Wu Sangui's people were all cavalry, so they retreated faster.

This guy is very cunning. Although he also brought infantry from Henan, none of these infantry came to Jiujiang.

Zuo Menggeng originally thought he was very smart, but compared to Wu Sangui, this guy was far inferior to that of him.

"Take everything away for me, and nothing can be left to these bastards in the court."

Before leaving, Zuo Menggeng issued this order, which was originally just to take away some things from the official warehouse. After Zuo Menggeng's order was taken down, his soldiers quickly could not control them and these people began to rob the whole city.

At the beginning, Zuo Menggeng wanted to stop these people, but later he calmed down this idea.

The brothers followed him from Wuchang to Jiujiang, without paying any money, and they still owed several months of military pay.

If they were not allowed to find an opportunity to rob, no one would follow them in the future. Anyway, this place will be the jurisdiction of the court in the future, so just rob them.

All the young people in Jiujiang City were sent to the city wall by Zuo Menggeng, and the rest were some old, weak, sick and disabled. How could these people be the opponents of these rebel soldiers? Some of them were directly chopped off with one knife, and the whole city was wailing.

"The city gate was broken, everyone run away quickly, the imperial army is here..."

Shortly after dark, many people in the city were busy robbing. Suddenly, this sound came. Many people quickly put down their things and ran out from the West Gate.

Someone took advantage of the chaos and looked back. It turned out that the location of the city wall was now empty, which means that this part of the city wall should have been blown up.

If the troops outside come in, they can come in every minute. Look at the troops in the city. Apart from robbery, they may not be able to do anything else.

"Is it true that I'm not going to die? Let me go quickly. It's time. If anyone dares to rob, I'll kill him with one stone."

The lower-level officer pulled out his whip and beat or scolded the soldiers around him. If he didn't retreat quickly, he would have no chance in a while.

Like Zuo Menggeng, they were able to have this position in the army because of the soldiers under them. If all the soldiers ran away, who would know that they were generals in the army?

The entire Jiujiang City was in chaos, with ordinary people crying everywhere, and many corpses were scattered on the streets, some were Zuo Menggeng's soldiers, some were ordinary people in Jiujiang City, but more were ordinary people.

Jiujiang City was originally a good city.

But after this ice disaster, the entire city was in a bloody storm.

Let’s look at the army outside the city.

Although the city gate and the city walls collapsed in many places, Ye Yun saw the fire in the city soaring into the sky. In addition, it was night, so he did not order the army to enter the city overnight.

It has an impact on all troops at night, but His Highness the Crown Prince once said that it has the greatest impact on our army, so try not to attack at night unless it is absolutely necessary.

After the city wall collapsed, the local soldiers on the city wall stopped resisting. In fact, when it had not collapsed before, these people also found a place to hide and had no intention of resisting. Now, after the collapse, they all jumped down with some broken marks.

Ye Yun and his army were right in front of his camp and received nearly 1,500 surrendered soldiers.

When Ye Yun heard these people talk about the city, he ordered his men to stop the shelling.

Zuo Menggeng and Wu Sangui's elite troops have begun to retreat. These people are all ordinary people. Some of them have not yet entered the army for three days, so they can't bear to greet them with shells.

And the people on the city wall were already shouting for surrender.

Ye Yun found some surrendered people and asked them to take torches to the city wall to persuade them to surrender, so that everyone could get off the city wall and gather outside the city. Ye Yun promised that he would not attack them.

"General, we haven't greeted those people yet!"

Ye Yun immediately asked someone to prepare for a rest. After all, he was not ready to fight at night, but Luan Qiang discovered the Huguang Navy in the Yangtze River.

Originally, they acted like to attack Nanjing, but now Zuo Menggeng's army has retreated, so they naturally won't continue to go downstream.

What's more, I just acted like before, and let them attack Nanjing with no guns and cannons, and you'll kill them.

"How did you forget these guys? Let the artillery regiments work overtime, and the artillery companies in various infantry regiments. You don't have much time, so they will definitely speed up through this section. They will sank as much as they can. These ships cannot be brought back by Zuo Menggeng."

Ye Yun slapped his forehead. He just thought about Jiujiang City, but he didn't think of the Huguang Navy in the Yangtze River. Fortunately, they didn't go there now.

Luan Qiang hurried down to convey the order.

"Don't just fight. If someone surrenders, let them lean over. This is all the money of the court."

Looking at Luan Qiang's appearance, Ye Yun quickly added, "Luan Qiang is a simple and crude guy, and the Huguang Navy was also built by the imperial court for money, and each warship is no longer cheap."

After following Zhu Cixuan for a long time, these people all know what the cost of fighting is. This time we have to earn this cost back.

After only about three minutes, the first shell shot towards the Yangtze River. The artillery's reaction ability was indeed good.

However, the artillery was mainly attacking the city walls earlier, so it was impossible to move them in a short time.

In addition, it is night now, the visibility is not very high, and the message can only be delivered by riding a horse. You can also see the flag during the day, so don’t even think about it at night.

There were already soldiers who wanted to use torches to deliver messages, but unfortunately, the distance was too far, and they could still see clearly within 500 meters. If it exceeded 500 meters, it would be a small spark in people's eyes.

After a night of hard work, Zuo Menggeng's Huguang Navy escaped. At dawn, Ye Yun saw dozens of naval warships sunk in the Yangtze River, and some people were preparing to swim ashore in the water, but soldiers were already waiting for them on the shore.

It was obvious that Ye Yun was not satisfied with the results of this battle and thought he could take down the entire Huguang Navy, but he did not expect that he would only kill one-fifth of their warships.
