Da Ming started to ascend the throne

"Huang Chao, if you see their artillery, it's best to destroy those artillery first, and don't let them have a chance to fire."

"Obey, don't worry, the emperor, we will definitely destroy all the rogue artillery."

One kilometer below the city, three generals, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and Qi Jiguang, stood straddling their horses in front of the formation, looking coldly at the army of rogues coming from the shop.

Their war horses smelled the smell of war, they all neighed and kept raising their front hooves, and the soldiers behind them were all ready to fight.

Qi Jiguang held the waist knife in his hand, staring at the army of rogues, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Two generals, I, Qi Jiguang, haven't fought for a long time. Take a look, this should not be the elite of the rogues. Their formation is a little messed up."

"That's right, these are Daming's surrendered soldiers. They are still wearing my Ming's armor. I really don't know how effective our Daming's tiger squat cannon is against them."

"Haha, general, don't worry, you will soon see the tiger crouching and cannon devouring these traitors and rogues."

When the war came, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and Qi Jiguang, the three generals talked and laughed happily, without any tension at all.

Liu Zhongmin rode on the horse, looked up triumphantly at the top of the capital city, and was thinking about those beautiful court ladies and powerful women in his heart.

Especially the number one beauty of Ming Dynasty, Chen Yuanyuan, once he breaks through the capital, that is his biggest goal. He wants to taste what it is like to be the number one beauty of Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly the leader of the artillery battalion came to ask for instructions:

"Report to General Huang Hu, enter the effective range of the artillery, whether to place the red cannon position here."

Liu Zhongmin laughed loudly:

"Okay, let's bombard the city immediately, aim at the city gate, and bombard with all the artillery fire. This general will take down the capital in one go."

The rogue troops approached two kilometers, and one hundred thousand rogue recruits gradually entered the range of the artillery. Huang Ming reported to Zhu Youjian again:

"Your Majesty, half of the rogue army has entered the effective range of the cannon."

Zhu Youjian saw the army of rogues in the distance through the binoculars, and found that they had already started to set up cannons in red, and the target of the muzzle was the city gate where they were.

He waved his hand and ordered:

"The muzzle is aimed at the artillery positions of the rogues, and I will bombard them hard and fire."

"obey"

Huang Chao received the order and waved the command flag in his hand:

"Artillery preparations, aim at the rogue artillery positions, carpet bombardment, and fire!"

"Rumble..."

There was a violent cannon sound, and the whole city trembled. 150 cannons in red spewed out tongues of flame, instantly covering the artillery positions of the rogues.

After the first round of shelling, before the shells hit the ground, the second round of shelling sounded at the same time. The rogue who was setting up the cannon in red was shocked when he heard the sound of the cannon and looked up.

I saw shells all over the sky flying towards the top of their heads, flying towards them like a dark cloud. Before they could react, all the shells fell on top of their heads and around them.

"General Liu, something is wrong. Minggou bombarded our artillery positions and must be moved immediately."

"Rumble..."

Transfer, it's too late.

The shells of the red cannons in the late Ming Dynasty were almost all solid lead bullets, one weighing several kilograms, falling from such a high altitude, the lethality can be imagined.

After two rounds of shelling, the artillery positions of the rogue army were completely destroyed before they were established. There were broken limbs and arms of the rogue soldiers everywhere, and the scene was full of wailing.

"Report to General Huang Hu, our artillery position was destroyed, and the artillery brothers were almost killed in one pot."

Sudden shelling, Liu Zongmin hurriedly retreated some distance under the protection of some personal guards, and then the Chinese army came to report.

"What? All the artillery is gone, grandma's, let me rush up, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy."

Liu Zongmin was furious, and drew out his waist knife to direct the recruit battalion to charge forward. Before his words fell, the shelling on the top of the city began again, and the recruits in front fell down row by row.

But these rogues were really brave, almost no one retreated, and they continued to charge forward, but they were quickly stopped by Tang Tong's Ming army descending in front, so they could only slow down.

Qi Jiguang, Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chuanting, when they heard the sound of cannons, they saw a chaotic army of bandits, and they all laughed loudly:

"Look, our emperor is not bad. This round of artillery strikes is really good. Everyone is ready to fight. It will soon be time for us to make achievements."

"Rumble..."

The bombardment at the top of the city continued, and the army of rogues once again suffered a large number of casualties, and the Ming army began to retreat.

"Retreat quickly, the artillery fire is too fierce. When will our Ming's artillery fire return to its former glory. If we knew this, we really shouldn't surrender. The rogues don't treat us as human beings at all."

"Speak less, be careful not to be overheard by the bandits behind, or they will all die, retreat quickly..."

Some of the surrendered soldiers of the Ming army began to waver in their hearts, and some complained and retreated one after another.

Withdrawing, it was as simple as that, the supervisor team sent by the rogues raised their swords high, and when they saw someone retreating, they executed the Fa one by one on the spot.

"Rush up quickly, the cannons will be out of reach if you rush to the bottom of the city, and all those who retreat will be punished on the spot."

There was no other way, Tang Tong had no choice but to lead the Ming army to surrender, and rushed forward again desperately, but the shells still fell around them, and people kept falling down one by one.

"Tang Tong, you bastard, quickly change the formation and attack."

Liu Zongmin in the back didn't look well, shouted and cursed loudly, and ordered to change the formation and continue to attack.

However, because the artillery fire is too dense, no matter what formation they use, there will be a large area of ​​casualties.

The Chinese army quickly sent the battle report ahead to Li Zicheng's command center.

"Report to Your Majesty, the artillery fire at the top of the city is fierce, and our army has suffered heavy casualties."

However, Li Zicheng didn't care about the casualties of those Ming soldiers and recruits.

These people were originally his cannon fodder. Seeing that Li Zicheng did not speak, Niu Jinxing waved at the Chinese army:

"Here's an order to order the vanguard to attack quickly. After approaching the Ming army's position, the shelling will stop. No matter how much the price is paid, the capital must be taken down today."

"Yes"

Chapter 21 Hot and Cold Weapon Showdown

In the past, they were the ones who bombarded the rogues and captives, but now they became the targets of bombardment by the Ming army. These surrendered soldiers had never been bombarded before.It was only when he heard the order that he suddenly realized.

"Change the formation quickly, and launch an attack with a long snake formation."

Under Tang Tong's command, they immediately changed their formation and moved forward, but there were too many people, and any formation they used would be baptized by the red cannons.
