Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 13 Victory in the First Battle
Rogues are not good at archery, and the strength of bows and arrows is not very great.Many of the shots to the top of the city were almost exhausted, and they were all caught by the shield wall one after another. There were almost no casualties among the defenders.

He has always been bad at siege warfare, positional warfare is the rogue's favorite tactic, and Sun Chuanting died in positional warfare.

The rogues who attacked the city were all infantry, and they were all prepared for the siege. The cavalry did not move at all behind, and only when the city gate was opened, they began to rush together.

Zhu Youjian watched the fierce siege with all his attention. Suddenly, a group of people rushed to the top of the city, men, women, children, and everyone, and were stopped by soldiers immediately.

The commander-in-chief of the new army stepped forward and shouted:
"Who? Everyone retreat, this is an important military location, otherwise everyone will die."

Seeing the guns aimed at them by the soldiers, the people who came all stopped, but they were still shouting:

"Officer, let us go up quickly, we are here to guard the city, otherwise Daming will be finished if the city is destroyed, we will live and die with Daming."

"Defend the city? Are you kidding me?"

Although the commander was also infected by the loyalty of these people, he still hesitated when he saw these people. There were all kinds of people, men, women, old and young.

He didn't dare to make a decision, and hurriedly reported to Zhu Youjian:
"Report to the emperor, many people have come, and they want to go to the top of the city to defend the city."

"Oh, who are these people?"

Zhu Youjian felt strange, turned around and walked in front of the group of people, his heart warmed, and he couldn't help being moved.

According to historical records, when the capital city was broken, there were no people guarding the city at all, perhaps referring to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and some Jinyiwei.

Today, these people are almost all eunuchs and court ladies, and there is no record in history.

I saw a large group of eunuchs and maids, more than 200 people, all holding weapons.

Some court ladies obviously lacked martial arts, and they staggered a bit when walking while carrying spears.

Although most of the people who came here were powerless.

But all the eunuchs and maids dared to come, and they all had a heart of loyalty. This was the only person in the capital who was willing to help Zhu Youjian.

The eunuchs themselves were slaves of the emperor, and their path came to an end when the Ming Dynasty collapsed, but civil and military officials were different, they could sell their masters for glory and beg for mercy.

The maids and eunuchs of Qianqing Palace were all driven away by Emperor Chongzhen the day before yesterday. These eunuchs and eunuchs must be from other palaces, and Zhu Youjian has almost never seen them.

Now the Chuang army is shooting arrows at the top of the city, these people can't come up at all, otherwise there will be casualties, Zhu Youjian hurriedly asked the soldiers to stop all these people.

"Listen to me, everyone, I can understand the mood, but don't come up, all retreat, you have no experience in this field at all, and you may be shot to death by bows and arrows when you come up."

When the group of eunuchs and court ladies saw Zhu Youjian, they all knelt down and cried loudly. Who would have thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would stand at the top of the city and guard the capital himself.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. You can defend the city in person. Of course, we must do our best, whether it's for ourselves or Daming, even if we are smashed to pieces..."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"You all go down, my army will definitely be able to defend the capital, if you really want to do your part for Daming, go help those fire-headed troops, they need you even more."

"This... Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Youjian's words were the imperial decree. These people looked up at the mighty army on the top of the city, and they all obediently went to the Huotou army for help. There was no problem with washing and cooking.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

As soon as these people walked down the top of the city, there was another rain of arrows on the top of the city, but most of them were blocked by the shields, and no casualties were caused.

As the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty temporarily appointed by Zhu Youjian, Qi Jiguang looked at those archery bandits with contempt, and couldn't help laughing:

"Rebels, now let you taste the taste of my big open fire guns and flowering bullets, and light the fire."

Qi Jiguang gave an order, and the eight thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion ignited the bombs in their hands one after another in order, and threw them row by row at the rogue army attacking the city.

At the same time, the firearms in the hands of the [-] new army and the Qi family army also started to fire at the same time.

"Rumble..."

"Bang bang..."

With a loud noise, these flowering bombs and firecrackers exploded on their heads and around them, and the siege bandits fell down in an instant, but the attack on the top of the city did not stop and continued.

One by one flowering bullets fell from the sky, like a rain of flowering bullets, including rockets and shrapnel fired by firecrackers.

"Brothers, it's terrible, the Ming army is too fierce, we can't get close to the top of the city at all, retreat quickly."

"What are you going to withdraw? If the general doesn't order it, it will be a dead end if you withdraw. It's better to climb up. If you survive, you will have money and women..."

"Boom bang..."

The rogue soldiers who were still thinking about climbing to the top of the wall just now were suddenly hit by a few explosive bullets, and a dozen of them fell down in an instant, and the money of this woman was instantly wiped out.

In less than half a stick of incense, the city was already full of corpses of rogues. The army of [-] rogues who attacked the city just now had more than half of their casualties, basically losing their combat effectiveness.

Seeing that there were too many casualties from the bandits ahead, Hao Yaoqi gave an order, and the [-] Ming soldiers under his command began to attack the city gate.

"fire"

Seeing the reinforcements from the bandits, Qi Jiguang ordered to fire again.

Immediately, countless shells exploded in the army of rogues attacking the city, knocking them all off their feet. Just as they attacked the city, the explosive shells exploded on top of their heads.

This siege of the city can be said to be the most difficult since the founding of the Rogues, and it was also the one with the greatest casualties. Seeing all the soldiers under his command fall down, Liu Zongmin's eyes burst into flames.

But he suppressed his anger and ordered in a panic:
"Order to suspend the siege."

Although these rogues were brave and not afraid of death, who would want to die if they were alive? When they heard the order to withdraw, they immediately began to retreat quickly.

Seeing Liu Zongmin retreating, Hao Yaoqi also felt that the fight could not continue like this, and then ordered to retreat.

"Give me an order to suspend the siege and retreat five miles."

The first siege battle, the rogues ended in failure, leaving corpses and broken limbs all over the ground, and the rogue army retreated in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, look, the bandits stopped attacking the city and began to retreat. Shall we go out and kill them for a while, and kill all the people who attacked the city today."

Sun Chuanting pointed at the retreating bandits, wanting to go out of the city to fight.

Zhu Youjian shook his head:
"We are not going to fight today. There are still many things to do in the city. Tomorrow, I will let you have a good time, check the gunpowder and the wounded, and make up all the supplies you need."

"obey"

Although the rogues failed to attack the city, the rogues still had hundreds of thousands of troops. Once they were surrounded by them, it would be troublesome. There were too many ants and they would kill the elephant.

Not long after, Qi Jiguang came to report:

"Your Majesty, 130 people were injured, but the injuries were not serious. Most of them were caused by poor quality firearms and accidental injuries by our own people."

"What? With so many accidental injuries, how much gunpowder and explosive bombs are there?"

Hearing that he accidentally injured a hundred people, Zhu Youjian was shocked. It seemed that they needed to change their equipment, otherwise it would be dangerous if such a situation happened again when the bandits attacked the city with all their strength.
