Looking out from the city wall of Jingshi, the land outside the city was crowded with people, and the Hongtang army from Tianjin Wei in the east was converging in this direction.

To tell the truth, when the Ming Dynasty took the Jingshi, the destruction of the outer city of the Jingshi made the Ming Dynasty's operation of the Jingshi almost ruined for hundreds of years.

After that, the Ming Dynasty cabinet and the royal family did not think about returning to their hometown, so the assistance to the Beijing division was not as strong as imagined.

On today's Jingshi city wall, many female walls and arrow towers have not yet been repaired, and most of them will be blown into scum with a single shot; And the most powerful of the Hongtang army is the firearms in their hands, which is simply the best in the world, which makes the soldiers defending the city feel very empty.

Fortunately, Hongtang was still happy before, except for the last time the Ming army of the Beijing division took the initiative to attack and showed a sharp edge, although there were many artillery attacks on weekdays, but in fact, the siege was not strong, and the pressure on the Ming army defending the city was also very low.

However, with the end of the Tianjin Wei War, the main force of the Hongtang army turned to the Beijing division and surrounded the Beijing division, even if there was no high-level generals' narration, the Ming soldiers who defended the city also felt the breath of the mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings.

"Starting tomorrow, everyone will stop hiding and increase the offensive of the Beijing Division!"

Wu Jie looked at the weather that was getting colder, and began to arrange tasks under the Jingshi City.

"Yes!"

Shang Kexi and other strong generals of the Hongtang army below responded one after another, and walked out with excitement on their faces.

Even Wu Jie himself didn't dare to imagine that one day they would be able to show off their strength and guns against the Ming army under the Jingshi City.

And soon, their Hongtang army will set foot in Beijing and control this thousand-year-old capital in their own hands, and in the future, they Hongmen will have a great possibility to become the master of this land where the descendants of Yan and Huang of China live for generations.

If he was not moved at this time in the face of the Daming Jingshi who had wanted to see the whole picture at this time, then Wu Jie himself would feel that he was very fake, but when he really stood outside the Daming Jingshi, a city with a history of thousands of years, his excitement came and went faster.

"Actually, this Jingshi is nothing more than that, except that the wall in front of us is higher and wider, there is actually nothing surprising about it!"

Wu Jie looked at the Jingshi City surrounded by them, and after a short period of excitement, he began to feel a little excited.

In fact, if there is no wall that is more than four zhang high, the tightly fitting city wall blocks the sight of the Hongtang soldiers, if you really want to talk about the area of the city, the area of Keelung County, which has developed from scratch for more than 30 years, is not smaller than today's Jingshi, and even exceeds.

Of course, Wu Jie himself has not been back to Keelung County for several years, and for Keelung County, which has changed almost a year, Wu Jie himself can hardly imagine what Keelung County will look like.

At least, it should look more promising than the current old and corrupt Jingshi, anyway, this is Wu Jie's own thoughts, and it is also his confidence in the Hongmen that they have single-handedly established.

"It's just a pity that the palace in the city is gone, I don't know what the scene in the city will be like after we capture the Jingshi!"

The director of the military staff department on the side, Jin Shijie, who followed Wu Jie as his staff officer, also groaned with emotion.

"yes, who's to say it isn't!"

Wu Jie also regretted it, but he would not waver in the slightest.

Before Shang Kexi hesitated to use artillery to attack the city, Wu Jie, who was led by the main force to reinforce the battlefield of the Beijing Division, mentioned that he was scolded and let him go away.

Compared with the destruction that the thousand-year-old capital is about to face, Wu Jie feels more sorry for the lives of this group of flesh-and-blood wars, although his status is getting higher and higher, and he will not be soft-hearted in the face of Biao's sacrifice, but this does not mean that he will let Hong Tangjian'er sacrifice senselessly.

It is true that the thousand-year-old monuments of the Jingshi are very precious, and it would be a pity if they were destroyed under the fires of war, but if countless Hongtang soldiers sacrificed their lives in vain because of this, then Wu Jie could not accept it either.

Therefore, even in the face of the thousand-year-old capital of Jingshi City, Wu Jie was not prepared to keep his hands, but planned to continue to talk about the implementation of their Hongtang siege tactics to the end, and use sharp and powerful artillery to open the gate of this ancient capital.

The reason why the focus was on Tianjin Wei at the beginning was to open up the naval stronghold, so that the most powerful naval fleet of the Hongtang army could support it at any time, and at the same time, it was also to make the bulky but more powerful artillery on the naval fleet to fill the shortcomings of the field artillery of the Hongtang Marine Army.

This time, what broke through the defense gate of the Tianjin Acropolis was the bombardment of the main artillery of the Hongtang Navy Fleet from the sea, and now with Wu Jie and his westward march into Beijing, dozens of powerful artillery pieces were unloaded from the main warships of the Naval Fleet.

The distance of more than 100 miles between the Beijing Division and Tianjin Wei was no longer a difficult thing for the heavy artillery transportation that originally dragged down the marching journey, and the flat terrain along the way made it easy for Wu Jie and them to transport these heavy artillery.

The Hongtang soldiers under the city, taking advantage of the cover of the sky, seized the time to start building the fort, and the professional artillery gunners were not idle at night, found a higher ground outside the city, combined with the intelligence map collected by the Hongmen guards, and began to plan the area they needed to avoid and focus on the attack from tomorrow.

The busy defense scene of the Hongtang army outside the city fell into the eyes of Du Yinxi and Cao Bianjiao who climbed into the city of Beijing and observed the enemy's situation without the slightest disguise.

Although the night was getting darker, under the dim vision, the forts that were gradually repaired and strengthened on the Hongtang army's position still put great pressure on the Ming army of the Beijing division such as Du Yinxi.

I have long heard the rumors of the sharp artillery fire of the Hongtang army, and now after really facing the Hongtang army, you will understand that the sharpness of the artillery fire of the Hongtang army is far more powerful than the rumors.

However, what they didn't expect was that what they would face next would be an artillery attack that was several times more intensive and powerful than the previous half a month.

At that time, they will truly understand how terrifying the artillery fire of the Hongtang army will be, and they will definitely have a clear understanding of the future of firearms.

"It seems that starting tomorrow, this battle will not be so easy to fight!"

It's not that he fell into his own prestige, Cao Bianjiao took a deep breath and said with emotion.
