Chapter 540: War Trampling
"Those who descend will not die!"
The golden Yang Dudu stepped on our Qing Dynasty scholar Chen, raised his head and roared.
His voice echoed across the walls......
The Tianxiong Army, who were in a state of confusion in the grenade explosion, looked at him in amazement, and a few of them subconsciously wanted to throw away their weapons.
"Don't listen to him, the army has already entered the city!"
A voice rang out.
Yang Xin looked at Tang Guozuo unexpectedly, the latter had just picked up a short gun and was aiming at him not far away, just the moment he looked over, the muzzle of the gun spewed flames, and the bullet was hitting his shoulder, but he didn't even shake it, and the weight of more than three hundred catties after being fully armed made the power of this weapon completely inadequate.
Yang Xin raised his foot and stepped down, and the power of the war trampling made Chen Mingxia, who was still struggling, instantly unconscious.
Then he walked towards Tang Guozuo with a sinister smile.
Obviously, Lingbi Hou is a smart person, if Yang Dudu is alive, then these nobles who open the door to welcome and surrender will be finished, and they don't have to think about it to know that this is Yang Xinbu's bureau, and the purpose is to involve the noble group. The purpose is the property and land of the Xungui regiment, and at this time he must be allowed to die, if he does not die, I am afraid that all the rest of the Chang family will be finished, anyway, the army behind is pouring in.
If he has the ability, he will face an army of 50,000.
Tang Guozuo turned his head and ran.
It wasn't for him to worry about how Yang Xin faced the 50,000 army, but now he had to face Yang Xin, who was originally close to the city gate, and suddenly ran into the back doorway.
At the same time, the Tianxiong army outside was still pouring in, Tang Guozuo immediately squeezed in, and the Tianxiong army behind them didn't know what was inside, it happened too hastily, and they instinctively fired at Yang Xin in the doorway. I have to say that the quality of these soldiers is very high, in the final analysis, it is also three years of training, and they are all high salaries and preferential treatment, and they still have a certain loyalty to Chen Mingxia, who is lying behind Yang Xin, and they instinctively try to rescue.
And those inside also had the courage to start fighting back at this time, and some even opened fire on Yang Xin again, after all, they also knew that they had 50,000 troops outside, and they had actually entered Nanjing.
They seem to be on the safe side.
But the soldiers above them won't give them a chance.
The grenadiers continued to drop their grenades, and soon some rushed to the second wall, also throwing grenades at the Tianxiong army behind.
This spectacular defense system is composed of the main city wall, which is the city tower where it is more than 50 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, and a rectangular urn city of more than 70 meters behind. The high part of the former is a row of caves that can accommodate a large number of soldiers, and the upper part of the city is connected by the upper half of the horse road, but the city is divided into three grids by two city walls.
The walls are interconnected.
It's like a giant memo.
These grenadiers climbed up from the ladders inside the city, condescendingly throwing grenades into the urn city, and there was almost no counterattack below, and in the blink of an eye, they were blown into chaos.
At the same time, the soldiers assembled in the city also began to go up along the horse paths on both sides, and there were very few Tianxiong troops on the city wall, they only symbolically attacked and opened the city gates. In fact, they didn't need to open it at all, Tang Guozuo had already led his men to open the door, and there were only a few soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who climbed the city wall, and they were quickly cleaned up in the face of these strong soldiers who suddenly came out.
Of course, those guards would not participate in the battle, they dispersed directly, and even had the courage to join, but Xu Hongji and the others were dumbfounded.
I was really dumbfounded.
Where did these soldiers come from?
They really don't understand how there could suddenly be such a group of brave soldiers in the city they have controlled for two hundred years?
Did they drill out of the ground?
What's more, the Xungui regiment has just surrendered, and it has opened the city gate for Chen Mingxia, if the Tianxiong army is driven out, their crime of surrendering thieves and even leading thieves into the city can be confirmed, on the contrary, if Zhang Mingzhen really occupies Nanjing, they can keep their family business.
Help whom?
I must have helped the Tianxiong Army.
As long as the Tianxiong army, or the Datong army behind it, wins and forces the emperor to execute Yang Xin, then everything for them can be saved.
If you don't help the Tianxiong Army, these people will drive the Tianxiong Army out, then all that is left is to copy their house, this multiple-choice question is very simple.
Then, under Xu Hongji's order, those house slaves of each family fought side by side with the Tianxiong army and attacked the urn city, trying to stop the grenadiers from continuing to drop bombs on the urn city, and even many people climbed the tower to shoot down. But these grenadiers were extremely brave, and those who threw grenades directly took off the muskets with spears on their shoulders, and then charged at the house slaves and the Tianxiong army.
On the narrow walls they were unstoppable.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.
On a passage only a few meters wide and flanked by cliffs more than a dozen meters high, whoever is not afraid of death is the victor, these soldiers with muskets shouted bravely.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the top of the city.
