Ming Zuo

Chapter 712 Divine Soldier descends from heaven
Zhenjiang Wei collapsed.

When the rattan shield can't resist the musket, no one is willing to die for no reason.

Even though Li Zheng tried his best to maintain it, the soldiers under him simply did not obey orders.

Obviously the Zhenjiang Guard had thousands of people, several times that of the Musketeers, but seeing their companions fall down row by row, the rest of the soldiers were still scared out of their wits.

Looking down from the sky, thousands of people retreated faster than the tide ebbed.

The soldiers of the Musketeers did not expect that they repelled the enemy several times with just their numbers.

This made them immediately change from timidity to arrogance, and one by one couldn't help but quicken their pace, wanting to kill more enemies.

"Stop! Stop! Don't run around!"

Wang Ruixian yelled again and again, and finally made the Musketeers stop restless.

He had just seen that the formation of the Musketeers had become a mess.

If it doesn't stop, it will only take a moment for these people to turn into a mob.

Once the official army launches a counterattack, the Musketeers will definitely be wiped out.

Anyway, the battle was won.

Wang Ruixian heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and shouted towards the top of the city: "Come down some people, bring fire and oil."

Xu Erjue was on the wall behind him and witnessed the whole process of the battle with his own eyes.

Seeing the muskets shooting row after row, countless enemies wiped out in ashes, this feeling was completely beyond his cognition and made his blood boil.

No matter how many epic poems I have read in the past, no amount of gorgeous words can compare with real scenes.

Hearing Wang Ruixian's call, Xu Erjue took the initiative to ask Ying to rush down with others.

According to Wang Ruixian's instructions, the ram and battering hammer abandoned by Zhenjiang Wei were poured with oil, and then burned to ashes.

That's the end of the day's battle.

The officers and soldiers suffered a serious setback, so they could only retreat back to the camp. There was no way to make a comeback without proper repairs.

A big victory was fought in the city, and the morale was high, and they respected Wang Ruixian and Li Chongtian even more like gods.

The morale of the two sides contrasted, and the defensive form became very good.

After losing the battle, Zhu Guobi and Fang Yuegong did not sum up their experience.

With their abilities, even if they wanted to sum it up, they couldn't do it!

The only thing I can do is throw the pot away.

"Why hasn't Uncle Cheng arrived yet?"

"Delaying a military plane is an unforgivable crime. This officer must join him!"

Zhu Guobi and Fang Yuegong completely shifted the responsibility for the defeat to Liu Kongzhao who was not present.

As if Liu Kongzhao led the army to arrive, this battle would be won.

It's not enough to just talk about it, Zhu Guobi decided to make this matter a reality.

"Send someone to Xu Pu quickly, and tell Uncle Chengyi that if he can't arrive within three days, the Marquis will have to use military law."

He is the garrison of Nanjing, the largest military officer in Nanjing, and has the right to punish other generals.

Anyway, as long as he can get away with it, Zhu Guobi doesn't mind attacking others.

As soon as the battle started in Songjiang Mansion, the eyes of the whole Jiangnan were focused on this place.

Far away in Taicang, in a secluded courtyard, some businessmen were hiding in it to discuss secretly.

"Commander Zuo's words are sincere and reasonable. These landlords and gentry must put me and other merchants to death and then hurry up. If the Songjiang Mansion loses, I'm afraid you and I will not escape the disaster."

"Who says it's not? With this broken court, we can't even do business properly."

One of them had a subtle look in his eyes.

"For the current plan, we have to do our best, but we can't let the colleagues in Songjiang Mansion really lose."

The others changed color one after another, obviously frightened.

"Brother Yu, don't be impulsive. You and I are mere grassroots, and we have no power to restrain a chicken. I'm afraid that if we can't help each other, we will be trapped instead."

The man smiled.

"It's impossible for us to use knives to kill people. Bao Buqi will be beheaded by the dog officer and stain their black hats red. But we brothers do business all over the world and make many friends, but it's not impossible for us to do anything."

He beckoned and let everyone get closer.

"Everyone, do you know Li Sanliang, the giant bandit from Taihu Lake?"

Southern Zhili mobilized troops against Songjiang. When the tens of thousands of troops fought, the consumption of food and grass was like running water.

In order to support the army, Nanjing is doing its best.

It only took half a month to raise a batch of grain and grass, and the household department immediately sent people to escort them to the army.

