Win the Ding 1617

() The city wall of Shenglong is only covered with a layer of city bricks, and the inside is made of rammed earth, which is not as strong as the city wall of the big city in the interior.For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit...The two shells have already caused huge cracks in the city wall of Thang Long City. The soldiers on the city have heard the sound of "cracking", as if it was the painful moan from the city wall. People around me, the sound of their teeth knocking up and down involuntarily.

At this moment, the four mortars also started to shoot out anger and shells.

Different from the direct aiming and shooting of the crone cannon, the ballistic of the mortar cannon is a curved line, aiming at the city tower and the defenders at the top of the city.

The shells from the 24-pound mortar leaped away. After reaching the apex, they turned back and went straight to the defenders on the city wall. Several defenders were unable to dodge and were hit by the shells falling from the sky, breaking their bones and tendons immediately. .What's more, the unlucky guy who didn't cultivate in the previous life was smashed into two parts by the shell. Under the huge impact force of the shell, his upper body flew backwards and flew out sideways, hitting a hot oil pan directly. Turning over, the soldiers around the oil pot screamed, and their bodies were already in flames, and the flames spread across the city immediately!

A 48-pound mortar shell went straight to the south gate tower of Thang Long City without dying.The huge cannonball penetrated the tiled roof truss on the tower, and the burning gunpowder brought the cannonball not only a huge power, but also a scorching temperature, which was enough to set the wooden tower on fire.

A group of adults who were commanding Ruoding on the top of the city tower were stunned by the huge movement that fell from the sky, and even forgot to turn in. Of course, it may be too late to turn in.The mortar shells smashed right into the crowd who set up the headquarters in the south gate tower.

After bursts of chaotic and painful shouts, the adults at the South Gate Guard Command suddenly discovered that they could see their own backs.Or, one's own hand can hold one's own arm.

"Order all the cannons to fire on me!"

Seeing the effect of the first round of shooting from the six cannons, Wang Bao slapped his thigh excitedly, causing the horse under his crotch to raise his head and hiss into the air, motivating many horses in the Nanzhong Army formation. There were also bursts of howling and roaring.

The artillery fire of the four battalions of the Phoenix Battalion strengthened the artillery fire of the two artillery battalions of the siege troops, and the artillery fire of the Right Battalion of the Guards and the Rear Battalion joined the firepower on the top of the city. Fired the artillery in the rain of bullets, and launched a confrontation with the artillery below the city. For a while, the trajectory of the artillery shells above and below the city was as dense as a spider web. changes due to heat.

The artillery fire of the Zheng family's army relied on the city wall to be condescending, and there was a large amount of gunpowder made by the South China Army. The gunner who couldn't dodge on the side had his brains split to death.

Under the tense operation of the gunners, the two Krono guns launched a second round of shooting.

This time, the artillery aimed at a more precise target.

"Target! The impact point of the first shot! Fire!"

Another two [-]-jin cannonballs hit the city wall, only two or three feet away from where they were hit just now. The huge impact caused the bricks and stones on the city wall to fly wildly, and the rammed earth inside the city wall had already begun to appear. signs of collapse.

"Come again!"

The gunners on the side saw that it was cheap, and aimed their muzzles at the position where the Kron gun hit just now. For a while, more than a dozen twelve-pound and eight-pound artillery poured shells here. Finally, Thang Long The city walls could no longer hold on.

"Boom" with a loud noise.

A huge cloud of smoke rose into the sky, causing people in the city and the city to forget to fight. From time to time, there were bursts of shrill screams in the smoke, as if a monster suddenly appeared in the sky and the earth, and wanted to kill the city. people swallowed it in one gulp.

People waited in fear for the smoke to dissipate, and the scene in front of them stunned the people present.

The city wall was repeatedly abused by shells at the waist, causing it to collapse. A huge V-shaped gap appeared on the city wall, and what was even more frightening (exciting) was that the collapsed earth, stone, bricks and trees piled up under the city into a There was a gentle ramp, and the screams just now were the screams of the defenders buried on the ramp by the collapsed city wall.

A gap with a width of more than ten feet appeared on Shenglong City, and there was also a ramp that could climb up to the top of the city on foot, which immediately made the people on the top of the city shout loudly!

