The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 186 Defeat

The city gate was suddenly knocked open, and the defenders behind looked at this scene in astonishment, and then hurriedly fled towards the city in front of the Ming army.

Some of the captains were overjoyed when they saw this scene.

The other party fled in panic. Now, the city was close at hand.

"Soldiers! The city gate has been breached! Follow me into the city, capture the Kitchen King, and make great achievements today!"

The captains shouted in unison.

"Oh!"

The surrounding soldiers also showed excited expressions. So what if there were countless casualties in Paoze? Who would remember that at the moment they only know that if they take down the Stove King, no, the city is about to be broken. As long as they enter the city, they can receive meritorious deeds.

They rushed towards the city in a swarm.

Without reporting to his men, Chen Qiyu had already seen that the city gate was broken, and his soldiers were already pouring into the city in a steady stream.

"Hahahaha, take down the Stove King, today! Charge for me and try to capture the Stove King alive!"

Chen Qiyu issued an order to capture the Kitchen King alive and then go north to the capital. He would personally escort the Kitchen King to the emperor!

Chen Qiyu seemed to have seen that scene, with a smile on his face.

"Report!"

At this moment, three fast horses came towards Chen Qiyu.

Chen Qiyu's face darkened, knowing that it might not be good news. It was impossible for the other three walls to enter the city before him.

The only news that can come now is bad news.

However, the city gate on the front battlefield has been breached. No matter how bad the news is, the victory is determined.

"Report to the Governor!"

The three soldiers knelt on the ground,

"The troops in the east, north, and south of the city were defeated in all three directions!"

Chen Qiyu's expression darkened. As he expected, the soldiers fled, but fortunately, the front gate had been breached.

"Gather the remaining soldiers and horses, tell them that the city has been destroyed from the front, and let them enter the city from the front!"

Chen Qiyu leaned forward and said that he did not intend to hold these people responsible. The soldiers on the other two sides suffered huge losses. There were only a few people and there were no death row prisoners. It was estimated that about 80% of the troops and horses had been lost. The soldiers in the three directions could It’s a miracle that I’ve persisted until now.

The front can break through the city gate, and the soldiers in the other three directions are indispensable.

"Yes!"

The three soldiers were very surprised that the governor was not angry at all. Last time, the governor was so angry that he almost wanted to eat people.

However, it was probably the news that the front city gate had been breached, so the governor was not too angry when he heard the news that the soldiers were escaping.

The soldiers immediately got on their horses and carried the news to the governors in the other three directions.

Under the city gate, a group of soldiers rushed forward, but when they rushed out of the city gate, they saw a scene that shocked them.

The street in front has been cleared, and only twelve people are staying there. Those twelve people look strange, holding strange things towards the city gate.

"This"

It seems that some soldiers recognized these things.

Like the magic weapon on the top of Kitchen King's city that keeps making loud noises.

And now, there are six of these divine soldiers.

Their forward speed gradually slowed down.

The expression that was still exciting just now gradually stiffened, and the fire burning in his heart also went out.

What great achievements, what great deeds, what capture of the Stove King alive? This life-killing magic weapon is right here, pointing at them.

I don't know who shouted 'Fire. '

Immediately afterwards, the divine soldiers in front made a loud noise.

"Tu tu tu tu."

It was this fatal sound again. Before the soldiers in the first row could react, they felt a pain in their chests and lost consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, there were six Maxim machine guns in the second row, third row, and fourth row. The road to the city gate was narrow, not even five meters away, at such a small distance.

The bullets sprayed by six Maxim machine guns are enough to form a metal storm.

Tear everything in it to pieces.

The soldiers fell down almost instantly. The people behind them were still rushing forward without knowing the situation. The people in front wanted to retreat but had no way.

People kept rushing in, but they were not allowed to get in.

Turned into corpses or even minced meat under the city gate.

On the city wall, Liu Zhenhua watched this scene.

He breathed a sigh of relief. If the soldiers in other directions had not retreated, he would have mobilized these Maxim machine guns. Otherwise, if these people rushed in and entered a hand-to-hand battle, it was still unclear whether they could win.

Even if you win, you will have to pay a heavy price.

But now, the victory has been decided, and the opponent's soldiers are still gathering here, surging towards the city gate.

The news has not spread yet. This is the helplessness of ancient wars. News is delayed.

