Qian Yong looked at his team. At this time, there were already ten artillery pieces that could not be used, either the chamber was blown up or the cracks were found. More than 500 musketeers were injured, so he should be put into the reserve team at this time.

Because there was a break in the city wall at the north gate, the Qing army was paying attention to it, and the pressure on other city walls was not too great. After Qian Yong discovered this, he left behind ten thousand young men as a reserve team just in case.

Qian Yong said to the Jiangyin garrison Zhao Tongxun behind him: "Mr. Zhao, it's a critical moment now, and I'm going to use you."

"Don't worry, General Qian, you will sacrifice your blood for our Jiangyin elders. Let's see us below!"

After saying that, Zhao Tongxun led a 10,000 new force to rush forward.

Qian Yong's plan is to use these 10,000 people to block the break first and give his firearm troops a cooling time.

Zhao Tongxun's 10,000 people were equipped with weapons produced in Dongguan, and their advantages over the weapons made by the Shangqing Army were very obvious. As soon as these 10,000 people joined, they immediately pushed the Qing army that had already rushed into the city out of the city. Seeing that his plan was useful, Qian Yong sighed and turned around and ordered his team to rest quickly and seize the time to inspect the weapons.

The North Gate persisted until dawn. Qian Yong saw that the east was white. The sun would come out in half an hour. Yan Qingshan should also solve the battle. He really couldn't hold on. If reinforcements did not come again, the North Gate would not be able to defend it.

The Qing army outside the city had reached the end of its strength, and more than 30,000 people were filled in this ten-meter-long break. When Liu Liangzuo was about to go back to discuss what to do with Kong Youde, he didn't expect Kong Youde to bring people to the front line.

Liu Liangzuo was about to come forward to say hello when he saw Berenican behind Kong Youde. Liu Liangzuo quickly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Sister welcomes Master Beren."

"Dog guy, how many times have you said that you are not worthy of being Ben Baylor's slave."

"Yes, yes, the villain knows. I don't know what Mr. Beile is doing on the front line?"

"Hmph!, you guys have been fighting all night, why haven't you rushed in yet?"

Liu Liangzuo was so scared that he kowtowed immediately: "Report to Mr. Beile, it's not that the villain doesn't work hard, it's because the enemy's firepower is too strong!"

"Shut up, General Zhengnan is very dissatisfied with your progress and ordered me to come here to supervise the army. If I haven't attacked at noon, I will chop your dog's head."

Liu Liangzuo looked up at the sky. It was dawn now, and it was still half a day before noon, but his 50,000 troops had already lost nearly 30,000 people. The remaining people were trapped and it was really hard for people to do so.

Liu Liangzuo gritted his teeth and said, "Master Beile, my men have suffered heavy losses. Please send me some more people."

"You said, how many more people do you need?"

"Please send me 30,000 troops from King Gongshun, and there is another one. King Gongshun pushes the red-clothed cannon five hundred meters away from the city wall to give us fire support."

Kong Youde, who was next to him, saw that Liu Liangzuo, brought him with him. He was about to open his mouth and scold him. Nikan, who was next to him, said first: "I satisfy both of these conditions. Can you guarantee that Jiangyin City be captured before noon?"

Liu Liangzuo has now forced himself to Liangshan. If he doesn't agree, he will not be able to take over Kong Youde's counterattack. Now he can only die and live, and there may be a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, Liu Liangzuo stood up and said, "Master Beile, I am willing to issue a military order. I can't take it down before noon and come to see you!"

"Hahaha, OK! Lord Liu seems to be a hero from this point of view. I will satisfy you all your conditions. You go!"

Liu Liangzuo, who received Nikan's guarantee, returned to his team, found a few confidants, and told them everything. These guys all clamored.

"Brother, the Tartars are asking us to die!"

"Brother, if not, let's lead the team anyway!"

Liu Liangzuo looked at his brothers. These people were his confidants, all of them were his old men in the left guard of Datong, Shanxi. Now they were all gangsters and deputy generals of each battalion. Liu Liangzuo said with red eyes: "We have suffered a serious loss of strength under this Jiangyin city. Where can we go? It depends on the form of the world. We can only fight to the death and defeat Jiangyin. Maybe there is still a way out. I just told the Tatars that they would have 30,000 Han military flags, and we can't die. Kong Youde should also fill some lives in it. Now when everyone goes back, our cannons will approach and shoot. After the cannons stop, you will immediately start attacking with success or failure."

Seeing that Liu Liangzuo made up his mind, these generals had no choice but to go back and prepare according to his arrangement.

After seeing Liu Liangzuo leave, Kong Youde came to Nikan and asked, "Belle, why do we use our own people?" Kong Youde's Han army flag had lost 30,000 people in the city, and there were less than 50,000 people left this time. If 30,000 people were to be filled in, the Han army flag was basically disbanded.

Nikan had no choice. Jiangyin had been delayed for more than two months. You should know that there were countless counties like Jiangyin in Nanzhili. If they were to continue like this, they would unify the Central Plains. It would be better to clean up the hometown in Northeast China.

