Just do it, the ladder that was made a few days ago is useless, and it has just darkened after setting up the camp tent, and more than 20,000 soldiers have begun to dig frantically, and the grandfather of the country has issued a strict order, if you can't dig under the city wall tonight, tomorrow's breakfast will be free.

Although it seems not easy to dig a three-mile-long tunnel, it can't stand the strength of the crowd, and it didn't wait for dawn to dig through, just waiting for the gunpowder transported by Simingfu City, and there are a few old bottles of cannons on the head of Simingfu City. Although it has not been fired for decades, gunpowder has to be prepared every few years as a war preparation material. Although the number is not very large, it is not a problem to blow up a section of the city wall.

The city of Simingzhou is still very lively, the marshal of Annan is the first, and nearly ten generals live on both sides, enjoying delicious food and wine while discussing good strategies to resist the enemy.

"There are less than 30,000 Ming troops outside the city, so Ben Shuai decided to take the initiative to destroy them, show the strength of my Annam, and at the same time force the Ming Dynasty to sign a contract and pay tribute!" Annan said coaxingly, as if everything was easy.

As soon as the words fell, there was a continuous sound of praise, which made Annan handsome listen to it flutteringly, and couldn't help but take a sip of the wine glass.

After touting it, the general who had been pouring cold water on the role said worriedly: "Dashuai, we only have less than 20,000 horses, and in the face of so many Ming troops, I'm afraid the odds of victory are not high!" ”

Marshal Annan's eyes widened, and he said with some displeasure: "Do you think that I, the Annan warrior, can't even deal with two Ming troops alone?" In Ben Shuai's opinion, using 20,000 soldiers and horses against the 30,000 Ming army is already lifting them! ”

The other generals resolutely were on the same front as Marshal Annan, and they glared at this comrade who always liked to spoil the good atmosphere.

"The marshal misunderstood, the last general just felt that in order to be foolproof, it was best to invite the marshal of the East Road in Siling Prefecture to send troops to attack the Ming army, and it was also very possible to annihilate them, and then Guangxi's troops would be empty, and we could easily occupy the entire territory of Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty!" Honest people don't brag on weekdays, but once they blow, it's absolutely earth-shattering.

When Marshal Annan heard this, he immediately smiled with satisfaction and praised: "Well said, that Marshal will send someone to Siling Prefecture tomorrow to invite the Marshal of the East Road to send troops to attack the Ming army, and he must annihilate them all and occupy the entire territory of Guangxi in one fell swoop!" ”

The generals were desperately touting again, and the whole banquet presented an atmosphere of peace, unity and progress, and the entrance of the wine and food was even more delicious.

The smoke is curling, the soldiers who have worked hard all night digging tunnels are still asleep, and the hard-working firehead soldiers have begun to make fires to cook, and the grandfather of the country said that there will be a war today, and breakfast is meat buns, so that the soldiers must be well fed and eaten, so that they can shoot arrows to the city with full strength to kill the enemy.

Looking at the Ming army carrying the ladder slowly towards the city under the city, he drank for most of the night, and still felt a little dizzy The Annan marshal smiled, and ordered: "Mobilize people and horses to guard the city, so that the Ming army can see the might of my Annan warriors!" ”

The generals hurriedly responded, and it didn't take long for the soldiers under the city head to mobilize the soldiers who were making up for sleep, and the crowds were crowded, and the city head was crowded with the Demon Venerable Immortal Emperor.

"Hey, how did they separate!" Seeing that the Ming army was getting closer and closer, they suddenly divided into two teams and walked towards both sides, and the big handsome couldn't help frowning, are they ready to besiege my Siming Prefecture?

"Dashuai, they should be thinking of attacking from all sides, so as to create an emptiness and break through the city!" The generals under him looked at him like torches, and he saw through the intentions of the Ming army at a glance.

"Nonsense, don't you know such a simple question? It's just to test you, pass on my commander's order, all the people on all sides of the city will be arranged, and there must be no vacancies, and the commander will let the Ming army retreat without a fight! Marshal Annan commanded.

The sound of killing shook the wilderness, and the Ming army finally launched a general attack, but although the shouting was loud, the slow appearance did not look like it was going to attack the city at all, this situation immediately caused the Annan soldiers above the city to laugh, no wonder the marshal looked down on the Ming army? This is the behavior of a warrior, and he is simply cowardly and afraid of death.

The small voices made by so many people were also sonic shocks in all directions, and He Dazhuang, who led the troops to attack, smiled coldly, what he wanted was like this.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the distance had arrived, He Dazhuang gave an order, and took the lead in opening his bow and arrows to shoot at the head of the city, He Dazhuang's arm strength was not small, and the hard bow weighing one stone was easily filled by him, and the arrow seemed to be out of the earth's gravity, tilting upwards and swishing straight onto the city.

A miserable scream sounded, and the sergeant wielding the banner of Annan at the front was hit by an arrow in his forehead, and his body was paralyzed.

But this is only a matter of a moment, with He Dazhuang's arrow on the city, the archers who were originally hidden behind Brother Yun have set up bows and shot arrows, and a rain of arrows under black pressure covered the city, the scene was extremely terrifying, and the Annan soldiers were scared to dodge, but unfortunately the personnel were too dense, and it was said that they could dodge it.

The miserable screams rang out, and the Annan warriors in the mouth of the big marshal ran away one by one, and many people were directly squeezed and fell off the city wall, some fell outside the city, and some fell into the city.

