Chapter 398: Defensive Counterattack
Cao Bianjiao listened to Zhou Zheng's words, agreed, and quickly ordered people to carry some hidden large boxes to the city wall.
And some special soldiers were placed in the front line, these things, only some soldiers know, most people do not understand.
The heavy artillery was polished, the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the north, and boxes of shells were piled up behind them.
Some of these soldiers followed Zhou Zheng to participate in the defense of the capital, and their expressions were more relaxed, while the others were almost all new recruits, and their faces were tense and very uneasy.
Zhou Zheng led a group of people to set up, walking back and forth around the city, making sure that nothing was missed.
Build a large camp.
In Huang Taiji's big tent, there are only three people: Huang Taiji, Ji'er Harang, and Fan Wenchen.
Huang Taiji drank the wine carelessly, with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of indifference and murder, and said: "That Zhou Zhengyun killed Haoge, I want him to be buried with him." ”
Jierharang sat in front of Huang Taiji, his face was indifferent, and he said: "Ten thousand people, half an hour, take Youtun!" ”
Huang Taiji smiled slightly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, turned to Fan Wenchen, and said, "What do you think, sir?" ”
Fan Wenchen pondered for a moment and said: "Guangning Youtun is just a castle, it is not difficult to break through, if it is breached, it will not be good." ”
Huang Taiji smiled more and said, "Mr. is really wise." ”
Zilharang's expression was as usual, but in fact, his heart was also transparent.
It won't be difficult for them to break through Youtun, and they're not trying to occupy a small Youtun, it's not a threat to them. What they want to do is to give the Ming Dynasty a warning, that is, - you can't cross the Daling River!
Therefore, it is not for them to break through Youtun, they want the Ming army south of the Daling River to come to the rescue, give a big defeat, and curb the heart of the Ming army to advance north!
Huang Taiji took another sip of wine, looked at Jierharang and said, "Wai San is missing one, give them a chance to ask for help." ”
Zilharang said, "It's the Great Khan. ”
Fan Wenchen smiled at Huang Taiji and said, "Great Khan, do you remember the fierce general that Wei Chen told you?" See you in three months! ”
Huang Taiji was thirsty for talent, and listening to Fan Wenchen's words, he was in a happy mood and said, "Okay! Then I will wait for the good news from my husband. ”
Zilharang never interjected, as Huang Taiji's staunchest ally and courtier, he has always been extremely measured.
After noon, Jianyu's attack arrived as scheduled.
But instead of coming up and storming as they did in the morning, the cavalry went around the city and even opened a gate.
This is extremely bad news for Youtun, there are not many soldiers in the first place, if the troops are divided and defended, the broken city is almost in sight!
At the head of the city, Zhou Zheng's expression was solemn, but he did not panic, and said to Cao Bianjiao and others: "Don't worry, just guard the north gate." ”
A group of people were extremely nervous in their hearts, and in response to Zhou Zheng's words, they stood at the city gate, looking at the approaching army of Jianyu, all of them breathed a sigh of relief, extremely cautious and uneasy.
Shangguan Qing stood behind Zhou Zheng, wearing a white armor that was dyed with most of the blood at some point, and he looked very charming.
Zhou Zheng looked at the north, and countless thoughts flew in his heart.
"Kill!"
The army of Jianyu pounced on the head of Youtun City, and it was even more ferocious than in the morning.
The commander was Zilharang, who sat in the rear, calm and indifferent.
"Fire!"
Upstairs in Youtun City, Cao Bianjiao drank.
The artillery was already preparing and quickly stepped forward to ignite.
The deafening sound of artillery suddenly rang out, and dozens of shells flew out and exploded in the vast army of Jianyu Tide hundreds of feet away.
These are flowering shells, and I don't know how many people have been killed by one shell!
The artillery was constantly reloaded, ignited, and flew in the air, and the people who exploded on the ground turned on their backs, and the corpses flew sideways.
This greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army on the right tun, and they roared one after another.
Zilharang naturally knew about this thing, but he didn't expect that the Ming army didn't take it out in the morning, his expression was indifferent, and he still ordered 10,000 soldiers to continue the attack.
The Jianyu soldiers quickly pounced on the top of the city and climbed up the ladder to capture Youtun.
They were more imposing than in the morning, murderous like fire, one after the other.
"Archers, shieldmen, grenades, throw!"
Cao Bianjiao shouted at the head of the city, holding a knife to command the defense of the city.
On the head of the right city, bows and arrows rained down, shields stood in front, and the heavily trained throwers threw grenades down the city as if they didn't want money.
The sound of explosions resounded throughout Youtun, and the lethality of these weapons was huge, and in such a dense place, I don't know how many lives of the soldiers were killed.
Jianyu's originally aggressive attack was quickly contained, and even retreated for a while.
Zilharang shouted and urged his soldiers to continue the attack.
It didn't take long for Huang Taiji in the rear to finally hold back, came to the front, looked at Xiao Xiaoyoutun, and his face was a little dignified.
"This is the firearm?" He asked Yue Tuo beside him.
Yue Tuo nodded solemnly on his face and said, "Yes." This thing is easy to carry, the power is huge, almost a square radius can be blown up, it is a sharp weapon. ”
Huang Taiji stared at it for a while, and suddenly said: "If this person is willing to surrender, Ben Khan will not investigate him for killing Haoge, and the high-ranking official will be a confidant!" ”
Fan Wenchen listened and did not speak. They had met Zhou Zheng in Shenyang, and Fan Wenchen had a conversation with Zhou Zheng at the post station, knowing that this person was determined and had strong hostility towards the Jin State, and this was not a person who surrendered easily.
In Youtun City, Zu Dashou felt the trembling ground, kept his eyes closed, and his face was expressionless.
He Kegang and the others behind him were terrified, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
At the gate, there were only five people guarding, not heavily guarded.
On the right tun city, Zhou Zheng looked at the attacking Jianyu army, and then looked at the means of defending the city, his face was condensed, and he kept observing, without a moment of relaxation.
In the face of firearms, the siege of Jianyu was blocked for a while, but it was still in front of each other, and the momentum was like a rainbow, as if it was going to take the right tun in one fell swoop.
After a while, there were very few Jianyu who attacked the city, but they suffered a lot of losses, and the tense atmosphere on the head of the city gradually loosened a little, and even Cao Bianjiao came to Zhou Zheng, and said with some joy: "My lord, do you see it?" With these, Jianyu doesn't want to capture Youtun......"
Zhou Zheng didn't answer him, but turned to Meng Hezhou and said, "The letter to the superintendent has been sent?" ”
Meng Hezhou hurriedly said: "Yes, Mixin, Jian Yu didn't stop it, and now it should be across the Big and Small Ling River." ”
Zhou Zheng nodded, turned to Cao Bianjiao, and said, "Kill me, kill one when you come up!" Throw me grenades, don't hesitate. The artillery is constant, even if it blows up, it doesn't matter! ”
Cao Bianjiao listened to Zhou Zheng's words, hurriedly clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!" ”
With Zhou Zheng's order, Youtun's defensive attack became more and more fierce.
Under the city wall of Youtun, I don't know how many Jianyu soldiers died under arrows, stones, fire oil and grenades, and there were corpses everywhere in the eyes!
