On April 23, the twenty-third year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the day after Chen Youliang arrived in Hongdu, Chen Youliang, who had rested for a day and a night, fully recovered his physical strength, and had all assembled his troops, horses, food and grass, issued the order to attack the city.

The Battle of Hongdu officially began.

When he was just preparing to capture Hongdu, Chen Youliang encountered a problem.

I think the root cause of this problem lies in Chen Youliang's body, to be precise, in Chen Youliang's mentality.

I think Chen Youliang shouldn't have taken Hongdu City into account at all.

He should be contemptuous, even indifferent, of Hongdu.

Because before attacking Hongdu, Chen Youliang, as the plaintiff, could be said to be completely ignorant of the recent situation in Hongdu City, and he should not have been clear about the overall military defense intelligence of Hongdu City, and he did not even do the pre-war investigation and intelligence collection of Hongdu.

Perhaps in Chen Youliang's eyes, there should be only one place that can really be seen, and this place is Ying Tianfu.

Hongdu City is just a passer-by for him to take down Yingtian.

It's something that needs to be done by the way, and you don't need to attack it yourself at all.

It was in this situation of almost indifference that Chen Youliang, who had just launched an attack, encountered a problem.

He found that the warship he had carefully prepared did not work at all.

Before the capture of Hongdu, Chen Youliang found that the defensive measures here were essentially different from the Taiping City that he had defeated, and he still clearly remembered the experience of easily stepping on the city wall when he captured Taiping City, at that time his warship was close to the city wall of Taiping, and the warship was almost as high as the city wall.

It is also for this reason that Chen Youliang, who has learned the lessons of the past, when he was bent on building the current ships wider and larger, and the layers of the ships are more towering, he found that these giant warships, which could be said to be flawless in his heart, had no loopholes in front of Hongdu City.

These dock warships, all designed and built by themselves, have absolute intellectual property rights and do not allow them to pirate and infringe, in front of Hongdu City, a city that does not seem to be far from fighting, it is like a number of useless and useless props that can only be seen and cannot be used.

These giant warships, which were a nightmare for the enemy at sea and on the river, and could inflict heavy damage on the enemy, turned into piles of useless waste snacks.

The reason for all this is that Zhu Wenzheng ordered people to push the city wall inward parallel to the thirty meters.

This seemingly small move, which in peacetime is more like an extra move, has played an indelible role in wartime.

Because when he captured Hongdu, Chen Youliang found that his giant warship had nothing to do with the Hongdu city wall, and if he wanted to take Hongdu, the only thing he could do was to abandon the ship and attack the city on foot.

In the eyes of Chen Youliang, a thug who took the sea as his home, made his fortune on the sea and was proficient in naval warfare, the tactics of Taiping City could be completely replicated, and the combat experience of the Taiping Campaign, which had almost zero casualties, could definitely be pasted in Hongdu for reuse.

But when Chen Youliang actually launched a military attack, he realized that his idea was wrong.

It couldn't be more wrong.

In front of Hongdu City, a city that looks not much different from Taiping City, the battleships that he is proud of and painstakingly built are equivalent to piles of useless scrap copper and rotten iron in front of Hongdu City.

The city walls are not even close to each other, and it is impossible to attack it with warships.

Faced with this situation of not yet having a real war but already being defeated, Chen Youliang, who had the absolute initiative, decisively ordered to abandon the ship and land on foot.

And the first target of Chen Youliang's attack was: Fuzhou Gate.

This is basically consistent with Zhu Wenzheng's prediction before the war.

The reason why Chen Youliang chose Fuzhou Gate as the first attack target is because it has its own unique advantages.

First of all, the geography here is open, and all the personnel and soldiers can be spread out.

Secondly, Fuzhou Gate is the closest to him, and he has the widest field of vision, so he can see the whole situation of the battle from the ship.

The last point I think should be related to Chen Youliang's personal character, in the eyes of Chen Youliang, a thug, since I want to beat you, then I will choose the most difficult to fight, so as to show my personal temperament, can show my personal charm, and can also be in line with my personal identity.

It was in this situation that Chen Youliang launched an attack on Fuzhou Gate.

At this time, Deng Yu, who was guarding the Fuzhou Gate, was already ready.

Facing Chen Youliang's unruly wolf army, Deng Yu, who had already been mentally prepared, first prepared a delicious stone fire for Chen Youliang.

When the other party ran hard to the city and prepared to build a ladder to forcibly climb the wall, Deng Yu, who had already been prepared, first threw down huge stones that were enough to crush people and crush the ladder.

Along with the stones, there were also cold short arrows that were quenched with poison and would die at the sight of blood.

And Chen Youliang also seemed to have been prepared, under the cover of wooden planks and bamboo shields, Chen Youliang ordered people to forcibly attack the city.

And a strict military order was issued: those who retreat without a fight, die!

It was under this almost cold and strict military order that Fuzhou Gate, which had been held for three days, died.

Along with Fuzhou Gate, there were also more than 30 zhang of dilapidated Hongdu city wall.

Faced with a very passive situation, Deng Yu, as a town guard general, must be angry in his heart.

I'll give you a lung!

