Early morning.

There is fog.

Windy.

In the fog under Jinling City, countless strong men raised their swords and hung their armor, lined up in an offensive formation, staring at the city wall.

These are all Zhu Wu's personal guards in the Chinese army, and the most brave and daring warriors in the Dingyuan army.

Since crossing the river, the hard battles and evil battles have all been made meritorious contributions to the camp in the spring.

The capture of the barbarian Hague was also done by the backward Fu Youde, these old brothers that Zhu Wu relied on the most, were so ashamed that they were ashamed of themselves.

Just last night, after Zhu Wu said that he could use explosives to break the city. The Chinese army of the pro-guards asked for battle one after another, and they vowed not to return the city if they did not break it.

From the homeless beggars of Haozhou to today's strong army in Huaixi.

Along the way, I don't know how many old brothers died on the battlefield, but this army has never flinched, let alone regretted it.

Because, they know that if they want to survive in this troubled world, they can only rely on the swords and guns in their hands.

At the head of Jinling City, an officer and sergeant stretched his neck and looked down at the city.

The black head was crushed, with a murderous aura, and its cold gaze was like a wolf staring at its prey.

Suddenly, the soldier's neck shrunk and kicked his partner beside him.

"Hey, look, what are those state thieves doing?"

The companion woke up in his sleep, glanced at it, and muttered, "Prepare for a siege!" What else can you do, hurry up and sleep for a while, you won't have time to rest when you fight! ”

Under the city, the attacking Dingyuan army was like an arrow, and the front of the arrow was Zhu Wu.

Behind him is Guo Xing, who has just recovered from a serious injury, Li Sai and the new deputy commander of the guard, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu, who is eager for meritorious service.

All the sergeants in the guards were clad in thick iron armor and armed to the teeth.

In the team of nearly 10,000 people, not a single one spoke, and even the air seemed to freeze.

These warriors are waiting, like a pack of wolves waiting for the command of the head wolf.

"It's almost there, isn't it?"

Zhu Wu raised his head, looked at the faint morning light on the horizon, and spat out a breath of hot air from his mouth.

Rumble!!!!

In this moment, in a moment.

There seemed to be a thunderous explosion coming from underground.

However, the voice was ten times louder than Ray.

For a while, the heavens and the earth were trembling, and the huge walls of Jinling City trembled in the sound of explosions.

The soldiers of the city felt woken up from their sleep, and stood up clutching the city walls.

I saw that the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and under the city wall, the earth was bursting, the soil was rolling, and it seemed that a dragon had broken through the ground.

Countless soldiers shouted in horror, "The earth dragon has turned over!" ”

Bang!

Heaven and earth were completely subverted at this moment, and a corner of the Jinling city wall suddenly shattered out of thin air.

Countless large stone and blue bricks flew in the sound of explosions, and thick smoke erupted from the rammed earth inside.

At this moment, both the official army and the Dingyuan army were stunned.

The sound of the explosion continued, the tall and sturdy city wall twisted, and it struggled unwillingly in the explosion, but the more it struggled, the more it collapsed, and the impregnable wall was now like a broken house, as if it was about to fall with a kick.

Rumble!

After the last loud bang, there was a brief silence between heaven and earth,

Then, the sound of rubble and smoke rising into the sky hung over the ground.

"The city wall~~ The city wall has collapsed!!"

After a short period of sluggishness, the officers and soldiers in the city cried and cried out.

And Zhu Wu under the city has already pulled out his waist knife.

The smoke was quickly blown away by the cold wind, and a huge gap appeared in the walls of Jinling City.

Broken stones and rammed earth, to the attacking Dingyuan army. A path forward is paved.

"Brethren!"

There are no grandiose words, no promises of heavy rewards, only Zhu Wu's shouts.

"Kill it, break the city!"

"Kill!"

The officers and soldiers in the city ran around like flies, and the soldiers were in a mess.

Under the city, a torrent, under the guidance of the Dingyuan Army's Zhuzi banner, howled and rushed up.

The spear is like a forest, and it looks at it.

The first row went up.

The second row went up.

Third row ~~~

The soldiers of the official army had no intention of fighting again, and the Dingyuan army was not facing swords and guns, but the enemy's back.

Fu Youde went up.

Guo Xing went up.

The banner of Zhu Zi was finally planted at the head of Jinling City, and the three armies under the city were thunderous.

More and more non-commissioned soldiers, led by officers, invaded Jinling. Within half an hour, the outer city of Jinling fell.

In the winter of the twelfth year of Yuan Zhizheng, Zhu's five armies besieged Jinling for ten days, and the bloody battle was not overcome.

Xi Yingzhen offered a plan to dig tunnels and buried more than 600 sacks of gunpowder under Jinling City.

On the second day, the city of Jinling was broken.

The Yuan general Fushou led more than 700,000 soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender.

Dayuan lost the southeast town, and after Zhu Wu defeated Toto, he became famous all over the world again.

