Chapter 364: I'm Back Again

Chaoyang Gate Inner and Outer Street is the Imperial City Donghua Gate less than five miles past, and the first choice for King Fu to enter Nanjing is Chaoyang Gate.

Yang He has not yet arrived at Chaoyangmen, Yang Qi's army is still marching at Wang Zhengyangmen, guarding Chaoyangmen is the original Nanjing defenders, after Yang He entered the city, he sent a staff general to assist in guarding this more important city gate.

In the face of the forty or fifty thousand soldiers of the Liang Domain who suddenly appeared outside the city, the general in charge of defending the city broke out in a cold sweat, where did he come from to fight so many opponents?

"Hurry up and tell the Overseer..."

Chen Cao was quite touched in front of Ma Cheng, and then summoned Pu Xiang, who rushed over: "Brother Pu..."

"The prince is polite, don't call it that way in the future. ”

Pu Xiang is very discerning, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is unrealistic to call Chen Cao a brother, and he is not a capable general like Xu Da, and he does not have Tang He's luck.

Chen Cao smiled, and then nodded: "But it makes sense, what does Jin Shanhou think?" ”

Pu Xiang looked up at Chaoyangmen, and then said: "Qilin Gate is taller than Chaoyangmen, but the highest point in the inner city is still Zhengyangmen, Mu Qilin doesn't know what to do anymore, maybe he has been captured, or maybe he is still dormant and waiting for the opportunity, I think it is better to speed up the attack, if Yang He is urgently reinforced, the situation is not optimistic." ”

"Old Tang, have the armies entered the city?"

"Except for Man Gui's subordinates, they are already behind him."

"Bring our field artillery here and shoot at the gate of Chaoyangmen."

Four P-1 105 field guns were pulled to the front of the formation, facing the heavy vermilion lacquer gate of Chaoyang Gate.

Knock knock knock...

With the sound of four cannons, the flat-firing shells went straight towards the city gate.

The violent explosion resounded around Chaoyang Gate, and the people standing on the city tower suddenly felt that the city tower under their feet was shaking, as if it was about to collapse.

When the smoke cleared, Chen Cao could see clearly with the naked eye that the city gate of Chaoyang Gate, which had been blown up, was hanging a few remaining door panels alone, and the soldiers behind the door were also killed and wounded.

"The prince has an order to shell Chaoyangmen..."

Ten 105 field guns and 30 Shenwu guns of the Longwu Army Artillery Regiment were mounted in front of the city gate, ready to go.

"Lord Wang, we can actually charge, right?"

Chen Cao touched his nose, and then shook his head: "What's the panic, it's all in Nanjing City, it's Yang He's 500,000 people who are in formation, and the field artillery is bombarded, hehe..."

Tang Kainian thought about it, and the equipment of today's Longwu Army is not simple, second only to the Dingwu Army.

'Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock...'

'Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock...'

'Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock...'

Violent cannon fire rang out continuously, and the explosion was accompanied by ashes, and the entire Chaoyang Gate was completely submerged in just the first round of shelling.

After three rounds of shelling, the entire Chaoyang Gate Gate Tower was gone, and all that remained was corpses and piles of broken bricks and tiles.

Chen Cao let out a long breath, and then waved his hand: "Enter the city..."

.

"Shizi, the bridge above cannot be guarded, our contact with Yang Qi is broken, and I think it is better to retreat to Jubaomen as soon as possible."

Zhu Yujian nodded sullenly, from the previous defense to the defeat in the back, and then to the attack of more than 10,000 people on his side, but he didn't even have a chance to touch the pier of the bridge above.

The opponent's firepower was so fierce that it took them the shortest amount of time to build a trench position in front of the bridge above, and it was this damn position that their arrows and throwing weapons were all useless.

Li Yan looked at the bridge above in the distance, and sighed in his heart, the opponent has fought so far, obviously there are less than 2,000 people, but the 50,000 troops on his side are blocked in place and cannot move.

"Hey, the prince has an order, and the whole army rushes to Jubaomen."

.

Yang He looked at the map silently, listened to the report of his own soldiers, and then looked up at He Huchen: "You go to support Chaoyangmen, and when Yang Qi rushes back, I will come to support you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the herald came again: "Master Inspector, the big thing is not good, Liang Reverse attacks Chaoyangmen." ”

Yang He stumbled and almost fell: "Bastard, what about Yang Qi?" Where is the prince of the Tang Domain? ”

According to the scout, Yang Dashuai ordered Tang Wang Shizi to lead his troops to hold the bridge above, and the battle is urgent at this moment, and the specific situation cannot be investigated."

The previous cannon sound Yang He only thought that it was a cannon from Yang Qi's side, but the reality was that the army of Liang Rebellion was attacking Chaoyangmen, if it wasn't for his good health, he would have to be angry at this moment.

"Quickly let He Huchen recapture Chaoyangmen."

.

Chen Cao rode his horse slowly and leisurely from Chaoyang Gate into the inner city, at this moment his heart was ecstatic, if it weren't for his identity that couldn't make him debauchery, at this moment he had to stand on the tower of Chaoyang Gate and shout loudly:

'I, Hu Hansan, are back again...'

