In the rumbling drums, the Ming army advanced to the city of Nanchang on all fronts.

Among them, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, the army that attacked the east gate was the most powerful.

This is certainly related to their large number, after all, Zheng Chenggong brought a full 60,000 people in this battle.

But more because Zheng Chenggong intended to play the demeanor of the Zheng family army in this battle and leave a deep impression on His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhang Huangyan basically thinks the same way.

Compared with Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and him have never seen the Son of Heaven all year round, and they naturally lack familiarity.

At this point, I'm afraid Zheng Chenggong can't even compare with the thirteen families of Kuidong. After all, the main generals of the thirteen families of Kuidong have all been in contact with the Son of Heaven recently.

It is said that the eldest son of the Duke of Anhui was also appreciated by His Majesty and repeatedly reused and promoted.

In addition to the factor of distance, Zheng Chenggong has 100,000 troops, and he is both a powerful minister and a strong general, so it is difficult not to arouse the suspicion of the Son of Heaven.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor didn't say it on his face, he must still be wary in his heart.

In this case, Zheng Chenggong needs to spare no effort to attack the city to win the trust of the Son of Heaven.

Only in this way will the Son of Heaven think that Zheng Chenggong is absolutely trustworthy and will not have any hidden behavior.

As for whether Zheng Chenggong can break the city first, it depends on luck.

Zhang Huangyan didn't force it, he just hoped that he wouldn't lose to others in terms of momentum.

Compared with when they first met Zheng Chenggong, now the two of them have grown a lot, and they are no longer as open as when they were young.

But at critical times, we must show the fearless spirit of being young and frivolous.

Zheng Jiajun was mainly foot soldiers.

This is a great advantage in siege warfare.

After all, the role of cavalry in siege warfare is minimal, and in the end you have to jump off your horse and run to the corner.

The foot soldiers themselves have rich experience in hand-to-hand combat, and the Zheng Jiajun has rich experience in naval warfare, so there is a great similarity between broadside warfare and siege warfare to a certain extent.

Therefore, Zhang Huangyan is not worried about the efficiency of siege.

He looked around, and among the nearly 200,000 troops of the Ming army, in addition to the excellent armor of the Tiger Army, the armor of the Zheng Family Army was the most in place.

Not to mention the Iron Man Army, which is simply armed to the teeth.

With this kind of armor on the body, it is undoubtedly the best protection for soldiers.

"Brother Cangshui, let's beat the drums together."

Zheng Chenggong was obviously very excited.

He waited for so long, and finally waited for the opportunity to fight with the Son of Heaven.

This opportunity is not easy to come by, he must perform as much as possible and not let the Son of Heaven look down on Zheng Jiajun.

"Good!"

Zhang Huangyan was older than Zheng Chenggong, but this time he was aroused by Zheng Chenggong, walked to Zheng Chenggong's side, picked up a drumstick and said excitedly: "Let's come together!" ”

Under the sound of drums, the Zheng family army had already advanced under the city wall.

The rain of arrows shot from the city head had little impact on Zheng Jiajun, like tickling.

This once again proves the importance of armor.

If the Zheng family army was equipped with the cotton armor of the Qing army, I am afraid that it would have suffered heavy casualties before it reached the city wall.

The fully enveloped armor ensured the safety of the soldiers to the greatest extent and also ensured their combat effectiveness.

This sight scared the Qing soldiers at the head of the city.

How do you break through an invulnerable enemy?

This round of arrow rain is equivalent to shooting in vain.

Seeing that the Ming army had already begun to build a cloud ladder, the Qing general defending the city hurriedly ordered to prepare to roll wood and stones.

The armor of the Ming army could defend against arrows, but it was impossible to defend against rolling wood and stones.

The impact of this thing on your body was huge enough to smash the internal organs.

Even if he didn't die at the time, he wouldn't have survived the serious internal injuries.

The city has a very good stock of equipment to defend the city, and there are many supplies in various parts of the city.

The Qing army did not hesitate to smash the rolling wood and stones towards the city, for fear that the Zheng Jiajun would stand firm and climb steadily.

Zheng Jiajun's soldiers climbed very fast, but they still seemed a little overwhelmed when they encountered the falling rolling logs and stones.

From time to time, a soldier was hit and fell down from the ladder, letting out a scream.

Most of them were internally wounded, writhing in pain, and rolling incessantly.

But the soldiers in the back row did not hesitate, they filled the vacancy and quickly crawled towards the city.

The Ming army erected a large number of ladders, which made the Qing soldiers at the head of the city unable to take care of each other.

If you can take care of this side, you can't take care of that side, and gradually some Iron Man soldiers climbed to half of the city wall.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qing general of the city guard hurriedly ordered to prepare for the Yaksha shooting.

The Yaksha beat can be described as the greatest weapon to defend the city, and it can sweep away a large number of enemy troops with a single shot.

The Qing soldiers all urged the winch with all their strength at the sound of the order, and the Yaksha beat was pulled up under the combined force.

"Put!"

As soon as the Qing general gave the order, the soldiers smashed the Yaksha down.

The powerful impact went straight down, slamming towards the Iron Man soldiers on the ladder.

The Iron Man soldiers are tall and tall, and they are often able to use their ultimate advantages in broadside battles.

But at this moment, their disadvantages are also unmistakable.

They are too tall and very targeted.

In the face of the swooping down Yaksha beat, it was difficult for them to adjust their position and couldn't dodge at all.

As soon as the shot fell, more than a dozen Iron Man soldiers were swept away.

Although the full-body armor ensured that they did not have to worry about their lives, it was inevitable that they would fall down and suffer hard injuries.

They slammed to the ground with a muffled thud.

There is even a crisp sound of bones clicking and breaking, which makes people's hearts tighten.

Zheng Chenggong saw all this, but he didn't hesitate at all.

On the battlefield, life and death are inevitable.

In order to take Nanchang, it is worth it no matter how many soldiers die.

He Zheng Chenggong will definitely treat the families of these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and will never let their widows and children suffer and starve.

Knock knock knock... Zheng Chenggong's drum beat was more urgent.

The soldiers also seemed to be inspired by the rapid sound of the snare drums, and they charged more without hesitation.

The Qing army at the head of the city changed waves, but they could not stop the offensive of the Zheng army, so they could only try their best to delay it.

"Quick, go and report to Hong Jingluo, just say that Dongcheng is about to be unbearable, please ask his old man to send troops to help quickly."

The back of the Qing general is already soaked.

Although he can barely withstand it now, if this momentum continues, it will be difficult to say in another half an hour.

The number of Qing troops at the head of Nanchang City was sufficient, and it could be adjusted in time according to the battle situation.

"Order!"

The herald turned on his horse, whipped his horse and galloped away.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Riding a horse at the head of the city is a dangerous thing. But now I don't care about that much.

In order to keep the city gate safe, reinforcements must be brought in time.

The situation of the battle changed rapidly, and the advantage of transferring reinforcements to defend the city earlier was a little greater.
