Chapter 456: Victory in the First Battle

In the face of such a fierce shelling, the Qing troops in Jining City were frightened and frightened.

"Lord Wang, the artillery of the Ming army is too powerful, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and Jining Achievement can't stand it!" A staff officer said to Kong Youde, who was guarding Jiningcheng, in great fright.

Listening to the dense cannon sound in the direction of the city wall and the constantly shaking earth, Kong Youde's face turned pale and his lips trembled.

"The Ming army is so powerful!" Kong Youde had disbelief in his tone, in recent years, because of the relationship between the Ying Long Army, the Ming army has been powerful all over the world, but in the end it is not as terrifying as it is now, although he has an army of 100,000 guarding Jining City, but in the face of such a strong Ming army, there is no chance of winning at all.

"Newspaper"

"Lord Wang, the city wall has collapsed, the Ming army has entered the city, Lord Wang, run away!"

"What, the walls are collapsing so quickly!" Kong Youde stood up in shock, as if in a dream, and couldn't believe it at all.

In less than half a day, the walls of Jining City collapsed.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the new 90 mm caliber cannon is all new gunpowder filled shells, which is extremely powerful, and because the new cannon has an extremely fast rate of fire, reaching several breaths per shot, the power of 100 90 mm caliber cannons exceeds 300 old-style Shenwu field cannons, and the power of Shenwu field cannons is three times that of the siege weapon of the year, that is to say, 100 90-mm caliber cannons plus 200 old-style Shenwu field cannons are equivalent to the power of 1,500 red-coated cannons of that year. With such a powerful artillery bombardment, the fact that the Jining city wall can hold out for half a day is already a miracle among miracles.

"Kill"

Ying Longjun was the first, and countless Ming troops stepped through the collapsed city wall and entered Jining City.

The 100,000 Qing troops in the city had long been frightened, and although some resistance was temporarily stopped, almost all of them were crushed.

Under the protection of hundreds of personal soldiers, Kong Youde continued to flee towards Jining.

Who's to say that the army has less than 300,000 can be careless.

Kong Youde can't figure it out, how a few years ago the Ming army was still synonymous with weakness and bullying, how in just a few years, the Ming army became more and more powerful, the Ming army during the battle of Xuzhou was already eye-opening, but now the Ming army is several times more powerful, it is even more terrifying than the tiger wolf, Kong Youde really can't figure it out, how Hong Chengchou has the confidence to hold Shandong for at least two months.

Kong Youde gritted his teeth, he couldn't control the rout in the city, anyway, everything was up to Hong Chengchou, he had to escape from Jiningcheng as soon as possible under the protection of his own soldiers, otherwise once he was captured, the end would be very miserable.

The Ming army advanced very quickly and was overwhelmed.

Kong Youde escaped from the north gate, and the figure of the Ming army appeared.

"Bang bang bang" Many of his own soldiers fell under the guns of the Ming army.

"Quick, let's go!" Kong Youde was shocked, and some soldiers found a war horse, and Kong Youde quickly climbed on the war horse and wanted to escape.

"Where is the traitor!" Someone behind him shouted, it was a general of the Yinglong Army who took the lead, and it was Han Hu, the general of the Second Army.

Han Hu knew Kong Youde, and in the portrait of a traitor issued by the emperor, Kong Youde was among them, so Han Hu recognized Kong Youde's identity at a glance.

Kong Youde was inexplicably frightened, kept kicking the horse's belly, turned the horse's head and fled.

The possibility of two legs wanting to run over four legs is naturally no, seeing that Kong Youde is about to ride a horse to escape, Han Hu is anxious, if such a big traitor escapes in front of his eyes, then he looks down on himself.

Estimating the distance between himself and Kong Youde, Han Hu suddenly stopped, raised his gun and aimed at Kong Youde, who was about to run away on horseback.

"Bang" bullets fly.

However, at a distance of 300 meters, although the range of the new guns was adequate, the accuracy was not high.

Han Hu scolded secretly, and without saying a word, he quickly took out the bullet and loaded it.

At this time, at this time, Kong Youde had already galloped out of a distance of twenty meters, and the range was twenty meters away.

Han Hu was so anxious that a little sweat broke out on his forehead, he calmed down, aimed at Kong Youde who was fleeing, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet still didn't hit Kong Youde, but it hit the war horse he was sitting on.

I saw the war horse neigh, and after throwing Kong Youde into the air, he fell to the ground.

"Kill!"

Han Hu rushed forward violently, and the soldiers of the Yinglong Army behind him entered the flock of sheep and killed among Kong Youde's personal soldiers, these personal soldiers did not have much morale, Kong Youde was thrown to the ground again and did not get up for a while, I don't know who shouted that the prince was dead, and hundreds of personal soldiers were frightened, and they ran away and collapsed instantly.

"Haha, I've caught a big fish!" Han Hu rushed to Kong Youde on the ground, and regardless of whether Kong Youde was dead or alive, he reached out and grabbed Kong Youde's neck and pulled Kong Youde up from the ground.

Of course, Kong Youde was not killed by the fall, but his body was also like falling apart, full of severe pain, and now he was suddenly choked by Han Hu's neck, and he couldn't get up in one breath, and his face was full of purple blue.

Kong Youde opened his eyes, understood his current situation, and couldn't help but be full of humiliation and despair.

Thinking that he is Kong Youde, he has been with the Manchurians for seventeen years, and he has been named the king of Gongshun, although this prince is greatly discounted in front of the Manchus, but in the end he is a king, indescribable majesty, and has enjoyed it for more than ten years, and he can't imagine that he will be captured today and be so choked by someone, but at this moment, what he cares about is not the question of humiliation or humiliation, but whether his life can be saved.

The Ming army soon occupied Jiningcheng, Zhu Ci was welcomed into the city, and Kong Youde was escorted to Zhu Ci Cheng.

Zhu Ci only glanced at it, then waved his hand, and said coldly: "The traitor should be damned, kill!" ”

"Yes!" Immediately a knife and axe came up and took Kong You away.

Kong Youde was shocked, his eyes full of fear.

"The emperor spares his life. Kong Youde is willing to descend to the Ming Dynasty, and is willing to be the emperor's pawn and serve the work of dogs and horses! Kong Youde shouted, hoping that Zhu Ci would spare his life.

Although Kong Youde was loyal to the Manchurians, it was a desperate situation, and only the Manchurians could give him glory, and now that he was captured, his life was in danger, and naturally the first thing he thought about was how to live.

"It's late!" Zhu Ci sneered, if Kong Youde would open the city and surrender immediately when the soldiers were in the city, he would still have considered it, at least he would not kill him, but now that the city of Jining was broken, he only thought of surrendering after being captured by the Ying Long army, it was too late!

"Take it away!" Zhu Ci no longer listened to Kong Youde's roar, and motioned for the knife and axe hand to escort the person away.

Kong Youde was full of gall, he didn't want to die, so he yelled loudly, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked soon.

As soon as the knife and axe hand slashed down, Kong Youde's head rolled to the ground, and the gushing blood stained the mud red.

"Hooray, hooray!"

"Traitors deserve to die! Traitors should be damned! ”

The soldiers of the Ming army who saw this scene all shouted, and their voices resounded for ten miles, and the momentum was shocking.

The Northern Expedition won the first battle, and it took less than a day to capture Jiningcheng, Yanzhou is also ready to go down, in addition, the other three armies have also captured more than 20 cities, more than 100,000 Qing troops were defeated like a mountain, and Hong Chengchou's first line of defense collapsed.
