Chapter 766 Nanjing Attack and Defense XII

The 1,000 Green Battalion soldiers of Watergate also discovered the situation on the other side, and the city became agitated.

What is Ming Jun going to do? Why do you still hit the water gate?

This one with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, can you be more professional, it's not okay to attack the Sanshan Gate, what are you doing to beat us, the brothers are not prepared.

Liu Wuyuan held the hilt of his sword in his hand and looked at the Ming army in the distance with anxiety, he had already seen that the Ming army was boarding the ship, and there were hundreds of rafts, which made him feel heavy

"Quick, go and report to Jingushan, it means that the army is going to hit the water gate!" Liu Wuyuan hurriedly grabbed a personal soldier and commanded loudly.

The Water Gate is in Xicheng, and it is also the defense area of Jinli, and he is the commander-in-chief of Xicheng.

The soldier received the order, hurriedly turned around and ran towards the Sanshan Gate.

Liu Wuyuan watched the soldier run away, and then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the nearly 1,000 soldiers in the city.

Although he has no confidence, he must grit his teeth and stick to this water gate.

He was once a subordinate of Zu Dashou, and contributed a lot to the Manchu Qing after the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately he was defeated in the melee of Jiangxi Lekede, he was captured by the Ming army and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with Gao Jinku and others, and after Jin Shenghuan was besieged in Ma'anshan, he and Gao Jinku and others defected down the mountain and took refuge in Bolo again.

He is embarrassed to mention it repeatedly, even if he surrenders, it is estimated that he will die, and he still has some cheekiness, and it is really unreasonable to repeat it again.

He must defend this water gate, Liu Wuyuan hurriedly gathered a few generals in one place, and shouted to everyone: "The Ming army is going to attack the water gate, you all cheer up the general, I have sent someone to find Jin Gushan to ask for troops, the Ming army came by boat, there is no siege equipment, let's defend it, and the reinforcements will arrive." ”

He first drew a cake for everyone, then paused, his sharp eyes swept over everyone, and he suddenly pulled out a section of his waist knife, made a "poof" sound, and said angrily: "If any of you dare to escape from the battle, or turn against the enemy, I will kill him with one sword." You know? ”

Several generals were shocked by his words, and they were silent for a while, and they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Wuyuan immediately shouted angrily, "Ben will ask you if you understand?" Are they all deaf? ”

An older general reacted and immediately clenched his fists and said: "I am willing to obey the general's command and will never back down." ”

Everyone woke up and saluted together, "We are willing to obey the general's orders and fight against the Ming army!" ”

With a "poof" sound, Liu Wuyuan suddenly inserted the knife back into the sheath again, he squinted at everyone, this is the effect he wants.

"Good! Each of you defends a section of the wall, and go and prepare! ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet rushed to the water gate, Liu Wuyuan hurriedly rearranged the city defense, arranged 400 people on each side of the water gate, prepared more bows and arrows, and bird guns, and he led 200 people to personally guard the water gate.

Nearly a thousand green battalion soldiers suddenly rushed up, the archers had already wound up, and the battle was about to break out.

"General, the Ming army is coming up!" One of the soldiers pointed to the river that ran directly into the city and shouted in a low voice.

Needless to say, all the people became nervous, staring intently at the river outside the city, and the Ming ships gradually approached the city wall.

Dozens of ships and hundreds of rafts of the Ming army have reached more than 200 units.

The first of these ships was the one with a shed that had been torn down and had a wooden frame on top, and a log hanging from an iron chain underneath, wrapped in iron sheets, which was used to hit the watergate fence.

?“ This is the battering ram for the attack on Watergate! ”

Seeing this, the Qing soldiers in the city exclaimed.

Seeing that the Ming army fleet was getting closer and closer, Liu Wuyuan's expression became nervous, and he said urgently: "Listen to my orders, prepare bows and arrows, and bird guns!" ”

The Water Gate is not a key defensive area, so it is not equipped with heavy siege equipment, but the Ming army attacking the Water Gate cannot use large siege equipment.

On the fleet of the Ming army, Yang Yanchang, the commander of the Tiger Wing Battalion, raised his sword and shouted, "Raise the shield and release the gun!" ”

The sword and shield soldiers on the ship immediately raised their shields and formed a shield wall, and the bird gunners behind them raised their guns to strike.

"Bang bang bang~" There was a bang, and the Qing soldiers at the head of the city suddenly fell down, and several people fell into the water, smashing out a splash, blood and water came out, staining the river red, and the corpse floated up.

Liu Wuyuan was slightly stunned, he was in the city, condescending, why did the Ming army fire first.

