The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Xiangyang City is not only tall, has complete defense facilities, but also has no shortage of troops.

Unfortunately, the morale of the camp soldiers was too low, and the rebels used grenades to clear the way too violently.

Not to mention the battles in Yuecheng and Wengcheng.

The west city gate was originally guarded by a general and more than two hundred battalions.

When they were frightened and panicked by the violent explosions and earthquakes outside the city gate, the guards of Sanbai Shengjie Camp who had sneaked into the city rushed out.

A wave of dozens of grenades were thrown over, and the explosion immediately caused the soldiers in the camp to fall on their backs.

The remaining battalions collapsed immediately.

He simply couldn't bring himself to resist. Being able to scream "enemy attack" before running away was already worthy of his monthly salary of less than one tael.

Huang Jie, the new commander of Shengjie Battalion, led 300 people to easily capture the city gate.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

On the other side, He Lianyue and others' attack also went smoothly.

Seeing that the Ming troops on the Yue City Wall were all retreating towards the main city wall, Helianyue commanded the rebels to chase after them, trying to take advantage of the rout to attack the main city wall.

At the same time, he directed the remaining rebels to descend from the city wall to the urn city and open the urn city gate.

Because the moon city wall is not as wide as the main city wall, even if both sides launch an attack at the same time, three to four hundred people will be enough.

The remaining people attacked Wengcheng.

Just when they were considering whether to ask Liu Sheng to bring another explosive pack to blow up the main city gate, the city gate was opened from the inside by the guards of Shengjie Camp.

Xiangyang City was captured by the Yibu rebels!

Seeing that nothing could be done, Zhang Kejian and Liu Guangxian retreated to the city with their servants, hoping to gather other battalion and rural soldiers to continue resisting in the city.

Xiangyang is a Fucheng, a big city, and there is Prince Xiang's Mansion. It does not mean that it will be completely lost if the city wall is lost.

The prefect Wang Cheng had previously underestimated the rebels, but now he saw that the famous fortified city in the world was easily breached by the rebels, but he couldn't accept it.

He also saw that the camp troops were not available and the country soldiers were not effective in fighting, and he felt that there was no hope of defending the city.

So he ran to the north city gate tower and threw himself into the Han River to die!

General Qian, who was responsible for guarding the north city wall, was trying to appease the soldiers here and was preparing to take people to the west city wall to support them.

He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he saw Wang Chengzeng running towards him, facing north, crying and talking a lot, and then drowned himself in front of all the soldiers in the camp.

as predicted.

The hundreds of battalion soldiers who had been barely pacified saw that the prefects had all drowned and died, so they started making noises one after another and refused to listen to the command of General Qian. They dispersed and fled each other.

After Zhang Kejian and Liu Guangxian retreated into the city with hundreds of servants, they originally wanted to gather camp and rural soldiers.

But I found that some soldiers were robbing people along the street!

Because the rural soldiers were locals, even from the city of Xiangyang, they fought with the camp soldiers because of this.

Upon seeing this situation, Zhang Kejian knew that the camp soldiers had no hope and could only help the rural soldiers suppress the camp soldiers.

But this allowed more battalion soldiers to join in the confrontation with the country soldiers!

Although the camp soldiers lacked organization and had low morale, they were well equipped.

In various small-scale battles, he actually fought neck to neck with the local soldiers and servants of Zhang Kejian and others.

After Liu Sheng led the main force of the rebel army into Xiangyang from the west city gate, what he saw was a terrible scene of barracks and rural soldiers fighting in various places, and local ruffians taking advantage of the fire to loot.

With insufficient troops at hand, Liu Sheng did not immediately send troops to suppress it as he had done in the past.

Instead, they first divided their forces to occupy the four city gates, two water gates, and the governor's office in the city.

Through the intelligence collected previously, Liu Sheng knew that Yang Sichang set up his headquarters in Xiangyang after receiving the task of "supervising the division against the bandits".

