The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 366 Night Raid and Seize the City!

The green battalion was completely defeated, and they lost their fighting spirit!
But the fighting will of the Eight Banners soldiers is still very firm!
Their families are all in the inner city. If the Ming army cannot be blocked, the fate of their families can be imagined.

If they don't work hard, who will work hard?

Whoever is cowardly, they can't be cowardly either!
The Qing army blocked the Ming army's offensive only by relying on the desperate fighting of the Eight Banners of the Han army.

……

Zhu Hongyu landed and stood on the pier outside Guangzhou.

The night sky is dotted with stars, and the broad Pearl River is also dotted with sparks.

Those were countless warships of the Ming army, and the signal lights hung on the masts of the transport ships.

The Ming army who landed set up their camp near the pier!
Zhu Hongyu's big tent was in the center of the camp. Accompanied by the generals around him, he went to inspect the wounded barracks and comforted the wounded soldiers.

Inspect the army meals and chat with the soldiers cordially!
The morale of the Ming army, which was already high, reached its peak in an instant after Zhu Hongyu appeared in the barracks.

As morale can be manifested, the morale of the current Ming army is like boiling water!
Everything that dares to stand in front of them will be completely crushed!

Zhu Hongyu patted the shoulder of a soldier who was buried in cooking. After the soldier raised his head, he spoke in a friendly voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, we will make a triumphant return tonight!"

The soldier nodded vigorously, and said with a blushing face.

"Swear to kill Hulu and serve Ming Dynasty!"

"His Royal Highness, I will definitely work hard!"

Zhu Hongyu laughed and said cheerfully.

"Don't worry about Gu, just walk around casually, you continue to eat, and you will have the strength to kill the enemy when you are full, right?!"

The soldier nodded vigorously again.

Then he continued to bury his head in cooking. After getting encouragement from Zhu Hongyu, the already delicious food became even more delicious.

The white flour pancakes are rolled with a large piece of fat, and served with a green onion, it tastes quite satisfying!

The oily broth is full of salt, and the tongue is full of fluid after the mouth, which makes people want to swallow their tongues too.

For people in this era, such food can definitely be regarded as extremely delicious.

However, since there is still fighting tonight, the soldiers of the Ming army ate very restrained!

Most of them ate until they were seven to eighty percent full, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks. If they ate too much, they might have a stomachache when fighting on the battlefield.

At most, he drank strange-tasting salt-sugar water to replenish his strength and water.

A Ming soldier sat silently on the ground, wiping his armor, swords and guns, ready to go into battle at any time!

……

It was night, the sky was dark, and the Ming army launched a night attack.

The sudden fight made the Qing army defending the city unable to react in time, so they were pressed and kept retreating.

The explosion of the grenade and the shouts of killing one after another resounded throughout the outer city of Guangzhou.

The night attack troops of the Ming army continued to seize key points one by one, annihilating the green battalion and the Eight Banners of the Qing army in large numbers.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Ming army captured most of the outer city.

After the sky brightened, the streets of the outer city of Guangzhou were filled with corpses of Qing soldiers.

The night attack troops of the Ming army retreated!
However, seeing the Ming army retreating like a tide at night, the Qing army had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the Ming army mobilized new troops into the battlefield to replace the troops that had fought hard all night.

The fierce battle continues!
The Ming army advances rapidly!
The heavy infantry on both sides slashed and fought fiercely, but from the perspective of the overall battle situation, the Qing army was being pressed back bit by bit.

The battle in the outer city continued for another whole day!

Under the successive attacks of the fresh troops brought in by the Ming army, the outer city was finally completely controlled by the Ming army.

A large number of green camps and strong people were either captured or annihilated by the establishment!

The Eight Banners of the Han Army had no choice but to retreat into the inner city of Guangzhou, preparing to rely on the walls of the inner city to hold on.

Being able to fight fiercely with the Ming army to such an extent shows that the fighting power of the Qing army in this era is really not bad.

……

"My lord governor, what should I do?!"

"What to do!"

Shang Zhijie was completely panicked, and his emotions collapsed.

Nuo Da's outer city lasted less than two days before being breached by the Ming army. How long can the inner city last?
Once the inner city is destroyed, can any of the bannermen in the city survive?

Jin Guangzu also looked ugly, and Zeng Qizhao was also lying on a stretcher, breathing weakly, looking at the flames and thick smoke that ignited from time to time in the outer city...

That was the post-war Ming army burning the corpses of the Qing army and cremating their robes!
Jin Guangzu took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"Stick and wait for help!"

"The Ming army's siege artillery cannot enter the city. If our army dispatches it properly, the inner city should be able to defend!"

"As long as you can persist until the prince leads his troops back to help, the Ming thieves will naturally retreat!"

"The siege of Guangzhou will be over!"

It's not that Jin Guangzu didn't think about surrendering. As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, an important minister of the Qing court, and a big official in the frontier, to a certain extent, he represented the face of the Qing court.

If he chooses to surrender, it is impossible for Daming not to accept him!

Even in order to win people's hearts, Daming spent a lot of money on horse bones, so he might still be able to keep his official position.

However, before he took office as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, his family members were all left in the capital!
As soon as he surrendered to Daming, the Qing court would let him experience the feeling of a whole family going to hell.

Jin Guangzu began to continue to arrange defense.

Shang Zhijie also began to order that the Eight Banners soldiers and healthy women in the city be recruited to help in the battle.

Now the Ding Zhuang under the Pingnan Wang Fan, whether they are flag Ding or Baoyi, are basically recruited.

And suffered heavy losses in the outer city defense battle!

If he wanted to increase his own troops, Shang Zhijie could only use the idea of ​​a healthy woman under the vassal.

……

As soon as the dawn dawned, the Ming army got busy, unloading the tightly sealed clay pots from the transport ship.

Prepare for the siege!

The soldiers and civilians who carried it were very careful in their movements, as if they were afraid of breaking the clay pot if they were not careful.

The artisans accompanying the army began to cut wood outside the city to make simple trebuchets.

Catapults began to be transported into the city from the gaps in the cleared city wall.

These clay pots contain jars of oil, which is fierce fire oil.

Heavy artillery for siege is not easy to enter the city, so Zhu Hongyu is going to use oil as incendiary bombs to attack the city.

In traditional Chinese cities like Guangzhou, the building structures are all made of wood.

In the face of oil production of incendiary bombs to attack the city, it is almost one point at a time.

The effect will definitely not be bad!
As for whether attacking the city with incendiary bombs would accidentally injure the people, Zhu Hongyu said it didn't matter.

Anyway, all the people living in the inner city of Guangzhou are banner people!
Even if Zhu Hongyu died, he wouldn't be heartbroken.

Before officially launching the siege, the Ming army sent an ultimatum to the Qing army who was about to defend the inner city.

The envoys of the Ming army shouted loudly outside the walls of the inner city!
"I am the master of the Ming Dynasty. I set an example for the destiny to conquer the Central Plains in the north and regain the homeland. The people's aspirations and the general trend are the trend. There is no disadvantage in attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold."

"It's just Guangzhou, you can become a fan with a wave of your hand!"
