Chapter 764 Nanjing Attack and Defense Ten
The Qing army in the city was defenseless, and the entire city wall and ground in the western section of Tongji Gate suddenly rose high, and then fell heavily, the process was only in an instant, a hundred times more terrible than an earthquake.
The strong city of Nanjing collapsed in an instant in the violent explosion, a city wall nearly five zhang long all collapsed, hundreds of Qing soldiers on it were all killed, and those who did not die also fell in the ruins and rolled and wailed.
The collapse was a mess, and the surviving soldiers were stunned.
Tong Tulai was very unlucky, he was on the verge of the explosion, and although he was not killed, his leg was broken by the flying masonry.
He couldn't think about why the walls were blown up, he just instinctively moved backwards.
At this time, the collapse of the city wall caused smoke and dust to rise, obscuring his vision, and he saw only some frightened and deranged soldiers around him, walking aimlessly on the wall, with a frightened howl from his mouth, and the sound of wailing and cries for help everywhere.
Suddenly, he saw a red-armored soldier, who was his personal guard, standing next to him in a daze, looking at the collapsed place with dull eyes, and he suddenly shouted: "Tong Guozheng, come and help the general"
Before he finished speaking, a cannon hit and smashed directly on the head of the guard, and immediately his head was flattened, and blood and brains splashed everywhere, making Tong Tulai's face confused.
Fortunately, at this time, many Qing soldiers gradually came to their senses, and the two Eight Banners found Tong Tulai, and while busy setting him up, they dragged him down the city.
The debris splashed by the explosion smashed on his body, which made Hong Chengchou sober up, and he was terrified in his heart, didn't Tong Tulai say that the three tunnels were all blown up? How did the Ming army bomb the city?
He stood up, and saw the gap five feet wide, and his heart was shocked and angry.
This Tong Tulai, followed Doze, Duoduo was defeated, followed Bolo, Bolo was defeated, and now he is here to harm him.
Hong Chengchou doesn't engage in any superstitions, and he doesn't say anything strange and confused, but he really regrets it now, and he didn't drive this broom star to Jiangbei to harm others.
Just when he was angry, there was a faint sound of war drums outside the city, and the shouts of countless people from far and near, the sound shook the whole city.
A Qing general beside him was a little shocked by the explosion just now, he listened to the tide of shouts and killing, and said with trembling lips: "Governor, the Ming army has begun to attack the city!" ”
At this moment, a Qing general ran down from the city, saw Hong Chengchou, and immediately rushed over as if he had seen his mother, crying and mourning from afar: "Governor, it's not good!" Gushan is injured! ”
All right! He'll pick the time!
The two of them still have a bit of a surname, and now Hong Chengchou is only full of anger, but he doesn't have time to attack, "Quick, go find the king of Duanzhong County, and ask him to quickly transfer people to support." ”
Now Hong Chengchou finally found a reason for Wang Yan's heavy troops to attack Tongjimen, and it turned out that there was still a tunnel that had not been discovered.
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou's heart settled down from the explosion. Yesterday, he increased his troops to Tongjimen twice, even if Wang Yan blew up the city wall, he didn't want to easily enter the city.
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but cheer up, allowing himself to exude a resolute and resolute spirit, in order to appease the soldiers around him.
"Someone, get a pair of armor for Bento!"
Now to get the armor, it is too time-consuming to go back and forth, and a Qing general is very sensible, and immediately began to untie his armor. His figure was about the same as Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou did not refuse, and the group hurriedly pierced his armor, while he continued to order: "Send someone to let the prefect of Jiangning immediately build a low wall in the city to enclose the gap." ”
At this time, the war drums of the Ming army outside the city were beating rapidly, and thousands of prisoners once again acted as the vanguard, carrying the flying bridge to rush to the front, and the main force of the Ming army did not wait for the captives to consume first, and the five thousand Zheng troops under the banner of loyalty followed and launched a charge.
The moat outside the Tongji Gate is narrower than the Qinhuai River, and the pontoon bridge built last time, the Qing army only burned a section close to Nanjing, and it is easier for the captives to build the pontoon bridge today.
