Chapter three hundred and eighty third Ganjiang battle for the moon
Outside Ganjiang City, the Ming army had already set up a formation to surround the city.
As the last stronghold of the Qing army in Jiangxi, the Qing soldiers gathered here were basically stubborn.
It is impossible to persuade surrender, so you can only choose to attack.
Now there are only 50,000 Qing troops retreating to Ganjiang River, while there are more than 100,000 Ming troops besieging Ganjiang River, which can be said to be besieged.
Zhu Youlang wanted to fight quickly, so he ordered his soldiers to use artillery shells to suppress the Qing army on the city wall.
At the same time, dig out the tunnel to prepare for the coffin to explode the city.
The weather has been very good these days, so it is unlikely that there will be heavy rains.
If the gunpowder does not rain, it will not get damp and there will be no emergencies.
Zhu Youlang is very skilled in this move. As long as the city wall is blown open, he will basically take down Ganjiang.
Li Dingguo and Zhao Xu were responsible for two tasks respectively.
Kuidong Zhuxun and Zheng Chenggong were responsible for the feint attack.
Although it was a feint to attack the Qing army, it still did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, Kuidong Zhuxun and Zheng Chenggong are also very powerful. If you don’t defend them, they will become real attacks.
"Your Majesty, after taking Ganjiang, I want to rush back to Nanjing first. After all, this thief Shi Lang has been eyeing Nanjing."
After finally having the opportunity to communicate with the emperor, Zheng Chenggong naturally had to seize it and perform well.
Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "What King Zhong said is reasonable. Nanjing is very important and must not be misleading. When Ganjiang City is broken, you will lead your troops to set off immediately."
Zhu Youlang paused and said, "As for me, I will go to Nanjing to pay homage to Xiaoling, but it will be later."
Zheng Chenggong thought to himself that the emperor had something to say.
On the contrary, the emperor explained his itinerary, but in fact he expressed his opinion to Zheng Chenggong that he might move the capital.
After all, the behavior of visiting Xiaoling is too special.
The emperor's visit to the tomb of Emperor Taizu has a strong symbolic significance.
In addition, Nanjing was originally the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and moving back to Nanjing was something that everyone expected.
But in this way, Zheng Chenggong's position had to be moved.
Originally, Zheng Chenggong lived in the garrison palace, and now he must move out.
But this is a matter of time sooner or later.
In the future, the emperor will definitely have other arrangements for Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong can do his best to act according to the order.
"I will definitely arrange all matters to welcome Your Majesty."
Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction.
At least so far, Zhu Youlang admires Zheng Chenggong very much, and Zheng Chenggong has also shown a very reasonable attitude and fulfilled his duties as a minister.
As for the past when the Zheng family was loyal to Emperor Longwu, Zhu Youlang did not think there was anything wrong with it.
The situation was different at that time, and they were all the masters.
If we really pursue this, not only Zheng Chenggong, but also Zhang Huangyan, Li Dingguo, will have problems. Wouldn't Zhu Youlang be useless?
"Why don't your majesty use hot air balloons this time?"
Liu Xingming, who was idle and panicked, was helpless and begged Zhu Youlang: "Please give me a chance."
Zhu Youlang only found it funny. Liu Xingming was addicted to it.
In fact, Zhu Youlang also likes to use hot air balloons, but he doesn't think it's necessary.
A mere Ganjiang City cannot be bombarded with hot air balloons.
After all, there are still certain risks in hot air balloons. If they are shot down by the Tartars with guns, Zhu Youlang will not be able to explain to Liu Tichun.
The reason I chose hot air balloons before was because I had no confidence in winning, so I could only use hot air balloons to gamble with small profits.
But what are you betting on a sure win game? Isn’t it nice to eat your opponent safely?
"I have decided, so don't ask for battle again."
Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "This time you will be a spectator and see how I will capture this Ganjiang City."
Liu Xingming had to fight again, but Liu Tichun pulled his clothes before giving up.
"Stupid brat, don't cause trouble for me!"
Although Liu Tichun really hopes to see Liu Xingming have a future, everything is worse than it is.
The emperor has already said this, and it doesn't make any sense for Liu Xingming to persevere.
Repeated stubbornness will only make the emperor disgusted and affect its status in the emperor's heart.
As for Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng and others basically agreed with Liu Tichun's approach.
People who are old campers should be more cautious in doing things and should not take any wrong steps.
"Your Highness, the tunnel has been dug!"
In less than a day, Li Dingguo's men dug up a small tunnel.
Since the Hu Ben Army has been carrying out fire cover, Li Dingguo's subordinates have no risks and are very happy to dig.
"Okay, put the coffin."
Li Dingguo was already very familiar with this process. Now the Ming army only needs to walk in a stylized manner before it can explode the city wall.
The soldiers carefully carried the coffin down into the tunnel.
The tunnel was dug very narrowly, so it could only be passed by one person.
The two of them carried the coffin and moved slowly one after another.
When encountering uneven potholes, they have to adjust the angle and height according to the terrain.
After finally moving to the intended blasting site, the soldiers tried hard to lift the coffin up.
"Okay, let's pull the lead in and we'll remove it."
In the past, this work was done by the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army, but this time Li Dingguo's troops came to do it.
After all, it is completely different to watching others do it yourself.
After arranging the explosives, the two soldiers arched and retreated.
As required, they retreated to the safe area, and the leads were pulled long enough, and the soldiers carefully ignited the leads.
But with a stinging sound, the lead ignited sparks and shone quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
Everyone was staring at the entrance of the cave, after all, they didn't want any accidents to happen again.
The Ganjiang River was successfully captured and the last stronghold of the Qing army in Jiangxi was the only thing the emperor and his ministers in Yongli wanted to do now.
It turns out that explosives didn't disappoint them.
But with a loud bang, a gap was instantly blown on the city wall on the north side of the Ganjiang River, stones and rubble flying, and dust flying.
When the dust dissipated, the wise rulers and ministers clearly discovered that the gap was so big that several people passed through it at the same time.
The Qing army was obviously frightened and stood there as if they were stunned.
As soon as Zhu Youlang opened his golden mouth and ordered a general attack, the Ming army soldiers rushed towards the gap quickly.
"Roar into the city and kill the enemy and serve the country!"
"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"
"For the Ming Dynasty!"
Sometimes it only takes a moment to change the direction of the battlefield.
Seeing the Ming army like a tide surge into the gap, the Qing soldiers were so scared that they were indifferent to their master's feet that the wind ran away directly.
No one dares to defend or thinks he can defend it.
When the disaster comes, everyone flies to each other, and saving their lives is the most important thing.
Let's go as far as the Ming army has not yet entered the city. At this time, it's more abilities.
At this point, Zhu Youlang's mentality has also changed a lot.
After taking over Jiangxi, the Ming Dynasty was finally qualified to compete with the Qing army for internal strength.
With the two granaries of Huguang and Jiangxi, there are countless grains, and the army can be expanded and detonated at any time.
He no longer has to worry about crashing if he loses
