After Wang Yan gave the order, Sun Youguang and several Hongmaoyi were executed, Sun Youguang wailed and cried into tears, and Hongmaoyi also burst into tears one by one, howling non-stop.

At the time of the execution, the people and many soldiers in Neiguo City came to watch, and they did not want to see Sun Youguang, but to see the killing of Hongmaoyi.

The people of Nanjing, they have seen a lot of big scenes, and they have seen a lot of head killing, but this is the first time they have seen the red-haired Yi, and many people want to see what is the difference between these red-haired ghosts.

After this punishment, the Ming army outside Nanjing became more murderous.

Since the Hekou Fort has been captured, Wang Yan has more than 40 red-coated cannons and 50 or 60 general cannons.

However, Gan Hui, who attacked the Guabu Mountain Fort, did not go well, and originally thought that the fort could be taken in one day, but as a result, the Zheng army lost 1,000 people, and the back attack ended in failure several times.

This made Gan Hui have to ask Wang Yan for his guilt, and Wang Yan didn't blame him, because he had already received the news that Duoduo had moved to Guabu next to Guabu Mountain, and Guabu Mountain was in Jiangbei, and Duoduo could support him at any time, so it was really difficult to attack.

Completely cutting off the connection between Nanjing and Jiangbei could not be realized for a while, and Wang Yan's consciousness could not be taken off anymore, since he could not hit the Guabushan Fort, then he would hit the lime mountain outside the north city of Nanjing, and hit the Jiangmen, which could still have a certain blockade effect.

The target was locked, and the Ming army began to sweep many Qing strongholds outside the inner city of Nanjing.

Zheng Chenggong attacked Lime Mountain, Jin Shenghuan attacked Purple Mountain, and Gao Yigong attacked Xiaolingwei, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Among them, Jin Shenghuan's troops fought the hardest, the Jiangxi soldiers were newly defeated, the morale was not high, and the Purple Mountain was the key defense of the Qing army, and it was not beaten down several times, but fortunately, Gao Yigong first broke the Xiaoling Guard, and then quickly reinforced, and the Qing army was defeated into the city.

On August 14, the strongholds of the Qing army outside Nanjing were swept away one by one, leaving only the hardest bone of Nanjing, and the Ming army besieged the inner city on three sides and prepared to attack.

At this point, although the connection between Nanjing and Jiangbei was not completely severed, after the Hekou Fort was broken, the water surface that Guabu Mountain could control was also very limited, and the Qing army did not dare to brazenly transport troops across the river, and it can basically be said that the general trend has been decided.

Wang Yan led the army to worship the filial piety tomb, and the sacrificial text to comfort Emperor Gao and Emperor Daxing also said: "In the south of the great river, only the city of Nanjing is still in the hands of the enemy, although it is not easy to take it quickly, but the ministers break it, but sooner or later, Taizu learned that it should be comforted." ”

Regarding his own situation, Hong Chengchou, who is in Nanjing, naturally understands it very well and knows that it is already very critical.

The fall of the fort and the peripheral Purple Mountain and other key places made him a little frightened, the combat strength of the Ming army was not what it used to be, and even more elite than the more than 100,000 Ming troops he had brought to Songshan.

However, in the face of the rolling trend, Wang Yan was determined to win Nanjing, but Hong Chengchou was not ready to admit defeat, and he still had the hope of turning defeat into victory in his heart.

Nanjing can be said to be the strongest and tallest city in the world, to a certain extent, it is stronger than Beijing, his troops are still enough, Duoduo echoes him in Jiangbei, and the materials in the city are also sufficient, or he and Bolo are in battle, he has enough confidence to hold out for a while.

As a member of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he knew that the Qing court could not do without Jiangnan, and if Jiangnan was lost, the Qing court's finances would collapse, and Dolgon would definitely come to the rescue.

Although he knew that the Ming army's naval division was powerful, but thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, Wang Yan couldn't prevent it even if he wanted to, as long as the reinforcements came, there was always a way to cross the river to support.

On 15 August, the Ming army's attack on the inner city of Nanjing officially began.

Why choose this day, it is also auspicious, now the Mid-Autumn Festival is mostly just moon appreciation, reunion, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there is another meaning.

On August 15, the Tartars were killed, and the picture was auspicious, and what they engaged in was superstition.