"Advance the eight-pound gun! Change the shot! The infantry is ready to enter the city!"

The commanders of the people in the city shouted loudly, and the trumpeters either communicated with each other with the sound of the trumpets, or waved the signal flags in their hands.Under the command of the commander, the troops of each battalion and sentry began to slowly adjust their formation. The artillerymen quickly put the horses on the artillery carts, shook their whips and dragged the artillery closer to the city wall. Brothers in the infantry provide better artillery cover!

Two Kroner cannons are also among them.

The artillery was advanced to a position about [-] steps away from the city wall, and the gunners loaded the cannonballs. They wanted to wipe out all the enemies who dared to block their progress for the brothers who were about to enter the city!

"Fire!"

The Caron Cannon fired first, and forty thumb-sized shotguns formed a metal storm, rushing towards the city!Then came cloud after cloud of eight-pounders.These shotguns tightly sealed the roads on both sides of the gap, killing all objects and life that dared to block their way forward.

"Brothers! Listen! Our Master Zheng Zhang killed Li thief Li Shouhan. These Nanzhong thieves will definitely slaughter the city if they come in! If you don't want to die, let me guard it!"

"I don't want your money to become someone else's, and I don't want your woman to become someone else's, so let me do my best!"

"We are all relatives of the emperor's hometown. Once the city is broken, will we still have us?! If you don't want to die, just follow me!"

The officers of the guard army at the top of the city lowered their heads to avoid the rain of bullets below the city, and at the same time shouted and shouted loudly on the city to encourage the soldiers under them.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

A burst of drumming, passionate and strong, came from the Nanzhong Army formation.With the sound of drums, the formation of the South China Army began to move rapidly towards the city.

"kill!"

Under the guidance of officers at all levels acknowledging the flag, the formation of the South Central Army quickly hit the slope formed by the collapsed city wall. Thousands of people rushed here almost at the same time, and the gap more than one foot wide seemed very narrow. .

"Quick! Rush up!"

What Wang Bao saw from his clairvoyance made him very anxious. The troops were piled up near the breach. If he could not quickly climb to the top of the city and control the breach, once the Zheng family's army woke up from the blow brought to them by the artillery fire, they could quickly control it. If a breakthrough is made and a large number of troops and defensive equipment are invested here, then it is possible that not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but the troops will also cause huge casualties.

Several sentinels who rushed to the bottom of the city first, met their heads briefly under the city, and then made a division of labor: the musketeers lined up at a distance of about [-] steps below the city, and fired continuously on both sides of the breakthrough until they reached the top of the city. Until you see the banner of the South China Army, the sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the pike soldiers are guarding the two wings, and quickly climb to the city!

A dozen or so sword and shield soldiers who charged stepped on the noisy soil below their feet, and had just rushed through the corner with the city wall. At this moment, from the right side of the city wall, a flash of fire flashed.

A six-pound bronze cannon was dragged here by several guard officers at some point, and it aimed at the soldiers who were ascending the city and opened fire suddenly.

Fiery cannonballs hit from the side, hitting the body of a sword and shield soldier in the middle, and then smashed the calf of a long-armored man next to him, leaving only half of his white bone. After causing several casualties, the shell rolled along the city wall and fell to nowhere.

The charging people paused for a moment, then shouted again, "Kill!"

Soon, sword and shield soldiers and long spearmen swarmed up, firmly controlling the entire breakthrough, and the guards of the Zheng family army on both sides rushed from the two wings, intending to drive the Nanzhong army who had just climbed to the top of the city. .

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The pikemen found that the soldiers of the old guard army coming from the opposite side were all holding five-meter spears. They didn't care about talking, and they all joined the enemy under the leadership of their respective armor commanders. A simple and weak formation was at the breakthrough. The sides formed quickly!

"kill-----!"

The pikemen of the two armies rushed towards each other with their pikes held flat!

The same spear, the same armor, the competition is their own will and technology!

puff puff!

Although the bone-chilling voice was deep and deep, it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. There was no skill of dodging and retreating, no tricks, it was just one movement, advancing and stabbing!

Eye!throat!face the door!

