Chapter 502 The city is broken

Chapter 502: City Destruction

Repairing the city wall before dawn is undoubtedly an outrageous request.

But under Tibur's butcher's knife, everyone in the city was mobilized and all kinds of materials were sent to the collapsed city wall.

After discovering the intentions of the Junggar people, Zhu Jinghong immediately ordered the guards to dispatch troops to carry out fire strikes at the gap.

Today's artillery is equipped with wheels, and each artillery is specially equipped with two horses to pull it, so the transfer speed is very fast.

Less than two seconds after the military order was given, artillery appeared in each gap and was loaded as quickly as possible.

But before they could launch, all the people working on it ran away, even the people who were supervising nearby.

No one wants to be beaten to pieces by the Ming army’s artillery at the next moment.

But it would not work without cultivation. After learning about the situation, Tibur sent his own guards to supervise, and forced the young men to work in the gap.

The requirement given by Tibul is that everyone only needs to go to the collapse site twice, and they can stop going today.

In this way, the young men were finally stabilized and began to climb up the city wall one after another.

Most of them were carrying stones or other things. Anyway, they had only one purpose, which was to fill up the collapsed areas with things.

But in fact, it is difficult to achieve this goal, because each gap is at least seven or eight meters wide, and filling it up is definitely a big project.

The most critical issue is that the Ming army's artillery has begun firing.

Just like this, during the battle between the two sides, the time came to the next day.

After a night of fighting, not only had the collapsed city walls not been repaired, but two places continued to collapse from both sides due to cannon bombardment.

Zhu Jinghong got up early in the morning and rode around Hami City. Finally, he decided to adjust his main attack to the west wall.

The two collapsed locations on the west wall are only a hundred meters apart. As long as these two locations are captured, the siege will be mostly completed.

Of course, while attacking these two gaps, the attack on the city wall must also be carried out.

This also means that the time for the general attack has arrived.

As Zhu Jinghong's military order was issued, the four North Guards and the four Beijing Camps began to adjust their deployment, and the entire camp began to move west of Hami.

It was a definite fact that the Ming army was going to attack in the west, so Tibur also adjusted his forces and moved the main force to the west wall.

Next, the Junggar side is still working hard to repair the city wall and build a second line of defense within the destroyed city wall.

Zhu Jinghong was aware of these situations, and he made corresponding arrangements.

At noon, when all the ministries were deployed and making final adjustments before the general attack, Zhu Jinghong came to a temporary camp.

Here, hundreds of heavily armored sergeants are waiting.

So-calledA heavy armored sergeant is a soldier wearing two layers of iron armor, carrying a load of more than forty kilograms.

These people are the "first comers" selected from the four northern guards, and all of them can be regarded as the best in the army.

Among the 20,000 soldiers, more than 200 people were selected. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are one in a hundred.

With two layers of heavy armor on their bodies, not to mention ordinary crossbows, they can also defend against fire blunderbuss. These people can be called humanoid tanks.

Of course, in front of the real humanoid tank Zhu Jinghong, these people behaved extremely obediently.

"Everyone, you will take the lead in today's general attack. Those who survive will be rewarded three hundred silver, and those who die will be able to attack hundreds of households."

Lifting up the wine bowl, Zhu Jinghong said solemnly: "This This is the guarantee made by Zhu Jinghong, you can absolutely rest assured.”

No one would doubt Zhu Jinghong’s promise, so after hearing the three hundred taels of silver reward, everyone at the scene became extremely excited.

Three hundred taels of silver is their salary for almost fifteen years. This kind of reward is worth everyone's hard work.

What's more, even if he dies in battle, his son can still get a hundred households, which is a completely profitable business.

Zhu Jinghong is indeed heroic enough, but if this news is known to the emperor, it will definitely make his heart bleed.

Each person was rewarded with three hundred silver, so for the two hundred people present, it was sixty thousand taels of silver. This was really too fast a way to spend money.

"Everyone, I would like to wish you a triumphant return"

"Cheers"

As Zhu Jinghong drank the wine in one gulp, everyone present also They all drank from the big bowl, and imitated Zhu Jinghong and smashed the bowl to pieces.

The hundred households led by "Stand at attention" issued military orders.

All the soldiers stood neatly, their eyes became particularly determined, and they had completed their transformation into killing machines.

This operation was led by four hundred households. Zhu Jinghong also made a promise to them. After the victory, they would be promoted to two ranks and sent directly to the Beijing camp to serve as thousands households.

I was promoted two levels to four levels in a row, and four people were promoted at the same time. This only happened during wartime.

"Turn right"

"Forward"

In the command of the leader Baihu, these soldiers were taken away one after another, and they would be taken to the scheduled Attacking position.

The time came to two-quarter noon, and there was still half a quarter before the attack time.

All units of the Ming army were ready, and the cloud chariots and ladders were also in place, placed 200 meters away from the city wall.

