The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 777 Judgement
Seeing the master running down the city, his servants ran after Kong Youde without exception.

Many servants wiped their cold sweat while running, and they all saw the tragic situation on the top of the city. A small half of the servants who supervised Zhan died on the top of the city, and their death was ugly.

Without exception, the servants lost their courage and wanted to escape from the city, but the Patriarch didn't leave, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the obedient Wang Dian'er, who had vowed to stick to the city, was there. His legs and feet were numb, and he ran fast. After a while, he got on the horse and ran away.

The main general slipped away, the servant who supervised the battle was sloppy, and the unlucky lieutenant Yang Huazheng was hit in two by a direct shell.

Lieutenant General Zhang Hongmo watched his friend get shot with his own eyes, and his intestines flew to his neck. He was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot and had a mental breakdown. He sat slumped on the top of the wall, crying and laughing...

Many frightened defenders shouted in despair: "It's hopeless, it's hopeless, brothers, the artillery fire of the 'Red Banner Army' is too powerful, we can't beat them, if we stay at the top of the city, we will definitely die, surrender! "

"Damn it, where is King Gongsun? Why is his servant missing? How did the agreed death battle change?"

"You're stupider than a pig. Can you believe what you say when you're an official? That bastard Kong Youde forced us to die, and he ran away long ago."

"Damn Kong Youde, I'm fucking his eight generations of ancestors! Brothers, run away, get out of here, let's go to that bastard Kong Youde to settle the score."

"Brothers, we will definitely not be able to defeat the 'Red Banner Army'. I am going to kill that guy Kong Youde, and I am willing to follow me if I am willing to follow me!"

A ferocious-looking general banner officer shouted: "Brothers, those who follow me to kill his mother, not only kill Kong Youde, but all high-ranking officials deserve to die. It's those bastards who tricked us into defending the city and fighting against the general Zhenglu!" .”

A corporal of the Han army said: "Yes! Yes! When we were outside the city, we heard from the brothers who ran back from Seoul that the soldiers who surrendered are doing well, and the officials are likely to have unsatisfactory lives. "

More Han soldiers shouted: "Brothers, we have been deceived, let's go! Kill those officials who lied to us to death!"

Sun Yuanhua on the high watchtower watched the Qing army at Nanchengtou in Pyongyang run into the city in defeat. The observers on the hot air balloon also sent flags to inform the general that the enemy army was defeated and suggested that the shelling be stopped.

Sun Chuanting immediately issued an order to stop the bombardment, not only because the defenders at the top of the city were defeated, but also because the siege troops carrying ladders had already approached the position of the Mini gunners, and they would come to the base of the city wall to set up ladders to attack. city.

At this time, the field artillery does not stop firing and accidental injury may occur at any time.

The two generals, Mao Chenglu and Shang Keyi, were unambiguous, and they were not afraid of death when they fought. They both wanted to prove their loyalty and bravery with fierce battles, and repay the kindness of the General Zhenglu for his knowledge.

Although they were not allowed by the town governor to attack the city in person, they were all ready to climb the ladder to seize the city with steel shields in hand and steel knives in their mouths.

When receiving the order to launch a general attack, Shang Keyi and Mao Chenglu ran fast.

They are all strong men who are always working hard, wearing helmets and armor with steel shields and outrun most of the soldiers, leaving the governor behind.

When they came to the city, the well-trained guards who served as auxiliary soldiers put the ladders tailored according to the thickness and height of Pyongyang city on the city wall.

This kind of ladder is not only light in weight, but also very tough. After being built on the city wall, there are steel hooks on the front part to hook the crenel.

Mao Chenglu saw that the guards approached the city wall with ease, and erected the ladder in a short while, but there was no movement at the top of the city, and his heart was immediately discouraged.

He also survived a hundred battles, so he didn't know that the defenders at the top of the city were probably defeated and fled. It's no wonder that even if he led the original Dongjiang soldiers to defend the city, he would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of so many artillery and Mini guns .

Kong Youde?what?Just because he also became the prince of the Qing Dynasty really makes people laugh out loud!
He can't read a basket of words, he can't even beat me, Mao Chenglu, and he is trying to fight against General Zhenglu.

Mao Chenglu has the confidence to say such things in front of all the old Dongjiang town.

Because in Mao Wenlong's time, he was Mao Shuai's first adoptive son, known as "Mao Boss", and he was like an overlord in Dongjiang Town. Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and others were a generation younger, and he was Mao Shuai's adopted grandson.

Mao Chenglu's sincere feelings for Mao Wenlong can be seen from his refusal to change it so far.

When Kong Youde was the grandson of Mao Wenlong, he was called Mao Yongshi, and Geng Zhongming was called Mao Youjie.

Mao Wenlong had just been killed by Yuan Chonghuan, and the two changed their names back to their original names.

Whether it is loyalty or not will be judged.

The current Mao Chenglu is loyal to the General Zhenglu, and with his penetrating personality, he will definitely remain unswerving until death!

Huang Han, who was watching the siege with a fixed telescope, was eight miles away from Pyongyang. It wasn't that Huang Han was worried about being hit by artillery from the top of the city, which had a chance of less than one in ten thousand. The general had the slightest mistake.

It was impossible for the Chinese army to go to the front line in person. The eunuchs Zheng Zhihui and Fang Jingcheng who supervised the army, Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong, who came here specially to join the battle, kept pestering Huang Han not to let him come forward.

A few days ago, the Chinese Army’s position was outside the range of artillery fire at the head of the Pyongyang city. It was not a permanent building, but a tower two times higher than the surrounding area. It's just a big mound of ten feet.

The line of sight here is good, and the height is about the same as the steel lookout post four miles ahead. Huang Han uses a fixed telescope on the general platform to watch which soldier wins the honor of ascending first.

When he saw the first climber clearly, he became angry, because he clearly saw that the first climber was Mao Chenglu, the battalion leader with the title of lieutenant general, governor and general.

"Damn, where should a general be? Mao Chenglu is so willing to be a swordsman? What does his governor do?"

Zheng Xiaowen said with a smile: "Haha, the general, not only Mao Chenglu, but the second one to ascend to the top of the city is General Shang Keyi. They seem to be rushing to ascend the glory first, and Mao Chenglu is obviously one step ahead."

Huang Han said angrily: "It's against the heavens, I will punish you resolutely, and I will never tolerate it."

Gao Youmou reminded: "In the face of battle, violations of discipline and discipline should be executed. General, I am afraid this is inappropriate. They are not retreating in fear of the battle, but are going forward bravely. How can they encourage the soldiers to put life and death aside and fight bravely after losing their heads for this? enemy?"

"Mao Chenglu and Shang Keyi think that they have nothing to fear because of the pure purpose of violating discipline. How can we curb the spread of individual heroism if they are not punished?
Benjue has always emphasized that it is very important for each to perform their duties, and the general will be the first to rush. How can the grassroots soldiers feel so embarrassed? "