For the Gunners on both sides, the preferred target is here.However, his normal training level was revealed at this life-and-death moment.In the training of the South Central Army, the team officers and armor leaders would often lead the soldiers to shout such slogans loudly at the beginning and end of the training: "The commander is sympathetic, the military law is ruthless, and the battlefield is ruthless!" Soldiers practice hard. If they want to come back from the battlefield alive and enjoy this wonderful life, they must practice the speed of shooting the gun, the precision of stabbing the target, and the endurance of shooting a thousand shots in a row each time.

The current military system of the South Central Army consists of standing soldiers, mobilized soldiers, and strong men. The strong men who receive military training during the slack period will be given military pay or food subsidies every month during the training period. The conscripts are recruited on the basis of strong men according to the standard of one armor and one soldier. They receive one tael or six money a month, and no rice is given. If it is lower than the average level of Jiazhong, the head of Jia will be deprived of his position, and all households in Jia will take out rice grains to make up for the shortfall.As for the armor chiefs in the army, they receive three or two or four dollars of silver every month, and ten stones for rice tickets.

As for the gunners of the army and the sailors of the navy, the salaries are even higher.

A captain of the sword and shield soldier, while organizing his brothers to line up to meet the pike soldier brothers who had completed the first round of fighting, went back to the formation to rest, while shouting loudly, "Boys! Have you received all the military pay for this month?! "

"Take it!"

The sword and shield soldiers around him roared in unison.

"If you get it, follow me and beat up the guys on the opposite side, nainai! How dare you plot against my parents! Brothers, what should I do!"

"Straight mother thief! Kill!"

The sword and shield soldiers opened a gap to let the comrades who were tired from fighting in front retreat into the formation to rest. After completing this action, the sword and shield soldiers quickly closed and moved the line forward a few steps, so as to better Meet the teammates in front.

The old guards were still rushing from the two wings. Looking from the city wall, one could vaguely see the canopy of Huang Luo not far away. It turned out that Emperor Zheng personally supervised the battle, no wonder he was so desperate for his life.

Several soldiers of the Zhengjiasu Guard Army who were afraid of the spears of the South China Army turned around and were about to run away. Several officers rushed up from behind, "Fleeing in front of the battle, ungrateful to the Lord! Cut!" These soldiers stabbed to death with long spears, and together they threw the bodies into the Nanzhong Army formation.

Under the strong pressure, the guards on the two wings were like two thick walls, compressing the position of the South Central Army bit by bit. The spearmen kept stabbing their spears, and people were stabbed by the spears In the middle, with a muffled grunt, he sprayed blood and fell to the ground.

"Boys! Get ready!" The commander of the sword and shield soldier roared in a low voice. The pikemen in front of him had retreated into the formation for a short rest, and there was an empty field of seven or eight meters in front of them. Brother Dao is ashamed, don't be sorry for this month's military salary! Don't let parents be driven away because of you!"

"kill!"

The sword and shield soldiers answered their officers with a chorus of shouts.

The left hand held up the hardwood-clad iron shield, and the right hand raised the four-foot-long knife made of nine-turn steel. The sword and shield soldiers were ready to attack.

"Quick! Quick!"

On the ramp, the gunners of the two Kron guns shook the whips in their hands and lashed the horses fiercely. However, the ramp was too noisy, and the three-kilo Kron guns sank deeply into the soil with every step forward. However, the four draft horses also sank deeply into the soil every time they took a step.All four legs were covered in dust and someone's blood.

Several pikemen jumped down from the top of the city, picked up the wooden shield that was discarded by someone, and placed it in front of the wheels of the cannon cart. Several people alternately switched the shields, and the wheels of the cannon cart crushed the shield and rumbled. ring.The draft horses immediately felt relieved after receiving such help, and rushed to the top of the wall with a few strides.

On the city, the sword and shield soldiers had already fought with the pike soldiers of the Zheng family's old guard.

An inch is long and an inch is strong. In the battle with spearmen, sword and shield soldiers do not have an advantage. Only some sword and shield soldiers who have mastered the skill of breaking spears with shields can dodge the stabbing of spears and follow the path of spears. He quickly bullied the pikemen, and then cut off the pikeman's head with a single blow. However, there were not many such swordsmen, and the casualty rate of the swordsmen increased rapidly under the stabbing of the pikemen of the Zheng family guards.

