Chapter 142 Breaking through the Outer Guo
Hong Chengchou looked at the Ming army in a row, turned his head and looked at the wooden rocks prepared by the Qing army on the city wall. The Bolang machine cannons lined up in a row, and his face showed a calm look, looking quite calm and confident.
He smiled and said to everyone: "The pirates attacked the city at this time, they must have learned that the Qing reinforcements were coming and they wanted to make a desperate bet."
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but shake his head. The Ming army commander under the city was still too young and didn't know that he had committed a military taboo.
Well! Today I will teach you a lesson and help you with a lesson.
"Master Zhongtang, the pirates also want to attack the city with a few bad ladders?" Gao Jinku observed the Ming army lined up and found that they were lined up in square formations, with flags dancing with the wind, quite loud, but it seemed that something was missing. After a closer look, he realized that there were no siege equipment in the Ming army formation.
Hong Chengchou looked outside the city carefully and the old guy couldn't help but frown. Years of experience in the battle formation made him realize that this matter was not simple!
Hong Chengchou narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Ming army lined up and found that the Ming army did not prepare any siege equipment.
There are no equipment such as well, cave house, building car, siege hammer, etc., and there are only a few long ladders in the array, which is not respectful enough to Nanjing City.
In the city of Nanjing, Mingjun wanted to use a few ladders and conquer it. Unless there was a pit in Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong, it would be like letting the soldiers rush to the city as targets.
"Go and transfer a battalion of troops here!" Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice.
Few people who can be generals are fools. The Ming army's behavior is unreasonable, which makes Hong Chengchou feel a little uneasy.
"Zhongtang, isn't the pirates know that there is no hope of attacking Nanjing, but they are unwilling to retreat just like that, so they want to attack once so that they can explain to the people above them and then prepare to evacuate?" The Qing general next to him suddenly said.
When the Qing army on the city heard the words, they couldn't help but think it made sense, and this explanation would be clear.
Hong Chengchou thought for a while, and this was not impossible. He sneered on his face, "I ordered the soldiers to attack the city, and be sure to strike head-on!"
While he was talking, the guard next to him suddenly shouted: "Be careful at the middle hall!"
The Qing army in the city suddenly threw Hong Chengchou down, and an iron bomb shot from outside the city, and it was in the middle of the wall, and gravel splashed in an instant.
The walls exploded and stones shot out, hitting the Hu soldiers, and immediately smashed the Qing soldiers to their heads and bleeding.
The Qing army on the city immediately hugged and hid under the female wall.
Hong Chengchou was protected and left the city wall. Gao Jinku held the helmet that was blown up and said anxiously: "The pirates are about to attack the city, Lord Zhongtang will go back first!"
Hong Chengchou patted the dust on his body, stood up, waved his hand, "With pirate equipment, you will definitely not be able to attack the city. Don't worry, go and prepare to fight back!"
Outside the city wall, under the Ming army's banner, soldiers lined up horizontally and vertically, with long spears like forests flashing cold light, white belts and white clothes swaying in the wind.
The Ming army artillery formation roared under the city, Li Chengdong and Zhao Ming were stationed under the banner, and Wang Deshun came to report, "General, you are all ready!"
Li Chengdong said: "Then let's start!"
Zhao Ming said, "No hurry, the city is not full, so let's talk about it after a while!"
Li Chengdong swelled his cheeks, "If it doesn't blow up later, His Majesty the army retreated!"
Zhao Ming smiled and said, "If it is blown up, our troops will rob the city on both sides of the collapsed place. Marshal Li will immediately pour in as the general. When the Qing army sees the city breaking, they will inevitably retreat to the inner city. Marshal Li will try his best to intercept and kill the defeated army!"
As he was talking, Ruan Mei pointed to the city and said, "The Qing soldiers are coming to the city."
On the top of the city, the Qing army who came to reinforce came up to the top of the city, set off bows and arrows, and were ready to face the battle.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming said to Li Chengdong: "Marrior Li, you can attack!"
Li Chengdong had a calm face, "Don't blow up your own people!" After saying that, he suddenly pulled out the knife and pointed forward angrily, "My boys, take the Nanjing and kill me!"
With a roar, more than 10,000 soldiers immediately let out a roar of shock!
Li Yuanyin pulled out the reins of the horse, waved the spear in his hand vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Attack!"
After the military order, the Ming soldiers opened a gate like a dam, and flocked to Nanjing City like a flood.
Zhao Ming took a few fried bags from his soldiers, hung them on the saddle, galloped on the horse, and countless Ming soldiers gradually approached the city wall.
The Fran machine cannons on the top of the city began to roar, and the Qing army's bows and arrows and bird gunmen were looking for the target. The sharp arrows and the pitch-black muzzle were aimed at the rushing Ming army, preparing to attack the Ming army head-on.
Hong Chengchou raised his hand and stared at the charging Ming army, waiting for the Ming army to enter the range. Just as the Qing army was staring at the Ming army outside the city, a shocking sound suddenly came from under their feet.
"Room" an explosion like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder suddenly exploded under the city wall. The Qing army on the city felt that the wall under its feet suddenly bulged high, and then suddenly fell back, and the Qing soldiers fell down in groups.
Under the wall, countless smoke and dust were shocked, and a ball of white light burst out. The light flashed, and a seven-meter-wide wall was lifted up and fell heavily, collapsed in an instant, and thick smoke and dust rose.
Hong Chengchou was so shocked that he sat on the ground with a sudden change. The stones that were blown into the sky fell like hail and hit the shocked Qing army.
The solid city wall collapsed in an instant in a violent explosion, and a nearly seven-meter-long city wall collapsed. Hundreds of soldiers on it were buried alive in bricks and stones, with wailing figures everywhere.
For a moment, the city wall was in a mess, and the Qing soldiers were stunned.
The charge of the Ming army was shocked when they saw the city wall in front collapsed in the rising white light and smoke.
The vanguard soldiers were so scared that they trembled, and then the soldiers immediately turned red as if they were drunk.
Li Chengdong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was shocked. He learned this method and could not defeat any city in the future. Suddenly he became excited and let out a shocking roar, "The city is broken, kill it!"
Li Yuanyin took the lead. Before the rolling smoke and dust had dissipated, he led the hundred cavalry and rushed in directly, as if he had rushed into a sandstorm.
The dull Hong Chengchou heard Ming Jun's roar and first reacted. He stood up and immediately shouted anxiously: "Defend quickly, shoot arrows, and block the gap!"
The Qing army was in chaos on the city, his voice was covered by the wailing sound of the Qing army, and only sporadic arrows shot down.
At this time, the big Ming army had already rushed along the gap.
"Boom boom boom!" Several explosions came one after another, and the Qing soldiers who fired arrows and guns on the city heads on both sides of the gap were immediately thrown away by the explosion. The Ming soldiers took advantage of the situation to occupy both sides.
Hong Chengchou saw the Ming army pouring in from the gap, and saw a team of Ming army climbing up to both sides of the gap along the collapsed bricks and stones. The leader smashed the maces, and there was no general who could not help but be shocked. He stomped his feet suddenly, gritted his teeth, and "retreat!"
