Following the transmission of the order, the situation on the battlefield changed.
The sound of the war drums suddenly became rapid, and the horn was blown. With a great reward, there would always be brave men. The black mass of elite soldiers had long been unable to hold back their desire to climb up the city wall, seize the flag, kill their way into the city, and capture Shen Yi to reach the pinnacle of life.
They charged towards the ancient and majestic city wall, letting out a deafening roar.
They did not seem to see the ravine and dangerous situation in front of them. There was no fear of death in their eyes. Their bloodshot eyes stared at the screaming soldiers on the city wall, as if they wanted to fly up and tear them into pieces.
A group of enraged war beasts swarmed towards the city wall with an unstoppable force.
They carried wooden boats and built pontoon bridges. They rushed across the moat. Some soldiers who were good at swimming even jumped into the moat to help build the pontoon bridges. The first batch of soldiers that crossed the pontoon bridges immediately set up a large shield formation and advanced step by step.
The Ming Army soldiers on the city wall tried to defend the city with bows and crossbows. At the same time, they also used ballistae, machine guns and other defensive weapons to attack the soldiers and pontoon bridges. However, they were ravaged by the Hongyi Cannons and their morale was not high. After some of the defensive weapons were destroyed, the efficiency of defending the city was greatly reduced.
The Hongyi Cannons continued to fire. The city wall of the capital had suffered a serious blow and was undergoing a severe test.
More and more soldiers arrived at the foot of the city wall ready to attack. They pushed ladders on top of the city wall and prepared to break into the city first. At the city gate, a large number of soldiers pushed battering rams towards the city gate, trying to use the battering rams to break open the city gate.
Although the soldiers on top of the city wall fought back with all their might, using bows and muskets to block the soldiers attacking the city, the effect was minimal.
They did not form an organization and their attacks were scattered. Instead, they were easily hit by the counterattack of the Zhennan Army who were covering the assault from below the city wall. They fell miserably from the city wall.
On the other hand, the number of Zhennan Army soldiers who started to climb up the gate tower in an attempt to attack the city increased. They used their mouths to hold their weapons and climbed up with all their might. The Ming Army on the gate tower tried their best to stop them. They used muskets, crossbows, and stones to stop the Zhennan Army soldiers. They did cause some casualties, but this was far from enough to stop the attack of the Zhennan Army.
The simultaneous attack from all four sides of the city walls was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. With such a fanatical and desperate attack, it was not something that the capital soldiers and a few elites who lacked fighting spirit could stop.
There was no doubt about it.
Fang Shoushi also felt it.
He felt the surging attack of the Zhennan Army. He felt the strong fighting spirit and strong desire to win. The soldiers of the Zhennan Army all rushed down the city wall with red eyes and climbed up the ladder. Although he did not have any fighting spirit, he did not think that he would be so powerless to fight back.
He had originally thought that he could defend this side of the city wall and wait for the other walls to be breached. Then, he would leave this place and find a chance to enter the Royal City to protect Zhu Yijun. However, he now found that he did not have the confidence to defend this wall before the other walls were breached.
Was this the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the strongest army in the Daming City?
Only the heavens knew how they maintained such a strong fighting spirit and fighting spirit!
The first round of artillery bombardment was enough to shock people's hearts. The following tens of thousands of people shouted in unison and the rumbling footsteps made the people on the city walls feel the shock. When he tried to command his subordinates to defend the city and counterattack, the order was not transmitted smoothly.
Because there was no effective counterattack, the Zhennan Army successfully built pontoon bridges and rushed across the moat. Then, they built a shield formation to protect the soldiers behind them. The soldiers who came later were protected and gradually gained a foothold. The soldiers in the city did not dare to go out and fight with the Zhennan Army, so they could only passively defend the city.
Perhaps they believed that they could defend the city. After all, it was the capital with several layers of city walls. After all, there was the Royal City and the Forbidden City. After all, it was the city where the Emperor lived.
If it was directly breached, wouldn't it be the same as the destruction of the country?
However, they did not know that outside the city, there was also an Emperor waiting to ascend the throne and a group of civil and military officials waiting to be the founding ministers of the country. There were also two hundred thousand strong soldiers waiting to enjoy the glory of the founding of the country.
Sometimes, willpower could really change some things. Facing the almost suicidal attack of the Zhennan Army, the Ming Army defending the city was almost completely suppressed. They suffered great losses. They were constantly wounded and killed by the muskets and crossbows of the Zhennan Army. They were not equipped with enough defensive shields, so they could not stop the damage.
Seeing the soldiers of the Zhennan Army climbing up with all their might, they also tried to use stones to smash, boiling oil and hot water to pour, and shooting with crossbows. A few people worked together to try to push the scaling ladders away. However, there was little effect. There was really little effect. The city wall guarded by less than ten thousand people faced the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. The fierce tug of war that should have been evenly matched did not appear.
From the moment the first soldier of the Zhennan Army rushed up the walls of Anding Gate and started killing, the defeat of the Ming Army on the city wall was determined. Although they also swarmed up and tried to kill the soldiers of the Zhennan Army who climbed up the city wall, they quickly found that the fighting power of the Zhennan Army soldiers was beyond their imagination.
When one or two soldiers came up, they could still work together to stab the soldier with their spears. However, as more and more soldiers of the Zhennan Army climbed up the city wall, when they gathered together to fight against the Ming Army on the city wall, it became somewhat unstoppable.
The more they couldn't kill them, the more soldiers of the Zhennan Army climbed up the city wall. The more soldiers of the Zhennan Army climbed up the city wall, the more they couldn't kill the soldiers of the Zhennan Army who climbed up the city wall. Each of them had red eyes and roared as they fought. They didn't care if they were stabbed in one or two places. They didn't even treat the bleeding wounds and continued to kill. They were like killing gods.
The Zhennan Army at the foot of the city wall also stood firm. They shouted battle slogans and launched attacks at the city gate again and again. They hit the city gate again and again, and launched a charge against the rain of bullets and arrows. Seeing that the city gate was about to collapse, they gritted their teeth and continued to bleed and sacrifice themselves.
The defending general in the city shouted at his subordinates to fight hard and not give up. However, it was useless and futile. Once the casualties were too heavy, the fear of the soldiers on the city wall towards the roaring and bloody Zhennan Army soldiers reached a certain level. Then it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
On the spacious city tower, the soldiers of the Zhennan Army and the Ming Army were tangled together. The battle was extremely fierce. The Ming Army was killed and retreated step by step. The position of the Zhennan Army was stabilized. A general of the Ming Army realized that the situation was not good and prepared to lead a team to make a last effort. However, he was killed by the swords of the soldiers of the Zhennan Army. Once the general died, the soldiers on the city wall began to collapse.
The speed of the collapse was shocking. Xiao Ruxun used the telescope to observe the situation on the city wall. He found that the soldiers of the Zhennan Army had formed a strong battle formation and launched an attack on the Ming Army. Their resistance was futile and they were quickly crushed by the battle formation of the Zhennan Army.
After several years of expeditions and meticulous training, it was definitely a nightmare to fight with the most elite troops of the Zhennan Army on land. Xiao Ruxun could guarantee that the most elite troops of a hundred thousand would be equipped with the best equipment and the most rigorous training in this era. They would be able to fight with any army of the same era on land and defeat them!
This was confidence. The confidence that came from fighting all over the world!
The confidence that came from the world's strongest army!
In the face of such confidence, no matter how high the city wall was, it would not be a reason to stop them from moving forward!
Fight for me! My soldiers!
I will bring you with me and change this world!
