"Let's give!"

Zhu Chongba gently spit out two words, and thousands of prisoners suddenly fell silent and looked at him directly.

"Our name is Zhu Chongba!" Zhu Chongba laughed loudly, "Huaixi people, born in poverty, are doing the business of killing officials and rebelling, and Jiaozhou City was brought down by us with 30,000 brothers." ”

"I've heard of you, you're so famous over there in Huaixi!" One of the prisoners spoke, "We also heard that you attacked the city in Huaixi and killed countless Yuan troops, you are a hero!" ”

I didn't expect that we have such a big reputation in Shandong.

Zhu Chongba smiled and continued to say loudly, "Now, we have come to Shandong, we have brought 30,000 brothers who were born and died in Huaixi with us, and killed the Yuan army.

Let's kill the Yuan army in Shandong, kill the corrupt officials, kill this dog's day, and don't let us eat and dress the court. ”

As he spoke, he waved his big hand, "Lift it up!" ”

In the eyes of thousands of prisoners, several pro-soldiers struggled to carry a large box and put it at Zhu Chongba's feet.

Cang, the treasure knife is out of the sheath.

Zhu Chongba slashed down, and with a click, the box was directly split in half.

Hula, under the light of the torches, the brilliant light of gold, silver and gems bloomed at once, almost blinding people's eyes.

The air was filled with heavy breathing, greedy heartbeats, and the sound of spitting.

"It's a good man, he wants to drink wine and eat meat, and he will share the money, so let's do it!" Zhu Chongba shouted loudly, "Follow us to kill officials and rebel, and kill those landlords who are rich and unkind." Willing to do it, speak! ”

"I'm coming!" A man raised his hand.

"Damn, we were originally anti-donation and anti-tax, afraid of a bird!"

"It's done! Done! ”

The shouts of thousands of prisoners, Zhu Chong laughed loudly.

"Prepare wine and meat for the brothers, and prepare clothes!" Zhu Chongba laughed and said, "Hit Laizhou, let these brothers be pioneers!" ”

～～～

Huge warships, upriver on the Yangtze River, dense warships, as well as troop carriers, grain and grass heavy ships in sight.

The black pressure is daunting.

The river breeze was cold, blowing Guo Xing's cloak whirring.

In this attack on Jiangxi, Zhu Wu gave Guo Xing 60,000 troops, in addition to the headquarters of Haozhou, there were nearly two-thirds of the naval gunboats, the firearms troops of the Han Dynasty's personal guard of the Chinese army, and the 6,000 cavalry ordered by Lan Yushuai.

This is the first time that Zhu Wu has given such a big right to his subordinate generals.

Guo Xing recruited envoys for the Han Dynasty and controlled the generals of the army.

The river crashed against the edge of the boat, making a dull sound. The green mountains and green waters on both sides of the strait slowly turn into reflections.

Guo Xing stood on the bow of the Dadu, looked at the scenery along the coast, and slowly found a purse in the ironclad heart guard.

At this time, Guo Xing did not look like a general, but looked like a young man who was just beginning to fall in love.

The purse was sewn by the fat girl herself, and she made a wish in front of the Buddha to keep her safe.

When a man has a home, he has care, even if he is a prodigal son who crosses the world, as long as he has a home, his heart has a home.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps on the deck. Guo Xing hurriedly put the purse close to his body, and his face regained the majesty of a general.

In his ears, he couldn't help but say Zhu Wu's words before leaving.

"During the Han Dynasty, when Huo Qu was a teenager, he crisscrossed the desert and killed the Huns. The third brother, you have to be the fifth brother's Huo Quai! ”

"Three generals!"

The person who came was the son of Yu Tingyu, the deputy marshal of the navy, Yu Tonghai.

"Jiujiang is almost here!"

"How far?"

Yu Tonghai said respectfully, "There are still more than thirty miles to Jiujiang Port!" ”

Jiujiang is now under the control of the Yuan army, when the Meng Yuan crusaded against Xu Shouhui, who was the emperor, and transferred the Yuan army in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to besiege, Jiujiang was an important logistics point for them.

"Didn't encounter the warships of the Yuan army?" Guo Xing frowned and asked.

"The striker returns, and there are no warships on the river."

"It seems that the Yuan army is going to refuse to defend the city!"

Jiujiang Six Dynasties Town, according to the mouth of the three rivers, when the Qu of Sida, has been an important town in the south since ancient times.

At this time, the Jiujiang guard was the commander of the Mengyuan Privy Council, what kind of official was that, Guo Xing didn't understand, but he must be a big official.

But Meng Yuan's officials don't seem to be very easy to use, and the Yangtze River is outside the Jiujiang city wall, so they are not afraid of the Han army's artillery giants?

Or is he something to rely on?

In any case, in the first battle, we must play the prestige of the Han army.

"Herald!" Guo Xing said solemnly, "Wang Bi and Lan Yu, take their infantry artillery to disembark, advance along the way, feint to attack Ying'en Gate, and the rest of the army will attack along the river, Wangjing Gate!" ”

"No!"

The seven gates of Jiujiang, the specific map, were handed over to Guo Xing before the war.

Jiujiang City is built by the river. Outside the city gate is the river embankment, the river embankment is narrow and steep, and the road leading to the city gate is full of brick and stone steps, and the only way to attack the city is to attack from the back.

Ying'en Gate and Wangjing Gate are next to each other, and they can be connected in a line to support each other. Moreover, outside these two gates, there are large open spaces, so that the engineering equipment of the Han army has been deployed.

After the order was delivered, the fleet on the river began to move, and the troop carriers slowly approached the shallow water on the shore.

The troop carrier is very large, ten zhang long and six zhang wide, and is used to transport troops and materials.

