Chapter 740: The Battle of Dinghuaimen
"The gates are open!"
As the city gate opened, the moonlight in Nanjing City shone through, and the heavy suspension bridge began to 'creak and rattle', and the restless excitement of many real Manchuria around it was almost uncontrollable, and the adrenaline suddenly soared to its peak.
Towering Nanjing, one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, the resting place of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time......
It's like the unguarded graceful girl who has been placed in front of them!
"Tan Bai, after you come to the palace, I will charge, and the merits will be divided equally!"
Ao Bai couldn't bear it anymore after holding it for so long, and after informing Tan Bai, he quickly pouted his ass and crawled to the front like a dog.
His minions around him were all the same, and they quickly and excitedly followed.
"This ......"
Tan Bai still wanted to stop him, but it was impossible, so he could only be embarrassed on the spot, but Tan Bai quickly calmed down, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
Although there are many 'Baturu' in the Qing Dynasty at this time, on the surface, no one is convinced, but as long as Ao Bai speaks, I am afraid that few people dare to easily provoke his majesty.
When Ao Bai was fourteen years old and his hair had not yet grown, he once picked off an old white armor inlaid with a yellow flag and was rewarded by Huang Taiji.
At this time, there were five or six hundred people around Aobai, ninety percent of whom were real Manchuria with yellow flags, and the elite minions under his command were almost exhausted, and they were the few Han army banner minions and armor-wearing people who were also masters among the masters.
Even if there is really something wrong ahead, it is not a big problem for Ao Bai to rush in.
In addition, there is Nei Ying in the city and him behind this palace, and the chance of success is still very high.
Thinking about it, Tan Bai didn't think much about it, quickly gathered his mind, beckoned the minions around him to gather, and was ready to answer Ao Bai at any time.
Dinghuai Gate is the gateway of Nanjing City, and it is also the most important hub for river boats on the Yangtze River to enter Nanjing City, because of the relationship between the Qinhuai River, although the wharf is a few miles away in the west, but this side also forms a 'morning set', there are many shacks, shelves, stalls and wooden houses, mud houses, which look very messy.
If it is placed in a frontier city, this is absolutely not allowed.
For example, the south gate of Haicheng, which mainly leads to the inland, is a smooth road for more than ten or twenty miles, and you can clearly overlook everything from the top of the city, and all the commercial facilities are within the city walls.
The worshippers quickly followed these shacks and stalls to the city gate.
There were already people at the head of the city who were sticking their heads out and looking down, constantly learning to cricket, and Neiying obviously couldn't wait.
But although Ao Bai is reckless, he is not stupid.
When approaching a hundred paces outside the city gate, he did not rush forward, but beckoned his minions to quickly stop and take a closer look inside.
In the city gate, someone had already run out and waved to them hurriedly, and the gestures and signals were correct, which were exactly what had been agreed before.
"Master, it should be fine, let's rush, the minions can't wait for a long time......"
Beside him, there was a minion who whispered excitedly, and his tongue was about to lick his lips.
Although they occupied the capital division of the Qing Dynasty, but the Beijing division was passed by the Yongchang Emperor Li Huangye first, the poor people of the army haha, the good things and beautiful women in the city were almost served by them, which directly led to the fact that even if they were very powerful real Manchuria, in addition to the fact that they had a similar house, they did not fall into other benefits in the capital at all.
At this time, the opportunity has appeared, and everyone is about to burst into fire in their eyes, who can bear it?
Ao Bai was slightly hesitant in his heart.
This kind of thing is by no means ordinary, no matter how strong the internal responses are, it is impossible to completely control this huge Dinghuai Gate, right?
Normal state, at this time, the inside should be messed up, but at this time, a while has passed, and the inside is still in such a stable state?
Ao Bai gritted his teeth, but decided to endure it any longer!
After all, Dinghuaimen is in front of him, it is impossible to run away with long legs, he only needs the first merit to be enough, and he is not in a hurry at this time.
Seeing that Aobai was not in a hurry, all the real Manchuria around him were as hot and unbearable as a male dog in heat, but he didn't dare to disobey Aobai's order, so he could only endure it first.
But the crowd endured for a moment.
"Whoosh!"
There was a sudden chaos in the city, and one of the internal responses that came out to open the door for them just now was directly overturned by a cold arrow from behind, and fell to the ground, followed by someone shouting: "Quick, close the city gate, there is a Tartar's internal response!" ”
"Kill them, close the gates!"
"Whoosh ......"
In a moment, there was a sharp chaos around the city gates, with feathered arrows flying everywhere and many torches being thrown down, apparently trying to burn the ropes of the drawbridge.
Ao Bai finally stopped doubting, his big bronze bell-like eyes were shining, and he shouted tyrannically: "Rush, rush in, control the city gate first, quickly!" ”
"Warriors rush, take Nanjing City!"
"Rush, ......"
Many real Manchurias, who had been holding back for a long time, finally found an outlet, and the male dog of Sahuan rushed straight to the suspension bridge.
"Whoosh!"
Many artists are bold and brave in real Manchuria, and they actually opened their bows and arrows while running, and in a moment they suppressed the Ming army who wanted to throw torches at the head of the city, and quickly shot down several people inside the city gate, and suddenly started a crying father and mother.
"Haha, rush in, rush in!"
In less than a minute, a true Manchurian warrior with a yellow flag rushed to the side of the suspension bridge, quickly occupied the favorable terrain, and the real Manchurian warrior behind him rushed in like a tide.
Ao Bai no longer hid his figure, laughed and strode forward.
Seeing that Ao Bai succeeded smoothly, Tan Bai in the back also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly led people to force over.
