Win the Ding 1617
Chapter 77 Hue!Hue!
()grateful!On the selection of the new book, nothing else, seven thousand words are sent.
The ninth day of June in the third year of Apocalypse.clear.
Ruan Fuming listened carefully to the sound of cannons coming from a distance in the city tower.
Beginning in the morning, the soldiers at the head of the city of Hue were surprised to find that there were almost twice as many artillery positions under the city, and the artillery fire started as soon as the sun came out.
The 24-pound solid bullets fired by the five steel cannons acted as the main force to destroy the city.Fiery cannonballs rushed towards the city wall and the city tower arbitrarily, or destroyed the fortifications on the city wall, or drove the officers out of the city tower, so that they had to meet twelve soldiers on the top of the city wall. The arrival of the pounder's shrapnel.
The shrapnel fired by the [-]-pound gun, under the control of those gunners who have been instructed and initially mastered the method of aiming and firing at close positions, has become an excellent weapon for killing and wounding the people at the top of the city, and people dare not show their faces at the top of the city. , and didn't even dare to expose his body near the gap that might be discovered by the city.You can only try your best to get close to the ground, dragging the soil bags one by one with your body to fill the gaps. Sometimes, before a soil bag is dropped, when a shell comes over, people become the material to fill the gaps.
After the first round of artillery fire, the artillery shells gradually became sparse. Based on the two 24-pound cannons, a dozen [-]-pound copper cannons were arranged around it to suppress and monitor the city. shoot.
The people under the city began to slowly move towards the moat.
Their marching route happened to be facing the range of the city wall that was suppressed and blocked by artillery fire.
Soldiers from the Guards Phoenix Battalion added a few six-pound cannons by the moat, set up red and green signal flags to communicate with the artillery team, and began to monitor and shoot the top of the city.
The soldiers of the Iron Shoulders escorted the captives who had traveled east along the way, and drove them to transport the straw bags filled with soil to the moat, and threw the straw bags into the river water that was not so deep. Gradually, the people in the river bed The straw bags overflowed the river, the center of the riverbed, and the other side of the moat.
"My lord! What should I do?" Looking at the passages gradually forming in the middle of the river, several teams were anxious. If this continues, the only barrier, the moat, will no longer be a barrier.
Before Mr. Guan Qi could react, there was a loud and piercing sound of horns and a shout, and the Zixin army carrying the yellow flag began to rush towards the city wall carrying a ladder.
Also from Annan, as a former soldier of the Ruan family from the New Army, in the eyes of the defenders on the top of the city, he looked like a wolf and a tiger.Their crazy eyes and ferocious expressions made the defenders at the top of the city tremble a little.
Seeing the approaching assault formation, Master Guan Qi woke up like a dream, "Quick! Get ready for the wood! Sheep's head stone! Also, artillery!" While yelling at the troops to enter the position, he dragged the The confidant team led, "Go to Ximen quickly, report the situation here to the third prince, and tell him that we need his artillery support. He has a lot of artillery, even if we transfer a few of them first, we will be much better off!"
Looking down from the city, the flags and troops of the new army seemed to be boundless. From the moat to the foot of the city wall, on the wide south front of the city, the three city gates were attacked almost at the same time.
Ruan Jun on the city hurriedly pushed the lumber, sheep's head stone, ramming pole, wolf tooth beater, Lei Yiye and many other defensive equipment to the edge of the crenel, waiting for the Zixin army to enter the city.
As the new army got closer, the artillery at the top of the city began to fight back. Smoke rose from the top of the city, and shells danced among the crowd below the city. Wherever they went, there were endless screams.Although most of the cannons on the top of the city are small cannons of about six pounds, they are superior to occupying the advantage of the terrain, and there is no need to aim, just fire at the densely populated places below the city.
Cannonballs weighing about one catty rolled in the crowd, knocking people's heads and limbs apart, and blood, brains, and other unknown liquids splashed in the crowd.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the self-renewal army under the city tried their best to erect the long bamboo ladder and put it down towards the city wall.The people on the city swung their ramming poles vigorously, knocking down the long ladder trying to get close to the city wall.
All of a sudden, shouts, shelling, wailing and groaning of the wounded, and shouts and cursing of fighting intersected with each other from above and below the city.
"You are also from Annan! Why do you serve as lackeys for the Ming people!" In Ruan Phuc's works, his martyrs justly accused those traitors of the motherland.
"Fuck you! I'm an upright Tomorrow Army! You rebels! If you're sensible, surrender quickly! Lest you lose your life!"
The city and the city kept scolding and shouting at each other. Gradually, since the first wave of the new army's offensive, it failed after leaving hundreds of dead bodies and more than 200 wounded.
When the retreating people had just passed the moat, the cannons behind them began to speak again.
Although the city of Hue is built with bricks and stones, it has gradually declined under the repeated blows of 24-pound and 24-pound cannons.no way.In addition to the five 24-pound cannons, there were more than [-] [-]-pound cannons and dozens of [-]-pound cannons under the city. In total, nearly a hundred artillery pieces bombarded the southern city wall.Moreover, the artillery has a regular division of labor according to the size of the caliber. The [-]-pounder ran to attack the middle of the city wall, the [-]-pounder bombarded the position below the crenel of the city wall, and the [-]-pounder was used to deal with all life on the top of the city.
Amidst the gunfire, the team that had asked for help from Ruan Phuc came back scrambling.
"Where's the artillery?!" Having suffered enough from the artillery fire in the city, Lord Guan Qi hoped for artillery reinforcements.
"My lord! The third son said that outside the west gate, the Ming army has hundreds of cannons arrayed there, and they dare not send artillery to our place, for fear that the Ming army will take the opportunity to attack the city. He allocated two teams of troops to us, let us hold onto!"
