Chapter 70: Jingyuan's First Enemy

The officers and soldiers under Zhu Zhijian were frightened and set up the ladder on the city wall of Jingyuan, but they couldn't hear the sound of Jingyuan City's counterattack, and they were overjoyed one by one, and when they planned to accept Jingyuan directly, they looked up and found it

The ladder is still a big section away from the city wall of Jingyuan, and the soldiers of Jingyuanwei are holding crossbow arrows and firearms, looking at the officials and soldiers under the city as if watching a play, and the Ming army attacking the city is stupid, and Zhu Zhijian is also stupid, and he does not consider the height of the city wall of Jingyuan at all

Zhu Zhijian had no choice but to collect his troops and go back to prepare for another battle on the ladder, at this time Zeren Ze Shengzi Mo Zhu Youlang and Ma Shiying also went to the city wall

Zheng Jue couldn't help laughing when he looked at Zhu Youlang and Ma Shiying's panting appearance, forgetting how embarrassed he was just now

"Damn,, when I came to this city wall last time, I didn't think it was so high," Zhu Youlang stammered, and his breath was not even even

Zheng Jue said in his heart, last time you came on foot, this time you are running, you can do the same

"Look at the seat, look at the seat" Zheng Jue saw that the old man Ma was about to run apart, if there was something long, two short, Li Yue and Li Lin would not chop him alive

Zheng Jue hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Old Man Ma, and then watched the Ming army outside the city work hard to chop wood to build a ladder

Zheng Jue saw that Zhu Zhijian was quite smart, and ordered to cut one-third of the ladder into two sections, and connect it to the remaining two-thirds, which would soon be enough for the siege

Zheng Jue and a few people ate from the city wall, and in the afternoon Zhu Zhijian ordered the siege of the city again, Zheng Jue didn't plan to show mercy this time, he thought that Zhu Zhijian would drill Wuzhou City as soon as his head was cold, or his subordinates didn't want to kill him and cut him down directly, but he didn't expect Ya to come

This time he couldn't bear it anymore, and Zheng Jue ordered the whole army to prepare for battle

On the city wall, as all kinds of cannons roared, cannonballs poured down the city like rain, and on the city wall, soldiers armed with fire guns and crossbow arrows also returned fire

Jing Yuanwei's city wall is designed with two layers, and there is another layer that Zheng Jue did not plan to use, it was prepared for the Tartars, and Zhu Zhijian didn't need it

Some other soldiers took out a pot of hot oil and poured it down the city, and after a few shots ignited, Jingyuan City became a sea of fire

Some siege soldiers rushed to the gate of Jingyuan City with a siege cone, and slammed into the "Dong ~" A grand metal sound resounded through the sky, Zhu Zhijian didn't expect Zheng Jue to make an iron gate, the siege cone was smashed, and it was enough to smash in

In this battle alone, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and nearly a thousand people threw their lives under the city, Zheng Jue looked at these Ming troops incredulously, I don't know what force prompted them to attack the city so actively, could it be that he Zhu Zhijian said that how many virgins could he get after dying in battle for him?

At this time, if Zhu Zhijian hadn't seen that it was already late, he had to order the troops to be withdrawn, he didn't seem to care about how many people died under his command at all, and he was still drinking comfortably in the camp at this moment

Early the next morning, Zheng Jue took Zhu Youlang and Old Man Ma to climb up, and saw that the Ming army in the distance was attacking the city again, Zheng Jue saw that although the Ming army still came to attack the city today, there was a lot more reluctance on his face, and the whole army revealed a trace of slackness

In addition, Zheng Jue noticed that Zhu Zhijian didn't seem to bring any firearms, not even the tiger squat cannon for the siege, it seems that these troops did not come to take Jingyuan, but specifically to find death

After a few more days, even the gentry of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't stand it, the Ming army smashed the door every day, but it was not able to attack it, and I also heard that the Jingyuan guards had almost no casualties, and they took their families to the city wall****, by the way, to see what was going on in this battle

Even Li Yue and Li Lin secretly disguised themselves as men and fled to the city with Zheng Jue to watch the excitement, but after just a few glances, they fled home with a pale face

In the past few days, as the number of Ming troops is getting smaller and smaller, Zheng Jue noticed that every time the city is attacked, there are actually a large number of unusual people behind the battle, if 10,000 people attack the city, then there are about 1,000 people standing below, Zheng Jue doesn't know what such a large scale of the supervision team is for, just to force these soldiers to death?

Zheng Jue frowned, looking at the officers and soldiers who came to die day after day, and was puzzled

Finally, on this night, Zheng Jue was about to sleep, when suddenly a war report came into the house, saying that the Ming army outside the city was making trouble, Zheng Jue hurriedly got dressed and climbed to the city wall

Zheng Jue saw that there seemed to be a camp roar outside the city, and the Ming army camp had already exploded, Zheng Jue immediately ordered Sun Zesheng to take the official seal of the old man Ma to "take over" the Ming army camp

Two thousand light horsemen holding torches like a long dragon stabbing at the Ming army camp at night, Zheng Jue breathed a sigh of relief, this farce is finally over

In the tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Zhijian, who was protected by his own soldiers, looked at the soldiers in Jingyuan Town, who was approaching in the distance, and issued the last order, "The mission is over, the supervision team withdraws, and goes to Guangzhou" Then Zhu Zhijian disappeared into the night

Sun Zesheng held the official seal of the governor of Liangguang and the holy decree of the inauguration of the old man Ma, and rushed into the camp of the Ming army, "The holy purpose is here, and you will listen to the order"

The chaotic camp gradually quieted down, and after the quiet, the Ming army found that the once disobedient overseer had disappeared without a trace

"Adults, little ones are wronged! We didn't want to come, we were all forced by those **** overseers! With this sound, followed by a second and a third sound, the whole camp actually cried

Sun Zesheng sent a fast horse to Zheng Jue to report the incident, there were less than 10,000 people in the entire camp, and most of them were wounded soldiers, Zheng Jue asked Sun Zesheng to control the camp, and then ordered Jingyuan to lift the martial law order, and arranged for someone to escort the old man Ma to take office quickly

The more Zheng Jue thought about it, the more wrong it became, and then he found Shopkeeper Sun and Shimo, and asked the two of them to send people out to find Zhu Zhijian's traces

After the news was summarized, Zheng Jue was dumbfounded, the king of Jingjiang was plundered by Zhu Zhijian, and Zhu Zhijian's purpose in attacking Jingyuan was to throw all the soldiers and horses of the entire Guangxi under the city of Jingyuan, and the whole of Guangxi is now an undefended city except for Jingyuan, fortunately, Cao Ye secretly agreed with the Great Western Army to cease fire before, otherwise Sun Kewang would have been sitting in Guilin's governor's yamen drinking tea at this moment

Ma Shiying took over this mess in a daze, and he couldn't describe Guangxi at the moment, and Ma Shiying didn't even know where to start repairing it

Ma Shiying had no choice but to gather less than 10,000 troops who could still scare people, and first sent them to Liuzhou and Guilin to stabilize the situation, and then planned to transfer troops from Guangdong to stabilize the situation in Guangxi

After this incident, Zhu Youlang simply lived in Jingyuan and waited for the palace to be repaired, otherwise, he didn't know how to die if he stayed in Wuzhou
