East Factory Governor

Chapter 472

The Ming army still fought back tenaciously, and also returned thunderbolts and crossbow arrows.However, Thunderbolt's accuracy and explosion power were still inferior to Agni Banner's, and their numbers were not as large, so they were soon at a disadvantage.

Under the cover of Thunderbolt, a large number of Demon Cults rushed in across the ruins.

The two sides soon engaged in hand-to-hand combat and fought fiercely.

Cao Wenzhao ordered the soldiers to stop the Demon Cult, and at the same time arranged for the troops behind to start retreating.If you don't retreat at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to retreat after a while.

He has no choice!

As for the Ming soldiers on the top of the city and in the ruins who were still fighting against the Demon Cult, he could only give up!It is impossible for him to let the government army start a street fight with the Demon Cult, because everyone knows that there is no chance of winning!
Many Ming army soldiers retreated with tears in their eyes. There were their brothers on the top of the city and their brothers in the ruins, but they could only watch helplessly as they were massacred by the demon sect.

At this time, the Ming troops at the east gate, north gate, and west gate had all retreated to the inner city.

The inner city is a rectangular space with a length of 800 meters and a width of 600 meters, which is fully crowded with the remaining [-] troops of the Ming army!If the inner city is breached, these large armies may not even have a chance to break through. Annihilation of the entire army is not alarmist!

But Cao Wenzhao did not surrender, nor did he abandon Lanzhou City, so he could only retreat to the inner city and fight to the death with the Demon Cult!

Fortunately, the wall of the inner city is 15 meters high and 21 meters wide, and its configuration is only slightly lower than that of the outer city wall.Moreover, the [-] Franc cannons at the North Gate, West Gate, and East Gate, including most of the firearms, kerosene, asphalt, etc., were all transported to the inner city wall, so the officers and soldiers still had some reliance.

Seeing that the army had already withdrawn, the soldiers of the Ming army who fought hard at the south gate had despair written all over their faces.

Many of them collapsed and chose to surrender!

However, the Devil's Cult, which suffered heavy losses in Lanzhou City, has become red-eyed. Even if the officers and soldiers surrender, they will still kill them.As the supreme commander, Zhao Wuhen, the guardian of the left, as well as Elder Zi Chu Yun, Elder Jin Yu Zhu, etc., had all withdrawn from the battlefield when they saw that the general situation was set, and went to the other side of the river to adjust Rest and meditate, and go to restore your true energy and physical strength.

Therefore, no one took care of the matter of killing and surrendering.Demon cultists have always been fierce, as long as no one restrains them, they are like wild beasts out of control, they just want to kill them to their heart's content!
When the Ming army saw that they would die if they surrendered or not, they immediately became angry and resisted desperately.

"Brothers, it's death anyway, kill it!"

"Kill one is enough, kill two to earn one!"

"Come on, a bunch of dogs, grandpa will be afraid of you?"

"20 years later, I will still be a good man!"

The desperate resistance of these Ming troops created the necessary conditions for the other troops at the south gate to withdraw into the inner city smoothly.

Courage, however, is not the same as strength.About half an hour later, the remaining Ming army in the south of the city was basically wiped out. Even if there were hundreds of people left, they would no longer be able to stop the Demon Cult from entering the city!
Since there is no way to the south of the city, the Demon Cult soldiers swarmed in from the bombed ruins!

The south of the city fell!The whole process only took more than an hour!

After Cao Wenzhao entered the inner city, he immediately checked the defense of the inner city.

In view of the lesson that the outer city was defeated by the masters of the Demon Cult, Cao Wenzhao not only sent all the crossbowmen to the city wall this time, but also sent all the masters in the army to the city wall-the army of 38, only ten Two masters above the Xiaocheng Realm, and [-] masters around the third class of the Xuantong Realm.

These 50 people were divided into ten groups, five people in each group, wearing ordinary soldier armor mixed among them, once a Demon Cult master was found, they would go up and besiege in groups as a unit!
After the remnants of the Ming army were wiped out, the Demon Cult made some adjustments.

