Although no troops were stationed outside the city, the Later Jin Army set up many defensive obstacles such as horse traps, pits, and iron nails in the area outside the south gate of Zhenjiang.

There was no problem in resisting the horse and getting into the pit, but these iron nails were scattered under the soft snow, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye. Just as they approached the moat, five or six of Judechuan and the others had already been stabbed.

Even Judechuan's hand had a bloody cut.

The pain was secondary, but the blood couldn't stop gushing out. In such a terrain, the bright red blood could easily be noticed by the Houjin defenders above their heads.

Fortunately, it was a north wind, so the smell of blood could not be carried to the top of the city for a while.

The head of the city was right in front of him, and Judechuan didn't have time to think too much. He wiped the blood on his hand on his thigh and whispered: "Young men, come one by one. Be careful of nails. Don't panic. Even if you get pricked,

Don't make a sound either."

Xing Ergou took the lead and quickly responded in a low voice: "Master Qiu, don't worry, even if your head falls off, you guys will never say anything."

Soon, the group of people approached the city gate under the eyes of the Jin army on the top of the city.

There were more nails under the city gate, but the explosive packets were all ready-made. The men also had good memories. They slowly cleared a path with their hands, piled the explosive packets under the city gate one by one, and carefully led out the leads.

In this kind of weather, the lead wire work cannot be careless.

If it is thin, it will be easily extinguished by the wind and snow; if it is thick, it will be easily noticed by the Houjin defenders on the city.

Fortunately, Judechuan and the others were prepared in advance. The lead wires were wrapped in white cloth, almost as thick as a thumb, and led all the way to the east side of the city.

In such weather, if you don't stare straight at it, even with a telescope, it will be difficult to detect it.

The men on the other side of the city gate signaled that everything was ready. Judechuan personally checked the lead wires again, then waved his hand and ordered all the men to retreat to the east side.

At this time, there is about a quarter of an hour before Yin Shi.

A quarter of an hour now is equivalent to half an hour in future generations.

But Judechuan and the others had already had experience. They huddled together and hugged each other tightly, relying on each other's body temperature to stay warm, waiting for the signal from the main force in the south.

…………

At this time, the two main forces of the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's Department have been mobilized, and hundreds of soldiers from Mao Wenlong's Department, as well as Zhang Pan's 2,000 guard soldiers, are also ready.

Taking advantage of the visibility obscured by the wind and snow, Li Yuanqing simply showed his courage and let the entire army move forward.

In the haze, a large area of ​​darkness, with more than ten thousand Ming army formations, quietly approached the direction of Zhenjiang City.

Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing were in the middle army. Like the men, they were also approaching quickly on foot.

However, the closer he got to Zhenjiang City, the more uneasy Mao Wenlong felt. In such cold weather, cold sweat actually broke out on his forehead.

Li Yuanqing certainly felt Mao Wenlong's nervousness.

As the saying goes, 'Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.'

Although Mao Wenlong is a hero, he has a natural disadvantage. He has too little experience in winning against the Hou Jin Army. He is far from the sons of the Changsheng Camp who have established a psychological advantage over the Hou Jin Army.

Especially such a risky move at this time.

As a coach, Mao Wenlong has been able to survive until now, which is already commendable.

The most important thing was that he also knew very well that he directly handed over the command of this battle to Li Yuanqing.

Although his headquarters is not large in number, only a few hundred people, this makes Li Yuanqing feel more reassured and at ease, and he can effectively twist the forces of various departments into one rope.

Soon, the Ming army had approached a distance of 400 steps and could vaguely see the walls of Zhenjiang City.

If they approach any further, the main force of the Ming army will be exposed to the sight of the Hou Jin army.

"Yuanqing, how long until Yinshi?" Even Mao Wenlong couldn't help but ask Li Yuanqing the time.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Commander, it should be soon. I can't wait any longer."

Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded, "Yuan Qing, I really can't compare to your spirit."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Commander, this time, I am a little anxious. It depends on you, Commander, to stabilize the position. This time, we must strike with one blow!"

Mao Wenlong nodded solemnly, "Yes. Before dawn, the situation in the city must be controlled!"

There was silence for about seven or eight minutes. At this time, Xu Heizi quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Commander, General, it's time."

Li Yuanqing nodded, with an unspeakably ferocious expression on his face, "Send the signal!"

"yes!"

