Chapter 15 The Man is in the City
Boxes of silver were poured on the ground, white flowers shining in the sun with a seductive light, this is all Wang Lanping borrowed from the Du family, he only has to do this for nothing more than two points, buying people's hearts is certain, and more importantly, his military command ability is obvious to all, then the rest is the source of soldiers, he wants to let everyone in the world know that as long as he takes refuge in General Wang's command, whether it is life or death, the money in this life is enough.
Everyone received their share of the money so heavy that they didn't know how to spend it, and everyone laughed, cried, and cheered.
A few young generals who seemed to be in the army walked out of the crowd and stopped everyone's revelry, "Everyone be quiet, have you ever seen such a general?" Have you ever followed such a general? Do you still want to be a deserter from your former generals? I don't want to."
After that, several people turned around together, knelt down in front of Wang Lan on the city tower, and said loudly with their hands, "From today on, I, Song Dali, will only be the head of your general Wang, and I am willing to follow the general Ping Thief Xingming until death."
As soon as he said this, the whole army responded at the same time, kneeling down in unison, the formation was magnificent, and everyone shouted in unison, "I am willing to follow the general to the thief and prosper, until death"
This is exactly what Wang Lanping wants to see the most, his efforts are not in vain, and at the same time, he is deeply moved by these sergeants, from this moment on, he is no longer a person, he has his own real general, and the spark is rising.
"Good!" Wang Lanping waved his hand and said, "No matter whose soldiers you used to be, from now on, you are all my Wang Lanping's brothers, although I can't add you to the rank now, but I can tell you that King Fu has ascended the throne in Nanjing and called the emperor, renewing the Ming Dynasty, everything you do today, the emperor will definitely know, heroes are born in troubled times, this is an era of heroes, it is the moment when men fight on the battlefield and make contributions, and in the future, the world will be pacified, you are the future princes and generals of the Ming Dynasty, long live the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Not only did he send out the silver, but he also made a wish, which made everyone even more excited, although these things sounded too bragging, but in the excited atmosphere of the people here and now, everyone was convinced that there was such a brave and strategic, and the general who was generous to the soldiers was guided, and there was nothing that could not be done.
"Long live Daming! ......" The passionate voice lingered in everyone's hearts.
When Kong Zhixian heard that King Fu was the emperor in Nanjing, he cried even more like a mourner, and he wailed on the ground.
An activity to clean up the hearts of the army was a complete success, which was more than repelling the attacks of the two Shun troops to make Wang Lanping feel gratified, if you want to have the right to speak in the newly established Nanjing regime, then you have to let yourself hold the military power, this first step is a good start, the next step is to exchange for the support of the people, so many years, the people of the world have suffered from the Ming court, in fact, Wang Lanping has no good impression of the Ming Dynasty, up to the emperor's relatives and relatives, down to the local officials, all of them are exploiting the people layer by layer, and he also wants to get rid of the corrupt officials in the world, the only person he Wang Lanping wants to repay is Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who is not the king of the lost country, but the bitter emperor who has lost the fortune of the country.
When he was dying, he did not forget to leave a sad sentence that moved the world: Let the thief split his body, don't hurt my Ming people. The words of people who are dying are the truest, although he couldn't add grace to the people of the world when he was alive, at least he achieved the eternal feat of the king's death, who can criticize an emperor who was set aside by the Donglin Party, and it is no wonder that Chongzhen will grit his teeth when he is dying, leaving the helplessness of 'I am not the king of the dead country, and the ministers should be killed'.
Wang Lanping is loyal to Chongzhen alone, so he wants to change all kinds of unpopular actions of the Ming Dynasty in the past, and reinvigorate the future for Chongzhen after he wants to do it but can't do it.
The history of the Southern Ming Dynasty Wang Lanping still has some impressions, it is a worse than the Ming Dynasty, more ** partial peace of the small court, only existed for more than ten years and was beaten to ashes by the Qing army, this is an era that future generations regret incomparably.
But now that all this has just begun, Wang Lanping still has a chance to change all this and prevent the tragedy of history from happening, so he wants to go to Nanjing and take his army to change all this.
The only remaining more than 400 people in the city were organized into the Fengzi Battalion, and Song Dali, a strong and brave Liaobei man, was promoted from a centurion to a thousand-commander, which was also the biggest official that Wang Lanping could seal.
The drums of the war outside the city sounded again, and Wang Lanping hurriedly climbed up the city tower.
"General, the Shun army is going to forcibly attack the city" Today is Song Dali's happiest day, not because he made a small fortune, nor was he promoted, but he felt that he was with a hero of the world, a hero who will be able to do great things in the future, this intuition is his experience in the army for ten years, a general does not love money, and he is so righteous and awe-inspiring, then he must have something more important in his heart, the world! Whether it is the world of the Zhu family or the world of the Wang family, he has the right person.
Wang Lanping looked at the Shun army rolling in the distance, patted Song Dali's shoulder, and said, "What should come is to come after all, pass the order, let what you have ordered in advance do, and guard the city wall."
"Yes!"
