Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 194 Recapturing Zunhua City

With the sound of three cannons, three high-explosive bombs fell directly on the wall of Liaoyang City.

The Jiannu who were crowded together were instantly blown up by shells, and for a moment, the whole city was in chaos.

"Where is the cannon shooting? Where is the cannon shooting?" A Niu Luzhang Jing, with his belt tight, rushed out of a house in a panic.

"Master, those smart dogs from Dongjiang Town have rushed up."

An infantry soldier rushed over in panic, and yelled at Niu Luzhangjing.

"Where are they?"

This Niu Luzhang Jing collected himself, drew out the long knife at his waist, and looked at the infantry soldier.

"Master, I'm not sure. The servant didn't see it." The armored soldier hurriedly said.

When Niu Luzhang Jing heard this, he slapped him with a big mouth.

"You slave, didn't you see what you're doing? Take me up the city wall, and at the same time, wake me up all the soldiers who are still sleeping." Niu Luzhangjing yelled a few words angrily, and then took a long knife to kill him. Go towards the wall of Liaoyang City.

In fact, there was no need to call at all. When the cannon sounded, they were all awakened.

Niu Luzhangjing walked up the city wall step by step along the stairs, but before he could go up, there was another explosion sound from the top of the city wall.

In an instant, earth and rocks flew, and a Jiannu soldier was blown up from the city wall and flew directly on the head of Niu Luzhangjing.

A corpse weighing more than 100 kilograms fell directly from the sky and landed on his head.

This Niu Luzhang Jing didn't even utter a scream, he was directly smashed to death by his own men, and his body rolled down the stairs.

"It's not good, my lord was killed, it's over, we're over." A Jiannu guard who witnessed Niu Luzhangjing's being smashed to death shouted in panic.

Those Jiannu who were already panicked became even more panicked after hearing this.

Mao Chengzuo took a white phosphorus incendiary bomb from a gunner and put it directly into the barrel of the mortar.

"Oh!"

Under the violent collision between the fuze and the base of the cannonball, a white phosphorous incendiary bomb was thrown directly from the gun bore and headed towards the city.

White phosphorous incendiary bombs were also loaded into the other two mortars, and they fired towards the city.

When the white phosphorus incendiary bomb exploded on the top of the city, the entire city wall became a sea of ​​flames.

There are screaming Jiannu everywhere, and Jiannu running around on fire.

All of a sudden, the Jiannu on the top of the city shouted in panic like ants on a hot pot.

Mao Chengzuo looked at the miserable appearance of Jiannu on the top of the city, with a smile on his face.

"Are you stupid? Blow up the city gate directly. The shells are so precious. If you waste them like this, aren't you prodigal?"

Seeing Mao Chengzuo not blowing up the city gate, Mao Wenlong couldn't help scolding.

Mao Chengzuo scratched his head and hurriedly asked the gunner to adjust the parameters.

After adjusting the parameters, he loaded a white phosphorus incendiary bomb into it again.

With the sound of a cannon, the gates of the city began to burn.

The three mortars fired nearly ten rounds, dropping nearly thirty shells on the head of Liaoyang City.

Although these [-] shells didn't seem like a lot, they were enough to cover the entire city wall on this narrow city wall.

Under repeated blows from artillery fire, Jiannu on the top of the city began to collapse.

Mao Wenlong led the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to look at the burning city gate, their eyes were scarlet, and they were panting heavily.

After a quarter of an hour, the city gate collapsed amidst the burning.

Mao Wenlong drew out the long knife at his waist and shouted angrily, "Brothers, kill Jiannu!"

Mao Wenlong took the lead and rushed directly towards the gate of Liaoyang City.

The Jiannu on the top of the city had been beaten for a long time. When they saw the Dongjiang Town soldiers rushing towards them, their first thought was not how to resist, but to run away.

No matter how elite soldiers are, they will soon collapse under the dimensionality reduction blow of such a weapon that is hundreds of years ahead.

If you want to say which army in the Ming Dynasty is the most ruthless to Jiannu, apart from the soldiers from Dongjiang Town, I am afraid there is no other.

The soldiers in Dongjiang Town are basically Han people who escaped from Liaodong. They were bullied by slavery in Liaodong, so when the soldiers from Dongjiang Town invaded Liaoyang City, the entire Liaoyang City was quickly destroyed. It became a place like hell.