Only a group of veterans headed by Jiachang continued to fight there.

With the sound of a horn, another group of pikemen rushed forward with their guns, replacing the sword and shield soldiers. When the sword and shield soldiers had just retreated to the main formation, the pikemen also covered alternately and retreated to the Nanzhong Army formation.

Zheng Jiajun's morale was immediately boosted!

Slowly approach the front line.

Prepare to completely drive the Nanzhong Army down the city!

Right now!

The sword and shield soldiers used their lives to buy time for the follow-up troops. Two Cron guns, six eight-pound guns, and four twelve-pound guns have been loaded. The twelve guns are arranged on both sides, and only one is waiting. Just the right time.

"fire!"

Huang Acheng, the artillery battalion officer who followed the cannon into the city, waved the command flag in his hand.

Both sides of the Nanzhong Army's formation suddenly shot out flames and dense projectiles.

On the front line with a distance of less than 100 meters between the two sides, on the city wall that was less than three feet wide, the South China Army unilaterally and frantically deployed six large and small artillery pieces. , so that the artillery had to be slightly staggered.

In such a small space, what kind of effect will the dense shotguns have on the two wings of the Zheng family's guards, which number thousands of people?

As you can imagine!

The shotgun shells fired by the most powerful cron cannon first penetrated the formation of the old guard army, beating dozens of soldiers in the forefront to bloody flesh, and then, those projectiles that were slightly weakened penetrated into the formation of the guards, and followed closely behind. The body of the soldier behind.It would be better if the people who were hit by the shotgun were killed immediately, but the most fatal ones were those who were hit in the body but couldn't die for a while, moaning and howling in pain on the ground, it was horrible.

The nodular cast iron armor on his body is like a piece of white paper in front of the shells fired by the artillery fired at close range, which can be broken with a poke.Thumb-sized, peanut-thick shells hit people's bodies no less than heavy machine gun bullets.

In the formation of the old guard army, a series of passages of flesh and blood suddenly appeared.

The smoke produced by the shooting of the cron guns has not dissipated, and the eight-pound guns and twelve-pound guns also joined in the fun. The cannonballs fired by the two rounds of artillery almost completely enveloped the space within the range of 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. It seemed to see the projectiles colliding in the air, pushing each other into various objects that stood in their way.

Only when the gunpowder smoke dissipated did people see clearly the effect of this round of shooting.

From 100 meters away from the South Central Army, to 200 meters away, the human corpses are piled up in a haphazard manner like chopping firewood. The blood, human body, and parts that cannot be seen as internal organs are hit by bullets. People who have been reduced to pieces, severed hands and feet can be seen everywhere, it seems that this place is no longer the human world, but the flesh and blood mill described in the Buddhist scriptures, a Shura hell!

Looking east and west from the position of the South Central Army, the dead and the wounded who were still moaning and struggling were lying on the ground at a distance of about 100 meters between the two sides. The rain almost passed over their noses, allowing them to witness such a strange and bloody scene, so that decades later, when they are very old, they still have topics to talk about in front of others. boast.

"My life was recovered from the Thang Long City Tou Ke Long Cannon shells!"

On the outermost side of the Zheng family's guard formation, there are no more neat human body parts, and there are pieces of minced meat and pale bones everywhere.The dense rain of bullets and powerful penetrating power completely smashed the outermost living body into pieces.

On the inner front, one can find relatively complete corpses. Compared with the people on the outside, one can distinguish where is the head, where is the torso, and where are the limbs.No body is complete.

Only at the innermost side of the formation, people will accidentally find one or two wounded who are still groaning in the pile of corpses. They are the last lucky ones. The shotgun passed through the bodies of countless people, and when they reached them, It was the last force, so they were lucky to be one of the few survivors.But life is worse than death. The impact of the shotgun broke their bones, ligaments, and blood vessels. Even if they survived, they lost the most basic ability to work, and they would not even have the strength to reach out to ask for money. .

The rain of bullets from the Kron gun penetrated the entire formation, and the 2000-pound and [-]-pound guns cleaned the formation of the Zhengjiasu Guards twice.The formation that was originally used for hand-to-hand combat was dense and thick, but it didn't want to become the best place for the shotgun to exert its power.Nearly [-] people became sacrifices to the Kron cannon in this round of artillery fire.

