In the camp of the Ming army outside the city of Ruzhou, the lights are bright.

Gao Yihuan was wearing black armor and holding a knife on his waist, standing in a big tent. The generals gathered around, looking at a pitch-black Datong in the middle of the big tent, and suddenly the oil lamp inside flashed, and several people came out of the hole.

"Dashuai, the gunpowder has been sealed and put away, and tomorrow I promise to lift the southern city of Ruzhou into the sky." Chen Huiting was pulled up, so he couldn't wait to give a gift to report.

Gao Yihuan nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, the big tent is discussed!" ”

After speaking, the guards opened the tent curtain, and Gao Yihuan took the lead out of the tent and led everyone to his tent.

At this time, in the big tent, many generals gathered together, the tent was lit with wax, and the air was a little hot, but everyone was unaware of it, and they gathered in front of a simple sand table.

The sand table is very simple, only the four walls of Ruzhou, and the streets in the city are relatively simple and have not been completely copied.

At this time, Gao Yihuan pointed to the sand table and began to make the final order, he glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, all the subordinates will go out of the camp and line up." Li Jiyu, you lead a battalion of new troops to attack the West Gate. Zhao Mingchong, you lead a battalion of new annexed troops to attack the east gate. Jin Shenghuan, Huang Bingzhong, and Bai Wenxuan are responsible for attacking Nancheng. Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei, Wang Guangtai, you ambush the army outside the northern city, ready to cover up the defeated army. ”

Jin Shenghuan and the others clasped their fists together, "Humble and orderly!" ”

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan's eyes fell on Jin Xiangang, "Sun Cheng's tunnel has been dug up, and Chen Qijian has already let people bury gunpowder." Tomorrow, after the various troops are arrayed, once the city wall is blown down, the stone throwers will all change the dressing bag and the earth-shaking thunder, and throw them near the gap, opening the way for the army to break into the city. ”

Gao Yihuan's plan was to blow up the city wall, throw bombs and earth-shattering thunder, and use this set of combination punches to completely stunned the enemy soldiers in the city, and without giving them time to react, the army has already broken into the city.

"Humble knows! When the army enters the city, there will not be a single enemy soldier standing in the gap! Jin Xiangang is full of confidence.

"Good!" Gao Yihuan sighed in admiration, his tone was sonorous, he swung his iron fist hard, and said loudly to the generals: "The Tartars and the rebels killed my comrades and destroyed my mine. This battle is not only to avenge the dead souls, but also related to whether we can gain a foothold in southern Henan, it is a crucial battle, only success is not allowed to fail! ”

"Success is allowed, not failure!" The crowd will be infected by the atmosphere and will clench their fists again.

"The key to this battle lies in a quick word. Dordort is less than two hundred miles away from us, so we must defeat the enemy in one day, and then prepare to meet Dordor. Gao Yihuan finally instructed, and then waved his hand, "Okay, everyone have a good rest tonight, and you must play majestic tomorrow." Ben Shuai wants to let the world know how powerful my Wei Wujun is. ”

In order to strengthen the cohesion of the soldiers and form an imaginary community, Gao Yihuan named his subordinates "Wei Wujun" in order to gain the sense of identity and honor of the soldiers.

In the early morning of the next day, after the Wei soldiers had a full meal, they went out of the camp under the leadership of the commanders of each battalion.

It has been nearly a month since the army arrived in the city during the first month, during which the new battalions took turns to participate in the feint, while the main force of the seven battalions has been recuperating.

There is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, and today it is time for the soldiers to serve, and the soldiers of the Wei army are also full of spirit and ready to gnaw this bone of Ruzhou.

At this time, the generals of the Wei army under the city cheered up their subordinates from time to time and explained the essentials of today's siege.

The artillery, stone throwers and other parts of the city were also ready, and boxes of sky-shaking thunder were carried to the side of the stone throwers and placed in the position where the soldiers could easily reach them.

Gao Yihuan used this thing when he was fighting Shouzhou, and felt that the lethality was far greater than that of artillery that fired solid bullets, so he ordered a firearms workshop to manufacture it on a large scale.

However, this thing also has a disadvantage, that is, the range is too close and the size is also large, if the opponent has enough artillery, then these trebuchets will basically become a live target for cannons.

This is also one of the reasons why artillery replaces the stone thrower, but Gao Yihuan doesn't have to worry about it now, the stone thrower has been destroyed, and the Jihe gun emplacements on Ruzhou City have long been knocked out by the red-coated cannons.

Outside the city, Gao Yihuan rode a horse between the various formations, and where he passed, the soldiers paid attention and shouted, "Handsome!" ”

Gao Yihuan kept raising his horsewhip and waving it in response, and the morale of the Wei army was ignited in a short time.

