Zhang Bin was intensively preparing to bombard Wuchang City, and a secret report suddenly came from the capital, and the prince Zhu Cihong was scolded by Chongzhen when he went back, and the reason was that the prince was too close to him.

This kind of thing, he had expected it a long time ago, with Chongzhen's suspicious character, sooner or later he would become suspicious, this time Chongzhen didn't completely suspect that he was wrong, he just wanted to completely control the Ming Dynasty by controlling the prince.

However, he did not seek to usurp the throne, but to continue the Ming Dynasty, which he had a clear conscience, so he just scoffed at Chongzhen's approach and did not take it to heart.

However, the next day, bad news came one after another.

Chongzhen actually asked Xu Guangqi to recommend Wen Zhenmeng into the cabinet, and Bi Maokang, Zou Weilian, Cai Shanji, Chen Zizhuang, these capable ministers and officials were all abandoned by him!

Immediately afterwards, he actually took the position of Zhan Shi in his Zhan Mansion, let Kong Zhenyun succeed him, and drove Zheng Chenggong home, he wanted to cut off his connection with the prince!

What's even more hateful is that he actually promoted a traitorous villain like Xue Guoguan to the second assistant of the cabinet, which clearly shows that he doesn't want to be the first assistant of the cabinet!

As for letting Chen Xinjia, a cronie promoted by Yang Sichang, be the secretary of the military department, this is nothing, he thinks that he can control the military power by controlling the position of the secretary of the military department, but he simply doesn't understand the current situation, and he provokes himself, and the transfer order of his military department or even the holy decree is not good!

Will there be something to be dishonored by the king's life outside, you know?

Come on, you are here to force my generals!

However, at this time, he had to change his strategy, originally he wanted to be ruthless, and clean up the two heroes Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, stabilize the situation of the Ming Dynasty and then clean up Jiannu.

Now, however, he can't do that.

The so-called "cunning rabbit dies, lackeys cook; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. If he really finishes cleaning up all the thieves and Jiannu, Chongzhen estimates that he should come to clean him up, won't he be forced to rebel when the time comes!

He didn't want to rebel, he wanted to wait for the crown prince Zhu Cihong to grow up and take over the throne "smoothly", so this rebel can't be completely wiped out, at least not at this time.

He thought about it, and simply ordered Qin Liangyu, who was secretly leading 10,000 newly trained white pole soldiers to the direction of Kuizhou Mansion, to immediately turn around and go back to the stone pillar.

He originally wanted Zhang Xianzhong, who was blocked by Qin Liangyu, to have nowhere to escape, because there were 100,000 Fuguang troops led by himself in the east of Xiangyang, and he would definitely not be able to pass here, and Yunyang in the north of Xiangyang was garrisoned by 30,000 Huguang soldiers led by Qin Yiming, and there were 30,000 soldiers led by Li Wanqing in the south of Xiangyang. When the time comes, Qin Liangyu will block his way again, and he will die.

Now, Zhang Bin is ready to open the net, let him have a way out, let him enter Sichuan, and wait for the opportunity to recover, this trick is called "raising Kou self-respect", in the face of Chongzhen such a faint king, he has to keep the "cunning rabbit" of the thief first, so as not to Chongzhen set up a pot to cook him as a "lackey"!

Zhang Xianzhong didn't know that Chongzhen had given him another divine assist, allowing him to escape, and he was watching in Xiangyang Mansion at this time.

Luo Rucai didn't know that Zhang Bin was preparing to bombard Wuchang City, he thought that Zhang Bin was the same as Xiong Wencan and Yang Sichang, looking at the city and sighing, so he could only reluctantly accept his fraudulent surrender.

Zhang Bin has indeed behaved like Xiong Wencan in the past few days, looking at the city and sighing, he is there every day to "pretend" to build siege equipment, and there is no posture to attack Wuchang City at all.

In fact, he was waiting for artillery ammunition and chariots, he was not "pretending" to build siege equipment, he was really building siege equipment, just waiting for the artillery ammunition to arrive, he would let Luo Ru understand that any city defense was a joke in front of him!

After four days like this, more than 200 wheels finally transported artillery ammunition and chariots, looking at the pile of old chariots on the river, Luo Rucai didn't understand at all what Zhang Bin meant.

Can chariots storm cities?

It is certain that it can, but a fortified city like Wuchang must not be able to be broken by chariots alone, what is Zhang Bin fooling around?

He couldn't see some wooden wheels on the river unloading ammunition from the light ironclad ships, and he had to pee his pants in fear to see the boxes of artillery ammunition.

Zhang Bin really doesn't know very well whether the 500-pound Franc cannon on the light ironclad ship can destroy the arrow battlements and women's walls on the city wall, but it doesn't matter, even if the 500-pound Franc cannon can't be destroyed, he will order someone to transport a batch of 2,000-pound Franc machine guns over, anyway, it will only take a few days to go back and forth, and he can afford it.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, Zhang Bin didn't know that the tendon was wrong, so he suddenly gathered an army of 50,000 and placed it outside the south of Wuchang City.

