I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 136 The Battle of Nanjing

In order to conquer Nanjing, an important southern town that was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijiong spent a lot of money.

Not only did he personally conquer Nanjing, but the number of troops attacking Nanjing exceeded [-].

You must know that with so many soldiers and horses, the daily loss of food and salary alone is an astronomical figure.

Therefore, Zhu Yijiong directly ordered a fierce attack on the first day. The first army to attack was the first army with the highest morale and combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Not only that, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, Zhu Yijiong also ordered the first to go to the camp to load a large amount of white sugar Big Ivan in a shield car and coffin, and then go with the army to the bottom of Nanjing City to conduct blasting operations.

Only half an hour after the siege began, the city defenses at the top of Nanjing were already crumbling.

Although these Eight Banners Qing troops at the head of the city burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness under the influence of survival instinct, this combat effectiveness is not just about courage.

In addition, most of the Qing troops at the top of the city were brave soldiers. These soldiers had only been recruited for a few days, and they could not even be regarded as recruitment. Almost all of them were recruited by force. They had no fighting will and were not even in good health. large.

Such an army is almost exactly the same as the Qing army that the Ming army encountered in Fujian and Zhejiang.

The troops are insufficient, the fighting power is not refined, and even the quality of the soldiers is uneven.

Although Longkodo and Yongjina were stationed at the Cangbo and Qilin gates with their own soldiers, the defenses of the four west gates of the city were soon unable to withstand the fierce attack by the First Army, which continued and fought without fear of death. Living.

Cangbo Gate.

No, we can't keep fighting like this!

The Puppet Ming offensive is too rapid and its own troops are insufficient. If this continues, Nanjing City will be defeated sooner or later.

Longkodo couldn't help but thought to himself, but he didn't have any good ideas. The outer city of Nanjing was too big, and there were even eighteen gates in the outer city.

He and Yongjina only had only 3 Eight Banners soldiers, plus the young and strong soldiers who had been forcibly recruited in the past few days, the total was less than [-] troops, and they could not hold it at all.

Unless they directly abandon the defense of the outer city and instead defend the inner city, 3 troops are barely enough.

But similarly, even if the inner city can be defended, it is just waiting to die.

and many more……

In this attack on the city, the Puppet Ming navy did not enter the Yangtze River, and the Puppet Ming army mainly attacked the four gates of Cangbo and Qilin, and the remaining sixteen gates were basically besieged.

And I still have warships on the Yangtze River...

At Qilin Gate, Yongjina had just driven a strong Ming army off the city wall. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, threw away the curled sword in his hand, and picked up one from the ground. The intact blood-stained waist knife.

Prepare to rest for a while before continuing the fight.

However, he also saw that the outer city might not be able to be defended, and he had to send someone as soon as possible to ask Commander Long for instructions on whether to retreat to the inner city.

Just as Yongjina was thinking secretly, suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the city.

Regardless of his fatigue, Yongjina instantly stood up and lay down on the battlement to look outside. He saw that the pseudo-Ming thieves who had just retreated like a tide suddenly attacked again.

No, they are not attacking, but are gathering towards the south.

How is this going?

Before he could react, a soldier from the Eight Banners Qing Dynasty stumbled over, covered in blood, without even a helmet, and only a money rat tail on his head. As soon as he got close, he knelt down.

"General... no... it's bad... the fake Ming... fake Ming thieves have entered the city!"

"What! This is impossible. How could the puppet Ming bandit army enter the city? Which city gate was broken?" Yongjina looked shocked, stared at the man and grabbed the man's collar and shouted.

"It's... it's Cangbo Gate... Cangbo Gate was broken!"

"Cangbo Gate? That's nonsense. That's the city gate where Marshal Long is stationed. How is it possible..."

As soon as the words came to his lips, Yongjina seemed to suddenly understand something.

You must know that Cangbo Gate is the defense area where Longkodo is stationed, and Longkodo's command is the Beijing Eight Banners. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are many times more elite than his Jiangning Eight Banners.

Even if the pseudo-Ming attack was fierce, it would not be possible without any warning. It could be broken so quickly. Even if the Cangbo Gate was really in danger, Commander Long should have had time to send someone over to ask for help. How could it be so without any warning.

In this case, there is only one possibility...