For this completely tofu scum project of the city wall, Deng Yu's heart must have given the foreman of this project a death sentence.

You're a deflated three, even Lao Tzu dares to fool me, you'd better hope that I don't go to the battlefield alive, otherwise I'll have to stew you and make soup when I go back.

The city gate was breached and the city wall collapsed, which was good news for Chen Youliang, who took Fuzhou Gate for three days, and it was also a rare victory for Chen Jiajun, so he immediately ordered everyone to launch a second fierce attack on Fuzhou Gate.

Just as Chen Youliang was full of joy and led the army to enter the city through the broken Fuzhou Gate, they were greeted by a pair of centaurs with white and red, red and black, and black with a treacherous smile, and the pair of centaurs were holding a long black gun barrel in their hands.

The slight green moss covering the barrel of the gun represents its almost antique years.

That's right, this is the box artifact that Zhu Wenzheng has treasured for a long time.

These black barrels have a rather apt name: the Musket.

And its inventor is also famous abroad, his name is Kublai Khan (Yuan Shizu).

At first, the musket was equipped with round stone bullets, but with Kublai Khan's almost genius research and development, the ammunition of the musket has gradually evolved from the original stone bullets to the current lead bullets and iron bullets.

Under Kublai Khan's perverted psychology, he almost creatively thickened and lengthened the original small firebolt, which can hold dozens of shells at the same time, and also greatly prolongs its service life because of its benign characteristics of bronze casting.

When Chen Youliang's army stepped into the city gate, these firebolts, which had already been improved and processed, were instantly ignited and detonated.

At that time, in the era of cold delivery with no ballistics to speak of, let alone bullet marks to follow, this kind of firearm that integrates shamelessness, perversion, shock and slaughter is like a piece of fire in front of the enemy.

The moment the firearm fired, it was like today's shotgun, and even dozens of times more powerful than the shotgun, causing great psychological shadow and crowd damage to Chen Youliang's army.

Chen Jiajun, who had never heard of or seen such a thing as a holy relic, was killed and injured the moment the fire was fired.

Although the firearm is much easier to use than a knife and gun, and can also outperform the opponent in terms of momentum, it has a great drawback, that is, this completely manual opening and closing thing requires special personnel to reload it with ammunition.

This will invisibly create a kind of war gap.

At this time, another pair of people began to come in handy, and their leader was the second lieutenant Zhao Desheng.

Zhao Desheng's group stood behind the firecrackers, holding rows of wooden fences full of spears and arrows.

The walls were broken, and the fences were coming.

After the fence, there are also bricklayers.

That's right, it's a bricklayer.

If Zhu Wen is a rare genius, then Deng Yu is definitely a rare talent in the world.

In that kind of anxious situation, Deng Yue, as a defender, should be in a hurry, but this benevolent brother taught us a truth.

As a general, you should not only know how to attack and defend, but also learn to be flexible.

Didn't the walls fall?

Easy to do!

It's very easy to do!

Pull a group of men and horses to repair the collapsed wall.

At this time, a group of people were urgently recruited by Deng Yu, and as masons, what they held in their hands was no longer a knife and gun, nor was it a fierce firecracker, but a brick knife that was really used to cut bricks and mud.

Their mission is no longer to fight the enemy head-on, and it is no longer to hold a short, bladeless brick knife that can only be used for mud mixing and no military use for military defense, they have only one mission this time.

That is: to build the fallen and broken walls.

In that fierce battle, you might as well imagine what it was like.

The people in front were fighting head-on with long guns and short cannons, lightning and flint weapons were loud, guns and bullets were raining and flesh were flying, while a group of masons in the back were busy mixing with mud, and a group of people were busy cutting bricks and tiles to build the city wall.

When that near-impossible scene comes to mind, I think anyone can't help but laugh.

While laughing, I can't help but feel respect.

I think what I admire the most is the group of people who are masons, I think this group of people should have extremely strong psychological qualities and quite strict military qualities, because in that kind of situation of superiority and disadvantage, in the extreme situation of their own brothers-in-arms fighting bloody battles and even exposing corpses in the wilderness, they can still abandon their swords and guns and pick up brick knives to calm down and quickly repair the wall.

This kind of psychological quality, which is almost extremely perverted, is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

While sincerely admiring them, I also have to admire one person, this person is Deng Yu.

In that kind of battle-filled situation, he was able to make such a wise decision quickly, which was truly extraordinary.

In retrospect, all of them had a different division of labor, but their political mission was exactly the same.

In the face of Chen Youliang's wanton invasion, their goals are the same.

Therefore, I think they are all first-class heroes, and in the face of Chen Youliang, no matter what kind of division of labor, they are the absolute winners.

I can't imagine the battle at that time, and the number of casualties in that almost naked battle must have been astronomical.

In the naked hand-to-hand combat in front, the city wall in the rear was also repaired in a day and a night.

Another result that appeared with the completion of the restoration of the city wall was: the governor Li Jixian, the marshal Niu Hailong, Zhao Guowang, Xu Gui, Zhu Qian, and Wanhu Cheng Guosheng were all killed.

And Zhu Wenzheng, as the coach, was also lucky to be shot in this battle, and was lucky to be wounded.
