"Dong...dong...dong..."
As the explosions ended, the bandit suppression army's military drums began to beat.
"It seems that the entire city was taken down just like this. It's amazing that this bandit-suppressing army actually hid such powerful firearms." Zhang Fangyi said with a sigh as he looked at the bandit-suppressing army that surged towards the city to attack.
"No, luckily we were quick anyway, otherwise it wouldn't have been us who died." Liu Datong replied with a face full of joy.
The smoke on the battlefield has been blown away by the river wind, and the sun is pouring down from the sky, but the clouds that block the sun have drifted away.
The war drums were beating continuously, and the ladder team rushing in front had already set up the long ladder to the notch of the female wall of the city wall.
Some soldiers of the bandit suppression army who rushed quickly had even begun to climb up the long ladder, and even the slow door-ramming siege vehicle was almost near the city gate. However, no one came out to defend the city.
"It seems that things are really going to change." Sun Xizheng murmured as he looked at Zhang Ruichu, who was chatting and laughing with his men.
After saying that, he saw Sun Xizheng pull out a small dagger from his waist with his right hand, and lift up his braid the size of a copper coin with his left hand. He raised the knife and lowered it, and the braid was cut off.
"Master Sun, what are you doing?" The soldiers around Sun Xizheng asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
"The situation is going to change, so there is no need to grow this hair anymore." Sun Xizheng looked determined, without a trace of nostalgia.
He then handed the dagger in his hand to the soldier and said, "You should cut it too! It's not good to keep it."
"This...!" The soldier subconsciously took the dagger and felt confused looking at the dagger in his hand.
"That's great! Mr. Sun, you're actually ahead of us." Sun Xizheng looked over, but Liu Datong, who heard the noise not far away, was looking over and said.
"Where, where. Compared with Mr. Liu, I am still much slower." Sun Xizheng raised his hands and bowed to Liu Datong and replied with a smile.
"Haha... Master Sun is not too late. I, Mr. Liu, still have a lot to learn from, Mr. Sun!" Liu Datong said unceremoniously.
At this moment, on the city walls, there were already agile bandit suppressing troops jumping into the city wall. At a glance, the Eight Banners soldiers in the city wall road were in a miserable state.
Many of them were directly blown up until their orifices were bleeding, and many of them were bloody and bloody. Even if the person's body remained intact, the shock wave generated by the explosion would kill him.
There were also faint sounds of wailing. It turned out that some defenders saw the emergency and jumped down the city road, breaking their legs.
Although these people were lucky enough not to be directly shocked to death, such a situation would be worse than death. It's unclear whether there were any internal injuries from the shock, but deafness and disability are inevitable.
The bandit-suppressing troops who jumped into the city wall didn't think much about it. They immediately stepped over the corpses scattered everywhere, quickly ran over to occupy the city head, and opened the city gate.
Seeing the bandit suppressing troops quickly opening the city gate, the Eight Banners soldiers watching not far away have not yet fully recovered from the sound of shelling.
"Kill..."
Hundreds of thousands of siege and bandit troops were shouting. Even the siege vehicle used to hit the city gate had not yet reached the city gate, and the city gates slowly opened.
"Brother Luo, I really didn't expect it! The gates all over the city were taken down so easily. Just now I was worried that this would be another tough battle. I was so worried that I couldn't eat!" After opening the city gate, he quickly followed the team and ran towards Cheng Sanzhang. He said happily to Luo Feiyu who had the same small flag next to him.
"Haha... Don't tell me, I didn't expect it either. It's really unexpected. No wonder their veterans just said that they don't have to worry as soon as Brother Six comes, and they can eat with peace of mind. At first, I doubted whether they were We were joking, but now it seems true." Luo Feiyu also replied with a happy face.
"Don't talk about it. You said that Sixth Brother is so powerful, why can't he become the king? If Sixth Brother becomes the emperor, we can be regarded as following the merits of the dragon!" Cheng Sanzhang asked with confusion.
At this moment, Cheng Sanzhang was in a very happy mood. He didn't even feel that he was in a war at all, and he didn't feel any fear at all. He just felt like he could just follow everyone and charge.
"I'm not very clear about this either. If we could understand clearly, we wouldn't have to be here." Luo Feiyu said, also confused.
"That's right." Cheng Sanzhang said and nodded in agreement.
"Hey, boy, you are short-sighted! Sixth Brother has already said that those with lofty ideals can only become king by conquering Nanjing and paying homage to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum." I saw a soldier not far from Cheng Sanzhang. The bandit army explained to him as if he couldn't stand it.
"Brother, where is Nanjing?" Cheng Sanzhang asked in confusion.
"This is Nanjing...Nanjing!" The bandit-suppressing soldier muttered a few words, but he was unable to answer Cheng Sanzhang's question.
It's no wonder that the bandit-suppressing army didn't know that in this era of inconvenient transportation, people rarely traveled far without special matters. And if knowledge is not widespread, it is even more impossible to read a map.
"Haha...Wang Datou. Let you brag. Follow Jun Zheng and show off everywhere if you know better. You don't know!" Another person next to Wang Datou said mockingly.
"Li Liuliu, you are so complacent, you know?" Wang Datou shot back unconvinced.
"Of course, Nanjing is Jiangning City. Nanjing is the name of the early Ming Dynasty." Li Liuliu said with a proud face.
"Then where is Nanjing? You haven't said it yet?" Wang Datou asked again, because he didn't even know where Jiangning Mansion was.
"Hey... Datou, Datou, you really don't understand. If Nanjing is Jiangning City, then of course it is... in Jiangning. Yes, it is in Jiangning!" Li Liuliu replied affirmatively.
"Well, it seems to make sense!" Wang Datou, Cheng Sanzhang and others nodded in agreement.
"But where is Jiang Ning?" Wang Datou asked again.
"Well, well, you are so stupid, and you won't understand where it is. So there is no need to say anything more." Li Liuliu hurriedly replied.
"Li Liuliu, you are really good." At this time, another person who couldn't stand it said to Li Liuliu and others.
"Monitor 1." Li Liuliu shouted immediately after looking at the speaker.
"Okay, let's get ready to enter the city gate. Everyone, please be careful and don't lose your life here. Nanjing is in Jiangsu Province. Everyone needs to survive. When the time comes, we will go to Nanjing to see Brother Six become king." The squad leader shouted loudly shouted.
"yes…"
All the bandit suppressing troops answered happily in unison.
The bandit suppressing troops poured into the city like a torrent. Only then did the Eight Banners soldiers in the city come back to their senses and prepare to guard.
However, except for a few people who rushed over and were chopped down, the other guards were watching in confusion.
Note 1: Due to my limited level, I really can’t figure out how to organize the military system so that it doesn’t look inconsistent. Therefore, this book now directly uses the current military system, which is: the squad, platoon, company, battalion, regiment, brigade and division military system. If any book friend has a better military system, please reply in the book comment area! Thanks!
Sometimes when writing a history book, you need a lot of reference materials, and sometimes they look a little confusing. Therefore, there are often glitches and errors in the information. Please correct me if there are any errors. Thank you!
