A group of Zhou Zheng's subordinates talked about siege methods, conspiracy, conspiracy, and even some means that could not be put on the table.

Zhou Zheng looked at it and nodded secretly, no matter if it was useful or not, he would use it all.

With Zhou Zheng's actions here, sure enough, the people of Dengzhou City were panicked, blocking leaks everywhere, and with the cannons above their heads, it seemed that the officials and troops outside the city were attacking at any time. The rebels up and down the city of Dengzhou were all flustered and panicked.

Zhou Zheng's army, on the other hand, recuperated and waited for a full-scale siege two days later.

The next night, Zhou Zheng, Shangguan Qing, and Cao Bianjiao were eating, chatting while looking at the direction of Dengzhou City.

Cao Bianjiao bit the steamed bun and said: "My lord, General Jin sent a letter, saying that they have basically cleared out the rebels in other parts of Dengzhou Mansion, and will arrive at Dengzhou Mansion on time to join us. ”

Zhou Zheng took a sip of water and said, "They should be afraid that I will be defeated and frustrate the morale of the officials and soldiers." ”

Cao Bianjiao looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "The last general also thinks the same, Zhu Shilang seeks stability, has been fighting steadily, and has a lot of complaints about the adult's rashness. If the city is forcibly attacked the day after tomorrow, even if it is captured, I am afraid that Zhu Shilang's side will not be happy. ”

Zhu Shilang, that is, Zhu Dadian, he supervised and discussed Kong Youde's army, and he hung the rank of squire of the military department.

Zhou Zheng understood what Cao Bianjiao meant, and said: "I know, I also have my plans, if tomorrow goes well, wait another year to boil up your qualifications, you can't run away as a deputy general soldier." ”

Cao Bianjiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The last general is not worried about his own future, but worried about adults." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Zhou Zheng is in the imperial court, in fact, it is still a state of 'intolerance', the court is full of people he once offended, not to mention that he squeezed in, even if he reveals this meaning, I don't know how many people will turn over old accounts and impeach him madly.

Cao Bianjiao saw that Zhou Zheng had an idea, so he didn't say much, took a sip of soup, and suddenly said: "By the way, my lord, I heard the news that my uncle has won a complete victory in Shaanxi to suppress bandits, and most of the bandits in Shaanxi have been eliminated, and success is just around the corner." ”

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, and slowly tore the steamed buns in his hand.

The reason why Shaanxi was able to pacify is that Cao Wenzhao is indeed capable of exterminating more than a dozen bandits who claim to be kings; Second, some of these bandits gathered in Shanxi, such as Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and others, who attacked the city in Shanxi, and the governor of Xuanda could only send troops to resist and was unable to eliminate them.

Zhou Zheng knew that the Northwest Rebellion would not be easily extinguished, but would become more and more intense.

Cao Bianjiao said something again, and went to leave after eating, although they were engaged in exhausting enemy tactics, they also wanted to prevent Kong Youde and others from going out of the city again.

After Cao Bianjiao left, Shangguan Qing simply cleaned up, sat next to Zhou Zheng, looked at his side face, and said softly: "You are so eager to grab this first credit, do you have any other plans?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked up at Dengzhou City, turned to the northeast direction, and said as if to himself: "The governor of Denglai is under the governor of Shandong, and he is in charge of the two prefectures of Denglai, and Dengzhou Town and Dongjiang Town are all under the control ......of the governor of Denglai."

Dengzhou Town, that is, Denglai and two prefectures; Dongjiang Town is the Korean Peninsula that Mao Wenlong was in charge of in the past and the Liaodong Peninsula, which has lost control.

Shangguan Qing has followed Zhou Zheng for many years, and he has studied it carefully before coming, listening to Zhou Zheng's words, Qingli blinked her eyes and said, "Do you want to be the governor of Denglai?" ”

Zhou Zheng stood up, looked in the direction of Dongjiang Town, and said: "Jianyu has always been the biggest threat to my Ming Dynasty, and if Jianyu is not eliminated, I feel uneasy." ”

Shangguan Qing stood beside him, hummed softly, and pursed his lips and smiled.

