Text Chapter 880 Two Heads
The attack on Caomen was the 1st Regiment of the Independent Battalion Li Mou and the 2nd Regiment Fang Deng, Li Mou was Li Xin's cousin, and Fang Deng was the original subordinate of Yidougu.
There is a big difference in the personalities of the two, Li Mu was greatly influenced by Li Xin and was good at strategy, while Fang Deng's body had a lot of shadows of Yidougu, and he was known for his courage and hand-to-hand combat.
Now it is a siege battle, and the contest is the will and the determination to win, and it is difficult for strategy to play a role.
When Li Zicheng arrived at Caomen, Li Mou's troops were attacking the city, and Fang Deng's troops were resting in the rear, waiting to replace Li Mou's first regiment at any time.
Li Mu saw Li Zicheng riding a yellow-maned horse, and hurriedly ran over to pay respects, "Governor! ”
"No need to be polite," Li Zicheng waved his hand and asked Li Mu to get up, "How is it in the city, is the strength of the Ming army sufficient?" ”
"Don't worry, the Ming army's defensive strength is seriously insufficient, and even Huang Shu has personally gone into battle," Li Mu's eyes were already flashing, "Don't worry, Dadu Governor, his subordinates can take Caomen today!" ”
Li Zicheng nodded, looked at the city, and found a white flag fluttering in the wind, and smiled unconsciously: "Is this the big white flag erected by Huang Shu?" ”
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, this is the big white flag that says 'Bianliang Haojie, I am willing to set up this banner from my travelers'," Li Mou smiled contemptuously: "However, the 'Bianliang Haojie' who follows Huang Shu is rare, and he can't even eat his belly, what are you talking about?" ”
Li Zicheng smiled slightly and said, "General Li go, the governor of Pontus will watch at Caomen and tell the brothers, whoever pulls down this banner will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" ”
"Thank you, Governor!" Li Mu clasped his hands into fists and saluted, then turned around and ran away.
Coming to the city, Li Mu shouted at the soldiers who were besieging the city: "Brothers, work hard, the Metropolitan Governor is watching from behind, your military exploits will not be less," paused, pointed to the big white flag on the head of the city, and said loudly: "The Metropolitan Governor said, who can pull down this banner and reward a hundred taels of silver!" ”
"One hundred taels?" The soldiers on the ladder cheered, and the soldiers waiting for the siege under the ladder were also cheering, but their faces were full of regret......
The soldiers on the ladder are in good spirits, since the day before yesterday, there are soldiers climbing the city, although the city has not been broken, but the soldiers know in their hearts that the defenders on the city are already at the end of the crossbow, and may collapse at any time.
If you break the city today, it will be in your own hands, not only will you have military exploits, but also an additional hundred taels of silver!
Especially the ladder near the big white flag, the soldiers fought hard, the soldiers above had not been injured and retreated, and the soldiers below were waiting to go up the ladder.
Li Mu kept urging below, "Hurry up, kill, cut off the head of the Ming army, if it's too late, the reward of one hundred taels of silver will be robbed by others......"
The soldiers have done their best, the city is full of wounded soldiers, but they insist on holding the battlements and not retreating, the two sides are fighting desperately at the battlements, and the knives are slashed on the battlements, making a "clanging" sound!
Li Mu may be tired of shouting, and he will look around, but unfortunately, there is a fierce battle at all the battlements, and there is no sign of breaking the city.
Near an inconspicuous battlement in the north, the soldiers on the ladder slashed the wounded soldiers on the head of the city with a knife, and the balance was suddenly broken.
Several Ming soldiers suddenly surrounded them, the soldiers leaned against the city wall, held knives in both hands, and struggled to support, and the soldiers on the ladder, there was no obstacle in front of them, and they rushed to climb up.
In a few moments, four or five soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army had appeared on the head of the city, which was about the same as the number of Ming troops here on the city, and on the cloud ladder behind him, there was a steady stream of soldiers pouring up.
Huang Shu saw that the situation was unfavorable, and hurriedly sent the general Gao Lu with more than ten soldiers to reinforce him, Gao Lu shouted, shook his spear, and pounced on the Heavenly Mandate Army, and the soldiers behind him also followed.
The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven were killed by the superior Ming army, and although they resisted with all their might, buying time for the companions behind to climb to the top of the city, one of Gao Lu's spears was too sharp, and he assassinated one person and stabbed another in the thigh, and the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven were deeply encouraged, and the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven were forced to retreat to the daughter wall.
The soldiers on the ladder were blocked, and their climbing speed was slower, and they finally had to meet their companions to retreat from the city.
Li Mu saw it in his eyes, and unconsciously closed his eyes and sighed, his face was full of regret.
Although Li Zicheng was far away from the city wall, he was able to see the battle just now, and it had been more than an hour, and there were not many dangers on the city.
It seems that the Ming army at the head of the city still has a certain combat effectiveness.
At this time, the second regiment Fang Deng's troops went up, and Li Mou's troops withdrew from the ladder, and Li Mou came to see Li Zicheng with his soldiers and his head down.
"Victory and defeat are commonplace, General Li doesn't have to mind," Li Zicheng smiled and comforted Li Mou, "I have a treasure here, take advantage of this gap period, you send a few soldiers with loud voices to the city to shout, and break the hearts of the Ming army!" ”
"Baby?" Li Mu was puzzled, what treasure could break the military heart of the Ming army? However, since the Metropolitan Governor said it, he would naturally comply, and hurriedly summoned two soldiers with loud voices to come over.