There are less than 1000 Jiannu in the city, but there are 4000 soldiers in Dongjiang Town, and there are dozens of 56 and a half rods.

When Jiannu organized and charged towards the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, they were beaten to pieces by the soldiers of Dongjiang Town.

After repelling Jiannu's attack, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town did not give up. Like hungry wolves, they rushed towards Jianu in groups.

There were massacres everywhere, and the soldiers in Dongjiang Town vented all the anger they had accumulated for a long time at this moment.

They kept waving the knives in their hands, slashing at Jiannu.

Even the Jiannu people in the city were not spared. Those Jiannu family members who hid in their homes and closed their doors were also pulled out of their homes by Dongjiang Town soldiers and chopped off their heads on the street.

Mao Wenlong looked at all this and didn't feel cruel.

What Nurhachi did in Liaodong back then was even crueler than what is happening now.

I don't know who set a fire, and the whole city of Liaoyang began to burn.

It didn't take long for the flames to soar into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.

A group of Jiannu who had retreated pulled out a few war horses from the stables, and fled from another city gate in panic, heading towards Shengjing City.

When the sky was bright, the entire city of Liaoyang was almost burned to the ground.

Soldiers from Dongjiang Town, who had been crazy all night, lay in twos and threes in Jiannu's barracks, fast asleep.

Fortunately, these barracks are close to the city wall and are built with stones and bricks, otherwise they would have turned into ashes long ago.

Mao Wenlong also sent soldiers to just block the gates of Liaoyang City, and at the same time sent people to patrol the top of the city.

When the news of the fall of Liaoyang City spread to Shengjing City and was learned by Dai Shan, he seemed to be dumbfounded.

……

"Liu Wu, pass on the order and head towards Zunhua City in two quarters of an hour."

After Zhao Wen had breakfast, he rinsed his mouth with light salt water, and said to Liu Wu who came to ask for orders.

"As ordered!"

Liu Wu cupped his hands at Zhao Wen, and then walked outside.

Not long after Liu Wu went out, the sound of military drums sounded in the camp of the Longmen Army.

The remaining more than 2000 people are gathering, and more than 20 mortars are also gathered together, heading in the direction of Zunhua City.

"We must take Zunhua City within two hours today. Do you have the confidence?" Zhao Wen shouted loudly as he watched the well-armored Longmen Army in front of him, riding on his horse.

"Yes, yes!" The soldiers of the Longmen Army raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

"set off!"

Looking at the soldiers of the Longmen Army with high morale, Zhao Wen couldn't help nodding and shouted loudly.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers of the Longmen Army headed towards Zunhua City after shouting three kills.

At this time, the camp of the Longmen Army was far away from Zunhua City, so the soldiers of the Longmen Army rode on horses.

As for the mortars, they were all pulled on carts.

After a little effort, the Longmen Army stopped two miles away from Zunhua City.

Twenty mortars were unloaded from the cart by the gunner and assembled on the spot.

In half a stick of incense, the mortar was fully assembled.

Zhao Wen came to the front of the mortar position, drew out the Yanling Saber from his waist, pointed at the Zunhua City in front, and roared: "I will give you two quarters of an hour, and you must give me the Zunhua City. Blow open the door, or blast a section of the Zunhua city wall, do you have confidence?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The gunners behind Zhao Wen shouted loudly.

"A school gun, load the high-explosive bomb, and let it go!" Li Feng looked at the Zunhua City in front of him, holding a small red flag in his hand, and shouted angrily,

"Oh!"

As soon as the words fell, a shell headed towards the top of Zunhua City.

Several slave soldiers who were staying on the city wall were directly smashed to pieces by the shells used to calibrate the artillery.

In an instant, the Jiannu in the entire city began to panic.

"The calibration of the artillery is completed, a high-explosive shell is loaded and fired!" Li Feng waved the little red flag in his hand down heavily.

"Bang bang bang!"

For a time, the flames filled the sky, and more than 20 mortar shells headed towards the top of Zunhua City.

"Bang bang bang!"

The high-explosive bomb fell on the top of Zunhua City, instantly blasting the green bricks on the top of the city into flying everywhere.

For a while, a large number of defenders on the top of the city were blown to death.

Amin was staying in the yamen of the county government at this time, when he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling cannons, he rushed out hastily.

