Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 643 Selecting the Imperial City (Part [-])
The Daxi army on the imperial city guarded against the danger. They closed the city gate, and then shot arrows and guns from a condescending height.

The archers of the Ming army also shot arrows at the top of the city, and Zhu Yousong's musket battalion also knocked down many Daxi troops at the top of the city, but in the end the effect was not great due to the terrain, and the fundamental problem could not be solved.If such a forceful attack is used, there is no doubt that human life will be ignored.

The Ming army retreated temporarily. Li Quan and Zhao Fu suggested that Zhu Yousong send red-clothed cannons to bombard the imperial city. Zhu Yousong looked at the imperial city, which was about two feet high. They are all distributed on the outer city wall and the auxiliary city, and the imperial city is full of archers and some musket battalions.

It is possible to adjust the artillery to attack the city, but I feel that it is a big deal. The impregnable outer city has been attacked. Can a small defense line of the imperial city stop my thousands of horses and troops?After all, ammunition is limited, and the red cannon is used to attack tough situations, so it is best not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

After Zhu Yousong thought about it, he asked the white soldiers to get ready, and the rest of the soldiers would get ready behind the white soldiers, and then called Zhang Huan to the front. He wanted to use the sharp archer as a sniper, plus He is two snipers, let a armored cavalry ready shield cover.

After everything was ready, Zhu Yousong and Zhang Huan each held a three-stone hard bow. This kind of bow cannot be drawn by ordinary people, and the range can reach 150 steps. About eighty steps, a general uses a two-stone bow, and the range generally does not exceed 120 steps. Only a particularly strong archer will use a three-stone bow, which requires a thousand catties of arm strength. This kind of bow has a long range, but consumes a lot of energy, like Zhang Both Huan and Zhu Yousong are using this kind of bow now.

Then Zhu Yousong and Zhang Huan each carried two arcs of arrows behind them, each with thirty arrows. After they were ready, the team of several hundred rushed towards the imperial city again.

Seeing the Ming army rushing up again, the archers who had just stopped on the top of the city became busy again, and the arrows flowed like rain for a while, covering the sky and the sun.

"Raise the shield!" The shield hand connected the big shields in their hands one by one, piled them up layer by layer, and a special defensive wall was erected in front of Zhu Yousong and Zhang Huanma. The storm hit the windowpanes, and the arrows scattered all over the place.

However, the function of this defensive wall is also limited. The pervasive flow of arrows penetrates the gap between the shield and the shield. The Ming soldiers behind the shield will continue to be shot down, and the shield wall will appear wherever blood foam splashes. There is a gap, but every time a Ming army falls, another Ming army will come up behind, and the gap will be filled immediately.

Two horses, Zhu Yousong and Zhang Huan, stood in a figure-eight shape, with their backs to their backs, and the two held their bows in their hands. Each took out an arrow, confirmed the buckle and added the string, and with a creak, the bow opened like a full moon.

"Shoot their archers!"

As Zhu Yousong said, these two sharp arrows pierced through the air at the same time, more than 100 steps away from the outer city, two archers of the Great Western Army, one was shot between the eyebrows, the other was pierced by an arrow in the throat, and two soldiers would throw With the bow and arrow in his hand, one fell back and the other fell down.

"Good shot, good archery, continue!" Zhu Yousong was applauding Zhang Huan, and he was also applauding himself.

"Come again, come again, shoot their generals!"

Then, slap, slap, bow left and right, and shot all the two pots of arrows on his body in one breath, and the arrows were all shot.

Until the archers on the tower couldn't lift their heads, they also shot down a general and a partial general.

Zhu Yousong was very good at shooting. He felt that shooting had never been so enjoyable today. He opened his bow left and right and shot two pots of arrows in one go. Then he reached out to touch the quiver behind him, and it was empty.

At this time, Zhang Huan still had nearly a pot of arrows to shoot, and he pulled the two-stone hard bow dozens of times. Zhang Huan couldn't take it anymore. He was so tired that he was sweating.

Zhu Yousong was about to use the arrows from Zhang Huan's quiver, when he saw the archers on the top of the city were dead and wounded, and the rest were too frightened to lift their heads. Sparse and sparse, I feel that it is time to fire.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong ordered decisively: "Battle of Loyalty, charge!"

This time Ma Wannian stayed in Wan County, but Zhu Yousong, the trump card division of Zhongzhenying, was with him.

At this time, Zhu Yousong gave an order, and 3000 white soldiers rushed towards the city wall.

The Great West Army on the top of the city saw the white soldiers coming, and many people knew the prestige of the white soldiers, and they were a little timid immediately.

Looking at these white soldiers, they didn't need ladders to climb the city at all. Seeing that the city wall was two feet high, they didn't pay attention at all, and threw their white guns at the city wall together.

All of a sudden, countless white guns burst out of the air, with the sound of the wind, like javelins, hitting the city wall one after another, smashing the bricks and stones, and the gun heads penetrated into the wall. Of course, some of them were scattered into the ground due to insufficient force .

But this was enough, they rushed under the city wall at a fast speed, picked up the white guns on the ground, hung the rings of the white guns in the middle of the city wall, like monkeys crawling dry, and then went up Jumped up to the top of the city.

This is the imperial city, not like the outer city.There is no moat, relatively speaking, the walls are not so thick and not so high, and there are no cannons, no rolling wood and thunder stones on the top of the city, only archers.

That's why the white-armed soldiers succeeded so easily.

When the Daxi army on the top of the city saw the Ming army coming up, they rushed over quickly, intending to drive them down.

The lads on these stone pillars are all brave, and since they have come up, they will not go down easily.

The two sides started a hand-to-hand fight on the top of the city, but as time goes by, more and more white soldiers will rush to the city.With the bravery of the white-armed soldiers, these Daxi generals were no opponents, so these generals fled in all directions before holding on for long, and the city gate was soon opened.

Thousands of Ming army soldiers charged behind the white pole soldiers. They rushed into the city overwhelmingly and quickly occupied the imperial city.

Zhu Yousong's invasion of the imperial city meant the recovery of the Daxi capital. From then on, the Daxi regime existed in name only, and the remaining forces left to chase and annihilate them.

After the Ming army occupied Chengdu, they made a list to appease the people, and announced that the Daxi capital would be renamed Chengdu.

Repairing the city defenses, guarding the prisoners, treating the wounded, and taking care of the trophies, the soldiers of the Ming army were extremely busy.

At this time, outside the north city of Chengdu, a group of defeated generals galloped towards Phoenix Mountain.The leading general was covered in blood and was very embarrassed. Looking carefully, it was Wang Zhaolin, the right prime minister of the Great Western Army.

Seeing that the city was broken and unable to hold it anymore, Wang Zhaolin and Tao Niangniang fled through the north gate under the protection of an army.

Unexpectedly, they met a Ming army on the way and blocked their way. After a fight, Tao Niangniang was shot and shot, and Wang Zhaolin fled to Phoenix Mountain with the remnants of the defeated general...
