Chapter 191: Breaking the Peace
Zhu Youlang listened to the sound of artillery fire in Anju, and he raised his head to look at the bright moon above his head.
"Your Majesty, it's the third watch in the middle of the night at this time." Ding Siliang said softly.
"Hmm." Zhu Youlang nodded lightly: "Let Chen Youlong and Lin Shiwang go together, and the artillery will fire artillery into the city, anyway, the people in the city have been driven out." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Half an hour later, Lin Shiwang had already retreated, and the artillery began a new round of artillery bombardment, gathering fire to shell the city wall.
When hundreds of companies fired cannons on three sides, the flames of Anju City broke out, the sound of violent explosions rang out again and again, and Wu Sangui's soldiers screamed again and again.
But Wu Sangui, who had no way out, had to support the soldiers while increasing the investment of the warlord, and for a while Wu Sangui's soldiers insisted on sticking to the city.
Because of the looting and the large amount of grain, grass and gunpowder brought from Hanzhong for a long time, Wu Sangui was not worried about the situation of having no rice, and living in peace near the water, Wu Sangui firmly believed that as long as he held on, the court would take action.
After several rounds of the Hongyi cannon fired, Lin Shiwang and Chen Youlong also received Zhu Youlang's order, and they prepared for half an hour.
After a burst of drums, he led the troops to rush towards Anju, Chen Youlong's soldiers were still pushing the cart and carrying the ladder, while Lin Shiwang pushed the small iron cannon on the side, Lin Shiwang thought about opening the city gate by firing a cannon at the city gate.
A few moments later, Chen Youlong and Lin Shiwangju led the troops to rush to the city, Chen Youlong formed a firearms battalion to shoot at the city according to the sentry formation, and then gave way to the battalion holding a nest of peaks under the city and casting them on the city.
For a while, Wu Sanguibing didn't dare to shoot arrows, so he had to shoot blindly behind his back, and at this time, Chen Youlongbing had just quickly climbed the ladder.
When Wu Sangui's generals saw this, they immediately ordered the warlords to drive the soldiers to stand up and throw stones, logs, etc.
The ladder was pushed down and raised again, and then hundreds of soldiers under the city who pushed the chariot rushed towards the city gate.
And Lin Shiwangbing had just come to the city, he formed a flag formation according to the firearms battalion, and shot according to the team's turns, and then the soldiers pushed a small iron cannon into the city and fired the cannon at zero distance.
But the cannons rang out, the cannons also flew sideways, the soldiers were blown apart, and the walls were burned because of it.
When the two sides fought until the fourth watch, Wu Sangui's soldiers in the city were already very tired, and their fighting spirit had been lowered to the end.
In fact, Wu Sangui couldn't imagine that Zhu Youlang could pull out so many Hongyi cannons, and in this siege, Zhu Youlang transferred all the Hongyi cannons that could be mobilized, and there were always thousands of them.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard has sent a message that the morale of the soldiers in the city has been very low, and they ask for advice on whether they want to persuade them to surrender."
Zhu Youlang looked at Ding Siliang who was standing beside him, and he smiled and said: "What do you persuade, Wu Sangui, a person who has betrayed his ancestors and has no father, is not worthy of surviving in the world."
Saying that, Zhu Youlang beckoned to the soldiers on the side, and the soldiers immediately rushed over, and without waiting for the soldiers to speak, Zhu Youlang opened his voice and said: "Order, the time has come, the whole army will attack the city, order the old defenders in the city to cooperate, and I want to see Wu Sangui's head before dawn."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing the soldiers leaving quickly, Zhu Youlang turned his head to look at Ding Siliang: "Go, let the people in the city cooperate, and Wu Sangui's soldiers will not be taken prisoner in this battle." ”
Seeing Zhu Youlang once again emphasize that he would not leave prisoners, Ding Siliang understood that this was not negotiable, thinking of this, Ding Siliang knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and then quickly left to contact Jinyiwei.
