In the twenty-fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty (February when Zhu Yuanzhang called King Wu), a good news came from Huzhou.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's prediction, Xiong Tianrui really changed jobs again, this time his boss became Zhang Shicheng, and he provided the current boss with almost accurate strategic intelligence.

Boss Zhang, Monk Zhu is ready to attack your Pingjiang directly, you hurry up and get ready!

Zhang Shicheng was not ambiguous, and he urgently dispatched troops and horses from Huzhou and Hangzhou to defend Pingjiang, the headquarters.

There are plenty of troops, plenty of money, and everything seems to be expected.

When Zhang Shicheng thought that he could sit back and relax, there was suddenly very bad news in the front camp.

Huzhou and Hangzhou were breached.

At this time, not only Zhang Shicheng was dumbfounded, but Xiong Tianrui was also dumbfounded!

As a wage earner, Xiong Tianrui never expected that the information he obtained with his own ears turned out to be fake.

He was tricked.

He's been thoroughly tricked!

I was toyed with and applauded from beginning to end.

At this time, his first thought was to escape.

Because this has become a place of right and wrong.

Here, my life is in danger.

He wanted to run, but Zhang Shicheng didn't intend to let him go.

He hated this bastard who threw false information to him, and he was consistent with traitors!

Come on, pull him out and chop him alive!

In anger, Zhang Shicheng no longer cared about Xiong Tianrui's life or death.

Now he needs to focus on another issue.

This issue is urgent and urgent!

That's the question about the Battle of Pingjiang!

The defensive forces of Huzhou and Hangzhou, which were originally placed on both sides of the main city, were all killed, and now only one Pingjiang remains.

All I can do now is to stay to the end!

As the real protagonists, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who have completely solved the hostile forces of Huzhou and Hangzhou, embarked on a journey to Pingjiang!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in Yingtian, must be happy.

He was so happy!

His long-awaited final plan is finally ready to be implemented!

That was the complete liberation of Pingjiang (present-day Suzhou).

As long as Pingjiang is solved, the whole world will really become its own!

At this time, he was extremely excited.

He didn't expect that he, a cowherd baby, would one day ascend the throne and become the emperor!

When I was a child, I played a game that was completely at home, and there was even a day when my dream came true!

After the previous efforts to clean up Huzhou and Hangzhou, the current Pingjiang is like a Wang Ba trapped in his legs, which has been completely isolated by the air.

Now Zhang Shicheng can no longer make any big waves.

As long as you do him, all your dreams will really come true!

At this time, his heart must be churning and boiling!

He must be restless!

At this time, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who were on the front line, also finally arrived in Pingjiang after a short run.

Facing the wide and high Pingjiang city wall, and facing the almost complete defense of the city wall, Xu Da did not directly attack.

The city standing in front of Xu Da now is completely an isolated city.

The former friendly forces behind it have all been cleared by itself, and now Pingjiang is completely a bare-bones commander.

For this lonely city, he can circle it first, and then fight slowly.

What I have is time to play with you and see how long you can hold on!

Zhang Shicheng also knew that he had no way out, so he also made a decision.

Carry it to the end.

The big deal is death in the end.

If the husband dies, he will die, so what is there to fear?

After making up his mind, Chen Youliang asked his soldiers to take out all the things they had collected in the past few years and distribute them to everyone.

And the stakes of this battle were stated.

There is no Pingjiang after Pingjiang.

Just like when he stubbornly guarded Gaoyou, there is only one way out.

Then he had the soldiers move a lot of boxes out of the warehouse.

Inside are the strategic weapons he has collected in the past few days.

Now that the enemy has hit in front of him, it's time for these weapons that have been used as the bottom of his box to shine!

It's time for them to do their true job.

The positions of both sides are clear.

It is impossible to talk.

Since we can't talk about it, there's only one way!

Let's fight!

Find a way out of the battle.

In the face of Zhang Shicheng, who was already preparing to defend to the death, Xu Da also began to deploy his soldiers and horses to prepare for the attack.

Before talking about the Battle of Pingjiang, let's get to know this city.

Generally, businessmen have a characteristic that they like some auspicious numbers, such as 8 or 6 and other numbers to imply auspiciousness, wealth and prosperity. Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a smuggler of salt, has been selling illicit salt since he was a child and is an out-and-out businessman, so he also has such a characteristic.

When he occupied Pingjiang, the city of Zhang Shicheng, in order to prevent his hometown from being raided by others that day, he began to carry out a large-scale demolition and reconstruction of Pingjiang. In order to build Pingjiang into an impregnable city, he built a total of eight gates in Pingjiang, namely Fengmen, Huqiu Gate, Loumen, Xumen, Changmen, Panmen, West Gate, and North Gate.

Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a smuggler of salt, is not stingy with spending money.

He has money.

What he has is money.

He has always been a big spender in defending his hometown, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy.

I have to say that Zhang Shicheng is indeed a loser!

