Chapter 380

During the shelling, the Ming soldiers quickly set out to form military formations according to their duties.

The army was at the city for several days and had never attacked the city. The soldiers had been raising their energy for a long time. In addition, after a meal in the early morning, they were full of strength. The Ming army soldiers were full of confidence and prepared to capture Wu and enter the city in one fell swoop.

At this time, cannons roared outside the city, and the generals and officials ordered their soldiers to form a formation and board the warships. Zhao Ming rode Zamaomao and led a group of generals and schoolmen to patrol the formations.

"Master! Master!"

Wherever the miscellaneous horses passed, the soldiers from various formations of the Ming army raised their troops and shouted in succession, with a stunning momentum.

Zhao Ming wandered around the formations, kept raising the horse whip, and waved his hand, "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

Zhao Ming walked through each formation amid cheers. A red sun was already hanging high in the east, and the warm sunlight shone on everyone.

On the city wall, Li Benshen held the city wall and looked down, and the many Qing soldiers behind him looked a little uneasy.

"At this time the Ming army attacked the city, the Qing reinforcements must be coming!" Hu Maozhen, the general next to him, suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

Li Benshen immediately heard the words and said, "Yes, reinforcements must be coming, and Zhao Zamao is eager to attack. Soon, send more troops to the city. The enemy's main attack direction must be the East City, which has been bombarded for many days, and the South City near the canal. We only need to guard for a few days, and reinforcements must arrive!"

"Zhe!" The Ming army had already begun to prepare for the attack. Now the generals and officers of Li could only deal with it with all their strength and immediately bowed and answered their orders.

"Boom boom boom!" As he spoke, the Ming army's artillery roared again, and more than ten iron bullets hit the place where Li Benshen and others gathered. Gravel splashed and smoke filled the dust.

At that moment, the guards hurriedly protected Li Benshen down the city, returned to the prefecture government office, and took charge of command. The other generals scattered and went to mobilize troops or command defenses.

Outside the city, the artillery bombardment continued, with more than 30 heavy artillery rows lined up and firing live ammunitions at the city walls. Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers stood behind the artillery array, and various instruments stood up.

At this time, Zhao Ming was under the banner of the Central Army's Celestial Crown, staring at the city in the distance. After nearly half an hour of shelling, the city wall finally collapsed and thick smoke and dust rose.

Zhao Ming immediately pulled out his battle knife, raised his harsh yelling, "Attack!"

"Soldiers, it's time to make achievements!" Wang Yi, Guo Zhong, Wang Deshun and other generals drew their swords and pointed at them, screaming loudly.

The military order was issued and the flag was waving. The soldiers from various Ming army immediately pushed the equipment and slowly advanced towards Wujin County.

The Ming army soldiers and shields were in front, musketeers followed closely, and then a large number of infantry armies carrying equipment were swaying, like red clouds rolling in the sky.

On the top of the city, the Qing soldiers heard the movements under the city and saw the Ming army pressing up from the squadron. The Qing general turned his head and shouted, "Defense!"

The Qing army in the city stood up one after another, and the gunners controlled artillery and bombarded the advancing Ming army. The convex gunners lit the convex and prepared to shoot through the shooting hole.

The Qing army's artillery roared on the top of the city, and the shells splashed a mud pillar in the Ming army's formation from time to time.

The Ming soldiers did not avoid artillery fire and continued to push the shield cart forward, hugging cloud ladders, goose carts and other siege equipment, and slowly approached.

"Shoot the arrows and shoot the gun!" On the top of the city, Hu Maozhen immediately shouted loudly when he saw the Ming army approaching the moat.

In an instant, muskets and arrows on the front of the city were fired volleys, and arrows and projectiles hit the shield car, making a sound of dodole, and the shield car was filled with arrows.

At this time, the Ming army soldiers and shield chariots were arranged into walls under the city. The Ming army musketeers and archers hid behind the shield chariots and shot at the top of the city. The Qing army, who was caught in the arrow, screamed and fell to the city.

At the same time, Wang Yi roared, "Flying Bridge Team, Charge!"

As arrows and projectiles were intertwined like rain, Ming soldiers carrying the trench bridge and the long ladder rushed out of the gap between the shield wall, built the fly bridge on the moat and laid a layer of wooden boards.

Wang Yi yelled again, "On the killer team!"

The Ming soldiers carrying the city ladder followed the flying bridge team, stepped on the set up flying bridge, crossed the moat, arrived at the dead corner of the shooting under the city, then raised the city ladder, hooked the head of the city, and began to climb upwards.

