The Ming army was defeated? ”

Lu Xu, who was waiting with his colleagues in Lechang County, Shaozhou City, learned the news that the main force of the Ming army, Li Chengliang's army, was defeated by the First Group Army of the People's Army, and his face was full of surprise.

As a member of the People's Army, although he joined later, Lu Yu slowly learned about the strength of the People's Army, and felt that the People's Army would be able to overthrow the Ming Court and rule the land of China sooner or later.

But before the outbreak of this war, Lu Yu was still a little uneasy in his heart, the Ming army had too many troops, a million troops, while the People's Army only dispatched hundreds of thousands, and the difference in strength was as much as three times.

Lu Yu thought that the People's Army would eat the Ming Army in one bite, consume the strength of the Ming Army, and completely defeat the Ming Army in more than a month, but he did not expect that the main force of the Ming Army would be defeated by the People's Army so quickly.

Whether the People's Army is too strong, or the Ming Army is too weak, and it is not a member of the army system, Lu Xuan doesn't know, but as long as the war is won, it is something to be happy about.

In addition, Lu Yu also knows that the main battlefield People's Army and the Ming Army have already divided the winners and losers, and soon the People's Army of other battlefields will also divide the winners and losers, and it is expected that Lu Yu will soon leave for the place where he is about to serve.

The news that the First Group Army of the People's Army led by Wang Shengrong defeated the 500,000-strong army of Li Chengliang of the Ming Dynasty is rapidly spreading to all directions, and it will soon have an impact on the Ming troops on other battlefields.

On the morning of the fifth day of the second lunar month, the Ming army in the capital city of Ganzhou did not surrender to the people's army, and Wang Shengrong ordered the whole army to launch an attack on the capital city of Ganzhou.

Nearly 100,000 people's troops surrounded the Ganzhou Fucheng, with nearly 25,000 people in three divisions on each side, there was no distinction between the main attack and the auxiliary attack, the main attack was on all sides, the artillery positions had been erected, and the tall siege vehicles had also been erected, and the top height of the siege vehicles was even a little higher than the city wall of the Ganzhou Fucheng.

"Fire!"

Thousands of Franc cannons continued to spit solid shells into the capital city of Ganzhou, and these shells either smashed on the walls or smashed into the city over the city walls, and only a small number of shells fell on the city walls, bringing a small number of casualties to the Ming army.

Under the bombardment of the People's Army, although the number of casualties of the Ming army was small, but now the Ming army can only be beaten and cannot counterattack.

The Ming soldiers curled up and shivered as much as possible and hid in the corner, fearing that they would be hit by cannonballs, and the middle and upper officer commanders did not even dare to climb the city wall.

Li Rusong, who was on the back of the city wall, felt the bombardment of the People's Army, his face remained unchanged, but he kept sighing in his heart, he felt that the People's Army was going to capture the capital city of Ganzhou at all costs, and maybe today would be the day of his death.

The bombardment of the People's Army has not ended, the soldiers slowly pushed the siege vehicle to approach the city of Ganzhou, and the Ming army on the city wall could see the tall siege vehicle of the People's Army from a distance, this siege vehicle was a great danger to the city, but the Ming army had no way to counterattack.

Originally, there were some artillery pieces on the city wall of Ganzhou Prefecture, Li Chengliang's army had taken most of the artillery away when it set out, leaving only the light artillery with a relatively close range, Li Chengliang's army was defeated, the artillery was thrown on the battlefield, and more importantly, the people's army kept bombarding, and no one dared to operate the artillery.

The siege vehicle was less than 700 meters away from the city wall, and when it came within the range of the tiger head gun, the musketeers quickly boarded the siege vehicle to the bottom of the siege vehicle, held muskets, and fired at the city wall.

Originally, where the shells could not be blown up, the muskets were able to attack, and rows of lead bullets attacked the city wall, and suddenly the Ming army on the city wall suffered a large number of casualties.

There were people on the siege vehicle, and the speed of the advance was even slower, but it was only a few hundred meters away, and the KPA had enough time to push the siege vehicle over, and behind the siege vehicle were other musketeers, first soldiers, grenadiers, and ordinary soldiers who had not boarded the siege vehicle, and there was a dense and large area.

As the distance between the siege vehicle and the city wall narrowed, the shooting accuracy of the musketeers on the siege vehicle became higher and higher, and the Ming soldiers could only hide behind the battlement wall to avoid lead bullets, and did not dare to show their heads at all.

How can the Ming army resist if this continues? Li Rusong could no longer stay calm.

"We have to find a way to destroy those wooden shelves (siege engines)."

But Li Rusong and the generals of the Ming army couldn't think of a way to destroy the siege vehicles, and if they didn't destroy the siege vehicles of the People's Army, I was afraid that the city wall would not be able to hold it, and if the city was broken, they would all die.

There are already generals who regret it, regretting that they should surrender directly to the People's Army, and it is possible to save their lives.

The generals in Li Chengliang's army were either loyal to Li Chengliang or were bought by Li Chengliang, and the generals loyal to the Ming court were all transferred by Li Chengliang to the other three deputy marshals.

The generals who could be bought by Li Chengliang were naturally not so firm in their hearts, and they didn't want to live and die with the capital of Ganzhou.

"This city is going to be undefended, and we will all die if the city is broken, what should we do?"

"Why don't we arrest Li Chengliang and Li Rusong and coerce others to surrender to the People's Army?"

"Yes, move faster, slower, and the city will be broken by the People's Army."

"Okay, you go and arrest the already stupid Li Chengliang, and we will mobilize people to arrest Li Rusong."

Several Ming army generals who did not want to live and die with the capital city of Ganzhou secretly took action after a brief discussion, Li Rusong and other Ming army generals paid attention to the people's army outside the city, and they did not find their own small movements at all.

The siege vehicles of the People's Army outside the city were less than 200 meters away from the city wall, and several Ming army generals in the city were ready.

"Up! Hurry up! ”

Hundreds of elite soldiers surrounded Li Rusong, several Ming army generals, and more than a dozen personal guards.

"What are you doing, trying to rebel?" Li Rusong looked at the situation in front of him and said angrily.

"(Acting) Li Shuai, we don't want to die, and ask Li Shuai to be arrested."

"Heh, how can my Li family boy be arrested?" Li Rusong roared angrily and drew his sword and rushed towards the rebellious generals, and the guards also brandished their swords to keep up with Li Rusong's footsteps.

"Forget it, the same goes for the dead, kill me!"

Hundreds of elite soldiers were wielding Yanling knives or holding spears, besieging Li Rusong and others, and there were soldiers loyal to the Li family not far away, but they had not rushed over, and Li Rusong, who was surrounded by regiments, had been besieged to death.

Li Rusong is the commander of the first army, no matter how strong his personal force is, he can't go beyond the limits of ordinary people, how can he be the opponent of hundreds of elite soldiers.

"General!"

Li Rusong's guards angrily slashed at the enemy, but their numbers were too small and they were soon surrounded and killed.
