363 Confessions
Ruan Dacheng, with the officials of the court, the princes, the nobles and representatives of the gentry and the local gentry knelt down outside the Chaoyang Gate to welcome Prince Yu Duoduo, Zhuqizhu also began to act.
He personally led the East Army, the West Army, the South Army and the North Army of Zhen entered from Da'ande Gate in the west of the city, passed through Jubao Gate and entered the inner city, and walked all the way and soon arrived at Chaoyang Gate.
Ma Qiancheng and Ma Xianglin and his son led the Imperial Guards, Pingdong Army, Pingxi Army, Pingnan Army, Pingbei Army, Andong Army, Anxi Army, Annan Army and Anbei Army entered the city from Qilin Gate in the southeast corner of the outer city, and then arranged the formation and slowly pressed towards Chaoyang Gate.
The Tunwei of the Five City Military Police rushed out from the city gates, ran up to the city walls, and closed the inner and outer city gates one by one.
Prince Yu Duoduo was walking on the red carpet with a smile on his face and walked towards Ruan Dacheng and others who were kneeling on the ground. The suspension bridge outside Chaoyang Gate suddenly rose slowly, and the city gate began to slowly close. There were countless Ming soldiers appearing on the city wall.
What's going on?
Have you fallen into the trap?
Seeing this, Duoduo's face changed drastically.
Ruan Dacheng, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the squeaking sound of hinges, and couldn't help but look back and was stunned.
Who is closing the suspension bridge to close the city gate?
With a "slam" sound, several large flags suddenly erected on the city gate tower.
What are the generals of Zhendong, Li, Generals of Zhenxi, Sun, Generals of Zhennan, Liu, Generals of Zhenbei, Ai, what is this thing?
Ruan Dacheng looked at the flag on the city gate tower, then looked back at Prince Yu Duoduo, who was full of gloomy faces, and he was completely stunned.
Duoduo couldn't help but snorted, "Ruan Dacheng, what are you doing?"
Ruan Dacheng knelt on the ground and stuttered: "I, I, I, I, I don't know!"
have no idea?
When Duoduo heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
This matter is too strange. If Ruan Dacheng designed to ambush them, they would have no need to take risks in person. They would run outside Chaoyang Gate to greet him!
Before he could figure out what was going on, a scout suddenly rushed from behind. The scouts on the horse had no time to stop the horse, and flew down from the horse, knelt on one knee and said anxiously: "Report, Prince, about 100,000 enemy troops are pushing tens of thousands of chariots and pressing from the direction of the Qilin Gate. It is less than ten miles away from us."
this!
Upon hearing this, Duoduo waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, get on the horse and prepare for the fight."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his mount.
Ruan Dacheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was already pale and sweating profusely. Now that he was finished, Prince Yu would probably think that this was a trap they set!
Sure enough, after Duoduo got on the horse, he waved his hand and said coldly: "Catch them all."
A bunch of invaders rushed up and quickly tied Ruan Dacheng, Zhu Guobi, Qian Qianyi, Zhao Zhilong and others up.
Jiannu was indeed trapped, but this trap was not set up by Ruan Dacheng and the others, but by Crazy King Zhu Qi.
On the city gate tower, Zhu Qizhu couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.
Unfortunately, it is too troublesome to lift the cannon and tiger squat cannons up to the five-meter-high city wall, and it is quite troublesome to remove the cannons from the cannons and then install them back. Therefore, he did not order anyone to lift the cannons and tiger squat cannons up.
Otherwise, thousands of burst bombs would be bombarded, and Duoduo and his generals in armor might be fine. Ruan Dacheng and others lying on the ground would definitely be covered in iron pieces, and they would be in pain!
Humph, you traitors, wait for me.
Today, no one including Jiannu and you, can’t escape!
He raised his telescope and looked at Jiannu's battle formation, then looked at the vehicle formation that was approaching in the distance, and then ordered: "Dingguo, I hope you can go down and line up and prepare to go out of the city to attack Jiannu."
When Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang heard this, they said excitedly and obeyed the order, and then ran under the city wall.