The Ming army's brave battle shocked the Qing army. The Ming army under the city used the advantage of muskets to suppress the Qing army's archers on the top of the city, making it impossible for the Qing army to aim directly to kill the Ming army siege. The Ming army killers rushed across the moat and puppet like an ant.

Just after a fight, the Qing army realized the power of Donghai Town and the fierceness of the soldiers was not inferior to that of the Eight Banners soldiers.

In a moment, Dongcheng fell into a fierce battle, especially at the collapse, the Ming army threw grenades to open the way, and the Qing army was defeated step by step.

Seeing this, Hu Maozhen's muscles twitched, he suddenly clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "Fire an iron poke cannon and blow them to death!"

On the back of the city wall, there are two black iron barrels with a thick waist of a strong man, half of which is buried in the ground, which is an iron poke cannon.

A flag was waving on the city wall, and the Qing army behind the city immediately lit the lead. The iron barrel cannon made a loud noise, and a pack of explosives was thrown away, crossed the city and landed among the Ming soldiers in front of the city wall.

"Fried bread!" After seeing Wu enter the city, the generals of the Ming army suddenly rose up a few black dots, drew an arc above the city, rolling and falling down, and immediately loudly reminded his soldiers.

With a loud "boom", a ball of white light burst out. The bodies of the Ming soldiers around him were thrown away like fallen leaves, and then they fell heavily to the ground, killing several people immediately.

The continuous explosions rang out outside the city, and the Ming army's front was in a mess.

"Continue to rush!" Wang Yi's expression did not change, and he roared loudly, directing his soldiers to continue charging.

At this time, during the fierce battle in the East City, the war also began in the South City. The Ming soldiers took a warship and sailed into the canal.

The Qing army fired guns at the top of the city and hit the side of the Ming army warship. Zhao Ming ordered the navy to lay a layer of cowhide and wet quilt on the side facing the south city.

The Qing army's projectiles and bows and arrows shot into Ming army warships, which basically could not cause harm to the Ming army. Only artillery could be torn to pieces with cowhide and wet quilts, sweeping across a deck.

However, how could the artillery on the city be compared with the number of artillery on the warship? The gun windows on the side of the Ming army warship opened, the artillery was pushed out, and the fire was opened with a "bang bang bang".

The artillery was almost close to the city wall to fire. At such a close range, the power of the shells was terrifying.

After a round of artillery bombardment, the battlements of the city wall were cut off by Ming army shells, and bricks and stones fell into the canal, splashing white water.

The battlements, walls, cannons behind the walls, and soldiers were almost destroyed by volleys. Guo Zhong stood on the flagship and immediately drew his sword and roared, "Brothers, come on!"

The Ming army's warship was tall and level with the city wall. The Ming army directly came from the ship building, ladders on the city wall, and then stepped on the ladder to climb the city wall.

At this time, the Ming army and the Qing army fought on the city wall. On the canal outside the city, the Ming army soldiers stood on the boat tower, and had reached the mast higher than the boat tower, and shot the Qing army from a high point, causing the Qing army in the south to fall into a passive position.

At this time, behind the Nancheng City wall, rolling buns also rose up and landed in the moat, exploding a shocking water column. When it landed on the warship, it immediately splashed the broken wood, causing great losses to the Ming army.

When the two cities in the southeast were in fierce battle, a Qing army wearing cotton jackets and hats ran to the south city.

"Who?" The Qing army general who was guarding the city gate immediately reached out to stop him and shouted loudly, "Don't get close to the city gate!"

However, the team of people kept pace. Zhou Jinyong rode out and continued to run forward while replying: "Mr. Liu, it's me!"

"It turns out it's Mr. Zhou Qian!" Seeing that it was Zhou Jinyong, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but relax his vigilance, "How could Mr. Zhou Qian come here!"

"The enemy's attack, I will come to reinforce the enemy according to the order of Li Junmen!" Zhou Jinyong rushed to Baihu. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his big sword and slashed over. Before he could react, Liu Zheng was slashed from his shoulder in half with a look of shock.

The Qing army was stunned at the city gate, and Zhou Jinyong immediately roared: "Enter the sea, go and knock out the iron barrel cannon group, and the other brothers follow me to grab the door!"

"Go! Go to the ** group!" The general Zhou Jinhai ran behind the city wall with a sword.

Zhou Jinyong rode his horse and entered the entrance hole, slashed the Qing army near the city gate with a big knife, and then angrily said: "Kill up, occupy the urn city, and welcome Zhao Dashui into the city!"