"Tsk, that's miserable!" Looking at the Annan people who were squeezed out of the city and fell outside the city, Shen Jianjun, who had been riding a war horse with clairvoyance in his hand and paying attention to the battle situation, kept lamenting and said, the war is too terrifying, and I don't know that the Annan people's nerves are wrong, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead to find trouble with the Celestial Empire, what is this not self-defeating?

"Brother Shen, show me!" Xiong Dabiao rode a horse and followed Shen Chongming's side and said cautiously, the soldiers of this Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion are all precious golden bumps, such a very consuming siege war The old man is of course reluctant to let them go out, but just follow behind to supervise the formation, so as not to break the Annan people and rush out of the city to fight head-on, that is when they go out to participate in the battle, they are definitely a good hand at fighting three, and in the tight spear formation in coordination, it is a one-sided slaughter when they clash with the Annan short-bladed infantry army.

Although the clairvoyance is a thing composed of two magnifying glasses, it is definitely a treasure bump in these years, and it is usually paid tribute by Westerners when they come to trade, and this one is still rewarded by the old man to the Shen Jian army for combat.

Fortunately, the well-informed Shen Jian Jun didn't take it seriously, and casually handed him the clairvoyance: "Brother Da Biao, pay close attention to the city, if the number of people in Annan decreases sharply, it will be a precursor for them to go out of the city to fight!" ”

"Great!" Xiong Dabiao responded in his mouth, and looked at the clairvoyance in front of him with excitement, and said curiously while looking at it: "Hey, how did the city wall get close!" ”

Shen Chongming didn't bother to explain, the more he explained this thing, the more troublesome it became, in case Xiong Dabiao was also a curious baby, then he would have to give him a physics lesson.

"Hold on!" The commander of Annan, who was hiding under several Teng shields, shouted hysterically, watching the soldiers rush down the city without hesitation' and 'go forward one after another', his heart was anxious, if the Ming army took the opportunity to attack the city, the three-zhang high city wall would be wasted, you must know that this is a three-zhang high city wall, a desperate maniac!

Fortunately, the rain of arrows gradually thinned out, and as most of the soldiers poured down the city, the soldiers who remained at the head of the city were finally able to move freely and raise their shields to avoid the rain of arrows.

"Brother Shen, there are a lot fewer Annan people in the city, and most of the rest are holding Teng Dun!" Xiong Dabiao, who was closely watching the city with clairvoyance in his hand, said.

"Well, give the order to retreat! By the afternoon, the gunpowder will almost arrive, and then the city wall will be destroyed and killed directly! Shen Chongming gave an order, and took the lead in turning his head and beating his horse and rushing back to the barracks to report to the old man, seeing that the casualties of the Annan people were very heavy.

The old man had the intention to cultivate Shen Chongming, and at this time, he completely became the shopkeeper, and he had been sitting in front of the big tent basking in the sun and waiting for news.

"Old man, the Annan people have suffered heavy losses, according to the estimation of the lower officials, there are almost a thousand casualties!" Shen Chongming turned over and dismounted, and walked to the old man with a smile on his face to report the battle situation.

"Well, it doesn't take a single soldier to kill and injure nearly a thousand Annan monkeys, which is a very good job!" The old man straightened up and smiled.

"Hehe, we don't have enough gunpowder, if we have enough, we can blow up all the four city walls, then the Annan people will suffer even heavier losses, don't you see, the city head was crowded at that time, and the people who led the troops in Annan probably brought all their troops to the city wall to defend!" Shen Chongming was a little excited, it was not his own person who died, so there was nothing to feel sorry for.

"Hehe, that's right, but this method is not very good, let's rush Annan back to his hometown, if we want to collapse all the four city walls, it will take at least half a month to dig the tunnel, over time, the possibility of being discovered is extremely high, and then it will be useless!" The old man smiled and said his opinion, in the final analysis, fighting a war is still fighting for people's lives, otherwise the imperial court tightened its belt and spent decades paying attention to cultivating dozens of Shenji battalions, wouldn't it be invincible in the world.

Shen Chongming thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "The old man is high-minded, and the officials admire it!" ”

"Hehe, don't be a sycophant, the old man doesn't eat this!" The old man waved his hand and smiled, but the expression on his face showed that the old man enjoyed this sycophant.

"How many casualties!" Seeing that the Ming army under the city did not attack the city, Marshal Annan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the continuous rain of arrows just now really frightened him.

"Dashuai, the casualties haven't had time to be counted, but they're very heavy!" The general said with a sad face, stretched out his hand and pointed to the city, the marshal walked over to take a look, wanted to cry without tears, the dead and wounded soldiers under the city were black and pressed, and it was roughly estimated that there were two thousand people.

"The shameless Ming army actually used such despicable means, and they were really cowards, and they didn't even dare to attack the city!" Marshal Annan gritted his teeth and said, with 2,000 men and horses, the number of soldiers in Annan is just over 100,000, and this loss is really heavy.

"Dashuai, the results of the inventory are out!" A general with an arrow in the arm walked up dejectedly and said.

"Say, how many dead and wounded when they fall to the ground!" Da Shuai asked viciously, if it is beyond his own tolerance, he will chop up this bastard today.

"More than 500 people were killed by arrows, more than 200 were killed by stampede, more than 300 were seriously injured in the city, and nearly 1,700 were injured!" The general said bitterly, counting his wounded general, there were exactly 1,687 casualties.

"You ......" the handsome pointed at the general tremblingly, spit out a word, rolled his eyes and fainted, until he lay on the ground, everyone found that the handsome buttocks had half a broken arrow, and the buttocks were hit by arrows, and the hidden posture of the handsome at that time was very debatable! And because he was found wounded, the number of wounded and sick became one thousand six hundred and eighty-eight, a very auspicious number.
