Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 12
When Zhu Youjian and Ah Qing climbed to the top of the city, they immediately saw the overwhelming army of rogues outside the city, rushing down the city at a glance.The three generals, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, and Qi Jiguang, all glared angrily at the army of rogues outside the city, their eyes spitting fire.

The [-] new troops held Vulcan guns in their hands, and their guns were all aimed at the army of rogues under the city.

The officers and soldiers of the Eight Thousand Shenji Battalion also held guns in their hands, and a hundred red cannons stood beside them.

Of the 1 Qi's army, 5000 held muskets and [-] held bombs.

The other part held shields in their hands, and they were always ready to rush up and use their shields to block the rain of arrows for other brothers when the opponent shot arrows.

This was the first time for Zhu Youjian to see such a large-scale battle at the scene, but he didn't panic, but instead aroused his strong fighting spirit.

Seeing Zhu Youjian coming up, the faces of Sun Chengzong and others changed, and they hurried forward to salute:

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't come up here. It's too dangerous. We are enough here. Come and protect the Emperor back to the palace."

"Pull down, do you think I'm a vase? Not only today, the bandits will not be wiped out, and the captives will not be expelled. I will personally lead the conquest, focus on the battle, and leave me alone."

The three of them looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces, but none of them dared to disobey Zhu Youjian's order, and turned to look outside the city.

"Come up with the shield, pay attention to protect the emperor, if there is any problem with the emperor, you will all die."

"Yes"

Dozens of soldiers with shields in their hands hurried forward to protect Zhu Youjian firmly. Zhu Youjian had a black thread on his head.

But he knew that everyone was doing it for his own good, and Zhu Youjian didn't refuse again.

The army of rogues outside the city was getting closer and closer, and Sun Chengzong waved the flag in his hand:
"fire"

"Rumble..."

The ground shook for a while, and the city walls felt like they were shaking. Fifty cannons in red began to bombard the army of rogues.

Hundreds of cannons bombarded the army of rogues outside the city in turn, and there was a haze of smoke outside the city.

Those who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and before they got up, the shells from behind came one after another, and the army of rogues fell one by one.

After several rounds of bombardment, it is conservatively estimated that two thousand bandits have been turned into cannon fodder, but these people are really desperate and are still rushing forward desperately.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, two gangsters, were wandering around drinking and chatting. They didn't take the capital seriously at all.

There are their internal support in the city, and at the critical moment, they come to cooperate with the internal and external, and easily win the capital in one fell swoop, a lot of money, and the women in the palace are all theirs.

"Report to Chuang Wang's army division. The city should not fight at all. They defended the city with all their strength. The artillery fire was fierce. The brothers suffered heavy casualties. General Liu asked to withdraw the infantry and cavalry and go to the firearms battalion."

Both Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing were taken aback. They had already received information that there were not many artillery pieces in the city.

Even if there are some artillery, there is not much ammunition. What is going on today, and there are not many defensive troops. Could there be a major intelligence error?

Li Zicheng's face darkened, and he looked at Niu Jinxing:
"Military division, your internal information is unreliable, what should we do now?"

Niu Jinxing laughed loudly:
"Don't worry, the emperor. There are not many troops in the city. They are all remnants and defeated generals. There are no shells. He ordered Liu Zongmin to change his formation to avoid the shelling and continue to attack."

"Yes"

The messenger immediately passed Niu Jinxing's order to Liu Zongmin:

"Report to the general, and the military adviser instructed that there are not many shells in the city, so don't worry, change the formation and attack the city strongly."

"Change Nima, good you Niu Jinxing, you won't have back pain while standing and talking, I'm here to work hard, Nima is drinking in the back, wait for me to capture the capital, and see how this general will deal with you."

Liu Zongmin is not even afraid of Li Zicheng, let alone Niu Jinxing, who has saved Li Zicheng's life many times before.

He even killed his two wives in order to follow Li Zicheng.

While cursing Niu Jinxing, he looked up at the hundred red cannons on the capital city, and Liu Zongmin wiped the cold sweat off his head.

"Pass my order, advance in a one-word formation, quickly advance to the capital city, forcibly ascend the city, the first to climb to the top of the city, after breaking the city, the woman is up to you to choose."

The Chuang army is not only a peasant army, but also some rogues, who have experienced many massacres.

After hearing Liu Zongmin's promise, the team quickly turned into dozens of long teams, all forming a sub-shape and continuing to rush forward.

There were about 10 troops in this siege, and most of them were recruits, that is, cannon fodder.

They attacked the city with infantry, and the cavalry waited behind to attack. Although they charged in a straight line, from the top of the city, they were densely packed with people.

Qi Jiguang was the commander-in-chief of the city defense. Seeing the formation of the Chuang army, he immediately understood Liu Zongmin's intentions, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Jiguang's mouth.

"Command, change the shells.

"Yes"

The blooming ammunition was exchanged by Zhu Youjian from the system mall last night, about 5. Because the army of rogues changed, the original shells were much less lethal.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion immediately began to load the cannons with explosive ammunition, and as Qi Jiguang waved the command flag:
"fire"

"Rumble..."

Fifty cannons rang again, and bullets exploded not far from the Chuangjun. They didn't take it seriously at the beginning, and they thought it was the previous shells.

But after the bombs exploded, these intruders were miserable. After the explosive shells exploded, gunpowder and debris flew around, killing a large area.

Even if they changed their formation, they still couldn't avoid the tyrannical bombardment of the bombs. The wolves who were bombed again broke into the army, crying and howling, screaming continuously, and people fell down in rows.

After several rounds of bombardment by hundreds of cannons, there were nearly 1 casualties, but they did not flinch, and continued to carry the ladder to the city.

Seeing so many casualties under his command, Liu Zhongmin screamed in anger. While scolding Niu Jinxing, he also swore that once the capital was broken, he would absolutely bloodbath the capital of Ming Dynasty and avenge his brothers.

The Chuang army also had firearms and red cannons, all of which were disarmed from the Ming army.

But the amount that can be used is not very large, and the gunpowder is not enough, so it is easy to use it until the critical time.

After paying the price of nearly [-] casualties, the Chuang army finally rushed to the range of the bow and arrow. Liu Zongmin gave an order, and the Chuang army began to shoot at the city with bows and arrows.

The distance was too close, and the artillery almost lost its effect. Qi Jiguang waved the command flag again:
"Stop the bombardment. The new army is ready to shoot firearms. The Shenji Battalion is ready to explode. Once the enemy gets close to the city wall, hit me hard."

"Decree"

A shower of arrows came, and the soldiers immediately rushed to everyone with their shields in hand, and used their shields to block the arrows from the city.
