"Our army gathered under the city of Yangqu, there is no room for a moment's delay, pass my general order, all departments today rest for a day, order all departments to artillery arrays, alternate battles, each with earth walls and sand and gravel cover, constantly attack the city wall, harass the officers and soldiers, the rest of the departments, select and transfer elite soldiers and horses, in the city wall officers and artillery fire outside the drill threat, so that they are exhausted, can not rest.

These days, Li Jing has conquered many cities, especially the Lanzhou City captured by Zheng Renbao and others, and captured a large number of craftsmen and gunpowder raw materials.

and then gave a stable family guarantee, allowed them to break away from the craftsman's status, and immediately gathered the hearts of the people, and then the well-known gunpowder formula in the later generations was carefully explored, and then Li Jing made the package explosives made during the Liberation War in later generations.

Although the power equivalent to the weight of gunpowder is not enough to compare, but fortunately, the power and stability of explosives are much higher than those of gunpowder wrapped in lead or iron sheets in the past, and it is placed on a wheelbarrow and mated with thatched cotton, which is not easy to spontaneously ignite and self-detonate, and it is convenient to transport.

But Li Jing is not a professional weapons engineer after all, limited rectification, can only make limited improvements to the composition of black powder, after all, many chemical raw materials are not very good at self-sufficiency, and the Ming Dynasty's own firearms are extremely powerful, only need to improve the process and production.

These days, I have sent someone to supervise and make a batch of black powder packs wrapped in cotton and linen, and sent them to the Yangqu camp, and asked people to guard them, and now it is about to come in handy.

Holding a sharp weapon to break the city in his hand, Li Jing was full of confidence, and directly commanded, "Where is Zhao Mosheng?!" ”

"In!" Zhao Mosheng came out of the queue when he heard the voice, but he said in his heart This time, it was different from the past, and it was time for his family to die, so he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, preparing to take over this task that must have heavy casualties.

"Your troops and horses, located in the east of the city, have a good rest tonight, tomorrow morning, if you hear three cannons in the south of the city, then the whole army will go out to attack the east gate with all your might, and you must make sure that the officers and troops must not send reinforcements to the other gates!"

"Yes!" Listening to Li Jing's sonorous words, Zhao Mosheng only felt that his blood was on his head, and he immediately roared angrily and agreed, and stepped aside.

"Zheng Renbao! I order you to be the commander of Ximen, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and listen to the sound of cannons, and immediately attack Ximen very urgently! ”

"Whoa!"

"Liang Sijiu! I order you to patrol the battlefield, lead all the horse teams, and rank in the south of the city to monitor back and forth, covering the flanks of the army! ”

"Whoa!"

"Li Fugui! I order you to temporarily control the north gate, set up more flags, confuse the officers and soldiers, only listen to the sound of cannons, and the army will be dispatched, but there is no need to attack the city, just disturb the sight of the officers and soldiers immediately! ”

Li Fugui suddenly heard this, and immediately felt speechless, every time it was his turn, it was always like this, thankless, rewarded for meritorious deeds, and his own family was always at the bottom, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Jing's military order, so he could only agree to come down.

"Where is Gu Pu and Gu Hui!"

"In!" The Gu family brothers were immediately overjoyed, and I am afraid that they may have some credit for it.

"You two each choose three hundred elites, rank in the south of the city, just wait for the city wall to collapse, be the leader of each army, and rush to the city with all your might!"

Just this sentence suddenly made the generals in the camp stunned, what's the matter? Didn't you have auditory hallucinations at home? Collapse of the city walls? How can I do it?

"Lord, could it be that we have found the weak point of the city wall, but we can't break it with cannons?!" Zhao Mosheng couldn't help it, and asked at the exit.

"Hmph, I dug several civil tunnels before, each under the city wall, the officers and soldiers thought that we were trying to dig the ground and steal the city, it was a strict defense, but unfortunately the time of this earth law has passed, I have found a wonderful method, this afternoon, cover up with the sound of cannons, select strong people to enter the road, set up medicines, just wait for tomorrow to fight, you can make the sky and the earth crack, and the official army will collapse!"

Li Jing Chengzhu was in his chest, and he was not disgusted by Zhao Mosheng's words at all, and this firm expression infected everyone present, making their hearts full of fighting spirit, and they went down to prepare......

"General You, the thieves are mobilized everywhere, there are no less than tens of thousands of people on the east and west sides, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the north.

Wang Kefan hid under the battlements worriedly, and from time to time he went out to look at the muzzles of the guns that kept emitting white smoke outside the city, and he couldn't help it, and said this to You Renlong, who insisted on going to the city wall to investigate in person.

You Renlong was calm at the moment, just glanced around, and then said coldly, "Family, country, and society, today, it's nothing more than to repay the country with death!" What is the panic, order to go down, only send a general flag soldier to the city to monitor, the rest of the men and horses are all hiding, if the thief army dares to rush to the city, it is bound to resist! ”

"Whoa." Wang Kefan has relatives, but at this moment, what good way can there be, when he set off, there were hundreds of cavalry under his command, and today, after more than 20 days of defending the city, after continuous attrition, coupled with the sneak attack of the battle out of the city, it was damaged, and now it is intact, only 500 people and horses.

And the Yangqu defenders, the good fighters are only hundreds, most of them are temporarily recruited from the yamen errands, the private soldiers of the big clan and the residents in the city, finally gathered enough 3,000 soldiers, although the money and food can be received for a while, but the soldiers and horses are fighting less and less, from time to time there are the timid, for the cannon iron nail hit, it is even more aggravated panic, people's minds change, if it is not for the strong pressure, I am afraid that the thieves would have taken the city.

Yangqu as the capital of a province, in the past there were not even a few thieves, today to call a siege, almost there is a danger of breaking the city, how can there be defense in the city, coupled with huge psychological fear, for a while the rules and regulations are messed up, all parties are involved, ten percent of the combat power, at most seventy percent, naturally not a large number of thieves opponents.

Although You Renlong is the son and son of You Shilu, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, and has the title of deputy general, he should be the highest military commander in Yangqu City, but this dynasty has been using literature to control military forces since ancient times, not to mention the imperial history of the city, the military preparation of the Yamen and the prefect's yamen, and there are also political envoys and envoys to the Yamen, there are no less than dozens of civil officials, where is the turn to get the command of You Renlong.

Seeing the constant strifes and entanglements, You Renlong simply looked for an errand and sent himself to guard the city gate, and those civil officials, seeing that he was so happy, simply did not come to him to discuss unless it was a major matter.

"If the thief army attacks the city on a large scale, there will be a bloody battle, and at that time, you will take your personal guards as a daring army, and you must resist the thief army landing in the city everywhere!" You Renlong is also unable at the moment, the strength of the thief army is almost dozens of times that of his own, if he gains a firm foothold in a city wall, he can rely on it and continue to pour in, and it will be over at that time.
