Chapter 106 Capture
It is indeed not difficult to break open the city.
On the fourth day, the sky was still alive, and three cannons were fired in the south of Baigucheng. Twelve small flag arrows rose and exploded into the sky on both sides of the east and west, launching a signal of siege.
The Burmese army, caught off guard, was suddenly awakened at the top of the city. Then, the artillery that had adjusted its angles in the early days fired together and blasted the Baigunan city gate that had been resting for a while. Chen Mujun vanguard Lou Qimai took the lead in taking the artillery team into the urn.
In just one stick of incense, all three gates were broken.
It was not easy to block Lou Qimai's urn gate. The flag army carried a large shield to carry arrows and stones to push the two-jin cannon to the city gate to release it, breaking the thick door bolt. The hastily defended the defender lowered the thousand-jin gate at the last moment. He had no time to prepare for the rolling soup and hot oil. He could only use sheep stones, marble and other cities to defend the enemy, but this could not cause any harm to the Lou Qimai army who had entered the city gate.
With a few more cannons, Qianjin Gate did not move except for a few large holes. Lou Qimai had no choice but to withdraw and command the soldiers to set up a ladder near the walled city to climb on all sides while using gunpowder cartridges to blast the Qianjin Gate. This was just a solution that there was no way. Everyone knew that this would not work.
But when Lou Qi moves forward, this is an attitude.
Chen Mu did not attack the city himself, but commanded various departments outside the city to use cloud ladders to attack the city gate tower. Compared to the urn city gates that cannot be damaged by artillery, it is easier to set up cloud ladders outside the city.
The bombardment over the past few days has made the city's female walls less, especially the city gate tower is even flat. The gunners under the city can directly shoot the city's defenders, reducing the burden on the siege troops. When the Ming army climbed the city, the flag army with short swords and axes quickly broke through the path, and when the bird gunners climbed the heroic city of Myanmar, they could officially announce that the city gate had changed hands.
On the city wall that lacks barriers, the Myanmar army cannot stop the pace of the flag army's gun team.
"Report! General Deng from Dongcheng has taken the head of the city and is attacking Wengcheng!"
Deng Zilong is still Deng Zilong. He is not as cowardly as Chen Mu. Seeing that the first round of siege troops were defeated, he personally pulled out his sword to lead his servants to climb up the city. With a heavy armored long soldiers, he led his servants to rush left and right at the city, killing the enemy invincible. He took down the city gate before Lou Qimai let go of the Qianjin Gate of the Wencheng, and captured the Wencheng in an instant.
Chen Mu asked the flag army with joy, "Did you follow General Deng to attack the city?"
If this messenger was a flag army that attacked the city with Deng Zilong, he took down the city gate tower and sent the order, I am afraid that Deng Zilong had already taken it down with the urn city at this time.
"Return to the Grand General, no, General Deng had ordered us before the war. Watching outside the city, the general seized the city tower, captured the urn city, and rushed into the city and reported to the general!"
"I understand, go down. General Deng is brave and the flag army that took down the city is on the way!"
Informing the offensive progress of the Lou Qimai army and asking the flag army to go back and wait for news, Chen Mu looked back and looked at the city head south. The yellow flag had already been pierced on the city gate tower on the south side. The flag army was rushing upwards and launched an attack from the city gate tower to the east and west sides.
The sky was a little brighter, and the sun was thrust out in the east, and there was no trace of the sun. The fires and thunder explosions in the city were still particularly conspicuous. It was easy to see that the general trend was on the side of the Ming army, and his army was invincible.
The defenders on the city were fighting and retreating to the southeast and southwest corners.
On the city was the commander Huang Dexiang, who was ordered to attack the city of Lou Qimai, who was ordered to attack the city of Wengcheng, and Chen Mu could only listen to the commemorative soldiers coming and report the news, and could not see it intuitively.
Outside the moat, Shao Tingda, who was wrapped in his head, held up his iron bag, and the swollen bag on his forehead collided with his helmet, which still hurt him. He took the order to Chen Mu for the third time, saying, "Brother Mu, let me go, this city is almost broken!"
