Chapter 295: Enter the city to save the people

"Report! General of the General Army, thousands of Ming troops came to the East Gate, and they threw an explosive, so that the general could not withstand it!"

That Yongning counselor sent someone to inform Fan Long and Fan Hu as soon as possible.

The two of them couldn't think of which army would come to help, but when they heard that there were not many people, they immediately regained their self-confidence.

"It's okay! Take the south gate and the north gate as soon as possible, and then cut off their back road from the north and south!"

"After the West Gate is taken, immediately go to the east of the city, so that the front and back are flanked, and you are not afraid of this Ming army!"

The battle at the east gate is unfavorable, so what are you worried about?

Anyway, his own strength is superior, and when he takes the south gate and the north gate, he will surround and attack from outside the city, and the east gate is not at his fingertips~

Just as they were concentrating on the battle in the city, on the Yangtze River, ten large ships crossed the east wharf of Chongqing and went directly to the west wharf.

Originally, the people who had boats in Chongqing saw that they couldn't go through the city gate, so they looked for boats and prepared to run away from the water gate and the wharf.

Fan Long and Fan Hu knew this very well, and they had already seen that the water gate and the east pier were blocked, so they were not worried about the threat on the water.

As a result, ten large ships went directly to the West Pier, which was further upstream.

The West Gate and the West Wharf have been occupied by the Yongning Tusi soldiers, and even if they are transferred to attack the East Gate, dozens of people are left to guard the West Wharf.

Seeing that ten ships were approaching, and that it was obvious that someone was in command, they immediately became alert, and set up their crossbows and prepared to intercept them.

On board was the main force of Zhao Hannian and the Hunhe Army.

When he saw the enemy, he gave the order: "Fire!"

"Boom, boom!"

The stubborn enemy forces on the docks were blown to pieces.

On these boats were the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers of the Hunhe Army, who had already aimed their guns at the enemy, and bombarded them with their cannons as they approached.

Some of the enemy troops still wanted to support, and they were driven away by artillery fire and routed.

Zhao Hannian led people to log in to the West Wharf, with 1,500 soldiers of the Hunhe Army, carrying sub-mother cannons, tiger squat cannons, Lumi guns, bird guns and enough ammunition to completely stabilize the wharf.

He directly ordered the ships not to stop, but to return down the river, ready to receive more soldiers, horses, ammunition, and supplies.

This kind of momentum of fighting against the odds boosted the morale of every soldier of the Hunhe Army.

The ships were supported by Wanxian, and they were very familiar with the waters of Chongqing, and immediately returned downstream to transport people and ammunition.

It's a waste to wait here.

Zhao Hannian is no longer the hot-headed military official he was half a year ago, but a general with a global mind.

After taking the dock, he barely gave the enemy time to react, and went straight to the west gate with all his guns.

The sub-mother cannon and the tiger squat cannon were placed on the front, and one fired directly at the other, so that the enemy had no power to fight back.

The chasseurs armed with Lu Mi guns were in front of the left and right, sniping the enemy leaders one by one, and in the time of two incense sticks, the enemy army suffered heavy casualties on the city gate tower and the west wall, and the rest were scattered and fled.

Zhao Hannian immediately led people to the west gate and the west wall, the guns were set up on it, and the spears were arrayed to protect the city gate hole.

The whole arrangement was as fast as lightning, and when Fan Hu personally led people to the dock and found that it was empty, and when he heard that there was an accident at the West Gate, everything was already under the control of the Hunhe Army.

Wang Hongyu and others were also on the way to come, and the Hunhe Army and the Shennong Army advanced by land and water, and arrived around Chongqing in the afternoon of the same day. ….

He immediately ordered the fleet to transport troops to support the west, and he led the troops to immediately hold a brief combat meeting.

At this time, the east gate and the west gate were in the hands of the vanguard of the Shennong and Hunhe armies, and the remaining soldiers and horses added up to 2,000 elites.

The Tuntian Army, which has the strength to fight, is still transporting supplies, and the Shizhu Tusi Army is still on the way.

If you don't have the advantage of troops, you will naturally have to surround three and lack one.

Wang Hongyu thought for a while, and ordered Zhang Mingshi, Qin Minping, Qin Ling, and Zhou Yijie: "Except for the east and west gates, the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow me to take the north gate and enter the city!"

In addition to this explicit order, additional instructions were conveyed to the commanders of all the battalions and battalions: "Let the officials live or die, and the people will do their best to save them."

!」

The order was directed down to the small flags of each team, and it was conveyed in a way that was not the original word, but was clearly focused on rescuing the people, and implied that some of the officials were not always credible in accepting bribes from extravagant families.

This is what Wang Hongyu, the original owner, as well as the accumulation of the eldest brother and second brother, knows directly, and the judgment is accurate.

At that time, when Wang Hongyu reported to Wanli, he also stated some of the details.

Coupled with a high degree of organization, Wang Hongyu's soldiers and horses could accurately understand and execute this order.

To the north of the city, a fierce attack, guns swept away the city gate tower and the north wall of the enemy army.

Directly using ladders, ziplines and three-person ladders, quickly climbed up the city wall, only a few remnants of Yongning tried to resist the Ming army with personal bravery, but were killed by crossbow arrows shot through the head at close range.

After the Ming army boarded the city wall, they immediately set up the Lumi guns and bird guns, and sniped the enemy troops in the city one by one from the city wall.

At this time, a civil official sent a scribe to ask for help, shouting at them, "The prefect needs support, save my lord first!"

Ming Junli ignored it, and directly observed it with a telescope on the city wall, and saw that there were not many people in the direction of the so-called prefect.

On the contrary, in the direction of the market on the other side, the people are being plundered by the Yongning soldiers.

"Send the order down, and the phalanx of spears will enter the city and advance towards the market!"

"Target Market! Help the people!"

Qin Minping decisively ordered the phalanx to advance, and the scribe had to block it, but Qin Minping pushed him on his heels, and he didn't know who made up for it.

After a while, the Ming army, with limited troops, rescued the people around the market.

On the contrary, the Yongning thieves saw that there were few soldiers and fat people on the prefect's side, so they killed the prefect and chopped it up.

Wang Hongyu saw it on the city wall and ordered Zhang Mingshi to fire at the prefect's corpse.

In the end, there was no corpse in the explosion.

"Yes, I can still tell the court that you sacrificed your ...... to cover the people."

Don't civil servants care about reputation?

That's good, let's kill yourself~

The spear phalanx of the Hunhe Army entered the city from the north gate, and the whole north and south streets were covered with a rapid southward advance in a running way.

When you enter the city, there is an intersection in front of you, the main street to the east is the prefect's street, and the next intersection is the vegetable market to the west.

Along the way, when they encountered people running, let them go, and directed them to take refuge in the direction of the north gate."

At this time, more than 3,000 Yongning Tusi soldiers came from the opposite side, as if the team had just gathered, rushed in a chaotic manner, and faced the spear phalanx of the Hunhe Army.

The thieves shouted, "The Ming army is all the same goods, and they have sent us equipment, and whoever kills the Ming army will have their weapons and armor." Kill!"

Yongning Tusi soldiers rushed forward with a shout, and dozens of steps away, they heard a burst of gunfire crackling, and a large number of Tusi soldiers fell.

A crying father shouted mother, ghosts cried wolf howls sounded.

Before I could react to what was going on, I heard a second shot.

It turned out that the Hunhe Army was shooting in great strides.

When the third shot passed, the enemy formation was disorganized.