People had just woken up from the cruel scene in front of them, and there were bursts of shrill shouts suddenly erupting from the formation of the guards in the distance, which didn't sound like human voices.

"escape--!"

"Run away——!"

Zheng Huangye looked blankly at the defeated soldiers swarming in front of him, and ran all the way, throwing away the swords and guns in his hands, what's more, he even took off his armor and threw it aside, just wanting to be lighter and able to Run faster.

The crowd knocked Zheng Bing's solemn and majestic guard of honor to one side or another, and even the imperial guards who served as guards joined the fleeing crowd when they saw that the situation was not going well.Emperor Zheng was about to show his emperor's majesty to stop him by shouting and cursing, the crowd had already wrapped him and his guards and fled to the city together.

The horse path in the lower city was filled with all kinds of defensive equipment and supplies. These supplies were feared not enough before, but now they have become obstacles on the way for the collapsed army to escape. Many people were rushed from the city by the crowd Squeeze up and down, fall down under the city, and those who are trampled on the ground inadvertently, immediately see countless big feet stepping down in the air, at first they can struggle a few times, and after a while they become silent No interest.

The Nanzhong Army didn't care about chasing and killing these retreating enemy troops. What they had to do was to open the gates of the city, let more comrades in, control the city, and then expand the results of the battle.

Some soldiers waved their knives and guns, trying to cut a bloody path behind the retreating Zhengjiasu guards, rushed to the bottom of the city and opened the city gate.Helpless, there were too many retreating soldiers, and it was still impossible to open the passage, which could only exacerbate the chaos of the retreating soldiers.

"Jump! Jump!"

Huang Acheng, the highest-ranking officer in the city, saw that the routs were gradually gathering below the city, and his eyes were burning and sweating all over his body. He knew that once these guys gathered together to restore the organizational system, there would be more brutal battles waiting for him.

He pulled out the short-fired gun at his waist, roared, "Follow me!" and jumped down from the top of the city.Dozens of South China Army soldiers jumped from the top of the city behind them.

Fortunately, although Huang Acheng was dizzy from the huge impact, he moved his legs and found that there was no serious problem. He immediately held a short firecracker in one hand and his recognition flag in the other, and shouted loudly to gather around The people rushed towards the nearest city gate!

madman!A bunch of lunatics!Su Weijun, who had already been beaten to death, saw such a group of people jumping from the top of the city, but they were not killed. On the contrary, they rushed towards him with swords and flags. They knelt down one after another when they had no courage to fight. He fell to the ground and begged for surrender.

No one cared about them, Huang Acheng led a dozen people straight to the city gate.

The city gate hole was filled in a mess with huge trees and boulders.

The city gate has been blocked.

"Quick! Go find the powder keg!"

Seeing so many earthworks and rocks, it is absolutely difficult for my dozen or so people to move them away in a short time.Huang Acheng decided to take the most dangerous but also the simplest and most effective method, blasting!

Several soldiers found two barrels of gunpowder, and the gunpowder barrels were stamped with labels, proving their Nanzhong blood.

"My lord, there are our own brothers in the city!" A pikeman approached Huang Acheng who was throwing gunpowder to act as a line of medicine. "With so much gunpowder, you might hurt your own people!"

"I can't take care of it!" Huang Acheng tilted his head to signal him to look not far away, where the officers of the old guard army were trying to reorganize the defeated soldiers.Below the ramp, soldiers of the Suwei Army began to fight with the soldiers of the South Central Army who were chasing them.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Huang Acheng had a good grasp of the dose of the gunpowder, and the power of the gunpowder explosion sent the earth and rocks filled in the city gate flying around, making the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic.

"Your Majesty!" An officer scrambled to Zheng Bing, "Please get on your horse quickly, Your Majesty! The city can no longer be defended!"

"Where are you going?"

"Your Majesty, we can escort you out of the city first and board the boat on the bank of the Red River. Where are the only few small boats of the South China Army in the Red River? We can break through! Your Majesty!"

