Chapter 371: Drink This Cup Together

300,000 Ming troops defended the city, 120,000 people's troops attacked the city, the gap between the two sides is so big, but it is the side with less troops to attack the city of the side with more troops, which is really rare in the history of warfare before the Ming Dynasty, but with the rise of the people's army, this situation is more and more.

The People's Army is getting closer and closer to the city, Zhu Yijun wears gold armor and personally climbs the city wall, wanting to see what the victorious People's Army looks like, the officials tried their best to dissuade Zhu Yijun without success, but as the emperor climbed the city wall and was known by the soldiers, the morale was improved to a certain extent.

The People's Army came, with overwhelming momentum, Zhu Yijun looked from afar, as if he was shocked, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The scout on horseback at the front saw the situation in the city clearly through the telescope, and quickly returned to report to Wang Shengrong.

"Wearing gold armor, it won't be Zhu Yijun, right?"

Wang Shengrong was a little puzzled, not quite sure, in Wang Shengrong's feeling, the emperor should be afraid of death, how could he personally climb the city wall and hide in the palace, isn't it better?

No matter who the person wearing the gold armor is, it should be a person with a more important identity, Wang Shengrong ordered that after the artillery position was built, the first target was the person wearing the gold armor.

An artillery position of the People's Army has been constructed and is about to be fired, and Zhu Yijun, who is wearing gold armor, is no longer on the city wall, and only left the city wall under the persuasion of the defending generals and other ministers.

"Fire!"

Hundreds of howitzers spewed grenades at the tall city wall nearly a thousand meters away, and it was the first time that the Ming troops stationed on the city wall came into contact with this kind of explosive shell.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

In the sound of explosions, hundreds of soldiers fell in pools of blood.

The sudden explosion made Zhu Yijun, who had not gone far, so frightened that he almost fell.

"It's... Is this a thief attacking? How could the thieves throw the earth-shattering thunder on the city wall from so far away? ”

Zhu Yijun has seen all kinds of firearms, and he has also seen the Ming soldiers demonstrate the earth-shaking thunder, Zhu Yijun has not seen dozens of hundreds of earth-shaking thunder exploding together, but as long as you imagine it, you can guess the power of such an earth-shaking thunder explosion, how could the People's Army throw the earth-shaking thunder on the city wall so far away, which made Zhu Yijun absolutely unbelievable.

A grenade accidentally flew over the city wall and fell into the city, so frightened that the ministers immediately asked a guard to carry Zhu Yijun away from the city wall, Zhu Yijun was carried away by the guards with blank eyes, got into a carriage and returned to the palace, drove everyone away, sat on the dragon chair, and imagined in his mind the scene of hundreds of earth-shattering thunderbolts exploding on the city wall.

Zhu Yijun knew that the People's Army was equipped with several sharp firearms, and to a certain extent, the People's Army was able to win all battles because of these firearms, while the Ming Army's firearms were not as good as the People's Army, and they were defeated again and again.

Why did the People's Army take out these sharp firearms first, Daming imitated some sky-shaking thunders, and also created a small number of new-style muskets, and now the People's Army can throw the sky-shaking thunders over hundreds of zhang away.

"Heaven is going to kill me?"

Zhu Yijun only has this one thought left, the Ming Dynasty, which has a territory of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of millions, will be destroyed by the People's Army in just seven or eight years, which is incredible, it must be that God will destroy the Ming Dynasty.

The offensive of the People's Army continued, hundreds of artillery salvos, thousands of artillery salvos, and in the fierce explosions, there were not many Ming soldiers who dared to stay on the city walls.

In order to attack the city with a taller city wall, this batch of siege vehicles made some changes and increased the height, and they could climb the city wall through the siege vehicles, but it was difficult to attack the enemy on the city wall from the siege vehicles.

Advancing and advancing, tens of thousands of soldiers of the People's Army followed the siege vehicle to slowly advance towards the city, in front of which is the capital, which is the base camp of the Ming Court, as long as the capital is captured, the victory of this war belongs to the People's Army, and soon there will be no war on the land of China.

The siege engines were getting closer and closer to the city, the bombardment had stopped, and the Ming soldiers, who had little morale left, returned to the city walls to prepare for battle under the drive of the officers and commanders.

The KPA artillery stopped, and the KPA fighters in the siege vehicle took out rockets and fired them at the city wall from a distance of 100 meters.

Under the bombardment of rockets, the Ming army was blown back again.

When the distance was less than 50 meters from the city wall, the KPA grenades also began to exert their power, and the grenadiers tightened the catapult device and sent waves of grenades to the city wall, and the explosions on the city wall hardly stopped.

In the continuous sound of explosions, even the commander of the officers who was wholeheartedly loyal to the Ming court was full of discouragement at this moment, he couldn't fight, he couldn't beat at all, the enemy's firearms were so fierce, how could he fight the enemy, and he would almost die on the city wall.

Finally, the siege vehicle arrived at the city wall, and the first soldiers stepped on the city wall first, rushing towards the Ming soldiers who rushed over, followed by the first soldiers, and the grenadiers also rushed up the city wall, and the first soldiers and grenadiers were the combination of melee invincibility.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the city gate was blown open by a number of explosives packs, revealing the scene in the city, the original Ming army did not block the city gate hole, with one after another city gates were blown open, a part of the People's Army soldiers rushed directly into the city from the open city gate, and the Ming army fought together.

During the attack, there were constantly KPA soldiers shouting at the Ming soldiers in front of them: "Put down your arms, and those who kneel down will not be killed!" ”

In the persuasion to surrender, many Ming soldiers chose to lay down their arms and surrender on their knees, and their morale and courage to fight were blown away in the previous bombardment of the People's Army, and they no longer wanted to continue fighting.

The southern wall of the capital fell, and the KPA was attacking the city and the east and west walls, and with the fall of the south wall, it was only a matter of time before the capital was captured by the KPA.

"The emperor is leaving, the thieves are coming."

"Your Majesty, let's go to Liaodong, as long as the people are still there, sooner or later we will be able to defeat the thieves."

In the imperial palace, courtiers loyal to the Ming Dynasty made a last-ditch effort, but their emperor had given up.

Zhu Yijun came out, followed by two eunuchs, who trembled and held a tray with a pot of wine and a few wine glasses.

Zhu Yijun took matters into his own hands, poured a glass of wine, and held the wine glass, Zhu Yijun smiled and said to the ministers: "The Ming Dynasty is about to die, the Qing family, who wants to drink this cup with me?" ”

Before the minister came up to dissuade him, Zhu Yijun directly drank a cup of poisonous wine, knowing that he could not change it, and several ministers also walked towards the two eunuchs.

"The minister is willing to drink this cup together!"

"The minister is also willing!"

The old ministers squeezed out a smile on their faces, and drank a glass of poisonous wine with a smile.

Hearing the minister's words, Zhu Yijun smiled and used the last strength in his body to walk to the dragon chair, sat down on it, and watched his courtiers fall into the hall one by one.
