East Factory Governor

Chapter 471
On the city wall of the south gate, there are a full [-] troops!

However, the passages on the city wall were narrow, and the officers and soldiers could not give full play to their superiority in numbers. Instead, eager to kill the three, they pushed and squeezed each other on the crowded passages, which aggravated the chaos.

The sound of cannons, gunshots, and bows and arrows leaving the strings suddenly became much more sparse.

The pressure on the Demon Cult soldiers below suddenly decreased, and they rushed across the moat like a tide.After cleaning up the poisonous thorns all over the ground, some people rushed towards the gap in the collapse, while the other people directly put the ladder on the city wall and climbed up quickly.

Xia Lu's eyes were red in anxiety, while commanding the soldiers to encircle and suppress these three people, at the same time, he had to let the soldiers deal with the Demon Sect soldiers below, he was flustered and dizzy for a while.

Zhao Wuhen, Chu Yun and Yu Zhu were still massacring without restraint at the top of the city.With their skills, the ordinary infantry at the head of the city is not enough to pose a threat to them, only the crossbowmen and firecrackers can be a little bit of a threat.However, in the densely populated and chaotic city, these two arms did not dare to let go of their hands and feet because they were afraid of accidentally injuring their friendly troops.

The three of them fully utilized the value of top experts in war!The value of the three of them at this moment is not inferior to tens of thousands of troops to some extent!From another point of view, tens of thousands of troops are easy to get, but these three people are hard to come by. To train to their level, opportunities, talents, natural treasures, martial arts cheats, etc. are all indispensable. Thousands of people who practice martial arts Millions, how many such masters can there be?
The three wreaked havoc on the top of the city for less than a quarter of an hour, and destroyed six of the eight cannons, and killed three or four hundred officers and soldiers, which greatly reduced the firepower of the officers and troops in an instant.

There are more than 5000 Ming soldiers stationed at the south gate, but it is impossible for all of them to rush to the top of the city.They can only reinforce batch by batch.Part of the gap where the reinforcements collapsed was filled with human flesh.Others sent reinforcements to the walls in an attempt to help stabilize the situation.

But more and more Demon Sect soldiers crossed the river. At this time, three of the five scattered members of the Demon Sect, the old man, the one-eyed Sanren, and the yellow-shirted monk, had also climbed to the top of the city, and the city became more and more chaotic.

The previously agreed plans to resist the enemy with boiling oil and asphalt all fell through!Only a few soldiers threw a few jars of kerosene down the city, and they were lucky enough to ignite them.It's a pity that the number is too small, and the Qingshui Banner of the Demon Cult quickly extinguished them with the water from the moat!

Although there are blunderbuss soldiers under the passage of the city wall, shooting crazily at the demon soldiers climbing the ladder through the shooting holes, but the blunderbusses are not machine guns after all, and the rate of fire is too slow to stop a large number of demon soldiers climbing up the city wall!

After Cao Wenzhao learned of the situation, he urgently sent [-] more troops to the south gate.

Originally there were 11 troops in Lanzhou City, but they lost 7 in the ambush, and 7 in the siege the day before yesterday. Before this war, there were still more than [-] points.As for the Demon Cult, excluding the [-] lost in the ambush and the [-] lost in the siege, there are still more than [-] left.

But it is also more than 7, and the difference in combat power is indeed huge.The losses in front of the Ming army were almost all the most capable Guanning Army, Xuanfu Army, Datong Army, and Changping Army. Most of the remaining 7 troops are Gansu soldiers!No matter in terms of equipment or training, these Gansu soldiers were far behind these Gyeonggi kings, and the gap with the Demon Sect was even greater.

The temporarily built earthen wall at the collapsed site of the South Gate was knocked down by the Giant Wood Banner of the Demon Cult, and then a large number of Demon Cult soldiers stepped on the ruins of the collapsed South Gate and rushed in.Now the ruins have been piled up to a height of more than nine meters, and the top has been reinforced so that soldiers can stand on them, so the Ming army blocked the top, condescendingly fighting against the Demon Cult.

At this time, the tunnel of the Demon Sect's Houtu Banner was also dug to the side of the moat.They opened a big hole above the tunnel, and countless Demon Cult soldiers came out of the hole one after another.

If the city was not in chaos, it would not be so easy for the Demon Cult soldiers to come out of the cave—the Ming army at the top of the city could just throw a pile of kerosene jars at the entrance of the cave and light it up.

As a result, more and more demon soldiers crossed the river, and finally formed a scale!

Xia Lu, who commanded the battle at the south gate, charged bravely at the city wall and took the lead. Several soldiers begged him to withdraw quickly, and he was almost hacked by him!

At this moment, a black shadow swayed to his side, and then flew out a claw and hooked his neck with lightning speed.With a pop, Xia Lu's neck was bloody and blood shot out.After struggling a few times unwillingly, he fell to the ground!
Xia Lu, deputy general of Gansu, died heroically for his country!
The death of Xia Lu accelerated the defeat of Nanmen.

The Ming army guarding the collapsed ruins saw that they were wrong, so they desperately brought more than a dozen jars of kerosene and smashed them on the ruins, and then ignited the fire.The raging fire finally temporarily stopped the Devil's Cult's onslaught.However, Qingshui Banner of the Devil's Sect quickly rushed over to put out the fire, and it seemed that it couldn't last long.

On the inner side of the city wall, about [-] soldiers of the Ming army were waiting in formation, and wave after wave rushed to the city wall for reinforcements.It's a pity that there are more and more demon sects going up the city wall now, and more of them are going up at this time just to die, delaying the demon sect's offensive with their lives.

Chengnan is at stake!

Cao Wenzhao personally rushed to the south gate with [-] elite soldiers. He saw people from the Demon Cult everywhere on the city wall, so he knew that the south gate could not be defended!

If you can't keep the south gate, you can only retreat to the inner city!
But the retreat must be done step by step, otherwise a disorderly retreat will only accelerate the collapse.

The experienced Cao Wenzhao continued to increase troops on the city wall, while surrounding the cave with heavy troops to prevent the influx of demon soldiers after the fire was extinguished.

At the same time, he asked the rest of the soldiers to line up and prepare for street fighting with them in case the Demon Cult broke through the city wall and flooded in.

Afterwards, he began to order people to send orders to let all the soldiers and horses in the North City, West City, and East City retreat into the inner city, and move all the Flang machine guns to the inner city.The Fran cannon weighs three hundred catties, but the Fran cannon in Lanzhou City is not fixed, but has cannon wheels, so it is relatively simple to move them to the inner city wall.

But all this takes time!These times need to be exchanged with the lives of these soldiers at the south gate!

The fire at the ruins was almost finished, and a large wave of demon soldiers rushed in roaring.

What greeted them were countless strong crossbows, bows and arrows, and thunderbolts of the standard standard of the Ming army.

Countless demon soldiers rolled down from the ruins, and the officers and soldiers waiting below were afraid that he was not dead, so they rushed up and stabbed him again.

Two thousand Ming troops surrounded the ten-meter-long gap in a fan shape, and defended tenaciously with the cooperation of archers and crossbowmen.

The Demon Cult charged several times, but they were all repelled, leaving only seventy or eighty corpses.

At this time, the Fierce Banner of the Devil's Cult rushed up and threw a large number of thunderbolts at the Ming army defending the ruins.Accompanied by bursts of ear-piercing explosions, the Ming army that had surrounded the gap in a fan shape was blown apart.
