As the main force of the capture of Zizhou, Lu 30 was very excited as the commander of the forward battalion.

At the beginning of the formation of the Weiyuan Army, Zhang Chengfan talked to him once, and for his future, Zhang Chengfan recommended him to the Weiyuan Fifth Army as the commander of the forward battalion.

With him in the forward sequence is Xuanyuan Mingguang, this rich son of Shuzhong led Shuzhong Jin Luanwei to make great contributions when the Weiyuan army captured Chengdu, so His Royal Highness King Ji specially appointed him as the commander of Weiyuan's fifth military camp.

Xuanyuan Mingguang is very enthusiastic about people, and this person is serious, far from the hip-hop attitude he shows on his face.

The daily training of the whole army is very hard, and he is very serious about it, and he earnestly asks Lu 30 for advice if he doesn't understand, and never puts on a show. He never relied on his own great achievements to give birth to pride. Therefore, Lu Thirty was very satisfied with him and devoted himself to fellowship with him.

Xuanyuan Mingguang looked at the city of Zizhou not far away, the Dongchuan army was not in order, and his demeanor was not very excited, he didn't feel a little proud. Turning to Lu Thirty, he said: "Commander Lu, look at the Dongchuan army at the head of Zizhou City, they are already like this before we start fighting, if our artillery is bombarded, they will be the same as yesterday, and they will not dare to show their heads when they shrink their heads." ”

Lu Thirty nodded with a smile, and then excused himself: "What Commander Xuanyuan said is that this time to attack Dongchuan, the king is intent on a quick victory. So today's siege should be very intense, and when the siege begins, you have to be clever and don't be shot by those eyeless stray arrows at the head of the city. ”

"Don't worry, didn't the king say, 'Good people don't live long, and disasters live for a thousand years', and you want to live a few more years for such a scourge."

Lu 30 looked at the ruffian look on Xuanyuan Mingguang's handsome face, and couldn't help but think of King Ji, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: This guy has the same temperament as the king, and he is very serious about doing things, but he is usually all kinds of ruffians. Xuanyuan Mingguang can stand out, it should be because he is very similar to the king.

The golden autumn and September are mostly cool weather, and the climate is more pleasant in Shuzhong. As the horn sounded to prepare for the attack, Lu Thirty nodded with Xuanyuan Mingguang, and then began to supervise and inspect the equipment of his sergeants, and cheered up his soldiers.

Xuanyuan Mingguang also did the same job, as a newcomer to the battlefield, their battalion did not fight yesterday, but just watched the friendly army attack the city from afar, and felt the newcomer of the battlefield, and he had a new understanding of the war.

Today is the time for him to lead his subordinates to attack, if you say that you are not nervous, it is false, but he is not a junior brother who has not experienced anything, in order to relieve the tension he began to take a deep breath, while he adjusted his mood, he found that many of the sergeants in his camp were more nervous than himself.

He immediately realized that he couldn't be nervous at this time, otherwise his nervousness would be transmitted to his subordinates, so he took a deep breath and shouted to his soldiers: "Attention brothers, the war is about to start, and I find myself very nervous. I know that many people have been on the battlefield before, and you must have more experience than you, so I want to ask how to eliminate tension? If you know, teach so-and-so, don't want to be thrown into the battlefield. ”

Xuanyuan Mingguang's words made the originally nervous sergeants in the battalion breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and their own commanders were nervous, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about being nervous.

Since the battalion commander asked, the bold soldier immediately shouted loudly: "Just drink a drink", "It's better to get a mother-in-law", "Think about the mother-in-law and children at home, it's really not okay to think about your own mother-in-law, Aye".

"It seems that you brothers really have more experience than a certain one, but this is a battlefield, and there is no way to drink and women, but it is not good to think about the wife at home, because a certain age has not yet married a wife, and there is no sweetheart. Oh, I can only think about the old lady at home, but the old lady is very ugly, and when I think of her old man's old face that is comparable to a ghost, I am even more afraid. Thinking of her old man reaching out and shouting at So-and-so, come on, So-and-so almost peed his pants. ”

Xuanyuan Mingguang's words made the sergeants in the battalion laugh out loud, "Haha, Xuanyuan is so funny!" ”

After laughing, they slowly understood that the battalion commander was deliberately reassuring everyone, so that everyone could forget the tension, so many sergeants cast grateful eyes at Xuanyuan Mingguang.

Xuanyuan Mingguang saw that the morale of the sergeants in the battalion was uplifted, he smiled with relief, and then continued: "It's good for the big guy to laugh, but when it comes to the battlefield, the requirements for some other are not high, as long as the big guy kills the enemy well and comes back alive, so-and-so still wants to go back to meet that ugly girl, can the big guy do it?" ”

Xuanyuan Mingguang's words immediately received a unison response from the soldiers in the camp, "Yes, so-and-so will return safely!" ”

Lu Thirty heard the shouts from the Xuanyuan Mingguang camp in the camp, he immediately smiled knowingly, and then said softly: "This kid is quite a set. ”

The trumpet rises again, and the time for the attack has arrived. Lu Thirty Xuanyuan Mingguang immediately led his subordinates to start advancing. The task has been issued, and their two battalions are divided into the attack sequence at the east gate of Zizhou City.

