Chapter 92 is at ease
A large number of officers and soldiers suddenly emerged on the city wall, in groups of three or five, forming a formation and easily killing the rogues who climbed the city wall.
Ma Bao was dumbfounded. It's rare.
On weekdays, when attacking the city, before approaching the city wall, the officers and soldiers on the wall will open fire cannons and shoot arrows; Once the ladder was erected, the officers and soldiers would desperately throw wood and stones and gold juice and water under the city to prevent the rogues from climbing the city wall.
Once the Liukou climbed the city wall, the short-handed encounter, few officers and soldiers were the opponents of the Liukou vanguard, and the city was not far away.
But now the defenders of Wuchang City seem to be deliberately allowing the rogues to climb the city wall and engage in short combat. Where did the officers and soldiers get their self-confidence?
Marble was furious. The defenders of Wuchang City are too arrogant, and they don't take the rogues too seriously!
me. Ma Bao was ruthless, urging the rogues to keep climbing the city wall from the ladder.
The population is a complete expendable to the rogues. As long as you wave your arms and give you food, hundreds of thousands of people can gather casually.
Ma Bao decided to use his life to consume the strength of the officers and soldiers. Even if ten rogues are exchanged for one officer and army, I believe that the final victory will also be rogue robbers.
In fact, Liu Wenxiu's army numbered nearly three thousand people.
When Zhu Shunming led the army to fight in the southwest, Liu Wenxiu was stationed in Changsha and was responsible for public security, taxation, conscription, and military training.
Zhu Shunming returned to the division from the southwest, and hurried to Wuchang, where all the recruits who were originally to be assigned to various thousand households were assigned to Liu Wenxiu and brought to Wuchang together. Therefore, Liu Wenxiu's army has exceeded the establishment of a thousand households, with nearly 3,000 people.
Ma Bao's pioneers were less than 5,000 people, and he carried only twenty or thirty ladders. As the besieging party, Ma Bao did not have an advantage in terms of troops and equipment at all.
Therefore, although the rogues kept climbing up the city wall through the ladder, the officers and soldiers formed a formation, and the rogues who climbed the city wall were constantly picked up and dropped under the city in an orderly manner, and they coped with it very easily and easily.
………………
The sun hung obliquely in the sky, and the weather became clear. The dense water vapor changes into colorful patterns under the sunlight. Wuchang City gradually became clear and clear.
Zhang Xianzhong saw on the flagship that the battle in the west of Wuchang City had entered the white heat, and his own soldiers kept pouring up the city wall, thinking that the city was about to be broken. Zhang Xianzhong's blood was surging, and he felt fluttering.
Shaanxi Liukou uprising, Zhang Xianzhong is not the first, not the strongest one, nor the most prestigious one.
Wang Ershouyi, Wang Jiayin is the most famous, Gao Yingxiang is the strongest, the five battalions of the left are the most united, and Luo Rucai is the most cunning.
But if he can take Wuchang, Zhang Xianzhong will immediately attract the attention of the world and become the first rogues to conquer the provincial government.
Thinking that he could sink Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, into the river and sacrifice the river, can blaspheme the concubines of the king of Chu, and can cut off the head of the Zhu family's bloodline, Zhang Xianzhong was very excited.
Why can the old Zhu family be able to fish the people, but the old Zhang family cannot? Why can the fat pig of the old Zhu family sleep with a beautiful wife and concubine, but not the old Zhang family? What kind of prince will Xiangning have? The emperor's throne Lao Zhu sits, and Lao Zhang also sits down.
"The whole army is out and ready to enter the city." Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "Winning Wuchang, Ma Bao will make the first contribution." ”
According to experience, as long as the city wall is attacked, there is a chance that the city will be broken.
"On it, don't seal the knife for seven days......"
"Capture Fang Kongzhi alive, capture Zhu Huakui alive......"
"Take Wuchang Mansion, one person and one load of valley ......"
"There are many beauties in the palace, Ren Er rubs and touches ......"
The rogue on the ship began to get excited, shouting all kinds of slogans, speaking in various accents, holding jagged weapons, jumping ashore from the side of the ship, cheering and shouting towards the Wuchang city wall.
