Nanjing City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the largest city wall in the world.In that year, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the defense of the Beijing Division, built the city according to the mountains and rivers in the Nanjing area on the basis of Jiankang City, and built four city walls of the palace city, the imperial city, the inner city and the outer Guo, forming a fortress city with the benefits of mountains and rivers and the trend of empty rivers and lakes.The Ming army captured the head of the Qing army in the battle of Zhenjiang, built a Jingguan outside the city of Nanjing, and at the same time cut Tian Xiong, which shocked the Qing army in Nanjing, but after the shock, Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong had no way to deal with the city of Nanjing.After all, there are still more than 20,000 Qing troops in the city, far more than the Ming army, and the walls of Nanjing are thick, so the Ming army cannot attack Nanjing at all.Outside Nanjing, at the eastern foot of Lime Mountain, on the river outside Guanyin Gate, the Ming ships were anchored here, and the gunboats shelled the city tower from time to time, which became the only means for the Ming army to threaten Nanjing.At the head of Nanjing, Hong Chengchou stood on the city at this time, paying close attention to the movements of the Ming army outside the city.The strength of the Ming army under the city gave the Qing army a great shock, and the entire Jiangnan region was unstable.This made Hong Chengchou realize that Nanjing must not be lost, once Nanjing was broken by the Ming army, and the rebellion in Jiangnan that had just been suppressed, I am afraid that it would immediately swarm again, and a large number of green battalion soldiers might even join the rebellion.But fortunately, there are still more than 20,000 troops in Nanjing, more than the Ming army, plus the upper soldiers and horses, as well as the garrisons of Xuzhou and Huai'an, will come when they receive the news.The city of Nanjing is high and thick, Hong Chengchou looked at the strength of the Ming army, and felt that it should not be a big problem to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.The Qing army, which was intimidated by the Ming army in the city, quickly regained their composure after the initial panic, with the city as their backing.Although Hong Chengchou didn't think that a Ming army could stir up much trouble in Nanjing, he still didn't dare to take it lightly.After all, this time the Ming army actually fought all the way to Nanjing, and there have been too many miracles in them, and it is inevitable that nothing strange will happen.At this time, Hong Chengchou looked at the gunboats on the river, the shuttling ships, and the camps on the land of the Ming army, slapped the wall battlements with his hand, and couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, "I have been an old superintendent for many years, and I don't want to be forced to this point by two unknown people today." ”Hong Chengchou shook his head, and then led many Qing generals to inspect along the city wall, and as he walked, he commanded: "Nanjing City is big, it is impossible to defend everywhere, but as long as you find the key place and defend it, it will not be too difficult." ”Hong Chengchou stopped in front of the city tower, "Remember, the key to defense is the city gate, and the second is to always pay attention to the movements of the Ming army outside the city, and send people to monitor the enemy army for twelve hours. ”The officers behind him nodded again and again, and another official quickly recorded Hong Chengchou's words, which were copied to everyone later.Hong Chengchou pointed to the Ming army camp in the distance and said: "The enemy army has few soldiers and cannot besiege the city, in addition to patrolling the city and paying attention to the enemy's movements, you can also send scouts to go out of the city to monitor the enemy army, grasp the enemy's movements, once the enemy army is out of the camp, you must immediately warn and determine the direction of the enemy's attack."
Although the city of Nanjing is high and thick, the city is too large, and if you cannot determine the movement of the enemy, it will be difficult to defend. ”Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou turned around and asked, "Have you written it down?"
”"Please take a look!"
The shogunate secretary of the record hurriedly presented the notebook.Hong Chengchou looked through it, handed it back to him, and then continued: "In addition, it is also necessary to organize several elites to patrol the guerrilla battalion and the city, and to agree with the guerrilla battalion on a signal, the enemy soldiers will attack the city, and the cityhead patrol can quickly release a signal to inform the guerrilla battalion, the direction of the enemy's attack, and how many troops there are." ”~~~~~~, when Hong Chengchou was inspecting the city defense, outside the gate of Yaofang, inside the camp of the Ming army, Li Chengdong, Zhao Ming and others were discussing the military situation around a sand table placed in the middle of the handsome tent.Li Chengdong's general Yan Keyi said: "Marshal, the Qing army in Nanjing is estimated to have more than 20,000 people, more than us, and the city is tall, it is difficult to attack!"
”If you want to eat a big city like Nanjing, there is no 100,000 troops, there is no need to start at all, most of the people feel that more than 10,000 people, can break through the barrier, come to the city of Nanjing, it is not easy, to fight Nanjing is unimaginable."
The city of Nanjing is thick and thick, Hong Chengchou has more troops than us, and there must be a large amount of military supplies in the city, even if the commander fills in all the troops, it is unlikely that the city will be broken."
Li Chengdong frowned and muttered: "Now that the soldiers are coming to Nanjing City, the goal has been achieved, and Nanjing cannot be captured, the Qing army reinforcements will continue to come, it is better to accept it when it is good, and quickly retreat!"
”In the city of Nanjing, there are more than 20,000 Qing soldiers, in addition, Wuhu and Anqing in the upper reaches of Nanjing, there are also Qing army garrisons, not to mention Duoduo back to the division to rescue, that is, the Qing army around Nanjing rushed over, and the Ming army could not bear it.Zhao Ming waved his hand and said: "No, if you retreat like this, you must not let Duoduo return to the division, and you must make the movement bigger." ”Li Chengdong frowned and looked at Zhao Ming, "Then what do you want to do?"
Do you want to wait for the Qing army reinforcements to come and encircle and annihilate us?
”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "It's not enough to move now, at least break the outer city!"
”Li Chengdong was dissatisfied: "Is Nanjing so easy to fight?
You are talking about it, there are less than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, how are you going to fight Nanjing!
”After speaking, Li Chengdong hugged his arms and waited for Zhao Ming to make a fool of himself, "Mother, Lao Tzu has been fighting for so many years, can you fight, you can see at a glance, you are stunned, you are going to confront Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to see how you end." ”Zhao Ming walked to the sand table, did not hesitate, pointed to a section of the city wall and said: "I have checked, this section of the city wall is built against Zhongshan Mountain, so there is no moat, we can dig a tunnel, blow up a section with explosives, and then pour into Nanjing through the gap." ”Zhao Ming glanced at the crowd: "Although it is only an attack on the outer city, the impact cannot be underestimated, there will be a big earthquake in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and if you spread the word, you can respond in groups!"
”Li Chengdong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhao Ming to really have a way.Xia Wanchun's eyes lit up, "If you can really attack Waiguo and occupy Xiaolingwei, the people who are watching Jiangnan may respond."
At that time, as long as there are a few prefectures and counties anyway, we will take out the capture of Zhenjiang and put up a flag to recruit troops. ”He Wencheng said: "If you can break the city, you can also make the heaven and earth meet and make trouble again, so that Jiangnan will be on fire everywhere and make the momentum bigger." ”Li Chengdong waved his hand and said with a look of disbelief: "Wait a minute, General Zhao, the city wall of Nanjing, can you blow it up?"
