Thank! On the selection of new books, nothing else, 7,000 words are sent.

The ninth day of the sixth month of the third year of the Apocalypse. Clear.

Nguyen Phuc Yen listened carefully to the sound of artillery from a distance.

From the morning, the soldiers at the head of Hue city were surprised to find that there were almost twice as many gun emplacements under the city, and the artillery fire began as soon as the sun appeared.

The twenty-four pounds of solid bullets fired by the five steel cannons served as the main force for the destruction of the city. Blazing cannonballs rushed into the city walls in a very brutal manner, rushing towards the towers, or destroying the fortifications on the walls, or driving out the officers in the towers, so that they had to meet the arrival of the shrapnel of the twelve-pounder guns on the city.

The shrapnel fired by the twelve-pounder gun, under the operation of those gunners who had been instructed and had mastered the method of shooting in a close position, became an excellent weapon for killing and injuring the people at the head of the city, and people did not dare to show their faces at the head of the city, or even expose their bodies near the gaps that might be discovered under the city. I can only try my best to get close to the ground, dragging a bag of dirt with my body, to fill the gap, sometimes, often a bag has not been dropped, a cannonball comes over, and people become the material to fill the gap.

After the first round of artillery fire, the shells slowly became sparse, and a dozen twelve-pounder bronze cannons were arranged around it as a benchmark to suppress and monitor the city's head in pieces.

The people under the city began to slowly move towards the moat.

Their march route happened to be facing the area of the city wall that was suppressed and blocked by artillery fire.

The soldiers of the Phoenix Guards Battalion added up several six-pounder guns on the edge of the moat, erected red and green signal flags to communicate with the artillery team, and began to prepare for surveillance firing at the head of the city.

The soldiers of the Iron Shoulders carried the captives as they marched eastward, and drove them to the moat one by one the straw bags full of dirt, and threw them into the water, which was not so deep, and gradually the straw bags in the riverbed overflowed the river, overflowed the center of the riverbed, and overflowed to the other side of the moat.

"My lord! How about this? "Looking at the passages that are gradually forming in the middle of the river, several teams are anxious, if this continues, the only barrier, the moat, will not become a barrier.

Before Lord Guan Qi could react, under the city, a loud and piercing trumpet sounded, and with a shout, the Zixin army with yellow flags began to rush towards the city wall with a cloud ladder.

is also a native of Annam, as a former soldier of the Ruan family of the New Army, in the eyes of the defenders of the city, he looks like a wolf and a tiger. Their crazy eyes and hideous expressions made the defenders at the head of the city shudder.

Looking at the impact formation that was getting closer and closer, Lord Guan Qi woke up like a dream, "Quick!" Prepare the wood! Sheeps' Head Stone! And, artillery! While shouting for the troops to enter the position, he dragged the henchman team leader, "You go to the west gate, show the situation here to the third prince, and tell him that we need his artillery support, he has a lot of artillery there, even if we transfer a few first, we are much better!" ”

Looking down from the top of the city, the banners and ranks of the New Army seemed to be boundless, from the moat to the foot of the city wall, and the wide south front of the city, the three gates were attacked almost simultaneously.

The Ruan army on the city hurriedly pushed the sassal wood, sheep's head stone, batting rod, wolf tooth beat, righteous night and many other defensive equipment to the edge of the battlement, waiting for the arrival of the new army.

As the New Army approached, the artillery at the head of the city also began to return fire, the smoke of gunpowder rose at the head of the city, the shells flew in the crowd below the city, and everywhere they went, the screams were endless. Although most of the artillery on the head of the city was about six pounds, it was better to occupy the advantage of the terrain, and there was no need to aim, just fire at the densely populated places below the city.

A pound or so of shells rolled through the crowd, knocking people's heads and limbs apart, and blood, brains and other unknown liquids splashed in the crowd.

The New Army under the city, under the cover of artillery fire, also worked hard to erect a long ladder made of bamboo and put it down in the direction of the city wall. The people in the city swung their batting rods and knocked down the long ladder that tried to get close to the walls.

