The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 493 I'm Stuffed
Facing Xu Bin's compliment, Zhu Hongyu did not deny it, but spoke instead.

"Did Jiangxi win Nanchang?"

Xu Bin said.

"Wu Dingbo has led his troops to the city of Nanchang, and is preparing to attack Nanchang. It is expected that there will be results in the near future."

For today's Ming army, as long as the firepower is sufficient, there is no strong city that cannot be broken!
Under the beating of heavy artillery from the Ming army, it was only a matter of time before the city of Nanchang was destroyed.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"After taking down Nanchang, the war in Jiangxi can be slowed down for a while."

"Next, I, Daming, will focus on Fujian and Jiangnan."

"Jiangxi's tactics have changed to focus on defense. At most, it is to manage the city defense of Nanchang, and make preparations to use Nanchang as a bridgehead to face the enemy in the north."

"The area around the south of the Yangtze River will most likely be the main battlefield for my Ming Dynasty to face the main force of the Qing army going south!"

"Besides, if our army wants to take over the Jingnan Army's territory in Fujian and Jiangnan, we have to put in a certain amount of energy."

"..."

Zhu Hongyu rubbed his eyebrows while speaking.

Now he really feels that Daming has swallowed too much land in one go this year, and he has a little indigestion.

Since years ago, first Guangxi, then Jiangxi, if you add Fujian next, and a small half of Zhejiang...

That was more than half a year, and most of the southeast was defeated.

Even if Daming's heart desires, this progress is a bit too fast.

Zhu Hongyu could clearly feel that Daming was overwhelmed by this wave.

Due to the need to transfer officials to the newly occupied land, the administrative efficiency of the original land has dropped significantly. In the past, the government orders were easy to use, but now they are starting to feel stagnant.

But even so, Daming's control over those newly occupied territories is quite limited.

Not to mention in-depth control, even basic tax collection and military recruitment can only be completed with the cooperation of local gentry forces.

If it hadn't been suppressed by the north, the military pressure brought by the main force of the Qing court's southern expedition would have been too great, and Zhu Hongyu would try to strengthen his territory and strength as much as possible.

He will finish playing Guangxi at most this year, and he will not use troops abroad again.

Instead, they will bury their heads in farming to train troops and repair internal affairs!

Zhu Hongyu knew that when he finished the decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army going south, there was a high probability that he would not have the energy to continue using troops abroad.

At the very least, within two or three years, he will no longer be able to fight a large-scale battle with the Qing army!
It's not that the army can't move, but that internal affairs don't allow it!
He needs at least two or three years to free up his hands and organize the internal affairs of the provinces he controls before he can continue to use troops.

Xu Bin said.

"The subordinate understands!"

Zhu Hongyu asked again.

"Where is the main force of the Qing army now?"

Zhou Tianxu replied.

"His Royal Highness, the current news is that when the main force of the Qing army was marching to Linqing, Tuhai and Hong Chengchou received the news that Bumbutai was assassinated and died. They ordered their troops to stop in Linqing and stop going south. , waiting for follow-up news."

"In the future, no specific news has come!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and spoke after a while of contemplation.

"Operation Bohai Sea is almost ready to start!"

The operation around the Bohai Sea mentioned by Zhu Hongyu means that the Ming army navy entered the Bohai Bay, raided Jinmen, or other places along the Bohai Sea.

The purpose is to attract part of the Qing army's troops to the Jinmen area, and strive for a greater chance of winning for the Great Ming Jiangnan Battle!
Xu Bin spoke again.

"The subordinate understands!"

In fact, it is more than just the Bohai Rim operation that should be launched.

Even on Zhu Hongyu's side, it was almost time to start preparing to lead the main force of the Restoration Army northward, and prepare for a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army going south.

……

Outside Nanchang!

The roar of the heavy artillery rang out one after another, and the shells blasted by the heavy artillery fired towards the city wall of Nanchang as if they didn't need money.

The cannonball the size of a human head slammed into the city wall, causing the bricks and stones of the city wall to splatter and cracks appeared.

The flowering bullet landed on the top of the city, and clusters of flames exploded.

In the billowing black smoke, dense fragments splashed, sweeping across a large area of ​​Qing soldiers around the shells.

Nanchang is a strong city!
No matter how strong a city is, it cannot withstand such indiscriminate bombardment by shells.

The jagged wall stacks at the top of the city were almost swept away!

Even the city gate tower was completely reduced to ruins under the bombardment of heavy artillery.

The banners of the Qing army were smashed and fell down under the shelling.

The huge city of Nanchang has already become bare.

The defenders at the top of the city were covered by the firepower of solid bullets, flower bullets, and shotgun bullets, and their casualties continued to rise.

Don't dare to stand up!

The trenches of the Ming army continued to advance towards Nanchang City. In the zigzag trenches, there would be an artillery emplacement at every distance.

In the artillery positions, a series of large-caliber siege mortars were arranged.

Gunpowder and shells are neatly stacked next to the gun body, and the gunner is also ready.

The rifleman also began to enter the trench, reload the rifle in his hand, and aim at the city.

Always be ready to pull the trigger!

Everything is a cover for ascending the city!

Xia Yuankui stood under the banner, looked towards the direction of Nanchang City, and said.

"Unexpectedly, under my Da Ming's offensive, I can persist for such a long time!"

"The defender of Nanchang is a talented person. After the city of Nanchang is broken, this general wants to see him!"

"Question and question him, if a good person doesn't do it, why do you want to be a slave to Qinglu?!"

It has been nearly five days since the Ming army arrived at the city of Nanchang!
The successive attacks were all pushed back by the counterattack of the Qing army after the Guiyi army's ascending troops climbed to the top of Nanchang's city.

Although the Ming army attacked the city several times in succession, the progress of the Ming army was advancing every time, and even the last time the Ming army attacked the city, the Ming army had entered the city of Nanchang.

But it still made Xia Yuankui feel ashamed!
The tenacity of the Nanchang defenders is a bit abnormal!
"Order the main force of the army to press up, and we must break through Nanchang in one fell swoop!"

Xia Yuankui waved his hand and ordered, in order to boost the morale of the army, he even climbed onto the high platform himself and beat the drums.

Boom!dong dong!dong dong dong!

The dull war drums sounded one after another.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"..."

Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the Ming army launched a general attack on Nanchang City again.

At this moment, there is only the sound of shouting and killing in the world!
The red armor of the Ming army was as dazzling as a flame, rolling towards Nanchang City.

Amidst the rumbling explosions, a series of large-caliber siege mortars fired explosive bullets with an astonishing charge into Nanchang City.

Amidst the rumbling explosion, a large group of flames rose in the city of Nanchang.

The Ming army launched an attack on Nanchang City again!
Heavy artillery and siege mortars roared continuously, and the rifleman pulled the trigger, shooting with terrifying accuracy.

Constantly, the Qing army defending the city was hit by muskets and fell from the top of the city screaming.

Boom!Boom!
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, a section of the city wall swelled high, and then fell back quickly.

The solid and thick city walls collapsed and turned into ruins.

Huge clouds of smoke and dust rose into the sky, and countless debris of masonry was carried into the sky by the shock wave, and then fell like rain.

The solid Nanchang city wall was blasted with a big hole!

The masonry and earthwork collapsed into a hill!
……

ps: The big injustice who only has one day off for National Day resumes classes today.

So, um... only three more!
