Daming pirates

By this time, the two sides had begun to become entangled. Under the desperate attack led by Zhou Yuji, the Yu Jiajun's defense line began to become precarious at this time. A large number of officers and soldiers opened several passages and sneaked into the Yu Jiajun

The defense line was close, and then suddenly rushed out from the hiding place and rushed directly to the Yu Jiajun's defense line, greatly curbing the Yu Jiajun's firepower advantage.

At this time, the sword players among the Yu family army finally broke out. They took off the iron-shell grenades they were carrying and threw them at places beyond the reach of muskets.

At this time, the officers and soldiers used many obstacles to avoid the Yu Jiajun's volley fire. They were all crowded in some corners or nooks and crannies, and rushed towards the Yu Jiajun's defense line from there, making it impossible for the Yu Jiajun's guns to fully function.

There was no time to reload and fire, so I could only hold the rifle and fight them with bayonets.

But grenades can be used to deal with the officers and soldiers. Wherever there is noisy and lively, Yu Jiajun's knife players throw grenades at them. When they run out of grenades, they go to look for the wounded and wounded brothers. Now the officers and soldiers are considered

Unlucky again.

He finally reached Yu Jiajun and was about to rush out to fight for his life, but iron hailstones began to rain down from above his head. This thing exploded when it hit the ground, blowing up the officers and soldiers hiding behind the wall. Every explosion was heard.

Afterwards, a group of officers and soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

As more and more Yu Jiajun discovered that grenades could kill a large number of officers and soldiers, more and more people took out grenades and began to throw them towards the hiding places of the officers and soldiers.

Zhou Yuji was on the front line in person at this moment and was leading his troops to attack the Yu Jiajun line. Suddenly a grenade fell near him. After hearing a loud bang, Zhou Yuji fell to the ground immediately as if he had been shocked by electricity.

The soldiers rushed to rescue Zhou Yuji and found that one of Zhou Yuji's legs was seriously injured. A piece of shrapnel had almost cut off half of his leg. The tendons were also severed. He was bleeding profusely and could no longer walk.

So the soldiers carried Zhou Yuji to withdraw, but Zhou Yuji ignored him, cursed loudly, ordered the soldiers to put him down, simply wrapped his wounds, and continued to order a fierce attack.

Just as he shouted to continue the attack, another grenade fell into the yard. After the explosion, several of his soldiers were knocked over. Zhou Yuji fell to the ground again, and his lower abdomen was injured by a piece of shrapnel.

Fortunately, he was wearing heavy armor and the shrapnel was blocked. Although it penetrated his armor, it did not penetrate deeply into his abdomen.

Zhou Yuji lay on the ground, gritted his teeth and asked the soldiers to unbutton his armor. He dug out the shrapnel from his belly with his hands, tore off a piece of his robe, wrapped the wound, leaned on his big gun, and again

He stood up and shouted again to continue the attack.

But although Zhou Yuji was brave, the soldiers under his command were far less brave than him. Many officers and soldiers were so frightened that they lost their fighting spirit when they saw their brothers in front or around them being blown to pieces. Although Zhou Yuji shouted for a vigorous fight,

, but watching whoever went up and who died, the officers and soldiers still collapsed.

Many officers and soldiers began to hesitate to move forward. Some officers and soldiers in front were blown away and turned around and started running back. The entire army began to become confused.

Zhou Yuji cursed loudly and ordered his officers and soldiers not to retreat without authorization, but at this time he was unable to move and could not prevent the officers and soldiers from collapsing.

At this time, on their flank, there was suddenly another dense gunfire, followed by a loud shout of killing, and a Yu family army suddenly appeared on the flank of Zhou Yuji's headquarters.

After a fierce charge and beating, Zhou Yuji's entire army collapsed and began to flee in all directions.

Zhou Yuji's personal soldiers originally wanted to protect Zhou Yuji and retreat, but they were blocked by a group of Yu family soldiers in a courtyard. Although the soldiers tried their best to protect Zhou Yuji, they were quickly slaughtered by the Yu family army.

The soldiers of the Yu family rushed into the courtyard, knocked Zhou Yuji to the ground and tied him up with ropes.

It turned out that this group of Yu Jiajun was the headquarters of the Yu Jiajun First Brigade outside Chaoyang Gate. After a hard battle, the Yu Jiajun finally broke through Chaoyang Gate and entered the city.

Just after Zhou Minghu surrendered at the gate and led Yu's army into the city, the two battalions of the 7th Brigade entered the city and continued to kill along the city wall towards Chaoyang Gate.

The news that Dongzhimen had been breached soon spread to the Chaoyangmen area. Gao Qiqian was so frightened that he lost his mind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yang Guozhu, who had just arrived at Chaoyang Gate, was also surprised. Why was the Dongzhi Gate's back leg broken by the Yu Jiajun when he was just walking in front? So he quickly sent people to inquire about the news and led his troops to set up defenses.

At this time, the Yu Jiajun's offensive was intensifying outside Chaoyang Gate, and the defenders in the city heard that Dongzhimen had been breached. The morale of the troops was suddenly in chaos, and for a while they were unable to resist the Yu Jiajun's fierce attack.

In addition, after some soldiers of the Yu family army invaded Dongzhimen, they immediately rushed to Chaoyang Gate. Although Yang Guozhu was determined to serve his country, he was unable to resist him. Some of the 3,000 soldiers and horses he brought over were not his former subordinates.

