"Hahaha, it turns out that the adults have hidden such a hand, no wonder we need our general troops from all walks of life to cooperate with the siege of the city and disperse the deployment of the Hong Dynasty army in the city!!"

Xia Chengde presided over the siege battle on the western front, and it was not until this time that such a big movement from the east came, and finally let go of the prejudice in his heart, and instead looked into the distance with an admiring look.

"Brothers, hold on to Lao Tzu, and work hard to make the Hong Dynasty people in Jining Mansion increase their knowledge, and our Ming Dynasty soldiers are not useless!!"

With joy in his heart, Xia Chengde did not forget to cheer for the soldiers under his command, and with the results of the battle in the east as support, Xia Chengde was also very confident in speaking angrily at this time.

"Wow!!"

In order to share the pressure on the siege troops in the east, Xia Chengde, Gao Jie and other Ming Dynasty generals did not withdraw their troops in the face of the collapse of the city wall in the east, but increased the soldiers who were invested in the siege, giving more pressure to the soldiers of the third army of the Hong Dynasty in the city.

"Did the commander find it?"

"Where's the brigade commander??" Fastest update on PC::/

The walls of the eastern city were already in chaos, and if they had been placed in the case of any other army in this era having suffered such a change and lost its commanding general, I am afraid that these teams would have collapsed and fled in all directions.

But in the army of the Hong Dynasty, even when the army commander Kong Youde and the brigade commander Bai Guangen disappeared near the ruins of the collapsed city wall, the commotion of the soldiers of the Hong Dynasty only lasted for about half an hour.

As the commander of the Fourth Brigade and the Third Regiment, Chopard previously guarded the site as a section of the East City Gate Watchtower, and when Kong Youde and Bai Guangen climbed the watchtower to observe the enemy's situation, Chopard was leading half of the soldiers in the regiment to fight in the watchtower area.

When the walls collapsed, Chopard did not abandon the territory he was stationing in, but instead stepped forward and directed his soldiers to retreat to a relatively calmer section of the castle north of the city.

As the saying goes, those who are not afraid of death are naturally favored by God, Chopin has always ignored the rubble falling like hail around him, and he did not care about the violent shaking of the city wall under his feet, but until the tower calmed down again, he himself had no other scars except for a few pieces of rubble.

"Ahem, ahem!!"

"Brothers of the third regiment, go with Lao Tzu to plug the gap!!"

"Guard platoon, find the whereabouts of the army commander and brigade commander for me!"

I didn't have time to think too much, listening to the increasingly dense footsteps outside the city, but Chopin pulled out the non-commissioned officer Tang knife at his waist, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the gap that was still shrouded in smoke and dust without looking back.

The soldiers of the Hong Dynasty of the three regiments, after glancing at each other, dozens of figures followed closely into the hazy place, most of them were the backbone non-commissioned officers of the three regiments.

When hand-to-hand combat, as a non-commissioned officer, he must charge forward, which is already a fine tradition of the Hong Dynasty army to penetrate into the bone marrow. With the role of these leading sheep, even if the soldiers at the bottom of the black tea were timid and scared, they also aroused their desire to kill the enemy and fight, and countless figures stepped forward, followed behind their commander, and stepped into the land shrouded in gunsmoke.

"Kill!!"

"Ahh

The sound of the battle soon sounded, and when the smoke cleared, the city wall that was blown up by the layout of the Ming Dynasty army somehow, the original bare masonry breath was washed by the red blood.

The Ming Dynasty army left the largest army in Dongcheng, but it was the sum of the number of other three-way siege troops, which is why Kong Youde personally climbed the Dongcheng watchtower and sat here.

The collapse of the city wall caused by the root of the southeast city wall finally brought a gap seven or eight zhang wide, like a complete pie killed back and was inexplicably bitten.

Although the wreckage scattered after the collapse of the city wall still has a general shape, except for causing some trouble to the Ming Dynasty's advance troops, it can no longer prevent them from climbing straight with their hands and feet, easily climbing on top of the ruins, and breaking through to the city along this gap.

The soldiers of the Hong Dynasty guarding the several miles wide city wall of the eastern city actually had a total strength of no more than 10,000 people, because when they did not know what calculations were behind the Ming Dynasty commander, it was the safest tactic to respond to all changes with the same.

Anyway, in Kong Youde's opinion, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty army to break through this city made of blue bricks, boulders and concrete in a short time.

Even with powerful artillery, the time it takes to break through a city wall is measured in days. ::

As for the Ming Dynasty army besieging Jining City with physical mortals and rudimentary siege equipment, Kong Youde and they would not be worried.

With the collapse of the southeast city wall, most of the soldiers of the Hong Dynasty guarding it also died with this collapse, that is, there were occasional survivors after the war, and the number of losses in the war may still be 2,000.

The losses of the 4th Brigade and 3rd Regiment were also not small, and the soldiers who followed Chopin to plug the gap were actually only more than 1,000 men, and most of the remaining soldiers were lost in the chaos.

The Ming Dynasty finally blew up the gap, and the subsequent offensive was naturally built up for a long time, and the number of soldiers in the first wave of charging alone exceeded 5,000 people, which was also because the gap in the eastern city wall was narrow, which was not conducive to a large number of soldiers fighting at the same time.

The Ming Dynasty sergeants who followed the formation reached 10,000 people, which meant not giving the Hong Dynasty army a chance to breathe and preparing to open the city defense of Jining in one go.

Although more than 1,000 soldiers of the three regiments were heroic, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty army, encouraged by the fact that the city defense was about to be broken and the people of the Hong Dynasty suffered such a big loss, they fought like chicken blood, and did not retreat, and even broke the defense line temporarily built by Chopin.

After leaving behind the corpses of hundreds of Hong Dynasty soldiers, looking at the dilapidated positions, and the fact that many Ming Dynasty soldiers had already entered the city after their positions, and did not know whether they had their own blood on their bodies, or the blood stained by the opponents he had killed, or both, Chopin, who was covered with red faces, could only give the order to retreat in despair.

Chopard knew very well that the Ming army broke through the city defense, in fact, it was only to complete the first part of the occupation of Jining City, and opened the gate of Jining City, and then they also needed to capture the Hong Dynasty Palace, which was also good at fighting street battles in the city, and completed a more brutal battle in the urban area of Jining City within a radius of dozens of miles.

The reason why Chopard took the initiative to close this gap was that he just wanted to buy time for the other defenders in the city, and to find the army commander and brigade commander who had disappeared into the collapsed area.
