At the time of the third watch, outside Zhangde Mansion, Liang Zhendong's army, which had already been prepared, had already prepared to attack the city, but unfortunately, what disappointed them was that the Wu army stationed in the city was worthy of the elite left by Wu Sangui, and no one dared to be lazy, all of them held weapons in their hands, and their eyes were round and looking around.

Fortunately, this time, they have long been ready to fight a tough battle, after all, the act of stealing the city, if you can succeed once or twice, it is already considered luck, if you want to rely on luck to fight all the time, it can only be achieved by the legendary Cheng Biting Jin possession, especially in this cruel era of cold weapons, any opportunistic behavior is self-defeating.

"Da Da Da

The soldiers of the Wu army stationed at the head of the city of Zhangde Mansion, in the middle of the night, suddenly heard a loud sound of horses' hooves from the city, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they hurriedly tied torches and looked at the city, and then found three horses, thinking about the city gate galloping, and at the same time, the knight on horseback was still sitting on horseback.

"Who are you, why did you come to Zhangde Mansion late at night, stop quickly, and report your name, otherwise, we will shoot bows and arrows." Seeing the galloping horses, one of the chiefs above the city opened his mouth and shouted loudly, and as he spoke, he ordered the bow to be bent, and the target was the horse on the horse.

Of course, although the words of this leader were harsh, but he was not alarmed, he thought that this was a messenger who came to report an urgent military situation or some kind of people who were in a hurry because of something important, but he did not connect these with the enemy, you know, they got the news that the Wu army on the front line had completely surrounded the Ming army in Luoyang City. The current Ming army in Shaanxi, let alone coming to attack Zhangde Mansion, I'm afraid that they won't even be able to get out of Luoyang City, so what are they afraid of?

However, the leader of the Wu army at the head of the city soon found out that something was wrong and saw it. After hearing his shout, the three horses, which were already galloping fast, galloped even faster, and the horses on the horses did not intend to stop, but quickly whipped their horses and rushed towards the city gate without saying a word.

"It's not good, enemy attack, shoot arrows quickly. Shoot them for me, and you go and ring the bell for me, and quickly ring the bell to inform the commander-in-chief that the enemy is coming. "The commander of the Wu army at the head of the city is also an experienced person, and when he saw the abnormal behavior of the knights under the city, he immediately reacted quickly.

Following the order of the commander of the city, he heard the sound of a breaking wind coming out, and then he saw it. In the light of the fire, sharp arrows that shone with cold light. The knight, who was rushing towards the city, shot over. Accompanied by the sound of arrow rain was the sound of the copper bell of 'dong dong dong', and with the sound of the copper bell, the originally quiet Zhangde Mansion was instantly chaotic.

The arrows at the head of the city were shot down like a rain of arrows. But the three knights under the city, who were not good people, saw them take out from the sacks of the horses under them, a shield that had been prepared long ago, which was specially filled with tung oil from light wood. The shields made from drying are not only lightweight, but also quite durable, and most importantly, they have a huge protection range, which can protect the entire horse's head and horse's horse.

In an instant, they saw that the surface of the shield, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, was covered with a rain of arrows, but the horses under them did not suffer any damage, but ran faster under the knock of the knight on the horse.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the three fast horses have run to the place not far from the gate of Zhangde Mansion, but at this time a strange thing happened, I saw that I was riding on a horse, but suddenly I was in shape, and I fell from the galloping horse, seeing this situation, the Wu army at the head of the city was also stunned, and even some people made a cheering sound, thinking that the three horse knights were shot to death by them.

But the facts soon told them that the situation was not as they imagined, although the horses had rolled down, but the three horses were still galloping rapidly, and the speed was still increasing, in just a few breaths, they saw three galloping horses, slamming into the city gate, and even the strong city gate made a trace of shaking, if this is the case, it is nothing, and soon the Wu army above the city head was completely shocked.

"Boom Boom"

The sound of a landslide cracking completely startled them, and three thunderous noises sounded at the city gate, accompanied by the flames that rushed to the sky, and the bright light that flashed at night even made some soldiers' eyes feel stinging.

"Ah, this can't be, this can't be, how can this be, what kind of witchcraft is this." When all this calmed down, Wu Jun above the city found that the tall, sturdy, and heavy city gate of Zhangde Mansion actually fell down like a rag after a few explosions just now, and the originally closed city gate now looked like a black hole, with no protection at all.