Taking advantage of the panic in the city, countless prisoners jumped into the water and carried the flying bridge.
Thousands of Zheng soldiers stepped on the flying bridge, and the bodies of the captives below were trampled upside down, but one by one they gritted their teeth and insisted, allowing the elite of Zheng Jun to pass through quickly, and crashed headlong into the dust caused by the collapse of the city wall.
At this time, the Qing soldiers on both sides of the collapse reacted, and immediately fired a volley of guns, and the archers shot a scattered rain of arrows, and the accuracy was not good.
At the same time, the Qing army's artillery carts hiding behind the city walls finally came back to their senses in the chaos, and hundreds of artillery stones rose into the air and fell rapidly.
However, the artillery also had a flaw, that is, their range was basically fixed, and once the Ming army rushed through the area of the artillery attack and entered the city, they were no longer threatened by him.
Gan Hui's 5,000 men, taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing army, most of them rushed to the bottom of the gap. The archers and firecrackers of the two thousand households immediately seized both sides of the gap and began to line up to throw a rain of arrows at the city heads on both sides of the gap, firing bird guns, and suppressing the Qing troops on both sides of the city.
Gan Hui gave an order, and thousands of swords, shields, and spears climbed up quickly along the messy bricks and mounds of earth after the collapse.
The smoke and dust that rose after the collapse of the city wall did not dissipate, and the soldiers seemed to be in a fog.
There was not the slightest sound of the collapse except for the sound of guns and screams from both sides, only the grinding of the soldiers' armor as they climbed, and the heavy wheezing.
Gan Hui led the soldiers to grope all the way in the smoke and dust, climbing up to the top of the city along the collapsed city wall, and the first few soldiers were just about to reach the top, when they were stabbed by several spears, and the Zheng soldiers were caught off guard, screaming and rolling down.
The sound of killing suddenly shouted, and the Zheng soldier next to him immediately fired back with the weapons in his hand, stabbing a few Qing troops to death, but the Qing army behind immediately filled up, and the two sides formed a desperate fight in the collapsed place.
At this time, the two sides of the collapse were densely packed with human heads, on the front was Zheng Jun wearing a disc helmet, swarming to climb up, and on the back was the Qing army with red hats, also filling the gap like ants.
The two sides first exchanged long weapons, and soon turned into a hand-to-hand fight, people crowded with people, face to face, no martial arts, just simple assassination and slashing, each blow took away a human life.
At this time, fear is useless, the Ming army is constantly impacting, the Qing army is also constantly filling people, the two sides are in the collapse of the endless exchange of death, the Qing army just wants to retreat, and the people behind can not retreat.
Originally, after the collapse of the city wall, it was much shorter than the two sides, but soon the corpses in the collapsed place were piled higher and higher, and they were level with the city wall.
At this time, the Ming army's attack on several other gates also started at the same time, the people of Nanjing City closed their homes one after another, the streets were full of red-topped hats, and the running Qing army looked very chaotic, but if you look down from the air, these Qing troops who seem to be walking through the maze can still see some rules, and most of the green battalion soldiers are gathering in the direction of Nancheng.
In the west of Nanjing, the weapons workshop and the cannon casting workshop, guarded by the Qing general Ma Jinbao, he was originally the deputy general of Anqing in the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Tongzhi, when the Qing army went south, surrendered to Azig, the rear town of Jinhua, after the battle of the south of the Yangtze River, was transferred into Nanjing.
At this time, he looked at the green battalion soldiers running on the street, and looked a little uneasy.
Suddenly, he paced back and forth with his sword, walked to the side of the street, grabbed a member of the general manager, and asked, "Where are you going, brother?" ”
The general manager of Qian was angry and wanted to break away, but looking at his official robe, the complement was a cut bigger than him, and he was actually a chief soldier, so he didn't get angry, hugged his fists slightly and said urgently: "My lord, the southern city was blown up by the Ming army, and I can't say much about my humble duties, if I don't rush over, I'm afraid the Ming army will enter the city." ”
