Chapter 115: Under the City of Chenzhou

In the end, Li Zicheng did not let Zhang Xuan and Yuan Shizhong fight alone, but sent Gao Yigong.

The battle of attacking Chenzhou will be presided over by Yuan Shizhong, assisted by Zhang Xuan and Gao Yigong.

If Zhang Xuan had not asked for his life, Li Zicheng would definitely have made Yuan Shizhong the vanguard, first, to consume Yuan Shizhong's strength, and secondly, to let Yuan Shizhong show his heart. But Zhang Xuan's request for help disrupted Li Zicheng's plan. Li Zicheng suspected that there was a connection between Luo Rucai and Yuan Shizhong, so he attacked the battle of Chenzhou, so he asked his cronies to assist Yuan Shizhong, Gao Yigong and Zhang Xuan.

But this assistance is only literal. Gao Yigong looked down on Yuan Shizhong a little, and all he did was supervise the war.

"Kill." Under the city of Chenzhou, the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering.

Yuan Shizhong's corporal rushed towards Chenzhou in waves.

Zhang Xuan and Gao Yigong were close to Yuan Shizhong, and they could see it clearly.

Yuan Shizhong's army can't be called an army at all, almost bandits, although there are a lot of people, but there is no siege experience at all, first of all, the siege equipment is incomplete, only some long ladders, facing the city wall several zhang high, and the rolling stone and sasswood on the city wall, it is impossible to resist at all, but it is just a futile death.

It's just a matter of siege engines. And the problem of Yuan Shizhong's resistance to the quality of soldiers is more serious than the problem of siege equipment.

Yuan Shizhong can control only the leaders below, in addition to Yuan Shizhong's thousands of headquarters people, the command is not effective, even if there are heroes, in this case, they attack the city, but the front and back are disjointed, and it is not easy to lay down a section of the city wall. Backup could not come up, and eventually drowned on the city, and very few people survived.

"Brother Yuan." Wang Xianzu knelt in front of Yuan Shizhong's horse with a body full of smoke and dust, and said: "Little brother, the siege of the city is not good, so I have come to ask the eldest brother for the guilt and ask the eldest brother to punish him." ”

Yuan Shizhong's face turned blue for a while, he didn't know what to say, his hand held the horsewhip tightly, trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan said to Yuan Shizhong: "General Yuan, General Wang has done his best, but this Chenzhou City is too strong. Zhang Xuan's words were not nonsense, he could see clearly, Wang Xianzu ripped off his armor, shirtless, carried a long knife, and went into battle in person, which can be described as a brave man.

He even climbed the city wall in person, but in the end, he was not supported by enough and jumped from the city. If there are not several corpses underneath as a buffer. He died long ago.

It is indeed worthy of the word "do your best".

Zhang Xuan is also a little envious, Zhang Xuan thinks that his subordinates can compare to Wang Xianzu, but Luo Dai is alone, if Cao Zongyu is not injured, he deliberately has the strength to fight, but it is far inferior to Wang Xian

Ancestor.

"Today, General Zhang interceded for you, and I will spare your life." Yuan Shizhong said: "Don't hurry up and retreat." ”

In fact, Yuan Shizhong didn't want to punish Wang Xianzu, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general. That is to say, Yuan Shizhong is now, Yuan Shizhong can recruit a lot of soldiers and horses with a casual shout on the ground in Henan, but there is a shortage of generals who can really charge into battle, one is Yuan Shizhong himself, and the other is Wang Xianzu.

Wang Xianzu is Yuan Shizhong's right-hand man. How could Yuan Shizhong bear to be punished. It's just that today's matter is not only Yuan Shizhong's matter, Cao Ying and the people who broke into the camp are there, he himself is not easy to speak, and when Zhang Xuan says this, he will naturally get off the donkey.

"General Yuan." Gao Yigong suddenly said: "If you can't attack the city today, or rest, for the time being." After the arrival of the King Chuang Brigade tomorrow, it will not be too late to attack again. ”

Gao Yigong is a northwestern man, he is Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, he is cautious and low-key, and his status in the camp is below Liu Zongmin, but it does not mean that Gao Yigong's ability is below Liu Zongmin. It's just that he's always been cautious. I don't like to be in the limelight.

Gao Yigong's words are not difficult to hear, but they are very unpleasant to hear in Yuan Shizhong.

Yuan Shizhong secretly gritted his teeth, he was unwilling to give up Chenzhou City to the camp to attack, without him, this was related to Yuan Shizhong's status in the righteous army.