On the contrary, the governors in the three surrounding directions received news from Chen Qiyu.

"What, the city gate is broken, and the Stove King is so close to being captured alive?"

Qiu Zhaolin had a look of astonishment on his face.

They originally thought that the three reverse attacks had failed, so this siege should have failed, but who knew that the city gate was breached from the front.

As soon as the city gate was broken, soldiers poured in along the city gate. The Kitchen King's defenders were originally few, and the magic soldiers he relied on had to work from a long distance. After entering the city, the Kitchen King was bound to be defeated.

"Don't let him run away. The city has been breached from the front! The governor said, now go to the west city gate to support. Let's forget about the rout!"

Qiu Zhaolin almost roared when he issued this order.

The uneasy adjutants around him beamed with joy when they heard this.

After the soldiers fled, they were very panicked. After all, they would not be able to escape the punishment. It was estimated that the final outcome would not be too pleasant.

But now, Governor Chen actually said that he could forget the past.

They also followed Qiu Zhaolin and shouted to gather the fleeing soldiers.

When the fleeing soldiers heard this, they were stunned and felt a lingering fear in their hearts. They turned out to be deserters, but now they have a solution. Without this sentence, maybe they would have fled directly, or even become thieves.

But now there is room for maneuver.

There was no need for them to flee. The soldiers spread word of mouth and shouted, "The city gate has been broken, enter the city from the front!" '

The chanting was so loud that Liu Zhenhua and the surrounding heavenly soldiers heard it on the top of the city.

Liu Zhenhua turned his head and looked around in astonishment. The city gate was indeed broken, but the current gate was a huge whirlpool, with six Maxim machine guns firing non-stop.

The three Maxim machine guns on the top of the city were also firing.

No matter how many soldiers come here, they will die here.

And these people outside are still rushing in this direction crazily.

The corpses on the ground around him were almost trampled into pulp.

Right now, when the sun is about to set, countless people have died here.

The cruelty of this battle is no less than that of the Ningyuan battle.

That was the first time an enemy of ten thousand people showed up. It was Sun Chuanting's classic battle to defend the city against the Shang Liao people.

That battle was also extremely brutal.

However, the fighting time was much longer than the fighting time here at Liu Zhenhua's place. Geng Ruqi and Geng Zhangguang looked at each other. The father and son knew a lot about the Stove King. When they heard that the city gate was breached, there was an incredulous expression in their eyes.

The Kitchen King was defeated and the city gate was breached?

Is it that simple?

Geng Zhangguang didn't know what he was feeling, and he didn't know whether he wanted the Kitchen King to win or lose.

Chen Qiyu heard the cries around him, "Kitchen King, Kitchen King, you too have today."

Seeing the soldiers pouring towards the city, he felt excited, "Go in!" Victory is ahead, capture the Stove King, and great achievements are waiting for you.

"Report!"

Just when Chen Qiyu was filled with joy.

Another soldier rushed over and knelt directly in front of Chen Qiyu.

"Huh? But the Kitchen King has escaped?"

Chen Qiyu asked hurriedly. The attack on the city from three directions around him had stopped.

There will be no other news coming. At present, only the battle in the main direction of attack is still going on. Now that the city is broken, the defeat of Kitchen King is a foregone conclusion.

The current situation is either that the Kitchen King has escaped or that the Kitchen King is dead. Chen Qiyu still doesn't think that the Kitchen King can die easily, so he asked if it was the Kitchen King who escaped.

The soldier's expression was bleak. He looked up at Chen Qiyu and said, "Report to the governor, the Kitchen King has mobilized all the magic soldiers behind the city gate! After we entered the city, the Kitchen King's magic soldiers were in full force. We suffered heavy casualties and were unable to move forward a step!"

"Right now, the city gate has suffered heavy losses, but the soldiers are still swarming towards the city gate. Those in front are unable to retreat, and those behind are at a loss. The Kitchen King's magic soldiers are blocking the city gate, and there is no way to enter the city!"

"We think that the destruction of Kitchen King's city may be a trap!"

As the soldier spoke, he almost burst into tears.

When Chen Qiyu heard this, such a transition between joy and sorrow made his eyes darken and he almost fainted.

Just now, I was still imagining whether the Kitchen King had escaped, or even been caught or killed, but now this news came.

