An hour later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the urn city of Gongchen Gate, Liu Liangzuo and others looked at the city wall less than ten zhang away on the right with frightened eyes.

Or half of the city wall.

The city wall more than three zhang high has long been unrecognizable, and there are gaps in the wall peeling off in the range of nearly ten zhang wide on the outside, and even the top of the city wall has collapsed half of the most serious place, and the collapsed broken bricks and rammed earth are piled up under the wall into a wide slope, which is like a specially built siege fish beam road, which is only the effect of less than fifty cannonballs hitting, and it is also because the distance of those Shenwei invincible general cannons is too far, and the power of the cannonballs can not really be brought into play.

If this is placed within a mile, I am afraid that it will not take half of the shells, and the wall will have to collapse completely.

Black dog blood, I want black dog blood!

Liu Liangzuo screamed in panic.

Almost at the same time, a ferocious roar suddenly came, and then he saw a faintly recognizable black shadow passing quickly in the field of vision, and the next moment the city wall that collapsed into a cliff shook violently, and before Liu Liangzuo could react, at least a section of the city wall three zhang wide was like a monster drilling out, and the rammed earth city wall suddenly arched, accompanied by a terrifying flame, and instantly turned into countless fragments and sprayed into the sky.

Flowering bombs.

Broken bricks and pieces of rammed earth shot like cannonballs, splattering the walls with flesh and blood.

"The city is broken!"

Countless screams rang out from the city walls.

Then the second same whistling came, or accurately hit the section of the city wall that had appeared a huge gap, the same explosion also sounded in the next moment, when the explosion ended, the gap had expanded to more than 20 meters, but the Ming army was obviously not ready to end their bombardment, three flowering shells whistled in a very short time, two swept over the city wall and hit the city, and one also hit the gap in the city wall, and the scope of the gap expanded again.

And just after these five flowering bullets fell, His Majesty the Emperor in front of the Ming army in the formation waved the giant Mo knife in his hand, six infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade, under the cover of nearly two hundred cannons of various types from an artillery brigade and six artillery battalions behind, launched a fierce attack on Yangzhou City.

"Hold the walls, don't let them cross the moat!"

Liu Liangzuo roared like an eruption.

However......

Those who are stupid soldiers, they are like this and a fart, the city wall is blasted open and the remaining moat is a few zhang wide and there is a fart, they do love silver more than they love the emperor, but the problem is that they love their own lives more than they love silver, at this time, nearly two hundred cannons of the Ming army on the opposite side bombarded together, and the city wall was beaten to death, especially those Shenwei invincible general cannons have been loaded, and the second round of giant flowering bombs will come soon, when will you not run at this time?

"You dog thieves!"

Liu Liangzuo howled in despair.

In his howl, the defenders on the city wall started from the Gongchen Gate, like a domino that has been knocked down, one by one turned their heads and rushed desperately to the horse road in the city wall, and then rushed up the street that went straight to the south gate, and soon converged into a torrent of escape, and in a blink of an eye, they broke open the city gate and rushed out of the city and disappeared in Liu Liangzuo's field of vision, he looked at the outside of the city with grief and indignation, and had begun to rush to the moat, using a ladder to build on the pier of the destroyed bridge deck in front of the main gate, and then swarming the Ming soldiers who rushed over, and then turned his head to Wu Weiye......

Uh, what about Wu Weiye?

Of course, Wu Weiye ran away, not only Wu Weiye ran away, but even Bi Fangji and Tang Ruowang, as well as those masters and goddesses, all ran away.

"I hate you!"

Liu Liangzuo roared angrily.

At the same time, a Ming soldier suddenly rushed to the city wall from the gap, and then raised his hand to aim at him and pulled the trigger, as the gun rang out, his body shook violently, staggered to the arrow stack of the city wall and tried to stand firm, but a flowering bullet suddenly exploded beside him, and the force of the explosion hit him the back with shrapnel, the only guy who was still alive in the four towns of Jiangbei at that time, flew out from the arrow stack like a dead dog, and fell under the city wall nearly ten meters high.

And at the gap in the city wall, like ants gushing out of an anthill, dense Ming soldiers continued to pour onto the city wall, and the remnants of the Shun soldiers who had not escaped did not hesitate to kneel on the ground and wait for disposal.

Yangzhou was conquered.

Including the new city was also conquered, just when the old city defenders fled, countless Yangzhou people rushed to the city wall of the new city, the defenders who did not dare to resist ran and surrendered, the Ming army entered the old city at the same time, the gates between the old and new cities were also opened by those people.

Yangzhou, which was pinned on all the hopes of Li Zicheng and the Jiangnan gentry, changed hands in less than two hours.

Ten million taels of silver are useless.

Those soldiers can indeed resist the emperor for silver, but fifty taels of silver to buy their lives is still far from enough, just the fierce power of the invincible general cannon, which manpower can bear, they can fight against the emperor is to know that the emperor can not be like dealing with Jiannu, wielding an eight-hundred-pound giant axe to kill a frenzy, in the end, the emperor still cherishes the people, but the cannonball is not long-sighted, a cannon down is to burn the jade, in that case, resistance will be a dead end.

