Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 8 8, Chuangjun became angry when he was blocked, and the officers and soldiers were inspired to become pure

Without any hesitation, Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice, "Continue loading the shells!"

Although he possesses artillery skills, Zhu Cihong is still new to this cannon after all, so he still needs an adaptation period at first.

But soon, Zhu Cihong quickly adapted to the operation method of this Hongyi cannon, and the firing became more and more accurate.

The shells either fell on the heads of the densely packed Chuangjun, or on the heads of the generals who were commanding the Chuangjun dancing and dancing. After each cannonball went down, you could see that the momentum of the Chuangjun's advance was obviously blocked at the place hit by the shells. .

The officers and soldiers on the city wall watched this scene, and their confidence began to gradually improve.

Some people even applauded Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, your cannons are really good!"

Zhu Cihong laughed loudly, and waved his hands in a hurry: "Men are good at shooting/cannon, let me take a good look at it and learn it!"

There was a burst of laughter on the city wall. These officers and soldiers who were already very tired and desperate suddenly had some bold ideas in their hearts.

Maybe, this Changhua Gate can really be defended.

Outside the city, in the middle of the Chuangjun army formation, the smile on Li Zicheng's face slowly disappeared.

"What's going on here? Why did the officers and soldiers at Changhua Gate suddenly start fighting? Military division, military division!"

Li Zicheng's voice fell, and a scholar wearing a feather fan scarf suddenly appeared beside him. Although this person tried his best to pretend to be a high-spirited demeanor, his narrow, narrow triangular eyes and the corners of his lips kept trembling. The character-horoscope mustache ruins everything.

This is Niu Jinxing, a scholar of Tianyoudian University under the Dashun regime and Li Zicheng's number one military advisor.

Niu Jinxing is to Li Zicheng what Zhuge Liang is to Liu Bei and Zhang Liang is to Liu Bang.

Only to hear Niu Jinxing waving his feather fan, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, it seems that this should be the Ming emperor in the capital who rejected Du Xun's proposal."

Li Zicheng frowned, and said lightly: "How do you say that?"

Niu Jinxing said: "At the Changhua Gate before, the guards of the officers and soldiers were a bit softer than the woman's chest, but now they are suddenly so tough. It can only mean that a strong reinforcement has arrived!"

Li Zicheng couldn't help but sneered: "He Ming can still have reinforcements now, and elite reinforcements? He/mother is so ridiculous."

Niu Jinxing also laughed, shook the feather fan more vigorously, and then sneezed loudly.

Li Zicheng glanced at Niu Jinxing, and said earnestly, "Military Master, it's still spring and it's just raining. You should fan your fan every day, so you don't get a cold soon."

Niu Jinxing wiped his nose with his sleeve in embarrassment, and then found that there were obvious stains on the white sleeve, and suddenly felt like crying without tears.

But fortunately, this guy has not forgotten his duty as a military adviser, and said to Li Zicheng seriously: "Your Majesty, in short, Du Xun should be in danger now, and our previous strategy of dismantling and persuading the ministers of Ming Dynasty through Du Xun's internal disintegration and surrender is probably the same. Failed, it seems that there are still a few sober people standing by Chongzhen's side in Daming."

Li Zicheng was obviously a little unhappy, and said, "Then what should we do?"

Niu Jinxing said with a smile: "That's not easy? As long as Your Majesty asks Liu Zongmin to charge him for a while, push the cannon closer, and bombard him a few times on the city wall, are you afraid that the officers and soldiers above will not be afraid? In recent years, officials of the Ming Dynasty Your Majesty has seen the so-called integrity, and when I really feel that Da Ming can't stand it, they surrender faster than anyone else, the key is that we have to show our strength and let them know that the city of Beijing is over!"

Li Zicheng patted his thigh and said with a smile: "This is indeed the truth. Come on, tell Liu Zongmin not to hold back, go up and charge, and show those Daming officers and soldiers, how can I destroy you?" Daming him!"

At this moment, wherever Li Zicheng looked, he suddenly saw a flash of fire in the muzzle of the giant cannon on the city wall, and then the huge shell flew out, and landed on the most densely populated area of ​​the invading army. an area.

Li Zicheng spat heavily on the ground, and said viciously: "Who/mother fired the cannon on it? It's quite accurate. If I enter the city, I have to tie him to the muzzle of the cannon and shoot it there. Go to the Bohai Sea!"

"Fire!" Zhu Cihong shouted, and Wang Chengen beside him immediately lit the fuze.

The people around dispersed in an instant, and with a bang, the city walls shook briefly.

Zhu Cihong stretched out his head and watched the shell fall into the vanguard of the invading army, killing and injuring a group of them.

Wang Chengen watched the situation outside the city, and shouted in surprise: "Your Highness, the bandit army dare not rush!"

After firing so many artillery shells, which ranged from a few to more than a dozen or 20 people were killed or wounded, the vanguard of the Breaking Army obviously couldn't stand it any longer. They stopped charging forward one after another, and some even slowed down. Step back.

Everyone came to Beijing to make a fortune, not to be crushed by shells!
Zhu Cilang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "They're just a group of traitors, how could they be the opponents of our Ming Dynasty army!"

The red-clothed cannon was able to defeat even the elite Manchu Qing troops supervised by Nurhachi, and the Dashun Peasant Army was naturally even more difficult.

The 15-year-old Zhu Cihong is still in the stage of changing his voice, and his voice sounds somewhat sharp, not as steady as that of an adult male, but his laughter is heard by the other officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the city wall, and it adds to everyone's joy. Lots of confidence.

Many people gradually began to show trust in the eyes they looked at Zhu Cihong.

The prince's performance was something that everyone could see. If the prince hadn't suddenly stabilized the morale of the army, and then fired one after another to defeat the vanguard of the army, everyone would be in a bitter battle, or even a deadly battle!

At this moment, a really shrill voice sounded like a woman: "Wang Chengen, are you crazy? How could you bring the crown prince here? Quickly bring the crown prince back to the palace. The Changhua Gate is the old man's gate." Site!"

Zhu Cilang turned his head when he heard the sound, just in time to see an old eunuch hurried over with a team of officers.

Relying on the memories in his mind, Zhu Cihong was able to easily recognize that this was the eunuch Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory, who had just been ordered to help Daming take charge of the military in the Changhuamen area a few days ago!
That is, the one who opened the city gate and surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Zhu Cihong subconsciously took another look at Cao Huachun, and found that except for the soles of his boots, there was not a single drop of water on Cao Huachun's body.

It just stopped raining.

With that in mind, Zhu Cihong's expression was a little playful.

Although Wang Cheng'en is the chief writer of the Si Li Supervisor and also serves as the admiral and eunuch of the Beijing Camp, when faced with Cao Huachun's reprimand, he still can only obey.

Because, Cao Huachun was Wang Chengen's adoptive father after he entered the palace!

After reprimanding Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun walked in front of Zhu Cihuang, and said with a smirk: "Your Highness, it is very urgent to attack the city now, and please return to the palace quickly, or if something happens, His Majesty will reprimand you." Come down, this old slave can't afford to wait!"
