Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Now the Chuang army is shooting arrows at the top of the city, these people can't come up at all, otherwise there will be casualties, Zhu Youjian hurriedly asked the soldiers to stop all these people.

"Listen to me, everyone, I can understand the mood, but don't come up, all back down, you have no experience in this field at all, you may be shot to death by bows and arrows when you come up." First...

When the group of eunuchs and court ladies saw Zhu Youjian, they all knelt down and cried loudly. Who would have thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would stand at the top of the city and guard the capital himself.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. You can defend the city in person. Of course, we must do our best, whether it's for ourselves or Daming, even if we are smashed to pieces..."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:

"You all go down, my army will definitely be able to defend the capital, if you really want to do your part for Daming, go help those fire-headed troops, they need you even more."

"This... Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Youjian's words were the imperial decree. These people looked up at the mighty army on the top of the city, and they all obediently went to the Huotou army for help. There was no problem with washing and cooking.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

As soon as these people walked down the top of the city, there was another rain of arrows on the top of the city, but most of them were blocked by the shields, and no casualties were caused.

As the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty temporarily appointed by Zhu Youjian, Qi Jiguang looked at those archery bandits with contempt, and couldn't help laughing:

"Rebels, now let you taste the taste of my big open fire guns and flowering bullets, and light the fire."

Qi Jiguang gave an order, and the eight thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion ignited the bombs in their hands one after another in order, and threw them row by row at the rogue army attacking the city.

At the same time, the firearms in the hands of the [-] new army and the Qi family army also started to fire at the same time.

"Rumble..."

"Bang bang..."

With a loud noise, these flowering bombs and firecrackers exploded on their heads and around them, and the siege bandits fell down in an instant, but the attack on the top of the city did not stop and continued.

One by one flowering bullets fell from the sky, like a rain of flowering bullets, including rockets and shrapnel fired by firecrackers.

"Brothers, it's terrible, the Ming army is too fierce, we can't get close to the top of the city at all, retreat quickly."

"What are you going to withdraw? If the general doesn't order it, it will be a dead end if you withdraw. It's better to climb up. If you survive, you will have money and women..."

"Boom bang..."

The rogue soldiers who were still thinking about climbing to the top of the wall just now were suddenly hit by a few explosive bullets, and a dozen of them fell down in an instant, and the money of this woman was instantly wiped out.

In less than half a stick of incense, the city was already full of corpses of rogues. The army of [-] rogues who attacked the city just now had more than half of their casualties, basically losing their combat effectiveness.

Seeing that there were too many casualties from the bandits ahead, Hao Yaoqi gave an order, and the [-] Ming soldiers under his command began to attack the city gate.

"fire"

Seeing the reinforcements from the bandits, Qi Jiguang ordered to fire again.

Immediately, countless shells exploded in the army of rogues attacking the city, knocking them all off their feet. Just as they attacked the city, the explosive shells exploded on top of their heads.

This siege of the city can be said to be the most difficult since the founding of the Rogues, and it was also the one with the greatest casualties. Seeing all the soldiers under his command fall down, Liu Zongmin's eyes burst into flames.

But he suppressed his anger and ordered in a panic:

"Order to suspend the siege."

Although these rogues were brave and not afraid of death, who would want to die if they were alive? When they heard the order to withdraw, they immediately began to retreat quickly.

Seeing Liu Zongmin retreating, Hao Yaoqi also felt that the fight could not continue like this, and then ordered to retreat.

"Give me an order to suspend the siege and retreat five miles."

The first siege battle, the rogues ended in failure, leaving corpses and broken limbs all over the ground, and the rogue army retreated in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, look, the bandits stopped attacking the city and began to retreat. Shall we go out and kill them for a while, and kill all the people who attacked the city today."

Sun Chuanting pointed at the retreating bandits, wanting to go out of the city to fight.

Zhu Youjian shook his head:

"We are not going to fight today. There are still many things to do in the city. Tomorrow, I will let you have a good time, check the gunpowder and the wounded, and make up all the supplies you need."

"obey"

Although the rogues failed to attack the city, the rogues still had hundreds of thousands of troops. Once they were surrounded by them, it would be troublesome. There were too many ants and they would kill the elephant.

Not long after, Qi Jiguang came to report:

"Your Majesty, 130 people were injured, but the injuries were not serious. Most of them were caused by poor quality firearms and accidental injuries by our own people."

"What? With so many accidental injuries, how much gunpowder and explosive bombs are there?"

Hearing that he accidentally injured a hundred people, Zhu Youjian was shocked. It seemed that they needed to change their equipment, otherwise it would be dangerous if such a situation happened again when the bandits attacked the city with all their strength.

Chapter 14 The Saint Appears

Qi Jiguang ordered someone to check the ammunition, etc., and immediately reported to Zhu Youjian: "Report to the emperor, there are still some ammunition, but it must be replenished tomorrow, otherwise it will affect the battle."

Zhu Youjian nodded and said:

"Okay, I got it, I will replenish the ammunition for the soldiers tonight, and take this golden sore medicine to treat the injured soldiers."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Some people say that the strength of the rogue bandits is not strong at all, and when they encounter the Eastern captives, they are almost defeated with one blow.

These are all one-sided words. The Rogues are known as an army of one million. There are a lot of hungry militiamen and surrendered Ming troops, but they also have very elite infantry and cavalry.

Among them are [-] elite cavalry in heavy armor, all of whom are equipped with two horses, which is better than the cavalry of Dongyao. There are also [-] elite infantry. These elites are Li Zicheng's core strength.

As for the history of being defeated by the Eastern Captives, there are other reasons. The Battle of Shanhaiguan was caused by sandstorms.

The Eastern captives are going with the wind, while the rogues are going up against the wind. The rogue cavalry can't even open their eyes, so how can they fight.

You must know that Wu Sangui was almost completely wiped out by Li Zicheng before Dongyao sent troops, and in the end only a few Qingqi were left to follow Wu Sangui to break through.

This time the army of rogues did not make any preparations for the siege, and went into battle in a hurry. This was the failure of Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing's tactics, and it was because they were too arrogant.

Niu Jinxing had received the information two days ago that not only did the city of the capital not have much gunpowder, but there were almost no soldiers defending the city.

Liu Zongmin's army of [-] could break through the city gate at any time, but Hao Yaoqi was still behind to support him, so the elite of the rogues did not move at all.

They didn't expect that the capital would have such a strong defense, and they actually repelled the two armies of Liu Zhongmin and Hao Yaoqi, and suffered so many casualties.

Liu Zongmin originally wanted to take the lead, but the recruit battalion was almost wiped out. He rushed into the Chinese army tent angrily and yelled at Niu Jinxing.
