Chapter 25: Burning the City (First Update, Asking for Recommendations, Asking for Collections)
Chapter 25
Thunder on the ground!
In the midst of that turmoil, everyone was stunned by what they saw!
A huge cloud of gunpowder smoke had the momentum to engulf the entire heaven and earth, and the smoke cloud first swallowed the rear camp that was rushing towards the city wall, and then spread backwards, and finally swallowed the entire Zheng army camp.
Wan Li, who was choked by the dust and smoke and kept coughing violently, buttoned the hat on his head, at the moment of the explosion, even the helmet on his head seemed to be blown by something, he looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, no matter how shocked, he had only one thought in his heart - this Jiangyin City was broken!
"Well, this, this ......"
The stunned people were choked by the smoke and coughed constantly, and they muttered in dismay, they didn't know how the person surnamed Zhu dug the tunnel and used the "collapse method" to collapse the city wall, but they only had one thought in their hearts.
The big thing is just around the corner!
Originally, he had been shaken by the landslide-like explosion for a long time, and after returning to his senses, he was almost there and roared.
"Quick! Hurry up and take the forward battalion, we must take this Jiangyin City! ”
Wan Li's almost gave orders in a roaring voice. The roar could no longer see the calmness it had before. His eyes were full of surprise, he didn't expect that the fortified city of Jiangyin would break through so quickly.
didn't expect that Zhu Mingzhong really won Jiangyin in two days!
Now, for him, there is no longer Zhu Mingzhong's head in his eyes!
There was only one thought left in his heart - to take Jiangyin!
The merit of breaking the city has steadily fallen on the surnamed Zhu, but this merit of seizing the city, he must not be robbed!
When the thousands of Zheng officers and soldiers of the front battalion were pouring towards the gap in Jiangyin City that was blown up by the smoke and dust, the battle on the city wall had already come to an end, and more than 1,500 officers and soldiers did not kill towards the city, Zhu Mingzhong, who knew his own strength, had no intention of taking the city at all, he wanted to break the city! Instead, they went directly along the blown down city wall towards the walls on both sides, the top of the city wall was not wide, and even if the defenders had nearly 10,000 people, they could not spread it on the wall that was no more than a zhang wide.
Compared with those reluctant Xiangyong who had just been forcibly recruited to defend the city, after the soldiers of the Houjian Battalion were killed, the resistance of Xiangyong immediately collapsed. After the shouts sounded, these village warriors who were unwilling to work for the Manchu Qing Dynasty would hesitate there, and they all dropped their swords and guns one after another.
"It's down, it's down!"
"The turtle grandson only gave the dog a hard time......"
"Lao Tzu is a Han man, and he is also a Han man if he shaves his head......"
In the sound of knives and guns falling to the ground, it was more of the self-defense of the villagers, even in the smoke and dust, those covered in blood, who had been desperately tearing people before, could also see many of them looking at them, staring at the hair on their heads, the sad look on their faces.
Cao Anbang, who was lying on the bed with the newly married concubine, was awakened by the thunderous explosion, and in the screams of the concubine, Cao Anbang rushed to the courtyard, and before he could ask what was going on, the choking smoke and dust shrouded the courtyard in it.
Then the news of the broken city came over, and the news of the broken city made Cao Anbang's face turn white in an instant, and his mind almost immediately thought of the persuasion letter that Zheng Sen ordered someone to shoot into the city a few days ago - if he resisted stubbornly, when he broke the city one day, he would definitely be cut by a thousand cuts!
Tens of thousands!
Regarding Zheng Sen's threat, Cao Anbang did not doubt it at all, that Zheng Sen was born in Haikou, and his ruthlessness was far greater than that of ordinary people.
What to do? What to do?
Just when Cao Anbang was worried about his fate, a bloodied general ran over.
"My lord, it's over, it's over, they've descended, and those eggless southern barbarians have all descended......"
It's down!
The southern barbarians defending the city have surrendered!
It's really over!
Now Cao Anbang suddenly regretted it, why didn't he take the initiative to open the city gate at the beginning, at that time, he could not only save his life, but also keep his glory and wealth.
"The Southern Barbarians have lowered ......"
Suddenly, a ruthless color burst out in Cao Anbang's eyes.
"Fucking Southern Barbarians, they want Lao Tzu's life, and Lao Tzu will let the whole Jiangyin bury Lao Tzu...... King Gouzi, set fire! Burn, burn the damn, burn all these southern barbarians, all of them......"
At the beginning, in order to force those southern barbarians to defend the city, Cao Anbang ordered people to pile up dozens of dry firewood piles in the city, and also prepared hundreds of barrels of oil.
"My lord, let it go, set it on fire, let's, what should we do?"
Before the bloodied general finished speaking, Cao Anbang kicked him to the ground.
"What to do? You fucking think that this southern barbarian will let you go, don't forget, you are the same as Lao Tzu, from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, let the southern barbarian catch it, a thousand knives and horses are light...... Burn! Burn it all, burn all the Jiangyin City! ”
Fire!
In the dark night, the rockets fired from the garrison mansion were like meteors in the air, and as the fire dragons fell to the ground, then a ball of flames first ignited from the city, and the fires that burned everywhere made the villagers on the city wall who had just put down their swords and guns dumbfounded.
"That dog's Cao Anbang set fire to the city!"
I don't know who shouted, and then the villagers in the whole city suddenly cried.
"My mother is in the city......"
"Daughter-in-law ......"
"Vigorously ......"
When people were crying the names of their relatives, as the oil drums burned, the fire became more intense, and some of the villagers who were close to the ladder down the city rushed desperately towards the city, trying to save their families, and at this time, the whole city was full of crying.
Zhu Mingzhong, who was holding a knife in his hand, looked at these villagers who had already laid down their weapons, and looked at them with sad faces. Looking at their grief as they looked towards the city, their families were in the city.
"My lord, Kaigen, let's go back to put out the fire, my lord......"
Wang Yuan knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and most of the others did the same, their families were in the city, and this would be in the sea of fire.
"Please be merciful, let me wait to save my family first......"
In the face of everyone's prayers, everyone felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little strange.
"My lord, now, what now?"
Holding the knife in front of him, Wang Dahu looked at the adult and asked a little nervously.
"What to do?"
Zhu Mingzhong glared at him and shouted loudly.
"What am I waiting for the army for, isn't it just to protect the people? Now that the people are in flames, what do you say? Let's fight the fire with Lao Tzu! ”
His voice was loud, as if he was afraid that no one would hear him, and he knew very well what would happen if he didn't let these people put out the fire—when that time came, these people would take the hatred of their family's death on themselves!
Now there's only one way!
Fire!
