After three days of preparation, the Qing army loaded 7,000 kilograms of gunpowder into the tunnel underground of Taiping Gate. After all the Ming army's attention in the city was attracted by Jubao Gate and Zhengyang Gate, they ignited the fire and blew the city wall.

The Qing army successfully attacked this time. Seven thousand kilograms of gunpowder blew down the city wall next to Taiping Gate for more than 20 meters. Duoduo, who was ambushed a mile away in the mountains, saw that the task was completed, and said to all the generals around him: "Everyone, the city will be broken tonight! I will follow me into the city later. After entering the city, I will massacre the city for ten days, and kill all the unshaved men!"

All the generals were defeated in Nanjing for half a year and had already been full of resentment. After hearing Duoduo say this, they shouted: "Kill all the barbarians of the Han Dynasty! Ten kings are thousands of years old!"

"Okay, Luke Dehun, you lead three thousand two white flag soldiers as the vanguard! Batu, you lead five thousand Mongolian Eight Banners as the back team to support Luke Dehun, and all the other generals enter the city with me!"

When Duoduo's order was issued, Luke Dehun, as the deputy general, was the first to rush into Nanjing City with the main force of 3,000 white flags. At this time, the Ming army on the city wall was shocked by the impact of gunpowder, and the number of people was smaller than that of the Qing army. Soon, more than 1,000 Ming army was killed in this section of the city wall. Luke Dehun easily established a stronghold in the city, and the reinforcements followed rushed into Nanjing City like a tide.

Maxi's command was not too far from the breakout. The shock just now collapsed several houses in the Censorate. Maxi came out of the rubble and grabbed a soldier and shouted, "Go quickly, go and see what's going on?"

Without the soldier checking, the news soon came. The city wall 300 meters away from Maxi Command was blown up to collapse more than 20 meters, and the Qing army brigade had already attacked the city.

Ma Xi was shocked when she heard the news. After a while, Ma Xi did not organize effective resistance, but instead brought more than 20 personal soldiers and turned around and fled to the north city.

The commander's escape made the Ming army chaotic. At this time, the deputy general of Dongcheng, Xie Guangkun, was commanding the artillery in Longguangshan. Ma Xi's escape made the Ming army immediately fall into a state of headlessness. An Zhenxi, the general of Taiping Gate, saw that the situation was not good, and originally wanted to learn from Ma Xi to escape, but An Zhenxi thought of Ma Cheng's great kindness to his brothers. Originally, An Zhenxi was just a local soldier in Guizhou. If it weren't for Ma Cheng's appreciation and promotion, how could their brothers reach the high position of the general?

Thinking of this, An Zhenxi gritted his teeth, picked up the weapons, and killed a fleeing Ming army, then stood on a high place and shouted: "Everyone is not allowed to retreat, this is the end of running away! Now, following my orders, I will follow me to kill the enemy!"

Although Anzhenxi stood up to organize resistance, his position was too low, with less than 300 people following him out of the Censorate's Office, and most of the other soldiers fled to the North City.

As soon as An Zhenxi took these 300 people out of the Censorate's Office, he saw a group of Qing soldiers wearing white clothes rushing over the corner of the street not far away. Both gangs had already discovered each other and immediately rushed to fight together.

There are less than one hundred people led by Anzhenxi, which are the new army, and most of the others are the guards. If these people meet the Han flag of the Qing army, they can still fight, but if they meet the two main white flags of the main force, they will not be opponents at all.

In less than ten minutes, three hundred people in the west of Anzhen were killed and injured. Anzhennan was injured in six swords. Seeing this situation, Anzhennan knew that it would not work. He pulled a hundred households and shouted: "Go and give it to the military gate."

People send me messages! I also told my brother that he would avenge me!"

When Anzhenxi was fighting to the death, Ma Cheng had already arrived at the Yingtian Prefecture Yamen. The situation is unclear now. The Qing army in Nancheng was still siegeing the city. Ma Cheng did not dare to randomly draw the defenders of Nancheng to support Dongcheng. He had no choice but to use his reserve team, the Five Thousand Shenji Camp.

Ma Cheng's Shenji Battalion is definitely the most elite. Although this army has only 5,000 people, it is all equipped with muskets and 100 latest artillery pieces, and its combat power is the strongest among the Ming army.

Because the Qing Dynasty attacked the city, the Shenji Camp was already ready under the leadership of two guerrilla Gu Changwei and Xu Dahu, and was waiting for dangerous situations to come to support the city wall. Ma Cheng rushed to Cheng'en Temple where the Shenji Camp was stationed and shouted to Gu Changwei and Xu Dahu: "You two, take all your subordinates and follow me to the East City!"

Gu Changwei was originally Chang Sui of Ma Cheng and was very close to Ma Cheng. At this time, he quickly came up and asked: "Mr. Military Gate, there was a fire and a vibration in the east city just now. Is the city broken?"

"I know, fuckingly, I'm going to take you guys now to see what's going on!"

When Gu Changwei heard Ma Cheng say this, he dared not neglect it. He quickly restrained his subordinates' rectification team and rushed to Dongcheng under the leadership of Ma Cheng.

As soon as Ma Cheng and his men arrived at the street outside Xi'an Gate, they saw a group of people in front of them running in panic. When they walked in, they saw that it was the Ming army guarding the city. Ma Cheng couldn't control the defeated soldiers, so he grabbed a soldier covered in blood and asked, "What happened to Dongcheng?"