When such a loser thing began to develop his expansive thinking, we normal people would not dare to imagine it!

In order to ensure the solidity of the city wall, Zhang Shicheng ordered the surrounding city wall to be processed according to the method of mixing large pieces of stone with glutinous rice, which is a bit like our current reinforced concrete structure, but the materials used are different. This is a real big deal, glutinous rice is grain, and glutinous rice is different from rice, his output is much less, and the price is much more expensive than rice, in that era dared to use expensive and small amount of glutinous rice to build the city wall, this is completely squandering grain practice I am afraid that only Zhang Shicheng, a rich man, can do it.

In order to prevent being attacked by others without his knowledge, he also set up fixed bow and crossbow positions around the city wall, and the siegers would be shot through in an instant as soon as they approached the city wall.

When such a city that can definitely be called strong is placed in front of Xu Da, Xu Da also shows his almost brave tactical style.

For this city that Zhang Shicheng has operated for many years, he divided the people into eight parts, and each handed over to one person to lead.

Then let these eight people attack a city gate, they are Guo Xingtun Lou Gate, Huayun Long Tun Xu Gate, Tang He Tun Chang Gate, Wang Bi Tun Pan Gate, Zhang Wentun West Gate, Kang Mao Caitun North Gate, Geng Bingwen Tun City Northeast, Qiu Chengtun City West Gate, He Wenhui Tun City Northwest, and then let the strongest Huqiu Gate let Chang Yuchun attack, and he himself attacked the most difficult Fengmen in the front.

After the strategic deployment has been fully arranged, when the soldiers asked which door to hit first and which door to attack later, Xu Da's reply was also very simple.

He replied directly with a sly smile.

Do you need to ask me such a simple question?

200,000 soldiers and horses to fight a city with tens of thousands of defenders, do you still need to divide the main attack and auxiliary attack?

There's no secondary attack, it's all fucking main attack!

Beat me up!

gave me a slam towards Pingjiang City!

As long as you can take Pingjiang, no matter what method you use, just hit me, and don't bother me with these things in the future!

All of you just need to take care of your own city gate, you don't need to meddle in the other city gates, 200,000 small Pingjiang, I have never fought this kind of rich battle in my life, you just give me an open play!

At this time, Xu Da was very much like Chen Youliang in Hongdu City.

It's just that the difference is that Chen Youliang is a passive attacker, while Xu Da is an active attacker.

In order to facilitate the soldiers to successfully take Pingjiang, Xu Da was inspired by his thoughts when he attacked Jinling City, and he asked the soldiers to build countless enemy towers with three stories high and mobile, which were extremely convenient to be tied up with wood.

This kind of enemy building has a characteristic, that is, it is easy to dismantle, and you can take whatever you want. The installation is also simple, as long as there is enough material, you can set the height at will, if the height is not enough, you can continue to accumulate upwards. More importantly, this enemy building is easy to move and can be flexibly maneuvered in front, back, left and right.

It is recorded in the history books that as long as you stand on the enemy tower, you can easily overlook the panoramic view of the enemy's city walls.

And in order to facilitate the siege of the city, and in order to make better use of the limited combat resources in his hands, Xu Da moved out the weapons that were not in reserve. In addition to the most common bows and crossbows, there are also many muskets (muskets) and Xiangyang cannons.

After distributing all these things to everyone, Xu Da asked everyone to take turns to attack Pingjiang twenty-four hours a day.

As you can see, it is 24 hours a day.

This kind of fighting, which does not count time and consumption, is absolutely fatal to Zhang Shicheng's army in the city.

The history books do not say how many soldiers and horses there are in Pingjiang City, but I estimate that it is only 50,000 or 60,000 at most.

Fifty or sixty thousand against the 200,000 well-prepared soldiers and horses, and it was a continuous confrontation in turns.

You can imagine how difficult it is.

If it is said that the difficulty of the confrontation with the sword and the gun can be improvised, but the problem is that those shotguns are like shotguns, but the actual effect is not as powerful as the shotguns, and it is okay that the guns are not fired, and the casualties are a large number of casualties when they are shot.

What's even more terrifying is that there are many cannons dismantled from Chen Youliang's big ship above the firecracker.

These cannons are much more powerful than firearms.

This kind of undying battle like a wheel war is definitely a disaster for Zhang Shicheng!

That's all that, that's not all.

In order to prevent Zhang Shicheng from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and at the same time uphold the psychological attitude of doing nothing or doing it, Xu Da inherited Zhu Wenzheng's tactical ideas, and he ordered the soldiers to set up a circle of wooden fences in the outermost part of Pingjiang, and set up a special person to guard them, as long as anyone dares to cross the wooden fence half a step, they will be immediately killed by the guarded soldiers.

Check it out.

At this time, the Zhu family army besieging Pingjiang can be said to be three times inside and three times outside, and there is also an upper three layers.

It's just three layers below a ground shield.

It's really wrapped into dumplings!

And the dumpling filling is the main city of Pingjiang.
