Three quarters in the morning, Xi'an City.

Today's atmosphere is excellent, the bustling sunshine is sprinkled all over the earth, and the whole Xi'an city is shrouded in the warm spring sunshine

The temperature is neither cold nor hot, and there is a slight southeast wind blowing through, which makes people unconsciously feel refreshed.

"Hahaha! Red Lady, let's try again with our two legions today to see who can climb the city first! ”

In the big camp outside the city, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Hao Shaoqi laughed very proudly, and smiled at Hong'er, the commander of the Broken Army Legion, who was sitting not far from his right.

There was no way he could not be upset.

Because of his greedy wolf legion, what he advocates is the kind of straight and open and close style of play.

And in a series of battles of this type of sweep, this kind of dispatch will undoubtedly achieve the greatest results.

This is mainly because the enemy is too weak, he has been attacking countless cities for more than a month, and he has not encountered a united enemy, after the army is swept away, the rebel soldiers will be drizzle, not worth mentioning.

"Hao Shaoqi, don't be complacent."

Hong'er looked at this big old man with disdain, "This Xi'an city is surrounded by a wide and deep city river, and there is a suspension bridge that can rise and fall at any time at the city gate. As soon as the drawbridge was raised, access to and from the city was cut off. ”

"This is an unprecedented megacity that our two legions have captured so far, and it is almost the same difficulty no matter which side it attacks from."

"Am I not in a hurry?"

Hao Shaoqi rolled his eyes at Hong'er.

I don't know why, he always looks at this calm Hong'er, and he is not happy to look at it.

Moreover, Hong'er's martial arts are getting more and more powerful, Hao Shaoqi was able to fight with her three months ago, and now he can resist at most fifty rounds before he will be defeated by Hong'er.

This girl, after being strengthened three times by His Majesty the Emperor, has actually undergone a qualitative change!

It's not that Hao Shaoqi's strength is not as big as Hong'er.

In terms of strength, he still has to surpass Hong'er, a female streamer.

The main reason is that her attack speed is too fast, and as soon as the bright silver spear comes out, it is dazzling, and she can't tell where the virtual and the real are.

"This time, I'm not going to fight with you."

The old god Hong'er said, "Now it's business." ”

"Hao Shaoqi, you also know that the ancient capital of Xi'an is left in the entire Shaanxi, which is not under our control."

Hong'er's expression was serious, "Your Majesty has sent a letter, this ancient capital, except for the area of the city gate that can be bombarded with cannons to break the city, the main buildings in the city are not allowed to be destroyed. ”

"Even if we renovate the old city of Xi'an after we occupy it, we must retain the main buildings as much as possible, and at most renovate them, and do not allow reconstruction."

"This is because the gate of this ancient capital needs to be rebuilt, widened and reinforced, otherwise, if you want to blow up the city gate, you don't want to think about it."

"Well, Hao Shaoqi, how are you going to break the city?"

What's this?

If I know what to do, I still need to ask you?

Hao Shaoqi was complaining frantically in his heart, but he would not admit that he commanded the battle, and he was not as good as this female general.

"What else can I do?"

His big eyes glared: "Looking at the current situation, you can know that the traitors in Xi'an City will never surrender." ”

"Anyway, their surrender is also the end of being exterminated, so it's better to give it a go!"

His black eyes rolled, and his eyes lit up, "If you want me, follow Li Dingguo's model, just like the Shanhaiguan time." ”

"In the early morning of tomorrow, attack directly, first blast the city gate with artillery, and the army will rush, isn't it!"

"We have an army of 120,000 here, and there are 120 new Franco cannons! Not to mention twenty more super cannons! ”

"With so many cannons, what city gate can't be broken? What city can't be beaten? ”

Hey?

Hong'er looked at Hao Shaoqi with some surprise.

She didn't expect that this guy would really come up with a wave of siege routines.

I have to, this simplest siege mode is the best siege method at present, simple and effective.

Other methods, such as digging tunnels and burying explosive packets, are far less effective and direct than Hao Shaoqi's method.

The two men quickly reached an agreement: the attack would be launched in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and the two armies would attack simultaneously from the north and south gates.

Before the army charged, the two city gates were bombarded with ten +3 super cannons, and then the logistics engineers immediately built an improvised pontoon bridge with large planks and cables, and the army crossed the moat and attacked Xi'an in one fell swoop.

