"Your Majesty, be careful..."

Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery and the yellow sand in the sky, a black shadow rushed over and blocked Zhang Xianzhong...

Zhang Xianzhong, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, helped the palace guard, but he saw blood flowing out of the guard's eyes, nostrils and mouth. Looking at the guard's back, he saw that his flesh and blood were already bloody, and he could not survive.

Zhang Xianzhong's face turned pale, and his eyes almost burst out of fire.

The Daxi Army sergeants assembled outside the south gate encountered fierce bombing. The shells exploded among the ranks as if they had eyes. Many sergeants were thrown into the air. The rest of the sergeants were also running around, trying to avoid the shells.

bombing...

Zhang Xianzhong did not expect that he would suffer such heavy losses before he had time to fight with the enemy troops attacking the city. A shadow of uneasiness hovered in his mind. During the rebellion, he encountered countless critical situations, but none of them happened.

Such a strong feeling.

Several officers ran over in disgrace and knelt down to Zhang Xianzhong, imploring him to leave the city immediately. They defended him to the death.

Zhang Xianzhong felt a little shaken in his heart, and thought of evacuating Huangzhou Fucheng from the west gate, north gate or east gate under the protection of everyone, and rushing to Wuchang Fucheng as quickly as possible to avoid this fierce attack. But this way

His wavering did not last long, and he soon made up his mind and guarded Huangzhou Fucheng together with many soldiers, waiting for the reinforcements from the Qizhou direction.

In Zhang Xianzhong's view, even if the enemy's artillery fire is extremely fierce, it is still necessary to attack the city through sergeants. The city in Huangzhou Fucheng is strong and tall, and it is not that simple for the enemy to attack the city wall and enter the city.

The officer has ordered the sergeants to evacuate quickly towards the city to avoid the bombardment of artillery shells. As for the city wall, sergeants will not be sent to stick to it for the time being, so as not to become the target of artillery bombardment and increase unnecessary casualties.

Zhang Xianzhong also evacuated towards the city. Although he was the emperor of Daxi Kingdom, cannonballs had no eyes. Besides, several of the palace guards around him were hit by artillery fire, and two of them were severely damaged by the bombing.

There are no complete bodies.

...

Before the sound of artillery had completely stopped, the shouts of charging could be heard.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was retreating, suddenly became furious. If there were no sergeants guarding the city wall and the enemy could easily break through the wall, the city of Huangzhou would be in extreme danger.

"Follow me to the south gate to kill the enemy..."

Zhang Xianzhong shook off the guard's hand, turned around and ran towards the south gate.

When the sergeants who were evacuating saw Zhang Xianzhong taking the lead and running towards the south gate, they turned around and headed towards the south gate. Many palace guards maintained their formation and followed Zhang Xianzhong. They wanted to avoid the presence of sergeants.

To collide with Zhang Xianzhong, we must also prevent the cannonballs roaring from the sky.

Sad scenes kept appearing. On one side were shells exploding on the ground, and on the other side were sergeants charging toward the south gate despite artillery fire. During this period, sergeants kept falling under the cover of artillery fire. Some of the sergeants who fell to the ground and groaned were still trying to move towards the south gate.

Climb towards the south gate.

Zhang Xianzhong saw this scene, and his heart was bleeding. These sergeants were the most elite sergeants of the Great Western Army. Many of them had been with him for many years. They were extremely brave on the battlefield and were not afraid of death. But in this

During the battle to defend Huangzhou Fucheng, he fell under artillery fire before he even had time to enter the battlefield.

The artillery bombardment finally stopped.

Painful moans could be heard from all around, and many soldiers who had fallen to the ground were still struggling in pain. Many of them had no way to survive and were just making their last struggle. The soldiers accompanying them could not rescue them at all, and could only give them to those who suffered.

The slightly injured sergeant was quickly bandaged.

Zhang Xianzhong finally came to the bottom of the city wall. When he was about to go up the city wall, several officers stood in front of him. Zhang Xianzhong, who was in a rage, pulled out the steel knife from his waist and stared angrily. Many officers had to get out of the way.

.

Clear gunshots and screams came from the city wall.

Zhang Xianzhong rushed up to the city wall and once again saw a horrifying scene. The floor tiles on the city wall were uneven due to the bombing. Many soldiers fell into a pool of blood. Some had no breath, and some were still struggling desperately.

..

The sergeants who were close to the wall to resist kept falling down screaming amidst the gunfire. The bows and arrows in their hands had not had time to be fired. The sergeants who followed behind had begun to show hesitation. Several officers commanding the battle tried their best.

Roaring angrily, he ordered the sergeants to immediately go to the wall to resist the attacking enemy...

"This is not Zheng Chenggong's sergeant, it is the Denglai New Army, the Denglai New Army..."

Zhang Xianzhong's roar became frightened. The army under Zheng Chenggong did not have such strong combat effectiveness. Only the Denglai New Army had such advanced firearms.

Back then, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army, which consisted of a million people, was finally completely wiped out by Denglai's New Army and was wiped out. Now it was finally Zhang Xianzhong's turn.

