Chapter 671

Especially after dawn, Liu Jiajun gradually gave full play to their strengths.

Last night, it was a night battle. It was dark and fuzzy. At the same time, they were not familiar with the terrain. They drew with each other.

In their eyes, this is a little incredible. Liu Jiajun has built the army for so many years. They have played their own prestige and arrogance. In their words, looking at the world, what can be compared with them is the construction of slaves or the limited army of the government and army, which is definitely not this group of disabled soldiers and defeated generals in Nanjing.

However, the group of disabled and defeated generals they despised simply pressed them and tied with them. Liu Jiajun suffered a lot of casualties in the bloody battle that night, at least as many as 2000 people.

It was not until after dawn that they gave full play to all their advantages, which subdued each other.

After a night of bloody battle, Liu Jiajun controlled the gap and launched a fierce attack in the direction of the city gate. After dawn, they took the east gate. When Liu Jiajun's huge Liu character military flag was raised in the huge East Gate Tower, the tall and thick city gate was also opened, and a large number of Liu Jiajun soldiers, like a flood, killed along the east gate, Killed the whole city of Nanjing.

In the sound of horn and bugle, it was majestic and upright, pointed by the war flag, the iron hoof cracked the ground, the knife was shining, and the blood stained the earth.

There is no doubt that Nanjing can hold on for half a month. It is with its tall city wall that it blocked the repeated attacks of such well-equipped Liu Jiajun.

Now that the city wall is down, all the advantages of the officers and troops are gone, which gives Liu Jiajun the upper hand.

After all, Nanjing city is a famous strong city in the world. It is tall, towering and very strong. After 200 years of wind and frost, it is still strong. However, after a night of bloody battle, Liu Jiajun finally captured the east gate.

After they captured the east gate, Liu's troops in the other four directions quickly transferred their mobile troops to the east gate. They just left some people and horses to block the original gate and forbid the other party to escape. Then the main force moved eastward and prepared to enter the city from the east gate.

Even if they won the gate of Nanjing City, it will take time to win the whole Nanjing City, because it is a huge city, with a radius of 60 kilometers. Although there are few defenders in the city, they occupy the vital Tianjin and fight hard. It is not easy for Liu Jun to win easily.

Therefore, after Liu Jiajun captured the east gate, Liu Bu immediately set his headquarters at the east gate, and then assigned various troops to attack all parts of the city.

After a bloody battle last night, Liu Jiajun successfully controlled the east gate and launched a fierce attack on other places. Since they are the party attacking the city, they naturally use all means to attack this huge city. In order to win this city, they fight at all costs and in all ways in order to cause trouble to the garrison, When they killed, they also set fire on a large scale, giving the garrison more pressure and trouble.

The whole city of Nanjing fell into a bloodbath. The cries of killing sounded everywhere, and the people in the city were in a mess.

Duke Xu felt desperate after he lost the east gate. He looked up at the sky and screamed sadly. He was so angry that he pulled out his sword and emptied his anger. He knew that the gap could not be held, which meant that the city gate could not be held. After the city gate could not be held, the enemy's army could be driven in for a long time, and they had nothing to resist the enemy's front.

I have been cultivated by my father since I was a child to learn the art of war and martial arts. I also regard myself as a famous general in the world. I often think that the hateful thing is that I was born in peace and prosperity. If I was born in troubled times, with my ability, I can definitely do what my ancestor King Zhongshan could do in those years.

However, he defended Nanjing, a strong city, and fell in just half a month, which filled his heart with frustration and injury.

Xu Guogong led his army and his family to retreat to the old city. They are ready to stick to the old city and familiar with the characteristics of the terrain. He knows that as long as he sticks here for a moment, he can drag the enemy army here to buy time for the various armies rushing to aid Nanjing and more time for the governments in Jiangnan to guard against the enemy.

They saw fires everywhere in the city, smoke billowing, and shouts of killing enveloped the whole city. When they saw the place where they gave birth to themselves, they fell into a disastrous war and fire. He was very self reproach and very angry.

Duke Xu hated the ambition of the Liu family army and plotted to usurp the throne, leaving the people suffering from swords.

At the same time, I also hate that I am useless and can't defend Nanjing city and protect the people who support me. The Xu family has been worshipped by the people in Nanjing for 200 years, but when there is an accident in Nanjing, it can't protect the people in Nanjing city and make them suffer from this sword.

