0869 Podeng State
The sight of the fleet on sail cannot be hidden. In order to prevent the ships from colliding with each other, each ship is brightly lit and can be seen from a distance. Therefore, as soon as the Dengzhou Navy Division came out of the camp, it was seen by the soldiers who were watching from the dirt mountain.
When Zhu Dadian and the generals climbed to the dirt mountain, a large number of ships from the Zhengzhou Navy Battalion were leaving the port. For a while, the sea was brightly lit, as bright as day!
Zhu Dadian said with emotion: "These rebels are going to escape!" The city will be broken in two or three days! From tomorrow, all the generals will take turns to attack Dengzhou City, and there must be no mistake! ”
Naturally, everyone bowed down and agreed. Soon after Liu Pei returned to the camp, six carrier pigeons flew out of the camp and ran in two directions. These carrier pigeons were specially sent by Liu Pei to the liaison fleet. At this time, Liu Pei's fleet has been waiting in the open sea for a long time!
In the past, the Jin army couldn't cast cannons, so they couldn't conquer slightly larger cities. And after Kong Youde surrendered to Houjin, the biggest change brought to the Houjin army was the ability to cast and use cannons! Since then, the Houjin army has had the real strength to attack cities and seize land.
Since Liu Pei knew that after Kong Youde surrendered, Empress Jin would cause unparalleled damage to Daming, how could he let him escape in vain?
In normal history, Kong Youde fled Dengzhou on February 13. And Liu Pei had already transferred the fleet back in mid-January. for fear that because of his appearance, Kong Youde would flee in advance. But things have changed. Today is February 9th, and Kong Youde has already organized a fleet to go to sea. That's four days ahead of history!
As soon as the day dawned, the armies of the various battalions left the camp together and began to attack Dengzhou City in turn. Liu Pei didn't want to lose too much manpower, just like Zhu Dadian said, saying that there were many people under him who used firearms, and they could suppress firepower all day, which was better than archers. So he does not participate in the siege, but can provide long-range fire suppression for everyone!
As soon as Liu Pei said this, the generals of each battalion were also willing to have someone behind the back to suppress the city. Therefore, the people who promised Liu Pei did not have to participate in the siege, and only used the fire gun to cover.
Under the city of Dengzhou, it was already the sound of war drums at this time! Groups of Ming troops pushed carts and ladders, shouting and rushing to Dengzhou City! Behind them was Liu Pei's firecrackers. Liu Pei divided all the firecrackers into two teams and took turns to attack, and the firepower provided to the Ming army was very well suppressed!
In the roar of artillery fire, Dengzhou City was climbed to the head of the city by the Ming army several times! Although they were all beaten back by Geng Zhongming and Mao Chenglu in the end, everyone was confident that they would break the city within two days! Because through a one-day siege, it can be seen that most of the rebel soldiers did not work hard, only because of the bullet pressure of Geng Zhongming and Mao Chenglu, and the fear of the slaughter of the Ming army after entering the city, they did not fight very hard. If it weren't for the tall city of Dengzhou City and sufficient equipment, I'm afraid it would have broken the city today!
That night, when everyone was fighting in Zhu Dadian to discuss the war situation, Liu Pei said: "Today, I observed that most of the rebels had no fighting spirit, but someone had to contribute to supervise the battle in the back!" Why don't you send someone to the edge of the city tonight and shout that it is to pardon the capital crimes of ordinary soldiers, maybe it will be easier to attack the city tomorrow! ”
When Zhu Dadian heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he sent a high-pitched soldier to the city and shouted: "Ordinary rebel soldiers can be exempted from capital crimes!" Culling rebel officers is meritorious! ”
The high-pitched shouts spread far away in the silent night, and they easily spread into Dengzhou City, even Geng Zhongming and the others heard it!
The faces of these two people changed at that time! Geng Zhongming said to Mao Chenglu: "Brother Mao, I'm afraid this Dengzhou City can't be defended!" I estimate that the Ming army will attack the city early tomorrow morning, and you and I should not be separated at that time. If you can stop the Ming army, you can block it, and if you can't stop it, we will just get on the boat and escape! ”
Mao Chenglu naturally agreed without a mouth! After dawn, the two went up to the city wall to resist the attack of the Ming army. But the two of them were looked at by the rebel soldiers, and their hearts were furious! As the so-called suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts! Now these two look like they're going to kill them!
Geng Zhongming whispered to Mao Chenglu: "Now I'm panicking!" It's really not good, let's stay until night and then board the ship and go to sea, right? ”
Mao Chenglu, who was also frightened, immediately agreed. By the end of the night, the two of them couldn't hold on anymore. The two hurried to the camp of the sailors, took their cronies and left by boat.
As soon as their ship started, they were seen by the Ming soldiers who were watching. Immediately notified to the officer at the higher level. Then he reported to Zhu Dadian one by one. Zhu Dadian said suspiciously: "Why are there still people who escape?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Dadian suddenly said excitedly: "Could it be that the group of people after the break began to run away?" ”
Everyone speculated about the reason, and they all felt that the person in charge of the broken queen also fled. Zhu Dadian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Generals, hurry up and attack Dengzhou City overnight!" The city will be breached tonight! ”
The generals also felt that tonight was a good time to break the city, and immediately ordered troops and horses to rush towards Dengzhou Cheng. At this time, there was already chaos in Dengzhou City! Rumors and rumors everywhere that the rebel leaders fled, leaving us people to confess! So there weren't many people defending the city at all.
Liu Guozhu felt that the opportunity was rare, so he personally put on his armor, held a shield and a knife, and was the first to step on the ladder! After avoiding more than a dozen arrows, Liu Guozhu took the lead in stepping on the city!
As soon as he reached the city, he killed one of them, and the rest of the rebel soldiers scattered! Immediately, a large number of Ming troops poured into the city and rushed to the city gate under the leadership of Liu Guozhu. And other generals have also taken to the city! The city's defenses were very empty. It's basically a touch-and-tear look.
Liu Guozhu led people to kill the rebel soldiers at the city gate and opened the city gate directly! The Ming army outside cheered and swarmed in. At this point, Dengzhou City is broken!
The Ming soldiers at the head of each battalion rushed into the city, but Liu Pei did not let the soldiers follow the Ming army into the city. Because he knew that there was nothing good in Dengzhou City at this time. Because when Kong Youde left, he basically took all the valuable things with him.
In fact, just as Liu Pei guessed, not only did there be no gold and silver money in the city, but even the small amount of grain was almost looted by Kong Youde. The soldiers under the generals of various routes are not strict in military discipline, and they are also counting on entering Dengzhou City to make a fortune. But they found that there was nothing good, so they fought for what they had.
Overnight, there were dozens of fights on all sides, and more than a dozen lives were lost! This is still due to the desperate pressure of the generals from all walks of life. Otherwise, these Ming soldiers might have to fight in Dengzhou City!
