The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 79
The sky has turned pale, the sky is slowly becoming brighter, and the darkness is rapidly dissipating.

The sound of gunfire in Nancheng was no longer loud, only scattered sounds echoed.

Chen Wang saw fiery red banners flying above the towers of Nancheng.

Shortly thereafter, there was the sound of the trumpet cannon—that was the signal to recapture the gate of the southern city.

After the original city gate of Nancheng was captured, Jingqi entered the city to create chaos first.

The invading army in the west city can then directly transfer to the direction of the south city, enter Chunhua city directly through the gate of the south city, and control the entire Chunhua city in one fell swoop.

But the Chuangjun outside the west city obviously did not have this opportunity.

Before the Chuangjun's fine cavalry had even fully entered the south city, Chen Wang had already led more than [-] Liao cavalry out of the west city, directly smashing their formation.

The Chuang army in the west city fell into collapse, so there was no chance to go to the south city.

Only more than [-] elite cavalry from the Chuangjun army entered the Nancheng.

From the very beginning when they entered Nancheng, they jumped into the trap carefully prepared by Chen Wang.

Early in the morning, Chen Wang asked the craftsmen in the city to build strong shield vehicles and cannon vehicles, with spikes on the top, and muzzles and muzzles on the bottom.

This kind of shield car and gun car can not only prevent the impact, but also enable the soldiers behind to arouse the firearms in their hands unscrupulously.

This is not a whimsical idea, nor is it whimsical.

It's just that the set of Cheying in the Ming Dynasty was moved from the plains to the streets and alleys.

At the same time, pad walls were set up under the square walls facing the street, in order to allow a group of bird gunmen to stand just behind the wall, leaving only the shooting position.

The tiger squatting gun is used as a sharp weapon in close combat and public security warfare, the bird gun provides long-distance killing, and the square wall and car camp provide shelter.

A group of elite cavalry who entered the city did not expect to encounter such a situation at all. They thought that the night attack was successful and they were preparing to kill all directions, so they didn't have much vigilance at all.

After entering the city, they encountered various blows and fire suppression from the Ming army and fell into chaos for a while, unable to move forward.

However, they are the elite of the army after all, and they also have sufficient experience in street fighting.

Soon he thought of climbing over the wall of the square, passing through the square and directly crossing the Ming army guarding the streets and alleys.

But when they climbed over the square wall, they found that the guards holding spears behind the square wall had been waiting for a long time.

Those guard officers in armor led a small number of servants, commanding a group of guards who had already opened their net pockets, waiting for them to jump into the wall.

Although the guards were weak and their morale was low, the spears they held in their hands could stab people to death.

It's not thousands of troops to face, but just a few intruders who have climbed over the wall.

Many people came over the wall without even taking weapons, so there is no deterrence.

All the fine cavalry who came over the wall without exception fell under the spears of the guards.

The few bandits who bravely broke through the gun formation were also chopped down to the ground by the officers of the guards and their servants.

The reason why these officers of the Guards were so desperate was not because of bravery.

It's because they know that once the city is broken, they will all be killed by the Chuangjun.

And even if they didn't rush into the army to kill them, Chen Wang couldn't spare them.

At the beginning, when the soldiers were dispatched in the school field, One Thousand Households was a little late, and when the third drum stopped, it was on the outskirts of the school field.

But Chen Wang didn't show any tolerance, and directly ordered left and right to take him to the school grounds.

Hang the Qianhu who was late and the more than ten famous servants who followed him.

Under the threat of more than a dozen human lives, and the orders issued by Hong Chengchou were placed on the desk, no one would dare to disobey them.

A group of fine cavalry who broke into the army were trapped on the street like this and could not be stored.

But they encountered obstacles and setbacks, but they did not collapse, and they were still trying to win.

After all, they have already entered the city, and they are at an advantage psychologically.

As a result, the battle situation in Nancheng was at a stalemate for a while, and even the Jingqi who broke into the army once gained an advantage.

However, all the advantages were lost when the gate of Nancheng was suddenly closed.

The Chuang army guarding the gate of the south city fled first, and the Ming army ambushed on the east and west walls of the two rounds took down the gate of the south city with little effort.

It directly turned the Chuangjun Jingqi who entered the city into a turtle in the urn, and it became the last straw that crushed the Chuangjun Jingqi's psychological defense line.

The battle turned from a stalemate to the side of the Ming army in an instant, and more and more cavalry who broke into the army put down their swords and guns and knelt down and surrendered.

Facing the official army, the rogues' fighting will is actually not strong.

Fight if you can beat it, flee if you can't beat it, surrender if you can't escape it, this is their purpose.

Anyway, as long as they surrender, almost all officers and soldiers accept it.

Ordinary old and weak are repatriated to their hometowns, and these elite cavalry are usually incorporated into the army, and their lives are safe.

By the time Chen Wang led his troops to Nancheng, the battle in Nancheng had basically ended, leaving only sporadic resistance.

But Chen Wang didn't feel relieved because the cavalry he sent to deliver the order turned back.

When Chen Wang boarded the tower of the West City, he also had a panoramic view of everything outside Chunhua City.

The entire eastern suburbs of Chunhua were full of fleeing bandits, and a huge crowd flocked like a wave, almost covering most of the wilderness.

Crowds of people swarmed and fled, some fled towards the direction of the north city, and some fled towards the direction of the south city.

Like krill swarms that come together to avoid whale predation.

"Let all the people outside Beicheng withdraw with their captives, immediately!"

Chen Wang cast his eyes on Beicheng, and ordered in a deep voice.

The rout soldier only thought about fleeing, but his fear had already swallowed him, and he lost most of his sanity.

If the soldiers in the northern suburbs were not withdrawn in time, once the defeated troops swept in, they would inevitably be engulfed by them.

The fire in the barracks was still spreading, and it might not take long before it would spread to the entire camp.

The number of people who died directly or indirectly because of this fire may exceed [-].

"These broken soldiers..."

Rao has fought battles for so many years, but this is the first time Zhao Huailiang has seen such a scene.

The broken soldiers who attacked the front battalion turned back because of the fire.

"Close the four doors tightly, and ignore the rout outside the city."

Chen Wang glanced at the wave of broken soldiers who were separated. The solution to these broken soldiers is very simple.

Let them continue to flee for their lives, and when they regain their senses, they will be in a state of exhaustion.

At that time, it will be easy to capture them all without any effort.

Chen Wang paused for a moment, the sky has brightened a lot, and his vision has expanded a lot.

He had already seen a group of cavalry gathered under the foothills not far from the city, and the red flag was flying in the cavalry.

The sky is full of red fire in the distance, and everything in the city is completely silent.

The battle is over, the curtain has fallen.

　There are some special circumstances today, so only one chapter is updated, I am really sorry.

　　Today's update will be added tomorrow.
