Chapter 529 Attack
It is really not difficult to blast open the city.

On the fourth day, when the sky was dark, three cannons were fired from the south of Baigu City, and twelve small flag arrows shot up to the east and west sides of the sky and exploded, sending a siege signal.

The unprepared Burmese army was suddenly awakened at the top of the city, and then the artillery that adjusted the angle as early as in the daytime fired at once, blasting open the Baigunan city gate that had been rested for a while, and the vanguard officer of Chen Mujun, Lou Qimai, took the lead to attack Enter the urn city.

In just one stick of incense, all three doors were broken.

Blocking the gate of Lou Qimai's urn was also uncomfortable. The flag army brought the big shield and shot the stone and pushed the two-pound cannon close to the city gate and released it, breaking the heavy door bolt. Tang Reyou had no time to prepare, so he could only use sheep stones, wood and other defensive equipment to defend against the enemy, but this could not cause any harm to the Lou Qimai army who had penetrated into the city gate.

There were a few more cannon shots, and the Qianjin Gate remained motionless except for a few large holes, so Lou Qimai had no choice but to back out. He commanded the sergeant to climb around from the nearest nearby ladder and blast the Qianjin Gate with gunpowder cartridges. Everyone knows this can't work.

But in Lou Qimai, this is the attitude.

Chen Mu did not personally attack the city, but commanded various ministries outside the city to storm the gate tower with ladders. Compared with the Wengcheng Gate, which cannot be broken by artillery, it is easier to build ladders from outside the city.

The bombardment over the past few days has reduced the number of parapets on the city by half, especially the gate tower is even more flat, and the musketeers below the city can directly shoot at the defenders on the city, reducing the burden on the siege troops. The jumping flag army with short knives and hatchets quickly broke through the passage. When the bird gunners boarded the majestic city of Myanmar, they were able to officially announce that the city gate had changed hands.

Without a wall to block, the Burmese army could not stop the pace of the banner army's blunderbuss team.

"Report! General Deng of Dongcheng City has captured the top of the city and is attacking Urn City!"

Deng Zilong is still Deng Zilong, he is not as cowardly as Chen Mu. Seeing that the first round of siege army was frustrated, he personally drew his sword and led his family to the top of the city. The enemy was invincible, and before Lou Qimai let go of the Qianjin Gate of the Wengcheng, he took down the gate tower, and captured the Wengcheng in an instant.

With joy on his face, Chen Mu asked the Commander Banner Army, "Did you attack the city with General Deng?"

If the messenger was the Banner Army who attacked the city with Deng Zilong, and sent the order after taking down the gate tower, Deng Zilong might have already taken the Wengcheng together by this time.

"Back to Commander, no, General Deng gave us an order before the battle to watch from outside the city. The general seized the tower, captured the urn city, entered the city and then reported to the general!"

"Understood, let's go down, General Deng is brave, the banner army who took down the Wengcheng is probably on the way!"

Informing the Banner Army of Lou Qimai's offensive progress and ordering the Banner Army to go back and wait for the news, Chen Mu looked back to the south of the city. The building launched an impact on the east and west sides.

The sky was a little brighter, the sun pierced white light in the east, but there was no sign of the sun yet, and the fires of the bird guns and the explosion of the palm thunder on the city were still very conspicuous. It was easy to see that the general situation was on the side of the Ming army. The army is invincible.

The defenders on the city are fighting and retreating towards the southeast and southwest corners.

The commander Huang Dexiang was on the city. Chen Mu could only listen to the reports from the messengers who were running around, but could not intuitively see the status of Lou Qimai's troops who were ordered to attack the Wengcheng.

Outside the moat, Shao Tingda, who was covering his head, put on the iron pocket. The bump on his forehead that was swollen and the helmet still hurt him so much that he grinned his teeth. He asked Chen Mu for the third time, "Brother Mu, let me go. It's almost broken!"

Mang Chong was anxious and angry: This is a great city, I was the first to see it, and I was also the first to enter it, but because of a big bump on my head, do I want to go with his cowardly brother? Last in town?
He is not happy!

