Chen Zhaoxian's army was completely annihilated, which meant that the last barrier of Jiqing was removed. At this time, Jiqing was like a girl who was stripped naked, naked in front of the rebels.

The righteous army was violent, and after leaving some troops to defend the city, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses, carrying the aftermath of the great victory, and drove towards Jiqing City, advancing by water.

When he was still five miles from the city wall, he ordered the whole army to sound the drums and gongs, and for a time the field was full of noise, as if thousands of troops and horses were marching.

The Yuan army at the head of the city trembled uncontrollably when they heard the loud noise, they were afraid, they had already been demoralized to the lowest point after learning that the two armies of the barbarian Hague and Chen Zhaoxian had been wiped out, and now they didn't even have the last trace of fighting spirit.

Someone dropped his weapon and fled to the city, trying to disguise himself as a civilian and escape the disaster.

However, a sword stopped them.

That's Xingtai Imperial Doctor Fushou. Behind him, his own soldiers drew their weapons in unison and aimed them at the deserters.

"Retreater, slash!" Fushou's eyes were full of coldness.

"I, who are the world's food kings, are about to fight today, how can we turn our backs on the Lord and flee?" He said loudly.

"Open the gates and meet the enemy!"

"Doctor, we don't have enough troops, so it's better to defend the city." The general persuaded, but before he could finish his words, Fu Shou sent the long sword in his hand, which hit him in the heart, and the general fell down with an unbelievable look.

Fushou gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"Those who dare to retreat, kill!"

Under his coercion, the Yuan army finally drove out of the city slowly, lined up, and looked like it.

Fu Shou believes that as long as the Yuan army cheers up, those enemies on the opposite side will definitely not be the opponents of the Yuan army, you must know that they have defeated the Red Turban Army twice, and even killed their marshal!

But he overestimated the will of the Yuan army to resist, and also overestimated his own command ability.

Even before the battle with the rebel army was head-on, the Yuan army at the forefront was hit by the fire of the rebel army's naval division, although it was already the limit of the range, but under the volley of ten thousand cannons, there were still hundreds of casualties.

This became the straw that broke the camel's back.

The large army of the rebels had not yet arrived, the Yuan army had been defeated, and they no longer cared about any imperial historians, and they rushed to the city desperately, and now only the tall city walls could give them a little comfort.

Fu Shou led his own soldiers to kill several people in a row, but when he saw the Yuan soldiers with red eyes and aimed the weapons in their hands at them, he could only sigh and weakly get out of the way.

Yan Ling stood at the bow of the ship, full of spirit, he commanded the sand boats to continuously send out artillery bombardments, and proudly watched the rout of the Yuan army. This time, the three giant ships were still under his command, but the rest of the fleet was led by the generals of the Chaohu Naval Army.

"Siege!" With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the soldiers carried the ladder and braved the rain of arrows and artillery fire, and rushed up in a swarm.

Ant-attached, siege!

And this distance is a little far for the ships, the artillery fire is no longer available, and the rebels have already reached the city wall, and if they fire again, they will be injured by mistake.

However, it does not mean that the navy army is useless, Yan Ling looked at the map and soon came up with another idea.

At this time, the attack of the rebels was also hindered.

Although the morale of the Yuan army was extremely low at this time, it was more than 30,000 people after all, relying on the city wall and artillery, the righteous army was unable to attack it for a while, and seeing that the righteous army could not help itself, the morale of the Yuan army was also slightly improved.

If this continues, although it is still a matter of time before Kecheng is still a matter of time, the casualties of the rebels will not be small.

You must know that many of these troops are elite, and it is a pity that they are consumed in the meaningless ant possession.

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyebrows, a little headache, there were only a small number of troops surrendered, most of them were old troops who fought with him from Chuzhou, and such casualties made him feel distressed.

However, he had no better way, and the ants were attached to the siege, and casualties were inevitable.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yan Ling called someone and wrote a letter in his hand, asking him to hand it over to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Marshal, Yan Du ordered me to hand over this letter to you."

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang is a little strange, according to reason, the water master is useless now. Does he want to lead the navy to land battle?

He slowly opened the piece of paper, but he didn't expect anything, the army that was good at land warfare had paid such a big price, and the addition of the navy army was only to increase casualties.

And when he read the whole letter, in an instant, he was ecstatic!

Zhu Yuanzhang's command soon arrived, and at the same time, Liao Yongzhong led an army of 2,000 people, with siege equipment, and embarked on the ships of the navy.

"U-turn!"

Yan Ling gave the order, and the three giant ships slowly set sail, and their target was the western city wall of Jiqing.

After passing the Yangtze River into the Qinhuai River, you can reach the city of Jiqing, which is very close to the river and is not suitable for the army to spread out, but the naval army can give full play to its artillery advantage.

In front of them, there was only one wooden bridge, the Koto Bridge.

"Crash it off."

The giant ship is so capricious, Yan Ling seems to have experienced the pleasure of Zheng He in later generations.

Losing the last obstacle, the western city wall of Jiqing was naked in front of everyone, and the Yuan army at the head of the city watched this scene in amazement.

The terrain here was not suitable for the army to spread out, so it was not the focus of defense at all, and they did not think that the rebels would choose this place as a breakthrough.

In fact, it is true, Zhu Yuanzhang did not think about using this place as the direction of attack before, because next to the big river, the army can't even set up a formation, and if it really wants to attack the city, it is a live target to be crowded together.

"Don't be afraid!" The commander of the Yuan army at the head of the city shouted:

"We have three thousand, and they can't get in! Get ready to defend! ”

His shouting restored some self-confidence to the Yuan soldiers, and they began to light their artillery, bend their bows and arrows, and prepare for the attack.

However, in the next second, a fierce fire flashed in front of their eyes—not their own, but the rebels'.

The guns on board the three sand ships opened fire with impunity! Countless boulders fell from the sky, accompanied by the roar of cannons, and instantly turned the city into a hell of flesh and blood! The Yuan army collapsed in an instant!

The rebels easily stormed the city, and the western wall was lost.

When the news reached Fu Shou's ears, he only felt dizzy, he knew what it meant, the western city wall was broken, the Yuan army had no advantage, and half of this city could be said to have fallen into the hands of the righteous army!

But he still didn't plan to give up.

"Gather your forces and prepare for street fighting!"
