25 And when the city was broken, there was a great noise

The sound of killing was everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty people stopped preparing for more than a week, and the siege plan displayed was so unacceptable that Kong Youde and other officers of the Third Army, who were ready to wait and solemnly face the enemy's siege, were all disappointed.

Of course, in addition to being disappointed, Kong Youde, Pu Liqi and others are naturally more cautious in their hearts, Zhang Huangyan's old opponent is capable, and the stalemate between the two sides in the past few years is already the best proof.

If Zhang Huangyan did not preside over the battle on the Eastern Front, unless Sun Chuanting, a famous commander of the Ming Dynasty, came, the officers and soldiers of the Third Army of the Hong Dynasty would have really reached the north bank of the Yangtze River at this time, and threatened Ying Tianfu of the Ming Dynasty, which was one step away from the south bank.

"Don't be careless, behind such an abnormal layout of the other party, there must be a bigger plan, and the soldiers of each brigade will be distracted and deal with it."

Kong Youde had a calm face and solemnly admonished the officers around him.

"Yes, Commander!"

The fierce scene of almost the entire army of the Ming Dynasty as soon as it came up inevitably brought heavy pressure to the officers and men of the Third Army in the city.

Fortunately, there was no artillery bombardment of the city walls and gates, and with the Ming Dynasty army, as well as those rudimentary siege equipment, it was a little taken for granted that they wanted to threaten the safety of Jining City.

The soldiers of the Hong Dynasty stationed on the walls of the Third Army condescendingly used muskets, artillery, and even grenades and other objects to rush to the city and become a live target for the Ming Dynasty soldiers, wantonly killing.

From time to time, there were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, relying on the numerical advantage, to climb the city wall, and soon under the orderly counterattack of the soldiers of the Third Army, they were bombarded off the city wall.

In just over an hour, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty army surrounded and attacked Jining City from all sides, and they lost more than 10,000 people in this way, and the damage they inflicted on the officers and soldiers of the Third Army was less than 1,000.

"It's time!"

The army of the Ming Dynasty was not an army that was good at fighting tough battles, and it was a rare sight in the army to be able to fight to the death in this high-intensity, high-damage siege battle for more than an hour.

However, looking at the hesitation and procrastination of the reserve army, Zhang Huangyan knew that if such a situation did not stop, even if he gave more severe orders and thought about military law again, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the soldiers from fearing war.

And the general soldiers of the three roads are afraid that they have a lot of complaints in their hearts at this time, although their previous statement reluctantly let them obey the order to carry out the siege plan, but until now they have not come up with the next plan, in addition to the large number of soldiers under their command sent to the city wall to die, there is no sign of breaking through the city at all, and they can not control what temporary changes they made in the end.

"Send a signal!"

"Whoa!"

Staff member Cai Chongxin was also impatient to wait, and when he heard Zhang Huangyan's order, he immediately walked out of the Chinese army camp and began to sound the horn of the Dongcheng siege troops.

However, several other Ming Dynasty troops, although they heard the instructions given by the commander of Dongcheng, not only did they not withdraw from the battle together with their colleagues who attacked Dongcheng, but the soldiers who captured more were sent to the siege team and rushed towards Jining City without their lives.

"It's coming!"

Kong Youde always paid attention to the movements of the Ming Dynasty's siege army, especially the attack and defense of the eastern front where the Ming Dynasty's Chinese army camp was located, which was the focus of his attention.

At this time, Kong Youde, who was standing on top of the Dongcheng Wangcheng overlooking the eastern front, roared at the Ming army below when the siege battle that began to stop after the sound of the sound of gold sounded.

Kong Youde was not afraid of such a brainless siege plan of the Ming Dynasty, because he knew that it was whimsical to use this kind of unpopular tactics to break through their Jining City. But when the other party's plan begins to change, it means that their apparent plan to confuse the enemy in the Ming Dynasty will enter the next stage, and the change will begin.

As for what means are hidden behind the enemy, Kong Youde, Pu Liqi and other army generals, as well as their army's staff and aircraft will not be able to detect and see through it for a while, so Kong Youde will move the command of the Chinese army to Dongcheng Wanglou, after all, this is the closest place to the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and they can also react in time if there is any change Kong Youde.

The Ming armies on the eastern front were slowly retreating, and it was not until they were out of range of the musketeers of the defenders of the Hong Dynasty city walls that they stopped their retreat.

"What the hell are they up to?"

Not only was Kong Youde puzzled, but Bai Guangen, the commander of the Fourth Brigade stationed in Dongcheng with him, could not guess the subsequent response of this Ming Dynasty army.

"What's going on?"

"Commander, be careful!!"

Suddenly, there was a violent shaking of the eastern city wall and the watchtower, and the rubble above the watchtower fell one after another, smashing on the ground and turning into fragments.

The dull roar came from the depths of the ground, endlessly, and the blue brick boulders that looked extremely solid in the east city, as well as the cement concrete city wall, cracks visible to the naked eye, starting from the root of the city wall, slowly creeping up, the entire east city foundation began with the southeast corner of the line, and turned into a trembling old man in the public, no one knew when it would collapse.

"Protect the Commander!"

"Send the commander down to the city!!"

Bai Guangen showed a rare brave side at this time, pulling Kong Youde to dodge several pieces of rubble falling from the sky, dragging him and running under Wangcheng.

But before they could run down the tower, the crumbling city wall in the southeast corner, after the last muffled sound underground, finally collapsed, smashing on the ground and directly rising more than ten feet of smoke and dust.

And the figures of Kong Youde and Bai Guangen also disappeared in front of the eyes of many soldiers of the Hong Dynasty with this puff of smoke and dust.

"Oops!!"

As the deputy commander of the Third Army, Pu Liqi was sitting on the west city with the most fierce fighting at this time, and it was also the largest number of troops in the Ming Dynasty.

Without waiting for the dust to clear, looking at the void that vaguely revealed a hazy light under the shroud of smoke and dust, Puliqi's face turned pale for a while, knowing that it was still successfully designed by the Ming Dynasty army after all.

"From your brigade, make up a regiment, Lao Tzu will support the Eastern Front, and the breakthrough of the Ming Dynasty soldiers is in Dongcheng!"

The only thing Puliqi can do now is to recruit thousands of soldiers from the defenders of the West City to rush to the Eastern Front, but I don't know if they will be able to reach the gap opened by the explosion in the East City and intercept the enemy outside the city.
