"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

……

Ten flowering bullets, drawing a graceful arc, flew towards the south gate of Jianchang City.

"What's that? Faster than the falcons, they're coming towards us! ”

"It's definitely not an eagle falcon, once the eagle falcon's wings are opened, it's much more than that."

"Huh? They did fly over, as if they were going to land at the head of the city, could they be carrier pigeons? ”

……

They all ignored the fact that when the flowering shell left the barrel, it used to make a loud noise, and all the birds could not have made such a loud noise.

Ten flowering bombs, three of which fell on the head of the city, just now the Taining people looked at the lively place, the Taining people immediately dwarfed, and the Ming army under the city could no longer see their traces; Two flowering bombs fell directly on the city wall, the mud-based city wall, suddenly fell a large piece of dust, and the other five flowering bombs, all fell outside the city wall, there was a flowering bomb, the landing point was only five steps away from the city gate, if you can go a little further, maybe the wooden city gate, will collapse.

Zhu Youzhen saw that the city wall was not very strong, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, the flowering bombs would definitely be able to blow up the city wall, "Concentrate all the flowering bombs and bomb them at the city wall." ”

The gunners adjusted the muzzles of their guns, all aimed at the city wall, and at a distance of five hundred paces, the power of the flowering shells was almost exerted to the extreme.

Another wave of shelling, ten flowering shells, six of which fell on the city wall, the city wall shook violently, and Zhu Youzhen could see it with the naked eye, "Yes, maybe the next wave of shelling, the city wall will collapse." ”

Zhu Youzhen still regretted it a little, to destroy such a city wall, maybe the solid bullets fired by the tiger cannon would have a more obvious effect, and it would be good if he brought a few tiger cannons.

At the time of the second shelling, the number of flowering shells that hit the walls of the city increased to eight.

With a "boom", the city wall was not forced, a small section of the earthen wall collapsed, and a gap appeared at the head of the city.

Zhu Youzhen looked in from the gap, there was not a single soldier inside, there seemed to be several corpses on the head of the city, and from a distance, the city wall was not thick.

Perhaps because there were no firearms on the grassland, Jianchang City only needed to guard against the bows and arrows of the nomads.

"Your Majesty, are you still going to shell?"

"Of course, the gap is too small now, and it is still too difficult for the soldiers to climb into the city, so aim at the gap and continue the shelling."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After another round of shelling, the gap widened a lot, and the earth on the city wall collapsed, just padding a gentle slope.

Zhu Youzhen asked the soldiers around him: "Can you climb up now?" ”

"Your Majesty, can you climb up and attack the city now?"

"No, the Taining people don't suffer many casualties, they still have a large number of soldiers, who knows where to hide?" Zhu Youzhen continued to give orders to the artillerymen: "The artillery fire extends forward by 500 paces, and there are two rounds of artillery fire. ”

After two rounds of shelling, the artillery stopped for a while, and loud screams and cries were faintly heard in the city.

Man Gui stretched out his thumb to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty is really a god, how does Your Majesty know that there are soldiers from Taining under the city?" ”

"Haha," Zhu Youzhen lightly pointed at Man Gui's head, "To fight, you must use your brains more, and you can't blindly do it." ”

"Your Majesty, the last general understands!" Man Gui could only smile wryly, "Your Majesty, when the city is attacked in a while, the last general will ask to take the lead." ”

"You?" Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "The cavalry is just such a small number, and it can't be replenished for a while, you better stay behind, the main force of the Taining people is still there." ”

Man Gui's eyes were full of envy, and he didn't know which army could grab the jackpot and be the first to enter the city.

The flowering bomb extended forward another five hundred steps, and Zhu Youzhen estimated that the Taining people near the city gate had already run away, and if they didn't run, they shouldn't have a chance to run, "The infantry entered the city, be careful that the Taining people had an ambush." ”

The first wave of 3,000 soldiers began to enter the city through a gap in the city wall.

The soldiers in front were all holding flintlock pistols and pointing at the gap, as if there was a rattlesnake hidden on the back of the city wall.

The three gunmen stood by the broken wall, and seeing that there was no movement inside, they jumped up, climbed the broken wall, grabbed the flintlock pistol, and scanned all sides, but not a single Taining man found it, except for the corpse.

The three of them crossed steps and slowly walked inside, and the Ming infantry behind them became bold and rushed in through the gap one by one.

Zhu Youzhen kept an eye on the gap, and all the 3,000 soldiers entered the city before he was relieved.

The south gate opened, and the Ming army received more soldiers into the city.

Man Gui asked Zhu Youzhen again: "Your Majesty, now it's our turn to be cavalry, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head with a smile: "Man Gui, don't worry, let the gunmen consume some of the Taining people first, there are no gunshots in the city now, you wait first!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Taining people have a large number of cavalry, and the gunners lack the protection of the cavalry, in case ......" Man Gui is still not dead, his heart has long been itching like a night owl in estrus.

"Haha, Man Gui, you're a foolish layman, aren't you? In such a small space in the city, can the cavalry of the Taining people still be rampant? Zhu Youzhen knew that Man Gui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't let him enter the city for a long time.

"陛xià......"

Before Man Gui could finish his sentence, the sound of flintlock guns came from inside the city, at first only a few sporadic sounds, and then it intensified sharply, apparently a large-scale battle.

Zhu Youzhen looked into the city from afar, but he couldn't see anything, he could only hear the continuous sound of flintlock guns, and he, like Man Gui, also wanted to enter the city as soon as possible.

