After listening to Li Xin's words, Zhu Changyuan thought deeply for the first time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yes, he didn't have capital in his hands before, so he naturally couldn't talk about any big ambitions, but now that he has capital, a certain nerve in his heart was suddenly touched, and his thinking and posture instantly became different.

First of all, it is a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty court and Chongzhen become enemies.

If you want to realize your ideals, to complete the tasks of system delivery, and to lead the entire Ming Dynasty into the prototype of modernization, these are not easy, but you are sneaking around in secret, and you don't know when and when it will be completed?

However, if his own political ideas are put on the surface, will Chongzhen agree? Will the officials of the Ming Dynasty agree? Will the people of the world agree?

No!

So what to do?

What should I do if I encounter resistance?

These are just some of the reasons.

Ever since he saw the beautiful and beautiful former queen Zhang Yan in the capital, he fell in love at first sight, but the problem between the two was even greater.

First of all, Zhang Yan is the queen, Zhu Changyuan is a courtier, and secondly, Chang Yuan is an uncle, and Zhang Yan is a nephew and daughter-in-law.

If it is said that the political ideal may still have a 1 in 10,000 possibility of being realized, but Zhang Yan's gap can never be crossed, not only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will oppose it, even the people of the world will not tolerate it.

And how?

There is only one answer, that is, the power of ten thousand people is overwhelming, and when they are angry and the world trembles, who else dares to say it?

"I don't want to be like this, however, Emperor Taizu's development of the country has only been more than two hundred years. As for Si, General Ben really couldn't bear it. ”

"Ben Jiang is very upset now, everything is up to you." As he spoke, he took out the white cloth in his arms and handed it to Li Xin. bought one and got one free, gave him a holy decree that Wang Qianqiu brought to arrest Xiong Wencan, and turned around and walked away. Come to the camp of the Broken Captives.

After a series of short trainings, Zhu Changyuan combined the 8,000 elite soldiers brought by Li Xin and the 10,000 horses brought out from Fang County by the captives, and camped outside Gucheng.

After the army was arranged, several main backbones held a meeting, and Zhu Changyuan said: "Now we are stationed outside Gucheng, although there are many people but too little food and grass, I am afraid it will be difficult to last, what is your good plan?" ”

"There's no good idea." Wang Wu stood up and said, "Master." Give me 5,000 men and horses, and I'll go and take the whole nest of valley city. ”

"!" When Zhu Changyuan heard the words of this goods, he couldn't help but burst into foul language, and said: "Siege is not a competition, it is not brave, it depends on wisdom." ”

Naturally, Zhu Changyuan thought of the siege artifact he had used in the previous attack on Shenyang Wei! To be honest, that thing is really useful, and now it doesn't take twenty cars, but three or five cars can easily break through the walls of Valley City.

But there is one inconvenience.

The last time I attacked Shenyang, the siege car was stoned by this guy Duoduo. Not to mention the potholes in the upper armor, the wheels below are also in disrepair for a long time and are unusable.

I can't even push it now. Also make a yarn.

If it is taken to the modern society to cultivate, I am afraid it will take at least three or two days of effort, but at present, the soldiers are short of food and grass, and it is difficult to hold on even for two days.

"You must bring down Gucheng today!" Zhu Changyuan left a sentence and made the rest of the people ponder.

The key to threshing city is two points, either the city wall is broken, or the city gate is broken, or there is an inner city in the valley city that should open the city gate for itself and rush in.

There must be no inside, and you can only count on the first two methods to enter Valley City. As for letting the soldiers climb to the top of the city and fight hard, this method is too stupid. Zhu Changyuan said that it would not work.

There is no siege artifact, although the walls of Gucheng are not as thick as Shenyang. Zhu Changyuan had no choice, it seemed that he could only think of it from the city gate.

Thinking of the city gate, Zhu Changyuan smiled.

A note came to his mind again.

Isn't it the city gate? Simple.

As long as the door is made of wood, as long as it is made of wood, you can do one thing: burn!

Of course, it is not possible to burn the gate directly with fire, because the wood used as a city gate is not the kind that can be ignited at will, otherwise the ancient people would have burned it thousands of times.

However, in Zhu Changyuan's eyes, this method is feasible.

You can't point it, do you? It's okay, I can add some spice to it, gasoline!

"Wang Wu!" The people below were still trying to figure out how to discuss one by one, Zhu Changyuan suddenly stood up and said to Wang Wu: "Attack the city at lunch and burn the door!" ”

"Yes, master!" No matter what it was, Wang Wu agreed first, and then asked a little puzzled: "Master, what is burning the door?" ”

As soon as Wang Wu asked, the rest of the people also turned their heads to look at Zhu Changyuan, looking puzzled.

"General!" Li Xin said: "Although the city gate is made of wood, it is not easy to ignite, I am afraid that this method will not work!" After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, the wooden door is covered with iron sheets, and it is difficult for fire attacks to be effective. ”

"It's okay." Zhu Changyuan stood up with a smile and said, "Wang Wu still has Kong He, prepare to attack the city at noon, I will go and prepare some necessities for you to light the fire, so that you can burn the door easily." ”

+++++++++++

Zhu Changyuan walked out of the door, found a hidden place, opened the system and had fun, there was no need to go back to modern society at all, there was a large iron drum of gasoline on a carriage in his system, or the kind of barrel that could hold 600 liters.