"Fart! Until now, there hasn't been a single cannon fired in the west city. What else is he talking about?! The number of people who died here far exceeds the two teams!" Mr. Guan Qi waved the sword in his hand, with a murderous look on his face, It seemed that the team leader in front of him was Ruan Fuming himself.
"Quick! Take the troops you brought to the fort, hand over the yellow fort to them to guard, and the rest of the people retreat to the tower!"
"My lord," said the team leader with a very embarrassed expression, "people on the road said that they had to rest for about an hour when they ran all the way and were exhausted. Therefore, they had to rest in the city first. If there is anything to do, we can talk about it in an hour. "
"My mother's pineapples and small bananas!" No matter how well-mannered Master Guan Qi is, he couldn't help but lose his temper. It's only a few miles from Xicheng to here. Bragging about how brave you are, but now you have to rest under the city? !
"Could it be?!" Suddenly, Guan Qi remembered that terrible thought, "The third son really wants it?!" He didn't dare to think about it. Fighting openly and secretly, it is well known, between the palace, for the sake of power and status, there is no family loyalty at all.
"In order to raise his price, he deliberately made us fight to the death. He took our lives to bargain with the general of the Ming Dynasty?"
Suddenly, the artillery fire under the city became extremely violent.
Group after group of solid shells and shrapnel shells were pushed out of the barrel by gunpowder, bombarding the city wall and sweeping away the lives on the city.Under the fierce artillery fire, almost no one dared to stand straight at the top of the city.Even so, there were still many people who were pierced by the shrapnel shells fired by the eight-pound gun and fell to the top of the city screaming, or were smashed by the gravel blown up by the twelve-pound gun on the crenels of the city wall. Brick killed and wounded.Several forts on the top of the city struggled to fight back under the fierce yelling and scolding led by Guan Qihe, but after all, the number of artillery pieces was small, and the medicine was not as powerful as the artillery pieces of the Nanzhong Army.The most important thing is that he is not like Li Shouhan, who carried out artillery shooting training with almost free gunpowder.The effect of artillery counterattack is naturally conceivable.
The sparse artillery shells did not have the effect just now in the crowd, and the morale of the charging people became more and more high in the face of the artillery fire. "Brothers, go! The general has an order! Our army breaks through the city first, and then we can rest in the city for a whole day!! Fill it!"
A long ladder leaned against the top of the city, and the besiegers began to attach themselves to the city.
The cannons below the city also began to bombard the top of the city, ignoring the people on the long ladder. People were constantly hit by stones thrown from the top of the city or by Lei Yiye, and fell down at the foot of the city wall screaming. What's more unlucky, the whole long ladder was knocked down by the pole, and a series of people came into close contact with the ground together with the long ladder.Leaving behind a pile of flesh and blood that cannot be separated from each other.
It's like this under the city, but it's not much better above the city.Under the heavy rain of bullets from eight-pound guns, the soldiers of the Ruan Army had just thrown the sheep's head stone on the head of the soldier of the New Army. Immediately afterwards, one or several rounds of shotgun pierced his body, and he was hit by the huge impact. He twisted his body and flew out.
"Go! Pull those two teams up for me! If you don't come up, bring me the heads of the team!" Lord Guan Qi looked at the siege team that was still mad at the city, and felt chills in his heart , he knows what the rest integer ri in these populations means.
It's not that he hasn't done these things before. He slaughtered other people's villages and towns, disbanded the army for a few days, and let the soldiers go free to rape and plunder. He can also take the opportunity to make a fortune.However, now that it was his turn, it was absolutely impossible.
My new concubine, and the concubine's timid, fresh and tender younger sister.How can you moan subtly under someone else's crotch? !
hold on!Must hold on!
Indistinctly, there were gunfire from the east and north, and the shouts hovered over the city. It seemed that the bloody smell had already traversed the entire city. The city seemed to be immersed in this pool of blood. Fishy sweetness.
Only the west of the city was still dead silent.
"Li Shouhan, you are trying to punish me to death!"
Ruan Phuc hid behind the crenels of the city wall and looked down the city through the eyes of arrows. On the other side of the moat, there were hundreds of cannons lined up impressively.One by one, the gunners with their chests and stomachs folded, holding matchlocks and brushes, lined up in their respective battle positions.
Behind the artillery positions lined up in a line, there are dozens of military flags.Behind the military flag, there are neat square formations. From the logo on the flag, it can be seen, "Jianwei left battalion, Jinwei right battalion, Jinwei middle battalion, Jinwei Phoenix left battalion, Jinwei Qilin battalion right. "
Behind him, Guan Qi Lisun, his confidant, came up, "Your Highness, I have counted, and there are nearly four hundred cannons, large and small."
In Nancheng, it was just a troop from the new army, and it was still fighting to the sky. One Buddha passed away and two Buddhas were born, while Ximen's here is one of the best elites in the Nanzhong Army. No gun fired, no shot fired.
"Also, the palace has sent someone again. The envoy invites you to go over and receive the order."
From the beginning of the Nanzhong Army's attack, the envoys in the palace were like Liu Shuijie.From urging him to try his best to defend the city, to ordering him to deploy troops to support the fierce fighting at the south gate, there are various reasons.However, every time the envoys came to announce the decree, seeing that there was no fighting between the two sides in the west city, and there were no casualties between the two sides, the expressions of the envoys all changed.
I don't know what purpose this messenger came to announce?
If I had known about Li Shouhan's methods, why did I need him to agree to inherit my father's official position?It's a good thing now, I didn't eat the mutton, which made my whole body smelly!
After stuffing an ingot of red gold to the envoy who came to pass the decree, the envoy bowed his hands to Ruan Fuming with a smile, "Third Highness, our army won the first battle today, and the king wishes to reward all the soldiers of the army. I have sent a special minister to invite you. Your Highness will follow me into the city, and there will be a family banquet in the palace. Before the banquet, the king will discuss with your highnesses and generals how to reward the soldiers of the various armies. Please, please go with your ministers." <Face of the wind, Ruan Fuming suddenly felt back pain chills.