For a time, the shouts, the sound of shelling, the wailing and groaning of the wounded, and the shouts and curses of the fighting converged with each other.

"You are also from Annam! Why be a lackey for Akito! In Nguyen Phuc Hae's writings, his martyrs righteously accused those traitors to the motherland.

"Fuck your shit! Lao Tzu is an upright and upright army! You traitors! Acquaintances, surrender quickly! lest you lose your own life! ”

The city and the city continued to curse and shoot, and gradually, the first wave of the offensive of the new army, after leaving behind 100 dead bodies and more than 200 wounded, failed.

As soon as the retreating crowd had just crossed the moat, the cannons behind began to speak again.

Although the head of Hue City was built of bricks and stones, it gradually declined under the blows of 24-pound and 12-pound cannons. No way. In addition to the five 24-pounder cannons, there were more than 20 12-pounder cannons and dozens of 8-pounder cannons, adding up to nearly 100 cannons to bombard the southern city wall. Moreover, the artillery was divided according to the size of the caliber very regularly. Twenty-four pounder guns attacked the middle of the wall, twelve-pounder guns bombarded the battlements below the battlements, and eight-pounder cannons were used to deal with one qiē life on the city's head.

In the smoke of artillery fire, the team that went to Nguyen Phuc Yu for help came back with a rolling belt.

"Where's the artillery?!" Having suffered enough from the artillery fire under the city, Lord Guan Qi was extremely hopeful that there would be artillery reinforcements.

"My lord! The third prince said that now outside the West Gate, the Ming army has hundreds of cannons lined up there, and they dare not send artillery to us, for fear that the Ming army will take the opportunity to attack the city. He sent us two teams of men to hold on!"

"Fart! Until now, not a single cannon has been fired on the Xicheng side, what else is he talking about?! Lao Tzu has far more people killed here than the two teams! Master Guan Qi waved the sword in his hand, with a murderous aura on his face, as if the team leader in front of him was Ruan Fuyu himself.

"Quick! Bring the men and horses you brought to the fort, give the yellow fort to them to guard, and the rest of the men retreat to the tower! ”

"My lord," the team leader looked very embarrassed, "On the way, the people said, running all the way, the body is not supported, and you must rest for an hour or so." Therefore, they were to rest under the city first. I'll talk about it in an hour. ”

"I'm going to karma your mother's pineapple and banana!" No matter how good Master Guan Qi is, he can't help but lose his temper, from Xicheng to here, but for a few miles, those guys, when they visit Yuqing Building on weekdays, they all boast about how brave they are, but now they want to rest under the city?!

"Do you mean?!" Suddenly, Guan Qi remembered that terrible thought, "The third prince really wants it?!" He didn't dare to think about it, as a guard, he knew that there was no family affection and righteousness in the open and secret battles between several Ruan Fuyuan's sons.

"In order to raise his own price, he deliberately made us fight to the death, and he risked our lives to bargain with General Ming?"

Suddenly, the artillery fire under the city became extremely fierce.

Groups of solid bullets, shrapnel shells, were pushed out of the chamber by gunpowder, bombarding the city walls and sweeping away the lives on the city's head. Under the heavy artillery fire, almost no one dared to stand at the head of the city with their waists straight. Even so, many people were either killed or wounded by the shrapnel fired by the eight-pounder gun, screaming at the top of the city, or by the rubble and bricks that the twelve-pounder cannon blasted at the mouth of the city wall. Several forts at the head of the city fought back under the fierce shouts and scolding of Guan Qi and the team leader, but after all, the number of artillery was small, and the medicinal power was not as strong as the artillery of the Nanzhong army. The most important thing is that it is not like Li Shouhan, who takes almost no money for gunpowder and conducts artillery firing training on a large scale. The effect of the artillery counterattack can be imagined.