Li Zicheng's meaning is clear, and he wants to include Yuan Shizhong in his subordinates, but Yuan Shizhong may not have the intention of being subordinate. What Yuan Shizhong wanted was the status of an independent battalion like Luo Rucai.

But among the rebels, strength always speaks.

If Yuan Shizhong independently captures Chenzhou, there will still be people who speak in the righteous army, but if the siege is not overcome, let the camp be captured, and then what kind of status he will have in the righteous army, you can imagine.

But what if he doesn't agree?

Wang Xianzu is the most capable of fighting among his subordinates, and even he went into battle to be frustrated under Chenzhou. Even if he goes into battle in person, he may not be as brave as Wang Xianzu. Although it was just past noon today, looking at this posture, even if he attacked for half a day, it would only be a waste of soldiers' lives.

"General Gao." Zhang Xuan suddenly said: "This time King Chuang asked you and me to help General Yuan attack Chenzhou, if the siege is not down, I'm afraid it is not easy to talk in front of King Chuang, I watched General Yuan attack the city, besieged on all sides, and has contained most of the troops in Chenzhou City, but there is only one less elite, and the final word is made." Otherwise, you and I will make a contribution to help General Yuan capture this city. ”

"Thank you, General Zhang." Yuan Shizhong was suddenly overjoyed, turned his head as he spoke, and asked Gao Yigong, "What does Senior Brother think?" ”

Gao Yigong's eyes rolled slightly on Zhang Xuan, and said, "It's okay." ”

Yuan Shizhong asked quite skillfully, he first affirmed this matter, and then asked Gao Yigong. Let Gao Yigong only choose to agree or not. Gao Yigong knew that his mission was just to supervise the war, and one more to see Zhang Xuan and Yuan Shizhong, no, it should be what tricks were between Luo Rucai and Yuan Shizhong. As for going into battle in person, it is not in the plan, but it is difficult to say a "no" right now.

However, Zhang Xuan has also gained a bit of the city government under the polishing of the rebel army, and it is not easy to match the high level of merit, he said: "It's just that I brought it this time, most of them are cavalry, and it can't be attacked." I had to press the battle for General Zhang, please rest assured General Zhang, once there is an attack in the city, I will block it for you. ”

Chenzhou was surrounded solidly. Where there is any intention to strike. Cavalry can't storm the city? It's a fallacy. After dismounting, many cavalry can fight better than infantry. Especially in this era, the Han cavalry rarely did not fight without war horses.

Although it is an excuse, Zhang Xuan can't debunk it. Because there is no point.

Zhang Xuan's strategy is to befriend Yuan Shizhong, Yuan Shizhong is the representative of the Liukou in Henan, and Zhang Xuan is a native of Henan, picking up nostalgia, and they have a natural connection with each other, and Zhengzhou and Huaxian are not too far apart. And Zhang Xuan's contact with Yuan Shizhong is not only Yuan Shizhong alone, but most of the poles in Henan, Yuan Shizhong has a very good reputation in Henan, with Yuan Shizhong's help, Zhang Xuan is easy to make a name for himself in these pole circles, if he wants to break away from Luo Rucai in the future, these large and small bandit poles in Henan are Zhang Xuan's natural team and allies.

Since you want to show favor to Yuan Shizhong, you might as well be more generous.

Zhang Xuan said to Yuan Shizhong: "I look at this city, the city is more than seven miles long, each of the four gates has an urn city, and the four corners have a city tower, a good square city, so I specialize in attacking the city gate, half the effort, however, because our army is from the northwest, the officers and soldiers are mostly in the northwest, and even the banner of Guan Yongjie is also in the northwest, which is thick here and thin there. Therefore, I asked General Yuan to storm as before, I took my soldiers under my command, sneaked to the southeast to make a thunderous blow, if the heavens are blessed, go down to this city today, if it doesn't work, it will only wait for tomorrow. ”

Tomorrow, the camp brigade will arrive.

Yuan Shizhong was overjoyed and said: "Thank you General Zhang, I will remember the general's kindness." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Without further ado, I'll go and prepare and leave." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he pulled the reins and took Luo Dai and others, galloped down, and galloped to the back, Zhang Xuan just said simply, but the city is condescending, the line of sight is very wide, Zhang Xuan wants to transfer his soldiers and horses to the southeast of the city without paying attention to the situation, it is not an easy thing, you need to make more preparations, and arrange. Time is of the essence, and there is no room for disdain.

Yuan Shizhong watched Zhang Xuan leave, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
