The people around Nanjing rushed to help the war and helped the Liang army attack the Left Army.

This was a murderous death, which made Zuo Liangyu realize that he had completely lost.

Although he didn't care much about the people, he still suffered a heavy blow when he saw more than 100,000 people gathered under the city of Nanjing.

People's hearts are in favor of each other, Zuo Liangyu realizes that Jiangnan does not welcome him and that Nanjing cannot stick to it.

Now there is only one left, why did Zuo Jun lose Nanjing?

So many people flock to Nanjing also made many gentry in Jiangnan feel frightened and realized that they are gradually losing their influence and control over the people in Jiangnan.

Why did the Ming Dynasty dare not do anything to them and to collect their taxes because they respected the people.

The court wanted to collect commercial taxes, and the gentry and wealthy gentry fanned the people to cause trouble, which made the court unable to deal with it.

Now seeing the people supporting Liang Jun so much, many gentry felt a little bad premonition in their hearts.

At this time, the soldiers of the Zuo Army in Nanjing learned that Zuo Liangyu had moved to the ship, and his already sluggish morale collapsed directly.

The soldiers in the city were unrestrained and committed evil in Nanjing. Of course, there were also soldiers of the Left Army. In order to avoid being liquidated, they began to protect the people in the city, so that after the city was destroyed, the neighbors could say a good thing.

Outside the city, the Liang army camp.

The siege equipment that originally took half a month to create was built in just five days with the help of the people.

At this time, in the camp, many Liang army generals gathered to discuss how to attack the city.

Gao Huan stood in front of the sand table, observed for a moment, then picked up the wooden pole and said, "According to the response in the city, the news sent by the city was less than 30,000 left troops in the city, and the morale was dispersed and the morale was sluggish. Now Zuo Liangyu has run to the Zheng army's ship, and the left troops in Nanjing city all feel that the end of the day is coming. Many of these thieves have a deep sin and know that the city cannot be spared after it is broken, so they act recklessly in the city and kill the people."

Gao Huan glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "In order to reduce the losses of the people in the city and save the people in the city as soon as possible, I decided to launch a general attack tonight!"

Li Pingyuan said angrily: "Master! Just order it!"

"King! Give the order!" The generals roared and their fighting spirit was rising.

The people in Jiangnan sent pigs and sheep, but they could not let down the love of the people.

At this time, Gao Huan pointed to the sand pan and said, "Okay! Li Pingyuan, you lead 10,000 people to attack Dinghuai Gate! Wu Ruyi, you lead 10,000 people to seize the stone city gate! Liu Qi, you lead 10,000 people to capture the Sanshan Gate!"

"I will accept the order!" The three of them clasped their fists solemnly.

Gao Huan then looked at Xu Heihu and Hao Yaoqi, and said in a deep voice: "You two lead two battalions of cavalry, ambushing outside the south city and the east city respectively, covering the left soldiers who were fighting out of the city!"

Xu Heihu and Hao Yaoqi clasped their fists together, "As for order!"

"Zuo Liangyu has fled to the Zheng family's warship, and the Nanjing defenders have no fighting spirit! This attack must be done in one go and capture Nanjing City!" Gao Huan shouted loudly.

The generals in the tent saluted each other, killing each other.

Finally, Gao Huan looked at Liu Hui again and said, "Did you choose the soldiers who know the water?"

"Report to the king, you have selected it, and the boat is also filled with firewood and tinder oil!" Liu Hui replied.

"Okay!" Gao Huan nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "The Zheng family's warship is large and not as flexible as the small boat in the river. In addition, we are in the upstream, and the ship is able to approach the enemy ship and launch a fire attack with the water flow and night cover! In this battle, even if the Zheng family navy cannot be eliminated, they will still force them out of the Yangtze River."

"I accept the order!" Liu Hui clasped his fists loudly, looking excited.

...

It was the third day of the night.

On the Yangtze River outside Fengyi Gate to the north of Nanjing, Zuo Liangyu was lying in the Zheng family’s three-masted giant ship.

