East Factory Governor

Chapter 765
Let's talk about Qin Shuhuai's side bombarding Ashniulu for two full days. Although it was almost razed to the ground, Mangurtai in the city still remained motionless, sitting calmly in a bunker in the city.

At night, the artillery fire of the Ming army finally stopped.

A large number of bannermen ran out from the cellar, some came out to get some air, some went to look for the bones of their relatives who were killed by the bombing, and more wanted to come out to find something to eat.

There are corpses everywhere on the streets, and not every household has a cellar, and those without a cellar have a high probability of dying in the artillery fire.

Under the bleak moonlight, a group of ragged people moved silently, shuttling among the abandoned bricks and tiles, with despair written on their faces.

and anger.

Just like the scene of the Han people in the pass after they were ravaged by the Tartars.

War is a monster that eats people.No one likes it, but it always accompanies human beings and never goes away.

A relatively peaceful night is a good time for the soldiers and civilians in the city to rest.

They didn't know that in the night, a large number of Ming troops had already begun to gather and form formations, ready to attack.

At three o'clock in the ugly hour, a loud noise suddenly came from the south of the city, causing the ground to shake!
"Boom! Rumble!"

It was as if the gate of hell was opened, and like a bloodthirsty monster opened its mouth, swallowing everything on the ground!

The city wall in the south of the city, including the south gate, was more than [-] meters wide and collapsed!

From the ground, there was a pungent and strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

There is no doubt that this is the masterpiece of the joint efforts of Houtu Banner and Agni Fire Banner.

It turned out that Qin Shuhuai's bombardment of Ashniulu for two consecutive days was not only to deter the defenders in the city, but also to cover the thick soil flag dug underground!

Amidst the rumble of cannons, the Tartars in the city would never hear the sound of digging.

In this way, the explosives can be buried closer to the ground and thus more destructive.

This time, a total of 350 demon sect thick earth flags and more than 700 Jianghe gang thick earth flags were invested in digging the tunnel. More than [-] people, using camp tents as cover and artillery sound as cover, fought continuously for two days and two nights, and finally Completed an outstanding performance.

Do you think they only dug a secret passage leading to the south gate?

No, they also derived a branch from that passage, which can directly lead to the city!

In the dark night, bright flares rise.

For many old tartars who had fought against Qin Shuhuai, seeing this kind of flare would cause their hearts to thump.

Because Qin Shuhuai likes night battles, counting on his fingers, how many battles of the Ming army were fought at night?Every time the Ming army took the initiative to launch a night battle, the Tartars had no good fruit to eat.

"kill!"

In Nancheng, there was a loud cry of killing, and a large number of Ming troops came in from the collapse.

Most of the Tazi soldiers who had been guarding the cave were buried, so at this moment, the defense there was a vacuum.

When the Tartar guard at the South Gate urgently dispatched troops to plug the gap, many Ming troops had already rushed in.

The gap of more than [-] meters wide was enough for the Ming army to rush in hundreds of people in an instant.

After these hundreds of elite soldiers entered the city, they quickly occupied the gap, allowing more Ming troops to pour in from behind.

At this moment, under the rotation system during wartime, about two-thirds of the Tartar soldiers are on duty, and one-third are sleeping soundly—the besieged city is besieged, people must sleep, right?
In other words, of the [-] soldiers and horses in Mang Gurtai's hands, only [-] were on standby.But there are only more than [-] people deployed in Nancheng.

And the Ming army attacked Nancheng with a full [-] troops!

Now the gap of more than [-] meters is like a dam with its gates opened, and countless Ming troops rush over like a flood.

On the uncollapsed city wall of the southern city, about 500 Tartar archers, 300 musketeers, 200 crossbowmen, and four Frang machine guns crazily poured bows, arrows, projectiles, and shells into the gap!

The Ming army at the impact gap was naturally extremely dense, and the Tartars could easily sweep away piece after piece of Ming army soldiers almost without aiming!
In the blink of an eye, the gap was filled with corpses of the Ming army, and the pile was several meters high!

