Then he pulled out his waist knife, cut off Liu Meng's head with one blow, held it in his hand, and shouted loudly,

"Qinggou, all your generals have been killed by Lao Tzu. Are you still running away?"

Seeing that Liu Meng, who used to be so fierce in the past, was killed by the prince, the Qing soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were greatly weakened, and were soon expelled from the top of the city by the righteous people of Jiangyin.

In order to boost morale, Wang Gonglue hung Liu Meng's head high on the flagpole at the south gate.

The morale of the people in Jiangyin was greatly improved, but the morale of Liu Liangzuo's army was greatly reduced.

Liu Meng is the number one general under Liu Liangzuo's command. He has followed Liu Liangzuo for more than ten years.

No one would have thought that on the first day of the siege, Liu Meng, known as the overlord, would be decapitated by the people of Jiangyin!
Looking at Liu Meng's unrepentant head at the head of Jiangyin City, Liu Liangzuo also felt a wave of shock.

Liu Liangzuo comforted himself,

"The Ming army defenders in the south city are too powerful to take down in a short time. I don't believe that a small Jiangyin city can have a few strong generals? If the south city can't be defeated, I will attack the north gate guarded by Yan Yingyuan."

Liu Liangzuo moved to the north of Jiangyin and ordered thousands of elite soldiers to carry ladders to attack the north gate.

If Liu Liangzuo attacked the south gate, he just kicked Wang Gonglue's stone.When attacking the North City Gate, he kicked directly on the iron plate.

Yan Yingyuan's own martial strength is no less than that of Wang Gonglue, and he has a magic arrow with a hundred shots.

Facing the Qing soldiers attacking the city with ants attached, Yan Yingyuan stood on the top of the city gate and commanded calmly.

As long as he sees a fierce Qing general, he will immediately pick up the iron tire bow and throw an arrow over it.

During the one-day siege, Yan Yingyuan shot a total of 57 arrows, killing 57 soldiers under Liu Liangzuo's command.

It can be said that the example is not in vain.

At the end of the fight, those Qing soldiers who used to be brave enough to climb first all pretended to be sick, and did not climb up the ladder at all when attacking.

After finally climbing up the ladder, he stumbled and fell down after climbing two steps.

With such morale, of course Jiangyin North City cannot be broken.

Angrily, Liu Liangzuo beheaded more than a dozen thugs who were stealing, raping and playing tricks, but he still couldn't raise the fighting spirit of the soldiers. In the end, he could only move to the west gate to attack the west city guarded by Chen Mingyu.

It took Liu Liangzuo ten days to beat the gates of the four cities one by one, losing nearly 2 soldiers, but failed to break through any of the gates.

This veteran who likes to kill the good and take the merits desperately found that Jiangyin City is not only a few guards who are not afraid of death, but the fighting power of the people in Jiangyin is also several times stronger than that of the people in other places.

In desperation, Liu Liangzuo sent someone to send a letter to Duoduo, asking for reinforcements.

Seeing that Liu Liangzuo led an army of [-], but could not take down a small city of Jiangyin, Duo Duo laughed out of anger,

"This Huama Liu is such a waste! Leading an army of 10,000 to deal with [-]+ people, he has the nerve to ask the king for help!"

In order to humiliate Huama Liu, Duoduo sent a thousand and eight banner white armor soldiers, led by fierce generals Shi Guozhu and Tong Yangzhen, to Jiangyin.

After Shi Guozhu arrived in Jiangyin, he entered the camp of the Qing soldiers, pointed at Liu Liangzuo's nose and cursed,

"Liu, you are such a piece of trash! One hundred thousand troops can't take down a small Jiangyin city, so what's the use of my Qing Dynasty keeping you?"

Liu Liangzuo knelt on the ground and said in great panic,
"General Shi Shen, it's not that he is humble and incompetent, it's that the people of Jiangyin City are too brutal. I attacked for ten days, and nearly [-] soldiers were killed or injured. I really did my best."

