No matter how tightly defended the city tower is, under the cover and advance of the Ming army's home-made "tanks", the east city gate will be exposed to the Ming army without reservation.

The blasting was unstoppable, and for Gao Zhiping and the defenders, the fall of the East Gate was not a crime of war, but a result of weapons and ordnance.

If there is a corresponding firearm to defend the city, the east gate is undoubtedly unbreakable, but the defenders of the east gate only have bows and crossbows to block the enemy, and the four bed crossbows on the city tower are only intimidating for the Ming army that has captured the acropolis on both sides and the urn city in the middle, and it has no killing effect at all.

The bow and crossbow could not kill and injure the Ming soldiers who were hiding behind the "earthen tank", and the only ones that had a lethal effect on the Ming soldiers were the oldest rolling logs, stones and fire oil, but when these ancient weapons began to play a role, it showed that the Ming army had approached the city gate.

It can be said that none of the city gates approached by the Ming army could be defended, because the inexhaustible explosives could make any strong city gate fall apart.

Gao Zhiping died very unjustly, very suffocating, but also very peaceful, without the slightest pain, even when he did not feel the pain of casualties, a qiē was over, he died in the Ming army's blasting of the east city gate, a full five cars of explosives detonated in a row, the city gate and the city tower on the top completely collapsed, but even so, the city walls around the city tower are still towering, except for a few cracks, it can be said that the city wall is not moving, it can be seen that the city wall is solid.

In addition to the thousands of soldiers on the city wall, the most part of the Gao army was behind the city gate, and when the city tower collapsed, the soldiers of the Gao army behind the city gate suddenly lost their command due to the death of Gao Zhiping. In the face of the three-way assault of the Ming army, he could only choose to retreat.

Tens of thousands of routs retreated towards the center of the city, and the three of Bailiyi led the Ming army to follow.

In this case. Victory is sealed, but the hiccups are still evocative.

Because there is a store of Yang Ting's style department in the center of the city, the Yang Ting-style department can still hold on to Gao Zhengli's army, but if the army on the east gate comes from behind, this will disrupt Yang Ting's deployment.

At this time, Gao Zhengli had already transferred the standing shield and was preparing to use the standing shield as a cover to let the bow and crossbow array approach the enemy. Carry out shooting.

No, the battlefield situation appeared in favor of Gao's army, and the East Gate rout invisibly formed a flanking attack on Yang Ting's army. What was even more unexpected was that the rout soldiers did not care about the fire of the muskets at all, and rushed towards Yang Ting's troops without their lives.

In fact, the rout is also very helpless, and there are chasing soldiers behind. I had to flee to the city. In the eyes of the rout, compared with the hundreds of people in Yang Ting's style, the Ming army chasing behind was even more fatal, so helpless things inevitably happened.

This scene invisibly gave Gao Zhengli a live demonstration, that is, the Ming army's muskets could not stop the charge of the army.

Gao Zhengli reacted immediately. Ordered to use the shield as a cover, and the whole army assaulted the Ming army.

Yang Tingshi wanted to cry without tears at this time. He could only order a retreat to the south gate, but at this time, it was not easy to retreat.

The east and west sides were attacked, and Yang Ting's style was like a meat filling sandwiched in the middle, which was in danger.

The reality is so helpless, the victory of the Ming army is already an ironclad thing, but the Yang Ting-style department, which has made great achievements in breaking the city, has suffered a catastrophe, obviously a hundred miles away from the righteous department, but it is separated by more than 10,000 troops from the east gate, and it cannot be rescued in time.

The center of Tengchong City has been crowded to the brim, with nearly 50,000 people rushing in one direction from three sides, and Yang Ting's 800 people are at this central point.

Musket shooting was already of no avail, ten shots were killed, and a hundred people came up.

Yang Tingshi saw that the situation was not good, so he could only fight against the water.

He knew that in this case, defending on both sides would definitely be a dead end, and only by concentrating on breaking through in one direction might there be survival.

But in which direction to break through, under normal circumstances, it must be to break through to the east gate, because after the rout, there are friendly forces, and the possibility of breaking through is naturally greater.

However, Yang Tingshi chose to break through in the opposite direction, and the goal was high.

Maniacs generally have the logic of fools themselves, and in Yang Tingshi's view, the rout is disorderly, and they do not charge because someone commands them, but simply to flee for their lives.

Since they can attack their own positions, they will also disrupt the array of Gao Zhengli's army.

As long as you break through in the direction of the rout, then it will be Gao Zhengli's army who will suffer from the chaos.

On the contrary, if you break through to the east gate, even if you don't have to worry about the rout, the damage caused to you by the crossbowmen of the Gao Zhengli army behind you is far greater than the assault on Gao Zhengli's army.

Defending the front and defending the back are completely different, and the back of a person has no eyes.

Therefore, Yang Tingshi categorically decided to make a reverse breakthrough to the Gao Zhengli Department.

Just when the rout rushed ten zhang away in front of them, the 800 Ming troops quickly got up from the "improvised fortifications", abandoned the muskets in their hands, unloaded their military thorns, and threw four consecutive rounds of grenades at the sword and shield soldiers approaching by Gao Zhengli's department with only hand grenades.

At this time, the rout was already close to the distance of three zhang, and under Yang Tingshi's order, all the soldiers charged towards Gao Zhengli's department together.

The four-wheeled grenades did little damage to the enemy behind the opposing shields, but their effect was obvious, and the dust stirred up by the explosion concealed the intention of the Ming army to suddenly charge at them, and for the eight hundred Ming soldiers in the charge, they undoubtedly dodged the fire of the crossbowmen of the Gao army.

And when Gao Zhengli found that the Ming army was rushing towards him, the Ming soldiers were already entangled with their sword and shield soldiers, and at this time, even if they wanted to shoot arrows, it was too late.

At this time, the soldiers of the Gao Army who held the standing shield found that the standing shield could not protect their lives, but became their life talisman.

The soldiers with one left hand or right hand in the standing shield hoop could not resist the military spurs stabbed by the Ming soldiers, and could only watch as the military spurs submerged into their bodies, and then took away a long stream of their own blood.

The soldiers of the Ming army only assassinated the shield soldiers in front of them, and as soon as they were stabbed, they immediately rushed forward, leaving a large number of shield soldiers to the trailing East Gate rout.

The rout is called a rout because they are no longer soldiers at this time, and there is no distinction between friend and foe in their eyes, only life and death.

Whoever stands in his way is the enemy, even if the first few routs can distinguish that the front is their own people and want to avoid it, but they are immediately hit by the routs behind, and often fall down and trample to death.

The scene was completely chaotic, and Gao Zhengli was annoyed when he saw the Ming army coming from his shield array.

If the Ming army was allowed to pass through the shield array like this, the crossbowmen in front of him would not be able to stop them from approaching him, and the thunderous firearms of the Ming army made Gao Zhengli extremely frightened. (To be continued......)