But on the other side, the Tianxiong army is also climbing along the ladder, and some even try to turn the muzzle to shoot inward, but the tragedy is that most of the artillery for defending the city is fixed, although some can be moved, but the problem is that there is a tower fifty meters cross......
I have to say that it's not good to be big.
Before they could push the cannon over, the attacking bayonet men on the road had already arrived.
The scuffle on the platform begins.
However, it can't be said that there is a scuffle, after all, the number of Tianxiong Army and Xungui slaves is limited, but tens of thousands of soldiers are pouring out of the city, and they are not only here, but also on several other nearby roads to the city, all of them are surging soldiers entering the city. Even at several other gates, including several other sides, such soldiers continued to ascend the city, pouring out of the houses and courtyards of the city, gathering in the streets, and rushing to their positions according to their arrangement.
These are the workers of the Yang family.
All of the Yang family's tenants and workers were militarized and trained, and the vast majority of the people around Nanjing were victims of the disaster in Xuzhou.
They are mainly in the iron ore mines in Ma'anshan and Nanjing's iron smelting factory, tin plating factory, canning factory, canning factory along the river, etc., there are more than 5,000 iron mines in Ma'anshan alone, this time because the Datong army called, these Yang family industries must be unlucky, so all were concentrated in the city to resettle, they were responsible for the Yang family's diet, and even some of them borrowed the Qianbu Corridor to resettle.
The nobles in the city never thought that these people who were regarded as refugees were actually still troops, and they were also armies that did not lose their combat effectiveness at all.
In fact, there are a total of 15,000 Yang family members in Nanjing at the moment, and they are not at all conspicuous in a city of 2 million people, not to mention that many of them themselves are factories in Nanjing.
As for weapons......
The Yang family itself has an arsenal in Nanjing!
Even some of the arms of the Loyal Warriors were made in Nanjing, so what was the point of keeping a few thousand muskets in their own warehouses?
These are genuine Yang family members.
The level of training is indeed inferior to regimental training, after all, they are accurate in the nature of the militia, but to say that the will to fight beats all the troops, even the loyal and brave troops can't catch up with them, this is Yang Xin's real trump card, Tianjin Tunken District, Fengyang Tunken District, and the factory belt along the river, he can pull out more than 60,000 soldiers in these three places alone.
It's just a matter of not using it.
These people are worth much more than they are used on the battlefield.
Now it's a last resort.
But this army was also invincible when used on the battlefield, and almost in the blink of an eye they turned the tide of Jubaomen, and the Tianxiong army who climbed the city wall was powerless in their devastating counterattack, and some even surrendered altogether, and soon they had already controlled the cannons and began to fire at the Datong army that was still in confusion outside.
Especially on the long trunk bridge.
A few cannons bombarded with a concentrated burst of shotguns almost instantly piled up dead bodies on the Changgan Bridge.
At this time, the people in the city were still enduring the bombardment of grenades.
They still can't fight back.
These days, the male army is all turtledove, in fact, no one uses bird guns now, and bird guns cannot be used at all to the new plate armor commonly used, even in Europe at this time began to completely transition to heavy arquebuses. In the past, Europe was also a mixture of light and heavy, and the light one was called the arquebus gun, which was actually a bird gun, and the heavy one was an arquebus, which was actually a stand arquebus such as the turtledove gun.
It's hard for this thing to shoot at heights.
It must be on the front bracket, that is, a fork in front of it, otherwise the soldier will not be able to shoot with a dozen pounds of muskets in his hands.
But it's not easy to hit high places like this.
You must know that the accurate range of this thing is only forty or fifty meters, and it depends on character to exceed this distance, which means that in battle, and the city wall itself has to be more than ten meters high, if you want to shoot such a target below, I am afraid you have to sit on the ground. But the grenadiers above could easily throw grenades into every corner, and after a burst of explosions, the closed urn city was full of gunpowder smoke that could not be dispersed, as if they were in the thick fog of the morning, and some of the Tianxiong troops were even choked to breath.
As for Yang Dudu......
Well, he's already at the main gates.
As for Tang Guozuo......
Yang Dudu also forgot whether he was hacked to death.
At that time, they were all killed in a mess, and they couldn't see clearly in the smoke of gunpowder, they just saw people around and hacked to death, this urn city was full of enemies and there was no need to distinguish between the enemy and me, whether Lingbi Hou was also hacked to death, and now Yang Xin is not very clear.
Including Xu Hongji and others.
At this time, they also rushed to the chaotic battlefield with life and death unknown.
"Put the jack gate!"
Yang Xin roared.
He was originally golden, but at this time he was completely bloody, but there was no blood from him.
Overhead, a team of Yang family members who had just occupied this place immediately rushed into the city tower, and then put down the jack gate, and the two-ton gate instantly cut off the city gate hole, and the Tianxiong army outside couldn't enter at all......
"Those who surrender will not die, suspend bombing!"
Yang Xin turned around and shouted.