Xu Guogong had to put a halberd on his head and shouted: "good boys in Nanjing, follow me! Today we will die together with the enemy!"

Don't mention that at this critical moment of life and death, Duke Xu encouraged his morale and asked the soldiers to fight together. He really made everyone obey him. Everyone said in unison, "kill! There is an enemy but no me!"

Of course, they claim to fight a decisive battle with the enemy and fight to the death, but they do not take the initiative to attack the enemy, but constantly retreat. They retreat not to escape for their lives, but to form a new defense line and prepare for long-term resistance to the Liu family army.

Because Duke Xu also understood one thing, that is, the Liu family army is very powerful. They are fighting head-on. The officers and soldiers may not be their opponents, but they can resist the enemy step by step by taking advantage of the favorable terrain.

If soldiers are inferior to each other in terms of quality, personal skills and equipment, they can consider using terrain to recover the distance between the two sides.

But their wishful thinking was too good. Just as Duke Xu immediately drew up the defeated soldiers and was ready to rally, suddenly several bullets hit him and made several blood holes. Although Duke Xu sat on the horse and was covered with two layers of armor, the bullet still shot through his armor without hesitation and blood burst out.

At this moment, the whole battlefield seemed to be suddenly quiet. No one expected that Duke Xu would be shot at such a critical time, and he was still shot several times.

Duke Xu sat on a horse and was shot several times. His blood flowed down. He only felt that the sky was turning faintly. At this moment, all his strength was losing rapidly. Although he wanted to hold on, he knew that he was the symbol of the Ming army. As long as he could hold on, the soldiers could gather their morale.

If he couldn't stand it, he was afraid that he would be dead. Even though he tried hard to hold on, with the continuous loss of blood, he felt that he had no strength. Although the people around him tried to hold him and want him to hold on, he still pushed Jinshan and fell down like a jade pillar.

Xu Guogong, the soul figure in Nanjing and the God of war among the officers and soldiers, shot several guns on the horse and fell to the ground.

The officers and soldiers have been fighting under the command and leadership of Duke Xu. The Duke of the current Dynasty led everyone to fight here, and everyone was convinced. He followed him to fight hard. Duke Xu, who was born in such a noble family, fought hard with everyone like ordinary soldiers to defend Nanjing. What can they complain about, Just follow him desperately. Anyway, it's also to defend Nanjing city and their hometown.

But no one expected that Duke Xu, whom they regarded as the God of war, died in public on the battlefield.

At this moment, everyone was stunned and silly, and the atmosphere seemed to condense.

This is naturally Liu Jiajun's means. Among Liu Jiajun, they have subconsciously trained snipers.

Of course, their so-called sniping, the current gun, even rifling, can only hit human objects. It is impossible to carry out long-distance and high-precision sniping. Even in this regard, it is not as good as bow and arrow, but they adopted another method.

This method is that three people form a combat team to shoot and kill each other's generals, so as to make up for the lack of accuracy with the number of people and the number of muskets.

They are generals who hunt and kill each other on the battlefield, and Duke Xu is their main target.

Because their intelligence personnel continuously spread intelligence, their intelligence personnel came to a conclusion that the city can persist in resistance. Up to now, it is Duke Xu alone who is gathering all the morale. He is the soul of the people in the city. If he is killed, he can defeat the morale of the other party in one fell swoop.

If someone like Liu Bu doesn't even have the chance to assassinate.

Because Liu Bu seldom personally went to the battlefield to charge and command the battle, he always deployed and commanded in his headquarters. At most, he only went to the battlefield to see the terrain.

Even later, he didn't even look at the terrain, because he had enough skilled craftsmen to make sand tables with very realistic accuracy for him. These sand basins made him know the battlefield like the back of his hand, which made Liu Bu stay in his barracks and his headquarters all the time. It was very difficult for outsiders to stab him.

The Duke of Xu is different. Although he has a title and is highly respected, he has to go to the battlefield. That is, he has no excellent generals. He can only go to the battlefield in person. He goes to the battlefield in person and works hard, which gives the enemy a chance.

In war these days, there are few assassinations of enemy generals, because it is regarded as an ignominious means and will be despised when it comes out.

But that's what Liu Bu did. He thought that since ancient times, war has never tired of fraud. As long as you win the war, you can say anything. Therefore, after obtaining the information provided by the intelligence department, they set up 30 combat teams.

The so-called battle team, with as many as 100 people, was specially responsible for finding the goal of Duke Xu on the battlefield. As a result, he succeeded.
