Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 197 Nanjing ([-])

Although they entered Jiangning City, the Tatars started to burn the city all the way because they were unwilling to fail.

After Ba Shan and Zhang Dayou couldn't resist in front of Jubao Gate, they retreated to the Garrison City, which was the former Ming Palace.

In order to hinder the pursuit of the group members, Bashan ordered his men to start burning the houses passing by, but the flames were extinguished by the follow-up security group as soon as they rose.However, the Tartars also achieved their goals.In order to fight the fire, the chasing troops had to stop, and the residents who ran out of the burning houses and ran around also slowed down the speed of the chasing troops.

When Zhou Chaozhong and Ni Zhan led their troops all the way to the garrison city, the gates of the garrison city were closed, and there were Tartars standing on the wall with weapons in their hands.It's just that these Tartars are old, young, and even some women. I'm afraid all the Tartars in the garrison city have gone up to the city wall.These are not those two Tartars, but real Tartars.

Looking at the Tartars on the city wall who were either showing fierce eyes, trembling, or dancing like crazy, Ni Zhan felt very happy.

Back then, the Tartars killed all six members of Ni Zhan's family, leaving him alone, and even his child who was not yet full moon was spared.In this way, the hatred of destroying the family cannot be shared, as long as Ni Zhan is alive, he will avenge his family for this bloody revenge.Five years later, Ni Zhan finally led his troops into Jiangning City.Although this is not the capital of the Tartars, it can also comfort their loved ones.

"After breaking the city, no one will be left behind!" Ni Zhan said cruelly to his subordinates.

At this time, Zhou Chaozhong also arranged for his men to prepare to blow up the walls of the former Ming imperial city.

Standing on the city wall, Bashan looked down at the gangsters who were densely packed like insects and ants. Seeing that they were about to use the same trick to blow up the city wall again, he felt sad.Although his body was full of bruises, and several wounds that had been roughly bandaged had burst open again, but the pain in his body was far less than the pain in his heart.

At the beginning, the imperial army stretched thousands of miles across thousands of miles, slaughtered countless enemies, and bowed and surrendered wherever the soldiers pointed, but it was unexpected that after entering the Central Plains, it was like a deep hole in the mud.Even though it swept most of the world in the first two years, but after that, it turned against the flag everywhere, and there was no peace in the world.Because of the battles every year, the number of clansmen is already scarce, and now I am afraid that they will lose several thousand more.

Thinking of this, Bashan's heart was burning with anger. He resented why he didn't kill all the Han people in the city and let them be buried with his own people.

"Damn Ma Guozhu, you are such a traitor!" Bashan scolded angrily.When the security group spread the word traitor, Bashan was also influenced by it and defined Ma Guozhu as a flag traitor.It's just that it's too late to curse now, Ma Guozhu was thrown in the Jubao Gate by himself, and now his life and death are unknown, it is estimated that according to the bandit policy, even if Ma Guozhu is captured, he will die.

Bashan stood on the city wall with a tragic mood, ready to kill a few bandits before he died.He was already prepared, if the city walls were blasted by bandits, the imperial city would be burned by fire, so that the imperial aura of the city would be broken.Of course, this is Bashan's wishful thinking.

It was getting dark gradually, and the regiments who were attacking the enemy in Jiangning City raised their torches one after another, and marched forward with difficulty in the city.Under the leadership of the captured guide, they are going to control important departments in the city.

After Yifeng Gate was blasted and Jubao Gate was breached, people in the city who thought they would be defined as traitors by the security regiment ran towards the North Gate with their families. If they could escape the Yangtze River, they could find a way out.Along the way, they were crowded with the defeated soldiers, which greatly slowed down their progress.In order to make their escape easier, some Tartar soldiers simply drew out their knives and slashed forward, killing a bloody path.At this moment, no matter who stands in front of them, they are their enemies, even if the person in front of them is a certain lord or a certain master, even if he was only qualified to bow his knees and flatter him in front of them.But at this moment, their knives are the biggest, and personal bravery is the most reliable in times of chaos.These Tartar soldiers shy away from fighting against the security regiments and have no intention of fighting, but facing the unarmed people, they seem to be getting braver as they fight.

Because of the arson in Bashan and the chaos of the residents in the city, the speed of the security team's pursuit was greatly delayed.That's why many people were able to escape to the north gate. Fortunately, there were many boats left on the Yangtze River outside the north gate at this time. Many of the boats were also torn off, and even caused some small boats to capsize.

The crying and shouting at the scene were extremely miserable and loud.If one looked down from a high altitude at this moment, one could see the huge flow of people in Jiangning City moving towards the north with the last peripheral vision.

After it finally got dark that day, the Guards Battalion was ready to blast the former Ming imperial city.With the sound of an explosion, a huge hole was opened in the city wall of the imperial city.Not long after, flames erupted in the city and burned quickly.Because this was a planned burning, the fire was so fierce that the regiments who originally attacked the imperial city had no choice but to retreat, watching the fire intensify and finally engulfed the entire imperial city.On the way, some Tartars could not bear the pain of burning their bodies and tried to escape from the imperial city through the gap, but they were shot to death in front of the city wall by bows and arrows.Whether it was an old man or a child who fled from the city, or a woman who tried to use color to survive, none of them escaped the fate of death.

In the end, amidst howling and cursing, all the Tartars were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Seeing such a scene of revenge, Ni Zhan suddenly became dazed.With the flash of fire, he seemed to see his relatives standing together and smiling at him, as if expressing the joy of his revenge.

At this moment, two tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"It was the security team that gave me the opportunity to take revenge, and it was the team leader who gave me the ability to take revenge." Ni Zhan murmured silently in his heart.

At this time, because the head of the Yunmeng guard did not send troops to help, and because the head did not punish Xu Cheng, the training officer who abandoned him and refused to save him, he created a gap between himself and the head.Now this estrangement has also disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of gratitude and loyalty to the regiment leader Qiu Tianxing.

After the current Ming imperial city was set ablaze by Bashan, it meant that Jiangning city was completely captured by the security team.

Finally, Qiu Tianxing led his troops to capture Jiangning City and had an excellent base.