Ruan Chu was anxious and angry: I was the first to see this great city, and I was the first to hit it, but because of a big bag on my head, would I be the last one to enter the city with his cowardly brother?
He is not happy!
The other person's brother is the minister of the South China Sea who controls the current situation, so he cannot be hurt at all. How embarrassed he entered the city with Chen Mu?
Chen Mu did not deliberately prevent the reckless worm from attacking the city, nor was he afraid that reckless worms would have accidents in the city and fought honestly. According to their armor, arms, flag army's profits, and compared with the military equipment possessed by the Burmese army, it is difficult for commander-level generals to die on the battlefield.
He just didn't want the reckless man to steal the first prize again.
The prerequisite for commanders to not die is to fight honestly and not to take the lead.
After a battle outside the city, the Rangcang and the two minions had already made enough achievements. He smiled at Shao Tingda, pointed at the city gate corridor at the northwest corner and said, "Did you see that city gate tower?"
As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, Shao Tingda knew what it meant. He clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll go and tear it for you!"
The Minister of South China waved his hand and ordered that he had been ordered by a reckless worm to line up in front of the moat with bird guns on the city, immediately lined up, set up a ladder and rushed up the city.
Shao Tingda's troops raised their weapons and ran in a row. Before they could reach the city gate, Bai Yuanjie's troops and Deng Zilong's troops arrived one after another.
Chen Mu was not surprised that Deng Zilong took the urn city, but Bai Yuanjie's message was interesting.
Bai Yuanjie skipped directly over the attack on the city gate tower, guarding the Baigu River. The flag army blocked the river before, so she did not take the only suspension bridge outside the four city gates seriously. However, she did not expect that the enemy lay out gunpowder under the bridge and blew the suspension bridge off at the beginning of the war.
They took some effort to make a way out with the cloud ladder board, and the defenders of the West Gate had time to prepare to defend the city, causing his subordinates to suffer a lot of damage under the city, and they have not taken down the city gate until now.
However, Brother Jingchen was also a ruthless person. After opening the city gate, he directly carried the ladder to the urncheng. Hu Liangpeng was the first to climb the gate tower of the urncheng and snatch the thousand-pound gate. Seeing the enemy troops rushing out from the city, more than 200 people were released and then he hurriedly descended. He ordered his subordinates to climb the city steps in the city to fire guns to block the enemy, and personally led his army to fight bloody battles on the city wall.
Therefore, Bai Yuanjie sent the message that they grabbed the urn city and the west city gate could already directly enter the city.
Shao Tingda's troops climbed the city tower to supplement the deadlock of Huang Dexiang's troops. When the sun rose, Chen Mu saw that the Ming Dynasty dragon-inlaid flag had risen from the city tower in the southwest corner of the city.
The reckless man succeeded!
At this point in the war, Chen Mu stepped onto a tall horse, walked forward, raised his right palm and slowly pushed forward.
The boundless flag of the Celestial Dynasty was erected, with the left flag written by the Nanyang Military Palace and the right flag written by the left governor Chen. The military flag army, who had been waiting for a long time, marched in line with bird guns with good guns. The flag officers in the long formation either carried or held or held guns or raised various flags of the Ming Dynasty.
The artillery team directly under the Thirty-Three Gate General Chen Bu was on the side of the moat, and followed the cannons that had already adjusted the angle and blasted out toward the city at a high angle in turn.
With the help of Mang Yingli, the refugee rush that flew out a few days ago, there were no more people in the city.
He didn't know how much fighting will the warriors in Mangyingli could have, or that someone had already fled to the north of the city, or that it was not important to Chen Mu.
If the enemy cannot make the injury worse, the snow will be meaningless.
He added fire to the deserters in Mangyingli.
Before the military guards and flag troops following Chen Mu lined up to the south of the city, the baggage soldiers pushed up various frames, with eight remaining divine machine arrows, and the rest were filled with tiger squatting cannons and scattered tubes, gunpowder cartridges and thunder in the palm of the city, which had been captured by the Ming army.