Li Zicheng asked his soldiers to take out two packages from their horses, handed them to the two soldiers, and whispered a few words.
The two soldiers hesitated, but did so, and they took the two spears, opened the package, hung the head of the package on the spear, and ran down to the city.
The Fangdeng troops under the city had just been deployed in place and had not yet begun to attack the city, and the Ming army in the city had won a short period of rest.
At this moment, two soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army, carrying two heads with spears, shouted loudly under the city: "Brothers of the Ming Army in the city, surrender quickly, the Mandate of Heaven Army treats prisoners of war preferentially!" ”
"Huang Shu, Yan Yunjing and Bu Congshan of Hebei conspired to open the Yellow River embankment and release water, and we have already known about it, their heads are here, and you have no hope!"
The voices of the two were indeed very loud, not only the soldiers, but even Huang Shu heard them.
Huang Shu was shocked, only he and the governor Gao knew about digging the embankment and releasing water in the city, how did the Heavenly Mandate Army know about it? Could it be that the soldier who released the water was intercepted by the Mandate of Heaven?
Once the Yellow River bursts, the surrounding fertile fields are flooded, and the people suffer deeply, that is the sinner of history, to be punished by God, even if he can keep Kaifeng and rescue the King of Zhou, he will be impeached by the officials in the future, and the court will definitely not let himself go.
When it was decided to dig a levee to release water, it was to blame the Mandate of Heaven Army......
He quietly approached the city wall, poked his head out of the battlement, and looked down, but the two heads were rotating on the tip of the spear, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't know if it was Yan Yunjing and Bu Congshan.
The soldiers in the city naturally couldn't see these two heads clearly, even if they saw it clearly, they didn't know Yan Yunjing and Bu Congshan, but when they saw Huang Shu's expression and actions, they believed it.
Huang Shu stared at the head for a moment, his heart didn't move, and shouted loudly to the city: "You nonsense, who wants to open the Yellow River embankment? ”
Not to be outdone, the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army under the city also shouted: "If you are not preparing to open the embankment of the Yellow River, why are you building ships in the city?" ”
Another soldier followed: "Yan Yunjing and Bu Congshan respectively took thousands of soldiers to dig embankments in Zhujiazhai and Majiakou, and they were captured after we found them. ”
"Only you, Huang Shu and Gao Mingheng, know about the city, do you want to hide it from the soldiers in the city?"
"You are building ships in the city, and in the future, when the river floods Kaifeng City, you can escape by boat, what will happen to the people and soldiers in the city? Do you want to drown alive? ”
"You guys are so ruthless!"
"Brothers of the Ming Army, such a Huang Shu, are you still working for him?"
Huang Shu was speechless for a while, these two soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army spoke as if they were real, how did they know these messages? Could it be that the city is really the head of Yan Yunjing and Bu Congshan?
Although he didn't admit it, cold sweat was already breaking out on Huang Shu's forehead, and he carried the city wall on his back and secretly took out a handkerchief in his arms to wipe the sweat beads, but he couldn't speak.
At this time, a group of women came from under the city, ran to a place a hundred steps away and stopped, crying and shouting to the city: "Sanwa, the official is going to release water to flood our house and land, and you are still working for him?" You unscrupulous ......"
"Erleng, stop fighting, go out of the city, there are a lot of pancakes here in the Heavenly Mandate Army, and neither the child nor I will be hungry......"
"Sixi, if you want to work hard for these dog officials who have lost their conscience, I will ...... I'm going to marry somebody else......"
……
Among the soldiers at the head of the city, whether there are three children, two children, and four joys, no one knows, these women under the city, whether their families are guarding the city at the head of the city, even they themselves can't say, their men are in the city, and they may be on the head of the city at this moment.
But the soldiers at the head of the city, hearing these familiar voices, as well as the message that Huang Shu was going to open the embankment and flood Kaifeng, made them feel cold.
Now is the flood season, as soon as the embankment is opened, the surrounding fertile fields and villages will be submerged, how will the people live? This is more rapid than the drought, and many people will be swept up in the river......
Even Kaifeng City, which is slightly higher, will also be flooded, and houses and shops will be soaked by the river and will definitely collapse......
At first, they only believed seven or eight points, but when they thought of a few big ships in the city, they basically believed it all, if they were not preparing to open the embankment, why would they build ships in the city? Is it a boat in a moat?
Those who are in power only think about themselves, who cares whether the people live or die? When the flood came, they could escape by boat, and their own soldiers who shed blood and sweat for Kaifeng could only be swept away by the river......
Some of the soldiers took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people and sneaked down to the city, threw away their swords and guns, and ran home.
More and more soldiers fled, and they didn't even dodge, but threw away their swords, guns, and armor, and turned around and ran.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Huang Shu cut off the head of a deserter with his own hands, and shouted: "Don't listen to the gossip of the rogue to confuse the public, and if you dare to run away, kill the whole family!" ”
But the army's heart is scattered, even if the soldiers are forced to stay because of Huang Shu's obscenity, they will never fight to the death like just now, they have been betrayed, and they are still stupidly working for the officials?
Li Zicheng waved his hand, and Fang Dengbu immediately began to climb up the ladder, shouting, "Kill......"
"We only kill officials!"
"The rest of the soldiers and civilians don't ask!"
