At noon in the sunny early summer, people who have experienced deep winter love to bask in the sun in a sunny place in their yard, which is warm and comfortable. The high walls of the courtyard block the peeping of thieves, but it also isolates the world in the courtyard from the outside world, and has become an excuse and prevarication for the common people of the Ming Dynasty not to talk about state affairs.

No, the Marine Division of the Liaodong Army has broken through the outer city and entered, and the streets are already full of chickens, flying and dogs, but in the courtyards on both sides, there are still fighting birds and fighting blacks, and those who should drink tea and chat continue to talk around, indifferent to what is happening outside.

Maybe Jinyiwei and Dongchang are catching films again!

Most people still think this way, and the snow in front of the door is swept by themselves. Don't talk about meddling, it's a nuisance to accidentally hear it.

The capital is divided into the palace emblem Forbidden City, the imperial city, the big city, and the Jiajing Dynasty added the outer city, which is in the shape of the word "product". The magnificent central axis is the "backbone" of the entire city layout

The main buildings are all set on the central axis of the old lane in the north-south direction, with the house, temple, temple, altar, temple and courtyard against each other, and the buildings on both sides are mostly symmetrical and evenly arranged. The Forbidden City is located in the imperial city, the inner and outer city of the layers of arch guards, with the heaven, earth, sun, moon "four altars around. The solemn and magnificent palace, the beautiful and fresh imperial garden, the well-guarded city gate, the exquisite and elegant corner tower, the quiet and profound altar temple view, the strict city defense, the chessboard street, the strangely named alleys, and the rows of courtyards all embody the essence of the overall design idea and architectural technology of the Ming Emperor's capital.

However, this magnificent, magnificent, diverse, and resplendent capital of the Ming Emperor today won the first mutiny in the two and a half centuries since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After the Marine Division captured the Guangqu Gate to the east of the outer city, Xie Yi immediately sent people to report to Zhan Zengyong and Li Han outside the Yongding Gate of the southern city, and then immediately marched to the big city, that is, the inner city.

The black-armored elite cavalry and cavalry artillery outside the Yongding Gate had already begun to assemble, and the artillery was erected on a high ground outside the Yongding Gate, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the Ming army defending the city in front.

This is nothing more than the role of attacking the east and the west and containing the enemy, attracting the Ming army in the city to focus their attention on the outside of Yongding Gate, so as to also make a surprise attack on the side of Guangqumen.

The effect is very obvious, the black armor elite cavalry is arrayed outside the city, and the black pressure is pressing, looking at the Ming army in the city, although there is no action, but this invisible sense of oppression makes tens of thousands of defenders in the city angry.

Li Jing, the general of Yongding Gate, immediately sent someone to inform Wei Liangqing, the nephew of Wei Zhongxian, the commander of the forbidden army, and Su Ningbo. However, Wei Liangqing was too drunk last night and has not gotten up yet. Not only Wei Liangqing, but many generals of the forbidden army did not come to the court.

So Li Jing immediately declared martial law at Yongdingmen and sent the captain to inquire outside the city.

And Zhan Zengyong's answer to him was also very simple, the Liaodong Army was exercising in the morning.

"Morning exercises?"

Countless artillery muzzles were aimed at Yongding Gate. The cavalry lined up outside the city, and if Li Jing believed this kind of morning exercise, it would be better to buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

The war was about to break out, but Li Jing did not dare to call the shots. If you don't understand this, if you fight without understanding it, no matter if you win or lose, Li Jing's punishment will not be able to escape.

The sky fell and was carried by a tall man, Li Jing was not stupid, so he adopted the strategy of not moving the enemy and waiting for Wei Liangqing to come.

However, it was the family of Su Ningbo Mansion who came over and informed Li Jing that there was no need to make a fuss. Wei Liangqing analyzed that this was just a bargaining chip for Deng Haonan to deliberately make a statement and prepare to negotiate with Wei Zhongxian.

Is that really the case?

Perhaps! Li Jing didn't fully believe it, because he could feel the murderous aura coming from the other side.

In front of the cavalry artillery formation of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, the communication soldiers came to report.

"Report!"

"Speak!"

"The Marine Division's Guangqu Gate is in the way! small

"Got it!" Li Han waved the communication soldier and turned his head to look at Zhan Zengyong.

"What do you think!"

Zhan Zengyong thought for a while and said, "If our army moves towards Guangqumen, then the main force of the forbidden army in Yongdingmen is estimated to be transferred, which will be unfavorable to our attack action."