The sound of gunfire was sparse for a while, and then dense, and Mangui's heart was like the sound of a flintlock pistol, tight and loose for a while.

It took more than half an hour for the gunfire to really thin out.

Man Gui dangled in front of Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, it's time for us to enter the city, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that the fire was almost over, so he had to wave his hand: "Don't blindly slash and kill, pay attention to the safety of the soldiers." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Man Gui said as he stepped on his horse, "Brothers, hurry into the city, otherwise you won't even have to drink the soup." ”

There was a rush of horses' hooves, and they rushed towards the south gate.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: This is full of Gui, I'm afraid that the people of Taining will suffer again!

It wasn't until lunchtime that the sound of flintlock pistols completely subsided, and Zhu Youzhen took his guards and entered the city through the south gate.

The streets were littered with corpses, many of them children's.

Zhu Youzhen frowned, but he did not blame the soldiers who entered the city, the war never tolerates warmth, if it is not to kill the other party cruelly, then wait for the other party to kill, in the history of later generations, the Han people are too weak, only to be ruled by the Manchu Qing with a population of less than one million for three hundred years.

The Taining people have been wiped out, only the soldiers of the Ming army are wandering, and Zhu Youzhen, under the guidance of the soldiers who entered the city, came to the camp of the Taining people.

The camp held the captured Tainin, who were bound by ropes and leaned crookedly against the corners.

Zhu Youzhen asked the guards and soldiers: "How many people have been captured?" ”

The soldiers guarding saluted Zhu Youzhen: "Return to Your Majesty, capture 8,000 strong men, and ...... In addition, there are more than 2,000 women. ”

"Yes, there are 8,000 free laborers." Zhu Youzhen looked around, and the woman was locked up in another place, more than 2,000 people, crammed into a small barracks.

Jianchang was the first town captured by Zhu Youzhen after the Northern Expedition, but when the Ming army searched in the city, in addition to cattle, horses, sheep and fur dry goods, the silver obtained was less than 1,000 taels, and it was obvious that the silver had not been officially circulated in Taining.

Fortunately, there are still 20,000 stone coarse grain in the city, which is the biggest harvest of the Ming army.

Zhu Youzhen originally planned to use Jianchang as a grain and grass supply transit station for the Northern Expedition, but finally gave up, Jianchang City is located in the depths of the grassland, if you want to build a transit station, you must have a large number of soldiers stationed, and there is no avenue on the grassland, and the transportation of grain and grass materials is also inconvenient.

Zhu Youzhen stayed in Jianchang City for a day, cleaned up the city, and buried the bodies of the Taining people, and then left Jianchang City and continued to march northeast.

This time, it was Man Gui's Seventh Cavalry Division that served as the vanguard, while Wang Mujiu's Royal First Division and Hong Chengchou's Fourth Division all followed Zhu Youzhen as the rear army, carrying all the baggage.

Man Gui proudly saluted Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the last general will guarantee that the Fuyu Department will be killed in pieces." ”

Zhu Youzhen glared at him: "Man Gui, I let you be the vanguard, so that you can find the whereabouts of the Buyeo people, not let you act without permission and eliminate the Buyeo people, I have my own rear army." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Man Gui was so frightened that he almost stuck out his tongue, "As long as the Fuyu people don't take the initiative to attack, the last general will promise not to provoke them." ”

Zhu Youzhen said that if you don't provoke the rest of the people, the sows will go up the trees, and the yellow dogs will plough the fields. However, Man Gui is the commander of the cavalry, and when he is needed to participate in the battle, it is usually a face-to-face decisive battle, and it is not a bad thing for the soldiers to be a little tougher, a little more fierce, and a little more intense in battle.

After Man Gui set off, Zhu Youzhen did not stay in Jianchang, and the rear army had to carry artillery, grain and grass, etc., which was slow, and he didn't want to be pulled too far by Man Gui.

Man Gui found traces of the Buyeo people in the area of the Daling River, and he asked the herald to report to Zhu Youzhen, while scattering a large number of rangers to search for the big tent of the Buyeo people near the Daling River.

After Zhu Youzhen received the message sent back by Man Gui, he ordered Wang Mujiu's first royal army, carrying only flintlock pistols and dry rations, to immediately set off lightly and go to join Man Gui.

Wang Mujiu was on the south bank of the Daling River and met Man Gui's Seventh Cavalry Army.

It turned out that after Man Gui found the big tent of the Buyeo people on the south bank of the Daling River, he deliberately circled around the big tent of the Buyeo people, exposing the whereabouts of the Ming army and threatening the safety of the Buyeo tribe.

When the Buyeong people discovered Mangui's cavalry, they immediately assembled a cavalry of 20,000 men to prevent Mangui from approaching, and at the same time, they began to build pontoon bridges over the Daling River to cover the escape of non-combatants with their cattle, horses, and sheep to the north bank of the Daling River.

At the beginning, Man Gui also planned to test the strength of the Buyeo tribe, and when he learned that the old people, children, and women of the Buyeo tribe were crossing the river and escaping, he was murderous, and immediately relied on the advantage in numbers to launch the fiercest attack on the Buyeo cavalry.

Both sides are cavalry, and the comparison is strength, speed and courage, and the fight is the attrition of men and horses.

On the south bank of the Daling River, the shouting and killing shook the sky, and the blood of both sides had flowed together, and then flowed into the Daling River along the low-lying of the grass, dyeing the river red.
