Chapter 108: Li Xin's Advice
He Renlong couldn't persuade Wu Kexiao when he saw it, so he had to order Dong Xueli to follow, so as not to really have an accident with this artillery Qianhu.
Wu Kexiao walked three hundred steps, looked very carefully in the direction of the city wall, and when he heard someone on the city wall shouting, "Who is it?" Then he turned around and ran back.
As soon as he saw He Renlong, he said: "Fortunately, I went over to take a look, and now I finally figured it out, General He, do you see that pier?" The third pier counted from the door to the left. ”
"See."
"When I got closer, I realized that the wall on the right side of the pier was an earthen wall, but it was covered with a layer of bricks." Wu Kexiao explained.
"So what?" He Renlong asked.
Wu Kexiao further explained: "Earlier, the city wall of Nanzhang was made of earthen fortresses, and later after reinforcement, it was replaced with a stone wall. The part I saw just now was the wall of the earthen ramparts, although it was only a small section, and if we bombarded it with artillery, it would soon collapse. ”
He Renlong finally understood, and he asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Wu Kexiao said: "I am going to divide the 100 Buddha Lang machines into four groups, each of the twenty-five doors as a group, and place them in different directions, so that you can bombard this section of the earthen city wall from different angles." I need General He to send someone to cover our entry into the position, and if necessary, I also need you to help transfer the Franc cannon. ”
He Renlong agreed: "This is easy to do, as long as I can blast the city wall open for me, I will definitely send someone to cooperate." ”
……
Three days later, Dai Guozhu refused to surrender, and He Renlong gave an order, and Wu Kexiao's 100 Franc machine guns all entered the position.
Wu Kexiao stood on a high slope, holding four small flags of red, green, blue, and black, waiting for He Renlong's order.
He Renlong waited until his troops had entered the predetermined position, and then ordered the artillery to be fired.
Wu Kexiao waved the red flag, and the first group of artillery rumbled, a puff of black smoke rolled up in the air, and dozens of iron bullets smashed into the city wall; Immediately after that, Wu Kexiao waved the green, blue, and black flags in turn, and the second, third, and fourth groups of artillery groups let out rumbling cannons in an orderly manner......
Suddenly, the smoke filled the sky, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall fired countless arrows at the artillery group, trying to stop the speech of the Franco's cannon.
Under the repeated bombardment of four groups of artillery at different angles, the city wall was pierced through a hole in the wall, this break point was calculated by Wu Kexiao in advance, only to see that this section of the city wall collapsed staggeringly after losing the fulcrum.
"Dog's balls, rush them all in!"
The attacking troops that had already been in place, like wild horses breaking free from the reins, poured into Nanzhang City like a tide.
He Renlong rode his horse and galloped, shouting and rushing into the city, he held a spear in his hand, all the way to the county yamen, the fifty-year-old guard Dai Guozhu stood alone in front of the door, and saw He Renlong scolded: "He is crazy! You disloyal and unfilial man, wait for the old man to take your life today and remove your evil obstacle for the emperor! ”
Dai Guozhu swung his knife and slashed at He Renlong, He Renlong fought with a spear, you came and I fought in one place, Dai Guozhu suffered a loss in his age after all, and gradually became at a disadvantage.
He Renlong is chasing his life with guns and guns, it seems that he has to take Dai Guozhu's old life, who called him so stinky, Dai Guozhu is self-defeating.
Sure enough, He Renlong forced Dai Guozhu into the corner of the door, and a shot was stabbing him in the arm, only to hear a "click" sound, and the shot penetrated the iron elbow pad and broke his muscles and bones.
Dai Guozhu was in pain for a while, gritted his teeth and pulled out the tip of He Renlong's spear, and the tip of the spear brought out muscles, broken bones and bloodstains.
"Dog's Ball!" He Renlong didn't wait for Dai Guozhu to breathe, and another shot swept towards his head, poor Dai Guozhu's helmet was swept to the ground, and his brain was sprayed on the ground like tofu flowers, and the whole person fell off the horse, and died with a whimper.
As soon as Dai Guozhu died, all his subordinates laid down their weapons, and Guo Jincheng also surrendered.
After Gao Junshan took Nanzhang, he connected Fangxian, Baokang, and Nanzhang together, and he transferred all the men and horses of Fangxian back to Xiangyang, and called Fangxian, Baokang, and Nanzhang to He Renlong for defense, and at the same time increased He Renlong's strength to 30,000.
After solving Dai Guozhu in Nanzhang, Gao Junshan began to prepare to solve Liu Guoneng in Gucheng. On his way back to Xiangyang, he was walking parallel to Li Xin on a rugged mountain road.
The two horses went hand in hand, Gao Junshan knew that Li Xin had something to say to himself, so he took the initiative to greet Li Xin: "Li Gongzi, today I occupy Xiangyang, just like Liu Xuande occupied Jingzhou back then, how to plan next, Li Gongzi has a plan in his heart?" ”
Li Xin said: "King Qin, I have an idea in my heart to discuss with you. ”
"Oh? Please Li Gongzi take his time. ”
"Today, our army has established a foothold and has a territory, but in order to gather the hearts of the people, it is necessary to have a program of action and slogans."
Gao Junshan asked: "What is Gongzi Li's opinion?" ”
Li Xin said: "The people who suffered the most in the siege of the city were the local people, and after the war, they were often hungry and without food and clothing. If the King of Qin can think about the people and reduce taxes for three years in every place he visits, I believe that the people will open the door to welcome the King of Qin. ”
Gao Junshan reined in the horse's head, stopped to look at Li Xin, and Li Xin also stopped the horse's head, waiting for Gao Junshan's reply.
Gao Junshan said eagerly: "Let's get off the horse and discuss this matter." ”
The two got off the horse and found a big stone on the side of the road and sat down side by side, Sun Kewang also dismounted, standing on guard not far away, and the marching team continued to walk forward.
After the two sat down, Gao Junshan said: "Li Gongzi, I know that you are very intelligent, I heard that you also wrote a "Song of Persuasion" in Qi County? But I don't know what it is. ”
Li Xin said modestly: "The letter is sparse and shallow, and the song "Song of Persuasion" is a general work and is not worth mentioning. ”
Gao Junshan said solemnly: "I know that this "Song of Persuasion" is a masterpiece that cares about the suffering of the people, how can it be said to be a general work? ”
Li Xin knew that no matter how modest he was, it would be hypocrisy, so he hurriedly took out the "Song of Persuasion" he wrote from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Junshan, who looked at it seriously:
In the coming year, locust droughts will be frequent,
Chewing seedlings are not on the board.
The rise of rice grains has increased several times,
Li Min is struggling everywhere.
Grass roots and leaves are full of belly,
The children cried to each other.
The axe and dust fly to the stove,
It's hard to find a meal of porridge for days.
The government levied grain and the tiger was poor,
The wealthy family collects debts like wolves.
Poor remnants breathing,
The soul is buried in the spring first.
Skeletons are piled up like mountains,
It is difficult to overcome hunger.
Can not teach the number of walks,
Is it still a little bloody?
I advise the rich to give alms,
There is no grace in Tailun.
Dry bones are reborn and reborn,
A good thought of heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth selflessly bless the good,
Good people are virtuous and blessed.
Great meritorious service in helping the poor and relieving the poor,
Dehou Liuguang Yu descendants.
