Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Zhu Hengjia's application soon reached Zhu Huakui's hands.

Seeing that this boy actually chose to attack the east wall, Zhu Huakui agreed without any doubt.

They also agreed to raise troops the day after tomorrow and capture Nanjing in one fell swoop.

Zhu Hengjia agreed with a smile, and began to assemble troops and prepare food and equipment with great fanfare.

The day flies by in a blink of an eye.

On the appointed day, the sky was a little gloomy.

It was as if they were mourning for the war that was about to begin.

Outside Nanjing, Zhu Huakui has completed the final mobilization.

All soldiers who participated in the war were given money and various cakes were made.

The effect is still there.

At least morale has improved a lot.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Huakui called someone to check on Zhu Hengjia's condition.

Outside the east city gate, Zhu Hengjia was also ready.

The army was waiting in formation three hundred meters outside the city.

"This fool is really easy to fool."

"Then inform the overall situation and prepare for war!"

Hearing that Zhu Hengjia was really ready.

Zhu Huakui's mouth curled up slightly with a look of disdain.

However, this expression was quickly suppressed by him.

By the time Nanjing is captured, Zhu Hengjia will probably have very few troops left.

Then he can take the opportunity to engulf Zhu Hengjia's territory.

Once Fujian and Zhejiang are captured, the richest areas in southern Ming Dynasty will be in his hands!

Thinking of this, Zhu Huakui took a deep breath and pulled out the sword from his waist!

"Soldiers!"

"Fight for glory!"

"Capture Nanjing, and be the general and marquis!"

"The first one to rush up to the city wall will be rewarded with 10,000 silver coins and be granted the title of Duke! It is hereditary and will not be replaced!"

A loud shout completely kicked off the decisive battle.

The big drum that had been prepared for a long time started beating immediately after Zhu Huakui finished speaking!

It resounded across the earth like muffled thunder!

"kill!"

As the drum beat sounded, the shouts of killing also appeared simultaneously.

Countless soldiers carried various siege equipment and swarmed towards the city wall like ants.

And on the city wall.

Looking at the rebels attacking again, Mo Shan snorted and waved his hand.

Behind them, the archers who had been prepared long ago all set up their bows.

Then it turned into a rain of arrows pouring down from the sky.

Hundreds of people can be taken away in each round.

After six rounds, the arrows were empty, and the vanguard of the rebels below had reached the city wall.

Mo Shan then waved a flag to notify the messengers in the distance.

"Dong dong dong dong~"

The same drum beat instantly sounded at the city gate.

It is much more rapid than the drum sound of King Chu.

Listening to the order from the drum beat, the archer retreated and drew his long sword and turned to reserve troops.

Get ready for melee combat!

Not only that, but all kinds of weird mechanisms and props were also taken out.

Especially a strange-looking object with several pulleys on it.

As long as a ladder is put up, the front head of this object can press against both ends of the ladder.

The soldiers behind just need to shake the wheel to overturn the ladder!

It's a pity that there aren't enough of them, otherwise these rebels might not even be able to get up the ladder.

In addition to the ladder, the biggest threat to the city wall is the cloud tower.

It was a giant object made of wood and the same height as the city wall!

There are thirty-two in total, which is considered to be Zhu Huakui's entire family fortune.

These cloud towers are extremely thick and can accommodate two or three soldiers walking side by side inside.

Climb up the corridor, and when you reach the top, step forward and you will see the tower.

Moreover, these cloud towers are also covered with iron sheets, so they are not afraid of ordinary flames at all.

"Oh, I did go to the Cloud Tower."

"Someone, go and drag out the Shenwei General Cannon."

"I don't have much ammunition, so aim at these cloud towers and blast them!"

Looking at the slowly approaching Yunlou, Mo Shan sneered and gave the order again.

As a companion capital, Nanjing is not as solid as Xiangyang, but it is equipped with many good things.

Just like this powerful cannon.

Although it is an old product, it is not the latest model developed by the Ministry of Industry.

But this does not affect its power at all!

In the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from the capital, Nanjing was the only one equipped with the Shenwei General Cannon.

Not many, eighteen in total.

Although there are not too many, it is not easy to deal with these slow-moving cloud towers.

Soon, on the city wall that can run horses, the rain cloth was removed for the first time by the powerful generals.

They have been eating dust from defense to now, and now they finally have a chance to show off their skills!

Transported by horses.

The first Shenwei General has taken the lead in completing the fixation of the No. 12 gun stack on the left side of the main entrance.

The black muzzle extended from the crenel and was aimed directly at Yunlou, which was less than fifty meters away.

At this time, the rebels who were preparing to attack the city in the Yun Tower opposite also saw the artillery.

Immediately, someone shouted to the people pushing the cart below to stop pushing it!

Change direction quickly!

But the life of a soldier is the least valuable thing on the battlefield, not to mention that the battlefield is so noisy, and the tow truck below is still shouting slogans and can't be heard clearly.

Now, the people above are even more anxious!

Damn that artillery is almost finished loading. Are you trying to kill us?

Some soldiers could no longer care about others and kept squeezing back to leave the Cloud Tower.

But Yun Tower was already crowded with soldiers at this time, and there was no room to evacuate.

On the contrary, their withdrawal caused chaos in the entire Yun Tower.

"what's the situation?"

"Why is there so much noise in there!"

Below, a young commander who was responsible for directing the manpower to push the cloud building was very confused when he heard the sound of fighting coming from the building.

What happened?

Has a new guy pooped his crotch?

"I don't know, it seems to be talking about artillery or something."

"How about I go in and yell?"

The adjutant next to him shrugged and looked confused.

Everything was fine just now, but suddenly he screamed.

"What artillery?"

"Where did the artillery come from?"

"We've been attacking for so long. The artillery on the other side has been brought out early."

The commander's frown deepened when he heard the artillery fire.

They had also been worried about the presence of artillery in Nanjing City before, but they had been firing for so long without even hearing a single sound.

It is estimated that even if there are any, there should be no shells.

"Forget it, don't worry about it,"

"Let the soldiers behind stop them from coming down."

"Everyone listen to orders and speed up!"

"Lean closer to me..."

The words are not finished yet.

I saw a flash of fire on the city wall.

"boom!"

A thunderous sound shook everyone around them, shaking slightly!

Before the little leader could react, countless sawdust and broken limbs fell on top of him on the cloud tower above his head.

It took him a long time before he came back to his senses and looked up.

I saw that the Yunlou, which was originally fine, had been punched through in the upper middle position!

The wailing sounds continued, and it was obvious that the people inside were seriously injured!

"artillery..."

"It's artillery!"

"Damn it, these people saved the artillery until now!"

"Quick, archers! Shoot arrows at the wall! Suppress the artillery!"

The little leader stared at the gap for a long time before finally coming back to his senses.

Then his face turned slightly dark, and he cursed angrily!

If you have artillery, you should use it early!

My own arrow feathers were also very nervous. I originally planned to wait until Yunlou moved closer and then use them to cover the troops attacking the city.

But we certainly can’t wait now!

If you don't suppress those artillery pieces, this Yunlou will be a target!