Due to yesterday's fire attack, a large number of artillery on the southern city wall of Hami were destroyed, and Tiebul made deployments from other city walls overnight.

This resulted in a shortage of artillery on the west wall, and now there are less than three left.

Tiebul can certainly redeploy artillery, but in fact there are only seven or eight that can be used, and it is of little significance to transfer them around.

Behind the Ming army’s position, there is a high platformIt was set up again, and Zhu Jinghong already appeared on the high platform.

On his left and right stood the deputy governor Liu Fang, the military censor Liang Qian and the eunuch Huang Qing.

Everyone looked solemn, because no one could predict whether the next battle would go smoothly.

"Commander, it's time to give the order," Liu Fang reminded.

Of course, the order for the general attack must be given by the coach Zhu Jinghong.

So when Liu Fang said this, the people responsible for delivering the order also looked over, waiting for Zhu Jinghong's gesture.

"Attack"

Zhu Jinghong said these two words very calmly without shouting at the top of his lungs.

Semaphore was used to convey military orders, so it took less than a minute for the order to enter the palace and the order to attack to be conveyed to the North Four Guards.

The four guards acted as planned. The artillery and catapults began to suppress fire, while the cloud carts and ladders also began to advance forward.

As for the two hundred selected warriors, they also moved forward slowly under the protection of large shields.

In fact, such a battle cannot fully demonstrate the combat effectiveness of the Northern Four Guards. After all, fire gun shooting is of little use in siege.

But even so, these Ming Dynasty's most elite troops maintained high-spirited combat effectiveness at this time, pushing forward despite shelling and arrow rain.

The muskets were not completely useless at this time. For example, the soldiers standing on the cloud cart used muskets to shoot at the city wall, which also played a certain suppressive role.

But after all, we are attacking a city, and the attacking side is naturally at a disadvantage, so the North Four Guards continue to suffer casualties.

These troops were all trained by Zhu Jinghong. To be honest, he would feel bad if one of them died, not to mention the constant casualties.

This is the time to test the general's determination, but it is also a competition of will between the two armies.

In fact, compared to the casualties of the Ming army, more people died on the Junggar side. These troops were all watched by the supervising team before they risked their lives to push against the city wall.

Watching the Ming army approaching Yun Che, and listening to the explosions and wails coming from time to time, the young men of Junggar who had been forcibly conquered were on the verge of collapse.

Soon, the cloud car was pushed to the city wall. As the door panel was lowered, the Ming army with full armor rushed towards the city wall.

"If you have made great achievements, you will be killed right away," the hundreds of households leading the team were shouting.

The Baihu level is the smallest unit for large-scale corps operations, so each attacking team is led by a Baihu team, followed by the chief and deputy Qianhu team to supervise the battle and calculate the merits.

The soldiers of the Ming army rushed to the city wall. They had high morale and dared to fight, and soon gained a firm foothold on the city wall.

Then with them as the center, more soldiers passed the cloud carts and ladders and began to climb up the city wall very quickly. Everyone knew that they must hurry up.

About two moments later, three sections of the west city wall were occupied, one of which was close to the collapsed city wall.

This means that this army canHeavy armored troops supporting ground attacks.

At this time, the heavily armored troops have also arrived at the combat position. They will serve as sharp knives to tear open the enemy's defense line, allowing the troops following them to break in smoothly.

The fighting on the ground battlefield will obviously be even more cruel.

At this time, on the high platform, Zhu Jinghong and others were holding telescopes and observing the situation on the front line.

"We can break the city today," Liu Fang said with a smile.

As a battle-hardened veteran, Liu Fang has always been very stable. Even he made such a judgment, which shows that the city is indeed stable today.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong was particularly calm.

But his eyes were still focused on the troops entering the palace on the ground. At this moment, a hole had been opened in one of them, allowing the following troops to pour into the city in large numbers.

"Captain Liu, we are celebrating in Hami City tonight, so you and I need to drink a few more drinks," Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

Liu Fang smiled when he heard this and said, "Your Highness Su Wen has a lot of knowledge, and I just want to learn a lesson today."

At this time, Huang Qing interrupted and said, "Liu Governor, you must always exercise caution." , if you are drunk, no one will wait for you."

While a few people on the high platform were chatting casually, two women on the roof of a carriage not far away were also observing with telescopes.

“Both gaps have been penetrated, and Hami’s defenders are too incompetent.”

Looking at the situation in the distance, Nuo Min made a very straightforward evaluation, but he No response was received from Qiqige.

So she put down the telescope and turned to look at Qiqige, only to find that the latter was observing the high platform with the telescope.

Qi Qige’s camera was indeed aimed at Zhu Jinghong.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Nuo Min asked knowingly.

Qiqige answered straightforwardly, "It depends on the man."

Nuomin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are also the daughter of a country, how can you say such vulgar things?" ""

Qiqige didn't have time to pay attention to Nuomin's little thoughts. She only heard her calmly say, "I found that I do like him a little bit."