Once a person loses his fighting spirit and becomes desperate, he will leave quite quickly once he is seriously ill.

Many great figures in history died of illness shortly after a big defeat.

Although Zuo Liangyu is not a big shot, she is even more unreliable than Yuan Shao. In just a few days, it is time to die.

At this time, in the cabin, Zuo Liangyu coughed for a while and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. Xu Yong and others rushed forward to stroke his back, but Zuo Liangyu refused.

"Let me listen!" Zuo Liangyuqiang cheered up and spoke with difficulty, "After this king dies, you should try to return to Huguang and assist Meng Geng as King Wuchang!"

Xu Yong and others cried bitterly, "Don't worry! We will definitely assist the prince!"

"Cough cough~" Zuo Liangyu coughed a few times and continued to instruct: "After my death, Gao Huan, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, and even Ding Kuichu will covet the land of Huguang!"

Speaking of this, Zuo Liangyu stopped. He realized that after his death, Zuo Menggeng might not be able to survive.

This made Zuo Liangyu cry. After a while, he was about to continue to instruct, but there was a noise outside the cabin, "No! Fireboat!"

On the wide Yangtze River, Liang soldiers took advantage of the water to get down from the upstream on five hundred small boats.

The boats were lined up in five rows, each with one hundred ships, scattered on the river surface and rushed towards the Zheng army warships moored on the shore.

At this time, Zheng Hongkui saw the black shadow on the river and was shocked and hurriedly roared, "Fire the cannon! It's a fire ship!"

"Boom boom boom!" The cannon flames blew, making the river surface flash. With the huge cannon sound, the cannon shells hit the Liang army boat in the dark, splashing water columns, but failed to stop the Liang army boat from rushing up.

"Ignite!" When the ship approached the Zheng family navy, Liu Hui shouted urgently.

The Liang soldiers driving the boat immediately lit the firewood piled on the bow. The ship ignited a fire and rushed towards the Zheng family warship. The Liang soldiers on the boat jumped off the boat as they entered the range of the bird gunman and archers on the bow.

At this time, facing the 500 fire ships rushing towards him, the Zheng army navy caused a riot. However, the Zheng family navy was also a master of fire attack. Immediately, soldiers used long poles to hold up the burning fire ships.

However, Gao Huan put gunpowder and tincture oil on the fire ship. The fire quickly burned the wooden poles and hit the Zheng family warship.

The Zheng army had large ships and was unable to move. In addition, it was dark and the artillery could not exert its power, so it was easily besieged by the approaching fire ships.

When Zheng Hongkui saw a ship being ignited, he immediately shouted urgently, "Hurry! Turn! Evacuate!"

Zheng Jun sailors hurriedly raised their anchor and raised their sails, pushed the fireboat with wooden poles, and then evacuated towards Zhenjiang.

On the river, when the Liang army used fire ships to force the Zheng army to leave the navy, the Liang army also began to attack the city on land.

Outside the city, Liang's cannons fired together and smashed the Nanjing city wall. The civilians in the city screamed in surprise. They ignored the left soldiers who were not allowed to supervise and fled in all directions. All the left soldiers guarding the city shrank behind the city wall and did not dare to show their heads.

At this time, the Liang generals standing outside the gates immediately stood in front of the formation, raised their swords and shouted loudly: "Attack!"

"Kill!" Liang soldiers shouted like thunder in the mountains and seas. The soldiers surged like a tide, and they rushed towards Nanjing City.

Liang soldiers were holding equipment and shields, preparing to face the counterattack at the city wall, but only sporadic arrows and bird guns shot.

When the left army in the city saw the fire on the river, the Zheng family navy ran eastward, and had already lost all intention of fighting.

After a while, Liang Jun set up a flight bridge, crossed the moat, rushed all the way to the city, and then boarded a long ladder and rushed up quickly!

In less than half an hour, Liang army climbed to the top of the city, and shouts of "Liang army entered the city" came from all over Nanjing.

At this time, the city gate was opened by the inside, and the big Liang army was poured into the city, and Nanjing was quickly captured by the Liang army!
Chapter completed!
