331 First Battle of the Inner City

。 I looked out through the arrowholes, and saw armies marching up the streets and the sea, gradually gathering together in front of the moat of the inner city. The outer city was full of houses, the open space was limited, and the large-scale army assembly was difficult, which caused the otherwise well-disciplined rebel army to fall into a lot of confusion, and the establishment was disrupted by the constraints of the streets.

The assembly of the rebels took significantly longer than before, and the noisy and noisy noise lasted for most of the hour, and all the troops involved in the attack were entering their respective attack positions.

An order was issued, and ten thousand cannons were fired in unison.

Since the construction of the outer city, Zhengyangmen, which has been unpaid for more than 100 years, suddenly fell into a sea of fire.

In the explosion of the earth shaking the mountain, wolf smoke rose everywhere, and the city wall was in disarray.

The defenders retreated into the Arrow Towers, Towers, and Urns, and the enemy artillery fire seemed to be infinitely powerful, but the damage to the defenders was minimal.

Listening carefully to the sound of artillery in the distance, as expected, the rebels listed Xuanwu Gate, Chongwen Gate, Dongxibian Gate and Zhengyang Gate as the main attack direction, and the artillery fire was extremely fierce. Fortunately, after abandoning the outer city, the defenders of the outer city were strengthened above the gates, otherwise these gates would be really dangerous in the face of the rebels' unconventional onslaught.

The heavy shelling lasted for half an hour, and the city walls, gatehouses, urn cities, and arrow towers were full of rubble, gunsmoke, and devastation caused by artillery fire.

The rebels included Dongbianmen, Xuanwumen, and Chongwenmen in the direction of their main attack, and did not actually disperse their forces. The rebels were outnumbered, and the large army was constrained by the terrain of the inner city, so it was impossible to deploy all its forces, and a large number of troops had to be confined to the narrow streets and have nothing to do. After the division of troops, the strength of one part of the army is strengthened to the four gates such as the east and west gates, so as to maximize the advantages of the strength of the troops.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the shouts that resounded inside and outside the capital rang out, and the rebels launched a charge......

As the rebels charged, the defenders who were hiding from the artillery fire in the towers, arrow towers, and urns immediately rushed out and prepared to engage the rebels with the city walls.

As far as Zhengyangmen is concerned, its attack method is not much different from that of attacking Yongding Gate, it is still the same set, first fill the river, and then climb.

&n

bsp; I didn't leave the tower, the battle was already at the last moment, if I was killed by the rebels on the city wall, the defenders would be discouraged, and it would be difficult to hold the capital again. Of course, you can also think that I am afraid of death......

I let Fang Shan lead 400 people out of the city tower, only he and Wei Dayong around him, although I want Wei Dayong to make more military achievements, and it is good to have a good name in the future when he officially sets foot in the military world, but he is only the captain of my personal soldiers at this time, throughout history, there is no commander who sent his own personal soldier captain out as soon as he went to the battlefield, right? If you send your own soldiers to the battlefield at every turn, this may lead to the consequences, the veterans on the battlefield understand that even the soldiers are sent out, it is really a critical moment, at this time, they may feel that defeat is inevitable, it is better to escape! Therefore, unless it is at the most critical juncture, as the day before yesterday, in order to recover the city wall, I have to send him out, otherwise the commander will not use his own personal soldiers lightly, because the personal soldiers are the weather vane of the battle situation, and if they are used wrongly, they may be the end of defeat and death. Of course, I still have Luo Rou and Xue'er by my side, but I don't want to go out myself, how can I go out with my own woman? Fang Shan has no opinion, it's good to fight a battle, and he definitely likes to see the most dangerous battle in the most dangerous place, so he naturally received the military order excitedly.
