The battle to siege Nanning City began on July 5, 1784, and this battle was destined to be recorded in history.

"Time is up, now I order all the cannons to fire!" Li Quan looked at his pocket watch and issued an order.

It seems that the message of persuasion to surrender to the city will not be responded to, so the more than 100,000 Eight Banners soldiers in the city will be waiting to die.

With Li Quan's order, hundreds of 105mm heavy artillery and 75mm field artillery fired violently at the city walls of Nanning.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The blasting bomb hit the city wall and exploded immediately, blowing out huge gaps on the city wall.

The Qing soldiers hiding on the city wall were in trouble. They all took bird guns, raised guns, bows and arrows and other weapons to guard against the Ming army to climb the city, but the Ming army directly used heavy artillery to smash the city wall under their feet. Most of them were killed by the explosion shock wave at the first time, and a small number of them fell from the city wall and fell to the ground.

"Give me the maximum base ammunition and send it all over!" Li Quan ordered.

"yes!"

After the command of the troops went down, the artillery group increased their firepower and quickly fired the maximum dose of ammunition into the city wall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a violent bombardment, a gap of dozens of meters long appeared in the walls of Nanning City.

"Everyone rushed in! Kill all Jiannu!"

"Kill all the Qing dogs!"

"Destroy all these Jianlu for me!"

The squad leader of the infantry squad rushed forward with the soldiers in his hands. After long-term ideological education and many bloody battles with the Qing army, the Ming army's hatred for the Manchus had become deeply rooted. They wished they would turn into shells and destroy all these Qing dogs.

Agui set up barricades in the city, preparing to bring huge casualties to the Ming army during street fighting.

"Marson, the Ming army has attacked the city!"

In the Marshal's Mansion, the general beside Agui said to him.

"Take the person out, and then wait for the right opportunity to ignite the explosive we buried in advance!" Agui said, standing in front of the full map of Nanning drawn by the Qing Dynasty.

"yes!"

It turned out that Agui had been thinking about how to defend Nanning City during this period. After his consideration, the Ming army's artillery fire ascended the throne and it was impossible to completely defend them by relying on the city wall. After discussion with many generals, he decided to bury the gunpowder in the city not far from the city wall. Once the Ming army broke through the city wall here and gathered a certain amount, he would send them all to the west with gunpowder.

The Ming army quickly invaded inside, but the Qing army inside only made sporadic resistance and retreated into the city.

"General, our people have attacked. I believe that the entire Nanning City will be captured soon!" A soldier ran over to Li Quan and said to him in the Ming army command.

"Okay, I think we can take down Nanning City soon." Li Quan said to several other division commanders.

"Yes! This Agui still said that he had experienced a long battle formation. Do I think it's just like that!" said Duan Long, the commander of the Sixth Division.

"I think this Agui is so confused, he is simply vulnerable!" said Tsui Hark, the commander of the Fifth Division.

The commander of the 14th Division was Duan Honglong, who was also a graduate of the Royal Army Academy of the Ming Dynasty. He said, "We cannot take it lightly. This Agui is so relied upon by Qianlong's old son, so he must have outstanding advantages."

Just then, a roar of shocking sound suddenly came from outside.

"boom!"

The explosion shock wave made the command center far away from the city walls shock the shock wave.

"What's going on?" Li Quan shouted, quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the broken wall.

A black mushroom cloud several meters high gradually bloomed at the break at the city wall, and a huge hole was created at the break. The surrounding Ming army infantry were killed and injured, and they were in a mess.

"Cnm! We're trapped!" Li Quan cursed and then ordered: "Let all infantry retreat! Hurry!"

"yes!"

At the gap, at least one thousand people were killed or injured by the Ming army. After receiving the order to retreat, they immediately evacuated from the gap.

"Marson, the Ming army has withdrawn!" At this time, Agui also received news.

"Okay! Let our people rush out quickly!" Agui said quickly.

When the Qing army saw the Ming army retreating, they felt their morale beating up, so they rushed out of the house and behind the barricades according to the previous plan, preparing to fight the Ming army to the death.

But they forgot that the Ming army encountered far more bloody battles than these comfortable Qing troops, so they maintained formation when retreating and retreated in an organized manner. In addition, the gap in firearms made the Qing army unable to hurt the Ming army at all.

"Hurry! Mobilize the mortar team for me and bombard them with the Qing army!" Li Quan immediately ordered.

After receiving the order, the mortar team, which was prepared for a simple fire rate, immediately loaded and adjusted the angle, and then bombarded the Qing army.

"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh!"

The shooting angle of the mortar is above 60 degrees and can be shot at a very high elevation angle. After passing through parabolas, the mortar shells landed in the attacking Qing army. The air waves and fragments generated by the explosion quickly swept down the Qing army and disrupted their formation.

The Qing army infantry quickly retreated, but their retreat was very unorganized, and there were many people trampling on each other.

What should I do now has troubled Li Quan.

"Report, I discovered the Qing army's command!" At this time, a soldier ran in and said to Li Quan.

“Where?”

"It's right here!" The soldier pointed his hand at a place on the map.

"Okay! Hurry up and send an order, let the rocket launchers and artillery aim here, blow this Agui to death, and let him avenge our soldiers!" Li Quan immediately ordered.

At the same time, Agui was angry in his marshal's mansion.

"What are you doing for? Why did you return it?" A Gui said angrily.

"Marson, the Ming army has a kind of artillery that is really amazing. The shells they fire all fall from the sky, and it looks like it is raining. Moreover, their shells can explode. Many of our people died of death at once!" A Qing army general said on his knees on the ground.

"Yes, Marshal, the Ming army is so powerful! Otherwise, General Fukang'an and General Hailancha would not have died in battle!" Another general also said.

"Enough!" A Gui slapped the table and shouted: "Our task now is how to break through, are you..."

At this moment, a row of shells quickly passed through the air and quickly hit the Marshal's Mansion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After a violent explosion, the Marshal's Mansion where Agui is located was blown into ruins by shells.
