Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 418

The Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock is still somewhat inconvenient as a front-mounted percussion flintlock when chasing.

Especially when facing an enemy who has no intention of fighting against you and just wants to run with a longer leg.

Before you even have time to reload, he's running as far as shit.

In addition, the officers and students in the training battalion have no actual combat experience, and their proficiency in the operation of flintlock guns is not high. Therefore, when chasing the rebels at this time, some of the officers and students had no choice but to directly chase the rebels in order to kill a few more rebels. Go up and stab with a bayonet.

After all, bayonets are not as good as spears, and some simply put their guns on their bodies, picked up the spears dropped by the rebels, and chased after them.

The Xia Yunyi battalion who was ordered to guard the Daming Ordnance Institute and the instructors who followed to kill the enemy were very angry when they saw the performance of the military students.

Some of the grumpy ones could not help cursing, saying that these young people selected from all over the world seemed to be very smart, but why were they all so stupid when they went to the battlefield, and they forgot all the things they usually taught. Chase and kill these rebels methodically.

The officers and soldiers of Xia Yunyi's battalion could not wait to rush up to teach these officers and students how to fight.

However, although the officers and students lack actual combat experience, they still fight hard. As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they know that they have to kill more enemies on the battlefield. Dare to run after dozens of rebels.

Seeing this, Chen Zilong didn't bother to give instructions on the spot anymore, and simply thought that he would teach these students how to fight after the battle was over.

At this time, the rebels didn't know how disorderly the officers and students in the guards' training battalion were fighting. They only knew that the guards chasing after them were too tough. If they caught someone, they would stab them desperately He smashes his life, and he can use whatever he holds in his hand, even if he doesn't have a weapon, he can directly bite the blood vessels in a person's throat with his mouth.

The rebels never thought that there would be such a desperate army. Only now did they gradually realize that the rebellion was not a rebellion, it was not a group fight. Watching the living people die beside them, these rebels only felt Fear.

The officers and students became more and more excited as they killed more.

After all, what they have been instilled since entering the military academy is how to kill the enemy and how to kill more enemies.

Therefore, as the death toll increased, the feelings of the Guards teaching camp and the rebels were completely different.

Lai Wenli, the general of the rebel army, was carried back outside Nanjing by the deputy general Sha Xing.

He was indeed so frightened that his legs were weak at this time. After all, Lai Wenli was only a deputy Qianhu a few days ago, and he was only a deputy Qianhu with a false job. The more essential identity was a bureaucratic landlord who didn't have much experience in war. .

Now that the guards are firing directly at the Daming Ordnance Institute, his [-] army is scared to the ground, and he himself has never thought about what he should do if his [-] army collapses, watching the officers and soldiers under his command run away. He also ran along, but ran in a disorganized manner, neither letting his own cavalry block him, nor organizing officers and soldiers to block him along the way.

In the end, Sha Xing, who was quite experienced, immediately ordered his archers to stop him, and then rescued Lai Wenli and returned to the city of Nanjing, accompanied by [-] defeated soldiers.

The casualties of the rebels were not large, because there were very few rebels who really resisted the Guards teaching camp, and most of them ran desperately.

The guards teaching battalion has a limited number of people and is not rich in experience, so the number of enemies killed now is no more than 1 million people.

"His Royal Highness Lu, the bandit army in the Daming Armory Institute is too powerful, and they still have a lot of artillery. I have [-] elite soldiers who fought to the death for a day, and finally lost to the enemy and had to withdraw. If I didn't realize it early, I just I'm afraid the whole army has already been wiped out, woo woo!"

Lai Wenli, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, told Lu Wang Zhu Changhao and others in tears how he resolutely regrouped when the commander-in-chief Jiang Yuntai was killed and fought to the death with the defenders of the Daming Ordnance Institute. Bring back [-] infantry.

Seeing his sincerity and sincerity, Lu Wang Zhu Changhao thought he was Guo Yong's son-in-law, so naturally he didn't blame him, but when he thought that the Daming Armory could not be taken down, he could only continue to ask Zhang Bingzhen and Guo Yong for advice:

"You two lovers, please tell me what to do now. If we can't take down the Daming Armory Institute, we won't be able to take down Nanjing City."

"Your Highness, the only solution for the present is to use ants to attack the city instead of attacking the city with cannons;

I suspect that if the bandit army of the Daming Armory Institute is really as good at fighting as Mr. Lai said, I am afraid that there are not many people, otherwise they would have come to rescue Nanjing City long ago, so why bother to stay there? reinforcements appear;

We simply took advantage of this while the army besieged the city and immediately searched for giant trees, rewarded the officers and soldiers who rebelled with a lot of money to boost their morale, and told them that as long as they broke through the city of Nanjing, they would be allowed to loot for three days;
In this case, after all, the soldiers have followed us to cause trouble, and there is no way to atone for their sins. Now that we reward a lot of money and promise a lot of profits, the soldiers will definitely attack the city actively;
At that time, it doesn't matter if there are countless casualties and countless silver dollars, as long as your highness can occupy Nanjing and become the emperor, everything will be worth it. "

When Zhang Bingzhen said this, Lu Wang Zhu Changhao nodded in agreement, and hurriedly ordered to distribute all the silver dollars looted from various places, and immediately ordered his people to look for giant trees everywhere.

Fortunately, the tomb of the king of Boni Kingdom is at Shizigang in the south of Nanjing City, and the trees around the tomb of the king who died in the Yongle period have already towered into the sky, and they all have a life span of 200 years. It was directly cut down to make a giant log for siege.

Soon, under Lu Wang Zhu Changhao's huge money stimulus and the temptation to plunder Nanjing for three days, and these officers and soldiers who followed Lu Wang's uprising also knew that they had no way out, so they all actively pushed the giant wood and carried it. Yunti came towards the outer city of Nanjing.

The city of Nanjing is not small. Apart from the imperial city, there are two city walls, and the outermost city wall has more than ten gates.

From north to Yanziji, from south to Jiagang Gate on the left side of Qinhuai River.

Even if Lu Wang Zhu Chang Xiaoxiao gathered nearly [-] soldiers and horses, he could not meet the conditions to attack from every city gate at the same time, not to mention that there is a Yangtze River lying across the west of Nanjing City.

According to Zhang Bingzhen's opinion, Lu Wang Zhu Changhao focused his attack on Shangfang Gate and Gaoqiao Gate.

The Shangfang Gate is a water gate that straddles the Qinhuai River. That is to say, as long as the Shangfang Gate is breached, one can follow the Qinhuai River to Tongji Gate, the inner city gate of Nanjing.

And Gaoqiao Gate leads directly to Zhengyang Gate, which is the main gate of Nanjing City, and the six and five armies' governors' mansions are all inside Zhengyang Gate, and Zhengyang Gate is also the closest to the imperial city, that is to say, as long as Gaoqiao Gate and Zhengyang Gate are broken, Yangmen can break through the imperial city with the shortest distance.

And Tongji Gate is not far from Zhengyang Gate, and it is also the closest gate to the Sixth and Fifth Armies Governor's Mansion and the Imperial City.

So it can be seen that in theory, Lu Wang Zhu Changhao and other rebels attacked Nanjing City quite well.
