Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Chapter 106: (Shenji Battalion)

On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month of the fourth year of heaven, at the beginning of the hour, the sun shone on the earth, and the entire battlefield suddenly fell into silence, and everyone was waiting for Shangguan Yin Feng's order, ready to attack the south gate of Luoyang at any time...

The south gate of Luoyang, is the strongest of the four gates of the outer city, after Gongsun Long ascended the throne, changed the south gate to 'Fengtian Gate', because it is facing a plain, from a strategic point of view, its outer city is unusually strong when it is built, coupled with the maintenance of the past dynasties, it is more stable...

The reason why Shangguan Yin Feng chose this place as the target of attack is that the first is to facilitate the deployment of the army, and the second is to use this Fengtian Gate as a breakthrough, if even the strongest and most solid Fengtian Gate is captured, then the other four gates will have no place to use, and they will be under Shangguan Yin Feng's sword at any time...

Therefore, the outer four gates choose Fengtianmen as a breakthrough, which is a strategic step, if Shangguan Yin Feng does not have a Shenwu cannon in his hand, it is estimated that he will consider it carefully, the key is that now the artillery has been formed, and it can be said that it is easy to capture this kind of city gate, and the urn city tower in Yichuan County was blown to pieces, not to mention the urn city tower of Fengtianmen...

At this moment, the urn of Fengtianmen is upstairs

Because Shangguan Yin Feng's attack focused on Fengtianmen, Zhang Dong transferred Zhang Shuang, the former general who is now the most capable of fighting in Luoyang, to Fengtianmen and appointed him as the defender of Luoyang, and Fengtianmen has an army of 100,000, which is enough to resist the attack of the princes' coalition army...

Zhang Shuang stood on the tower of the urn city with a serious face and looked out, except for the soldiers who were pressed by the black, he could no longer see the place where he had time to come out, and what made him very dissatisfied was that at the most critical moment, Zhang Dong actually released Yuan Huan from the prison and let him temporarily take command of the matter, and led an army of 50,000 to be used as backup; He would have had the opportunity to become a great Sima, but unfortunately, Zhang Dong had to take into account the opinions of some people in the court, although Yuan Huan had lost the battle before, but his military command attainments were indeed much higher than Zhang Shuang...

"The order goes down, the whole army is strictly ordered to be garrisoned, and it is not allowed to go out of the city to engage the enemy..."

Just thinking about it, Yuan Huan walked up to the urn tower accompanied by the guards, and the soldiers along the way all saluted Yuan Huan, Zhang Shuang came back to his senses, and out of courtesy, he had to bow to Yuan Huan: "Da Sima..."

"This time, the princes' coalition army came from afar, and the coalition army is 180,000, and the follow-up food and grass will inevitably be insufficient, once they retreat, they can go out of the city to fight with it, and they will win..."

Indeed, the cost of grain and grass for 180,000 people a day is not ordinarily large, even if you save food, you will pay the corresponding food, and all the food and grass maintenance of the coalition army this time depends on the alliance leader Shangguan Yin Feng, who is the convener, so he naturally has to bear this heavy responsibility...

It's a pity that Yuan Huan thought about one thing wrong, in the past three years, Shangguan Yin Feng has been focusing on grain in addition to vigorously developing the military, Shaanxi, Henan and other northern and border areas, due to weather reasons, its main grain crops are millet, and rice cultivation is rarely because of land; In addition to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the southwest are suitable for large-scale planting, there is no way to plant if the water source in other places is insufficient, especially in this era...

Therefore, Shangguan Yin Feng planted rice in a wide range of Sichuan suitable for rice planting, and its grain harvest was quite abundant, and in the surrounding areas of Nanyang, all the fields close to the water source were also ordered by Shangguan Yin Feng to plant all rice, that is to say, now the soldiers in Shangguan Yin Feng's barracks eat not corn, but fragrant rice, its energy is higher than corn, and the soldiers have enough strength to fight on the battlefield after eating...

Of course, among the princes, the soldiers who can eat rice can only be the main general's personal guards and elite troops, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers can only eat corn, rice is the food of rich families or upper-level officials, that is to say, they can be soldiers under Shangguan Yin Feng, in addition to being able to eat rice and be full, they can also get silver, which is completely incomparable with other princes, which is also the reason why Shangguan Yin Feng recruited troops so quickly in Sichuan and Nanyang...

"Humble obedience..."Zhang Shuang Weinuo agreed, seeing Yuan Huan's departure, his heart was uncomfortable for a while, and he turned his head and left the urn tower after a few words...

It was his departure that God destined him to avoid this catastrophe...