Li Han nodded and said, "You mean we continue to contain the main force?" ”

Zhan Zengyong nodded, noncommittal. But he suddenly smiled: "It's just like that, wouldn't the head work be taken by Xie Yi's kid?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Since it's containment, why don't we do it like a little bit, and we will directly attack Yongding Gate?"

Li Han said: "It's just like that. Destructive and strict, after King Qin succeeds, the imperial court is estimated to be investigated! ”

Zhan Zengyong smiled: "Don't hurt them, they don't know how powerful we are." The harder we beat them, the more they will be afraid when they see us in the future, and they will not dare to be unfavorable to Hou Ye! "That's what I said." Li Han nodded and said, "Taking this opportunity to stand up is also a good strategy!" ”

At this time, Liu Huiwen suddenly said: "The Marine Division entered from Guangqu Gate, recently went to Chongwen Gate, and then went around in circles to enter the Imperial City, their infantry speed is slow. We were on the front, and we only needed to concentrate artillery fire to collapse a wall to attack in a straight line, and maybe we would rush into the imperial city earlier than the marines

The inner city is also known as the "big city of the capital." "The high mouth of the city wall is to occupy the meter, and the bottom is thick and strong. The top is thick with old rice, and there is a female wall. There are nine city gates, four corner towers, three water gates, one hundred and seventy-two enemy platforms, and the battlements. Distilled one. Outside the castle there is a moat of wide meters.

The city has nine gates.

In the thirty-first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty,

Invasion of the northern minorities. Ji Ge built a city outside the whole city of Beijing, and then built a treasure and a city, but was trapped in financial and material resources, and only built a long and narrow city wall from east to west outside the southern city, which is the outer city from Guangqu Gate in the east and Guangning Gate in the west, and is also called Luocheng. In this way, Chongwenmen, the southernmost part of Beijing City, became the inner city.

The outer city is also known as "the outer Guo of the national city." "The length of the city wall is inferior, the height is to 8 meters, the bottom width is about meters, and the top is about the width of the mouth. Rice. There are seven gates.

The outer city was far less fortified than the inner city, and after the Marine Division entered through the Guangqu Gate, the nearest was the Chongwen Gate, where the defense was much tighter than the Guangqu Gate.

Li Han thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "We have a thousand cannons, if we bombard a little, we will collapse the outer city wall in less than a quarter of an hour." ”

Zhan Zengyong said excitedly: "Four legs are better than two legs." Knock down the city walls, and we might even drive away the front of the Marine Division! small

The first skill is extremely attractive to the troops, and it is also a proof that different classes show off to each other. Li Han and Zhan Zengyong quickly discussed and immediately attacked Yongdingmen.

However, just in case, Zhan Zengyong sent 2,000 black-armored elite cavalry to bypass Zuo'anmen and enter the outer city from Guangqu Gate, on the one hand, cooperate with the Marine Division to capture the inner city of Qinwenmen, and on the other hand, cooperate with the cavalry artillery to attack the outer city of Yongdingmen.

The two thousand black-armored elite cavalry suddenly turned eastward, which immediately attracted the attention of Li Jing, the defender of Yongding Gate. However, he no longer had time to care about the whereabouts of the two thousand black-armored elite horsemen, and the soldiers around him had already told him in horror that the cannons of the Liaodong Army on the opposite side were loading gunpowder and shells.

"It's not going to be real."

Li Jing has been around since he saw the cavalry artillery of the Liaodong Army on the opposite side taking off the gun jacket from the artillery. Densely packed with more than a thousand artillery pieces already felt bad, and at this time, seeing the opponent's artillery began to load gunpowder and shells, he already knew that something was wrong.

The lieutenant general stepped forward and said, "My lord, their posture is obviously about to attack the city, so let's strike first."

Li Jing said unhappily: "You don't want to do it?" Let's do it first, it's a 9,000-year-old event, no matter what the final result is, you and I will have to go to prison! The adjutant said with a bitter face: "But you don't look at it either." That Hao Nan's people have thousands of cannons there. If we let them fire first, we won't need to fight back, and we will go down to the Hades Palace to report first. ”

"That's right!"

Li Jing is not a fool, if the other party fires first, his own side will suffer heavy losses.

"The order goes down, the brothers hide first, and if the other party really fires, we will come up."

Li Jing's idea was good, but if he knew the combat methods of the Liaodong Army, then he would never do it.