In the Battle of Chengnan, the Ming army lost nearly 1 people, while the Demon Cult only lost more than 3000.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zuo Guardian Zhao Wuhen and others finished adjusting their breathing, returned to the city again, and led the army to the inner city.

The streets in the city were empty, and the people all closed their doors and windows, hiding in their houses and shivering.

However, the Demon Cult did not harm the people during the march, and even accidentally damaged the things that the people in the city put outside their houses, and they would leave scattered silver as compensation—their ambitions for the world are evident.

There were about 5 Demon Cult troops participating in the attack on the inner city, and they quickly surrounded the inner city.

Not long after, siege ladders, battering rams, etc. arrived one after another.

Many archers and crossbowmen from the Devil's Cult climbed onto the roofs of nearby houses, where the terrain was higher, making it easier to suppress the crossbowmen and artillerymen at the top of the Ming army's walls.

After everything was ready, Zhao Wuhen sent the one-eyed Sanman Xiao Bujing to persuade him to surrender.

Xiao Bujing shouted into the city with strong qi, "Brothers of the Ming Army, our Sun Moon God Sect's rebels only want to destroy the Ming Dynasty, so as to bring peace to the world, and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world! My teaching and your army There is no deep hatred, why do you have to fight to the death? If your army is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and stop fighting, I will teach you to treat each other with courtesy, respect each other as friends, and will not teach your brothers to suffer any damage!"

But he saw an arrow shot from inside the city, going straight to Xiao Bujing's forehead.

Xiao Bujing smiled disdainfully, stretched out his hand lightly, caught the arrow, and then broke it off.

He had no interest in persuading these Ming troops to surrender, so he was even more lazy to speak out.Turning around and returning to Zhao Wuhen, he said, "Guardian Zhao, it seems that these Ming troops are stubborn, let's prepare to attack the city."

Zhao Wuhen looked up at the sky, then nodded with a gloomy expression.

With one order, the Demon Cult besieged from east, south, west, and north.

A large number of Demon Cult soldiers rushed up carrying the ladder.In addition, under the cover of a wooden cart with a baffle, the giant wooden flag rushed towards the city gate pushing a huge hammer.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city immediately launched a fierce counterattack!They frantically poured kerosene and pitch down and set them on fire!

The raging fire ignited countless Demon Cult soldiers, and except for a few who were lucky enough to be extinguished, most of them were burned to death in howling and struggling.

The fire made the Demon Cult temporarily retreat.

After more than two quarters of an hour, the fire gradually extinguished.

The Demon Cult continued to attack.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army repeated their old tricks, and the Demon Cult retreated again.

Cao Wenzhao understood that the Demon Cult was deliberately consuming the fire oil and asphalt in the city.After days of consumption, all the kerosene, asphalt and other materials already in the south of the city were captured by the Demon Cult, and now there is less than half of the original inventory left in the inner city. depleted.

He immediately ordered that kerosene and asphalt could only be used when the demon cult gathered under the city wall.In addition, a portion of kerosene and asphalt should be specially allocated to deal with the most threatening hammer.

Soon, the Devil's Cult launched its third attack!

Only this time, the east gate, north gate, and west gate are all feints, and only the south gate is a real attack!
The Devil's Cult is going to repeat the old trick. Before attacking the south gate, Zhao Wuhen, the left protector, brought two elders and three scattered people to the top of the city.

This trick has been tried and tested!

Now the main force of the Ming army that can fight the four major armies is basically lost, and at least two-thirds of the city walls are Gansu soldiers, so they think that capturing the south gate of the inner city will only be easier than attacking the south gate of the outer city before.

As long as the south gate of the inner city is captured, the Ming army inside will have no way to retreat, either surrender or die!

In this way, the existence of the Ming army in Gansu will be completely wiped out!
Zhao Wuhen looked down at the top of the city with cold eyes, then jumped up, facing the dense arrow rain with his shield, he easily climbed over the city wall.

At the top of the city, he saw a few small Chengjing masters at a glance.

With a sneer in his heart, is he worthy of fighting against this Dharma protector?There is no one in the Ming army!There is no one left in the dignified Ming Dynasty!

May I ask, who in the world can stop me from the Sun Moon God Sect?

Change the world, starting today!