This time the Dashun army made a comeback, Li Laixiang redeployed the battle plan, and the whole army changed the cavalry to an infantry army, and for the first time, a thousand people were dispatched to carry the newly built climbing ladder, and the neat phalanx began a cruel and bloody forcible landing battle.
Li Laixiang is determined to win Huaining City, he understands that the cavalry city siege is too absurd, and the leader is the elite selected by the whole army, all of whom are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and they can also fight bravely when they get off the war horse.
The Dashun army is also looking at death at this time, anyway, if you can't attack Huaining, don't think about going back, whoever the woman in the family loves is who's who, and the Dashun army with a thousand hearts that will die is getting closer and closer to the Huaining city wall.
"Kill!" Two hundred paces from the city wall, the Dashun army began to charge, everyone carrying ladders and pushing heavy city breakers swarmed up, followed by rows of longbowmen.
It's close, it's close, if at this distance, there can be a row of artillery at the head of Huaining City, and Dashun can be killed and wounded immediately, He Nai is under Liu Zeqing's military defense, Huaining City has not built any city defense facilities except for the Fengzi battalion outside the garrison city, and even the city wall has not been repaired.
"Draw the bow!" Song Dali gave the order.
"Put!"
Arrows flew down from the city.
Wang Lanping looked at this group of Dashun troops who braved the dense rain of arrows and did not shy away at all, and he also admired in his heart, and only such an army could overthrow the Ming Dynasty in 276 years, they were invincible, but today you met me Wang Lanping, if you don't defeat you, you will not stand under my military flag, and I will take you to create greater glory in the future.
There was a rain of arrows on the city, and soldiers on both sides continued to fall to the ground with arrows, and the screams were terrifying.
Wang Lanping stood at the top of the city tower and watched all this quietly.
Although the arrows of the Fengzi battalion were flying all over the sky, the Dashun army still rushed to the bottom of the city, set up ladders, and climbed up step by step with a shout.
"Backwards, squatting" Song Dali according to the tactics taught by Wang Lanping, as long as the Dashun army landed in the city, let all the defenders retreat, because this was the strongest moment of the Dashun army's offensive, and the city covered the siege of the city The sergeant who landed the city shot so that even the mosquitoes could not fly over, and at this time he showed his head to prevent the other party from landing the city is looking for death.
According to the military order, all the Fengzi battalion squatted with their backs against the back wall battlements, and all the spears and bows and arrows were aimed at the battlements that the Dashun army was about to climb out, and everyone burst into concentration.
The arrows of the Dashun army stopped, which showed that the Dashun army that had landed in the city was already very close to the battlements, and the people of the Fengzi Battalion let out a tense 'buzzing' sound, and the bowstring was tightened more and more.
"Kill!" More than 20 Dashun soldiers leaned out half of their bodies in front of the battlement at the same time, raising their sabers and about to climb the wall.
"Put!" The powerful arrow shot out of the hand of the Wind Word Battalion, burrowing into the chest, mouth, throat, and face of the opposite person.
With a scream, the Dashun army that had just climbed the city was pushed down by the arrow at the same time, and some of them fell backwards with the ladder, and the people on the ladder were either dead or injured.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Dashun army climbed up to the city, and a row of sharp arrows shot them down, and some sections of the city wall were defended by pikemen, and the rows of spears pointed viciously at the newly poked out heads, and a few spears pierced past, and the man was already unrecognizable, and his face was full of holes.
The broken cone of the Dashun army under the city also advanced to the city gate, and the log that was as thick as one person hit the four-inch thick city gate wrapped in copper again and again, 'knock, knock'.
Every time the city gate is hit, it can make the soldiers of the Fengzi battalion in the city who use their bodies tightly against the door feel the blood churning in their bodies, and if they continue to shake like this, sooner or later they will vomit blood and die, behind them, hundreds of swords and swords and hands form an arc, and everyone's eyes are all staring at the dusty city gate, as if the other party will fall if the other party hits the city gate again.
Dashun followed one after another, climbed to the head of the city again and again, and was killed by the Fengzi camp again, the corpses were everywhere in the city, and the blood flowed down the city wall, dyeing the walls of Huaining City red, but the city wall was still laboriously probed in the hands of the Fengzi camp.
Under the remnant sun, Li Laixiang waved the command flag again, because he understood that he could not give the other party any respite, and he had to rush forward in one go.
Li Laixiang personally cheered for the soldiers who were besieging the city, and the inspiring sound of war drums inspired the Dashun army to climb up the city by stepping on the corpses of their comrades again and again, and there was no fear in their eyes, only numbness to death.
With the increase of the Dashun army, the battle line to protect the city wall is getting longer and longer, the Fengzi battalion is not many, for a time there are constantly the defense line is broken through, a large number of Shun troops poured into the city, Wang Lanping a spear along the city wall back and forth to kill, where the most dangerous where there is his figure, the city wall is constantly hugged by soldiers from both sides, tearing together from the city roll down.
"On the oil," Wang Lanping shouted.
Kong Zhi County, with dozens of officials from the county government, ran up to the city tower with buckets of fire oil and splashed them on the battlements.
"Ignition"
Torches rolled away.
