As a head coach, Hong Chengchou has clearly felt that the defense of Suzhou City is not as tough as it was at the beginning.

More and more soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder. Behind these Qing soldiers was a supervising team composed of Hong Chengchou's direct line. Whoever dared to retreat and slashed to death was even more cruel than Suzhou soldiers killing people.

These soldiers from Jinling cursed Hong Chengchou's ancestors for the eighteen generations, while gritting their teeth and climbing up the city along the ladder.

Suddenly, the Qing soldiers below burst into cheers, and as they kept hitting each other, the city gate was finally knocked open.

The Qing soldiers were extremely excited. They finally set out a road to the ground in hell. Countless Qing soldiers rushed into the urn city howled.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the light from the torch shone on Hong Chengchou's tall and thin cheekbones. Since the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou has become thinner and thinner, and his former strong and burly figure has become hunched over and bent.

"The whole army attacks and invades Suzhou! The army shall not kill the people or invade the local area, but shall only use the evil Marquis Xuanyan."

With the order of Hong Chengchou, the commander ordered the soldiers to sprint in front of the left and right army formations. All the Qing soldiers were ready to take down Suzhou City, which had taken countless lives.

Hou Xuanyan on the city tower looked at all this, his face cold and silent. When most of the Qing soldiers waded through the moat, he raised his hand gently to signal Xu Yuanbao beside him.

"Order the fire."

Two hundred artillery fired volleys, and shells poured into the dense Qing army formation like money. The small mushrooms were blown into the sky, and the Qing army was blown into the sky. Before they died, they didn't understand what was going on.

More people were penetrated by the blown gravel, and the rumbling sound made all the bloody orifices bleed. Panic began to spread among the Qing soldiers. They had been in the rich and beautiful place of Jinling for a long time, and had seen such a formation. If Wu Sangui's men were in such a bombardment, they might be able to organize retreat or resistance. The Guanning Army has been in the bitter and cold place outside the border for many years, and has been used to hearing the sound of cannons and seeing life and death. These Jinling soldiers, Duoduo, led the Eight Banners soldiers to the south. They chose to surrender without fighting in a battle. They asked them to massacre the city and aimed their swords at their compatriots and people. They were all good killers, but now they have become defeated soldiers and fled in all directions.

There were countless bodies drowned in the moat. Qing soldiers stepped on their companions' bodies and fled far away from Suzhou.

Hong Chengchou's shoulders collapsed and his whole body was drained. He suddenly remembered that he met Wu Zhikui by the Taihu Lake that day. A terrible idea came to his mind. Could it be that Hou Xuanyan had really made it to this day that he asked Wu Zhikui to surrender, and then fought for three days without artillery, just for this moment?

Of course, Wu Zhikui didn't know that because of his words, he had already been on Hong Chengchou's list of killings. He surrendered sincerely. If he knew Hong Chengchou's thoughts, he would have called Tianqu on the spot.

The personal soldiers beside Hong Chengchou shouted loudly: "Sir, retreat!"

Although Hong Chengchou's ears were buzzing by the cannons and he couldn't hear what his personal soldiers were saying, he knew that he was to retreat according to his mouth shape.

He stayed with the green mountains and was not afraid of burning firewood. He did not use his loyalty to appreciate him and value him in Songshan. Of course, he would not be executed for the sake of the Qing master.

The Qing soldiers who rushed into the city had no way to the sky and no way to the ground. As soon as the inner city opened, they saw the Suzhou soldiers who were ready to wait for a long time, and threw down their weapons and chose to surrender.

Yan Yingyuan shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"

These Qing soldiers rushed to the side and squeezed out a way, and the soldiers and horses in Suzhou City rushed out.

Wu Yi, who was dormant in Taihu Lake, also jumped when he heard the sound of cannons. Although he had known that Suzhou City would launch a shelling Qing soldiers today, he still didn't expect that Hou Xuan's movement would be so loud.

"Brothers, the commander-in-chief took action. Let me cover up the Qing dog. It is today to regain Jinling and restore half of the rivers and mountains!"

More than 10,000 rebels emerged from the reeds of Taihu Lake. They dressed in mysterious clothes and armor, pulled out their swords in the night, and followed Wu Yi to harvest the Qing soldiers who escaped from Suzhou.

The rebel army in Taihu Lake is not weak in combat, and they are familiar with the nearby terrain and have no obstacles in fighting at night. It is easy for them to use the night to cover up the defeated soldiers.

Hong Chengchou fled and gathered the remaining soldiers and carried out sporadic resistance. They didn't even dare to enter a small town like Wuxi and Changshu. All the Qing soldiers and Hong Chengchou had the same idea. Only when they fled back to Jinling could they have the chance to turn defeat into victory. Jinling had the Eight Banners soldiers of Luke Dehun and the thick walls of high cities, which could not be captured by these Suzhou soldiers.

Hou Xuan was not good at playing horse skills and followed the army with difficulty. Yan Yingyuan's men and horses had long disappeared.

Zhang Mingzhen, who is also not good at riding, was full of laughter and said immediately: "Congratulations to the Commander General, since the Jiashen National Incident, the Ming army has been unable to win, and the whole country is embarrassed to face each other. Today's battle is enough to make us famous all over the world. Everyone knows that the Commander General is the Ming Dynasty's white jade pillar to build the sea purple gold beam."

Hou Xuanyan's face was solemn, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "The ice is not cold for a day. The Ming Dynasty has many ills and is difficult to return. It is not a pleasure to win today. What's more, we are fighting today, all the surrendered soldiers near Jinling. We have never encountered hard bones like the Man Eight Banners, Wu Sangui, and Kong Youde. We have divided the anti-Qing 100 steps. We have only taken one step now. We must not be arrogant or complacent."

Zhang Mingzhen's face turned solemn, and he immediately bowed: "What the Commander-in-chief said is very true, I am too lazy."

At this time, a noise came from the front, and the entire team was stunned. Hou Xuanyan said angrily: "The Qing soldiers fled and did not seize the time to pursue them, why are they delaying here?"

Qin He pulled the reins beside him and said, "Go and have a look." After that, he immediately stepped forward and turned back to Hou Xuanyan in a short while.

"The general manager, there were many people in front of him who heard the sound of cannons and were frightened by the Qing dog soldiers and wanted to escape. They all shaved their money and rat tails. Lord Zhang's soldiers were killed when they saw it, and they had a conflict with the Suzhou soldiers."

Hou Xuanyan understood as soon as he heard that at this time, some places had Ming soldiers killed those who were shaved when they saw them. The people who stayed in the occupied areas would be beheaded by the Qing soldiers without shaving their hair. This is a small town around Suzhou Prefecture, and there must be many relatives of Suzhou soldiers here. Zhang Mingzhen's people wanted to kill them, but Suzhou soldiers would definitely not want to.