The [-] army had nearly [-] casualties, and they were basically injured.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the army with this level of casualties is already on the verge of collapse.

Tong Yangzhen didn't believe Liu Liangzuo's words.

"Nearly [-] casualties, can't take this small town? Huama Liu, don't lie to us!"

Liu Liangzuo swore to the sky, and showed the two Mandarins the list of casualties of the soldiers.

Only then did Shi Guozhu and Tong Yangzhen believe Liu Liangzuo's words.

Liu Liangzuo said cautiously, "My lords, although Jiangyin is a small city, it should not be underestimated. There are capable people in this city, and the defense of the city is very well organized."

Shi Guozhu looked up at the majestic Jiangyin City, and sneered,
"A dilapidated ship, covered in iron, how many nails can it drive? Wait for my Eight Banners athletes to rest for a day, and tomorrow they will definitely smash the city in one fell swoop."

Both Shi Guozhu and Tong Yangzhen are veterans of the Eight Banners Army.

Not only is his force extremely high, but he also knows how to minimize the losses of the Eight Banners Army.

On the fifth day of July, just after dawn, the Qing soldiers began to attack the city on a large scale.

Liu Liangzuo divided the 2 troops into four divisions, each with [-] troops, each with [-] ladders, each responsible for attacking a city wall.

Jiangyin City ushered in the largest siege battle.

In the camp of the Qing soldiers, the marching drum was beating.

Qing soldiers carried the ladder and swarmed up like ants.

No matter which side of the city wall, almost all were crowded with Qing soldiers.

Because of the Eight Banners soldiers watching the battle from behind, these Green Battalion soldiers seemed to be more capable of fighting than before.

Soon some green battalion soldiers avoided the rolling wood and rocks at the top of the city, and climbed up the city wall regardless of their own safety.

The righteous people of Jiangyin took their time and drew their swords and guns, and once again fought with the Green Battalion soldiers.

Soon, a wave of green battalion soldiers was killed.

Before the righteous people of Jiangyin had time to catch their breath, another wave of freshmen from the green battalion came up.

The fighting started in the morning and continued until noon.The green battalion soldiers are still rushing up wave after wave.

Shi Guozhu stood outside the west city, his gaze was like an eagle, staring at the city head full of blood and flesh.

After watching for a long time, I said to Liu Liangzuo who was standing beside me,

"Hua Maliu, it seems that you are not lying. The people in this small city are indeed very powerful. If it is a one-on-one match, you regular army of Ming Dynasty may not be their opponents."

Flower Horse Liu smiled and patted Shi Guozhu's flattery,
"No matter how much these Jiangyin rioters can fight, they will definitely not be able to withstand the thunderous power of General Shi Can."

Shi Guozhu laughed out loud.

After laughing, he suddenly turned serious, staring at the low-ranking general of the Eight Banners Army behind him and said,

"Have you all seen it? The rioters in Jiangyin are very capable of fighting. But no matter how good they are, they are no match for our Eight Banners athletes.

Jiangyin has raised the rebel flag for more than a month, and it has not been breached yet, which made me lose face.

Prince Yu, who sits in Jinling Mansion, was very angry.

We came to Jiangyin to attack Jiangyin and slaughter all the people in the city.

What I need is not to conquer Jiangyin City in ten days, nor is it necessary to conquer Jiangyin City in five days.Instead, they broke through Jiangyin City in one day.

Just today, we are going to break through Jiangyin City!

Did you hear me? "

All the generals of the Eight Banners said in unison,
"Master General, don't worry! A strong city like Yanjing and Jinling can be destroyed in one day. Let alone this small city of Jiangyin!"

"it is good!"

Shi Guozhu said loudly, "Let the servants eat and drink enough, put on heavy armor, and rest well. At noon, we will attack the West City with all our strength. We will try to break it with one blow."
