Chapter 106: Capture

It's not that hard to blast the city open.

On the fourth day, the sky was not dead, and the south of Baigucheng fired three cannons, and twelve small flag arrows burst into the sky on the east and west sides, and launched a siege signal.

The Burmese army, which was caught off guard, was suddenly awakened at the head of the city, and then the artillery that had adjusted the angle as early as the day opened fire in unison, blasting open the Baigu South City Gate, which had been rested for a while, and Lou Qimai, the vanguard officer of Chen Mujun, took the lead in attacking the urn city with his own artillery team.

In just one stick of incense, all three doors were broken.

Blocking Lou Qimai's urn city gate is also uncomfortable, the flag army with a big shield to push the two-pound cannon to the city gate to close to the release, breaking the heavy door bolt, the hurried defenders at the last moment lowered the jack gate, the boiling hot oil is too late to prepare, can only use sheep stones, sassal wood and other city defense equipment to resist the enemy, but this can not cause damage to the Lou Qimai army who drilled into the city gate hole.

A few more cannon shots, except for a few big holes, Lou Qimai could only reluctantly withdraw, commanding the sergeant to climb the ladder from the nearby urn city to climb on all sides while blasting the jack gate with a powder cartridge, this is just no way, everyone knows that this will not work.

But in Lou Qimai, it's attitude.

Chen Mu did not attack the city in person, but outside the city, he commanded all his troops to storm the city gate tower with a ladder, which was slightly easier to set up a ladder from outside the city than the urn city gate that could not be broken by artillery.

The bombardment of the past few days has reduced the female wall on the city by more than half, especially the city gate tower is flat, and the guns under the city can shoot directly at the defenders of the city, reducing the burden on the siege troops, and when the Ming army marched to the city, the jumping flag army with short knives and axes quickly broke through the road, and when the bird guns boarded the Xiongcheng of Burma, it was able to officially announce that the city gate changed hands.

On the wall, which lacked shelter, the Burmese army could not stop the pace of the flag army.

"Report! General Deng of Dongcheng has taken the head of the city and is attacking the urn city! ”

Deng Zilong is still Deng Zilong, he is not as cowardly as Chen Mu, seeing that the first round of siege troops was frustrated, he personally drew his sword and led his family to climb the city, with a heavy armor long soldier, he led his family to rush left and right at the head of the city, killing the enemy invincible, and took the city gate tower before Lou Qimai let go of the urn city jack gate, and captured the urn city in an instant.

Chen Mu was overjoyed and asked the herald banner army, "Are you attacking the city with General Deng?" ”

If this herald is the banner army that attacked the city with Deng Zilong, and then came to give the order after taking the city gate tower, I am afraid that Deng Zilong has already taken it together with the urn city.

"Back to the marshal, no, General Deng has given an order to us before the battle, watch from outside the city, and the general will report to the general when he captures the city tower, captures the urn city, and enters the city!"

"Understood, let's go down, General Deng is brave, and the flag army that is about to take down the urn city is already on the way!"

Inform the Banner Army of the progress of the offensive of the Lou Qimai Division, and let the Banner Army go back and wait for the news, Chen Mu looked back at the south of the city, the yellow flag has been tied to the south of the city gate, and the flag army is rushing up, from the city gate tower to the east and west sides of the attack.

The sky is slightly brighter, the sun in the east pierces the white light, there is no trace of the sun, the fire and the thunder explosion in the palm of the city are still very conspicuous, it is easy to see that the general trend is on the side of the Ming army, and his army is invincible.

The defenders of the city were fighting and retreating to the southeast and southwest corners.

On the city was the commander Huang Dexiang, and what was the situation of Lou Qimai's department who was ordered to attack the urn city, Chen Mu could only listen to the messengers who came and went to report the news, and he couldn't see it intuitively.

Outside the moat, Shao Tingda, who was wrapped in his head, buckled his iron pocket, and the big bag with the swelling on his forehead collided with the helmet still hurting his teeth, and he gave Chen Mu an order for the third time: "Brother Mu, let me go, this city is about to be breached!" ”

The reckless insect was anxious and angry: This is a great city, I was the first to see it, and I was the first to enter it, but because of a big bag on my head, do I want to be the last to enter the city with his cowardly brother?