Liu Wuyuan immediately gave an order: "Shoot!" ”

The firecrackers in the city lit the fireropes, and the archers took their bows and arrows and hurriedly shot them, but the arrows and bird's guns did not cause any damage, and most of them fell into the water.

Liu Wuyuan immediately reacted, at this time, their bird guns were not good, and the Ming army changed to a new gun, and the range was more than the old guns of the Qing army.

When the Qing army missed this move, they became passive, and when they were loading, the Ming army had already raised their guns again to suppress the city.

The Qing army was small, but the Ming army fleet had 3,000 people, and the Qing army did not dare to show its head when the guns were fired.

This is the siege ram in front of it has approached the water gate, Liu Wuyuan saw this, and hurriedly ordered more than a hundred gunners to follow him down the city.

The Water Gate had no gates, only two iron bars to block the entry and exit of ships.

The Qing soldiers went down to the water gate, laid wooden planks on the surface of the river, and the soldiers immediately lined up in three rows and put guns in the water gate hole.

The Qing army took turns shooting, and the lead bullets kept shooting at the battering ram, most of them hit the two iron fences, sparks splashed everywhere, and some of them shot into the water, but some still hit the battering ram and the Ming army next to it.

The soldier poured from the boat into the water, and blood splattered out, instantly staining the river water in the doorway.

"Shield! Firebolt! Yang Yanchang shouted again.

The sergeant at the bow of the ship immediately picked up his shield, but the ships behind him, because the battering ram was blocked in the doorway, were not good at shooting the Qing troops outside the door.

This is the Ming army ships, one after another into the city, part of the crowd outside the water gate, and the Qing army on the city to shoot, the other part, about 2,000 people on both sides of the water gate on the land, erect a simple siege ladder, shouting to kill the sky to climb the city walls on both sides of the water gate.

In the Watergate Cave, there was a loud "bang", and the battering ram slammed into the iron fence, and several arm-thick iron bars were suddenly bent.

There were dozens of ropes tied to the battering rams, and twenty people stood on each side, and they pulled the ropes, suspended the battering rams in the air, and in a shout, the battering rams reverberated and crashed into the iron gate, and with another muffled sound, the battering rams hit the iron fence hard.

Although the Qing soldiers in the city continued to release guns inward, the two iron gates became a natural barrier for the Ming army, and most of the lead bullets were blocked by the iron fence.

Seeing this, Liu Wuyuan's brows furrowed, he looked up at the city, and immediately turned back to a general and said, "Su Weidong, you go to the city and transfer another hundred people to the general." Stay in the city, and let the soldiers fire rockets, fire pots, and burn ships!" ”

?“ Yes, sir! The general listener, clenched his fists, and turned to go to the city.

Inside the water gate, the soldiers who hit the fence used the fence as a barrier, and the soldiers raised their shields to protect them, but after all, the distance was close, and the power of the fire guns increased greatly, and the soldiers still fell into the river without standing up.

In a moment, the door was full of floating corpses, and Yang Yanchang, who was commanding the attack on a boat behind, was suddenly furious, and shouted: "The fire gun continues to suppress the head of the city, and then forty people will hit the door." ”

A Ming warship immediately rowed forward and crashed into the city ship, and the soldiers jumped up one after another, pushing the dead soldiers into the water, braving the rain of bullets and bullets of the Qing soldiers, and then pulling the rope, and hitting again.

The first fence is completely deformed and is about to fall off.

Seeing this, Liu Wuyuan became anxious, why didn't the city send people down.

When he was anxious, a group of 200 Qing soldiers ran down the city, but the leader of the team was the personal soldiers he sent to ask for help.

The soldier didn't need him to ask, so he said: "General, the Jingu Mountain side is also tight, he said that the attack on the Water Gate by 3,000 people is a feint, and only 300 people are allocated to the lowly position, so that the general must guard the Water Gate." ”

While he was talking, there was a "boom" in the water gate, and the first fence had been knocked open by the Ming army.

Seeing this, Liu Wuyuan's face changed, and he grabbed the soldier here, and said hurriedly: "You go to Nancheng and report to Governor Hong, it means that the army may attack the east and west, and now that the water gate is in crisis, please send two thousand men and horses to come and support." ”

The Qing soldier did not dare to slack off, hurriedly found a war horse, turned over, whipped the horsewhip, and galloped south.

But before his horse speed could be increased, a Qing soldier ran over, in the direction of the Water Gate.

Seeing this, he didn't think about it, but his heart was overjoyed, and he shouted from afar: "Which of you are the centaurs? What to do? ”

"Ben will be ordered to reinforce the Water Gate!" Ma Jinbao, who was riding on a war horse, opened his mouth and said.
