Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Sun Chengzong certainly thought about this question.

Otherwise he wouldn't have stayed to die.

Even if he doesn't consider himself, he should consider his family!

Sun Chengzong: "My hometown is in Henan, which has now fallen into the hands of Mao Wenlong and his people.

Although I have been an official for many years and have some reputation in my hometown, my Sun family is not a noble family and we do not own much land. We can only be considered a small landlord.

I have already told my family that at worst I can give up some land, so that my family can be safe. As for me, life or death is no longer a big deal..."

Sun Chengzong said this.

What else can anyone else say?

Then Sun Chengzong joined in.

Several people sat around a table and continued to discuss city defense matters.

However, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao and others were present.

But they communicated with each other through eye contact without leaving any trace.

Despite appearing calm on the surface.

But in fact, everyone knew very well in their hearts that the city of Nanjing could not be defended.

Those generals who stayed behind will face difficult choices.

Either die on the battlefield and sacrifice your life for your country; or choose to surrender and bear the infamy; or retreat southward and find a new way out.

But the question is, if we choose to retreat south, where can we retreat to?

The army under Mao Wenlong continued to move south.

Is there still a safe place to stay in the South?

the answer is negative.

Otherwise, those aristocratic families would not have thought of moving overseas!

therefore.

These generals who stayed in Nanjing.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, they already had their own plans in their hearts.

Some people may be determined to live and die with the city and would rather die than surrender, such as General Qin Liangyu.

Some people considered surrendering and had already made plans to surrender.

——For example, descendants of military strategists such as Cao Wenzhao.

As for retreating to the south, none of these people had ever thought about it.

If they want to go south.

Then just follow Emperor Chongzhen and the others, and you won’t stay here...

In this tense and delicate atmosphere.

Every general was silently thinking about his own future.

At the same time, I am also observing the attitudes of others.

The direction of this war and their personal destiny.

It will be revealed in the next few days...

……

Only two short days had passed.

Li Jingxian, Geng Zhongming and others had already arrived in the suburbs of Nanjing.

It is worth mentioning that.

The army under Geng Zhongming had already successfully landed ashore.

They cooperated with the troops led by Li Jingxian and advanced simultaneously by water and land.

On the river.

Dozens of steel warships sailed majestically through the waves.

The large-caliber artillery equipped on the ship is even more terrifying.

On land, tanks charged into battle.

Leading the steel torrent, rushing forward unstoppably.

Residents around Nanjing were terrified.

The reason is simple - in the propaganda of the Ming Dynasty court, the army led by Mao Wenlong was simply a group of demons who killed people without blinking an eye.

Wherever they went, it was like a swarm of locusts, leaving no grass or chickens or dogs alive.

Moreover, based on the people’s painful experiences in the past.

No matter where a war breaks out, it is always the ordinary people who suffer in the end.

As a result, many villagers fled their homes.

He fled with his family and hid in the deep mountains and forests.

Their only hope is that the war can be ended soon.

They will return home after the fighting ends.

Continue to return to the village and live a life facing the loess and back to the sky.

However, with the arrival of the huge army.

The common people were surprised to find that the huge army under Mao Wenlong was completely different from any other army.

As the saying goes: "Bandits pass by like combs, and soldiers pass by like rakes."

Every time the army passed through a place.

For local people, it is often a terrible disaster.

In mild cases, the loss would be just some poultry, food and money; in serious cases, it could lead to the destruction of a family.

But this time it was very different.

When this mighty army passed through the border, it did not disrupt the peaceful lives of the people at all.

They neither forcibly requisitioned food nor robbed the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep raised by villagers.

Not even a copper coin or a woman was plundered.

This situation made everyone feel incredible.

At the same time, endless doubts arose in my heart.

I wondered what was going on.

Could it be that these soldiers have switched to a vegetarian diet?

Anyway, that's how these people see it.

They don't look like the legendary murderous demons...

……

And at this moment.

The city of Nanjing was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

The main generals seemed to be ready for battle according to the strategic deployment agreed upon in advance.

Sun Chengzong sat in the city, commanding the overall situation calmly and calmly.

Qin Liangyu and her famous White Spear Soldiers.

Since their numbers were too small, they were used as a reserve force.

——Always be ready to engage in battle and provide strong support to the front line.

The four powerful generals are Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and Cao Wenzhao.

Each led his elite troops to guard the four walls of Nanjing City.

However, what Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu did not know was.

The mighty army led by Li Jingxian and Geng Zhongming just appeared in everyone's sight.

They had not yet stepped within range of the Redcoats' cannons.

Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji and others ignored the actual situation and resolutely gave the order to fire!

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The deafening sound of artillery fire resounded through the sky, one after another, as if to tear apart the entire sky and destroy all invading enemies.

On the surface, the bombardment seemed unusually intense.

But in fact, apart from the huge momentum.

But it has no real effect...

Facing this circumstances.

Li Jingxian, who had received the telegram long ago, gave a decisive order.

Let the artillery on the warship concentrate its firepower and bombard the city gate fiercely.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…”

Earth-shaking loud noises were heard, and the city gate was instantly covered in fire and smoke.

The north gate of Nanjing city was blasted open.

at the same time.

The armored troops drove tanks.

Quickly charge towards the city gate.

The charge was led by tanks and armored vehicles, but not a single infantryman...

Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and Cao Wenzhao were among them.

Order the artillery to continue firing.

The shells from the red cannon kept firing out.

But it had no effect on tanks and armored vehicles.

Because the power of solid shells is too weak...

Ever since.

Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and Cao Wenzhao were among them.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the tanks were allowed to rush into the city gate.

The gates on all four sides of Nanjing City were soon breached.

Lu Xiangsheng and his men quickly retreated with their troops.

The army under Mao Wenlong quickly occupied the city gates and took over the city defense.

Then continue to use tanks to lead the way.

Keep advancing towards the city...

Qin Liangyu soon discovered that something was wrong.

Then she notified Sun Chengzong and took the white-flag soldiers under her command.

Advance quickly towards the north gate.

Want to regain control of the city gate.

As a result, he met Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and Cao Wenzhao on the way.

The four of them used the excuse of watching the report on military intelligence.

He quickly approached Qin Liangyu with his personal soldiers.

Then, they took control of Qin Liangyu and all the key people under her command...

Qin Liangyu was filled with grief and indignation: "You traitors, you are rebellious ministers and traitors. You eat the emperor's salary and you should be loyal to him.

You actually betrayed your country and surrendered to the enemy. I will chop you into pieces and make you traitors infamous for eternity..."