, his military orders were of little use in the chaos. Even his subordinates were panicked and at a loss at this time. In addition, the officers and soldiers who were originally guarding here did not listen to his orders.

.

So it didn't take long for the two battalions of the Yu Jiajun to attack the Chaoyang Gate area from Dongzhimen. The defenders here only resisted for a while and then dispersed. The soldiers of the Yu Jiajun quickly dispersed the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

, captured the Chaoyang Gate, opened the city gate from the inside, and then Yu Xiaotian led a large number of Yu family troops to swarm in and rushed into the capital.

At this time, the defenders had already scattered and disappeared without a trace. Yu Xiaotian just made a brief arrangement and dispatched troops to start rushing to Chongwenmen, Zhengyangmen, Xuanwumen, and Andingmen Deshengmen in the inner city.

Go out and control the gates of the inner city first, disperse the defenders there first, drive them out of the inner city or force them to the west of the city, and then think of ways to deal with them later.

As for himself, he led the Guards Battalion and an elite infantry battalion and headed straight to the Imperial City. On the way, he heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the Meridian Gate area, and knew that the Ming army must have begun to attack.

Qiu Qinghui's troops over there launched a counterattack, so they did not dare to neglect, and ordered all his subordinates to run forward and rush to the Meridian Gate as quickly as possible to resolve Qiu Qinghui's crisis first.

When he led his troops to the Meridian Gate, it was when Qiu Qinghui led his troops to defeat Zhou Yuji's troops and began to collapse. Coupled with the fierce attacks from his powerful Guards battalion and another infantry battalion, Zhou Yuji's troops began to collapse.

Almost all of them were wiped out by the Yu family's army in the Meridian Gate area, and the remaining defeated troops dispersed into the city.

At this time, the city was full of fleeing soldiers. The military discipline of these defeated Ming troops was very bad. Taking advantage of the defeat, many people started robbing homes in the city. They went from house to house and took a fancy to some families.

He immediately broke into the house, robbed the people's property, and raped and humiliated women. It can be said that he did all kinds of evil, just to make a fortune from the chaos.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian had no time to take care of these things. After defeating Zhou Yuji's troops, he immediately sent troops to Xihua Gate. At this time, Xihua Gate also encountered a counterattack by the army, but it was far less powerful than the Meridian Gate.

The fighting here was fierce. After the reinforcements arrived, it only took a moment to defeat the group of officers and soldiers besieging Xihua Gate. At this time, the entire periphery of the imperial city was basically stabilized.

The progress of Yu Jiajun's various units in the capital was very fast. Everyone rushed to the designated location and started a fierce street battle with the officers and soldiers stationed there. The officers and soldiers saw the Yu Jiajun entering the city in large numbers.

The morale of the soldiers immediately collapsed and they fled to the west of the city.

Although Cao Huachun tried his best to control the troops and horses, he was already helpless at this time. A large number of officers and soldiers were frightened and began to open the Fucheng Gate, Xizhi Gate, and Desheng Gate and fled out of the capital. Luohuang fled to them.

Considered a safe place.

At this time, the entire defense system of the capital collapsed. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. A large number of Ming army soldiers and generals were all minding their own business. No one could care about the emperor in the imperial city, or they were taking advantage of the opportunity in the city.

Make a rebellion and grab a lot, or grease the soles of your feet and leave the city to escape the capital.

Although the strength of the Yu Jiajun was not large, due to the moral collapse of the officers and soldiers defending the city, they basically did not encounter much resistance. They only encountered desperate resistance from a small number of loyal officers and soldiers in some places. However,

In the face of the Yu's army's superior firepower, their resistance seemed very pale, and they were soon either defeated on the spot or beaten to a pulp, and the entire army was annihilated.

Therefore, the progress of the Yu Jiajun was very fast. By nightfall, the Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Chaoyang Gate, and Anding Gate in the inner city had been captured by the Yu Jiajun. Only Xuanwu Gate and Fucheng Gate were left in the inner city.

Gate, Xizhimen and Deshengmen have not yet been controlled by Yu Jiajun.

After nightfall, Yu Xiaotian ordered to take a short rest and build barricade defense lines at each gate that had been captured to stabilize the current results. He also began to mobilize troops to gather at Xuanwumen and Deshengmen to prepare for midnight attacks on these two places.

Preparation of the city gate.

Yu Xiaotian himself led his troops outside the Meridian Gate and observed the majestic palace city shrouded in night from a distance.

Yu Xiaotian is very familiar with the Meridian Gate in front of him, now known as Chengtian Gate. Outside the Meridian Gate, a T-shaped square was built in this era. Although it is not as big as that of later generations, it is still quite impressive.

On the south three sides, palace walls were built to surround Chengtian Gate. In addition, three more palace gates were opened on the southeast and west sides.

The location where Yu Xiaotian is actually is not Chengtian Gate, but the Daming Gate outside Chengtian Gate. Now the palace gates here are closed tightly, and the city gate is pitch black and a scene of deathly silence.

(My precious daughter was delayed by a quack doctor! Yesterday morning she was admitted to the hospital with a high fever. She spent the entire day and night with her! I just managed to make up some time and coded a chapter. I was sleepy as hell, but I had to rush back right away.

Go to the hospital. If you don’t raise a child, you don’t know the kindness of your parents. I hope everyone in the world will be a filial son! It’s not easy to be a parent! If there is no update tomorrow, everyone must be considerate! Thank you! In addition, I also want to thank Brother Xiaochunfeng of the Desert for his support.