Anyway, those twenty +3 super cannons, don't worry about wasting ammunition, don't use them in vain.

The other 120 new Furlong cannons were not needed this time.

First, it is to avoid the destruction of the main buildings in the ancient capital of Xi'an, and second, to avoid wasting shells.

The current logistics soldiers of the army are already very proficient in business, and they have built several temporary pontoon bridges, and they don't even need time for half incense.

With the cover of a large number of musketeers and crossbowmen, those officers and soldiers who were bombarded by artillery and talked stupidly about the rebels would not do any harm to the logistics troops.

After all, these logistics engineers have been following the actions of various divisions and regiments, and they don't know how many large and medium-sized pontoon bridges they have built along the way, and they are extremely proficient in business.

Soon after, after the discussion was over, they dispersed and returned to the camp to prepare for nothing.

Hao Shaoqi explained that Lu Shuquan, the deputy commander of the Greedy Wolf Legion beside him, was responsible for everything, and he had nothing to do, Shi Shiran walked out of the Chinese army camp, climbed onto the high command platform in the middle of the colonel, and looked in all directions.

This look, the eyes are even more proud.

Indeed, anyone who sees that more than 8 million Rao construction team workers have gathered in all directions of Xi'an City will be frightened!

Why, so many construction brigade migrant workers gathered here, or because of the will of His Majesty the Emperor.

After the army set out, Zhu Youxiao sent a secret decree with a big golden eagle: The most important purpose of the battle to recover and control Shanxi and Shaanxi is not to seize the territory of Shaanxi, but to help the people in Shaanxi and Shanxi with all their might.

Historically, the great peasant uprising began a year later in Shaanxi.

Since then, the peasant uprising has intensified, and gradually become a fire of the prairie fire, more than ten years later, a huge Ming Empire, burned and buried in one fell swoop, and disappeared in the rolling torrent of history

Zhu Youxiao will not just look at it like this, his main purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity to grab territory on a large scale to extinguish the signs of peasant uprising in the northwest with a downpour.

When Shaanxi was in the eighth year of Qiqi, it was a province with a large population, and compared with Henan, the most populous province in the Central Plains next door, there were not many people.

Moreover, the people of Shaanxi are fierce, and the famous old Qin people have lived in Zheng, Shaanxi since ancient times

These are rare and excellent places to fight.

Since I have come to this era, I can't let this Shaanxi develop like history.

Changing one's life is the mission of the traverser, and he Zhu Youxiao is duty-bound.

His current strength and background are limited, and he can't pocket the entire Ming Empire in one fell swoop, and he can't prevent the peasant uprising.

But, in any case, the peasant uprising must not appear in the area under his control.

In the near future, the great peasant uprising, since it is destined to break out, let it break out in those Jiangnan areas!

In the Jiangnan area, due to Emperor Gao's distance, the people here have no sense of belonging and awe to the Ming court.

For many years, the Jiangnan region was nominally an area ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, here, those great families and civil and military officials who have been passed down from generation to generation, and various wealthy businessmen, are the rulers and masters of the Jiangnan region.

Even the national taxes, except for those necessary imperial grains, other taxes are almost nothing in the hands of the emperor

And because the Jiangnan region has developed commerce, the climate is pleasant, and all kinds of materials and money and food are very rich, even those ordinary people are exploited and oppressed by wealthy families and civil and military officials, and they can barely survive.

Therefore, this situation will be very unfavorable to Zhu Youxiao's rule in the future.

Only by going with the flow and letting the vast Jiangnan region break out in a large number of peasant uprisings can we break the established pattern here.

Only by making those ordinary people lose their faith in the wealthy families and local tyrants and inferior gentry can the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River be returned to the imperial court.

In the next few years, the peasant uprisings in the Jiangnan area will continue, igniting the anger of the general public against those rich and unkind scholars, local tyrants, inferior gentry, and big families, which is the situation that Zhu Youxiao is most looking forward to.

Otherwise, he would never have sent troops to recover and control these Jiangnan regions.

The vast number of people in Jiangnan who do not experience hardships will be dispensable in the future to help the Ming Empire.

Without experiencing the great peasant uprisings again and again, these people who are dedicated to the wealthy families and have no gratitude to the Ming Empire, Zhu Youxiao is not a bodhisattva who saves the suffering.

The fragmentation and reorganization of the vast Jiangnan region is a painful stage that must be experienced, and it is the premise for the rebirth of this vast region.
