Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Both Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing were taken aback. They had already received information that there were not many artillery pieces in the city.

Even if there are some artillery, there is not much ammunition. What is going on today, and there are not many defensive troops. Could there be a major intelligence error?

Li Zicheng's face darkened, and he looked at Niu Jinxing:

"Military division, your internal information is unreliable, what should we do now?"

Niu Jinxing laughed loudly:

"Don't worry, the emperor. There are not many troops in the city. They are all remnants and defeated generals. There are no shells. He ordered Liu Zongmin to change his formation to avoid the shelling and continue to attack."

"Yes"

The messenger immediately passed Niu Jinxing's order to Liu Zongmin:

"Report to the general, and the military adviser instructed that there are not many shells in the city, so don't worry, change the formation and attack the city strongly."

"Change Nima, good you Niu Jinxing, you won't have back pain while standing and talking, I'm here to work hard, Nima is drinking in the back, wait for me to capture the capital, and see how this general will deal with you."

Liu Zongmin is not even afraid of Li Zicheng, let alone Niu Jinxing, who has saved Li Zicheng's life many times before.

He even killed his two wives in order to follow Li Zicheng.first launch.. ..

While cursing Niu Jinxing, he looked up at the hundred red cannons on the capital city, and Liu Zongmin wiped the cold sweat off his head.

"Pass my order, advance in a one-word formation, quickly advance to the capital city, forcibly ascend the city, the first to climb to the top of the city, after breaking the city, the woman is up to you to choose."

The Chuang army is not only a peasant army, but also some rogues, who have experienced many massacres.

After hearing Liu Zongmin's promise, the team quickly turned into dozens of long teams, all forming a sub-shape and continuing to rush forward.

There were about 10 troops in this siege, and most of them were recruits, that is, cannon fodder.

They attacked the city with infantry, and the cavalry waited behind to attack. Although they charged in a straight line, from the top of the city, they were densely packed with people.

Qi Jiguang was the commander-in-chief of the city defense. Seeing the formation of the Chuang army, he immediately understood Liu Zongmin's intentions, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Jiguang's mouth.

"Command, change the shells.

"Yes"

The blooming ammunition was exchanged by Zhu Youjian from the system mall last night, about 5. Because the army of rogues changed, the original shells were much less lethal.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion immediately began to load the cannons with explosive ammunition, and as Qi Jiguang waved the command flag:

"fire"

"Rumble..."

Fifty cannons rang again, and bullets exploded not far from the Chuangjun. They didn't take it seriously at the beginning, and they thought it was the previous shells.

But after the bombs exploded, these intruders were miserable. After the explosive shells exploded, gunpowder and debris flew around, killing a large area.

Even if they changed their formation, they still couldn't avoid the tyrannical bombardment of the bombs. The wolves who were bombed again broke into the army, crying and howling, screaming continuously, and people fell down in rows.

After several rounds of bombardment by hundreds of cannons, there were nearly 1 casualties, but they did not flinch, and continued to carry the ladder to the city.

Seeing so many casualties under his command, Liu Zhongmin screamed in anger. While scolding Niu Jinxing, he also swore that once the capital was broken, he would absolutely bloodbath the capital of Ming Dynasty and avenge his brothers.

The Chuang army also had firearms and red cannons, all of which were disarmed from the Ming army.

But the amount that can be used is not very large, and the gunpowder is not enough, so it is easy to use it until the critical time.

After paying the price of nearly [-] casualties, the Chuang army finally rushed to the range of the bow and arrow. Liu Zongmin gave an order, and the Chuang army began to shoot at the city with bows and arrows.

The distance was too close, and the artillery almost lost its effect. Qi Jiguang waved the command flag again:

"Stop the bombardment. The new army is ready to shoot firearms. The Shenji Battalion is ready to explode. Once the enemy gets close to the city wall, hit me hard."

"Decree"

A shower of arrows came, and the soldiers immediately rushed to everyone with their shields in hand, and used their shields to block the arrows from the city.

Chapter 13 Victory in the First Battle

Rogues are not good at archery, and the strength of bows and arrows is not very great.Many of the shots to the top of the city were almost exhausted, and they were all caught by the shield wall one after another. There were almost no casualties among the defenders.

He has always been bad at siege warfare, positional warfare is the rogue's favorite tactic, and Sun Chuanting died in positional warfare.

The rogues who attacked the city were all infantry, and they were all prepared for the siege. The cavalry did not move at all behind, and only when the city gate was opened, they began to rush together.

Zhu Youjian watched the fierce siege with all his attention. Suddenly, a group of people rushed to the top of the city, men, women, children, and everyone, and were stopped by soldiers immediately.

The commander-in-chief of the new army stepped forward and shouted:

"Who? Everyone retreat, this is an important military location, otherwise everyone will die."

Seeing the guns aimed at them by the soldiers, the people who came all stopped, but they were still shouting:

"Officer, let us go up quickly, we are here to guard the city, otherwise Daming will be finished if the city is destroyed, we will live and die with Daming."

"Defend the city? Are you kidding me?"

Although the commander was also infected by the loyalty of these people, he still hesitated when he saw these people. There were all kinds of people, men, women, old and young.

He didn't dare to make a decision, and hurriedly reported to Zhu Youjian:

"Report to the emperor, many people have come, and they want to go to the top of the city to defend the city."

"Oh, who are these people?"

Zhu Youjian felt strange, turned around and walked in front of the group of people, his heart warmed, and he couldn't help being moved.

According to historical records, when the capital city was broken, there were no people guarding the city at all, perhaps referring to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and some Jinyiwei.

Today, these people are almost all eunuchs and court ladies, and there is no record in history.

I saw a large group of eunuchs and maids, more than 200 people, all holding weapons.

Some court ladies obviously lacked martial arts, and they staggered a bit when walking while carrying spears.

Although most of the people who came here were powerless.

But all the eunuchs and maids dared to come, and they all had a heart of loyalty. This was the only person in the capital who was willing to help Zhu Youjian.

The eunuchs themselves were slaves of the emperor, and their path came to an end when the Ming Dynasty collapsed, but civil and military officials were different, they could sell their masters for glory and beg for mercy.

The maids and eunuchs of Qianqing Palace were all driven away by Emperor Chongzhen the day before yesterday. These eunuchs and eunuchs must be from other palaces, and Zhu Youjian has almost never seen them.
