Chapter 116: Breaking Chenzhou

Don't care about Yuan Shizhong's doubts.

Zhang Xuan put Cao Zongyu in charge of the brigade, and he himself took more than 100 cavalry from Luo Dai to the southeast of Chenzhou first.

As Zhang Xuan said before, Chenzhou is a square city.

Many castles are close to mountains and rivers, and when building city walls, rivers and mountains are taken into account. But Chenzhou is located in the great plain, surrounded by a horse and a flat river, some passed, but there is really no big mountain, so it is built up a neat and neat square city.

When Zhang Xuan came to the southeast, the first thing he saw was the low morale of Yuan Shi.

No one is stupid, Yuan Shizhong is sitting in the west of the city, and he can't manage it at all, so they are attacking the city in this matter, but it's just for show. There are not many casualties, after all, the small life is your own. Without the people above watching, they are naturally lazy, and these leaders are not easy to force.

It's tight, and I can't tell who will do it to him.

After all, these are troubled times, and it is very easy to kill a person, and who is expected to avenge you, no one cares about you except your relatives.

However, this look is exactly what Zhang Xuan wanted.

Zhang Xuan understood more and more that fighting a war is actually very simple, there are those who are prepared to fight unprepared, those who are well equipped to fight poorly equipped, those who are well fed and those who are not full of food, and the most important thing is that there are more people and fewer people, no matter how useless Yuan Shi is, these tens of thousands of heads, but they are not fake. Tens of thousands of people were besieged on all sides, and Chenzhou's troops were actually very nervous.

On the west city wall of Chenzhou.

"Sir, take a sip of water." An old pawn brought a bowl of water.

A red-faced man, with a beautiful beard and long beard, red phoenix eyes, holding a waist knife, just behind the female wall, looking at the banner under the city with dead eyes.

He is Suining Bingbei Guan Yongjie. Chongzhen four years of the top three jinshi. was valued by Yang Sichang and appointed as Suining's soldiers.

He has been in office for several years, Henan has never been peaceful, and he and Yuan Shizhong are also old rivals, but he never cared about Yuan Shizhong. Yuan Shizhong is just a defeated general, and he looks at today's situation, and if Yuan Shizhong is given more than ten days, he will not be able to capture Chenzhou.

He was worried about Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's reputation for overthrowing the king and killing the teacher has long been spread to the world. Although Guan Yongjie has not directly fought with Li Zicheng, Xiangcheng is not far south of Chenzhou, and Guan Yongjie knows more about the battle of Xiangcheng than others, so why don't you know that a mere Chenzhou City is not Li Zicheng's opponent.

What's more, it seems that Yuan Shizhong and Li Zicheng's righteous army have merged.

He subconsciously took the bowl of water, drank it all, and said, "How is the situation everywhere?" ”

The old pawn is Guan Yongjie's family, Guan Yongjie is from a military household, and there are hundreds of officials in the world

You can find two or three people who have been fighting. This man is an old pawn.

The old man said: "The old man guards the west gate, the old man of Zhizhou guards the north gate, Master Cui guards the east gate, and Wang Juren guards the south gate, I have seen them one by one, and the attack is the tightest, that is, the west gate and the north gate, and the east gate and the south gate are much more relaxed." As long as the old man is away from here, and the old man of Zhizhou is guarded, in the southeast direction, there should be no problem. ”

Guan Yongjie also knew that Chenzhou City was like this.

With years of drought and lack of people's strength, Guan Yongjie tried his best, but he just pulled Zhuang Ding to fill the city. Think more, and it's impossible.

It is also the soldiers at the head of the city who are rotten, and the besiegers under the city are also rotten, so they fight each other like this. If the elite of the camp came to attack, the city would not be able to stop it for a day or two. But what should Guan Yongjie do, he only sighed slightly, and took one step at a time.

He saw that the offensive on Xicheng's side had relaxed a little, and he was a little worried about other places, and said, "No, I want to patrol the city." ”

Guan Yongjie didn't dare to transfer the soldiers from Xicheng, so he ordered two or three brave men and followed him from the west of the city to the north of the city. Guan Yongjie didn't walk fast, and everywhere he went, he comforted the soldiers. As soon as he arrived at the north gate, he suddenly heard the sound of drums under the city, and countless soldiers rushed to the top of the city again.

"Here we go again." Guan Yongjie didn't care about anything else, he supervised the battle at the head of the city.

It's just that he didn't know that at this time, Zhang Xuan also launched.