The sparse shells did not have the effect of being able to do anything in the crowd, and the people who charged were more and more demoralized in the face of the artillery fire. "Brothers, come on! The general has an order! Our army breaks through the city first, and then we can rest in the city for a few days!! Fill it! ”

Long stairs leaned against the city, and the besiegers began to climb the city.

The cannons under the city also began to bombard the city, not caring for the people on the long ladder, and some people were constantly hit by stones thrown on the city or the night of righteousness, screaming and falling down at the foot of the city wall, and even more unlucky, the whole long ladder was hit by the ram under the city, and a series of people, together with the long ladder, came into close contact with the ground. Left behind a pile of flesh and blood that could not be separated from each other.

The city is like this, and the city is no better. Under the dense rain of eight-pounder guns, the Nguyen soldiers had just dropped the sheepshead stone on the heads of the soldiers of the New Army, and immediately after, one or several shotguns pierced his body, and his body was twisted by the huge impact and flew out.

"Go! Pull those two teams up for me! If you don't come up, bring me the head of the team!" Lord Guan Qi looked at the siege team that was still crazy under the city, and his heart felt a chill, he knew what these people meant by resting for a few days.

He didn't do these things without him, slaughtering other people's villages and towns, disbanding the military discipline for a few days, and letting the soldiers go to loot on a large scale, and he could also take the opportunity to make a fortune. However, now that it is my turn, it is naturally absolutely impossible.

His own new concubine, and the concubine's timid, tender and tender sister. How can you moan tactfully under someone else's crotch?!

Hold! Must be held!

Faintly, there were cannon sounds and shouts from the east and north, hovering over the city, as if the bloody gas had crossed the entire city, and the city seemed to be immersed in this pool of blood, and the air was filled with bursts of fishy sweetness.

Only to the west of the city, there is still a deathly silence.

"Li Shouhan, you're going to put me to death!"

Nguyen Phuc Ao hid behind the battlements of the city wall, looking down through the arrows, and on the other side of the moat, hundreds of artillery pieces were impressively listed. One by one, the shy gunners, holding arquebuses and brushes, lined up in their respective battle positions.

Behind the gun emplacements lined up in a line, there were dozens of military flags. Behind the military flag, there is a neat phalanx, and the logo on the flag can be seen, "Guards Left Battalion, Guards Right Battalion, Guards Middle Battalion, Guards Phoenix Left Battalion, Guards Qilin Right Battalion." ”

Behind him, his henchman Guan Qi Li Duan came up, "Your Highness, the sons and daughters have counted, there are nearly four hundred large and small cannons. ”

Nancheng is just a unit of the new army, and it is still boiling against the sky, one Buddha Nirvana, two Buddhas were born, and here in Ximen, it is one of the best elites in the Nanzhong army, but it has been lined up in the morning until now, not a single shot has been fired, and not a single shot has been fired.

"Also, the palace has sent someone again. The messenger asks you to come and receive the message. ”

From the beginning of the attack of the Nanzhong Army, the envoys in the palace were like flowing water. From urging him to defend the fortress to ordering him to send troops to support the South Gate, which was raging in battle, there were a variety of reasons. However, every time the envoy came to announce the decree, he saw that there was no war between the two sides here in Xicheng, and there were no casualties on each other, and the envoy's face changed.

I wonder what the will of this messenger came to read.

knew that Li Shouhan was doing this, why did he need him to promise to inherit his father's official position in the first place? It's good now, I haven't eaten the mutton, and I'm angry!

After giving the messenger who came to deliver the decree a piece of red gold, the envoy smiled and arched his hand to Ruan Fuyu, "Your Royal Highness, our army has won the first battle today, and the king intends to reward the soldiers of all armies, so he specially sent a minister to invite His Highness to enter the city with me, and there is a family banquet in the palace." Before the feast, the king will discuss with your highnesses and generals about rewarding the soldiers of each army. I would like to ask Your Highness to go with the minister. ”

Looking at the envoy's face with a spring breeze, Ruan Fuyu suddenly felt a chill in his back.