"The order goes down, the army is ready to attack, tell General Gao, let him follow closely and coordinate..."Shangguan Yin Feng said methodically to the herald beside him...

"Ignition..."

A slight burning sound sounded, ten roars in succession, and the soldiers on the Fengtian Gate saw a burst of fire coming from the position of the coalition forces not far away, and then a group of black dots flew towards them, how did they know what it was, and some people even wanted to use their hands to see what was flying after seeing it...

Boom boom...

Ten explosions sounded, and the urn tower of Fengtianmen suddenly flew into the sky, and the soldiers standing on the city were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and a cannonball hit the city gate impartially, and the city gate weighing hundreds of pounds was suddenly blown open a big hole...

Where did the soldiers on the city tower know what was going on, they only knew that they were rushing to flee for their lives, and just before they could recover their senses, Shangguan Yin Feng had already ordered the army to attack...

Because the city gate was blown open a big hole, and the explosion of the cannonballs frightened these soldiers who had never seen the world and even forgot to resist, some ran directly back to the barracks on the edge of the city, and some stood in place and watched the shattered companions on the ground...

Rushing to the front is the cavalry troops led by Cao Zhen, if you look carefully, you can see at a glance that the dozens of cavalry in the front are holding cans of things in their hands, and there are things burning on them, that's right, Cao Zhen's forward dozens of cavalry are holding fire oil in their hands, just when they are close to the edge of the city, the knight holding the fire oil tank grabbed the reins, and threw the fire oil tank in his hand towards the city gate and the city wall, and then the explosion and burning scared the soldiers at the city gate and the city, In a short time, Fengtianmen became a mountain of corpses and a sea of fire...

Shangguan Yin Feng held the night gun in his hand, and rushed in the middle on a horse, followed by Jinyi Wei, and behind him was a black-clothed musket team: "Quick..."

Time is of the essence, if the defenders of the city gate come to their senses and forcibly block the entrance to the city gate, their experience will be miserable, first of all, not to mention the casualties of the city gate, once blocked at the entrance of the city gate, the soldiers on the city tower can attack with stones and rolling logs, and their casualties will increase exponentially...

"Lord..."Jia Fu is Cao Zhen's backup team, and at this time, he is hurrying towards Shangguan Yin Feng, and the spear in his hand is already stained with blood: "Lord, General Cao has entered the city, the enemy army is fiercely resisting, and our army is surrounded inside and cannot get out..."

"What?" As Shangguan Yin Feng thought, the defenders had recovered from their initial confusion, and now they surrounded Cao Zhen, who was alone in the city, and his situation was very dangerous: "Jinyi guards guard the musket team, quickly, follow me..."

"Roar..."

Shangguan Yin Feng strangled the rope only a dozen meters away from the city gate, and the musket team lined up neatly under the cover of the infantry of the Shenji Battalion holding shields, marching towards the city gate, and the follow-up tens of thousands of troops followed closely behind, and the archers shot arrows at the city tower one after another, suppressing the opponent's offensive...

Shangguan Yin Feng dismounted under the escort of the Jinyi guard and came to the city gate, between which there was already a mass, Cao Zhen's three thousand cavalry were now engaged in foot combat, blood flowed out of the city gate, looking at the scene in front of him, Shangguan Yin Feng suddenly sounded the moment of the battle of Xingyang that year: "Ready to shoot..."

Since the musket team had already set up a position, the defenders at the gate of the city saw that there were people from outside the city, and the leading captain beckoned people to turn around and raise their guns to kill the gun...

Seeing this, the captain continued to beckon people to kill the gun, and the second wave of gunfire rang out again, and more than a dozen people fell, and after those people fell to the ground, they all made a muffled sound, and then they died, and there were small holes in the body that flowed out streams of blood...

The lieutenant finally couldn't bear it, he didn't know how the dozen or so people with black sticks and strange costumes in front of him killed dozens of people under him, and after screaming, he threw away the weapons in his hands and ran towards the city...

Of course, the people who saw this scene were not only the captain, but also the crowd behind him, seeing the captain fleeing, the rest of the people also went crazy and rushed to the back...

Due to the limited arquebus, Shangguan Yin Feng developed a strategy of attacking in turns, that is, each wave of attacks is ten people, and the front is an echelon of one hundred people, divided into ten waves of shooting, in addition to killing and injuring the enemy, the most important thing is to play a deterrent effect, and the left and right flanks are an echelon of fifty people on each side, divided into five waves of shooting, so changing, can buy enough time for the soldiers who are loaded with gunpowder and ammunition after the shooting...
