The time has finally arrived.

Sun Chuanting can be said to have made up his mind, the first round of charge, sent 20,000 soldiers to attack Xiangyang Mansion City in one breath, this can be described as a rare arrangement, generally speaking, in the battle of attacking the city, the first round of charge can be arranged to about 5,000 people, the formation is very amazing, after all, the first round of charge has the nature of temptation, no commander will think of defeating the opponent through the first round of charge, unless it is their own side that occupies an absolute advantage.

Thirty Hongyi cannons are aimed at the city wall of Xiangyang Fucheng, these Hongyi cannons are three miles away from the city wall of Fucheng, standing on the city wall can be seen clearly with the naked eye, the swarthy cannon muzzle bursts out with a strong murderous atmosphere, Zheng Jiajun's general Su Congjin is standing not far behind the Hongyi cannon, the battle of the attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, Sun Chuanting entrusted him to be responsible for commanding the attack of the Hongyi cannon.

Sun Chuanting finally put down the monocular in his hand and gave the order to attack to the heralds beside him.

The Hongyi cannon instantly began to roar.

Beams of fire flew out of the muzzles, and cannonballs whizzed to the walls ahead.

Sun Chuanting raised the monocular in his hand again, until this time, he was still skeptical about the effect that the Hongyi cannon could have, after all, the previous attack, the Hongyi cannon had been used countless times, and it did not cause devastating damage to the rogue on the city wall, could it be that the Hongyi cannon transported from Nanzhili really had greater power.

Sun Chuanting was more worried about the attack of the foot soldiers, the terrain of Xiangyang Mansion City was special, surrounded by water on three sides, and one side was backed by a mountain, and the route that the sergeant could attack was the official road to enter the south gate. The official road is not very wide, and the charge of the sergeants will inevitably be suppressed, although 20,000 men are sent to charge, but the number of people in a line does not exceed 50, and such an offensive formation can easily be suppressed by the rain of rogue arrows. Heavy casualties, especially the Hongyi cannons on the city walls, once fired, would cause huge casualties and deal a major blow to the morale of the stormtrooping sergeants.

Soon, Sun Chuanting, who was holding a telescope, began to tremble slightly.

Cannonballs whistled down on the city walls, bricks and trees were blown up all over the sky, and rogues were blown into the air by the air waves. The blood stained red in the air, and even the mutilated body of the rogue could be seen.

The Hongyi cannon owned by the army cannot cause such an effect, the Hongyi cannon fires solid bullets, which can hit the city wall fiercely, and even form a bloody road on the city wall, but it must not bloom, and it cannot blow bricks and trees all over the sky. You can't blow up the rogue into the air.

The Hongyi cannon owned by Zheng Jiajun really has great power.

An even more unbelievable scene appeared to Sun Chuanting.

The Hongyi cannon of the Zheng family army landed accurately on the city wall. The Hongyi cannon on the city wall was hit, and the bulky barrel was blown into the air, and the rogue on the city wall had long been blown up, scurrying like a headless fly, in comparison. Many of the Hongyi cannons and solid bullets fired by the army smashed on the city wall, forming huge holes in the wall, even if they could be launched into the city wall. It's just a whistling pass, and it's hard to cause significant damage.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Sun Chuanting finally believed in the courage of the Zheng family's Hongyi cannon, with such a sharp weapon, the siege of the city can reduce many casualties.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the walls were covered with smoke and dust, and the smoke and dust were blood-tinged.

Sun Chuanting, who was overjoyed, couldn't help it, and he was ready to attack in advance.

At this time, the sergeant sent by Su Congjin came to report that it was time to attack.

Sun Chuanting immediately gave the order to attack, the black pressed sergeant charged towards the south gate, the scattered rogues on the city wall were blown up, there was not much ability to resist, the sparse rain of arrows did not cause much damage at all, the soldiers quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall, some of the soldiers began to hit the city wall with logs, and more soldiers set up a ladder and began to climb towards the top of the city wall......

The situation of the battle at the South Gate was continuously reported to Zhang Xianzhong, who was still in Fucheng.

Zhang Xianzhong originally thought that even if the official army launched an attack with all its might, it would take at least a few days to gain an advantage, and at that time, he could calmly evacuate Xiangyang Mansion along the Han River and preserve most of his strength, but the situation of the battle at the south gate made Zhang Xianzhong's face instantly turn blue, and the huge power of the Hongyi cannon made him not expect at all, especially the five Hongyi cannons on the city wall, all of which were blown up, and they were no longer able to fire shells.

Under such circumstances, once the official army launched a charge, the city would be within reach.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't even go to the south gate to supervise the battle in person, he couldn't make a big mistake because of a small loss, and he had to give the order to evacuate.

Zhang Xianzhong, who had a blue face, looked at the captain of the pro-soldiers beside him, and gave the order word by word.

