Chapter 377 Breaking through the city
"Renyu, how do you use this hot air balloon?" Hong Chengchou looked at the hot air balloon for a long time, and even his neck was sore, so he withdrew his gaze and asked Liu Renyu.
"Commander, this hot air balloon can fly high into the air for reconnaissance purposes, and in wartime, it can fly over the enemy's head, drop 10,000 enemies, kill and injure the enemy, and disrupt the enemy's formation." Liu Renyu replied.
"Mr. Liu, according to what you say, wouldn't your hot air balloon be able to get the head of the enemy generals and directly throw 10,000 enemies, that is to say, you can take the head of the general in the army of ten thousand, but right?" Liu Wuguo asked with a smile.
"General Liu, the enemy commander can walk around, my hot air balloon flies slowly, and it can't blow up the enemy commander." Liu Renyu replied.
"I see, but there is such a thing in your own army, your own morale can be boosted, and the enemy's morale can be suppressed, and it can also be used to observe the situation on the battlefield and attack the enemy army, which is really a good thing." Liu Wuguo's eyes were staring at the hot air balloon, his eyes were shining, obviously very interested in this new weapon.
When the rest of the generals heard this, they also nodded, obviously agreeing with Liu Wuguo's words.
"If you want it, you can place an order, and I can sell it to you." Liu Renyu knew the meaning of the song and knew the meaning of several generals, so he resolutely decided to sell hot air balloons to these generals.
"That's true!" Yang Jinrong will be suspicious.
"A spit, a nail, absolutely no." Liu Renyu said firmly.
"I'll have one."
"I'll have one too."
The generals scrambled to shout loudly.
"Don't panic, you generals, please go to General Li Jiye Li to make a record later, and then the product is ready, I will send someone to your main camp." Liu Renyu said in a loud voice.
"Good, good, according to you, according to you." The generals said excitedly.
After Liu Renyu finished selling the hot air balloon, Hong Chengchou coughed lightly, and said with a serious face: "The cannon bombards the city, the city wall will inevitably not be guaranteed, and our army will naturally enter the city to exterminate the thieves. ”
"The last will go."
"The last general is willing to bring his elite and kill the thieves without leaving a single piece of armor."
"The last general's sword is already hungry and thirsty, and he just wants to drink the blood of thieves."
As soon as Hong Chengchou's words fell, except for Liu Renyu, the rest of the generals were all eager to try, and they couldn't wait to lead their troops into the central county immediately.
At this time, Hong Chengchou knew that the gang of generals wanted to attack the central county so actively, and it was definitely not because they wanted to exterminate the thieves as soon as possible and appease Shaanxi, or even to win the first merit in recovering the central county, they were going to make a fortune.
Speaking of which, the Ming court had no money, and the ordinary people had no money, but the gentry in between the two were very rich.
Wherever the thieves went, they naturally killed and plundered all the rich and poor, so that the thieves snatched all the gold and silver treasures of the rich and noble, and they were uncertain, and the treasures must be carried with them.
As long as the Jingbian Fort army collapses the city wall, the thieves will no longer have any means of resistance, and if they launch an attack at this time, the casualties will definitely not be very large, and they can also enter the city to loot, why not!
The minds of these generals, Hong Chengchou is as transparent and bright as a mirror, he doesn't want to choose a general, because he wants to see what Liu Renyu means first.
The rest of the generals saw that Hong Chengchou looked at Liu Renyu first, and then they all stopped talking and watched how Liu Renyu replied.
There is no doubt that if Liu Renyu wants to lead his troops to attack the central county first, the other generals can only give up this opportunity, because everyone knows that Liu Renyu is Hong Chengchou's confidant and favorite general.
Everything depends on how Liu Renyu expresses his position.
Liu Renyu looked around at the generals who were staring at him with a look of hope, and said with a slight smile: "Our army is only responsible for bombarding the city wall, and the matter of killing the enemy will get rid of the generals." ”
When those generals heard this, they were all very excited, and shouted louder voices asking for battle.
Hong Chengchou saw that his subordinates' willingness to fight was so strong, and he was a little difficult for a while, and he didn't know who to choose to fight.
He thought about it for a while, and then he came up with a brilliant idea.