South of the city.

Zhang Xuan watched for a long time, and finally chose the place to attack, not on the east city wall, but on the south city wall.

Just east of the south gate, the distance from the castle tower. The reason why Zhang Xuan chose this place was because he felt that the soldiers above the southern city were of the worst quality, and even the soldiers above the city could not be called soldiers, but just people's husbands.

Under Cao Zongyu's arrangement, Zhang Xuan's subordinates, one by one, were mixed in the middle of Yuan Shi.

Zhang Xuan gave an order, and Yuan Shizhong, the middle of the brigade, rushed towards the city with a long ladder, and Zhang Xuan's subordinates, either in a group, plus a gunner, rushed forward with a small cannon, or with a team of 100 people, gritted their teeth and prepared to enter the city.

The fifty or sixty artillery pieces brought by Zhang Xuan were all pushed out in a hurry, and they were all aimed at one place.

Concentrate your fire and suppress the city. Zhang Xuan didn't believe it. The people at the head of the city really braved dozens of artillery pieces to bombard, and they could still persist in fighting. As for hand-to-hand combat, it will be handed over to Wang Jincai, the most elite department of Zhang Xuan's department, they are veterans, no matter how they are also from the imperial court, and they may not be able to fight tough battles, but they are not to be outdone to bully these people.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan's subordinates are now also strong under Wang Jincai's subordinates.

Originally, the most trusted part of Zhang Xuan's subordinates was Cao Zongyu's department, but after the battle in the south of Yingcheng, Cao Zongyu picked up a small life. As for the subordinates who have lost their lives, now Cao Zongyu's department,

They were newly trained, mostly non-commissioned officers recruited from Linying, and then officers recruited from various ministries. All are recruits.

The Wu brothers were dragged away by the camp and stationed in Linying, and the rest of the departments either lost too much, and their vitality had just recovered, or they were simply newly built, how could they compare to Wang Jincai's department.

I don't know, whether it was Zhang Xuan's night attack on Wang Qiaonian, which caused the defeat of the three armies of the Qin army, but the battle record, which made Wang Jincai feel loyal, or whether the righteous army was strong, Wang Jincai had no other thoughts, and was willing to serve Zhang Xuan at this moment. Zhang Xuan also used it much more easily.

"Kill." Yuan Shizhong's middle part is still the same old-fashioned, setting up a long ladder to rush hard. And the people in the city also dealt with the old ways. In just a moment, Yuan Shizhong's troops were killed and wounded under the city.

"Dangdang." The sound of gold sounded, but it was only a moment. Yuan Shizhong's rabble seemed to retreat like a tide.

"Kill." The rabble retreated, and the soldiers of the city immediately became neat.

With a hundred people as a team, with five or six people and a small cannon as a team, Wang Jincai commanded in front of the formation, and Deng He took over the second attack, although he was ready to reinforce Wang Jincai, and Cao Zongyu was dispatched after the formation. Zhang Xuan played all the cards in his hand.

Whether it is success or failure depends on this time.

Zhang Xuan rode on the horse, gritting his teeth secretly, as if he was bored, but in fact, his fingers pinched the horsewhip tightly, until his nails turned white.

"Boom." Dozens of small cannons were fired together, and for a time there was also a sense of momentum.

Dozens of fist-sized solid cannonballs hit the city.

To be honest, even if Zhang Xuan trains the artillerymen again, the accuracy of the artillery is the same thing. These dozens of cannonballs hit high or low, and only a few of them smashed on the city wall, but just like that, it was enough for the people at the head of the city to drink a pot.

Under the flying flesh and blood, few people dare to come forward at all.

Long stairs were erected on the city at the same time.

Wang Jincai shouted loudly, and under the long ladder, he urged the officers and soldiers below to go to the city, as for him, Wang Moucai would not rush to the city.

"Quick, quick, take the thief down." Under the loud shouting of a person, this person is Wang Juren, whose real name is Wang Shoujue in Chenzhou City, which can be regarded as a big family, and most of the people in the city are the family members of his Wang Ju family, and under the encouragement of Wang Juren, dozens of strong men pounced.

For a time, there was a fight on the top of the city.

On top of the wall, which was not wide, there were people standing with swords and spears. The artillery under the city did not dare to fire here. lest you injure your own people by mistake.

However, the rebels were afraid of accidental injury, but some people were not afraid.

Wang Juren said with a hideous face: "Open the cannon." A cannon of several hundred pounds was pushed over and aimed at the city.