Zhou Zheng clicked these two sentences, didn't say anything more, and began to inspect the barracks.

Zhou Zheng and Kong Youde's two armies, with the passage of time, the morale of the two armies is one and the other.

Zhou Zheng's scheduled siege time soon came, and early in the morning, Zhou Zheng's soldiers were on standby, looking at Dengzhou City from a distance.

Kong Youde and the others also seemed to feel the atmosphere of the war, and the city was full of soldiers.

Geng Zhongming looked at Zhou Zheng's awe-inspiring army and said with some puzzlement: "Does Zhou Zhengyun plan to use his 15,000 men to attack the city?" ”

Chen Jiucheng was a little more thoughtful, his expression moved slightly, and said: "Zhu Dadian's reinforcements should arrive tonight, Zhou Zhengyun is preparing to attack the city now, does it mean that Zhu Dadian will arrive in advance?" ”

Chen Jiucheng's voice fell, and everyone's expressions changed in unison.

Kong Youde was a little calmer, and said indifferently: "There is no news for the time being, it is not ruled out that Zhou Zhengyun is suspicious and will defend the city, and he will know soon." ”

When everyone heard this, it was the same truth. Regardless of whether Zhu Dadian's reinforcements arrived or not, they could only defend the city.

Kong Youde glanced at everyone, but his heart was extremely heavy. Zhou Zheng only has 15,000 people, unless he is crazy, he will not attack, that can only mean that reinforcements have come!

He looked at Chen Jiucheng quietly, and Chen Jiucheng nodded darkly.

Kong Youde then turned his gaze to the outside of the city and looked at Zhou Zhengjun's formation.

He didn't know much about Zhou Zheng, only that he was the second son of Zhou Qingli, a former household servant, and participated in the defense of the capital and last year's Youtun War.

Kong Youde fantasized in his heart that in case, in case Zhou was just bluffing.

Zhou Zheng stood behind the army at this time, looked at the flags on both sides, and then looked at the head of Dengzhou City, waited silently for a while, and estimated the time.

"Siege!"

Suddenly, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Cao Bianjiao, He Kegang, Zhang Cunren and others took the lead and took the lead in rushing towards the head of Dengzhou City.

Zhou Zheng's army of 15,000 people poured out of the nest and attacked Dengzhou City like a tide.

Thirty artillery pieces opened fire in succession, and concentrated artillery bombardment of the city.

Geng Zhongming, Chen Sometimes, Chen Dacheng and others shouted and ran around the city.

The officers and troops are menacing, even if they are large in number and have a strong city, they do not dare to take it lightly.

The artillery on the city of Dengzhou was firing fiercely, and arrows, stones, and fire oil were pouring down wildly.

Above the city, the fierce fighting quickly began, the shouts of killing moved the sky, and the sound of the handover of swords and soldiers was piercing.

boom

With a loud bang, the huge gate of Dengzhou City was blown open, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the inside and outside of the city gate.

Kong Youde and the others on the city tower were shocked when they heard this, and their faces changed drastically.

"Stop them for me!" Geng Zhongming roared.

The gate was blown open, and the officers and soldiers were able to rush in.

Sometimes, Chen Dacheng and others immediately went downstairs and led people to block the city gate.

Cao Bianjiao, He Kegang and others took the lead, rushed into the city gate, roared angrily, and boosted morale.

Kong Youde looked in the direction behind Zhou Zheng, saw that there were no reinforcements, his teeth grinded, and said in a deep voice: "Geng Zhongming, they have no reinforcements!" Kill me back and destroy Zhou Zhengyun! ”

Geng Zhongming woke up violently and said loudly: "Okay! ”

The rebels seemed to react, and their sluggish momentum grew, and they began to fight back.

Zhou Zheng stood behind the army, his binoculars staring at the city gate.

Shangguan Qing stood beside him, glanced behind him, and said softly, "It's time to come." ”

Shangguan Qing's voice fell, and he saw flags erected from a distance.

Jin Guoqi has arrived!
