The roaring guns and cannons rang out on three battlefields almost at the same time.

However, the end time is very different.

The First Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which has the strongest combat power, is undoubtedly the first to end the battle...

As for the third division of the Tiger and Leopard Army that had just been formed, of course, it is the last one to end the battle.

However, no matter what, the Minister of War sent 15,000 new troops from Nanjing City, and was completely wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Army.

In this operation that concerns the life and death of 15,000 New Army soldiers, the Minister of War was also very nervous.

Shortly after 15,000 soldiers left the city, the Minister of War brought the remaining generals and all gathered on the south gate of Nanjing City, waiting for the news that was constantly coming back from outside the city.

Therefore, after the battle started, the violent explosion of flowering bombs immediately reached the eyes of the Minister of War and the generals.

Although they were at least fifteen miles away from the battlefield, they could still clearly distinguish the explosion of the flowering bullets and the explosion of the grenades...

Therefore, the sound of hundreds of flowering bullets exploded at the same time just reached the ears of the Minister of War, and the Minister of War's face turned pale. As for the generals around them, you could even see such a hint of panic expression on their faces.

Because none of them expected that the enemies outside the city who were despised by them were not only equipped with artillery, but also hundreds of them.

You should know that as the base of the Ming Dynasty, the importance of Nanjing City is self-evident.

However, even such a city has only stationed 50,000 defenders, less than 400 red-clothed cannons.

The explosions in front of everyone's ears kept coming, and at least four hundred flowering bullets would explode at the same time to produce them.

More importantly, this is just an explosion from a battlefield.

If the artillery fire strikes from the other two battlefields are added, the enemy hidden outside Nanjing City is not equipped with more than a thousand artillery pieces.

Of course, this is just the number of artillery enemies outside the city. What scares them the most is how many enemies there are behind so many artillery guns.

At this time, although everyone did not speak, the expressions on their faces continued to change. However, in everyone's heart, they had begun to observe silence for the 15,000 brothers who left the city.

Because, if you get more than 10,000 new troops out of the city, you can only passively get beaten when you face more than 1,000 artillery attacks without carrying any artillery. You don’t even have the chance or strength to fight back.

In this case, all they can do is to observe silence, hoping that more people can escape such a fierce artillery fire and return to Nanjing City.

Of course, some people may also think whether it is recommended that the Minister of War in front of them immediately send people out of the city and bring red cannons to reinforce more than 10,000 soldiers who are attacked.

However, as soon as this idea came to my mind, it was shattered by the constant explosions on the battlefield.

In the face of such a huge number of artillery, let’s not talk about whether your reinforcements are useful.

Not only can we not save more than 10,000 soldiers under attack back to Nanjing City, but we will also trap reinforcements.

So, listening to the constant sound of flower bomb explosions outside the city, the generals around the Minister of War were all silent after just a brief shock.

Several generals could ignore more than 10,000 new army soldiers outside the city. However, as the commander of all the defending troops in Nanjing, the Minister of War could not watch the more than 10,000 elite new army soldiers being destroyed.

Because once these troops are eliminated, the strength of the Nanjing city guards will be greatly damaged. It will even affect the defense of Nanjing city and the security of Nanjing city.

So, just as the subordinates were silent, the Minister of War had to speak, "Everyone is deaf and mute... Who can say that outside the city is a group of Tiger and Leopard Army guerrillas with no combat power? Then what's going on with the sound of cannons now? Who can tell me..."

Faced with the questioning of the Minister of War, as a general in charge of the Minister of War, he had to speak: "Sir... Now it's certain. The enemy hidden outside the city is not a guerrilla, but an elite Tiger and Leopard Army. Only the elite Tiger and Leopard Army can be equipped with such a large number of artillery... In addition, the total strength of this elite Tiger and Leopard Army should exceed 30,000 people..."

As a veteran of the battle, the other generals had already made a judgment in their minds.

As soon as this sentence was said, several other generals agreed very much and nodded in agreement.

Faced with this situation, although the fearful expression on the face of the Minister of War did not change much, his nervous heart calmed down a lot.

After all, I now know the opponent's true identity and approximate strength.

After some thought, he said decisively..." No matter how many tiger and leopard troops there are outside the city, how did they touch our rear. Now I only have one request and immediately find a way to rescue more than 10,000 elite troops who were attacked by the tiger and leopard troops. I can rescue as much as I can..."

Even though I knew that it was likely to die when I left the city now, since the Minister of War had issued an order, the subordinates could only rack their brains to think about ways to break the enemy...

Faced with the continuous urging of the Minister of War, everyone thought of it directly.

Compared with the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city, a very important advantage of the Nanjing defenders is their strength advantage... Of course, this so-called strength advantage is calculated by adding more than 10,000 soldiers who are being attacked outside the city.

Since the Tiger and Leopard Army is not as strong as its own, then it will dispatch reinforcements with more forces than the Tiger and Leopard Army, forcing the Tiger and Leopard Army to withdraw from the battlefield... Otherwise, if the Tiger and Leopard Army is in battle, it will have to be surrounded by the reinforcements of the court after the new imperial army.

However, in this way, the Minister of War had to give up the attacking forces of the three routes outside the city.

Because, for the remaining 30,000 defenders in Nanjing City, the Minister of War could only send up 20,000 people.

These generals had no mistake at all. If there were no cavalry divisions, facing the 20,000 new imperial army who suddenly joined the battlefield, Wang Feng would have no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield.

After all, I only have seven thousand soldiers on each battlefield...

In addition to the advantage of artillery fire and the advantage of musket range, it is not as good as the new army of the court in other aspects...

If you really fight the decisive battle with the new imperial army here, even if you win, you will pay a very heavy price.

However, in addition to three musket divisions, Wang Feng also has a strong cavalry division...

Even if a cavalry division cannot stop the 20,000 new imperial army, there is no problem to hold them back.