When the sky turned white on the fifth watch, the three guards on the boat would rush towards Anju in a boat, and they rushed to the waterside of Anju in an orderly manner.
Then he quickly rushed towards Anju City, and at this time, Lin Shiwang and Chen Youlong began a steady stream of siege battles, looking at the artillery fire in front of them, and the miserable sound resounded through the world, Jiao Lian and Yu Long Wang Xing led the soldiers to Anju City with bamboo cards in their mouths.
At this time, the Jinyi Guards in the city also began to move, originally at this time Wu Sangui's soldiers were demoralized, and it was a good time to persuade them to surrender, but Zhu Youlang repeatedly forced them not to keep prisoners, and the Jinyi Guards did not dare to persuade them to surrender.
At this time, the defenders of the city who were used as coolies by Wu Sangui intentionally or unintentionally, groups of three or five went to the north with a city earthen wall on their backs, because Wu Sangui was worried that there would be changes, so they were not allowed to fight miserably.
This also gave the defenders a hint of the possibility of activity, and they had already consciously mixed with the Cheng Sangui soldiers.
Just after the soldiers in this city saw the colorful fireworks in the sky, they immediately drew their knives to kill Wu Sangui's soldiers, and for a while, Wu Sangui's soldiers were cute.
The defenders didn't say anything, they just buried their heads and rushed to the city gate.
After arriving at the city gate, they beat the city gate to the sky, because Wu Sangui publicized that the Qing court would send personnel from the waterway, so this wall was not sealed, because Wu Sangui put Li Guohan here, just to leave a little hope for the soldiers, so that the morale of the soldiers would not be too low.
Wu Sangui knew that Jinyiwei had already prepared spies in the city, and he didn't expect Zhu Youlang to be so enduring, and he didn't do it until the morale of Cheng Sangui's soldiers was low.
The soldiers of the three guards, who had already moved to the city, immediately rushed to the city gate as soon as they saw the city gate wide open.
Li Guohan, who had already rushed in with his troops, was suddenly dizzy when he saw this, but he still calmed down and shouted loudly: "Quick, go and block it." ”
It's just that when Li Guohan's soldiers arrived at the city gate, Jiao Lian had already ordered a sentry soldier to form a formation a hundred steps away from the city, and they formed a formation according to the flag, three teams and one team half lying on the ground, one team half kneeling behind, and then one team standing, and three teams fired a volley at the city gate.
For a while, Wu Sangui's troops, who rushed to prepare to close the city gate, were shot and fell to the ground.
A few moments later, Jiao Lian took the lead in leading the Chinese army to rush into the city, and as soon as he entered the city, Jiao Lian led the troops to carry the flag to the city tower, and at this time, the Anju defenders had already undressed and formed a group under the supervision of the Jinyi guard.
Li Guohan saw that the Ming soldiers were rushing in continuously, and he understood that it was over, but at this time he had no way back, so he waved his saber and rushed towards the Ming soldiers with his own soldiers.
But at this moment, the soldiers beside Li Guohan cut Li Guohan with a knife, and then shouted to the Ming soldiers: "I surrender, I surrender." ”
But they were greeted only by the bullets of the Ming soldiers, and after a burst of gunfire, Wu Sangui's soldiers at the city gate were cleared.
The Ming soldiers began to disperse towards Anju City in an orderly manner, and at this time, Wu Sangui, who was fighting with Lin Shiwang and Chen Youlong, had already received a report.
"King, the Ming soldiers have broken through the city, let's surrender."
Hearing this, Wu Sangui's whole person was struck by lightning, and a few moments later, Wu Sangui sat on the ground as if he was dehydrated, his eyes looked blankly at the Ming soldiers outside the city, but at this time he thought of his son Wu Yingxiong in Beijing, thinking of this, Wu Sangui barely calmed down.
"Fight to the end." The generals around Wu Sangui shouted loudly.
But Wu Sangui's generals responded to Wu Sangui alone, Wu Sangui's face turned pale when he saw this, and he thought that these people had followed him all the way from Shanhaiguan to the present.