The movement outside the city naturally alarmed the defenders inside the city.

Early in the morning, Shen Zhixiang was woken up by Liu Zhong, and then went to the city wall together.

"Guogong, Gao Yihuan is going to work hard today. On three sides of the city, there are Gao Yihuan's soldiers and horses! Liu Zhong walked as he walked.

"Gao Yihuan's attacks have been blocked by General Liu these days, it is estimated that he is annoyed and angry, and he is going to make a desperate bet!" Shen Zhixiang said as he walked: "Is the main attack on Nancheng today?" ”

"That's right! There are the most people outside the southern city! Liu Zhong said with some flustery.

Shen Zhixiang listened to his tone and stopped, "General Liu, don't worry, once Gao Yihuan is desperate, Prince Yu's soldiers and horses can also move!" You are a person who has no way out, defend the city, you are the hero of my Qing Dynasty, if you can't hold it, Gao Yihuan will definitely kill you. You don't have to worry too much, just guard until the soldiers of King Yu arrive. ”

Liu Zhong plucked up his spirit and wanted to take the opportunity to show his loyalty, "Don't worry, Guogong can rest assured, if he fights with Gao Yihuan, even if the city is broken and he dies, he will never let Gao Yihuan have a good time!" ”

Shen Zhixiang glanced at him, and said secretly, "What are you talking nonsense?" I'm here to let you defend the city, not to die in a broken city. You've been on guard for a month, and you're still afraid of the last few days. ”

Liu Zhong hurriedly changed his words and said: "Don't worry, the prince of the country is bound to keep his humble duties until the prince of Yu arrives!" ”

"That's right!" Shen Zhixiang nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, go to the city to have a look, if Gao Yihuan really fights, then we have to send a fast horse to inform Prince Yu immediately!" ”

After speaking, he took a step and strode onto the city wall, and Liu Zhong hurriedly followed.

When he came to the city, Shen Zhixiang was stunned, no wonder Liu Zhong panicked again, it turned out that today's battle of Gao Yihuan was really much bigger than in the past.

He stood on the city wall and looked out over the city, but the scene in front of him was really terrifying.

Outside the southern city, there are more than 10,000 high-ranking soldiers, lined up into a square formation like a tofu block, in each phalanx, all the equipment is towering, the banner hunts with the wind, not far from the city wall, there are nearly a hundred stone throwers lined up, he can already imagine the picture of a hundred boulders smashing into the city.

Shen Zhixiang squinted his eyes and watched, a big flag fluttering under the city, and the high soldiers and soldiers under the banner were lined up in a neat rank, with black armor and cold and shining spears, making people dare not peep at this team.

Shen Zhixiang immediately noticed that the troops attacking the city today were very different from those of the previous days.

This made him look a little strange, smash it, smash it, and said in his heart, "After this battle, Gao Yihuan will be finished, and Liu Zhong is afraid that it will be abolished!" ”

"General Liu, you have a great responsibility!" Shen Zhixiang retracted his thoughts and sighed, "It seems that Gao Yihuan is really going to work hard, you guard the city, and I will let people inform Prince Yu." Longwanguan is less than two hundred miles away from Ruzhou, and before dark tomorrow, the soldiers of Prince Yu will arrive. At that time, we will be able to break Gao Yihuan by attacking inside and outside! ”

As he spoke, he patted Liu's shoulder and encouraged: "This is a rare opportunity for General Liu, I can't help but congratulate General Liu in advance. ”

Liu Zhong listened to his words, he was actually a little excited, he just wanted to express his determination, but suddenly there was a thunderclap underground, which sounded in his ears, shaking him to lose his hearing in an instant.

And at this moment, the wall under his feet seemed to rise and fall, as if it had been an earthquake, and instantly shook him to the ground.

Shen Zhixiang on the side was shocked by a sound like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, and sat on the ground, he saw that on the side of the city gate, the entire section of the city wall suddenly rose high, and then fell heavily, instantly filled with smoke and dust, and countless rubble flew around.

The artillery bombarded the city wall of Ruzhou for many days, and the moment it was set off by the explosion, it immediately collapsed, and there were three consecutive gaps, and there were hundreds of defenders on the city wall, no one was standing, and countless soldiers were pressed and injured by the masonry, and fell in the ruins wailing.

All this happened in an instant, and the collapse was already a mess.

"Scared grandpa to death! It's so fucking scary! Shen Zhixiang looked at the bombing place with a dull look, his face was confused, he couldn't figure out the situation, and the whole person was stunned~