The envoy was still there with a lot of tongue, and suddenly felt a pain in his back. He looked down and saw a sharp knife point dripping blood on his chest.On the robe, the bloodstains are constantly expanding.
Li Duan raised his right foot, kicked the emissary over, pulled out his sword, and rubbed it on his robe, "Your Highness, my lord wants you to go to the palace. I'm afraid it's a bad luck, so I'll be bold. My lord, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Looking at the envoy who was still twitching on the ground, he looked down the city at the densely packed artillery emplacements, including twelve-pounders, eight-pounders, six-pounders, and more than a dozen rockets.He couldn't help gritting his teeth, "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!" He silently read his father's name in his heart.
"Are you willing to follow me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to the command of General Li of the Ming Dynasty?" He stared at each officer under him one by one with blood-red eyes.
Following his words, Le Duan waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed to surround the officers present.The swords and spears in their hands pointed directly at the chests, abdomens and heads of the officers.
"Are you willing to follow me to General Li?" Ruan Fuming asked again.
"You! Answer your Highness's words!" Le Duan pointed at the officer with the sword in his hand.
"I, I, I...Ah!" The officer made a promise, and Le Duan raised his chin. A soldier had already raised his spear and pierced the officer's chest armor. The three soldiers joined forces and pulled His body was picked up, picked over the heads of the crowd, and thrown onto the horse path of the city wall, and the body rolled down along the horse path.
"Are you willing to follow me?" Ruan Fuming asked for the third time. This time, his voice was much softer, but in the ears of those uncertain officers, it sounded like an evil ghost cursed by Shura,
There was a quick-witted one who hurriedly ignored the troubles and knelt down on the ground, "Subordinates are willing to follow His Highness, and turn to the light!" Those who take the lead will naturally be able to deal with it, and the rest who are hesitant will immediately do so. Hastily knelt down and said to His Royal Highness that we have long wanted to go to the light.
"Order all the battalions, except for a team of people at the top of the city, to go down to the city to gather and go to the royal city to escort! In addition, throw the flags from the top of the city down to the city, and all the artillery positions will be charged inward. Everyone is strange, Follow His Highness to the Royal City to escort him. Li Duan, you open the two city gates to welcome the Great Ming Army into the city!"
When the two city gates of Xiguan were slowly opened, Ye Qi was at the intersection of Xiguan and Nanguan with several battalion officers, and they were watching the scene of the new army attacking the city with their own soldiers.
I saw people fighting life and death on the city wall, and from the top of the city and the long ladder, people kept screaming and falling down.The battalion officers of each battalion could not help but gasp, "No wonder my lord let these self-renewal troops take the lead!"
In fact, the purpose of letting the new army take the lead is not limited to this.
"Send people to the artillery department and order them not to worry about casualties and shells, just fire at the top of the city, as long as there is no red flag of our army on the top of the city, keep firing!"
According to Shou Han's original intention, he planned to use the opportunity of this fortified battle to practice the tactical essentials and connection of the infantry and artillery coordination of the troops through the attack of the new army, but the battle was turned into such a stalemate.
"Tell Ruan Bida that after the city is broken, except for temples, schools, and residents with red flags hanging or red paper pasted on the door, they can choose to stay in other places!"
The two different orders were like adding another handful of dry wood to the already frenzied air on the battlefield, and then pouring gasoline on the dry wood.The besiegers yelled and yelled again, carrying long ladders, holding knives and guns, rushing towards the city wall, ignoring that the ground under their feet was already covered with corpses and wounded soldiers, shells were whistling around, and shotguns were constantly coming from their ears , overhead, and passing by, the comrades around him kept groaning, and were hit by broken bricks and rocks blown up by shotguns or solid bullets, and fell to the ground.However, the desire to make a fortune after entering the city still makes people desperately move forward.
You can't go to temples, that's where gods and Buddhas are, and you can't go to schools, that's where scholars are.Residential houses with red paper and red flags are not allowed to go, they are residents who have surrendered. However, official residences at all levels, yamen, and the huge royal city have accumulated countless wealth, gold and silver!
"Wan Sheng!"
"mighty!"
Waves of loud cheers came from Xiguan.
"Son of a son of a bitch! Ruan Fuming dedicated the city!" Huge cheers came from Xiguan.
"Son of a bitch! Ruan Fuming dedicated the city!" The thing that Mr. Guan Qi had been worrying about finally happened. What should I do? What should I do?Should he fight desperately at the top of the city and serve the Ruan family, or, like Ruan Fuming, abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and go to General Li of the Ming Dynasty?
Just when Mr. Guan Qi was tangled in his heart, and the two thoughts in his mind were constantly fighting, the people on the top of the city heard a more soul-stirring voice.
"Brothers in the city, open the city gate, we are all one family, let's make a fortune together!" The self-renewal army below the city, all smiling, lined up in places where bows, arrows and muskets could not reach, shouting neatly.The sound wave was higher than the wave, and the sound seemed to be a greater threat to the defenders at the top of the city than the artillery just now.
"Brothers in the city, if we open the city gate, will you kill us?" A defender boldly asked.
"Brother in the city, if I don't have bad eyesight, is your surname Wu?" Ruan Bida, the leader of the Zixin Army, answered him holding a big trumpet made of white copper.
"I am Ruan Bida, the leader of the new army under the command of General Li Da, the president of the Southern Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty. Not long ago, I fought against the general Ruan Fuming in Rili. It is said that I have committed a serious crime, but now you see, I am not only fine, but also promoted. official!"
"That's right! We all surrendered to the general! If you are smart, surrender quickly, otherwise, wait a while, and the army will enter the city, and it will be too late if you want to surrender!"
For a while, the new army took advantage of their connections and launched a heart-to-heart war against the defenders in the city who called their friends and brothers.