Liu Futong in the north and Zhu Wu in the south have become a big problem for Meng Yuan's henchmen.

~~~~~~

The smoke of gunpowder in Jinling City has not yet dissipated, and the originally prosperous thousand-year-old city is full of devastation.

The street was full of Dingyuan soldiers who were searching along the street under the leadership of the officer.

The people of the city, through the cracks in the door, watched these new conquerors with trepidation, praying for the safety of the gods and Buddhas and their homes.

This fear is not superfluous, war is the wanton revelry of the conqueror in the land of the loser, and the gold and silver women are the spoils of the victor.

Zhu Wu and the generals of the Dingyuan army, with their own soldiers, walked slowly in the city.

The thousand-year-old capital really lives up to its name, just looking at the shops on the market, it is more than ten times more prosperous than the cities in Huaixi.

It's just that at this time, the doors of these shops are closed, and the streets and alleys are empty, and there is no one in sight.

"So many brothers, they worked hard to build this city, it's worth it!" Zhu Wu opened his mouth and said a small way.

Guo Xing, who followed behind him, replied with a smile, "Fifth brother, you said, it's good to spend the New Year in Jinling, I think it's not just a good New Year, we can have a fat year!" ”

Everyone laughed, the wealth of Jinling was beyond imagination, after the surrender, Li Shanchang led people to count the treasury, and the old Li, who had always been unfazed, was so excited that he couldn't do it.

The grain and grass in the warehouse are like mountains of gold and silver, and there are countless ordnance.

Swords, guns, armor, bows and arrows can arm an army of 50,000, and grain and grass can supply an army of 100,000 to eat with an open belly for three years.

What is the concept of three years?

In the past three years, Zhu Wu has developed calmly, established a good civil affairs team, and let the people cultivate their voices. Organize soldiers to be self-sufficient. In the future, even if there are 200,000 armored soldiers in the Dingyuan Army, logistics can always maintain a virtuous circle.

Moreover, there are 5,000 craftsmen in Jinling City.

There are only a few craftsmen in Hezhou, and it is already a treasure bump that Zhu Wu can't live without, with these 5,000 people, guns can be built, and huge ships can also be built. On the ground and on the water, the Dingyuan army can walk sideways.

Zhu Wu walked silently like this, thinking silently.

The brothers behind him were talking and laughing.

Suddenly, a suppressed scream shattered the silence of the street.

Zhu Wu followed the sound and looked over, only to see a few ghostly soldiers, quietly climbing out of the courtyard wall of a house.

On his body, he is still carrying a heavy burden.

"It's a soldier of the Dingyuan Army!"

Zhu Wu's eyes were on fire, and he ordered Wu Wu not to infringe on the people, but someone still wanted to hit him with a knife.

He never counted on his troops, and he really did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and he couldn't control his heart by killing the red-eyed soldiers.

As long as he is not caught by the law enforcement team, he generally does not deliberately pursue it.

However, as soon as he entered the city, he was under his nose when this happened.

"Sappy, catch them!"

"Yes!" The soldiers all led their horses, mounted their horses and galloped, and the horses' hooves made a crisp sound on the stone road.

Zhu Wu turned his head and looked at the generals of the Dingyuan Army who followed him with a gloomy face, and everyone did not dare to make eye contact with him.

"Send someone to that house!" Zhu Wu said again.

At this moment, there was a commotion ahead.

"Several, we are all siblings, can we make it alone?"

"My brother has a few lard hearts, and I won't dare to do it again!"

"These belongings, a few brothers took them~~"

But despite the shouting of a few people, Zhu Wu's personal soldiers still used knives and guns to drive them in front of Zhu Wu.

"Total~~ Chief!"

When the offending soldier saw Zhu Wu, his face turned white, and he fell to the ground when he couldn't stand steadily.

"Which battalion is at the head of the battalion? Who is Qianhu and who is the commander? Zhu Wu looked at these people.

"We are the Second Army, General Guo Ying's subordinates!"

"Little Four's soldiers? When did you join the army? Zhu Wu's face became even more gloomy, "The third, the fourth!" ”

Guo Xing's face was red, "Fifth brother, the fourth brother is gathering the troops!" ”

The soldier who committed the crime said intermittently. "Chief, we are in the army of Dingyuan."

Zhu Wu's heart exploded, "Since you are a veteran in the army, you should know Lao Tzu's military law, did Lao Tzu lose you?" Robbing the people, do you really give Lao Tzu a long face? What did Lao Tzu say before crossing the river? ”

"Boss, we were confused for a while and made a mistake, you spare us once, and the next time we fight, we will be the vanguard."

Zhu Wu's military law was strict, and several soldiers who committed the crime knew that they could not be spared, so they desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

At this time, the pro-soldier who had just been sent to check on the family came back, with a strange face, and he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong, say!" Zhu Wu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The soldier glanced at the kneeling robe on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "The woman of that family has been ruined, and the man has been hacked to death!" ”

Zhu Wu's mind buzzed, and he clenched his teeth.

"Good, good!" Don't even say three good words, "If you steal something, you don't count, you have to kill someone!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Wu shouted coldly, "Leave a few of them down, and the Ming canonical punishment will be punished!" ”

"Boss! Spare me, sir! ”

The offending soldier begged for mercy loudly, "Chief, I am confused for a while, spare my life!" ”

"I spare you, have you ever spared you, that people?"

"Boss, I'm injured!"

A soldier who had committed the crime cried and ripped off his clothes, his chest crisscrossed and covered in scars.

"Chief, I'll follow you in Dingyuan, this is to beat and the state was cut. The chief was surrounded by Totoh, and I followed the group out of the city with my wounds, copying the back road of Totokh. Chief, I'm meritorious! I'm wounded, can't I die? ”