But the charge of the Ming army did not stagnate at all, on the contrary it became even crazier!
The crossbowmen, musketeers and gunners of the Tartars gritted their teeth and desperately increased the rate of fire. However, at this moment, the high platform of the Ming army finally entered the firing range driven by a large number of soldiers!

The crossbowmen and archers of the Ming army on the high platform, as well as the Raging Fire Flag and the Qingshui Banner immediately launched a suppression. All of a sudden, the crossbows, thunderbolts, and green Gongs flooded the Tazi's long-range attacking troops, like a basin of cold water, completely extinguishing the opponent. Fight back the flames.

After paying the price of hundreds of people, this gap was finally controlled by the Ming army again, ensuring that the follow-up troops could enter the city without interference.

Soon, thousands of Ming troops entered the city. Not only did they gain a firm foothold, but they also quickly spread to both sides and rushed towards the city wall, preparing to seize the commanding heights.

It is a foregone conclusion that [-] troops will enter the city!

After receiving the news, Mangurtai in the city was so startled that his head was buzzing!

He has a total of [-] troops in his hands. If he is not allowed to hold on, he is a little bit sure, but if he is asked to face the Ming army face to face, he is not sure at all!
why?
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in his Eight Banners soldiers, but that he doesn't have confidence in those Mongolians and people from the Western Regions!In the first two battles, the battle reports he received all mentioned how these soft bones collapsed at critical moments, and how they messed up his position by scurrying around like a mouse.

Now half of his hands are such waste!
But can he not use it?Without these people, he would have more than 2 elite soldiers, and he would die faster then!

No matter how you say it, these soldiers are a hundred times stronger than soldiers. At least they dare to fight at first. After all, people from the grassland and desert are somewhat bloody!
I hope their blood can last longer this time!Next came the street fighting, in the final analysis, the competition was who was more ruthless!
I don't believe that Qin Shuhuai's subordinates can all be men, so he is a bit cowardly, right?
For a while, all kinds of weird thoughts came to him, almost bursting his head.

Splitting headache!

That's right, he was indeed shocked, and it could even be said that he was frightened.

"Lord Belle?"

He came back to his senses after a close guard next to him shouted, and hurriedly arranged for defense.

He ordered the east, west, and north of the city to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to rush to the south city. At the same time, he asked the troops who were resting and sleeping near the center of the city to immediately get up and prepare to go to the south city at any time.

The troops sleeping in rotation in the city are a little embarrassed now.

Since the cannons in red almost flattened Ashniulu, these soldiers would freeze to death if they dared to sleep in the open air in winter, so some of them looked for shelter from the wind and lit a fire to sleep in the corner of the broken wall, while others hid in the Sleeping in the cellar - the cellar is warm and can avoid the black cannons fired by the Ming army from time to time, it is simply the top holy place for sleeping.

Besides, the number of cellars is very limited, because many cellars are buried by building debris, and the two cellars for storing military rations are extremely large, but they can accommodate up to 4000 people.

So sleeping in the cellar became the privilege of the Tartar elite. Most of the Mongolian soldiers and Western Region soldiers, except for some leaders, all slept outside.

Among the 7000 soldiers on rest, about [-] elites sleep in various large and small cellars, and the cellars are filled to the brim, which is warm.

The remaining [-] nods slept outside, shivering while scolding their mothers.

Besides, after the violent explosion in the south of the city, most of the soldiers and horses who were resting in rotation woke up.

The soldiers on the ground quickly stood up and gripped their weapons tightly, but the soldiers in the cellar were still in a daze due to lack of oxygen, and they were still a little dazed after waking up—it should be known that there were indeed people hiding from the war in the cellar at that time. function, but its hidden exhaust holes cannot be everywhere, otherwise, wouldn't the enemy be able to find it casually?There are few exhaust holes and there are many people, so it is no wonder that there is no lack of oxygen.

While they were in a daze underground, they suddenly heard a faint cry of killing from the ground.

They were even more confused.

The Ming army killed the city so quickly?