"Kaesong! Kaesong! Kaesong!" In an instant, Lord Guan Qi heard the shouts of killing coming from near the west gate, and the idea of fighting for himself completely killed the idea of being a loyal minister.
Dozens of long ladders approached the top of the city again. This time, the people on the top of the city no longer stretched out the sharpness of weapons, but warm hands, "I'll give you a hand!"
"Okay, brother, let's go down to the city quickly, we're late, all the good things were taken away by the guards commanded by Ye!"
The military flag of the Ruan family was ripped off and thrown into the pile of dead people below the city. In its place, the yellow flag of the New Army was planted.Seeing the yellow flag fluttering over the city of Hue, Ye Qi and the battalion officers around him couldn't help showing a smile. Hue, this city lying on the southward road of the South China Army, this big nail has finally become a big nail. A part of the war machine of the Nanzhong Army!
Seeing the crowd of motley colors forming a torrent rushing down the city, Ye Qi, who was sitting on the bench, let out a long breath and wrote a five-character poem in her mouth.
"Tired battles are not empty, and the mountains and rivers are different.
At the place where the whip is thrown and the flow is cut off, the first peak of Wushan Mountain,
Mao Feng is not a matter of today, oil rain is waiting for Zhelong.
Only worry about the sword in the waist, and the Yuntai first remembers the merits. "
Just as Ye Qi was thinking about how her new work would be smooth and rhyme, there was a guy next to him who was disturbing the scenery.
"My lord." Huang Shi An crossed his arms and saluted, "Can we enter the city?"
Ye Qi raised her head and looked to the left and right. To the west, the troops of the Guards Battalion had already taken control of the west city, and about one battalion of troops was rapidly advancing along the city wall to the south city, sweeping away the stragglers who tried to resist stubbornly along the way.
The brigade is entering the city along the two gates of the west city, taking over various yamen and government treasuries, controlling the security of the residential areas in the city, and preventing bandits, hooligans and rout troops from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.
But there was some confusion at the south gate, since the soldiers of the new army.It turned out that the soldiers of the Ruan family were mixed together, and their respective commanders couldn't restrain them. Instead, they were swept away by the flow of people and rushed towards the city.Soon, several fires broke out in the city.
"Send people to quickly control the outer city, and all government offices, treasuries, temples, ancestral halls, etc. in the city must be preserved intact."
Soon, around the inner city, which is the so-called Ruan Family King City, flags of the South China Army began to fly side by side.
Not only near the royal city, but also on the northeast and west sides of the Bell and Drum Tower, that is, almost the entire city of Hue, is flying the banner of the South China Army.
Organized resistance in the city has ceased, but the killing continues...
In the mid-air of the Guanxiang inside the south gate, flames were everywhere, and the houses on both sides of the street were still burning.Bricks, stones and tiles fell to the ground on the street, dead bodies were everywhere on the street, and many people who were seriously injured and still alive were moaning.The blood flowed on the ground, freezing into ice.There are also dead bodies leaning against the wall, and the wall is also stained with blood.All kinds of clothes and belongings were scattered on the ground, which looked shocking.In the urban areas leading from the south gate to the inner city, especially in those urban streets where there are no red flags or red papers flying at the gates, there are sounds of knocking on doors, shouting, crying, things being broken, women The howls and groans of men.
Soon, the crowd entering the city from the south gate came to the inner city. It was unknown whether it was because of panic or negligence, but a gate of the inner city was not closed!A group of soldiers from the New Army and the original Ruan family who rushed here looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw surprise, ecstasy, and fear.
"Never mind! We are behind the Ming army, so what if there is an ambush? Be bold and be king! Brothers! Enter the palace! Get rich!"
"Oh! Enter the palace! Get rich!"
"Damn! I want to sleep with my mother!"
"Empress, you deserve it too?! That's reserved for the general! It's enough for us to sleep with a maid or something!"
People were yelling at each other.encouraged.Like a flash flood, it rushed into the royal city.
Along the wide stone paved road, people rushed into the royal city.
On both sides of Yong Road, there are trees such as pines, cypresses, spruces, etc. At the end of the road, there is a platform, commonly known as Danchi, paved with polished bluestone, with gilded incense burners, big tripods, and cranes on the left and right.Danchi is surrounded by white marble railings on three sides, and Yunlong column heads, which are exquisitely carved.In front of the platform are seven stone steps.The five buildings covered with yellow glazed tiles obviously violated the regulations, and there are dozens of vermilion columns that cannot be embraced by one person. Below the buildings are three parallel red lacquer gates, and there are corridors, bell towers and drum towers on both sides of the courtyard.
In the square in the middle of the courtyard, many people have gathered, all of whom are Ruan Phuc's subordinates.Along the Yonglu Road to the building with yellow glazed tiles, there are many corpses lying here and there, most of the male corpses are guards in the palace, and there are also a few eunuchs who have been stabbed bloody by various weapons. Lying on the ground; most of the female corpses were in some remote corners, with naked or lower body naked, obviously they were abused to death when they broke the city.
"Quick! Where is the seal?!" A voice shouted in the crowd.
His so-called seals are many seals issued by the Zheng family to Ruan Fuyuan in the name of Emperor Li, including the two water step battalions of temperance in Hue and the chief minister of Pingzhang Military and State Affairs Tai Fu. These seals can be used to prove that Ruan Fuyuan legal status of the home.Naturally, it is the biggest trophy that can be used to contribute to the South China Army.
It was Ruan Youyi, Ruan Fuyuan's confidant, who was being questioned.
"Being against my father and my son, how dare you ask me where my seal is?" Ruan Youyi, who was already covered in blood, had the air of a subjugated official.
However, the rioters around didn't care about these things. Their eyes were fixed on those golden and shining things, as well as those trembling beauties hiding in corners and hiding places.
Finally, someone in the crowd shouted, "Grab it!"
People's desires were ignited by this shout.
