Chapter 378: Ascending Dragon Three

A torch lit up above the city gate, and Zheng Huaixing walked in with a torch.

I only felt that my feet were soft, and when he stepped on a soft thing, Zheng Huaixing lowered the torch down, looked at the ground, and gasped, because he found that the thing under his feet was a corpse.

In the entire city gate cave, layers of corpses were spread from the outermost to the innermost, layer after layer, and blood flowed out from the cracks under the city gate.

Zheng Huaixing had never seen such a scene in his life, he couldn't help but shake his hand, the torch fell off his hand and smashed on the corpse. He hurriedly picked up the torch and said to himself in his heart: "I am now the patriarch of the Zheng clan, and the net worth and life of thousands of people in the clan are all on me, and I can't even bear this." ”

He gritted his teeth and held a torch and led several people to walk on top of the corpse. Hurriedly came to the city gate.

The thick city gate was stuck with three long bolts, and there were three iron locks on it, which could not be opened for a while.

Shouts of killing spread from behind. Ruan Shien's men had already chased after him, and at this moment, the soldiers who were left outside by the Zheng clan were engaged in battle.

Zheng Huaixing shouted: "Come and cut the chains." He pulled out the long knife, and as soon as he chopped it down, there was a "clanging" sound, and the sound of the shock shook Zheng Huaixing's wrist. When I saw it again, the blade was twisted, and when I looked at the chain, there was only a trace of chopping. He knew immediately that this knife was not suitable for this.

When he looked back, he saw two men with tomahawks in their hands, and immediately wanted to come over, and slammed the axes over their heads and slashed them violently, causing sparks to fly in an instant. Zheng Huaixing shouted and slashed down again, this time harder.

There was a "bang", the first half of which was the sound of splitting chains, and the second half of which was the sound of an axe smashing on a wooden door. Zheng Huaixing finally split the chain with an axe.

Seeing that it worked, Zheng Huaixing made persistent efforts, but after a while, the three locks were split.

Several people rushed up and removed the deadbolt. Several people pushed the heavy wooden door together, and the wooden door creaked and was pushed open little by little.

No sooner had the door been pushed open than someone circled the doorway three times with torches. This is none other than Wu Fengyi.

Wu Fengyi has always been in the Zheng family's army. However, he always kept in mind the mission of the Zheng family and did not rush forward. And because of his special status, the Zheng family protected Wu Fengyi.

And at this moment, after Wu Fengyi gave the signal, she heard the earth-shattering shouts and rushed over.

Under the city wall outside Thang Long City, a few zhang away, a bonfire was lit, illuminating the entire city wall without any dead ends. But such a bonfire can't shine far.

Zhu Houhuang and his people have already arrived.

One by one, they were all hidden in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the campfire. Only the military discipline of the Yongjun army can perform such a task. They all crawled on the grass.

Zhu Houhuang too.

The weather in Annan was humid, and now it was summer, and the ground was even wetter, and Zhu Houhuang's whole clothes were wet. This is not counting some small insects and small animals, running around and causing a lot of trouble to Zhu Houhuang's side.

And at this moment, Zhu Houhuang saw Wu Fengyi's signal, and sighed in his heart: "Finally relieved." ”

"Kill," Zhu Houhuang, who saw the signal, jumped up and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the people behind him, and the soldiers behind him crossed Zhu Houhuang one after another and rushed forward.

Zhu Houhuang looked back and saw that it was none other than Li Liangqin.

Li Liangqin said: "Your Highness's daughter's body, bearing the weight of Yongguo and a country, such a scene, Your Highness should not join." ”

Zhu Houhuang knew that he Li Liangqin was loving him, so he could only sigh and say, "Okay, I'll wait for it again." ”

Li Liangqin said: "The last general will be the vanguard of His Highness and clean up the battlefield. ”

Li Liangqin immediately rushed over, and after a while, the city gate and holes were cleaned up, and two flags were hung at the east gate of Shenglong, one was the Ming Dynasty and the other was King Yong.

Only then did Zhu Houhuang walk towards the city in a crowd.

As soon as Zhu Houhuang entered the city gate, he saw corpses, extremely many corpses, all kinds of corpses were concentrated outside the city gate, inside the city gate hole, it was extremely cruel.

