For siege warfare in feudal times, the loss of the city walls meant the failure of the defense. The defending side will quickly lose command and organization, and street fighting and the like are rare. Therefore, when Zhou Qingfeng smashed open the city gate, the personnel of the 'Beijing-Tianjin Front' rushed in, and the Ming army defending the city suddenly broke and fled, and was no longer able to resist.

Coming in from the east gate of the town, Zhou Qingfeng was also in high spirits. The city of Tianjin is more important than any other city in eastern Liaoning. It is a rare strategic city with prosperous business, convenient transportation, large population and thriving culture.

Tianjin city is a cross layout, and the east gate of the town is the East Street. To the north is the Temple of Literature, and to the south is the Residents' Hutong. Walking along the main street is the Drum Tower in the center of the city. It is convenient to go anywhere in the city from the drum tower.

Being able to win the city in just two days was also greatly unexpected by Zhou Qingfeng. But who let Daming toss around blindly? In order to fight Liaodong and not recruit troops in Liaodong, he even gathered troops from all over the country. Those brainless court officials do this kind of bastard thing, and the interior defense is empty, so don't blame Zhou Qingfeng for picking up the cheap.

"This is Tianjin. Controlling this place is equivalent to asking for half a life for the Ming Dynasty. As long as I cut off the Cao Yun, the emperor of the capital, Lao Er, will have to kneel down for Lao Tzu. "Zhou Qingfeng put away the 'road rage', and when he turned around, he saw the guards rushing in in disorderly. He immediately called several commanders and asked the team to control the key points of the city.

"Ye Na, let the guards give the order. Take the drum tower first, and then take control of the other three city gates. The militia and migrant workers were all transferred in to block the streets, and the whole city was under martial law during the extraordinary period. The people of the Ministry of Security and the Commerce and Trade Section quickly followed up to control the remnants of the Ming army and bring out the local tyrants and gentry in the city and execute them. Such a big city will not be honest without cutting off a thousand heads. ”

Zhou Qingfeng said that the murderous spirit was majestic and majestic. Ye Na, who was following him, immediately took the commander and his own army to lead the order. It's just that before Ye Na turned around, he shouted to the big ocean horse: "Ye Na, you have performed very well recently, and you have proven your ability and loyalty. ”

Ye Na was stunned for a moment, Zhou Qingfeng had already reached out to touch the position of her neck, and withdrew the vein amputation technique that controlled her True Yuan Root Bone. He continued: "The Ministry of Security has taken your family out of the capital, and from now on you are free, no longer a slave to anyone, an officer of the 'Revolutionary Army' Guard. I hope you stay. ”

"Time is tight in this war, but you talk a lot of nonsense. Of course I continued to stay. Ye Na said flatly, as if there was no need to say much about this matter, and blamed Zhou Qingfeng for being worried that she would leave. She quickly turned around and shouted to the pro-army soldiers to assign tasks. However, when she avoided Zhou Qingfeng's sight, tears couldn't help but fall.

Since she was sensible, she has been repeatedly instilled with the concept of serving her superiors. She was also mentally prepared to be a slave for the rest of her life, because everyone around her was like that. The happiest thing for every family is that the children of a family can be appreciated by high-ranking officials and dignitaries through personal attachment, and from then on they will get ahead and rise to the top.

This is true for men, and even more so for women

But now it's different.

"From now on, I rely on my own ability to survive."

Ye Na raised her big sword with one hand, tears in the corners of her eyes but her face was uplifted. Her virtual wings vibrated rapidly, and she flew up several meters high and shouted to Zhou Qingfeng's pro-army: "Follow me and take down the drum tower in front." ”

The pro-army cavalry company raised its sabre like a forest and followed the flying Valkyrie forward to kill. This group of people can be described as a spiritual outburst, and under the leadership of Ye Na, it is like entering a no-man's land. However, as they approached the Drum Tower, a group of heavily armored spearmen suddenly turned out at the intersection in front of them. There were about two or three hundred in number, and a horizontal line crowded the road, and the army was strengthened and the pace was firm.