"Longkodo, you idiot who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Villain!" Yongjina's eyes were red and he scolded in the direction of Cangbo Gate.

At this time, the Cangbo Gate had been completely opened, and the defenders who were supposed to be there had long disappeared. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the First Army poured in like a tide.

Not only the soldiers of the First Army, but the Second Army, the Seventh Army in the rear, and the [-] surrendered troops also launched a charge towards the Nanjing City in front of them.

"The city is broken! The city of Nanjing is broken!"

"Kill! Kill the Qing dogs. The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Long live the prison country!" "Those who put down their weapons and kneel down and surrender will avoid death!"

"..."

Tens of thousands of Ming troops charged and shouted loudly.

At the same time, under a city wall not far from Cangbo Gate.

Several disgraced soldiers of the Ming army also drew their swords, and the leading officer shouted: "Brothers, we dug this hole in vain, but we can't work in vain. Kill the dogs, long live the prison country! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious." !”

"Long live the prison! Great Ming wins!"

"Kill!"

Good guys, these Ming troops who served as the demolition team also joined the battle.

Yongjina did not give up at this time and forcibly mobilized thousands of Eight Banners and thousands of soldiers to drive out the Ming army from Cangbo Gate.

However, to no avail.

The number of Ming troops pouring in from Cangbo Gate has already exceeded a thousand, and they are all veterans of the First Army. There are more Ming troops coming in a steady stream.

The Eight Banners under Yongjina's command were directly defeated and dispersed by the First Army.

As for the thousands of young soldiers who came with them, when they saw that the Eight Banners masters were scattered, they immediately discarded their weapons and fled in all directions.

Yongjina led his own soldiers and only gathered some of the remaining soldiers of the Eight Banners, fighting and retreating in the alleys of Nanjing.

"General, we can't stop you here, let's retreat quickly!"

"No, I won't retreat!"

Yongjina's face seemed to be furious: "Today..."

"Boom~"

Before he finished speaking, there was another explosion. It turned out that the Ming army saw that these Eight Banners soldiers were fighting them desperately. In order to reduce casualties, they actually used grenade hammers.

Grenade, this is a weapon in street fighting. Hundreds of grenade hammers were thrown and killed hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers in the front on the spot. The remaining surviving Eight Banners soldiers finally collapsed.

They all shouted: "It's a demon! It's a demon!"

"General, run quickly. We are finished. There is still time to run. We still have ships on the Yangtze River. Let us lead the general to break out!"

Those soldiers were quite loyal. Seeing that the situation was over, they quickly shouted loudly.

However, Yongjina seemed to understand everything at this moment.

At this time, Yongjina was completely lost. He was lost for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! As expected of an imperial envoy from Beijing, an imperial envoy!"

Halfway through laughing, he suddenly started crying again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why did you choose such a person to be the governor of Jiangnan! My slave, my slave really tried his best!"

Halfway through the words, several Ming soldiers in red clothes and armor emerged from the smoke. They directly saw Yong Jina, who was not flashy in his clothes, but he definitely did not look like an ordinary general.

"With this kind of armor, this guy must be a high-ranking official. Hurry, capture him alive and present it to the prison state!" A Ming army officer shouted with excitement.

Seeing this, Yongjina stopped crying, held up the blood-stained waist knife in his hand, and shouted: "I am General Yongjina of Jiangning. You and other rebellious officials and traitors want my head. If you have the ability, come and get it." !”

The two sides immediately fought. Yongjina slashed over and chopped down a Ming soldier on the spot.

"happy……"

As soon as the word "happy" came out of his mouth, a knife was slashed directly from the neck, and the head flew up from Yongjina's neck.

At the last moment when consciousness disappeared, I could only hear a curse shouted in Hu Jian dialect: "I'm so happy that you're fucked!"

The remaining soldiers saw that the general was dead and wanted to avenge him, but under the siege of the Ming army in large numbers, they quickly received the box lunch.

Jiangning General Yongjina died in the battle in the city. As for Longkodo, he had long since disappeared with his thousands of Beijing Eight Banners troops.

Nanjing City is now leaderless, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely defeated.

In front of the formation outside the city, Zhu Yijiong put down his telescope and looked at the Ming troops filing into Nanjing City in front of him.

"Nanjing City, the lonely Ming Nanjing City, was finally conquered... no, it was finally recovered!"