The messenger was still there with a lotus tongue, and suddenly felt a pain in his back, and when he looked down, he saw that a sharp knife was dripping blood in his chest. On the robe, the blood stains are constantly expanding.

Li Duan raised his right foot, kicked the messenger over, took out his sword, and rubbed it on his robe, "Your Highness, the lord wants you to go to the palace, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, mark the courage, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Looking at the messenger who was still twitching on the ground, he looked down at the dense artillery emplacements, twelve-pounder guns, eight-pounder guns, six-pounder guns, and more than a dozen rockets. He couldn't help gritting his teeth, "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" I silently read my father's name in my heart.

"Are you willing to follow me to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light and submit to the command of General Li of the Ming Dynasty?" His blood-red eyes widened as he glanced at the officers under him one by one.

As he spoke, Li Duan waved his hand, and a group of soldiers swarmed over and surrounded the officer corps present. The sword and spear in his hand pointed directly at the chest and head of the officers.

"Are you willing to go with me to General Li?" Ruan Phuc asked again.

"You! Back to His Highness's words! Li Duan pointed at the officer with the sword in his hand.

"I, I, I...... Yes! The officer made a slight gesture, and as soon as his chin was raised, a spear in his hand pierced the officer's breastplate, and the three soldiers worked together to pick up his body, and lifted it over the heads of the people, and threw it on the road of the city wall, and the body rolled down the road.

"Will you follow me?" Ruan Fuyu asked a question for the third time, and this time, his voice was much softer, but in the ears of those officers who were undecided, it was like a Shura evil ghost curse,

There is a person whose brain is spinning fast, and he hurriedly didn't care about pickling, and knelt on the ground, "Subordinates and others are willing to follow His Highness and abandon the darkness to the light!" "Whoever has taken the lead, it will naturally be easy to do, and the rest who hesitate immediately hurriedly knelt down and said to the Third Highness that we have long wanted to go to the light.

"Order all battalions of men and horses, except for a team of men and horses at the head of the city, all of them will assemble in the city and go to the royal city to escort them! In addition, throw the flag of the city head down the city, and all the gun emplacements and muzzles rush inside. Each strange and strange thing, go to the royal city with His Royal Highness to escort. Li Duan, you open the two city gates and welcome the Great Tomorrow Army into the city! ”

When the two gates of Xiguan were slowly opened, Ye Qi and several of his battalion officers were at the intersection of Xiguan and Nanguan, with their own soldiers there to observe the scene of the New Army's siege of the city.

Seeing people fighting to the death under the city wall, from the top of the city, on the long ladder, people kept screaming and falling down. The battalion officers of each battalion couldn't help but gasp one by one, "No wonder the lord let these new troops take the lead!" ”

In fact, the purpose of letting the Forces nouvelles take the lead is not limited to this.

"Send people to the artillery department and order them, don't care about casualties and shells, just fire at the city, as long as there is no red flag of our army at the city, continue to fire!"

According to the original intention of the defenders, they planned to take the opportunity of this attack to practice the tactical essentials and cohesion of the unit's infantry and artillery coordination through the attack of the new army, but the battle was fought in such a stalemate.

"Sue Sù Ruan Bida, after the city is broken, except for the temples, schools, and residents who hang red flags or have red paper pasted on the door, they are free to choose and camp in the rest of the places!"

The two different commands were like adding another handful of dry wood to the already feverish air of the battlefield, and then pouring gasoline on the dry wood. The besiegers screamed and shouted and carried the long ladder again, holding their swords and guns and rushing towards the city wall, ignoring the fact that the ground under their feet was covered with corpses and wounded soldiers, and the cannonballs were whistling around them, and there were constantly shotguns passing by their ears, heads, and sides, and the comrades around them kept snorting, and were hit by the broken bricks and stones blown up by the shotguns or solid bullets, and fell to the ground. However, the desire to make a fortune after being able to enter the city still makes people desperate to move forward.