Ye Na's heart was high, and she felt that she was about to break through the extreme of the eighth to ninth layers of her muscles and bones. Even if there is a wall in front of her, she dares to hit it headlong. In the face of the gun, she is really so tough.

The Great Yanma is also linked to the military formation, and the more than 100 pro-army cavalry behind him are the strongest and best soldiers of the Guard. Everyone worked together to assist Ye Na with all their might, allowing her to rush forward like a seraphic angel wielding a flaming sword.

The sudden appearance of this group of heavily armored spearmen was also deeply surprised. They were already responsible for breaking the formation, and their frontal attack power was the most powerful. After entering the city, the generals above ordered them to push forward. Hearing that the thieves were in the east, they also went to the Drum Tower first and turned to the East Street. As a result, he turned around and saw a group of fierce cavalry coming from the opposite side.

In a head-to-head duel, the spearmen were not afraid of cavalry at all.

But the fact that there was a tall woman in front of the cavalry who could fly surprised the heavily armored spearmen. In the middle of a breath, the two sides collided together. The spearmen defended, rows of white-armed spears raised forward and upwards like hedgehogs, waiting for the greatsword-wielding Valkyrie to collide.

And as soon as Ye Na drank coquettishly, she wanted to repay Zhou Qingfeng with her own struggle. The two-handed greatsword swung out a blade several meters long, slashing horizontally in one go. With a crackle, he split a dozen spears on the opposite side, followed the advance of the blade and broke through the defense of the opponent's formation, cut a blood line in the spearmen's column, and killed five or six people on the spot.

After this blow, Ye Na quickly flapped her wings and climbed, not continuing to crash into the enemy's gunfire. Instead, she flew to the rear of the opponent's gun array and waited for an opportunity to attack. As a result, the opponent reacted quickly, and the rear team immediately reversed, never discouraged by the frustration just now, and continued to aim at Ye Na with a dense gun.

Ye Naman thought that he could sweep a large area with this full blow, but he didn't expect that the tenacity of this group of heavy spearmen was not inferior to the spear infantry of the Guards, and even surpassed. She immediately realized one thing - the opponent had changed, and this was by no means the Ming army that had been driven away by the guards before.

In fact, the heavy spearmen were even more surprised. They came from far away Sichuan, and traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, where they had never heard of it, to kill the Tartars, and when they arrived in Liaodong, they said that they were going to kill the rebels. Finally, he was about to set off for war, but he learned that the thieves had attacked Tianjin by sea. These spearmen, who had never seen the sea, could only turn around and return to help, and finally arrived in Tianjin, and finally started the ...... war.

Hit headfirst under the two-handed greatsword of the Guard's number one general.

This gang of thieves is so powerful?

A woman who was not only tall but also able to fly, and when she broke through the formation, she hacked and killed several of her own soldiers. The generals of the Ming army who commanded this heavy armor spearmen were shocked. Especially when Ye Na flew to the back of the formation, he didn't dare to advance in chaos, so he could only line up on the spot and wait for help.

The heavily armored spearmen stood still, but the Ming troops who turned from the north of the drum tower continued one after another. Ye Na hurriedly flapped her wings and flew away. She ordered the pro-army cavalry company that followed, except for a few people to be left to monitor it head-on, and the rest immediately dispersed into cavalry squads and entered the streets and alleys around Dongdajie, demanding that they immediately find out how this group of enemies came out.

Zhou Qingfeng was thinking about how to attack from all sides with Tianjin as a base at the east gate of the town and give the crumbling Ming a blow. He only had to wait for the war to cease and the great city had been taken. Unexpectedly, Ye Na flew back with a sudden breath to report that there was a Ming army with strong combat power advancing.