His elder brother is the Nanyang minister who controls the current situation, so he is invulnerable. How embarrassing is he to enter the city with Chen Mu?

Chen Mu didn't deliberately prevent Mang Chong from attacking the city, nor was he afraid that Mang Chong would have an accident on the city. He fought honestly. It is very difficult for senior generals to die on the battlefield.

He just didn't want Mang Chong to take the lead again.

The prerequisite for the commander not to die is to fight honestly and not to take the lead.

In the battle outside the city, Mang Chong and the two departments had made enough merits. He smiled at Shao Tingda, raised his whip and pointed to the gate tower in the northwest corner: "Did you see that gate tower?"

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, Shao Tingda knew what it meant, and clasped his fists together and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll dismantle it for you!"

The Minister of Nanyang waved his hand and ordered, and the flag army who had already been ordered by Mang Chong to line up at the front of the moat and set up a bird gun towards the city immediately lined up, set up a ladder and rushed towards the city.

Shao Tingda's men raised their weapons and ran in formation, but before they reached the city gate, messengers from Bai Yuanjie's and Deng Zilong's men arrived one after another.

It didn't surprise Chen Mu that Deng Zilong won the Wengcheng, but Bai Yuanjie's message was interesting.

Bai Yuanjie directly skipped the attack on the city gate tower, where the Baigu River was guarding. Previously, the flag army blocked the river, so he didn't pay attention to the only one of the four gates with a suspension bridge outside the city, but he didn't expect the enemy troops to deploy under the bridge. Put gunpowder and blow up the suspension bridge at the beginning of the war.

It took them a lot of effort to build a way out with wooden ladders, and the Ximen defenders had time to prepare to defend the city, causing his subordinates to suffer a lot of damage below the city, and they have not captured the gate tower until now.

However, Brother Jingchen is also a ruthless character. After the cannon opened the city gate, he directly moved the ladder to the Wengcheng. His subordinate Hu Liangpeng was the first to climb up the gate tower of the Wengcheng, and opened the Qianjin gate. The man hurried down again, ordered his subordinates to fire guns on the steps in the city to stop the enemy, and personally led the army to fight bloody on the city wall.

Therefore, the news sent by Bai Yuanjie was that they had captured the Wengcheng, and the west gate could directly enter the city.

Shao Tingda's men boarded the tower to make up for the deadlock of Huang Dexiang's men. When the sun rose, Chen Mu saw the Ming Dynasty Xianglong flag flying from the tower in the southwest corner of the city.

Mang Chong succeeded!
At this point in the battle, Chen Mu stepped on the tall horse, walked forward with the horse, raised his right palm and pushed forward slowly.

The Tianchao Boundless Banner stands up, the left banner writes to the Nanyang military government, the right banner writes to the left governor Chen, and the military guards who have been waiting for a long time march in line with the bird guns with good thorns. In the long formation, the banner officers either carry or hold Or a helmet gun to stir up the flags of Ming Dynasty.

The 33 artillery teams directly under the generals were deployed by the moat, and the generals ordered the artillery that had already adjusted their angles to blast into the city at high angles one by one.

With the help of Mang Yingli, there were no more people in the city due to the influx of refugees who had fled in droves a few days ago.

He didn't know how much will the soldiers in Mangyingli still have to fight, or that some people had already fled to the north of the city, or how bad the situation in Mangyingli was was not important to Chen Mu.

If you can't make the enemy worse, this snow will be meaningless.

He added fire to the deserters in Mangyingli.

In front of the Army Banner Guard Army that followed Chen Mu and marched towards the South Urn City, the soldiers pushed up the carriages of various colors. There were eight remaining Shenwei mechanism arrows, and the rest were filled with tiger squatting guns, powder barrels, and gunpowder barrels. Together with Zhang Xinlei, they drove into the Wengcheng which had been captured by the Ming army.

"Isn't it street fighting?" Chen Mu took a deep breath, his helmeted and armored body swayed slightly with the kick of the mount, he took a deep breath: "Come on!"
