Chapter 371 Drink this cup together

Three hundred thousand Ming troops defended the city, and 120 thousand People's Army attacked the city. The gap between the two sides was so big, but the fewer troops attacked the city. It was really rare in the history of war before the Ming Dynasty, but with the rise of the People's Army, this situation became more and more common.

The People's Army was getting closer and closer to the city. Zhu Yijun wore golden armor and personally climbed the city wall, wanting to see what the People's Army, which was victorious in every battle, looked like. The officials tried their best to dissuade Zhu Yijun without success. However, as the emperor climbed the city wall and was known to the soldiers, morale had improved to a certain extent.

The People's Army is coming, with a storm of overwhelming momentum. Zhu Yijun looked from a distance and seemed to be shocked and could not say a word for a long time.

The scouts riding a horse in the front saw the situation on the city through a telescope and quickly returned to report to Wang Shengrong.

"Wearing golden armor, can't it be Zhu Yijun?"

Wang Shengrong was a little confused and was not sure. In Wang Shengrong's feeling, the emperor should be afraid of death. How could he climb the city wall and hide in the palace by himself?

No matter who the person wearing golden armor is, he should be a person with more important identity. Wang Shengrong ordered that after the artillery position was built, the first target was this person wearing golden armor.

A cannon position in the People's Army has been built and is about to fire. Zhu Yijun, who is wearing golden armor, is no longer on the city wall. He left the city wall after the persuasion of the generals and other ministers.

"fire!"

Hundreds of howitzers sprayed grenades into the tall city wall nearly a thousand meters away. This was the first time that the Ming army stationed on the city wall came into contact with such explosive shells.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid the explosions, hundreds of Ming soldiers fell into pools of blood.

The sudden explosion made Zhu Yijun, who had not yet walked away, scared him so much that he almost fell down.

"This...is the thief attacking? How could the thief throw the thunder into the city wall from such a distance?"

Zhu Yijun had seen various firearms and had also seen Ming soldiers demonstrating the thunder of the sky. Zhu Yijun did not see dozens or hundreds of thunders exploded together, but as long as he imagined, he could guess the power of the thunders exploded together. The People's Army was so far away that he threw the thunders on the city wall. This made Zhu Yijun unable to believe it.

A grenade accidentally flew over the city wall and fell into the city. The ministers were so scared that they immediately asked a guard to keep Zhu Yijun away from the city wall. Zhu Yijun was carried by the guards with blank eyes. He took a carriage and returned to the palace, drove everyone away, slumped on the dragon throne, and imagined the scene of hundreds of thunder dying thunder exploding on the city wall in his mind.

Zhu Yijun knew that the People's Army had several sharp firearms equipped. To a certain extent, the People's Army was able to win every battle because of these firearms. The Ming army was not as equipped with firearms as the People's Army and was defeated again and again.

Why did the People's Army first take out these sharp firearms? The Ming Dynasty imitated some thunderstorms and created a small number of new muskets. Now the People's Army can throw the thunderstorms over hundreds of feet away.

"God will destroy my Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yijun had only this idea. The Ming Dynasty, which had a territory of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of millions, would be destroyed by the People's Army in just seven or eight years. This is incredible. It must be that God will destroy the Ming Dynasty.

The People's Army's attack continued, with hundreds of artillery firing and thousands of artillery firing. Amid the fierce explosion, not many Ming soldiers dared to stay on the city wall.

Simple siege cars that were quickly assembled slowly advance towards the city. In order to attack the taller capital city, this group of siege cars made some changes and increased their heights. They could climb the city wall through siege cars, but it was difficult to attack the enemies on the city wall from the siege cars.

To advance, tens of thousands of People's Army soldiers followed the siege car and slowly advanced towards the city. The capital was ahead, and the base camp of the Ming court. As long as the capital was captured, the victory of this war belonged to the People's Army. Soon, there would be no war on the generals in China.

The siege cars were getting closer and closer to the city, and the bombardment had stopped. The Ming soldiers, who had no morale left, returned to the city wall to prepare for battle under the drive of the officers and commanders.

The People's Army artillery stopped, and the People's Army soldiers of the siege car took out rockets and fired them at the city walls at a distance of 100 meters.

Under the bombardment of rockets, the Ming army was bombed back again.

When the distance from the city wall was less than fifty meters away, the People's Army's grenades began to exert their power. The grenades tightened the ejection device and sent waves of grenades to the city wall. The explosions on the city wall almost stopped.

Amid the continuous explosions, even the officers who were loyal to the Ming court were disheartened at this moment. If they could not beat them, they could not beat them at all. The enemy's firearms were so fierce, how could they fight with the enemy? If they hit the city wall, they would almost die.

Finally, the siege car arrived on the city wall. The first-mounted soldiers stepped on the city wall first and rushed towards the Ming soldiers who rushed over. Following the first-mounted soldiers, the grenadiers also rushed on the city wall. The first-mounted soldiers and the grenadiers were the invincible combination of melee combat.

boom!

With a loud bang, the city gate was exploded by multiple explosive packs, revealing the scene inside the city. It turned out that the Ming army did not block the city gate. As one city gate after another was blown up, some of the People's Army soldiers rushed into the city directly from the opened city gate and fought with the Ming army.

During the attack, people's army soldiers kept shouting loudly to the Ming soldiers in front of them: "Put down your weapons and kneel down and surrender not to kill them!"

Amid the persuasion of surrender, many Ming soldiers chose to put down their weapons and surrender on their knees. During the bombing before the People's Army, their morale and courage to fight were blown up, and they no longer wanted to continue fighting.

The south wall of the capital city fell, and the People's Army was attacking the city walls and the east and west sides. With the fall of the south wall, it was only a matter of time before the capital city was captured by the People's Army.

"The emperor is leaving quickly, the thief is coming."

"Your Majesty, as long as we go to Liaodong, as long as the people are still there, sooner or later we will be able to defeat the thieves."

In the palace, the ministers loyal to the Ming Dynasty were making their final efforts, but their emperor had given up.

Zhu Yijun came out, followed by two eunuchs. The eunuch trembled with a tray with a pot of wine and several wine glasses on it.

Zhu Yijun took action, poured a glass of wine, raised the glass, Zhu Yijun smiled and said to the ministers: "The Ming Dynasty is about to perish. Who would like to drink this cup with me?"

Before the minister could come up to dissuade him, Zhu Yijun drank a glass of poisonous wine directly, knowing that it could not be changed, and several ministers also walked towards two eunuchs.

"I am willing to drink this cup together!"

"I am willing!"

The ministers and old ministers squeezed out smiles and drank a glass of poisonous wine with a smile.