If this battle takes place in Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong can still think of protecting himself. Sichuan's terrain is complex. He can lead his sergeants to retreat into the mountains to avoid the powerful attack of Denglai's new army. But this is the capital of Huangzhou, and the surrounding areas

There are almost no mountains, and the capital city of Huangzhou has been completely surrounded by Denglai's new army. Evacuation is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Looking at the officers around him, Zhang Xianzhong turned pale and spoke.

"It's all my fault in judgment. Brothers, you fight the enemy with all your strength, even if you risk your life, you still have to wait until Qizhou's reinforcements arrive. Only when Qizhou's reinforcements arrive, will you have a way to survive..."

The shouts of killing outside the city wall were getting closer and closer. Judging from the sound, they were about to reach the bottom of the city wall.

Several officers knelt in front of Zhang Xianzhong again and begged Zhang Xianzhong to evacuate immediately from the north gate or east gate. Zhang Xianzhong refused again. He knew very well that the deployment of Denglai's new army was so strict, how could he be left so easily?

The only chance to evacuate is to stick to Huangzhou Fucheng and still have a glimmer of hope.

More sergeants climbed onto the city wall and rushed toward the wall stacks to defend against Denglai's new army attacking the city.

...

Wu Sangui's face already showed a comfortable smile.

The charging soldiers of Denglai New Army encountered little resistance and were about to approach the city wall.

The sergeants of the sniper team aimed accurately. Every bullet they fired would cause a Daxi Army sergeant to scream and fall down on the city wall. The bullets fired by the sniper team had become the dream of Daxi Army sergeants.

The fierce artillery bombardment and the precise shooting of the sniper team had severely weakened the morale of the Daxi Army sergeants who were defending Huangzhou Fucheng, while the attacking Denglai New Army soldiers suffered almost no losses.

According to this attack speed, Denglai's new army will be able to capture Huangzhou Fucheng in about two hours at most, and the next step will be a fight in Fucheng.

Finally, the ladder was erected, and there were already sergeants climbing up the ladder to the city wall. The sergeants of the Daxi Army who kept coming up were either hit by the bullets of the sniper team and fell down, or were struck by the percussive flintlocks in the hands of the sergeants on the ladder.

He fell down after being shot, and was able to throw down the sergeant of the Onishi Army next to the battlement.

When the first batch of Denglai New Army sergeants climbed onto the city wall, Wu Sangui put down the monocular telescope in his hand and spoke to the messenger next to him.

"Order all sergeants to launch a general attack on Huangzhou Fucheng. The sergeants stationed at the west gate, north gate and east gate must be mentally alert and no one is allowed to escape Huangzhou Fucheng..."

The rumble of drums sounded, and the general attack on Huangzhou Fucheng began...

Countless soldiers of the Denglai New Army rushed towards Huangzhou Fucheng with shouts.

...

Zhang Xianzhong had retreated to the city. He watched helplessly as the sergeants of the Denglai New Army attacked the city wall. The percussion flintlock guns in the hands of these Denglai New Army sergeants sprayed bullets ruthlessly, making the Daxi Army sergeants scream.

After falling down, it was impossible to get close. Several Daxi Army sergeants hiding in the surroundings shot their bows and arrows, causing some Denglai New Army sergeants to fall. But more Denglai New Army sergeants climbed up the ladder.

On top of the city wall...

Zhang Xianzhong had to evacuate the city wall. If he continued to insist, even hundreds of palace guards risking their lives would be unable to withstand the percussion flintlock guns in the hands of Denglai's new army sergeants.

After hastily descending the city wall, Zhang Xianzhong was in a daze. He couldn't believe how there could be such a brave army and such sharp artillery in this world. Could it be that these sergeants of the Denglai New Army were sent down by God?

.

Clear gunshots kept coming from the city wall. Under the protection of everyone, Zhang Xianzhong quickly evacuated in the direction of the temporary camp. Several officers saw Zhang Xianzhong evacuate from the south gate and turned around to go to the city wall to direct the battle. Unfortunately, several of them

The officer was shot by the roaring bullets before he could reach the city wall...

After entering the main hall, Zhang Xianzhong finally couldn't bear it any longer and slumped down on the dragon chair, staring blankly at everyone.

There were voices all around urging him to evacuate the capital of Huangzhou immediately.

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand feebly.

"Stop talking, I want to be quiet for a while..."

The palace guards and scouts coming in and out made it impossible for the palace to be quiet. The civil servants hiding in the corners were trembling and did not dare to come forward to speak. When several of them wanted to go forward, they were killed by the palace.

The guard kicked him mercilessly a few times and fell to the ground groaning in pain...

In less than half an hour, crisp gunfire rang out outside the hall, and dozens of palace guards rushed into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the enemy troops are coming. I will escort you to evacuate Huangzhou City..."

Zhang Xianzhong, with a desolate look on his face, finally stood up and spoke to many palace guards and officers.

"You remember, if I cannot withdraw, you must leave Huangzhou Fucheng with all your might, tell Sun Kewang, let him avenge me, and let him lead the Great Western Army to continue fighting..."

"boom..."

The door of the main hall was knocked open, and countless bullets were shot in. Many palace guards were divided into two groups. One group resisted the sergeants of Denglai's New Army who were about to rush in, and the other group pounced on Zhang Xianzhong, blocking the bullets with their bodies...

"Bah, bah, bah..."
