On the city of Nantong, the green banner on behalf of the green battalion soldiers is planted all over the city, and there is a hunting with the wind every more than 20 walls, and there is a Franco cannon under its banner, which is guarded by a general and his subordinates, and the area is demarcated for defense.

On the city wall, there were green battalion soldiers with spears in their hands, and they stood on the edge of the wall, revealing their upper bodies and their cold and shining spears. They stood side by side with the wall, spreading on both sides until they reached the corner of the wall, and behind the spearmen stood archers and gunmen, all of whom were in formation, ready for battle.

There are more than 9,000 green battalion soldiers in Nantong City, all of whom were elite soldiers from the four towns of the Hongguang Imperial Court. In addition to them, there were also five hundred red-armored Han soldiers brought by Liu Qingtai in the city. It should be said that the power of Nantong City is very strong, and Duoduo does have a reason for them to hold on for a month, but Liu Qingtai stood on the city wall, looking at the continuous rebels, but he lacked confidence in his heart.

Nantong is close to the Salt River and the Yangtze River, and it is very convenient to divert water, so the moat is very wide.

This was originally the advantage of defense, but at this time it became a dead hole in Nantong, Liu Qingtai saw that after the bandits besieged the city, he did not fill the river, nor did he build an embankment to block the aqueduct, but further dug and widened, and he knew the disaster.

"Your Excellency!" An officer of the Green Battalion said beside him: "In terms of time, Prince Yu should have already sent troops!" ”

"This official also hopes so, but the rebels occupy Huangqiao Town and Shizhuang, and they will inevitably leave soldiers and horses to block the attack, and we can't pin all our hopes on King Yu."

As soon as Liu Qingtai's voice fell, a soldier hurriedly ran up to the city to report, "Lord Qiqi, Mr. Zhou Qian is back!" ”

Liu Qingtai was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Where are the people?" ”

"Lord Hui, Mr. Zhou Qian has just entered Nancheng."

Without the need for soldiers to bring people, Liu Qingtai hurriedly walked to Nancheng with the generals, which shows that he said that he wanted to rely on himself, but in fact he was very eager for Duoduo's reinforcements.

The south of Nantong City is the Yangtze River, so Lu Wangjun did not garrison troops in the south, Zhou Qian avoided the ships cruising on the river of the Ming army, and went ashore all the way back to the city.

He was pulled up the city wall with a hanging basket, so he sat in the city tower and drank saliva to rest, and after a while, Liu Qingtai pushed the door in, and several green camp generals guarding the southern city in the city tower immediately stood up, Liu Qingtai couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't care, he was impatient now, and grabbed Zhou Qianzong's arm first, and asked urgently: "Did Prince Yu send troops?" ”

Zhou Qian always saw his expectant expression, and said in a low voice: "Lord Hui, Lord Yu has already sent troops, but he went straight to Taixian." Yu Wang Ye explained, let the adults guard for a month, Yu Wang Ye will inevitably break through Tai County first, and push all the way over. ”

When Liu Qingtai heard this, his expression froze, what is this, just bring back such news, it is better not to come back, so that the whole city has a thought. If the situation is good, it is said that if you hold on for a month, everyone will grit your teeth and be able to persevere, which is hope, but if you grit your teeth and only hold on for half a month, then the promise of this month is hopeless.

Zhou Qianhu saw that Liu Qingtai's expression darkened, and the hand that grabbed his arm was also loosened, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, I came back with the envoy sent by Prince Yu, and we parted ways under the city. ”

At this point, Liu Qingtai had no other way, but he didn't expect that he really couldn't pin his hopes on Duoduo.

At this time, he reluctantly raised his spirit, and could not let the generals lose confidence, so he spoke: "Since the prince sent an envoy to deal with the Haikou Kou, he must be able to buy us a few days, and you must use this time to make more preparations, and run Nantong like an iron bucket, and work together with the officials to defend the city, and after the prince Yu defeats the rebels, you and others will be rewarded, understand?" ”

Several generals of the green battalion also barely cheered up, and they just bent down with their fists in unison, but there was a sudden sound of war drums outside, and everyone was stunned for a while.

Didn't it say that an envoy entered the camp and could maneuver around for a while? These green battalions used to be the Ming army, and they could quickly distinguish the sound of various war drums in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Qingtai's face changed, and he hurried out of the city tower, and hurried to the east city.