"They wear iron armor and a layer of cotton armor on the outside. It's not as good as our metal cuirass, but it's something we've never seen before. They wield long lances with white poles, were very tightly formed, and were unfazed and disregarded for life and death. This is also very different from the usual Ming army. There were still a lot of them, three hundred of them I had met, and there were many more. ”

Ye Na poured a basin of cold water on Zhou Qingfeng at a very fast speed. The situation of the battle had changed, and he immediately ordered: "The triplane is still outside the city, and it is too late to collect it." Ye Na, you ride the 'dog meat' to collect it, and fly the plane to explore the whole city.

Qiao Xuenian, you organize the staff officers of the front army headquarters to control those militia and migrant workers, and immediately start to demolish houses and build barricades in the east of the city. At the same time, the combat sappers were asked to lay pull-out mines at the junction to prevent the enemy from continuing to approach. Chai Jie, transfer your female soldiers immediately, the enemy is likely to attack along East Street after regrouping, and line up to beat them with muskets.

Tall bull, you lead the spear infantry into the alleys, garrison the barricades, and prevent the enemy from approaching us. Han Shi, you gather the cavalry and go out of the city to reconnoiter and prevent the enemy from outflanking our rear road. We were careless this time, and we didn't pay attention to whether there were other Ming troops approaching around Tianjin. This group of Ming troops is likely to have just arrived. ”

Zhou Qingfeng's order had just been issued, and the group of heavily armored spearmen on the opposite side were really not afraid of death and advanced along the street. They are not fast but very steady, and they have always maintained a tight formation. Zhou Qingfeng didn't even use binoculars, just glanced at the unique clothes and headdresses of those spearmen from a distance, and then scolded: ", it's a toast white pole soldier from Sichuan." How could these guys be in Tianjin? ”

The army of the Ming Dynasty is rotten, and the strongest combat power is actually the Tusi wolf soldiers who came out of the poor mountains and bad waters. These wolf soldiers are similar to the construction of slaves, and they are also the social structure of slavery. Its low-level soldiers live by fighting, with a savage temperament and extremely poor military discipline, but they dare to fight and are not afraid of death.

The appearance of this group of white pole soldiers indicates that the battle in Tianjin is not over, and Zhou Qingfeng must be ready for battle. He watched the opponent's gun array slowly advance, and called the people from the artillery company to ask, "Can the ballista still be used?" ”

The artillery officer was also anxious, and shook his head sweatily and said: "My lord, the last two ballistas are also broken, and the tendons that act as torsion springs have all lost their elasticity, and we are installing spare tendons, which will take time." ”

"Are there any more shells left?"

"There are still shells, and we have shipped 2,000 rounds this time. More than a thousand rounds were thrown yesterday, and now there are quite a few left. ”

"Go and bring the shells."

The artillerymen turned around and went out of the city to carry the shells, but the heavily armored white-pole gunners on the opposite side would not stop. They had slowly advanced to a position less than a hundred meters away from Zhou Qingfeng. In the face of these fierce enemies, the militia and migrant workers who were tearing down houses and building barricades looked very uneasy—until a group of female firecrackers arrived to set it up.

"Line up."

Zhou Qingfeng personally served as the commander of the firecracker, standing directly at the front of the team. Due to the limited width of East Main Street, the number of horizontal platoon troops that can be accommodated is even more limited. In addition, the queue of firecrackers needs to leave a rotation channel, which makes the formation of the firecracker female soldiers very sparse, with only fifteen people in one row, but the queue at the back is more than a dozen rows.

Zhou Qingfeng held a flintlock pistol in his hand, which Ye Na often carried. It's just that the Yanma rarely has the opportunity to use it, and Zhou Qingfeng happened to borrow a full set of equipment. Faced with the slowly advancing white pole soldiers, he reloaded as slowly and methodically as the other female soldiers.

After completing the preparations, many female soldiers looked at Zhou Qingfeng curiously, wondering why there was no arquebus in the handsome hand. Waiting for the enemy to enter within twenty meters, the two sides are about to engage in close combat. Zhou Qingfeng was still in the mood to laugh with the female soldiers in line: "Do you want to make a bet?" I shoot fast and accurately, to ensure that the first shot hits the soul and the bullet is not missed. ”