The soldiers took out the flint, and a dozen people gathered together to form a wall to block the wind and lit the fire.

In a moment, "swish, swish, swish", three firecrackers shot into the sky, suddenly bursting into the night sky, exploding sixty or seventy meters in the air, blooming into a brilliant fireworks.

The main battle formation sent a signal, how could Judechuan dare to neglect it? He quickly called the men to light the fuse.

Not long after, there was a continuous loud roar, as if the whole world was about to burst apart. In the direction of the south gate of Zhenjiang City, fire was splashing, the huge city gate was blown away, and the city wall was probably going to be blown apart.

Already.

Why is Li Yuanqing still hesitating? He waved his hand and said, "Come on! Take Zhenjiang City!"

The order was quickly passed to the front line, and the Ming army soldiers rushed towards Zhenjiang City like a raging red tide.

…………

"What's going on? What happened?"

In the official hall of Zhenjiang City, Dai Shan was awakened by a loud noise in his sleep. He quickly pushed away the soft and hot body next to him, sat up, arranged his pajamas, and strode out of the door.

Several servants who were guarding outside the door were also frightened and woke up. One of them hurriedly said: "Master, servant, I don't know. The sound came from the south gate."

"What?" Daishan couldn't help being shocked.

The south gate is the direction of the Ming army. Doesn't this mean...

How could Daishan dare to neglect him? He quickly called to the servants around him, "You, go and get my clothes! Come on, let's go take a look!"

"yes!"

The slaves immediately became confused.

As soon as Daishan walked out of the front yard of the official hall, the disheveled Amin also chased after him, "Second brother, what happened?"

Daishan's face turned livid, "I'm afraid it's Li Yuanqing, a bastard, who has attacked the city! Let's go to the south gate quickly!"

"Eh? Well!" The matter was urgent, and Amin did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly called his followers and followed Daishan hurriedly.

However, the group of people had barely walked a hundred steps and had just left the entrance of the official hall when they heard fierce shouts of death coming from the direction of the south gate.

When the two met each other, their expressions changed drastically.

After a moment, more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed over in front. When they saw Daishan and Amin, they hurriedly got off their horses and said, "Two gentlemen, it's not good, it's not good! The Ming army has broken through the south gate and has already charged to kill them.

We’re in town!”

"What? You slave dog! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will twist off your head and use it as a chamber pot! How did they get in?"

Amin was furious, grabbed the slave's clothes and strangled his neck.

This slave was so choked by A Min that he was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

Daishan hurriedly knocked Amin's hand off, "Second brother, you fucking let him finish his words first!"

Only then did Amin react and quickly pushed the slave away, "Speak quickly! What happened?"

It took the slave a long time to regain his breath, and said with a cry: "Two gentlemen, just now, the Ming army blew open the south gate, and the main force arrived. Their cannons are sharp, and their spears are also sharp. The warriors of the south gate

We can’t stop them anymore!”

Amin looked at Daishan hurriedly, "Lao Er, this..."

Daishan was also a little panicked. He never expected that Li Yuanqing would launch an offensive and break into the city gate just one day after arriving in Zhenjiang City.

This~~, this is going to stab him in the heart!

According to common practice, once the city gate is breached, it will be difficult to defend the city.

But how important is the location of Zhenjiang City? In addition, there are nearly 20,000 Houjin elite warriors in the city, how can Daishan give up?

After a moment, he had already made up his mind, "Li Yuanqing, this bastard is so brave! Brother, let's go! You go and gather the elite of your headquarters, Mangler, you go and gather the warriors who are holding the red flag! I just want to

I’ll give you half an hour! Let’s go and take back the south gate! Anyone who dares to neglect even half a step will be beheaded immediately!”

"Cha!" The servants around him didn't dare to neglect, and they instantly became a mess.

…………

At this time, under the turbulent impact of the Ming army, the men of the Changsheng Battalion had completely controlled the situation at the south gate. Subsequently, a steady stream of the main force of the Ming army swarmed into the city.

Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong have arrived at the top of the city to take command.

Once again firmly setting foot on the land of Zhenjiang City, Mao Wenlong almost burst into tears.

But Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect at all. Although he controlled the city gate, he was still far from occupying the city.

"Quick, quick! Come up with the pike soldiers, cover the cannon soldiers and rush to the top of the city. Set up the fire net on the roof first!"
