's side and said: "If Xingshan falls into the hands of the Ming thief, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Can Zhang Jinzhong not know the consequences?

But it was impossible for him to take his own soldiers to meet him and fight hard with the Ming army, because the disparity between the enemy and our forces was too great.

is also decisive, and immediately ordered everyone to hurry up with him to the school field.

Daxiaochang is a military exercise ground opened up by Li Laiheng of the Ming army in the city, and after the Qing army occupied Xingshan, it became the camp of the commander of Huguang Admiral Dong Xueli.

The soldiers in front of the standard battalion commanded by Zhang Jinzhong lived in the Daxiao field.

This army is currently the only formed unit in Xingshan City that has not been attacked by the Ming army.

The Anlu battalions at the east and west gates, like the battalions at the south gates, were quickly scattered under the onslaught of the "Manchurian soldiers" due to the haste of the incident and the unclear situation.

The city was also full of fires, and thick smoke rose instantly.

After Xu Lin led his troops to attack the "headquarters" of the Qing army, he found that there was no one inside, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly led people to the Daxiao field.

Sure enough, the Ming army had just arrived, and many of the standard battalion soldiers inside had already gathered and were about to pour out.

"Brothers, follow me, and don't let them stand out!"

Regardless of his small number of people, Xu Lin led people to block it, and at the same time sent people to ask for help.

After receiving Xu Lin's request for help, Zhao Jinzhong and Wang Shengming, who were clearing out the remnants of the enemy, hurriedly brought people to reinforcements.

The two sides fought each other outside the Colonel's field.

One side wanted to rush into the school field and crush the Qing army, which was an organized army of soldiers and horses, while the other side was desperately trying to break out, and no one was willing to back down.

The fighting was extremely brutal, and in a short period of time, there were two or three hundred more corpses on the ground.

Wang Wu, who had already led his troops into the city, heard that there was still a Qing army formed force that was resisting his side, so he immediately asked his own soldiers to put on armor for him, and issued an order to all departments: "Whoever dares to carry a staff and fight me as an enemy will be beheaded!" ”

He immediately led the troops to the Daxiao Field.
