In siege, the city gate is generally the top priority for the two sides to compete for, because once it is captured by the attacking side, the army can drive straight into the city...|2 In comparison, the city wall is much inferior. In order to protect the city gate, suspension bridge, city gate, and urn city, a series of defensive facilities such as the city gate came out, and Guangzhou was the same. However, as the city wall was bombarded by mortars, the breaking point became a "city gate" that caught the defenders off guard and had no gates.

That section of the city wall was fired in turn by several mortars. Although many shells either flew into the city or failed to reach the city wall, many shells were still hit hard on the city wall. When cracks appeared, the city wall was about to collapse. With the bombardment of this gun, with a harsh sound coming from the hit, the city wall rammed earth from the inside out and the city bricks were shattered.

The loose walls could not continue to bear their own weight. First, the broken bricks fell down and even collapsed due to gravity. The rammed earth that had been wrapped in the bricks before could not bear it. Next, just like an earthquake, the walls were originally flat and began to break. The collapsed area quickly swayed for a few times. Even during the sinking process, breaking and breaking were carried out at the same time.

In a blink of an eye, the city wall merged into a flying sand. Only the roar of the sky and the cracks of the earth and the blocks of soil that kept splashing out from the sand and dust, bricks, stones and some unknown pieces swept into the surrounding area, killing the guards who were standing in the city and turning their heads over and bleeding.

In front of him were the cold spears and muskets of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and behind it was the collapsed city wall. Shang Kexi, who was still struggling to support and performed better than the friendly forces on both wings, collapsed first in the loud noise and dust behind him. Just like the spread of infectious diseases, it spread to the two wings with the naked eye. In the moment of collapse, more than 20,000 defenders outside the city completely lost the courage to fight, headed to the left and right, and even hit the tip of the Ming army's gun in a panic.

The screams of fear were vaguely visible in the collapse of the sky and the cracks of the earth. While sputtering the defenders, they also crossed the battle formation and attacked the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The square formation of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was also touched.

Fortunately, because the Ming army in Ganzhou and Quanzhou Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province had seen the collapse of the city walls by bombardment by mortars, the General Staff Office had previously expected that the collapse of the city walls might have an impact on the offensive troops, and they put forward the simplest suggestion to solve this problem.

The next moment, the formation changed rapidly as the captains of each team shouted, and in a flash, it shrank into a column. The long-handed player in the front row held up his cards and half-squatted, while the soldiers behind him squatted behind him. It has been on Dalan Mountain that year. The vertical pressure-resistant training that has not been cancelled so far was originally established to resist the attacks of flying knives and javelins. It is no problem to face such scenes today.

The splattered stones and soil were hit on the long cards, the helmets and half-body armor, and the crackling sounds came, and the accompanying pain was inevitable, but it was not as beaten to death like Shang Jun.

After a while, the smoke and dust began to fade away and the scene gradually became quiet, especially when we noticed that a huge V-shaped gap had appeared at the collapse of the city wall. The buildings inside the city could even be vaguely seen from outside the city. The collapsed city wall even created an extended slope while flooding the moat, and the natural barrier turned into a smooth road.

After the sky collapsed and the earth broke, there was no time to rejoice after the disaster. The changes of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were made into a vertical formation, and a large number of defenders had been mixed in the air raids between the various teams. However, these defenders were already scared. When the Ming army had noticed them, they immediately knelt down and asked to surrender, fearing that they would be killed by the Ming army in one second in the evening.

"Tell the teams ahead to form a formation and enter the city, and those prisoners will be handed over to the subsequent troops to deal with it, hurry!"

The gap was facing the Minzhong Division led by Zhang Zisheng. Once Zhang Zisheng's order was issued, he pressed the flag in front of the flag. The drum sounded like thunder, and shouted the word "tiger" like a conditioned reflex. The army began to attack the slopes made from bricks, stones, soil and even pieces of human flesh.

The defenders at the gap were naturally unable to escape, and even the defenders who did not roll into the collapse were still staring at all.

Xu Erxian, who first reacted, felt the most sincere about this scene in the city. The collapse of the city wall was not the most terrifying. There were no examples of the defenders using wooden fences and stones to block the gap after the city wall was destroyed. Those things were still good, but now they can just organize people to block the city wall.

However, no matter how he shouted, the guards around him were almost indifferent except those who had been scared away. It was not until the moment he cut the head of a defender beside him to the ground that the defenders reacted. But by this time, it was too late.