You can't go to the temple, that's the place of the gods and Buddhas, you can't go to the school, that's the place where you read. You can't go to the houses with red paper and red flags, they are the residents who have already surrendered, but the official residences at all levels, the yamen, and the huge royal city have accumulated countless wealth, gold and silver!

"Wan Sheng!"

"Mighty!"

A loud cheer came from Xiguan.

"Son of a bitch! Nguyen Phuc Thanh dedicated the city! A loud cheer came from Xiguan.

"Son of a bitch! Nguyen Phuc Thanh dedicated the city! "What Lord Guan Qi has been worrying about has finally happened, what should I do, what should I do? Is it to fight to the death in the city and serve the Ruan family, or is it the same as Ruan Fuyu, abandon the darkness and defect to the Ming Kingdom, General Li?

Just when Lord Guan Qi's heart was entangled for a while, and the two thoughts in his mind kept fighting, the people in the city heard a more moving voice.

"Brothers in the city, open the city gate, we are all a family, go and get rich together!" The new army under the city, one by one, lined up with happy smiles and shouted neatly in places where bows and arrows and muskets could not shoot. The sound was higher and higher, and this sound seemed to be a greater threat to the defenders of the city than the artillery just now.

"Brother under the city, if we open the city gates, will you kill us?" One of the defenders had the audacity to ask back.

"Brother in the city, if I don't have my eyes, is your surname Wu?" The commander of the New Army, Nguyen Pita answered him with a large bullhorn made of white copper.

"I am Ruan Bida, the commander of the new army under the command of General Li Da, the president of the rebel army in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and not long ago I confronted the general with Ruan Fuyu in Rili, and it is said that I am also guilty, but now you see, Lao Tzu is not only fine, but also promoted!"

"That's it! We are all surrendered to the Great General! If you are smart, hurry up and surrender, otherwise, after a while, the army will enter the city, and it will be too late to surrender again! ”

For a time, the new army gave full play to their network advantages, and launched an offensive and psychological war against the defenders of the city.

"Kaesong! Kaesong! Kaesong! In an instant, Lord Guan Qi heard the shouting of killing from near the west gate, and the thought of fighting for himself completely killed the idea of being a loyal minister.

Dozens of long ladders leaned up to the city again, and this time, the people at the head of the city no longer stretched out the sharpness of their weapons, but their enthusiastic hands, "I'll pull you!" ”

"Okay, brother, let's hurry up and go to the city, it's too late, the good things have been taken away by the guards under the command of Ye!"

The military flag of the Ruan family was torn down and thrown into the pile of dead people under the city, and the yellow flag of the New Army was planted in its original position. Seeing the yellow flag fluttering at the head of Hue City, Ye Qi and the battalion officers around him couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of their mouths, Hue, this city lying on the road of the South Central Army going south, this big nail, has finally become a part of the South China Army's war plane!

Looking at the crowd of mixed colors, a torrent was formed, surging towards the city, Ye Qi, who was sitting on the bench, let out a long breath, and a five-character poem came out of his mouth.

"Tired battles are not empty, and the scenery of mountains and rivers is different.

Whip off the stream, the first peak of Wu Mountain,

Mao Feng is not today's thing, and the oil and rain are waiting for the dragon.

In vain, the sword on the waist is annoying, and the head of the PTZ is the first to remember. ”

Just when Ye Qi was thinking about how his new work was peaceful, a guy who was smearing next to him appeared.

"Your Excellency." Huang Shi'an crossed his hand and saluted, "Can we enter the city?" ”

Ye Qi raised his head and looked left and right, to the west, the troops of the Guards Battalion had already taken control of Xicheng, and about a battalion of troops was rapidly advancing along the city wall towards the southern city, sweeping the stragglers who were trying to resist along the way.

The brigade is entering the city along the two gates of Xicheng, taking over all kinds of yamen and treasury, controlling the security of the residential areas in the city, and preventing bandits, hooligans, and rout soldiers from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

And there is some confusion on the south side of the new army. It turned out that the soldiers of the Ruan family were mixed together, and the respective officers with troops could not restrain them, but were swept by the flow of people and rushed towards the city. Soon, several fires broke out in the city.