The looting and killing of the royal city began.
Continue to ask for clicks to recommend collections and evaluations.
The ninth day of June in the third year of Apocalypse.clear.
Ruan Fuming listened carefully to the sound of cannons coming from a distance in the city tower.
Beginning in the morning, the soldiers at the head of the city of Hue were surprised to find that there were almost twice as many artillery positions under the city, and the artillery fire started as soon as the sun came out.
The 24-pound solid bullets fired by the five steel cannons acted as the main force to destroy the city.Fiery cannonballs rushed towards the city wall and the city tower arbitrarily, or destroyed the fortifications on the city wall, or drove the officers out of the city tower, so that they had to meet twelve soldiers on the top of the city wall. The arrival of the pounder's shrapnel.
The shrapnel fired by the [-]-pound gun, under the control of those gunners who have been instructed and initially mastered the method of aiming and firing at close positions, has become an excellent weapon for killing and wounding the people at the top of the city, and people dare not show their faces at the top of the city. , and didn't even dare to expose his body near the gap that might be discovered by the city.You can only try your best to get close to the ground, dragging the soil bags one by one with your body to fill the gaps. Sometimes, before a soil bag is dropped, when a shell comes over, people become the material to fill the gaps.
After the first round of artillery fire, the artillery shells gradually became sparse. Based on the two 24-pound cannons, a dozen [-]-pound copper cannons were arranged around it to suppress and monitor the city. shoot.
The people under the city began to slowly move towards the moat.
Their marching route happened to be facing the range of the city wall that was suppressed and blocked by artillery fire.
Soldiers from the Guards Phoenix Battalion added a few six-pound cannons by the moat, set up red and green signal flags to communicate with the artillery team, and began to monitor and shoot the top of the city.
The soldiers of the Iron Shoulders escorted the captives who had traveled east along the way, and drove them to transport the straw bags filled with soil to the moat, and threw the straw bags into the river water that was not so deep. Gradually, the people in the river bed The straw bags overflowed the river, the center of the riverbed, and the other side of the moat.
"My lord! What should I do?" Looking at the passages gradually forming in the middle of the river, several teams were anxious. If this continues, the only barrier, the moat, will no longer be a barrier.
Before Mr. Guan Qi could react, there was a loud and piercing sound of horns and a shout, and the Zixin army carrying the yellow flag began to rush towards the city wall carrying a ladder.
Also from Annan, as a former soldier of the Ruan family from the New Army, in the eyes of the defenders on the top of the city, he looked like a wolf and a tiger.Their crazy eyes and ferocious expressions made the defenders at the top of the city tremble a little.
Seeing the approaching assault formation, Master Guan Qi woke up like a dream, "Quick! Get ready for the wood! Sheep's head stone! Also, artillery!" While yelling at the troops to enter the position, he dragged the The confidant team led, "Go to Ximen quickly, report the situation here to the third prince, and tell him that we need his artillery support. He has a lot of artillery, even if we transfer a few of them first, we will be much better off!"
Looking down from the city, the flags and troops of the new army seemed to be boundless. From the moat to the foot of the city wall, on the wide south front of the city, the three city gates were attacked almost at the same time.
Ruan Jun on the city hurriedly pushed the lumber, sheep's head stone, ramming pole, wolf tooth beater, Lei Yiye and many other defensive equipment to the edge of the crenel, waiting for the Zixin army to enter the city.
As the new army got closer, the artillery at the top of the city began to fight back. Smoke rose from the top of the city, and shells danced among the crowd below the city. Wherever they went, there were endless screams.Although most of the cannons on the top of the city are small cannons of about six pounds, they are superior to occupying the advantage of the terrain, and there is no need to aim, just fire at the densely populated places below the city.
Cannonballs weighing about one catty rolled in the crowd, knocking people's heads and limbs apart, and blood, brains, and other unknown liquids splashed in the crowd.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the self-renewal army under the city tried their best to erect the long bamboo ladder and put it down towards the city wall.The people on the city swung their ramming poles vigorously, knocking down the long ladder trying to get close to the city wall.
All of a sudden, shouts, shelling, wailing and groaning of the wounded, and shouts and cursing of fighting intersected with each other from above and below the city.
"You are also from Annan! Why do you serve as lackeys for the Ming people!" In Ruan Phuc's works, his martyrs justly accused those traitors of the motherland.
"Fuck you! I'm an upright Tomorrow Army! You rebels! If you're sensible, surrender quickly! Lest you lose your life!"
The city and the city kept scolding and shouting at each other. Gradually, since the first wave of the new army's offensive, it failed after leaving hundreds of dead bodies and more than 200 wounded.
When the retreating people had just passed the moat, the cannons behind them began to speak again.
Although the city of Hue is built with bricks and stones, it has gradually declined under the repeated blows of 24-pound and 24-pound cannons.no way.In addition to the five 24-pound cannons, there were more than [-] [-]-pound cannons and dozens of [-]-pound cannons under the city. In total, nearly a hundred artillery pieces bombarded the southern city wall.Moreover, the artillery has a regular division of labor according to the size of the caliber. The [-]-pounder ran to attack the middle of the city wall, the [-]-pounder bombarded the position below the crenel of the city wall, and the [-]-pounder was used to deal with all life on the top of the city.
Amidst the gunfire, the team that had asked for help from Ruan Phuc came back scrambling.
"Where's the artillery?!" Having suffered enough from the artillery fire in the city, Lord Guan Qi hoped for artillery reinforcements.
"My lord! The third son said that outside the west gate, the Ming army has hundreds of cannons arrayed there, and they dare not send artillery to our place, for fear that the Ming army will take the opportunity to attack the city. He allocated two teams of troops to us, let us hold onto!"
"Fart! Until now, there hasn't been a single cannon fired in the west city. What else is he talking about?! The number of people who died here far exceeds the two teams!" Mr. Guan Qi waved the sword in his hand, with a murderous look on his face, It seemed that the team leader in front of him was Ruan Fuming himself.
