The leading soldier was wearing heavy armor, holding a shield and a sword in his hand, and had several grenades on his waist.
Some even held blunderbuss!
It can be said that he is fully armed!
Just as our own soldiers were preparing to board the city, the Ming army's shelling suddenly stopped!
One is that they are afraid that the shelling at this time may accidentally damage our own troops ascending the city!
The second is that after a long period of firing, the artillery needs to stop cooling to cool down the barrel.
Otherwise, it may explode at any time!
The Ming army's offensive troops boarded the city, and what greeted them was a Qing army green battalion soldier wearing a thin uniform.
These green soldiers shouted to kill, and they came up to kill them with swords and spears.
In an instant, the two sides met at hand-to-hand combat and began a bloody fight.
As more and more people boarded the city, the Ming army gradually opened up the situation.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of grenades exploding could be heard from time to time.
The grenadiers used all their strength to throw grenades into the crowd of Qing soldiers.
Hand grenades exploded in the crowd, causing a bloody storm.
After the Ming army's artillery cooled down for a moment, it began to fire again.
Each field artillery aimed at the city head, counting from the position where the Ming army entered the city, the firing range extended to both sides.
Provide fire cover for the Ming army's troops ascending the city!
If it were a smoothbore cannon, it would be very difficult to achieve such accurate shooting.
But for rifled guns, it is not impossible!
Cannonballs flew horizontally one after another, and the solid cannonballs vented their kinetic energy in the crowd, plowing bloody roads.
Under the Ming army's artillery blockade, the Qing army's follow-up reinforcements gradually became powerless.
The Qing army, which was unfavorable for reinforcements, faced successive attacks by the Ming army, and it became even more difficult to support them.
Jia Qijin was covered in heavy armor and charged forward.
"kill!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Kill the captives! Kill the captives! Kill the captives!"
"..."
He was born in the Jiangnan Green Camp, and now he showed no signs of timidity when facing the Guangxi Green Camp, which was always famous for being elite and daring to fight.
In addition to the fact that Ming Dynasty has sufficient food and salary and strict military discipline!
The main reason is actually armament!
Looking at the heavy armor on his body and the uniforms on the opposite side of the Qing army, even the most timid soldier can stand upright.
During this period of time, Jia Qijin was deeply impressed by the wealth and wealth of the Ming Dynasty!
The armor rate of the Liberation Army is 100%!
Even the armor rate of them returning to the rebel army was nearly half.
It is certainly not appropriate to say that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army today is all piled up with equipment.
But half of the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty comes from their luxurious equipment, so there is definitely no problem.
Swinging the steel knife in his hand, he drank blood.
Blood sprayed out, and broken limbs were everywhere!
"attack!"
"attack!"
"..."
The shouts of harmony echoed across the battlefield.
"withstand!"
"Hold it! Kill the thief!"
"..."
The Qing army also fought back.
Collapse! Collapse!
The sound of trembling bowstrings sounded one after another, and the arrows were like locusts.
The arrow hit the armor, making a clanging sound of metal.
But there were also Ming soldiers who were hit by arrows and screamed in agony.
While the Ming army threw out grenades, the Qing army also made the same move.
Amidst the rumbling explosions, the city almost turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
But the Ming army's offensive continued, and the overwhelming artillery fire almost never stopped.
Amidst the rumbling shelling, a section of the city wall was even damaged by the shelling and collapsed.
More Ming troops ascended the city and attacked the gap in the collapsed city wall!
Under the cover of the shelling, the Ming army rushed into Wuzhou City. A large number of Qing army green soldiers collapsed and turned around to escape.
Guangxi soldiers are tough and good at fighting, and their fighting will is relatively tenacious.
But in the face of the overwhelming bombardment of the Ming army, no matter how tough the flesh and blood body is, it cannot withstand it.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air sounded one after another.
Rockets rose into the air one after another, and then fell behind the mound formed by the collapse of the city wall, and explosions sounded one after another.