"King Shun, the news came from Nanjing Yu King that there was a Ming Dynasty prince in Zhejiang who was reigning the country. We were delaying too much time here. If we gave the Ming Dynasty royal family time to calm down, it would be difficult to deal with it. This time you bring the Han army flag on it. If it still doesn't work, the general will send the Eight Mongolian Banners."

Kong Youde sighed secretly. It seemed that although he had followed the Qing Dynasty from Liaodong, he was still a cannon fodder army in their eyes. This time, after consuming Liu Liangzuo's new subordinate army, it was his turn.

Thinking of Kong Youde's words, he bowed down and rushed to the battlefield with his artillery team and the last 30,000 Han military flags.

Liu Liangzuo was a little embarrassed when he saw Kong Youde leading the team in person and was about to come forward to speak. Kong Youde said, "General Liu, we are grasshoppers on the same rope now. If you apologize, let's discuss how to fight for a while!"

Liu Liangzuo thought so, just like that, let’s talk about it together first.

"Then I'll stop being artificial. I'll ask the prince to direct cannons to bombard the city walls and expand the area of ​​the breakout. Then we rushed in with one go and killed all these damn Ming troops."

Kong Youde nodded and went down to command the gunner to set up the cannons. This time, Kong Youde knew that it would be impossible not to work hard. The artillery was set up very quickly. After a while, it was set up five hundred meters outside the city wall and began to fire guns and bombard the city wall.

Because the distance is shortened now, the accuracy of the Qing army has greatly enhanced, and seven or eight of the ten cannons can hit the target. In less than half an hour, the city walls at the breakdown collapsed one after another, and the breakdown continued to grow.

Seeing that the break had expanded to 100 meters, Liu Liangzuo was overjoyed. He ignored the pain in his butt, pulled out the battle knife and shouted: "Brothers, rush for me!"

At this time, Qian Yong in the city saw the enlargement of the city wall and knew that the decisive battle would be fought in this way. He ordered that ten thousand young and strong people be transferred from the city wall to snipe the Qing army entering the city.

Qian Yong's cannons can only be used for five or six, and the others have been damaged. Each musket can still be left with seven or eight rounds of ammunition. Qian Yong sighed and said, "Prince, it seems that the four treasures are going to die in Jiangyin." After Qian Yong said that, he pulled out his bayonet and shouted, "Put it and let these Tartars see that our new army is not a vegetarian!"

Qian Yong brought a musket team of less than two thousand people left, lined up in an orderly manner, and rushed towards the Qing army entering the city.

After Zhu Hongsan's rigorous training, the new army was far higher than the Qing army on the opposite side. As soon as the battle took place, the Qing army was stabbed to death by the bayonet formation. The new army's bayonets were specially customized by Zhu Hongsan, who was stung in the dark, and it was like the spikes of the Sanling Army in later generations, and blood was so fast. The Qing army, who was stabbed to the vital point, would flow one-quarter of the blood in its body within three minutes, and would die of ischemia in five minutes.

The more than 10,000 young and strong men led by Zhao Tongxun also knew that at the critical moment, they were all children of Jiangyin, and behind them were their parents and brothers, so how could they not fight to the death? The Qing army did not expect that they had already rushed to the city and were almost beaten out by someone.

Liu Liangzuo looked behind him and scolded the trash, and had no choice but to lead the team to the base of the city wall and approach the commander.

In this way, the two sides fought in a melee at the city wall. Although the Ming army had strong combat effectiveness, the number was too small. Qian Yong's 2,000 people plus Zhao Tongxun's more than 10,000 talents were less than 20,000, while Liu Liangzuo's troops on the opposite side of the Qing army had 60,000 people.

The battle in North City not only occurred at the break, but also at the city wall. However, the Qing army's attention was at the break, and the pressure on the city wall was not that great.

However, after Qian Yong transferred 10,000 people, the defense on the city wall began to be damaged, and several places had already attacked the city wall. Kong Youde behind him was also an old fry on the battlefield. Seeing the opportunity, he immediately invested in the last five thousand reserve teams.

With the investment of the Qing army's reserve team, the city walls began to be unable to resist. After all, these young and strong men who were guarding the city were not professional soldiers. They were okay to fight a smooth battle, but the war was unfavorable and they began to flee one after another.

When Qian Yong saw the city wall being broken through, he scolded the young and strong for seeking death. In this case, he would be a death to escape. If he left his life to fight, he might have a way to survive.

The young and strong men on the city wall began to escape, and the young and strong men at the bottom of the city were also infected, and some people began to escape. Zhao Tongxun killed a few escaped, but more and more people fled, and Zhao Tongxun was unable to kill them. Qian Yong sighed when he saw this, and it seemed that the general situation was gone. What Qian Yong didn't know was that his place was pretty good, the east gate and the south gate had been broken, and now the Qing army brigade had entered the city. The whole city was trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and the Qing army began to burn, kill and plunder.

Just when Qian Yong was about to give up, there was finally a sound of cannons coming from the Beimen Wharf, and Yan Qingshan's navy finally arrived.

Qian Yong was overjoyed when he heard the dull sound of naval cannons and finally waited for these pirates.
