Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 196 Nanjing ([-])

The city wall was blasted, and Zhou Chaozhong led the remaining 5000 troops to rush towards the gap in the city wall.

"Comrades, go! Enter Jiangning City!"

Zhou Chaozhong shouted while running.The group members beside him were also very excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood and ate a big tonic pill.

The honor of conquering the famous city belongs to them, and the capture after conquering the city also belongs to them.Thinking of the mountains of gold and silver treasures in Jiangning City, the regiment members trembled with excitement.Money, fame, and status are rolling in. Isn't this what these regiments are looking forward to?

But the Tartars who guarded the city were ashen-faced, so how could they resist if the fortified city was broken?So most of the Tartars turned around and fled, shouting wildly in their mouths.

"The city is broken, the city is broken? Bandits have entered the city!"

However, there are also some brave men who want to stop the bandits from entering the city by themselves. Of course, they all ended up dying tragically under the knives of the bandits.

Two loud explosions from the city wall of Yifeng Gate reached Jubao Gate. After hearing the sound, Qiu Tianxing was very thoughtful. With such a loud noise, the city must have been destroyed.However, Ma Guozhu's face was ashen. After dozens of explosions sounded before, he knew that the bandits wanted to explode and attack the city, but not long after he sent reinforcements, there were two such loud noises, so the ironclad city defense was broken. up.

Not only Ma Guozhu thought of this, but also his soldiers.Just at this time, the regiments outside the city gate shouted loudly.

"Comrades, Jiangning City is broken, go!"

"Come on! Enter Jiangning City and capture the horse traitor alive!"

"Long live the security team! Go!"

Hearing these rebellious words from the regiments outside the city, no matter whether it was soldiers or the rebels assembled by servants from rich families, they all panicked.What's more, when they looked at the supervising team behind them in shock, they turned around and fled one after another.When the supervising team reacted, some lucky ones had already fled.With such morale, the defenders had little will to fight.

Taking this opportunity, hundreds of long ladders were mounted on the city wall, and thousands of regiments climbed up one after another.Even though a group of people slipped and fell off the city wall, it did not damage morale.In this short period of time, some Tuan Ding climbed up the city wall.Although the Tartars started to fight back, their morale was completely exhausted and they were unable to resist, and even some people did not want to resist and were ready to escape, so more and more Tuan Ding climbed to the top of Jubao Gate.

"Kill! Be loyal to the country! Kill the bandits!" Ma Guozhu shouted loudly with a long sword in his hand.

It's just that except for the supervisor behind him, the rest of the troops are in chaos. Even his supervisor is also panicked, with flickering eyes.

Zhu Yunheng, the deputy general of the Chinese army, said to Ma Guozhu in a trembling tone.

"Your Excellency, the city gate is broken, we should retreat to the former Ming imperial city!"

Hearing the words of Zhu Yunheng, the deputy general of the Chinese army, Ma Guozhu gave him a fierce look, and said in a firm tone.

"No retreat, no one is allowed to retreat, anyone who retreats without permission will be killed without mercy!"

After Ma Guozhu said this, Zhu Yunheng was stunned for a moment.At this time, Ba Shan on the side didn't say a word, and after pulling out his long sword, he stabbed Zhu Yunheng in the opposite direction.

Then the hundreds of bannermen behind him hacked and killed like tigers entering a flock of sheep.It was this killing that shocked the soldiers on the city wall.

"Kill the gangsters, Baojiang Ning! Go forward and kill the bandits, everyone will be rewarded, and if you step back half a step, your head will fall!" Bashan roared sharply.

After being slaughtered by Bashan and his banner soldiers, the remaining soldiers were terrified.Thinking of the ferocity of these flag soldiers and their invincible record in the past, some soldiers slowly regained their confidence.As a result, the resistance on the city wall became more and more stable.

However, at this moment, the killing and roaring behind them became louder and louder, and seemed to be approaching the Jubao Gate.After thinking that maybe he might be attacked by the enemy, the morale of the soldiers who had just been aroused by Bashan also sank.

When a red-blooded five-pointed star flag appeared at the city gate, the resistance on Jubao Gate was finally defeated.Under the front and rear attacks, most of the people turned around and fled from the Jubao Gate, a few died in battle, and some who had no time to escape simply knelt down and begged for mercy and became prisoners.

The general situation is over, but Bashan still leads hundreds of people to resist at the head of the city.He is a Tartar, and he is the target of bandits' liquidation. If he surrenders, he will have no way to survive.Zhang Dayou, the minister stationed in the Han Dynasty, also raised the flag. He was regarded as a hard-core traitor in the eyes of the bandits, so naturally he had no way out.Rather than dying exhausted in the labor camp, rather than implicating my family, it would be better for me to be responsible for losing the city once I die.Therefore, Zhang Dayou also led his troops to fight hard on the top of the city.

Although these people's momentary resistance to the death caused great losses to the regiments on the top of the city.But their general situation is gone, even if there is a partial victory, it will not be exchanged for an overall victory.

When there are more and more regiments on the top of the city, and large and small spear formations are formed, the space for these people is squeezed more and more.There are also bows and arrows shot from time to time.It exacerbated the casualties of these flag soldiers.

Seeing the bandits gaining more and more advantages, Ma Guozhu, who was among the banner soldiers, became in a daze.He recalled his life, the promotion of the late emperor's insight, the imperial court's power to swallow up the world after entering the customs, and the infinite scenery, wealth, power and beauties when he became a feudal official. .Back in time, his memory turned back, and he vaguely remembered from the depths of his mind that he still seemed to be a Ming person. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and Li Chengliang was stationed in Liaodong. middle.

"It turns out that I used to be a Han Chinese." Ma Guozhu's mouth twitched, and he muttered.

At this time, the long scroll of time was suddenly closed, and what appeared in front of his eyes was a bloody killing, and Ma Guozhu suddenly came to his senses.Just at this moment, a bloody spear stabbed at him.Ma Guozhu screamed, but at this time the Tartar Banner soldiers around him had all retreated to the Eight Banners Garrison City, which was the former Ming Palace.

After being stabbed by the spear, Ma Guozhu felt great pain, and the strength in his body quickly flowed away from the wound.He tried his best to turn his head to look, only to see the back of a banner soldier in the distance leaving in a panic.

"It turns out that the imperial court's Eight Banners army will also fail!" Ma Guozhu had this thought in his mind.

Then several long spears stabbed him again, Ma Guozhu's body shook a few times before he lost his breath.

At this time, a ray of sunset light enveloped Ma Guozhu, as if to herald something.

On November [-]th, the seventh year of Huaxing, the army of the security regiment headquarters invaded Jiangning City.