"Quick! Take the troops you brought to the fort, hand over the yellow fort to them to guard, and the rest of the people retreat to the tower!"
"My lord," said the team leader with a very embarrassed expression, "people on the road said that they had to rest for about an hour when they ran all the way and were exhausted. Therefore, they had to rest in the city first. If there is anything to do, we can talk about it in an hour. "
"My mother's pineapples and small bananas!" No matter how well-mannered Master Guan Qi is, he couldn't help but lose his temper. It's only a few miles from Xicheng to here. Bragging about how brave you are, but now you have to rest under the city? !
"Could it be?!" Suddenly, Guan Qi remembered that terrible thought, "The third son really wants it?!" He didn't dare to think about it. Fighting openly and secretly, it is well known, between the palace, for the sake of power and status, there is no family loyalty at all.
"In order to raise his price, he deliberately made us fight to the death. He took our lives to bargain with the general of the Ming Dynasty?"
Suddenly, the artillery fire under the city became extremely violent.
Group after group of solid shells and shrapnel shells were pushed out of the barrel by gunpowder, bombarding the city wall and sweeping away the lives on the city.Under the fierce artillery fire, almost no one dared to stand straight at the top of the city.Even so, there were still many people who were pierced by the shrapnel shells fired by the eight-pound gun and fell to the top of the city screaming, or were smashed by the gravel blown up by the twelve-pound gun on the crenels of the city wall. Brick killed and wounded.Several forts on the top of the city struggled to fight back under the fierce yelling and scolding led by Guan Qihe, but after all, the number of artillery pieces was small, and the medicine was not as powerful as the artillery pieces of the Nanzhong Army.The most important thing is that he is not like Li Shouhan, who carried out artillery shooting training with almost free gunpowder.The effect of artillery counterattack is naturally conceivable.
The sparse artillery shells did not have the effect just now in the crowd, and the morale of the charging people became more and more high in the face of the artillery fire. "Brothers, go! The general has an order! Our army breaks through the city first, and then we can rest in the city for a whole day!! Fill it!"
A long ladder leaned against the top of the city, and the besiegers began to attach themselves to the city.
The cannons below the city also began to bombard the top of the city, ignoring the people on the long ladder. People were constantly hit by stones thrown from the top of the city or by Lei Yiye, and fell down at the foot of the city wall screaming. What's more unlucky, the whole long ladder was knocked down by the pole, and a series of people came into close contact with the ground together with the long ladder.Leaving behind a pile of flesh and blood that cannot be separated from each other.
It's like this under the city, but it's not much better above the city.Under the heavy rain of bullets from eight-pound guns, the soldiers of the Ruan Army had just thrown the sheep's head stone on the head of the soldier of the New Army. Immediately afterwards, one or several rounds of shotgun pierced his body, and he was hit by the huge impact. He twisted his body and flew out.
"Go! Pull those two teams up for me! If you don't come up, bring me the heads of the team!" Lord Guan Qi looked at the siege team that was still mad at the city, and felt chills in his heart , he knows what the rest integer ri in these populations means.
It's not that he hasn't done these things before. He slaughtered other people's villages and towns, disbanded the army for a few days, and let the soldiers go free to rape and plunder. He can also take the opportunity to make a fortune.However, now that it was his turn, it was absolutely impossible.
My new concubine, and the concubine's timid, fresh and tender younger sister.How can you moan subtly under someone else's crotch? !
hold on!Must hold on!
Indistinctly, there were gunfire from the east and north, and the shouts hovered over the city. It seemed that the bloody smell had already traversed the entire city. The city seemed to be immersed in this pool of blood. Fishy sweetness.
Only the west of the city was still dead silent.
"Li Shouhan, you are trying to punish me to death!"
Ruan Phuc hid behind the crenels of the city wall and looked down the city through the eyes of arrows. On the other side of the moat, there were hundreds of cannons lined up impressively.One by one, the gunners with their chests and stomachs folded, holding matchlocks and brushes, lined up in their respective battle positions.
Behind the artillery positions lined up in a line, there are dozens of military flags.Behind the military flag, there are neat square formations. From the logo on the flag, it can be seen, "Jianwei left battalion, Jinwei right battalion, Jinwei middle battalion, Jinwei Phoenix left battalion, Jinwei Qilin battalion right. "
Behind him, Guan Qi Lisun, his confidant, came up, "Your Highness, I have counted, and there are nearly four hundred cannons, large and small."
In Nancheng, it was just a troop from the new army, and it was still fighting to the sky. One Buddha passed away and two Buddhas were born, while Ximen's here is one of the best elites in the Nanzhong Army. No gun fired, no shot fired.
"Also, the palace has sent someone again. The envoy invites you to go over and receive the order."
From the beginning of the Nanzhong Army's attack, the envoys in the palace were like Liu Shuijie.From urging him to try his best to defend the city, to ordering him to deploy troops to support the fierce fighting at the south gate, there are various reasons.However, every time the envoys came to announce the decree, seeing that there was no fighting between the two sides in the west city, and there were no casualties between the two sides, the expressions of the envoys all changed.
I don't know what purpose this messenger came to announce?
If I had known about Li Shouhan's methods, why did I need him to agree to inherit my father's official position?It's a good thing now, I didn't eat the mutton, which made my whole body smelly!
After stuffing an ingot of red gold to the envoy who came to pass the decree, the envoy bowed his hands to Ruan Fuming with a smile, "Third Highness, our army won the first battle today, and the king wishes to reward all the soldiers of the army. I have sent a special minister to invite you. Your Highness will follow me into the city, and there will be a family banquet in the palace. Before the banquet, the king will discuss with your highnesses and generals how to reward the soldiers of the various armies. Please, please go with your ministers." <Face of the wind, Ruan Fuming suddenly felt back pain chills.