The soldier said in a daze: "The city is broken, and the Beilu enters the city. They kill everyone they see, which scares me to death!"

"Bilu entered the city? How did they come in? Where is Maxi?"

Ma Cheng repeatedly asked about the situation, but the soldier was already silly and turned his mouth over and turned around for those few words. Seeing that Ma Cheng could not find any useful information, he had to let the guy go.

Ma Cheng rode on his horse and shouted to the soldiers of the Shenji Camp behind him: "Please note that Beilu has entered the city now. If you see someone who is not us or a guy with braids, you will kill all of them if you don't leave!"

After Ma Cheng said that, he led his soldiers to Taiping Gate along Xi'anmen Street. When Xi'anmen Street goes to Taiping Gate, he has to pass Xihuangchenggen North Street, which is close to the imperial city. Now the fires in the east city are clamoring for killing. All the Jinyiwei guards guarding the imperial city are awakened and they stand at the top of the city to see what is wrong with the Taiping Gate direction.

When Ma Cheng passed by Xi'an Gate, a guard Qianhu in the city shouted: "Brothers below, what's going on in the city?"

The soldiers from Shenji Camp shouted: "Beilu has entered the city, and the military lord takes us to fight!"

The Northern Barbarians entered the city, which was a big news. The Qianhu quickly passed the news to the emperor Zhu Lunkui. After the emperor learned about this, he sighed. It seemed that he had not accomplished the emperor for even a year and would become a prisoner of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Ma Hongning also learned the news and rushed from Cining Palace to Qianqing Palace. The sad-looking emperor Zhu Lunkui saw this mother in his name and cried: "Empress Dowager, the city is broken! I am going to be a prisoner!"

Although the Empress Dowager Ma Hongning looks soft on the outside, he is very strong on the inside. He heard Zhu Lunkui say this and said angrily: "Emperor, you are the king of a country! You must set an example at this time. Now the Marquis of Guiyang has led his troops to wipe out the enemy.

The situation in Beilu who entered the city is not certain. Even if the Marquis of Guiyang is defeated, you must learn from Emperor Sizong to sacrifice his country!"

Sizong was Zhu Youjian. Ma Hongning's intention was to let Zhu Lunkui learn from Zhu Youjian and hang himself for his country, but no one wanted to die, and Zhu Lunkui didn't want to, but what else could he say at this time?

The empress dowager and the emperor in the palace were prepared for something bad and committed suicide. At this time, Ma Cheng had already brought his troops to the right guard of the government army. This was the military camp in the city. At the same time, because it was close to the imperial city, there were not many houses. Here Ma Cheng met the hundred households sent by Anzhenxi.

The Baihu was very happy to see the reinforcements coming, and ran to Ma Cheng and shouted: "Mr. Junmen, Junmen! The last general is the Taiping Gate General, and the Baihu is under the tent. Lord An sent the Mo future to ask for reinforcements!"

Finally, he met a sober man, Ma Cheng was very happy and quickly got off the horse and grabbed the hundred households and asked, "What's going on?"

"Mr. Military Gate, the city wall next to Taiping Gate was blown up by Beilu for more than 20 feet. Now a large number of elite soldiers of Beilu have entered the city. Lord An is leading people to resist!"

Although Anzhenxi is a general, there are some generals in Dongcheng who are more advanced than him. The highest general is Ma Xi, the deputy general is Xie Guangkun, and there are five or six generals on the level of Anzhenxi, so it is not the turn of Anzhenxi to command it.

"Why is the commander of Anzhenxi? Where is Ma Cheng? Where is Xie Guangkun?"

Hearing Ma Cheng say this, the hundred households cried: "Mr. Junmen, Ma Zong Town took people away when the city was broken. Deputy Xie was leading people in Longguang Mountain at that time, but now he doesn't know how to live or die!"

Ma Cheng ran away without fighting. No wonder there were so many defeated soldiers who ran back from Taiping Gate just now. It turned out that they were all the leaders of Ma Xi. Siege warfare is similar to landing warfare. The most important thing is when the city is broken. If the defenders can react at this time, relying on their absolute manpower advantage, it is easy to block the attacking side from the breaking point.

Although the 10,000 new troops on the Dongcheng side were transferred by Ma Cheng, there were 5,000 new troops and 20,000 guard troops. In addition to these, there were 20,000 young and strong civilians. If Ma Xi could handle it properly as soon as possible, it would not have caused the current consequences at all.

Ma Cheng cursed Ma Xi in anger, but what can he do at this time? The Qing army was right in front, and Ma Cheng could not settle the score with Ma Xi. There was no way Ma Cheng had to throw Ma Xi aside, order the Shenji Battalion to launch a battle formation, and always prepare to fight an encounter with the Qing army.

There are all military camps here in Dongcheng, and the terrain is very open. Ma Cheng asked each small flag of Shenji Camp to form a group and each hundred households as a team, carefully advancing along the inner street of Taipingmen.

When he walked five hundred meters away from the Censorate's Office, Shenji Camp finally encountered the Qing army. This group of Qing soldiers was not large, about a hundred people, and was led by Niu Lu to kill and set fire.

Ma Cheng's Shenjijian was very nutritious and had no restrictions on night blindness at all. He saw this group of Qing army a hundred meters away. The leading households shouted: "Aim and fire!"