A large barrel of gasoline was taken out of the system and placed on the ground, and the soldiers were asked to buy more small pottery jars from nearby farmhouses, each containing four or five liters, for a full one hundred and fifty jars.

At noon, let Poyu, Wang Wu, and Kong He, together with all the soldiers here, pick up all the soldiers here and walk towards Gucheng.

Stationed at the gate of the east gate of Gucheng, looking at the city wall with a height of only three sheets, Zhu Changyuan smiled, pointed to the gate opposite and said to Wang Wu beside him: "See, two hundred steps away is the enemy's city gate, although it is covered with iron sheets, but it is useless." ”

"See, master!" Wang Wuyi was a little unaccustomed to his military uniform, pointed to the soldiers guarding the city opposite, and said: "Those soldiers are not enough for me to kick with two feet, why does the master want to attack the city, I let me kill it first!" "Wang Wu has been transformed by Zhu Changyuan's skill book, although his skills are not as good as his master, he can still jump onto the city.

"Your method is too slow and dangerous, and if the enemy has a large number of crossbowmen, it will be difficult for you to get out." When Zhu Changyuan said this, he looked at the cart full of jars behind him, and said, "Poyu, Kong He, and Wang Wu, take the jar in your hand, and smash it on the city gate for me near the city gate." ”

"Yes!" The three of them took a few soldiers who were also fully armored and pushed the cart to a short distance from the city gate, picked up the jar on the cart and threw it at the city gate.

"Bang bang!" The jar flew over the space of more than ten zhang, fell straight on the city gate, and shattered in an instant, and the gasoline in it flowed out naturally.

"Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang"

The three of them fell happily for a while.

"Shoot!" The soldiers on the gate tower of Gucheng were not vegetarians, and after seeing the three of them within range, they organized a team of archers to shoot at the three of them.

However, the three of them were covered from head to toe with iron armor except for their hands, so they naturally did not fear the rain of arrows from the enemy at the head of the city, and after a single smash, six hundred liters of gasoline were stained on the gate and the land under the city gate.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, the three of them retreated.

When the three of them retreated safely to Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan said to the soldiers beside him: "Take a hard bow!" The soldiers in the back immediately presented the prepared hard bows.

"Open" Zhu Changyuan took the bow and shot the arrow, and pulled the hard bow into a full moon, but it seemed effortless.

"Ignition!" As soon as the words fell, a soldier used a lighter to light the oil-soaked cotton cloth wrapped in the arrowhead, and suddenly a large cluster of flames burned on the arrowhead.

"Go!" Let go of the bowstring, and the rocket flew out like a meteor, carrying the flames towards the gates of Valley City.

Three seconds later, a sky-high fire burned under the city gate.

Although most of the city gates were wrapped in iron sheets, a small half of them were exposed, and the small half of them were stained with gasoline, and in less than three minutes, the wood that was not easy to burn burned brightly.

"Hahaha." Zhu Changyuan looked at the fire and laughed, and said, "It's a big thing!" ”

Li Xin next to him sighed and said: "The general is really a god, so just wait for the fire to be extinguished, General Kong can lead the iron cavalry to break into the city first, and the army will follow, Zhang Xianzhong will be captured for us." ”

。。。

"Firefighting, firefighting!"

There was water at the head of Gucheng, but there was not so much water, and it was poured down from the city, and it could not be poured to the ignition point, so although Zhang Xianzhong's troops were also busy organizing firefighting, it did not have much effect.

Ten minutes later, the fire gradually subsided.

Twenty minutes later, the fire was extinguished and burned clean.

There were only a few pieces of black iron sheet left under the gatehouse of the city gate, and as for the wood, it was all powder, and at the same time, the east gate of the valley city was opened.

"Brothers, listen to me and rush in with me." Zhu Changyuan stretched out his hand and raised the mace, waved it forward, and rushed into the city first.

This was followed by two hundred iron horsemen.

"Kill!"

Zhu Changyuan's troops were like wolves.

And the soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong in Gucheng were originally considered to be the best in the rebel army, but unfortunately they were repeatedly plundered by Zhu Changyuan's cavalry, and they had already been frightened of their courage, how dare they fight.

Not to mention the soldiers, even Zhang Xianzhong himself and his generals, when they heard that the city gate was breached, they were all frightened and fled like lost dogs, and when Zhu Changyuan's soldiers had not yet entered the city, he packed up the soft in the marshal's mansion and prepared to run away.

Once he heard that Zhu Changyuan had broken the city, he immediately ordered someone to open the west gate, and then left 20,000 troops behind, and he only fled with 10,000 horses and fled towards Yunyang.

"Hold on, hold on to me, and don't allow his Zhu Changyuan's soldiers and horses to follow." This is Zhang Xianzhong's departure, no, it is an order given to Ainengqi before escaping.

Ai Nengqi led the remaining 20,000 people, and the main task was to block Zhu Changyuan's cavalry and prevent them from pursuing. (To be continued.) )