"I like you but I am an enemy. How could you like him?" Nuo Min was very surprised.

Although there had been some misunderstanding before, the misunderstanding had already been clarified. Nuo Min knew that they had never been in love.

"It's just a matter of national hatred," Qiqi said, straightening her hair.

"My father has been killed by rebels. I am no longer the daughter of the Junggar Khan. Now we don’t even have any national hatred."

Although this statement is deviant, Nuo Min When I think about it carefully, I think it makes sense.

Qiqige turned around and asked with a smile, "So, why can't I like him? Is it because you like him, so I can't like him?"

At this point, Nuo Min Really speechless.

"I think my sister Bao, the current Princess Xiang, will not be so domineering."

"You"

Looking at the things I admired in the past Good sister, she has become like thisWith his "rogue" appearance, Nuo Min felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"Ignore you" Nuo Min walked away directly.

In fact, she also knew that she was not qualified to stop Qiqige from expressing her love. After all, even Princess Xiang was not qualified to do so.

Why am I still feeling uncomfortable?

Qiqige actually knows the answer to this question. This is what is called "jealousy" in the storybook.

Not to mention the quarrel between the two girls, at this moment in the Hami City position, the Ming army soldiers had successfully broken into the city, and a large section of the west city wall had also been occupied.

At this time, the usefulness of muskets became apparent. After occupying the favorable terrain, the Ming soldiers began to use firecrackers to kill the enemy.

The standard three-stage shooting, while ensuring the continuity of firepower, severely suppressed the counterattack of the Junggar defenders.

However, the most important thing is that the sweeping lethality of the muskets is a great shock to the Dzungar soldiers.

They can still continue to fight at this moment because the only remaining veterans are in front, and their numbers are running out.

Even so, these people can continue to advance because Tibul personally supervises the battle.

But even Tibur himself was on the verge of collapse at this moment. He stood on the top of the city and drew his saber, preparing to personally participate in the final counterattack.

"Sir, the North Gate has been broken open by rioters. The soldiers and people are fleeing and we can't stop them."

Hearing the news conveyed by the North Gate guard, Tibur His expression did not waver, but he shouted, "Warriors, protect your home and country, come with me to charge today."

"Kill"

Tiebul personally led the charge, This scene is indeed very tragic, but unfortunately it is destined to be the behavior of a moth flying into a flame.

The Ming army had established a foothold on the city wall and inside the city. When they saw another counterattack by the Junggar army, they all calmly pulled the trigger.

Continuous gunshots rang out. Even though Tibur was protected by a large shield, he was hit in the neck and fell to the ground.

The Ming army's shooting continued, and with the death of Tiebul, the Junggar soldiers immediately collapsed.

And this collapse triggered a larger-scale rout, and in an instant it was a complete rout.

The defeated soldiers fled in all directions, while more Ming soldiers entered the city and continued to use muskets to gain military glory.

At this moment in the North City, a large number of young men and broken soldiers are squeezing out. Leaving the city has become their only hope for survival.

They didn't even care anymore. They didn't eat or drink after leaving the city. They would also be dead by then.

What’s even more terrible is that the cavalry from the two guards of the Beijing camp are rushing here, and their purpose is also to reap military glory.

As long as there are people with weapons among them, they will all be treated as enemies.

It is foreseeable that a larger-scale killing will take place inside and outside Hami.

"Thirteenth Master, is the court here to kill people, or is it here to promote the king?"""

In front of Zhu Jinghong, Qi Qige asked this question.

Just now through the telescope, she saw the moving Beijing cavalry rushing towards the fleeing people. Go.

She understands what these people are going to do, so she stands up to stop them.

If she wants to avenge her family, she must accumulate her own strength, the people of Hami. In her opinion, it can be fought for.

"If the people of Hami are massacred, there will be no leader in Junggar, and the soldiers and civilians will fight to the death." Qiqige said the simplest truth. /p>

Zhu Jinghong is not a person who is easy to kill, let alone killing good people and taking credit for their merits, so he ordered: "Send orders to all ministries not to kill indiscriminately"

How can the imperial army be upright? Zhu Jinghong thought to himself

With his words, a senseless killing was indeed avoided, but the cleaning battle in the city continued.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and when the sun set, all the fighting was over.

The city was under martial law, and young men were recruited to collect the corpses and repair the damaged walls.

Zhu Jinghong himself, surrounded by a group of generals, entered the city from the south gate of Hami City.

He did not rush to the official area, but went to the west of the city to pay homage to the souls of the fallen heroes.

In this siege, more than 760 people from the North Guards were killed, and their corpses have been decorated.

"Stand at attention"

At first, they were overcome with emotion. It should be very good, but when he saw the corpses with their faces covered in front of him, Zhu Jinghong's heart became heavy.

"Poor bones by the Wuding River, they are like people in a spring boudoir dream." Zhu Jinghong said lowly. He murmured. Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free to find and add books can be added to the qq group 952868558