It doesn't matter if there is no dock, the troop carriers put down the small boats hanging on the sides of the big ship, and connect them in a line from the boat to the shore.

Then the deck was laid, the iron anchors were sunk, and in a few hours a few rows of improvised pontoons were ready.

The soldiers on the ship disembarked one after another, carrying weapons on their backs, leading their horses, and horse-drawn artillery carts. The silent shore suddenly became noisy.

"Finally able to move my muscles!" Lan Yu arrived at the shore, took the war horse from the hands of his own soldiers, and shook his arm and said.

Now he is also a general, and he deliberately learned from Zhu Wu to grow a beard, for fear that others would look down on him.

Wang Bi also walked over with his arms flailed, "I don't want to take a boat, troublesome, or ride a horse!" ”

"I think so, too!" Lan Yu turned over and said with a smile, "If you want to talk about fighting, it's still the cavalry!" ”

"Cavalry, it's still good in the north, and it's all plains over there!" Wang Bi said with a smile.

"The further north you go, the better!" Lan Yu looked to the north, "One day, our Huaixi boys will go north on horseback, give the fifth brother's big man, and expand the territory!" ”

Wang Bi was leisurely fascinated.

"Herald!" Lan Yu instructed the soldiers around him, "Send two teams of cavalry as the vanguard of the headquarters to investigate the enemy's situation!" ”

"No!"

～～～～

"The Red Turban Thief is here!"

In Jiujiang City, the big camp of dehuan.

After getting rid of the Mongolian nobles, the ancestors fought in the south and north from Kublai Khan, and made great achievements.

Unlike those nobles who were raised, Tuohuan is fierce and good at fighting, and he is unparalleled in riding and shooting.

At this time, after listening to Tanma's return, he just smiled coldly, and his eyes were shining.

"It's a good time, I have long thought that I will meet Zhu Wu!"

This is the big tent of Dehuan, and the civil and military officials of Jiujiang are all there.

"I heard that it's the general under Zhu Wu's account, Guo Xing!" Hu Guangyi, the prefect of Jiujiang, opened his mouth and said, "This person is a friend of the general horn with the Zhu thief, and it is his handiwork to conquer Anqing, and the general should not take it lightly!" ”

"Humph! Yellow-mouthed children! Tuhuan said with a smile, "Now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jiujiang, and there is enough grain and grass, and grinding him will also grind him to death!" As he spoke, he said to the generals beside him, "Is the city gate blocked?" ”

"Back to the general, it's all blocked with mud and sandbags, even if they dig open the city gate, they can't get in!"

"Good!" Tuhuan stood up and laughed, "Gentlemen, follow me to kill thieves and serve the country!" ”

～～～

At the same time, Guo Xing, who was standing on the bow of the boat, also saw the towering Jiujiang city wall.

"Grandma's land, taller than Nanjing?" Guo Xing scolded with a smile.

"It's not high, it's dangerous!" Liao Yongan, the marshal of the naval army, stood on the side and said, "Since Jiujiang is built on the river, the defense is that the enemy comes up from the water, and the terrain is high, whether we are shelling or landing, we must fight from low to high!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled, "If there is no artillery, I don't know how many people will die in this Jiujiang City!" ”

"We don't just have artillery!" Guo Xing said with a smile, "Before I came, the fifth brother and Old Man Xi gave me a lot of good things!" ”

The benefits of the Han army's firearms are known to the world.

But what the world doesn't know is that the most powerful thing in the Han army is not firearms, but the all-round talent of science and engineering of Old Man Xi.

This time Guo Xing came to Jiangxi, in addition to the army, there were also old man Xi's sappers. Also, Old Man Xi and Zhu Wu cherished the new gadgets handed over to him.

On the city wall at this time, the civil and military officials of Tuhuan and Jiujiang also saw the fleet like black pressure and dark clouds on the river.

Tuhuan thought of a word, black clouds pressed the village.

The largest warship of the Han Army's naval division, taller than the city wall, looked chilling.

"No wonder Zhu Wu dared to be the king, no wonder he defeated the 600,000 army of the prime minister!"

Dehuan's face showed some solemnity.

And at the head of the city, the other civil and military officials had faces as white as earth.

"Report, a large number of anti-thieves have been found outside the city!"

The soldiers ran up the city wall and shouted a loud message.

The other officials were shocked, but Tuhuan looked at the warships on the river and was silent.

"He, Zhu Wu, how did he get to this point? He is a thief, how can he develop to this point? ”

～～～～

"All battleships, drop anchor!"

In the shouts of the soldiers of the Han army, the huge iron anchor sank into the Yangtze River.

Huge ships are standing on the Yangtze River, and their cold muzzles are aimed at the city wall.

"Eight hundred meters!"

"Three inches higher!"

"Full of medicine!"

On the deck of the Dadu gun, the gunners ran back and forth, shouting loudly, and one gun after another was loaded.

Guo Xing looked at the city, sneered and said a word, "Put!" ”

"Where are their boats parked, what are they doing?" At the head of the city, Tuhuan asked, "Why don't they come to the shore and let their troops and horses come down to attack the city?" ”

Bang!

The roar of artillery is the best answer.

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth changed color.

The station ships on the Yangtze River sprayed a merciless tongue of fire, and the projectiles roared.

Bang! Bang!

A few projectiles hit the city walls, and the bricks and stones shattered.

Heaven and earth were suddenly shrouded in thick smoke.

"General be careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

Tuo Huan scolded the soldiers who came to guard, and the warships on the river just now fired a salvo.

On the city wall of Jiujiang, several cracked craters suddenly appeared.

But the most shocking thing is still under the city walls.

There used to be many low-rise houses, which had been scorched by the artillery.