Seeing that the Ming army in the city was so frightened that they all hid, the Liaodong army under the city suddenly became more morale-boosting.

Li Han arranged the artillery into three echelons, each echelon of 300 guns, each 100 guns arranged in a row, distributed in the front of the wide three miles. Among them, the first and second echelons were used to suppress the firepower of the Ming army in the city, with artillery, the first echelon used solid shells, and the second echelon used grenade shots.

And the third echelon had 400 artillery pieces, which were used as a special bombardment of the city walls, as the main means of breaking the city.

The Black Armor Rider followed behind the third echelon, ready to rush in at any moment.

Suddenly, Liu Huiwen said: "Shall we shout first and tell the other party that we are ordered to be the army of the king of Qin, and kill the eunuchs!" ”

Li Han nodded and said, "Good idea!" Siege for the bottom, attack the heart for the top! ”

Zhan Zengyong said: "There are still many people in the forbidden army who support the royal family, the eunuchs are harming the world, people and gods are angry, and there must be little help for those who have lost their ways, so it may be able to relieve us a lot of pressure!" ”

"Offend less people!"

Several people looked at each other and laughed, so they sent people to the city to shout.

"Brothers of the Ming army in the city! The eunuch party is a scourge to the world. It is already the indignation of people and gods, and the governor of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion is ordered by the emperor to kill the eunuch Qin King, and those who assist in killing the eunuch party will be rewarded, and those who help the abuser will be killed! ”

The shouting outside the city suddenly made Li Jing understand the true intention of the other party. It turned out that it was all fake, and King Qin was the real one.

"Brothers, don't believe them, they are preparing to rebel!"

The eunuchs who were mixed in the forbidden army immediately counterattacked, trying to control the forbidden soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army. However, since the Liaodong Army outside the city is shouting to serve the king of Qin and kill the eunuchs, it is a happy event for most of the forbidden army, after all, there are still a few people who have benefited from the eunuchs, and most of them are the people who have been enslaved by the eunuchs.

After shouting, Li Han ordered the siege of the city.

"Curtain attack begins".

The order was issued, and the first echelon of 300 Apocalypse five-year field guns opened fire first.

With the sound of cannonball, with the tongue of fire from the first artillery, the siege battle officially began.

Knock knock!

Rows of artillery roared in a trembling roar. It's like a sea of mountains. The flames flickered, thick smoke erupted, and a solid cannonball weighing twelve kilograms whistled in the direction of Yongdingmen.

Cannonballs smashed into the city walls like streamers, and in an instant the masonry cracked and the earth and rubble flew everywhere. The originally smooth city wall was suddenly hit with an irregular crater. The cannonball hit the female wall, cutting off more than half of the female wall in an instant, and the bricks and stones flew down into the city, and the Ming soldiers hiding below were suddenly in chaos.

"It's really a rebellion!" Li Jing hid behind the women's wall and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers go to the city to defend against the enemy!" ”

The order was given, and the Ming troops hiding under the city poured out one after another and rushed to the city wall defense.

The Ming army under the city did not know the situation in the city, and when they landed in the city, they were stunned

The firepower of the Eastern Army was even greater, and the explosion shook the sky in an instant. Smoke and smoke in the air. Liver. The echelon fired grenade shots, and the artillery companies then fired in unison, the sound was like ten thousand thunders, the mountains shook, and countless grenade shots were fired at the head of the city, and the dense steel balls shot like a sky net, which was difficult to dodge. The soldiers of the forbidden army, who had not experienced any war, were suddenly killed and wounded, and suffered heavy casualties. Soon the smoke dispersed for ten miles, and there was no distinction between the feet. But when I heard the shouts of the black-armored elite riders outside the city, it was like a bee making a noise. When it was young, the west wind suddenly rose, and the smoke rushed straight into the city, and the fire was fierce, and the red flames were in the sky. The Ming army in the city was shot one after another in the thick smoke, and the howls were heartbreaking, and they flew down the city like rain.

Li Jing is considered a soldier who has fought in the frontier, but he is also shocked by this overwhelming cannonball and steel balls. And most of the forbidden troops have not experienced the baptism of war, and under this kind of battle, they immediately scattered and fled for their lives, and there was still a way to fire back with artillery.

What made Li Jing most depressed was that the artillery of the Liaodong Army outside the city had not stopped, and after a while, solid shells hit, and the women's walls were shattered, and rubble flew. After a while, the grenade bomb hit, and the steel balls were dense like rain, and they would definitely be hit if they were slightly exposed. Minor injuries can lead to death on the spot.

