Chapter 629: Infighting

The six nobles headed by the Xu family of Wei Guogong started at almost the same time, and the private soldiers raised by each family rushed out with murderous spirit, the Ming system, the nobles led the troops to fight, these noble families are all generals in the army for many years, and the private soldiers around them are the most elite soldiers.

The weapons and equipment are far beyond the ordinary soldiers, these people are veterans, as long as they have a little contact with each other, they will form a one.

A group of people rushed to the city gate near the river, and most of the rest rushed to the imperial city, now there are no pedestrians on the road, the rich and noble families build fortifications to protect themselves, and the common people do not come out, only the rogue bandits who want to take advantage of the fire to rob, at this time, even if they want to find a place to hide.

Xungui's private soldiers and cavalry are mixed, and it is necessary to have a speed, and there are people blocking on the road and looking at some soldiers with weapons, the first reaction is to kill them, don't let them run away, how can these rogue bandits, lazy soldiers resist the elite who have been raised in Xungui's family for many years.

He was only killed as if he were watching melons chopping vegetables, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Originally, the plan of the eunuchs in Nanjing was to raise a fire at night, and when the time came, the pro-soldiers guarding near the palace would come out and attack them unprepared, but they did not expect that when it was almost dark, the other party would do it first. First, the soldiers on the city wall saw some people running towards the imperial city in the distance.

Looking at the clothes are all ordinary people, the smoke and dust are billowing behind, but it is a sign of the cavalry killing, and when I get to the front, I can see clearly, those people running in front are ruffians, these people are chasing the noble soldiers, and they have nowhere to escape, so they can only run towards the imperial city.

The original purpose of those noble soldiers was the palace, which was equivalent to driving these scoundrels and bandits to rush over, although they planned to send troops at night, but the daytime defense was not so attentive, this is the palace, the imperial city, who will have the courage to attack, as long as it is an attack, it is a crime of rebellion, and everyone will be punished at that time.

By this time, the city gate had not even been closed, and those ruffians saw that there was a road in front of them, so they still cared about what the road was, and rushed over desperately.

Seeing the menacing private soldiers behind them, the guards and soldiers on the imperial city didn't know what was going on, and immediately an officer led the soldiers to rush down, ready to close the city gate.

The gates of the imperial city are all heavy giant gates, and it is very troublesome to close and open them, and the reason why they are open now is also to prepare for the dispatch of troops at night, who would have thought that this time would become a loophole, and the rogue bandits with fast legs and feet have already rushed to the door, and the soldiers inside are unceremoniously slashing and killing with knives and guns, although the combat effectiveness of the rogue bandits is not worth mentioning, but after all, there are weapons in their hands.

As soon as the two sides crowded and fought, the time dragged on, and the private soldiers of the Xu family of the Duke of Wei over there often pacified the horse bandits in Nanzhili and Shandong, and fought with pirates on the seaside, with the most rich experience in actual combat, and were considered the strongest soldiers.

The infantry temporarily retreated, and now the eight horses are arranged in two rows, directly across the golden bridge, shouting and rushing side by side, usually this golden bridge, even if the minister of the family rides a horse, if it is strictly investigated, it is a big crime to overstep, but now he can't care about anything, it is directly eight horses side by side.

The knights on the horse held a big gun in their hands, shouted in unison, and rushed up side by side, they were all veteran generals, the whole team took very little time to align, four horses rushed up, the opposite city gate was still fighting, to be precise, it was slaughtering, those scoundrels knew that the people behind them were going to kill them, rushed into the imperial city, ran to the inside, maybe there was a piece of life, but there was no life in front of it, only the knives and guns kept cutting over, stabbing over.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind me, I thought that if I didn't enter the door, I couldn't run, jumping into the river, or running to other places would avoid the killing machine behind, but I ran all the way in fear, only knowing to run forward, forgetting everything else, and it was too late at this time.

The soldiers guarding the city who were slashing inside the city gate saw the horses rushing from behind, and immediately couldn't care about anything, they just turned around and ran, the city gate was not closed at all, such a large space, such a vast road. How to block the impact of the cavalry, those rogue bandits who were stuffed at the door, they didn't even have time to turn back, they were directly pierced by the big guns and flown away, and the horses behind followed, but they were trampled.

Wei Guogong Xu's family guarded the south of the Yangtze River for generations, and there was a complete training system and at least 4,000 or so family soldiers and generals at home, to this generation, after the land inspection case caused by the Beijing division business group, Jiajing was very protective of the nobles in various places, and the contemporary Wei Guogong disbanded the family soldiers and generals in order to avoid trouble, and these people were thrown in the business business in various places, but the official title of the Nanjing garrison was in, and the generals always had pro-soldiers in their hands.

