Thundered!!!

Listening to the violent explosion sound coming from the far gate, and feeling the violent ground shaking under his feet, Nikan was almost knocked to the ground by surprise, but fortunately, the coat leader beside him was quick and helped him in time, so as to prevent Nikan from falling to the ground.

"What's going on?!"

Nikan, who was still in the city, shouted outside, although he didn't know what was going on outside, but judging from the direction of the explosion, and the violent tremors...... Nikan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

With a shout, Nikan strode out of his abode, looking at the smoke and dust in the direction of the far gate, and the sky was still falling with debris mixed with a little bright red liquid, and the stumps of human limbs were also thrown into the sky, falling like raindrops.

Some of the broken earth fell on Nikan's body, he stretched out his hand in confusion, the stars and blood in the sky fell on his hand, it looked particularly hideous, not far in front of him, a tattered intestine was thrown on the body of a coated aha, who was suddenly startled, let out a terrible scream, and hurriedly threw the intestines on the ground, his lips trembling, obviously frightened.

A moment later, a Manchurian soldier strode in, and he knelt down in front of Nikan, with a frightened look on his face, and shouted, "Lord Wang, the Lanyuan Gate has been blown up! Everyone is dead, not even General Annan's bones are gone!"

"What?"

Nikan was struck in the heart by this bad news, his body was shocked, and he was almost about to faint, and he didn't have time to think about how the Ming army managed to blow up the Lanyuan Gate, he held his will and shouted loudly:

"Quick, mobilize the soldiers and horses of all gates of the North City to gallop to the far gate, and be sure to block the pace of the Ming army entering the city!"

"It's too late!" The soldier wept and said, "The Ming army has launched an attack on all fronts, and all gates have been attacked, and Lord Gushan Ezhen Niman has dispatched the reserves of the northern city to rush to Lanyuan Gate, and he has ordered his servants to report this matter to you, please send reinforcements!"

"How can this be......

Nikan swallowed his saliva, but still forcibly stabilized his emotions, sent the full army away, and then mobilized the soldiers and horses in the city to gallop out of the south smoke gate to help the north city.

Let's not talk about the response of the Qing army in the city for the time being.

Outside the city, after blowing the horn of attack, the Ming army began to attack the city under the cover of artillery fire, countless shield vehicles, ladders, battering rams and siege towers were pushed to the city wall by the auxiliaries, and the rest of the Qing army reacted quickly after being frightened by the explosion, and hurriedly poured firepower on the Ming army to block the Ming army's attack.

And at Lanyuan Gate, with the bombed city wall as the center, the defenders within a radius of several hundred meters were shattered by the shock wave, and the seven holes were bleeding, so this area almost became a no-man's land, and the Ming army was able to drive straight in, and the line infantry rushed into the city with bayonets along the gap, and they were not distracted by the corpses everywhere.

After occupying the Lanyuan Gate, the Ming army continued to advance all the way to the city, all the way to the Daichen Gate, intending to cooperate with the Ma Xin Department outside the city to attack the city to take the gate.

Soon after the Ming army entered the city, the Qing army reserves that came to the aid exchanged hands with the Ming army at the front, and Gushan Ezhenni was full of soldiers and charged towards the Ming army, but he was greeted by an oncoming rain of bullets fired by the Ming army - the line infantry quickly lined up in several rows on the street, and fired multiple volleys at the Qing army on the opposite side.

Even if Niman and his Manchurian soldiers were wearing three layers of heavy armor, it was difficult to prevent the projectiles fired by the smoothbore gun, and Niman, who rushed to the front, was shot several times and killed on the spot, and the Manchurian soldiers who charged with him were also killed one after another, and the streets were covered with the corpses of the Qing soldiers in an instant.

Seeing that the brave and warlike Niman and the Manchurian soldiers died so simply, the armor and green battalion soldiers behind them were suddenly frightened and had no will to fight, and then they collapsed under the attack of the line infantry and fled in a hurry.

In the street battle, the flintlock smoothbore guns equipped by the Qinglong Left Brigade were almost gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas, and all the Qing troops in front of them were sent away by volleys, even if the Qing army returned fire with bows and arrows and birds, they were not their opponents.

Even if it is not an opponent, there are still many Qing soldiers who resist stubbornly.

A family of three people in Beicheng entered the courtyard of the house, three Manchurians

The soldiers took a few armor and green battalion soldiers to defend the wall, and they moved the tables and chairs in the people's homes to the back of the courtyard wall, and stood on them to shoot at the Ming army outside.

One of the companies of the line infantry, which had been advancing in order to capture the northern city as quickly as possible, was blocked out, and they were suddenly ambushed by the Qing army on the march, and several people were immediately killed by arrows and birds.

The rest of the people hurriedly dispersed, overturned the wooden tables of the abandoned vendors on the roadside, hid behind the wooden tables and fired back, or kicked open the doors of the roadside buildings and rushed in to avoid the shooting of the Qing army.

Bang bang bang –

The line infantry who had entered a state of readiness immediately fired a volley at the wall where the Qing army was located, and the projectiles fired knocked the wall into a cloud of rubble, and one of the green battalion bird gunners could not dodge and was shot on the spot.

Seeing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but be a little frightened, but they still had the courage to poke their heads out and shoot at the Ming troops outside the wall amid the angry scolding of the Manchurian soldiers.

Whoosh –

An arrow flew past the face of the company commander Wang Qi and shot into the blue brick ground behind him, Wang Qi quickly retracted his head, he looked at the arrow whose tail was still trembling, and his heart was full of happiness that he had escaped.

"My lord, we can't be stopped here, we must deal with the Qing soldiers in that courtyard as soon as possible." His deputy company commander said at this time.

As they spoke, the two of them looked at the shivering civilians hiding in the room, who saw them suddenly break into their house and thought they were going to commit violence, but the Ming army actually ignored them.

Wang Qi pondered for a moment and said, "You personally lead a sentry to rush under the wall, and I will organize soldiers to cover with fire." jj.br>

"Why?"

The deputy company commander answered, and then shouted to the soldiers in the room, and the soldiers raised their rifles one after another and made a gesture of eagerness.

"Suppress fire, take turns shooting, cover the robe attack!"

Wang Qi shouted an order to the soldiers under his command, took the lead in raising his rifle, and shot at the wall, and the soldiers on the street also opened fire, and the sound of gunfire on the street shook the sky for a while.

The deputy company commander took the opportunity to rush out of the house with a sentry force, and took the lead in rushing to the bottom of the wall when the Qing soldiers were suppressed by the fire and could not raise their heads.

After rushing to the wall, the deputy company commander glanced at the subordinates who ran with him, pointed to the closed gate, and said, "Smash open the gate!"

As soon as his words fell, several soldiers stepped forward to smash and kick with the butts of their guns, and the sound they made by slamming the door was quickly discovered by the Qing soldiers inside.

Taking advantage of the loading of the Ming army outside, a Manchurian soldier led by him ventured out of half of his body, put a bow and arrows under the wall, and wanted to shoot, but how could the deputy company commander be defenseless, he and the soldiers who did not smash the door were on high alert, and the Manchurian soldier was found as soon as he leaned out, and the deputy company commander raised his hand and shot him, and the former was shot and died, and immediately fell down.
