The gunshots were still ringing like exploding beans, and bullets were raining down. Coupled with the smoke columns exploded by the shells of the Weiyuan general cannon and small-caliber mortars, clouds of smoke rose up on the hillside outside the Golden Gate.

After the gunfire became sparse, the shouts of killing began.

The Qingyao pikemen wearing blue cloth armor held up their spears and carried earth bags. Under the cover of the archers, they once again launched a wave of attacks on the Ming army's "trench line"!

The 10,000 new officers and soldiers of Zhenglan Banner under Sun Sike, organized as commanders and commanders, took turns attacking the "trench line" outside the Golden Gate like a stormy wave, with one wave retreating and another arriving. As dusk fell,

The Qing army's offensive has become even more frenzied. They have already suffered huge casualties. The corpses of the Qing army wearing blue cloth armor lay scattered on the hillside. In the second trench in front of the Golden Gate, there were even more layers of

The layers are stacked one after another, which is shocking. But the troops that follow up are still coming in waves.

Sun Sike's general's flag was once again planted on the Golden Gate, and he himself took his two commanders, two counselors, and more than ten first-class guards who were ordered to supervise the battle to the outside of the Golden Gate.

More than a dozen first-class guards all put on yellow mandarin jackets, carried waist knives, and stood in a row behind the second trench outside the Golden Gate with Sun Sike's Goshiha.

The retreating Qing troops were blocked when they arrived, and the officers leading the troops were picked out one by one and escorted to Sun Sike. If Sun Sike thought the fight was not good, he would have his head cut off on the spot.

Rows of spears have been planted on the Golden Gate, with a bloody human head hanging on each spear.

The soldiers who retreated will be reorganized, led by Goshiha or the imperial guards designated by Sun Sike, and then retreat to the back to line up again, waiting for the next round of offensive... Although the sky is getting darker and darker.

It was dark, but including Sun Sike, the prominent figures in the Qing army's Jiangnan camp were unwilling to give up.

Because they knew very well that once the bloody battle this afternoon was lost, the new Eight Banners soldiers below would have no experience and knew that they would have no chance to capture Jiangning City. Moreover, in order to launch this offensive, Sun Sike had already sent out all the weapons he could.

All the money has been sent out. It can be said that I have spent all my money. If I still can't win, then I will have to die to repay the king!

After witnessing two or three hours of bloody battles close to the front, Sun Sike's face was already very ugly. He stood motionless outside the Golden Gate, not caring about the Ming army rockets that flew over from time to time, and just stared straight ahead.

.

His men had tried their best. They were coaxed by the money, forced by the supervising team, and stimulated by the hope of looting Jiangning City, and launched wave after wave of charges.

But there was no way to break through the seemingly thin "trench defense line" guarded by the Ming army... He had never dreamed that trenches and earth walls would have such a good bulletproof effect, nor did he expect that the

The intensive firepower of the flintlock gun was so powerful, and I never expected that a long knife could be put on the barrel of the flintlock gun to turn it into a short spear.

Although this kind of short spear is not as powerful as a long spear or a broadsword when used as a cold weapon to fight the enemy, but... the traitors do not respect martial ethics. They will never practice martial ethics in this life.

They would load ammunition into the chamber of the flintlock gun and then come out to engage in hand-to-hand combat! Moreover, they also wore the kind of thunder hammer that could be exploded by pulling a rope. Before launching a bayonet attack, they would first smash a wave of grenade hammers, and then

Then they charged with their flintlock guns loaded with bullets and bayonets.

With such a fighting method, let alone the New Eight Banners under Sun Sike, if you ask the old Manchu white-armored soldiers who were invincible in the world to come in, they will still be defeated!

In Sun Sike's sight, he watched helplessly as another wave of officers and soldiers rushed forward and were repelled by the fusiliers of the Ming Army who had no martial ethics. He suddenly thought of something and shouted: "If you see them, come here quickly!"

"

"嗻!"

A tall man with a slender face, Goshha, responded and reached Sun Sike's side in a few steps.