This is the shedding of 2,000 people, more than 100 horses, if the soldiers and horses in the hands of the former town guard eunuchs in the city of Nanjing and Wei Guogong are hard to shake, it is a joke. At this time, the strength is different, and if Wei Guogong and other nobles want to think about things, they can only take advantage of the lack of precautions to have a chance of winning.

However, since the palace gate is open, there are many chances of winning, if the eunuchs in Nanjing close the palace gate to defend themselves, and besiege the fortified city, there is no equipment can only be an ant attached to the siege of the city, and the troops mobilized by the clans in the city cannot reach such a high number at all, and they can fight there.

But when the door of this imperial city is open, many things are much simpler, and the personal soldiers guarding the eunuch also know that if they are broken in by the other party, they will be defeated.

After retreating into the city gate, more than a dozen people held big shields and spears side by side in front, and the officers behind desperately gathered soldiers to rush forward, and the pro-army guarding the eunuchs had already begun to shoot arrows, and the soldiers of the family who rushed to the front had already fallen to the ground with arrows, but it was not so easy to block as soon as the mouth was opened.

The Xu family of the Duke of Wei obviously has people who really understand warfare, and they have gathered the horses of various noble clans, and they have gathered more than 300 horses.

As soon as the officers and soldiers guarding the imperial city were assembled into a group, they were immediately scattered by the horse team, constantly retreating towards the inside, and the private soldiers of the various major clans in the back kept pouring in.

The same is true for the city gates everywhere, the soldiers guarding the city wall completely ignore the movement outside, they are all facing inward and fighting there, and some people directly surrender obediently, looking at the chaotic appearance in the direction of the imperial city, knowing that the situation is not a matter of control at all, or surrender obediently, so as not to suffer from the disaster of the army.

Only on the north gate, because there is the Huazhou fleet there, the two thousand soldiers and horses in the hands of the military department Shangshu are stationed there to prevent the other party from attacking the city there.

The general who led the troops over there saw the chaos in the city and knew that things were not good, but he didn't dare to move lightly, so he could only send some soldiers and horses to the six yamen to rescue Shangshu.

Outside the city, as if playing, the dozen or so Huazhou soldiers who fired dozens of shells took a bucket from the carriage behind them and scattered a white line on the ground.

Suddenly, the mournful sound of trumpets sounded in the village, and countless people came out of it, and what was even more surprising was that there were large and small animals, horses, cattle, and even mules and donkeys, and behind these animals were all pulling artillery and gun carts, and the animals were pushing hard in front and people in the back.

Nearly fifty guns of different sizes and calibers were pushed up, so many people worked hard together, and the heavy artillery was also moving rapidly, and the Huazhou artillerymen who had been shooting under the city before suddenly dispersed, and at every ten paces on that white line, there was a person standing as a sign.

The artillery pushed up from behind is parked at the white line, and the muzzle and direction are corrected under the command of the soldiers standing there, and there are also artillery and equipment to defend the city in the city, but they can't hit such a long distance at all, and the officers defending the city look at the cannons below, and the whole person is cold, and the soldiers in and out of the city look at the chaotic city, and then look at the cannons outside the city, they are all six gods and no masters, and they don't know what to do.

The following actions are not as casual as during the day, and the artillery of Huazhou showed the people in the city with practical actions why the Huazhou army is invincible.

The actions of erecting the cannon, calibrating, and loading ammunition were done quickly and accurately, and every time it was completed, one person shouted and reported. More than fifty guns were soon reported, and an officer was there shouting.

Fifty guns fired in unison, all of which had been corrected in advance, and the places they were aimed at were all weak places such as city gates, and the largest caliber guns were only ten twelve-rank naval guns, and the smallest was a three-pounder gun.

Although the city gate is weak, the defenders have long been filled with earth and stones, and there is an urn city inside, and the salvo power of this kind of cannonball is impossible to break the city.

But this momentum is too huge, all the voices in the noisy city of Nanjing were suppressed by this shelling, the city wall of Nanjing seemed to tremble, and these soldiers guarding the city gate were lying on the city wall and the ground, chanting Buddha in their hearts.

In the conflict on the side of the imperial city, as soon as the cannon rang out, the morale of the family's private soldiers was greatly boosted, and the pro-army guarding the eunuchs had no intention of resisting......
