"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Gunfire continued to ring out on both sides.

The power of the tiger gun was obviously far beyond the arquebus, and a large number of mini bullets poured into the middle of the Ming army. As the casualties grew, the Ming army on the shore soon began to disperse. Although they were the elite troops of the defenders of Nanjing, they were still much worse than the Ming soldiers in the north. Even the soldiers of the Ming army were no match for the Tiger Army, let alone these guards.

Among them, the first to scatter were those who spewed guns. Due to the snipers of the Tiger Army, concentrated firepower to eliminate this part of the Ming army. Therefore, the casualties of the big squirters are the most serious. The Ming army lying on the ground, as well as the Ming army that fell into the river, most of them were spitting guns. After some of their companions were killed, the other big sprayers couldn't help but retreat as they felt that they had become the target of the enemy's shot.

The other Ming troops also seemed to have discovered that the big spray gun was the target of the opponent's key shot, and in order to avoid hurting themselves, they subconsciously opened the distance between them and the big spray. This time, the squirting hands were very unhappy. In normal times, they rely on the long range of the Big Spray to contain the enemy's firepower and buy time and space for you boys. Now, we are in danger, you guys are all stepping aside, do you want to fight this battle? Since you're all fighting, we're going to spank a fart! So, the surviving big squirting bolt made a move, and simply turned around and kept retreating.

"Stop!"

"Don't go back!"

"Stop!"

"No one is allowed to retreat!"

Although Zhao Lanfeng, the commander of the Ming army, tried hard to stop it, brandished his waist knife, and kept shouting, it had no effect. Due to the fact that Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time, the troops have never had the opportunity to fight in real combat, so everyone is in a mess in peacetime, and they have to get by. As for training or something, it's just going through the motions. Even if the situation of the Kango avant-garde was a little better, it would not be much better. The surrounding atmosphere is like this, how can they get out of the sludge without staining? There is no training, there is no actual combat, and once a critical situation is encountered, everyone naturally does not take the majesty of the commander seriously.

In fact, except for Zhao Lanfeng, the other commanders of the Ming army also thought about retreating. Their main job is to figure out how to make money and how to use their soldiers to earn extra money for themselves. The commercial trade in Nanjing is very prosperous, and you can find a way to make a fortune at will. Therefore, even small flags, general flags and other officers have accumulated a good net worth. Now that the troops are going to fight, they don't want to rush to the front, lest they be killed if they are not careful. That's a terrible wrong!

The firepower of Zhang Zhun's troops was so fierce and the range was so far, these commanders of the Ming army, their hearts, were also very shocked. They thought that they could scare and scare each other by relying on the range of the big spray, but they didn't expect that the enemy also had long-range weapons. That's not a good sign! They have always relied on the big spray to bully the enemy, and now they are not as powerful as others, so what kind of battle are they fighting?

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

What made them feel even worse was that Ning Hai had already outflanked them from the side. The Mini bullet shot by Ning Hai happened to cross into a fan shape with the Mini bullet shot by Fuhai. The casualties of the Ming army were even greater. For the Ming army, more than 10% casualties were already great losses. Now, their casualties have already exceeded one. It was only because the city of Nanjing was behind them that they did not retreat immediately.

To tell the truth, the Ming army of more than 1,000 people is not enough for the Tiger Army, but the Tiger Army is still on the ship, and there is no way to exert all its might. If it was on land, the Tiger Ben army was outflanked from different directions, and none of the more than 1,000 Ming troops could escape.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw to the city!"

Zhao Lanfeng found that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

He is the son of the earl, and he still cherishes his surname very much, and there are several concubines in the family. He deeply regretted that he shouldn't have been in the limelight this time, and he shouldn't have taken the initiative to go out of the city to fight Zhang Zhun. As a result, he came out in a hurry and went back in disgrace, and the lords and magnates of the whole city were probably waiting to see their jokes at this moment. I thought that I could stabilize the limelight, but in the end it turned into a big humiliating defeat, and the other lords and magnates may have fallen back with laughter. is his own Lao Tzu, and he doesn't know how to liquidate himself.

The surviving Ming troops all ran back in the direction of Nanjing City. As for the wounded and corpses on the ground, they didn't care. The large spray guns that had been discarded on the ground, and the large number of arquebuses, were all gone. When they left the city, the team was quite neat, but when they fled, they were like a flock of ducks, and they were in disarray.