Today, the south gate of the main attack of the Weiyuan Sixth Army is the focus of the attack, and the east gate is not the main attack surface of the attack, and their two battalions were sent to the east gate because most of them are recruits this time.

In this arrangement, it can also be seen that King Ji, Zhou and Zhang, the two commanders, did not have much hope for the East Gate, and their purpose was only to contain the defenders of the East Gate. Therefore, the generals who command the East Gate today are Wang Jian and Lu Yanhong.

Wang Jian looked at the sky, and then nodded to Wang Mingda, the head of the guard beside him, who immediately ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet and issue an attack order.

Lu Thirty and Xuanyuan Mingguang, who received the order, immediately led their men to the designated place. After arriving at the designated location, they began to wait for the signal of the exclusive artillery battalion of the Wind and Fire Left Army.

The Wind and Fire Army was a battalion-level establishment written by King Ji himself, so the Wind and Fire Army was expanded immediately after returning from Tibet. Because this army had the grace of King Ji, after the establishment of this battalion level was expanded to the number of people at the brigade level, King Ji ordered the Wind and Fire Army to be divided into two armies, the left and right.

Later, the Weiwu Army was rebuilt, and King Ji ordered the left army of the Wind and Fire Army to remain under the Weizhou Army sequence, and the right army of the Wind and Fire Army entered the Weiyuan Army sequence, and both teams were directly under the jurisdiction and not subordinate to any army.

This attack on Shu, King Ji specially ordered the two armies of the beacon fire to follow the army into Shu, and played a great role in deterrence and attack in Shu, this attack on Zizhou City, Zhou, Zhang two commanders ordered the left army of the wind and fire army to split the two sides to attack the east gate and the west gate, and the right army of the wind and fire army attacked the south gate with the Weiyuan Sixth Army.

When Yang Liu heard the horn of the attack, he immediately ordered his men to start igniting. The artillery of the Wind and Fire Army is generally not large, black and swarthy, the length of the cannon body is about one foot eight (about 62cm), and the caliber is half a foot (about 15cm), such artillery belongs to the most basic mortar artillery.

At the beginning of the casting of Weizhou, all of them were cast with copper, and now in the past two years, the Weizhou workshop has overcome technical difficulties, and after the successful casting of iron, the entire Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Office is very happy, after all, copper coins are too scarce.

During the siege, you can beat a five-pound solid stone egg, or you can beat an iron egg. If you are facing a human or horse team charge, you can use the Tiger Squat Cannon to shoot lead shots.

It was now a siege, so the soldiers of the Wind and Fire Army immediately took out the solid round stone bullets they had made and reloaded, and then began to ignite them.

"Boom, boom" cannons rang out one after another, and the city of Zizhou immediately became a panicked scene. They dodged the roaring stone bullets, which were so ferocious that they immediately broke people into several pieces, and if they hit the battlements of the city gates, the cracked stone chips were even more deadly, and many people were struck by the flying stone chips.

Lu Thirty and Xuanyuan Mingguang saw that the artillery of the Wind and Fire Army was working, and immediately shouted to their subordinates: "Follow the rush!" ”

The head of Zizhou City saw that the Weizhou army under the city began to attack, but they didn't have the courage to show their heads and shoot arrows at the city, after all, their own lives were more important.

The leaders of the Dongchuan army also spared their lives, they knew that in the face of the brave and invincible Weizhou army, it was only a matter of time before Zizhou City was captured, but they did not dare to disobey the strict orders of Yang Shili of the festival, so they had no choice but to get the monk who struck the bell on the city wall to deal with the errand, and waited until the Weizhou army artillery stopped and immediately shouted at the defenders to release arrows.

Lu Thirty and Xuanyuan Ming's naked soldiers bravely marched forward, and when they came to the city wall, there were not too many defenders at the head of the city to stop them, and the sparse feathered arrows did not cause too many casualties to their side.

After the soldiers set up the ladder, many soldiers immediately began to climb the ladder, and after Lu Thirty watched the situation at the head of the city, he grabbed a shield and followed up the ladder, he wanted to rush up to set an example for himself and his subordinates. Xuanyuan Mingguang saw that Lu Thirty was so brave, and he was not ambiguous, he called the soldiers to set up a ladder, and he also began to climb hard with a hand shield.

Yang Liu saw that his soldiers had begun to climb the wall, and immediately waved his hand to stop the artillery bombardment under his men.

As soon as the defenders of the city saw that the enemy's artillery had stopped, they immediately came out of their hiding places, picked up the stones and hot oil that had been prepared long ago, and began to defend against the invading Weizhou.

When Lu 30 climbed halfway, many soldiers had already fallen down the ladder with screams, and only a few were able to climb to the top of the city, and began a life-and-death struggle with the defenders.

The first to climb the city were all very brave soldiers, but they were obviously at a disadvantage at the head of the city, and if the comrades behind them did not respond in time, most of the pioneers were sacrificed.

By the time Lu Thirty grabbed the battlements of the city gate, he had already heard the screams of the people on the city and the moans of the wounded, he took a deep breath and blocked a chopping blade with his hand shield, and stabbed the defender in the neck with a backhand, and then he pulled out his horizontal knife, and then jumped onto the head of Zizhou City.
