The city walls were filled with Qing troops, and the passages were blocked, making it difficult for each other to support each other.

Zhang Cunren saw the Ming army attacking by boat, and then he knew that the city was over.

So he quickly slipped back, hundreds of personal soldiers blocked the city walls, fighting fiercely with Fang Guoan's people.

The city wall was full of Qing troops, and the passage was blocked by dense crowds. If the Ming army wanted to chase after him, they had to kill the Qing troops on the city wall.

At this time, on other sides, the Ming army took a bamboo raft and began to attack the city in an all-round way. The soldiers first shot the Qing army on the top of the city with arrows and muskets. The defenders jumped into the water in the rain of arrows and wanted to escape by slid.

There was a place on the top of the city where Ma Guanghui, who had just sent Huang Shu away, was fighting to the death to resist the Ming army's attack, but the defenders were killed and retreated step by step. Ma Guanghui was so anxious that he waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Hold on, hold on to me!"

At this time, a messenger rushed over and said to Ma Guanghui: "Military Gate, Nancheng has been lost, and the Governor General asked the military Gate to the rear of the military Gate."

Ma Guanghui was shocked and asked anxiously: "Where is Zhang Zhongtang?"

"The Governor has now gone to the North Gate!"

Ma Guanghui's muscles twitched on his face. He saw the Ming army rushing to the wall with a bamboo raft. A grenade threw a grenade on the city wall. The Qing army on the city wall was blown up. The city was empty. The Ming army took the opportunity to go up to the city and slashed the Qing army with a knife. The Qing soldiers had no intention of fighting, either kneeling down to surrender or jumping into the water.

Ma Guanghui sighed, and the Qing army around him looked at him, all with anger on his face, ready to fight with the Ming army.

But Ma Guanghui suddenly turned around and roared quietly, "Get away quickly!"

In the north city, Zhang Cunren demolished the city tower, found some wood, and built dozens of rafts.

"Master Zhongtang, go quickly!" The Qing army heard the shouts of killing and saw that the Ming army had already entered the city, and urgently advised him.

Zhang Cunren sighed softly, "Hasn't Ma Junmen come?"

The officers around all shook their heads, "The Ma Junmen covered the evacuation of the Zhongtang, so the Zhongtang should go first!"

Zhang Cunren looked at the Hangzhou city that became the country of Ze. He sighed, boarded the raft, and led hundreds of people to flee north.

The raft has no sails or oars, but fortunately the flood peak pours northward and leads the raft to the north.

In the vast turbid water, driftwood was floating, and dead bodies of people and livestock were floating. Dozens of rafts, each of which was filled with Qing army and fled north in a hurry.

Most of the Qing army on the raft discarded their armor, and a considerable number of people also lost their weapons so that the raft could ride more people.

At this time, the group had just left the city not long ago, and a burst of shouts of killing came. The Qing army on the raft suddenly exclaimed, "No, the thief army is chasing us."

Zhang Cunren, who was still in shock, looked back and saw Ming army chasing him in a small boat behind him. His heart immediately sank and shouted anxiously, "Hurry up, row forward!"

When the Qing soldiers saw the Ming army chasing us, they all lie on the raft and paddled desperately, but the ships behind them were still getting closer and closer.

Soon, the ship caught up with the Qing army's raft, but the people above did not shoot arrows and shot the Qing army, but also paddled desperately, crossing the Qing army's raft, throwing a back to the Qing army, and rowing northward.

"It's Ma Junmen!" Qing Jun, whose arms were sore on the raft, stood up and saw several small boats leaving, with an incredible look on his face.

Zhang Cunren's face darkened, "It's outrageous! Ma Guanghui was responsible for the palace, but the palace actually went to the front of the governor."

The Qing army on the raft stood up and watched Ma Guanghui run to the front of the ship. At this moment, a "bang bang" sound of muskets behind him sounded. The Qing army standing up was shot behind him and fell into the turbid flood.

Behind the raft, the Ming army fleet was chasing and began to shoot the Qing army. Zhang Cunren looked at the disappearing Ma Guanghui angrily, knowing that the speed of the raft was not as fast as that of the Ming army's boat. He roared with a hint of despair: "Run to the mound in front."

The Qing army on the raft was constantly shot to death by the Ming army, and the bodies fell into the water, and bright red flowers appeared in the turbid flood.

The Qing army rowed the raft desperately and rushed to an unsubmerged hill. The raft directly hit the hill. The Qing soldiers rolled and climbed up the hill. The Ming army warships rowed, and Zhang Mingzhen waved and shouted: "Full up!"

At dusk, the battle in Hangzhou was coming to an end, and groups of Qing army prisoners were confiscated and tied to the top of the city.

The Ming soldiers rode small boats and bamboo rafts through the city, clearing the Qing army on the roof one by one, rescuing the affected people, and evacuating the people from altitude.

Zhu Yihai did not enter Hangzhou City, but instead checked the gap in the river embankment surrounded by hundreds of personal guards and accompanied by Zhang Huangyan and others.

At this time, after learning that Hangzhou was captured, thousands of Ming troops and nearly ten thousand civilians had begun to throw soil bags and stones into the gap, intending to block the gap.

"After Hangzhou City is down, it is necessary to treat the victims as soon as possible. To rescue the disaster, the first thing to do is to block the gap, clear the waterway, and allow the flood to retreat as soon as possible." Zhu Yihai was in a heavy mood.

Zhang Huangyan said: "Your Highness, all the troops and people have been sent to block the door and break the door, and open the soil bags to clear the water flow. The flood can subside in at most two or three days."

Zhu Yihai nodded and continued: "This time many people suffered misfortunes. The government should treat them immediately. In addition, after the major disaster, it is necessary to prevent the epidemic. All prefectures and counties must prepare in advance."

Zhang Huangyan bowed and said, "Don't worry, your highness has transferred a large number of people before. The people who were affected by the disaster were mainly those near Hangzhou. The army is transferring them to high places. I ordered the soldiers to deal with the bodies and seconded the medical team of the East China Sea to enter the counties to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic."

"If the victims gather in one place, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the situation and order the army to be arrested and robbed, injured, or raped, all defeated soldiers will be executed. The Ming soldiers will be punished in the same crime!" Zhu Yihai instructed in a deep voice.

At this time, a team of soldiers drove a boat near the shore and carried a corpse from the boat. The body was placed on a stretcher and covered with white cloth.

The old coach Zhang Mingzhen jumped off the boat, came to Zhu Yihai, and bowed with fists, "Report to your Highness, Ma Guanghui has escaped, but I have trapped Zhang Cunren!"

After saying that, Zhang Mingzhen pulled open the white cloth and revealed a pale body, with blood holes all over his body, and a long scar on his neck, which was shocking.

Zhang Mingzhen explained: "While chasing Ma Guanghui, I ran into Zhang Cunren and trapped him in a low hill. Under the siege of all the Qing army, all the remaining Qing troops were killed. Zhang Cunren was shot by a musket and committed suicide on the top of the mountain."

Zhu Yihai went forward to look at Zhang Cunren's body. When he first attacked Hangzhou, he was defeated by this man, and lost tens of thousands of soldiers. He was unable to recover and was swept across eastern Zhejiang by the Qing army.

Now seeing Zhang Cunren's body, Zhu Yihai felt no pleasure in his heart, but just ordered: "Cut his head and pass it on to the whole Zhejiang! I will inform the world that the lonely king will restore Hangzhou."