"It's really boring, seeing them go through so much effort, I thought I could really have a good fight, but I didn't expect it to be like this again."

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, to this point, I'm afraid that there is no one in the world who does not know the general trend, that is, a handful of guys who are unwilling to fail are just dreaming, but the common people know in their hearts, as far as the ministers know, even the peddlers and pawns in Nanjing City now understand that the rebellion is imminent, and these soldiers are of course more clear. Even if they are greedy for money and make their minds faint for a while, they will eventually come to their senses in the face of His Majesty's might, how can they really work for the rebellious current? No matter how much silver you get, after all, it is meaningful to have a life flower, and even if you have no life, let alone give them dozens of taels of silver, what is the use of giving them hundreds of thousands of taels? ”

Liang Cheng said.

"But the minister thinks that at this time, he should be careful that Li Zicheng escaped."

Then he said.

"Run? Where can he escape, although the world is big, after all, they all have to return to my hands one by one, even if I let him go back to Guanzhong, what can he do if he can make a comeback? His foundation no longer exists, it's just a matter of surviving! ”

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty, the prince of Nan'an Hou is a fold!"

At this time, a brocade guard handed over a notebook and said.

Although Zheng Chenggong is the emperor's righteous son, this is only an honorary title, he doesn't even have a real official position, and his identity is still the son of his father Zheng Zhilong.

Yang Feng took the fold.

"Li Zicheng can't escape!"

He glanced at it and handed it to Liang Cheng and said.

"He's Cao Bin to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

Liang Cheng looked at the fold and gasped and said.

"He's Cao Bin to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

On the Yangtze River north of Wuhu, a civilian official next to Jin Shenghuan said in despair.

Not far downstream at the mouth of Yuxi, small boats lined up as if the boundless long dragon continued to gush out of this estuary, these are still like last time, the huge fleet of small inland river boats composed of fishing boats, sand boats and other small river boats has changed, all boats are equipped with bamboo rafts made of bamboo, like a rampant crab, stretching into the west channel of Chenqiao Zhou.

"What do you mean?"

The big old Jin Shenghuan said.

"The Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the general Cao Bin built a pontoon bridge on the Yangtze River in Quarry."

The civil servant said with a wry smile.

"They're going to build a pontoon bridge over this big river?"

Jin Shenghuan exclaimed.

Well, Zheng Chenggong was indeed preparing to do this, and at this moment, at the foot of Tianmen Mountain on the east bank of the Yangtze River downstream, small boats full of Ming soldiers were rushing up to the east bank.

"Quick, assemble!"

Lin Dong, deputy commander of the Fourth Infantry Brigade of the Dangkou Army, jumped out of the boat and shouted.

Immediately after that, all the Ming troops who were stepping on the east bank of the Yangtze River began to move closer to him, and a mile away from them, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shun army did not dare to come forward to intercept them, no matter how urged by those generals, those soldiers just did not move forward. In fact, the generals did not dare, because between them and the Ming army, the flowering shells fired from the mortar cannons on the west bank were constantly flying over the river less than two miles, and then fell with a whistling sound and turned into explosive flames. Those soldiers were hesitating whether they were like the soldiers in almost all places before, chopping the generals with knives to greet the king, how could they still step forward to attack in this situation.

In this way, under the watchful eye of 10,000 Shun troops, the Ming army quickly completed the landing, and then established a defensive line in Tianmen Mountain.

Now the Shun army will not attack.

And at the same time as the Ming army's defense line was established, a small boat dragged a tethered rope used on a hot air balloon across the river, and the soldiers waiting at the foot of Tianmen Mountain took the rope and shouted to drag another thicker rope across the Yangtze River, and then more soldiers dragged this rope and continued to pull, a brown cable that was almost bowl thick was dragged across the Yangtze River and tied to a huge rock in Tianmen Mountain, and the other end of it was tied to the twenty-four Hongyi cannons on the west bank tied together with iron chains. The latter is housed in a huge wooden cage buried in the ground.

It is said that more than 30 tons weigh a little less.

But fortunately, this pontoon bridge is only temporary, as long as it does not encounter a major flood, it is still enough to support it for a while.

Zheng Chenggong is playing Cao Bin's Yangtze River pontoon bridge to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Cao Bin was built in Quarry Rock, at that time, the Jiangxinzhou opposite the Quarry Rock had not yet come out of the water, but now there is one more Jiangxinzhou, the Yangtze River has been greatly widened, and it is not suitable for building a pontoon bridge, so he chose the location in Tianmen Mountain, which is the narrowest in almost the entire river. Moreover, after capturing Chenqiaozhou, the Ming army also blocked the attack from the upstream, and it was difficult to attack upstream downstream, and the artillery of the Ming army on the west bank was enough to ensure that the enemy could not pass, so that the upstream and downstream were all protected, and the pontoon bridge could be easily built in the middle.

Just when the brown cable crossed the Yangtze River, the waiting fleet at the foot of Xiliang Mountain began to step forward.