He wasn't happy!

The elder brother is the minister of Nanyang who influences the current situation, which can not be damaged at all, he entered the city with Chen Mu, how embarrassed was he?

Chen Mu didn't deliberately prevent the reckless insects from attacking the city, nor was he afraid that the reckless insects would have an accident in the city, so he fought honestly, according to their armor and arms, the battle profits of the banner army, compared with the armaments of the Burmese army, it was difficult for the commander to die on the battlefield.

He just didn't want the reckless to take the lead again.

The premise of the commander not to die is to fight honestly and not to take the lead.

In the battle outside the city, the reckless worm and the two departments had already made enough merits, he smiled at Shao Tingda, raised his whip and pointed to the city gate tower in the northwest corner and said: "Do you see that city gate tower?" ”

As soon as Chen Mu's voice fell, Shao Tingda knew what it meant, and opened his hand to clasp his fists and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll go and dismantle it for you!" ”

The minister of Nanyang waved his hand and ordered, and the banner army that had already been ordered by the reckless insect to line up in front of the moat with a bird gun on the city immediately lined up, set up a cloud ladder and rushed towards the city.

Shao Tingda's troops raised their weapons and ran in line, but before they reached the city gate, Bai Yuanjie's troops and Deng Zilong's heralds arrived one after another.

Deng Zilong did not surprise Chen Mu by taking the urn city, and the message from Bai Yuanjie's side was interesting.

Bai Yuanjie directly skipped attacking the city gate tower, guarding the Baigu River over there, and the banner army blocked the river before, so he didn't put the only one of the four city gates with a drawbridge outside the city, but he didn't expect the enemy to put gunpowder under the bridge, and the drawbridge was blown up at the beginning of the war.

It took them a lot of effort to build their way out with the planks of the ladder, and the defenders of the West Gate had time to prepare for the defense of the city, causing his men to suffer a lot of damage under the city, and until now they have not taken the gate tower.

However, Brother Jingchen is also a ruthless character, after the cannon opened the city gate, he directly carried the ladder to the urn city, and his command Hu Liangpeng was the first to climb the urn city gatehouse, snatched the jack gate, saw the enemy troops in the city gushing out, released more than 200 people and hurriedly descended, ordered his subordinates to put guns on the steps of the city to block the enemy, and personally led the army to fight bloody on the city wall.

Therefore, the news sent by Bai Yuanjie was that they had seized the urn city, and the west gate could already be directly killed into the city.

Shao Tingdabu ascended the city tower, supplementing the stalemate of Huang Dexiang's department, and when the sun rose, Chen Mu saw that the southwest corner of the city tower had fluttered the Ming inlaid dragon flag.

The recklessness has been captured!

At this point in the battle, Chen Mucai stepped on the high-headed horse, paced forward with him, raised his right palm and slowly pushed forward.

The Celestial Empire has no borders to stand up, the left flag book Nanyang Military Office, the right flag book and the left capital Governor Chen, waiting for a long time for the military government to guard the flag army with a good spur of the bird gun marching in line, the flag officer in the long formation or carrying or holding or helmet spears to provoke the Ming Dynasty flags.

Thirty-three artillery teams directly under the general were deployed by the moat, and the artillery that had already been adjusted by the general was ordered to fire out at a high angle in the city in turn.

With the help of Mang Yingli, under the wave of refugees who fled a few days ago, there were no more people in the city.

He didn't know how much fighting the warriors in Mang Yingli could have, or if someone had already fled to the north of the city, or how bad the situation in Mang Yingli was, it didn't matter to Chen Mu.

If you don't make the enemy worse, the snow will be meaningless.

He added fire to the deserters in Mangyingli.

Before the military government guards who followed Chen Mu to march to the southern urn city, the soldiers pushed up various carriages, where there were eight remaining Shenwei machine arrows, and the rest were filled with tiger squat cannons and loose cylinders, gunpowder cylinders and palm mines, and drove into the urn city that had been captured by the Ming army.

"Isn't it just street fighting?" Chen Mu took a deep breath, his body with his helmet and armor swaying gently with the mount's kick, and he took a deep breath: "Come on!" ”