"What's going on?" He asked hurriedly when he saw a messenger rushing towards him.

The messenger said: "Master Belle, something is wrong, the Ming army has rushed up, there are so many of them that they cannot be counted."

The Longmen army didn't rush up at all, it was just that he was scared out of his wits.

"What? The Ming army rushed up? How could it be so fast?" Amin looked at the messenger in panic.

When he was under the capital, he had also seen the terrifying and strange artillery with his own eyes.

"What's going on? Is it the one we met in the capital city?" Amin asked anxiously.

"Back to Lord Baylor, that's the kind. Thunder from the sky, thunder from the sky."

The messenger's panicked look made Amin terrified.

The weird and terrifying attack under the capital city really frightened him.

"Master Baylor, let's run. If we don't run, I'm afraid we're all dead." The orderly looked at Amin and begged bitterly.

"Yes, yes, yes, run quickly, this city of Zunhua can't be defended, and if you want to defend it, many people will die. All of my Eight Banners athletes are extremely precious. The place wastes life in vain. There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Send the order and the whole army will retreat."

Amin was rather straightforward. When he learned that the attack his army encountered was the attack he encountered outside the capital that day, he directly withdrew the soldiers from the top of the city and gathered in the open space in the city.

When the assembly is almost the same, they are ready to rush out of the city.

When Ma Sigong and Jia Weiyao saw A Min who was leaving in a hurry, they hurriedly stopped him, "Master Belle, take us with you. If you don't take us with you, we will definitely be executed."

At this time, Amin was in a hurry to run for his life, how could he have the time to talk to them?
"Get out of here, you lowly Nikan, get out of here quickly." Amin kicked Ma Sigong's lower abdomen and kicked him far away.

"Master Baylor, the servants have silver, as long as you are willing to take us away, the silver is yours."

Ma Sigong lay on the ground, still yelling at Amin.

"Get out, you'd better keep the money, don't try to stop grandpa from escaping!"

Amin reprimanded in a cold voice, then stepped on a war horse and led the soldiers with white flags towards another city gate.

Ma Sigong and Jia Weiyao looked at A Min who had fled, and lay on the ground, crying loudly.

"It's over, it's over, it's really over now."

At this time, Zhao Wen held up the binoculars to look at the ruined city, and asked with a puzzled look: "What's going on? Why is there no movement on the city? Could it be that these Jian slaves all ran away?" right?"

"My lord, my subordinates also feel that something is wrong. Our artillery has been blasting for such a long time. It stands to reason that there should be some reaction from the top of the city, right? Not only is there no reaction now, even the previous defenders are gone. There's something strange about it." Liu Wu approached, also holding up a binoculars, and said with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhao Wen put down the binoculars in his hand, and shouted to Li Feng who was directing the artillery to fire: "Stop the shelling, stop the shelling, there is something strange in it."

When Li Feng heard Zhao Wen's voice again, he hurriedly ordered the artillery to stop the attack.

"Liu Wu, take some people and go check it out."

Zhao Wen said to Liu Wu who was on the side.

Liu Wu nodded heavily, and then led hundreds of people towards Zunhua City.

When he came to Zunhua City, he felt even more weird.

I have already reached the top of Zunhua City. It stands to reason that this distance is also a place where Jiannu's bow and arrow can shoot, but why doesn't Jiannu respond at all?

Although Liu Wu was very puzzled as to why Jiannu didn't attack, he didn't know the specific reason at this time, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

When he led the men and horses through the bombed and dilapidated city gate to Wengcheng and the Tibetan soldier cave behind Wengcheng, he realized that Jiannu had long since disappeared.

He looked at the empty city wall and the cave for hiding soldiers at the base of the city wall, and sighed in great annoyance.

"Damn it, I was fooled by these bastards."

After a while, Liu Wu led the troops back to Zhao Wen's side.

"My lord, we have been deceived. Jianu has already run away. Now there is no one on the entire city wall except for some bombed corpses. Grandma's is not clean." Liu Wu looked depressed. Said to Zhao Wen.

"Hehe, I knew this group of dogs ran away, wasting so many shells of mine. Pass the order and enter the city!"

Zhao Wen retracted the binoculars and said angrily.

A few quarters of an hour later, under the leadership of Zhao Wen, the Longmen Army walked into Zunhua City with neat steps.