In the blink of an eye, there was a fierce shouting of killing inside and outside the city gate, and the rich smell of blood quickly rose, smearing the quiet moonlight with a layer of blood.
At the head of the city, Zhu Cihong was still holding on to maintain his majesty, but his whole body was already trembling, his legs were already weak, and he almost couldn't stand, so he said with great difficulty: "Wang, General Wang, this, this, this is okay, right?" There must be at least a few thousand people in this group of real Manchuria under the city......"
Next to him, Luo Xiushen, Zhang Dingguo, Du Guoliang and others were all bloodless.
I've seen the madness.
But I've never seen anything so crazy.
These model army members are simply a bunch of crazy people......
Wang Xi, Qiang Ye and other model army sons and daughters did not have the slightest fear.
Wang Xi hurriedly and calmly arched his hand and said: "The emperor is at ease, the terrain of Dinghuai Gate is dangerous, and the Tartars do not have a big killing weapon, so it is not so easy to attack the city." The lowly rank must protect the emperor with his life. ”
“……”
Zhu Cihong wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, he knew that he wanted to keep the huge family business of the old Zhu family, this situation was something that he had to experience, even if he was afraid, did he still have room to escape?
"That's it, isn't it just death?! Even if I die, there is still the third, the fourth and fifth, the ancestor is watching from the sky, and the prestige of the ancestor cannot be weakened......"
Zhu Cihong closed his eyes, and while praying to God and worshiping Buddha, he kept chattering in a low voice.
When Wang Xi saw Zhu Cihong's appearance, he didn't say much, but he couldn't help but look up to Zhu Cihong in his heart.
This young son of heaven doesn't look very majestic, but whether he is a person or a person, he can do something, and he must report this matter to the marshal when he goes back.
"Kill!"
"Stop them, don't let them come up to the city......"
"Haha, hack these lowly Nikan...... to death"
"Warriors, rush forward ......"
In a short time, there were already three or four hundred real Manchuria with yellow flags rushing into the urn city, tyrannically attacking the Ming army on the city.
As they expected, these southern soldiers are not the same at all, and they are a gap when they rush casually, which is no different from killing pigs and sheep.
If they hadn't occupied a favorable terrain and placed it on a flat place, a single charge would have been enough, and any extra force would have been superfluous.
Ao Bai also came to the front of the city gate at this time, laughing and commanding with presumptuousness, but he was no longer in a hurry to step forward, and there were servants around him who had quickly erected a simple fortification for him and guarded him thoroughly.
He is now in the top 10 in the Yellow Flag, and he is still rising violently.
At this time, although he also had some unstoppable itchy hands, he still cherished his life, many years of battlefield polishing, especially the experience of several battles with the model army in recent years, made him know very well when to do something, and many times, it was not he who personally charged into battle to solve the problem.
At the head of the city, all kinds of emergency information were constantly reported to Wang Xi's side like a big set.
Wang Xi suddenly smiled bitterly.
He still thinks too highly of these Dinghuai Gate defenders, with such a unique advantage, he can't even hold on to his mother's minutes......
But at this time, there are quite a few real Manchurians who have come in, and they have already achieved their goals!
Immediately shouted to Qiang Ye: "First give that big Tartar a few shots, shoot on time, and close the net!" ”
"Yes!"
Qiang Ye and his people had been preparing for a long time and quickly started to act.
Several red-coated cannons at the head of the city had already quietly pointed their muzzles in the direction of Aobai, and several gunners quickly lit the fuse.
"Smack, smack!"
At the same time, directly above the suspension bridge, several good hands of the model army also lowered the rope hook and stuck on the rope of the suspension bridge with great precision.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At the same time, the three nearest red-coated cannons also fired, and three large black iron eggs swept straight towards Aobai.
"Master, be careful!"
Several minions around Ao Bai were about to be scared away, and several of them rushed to Ao Bai frantically like stacked arhats, throwing Ao Bai to the ground.
Aobai's powerful fighting instinct is also amazing, his movements are even faster than a few minions, and he is prostrate on the ground in the first place.
"Boom!"
"Ahh
At such a close distance, the accuracy of the artillery was still very good, and at the moment one of the shells directly hit a large piece of wooden planks used to set up a stall in front of Aobai, and one of the smashed planks was sharp, directly inserted into the ribs of an unlucky minion on him.
The red blood gushed out like a spring, and this unlucky minion obviously couldn't do it, screaming like a pig.
"Bang Bang ......"
The two cannonballs next to them were a little less accurate, but they almost flew sideways against their scalps, and the hot burning sensation could be felt even when their faces were already attached to the mud.
"I'm @#¥%, why is it a little bit worse......"
Wang Xi, Luo Yangxing, Zhang Dingguo, and Zhu Cihong couldn't help but run to the battlement to watch the results at this time.
Seeing that he didn't succeed at such a close distance, Zhu Cihong couldn't control his swear words.
Wang Xi's fist also smashed his head in annoyance, he shouldn't have pinned his hopes on these southern soldiers' gunners.
But he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly hugged Zhu Cihong and stepped back, "Emperor, come back!" ”
Only then did the rest of the people react, and they quickly retreated.
At the same time, several veteran sappers of the Model Army had accurately ignited several large explosive packets, followed by several large incendiary bombs, and slid directly down the rope hook.
"Boom!"
"Boom ......"
In a moment, a terrifying explosion blew up the tail of the drawbridge, and then the raging fire raged.
Just like the slow motion of a large area of the United States, this large suspension bridge, which has been used for an unknown number of years, slowly falls into the moat formed by the tributaries of the Qinhuai River.