The food, grass, military pay, armor and other supplies needed by the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to suppress the invaders had to be transported here from all over the country, and then distributed to various soldiers and horses through the governor's camp, as a means of controlling various soldiers and horses. .

Therefore, the governor must have hoarded a lot of money, food and soldiers.

After Liu Sheng learned this information, he realized that the Governor's Palace was a more important target than Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Prince Xiang's Mansion probably has a lot of money and food, and besides money and food, the Governor's Palace probably also has a lot of well-made armors and weapons!

It was reported that the spies of the Feng camp and the guards of the Shengjie camp who had sneaked into the city in advance led the way. Liu Sheng quickly arrived outside the camp with the guards and a standing army battalion.

At this time, Zhang Kejian and Liu Guangxian led more than a hundred or hundreds of rural soldiers into the camp for a short time, preparing to rely on the abundant supplies in the camp to stand and wait for help.

It's a pity that they had just started to arrange their defensive tasks when three hundred guards from the Huben Battalion attacked.

Even Liu Sheng personally participated in the attack.

He was wearing a bulletproof vest and was surrounded by many personal guards. He was armed with two revolvers and was dedicated to hunting down those who resisted in the Ming army.

In addition to the heavy-armored sword players, there are also a hundred heavy-armored fusiliers among the guards of Huben Camp.

Carrying thirty more squatting tiger cannons!

With such firepower, the already low morale of the Ming army could not stop it, and they were defeated in almost a single encounter.

During the battle, General Liu Guangxian was killed by a flintlock gun.

Zhang Kejian, who joined the army, committed suicide after being surrounded.

After capturing the governor's headquarters, Liu Sheng sent troops to capture the government offices and county offices, and then he had the idea to divide his troops to suppress the chaos in the city...

Xiangyang city was large, and the rebel army brought by Liu Sheng was only more than 4,000.

So when it got dark, the chaos in the city was barely calmed down.

During this process, Zhu Changfa, King of Guiyang of Xiangfan lineage, and dozens of Zhu Ming clan members tried to escape from the east city gate, but were intercepted by the rebels. Several were killed on the spot, and the rest surrendered and were captured.

At around eight o'clock in the evening.

Li Guofan, Liu Yushu, and Duan Lei, the military and political officers of the Third Battalion of the Guards, counted the money, grain, soldiers, armor and other materials confiscated from the governor's office, government office, and county office.

As Liu Sheng expected, the governor's office had indeed hoarded a lot of money, food, and soldiers.

There are 32 shi of grain and 75 taels of silver.

The food and grass here include both grain, fodder and beans for horses and mules, which is actually not much.

As for silver, 75 taels is pretty good.

As the governor of the five provinces, Yang Sichang could allocate money and grain from the five provinces to fight against the invaders, but he did not bring all the money and grain earned by the five provinces in a year, but a part every month.

At the same time, some were shipped out and distributed to various Ming armies.

Therefore, Liu Sheng was quite satisfied with the amount of money and grain paid.

What surprised Liu Sheng was the soldiers and armors hoarded by Xingyuan.

Total: five thousand sets of cloth armor! Three hundred sets of Zhajia and chain mail each!

Three thousand swords, three thousand shields, two thousand bows, and fifty thousand arrows!

There are also five thousand spears and spears each, and miscellaneous cold weapons such as wolf mills and boring palladium ranging from one thousand to three thousand.

There are also a thousand blunderbuss!

Why add the "Western" prefix?

Because it represents a thousand gunshots purchased by the Ming Dynasty from Westerners, the quality is more guaranteed than those made by the Ming Dynasty itself, and they can basically be used.

In addition, there are more than 300 tiger crouching cannons of various calibers, and thousands of Ming Dynasty self-made firearms such as three-eyed blunderbuss.

There are also two hundred stones of sulfur, three hundred stones of charcoal, and fifteen hundred stones of saltpeter!