The envoy was still there with a lot of tongue, and suddenly felt a pain in his back. He looked down and saw a sharp knife point dripping blood on his chest.On the robe, the bloodstains are constantly expanding.
Li Duan raised his right foot, kicked the emissary over, pulled out his sword, and rubbed it on his robe, "Your Highness, my lord wants you to go to the palace. I'm afraid it's a bad luck, so I'll be bold. My lord, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Looking at the envoy who was still twitching on the ground, he looked down the city at the densely packed artillery emplacements, including twelve-pounders, eight-pounders, six-pounders, and more than a dozen rockets.He couldn't help gritting his teeth, "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!" He silently read his father's name in his heart.
"Are you willing to follow me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to the command of General Li of the Ming Dynasty?" He stared at each officer under him one by one with blood-red eyes.
Following his words, Le Duan waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed to surround the officers present.The swords and spears in their hands pointed directly at the chests, abdomens and heads of the officers.
"Are you willing to follow me to General Li?" Ruan Fuming asked again.
"You! Answer your Highness's words!" Le Duan pointed at the officer with the sword in his hand.
"I, I, I...Ah!" The officer made a promise, and Le Duan raised his chin. A soldier had already raised his spear and pierced the officer's chest armor. The three soldiers joined forces and pulled His body was picked up, picked over the heads of the crowd, and thrown onto the horse path of the city wall, and the body rolled down along the horse path.
"Are you willing to follow me?" Ruan Fuming asked for the third time. This time, his voice was much softer, but in the ears of those uncertain officers, it sounded like an evil ghost cursed by Shura,
There was a quick-witted one who hurriedly ignored the troubles and knelt down on the ground, "Subordinates are willing to follow His Highness, and turn to the light!" Those who take the lead will naturally be able to deal with it, and the rest who are hesitant will immediately do so. Hastily knelt down and said to His Royal Highness that we have long wanted to go to the light.
"Order all the battalions, except for a team of people at the top of the city, to go down to the city to gather and go to the royal city to escort! In addition, throw the flags from the top of the city down to the city, and all the artillery positions will be charged inward. Everyone is strange, Follow His Highness to the Royal City to escort him. Li Duan, you open the two city gates to welcome the Great Ming Army into the city!"
When the two city gates of Xiguan were slowly opened, Ye Qi was at the intersection of Xiguan and Nanguan with several battalion officers, and they were watching the scene of the new army attacking the city with their own soldiers.
I saw people fighting life and death on the city wall, and from the top of the city and the long ladder, people kept screaming and falling down.The battalion officers of each battalion could not help but gasp, "No wonder my lord let these self-renewal troops take the lead!"
In fact, the purpose of letting the new army take the lead is not limited to this.
"Send people to the artillery department and order them not to worry about casualties and shells, just fire at the top of the city, as long as there is no red flag of our army on the top of the city, keep firing!"
According to Shou Han's original intention, he planned to use the opportunity of this fortified battle to practice the tactical essentials and connection of the infantry and artillery coordination of the troops through the attack of the new army, but the battle was turned into such a stalemate.
"Tell Ruan Bida that after the city is broken, except for temples, schools, and residents with red flags hanging or red paper pasted on the door, they can choose to stay in other places!"
The two different orders were like adding another handful of dry wood to the already frenzied air on the battlefield, and then pouring gasoline on the dry wood.The besiegers yelled and yelled again, carrying long ladders, holding knives and guns, rushing towards the city wall, ignoring that the ground under their feet was already covered with corpses and wounded soldiers, shells were whistling around, and shotguns were constantly coming from their ears , overhead, and passing by, the comrades around him kept groaning, and were hit by broken bricks and rocks blown up by shotguns or solid bullets, and fell to the ground.However, the desire to make a fortune after entering the city still makes people desperately move forward.
You can't go to temples, that's where gods and Buddhas are, and you can't go to schools, that's where scholars are.Residential houses with red paper and red flags are not allowed to go, they are residents who have surrendered. However, official residences at all levels, yamen, and the huge royal city have accumulated countless wealth, gold and silver!
"Wan Sheng!"
"mighty!"
Waves of loud cheers came from Xiguan.
"Son of a son of a bitch! Ruan Fuming dedicated the city!" Huge cheers came from Xiguan.
"Son of a bitch! Ruan Fuming dedicated the city!" The thing that Mr. Guan Qi had been worrying about finally happened. What should I do? What should I do?Should he fight desperately at the top of the city and serve the Ruan family, or, like Ruan Fuming, abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and go to General Li of the Ming Dynasty?
Just when Mr. Guan Qi was tangled in his heart, and the two thoughts in his mind were constantly fighting, the people on the top of the city heard a more soul-stirring voice.
"Brothers in the city, open the city gate, we are all one family, let's make a fortune together!" The self-renewal army below the city, all smiling, lined up in places where bows, arrows and muskets could not reach, shouting neatly.The sound wave was higher than the wave, and the sound seemed to be a greater threat to the defenders at the top of the city than the artillery just now.
"Brothers in the city, if we open the city gate, will you kill us?" A defender boldly asked.
"Brother in the city, if I don't have bad eyesight, is your surname Wu?" Ruan Bida, the leader of the Zixin Army, answered him holding a big trumpet made of white copper.
"I am Ruan Bida, the leader of the new army under the command of General Li Da, the president of the Southern Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty. Not long ago, I fought against the general Ruan Fuming in Rili. It is said that I have committed a serious crime, but now you see, I am not only fine, but also promoted. official!"
"That's right! We all surrendered to the general! If you are smart, surrender quickly, otherwise, wait a while, and the army will enter the city, and it will be too late if you want to surrender!"
For a while, the new army took advantage of their connections and launched a heart-to-heart war against the defenders in the city who called their friends and brothers.