"Once we leave the city, the dragon will enter the sea. We can gather troops and horses to fight Li thief again outside Shenglong! If it doesn't work, we can go north to Beijing City to file an imperial complaint against Li Shouhan for opening the border provoke!"

Zheng Bing was slightly pondering, but a burst of cheers came from not far away, but it was Huang Acheng and others who had already blasted away the huge civil stones that blocked the city gate, and along with it, opened a huge crack in the city tower, the city gate was opened, and the outside Soldiers of the Southern Central Army poured into the city like a flood that burst a dike.

"Your Majesty! Let's go!" Several officers and ministers surrounded Lord Zheng on his horse, and rushed along the street surrounded by a group of defeated soldiers.

At this time, the streets of Thang Long have become a bloody battlefield and a hell on earth.

Fighting battlefields are everywhere, and there are stragglers of the guards breaking open doors in some relatively remote streets and alleys to break into the residents' houses to rob, rape and kill. screams and cries.

"My ascending dragon!"

Emperor Zheng couldn't help shedding two lines of tears right away, he never thought that such a strong city would be breached within less than a day of defense.

"Your Majesty! The outer city has been lost. We will go to the inner city immediately, pick up the princes and concubines, and then go to Qinghua, the western capital, to regroup and make a comeback!"

"That's good! Today I temporarily suffered the shame of defeat. When I arrived in Qinghua, I tried my best to rebuild my army. I don't know whose family is in Nanzhong!"

"I will go to the bank of the Red River to arrange a boat for His Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!"

A minister led his servants and servants away with whips.

A group of people rode their horses and rushed through 61 neighborhoods built by the Li Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty, and 36 neighborhoods when the Le Dynasty was built, and came to the Forbidden City where the Royal Palace is located.On the way, from time to time, waves of defeated soldiers and the South China Army rushed out from the streets and alleys, and Emperor Zheng couldn't help being frightened.

Finally, the princes and concubines of the Zheng court were escorted out of the Forbidden City by the ministers. A group of thousands of people panicked like bereaved dogs, messed up like fish slipping through the net, and went straight to the north gate of Shenglong City.They planned to go straight to the bank of the Red River from here, or cross the river, or go west along the river.

The situation at the north gate was not bad, it was quiet here, obviously, the defenders had heard the news of the defeat at the south gate, and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Your Majesty! The outer city of Shenglong has a radius of tens of miles, and there are few bandits in the south, so they can only besiege one side. The north gate is only here. The ministers will protect the lord and break out of the encirclement!"

An officer vowed to demonstrate his utter loyalty.

The scouts in front of the team have already passed the city gate, and in front of them is the sea of ​​dragons and the forest of fierce tigers!Emperor Zheng couldn't help but whipped the mount under his crotch severely, and crashed straight into the darkness of the city gate.

When his eyes hadn't adjusted to the field of vision that suddenly darkened and then quickly brightened, a burst of gunshots rang out not far away.Several scouts ran back covered in blood.

From the east and west sides outside the north gate, a sentry sentry came out from each side. The two troops met in front of Zheng Huangye's team and quickly formed a formation.

On both sides of the banners of the South China Army, standing side by side are Wang Bao and Mo Yu.Just now the minister who had vowed to find ships for Emperor Zheng on the bank of the Red River stood in front of their horses with a smile on his face and spoke.

"Where is Mr. Zheng going? My lord wants to take care of my mistress's funeral, so I can't come to visit, so I'm specially ordered to meet you here, and tell me, I must invite Prince Zheng to the funeral of my mistress. I'll be here for a long time Waiting, fortunately not disgraceful!"

Mo Yu in front of her spoke with a smile.

"Ah! God wants to kill me! It's beyond human power!"

Emperor Zheng pulled out the saber from his waist, "Back then I laughed at the Ruan family, made trouble for Xiao Qiang, and was betrayed by my son, but unexpectedly, I am doing the same today!"

The sword in his hand suddenly strangled between the neck.

On the day when Shenglong attacked the city, Zheng Bing led the clan and ministers out of the north gate to Qinghua, but was intercepted by Wang Baomoyu's troops, and Zheng Bing committed suicide.

Shenglong recovers.

I originally wanted to double update, but it was too troublesome to think about it later.Simply put the [-] words together. If you enjoy watching it, please support it!Thanks!
