Chapter 120： Break the city

This is the Ming army buried thousands of kilograms of explosives in the dug tunnels. Although they are all black powder, the quantity changes and the qualitative changes occur. When enough quantity is used, its power looks like TNT explosives.

The eight-meter-high city wall was blasted with a gap of more than 20 meters, and the gap was not piled with debris like it was smashed by a shell.

This section of the city wall has been blown to the sky, and the soil has been blown to other places. Still staying in place, which is more than one meter tall.

This height is no longer a height for the military.

As for the soldiers of the Qing army who were originally on this section of the city wall, no bones have been bombed.

The commando, which had been prepared a long time ago, immediately rushed in from this gap.

Although this gap is not particularly large, it wins suddenly.

The section of the city wall where the artillery shells crashed before, the Qing army had already made perfect preparations to block it, and it was impossible for the Ming army to rush in easily.

But now this section of the city wall was blown up, but it was beyond the expectation of the Qing army. None of them had experienced this way of breaking the city. So there is no special force to deal with this situation.

However, the Ming Army had already been prepared, and when the dust had not settled, the prepared commandos rushed in.

Now the Qing army is completely in danger. If they can't plug this gap in time, the Ming army will continue to flood into the city.

When enough Ming soldiers came in, the Qing army on the wall was in danger if they wanted to withdraw back to the capital wall.

Man Dahai, who was in charge of the command during this period, was panicked when he saw this situation. He immediately sent people down to encircle him. At the same time, he sent messengers to report the situation to Boluo urgently and ask for instructions on whether to retreat.

From Man Dahai's point of view, there is no longer any need to guard the outer city wall at this time, and returning to the capital city wall is the most correct choice.

However, he could not give such a correct order, otherwise Boluo would have to charge him with retreat without authorization, then he would not be able to take it and walk away.

The last time he completed the task of covering the retreat was not satisfactory to Boluo, this time he did not dare to make Boluo angry anymore.

It's just that the city wall on the southeast side is located just south of Boluo, about as far as Qibali Road. When the messenger rushed to the army and then came back, the day lily would be cold.

He still needs to hold on for half an hour to get the order to retreat. If he can't hold on to that time, then everything will stop.

Thinking of these consequences, Man Dahai sweated profusely, yelling to guard, and rewarding.

But Man Dahai didn't know that the phrase "reward for many rewards" was actually more suitable for shouting when he was in an advantage. It was used to stimulate morale and reduce losses.

When they are in the upper hand, they will shout a reward, and the soldiers will rush to earn credit.

When you are in a disadvantaged position, shouting a lot of rewards is actually telling the soldiers that the situation has reached a very critical point, and the general must rely on heavy rewards to save the defeat.

Compared with heavy rewards, soldiers still cherish their lives more. No amount of rewards can be enjoyed by living.

Man Dahai's call directly led to the originally sluggish morale, which was completely cleared.

On the city wall in the south direction, Boluo was very anxious at this time. He wanted to know what happened to the right wing and whether the city had been broken.

He needs enough information to make the right decision. If that direction has been broken, then there is no need to defend this section of the outer wall, and he must retreat in time to reduce losses.

If it did not break, it would be a pity to retreat at this time, and it would miss a good opportunity to kill the Ming army.

Boluo anxiously waited, while the Ming army's siege continued without being affected by the southeast.

After all, the distance is too far apart, and the impact hasn't spread to this quickly.

The Ming army directly south still had to rely on themselves.

After a while, the Ming army at the gap also achieved a lot of success, retreating the defending Qing army, and more Ming troops poured into the gap, and they were continuing to march into the city.

At this moment, the crash that hit the city gate finally achieved its effect, smashing and destroying a city gate.

Although there were still sandbags and other obstacles behind the city gate, these were all pediatrics for the Ming army eager to invade the city, and they could be removed soon.

During this period of the city wall battle, the Qing army fell into an extremely dangerous situation.

At this moment, the messenger from the southeast finally arrived in front of Boluo and reported the situation in the southeast.

Boluo had already planned to retreat, and when he heard that the southeast had fallen, he immediately ordered the retreat without hesitation.

At the same time, he sent a messenger to the southwest to inform Hong Chengchou to retreat.

The defensive power of the city wall relies on the integrity, as long as a large part of it is lost, then the entire city wall is roughly equal to the loss.

Without the condescending advantage, they won't have any advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

In this case, it is better to save strength and retreat to the capital wall. After all, the Beijing city wall is taller, thicker and bigger, and its defense is several times that of the outer city wall.

Leaning on the walls of the capital, they can take even greater advantage.

Boluo arranged for some soldiers to continue to resist and contain the Ming army, and he led a large army to retreat in an orderly manner.

The generals who were left behind were naturally cursing their mothers in their hearts, but they did not dare to resist.

When the news spread to the southwest, Hong Chengchou heard that the city wall to the southeast had been lost, and tens of thousands of alpacas rushed past in his heart.

This is too fast, anyhow, this is a wall over eight meters high. If this wall is not kept for ten and a half days, it is a failure.

However, now it was just a round of total offensive, and the city wall was breached.

When did the city wall become so useless?

Hong Chengchou was puzzled, but this doubt did not affect his decision. He also announced the retreat in the first place.

Anyway, there is a more majestic Beijing city wall behind it, and the most important thing is to retain troops at this time.

As long as it can hold the capital city wall, Nanjing is not lost.

Hong Chengchou's retreat was much easier than Boluo and Man Dahai, because the city wall on his side was still firmly in his hands.

The city wall here did not collapse. Liu Han Sanguang relied on a few stair cars, and the number of soldiers transported to the city wall at one time was limited, unable to achieve a decisive role.

After paying a certain price, the Qing army also beheaded all the soldiers who jumped onto the wall.

Among them, Hong Chengchou is the main reason for dispatching and commanding well.

Hong Chengchou was not just a civil official. He was also a handsome man who led soldiers and fought with Manchu for many years in Liaodong. He was by no means inferior to Boluo in terms of military affairs.

It's just because of his Han identity, so he has been unable to control the military power.

Both Hong Chengchou and Boluo retreated smoothly, and they also withdrew a large number of troops, retaining their vitality.

And Mandahai in the southeast was miserable. He was surrounded before the messenger came back. The Ming army had attacked the city wall from the inside, cutting off his contact with Boluo.

At this time, Man Dahai had fallen into an embarrassing situation where he wanted to be unable to defend and could not withdraw.