"Lord Wang, the reinforcements of the Qin army are here..."

Chen Cao retracted his thoughts, and then said with a smile: "What if you come, aren't the soldiers of our Liang Domain good at street fighting?" After passing the order, the Long Wu army dispersed into the inner city as a platoon, mainly on the streets, and occupied street by street until all the Qin troops who entered the city were beaten out. ”

"Yes..."

.

At this moment, the road up the mountain three miles below Yuhuatai is already full of corpses and mud.

Under the blows of the opponent's artillery, the soldiers fighting in the tunnel had already engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with the opponent who rushed up, and it was obvious that the bayonet was much better than weapons such as the Yanling long knife.

Moreover, the Qin army that rushed up was not clear about trench warfare, and they often rushed down in a swarm and were blocked by two or three Liang soldiers armed with rifles and bayonets.

Or maybe a cool soldier pulled the grenade bullet hanging from his waist before he died, and he was killed and wounded, and neither side got any bargains.

Wang's luck was also very bad, he was hit by a cannonball, the left side of his body was almost blown up, and in addition to shouting revenge when he was dying, he also handed over the military power he took over from Wang Jiayin to his henchman Gao Yingxiang.

However, it was this move that made Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong, who were also confidants, dissatisfied.

Luo Rucai is an old qualification, earlier than Gao Yingxiang, he was the first group of people to follow Wang Er's rebellion, and now, Wang Ziyong actually handed over the military power to Gao Yingxiang, who was not as good as him.

"This battle Lao Tzu is gone, he Gao Yingxiang is now a handsome, let him rush."

Zhang Xianzhong was beside Luo Rucai, and he also had a ruthless face: "What my brother said is that in terms of qualifications, he is not qualified to be a marshal, I don't know if Wang Dashuai was coerced before he died?" ”

Although Luo Rucai is stupid, he is not a big fool, and a person still cares about being threatened before he dies? It's no wonder that some people call Zhang Xianzhong 'Zhang Erscoop' in private.

"Inspector Yang's order is to besiege Yuhuatai, and it was the subordinates who took the lead before, but now... Which donkey will go again when he is blind..."

Zhang Xianzhong's eyelids twitched, and he didn't answer anymore, so he smiled and said, "If you don't go, let Gao Chuang go." ”

"How many more?"

Song Che's face was serious.

Li Xiukuan had just returned from the tunnel battlefield halfway up the hillside: "After counting, there are less than 5,000 people, and our brothers are basically wounded, and the military seats and artillery have been fired." ”

Song Che turned his head to look at the high artillery array not far from him, and shook his head: "Destroying the artillery and destroying the clairvoyant mirror can't be left to the enemy." ”

"Commander, the last general will cover your retreat."

Song Che took a Kang Xing rifle from the hand of the guard, and pulled the bolt: "Our new army of the Liang Domain only has soldiers who died in battle, and there are no soldiers who retreat and escape, Division Commander Li, prepare..."

"Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong retired?"

Gao Yingxiang frowned, and then looked at his subordinates who had already rushed up again: "No matter, let's remember this gang of killers first, now the Liang army is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and when they take Jubao Mountain, they will go and clean up their two donkey days." ”

The shouting of killing shook the sky, and Song Che stood at the top of the last pit defense line, and shouted: "Brothers, this seat lives and dies with you today, and the Ming Dynasty wins..."

"Daming Wansheng..."

The opponent was actually shouting that the Ming Dynasty was victorious, and the Qin army, who was looking up like this, was a little confused, but now that they were already winning, where would they care.

"Kill..."

The Qin army that climbed the mountain and the Liang army standing in the tunnel launched a fierce battle of cold weapons and firearms, but the Liang army troops who had held on for three days and two nights were now running out of ammunition and food, and after all the ammunition in their respective weapons was exhausted, they all stood out with bayonets and fought with the Qin army that rushed up.

There were more and more corpses in the trench, and the coagulated blood stained the mountain soil under his feet black and brown, and as the number of dead increased, blood actually accumulated in the tunnel.

The slippery blood caused both sides of the battle to slip in.

Song Che stabbed three people to death one after another, he was already a little tired, he was too tired...

Looking into the distance, Song Che seemed to see his wife and children in Shanghai, as well as his sister...

"Throne... Throne..."

Li Xiu, who was following him, was a thug with wide eyes, and his blood was full of blood, but his shouting seemed to be extremely weak.

Just when the fatal long knife was about to enter Song Che's waist and abdomen, I don't know if he was deliberately unconscious or reacted urgently, Song Che pulled out the pistol on his waist, and with one shot, he killed the Qin soldier who wanted to put him to death.

"Whew..."

Li Xiukuan let out a long breath, Song Che's safety was much more precious than his life.

"Reinforcements are coming..."

Song Che was distracted before, that is, he looked at the foot of the Yuhua Terrace, and at the foot of the spacious Jubao Mountain, a torrent of people rushed towards Jubao Mountain, although he couldn't see who the flag was, but Song Che saw the ant-like Qin army at the foot of the mountain was fleeing in another direction.

"Hahaha..."

Song Che laughed loudly: "Soldiers, hold on, reinforcements are coming..."

"Reinforcements are coming..."