"Send people to quickly control the outer city, and all the yamen, treasury, temples, ancestral halls, and the like in the city must be well preserved."

Soon, around the inner city, which is the so-called Ruan family royal city, there began to be one by one the flags of the Nanzhong Army.

Not only in the vicinity of the royal city, but also on the northeast, west and west sides of the Bell and Drum Tower, that is, almost the entire city of Hue, are fluttering the banner of the Southern Chinese Army.

Organized resistance in the city has stopped, but the killing continues......

In the middle of the air inside the south gate, the flames were shining, and the houses on both sides of the street were still burning. The streets were littered with rubble, dead bodies everywhere, and many people who were seriously injured and not dead were groaning. Blood flowed to the ground, congealed into ice. Others were leaning against the wall, which was also stained with blood. All kinds of clothes and belongings are scattered on the ground, and they look shocking. In the inner city from the south gate, especially in the streets where there were no red flags or red paper fluttering at the door, the sound of doors, scolding, cries, broken things, women's cries, men's groans of pain began to be heard.

Soon, the crowd that entered the city from the south gate came to the front of the inner city, and I don't know if it was because of panic or a moment of negligence, one of the gates of the inner city was not closed! A group of soldiers from the Zixin Army and the Yuan Nguyen family who rushed here looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw a sense of surprise, ecstasy, and fear.

"it! Behind us is the army of the Ming Kingdom, even if there is an ambush? Be bold! Brothers! Enter the palace! Go rich! ”

"Whew! Enter the palace! Got rich! ”

"! Lao Tzu wants to sleep with a mother! ”

"You deserve it?! That's all reserved for the general! Let's sleep with a palace maid or something, it's enough! ”

People yelled at each other. Encouraged. Like a flash flood, it rushed into the royal city.

Along the wide stone-paved road, the people rushed into the royal city.

On both sides of the road, there are trees such as pine and cypress, spruce, etc., at the end of the road, is a platform, commonly known as Danqi, polished bluestone paving, gilded incense burner, big ding, crane left and right. Danqi is surrounded by white marble railings on three sides, and the cloud dragon column head is exquisitely carved. In front of the platform are seven stone steps. The five buildings covered with yellow glazed tiles that obviously transgress the regulations, dozens of vermilion pillars that cannot be hugged by one person, three six vermilion lacquer gates side by side under the building, and there are corridors, bell towers and drum towers on both sides of the courtyard.

In the square in the middle of the courtyard, many people had gathered, all of whom were Ruan Fuyu's subordinates. Along the road to the yellow glazed tile building, there are many corpses lying horizontally and vertically, most of the male corpses are palace guards, and a few bearded eunuchs, who are stabbed on the ground bloody by all kinds of weapons; Most of the female corpses were in some remote corners, naked or naked, apparently humiliated to death during the destruction of the city.

"Quick! Where's the Seal?! A voice shouted from the crowd.

His so-called seal letters are the many seals issued by the Zheng family to Nguyen Phuc Yuan in the name of Emperor Lê to Nguyen Phuc Yuan, such as the two camps of the two places of moderation in Hue, the general internal and external peace chapters, the important affairs of the military state, and the prince of Fu Guogong, etc., which can be used to prove the legal status of the Nguyen family. Naturally, it is the biggest trophy that can be used to contribute to the South Central Army.

It was Ruan Fuyuan's confidant Ruan Youyi who was forced to ask.

"Betraying the father and rebelling against the son, how dare you ask me where the seal is?" Ruan Youyi, who is already full of blood, has a bit of the taste of a lonely minister who has died in the country.

However, the surrounding rebels didn't care about this, their eyes were staring at those golden and bright things, as well as those shivering beauties hiding in corners and hiding places.

Finally, someone in the crowd shouted, "Rob! ”

People's desires were ignited by this shout.

The looting and killing of the royal city began.