Early in the morning, nearly 100,000 Ming troops who participated in the battle outside Nanjing had breakfast and began to prepare for the siege.

Wang Yan led his army to attack Xicheng, Jin Shenghuan attacked Nancheng, Zheng Chenggong attacked Dongcheng, and the sailors inspected the river and found that the Qing army in Jiangbei crossed the river, even if it was the red-coated cannon on Guabu Mountain, it had to be intercepted.

At three o'clock in the morning, under the city of Nanjing, the Ming army and the horse army roared back and forth, checked the battlefield, passed the military order, the people in the camp shouted the horse neighing, the sound of drums and trumpets was endless, after the army had eaten early in the morning, the battalion infantry pushed out the siege equipment out of the camp, and placed it two miles away from the city.

The Ming army is still in array here, and the artillery positions of Purple Mountain and Lime Mountain have already begun to prepare for artillery bombardment.

The Ming army is not short of red-coated cannons now, after occupying the Purple Mountain, only on the Purple Mountain, a hundred red-coated cannons were transported, in addition to the lime mountain in the east, Zheng Chenggong also put a hundred red-coated cannons, and Wang Yan also had more than 70 in the west.

Purple Mountain is in the southeast of Nanjing, where Jin Shenghuan is responsible for the attack, but the heavy artillery of the Jiangxi soldiers has long been lost, so the artillery team of the Purple Mountain is the artillery team of the Five Loyal Army.

The commander of the artillery team is Chen Yujie, the commander of the artillery team of Wuzhong, who is a master of using artillery.

At this time, the artillery non-commissioned officers on the battery were busy carrying ammunition and moving artillery, but even busier than them were Chen Yujie and a group of artillery instructors beside him.

In the city of Nanjing, Hong Chengchou colluded with the Dutch, Wang Yanjun had already cooperated with the Portuguese, and even Zheng Chenggong's subordinates also had two kinds of domain soldiers, the Wu Domain soldiers and the White Domain soldiers.

The instructors of the artillery corps were many Portuguese or Jesuit missionaries, and of course more of Wang Yan's own officers.

Behind each Portuguese, they were basically followed by several Ming officers, carefully observing them calculating distances through "rulers", "cannon gauges" and "clairvoyants" to determine the charge and artillery elevation angle.

These things also involve arithmetic, as well as the geometry of Xiyi, ordinary soldiers really can't understand, can't learn, for this reason Wang Yan also specially found a few fallen talents, filled into the artillery team, so that the artillery team slowly cultivated a group of talents.

At the foot of the mountain, most of the formation of Jin Shenghuan's army has been lined up, and at the front are 10,000 green battalion prisoners, who are the main force to build pontoon bridges and clear obstacles, and behind are the soldiers of the various departments of the Wuwei Army.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan was riding on a horse, and a cavalry suddenly galloped in front of him, Jin Shenghuan listened, looked back at Purple Mountain, and then ordered the army to sound gold, and the rangers who had already arrived under the city in the distance heard the sound, and immediately retreated.

And almost at the same time, on the Purple Mountain, suddenly there was a loud noise, a red cannon suddenly retreated, and a black iron projectile flew over the head of the cavalry, flashed in the air, and smashed on the city wall, and immediately the masonry cracked, and a pit was dug in the city.

After this cannon, there was not much time to take, and then nearly a hundred iron bullets roared, some hit the city wall, and a small flower composed of stones and dust exploded on the wall, and some smashed into the moat, splashing a column of water.

In an instant, this section of the city was bombarded by hundreds of iron bullets, each cannon raised a cloud of stone and soil, and the entire section of the city wall was shrouded in smoke and dust in an instant, and the Qing army on the city suddenly screamed again and again.

The roar of cannon fire reached the city, and the people took refuge in their houses and did not dare to come out.

In Nanjing's Nancheng Fuxue, nearly 1,000 Ming Dynasty nobles and ministers were imprisoned, as well as gentry who might be emotionally inclined to the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing army continued to send people to it every day.

Qian Qianyi, as the former secretary of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, has no doubt that the elder brother has been arrested again.

At this time, he was huddled in a large hall with nearly 100 people, sitting on the ground, closing his eyes and recuperating, when suddenly the rumbling sound of cannon came and made him open his eyes.

Next to him, a gentry leaned in, looked left and right, and whispered happily: "Brother Mu Zhai, the Hengyang Domain has begun to attack the city!" ”
