I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 61 The Battle of Jiangning ([-])

The sun is slowly rising, and the bright sunshine shines on the ancient Jiangning city wall. Last night, the Jiangning admiral, who led [-] green battalion soldiers to reinforce Jiagangmen, was loyal and patrolled Jiagangmen's defense regardless of fatigue.

Jiangning is the place where Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital. It is composed of four circles of walls: Miyagi, Imperial City, Capital City, and Cheng Guo.

Among the 13 city gates in the capital city of Jiangning, there are three mountains with treasures adjacent to Tongji, Zhengyang Chaoyang Dingtaiping, Shence Jinchuan near Zhongfu, and Yifeng Dinghuai Qingshi City.

The outer city has eighteen gates, including Qilin Gate, Xianhe Gate, Yaofang Gate, Guanyin Gate, Foning Gate, Shangyuan Gate, Cangbo Gate, Gaoqiao Gate, Shangfang Gate, Jiagang Gate, Fengtai Gate, Ande Gate, Big and Small Elephant Taming Gate, Jiangdong Gate and so on.

Due to the large number of city gates, although the Manchu Tartars still had 5000 Tartars and [-] Green Battalion soldiers in Jiangning, a total of [-] troops, although the number was quite large, there were more places to defend.

In particular, Yifengmen and Dinghuaimen faced the Yangtze River directly. Zheng Chenggong's army had landed on the beach and set up a camp directly outside Yifengmen in the inner city. The gates of the outer city gates are seriously insufficient in terms of garrison troops. For the less important gates of the outer city gates like Jiagang Gate, there are only 5000 green battalion soldiers stationed there.

Therefore Lang Tingzuo, governor of Liangjiang, learned that [-] Ming troops had arrived outside Jiagangmen, so he sent Admiral Guan Zhongzhong and [-] Green Battalion soldiers to support him overnight.

Guan Xiaozhong was patrolling the Jiagang Gate. At this moment, outside the Jiagang Gate, there were loud cannons and war drums beating.Guan Xiaozhong hurried back to the tower of Jiagang Gate, took a binoculars from the soldiers beside him, put it in front of his eyes, and looked out of the city.

In the distance, the gate of the Ming army camp was wide open, and a steady stream of cavalry rushed out of the gate and came straight to Jiagang Gate. For a while, thousands of horses galloped and rolled up the yellow dust in the sky, like a yellow dragon rolling in.

Guan Zhongzhong took a deep breath, and within a quarter of an hour, his eyes were filled with the galloping Ming army cavalry, filling the field outside Jiagang Gate.Guan Xiaozhong hurriedly mobilized 500 soldiers to defend the city wall, and another [-] people were on standby below the city, ready to support at any time.

The Ming army cavalry stopped advancing a hundred feet away from the city wall and began to form formation. He saw about a thousand Ming army cavalry dismounted one after another and lined up in two rows at a distance of twenty feet in front of the Ming army cavalry. A gap about ten feet wide.

Out of the gap, a Ming army general led a brigade of cavalry to form an arrow formation, making a charge.

"Admiral, is this Ming army planning to attack the city? But they don't have red cannons, and they don't have ladders. It's really strange." A lieutenant beside Guan Zhongzhong said suspiciously.

Hearing what the lieutenant said, Guan Xiaozhong found out that although the Ming army outside the city was in a siege posture, he didn't see cannons, ladders and other siege weapons and equipment in the Ming army, and he felt a little relieved.

yes!You didn’t prepare cannons or ladders for the siege. Why did the Ming army attack the city? It’s probably because the newly arrived pseudo-Ming Taizi pulled people out and made a gesture for Zheng Chenggong to see.Another scare to scare us, Guan Zhongzhong, who felt that he saw the truth, also let go of his hanging heart.

At this time, he saw about a hundred soldiers of the Ming army walking in front of the thousand soldiers of the Ming army, lined up in a horizontal line, holding something that looked like a large pistol in their hands, and what were they doing?
The thousand Ming soldiers in the back took things like firecrackers from their backs, and began to fiddle with them non-stop. Afterwards, Guan Xiaozhong saw the thousand Ming soldiers and the hundred Ming soldiers, and they held them in their hands one after another. He raised his firecracker and large handgun, pointing at himself and others on the city wall.

Guan Zhongzhong suddenly felt palpitations, and a feeling of extreme danger rushed to his face, but he didn't know where this danger came from.This made him very uncomfortable.

Does it mean that the army's firecrackers can hit him?Then he shook his head. How is this possible? As far as he knows, there is no firecracker with a range of one hundred feet. The shooting range of the blunderbuss has been greatly increased, but I heard that the farthest is less than fifty feet, which made him puzzled for a while, not knowing which one the Ming army was playing.

Outside the city, Zhu Cixuan rode on a tall horse. Ever since he got the equestrian specialization, he found a tall and healthy bay red horse in the army the next day. Zhu Cixuan had a good time with the speedy addiction of a rare BMW horse.

"Ding dong, trigger task 1000, Jiang Ning, the place where Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Conquer the Jiagang Gate within twelve hours to reward 1 lottery with 10000 gold coins and 1 lottery with [-] gold coins."

"Ding dong, trigger mission 1000. Conquer Jiangning's inner city gate, Zhengyangmen, within three days, and reward 1 lottery with 10000 gold coins and 1 lottery with [-] gold coins."

"Ding dong, trigger task three, recover the entire Jiangning within five days, reward 1000 lottery draw for consumption of 1 gold coins, and 10000 lottery draw for consumption of 1 gold coins. The countdown starts at 120:00:00."

"Warm reminder, if the task is not completed within the specified time, the reward will be cancelled, and the gold coins required for the task will be deducted as a punishment (Explanation: If task 11000 is not completed within the specified time, the lottery draw will be cancelled, but it will be in the balance 33000 gold coins will be deducted as a punishment, and if the three missions are not completed, [-] gold coins will be deducted)”

System prompts sounded in Zhu Cixuan's mind one after another. Zhu Cixuan, who was riding on a horse, concentrated in his mind, and saw three tasks released in a row, warm reminders and a countdown at 119:59:59.

Fuck, if you can't complete the task, you will directly deduct the gold coins, and the lottery is gone. Can you blackmail the system and just deduct the gold coins in the balance at once, that's awesome.Zhu Cixuan's stomach was bulging with anger, watching the golden countdown in his mind, 119:59:50, and after a while it became 119:59:25, 119:58:00.The countdown is decreasing bit by bit.

Well, I can't be offended, Zhu Cixuan quit the system angrily, not looking at him, not disturbing his heart.With a wave of his hand, he picked up a Mauser 98K rifle, filled it with five bullets, and "clicked" the bullets into the chamber.

The system couldn't be provoked, so he poured his anger on the tartars in the gate tower, only to hear Zhu Cixuan use his internal strength to shout loudly, "Riflemen, grenade launchers, prepare, each rifleman fires five magazines, Each grenade launcher fired ten grenades, and then the grenade launchers aimed at the city gate together and blasted the city gate open for the prince.

Wen Yuan led five thousand cavalry to prepare, and after the city gate was blasted open, he led the cavalry to attack.After everyone heard my gunshot, they opened fire together. "

After speaking, Zhu Cixuan raised his Mauser rifle, aimed at a Tartar general on the tower, and pulled the trigger.
