Yangzhou was broken, on the sixth day and night.

The 50,000 surrendered soldiers outside the city were in chaos.

General Li Tongyan's troops rebelled, and attacked at night. The fire spread for ten miles, and more than 40,000 soldiers were captured.

Rumors of the attack from the four towns in northern Jiang were rampant. Li Tongyan raised the banner that Tieduo was dead and attacked Yangzhou.

Tieduo, who was stationed in Datai Temple, dispatched 3,000 white-flag cavalry. Just one round of charge dispersed the enemy's vanguard, and Li Tongyan was forced to withdraw from the city.

The city gate was closed by the halberd soldiers, and the commanders of all the troops received military orders to stop looting immediately and return to the camp.

Li Tongyan, who noticed the enemy's intention, immediately led his personal battalion to attack the northern city wall, and the battle was in full swing.

…

The southern city wall.

Jiang He climbed up along the gap between the bricks and stones, and the advice of General Li rang in his ears.

"Two hours, you only have two hours to assassinate."

"Don't think that the army hastily launched an uprising and caught the Qing army off guard, but in fact, from outside the pass to inside the pass, from north to south of the Yangtze River, most of the generals and soldiers have been killed and frightened. Unless you can provide enough military pay, I dare to say that we will fight head-on."

"The most important thing is that we lack cavalry. All the war horses have been surrendered and supplied to the white flag soldiers."

"Before dawn, without Tie Duo's head, our army will inevitably be defeated."

Finally, Jiang He climbed the southern city wall.

Looking around, Yangzhou City has been massacred for six days. The corpses on both sides of the road have been soaked in sewage, causing their skin to be as green as drums, and their flesh and blood are festering, and the stench is overwhelming. Because the martial law order has failed, the eyes are burning everywhere, the flames are all over the sky, the room is like fog, and the stench is pervasive for hundreds of miles.

Occasionally, you can see citizens running around on the streets, with their bodies burnt out, broken arms and legs, covered with knife marks and blood stains. Behind them, there are still green soldiers chasing with knives, like countless Yaksha evil spirits chasing and killing thousands of lives, and now hundreds of thousands of people have died tragically.

The entire Yangzhou city is not like the human world.

Jiang He lay on the city wall, holding up the monocular telescope he got from General Li, and searching the city bit by bit.

The white flag cavalry of the Qing army was wearing armor. They did not leave the city rashly before because they did not want to bear heavy casualties.

The Great Halberd Battalion guarded the north wall of the city. These strong men wielded halberds, and one person could defend a battlement.

In the direction of Datai Temple, a group of assistants were gathering. Among them, the Shenji Battalion was located closest to the center. The 42 red cannons had an amazing record of knocking down the city wall.

Jiang He suddenly stood up and moved quickly to the side, adjusting the angle to continue observing. He saw dozens of green soldiers constantly transporting shells and gunpowder from a house on the central street.

Tie Duo led the white flag soldiers across the river and headed south. They were an isolated army, carrying a large amount of ammunition to attack the city. Nineteen years ago, during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, an explosion occurred in the gunpowder depot of Wanggongchang in the old capital, killing and injuring more than 20,000 people. It was called the Tianqi explosion in history. The equivalent of the Qing army's reserves should not be that much, but the power of gunpowder is still worth looking forward to.

"Found it."

"The Qing army suppresses the rebellion. This is an opportunity."

"Use the long to defeat the short. My advantage is explosion."

Jiang He went down the city wall and moved forward rapidly among the broken walls and ruins. His figure was like a cheetah, extremely agile. The rare armor borrowed from Chu Fuqiang had flexible joints and did not affect his activities at all.

A quarter of an hour later, he returned to the central street. In the plan, Li Zongbing's rebellion was only used to attract firepower, and the real decision of victory or defeat was assassination.

Around the houses, the Shenji Camp had left under heavy protection. A whole group of assistants guarded the gunpowder depot. There were also troops being mobilized on the streets not far away.

Seeing this, Jiang He turned around and left, heading to the Yan Family Tomb in the west of the city, and found Chu Fuqiang on the beam in the old house of the Yan Family.

"Brother Mo Ke!"

The burly man landed, looking thinner from hunger.

Jiang He said briefly: "I plan to charge again, and I need you to attract the attention of a garrison commander. In addition, lend me the Stalker's Seal, and if I am not dead, I will return it to you tomorrow morning."

Chu Fuqiang knew that the other party wanted to kill Tie Duo, and this alone was worth in-depth cooperation between the two sides.

"Time, place, and what should I do." Chu Fuqiang agreed very happily, full of military style.

"Follow me."

The two left the old house of the Yan Family and ran all the way to the central street. The people stationed here were Tie Duo's direct line, and the commander was even an "acquaintance". He ordered the four-man team to disperse on the day the city was broken. Because he was killed for his subordinates, he could only watch the merit of suppressing the rebellion.

"I want to steal the gunpowder inside. Try to delay the time. If things are not going well, retreat on your own. Add a friend first."

Chu Fuqiang roughly understood what someone meant. After handing over the Stalker's Chapter, he accepted the friend request. He consumed energy to summon the running stone horse and prepared for battle.

Half a minute later, a man holding an axe in one hand rode a horse to charge the battle line, causing a commotion.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Jiang He went around to the back of the gunpowder depot, used the Stalker's Chapter to deal with a team of guards, and shot out a gun to smash a corner of the brick wall.

The gunpowder was very dark. Before storing it, the Qing army would use torches to dry the air to prevent the humid environment in the rainy season from destroying the gunpowder. A qualified warehouse requires a lot of energy.

Jiang He ignored the dozen or so red cannons. The gunpowder they were equipped with was specially sealed in dense wooden boxes to prevent it from exploding when in contact with open flames. There were a total of 102 wooden boxes. He couldn't estimate their power for the time being, but Tieduo still had several important towns and accompanying towns to capture in the south, so the stockpile was definitely not small.

The wooden boxes were put into the bag one by one. Jiang He raised his hand to absorb the surrounding air. The bag was catalyzed by thermal radiation, and the flames burned fiercely. Finally, the oxygen was exhausted, the flames went out, and turned into more intense thermal radiation and shock waves.

Jiang He used the last tenth box of gunpowder to fill the bullets, and blew up the wall in front of the gunpowder depot after firing.

Outside, Chu Fuqiang, who was fighting bloody, received the signal and immediately rode away on horseback.

The garrison commander understood and led his troops back to defend with his eyes wide open, but the building was empty.

"Quickly notify Lord Tieduo!"

...

Leave the gunpowder depot.

Jiang He ran towards Datai Temple. Under the double cover of the night and the chapter of the stalker, his figure was like a black shadow.

The second time he came to Shouhu, Jiang He plunged directly into the water, and only emerged a few times to breathe, and then successfully landed.

Due to Li Tongyan's rebellion, the Daji Camp and the Shenji Camp had already left, but when someone walked out of the garden, 1,500 personal soldiers seemed to have been waiting for a long time, lined up in formation, and torches were lit layer by layer, making the three-mile distance look like a ghost road in the underworld.

Under the Eight Treasures Pagoda, Tieduo was wearing a red brocade robe, with an indifferent look. Whether it was a rebellion outside the city or someone's arrival, it seemed to be nothing in his eyes.

"Try to catch him as much as possible, with the premise of killing him." Tieduo ordered.

The great shaman in yellow clothes and armor shouted: "If the enemy enters two miles, kill everyone in the camp, don't let him get close to the prince."

During the first battle of Datai Temple, the great shaman saw with his own eyes that this land dragon used unknown means to instantly blow up the chaos of black robes, and the effective range was at least twenty feet.