"It's naturally a good thing that all the generals are enthusiastic about the battle, but there is only one vanguard, so please ask you to catch the main lot, and let whoever catches it, how about it?" Hong Chengchou said with a smile.
I have to say that this is a really good idea, everything depends on the will of God, and no one will be dissatisfied.
So everyone drew lots with peace of mind, and as a result, Guyuan General Zhang Mingzhe won the opportunity to be a pioneer.
The generals could only watch Zhang Mingzhe go to make a fortune.
Liu Renyu waited until Hong Chengchou had arranged the assault troops, and then said to the herald beside him: "Command the artillery, open artillery and bombard the city wall until it collapses." ”
"Yes, Marshal." When the herald received the order, he waved a small flag and gave the order to Li Jiye, who was standing on the roof of the chariot.
When Li Jiye received the order, he ordered his heralds to wave the order flag and give orders to the commanders of all chariots.
When the chariot commanders received the order, they ordered all the furlong planes on the chariot to reload, ignite, and fire.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom."
The cannon roared one after another, and the iron spherical projectile was fired. Under the impetus of the medicine, it shot out of the inner chamber of the cannon and smashed heavily on the city wall, instantly smashing the bricks on the city wall into thousands of holes and rubble flying sideways.
The thieves standing on the city walls felt that the mountains were shaking for a while, and they were almost unstable.
In fact, the thieves also have cannons, but these cannons are tiger squat guns, which belong to large shotguns, and the effect of the Ming army used to attack and siege the city at close range is definitely good, but there is no way to deal with the Ming artillery a mile away.
As for the rolling logs, boulders, and boiled gold juice piled up on the top of the city, they are useless.
The starry sky, the black god, and the scorpion block could only watch as the cannons in the Ming army's chariot roared angrily from time to time, hitting the iron projectiles on the city wall.
In the blink of an eye, the city wall of the central county town has been subjected to five rounds of artillery fire, and the bricks in many places have been completely scattered, and even the rammed earth layer inside has become extremely loose, and the collapse is only overnight.
"I can't hold it, so I quickly dodge." Guo Tianxing could clearly feel that the wall under his feet was loosening, so he hurriedly shouted.
"Let's go." The Black Demon God and the Scorpion Block had already intended this, and now that they had heard the call of the Celestial Star, they immediately walked down the city wall with the other party and went straight to the west gate.
They had said they were going to defend it, but now with a slight setback, they walked down the wall, and at this point, it was a man who knew that they were going to run again.
"The leaders have run away, and I will die without a place to be buried!"
I don't know who uttered such a terrible and desperate cry, and the thieves who were still on the head of the city and were ready to defend to the death suddenly lost their will to fight, scattered as birds and beasts, and fled into the city.
"Boom"
There was a loud bang, and dust rose into the sky.
The eastern city wall of the central county town could not withstand the hammer attack of the Jingbian Fort army, and finally could not support it and collapsed with a bang.
The city wall fell, and for the thieves in the city, everything was over, while the Ming army outside the city all began to get excited.
The siege has been around for two months, just waiting for today!
"General Zhang, let you be the vanguard and lead the troops into the county seat, and the rest of the infantry troops will all enter the city, search and kill the thieves, and the cavalry will stand by in place, if there are thieves and cavalry who escape from the city, they will be responsible for intercepting and killing." Hong Chengchou ordered again and again.
"Yes, Commander." When Zhang Mingzhe received the order, he shouted loudly to the 3,000 soldiers under his command: "Sons, the city wall has been broken, kill the thieves with me!" ”
"Kill."
The Guyuan soldiers under Zhang Mingzhe knew that it would definitely be beneficial for them to rush into the central county first, and they could loot the money first, so they all used their strength to eat milk and ran faster than rabbits.
The thieves are really not a strong opponent in their eyes, just a group of ordinary people.
Zhang Mingzhe led his men to storm for a while, and then rushed to the left of the gap in the city wall, and when they arrived here, logically speaking, they should always pay attention to whether there were any enemy troops on the remaining city wall, and whether there was any defense in the city wall.
When the Guyuan soldiers didn't care at all, they rushed in regardless of it.
They all thought that there would be no more defense in this county, and the fact was that as they expected, the central county was in chaos.
