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

Chapter 63 The Battle of Jiangning ([-])

"Quick! Quick! Speed ​​up the march." Gan Hui urged.As the soldiers quickened their pace, the sound of cannons in the direction of Jiagangmen became more and more intensive, and there was a faint sound of firecrackers like popping beans in the middle.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, when Gan Hui came to the gate, hundreds of people from the "Hula" camp appeared on the wall, one by one bent their bows and set up arrows to aim at Gan Hui and the others.

At the entrance of the gate, a hundred households led more than a hundred soldiers to block Gan Hui's way, and shouted: "Stop coming."

Gan Hui clasped his fists, "I am Gan Hui, Bo Chongming, under the command of King Yanping. By order of King Yanping, I have sent [-] shi of grain. Please inform me."

"Uncle Chongming, please wait a moment, I will send someone to inform Mr. Chen Gong." The Baihu clasped his fists and said.Then the Baihu called a soldier and told him to report back.

The sound of cannons and gunfire at Jiagang Gate gradually subsided, and after a while, Chen Gong, who had stayed behind in the camp, came to Yuanmen on horseback and got off his horse.

He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Chongming is being polite."

"Your Majesty Chen, you are welcome. I came here this time because King Yanping learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Lao's army is coming from far away, and the army is short of food and grass. He specially ordered me to bring [-] shi of grain to express his gratitude." Gan Hui clasped his hands and said.

"Oh! Thank you King Yanping and Uncle Chongming. I am worried about the lack of food in the army! Now Uncle Chongming has solved our urgent need. Quickly, open the gate of the camp. Uncle Chongming, please come in." Chen Gong thanked Gan Hui, With an empty hand, he invited Gan Hui to enter the camp.

With the sound of horseshoes, a Ming army cavalry galloped over. When he saw Chen Gong at the gate, he got off his horse and knelt down on one knee. The army is entering the city."

"The crown prince has captured Jiagang Gate?" Chen Gong asked.

The soldier of the Ming army bowed his hands to the sky and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has led an army to attack Jiagang Gate. Now Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are leading troops to attack Fengtai Gate. His Royal Highness has an order to capture it today." Fengtai Gate, Big and Small Ande Gate, Big and Small Xunxiang Gate, and Jiangdong Gate, he ordered me to inform Mr. Chen, set up camps, set up camp outside Zhengyang Gate in the city, and prepare to attack Zhengyang Gate."

"Okay, that's great, I'll arrange to set up camp and go to Zhengyangmen." Chen Gong said happily.

"What? His Royal Highness has already captured Jiagang Gate, and is now attacking Fengtai Gate, and is going to attack Fengtai Gate, Big and Small Ande Gate, and Big and Small Xunxiang Gate in one fell swoop, until he captures Jiangdong Gate?" Gan Hui said Surprised.

The soldier delivering the letter raised his head and said: "The Tartars in the city are vulnerable. His Highness the Crown Prince occupied the Jiagang Gate in less than a quarter of an hour. It is estimated that the army of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao will soon arrive at Fengtai. The door is open."

"Boom boom boom" the soldier had just finished speaking, when suddenly there was a violent explosion from the direction of Fengtai Gate.

The soldier's face brightened, and he said: "Listen, the two commanders Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have already started to attack Fengtai Gate."

"This, this, that's great." Gan Hui jumped up happily.Since he arrived outside the city of Jiangning, he persuaded Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping, to attack the city immediately, and not to fall into the tartar's trick of delaying the army.

But King Yanping credulously trusted Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang in the city, and asked Zheng Chenggong to wait for a while and let them prepare before Kaesong surrendered.

Gan Hui has been worried for the past few days, worried that Emperor Shunzhi of the Tartars would send a large number of reinforcements. When the reinforcements of the Tartars arrived in Jiangning, it would be extremely difficult to capture Jiangning. The city repelled the Tartar reinforcements.

It's all right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led an army to break through Jiagang Gate today, and the battle of Fengtai Gate has also begun. If the Prince's battle plan is followed and the Jiangdong Gate is captured, the Yanping King's army outside Jiangdong Gate will be able to enter Jiangdong Gate , Set up a big camp outside the Sanshan Gate in the inner city, and attack the Sanshan Gate tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Gan Hui clasped his fists to Chen Gong and saluted, "Master Chen, since His Royal Highness's order has arrived, why don't we go to Jiagang Gate together so that I can also pay my respects to His Royal Highness."

"Okay, pass the order, set up the camp and set up the camp, the army will move out, and go to Jiagang Gate to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Gong passed on the general order.The soldiers of the Ming army in the camp immediately started to move, dismantling the tents and loading them into the carriages.

An hour later, Chen Gong and Gan Hui, who was escorting [-] shi of grain, arrived at Jiagang Gate, and Zhu Cixuan warmly received Gan Hui.

At the same time, Gan Hui also learned that the prince's army had successively breached Fengtai Gate, Big and Small Ande Gate, and is now attacking Xiao Xunxiang Gate.Gan Hui made some calculations in his mind, and found that according to the attacking speed of the prince's army, Jiangdongmen would be captured in another hour. He had to rush to the camp of King Yanping's army outside Jiangdongmen as soon as possible, and let the army cooperate with the prince. The army attacked Jiangdongmen.

Therefore, the carriages for transporting food were also abandoned, and they directly bid farewell to Zhu Cixuan, and led [-] soldiers to leave Jiagang Gate in a hurry, and rushed to Jiangdong Gate from outside the city along the city wall.

When he arrived at Jiangdongmen, he saw explosions on the tower of Jiangdongmen one after another, mixed with the sound of "bababa" dense firecrackers. He hurried back to the camp of Zheng Chenggong's army outside Jiangdongmen, summoned People and horses drove out of the camp and went straight to Jiangdongmen.

Gan Hui led the army to Jiangdong Gate, and saw that the gate of Jiangdong Gate was open, and Jiangdong Gate had been captured by the prince's army. Breaking through the seven gates of Jiangning Outer City one after another, the speed was so fast that Gan Hui's eyeballs exploded.

He didn't expect that the Tartars in Jiangning would be so unbeatable, they could be said to be defeated in one battle. Knowing that the defenders of the Tartars were so weak, he wanted to lead a large army to attack the city even if he tried his best to disobey King Yanping's order not to fight. , Do not give the Tartars a chance to breathe.

If Zhu Cixuan knew what was going on in Gan Hui's mind at this moment, he would have smiled slightly and said to himself, Uncle Chongming, you think too much, not because the Tartars don't fight well, but because the army under my command has strong firepower. Destroy the dead, win consecutive battles.

If you go to attack the city, don't talk about touching your head!But it won't be as easy as me to break through seven city gates one after another.

After Gan Hui led his troops into the city to meet Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun handed over the Jiangdong Gate to Gan Hui. The two of them led their troops to leave Jiangdong Gate and return to Jiagang Gate to join Zhu Cixuan.

What is our Crown Prince doing at this time!At this time the crown prince Zhu Cixuan was sitting in the main hall of the Jiagangmen gate tower, concentrating on the row of golden characters in his mind.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the customer for conquering the Jiagang Gate within the stipulated time, one reward for consumption of 1000 gold coins, one reward for consumption of 1 gold coins, please ask if you want to draw a prize."

"Spend 1000 gold coins to draw a prize." Zhu Cixuan silently said in his heart.

"Ding dong, elixir, strong tendon washing marrow and forging bone pill (10 pieces), description: after taking it, it can comprehensively improve the user's physical fitness and physical quality, enhance the strength and toughness of meridians in the body, Allow meridians to withstand more impact of internal force and true energy;
