When Zhu Youjian and A Qing climbed to the city, they immediately saw the overwhelming army of bandits outside the city. They could not see at first sight and quickly rushed down the city. The three generals, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and Qi Jiguang, were all glaring at the bandits outside the city, their eyes were spitting fire.

The 20,000 new troops were holding the fire gun, and the muzzles were all aimed at the bandits under the city.

The officers and soldiers of the Eight Thousand Shenji Camp also held bird guns and carried hundreds of red-clothed cannons beside them.

Two thousand Qi's army, ten thousand people were holding muskets in their hands, and five thousand people were holding flowering bullets in their hands.

The other part of them held shields in their hands. They were always ready to rush up to block the rain of arrows with shields for the other brothers when their opponents fired arrows.

This is the first time Zhu Youjian has seen such a large-scale battle on the spot, but he is not panicked, but instead arouses his strong fighting spirit.

Seeing Zhu Youjian coming up, Sun Chengzong and others' expressions changed, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him:

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have come up. It's too dangerous. We're enough here to come and protect the emperor from returning to the palace."

"Do you think I am a vase? Not only today, the bandits will not be destroyed and the east will not be expelled, but I will personally lead the army to fight and focus on the battle, and don't worry about me."

The three of them looked at each other, and their faces showed dismay, but none of them dared to disobey Zhu Youjian's orders and turned around and looked outside the city.

"Come on the shield and pay attention to protecting the emperor. If there is any problem with the emperor, you all die."

"yes"

Dozens of soldiers holding shields hurriedly stepped forward to protect Zhu Youjian, who was a black line.

However, he knew that everyone was doing it for his own good, and Zhu Youjian did not refuse again.

The bandits outside the city were getting closer and closer, and Sun Chengzong waved his flag in his hand:

"fire"

"Boom..."

The mountain shook, and the city walls felt shaking. Fifty red-clothed cannons began to bombard the bandits. Fifty cannons were shot and the other fifty cannons began to fill shells after fifty cannons were shot.

Hundreds of cannons bombarded the bandits outside the city one after another. Outside the city was filled with smoke, and the bandits were fighting to cry for their fathers and mothers and corpses were everywhere.

Those who rushed in front fell to the ground. Before they could get up, the artillery shells from behind arrived one after another, and the bandits fell one after another.

After several rounds of bombardment, it is conservatively estimated that two thousand bandits have become cannon fodder, but these people are really desperate and are still rushing forward desperately.

In the tent of the Central Army that was breaking the rebellion, two bandits, Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, were drifting around and drinking and chatting, and they did not take the capital seriously.

There are their inner supporters in the city. At critical moments, they can easily win the capital with their own support and external support. They have a lot of money and the women in the palace.

"Military Advisor Wang, the city is not in danger of fighting. They defended the city with all their might. The artillery fire was very fierce, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties. General Liu asked to withdraw the infantry and cavalry and go to the firearm battalion."

Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing were both stunned. They had already received information and there were not many artillery in the city.

Even if there are some artillery, there are not much ammunition. What's going on today? There are not many defensive forces. Did there be a major mistake in the intelligence?

Li Zicheng's face darkened and his eyes looked at Niu Jinxing:

"Military advisor, your internal correspondence information is unreliable. What should I do now?"

Niu Jinxing laughed:

"Don't worry, the city has no force at all, they are all defeated soldiers, and there are no shells. I ordered Liu Zongmin to change the formation to avoid the shelling and continue to attack."

"yes"

The commander immediately passed Niu Jinxing's order to Liu Zongmin:

"Report to the general and the military advisor's instructions, there are not many shells in the city, so don't worry, change the formation and attack the city with a strong force."

"Don't change, you Niu Jinxing, you stand and speak without any pain. I'm here to fight. Damn drinks in the back. Wait until I capture the capital, and see how I will deal with you."

Liu Zongmin was not even afraid of Li Zicheng, let alone Niu Jinxing. He had saved Li Zicheng's life many times before.

In order to follow Li Zicheng, he even killed two of his wives.

While cursing Niu Jinxing, he looked up at the hundreds of red-clothed cannons on the top of the capital city, and Liu Zongmin wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Tell me the order, advance in a single formation, quickly advance to the capital city, forcibly climb the city, and take the lead in climbing the city, and after breaking the city, women will be selected by you."

The rebel army was not only a peasant army, but also a few bandits. They all experienced many massacres.

After hearing Liu Zongmin's promise, the team quickly turned into dozens of long teams, all forming a sub-shaped shape and continued to rush forward.

The rebels in the siege this time were about 100,000, most of them were recruits, that is, cannon fodder.

Their infantry attacked the city, and the cavalry waited for the attack behind them. Although they charged in a row, they looked down from the top of the city and were densely packed with people.

Qi Jiguang was the commander-in-chief of the city. When he saw the formation of the rebel army, he immediately understood Liu Zongmin's intention, and Qi Jiguang sneered.

"Transfer the order, change the flowering bullet.

"yes"

The flowering bullet was exchanged by Zhu Youjian from the system mall last night. There were about 50,000. Because the bandits changed their formation, the original shells had much less lethality.

The soldiers of Shenji Camp immediately began to load flowering bullets in the cannons, and waved the flag in Qi Jiguang's hand:

"fire"

"Boom..."

Fifty cannons fired again, and flowering bullets exploded not far from the riot army. The riot army had not taken it seriously yet, and they thought it was the previous artillery shells.

But after the shells exploded, these rebels became miserable. After the flower bombs exploded, gunpowder and debris flew everywhere, and the area of ​​killing was large.

Even though they changed their formation, they still could not avoid the powerful bombardment of the flower bullets. The wolf howled and screamed constantly, and the people fell in rows.

After several rounds of bombardment of hundreds of cannons, nearly 10,000 casualties were killed or injured, but they did not retreat and continued to carry the ladder to rush down the city.

Seeing that his subordinates suffered so much casualties, Liu Zhongmin was so angry that he screamed. While cursing Niu Jinxing, he also vowed that once he conquered the capital, he would definitely slaughter the Ming Dynasty and avenge his brothers.

The rebel army also had firearms and red-clothed cannons, all of which were disarmed from the Ming army.

But the amount of it can be used is not very large, and the gunpowder is not sufficient. It is not easy to use it until the critical moment.

After paying nearly 20,000 casualties, the crusade finally rushed to the range of the bow and arrow. At the command of Liu Zongmin, the crusade began to shoot at the top of the city with the bow and arrow.

The distance was too close and the artillery almost lost its effect. Qi Jiguang waved the flag in his hand again:

"Stop the shelling, the new army is ready to shoot firearms, the Shenji Battalion is ready to bloom bullets, and once the enemy approaches the city wall, hit me hard."

"Get order"

A rain of arrows hit, and the soldiers immediately raised their shields and rushed to everyone, using their shields to block the arrows shot from the city.