Zhu Houhuang endured it and didn't vomit.

Wu Fengyi immediately came to see Zhu Houhuang and introduced Zhu Houhuang: "This is Zheng Huaixing, the new patriarch of the Zheng family, this time he can get the Shenglong Mansion thanks to the power of the Zheng family. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Zheng's merits, Lone remembers, and when the situation settles down, Lone will naturally let Zheng get what he wants." ”

"Report, enemy reinforcements are coming."

Zhu Houhuang secretly said in his heart: "It's so fast." ”

At this moment, there are two large groups of reinforcements to this side, on one side is the group of people led by Ruan Shien under the city head, and then there are the reinforcements of Mo Dengying who hurriedly ran along the city wall from the south gate.

The soldiers under the head of the city, under the auspices of Li Liangqin and Yu Daxuan, played very well, and Ruan Shien was defeated and retreated. There are such reasons, firstly, Ruan Shien is just a eunuch, and in terms of intrigue and intrigue, there may be something true, but in terms of marching and fighting, it is like a mountain.

The original task of raiding the house turned into a head-on confrontation with the Ming army, and Ruan Shien naturally couldn't do it.

Moreover, the width of the streets at the city gate is very limited.

Such a width, even if there are many people, is not of much use. Therefore, after all, the army on that side is elite, and it has a huge advantage. At this point, the Yongjun army completely exploded the Annan army.

Naturally, it is easy to read.

Zhu Houhuang was surrounded by everyone, and went up to the city tower, on the city tower. Zhu Houhuang saw a long dragon composed of countless torches walking in from the city gate hole under his feet.

When he just won the door, in fact, there were not many soldiers who came in Zhu Houhuang, but only one or two thousand. It is also the limited force play of the streets in the city, which makes Zhu Houhuang's elite soldiers play a great role.

"Your Highness, look." Wu Fengyi pointed out to Zhu Houhuang: "The enemy's reinforcements are coming soon. Zhu Houhuang turned his head and felt that his heels were slightly shaking. If you look closely, you can see the scene of thousands of soldiers running wildly on the city wall.

Even if Thang Long is the capital of Annam, it is necessary to respect the reality that the whole area of East Asia is built using the plate construction method, and even if it is covered with bricks, it is just a wrap of the soil in the middle.

Can such a wall accept the running of thousands?

Zhu Houhuang just thought about it, he was more focused on how to destroy the enemy, and he suddenly found that the passage above the city wall was not wide. So my heart moved.

Zhu Houhuang immediately said: "Bring all the musketeers here." ”

"Yes."

The number of musketeers was not large in the Yongguo army, and the main reason was that Zhu Houhuang's requirements for muskets were too high. Only the craftsmen of the Jingshi can make what Zhu Houhuang wants. As a result, after one battle after another, the number of muskets left decreased dramatically, and many people were promoted to officers. All musketeers were Zhu Houhuang's close guards. Zhu Houhuang greeted, and they immediately sent several columns on the city wall.

The whole city can accommodate four horses galloping, and with ten people as a team, it is listed as ten teams. Zhu Houhuang watched from behind, his fingers kept gesturing, calculating the distance between the two sides.

He felt that the distance was enough, and shouted, "Fire." ”

With a "pop", the musket exploded, and ten rounds of musket volleys rang out, as if they were fried beans. After a while, the smoke filled the air, obscuring the view.

"Stop." Zhu Houhuang felt that the barrel of the musket was about to be unable to support it. Snap to a halt.

A gust of wind blew from the seashore and dispersed the smoke. When Zhu Houhuang saw the tragedy he had done, he couldn't believe his eyes, and said secretly: "Is this what I did?" ”

But I saw that on the city wall, more than ten meters away, it seemed to be cutting wheat, and I don't know how many people were lying here. It's like a river of blood.

The reason why the musket can exert such power is that the city wall artificially binds everything in a narrow firing range, and it is a little difficult to hit such a firing range.

Zhu Houhuang has always recognized the power of the musket, but the price is high, and Zhu Houhuang did not find a cheap and reliable musket to replace the current musket, Zhu Houhuang has to admit that such a musket is really not as good as the tiger squat gun.