"Kaesong! Kaesong! Kaesong!" In an instant, Lord Guan Qi heard the shouts of killing coming from near the west gate, and the idea of fighting for himself completely killed the idea of being a loyal minister.
Dozens of long ladders approached the top of the city again. This time, the people on the top of the city no longer stretched out the sharpness of weapons, but warm hands, "I'll give you a hand!"
"Okay, brother, let's go down to the city quickly, we're late, all the good things were taken away by the guards commanded by Ye!"
The military flag of the Ruan family was ripped off and thrown into the pile of dead people below the city. In its place, the yellow flag of the New Army was planted.Seeing the yellow flag fluttering over the city of Hue, Ye Qi and the battalion officers around him couldn't help showing a smile. Hue, this city lying on the southward road of the South China Army, this big nail has finally become a big nail. A part of the war machine of the Nanzhong Army!
Seeing the crowd of motley colors forming a torrent rushing down the city, Ye Qi, who was sitting on the bench, let out a long breath and wrote a five-character poem in her mouth.
"Tired battles are not empty, and the mountains and rivers are different.
At the place where the whip is thrown and the flow is cut off, the first peak of Wushan Mountain,
Mao Feng is not a matter of today, oil rain is waiting for Zhelong.
Only worry about the sword in the waist, and the Yuntai first remembers the merits. "
Just as Ye Qi was thinking about how her new work would be smooth and rhyme, there was a guy next to him who was disturbing the scenery.
"My lord." Huang Shi An crossed his arms and saluted, "Can we enter the city?"
Ye Qi raised her head and looked to the left and right. To the west, the troops of the Guards Battalion had already taken control of the west city, and about one battalion of troops was rapidly advancing along the city wall to the south city, sweeping away the stragglers who tried to resist stubbornly along the way.
The brigade is entering the city along the two gates of the west city, taking over various yamen and government treasuries, controlling the security of the residential areas in the city, and preventing bandits, hooligans and rout troops from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.
But there was some confusion at the south gate, since the soldiers of the new army.It turned out that the soldiers of the Ruan family were mixed together, and their respective commanders couldn't restrain them. Instead, they were swept away by the flow of people and rushed towards the city.Soon, several fires broke out in the city.
"Send people to quickly control the outer city, and all government offices, treasuries, temples, ancestral halls, etc. in the city must be preserved intact."
Soon, around the inner city, which is the so-called Ruan Family King City, flags of the South China Army began to fly side by side.
Not only near the royal city, but also on the northeast and west sides of the Bell and Drum Tower, that is, almost the entire city of Hue, is flying the banner of the South China Army.
Organized resistance in the city has ceased, but the killing continues...
In the mid-air of the Guanxiang inside the south gate, flames were everywhere, and the houses on both sides of the street were still burning.Bricks, stones and tiles fell to the ground on the street, dead bodies were everywhere on the street, and many people who were seriously injured and still alive were moaning.The blood flowed on the ground, freezing into ice.There are also dead bodies leaning against the wall, and the wall is also stained with blood.All kinds of clothes and belongings were scattered on the ground, which looked shocking.In the urban areas leading from the south gate to the inner city, especially in those urban streets where there are no red flags or red papers flying at the gates, there are sounds of knocking on doors, shouting, crying, things being broken, women The howls and groans of men.
Soon, the crowd entering the city from the south gate came to the inner city. It was unknown whether it was because of panic or negligence, but a gate of the inner city was not closed!A group of soldiers from the New Army and the original Ruan family who rushed here looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw surprise, ecstasy, and fear.
"Never mind! We are behind the Ming army, so what if there is an ambush? Be bold and be king! Brothers! Enter the palace! Get rich!"
"Oh! Enter the palace! Get rich!"
"Damn! I want to sleep with my mother!"
"Empress, you deserve it too?! That's reserved for the general! It's enough for us to sleep with a maid or something!"
People were yelling at each other.encouraged.Like a flash flood, it rushed into the royal city.
Along the wide stone paved road, people rushed into the royal city.
On both sides of Yong Road, there are trees such as pines, cypresses, spruces, etc. At the end of the road, there is a platform, commonly known as Danchi, paved with polished bluestone, with gilded incense burners, big tripods, and cranes on the left and right.Danchi is surrounded by white marble railings on three sides, and Yunlong column heads, which are exquisitely carved.In front of the platform are seven stone steps.The five buildings covered with yellow glazed tiles obviously violated the regulations, and there are dozens of vermilion columns that cannot be embraced by one person. Below the buildings are three parallel red lacquer gates, and there are corridors, bell towers and drum towers on both sides of the courtyard.
In the square in the middle of the courtyard, many people have gathered, all of whom are Ruan Phuc's subordinates.Along the Yonglu Road to the building with yellow glazed tiles, there are many corpses lying here and there, most of the male corpses are guards in the palace, and there are also a few eunuchs who have been stabbed bloody by various weapons. Lying on the ground; most of the female corpses were in some remote corners, with naked or lower body naked, obviously they were abused to death when they broke the city.
"Quick! Where is the seal?!" A voice shouted in the crowd.
His so-called seals are many seals issued by the Zheng family to Ruan Fuyuan in the name of Emperor Li, including the two water step battalions of temperance in Hue and the chief minister of Pingzhang Military and State Affairs Tai Fu. These seals can be used to prove that Ruan Fuyuan legal status of the home.Naturally, it is the biggest trophy that can be used to contribute to the South China Army.
It was Ruan Youyi, Ruan Fuyuan's confidant, who was being questioned.
"Being against my father and my son, how dare you ask me where my seal is?" Ruan Youyi, who was already covered in blood, had the air of a subjugated official.
However, the rioters around didn't care about these things. Their eyes were fixed on those golden and shining things, as well as those trembling beauties hiding in corners and hiding places.
Finally, someone in the crowd shouted, "Grab it!"
People's desires were ignited by this shout.
The looting and killing of the royal city began.