Moreover, the soldiers were saying that the city's destruction seemed to be the Kitchen King's trap.

However, Chen Qiyu knew that this was not a trap, but just a coincidence.

"Trash, a bunch of rubbish! What a failure!"

Chen Qiyu's face was full of anger, but the city was broken. The Kitchen King was bound to fail. However, the siege soldiers from other directions fled, and the Kitchen King was able to gather all the magic soldiers in one place!

The city was so open, and their soldiers attacked and suffered so many casualties.

The city gate is narrow and the soldiers can enter it. Chen Qiyu also knows how powerful the Kitchen King's magic weapons are. The terrain gives the Kitchen King's magic weapons a huge space to display.

This is why his soldiers have difficulty advancing.

Everything was due to the defeat of the soldiers in the other three directions.

"Send the order, withdraw the troops! Fall back to Qingyang!"

Chen Qiyu's face became even more angry. How many soldiers turned into withered bones. He could have been comforted by the victory, but the battle failed because other governor's soldiers fled!

He wants to ask questions! He wants to report the whole thing to the emperor!

"My strategy is right! This failure was all because other governors were unfavorable in supervising the battle!"

Chen Qiyu's eyes were red.

After receiving the governor's order to withdraw, the soldiers immediately turned around and spread the news.

The soldiers outside the city finally stopped rushing towards the city.

When the other governors heard this order, they suddenly looked shocked. Wasn't the city broken? Why did they retreat? However, when they received the news from their respective subordinates, their expressions suddenly became panicked. All smart people had guessed it.

The Kitchen King probably gathered all the divine soldiers from the other three directions in front.

And all this is because they lost too early!

This allowed the Kitchen King to free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with the soldiers coming from the west gate!

"It's over!"

Some governors thought that how could they afford such a big sin?

If Emperor Chongzhen investigates their crimes, they may be stripped of their official positions.

They knew what happened to the previous governor of the three sides. All nine tribes were exiled.

Some governors looked bitter.

There is nothing they can do.

I just hope that Governor Chen will not notice this, or that he can take all the blame.

Let Emperor Chongzhen not blame them.

Geng Zhangguang and Geng Ruxi also thought of this, but they did not think that they were to blame.

They had tried their best, and their soldiers had held on until 80% of their soldiers were dead before they were defeated. If it hadn't been for the main attack direction, there would have been a large number of death row prisoners, and there was nothing that could explode on the road.

He will never be able to break through the city gate from the front, and defeat will happen sooner or later.

For now, we just wait to see what the governor thinks.

Will all the blame be placed on them?

"Withdraw troops!"

"Withdraw troops!"

The army retreated hastily. On the wall behind them, the three Maxim machine guns had stopped firing.

Liu Zhenhua did not beat up the drowned dog. These soldiers might join their team in the future.

"The sacrifice is too big!"

"It seems that we have to find a way to directly break their fighting spirit in other ways."

Liu Zhenhua thought to himself that the weather is getting hotter now.

After all, it snowed a few times in winter. If it gets hotter today, the drought will be even more serious.

It affects not only the people, but also these soldiers!

To put it bluntly, Liu Zhenhua hopes that the famine will be more severe so that he can maximize his abilities.

Of course, he did not expect the famine to become more and more serious. He could change the course of history, but there was no way to change this weather disaster.

"When the time comes, we will directly change the Heavenly Soldier Dinner, and combine public opinion warfare and information warfare to try to be as bloodless as possible."

Liu Zhenhua looked at the corpses under the city. These were all laborers.

A lot of young people died like this!

"Leave the city and clean the battlefield."

The weather is getting hot, and if these corpses are not handled properly, plague will easily appear.

"plague."

Liu Zhenhua suddenly frowned. He seemed to remember something. There were constant disasters during the Chongzhen period, and there seemed to be some kind of plague.

It even left nine out of ten rooms in Tianjin’s capital.

Liu Zhenhua shook his head and did not think about this matter. If there was really a plague, it would not affect Shaanxi.

The more chaotic the capital is, the more advantageous it is for Liu Zhenhua at present.

Qingyang Mansion.

There was mourning everywhere, and the soldiers were all downcast.

They suffered a huge defeat.

Inside the Governor's Mansion.

The atmosphere was solemn.

Chen Qiyu's anger did not disappear with the passage of time, but became more and more swollen. To describe it in one sentence, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
