Chapter 285: Jiangning City is broken

"Rush up, don't retreat! Whoever dares to run away will be killed. www.biquge.info"Seeing that the soldiers already looked afraid, Liu Liuliu roared and stepped forward to kill a retreating soldier.

There are only a dozen artillery pieces on this city gate, which looks very lethal, but compared to the 130,000 army, it is not at all significant. Besides, this artillery is also troublesome to load, and it can also take the city with human lives.

Jiangning City must be captured, their 130,000 troops came across the river, if they can't even capture a small city in front of Jinling City, then what are they playing?

"Five thousand Ming troops, if you kill one person, I will reward ten taels of silver, and if you kill more than ten people, you will be promoted to one level. Qi Yanming also asked his subordinates to go up to attack, Liu Liu forced people forward with killing, and he lured them with profit.

"Let's go too, Li Heizi, are you sure to shoot the general who is defending the city?" Zhao Sui's man followed last, his status was the lowest among the three, and he was also the most low-key on weekdays. However, a big black man behind him was extremely conspicuous.

This big man is extremely tall, like a black tower, carrying a strong bow on his body, boasting a knife at his waist, tiger eyes are round, and his momentum is compelling.

"I'll try. Li Heizi's voice was like thunder, rumbling, and after saying that, he bent his bow and arrows, and a finger-thick Yanling arrow was placed on the bow.

His eyes narrowed slightly, locked on a person who looked like a military attache at the head of the city, as soon as his hand was released, the long arrow flew out, and in the next moment, the person's eye socket was shot, and the whole person fell on his back, and immediately died.

"Good archery. Zhao Sui's face showed joy, when he was in Yangjiaoshui Village, he was rescued by Li Heizi. This person was originally just a hunter in the village, but in the battlefield, he was extremely brave, and now he can really be called the number one fierce general under him.

The Lord will be slain, and there will be a panic above the city. But the artillery fire was not interrupted by this, and it was still like a monster devouring life, constantly harvesting life.

Human life is like a mustard, which is the best description of this time. Rows of rebels were killed by artillery fire, and the small head of the city seemed to be close to the end of the world, and it would never be able to cross it.

Liu Liu's body was trembling, although he firmly believed that 130,000 people could definitely take Jiangning. But that's not the problem, artillery fire can easily take human lives. His men did not see the slightest hope of survival, and if more than 10,000 people were killed or wounded during the siege, with the urine of his men, they would immediately have to flee.

"Let's get out of the army. Qi Yanming's face is also very ugly, there is such a thing as artillery, it is simply incomprehensible. No matter which famous general you have come over in the past, you will be crushed to death by this rumbling cannon. This is not a level of war at all, their flesh and blood, in front of artillery, is really small.

"Retreat...... Retreat?" Liu Liu hesitated, if they retreated, it would mean that they had given up the land south of the Yangtze River, after all, if they couldn't defeat Jiangning City today, could they be able to fight it tomorrow?

"It's better than throwing human lives here, as long as there are people, we haven't lost yet. Qi Yanming nodded towards Liu Liu and said in a deep voice.

His words also made Liu Liu feel reasonable. It's also said that if there are more casualties, he won't even have anyone in his hands, so it's still a fart.

Liu Liu gritted his teeth and was about to announce his retirement, when suddenly, there was a "boom", and a loud bang came from above the city tower, and the entire city wall collapsed in half, and dozens of people were blown up and flew out.

This frightened the rebels, and at first everyone thought that there was some new artillery coming out of the city, but after calming down, they found that it was a cannon on the head of the city that blew up, killing everyone in a radius of seven or eight feet.

"This ...... This ......" Liu Liu was stunned for a moment, but then it was as if he was hit by a great surprise, and the artillery exploded, causing the soldiers who were in charge of several other artillery pieces to also be killed, so that all the artillery was dumb.

"Hahaha, God help me, this is providence, come, rush up for me. The cannon blew itself up, which made Liu Liu extremely excited and immediately shouted. All the rebels were also in good spirits and rushed forward.

Jiangning County, which has only 5,000 people, without the help of artillery, where is the opponent of these rebels, it only takes half an hour to break through, the Ming army is killed, captured, and there is no way to fight back.

......

"Jiang Ning is broken. "In the evening, Jinling received news that Jiangning had fallen, and it was a matter of time before everyone expected it. But there is nothing anyone can do, they only have 50,000 horses in Jinling, if they go to rescue Jiangning, they will only beat the dogs with meat buns, and eventually cause Jinling's defensive strength to weaken.

Therefore, in the end, the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army only sent a few artillery pieces over, not intending to block the enemy's attack with Jiangning, but preparing to use these artillery pieces to consume the enemy's living forces.

Jiang Ning is lost, it is lost, and no one cares. But Jinling can not be lost, Jinling is not only the capital, but also the former imperial capital, is the Ming Dynasty's Longxing land, equivalent to the face of the imperial court, if Jinling is gone, even the emperor has to offend himself.

Although it was late at night, the lights in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army were still bright, Xu Li was wearing a bullfighting suit, and there were officials such as Tongzhi and other officials standing around him.

"Is there still no news from the capital?" Xu Li's face was very dark, civil officials have always abused power, but they didn't expect to be stabbing here at this time. He had reported to the imperial court a month earlier that Jinling might be attacked, but he had not replied so far.

"No, it may be that the weather is cold now, and the messenger is delayed on the road. "The governor is a weak old man with a goatee, not like he works in the military attache yamen.

"Don't say it's useless, I'm not a three-year-old, I don't need you to fool me here. Xu Li's tiger eyes glared, and the old man immediately didn't dare to speak.

It's been more than a month, and they have sent envoys back and forth several times to go north along the official road, even if the wind and snow are heavy, it should be there.

"Confucian scholars misled the country, and they found a few to kill them, without wronging them. In order to prevent our warriors from taking power, we don't even want our family and country. One of the conductors immediately slapped the table and shouted angrily.

The literati never believed in martial artists. Let's just say that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which used to be called the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, was later directly split and divided into the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the power was divided into five parts. That's not all, after the power was divided, the military department was also asked to come over and intervene to jointly govern the army. Later, the eunuch was not to be outdone, and had to grab the position of the prison army, so that an army was interfered by the three forces, and it was no wonder that it was not chaotic.

The civilian officials are eager to lead the troops are all civilians, and the warriors only need to be responsible for charging and killing in front. After so many years, the bones of many martial artists have been softened, and even they think that they are inferior.