The Minzhong Division rolled forward. Because it was not far from the city wall, the infantry team in the front soon rushed to the gap and lined up to advance into the city. The subsequent troops began to fight along the slope of the city wall toward the city wall on both sides. At the same time, Ma Xin bowed to Chen Wen and took the Siming Division out as Zhang Zisheng's stamina. The Luling Division and Yuhang Division on both wings continued to form formations to drive out the defeated troops, and the moat was the best cage.

The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang started to move again and rushed into the city like a flood. The auxiliary soldiers in the city were ordered to transport the guards in a state of terror, but they didn't bring the things but saw the Ming army entering the city first. They immediately cried and shouted to their parents, turning into birds and beasts.

After a while, Chen Wen looked at the commander's flag and saw that most of the Fujian Central Division had entered the city. Soon, the suspension bridge at the Dadong Gate in Guangzhou fell, and the city gate opened. The Siming Division simply turned to the Dadong Gate, and the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang rushed in faster.

There are two counties in Guangzhou, from the east to Panyu and from the west to the south. The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang entered from the east of the city. While chasing the defeated soldiers, it also needed to control important areas in the city.

As the first troops to attack the city, the Minzhong Division's mission was to chase and kill the defeated soldiers, capture the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and capture the Pingnan Prince Shang Kexi and his son. The work of being ranked at the next level was left to the follow-up Siming Division, and the same was true for those behind.

The Minzhong Division opened the way, and the Siming Division followed. While capturing the defeated soldiers and torturing the whereabouts of Shang Kexi and others, they attacked the Pingnan Prince's Mansion based on the map provided by the Military Information Department. Along the way, the defenders were invincible. Yushan, Fanshan and other places were successively captured by the Ming army. The spreading army took advantage of the situation to open the small north gate to lead the Yuhang Division, which was chasing the north to enter the city, while the troops heading south broke through the Xiaonan Gate and attacked the new city that was expanded in the south during the Ming Dynasty. They took advantage of the situation to open the small east gate of the new city to lead the Luling Division into the city.

Four divisions entered the city in full, and Chen Wen also climbed the city wall of the Great East Gate. Xu Erxian, who had followed Shang Kexi in the Dongjiang Army, was captured by the Ming army at this moment. One was on the city wall, and the other was squeezed into the moat by the defeated soldiers and horses. The next moment, a team of horses came from outside the city. Chen Wen recognized it at a glance, but the level in the hand of the general was very strange.

"The last general Yu Youming killed the general under Shang Kexi, You Yunlong, and Xian and the general."

On Yu Youming's face, a deep bone-sighted wound accompanied by a sonorous and powerful male voice trembled continuously. I think this level is hard-won. Chen Wen looked at the general under Shang Kexi, who had previously been nicknamed the ogre by him, and then nodded to the young general in front of him.

"You are doing a good job, go down to heal your wounds first. If you lose your appearance and can't marry a wife, your father will blame me in the future."

Chen Wen's praise response was that the warmth wandered in Youming's heart. At that time, the father and son depended on each other in this chaotic world, but later he was the only one left. Even if Chen Wen helped him take revenge on Yu Tianxiong, this lonely cold still enveloped him. But Chen Wen said just this sentence, Yu Youming seemed to feel that his father was actually watching him beside him, watching him practice martial arts diligently on the training ground, and watching him kill generals and flags on the battlefield, probably looking forward to his success and success in the day for the Yu family to pass on his family.

"I will obey the order."

Yu Youming, who was in tears, handed over Yunlong's level to Chen Wen's guards. After a flat-breasted ceremony from the China Revival Society, he strode towards the temporary injury site under the city.

During this period, the Ming army made rapid progress. Chenghuang Temple, Yuehua Academy, Gongbei Tower, Yuexiu Academy, Yuexiu Mountain, Zhenhai Tower in the north of the city, Yongfeng Cang in the south of the city and the south of the city were successively recovered by the Ming army. The army even surrounded the Pingnan Prince's Mansion three floors inside and three floors outside, for fear of losing any important figure inside.

The Pingnan Prince's Mansion, which is still popular in the east of later generations, covers a large area of ​​hundreds of acres. It is mainly the People's Park in the east of later generations, and the west end is located in Guangzhou Ying Guesthouse and its vicinity, covering a large area.

This royal palace was vigorously built after Shang Kexi captured Guangzhou. The Jingnan Prince Mansion, which was built at the same time, was no less inferior and even more luxurious.

At that time, the old city of Guangzhou was all "two kings", and "all their sons and nephews and officials from the Han army were surrounded by officials." As for the original local governments, all the yamen were driven to the outer city. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao built large-scale construction in the old city of Guangzhou. The two royal palaces "look at each other from east to west, and were extremely majestic" and were very grand.