When Luo Rucai heard the news, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up from the bed, put the armor on his body indiscriminately, and ran to the southern city wall with a smoke.

He took a closer look at the city wall, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the officers and soldiers didn't look like they were going to attack the city, but like they were practicing something, this Zhang Bin was too boring, there was nothing to let people run to the city wall to come to practice, they were full of food!

Luo Rucai raised his head and yawned, and was about to go back to sleep, but he didn't expect that a loud noise suddenly sounded on the river.

With a "boom", a black dot smashed into the city wall at high speed, and in a blink of an eye, a soft "pop" sounded on the city wall.

Luo Rucai's jaw was almost frightened by the sound of artillery, he opened his mouth and looked at the city wall that was hit, nothing happened, is this Zhang Binxian's egg pain or the artillery on the river is misfired?

Luo Rucai was extremely annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to do anything, forget it, there was no damage anyway, I don't have the same knowledge as this guy.

Is there really no damage?

Zhang Bin carefully looked at the landing point of the shell with a telescope, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

The surface of the wall appears to be undamaged, but a closer look reveals that there is a pit about an inch deep where the shells have hit, which is enough, because the battlements and the women's wall are almost a foot thick, and at most two feet thick, that is, as long as more than ten shells are smashed in the same position, a hole can be smashed.

This seems to be very difficult to do, because the light battleships are parked on the river, undulating, and it is basically impossible to keep the shells at the same landing point, but it doesn't matter, he has many ships and more guns, and more than 500 light battleships can concentrate their firepower to smash a section of the city wall, and the raindrops of shells continue to smash over, and there are always some repeat landing points.

He saw Luo Rucai in the telescope who dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend.

This guy dares to play trickery with himself, okay, just scare and scare him, and see if he dares to play tricks in front of him.

He directly ordered all the light ironclad ships to aim at the city wall below the city gate tower, and keep bombarding, bombarding him for two days first!

Luo Rucai began to yawn again at this time, he belongs to the typical overwork type, it is really torture for him to get up so early, but his so-called labor is not for military affairs, but on the belly of a woman.

Although Luo Rucai is a man of wisdom and righteousness, he has a problem, that is, he is greedy and lustful, he was poor in the past, and he couldn't even marry his daughter-in-law, so he could only watch other people's daughters-in-law drool, and when he became the leader of the thieves, he was like an upstart, and the concubines accepted one after another, and when the rumors were the most, there were even no less than 100 beauties around him, and all of them were like flowers!

This guy, hundreds of beauties, plus he is greedy and lustful, at night, he can't be tired and paralyzed.

Therefore, he rarely gets up early, and usually sleeps until three o'clock in the morning, and he is woken up just after this hour today, and he is simply sleepy.

He yawned one after another, and as a result, as soon as a yawn came out, there was another loud bang on the river, this time it was different from the last time, this time it was a real loud bang, more than 500 artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and the momentum was simply earth-shattering!

At this time, Luo Rucai finally stopped feeling sleepy, the black pressure of the cannonball smashed over, so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly jumped to hide under the arrow stack, and then, there was a burst of crackling thoughts, there were not many cannonballs that fell on the city gate tower, because Zhang Bin ordered to aim at the section of the city wall below the city gate tower, and only some shells that missed their heads would fly to the city gate tower.

However, Luo Rucai didn't think so, he thought that Zhang Bin wanted to kill him.

This Zhang Bin is too insidious, this guy may have seen himself on the city gate tower, so he let people open fire, as long as he bombarded himself to death with one shot, this Wuchang City will be in chaos, and someone will really open the city and surrender at that time.

This guy is so poisonous!

He was scolding Zhang Bin in his heart for being insidious and vicious, and there was another loud noise on the river, and countless cannonballs smashed over, but this time, there were fewer and fewer cannonballs flying up the city gate, and most of the crackling sounds were concentrated on the city wall below.

What's going on here, could it be that the officers and soldiers who fired the artillery were too poor?

It shouldn't be, even if they are on the right track, so many shells, not to mention too many, it shouldn't be difficult for dozens of rounds to hit the city gatehouse, right?

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was another loud bang on the river, and countless shells smashed over, but this time, not a single shell hit the city gate, and the sound below became more and more intense.

What do the officers and soldiers want to do, Luo Rucai mustered up his courage, looked down, and looked down, lying on the trough, I don't know how many black shells fell on the city wall below, which looked numb.

He looked at those shells, and the whole person was stunned, what a strange, what does Zhang Bin mean by this?

He was in a daze, when there was another loud noise on the river, and countless cannonballs smashed over, so frightened that he quickly retracted his head, and there was a chaotic sound below.

This time, he waited for nearly a stick of incense, and he didn't hear the roar of the artillery, he couldn't help muttering in his heart again, could it be that this Zhang Bin wanted to fire a few cannons to scare and scare him?

This is not a joke, he even dares to rebel, and he will be afraid of these artillery battles, although the sound of this artillery battle is a bit scary, it is impossible to scare him into surrendering!
