Chapter 402: Attacking Jiangning
The hands on the pocket watch pointed to eight-ten, and twenty minutes were still the appointed time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoGeng Jingzhong suddenly stood up and slammed the wine glass on the ground: "Someone! ”
Uh, it's an old routine to smash the cup.
Only the sonorous sound of armor colliding was heard, and a large group of soldiers armed with swords and shields suddenly rushed out from behind the tent in the inner hall, surrounding the main table.
Maleji is a Manchurian from Guanwai, because he was born in the cold northeast since he was a child, and he originally drank very well, when he heard the sound and saw a group of knife and axe men suddenly rushing out, Maleji was startled and woke up more than half of the wine. He looked at the Jingnan Wangfu soldiers who suddenly rushed out, pointed at Geng Jingzhong and said, "Lord, what do you mean by this?" ”
Geng Jingzhong sneered: "Do it!" Take them all! ”
A group of fierce Jingnan palace soldiers rushed up at once, pressed Maleji to the ground, and put a thumb-thick hemp rope on him, tying him like a zongzi.
Han Shiqi, who had the worst amount of alcohol, was already drunk at this time, and when the axe hand rushed out just now, he was still lying on the table. When a group of soldiers surrounded him and tied him up strongly, Han Shiqi hadn't woken up yet, and was still sleeping.
Liang Huafeng is a native of Shaanxi, and the amount of alcohol is not bad. However, with so many Nanyang spirits in his stomach, he was already dizzy and swollen, and he only felt lightheaded, and he couldn't even stand up. When a group of knife and axe men rushed out, although Liang Huafeng felt bad, the whole person had already disobeyed the call, his hands and feet were weak, and he wanted to stand up and resist, but he only felt that his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and he couldn't even stand steadily.
Several royal soldiers came up, and immediately pressed Liang Huafeng to the ground and tied it with thick hemp rope.
Outside the inner hall, the group of Goshha and the pro-soldiers brought by Maleji and Liang Huafeng were already drunk, but the pro-soldiers of the Jingnan Wangfu were all fine, because these pro-soldiers of the palace were originally good at drinking, and they drank low-alcohol wine, and they clinked glasses with low-alcohol wine and spirits.
Hearing the sound of hands inside, the pro-soldiers in the outer hall also jumped up one after another, subduing all the Goshha and pro-soldiers who had just been drinking like brothers.
Among them, Goshha, who had just flirted with the little maid, was not drunk yet because of his good drinking. Hearing the movement, the Goshha noticed that the situation was not good, and was about to draw his knife, but was surrounded by a group of royal soldiers and chopped into meat with a random knife.
After a while, all the people brought by Ma Leji and Liang Huafeng were subdued, and even a group of Goshha and his own soldiers who did not go in to drink and stood outside the palace were all taken down by the Jingnan palace soldiers who had been ambushed in advance. All but a few rebels were killed, and all of the rest were captured.
At the city gate north of Jiangning City, a group of Qing soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were running towards the major city gates.
The soldiers stationed on the city tower were all green battalion soldiers, and when they saw the Han Eight Banner soldiers coming, where did they dare to say anything. After all, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are also banner people, and the banner man is not something that these low-level one-money men like the Green Battalion can offend. Although they didn't know what these Han Eight Banner soldiers were going to do, the banner of the person who came, as well as the officers who led the team, and the Green Battalion soldiers all recognized that it was the Han Eight Banner soldiers from Jingnan Palace.
Zhongfu Gate, the green battalion general stationed at the city gate always saw a Jingnan Wangfu Han Eight Banner leader with more than 200 flag soldiers coming up, and the green battalion commander hurriedly stepped forward with a smiling face: "This lord, you still come to the villain here so late!" ”
Han Baqi Zuo said: "The prince has an explanation, in order to prevent thieves from sneaking up, we were ordered to come to check overnight!" ”
The general manager of the green camp hurriedly handed over a cigarette: "This lord, the war is coming, where do the villains dare to slack off!" Please check slowly. ”
The leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty took the cigarette, and the general manager of the green camp hurriedly took out a box of matches from his arms and respectfully lit it for the leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. At this time, all the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty had already ascended the city gate tower and surrounded those green battalion soldiers.
"Take it!" The leader of the Han Eight Banners suddenly roared.
"Wow!" A few soldiers beat a thousand, and at once the green battalion commander was pinned to the ground.
Almost at the same time, all the Green Battalion soldiers stationed above the city gate were subdued.
The green camp general who was held down shouted loudly and wronged: "This master, what mistake did the villain make?" Why take the villain down? ”
The leader of the Eight Banners of Han sneered: "A certain person is acting on the orders of the prince!" The prince's matter, should you ask? Don't talk too much, go down honestly! ”
Zhongfu Gate was controlled by the Han Eight Banners of Jingnan Palace, and soon after, Qingliangmen and other city gates were also controlled by the Han Eight Banners of Jingnan Palace. When the time of 8:30 arrived, these soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who controlled the city gate saw a red firework rising over the Jingnan Palace in the city.
"It's time, open the door!" Han Eight Banner Leader shouted.
The soldiers of Jingnan Wangfu on the city gate lit all the torches and illuminated the city gate brilliantly. Then someone turned the winch, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered. In the city gate hole, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty moved the sandbags blocking the door, pulled the bolt of the door, and opened the city gate.
"It's in the city, brothers, let's go into the city!" Luo Zimu, who had already been ambushed outside the city, shouted.
Outside the city, countless torches suddenly lit up, and groups of Ming troops rushed to the outside of Zhongfu Gate. By this time the drawbridge had been lowered and the gates had been opened. The Zhejiang army, armed with torches, shouted and rushed into the city.
"Kill the Tartars!" The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, who were already shouting and killing and had a strip of red cloth wrapped around their arms, launched a fierce offensive against the Green Battalion and the Manchurian Eight Banners in the city together with the Ming troops who poured into the city. Uh, no, not an offensive, but a one-sided slaughter.
On the one hand, it has been planned for a long time, and on the other hand, it is unprepared. The Ming army that poured into the city opened a killing spree, except for a few green battalion Qing soldiers who were killed because of resistance, the rest of the green battalion Qing soldiers either fled in despair or surrendered on their knees.
The Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were much more courageous than the Green Battalion soldiers, and these Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners spontaneously took up arms and fought fiercely against the Han Eight Banners, which had already surrendered to the Ming army, and the Ming troops who poured into the city. After all, Nanjing is one of the most important cities in the country, and the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners stationed in Nanjing can be regarded as elite.
Seven years ago, when Zheng Chenggong went on the Northern Expedition, the Eight Banners in Nanjing were almost completely lost. Later, in order to make up for the losses, Shunzhi sent a group of Eight Banners soldiers from Beijing to Nanjing. Later, when Ao Bai came to garrison Anqing, he also managed to transfer a group of Eight Banners soldiers from outside the Guanwai into Nanjing to assist in the defense. Therefore, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners stationed in Nanjing were quite powerful, although their main generals had been captured in the Jingnan Palace, but the spontaneous resistance of these Eight Banners soldiers still defeated the Han Eight Banners and the Zhejiang army, and the Ming army's offensive was blocked at once.