This is the reason why Liang Zhendong dared to capture Zhangde Mansion with a few thousand people this time, since the Ming army already had grenades, how could there be no explosives bag, but unfortunately, because the gunpowder at this time was still some black powder, and the power of explosives could not be compared with the power of gunpowder in later generations, besides, in the past, Shi Lei was weak because of his strength, and others attacked him and used it to defend the city, or it was convenient for grenades, and there was not much use for explosives bags.

But now it is different, in the era of cold weapons, the siege of the city wall has been the most difficult thing since ancient times, if the people in the city, want to resist with the city wall, it is very unfavorable for the army attacking outside the city, therefore, there is also written in the book of war, 'ten to surround it, five to attack it'.

For the Wu army stationed in Zhangde Mansion, today may be the darkest day of their lives, when they were still in the shock of the city gate being blown up by a mysterious thing, bursts of shouts of killing came to them from far and near.

If the city gate had not been blown up, these Wu troops might not have felt frightened because of these enemies who appeared suddenly, after all, no matter how many enemies came, all of a sudden, as long as they held the city, then safety could still be guaranteed, but now, the city gate has been blown open by the enemy, first of all, from the heart, they are already a little timid.

"Don't panic, the archers stay at the head of the city and stop the enemy, and the rest of the people, follow me to the city and stop them, as long as we hold for a quarter of an hour, reinforcements will come." At the critical moment, the commander of the city opened his mouth to order, and the Wu army, which was originally a little restless, also obeyed his orders one after another.

"Brothers, the time has come to get promoted and make a fortune, remember, if you want to eat and drink well in the future, if you have a beautiful woman to serve, you will kill me without dying, whoever kills more enemies, this official will tell Lord Shi and reward him heavily."

When the commander of the Wu army above the city was ordering the soldiers, outside the city gate under the city, Liang Zhendong was also shouting loudly, boosting morale, of course, the Shaanxi Ming army was trained according to Shi Lei's methods in later generations, but it was only similar to the form, not like the gods, when you usually let them not disturb the people and help the people do things, they can still understand, and even use military law, but on the battlefield, this will not work, at this time, what big reason do you give to these soldiers who don't even know the big characters, it is simply nonsense, Now there is only one way that can make them improve their morale and fight bravely to kill the enemy, and that is to be promoted to become rich and the temptation of beautiful women.

Sure enough, with Liang Zhendong's shout, the Ming soldiers who had been a little tired after a thousand miles of marching had red eyes, and the hands that were originally holding the steel knife became harder, taking advantage of this morale, the Ming army broke through the simple defense formed by the Wu army in the city in one fell swoop, and chased and killed the Wu army, which was already frightened, and cut melons and vegetables, and even some Ming soldiers, after the rise of killing, rode horses and killed along the steps of the city wall to the city.

Originally, there were not many Wu troops stationed in the city at night, only a few hundred people, in fact, their responsibility is to play a preventive role, after all, if the enemy really kills, the garrison army in the city can be arrived in the time of two pillars of incense.

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but they didn't expect that they would meet Liang Zhendong, a group of people who don't play cards according to common sense, and they actually blew up the city gate directly as soon as they came up, and rushed in so smoothly. As more and more Ming troops outside the city rushed into the city, the Wu army near the city gate finally became less and less, except for a very few brave people, who were still resisting stubbornly, the rest of the Wu army either took advantage of the chaos to escape into the city, or died directly on the battlefield.

"Hurry up, Liuzi, you lead the team to stay behind to clean up the enemy at the city gate, and at the same time control the city gate, we will enter the city now, find a way to annihilate the enemy in the city, if it can succeed, forget it, if there is any accident, your place, but the only way for us to escape, remember to control the city gate." Seeing that there were no more enemies at the city gate, Liang Zhendong, who had just entered the city, gave a few orders to the six sons on the side, and then rushed towards the city with a large group of soldiers, and the direction was where the military camp of the Wu army was located.

Regarding the situation in Zhangde Mansion, when Liang Zhendong came, he had already received accurate information from the nightingale in the past, and the important places in the entire Zhangde Mansion were clearly displayed in his mind? Compared with the government office, or the prefect and others, Liang Zhendong still values the Wu army's barracks the most, and only when all the Wu soldiers in the Zhangde Mansion are solved can the Zhangde Mansion be really taken.