Those people who docked in the middle of the Yangtze River to watch the excitement couldn't help but laugh loudly, and they were very happy. Yes, they do have reason to laugh. Seeing the appearance of those officers and soldiers throwing away their armor, they were all very comfortable. This is because these officers and soldiers in Nanjing City do not do good things in peacetime, but only do bad things. Bullying men and women, extortion, stealing, buying and selling, fighting, as long as they can think of bad things, they have done it all, and they are happy to do it. In Nanjing City, I don't know how many merchants hate these officers and soldiers behind their backs.

It's just that these officers and soldiers are all under the control of the major lords and magnates, and they can't afford to provoke them, so they can only swallow their anger and accept it. Now, they finally saw these officers and soldiers embarrassed, holding their heads and running around, and that feeling was as enjoyable as drinking a glass of ice water on a hot day. Although they didn't know who Zhang Zhun was, they were full of good feelings for Zhang Zhun. These officers and men in Nanjing City should also be taught a good lesson. It's a pity that Zhao Zhilong's son didn't seem to be caught. If Zhao Zhilong's son is caught, it will be really relieving!

"Dock!"

Zhang Zhun shouted coldly.

Fuhai adjusted the direction of the sails and soon docked.

The warriors of the Tiger Ben Army, jumping from the boat, chased after the Ming army. However, the Ming troops who fled were quite fast, and they ran away without a shadow after a while. From the shore to the outer city wall of Nanjing City, there is actually only a short distance. The Ming army quickly retreated to the inside of the outer city wall.

The place where Zhang Zhun and they went ashore was called Waijinchuan Gate. The real Jinchuan Gate, still some way from the shore. After the defeated Ming army retreated to the Waijinchuan Gate, they immediately closed the city gate and deployed defenses on the city wall. At the same time, he sent people to Nanjing City to ask for more reinforcements. The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, in hot pursuit, soon came to the Waijinchuan Gate.

The city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty had a two-story city wall. The outermost city wall is not complete, but was built in key places. Intermittently, not fully connected to each other. For example, the city wall where the Waijinchuan Gate is located is not the real city wall of Nanjing City. However, it did block the way of Zhang Zhun and others. On the left side of the Waijinchuan Gate, there is Longwan, and on the right, there is the mouth of the Qinhuai River. They are all waterways, and there are no roads to connect them. The city wall, where the Waijinchuan Gate is located, extends eastward to the Shangyuan Gate. Zhang Zhun and they want to get close to the real city wall of Nanjing, they must enter from here.

Zhang Zhun soon came to the outside of the Waijinchuan Gate.

Through the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun can clearly see that the city wall of Nanjing City is very strong. The surface of the city wall was full of large stones, the smallest of which was one zhang long and two feet thick. Not a single finger can be inserted into the gap between each other. Even the outermost city wall is five or six zhang high, and the width is not known for the time being, but it will definitely not be small when you think about it. After all, Nanjing City is the capital of the Ming Empire, and it is naturally meticulous in the construction of the city wall. In terms of design and construction quality, there will certainly be no problems.

In fact, the huge rocks alone are extremely huge obstacles. Unless there is a howitzer for later generations, it is basically impossible to explode. A flowering bullet made of black gunpowder, which falls on it, bounces off a little dust at most. As for the solid bullet falling on it, the biggest possibility is that there is a small white dot. Grape bombs and chain bombs and the like, don't even think about it.

Therefore, to forcibly break down such a wall, it is unlikely. If you use a ladder, there is no ladder that long. The two ladders are connected, and the carrying capacity is not enough. At the same time, the defenders on the city walls will also fight back desperately. There are less than 300 people in his hands, and he can't withstand such a toss. Therefore, the only thing that could be done was to break the gates. The weakest place in the entire Waijinchuan Gate is the city gate. It seems that the oversized explosives bag will be used again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang"

Around the Waijinchuan Gate, gunfire continued.

This is a sniper of the Tiger Army, looking for a target to snipe.

The gate of Waijinchuan has been firmly closed, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army can't enter, so they shoot coldly outside. Dugu Hunt and other snipers are staring at the city. As long as the Ming army dared to raise its head above the Jinchuan Gate outside, a Mini bullet flew over and killed the target on the spot on the city. In this way, the Ming army at the head of the city did not dare to raise their heads at all.

As a result, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army outside the city had enough time to prepare for the work of blasting the city gate. When transporting explosives packages, they were not worried about the Ming army's obstruction. Inside the outer Jinchuan Gate, is the world of the Ming army. However, outside the Waijinchuan Gate, it is completely the world of the Tiger Army. At the same time, the other Tiger Ben soldiers looked around to see if there was another way to bypass the Waijinchuan Gate.