An attack channel was opened for the Ming army's offensive troops!
…
Billowing black smoke floated in the sky, and shouts of death resounded throughout Wuzhou City.
From the time the Ming army arrived at Wuzhou City, they could only hold out for less than two days, even if the city was full.
From the time the Ming army launched its attack, Wuzhou City only lasted less than a day before it changed hands under the overwhelming Ming army's offensive.
Fan Zhian, the prefect of Wuzhou, committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. Qi Yuanqiang, the commander-in-chief of Wuzhou Town, surrendered with his own soldiers and raised the flag, and was then taken into custody.
Liu Shantai took his personal guards and rode into Wuzhou City.
Looking at the Wu City Wall not far away, which had been bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Ming Army, his eyes remained calm.
Not long after, Qi Yuanqiang was removed from his armor and brought to Liushan Taima.
Qi Yuanqiang was decisive and knelt down in front of Liushan Taima with a bang, kowtowed hard and begged for mercy.
"The final general is blind and daring, and resists the king's heavenly soldiers. His crime deserves death!"
"Now that I have repented, I ask the general to take pity on me and spare my life. I am willing to go through fire and water for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what!"
"..."
Originally, Qi Yuanqiang had great confidence in the Qing Dynasty, but when he saw how sharp the Ming Dynasty's artillery was on Wuzhou City,
His confidence was shaken!
It is said that this is not the main artillery group of the Ming army, which is so terrifying!
How powerful should the Ming army's main artillery group be?
Maybe, the Ming Dynasty can really succeed in restoring its country.
No matter how bad it is, the Ming army can rely on such powerful artillery power to separate one side and continue the country.
Under such circumstances, Qi Yuanqiang naturally chose to surrender to Ming Dynasty very wisely.
It is impossible to hang yourself on this tree in Manchuria!
After all, Daming's knife is now at his neck.
Failure to surrender is death!
You can still survive by surrendering, so why should you hesitate?
Liu Shantai narrowed his eyes, turned over and dismounted and said.
"It is indeed a great achievement for the general to wake up and join the Ming Dynasty!"
"But after all, the general is resisting our soldiers. Whether he can survive or not is not up to me. The Royal Highness will have to make the decision."
Liu Shantai didn't make his words too clear, but his meaning was pretty much revealed.
You can survive if you want, but the meager merit of surrendering is not enough to atone for your sins. You have to do something else!
Qi Yuanqiang understood Liu Shantai's hint and spoke hurriedly.
"You will eventually understand!"
"You will eventually understand!"
"The guards of Xunzhou Prefecture and Liuzhou Prefecture all have some friendship with the general, and the general is willing to write a handwritten letter to persuade them to wake up."
Liu Shantai nodded with satisfaction.
After the war in Wuzhou ended, officials promoted from Guangdong followed up and took over local government affairs.
The main force of the Ming army just continues to advance!
The landlords and gentry in Guangxi also showed great enthusiasm when facing the Ming army.
Organize a large amount of manpower and material resources, contribute money and efforts, and prepare a pot of food to welcome the king!
The Ming army's advance in Guangxi can only be said to be a replica of the Battle of Guangdong!
There was no resistance at all. Apart from receiving military rewards from time to time, or receiving a group of surrendered Qing army green battalions, they encountered very little resistance.
There are even many state capitals, which are almost determined by propaganda!
As soon as the Ming army appeared outside the city, the local officials, landlords and gentry left the city together and surrendered to the Ming army.
Qi Yuanqiang's persuasion to surrender worked. After receiving Qi Yuanqiang's letter and learning that Wuzhou City had been lost in two days, General Xunzhou decisively gave up the idea of resisting to the end.
He took the soldiers and horses under his command, cut their braid and changed their flag, and returned to the Ming Dynasty!
After the battle of Wuzhou, the Ming army quickly occupied most of Guangxi at an almost marching speed.
