Chapter 838: Duobang City - Broken City
"No matter who makes it into the city, it's a good opportunity at this time!" Zhang Fu immediately shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the capture of Duobang City is here in one fell swoop!" Kill! ”
"Kill!" Countless Ming soldiers howled loudly, and fought with the Annamite people again.
At this time, the momentum of the Ming soldiers surpassed the Annan soldiers again, and forced the Annan people to retreat step by step, but the Annan people still defended desperately, although the defeat was not chaotic, the Ming army had the upper hand, but it was still difficult to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Zhang Fu couldn't help but look at other places where shouts of killing were being heard, hoping that the Ming army in other places would make a breakthrough and capture Duobang City.
But there has been no such signal for a long time. The voices coming from everywhere were still fierce shouts and killings, and there were both Chinese and Annamite dialects.
Zhang Fu looked at the soldiers of the two countries who were still fighting hard in front of him, and was about to turn his head and say something to Sang Jing, when suddenly, he saw an unbelievable scene.
……
……
"Damn, why is there a fire burning on the south side of the city?" Xu Jingchang fired a shot and knocked an Annan soldier to the ground, and was about to retract his head, when he suddenly saw a sky-high fire rising to the south of Duobang City.
"Our Ming army is in the north of the city at this time, even the Xiandeng army led by Chang Jizong and the Annan people who defected to the Ming Dynasty are also in the northwest of the city, and there is no one in the south!" Xu Jingchang retracted his head, pulled out the arrow that had just been shot at the helmet, and said.
"My lord, most of the Annan troops who were originally stationed in the south of the city saw that the city of Duobang was about to be lost, so they decided to do it anyway. Maybe this person still has something to do with Ruan Xun, and he expects Ruan Xun to give him a few kind words when the time comes. Baihu Sun Bingwen said.
"Don't use Ruan Xun, I'll give him a few kind words!" Xu Jingchang said excitedly.
He couldn't help but get excited. Because at this time, although he also led his troops into the city of Duobang, he was also struggling. If there is no external force to break the situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture the city of Duobang.
After cutting down a few thigh-thick trees from the woods and dragging them to the city gate, Xu Jingchang ordered the branches and leaves to be pruned, divided the trees into several sections, pulled out the armor from the dead generals and let dozens of soldiers put them on, and each lifted a section of wood and crashed towards the city gate. With a sound of "Duang", the city gate that had been broken was knocked open.
In an instant, countless arrows shot out from the open door of the cave and shot at the Ming army carrying the wood.
The Ming army, who was carrying the wood, was prepared, and immediately threw the wood in his hand to the ground, and he himself lay down and leaned against the wood. When they threw the wood to the ground, they deliberately tilted it at an angle, so that most of the arrows fired from the front were blocked by the wood; Even those who crossed the wood were wearing armor and helmets, and most of them were unharmed, with only a few suffering minor injuries.
When this round of arrow rain passed, Xu Jingchang led the rest of the soldiers to rush to the door, raising his hand to see a volley of guns, and screaming on the other side.
Xu Jingchang immediately put the musket in his hand on his back, pulled out the Pu knife from his waist and rushed forward.
At this time, the Annanites on the opposite side were blinded by this volley of guns. Because it was too easy for the Ming army to conquer Polei Pass and other places before, Zhang Wen and Lan Zhen, Mu Sheng and others did not let the musketeers of the Shangzhiwei appear, because although these Annan soldiers knew that there was a very luxurious "steel helmet army" in the Ming army, and they also knew that they were the elite of the elite of the Ming army, each of them had a musket and used it as the main weapon, but they still did not know the power of the platoon gun, until this time. They were like the Manchu Eight Banners that fought against the Anglo-French forces in the Second Opium War.
Of course, Xu Jingchang didn't know why the Annan people on the other side were stunned, but this did not prevent him from slashing and killing the enemy at this time. He rushed in front of them, brandished the Pu knife in his hand and cut off the head of one person, and then turned sideways to cut off half of the other's head, and the red and white brains splashed everywhere, like a cup of juice that had been touched. Other soldiers also rushed over and slashed the Annamite. Soon the Annam people who were guarding near the door hole were completely annihilated. Especially Li Sanzhou, wielding a big knife and frantically slashing the Annan people, several Annan soldiers who had already surrendered on their knees were also hacked to death by him. Xu Jingchang wanted to leave a few living mouths, but he didn't have time to speak, so he had to admit it.
He leaned on the line of wood, stones, and corpses built by the Annamites, wiped the blood from his knife, took the musket on his back, loaded it with projectiles and gunpowder, stabbed it with a stab, pulled out the arrows from his helmet, and rushed out of the city again.
But as soon as he showed his head, he was hit by an arrow in his helmet, and he hurriedly retracted his head, only to hear the "thunderclap" sound, and countless arrows were shot at the stone in front of him. At this time, under the order of Chen Yuan, the Annan soldiers who rushed from the city to support had come down, and they saw that the defenders at the city gate had been completely annihilated, and the Ming army was going to continue to fight into the city, so they immediately opened their bows and arrows to stop the Ming army.
Xu Jingchang organized soldiers to break through the enemy's blockade several times, but they were all beaten back, and he suffered a lot of losses. These Annan soldiers on the opposite side are all elite, and they occupy the commanding heights, as long as they show their heads, they will shoot many arrows, and they will not be able to rush out at all. Xu Jingchang found that although he had already attacked the city, he still could not enter an inch, and the situation was even worse than when he was outside the city gate. At least at that time, he still occupied the initiative, and at this time they were blocked here, and they couldn't advance, and it was not so easy to retreat.
Xu Jingchang tried to recruit the other party, and said something like "follow the imperial army, the benefits will be great" in Chinese, and he was afraid that they would not understand and let the people who could speak Annan say it in Annan, but there was no other sound on the other side except for the insults. Another person shouted: "You even kill those who kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, even if we surrender, we will definitely be killed by them all in the end, it is better to fight with you, even if you lose the battle in the end, it is enough to kill one, and kill two to earn." Xu Jingchang could only smile bitterly.
However, he still did not give up hope of winning. Seeing an opportunity, he led the soldiers to venture out and shoot a burst of guns, killing several Annan soldiers, but due to the limited terrain, the power of the platoon gun was greatly reduced. He put the gun down, and was about to retract his head when he saw a fire burning to the south.
He was stunned for a moment, blurted out the sentence just now, and an arrow shot at his head, and he was startled and hid behind the rock.
He had all the soldiers shout in unison in the improvised Annam language: "There is a fire in the south of the city!" The city of Dobangs has been breached! ”
When the Annan army, who was fighting with him on the other side, heard this, he subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, saw the sky-high fire, and was immediately stunned.
Sun Bingwen secretly popped his head out, looked at the Annan soldiers in front, saw that they were all looking behind them in a daze, and shouted: "Kill!" The Ming soldiers immediately stood up from behind the blockade, raised their muskets in a volley of guns, and then rushed over.
The front of the Annanites on the opposite side immediately collapsed. A fire broke out in the south of the city of Dobang, and the city of Dobang had been breached, and it was pointless for them to continue to hold on, so they ran to the east at this time.
At the same time, the shouts of Annamite on the head of the city could no longer be heard, but instead there were all kinds of sounds that could make people feel panic when they heard it, and the city of Duobang was broken!
