At this time, the besieging army was almost cultivated, and they tried to attack the city. The siege here is not really an attack on Zhengzhou City, but a variety of attacks to consume the materials of Dengzhou City. At the same time, it also plays a role in military training. The soldiers will not be slackened by the siege.

You must know that the siege is the most taboo and stuffy. Once the two sides are separated by the city wall, you stare at me, and I stare at you, the first to relax is definitely the besieging soldiers. And once the army is relaxed, it will take a long period of training to restore their combat capability. Therefore, it is necessary to act from time to time and make the appearance of attacking Dengzhou City.

And although the rebels in Dengzhou City knew that the Ming army was acting like a show, they didn't dare to take it lightly! Because every attack of the Ming army will be converted into a real attack at any time! Once the Ming army was allowed to climb to the top of the city and gain a firm foothold, it was a matter of time before the city was broken. Therefore, every one or two days or three or four days outside Dengzhou, a large-scale siege will be launched from time to time.

As for the artillery, it never stopped. It's just that sometimes it's a little bit denser all of a sudden. Sometimes it's just piecemeal. In short, it is not to let the rebels in Dengzhou City be quiet. It is to constantly mobilize them, fatigue them, and consume their supplies.

In the same way, it is impossible for the soldiers in the city to stay in the city forever. That would have caused their morale to drop terribly. You know, brain supplementation is the most powerful function of human beings. After waiting for a long time in the encirclement, I made up for the scene of being surrounded and killed by others, and it didn't take long for me to lose morale and collapse. Therefore, the rebels in the city will often go out of the city to fight.

And the military discipline in the city will be stricter at this time! There will definitely be no self-pity for the soldiers gathered together. The most important thing is that they also have to prevent the sneak attack of the Ming army outside the city, so they must be strict. For example, at that time, he ordered that no one other than the Liao people was allowed to walk on the Qulu Road in the city, and those who violated it were beheaded! In addition, each battlement of the city wall is defended by five people at night, and the arrows are passed on in rotation. From time to time, he also sent people to night patrols outside the city.

The meaning of the arrow guard is to send an arrow from one end of the city wall by an officer. One soldier passes from one soldier to another, and then in turn it is passed down. All the way through the entire city wall.

This would ensure that no one could sleep on the walls. With the record at the time: one arrow passed, the second arrow followed, and no one dared to sleep!

And at that time, there were more than 30 red-coated cannons in the city, which was very powerful! Therefore, Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde and others often led troops to fight against each other. They fought repeatedly with the Ming army within the support of the red-coated artillery, and both sides won and lost.

However, this provides Liu Pei with a good opportunity to brush up his record. Because his men are all long-range firecrackers. They could stand out of the cannon at the head of the city and shoot the rebels with their carts. So Liu Pei often led the army to battle.

But the rebels are not fools either. They found that they still had a chance to win against other battalion leaders. But once he fought with Liu Pei, he basically suffered heavy casualties every time. So in the future, when Liu Pei challenges outside the city, they won't fight!

However, how could the other generals let go of such a good opportunity, they begged Liu Pei to mix the soldiers in their ranks and lure the rebels in the city to fight out of the city. As a result, the rebels suffered several losses and did not show up much.

Therefore, since November, the two sides have inevitably fallen into a dull confrontation. However, in order to train his soldiers and familiarize them with siege warfare, Liu Pei used a number of firearms at the cost of veterans at the head of the Love Song battalion to participate in the siege of his team. And it is to use Dengzhou City as the target of contact.

Every time Liu Pei exercised an attack, he made many chariots in a decent manner, completely in accordance with the normal practice of attacking the city. It can even cause certain casualties!

His actions drew ridicule from the other generals, and some even told him that everyone in the city and outside the city knew that it was just an attack, and that there was no need to take it so seriously.

But Liu Pei still didn't play sloppy, and simply told them that this was just training. After this sentence spread, all the people who despised Liu Pei stopped saying anything. Even those who think that Liu Pei is lucky to hold the Chinese army no longer say such things. An army that is training anytime and anywhere is definitely qualified to be an ace.

And there is one thing that Liu Pei didn't say, and there is no way to say it. It's Liu Pei who knows that he is

Later, he had to face an unknown number of cities to attack, and even the cities of the Ming army were among the targets. Then now a few soldiers with dead and wounded soldiers can gain a lot of experience. It is much better than summing up the experience of a large number of dead and wounded soldiers in the future!

Before today's siege, Liu Pei had already attacked the city several times. During the first few sieges, the rebels in the city were like facing a great enemy! Fight Liu Pei seriously. A large number of soldiers were sent to the city walls, the oil pans were burned, and all kinds of equipment were activated. However, Liu Pei attacked too many times, and the rebels in the city were also a little slack.

Because they found that this different Ming army was just training. As soon as they have a small number of casualties, they will slowly retreat. Nothing dangerous. It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable to be used as a target for practice.

This offensive began again. The soldiers pushed the thickened carts forward at a slow pace. And Liu Pei gathered all the artillery he could borrow together and bombarded Dengzhou City! For a while, the dense cannon fire was in one piece! The sound of artillery shook the mountains, and the walls of the city trembled as they were hit by the shells!

Just looking at the artillery formation, it is really besieging the city! But the rebel soldiers at the head of the city were tired of the trick. Because every time Liu Pei attacked, he would gather the artillery together and bombard it into a head, so as to cover the infantry attack. But the last two times they just attacked the city, erected the ladder and the hook ladder, and then threw these things down and retreated! So the city didn't take this attack seriously from top to bottom. Even the red-coated cannon was placed indiscriminately for a while.

But in reality, this attack was different. Because Liu Pei is determined to really attack once!

Liu Pei has repeatedly calculated that his side has an absolute advantage in firepower. As long as you gain a foothold on the city, you can suppress the rebels and form a foothold. At that time, the Ming army under the city will naturally rush over in order to grab the credit. When the time comes, it will be easy to break the city. So after Liu Pei greeted him, all the Ming troops secretly prepared.

The carts pushed by the soldiers were different from the previous ones. Because Liu Pei had sufficient time to prepare, he took the trouble to see that all the cars were repaired into two floors.
