The next morning, the Ming army officially began to attack the city!

The main attack directions are mainly Nancheng and Dongcheng.

The Nancheng side was led by Li Dingguo, while the Dongcheng side was led by the Emperor himself to supervise the battle.

In terms of the ratio of force, the Nancheng army had more troops, so Li Ding's Congress attacked the three gates of Wangze, Zhonghe and Baohe at the same time. Zhu Youlang led his troops to climb Shuangfeng Mountain, set up Prussian light cannons on it, and aimed at the head of Zhongxiaomen city more than a hundred meters away.

In fact, Shuangfeng Mountain is not so much a mountain as a mound.

The highest point is only a few dozen meters, but it is this height that gives the Ming army the choice of cannons.

The cannon bombardment of the city is of great deterrence, but the angle must be found.

Just like that, the bombardment on the ground would not hurt the city tower at all.

But if it is flat ejaculation, even if it is a slight upward ejaculation, the effect will be very good.

However, it is difficult to transport guns of the order of magnitude like the Red Barbarian cannon to Shuangfeng Mountain, but the Prussian light cannon is relatively better.

Even so, the Ming soldiers also spent a lot of effort to transport this thing.

Zhu Youlang's intention was to work a two-pronged approach, leaving the Qing army in Wuchang exhausted and did not know which side to focus on defense.

Then he ordered Liu Xingming to take advantage of the chaos to take a hot air balloon and throw a small number of Ming soldiers into the city, creating chaos and even cooperating with the Ming army to seize the city gate.

The key to this strategy is that it must cooperate and not fight alone.

In war, people will definitely die, but Zhu Youlang hopes to minimize the casualties of the Ming army.

"Try it!"

Zhu Youlang is still very confident about this batch of artillery, and he really wants to see how powerful it is!

With the emperor's order, the artillery soldiers of the Hu Ben Army began to operate in an orderly manner.

They have mastered the use process of this kind of light gun and will basically not make any mistakes.

But with a bombing sound, a shell flew out and headed towards the head of Dongcheng City.

The huge recoil shocked the gun barrel moved back a bit.

The Qing army at the top of the city obviously did not realize the danger, and did not wake up as if they were dreaming until the shells hit the city tower.

Stones and wood flew, and many Qing soldiers were directly bombed to death.

Some Qing soldiers were injured by the blown stones and wood, and made painful wails.

"The Ming thief must have fired cold cannons on Shuangfeng Mountain!"

The distance of more than 100 meters is not far, so Zhou Peigong immediately ordered someone to verify it.

After the sharp-eyed sentry confirmed that the Ming army had climbed Shuangfeng Mountain, Zhou Pei was so angry that he jumped straight.

One hundred secrets, one hundred secrets. Why didn’t he expect the Ming army might use the terrain to exert force?

"Go and tell the Governor quickly and ask him to transfer two more cannons to the East City."

As the thoroughfare of nine provinces, Wuchang is naturally very large in number.

There are several red cannons alone, and countless other small cannons.

However, when Hu Quancai saw that the main force of the Ming army was concentrated in Nancheng, he piled up all the cannons at the top of Nancheng, preparing to fight the Ming army to the death.

It will naturally not take too long to temporarily adjust it, but during this period of time, the Qing army had only the power to resist and had no way to fight back.

While speaking, another shell hit him and exploded not far from Zhou Peigong.

The huge explosion force lifted Zhou Peigong up and threw it far away.

"ah!"

Zhou Peigong was just a weak scholar, and he was extremely weak all day long.

This fall made him snot and tears flow, and his stomach was rumbling and he was about to vomit.

"I will definitely kill the Ming thief who kills Qiandao, I will be unable to wait and die!"

He was helped up by the Qing soldiers, Zhou Peigong wiped his face with his sleeves and cursed loudly.

It's really strange. Why did the Ming Thief's cannon fire so fast, and the interval is very short, one shot after another.

Could it be that Ming Thief really can use magic?

Just as he had this idea, Zhou Peigong suddenly shook his head.

How could there be magic in this world? It's just a trick.

Just like the tunnel that excavates, its real purpose is to blow up the city wall.

It just seemed that the city wall collapsed suddenly, which was unacceptable for a moment.

But if you think about it carefully, it must be related to the authentic tunnels excavated by Mingzhe.

Humph, if you have cannons, we don’t have one?

Come on, hurt each other, whoever cowards will be the grandson!

...

...

At this moment, Hu Quancai, who was supervising the battle at the top of Nancheng, was also anxious.

The Ming thief seemed to be ready, and removed the door panels of the shops on the dock outside the south city and ordered the soldiers to build a floating bridge outside the moat.

It won't take long to build the pontoon bridge, and the Ming thieves can quickly cross the moat.

This first line of defense was cracked so easily.

Hu Quancai was really regretful. He just ordered the army to move the merchants on the dock and the goods to the city, but did not remove the door panels.

Now these things have become tools for Ming thieves to build bridges.

Hu Quancai had no choice but to order the soldiers to shoot arrows, but the arrows shot at this distance were insufficient and were already crooked when they shot to the moat.

The Ming army can offset this wave of damage by just using a shield to block it.

Hu Quancai was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was no good way.

This distance is very awkward, the angle of using a cannon is not enough, and the force of using an arrow is not enough.

It's really awesome.

On the other side, Li Dingguo watched the Ming army crossing the river calmly.

He is a general who is very good at discovering details.

When he arrived at the dock, he felt that the door panels of these shops could be used, so he suggested that the emperor remove these door panels for backup.

After hearing his advice, the emperor happily agreed.

Now it seems that the method of removing the door panels and making a floating bridge is very effective, but Donglu saw it but had no choice.

Of course, Li Dingguo was not arrogant at all.

After all, building a bridge and crossing the river is just the first step to siege the city and the easiest step.

There are more challenges waiting for him next.

But it has reached this point and there is no reason to retreat.

Even if you fill in more lives, you will have to conquer Wuchang, otherwise all your previous efforts will be in vain.

...

...

"Governor General, the head of Dongcheng was bombarded by Ming thieves' artillery. They moved the artillery to Shuangfeng Mountain, which made us breathless. Mr. Zhou asked you to quickly transfer a batch of artillery to Dongcheng so that we can fight back."

Hu Quancai was so anxious that he was so anxious that he vomited blood when he heard the news.

The Ming thief is really cunning and can even attack the world.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Hu Quancai couldn't tell which side the Ming army's main attack direction was, so he could only defend himself at every point.

"Transfer ten cannons to Dongcheng and fight me hard!"

Hu Quancai was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Ming Thief is really good at taking advantage of his current advantages.

However, Hu Quancai couldn't consider such a thing. Even if he thought about it, what would happen? Did he order the Shuangfeng Mountain to the ground? It can only be said that this was a loophole in the construction of Wuchang City.

"Get orders!"