At this time, Duoduo had ordered all his men to turn around and prepare to fight the 100,000 enemy troops that suddenly emerged. As for the enemy troops in the city, he no longer cared about it. Anyway, he had already closed the city gate, and if he wanted to come out, he had to open the city gate.
There were 110,000 to 100,000, and they seemed to have an advantage in terms of numbers, but he frowned deeply and had no confidence at all.
The enemies that suddenly emerged were probably the army under the Crazy King, and they had artillery!
He naturally knew the power of the cannons. As long as the number of cannons reaches a certain level, it will be like the battle outside Yangzhou City, forming a one-sided massacre.
Alas, I hope the enemy doesn't have that many artillery.
He frowned and pondered for a while, then ordered: "The sword and shield are in front, the spearmen are in the middle, the archers are in the back, prepare rockets, and the cavalry wings are spread out and array."
I'm afraid I'm going to use my life to pile up!
When Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde heard this, their faces changed slightly. The Eight Banners of Han were all their subordinates!
However, they dared not say anything and could only obey orders.
Not long after, the formation was set up, and Duoduo ordered without hesitation: "Blade, shield, spearman, archer charge, cavalry prepare!"
Before he could see the enemy, he ordered a charge. This was simply to let the infantrymen of the Eight Banners of Han go up to eat shells and create opportunities for the cavalry!
Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were helpless and could only hit the horse forward, waved and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!" More than 70,000 infantrymen roared in unison and ran towards the Qilin Gate.
In the distance, Ma Qiancheng held up his telescope and glanced at it, then decisively ordered: "Stop moving forward, line up the chariots, seal all roads, and put down the support and prepare to fire the gun."
Duoduo's move is indeed a good way to deal with artillery, because artillery has an attack distance, and once the distance between the two sides is shortened to less than a hundred-step artillery, it will basically be abandoned.
He ordered the infantry to rush forward to catch the enemy off guard. After all, it takes time to get the cannon mount and load ammunition. When the enemy reacts, they are lined up to prepare for firing the cannon, the infantry probably has rushed to the front of them.
This move may be useful when dealing with a low-power telescope like him, and can only see clearly the enemy about a mile ahead. However, facing Ma Qiancheng and others holding a high-power telescope, his move has basically no effect!
Before the Han Eight Banners infantry rushed within five miles of the chariot formation, all the cannons under Ma Qiancheng were set up.
Before he could all cannons were installed, he only had 100 cannons, including the Imperial Guards, Qi Family Army, Imperial Guards, Pingdong Army, Pingxi Army, Pingnan Army, and Pingbei Army. The other legions were equipped with tiger squat cannons, so he only had two hundred cannons under his command, but there were more than 4,000 tiger squat cannons!
Humph, you bully people with the benefits of artillery in the battle of Hunhe. Today, I will let you taste the taste of eating shells.
Ma Qiancheng raised his hand without hesitation and ordered: "Cannon cannon loads solid cast iron bullets, prepare."
"KaKaKa", two hundred cannons were ready in a blink of an eye.
Ma Qiancheng raised his telescope again and calculated the distance between the two sides. It was not until the Jiannu infantry entered the range that he decisively ordered: "Cannon cannon cast iron solid bullets fired five rounds in a salvo, let it go!"
"Boom boom boom", a violent roar of artillery sounded, and two hundred shells instantly fell into the Han Eight Banners infantry formation, and the sword and shield hands in the front row were immediately overturned.
Duoduo looked at all this coldly without frowning.
Anyway, it was not the elite of the Eight Banners under their command that he didn't feel sorry for him!
Judging from the density of the cannon roar, the enemy should have only more than 200 long-range cannons, and this number is acceptable. After all, more than 200 cannons can kill up to two or three thousand people in one round of volleys, and the infantry can rush up to four or five cannons at most.
In other words, the infantry rushes to the chariot and loses more than 10,000 people at most.
He had more than 70,000 Han Eight Banners under his command, and losing more than 10,000 people was nothing. He just didn't know how many short-range artillery guns the enemy had. As long as the number was not too large, he would let his infantry rush to the chariot formation and silence the artillery, and the opportunity would come.
By then, more than 30,000 cavalrymen will enter the chariot formation in one fell swoop, and even if the enemy troops are 100,000, it will not be enough for them to cut!