"Order all the soldiers to quickly evacuate from the West Gate, order the sailors, must break through the encirclement and suppression of the officers and troops at all costs, and evacuate along the Han River, order the sergeants stationed at the North Gate and the East Gate to reinforce the South Gate, and order the sergeants stationed at the South Gate to hold on for half a day......"

The order was given quickly, because it was well prepared, and the order to retreat was carried out quickly.

The city was about to be broken, Zhang Xianzhong was still reluctant to invest too many troops, he only ordered the two thousand righteous soldiers stationed at the east gate and the north gate to go to reinforcements, and delusionally thought that these soldiers could hold out for half a day, which was simply impossible, but without coming to the south gate in person, Zhang Xianzhong could not know the actual situation ahead.

A large number of sergeants rushed in the direction of the west gate.

Zhang Xianzhong also left the palace and headed in the direction of the west gate, he must have evacuated at the front.

Only half an hour passed, and news came from the direction of the south gate that the official army had attacked the city wall.

Hearing the news of the herald's report, Zhang Xianzhong's body trembled instantly, his face turned pale, a large number of sergeants were still boarding the ship, and there were Hongyi cannons of the official army outside the city, these Hongyi cannons were good at dealing with warships, and the forcible charge would definitely cause heavy casualties, at this time, Zhang Xianzhong regretted a little, he underestimated the ability of the official army, and did not expect the official army to attack the city wall so quickly, I knew that this was the case, and I should have sent more sergeants to garrison the south gate, at least to ensure the time of evacuation.

Things have come to this point, and there is no way to hesitate.

Zhang Xianzhong decisively gave an order, the sailors began to evacuate, and the sergeants who had not yet boarded the warship must be on guard to prevent the official army from occupying the West Gate, so that the rebels could not evacuate, and in the end it was the fate of complete annihilation.

The ships began to enter the Han River and quickly withdrew in the direction of the downstream.

The shouting of killing came from the direction of the south gate, Zhang Xianzhong's face had no color, he knew that there was a major mistake in his own arrangement, he originally wanted to be able to preserve more strength, but the battle went on to this point, I am afraid that the losses would be heavy, the righteous sergeants who had not yet boarded the warship could not have too much fighting spirit, let alone fight desperately with the officers and soldiers, once they could not board the warship, these sergeants would definitely choose to surrender.

Sure enough, the sergeants of the righteous army did not think about resisting the attack of the officers and soldiers at all, and no one thought that after the break, many sergeants began to desperately squeeze towards the warship, and the order of orderly boarding was disrupted.

The officers in command shouted loudly, and even raised their steel knives to kill several sergeants who were desperately pushing and pushing the crowd and fighting, but it was not able to stop the situation from calming down, and some officers realized that the situation was not right, and quickly boarded the ship and ordered the sergeants to sail.

Some of the sergeants who had not yet boarded the ship were crying and angry, and they watched the ship sail away, but they could not board the ship, and they knew very well what it would be to stay in the city.

A few warships that had not yet come to remember to sail became the last hope of these sergeants, and more crowding and brawls appeared, and many sergeants drew their knives and began to kill each other, just to be able to board the warship.

Liukou's warships evacuated along the Han River, and this arrangement was soon discovered by Sun Chuanting, who immediately gave an order to Zheng Kaihua, the general of the Zheng family's army, to fire all the Hongyi cannons at these warships, and blew up as many of these warships as possible.

Before Sun Chuanting's order was issued, the Hongyi cannon began to roar.

After the warships on the river were hit by the shells of the Hongyi cannons, the planks flew everywhere, some of the warships caught fire, and countless rogues screamed and fell into the river, and after some struggle, they sank.

With the roar of the Hongyi cannon, the river slowly turned red.

Sun Chuanting's body trembled with excitement.

The south gate has been taken by the army, and the battle is coming to an end, and the rogues who are about to evacuate have encountered the ruthless bombardment of the Hongyi cannons, especially the ten Hongyi cannons of the Zheng family's army, which showed great power and directly sank more than ten warships.

Such a major victory was something that Sun Chuanting did not expect, let alone expected.

Zhang Xianzhong on the warship, watching the appearance of this scene, watching countless rebel sergeants follow the warship into the river, the heavy losses made Zhang Xianzhong almost go crazy, all his arrangements and deployments, at this moment, are considered a complete failure, and now he can only hope that as many warships as possible can escape, originally thinking of being able to preserve his strength, but he didn't expect such an arrangement, resulting in greater losses, Zhang Xianzhong's intestines are going to regret.

Zhang Xianzhong's warship was heavily protected, and there were guarded warships in front and behind, but the huge waves on the river still made him unstable on his feet, but fortunately, the sergeant driving the warship desperately drove the warship, so that Zhang Xianzhong could quickly leave the battlefield and evacuate safely.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was evacuated to a safe place, had no expression on his face, and followed the evacuation of less than 50 warships, according to the calculation of each warship full of 150 people, all the evacuated righteous sergeants were less than 10,000, that is to say, in this battle, Zhang Xianzhong lost nearly 30,000 sergeants, and also lost the most courageous son Li Dingguo.
