Chapter 451 He wants us to be buried with him!
"Launch." Xu Zhi'an picked up the walkie-talkie and said.

"Roger that!"

A reply came from the walkie-talkie, and then several cannons fired at the same time, and the shells roared towards the south gate of Thang Long.

Boom~
Due to the long distance, only one of the several artillery pieces hit the city gate accurately.

But when the gunpowder smoke cleared, the city gate was not opened as expected.

"It seems that what Zheng Guang said is correct. The south gate is indeed sealed. Let's attack the north gate." Zheng Zhilong looked into the distance and said.

"To be on the safe side, let's take a look at the city gates on the east and west sides." Xu Zhi'an nodded, agreed with Zheng Zhilong's statement, and then ordered his subordinates:

"Check the situation of the east and west gates. If they are also sealed, we will meet directly outside the north gate."

"Yes!"

Then, they took the Chuyang Type II and carried out tentative attacks on the east and west gates respectively, only to find that, as Zheng Guang said, all three gates had been sealed.So all their troops gathered outside the north city gate, ready to attack the city.

Their actions were naturally seen by Zheng Jun in the city.

But even though they knew that the enemy was testing, no one had the courage to say a word and go out of the city to meet the enemy.

They were all terrified of being beaten, and everyone was praying. If they could keep their guard one day longer, maybe some miracle would happen?

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Shenglong was captured, they would not necessarily die.

Daming tried his best to capture Shenglong, nothing more than wanting Jiaozhi to return to Daming's territory.

In this case, it must be governed by officials, and the people who are most familiar with Cochin are naturally officials like them.This has precedents in the changes of dynasties. As long as you surrender, you can gain hope of survival.Even live better.Therefore, the Zheng family may have to die, they are the officials.
Not necessarily!

No matter how impassioned Zheng Bing's pre-war mobilization was, no matter how enthusiastic everyone's response was, it would not change the fact that a large number of people would kneel and surrender after the Ming army entered the city.

"Zheng Zuo, remember, no matter what, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. Do you understand what I mean?" Zheng Bing said to his eldest son with a calm face, watching the Ming army constantly gathering outside the city.

"Father, I understand!"

"here we go."

Zheng Bing watched the Ming army pull out ten pitch-black cannons, and said with a wry smile.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, the artillery of the Ming army rang out.

He first saw the fireworks at the muzzle, and when he heard the explosion again, the shells had already exploded on the city walls and walls.

It was okay to hit the city wall. Although a groove was blown out of the city wall, it did not cause damage to the main body of the city wall.The lethality caused by hitting the top of the city was terrifying. Within twenty or thirty steps to the left of the shell explosion, there were basically no soldiers who could stand.

This is the first round of shelling, but it certainly won't be the last.

Every time a cannon was fired, the Ming army advanced a certain distance, followed by mortars, and then the Chuyang Type [-].

In short, by the time the Ming army appeared one mile away from the north gate of Thang Long, there was no one standing on the city wall.

As for Zheng Bing, he withdrew from the city wall as early as the second round of shelling.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the city wall at this time looked like a mess.

The Ming army stood outside the city without any resistance.

As long as the city gate is blown open, this fortified city will fall into the hands of Daming, as for the Zheng family, it will also be completely wiped out.

"Blow open the city gates. Shout out to them to leave the city and surrender."

"Don't go in?"

"Don't go in. I'm not in the mood to fight street fights with these rats, which will only increase casualties." Xu Zhi'an said with a sneer.

At such a short distance, the artillery will naturally not miss again.

A big hole was blown out of the city gate. Although they were so far apart, exclamations and faint cries could still be heard inside the city.

Following Xu Zhi'an's order, the soldiers shouted loudly into the city:
"People in the city listen, if you go out of the city and surrender, you will die if you resist!"

The voices of tens of thousands of people gathered in the sky above Shenglong City, and the soldiers and common people in the city all showed expressions of distress.

"What are they talking about?"

"do not know!"

Most people can't understand Chinese, but it is enough for some people to understand it.

"The Ming army asked us to leave the city and surrender!"

"Surrender!? Then don't you have to let them kill you?"

"Isn't it now?"

Zheng Bing, who was organizing soldiers in the city and was planning to fight to the end, had a gloomy face. Looking at the soldiers with different expressions, he panicked for a while.

"Zheng Kai, lead people to guard the vicinity of the city gate. If you want to go out of the city to join the enemy, you will be regarded as rebels and will be killed without mercy!"

"Brother, this..." Zheng Kai hesitated. It's already this time, and if he still thinks about using force to suppress it, I'm afraid it will only be counterproductive, right?

"Do as I say!"

Seeing Zheng Bing's resolute attitude, Zheng Kai sighed and led the people to the direction of the city gate.

He led people to guard the city gate, so no one would run out.

The Ming army's shouting lasted three times, with a certain interval in between.

But no people or soldiers came out of the city.

"Bomb!"

Xu Zhi'an gave the order coldly.

Then, all kinds of artillery bombarded Thang Long City indiscriminately, and a large number of bombs fell on houses and streets.At every moment, soldiers and civilians died, and screams and wailing echoed in the city.

The bombardment lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before stopping at Xu Zhi'an's signal.

"Keep shouting, don't surrender, continue bombing!"

"Yes!"

So the soldiers started shouting again, the same line just now.

After the bombing just now, the mood of the people in the city was very different when they heard the shouting again.

Mingren didn't just talk about it, he really planned to kill those who didn't surrender.

All of a sudden, there was chaos in the city, and the people rushed out of the city one after another.

How could Zheng Kai, who got the order, let him go, and began to take the lead in killing the people who were about to escape.

But this move did not achieve the expected effect, but aroused public anger, and even the soldiers under him began to feel a little out of control.Some soldiers even deliberately let go of the civilians who wanted to flee.

Zheng Kai chopped down several people in succession, but found that no one around him followed him to attack, he was stunned for a moment and then stopped.

Looking at the crowds around him, he gave a wry smile and turned sideways.

"Since I can't stop it, anyone who wants to go can go."

He planned to let these people out of the city, but at this moment, Zheng Bing led people over.

"What are you doing? Why are you letting them go!?"

"Brother, me!"

"Bastard!"

Zheng Bing slapped Zheng Kai on the face.

"I'll say it again, who dares to leave the city! Kill without mercy!"

Zheng Bing had a ferocious face, holding a steel knife in his hand, looking like he wanted to choose someone to kill.

If it were in the past, he might change his face and someone would be so scared that they could not sleep, but at this moment of life and death, who can care about whom?

"The Generalissimo wants us to be buried with him!"

In the crowd, someone shouted, and everyone's eyes on Zheng Bing changed.