These extravagant and extremely desires were exploited by the people of Guangdong. According to records, Geng Jimao was very extravagant and claimed that the lions at the gate of the royal palace should be carved from white stone. Some people who flattered suggested that the best stone production in Zhaoqing area was so good, so Geng Jimao sent a letter to Zhaoqing and Gaoyao to seek it. Local officials and civilians were exhausted and selected two pieces of stone for enlistment after screening from multiple sources. When they were transported to Zhaoqing Gorge, the ship and stone fell into the Xijiang River together because of the heavy load. They had to search again and offer them separately.

Later, the local official Yang Yongjian was transferred to the Ministry of War to become a Beijing official before he dared to write to the Qing court, pointing out that the land of Guangdong Province was "unbearable to the exploitation of the two kings", and stated that it had "disguised the people" of more than 20 pieces.

Historically, after receiving a memorial, the Qing court decided to move Jingnan Fan to leave Guangdong. It was originally planned to send it to Sichuan, and then to Guangxi, and finally Fujian was decided. It was the sixteenth year of Shunzhi. Guangdong was occupied by the two kings since the fourth year of Yongli, that is, the seventh year of Shunzhi, and nearly ten years have passed. The royal palace of Jingnan Fan also jumped into Shang Kexi's second son, "Shang Zhixiao Mansion, which is particularly magnificent."

Due to Chen Wen's rise, Zheng Chenggong got a more favorable environment. The Qing Dynasty had to move Jingnanfan seven years in advance to Fujian due to military factors. Geng Jimao, the newly built royal palace, became Shang Zhixiao's mansion before he could recognize the road. However, in Quanzhou, the brand-new Jingnan royal palace still shocked Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong at that time. Whether it was Chen Wen's Yue Mansion in Jinhua or Zheng Chenggong's Yanping County Prince's Mansion in Zhongzuo, they all seemed to be a pigpen compared to them, which was very different.

The two royal palaces are now a royal palace and a villa, which have been surrounded by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Shang Kexi's trusted troops are still using the strength of the royal palace to resist stubbornly. They are Shang Kexi's iron rods, and many of them have followed Shang Kexi from Liaodong. Shang Kexi has never missed their blood debts, so they have fought bravely here.

It will take time to capture the royal palace, but Chen Wen is not in a hurry. Instead, he keeps sending orders to Zhang Zisheng, Ma Xin, Hou Guoyuan, An Youfu and others. The army needs to occupy the Guangzhou city wall and various gates as soon as possible to prevent Shang Kexi from escaping. However, according to the confession of the captured Shang Kexi's personal soldiers, Shang Kexi chose to escape after the city wall was collapsed, and he was heading towards the royal palace. Now the royal palace is still struggling to resist, and it seems that it is still inside.

Geng Jimao hoarded the wealth in the palace. At that time, Chen Wen left it to Zheng Chenggong for him to recover his strength as soon as possible. He took away only half of the war horses, thinking that it was used for the Northern Expedition.

This is the tacit understanding between the two sides. Without enough cavalry, Zheng Chenggong could not formally compete with Chen Wen on the 6th. Geng Jimao's private wealth was a lot, worth no less than one million taels of silver, but Chen Wen didn't care, because Geng Jimao's source of wealth was just Quanzhou and Xinghua, as well as trade with Liu Qingtai, while Shang Kexi was a province in Guangdong to worship. Even if the Battle of Xinhui was rewritten by Chen Wen, there was a territory of half of the province, which was not the same order of magnitude at all.

Chen Wen is not sure how much is, but the Marine Trade in Minhai was monopolized by the Zheng family, and Geng Jimao could not eat it. But Shang Kexie owned Guangzhou and Tongyang foreign ships were constantly in exchange for each other. This alone was enough to crush Geng Jimao.

The attack on the royal palace was as the cannons blasted the courtyard wall and the Ming army rushed into the royal palace and entered the street fighting stage. Those who were still happy were all elites who had been in the army for many years and had been fighting out of blood. It really slowed down the fierce offensive of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang as usual. However, the number of such elites was extremely limited, and even with the familiarity of the geographical advantage, they could not last long.

Shang Zhixiao's mansion, Shang Kexi's mansion, was successively captured by the Ming army, but with the investigation of the personnel, Zhang Zisheng, who was personally in front of the gate of the palace, soon discovered a big problem - Shang Kexi disappeared from the palace.