Under such an intensive artillery offensive, how to organize a counterattack? Li Jing was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Soon. The artillery of the Liaodong Army smashed the front of the four-mile-wide defense of Yongding Gate into a mess, the city wall was covered with bruises, and most of the female wall was destroyed, and the Ming army could not fight back with the female wall at all, and even they could not hide behind.

Under the fierce artillery bombardment, the artillerymen of the third echelon pushed the artillery close to the east city wall of Yongding Gate, which was only 300 meters away, and the small pieces of rubble that fell from the city wall could even fly over and smash on the artillery with a clanging sound.

"Ready to fire!"

Knock knock!

The third echelon began to bombard the city wall, and the shells instantly shot into the city wall, and immediately exploded one crater after another. The hesitant third echelon was to concentrate the artillery at one point, and four rows of shells in turn hit the same wall.

Soon the craters in the walls were getting deeper and larger.

Perhaps the Ming army never thought that one day the city wall of the capital would be attacked by such fierce artillery fire, or perhaps because the outer city was not strong enough, in less than ten minutes, the city wall on the east side of Yongding Gate was blown down more than 50 meters wide.

The fall of the city walls brought considerable fear to the defenders. Once the soldiers who have been defending the city for a long time have no walls, their fighting spirit will be similar to that of the common people.

With a bang, Zhan Zengyong drew his war knife, and the blade pointed directly at the collapse of the city wall.

"Rush".

"Kill!!"

Eight thousand black-armored elite horsemen began to advance from five hundred meters away, and the tall Spanish war horses seemed to be here. It was very exciting, and at the 400-meter mark, it started to accelerate. Perhaps because they didn't feel heavy to be ridden by the Orientals, these Spanish horses became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye they reached the base of the city wall.

"Stop shelling!"

The artillery commander of the third echelon immediately gave the order to stop the shelling, and a handful of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Fucking damn dead! Do you need to run so fast? ”

The black-armored cavalry swarmed along the collapsed city wall, and the defending officers and soldiers who were about to plug the gap immediately turned around and fled in fright when they saw the black-armored cavalry galloping towards them. At such a close distance, the infantry will inevitably suffer when it encounters the cavalry, and the only way to find death when it encounters the heavily armored cavalry.

At this time, the shouting just now came into play. At first, the Ming army, who opposed the eunuchs in their hearts, just thought about it in their hearts and crooked the appearance of the fall of the eunuchs, but because they didn't know the strength of the Liaodong Army and didn't know if they could push it to the eunuchs, they were silent one by one. Now after seeing the strong strength of the Liaodong Army, they broke the city in less than ten minutes, and immediately no longer hesitated to turn against each other to deal with the eunuch minions they knew.

After the black-armored elite cavalry rushed in, in addition to killing the enemy who was resisting head-on, he continued to shout the slogan that those who surrendered should not die, and assisted in capturing the eunuchs with a heavy reward. In this way, the soldiers who were afraid of death in the defenders surrendered directly on their knees, and those who were bullied by the eunuchs took the initiative to help the Liaodong Army deal with the eunuch minions, and those who were a little ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the situation directly joined the flow of black-armored elite cavalry.

In the face of the rapid destruction of the city by the Liaodong army, the defenders suffered heavy casualties and internal strife, and the soldiers of the forbidden army, who were oppressed by their eunuchs on weekdays, began to vent their hatred and anger.

And he, the leader, is the focus of attention, and many soldiers who are eager to make merit have already set their eyes on Li Jing.

"Grown, go!"

The adjutant general forced back a few soldiers who tried to come up to arrest Li Jing and retreat to Li Jing's side.

"It's over! It's all over! Li Jing was in a trance and muttered: "The Liaodong Army is so powerful, nine thousand years old is powerless to turn it over!" ”

"Yato, go!" The adjutant general said: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!" ”

"It's useless! Let's go! Li Jing rejected the adjutant general's offer.

The adjutant general rolled his eyes and said, "Since the adults are not leaving, then I will borrow something from the adults!" ”

"What?"

"Lend your head for a while!"

"You"

Li Jing glared at the lieutenant general, and before he could speak, he felt a chill in his neck, and then his head was cut off by the lieutenant.

Thanks to the brothers for their support, as for whether to abduct Empress Zhang Yan and determine the life and death of Zhu Youxiao, everyone can express their opinions, and the cruiser will be arranged according to everyone's opinions and construction