In the entire Nantong Campaign, the investment of the Ming army was 110,000 people, except for more than 30,000 people who were guarded in the north of Nantong, and the remaining 80,000 people were under the city of Nantong, which was eight times that of the Qing soldiers in terms of strength comparison, which was very considerable, but in fact the real elite soldiers among the 80,000 horses were only 10,000 brought by Zhang Mingzhen, as well as the henchmen of Xie Qian and the leaders of the rebel army, probably less than 10,000 people.

At this time, under the city of Nantong, the Ming army sentry horses roared back and forth, the war drums in the camp rumbled, the brigade shouted the neighing of horses, the sound of drums and trumpets was endless, after each branch of people and horses had a full meal, they walked out of the camp according to the camp number, and began to set up a large array outside.

When Liu Qingtai came to Dongcheng, the green battalion soldiers in the city thought that they were waiting for a strict battle, and the red-armored Han army banner soldiers, carrying waist knives, shouted loudly and supervised, and some of the people who were requisitioned kept carrying rolling stones and sasswoods on the steps, and they were not busy up and down.

A team of archers, lined up, ran up the city wall with steps, and the tension spread instantly over the city.

Liu Qingtai came to the wall, propped his hands on the wall, looked at the city, only to see a temporary altar in front of the rebel array, one person was pushed out by several rebel bandits, kneeling in front, and a bandit behind him will directly raise the knife and fall, cut off the head, and then raise it high, and the rebel bandits in the array immediately burst out with a tsunami cry, wave after wave to the city.

"King Lu is a thousand years old, and the Ming Dynasty is restored!"

Liu Qingtai couldn't help but turn around and glared at Zhou Qianhu viciously, and he didn't say this for long, and he was immediately slapped in the face. That head must be the so-called envoy of King Yu, where is he here to buy time for Nantong, obviously to cheer up the thief army.

Mother's thousands of miles to send people's heads, Liu Qingtai's face was iron-clear, and he couldn't say a word.

Holding the head is Ruan Jin, the general of the Lu army, who was originally a sea thief, and was later subdued by Zhang Mingzhen, and the three brothers of the family are under Zhang Mingzhen, and they are Zhang Mingzhen's proud generals.

He waited for the army to shout for a while, then put down the head, the army then slowly quieted down, he turned around and ran quickly to the altar, presented the head to Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Mingzhen put the head on the tray where the sacrifice was placed, and then worshiped heaven and earth with the generals, comforted the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and finally read a text by Zhang Huangyan.

This matter of peace is led by Longwu, not to mention that King Lu does not believe in the Manchu Dynasty, even if it is true, King Lu will also stir up yellow for him.

At this time, after the completion of various ceremonies, Zhang Mingzhen put the sword in his hand and shouted, "Go to war!" ”

"Go to war!" The men and horses in the array also shouted in unison, the sound began to spread from outside the east city, transmitted to the outside of the north city, the atmosphere of the army was mobilized, and the sound waves hit the city from several directions, no matter how the combat strength of the Gao Yuan army was, the sound of so many people roaring, this momentum was very bluffing, giving heavy pressure to the defenders.

After shouting, many men and horses did not charge under the city, and several men and horses began to come out of the array, and came to the aqueduct connecting the moat to board the moored warship, and the rest of the men and horses all sat on the ground, waiting for the military order.

At this time, on the Wolf Mountain Fort, the flag danced, and then suddenly there was a loud bang, a red-clothed cannon retreated violently, and a black iron bullet roared out, flashing over the heads of the army, smashing into the city, and directly smashing a small building.

This is the gunner testing the gun, an officer looked at it, and after gesturing his hands for a while, he immediately commanded the other cannon: "Press down an inch on the muzzle of the gun, adjust the running position, and put it!" ”

With a "boom", the artillery was fired, and this time it was in the middle of the city wall, and the stone bricks and dust on the wall were smashed into a gray dust and smoke, and the green battalion soldiers on the city wall exclaimed.

The floating dust dispersed, the city wall was smashed into a large piece, the broken bricks and the rammed earth in the wall, falling with a bang, the red-coated cannon deserved to be a city-breaking artifact.

The Gao Yuan soldiers sitting on the ground were shocked by the sound of cannons, and they all looked up, they could be regarded as having gained knowledge today.
