Outside Qilin Gate, Chen Yue was anxious on his horse.
Why did the battle end like this?
He thought the defenders had surrendered, but who knew it was a ploy to lure the enemy?
Who should be blamed, father?
Thinking about how he could express his complaints now that he was in danger. \ In this case, knowing that you are being ambushed, it is best to withdraw your troops from the city first, and then try to attack the city.
But my father is in the city.
What will he do if he withdraws the army?
Therefore, knowing that he was ambushed, Chen Yue could only grit his teeth and fight on.
Even if he suffered heavy casualties, he still had to break into the city.
"Master Marquis, let me lead the troops into the city."
Yu Feng ran back with the cavalry and asked Chen Yue for orders.
"Bullshit, the city is full of houses and streets, and it is under siege by the enemy.
Can your cavalry run?"
Chen Yue's face was gloomy, and Yu Feng suddenly did not dare to say anything more.
"Master Marquis, Xianhemen has surrendered.
Vice General Jin has already invaded the city."
A horseman came from the north and reported to Chen Yue, which made Chen Yue overjoyed.
"Real or false?"
Chen Yue suppressed his surprise and asked.
"Really, Vice General Jin has entered the city, and the entire Xianhemen is in our hands."
"Hahaha, hahaha."
Chen Yue laughed.
He was really deliberately planting flowers and unintentionally planting willows to create shade.
He thought that Qilin Gate would surrender, so he placed the main force of the Pingnan Army here.
Although he knew that this was a fake surrender, However, the Xianhe Sect surrendered without attacking.
"Order Jin Shenghuan to lead his troops to march towards Qilin Gate and attack behind the defender Liu Zeqing's troops."
Chen Yue ordered to the visitor.
Looking at his back on horseback, he felt much relieved.
Jin Xin's troops have all entered the city, and Li Yi's camp is also entering.
Including the teaching camp, there are more than 4,000 people in total.
An ambush has been set up in the city.
It is impossible to easily kill these 4,000 elites.
As long as Jin Shenghuan leads his troops to attack After that, a two-way flanking attack will surely defeat the defenders.
The ambushing enemy army must be the main force of Liu Zeqing's troops.
As long as Liu Zeqing's troops are defeated, the entire Nanjing will surrender without a fight.
"Yu Feng, you can take your troops into the city.
Enter the city from Xianhe Gate and wipe out the defenders along the way."
Chen Yue ordered.
Since Xianhe Gate has been captured, cavalry can be sent into the city quickly to attack all parties and put pressure on the defenders. .
When Yu Feng's cavalry headed north at lightning speed, Chen Yue himself followed him into the Qilin Gate with his guard battalion.
Jin Shenghuan's attack on Xianhemen was very dramatic.
It was originally a feint attack.
He pretended to move his troops away, and hundreds of regiment training soldiers carried seven or eight ladders to the city wall.
When there was a slight arrow falling on the city, they hurriedly withdrew.
Then Jin Shenghuan sent out archers, and under the protection of sword and shield soldiers, they started shooting at the city.

The arrows on both sides were very lively, but there were no casualties.
After a while, the gate of Xianhemen suddenly opened, which startled Jin Shenghuan.
He thought that the defenders were coming out of the city to attack.
When he was about to order the archers to retreat, he found that only one person came out of the city, a scholar in a robe, holding in his hand Also holding a white flag.
"The student Hou Fangyu, under the command of Lord Qian Qianyi, is here to welcome the general into the city."
The scholar named Hou Fangyu said to Jin Shenghuan with a smile on his face.
"What's going on?"
Jin Shenghuan had a big word "confused" written on his forehead.
Why did he surrender before he even fought?
Hou Fangyu explained to Jin Shenghuan in a soft voice that in addition to the more than 500 guardsmen guarding the Xianhe Gate, there were also more than 2,000 rural soldiers, and these rural soldiers were all Hou Fangyu, under the orders of Qian Qianyi, with a group of soldiers.
He was recruited by the gentry, and the civil servants sent to guard the gate were also students of Qian Qianyi, a member of the Donglin Party.
So not long after Jin Shenghuan's army attacked the city, the civil servant guarding the gate called the general to the tower and forced him with a sword to surrender.
"Master Qian heard that His Majesty had returned south safely.
He was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
He was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
How could he continue to serve the rebel King Fu?
So he secretly ordered us to recruit strong men to serve as internal agents."
Hou Fangyu spoke eloquently in Jin Shenghuan's ears, claiming that he dedicated the city only on Qian Qianyi's order.
"Master Qian understands righteousness, and I admire him.
I will go to the city to meet him face to face."
Jin Shenghuan said quickly.
As a military general, he naturally knew that these civil servants could not afford to offend him.
Since Qian Qianyi was willing to belong to his own side and had made great achievements, It will definitely be reused by Chongzhen in the future.
"My mentor, he is currently guarding the Chaoyang Gate in the inner city.
He is also waiting for the imperial army to attack the city so that the inner army can open the Chaoyang Gate to welcome the army."
Hou Fangyu said.
"Master Qian is a truly loyal person," Jin Shenghuan sighed.
Then he led more than 3,000 regiments of training troops into Xianhemen, took over the entire city defense, and sent people to report the victory to Chen Yue and wait for the next order.
When he heard that the main force was ambushed by Liu Zeqing's army at Qilin Gate and fell into a trap, Jin Shenghuan left part of the army to guard Xianhe Gate and led most of the troops to attack in the direction of Qilin Gate.
Hou Fangyu volunteered and followed with two thousand rural soldiers to help the army deal with Liu Zeqing.
Chen Yue entered Qilin Gate, took over the command of the entire army, and ordered everything to be transported to the top of the city, with the guns pointed directly at Liu Zeqing's army.
Liu Zeqing's army was launching an attack on Pingnan's army, which happened to be within the range of the artillery.
In order to facilitate the march, the artillery accompanying the Pingnan Army was placed on artillery carts.
Dragged by hundreds of soldiers, they were transported one after another along the horse road to the top of the city.
They smashed the gap in the parapet wall and pointed the muzzle directly at Liu Zeqing's army. .
Dozens of artillery fired continuously, and the shells fell directly behind Liu Zeqing's army array.
The solid shells rushed with huge kinetic energy, leaving a mess wherever they passed.
In fact, the power of solid artillery shells is not very powerful, not even comparable to the squatting tiger cannon, but the sound is too terrifying.
Looking at the mangled bodies of the companions around them that were smashed by the shells, the other soldiers were all frightened.
"Let me attack and kill them all!"
Liu Zeqing, who was commanding from behind, had his eyes red and shouted loudly while jumping on his feet.
More than 10,000 enemy troops besieged the city.
Their strength was several times that of the enemy, but they still couldn't defeat it.
This made him angry.
For Liu Zeqing, he has no way to retreat now and cannot defeat the Pingnan army in front of him.

The only thing waiting for him is defeat.
Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo will be his fate.
Therefore, Liu Zeqing, who always fled when encountering strong enemies, burst out with great courage and personally urged his troops to attack.
However, seeing more and more enemy troops entering the city, the morale of his soldiers gradually dropped.
After being bombarded by artillery on the city head, many of them had already begun to think of escaping.
At this moment, there were loud shouts of killing.
Liu Zeqing suddenly looked up and saw an army coming from the north.
In front of the army, a large flag embroidered with "Pingnan Hou Chen" was fluttering in the wind
