With a loud bang, the gate of the Jiannu palace was blown open. Facing the swarming Ming army and the Japanese allied forces, the Jiannu people were not afraid. Instead, they relied on the palace-style buildings to fight desperately with Tang Tong's men.
Speaking of which, these Jiannu people had to fight to the death. The people living in the palace were Huang Taiji's concubines. If anything happened to them, all the Jiannu soldiers in Shengjing City would be executed along with their entire clans. In this situation, these Jiannu soldiers had no choice but to fight to the death. In addition, the Jiannu people were very brave, so Tang Tong and his men's attack progressed very slowly.
"Hurry, hurry up and follow me, Yuka Oshima, your team must work harder for me. If you can break through this gap, I will give you a promotion. Also, Li, bring your firepower to me. I don't believe that we can't kill these bastards." Zhang Yiheng shouted loudly, commanding his men to intensify the attack.
"Hey, sir, listen up to me, people from the 103rd Independent Squadron, work harder and clear this intersection. Sir Zhang said there will be a huge reward." Oshima Yuga shouted loudly, the knife in his hand flying up and down, driving his men forward. Although it was the first time for those Japanese allied troops to encounter such a powerful opponent, they were all in high spirits because they had the support of the Ming Dynasty musket team behind them, and they bravely moved forward amid Oshima Yuga's shouts.
The one who was ordered by Zhang Yiheng also responded and brought his men close to the Japanese auxiliary troops in front, providing them with the greatest firepower support.
Seeing that the progress was slow, Tang Tong couldn't help but frown. Although the other side had no reinforcements for the time being, seeing that the street fighting had become a stalemate, the losses on his side would be heavy. Although Tang Tong's soldiers suffered few casualties, the casualties of the Japanese auxiliary troops he brought with him were quite serious.
Although Tang Tong did not hate the Japanese, he still had some feelings for them because they listened to him, were loyal to him and fought for him. It was like a person raising a dog. If the dog was very obedient, people would probably have some love for it.
The Japanese auxiliary troops are generally good, unlike the Koreans. Although they are obedient, most of them are cowardly and useless on the battlefield. Unlike the Japanese, they are born with bestiality. After a little training, they perform very well on the battlefield, which to a certain extent makes up for the shortage of soldiers under Tang Tong.
In general, Tang Tong would let his subordinates command the battle scene. This was also to cultivate his subordinates' ability to command the battle as soon as possible. Now among Tang Tong's subordinates, Zhang Yiheng's command ability was the best. The current battle was not progressing fast, not because Zhang Yiheng's command was weak, but because Tang Tong had too few combatants.
At this time, Tang Tong also picked up a gun to block the attack. Anyone who looked like a Jiannu leader would be killed by Tang Tong as soon as possible. After killing those commanding leaders, the Jiannu people began to fight on their own, and their overall combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so Tang Tong's men advanced much faster.
Seeing that they had occupied most of the palace, Tang Tong couldn't help but relax a little. Unexpectedly, a soldier guarding the palace gate ran over and said, "Report, Lord Tang, the situation outside the palace is a little strange. I don't know what happened to those improvised teams, but most of them have collapsed."
"What? Come on, Yang Qi, take your men with me to take a look." After Tang Tong was slightly stunned, he ordered the army with flags to go with him to the outside of the palace to see the situation.
After Tang Tong led a flag team out of the palace, he captured a few people from the temporary team composed of Han slaves who had not dispersed and asked them. He found out that the Jiannu people in the palace had opened a secret passage from another place and escaped from the palace. Not only did these temporary teams of slaves patrolling outside the palace not stop them, but they fled in a swarm.
Including the Japanese allied troops, the number of people Tang Tong brought with him to attack Shengjing this time was less than 5,000. Using 5,000 people to attack the capital of the Jiannu people was quite crazy. Because the troops were too small, except for the elimination of 1,300 to 1,400 Jiannu soldiers when fighting for the city gate, the rest of the time they basically just defeated the Jiannu troops, and the blow to the Jiannu people was not too great.
When Tang Tong attacked the Jiannu palace, most of his men were in the city eliminating the rebels among the Jiannu people. Therefore, there were not enough people to attack the Jiannu palace. In this situation, Tang Tong could only use the Han slaves who had just been armed. As a result, these people had great fear of the Jiannu people. After Tang Tong broke through the palace, the remaining Jiannu people took the concubines in the palace and evacuated from another secret door in the tunnel.