This Geshiha was selected by Sun Sike from the Green Camp soldiers from Gansu, and his name was Yue Shenglong.

Sun Sike handed a just-written testament to Yue Shenglong, "This is my legacy... You take him and try every means to get out. This legacy is related to the survival of our Qing Dynasty."

, must give it to the emperor!"

Yue Shenglong was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything else. He just took Sun Sike's legacy with trembling hands, then bowed to him and turned around to leave.

...

At the other end of the battle line, Zhuge Zhengyang was sitting on a horse, with a rocket launcher battalion next to him.

Eighteen six-unit rocket launchers were arranged in two rows, and they were firing rockets at Golden Gate and Sifang City one after another... not in a salvo, but one after another.

If it were a salvo, eighteen six-unit rocket launchers would be able to fire 108 sugar-powder rockets at one go. It would take less than half a quarter of an hour to complete the reloading and launch a second salvo. Also.

That is to say, two volleys can be fired in a quarter of an hour, and two hundred and sixteen rockets can be fired, and one thousand seventeen or eight hundred rockets can be fired in eight quarters of an hour!

But this method of fighting consumes too much ammunition, so even the "local tycoon Ming Army" cannot fight like this... Although the output of sugar is high enough, the rocket itself is a handicraft product, not a product of the machine industry, and must be relied on

Coppersmiths and blacksmiths hold hammers, sweat profusely, and hammer out one piece after another, but the output cannot be high.

The manual workshops that produce these rockets are far away in Foshan, Guangdong, and the products have to be sent all the way to the front lines in Jiangnan and Jiangxi.

So Zhuge Zhengyang didn't have many rockets on hand...if he started firing, they would be gone within an hour. If he still couldn't fire them down, he would be in big trouble.

Because the current Ming army relies heavily on rocket launchers to output firepower, in a town-affiliated artillery battalion, there is only one team of field cannons, and there are only six bronze cannons capable of firing five-pound bullets.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And they are not used very much, because everyone does not underestimate their power... But bronze cannons are cheaper to shoot, and they can not only shoot iron bullets, but also lead and tin bullets

, and can also shoot stone bullets, so as long as there is gunpowder, the bronze cannon can continue to fire.

Once the rocket launcher has no rocket shells, it is just a pile of scrap metal... Therefore, Zhuge Zhengyang must use full firepower at the most critical moment.

At this time, his attention was no longer on the "trenched defense line", but on the tomb of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Although by holding the "trench line" there is a high probability that Sun Sike can be defeated with a silver bullet after dark.

But he is a Zhuge who "uses soldiers like a god", and using one million taels of silver to bribe the enemy is too "un-Zhuge", so Zhuge Zhengyang arranged a surprise attack!

Zu Da, who was the leader in Jiangning Cheng Nei and coerced Zu Yonglie, led a group of Hakka soldiers from northern Guangdong who were good at mountain warfare to raid Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb!

According to the old man himself, he once took his sons and sons out from the west of the inner city of Nanjing and climbed Zijin Mountain several times - this was so that after Wu Sangui's people entered Jiangning City, the ancestral family could secretly communicate with Zijin Mountain.

Keep in touch with the Qing army's Jiangnan camp on the mountain.

So this old man volunteered two days ago and proposed such a plan to "rescue Zhu Yuanzhang" in a surprise attack!

As long as the sun and moon flags flutter over the tomb, the battle for the Purple Mountain Jiangnan Camp will be won...Zhu Heji's money will also be saved! Because the money is actually used to redeem Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for the "dead hostage", if Zhu Yuanzhang's grave is snatched away, then the "dead hostage" will be saved. Why should the "kidnapper" collect money? Giving him ten taels of silver for travel expenses and sending him home is already a great sign of imperial favor!

But can Mr. Zuda’s raid succeed?

Zhuge Zhengyang couldn't take his eyes away, just staring at the mountains in the distance.

Suddenly, a dazzling green flame suddenly flew into the air, and then exploded into a large ball of green flame - this was caused by gunpowder mixed with copper rust!

This is a sign of a successful raid!