………………
Ma Bao calmed down from his madness, only to find that the blood under the west city wall of Wuchang had gathered into a small stream, which was constantly flowing; The corpses of the rogues under the city wall were piled up half a foot high, and it was very terrifying, and the rogues who had not lost their breath were pressed into the corpses and kept wailing, miserable and desperate; Twenty or thirty ladders are intact, still on the city wall, like a bridge of helplessness, seducing the soulless rogues to the infernal hell.
Ma Bao broke out in a cold sweat. Obviously, the strength of the officers and soldiers exceeded the estimation of the rogue, and the courage of the officers and officers of the officers was also beyond Ma Bao's calculations.
The officials and soldiers did not make much noise on the city wall of Wuchang, but they opened a huge net and wiped out all the rogues and pioneers who climbed the city wall, and none of them missed the net.
Wuchang City is a trap!
The main force of the Liukou appeared in the west of the city with an excited shout. Seeing the corpses piled up like a hill, seeing the river of blood raging like a stream, and seeing the city gate that was still clinging, the main force of the rogues was dumbfounded.
After a long time of emotional trouble, Ma Bao's vanguard has not yet taken the West City Gate. Could it be that Ma Bao was weakened by Zhang Shaodeng's (former Yingcheng Zhixian) daughter?
"Mabao, can you do it? No, I will be on the old congratulations. Our old He is not weak. He Jiuyi sneered.
He Jiuyi has a good relationship with Sun Kewang, and has always been at odds with the Ma brothers. When he was in Yingcheng, he was robbed of Zhang Shaodeng's daughter by Ma Bao, which caused He Jiuyi's great dissatisfaction. He Jiuyi would not let go of the opportunity to ridicule and attack Ma Bao.
Ma Bao's rare difference He Jiuyi argued. He walked towards Zhang Xianzhong and said in frustration: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and have not taken Wuchang." But ......"
“…… Wuchang City is a trap. The officers and soldiers have sinister intentions and want to gather us together and annihilate them. My lord, let's retire from the army......"
Ma Jinzhong smiled: "Little Pony, why are you so depressed? Are you the butcher of Hong in Wuchang City? Except for Butcher Hong, who have we been afraid of? If Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, is in Wuchang City, we will just serve a pot. ”
Zhang Xianzhong's face was tigerish, his yellow face was very gloomy, his triangular eyes were shining with fierce light, and he said calmly: "Ma Bao, why do you say this?" At the moment of the war, alarmism is alarmist, but it is a big crime to cut off the head. Is there really a strong enemy in Wuchang City? Do you know who the defenders on the wall are? ”
The breeze blows, the big flag of Zhu characters flutters in the wind, and the black Zhu characters are particularly conspicuous. There is also a blue-black flag, with a big character in the middle, dancing with teeth and claws, dancing in the wind.
"Zhu? Liu? Zhu Shunming's subordinate general surnamed Liu? Who do you know? Zhang Xianzhong never put Zhu Shunming in his eyes, so he was naturally not familiar with Zhu Shunming's generals.
If it was replaced by Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, he would not be so easy to underestimate the defenders in Wuchang City.
When he was in Shaanxi, Zhu Shunming's combat effectiveness and fighting will in the defensive battle of Hancheng made Tian Jianxiu, Hao Yongzhong, Liu Zongmin, and other generals of Li Zicheng's department sigh and be shocked. Zhu Shunming's brutal and invincible image also penetrated into Li Zicheng's heart.
It's a pity that Zhang Xianzhong has never fought with Zhu Shunming, nor has he ever fought against him, so he naturally regards Zhu Shunming as an ordinary Ming general. Can an unknown general soldier, with thousands of men and horses, withstand the sudden attack of his own army of 100,000?
After asking around, no one knew who the banner with the word "Liu" on the city wall was.
Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said heroically: "This Liu Zi banner looks very pleasing to the eye, who will take it for this king?" ”
"The lower officials are willing to go." He Jiuyi was the first to stand up and respond.
He Jiuyi glanced at Ma Bao contemptuously, spat out, and sneered: "When Ben will take Wuchang City, he will definitely leave you a rough girl." Don't think about the beauty of the palace......"
He Jiuyi's troops replaced the disabled Mabao troops and started the siege again.