This batch of grain and grass was for Zhu Guobi, so they could not go through the Yangtze River, but through other waterways.

The boats escorting food and grass sailed in Taihu Lake, stretching for several miles, which was spectacular.

But the escort officials are quite leisurely, sitting upright on the bow of the boat, with the tea table on the table, enjoying delicious food and wine, which is better than going on a wild trip.

In this land in the south of the Yangtze River, what is there to worry about?
But the reality quickly told him that he thought everything was too beautiful.

"It's not good, the boat is leaking, come quickly!"

The screams from a ship jolted officials out of their trance.

He looked around in astonishment, and saw many people running back and forth on a boat behind him.

And the ship has already tilted to one side, obviously not far from sinking.

Before the officials figured out what was going on, there were screams in the fleet one after another.

"This boat is leaking, too!"

"My boat won't work either!"

The officials looked around in horror, and saw that all the ships in sight were in chaos, and nearly half of the ships had been submerged in the water.

"What happened?"

No one can answer him, everyone knows the big deal.

"Hurry up and save people!"

As soon as the words came out, the officials changed them again.

"Save the food!"

It doesn't matter how many people die. If the rations are gone, his head will never be kept.

But before the rescue started, someone discovered something was wrong.

"There is movement under the water, someone is playing tricks!"

The official quickly lay down on the bow of the boat and looked towards the water.However, the cold water was like fog, covering everything, and nothing could be seen at all.

The remaining ships are still flooding one after another.

After more than an hour, there were only remnants of sails and pieces of wood floating on the surface of the entire Taihu Lake, and there was not a single intact ship.

Three days later, Zhu Guobi and Fang Yuegong, who were in Songjiang Mansion, learned that all the grain and grass had sunk in Taihu Lake.

"Marquis Funing, the food and grass in the army are only enough for two days. If we can't break through the city, if the people below know the situation, we will definitely lose."

Fang Yuegong was in charge of food and grass, and revealed the truth.

The real situation made Zhu Guobi's scalp tingle.

"Come on, pass on the order, all soldiers and horses will go into battle today. No one is allowed to hold back, and the city must be broken within today."

Of course Zhu Guobi knew the consequences of failure.

He's crazy.

He no longer cares about arrangements and common sense.

He only wants Songjiang Mansion.

Although the generals and soldiers below didn't know what happened, but under his strict order, they could only bite the bullet and launch a desperate attack on Songjiang Mansion.

Although the officers and soldiers in Jiangnan were very hip-stretching, when they were really desperate, the Songjiang Mansion felt a suffocating pressure.

This time Zhu Guobi even went into battle in person.

"Uncle Chengyi's navy has set out from Xu Pu, and will arrive within today. How can the power of breaking the city be given to others? Give it to me, give it all to me! Whoever dares to retreat before the battle, I will definitely kill you .”

Zhu Guobi's frantic howls had just stimulated the champion's morale to attack a little, when suddenly there was an endless muffled thunder from the northern sky.

The whole earth seemed to tremble.

Regardless of whether it was the attacking side or the defending side, they stopped their movements at the same time and looked to the north in confusion.

Zhu Guobi looked at the sunny sky, completely unaware of what happened.

It doesn't look like it's going to rain either!

What's more, it's winter now, even if it rains, how can there be thunder?
Fang Yuegong frowned.

"Could it be that the earth dragon turned over?"

They were ignorant, but on the top of the wall, Wang Ruixian, who was covered in blood, shouted excitedly.

"Reinforcements have arrived, we are finally saved!"

In the city where there were heavy casualties, other people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing where the reinforcements he was talking about were at all.

Before anyone could ask a question, an explosion of smoke suddenly rose from the formation of officers and soldiers below the city.

The power of the explosion this time was very violent, and it was definitely not something that the rifles at the top of the city could do.

Seeing that dozens of officers and soldiers were swept away by the explosion, before everyone recovered, the wide open space was already filled with flames, as bright as fireworks.

The people in the city suddenly turned their heads and looked at Jiangzhong behind them.

But seeing the Huangpu River flowing slowly, countless white sails on the river from the north have already approached.

On the highest point of each ship, bright red flags flutter in the wind.

The sun and moon shining on the flag above are so breathtaking
Seeing that under the overwhelming artillery fire, all the officers and soldiers were buried, the people in the city finally understood.

The reinforcements have arrived!
