Chapter 348: Military Heart, People's Heart, Willpower

"Fire..."

Knock knock...

"Quick, fight back for Lao Tzu..."

Bang bang bang ...

The smoke of gunpowder at Dasheng Pass did not disperse from early morning to evening, and the scrapped artillery and muskets were discarded at will, and the two sides even engaged in several white-knuckle battles on the gate.

Yang Qi's face was pale, and next to him stood Wang Jiayin, who was wrapped in bandages.

Yang Qi squinted at Wang Jiayin and said leisurely: "General Wang, is it feasible?" ”

Wang Jiayin is an old peasant in northern Shaanxi, if it weren't for the persecution of the county officials, he would not have rebelled and become a rogue, and now he has become a dignified Shaanxi general soldier after accepting Zhao'an, wearing an official body and eating imperial grain, but he still can't change the peasant's soil bun spirit.

"It's okay, just a big victory, Yang Dashuai just looked at it, but after breaking the pass, the property of this pass has to be raised by Yang Dashuai."

Yang Qi sneered in his heart, but his face was expressionless: "As long as General Wang can break through the Great Victory Pass, this commander will definitely not stop you from acting." ”

Wang Jiayin previously disrupted Yang Qi's deployment, originally Mao Shi surrendered to the pass was in the plan, even if Mao Shi was a fraudulent surrender, Yang Qi could also take advantage of the chaos to lead his troops to attack the victory pass, who knew that Wang Jiayin's troops on the left flank rushed into the pass when Mao Shi switched, so that Yang Qi, as the main force, was blocked outside.

If it weren't for Yang Qi ordering artillery cover, otherwise Wang Jiayin, who entered the city, would have been left in the city by Mao Shi.

The firearms of both sides have flintlock pistols and Shenwu cannons exported from Songjiang, but the Shenwu cannons exported are not more advanced than the original, that is, the old-fashioned general's cannons in terms of distance and power.

Even so, the artillery battle between the two sides was still extremely fierce, and Wang Jiayin, who was accustomed to white-knuckle fighting, even suppressed the southern army defending the city.

Mao Shi's face was not easy, although reinforcements and supplies came from Nanjing, but the city wall before the victory pass was broken by them once, although it was repaired, but the strength was not as good as before.

Luo Rucai's eyes lit up, because he clearly saw the rammed earth layer exposed on the city wall of the western section of the Great Victory: "Go and tell Zijin Liang... No, tell Vice General Wang, just say that the big victory in the Kansai section can be broken. ”

Without waiting for Luo Rucai's personal soldiers to find Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang in the distance also saw the rammed earth layer, so he went to find Wang Jiayin, the direct leader, and asked the artillery to concentrate on attacking the city wall of the western section of the Great Victory.

Wang Jiayin had just arrived from Yang Qi's side, and when he heard that the rammed earth layer was shot out by artillery, he was overjoyed, and immediately asked Wang, who was in charge of artillery, to use it to support.

"General, the big thing is not good, the western section, the city wall over there in the western section is about to be unable to hold on."

Before Mao Shi could hear what the herald was saying, a violent shaking appeared in the sound of artillery, and then he clearly saw the dust rising from the west side of the city.

"Go and see what's going on."

"The Northern Army has gone to the city..."

"Quick, stop them..."

"The walls are falling... collapsed..."

Mao Shi saw the rout coming towards him, so he ruthlessly let the overseer team go forward, more than 300 musketeers in front, and a thousand-household official scolded the fleeing defenders but to no avail.

"Put..."

Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ...

The continuous gunfire knocked the fleeing defenders to a single layer, which stopped the rout from fleeing.

Mao Shi took out his long knife and said: "Order, the right battalion immediately reinforces the city, and concentrate all the tiger squat cannons to come to the gap in the city wall." ”

The melee tiger squat cannon is a sharp weapon, and this tactic was learned from the Liang Domain.

"Kill..."

"Grab the big win..."

"Rush..."

As the commander of the right-wing battalion, Gao Yingxiang took advantage of the time difference between Luo Rucai and them, and led more than 5,000 people under his command to rush towards the eastern section of the city wall.

"Is Gao Chuang crazy?"

Wang Ziyong had a headache, but thinking that Gao Yingxiang was his confidant, he would definitely not act recklessly, so he didn't give an order to stop him.

The western section of the city wall was broken, but it was the easiest place to breach, and then Gao Yingxiang, as the king's own henchman, had already seen that the western section of the city wall would be the most difficult place to fight, so he turned the gun and went towards the eastern section of the city wall intact, although it was a waste of time, but Gao Yingxiang believed that this side would be the first place to be breached.

"Kill..."

"Tiger squat cannon ignition..."

"Fire..."

With the sound of violent explosions, more than a dozen tiger squat cannons sprayed countless small lead bullets at the gap, spraying towards those Qin troops whose eyes were glowing with blazing light.

Suddenly the sky was filled with blood and mist, and wails were everywhere.

Luo Rucai was shocked, if it weren't for the fact that he was the main general who was wrapped in the middle of the team, otherwise there would definitely be his number one position among the scattered corpses in front of the city at this moment.

"Withdraw... Withdraw..."

"What is Luo Rucai doing?"

Wang Jiayin shouted loudly, because he saw the people and horses on the side of the western section of the Guancheng who were retreating like a tide.

"Siege..."

Gao Yingxiang shouted, and his general Ma Guangyu immediately rushed forward with two thousand people carrying ladders.

