Chapter 251 Break out of the siege

Yan Qingshan, standing on the bow of the boat, was also anxious. He knew the importance of the Jiangyin army to his son-in-law. These were all composed of grassroots officers, and it can be said that they were Zhu Hongsan's family. If they were all thrown in Jiangyin this time, they would not know what punishment they would be punished when they returned to Guangdong.

Yan Qingshan knew very well about his cheap son-in-law, and he was ruthless and cruel. If he hadn't been of some use to him, he would have disappeared while returning to Guangdong. In Zhu Hongsan's eyes, his daughter might not be as important as Qian Yong, Qiu Ba.

Yan Qingshan is not the kind of naughty young man like Zhao Guodong. Yan Qingshan had known that there was Zhu Hongsan's spy on the ship, and maybe his first mate was. Thinking of this, Yan Qingshan looked at the first mate who was in the steward, and this old brother who had been with him for more than ten years. Since he arrived in Guangdong, the King of Chu has been using his old subordinates, money, women, and official positions. Not to mention them, even his old world is a little moved when he sees these benefits.

Yan Qingshan sighed secretly. If he said that everyone would be pirates again, someone would probably cut off his head and hand it over to the King of Chu to make contributions. Yan Qingshan thought about his daughter, and thought that he was almost fifty, and he really had no ambition to roam all over the world.

Yan Qingshan became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and cursed: "You guys, don't you hurry up and drive the boat. If those land ducks are dead, let's see how the King of Chu dealt with you."

"Boss Yan, the water is unknown, and it's dark, so I can't get up!"

"I don't care. I have to arrive in Jiangyin at dawn. Everyone can't soak in the water for two hours."

Hearing Yan Qingshan's order to die, the sailors had no choice but to open their sails and speed up on the dark Yangtze River.

Under the urging of Boss Yan, four sea boats finally arrived at Jiangyin Wharf at dawn.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and you could see the entire Jiangyin City shrouded in flames from afar. Yan Qingshan knew that the city had been broken, but he didn't know if Qian Yong and the others could hold on.

When the warship approached the dock, Yan Qingshan saw the whole city full of fire and shouting and killing everywhere. The Qing army brigade entered the city and began to massacre the city.

"Boss, look at the north gate, it seems that the army is still resisting!"

Hearing the first mate's shout, Yan Qingshan looked closely and saw through the smoke of gunpowder that there were still shouts of killing at the north gate. The army in red and blue uniforms in the crowd was very conspicuous.

It would be good that the light was not dead. Yan Qingshan was overjoyed and shouted: "Firepower support, at the breakout of the North Gate! Bang me hard!"

The sailors under the deck also knew that the situation was urgent now, and they didn't care about the type of bullet. They caught one and put it in the cannon barrel and fired it. A few guys actually fired the chain bombs. However, this guy was so useful for dense formations. There was a team of 100 Qing troops under the city wall to enter the city. At this time, the chain bombs came over, and one hundred people were all left with only half of their bodies.

Yan Qingshan on the boat cursed when he saw it: "Who used the shrapnel, who fucked the chain?" After hearing the order, the sailor began to use shrapnel to harvest the lives of the Qing army.

After Kong Youde, behind the Qing army, heard the low naval cannon sound for the first time, he knew that the Ming army's sea boat was back. Now it was an important stage for siege, and they must not be allowed to make trouble at this time. The Qing army cannons were outside the north gate, and at this time they were just enough to teach these bold Ming army navy lessons.

"Tell me the order, order the gunner to turn the guns and bombard those big ships!" After receiving the order, the Qing army gunners began to turn the guns and aimed at the Ming army's naval ship.

At this time, Yan Qingshan was all focused on the Qing army outside the city, where he could notice the Qing army artillery in the distance. When he heard the sound of Qing army artillery, it was too late. Two of his four large ships were hit by the Qing army artillery fire. Although there was no big loss, this place was attacked by enemy artillery for the first time.

Yan Qingshan was not only furious when he saw his No. 3 and 4 ship being shot by the Qing army. This time, this was the first time he was attacked in the north. He used to be suppressing the Qing army to attack.

"Order No. 1 and No. 2 to suppress the Qing army's artillery fire! Blast all these Tartars to my grandma's house!"

The Qing army's artillery fired very slowly, and it took only one shot in fifteen minutes, and the Minghai cannon could fire one shot per minute. While the Qing army's gunners were loading, the Minghai's revenge artillery fire arrived, and the entire Qing army's artillery position immediately became a sea of ​​fire. The poor King Kong Kong Youde did not escape, and was restored to human body parts by the artillery.

Qian Yong in the city was excited when he heard the reinforcements coming. He immediately called Han Shirong.

"Han Shirong, you blow up all the artillery, then concentrate your men and prepare to evacuate!"

"What? Commander, they all exploded?"

"Nonsense, how can I get on the ship with a cannon at this time? Execute the order!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Qian Yong remembered that there was an artillery company on the east gate. The situation at the east gate is unclear now, and I don’t know how they are. Qian Yong called his guard squad leader, "Take a few people to the east gate, let the artillery company retreat to the north gate wharf, and blow up all the artillery. Don’t leave it to the Qing army, do you know?"

"Make sure to complete the task!" The guard squad leader led five people, each of whom took five grenades and rushed to the east gate.

At this time, the breakout was completely lost. More than 10,000 Zhao Tongxun's more than 10,000 people were either chopped and killed on the spot or fled. When Qian Yong saw that the situation was hopeless, he ordered more than 2,000 of his subordinates to assault at the north gate.

Now most of the Qing army has entered the city and is starting to burn and kill, and no one cares about the place where Qian Yong and his team go.

Qian Yong led his team to retreat along the city wall to the north gate. When he saw the north gate open, the young and strong guarding the city had already no idea where to escape. There was no Qing army outside the city gate. At this time, they were robbing silver and women in the city.

Qian Yong and his men quietly left the north gate and came to the wharf outside the city.

Yan Qingshan was still commanding artillery to bombard the Qing army in the city. At this time, he saw Qian Yong bringing a group of people to the side of the ship. He quickly let someone put down the springboard and picked up Qian Yong and his group on the ship.

Qian Yong brought 3,500 people, but now there are less than 2,500 people who are still alive. The others are either killed in battle or missing in the city.

Yan Qingshan saw Qian Yong on board the boat, covered in smoke and blood on his face. He asked, "General Qian, how about it?"

Qian Yong felt relaxed when he saw Yan Qingshan and cried loudly. "More than a thousand people died in my brother. Why did your navy just come back? Where have you been?"

Seeing Qian Yong and the Army's miserable appearance, the navy's sailors did not say anything for the first time. Yan Qingshan sighed and said, "General Qian, we have tried our best."
