Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 190 Battle Jiang Ning
"Your Highness, do you want to wait for the follow-up troops from the Independent Brigade to arrive before launching an attack on Tianfu?" Ma Zouri asked.

Bai Mingxiu shook his head and said, "The morale is high. Although our marine troops are not large, it is not a problem to break through an outer city wall and establish a stronghold."

Jiangning City is one of the largest cities in China. It has a complete city defense system and a long outer wall. After conquering the outer city, there is still the main city. Bai Mingxiu's plan is to occupy the outer city first, and then gradually attack the inside of the city.He has not many troops now, and his attack is a bit stretched, but he has occupied a section of the city wall and some strongholds in the outer gate, which is enough to hold and wait for reinforcements.

"Notify all ships to start shelling." Bai Mingxiu calmly gave orders.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army formed a tight battle line on the river, and aimed the ship's sides at the Nanjing City Wall.At this time, the Qing army on the city wall saw the gun doors open one after another, and they all panicked.

"A lot of cannons!" When the soldiers of the Qing army saw the muzzles, they couldn't help but squat their waists, hoping that the thick city walls could protect them.

The action of the Ming army is really too fast. They just broke through Guazhou yesterday, and today their ships have already arrived outside Jiangning city.

The officers of the Qing army on the city wall originally encouraged the Qing soldiers not to worry. The Ming army only came with some ships, and there was no siege equipment at all. It would take at least several days of preparation before they could attack the city.Before Zheng Chenggong attacked Nanjing City, it was almost the same number of ways. First, he besieged the city and then attacked.

However, the Qing army did not adapt to Bai Mingxiu's routine at all. After all, Bai Mingxiu came from later generations, and many of his ideas were not bound by the thinking of people of this era. As long as his Great Ming Restoration Army can be realized, he will urge the army to go with astonishing Efficiency in carrying out his orders.Just like the battleship of the Ming army arrived in Nanjing, Bai Mingxiu mobilized and demanded a siege operation.

No officer or soldier of the Qing army here had ever seen hundreds of cannons carried by warships firing at them. No one knew what this meant.

As the commander's raised hand fell, the artillery on the Zionist Navy warships fired.Thick green smoke and fire covered half of the ship, and a large number of shells flew and landed on the city wall.The Qing soldiers lying on the city wall felt that when the city wall was hit, it was like an earthquake. Their bodies kept shaking and they were very uncomfortable.What was even more unlucky was that the Qing soldiers who were hit by the shells directly grazed the top of the city wall and were blown to pieces.

The artillery of the Ming army is mainly solid ammunition, and its destructive power against the city wall is not the best in the existing technology, but it has already caused significant damage to the city wall of Jiangning.

Bai Mingxiu tilted his head and said to the calm and girlish Lion Sister next to him, "If they make such a bombardment, I think some ammunition will be wasted, otherwise, Lion Sister, go ahead, the prince is here to wave the flag for you."

Sister Lion smiled and covered her mouth lightly. During the movement, she could see her chest tightly held by her uniform. Bai Mingxiu tried to focus his eyes on her face.

"Okay, as you wish, Your Highness."

Before, Bai Mingxiu didn't let Sister Lion directly appear on the battlefield as support firepower, but the 50mm main gun with 406% power is still quite fierce.

Sister Lion directly summoned his three triple-mounted floating turrets, and she didn't know if she was aiming at the city wall seriously, but she just blinked at Bai Mingxiu: "Dear Your Highness, I need you to feed me later. .”

Bai Mingxiu was already used to her provocative way of speaking, so he slapped his chest and said, "Leave it to me."

Sister Shi's charming smile was as sweet as a silver bell, but in the next moment, the ship lady raised the muzzles of nine giant cannons and fired at the walls of Jiangning City's Wai Guo!
The powerful bombardment hit a section of the city wall directly. There was no room for resistance at all, and this section of the city wall collapsed immediately. A large amount of masonry and soil collapsed and tilted directly into the river.There are actually four gaps in the entire city wall.

Bai Mingxiu wiped his nose, unbuttoned the first button of his military uniform, and said, "Comrades from the Red Police Battalion, are you ready, attack the city!"

Those who followed Bai Mingxiu in the vanguard were the Red Police Battalion led by You Long.As Bai Mingxiu's strongest combat force and the highest-technical unit, although this battalion-level unit has only about [-] combatants, it is not difficult to face an enemy force ten times its own on neutral terrain. There will be any wavering.

This time, Bai Mingxiu also wanted to lead the troops to fight in person. After all, it was a bit unreasonable not to use his 101 physical strength.It's just that Bai Mingxiu won't let Zheng Chenggong, Gu Yanwu and the others know. If they know that His Royal Highness is rushing forward like Brother General, they will definitely go crazy.Bai Mingxiu also went directly to another ship, claiming to be in command of the battle, but actually changed into a military uniform, pretending to be a soldier from the Red Police Battalion, and went to fight together.

The small sampans on which the soldiers of the Red Police Battalion were sitting were lowered one by one. Several frigates had already approached the city wall, and the sailors on them had set up M2 heavy machine guns one after another. The Red Police Battalion covered fire, and the gunners continued to attack.

In fact, after the city wall collapsed just now, the Qing army on the city was scared out of their wits. The living Qing soldiers retreated from the city wall one after another, and even gave up the defense of the outer gate and retreated to the main city.

Lying on the sampan with a very low posture, the soldiers of the Red Police Battalion and Bai Mingxiu quickly rowed to the shore, jumped out of the sampan and landed.The place is already in a mess, with the ruins of the city wall and the corpses of the Qing soldiers. The Ming army directly crossed this area and entered the city through the gap in the city wall.

The Ming army holding assault rifles was absolutely unstoppable, but the real situation was that after the earth-shattering bombardment just now, no one from the Qing soldiers even ran out to stop the Ming army attacking the outer country.

You Long ordered very responsibly: "The 1st company, 2nd platoon, and 3rd platoon occupy the city wall and establish a temporary stronghold, and the rest of the troops are responsible for clearing out the remaining Qing troops in the outer Guo."

Bai Mingxiu rushed in, planning to engage in a firefight with the Qing army, but most of the Qing soldiers he saw ran back towards him with their buttocks facing him.

"Wai Guo doesn't have any heavyweight generals here. According to the prisoners we just captured, they just notified the Jiangning Mansion, and Lang Tingzuo probably hasn't had time to respond at this time." Ma Zouri said to Bai Mingxiu.

Jiangnan Governor Lang Tingzuo, who was in charge of Jiangnan military affairs, was indeed still in the mansion at this time. He only heard the rumble of cannons outside, and only then did the messenger come to report.

"My lord, something is wrong!"