Gao Yingxiang suffered a big loss under the firearms of the imperial court officials and soldiers, and after a group of heavenly businessmen sold them a lot of advanced firearms for free, Gao Yingxiang was the general who paid the most attention to firearms in Wang Jiayin's camp.

"Raise your gun..."

"Put..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The two sides engaged in fierce musket fire under the castle, and surprisingly, both groups used flintlock muskets.

Gao Yingxiang fully searched for a means to restrain the flintlock pistol in several battles, and finally let him study the idea of a large shield wrapped in iron.

"The enemy army has gone up to the city..."

In the western section of the city wall, Mao Shi was directing the battle, and he had lost count of how many times he had beaten out the Qin troops who tried to rush in, but at this moment, a shout of 'the enemy army has entered the city' entered his ears.

In the distance, Yang Qi put down the clairvoyant mirror, then looked at the general beside him, and sneered: "This gang of Diao people really has the means. ”

Many generals from the official army led by Yang Qi looked down on Wang Jiayin's subordinates, and called them 'Diao Min' or 'thief army' in private, of course, although Wang Jiayin knew something, he didn't care, after all, he was also an official.

And Yang Qi and these people are also more taboo against Wang Jiayin, just because this gang of thieves has been the main force all the way, and Yang He also comforted him after recruiting An, so he was worried that these people would go out again.

Wang Jiayin couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Gao Yingxiang's side had actually attacked the eastern section of the Guancheng, and immediately ordered Wang to use reinforcements to reinforce Gao Yingxiang, and then use artillery to suppress the damaged Guancheng in the western section.

Accompanied by a scream that shook the sky, Yang Qi snorted, and then glanced back at the generals: "Interesting, come here, report to the Inspector, the forward army has broken through the Great Victory Pass, please supervise the Chinese army to move the camp." ”

"Yes..."

"Dashuai, shall we go in too?"

Facing the deputy general's inquiry, Yang Qi shook his head with a cold face: "The superintendent has given them benefits, and it is their battle merit to break through the big victory pass, don't rob it, otherwise these people will not reason with you, let them rob it, and let's go in after an hour." ”

.

Song Che didn't dare to slack off, because a steady stream of defeated soldiers was pouring towards Fengtai Gate.

"Mao Shi failed?"

Li Wanchang, who rushed over, was a little frightened, but then returned to normal, the fall of Jiangbei meant that the defense of Nanjing had begun, and the loss of the Great Victory Pass was the last barrier of Nanjing.

"General Song..."

Song Che clenched his fist towards Li Wanchang when he heard the voice: "Chang Guogong, is there a good plan?" ”

Song Che is only responsible for defending the city, and he is the army of the Liang Domain, if there is something discordant, he can turn around and run away.

Li Wanchang, as the commander of Nanjing, can't show a trace of fear at this moment, otherwise the army's morale will not be guaranteed: "The city is full of 170,000 defenders, as long as there is no accident, even Yang He's whole army will be pressed, and it will not be able to break through Nanjing City, besides, we still have more than 100 artillery pieces and a large number of muskets supported by King Liang;

Most of the Qin army were rogue recruits, and they couldn't stand the big casualties;

Fengtaimen also asked General Song to guard it, and Andemen was handed over to Ben Shuai. ”

Song Che hugged his fists again, and only after Li Wanchang personally went out of the city to collect the defeated troops, Song Che recruited his own soldiers: "Go to the Jinshan Marquis' Mansion to deliver a letter, just say that the Great Victory Pass is lost, and let the Jinshan Marquis prepare early." ”

.

After Yang He crossed the river, he summoned several generals under his command outside the Dasheng Pass.

"Since Emperor Zhaolie has five tiger generals, and now the official also has five marshals, it is a fortunate thing for the imperial court, Nanjing is not desirable in the near future, and the army should encourage the official."

Du Wenhuan was not there, Yang Qi, He Huchen, Yang Jiajian, Wang Jiayin and other four people hugged their fists together: "We are ordered by the superintendent to take Nanjing." ”

Capture Nanjing, what a glory this is, Jinling is of great significance, this is also the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen's all-out efforts, and even did not hesitate to reach a peace with Jiannu, as well as a private brotherly state.

"The troops under the command of the king of this war have worked too hard, the official has already written a performance table, and the military merit book has also been recorded, just wait for Nanjing to recover, I believe that you and the other five people will definitely be knighted."

Title...

After Chongzhen came to power, he didn't have a title, even in such a difficult situation of state affairs.

Among them, Wang Jiayin is the hottest, after all, he was born as a peasant, and because he couldn't eat enough to rebel, he became the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, and the span was too large, which made many substantial changes in his heart.

"Mr. Wang..."

Hearing Yang He's voice, Wang Jiayin immediately came out and hugged his fists: "Master Inspector..."

"You are a pioneer..."

"Order..."

After Wang Jiayin left, Yang Jiajian, as one of the five commanders, immediately spoke: "Boss, why do you let Wang Jiayin's department be the vanguard?" ”

That's what others mean as well.

Yang He let out a sigh of relief, looked at the remaining four people, and said for a long time: "Although the dynasty employs people in an eclectic manner, I am a Ming officialdom...

It has to be clear and clear..."

Although the four of them are all military generals, they immediately read the taste from it, you look at me, I look at your sneer, and almost everyone prayed in their hearts for Wang Jiayin, who had the idea of worshipping the marquis.

Brother, don't die too soon...
