Chapter 830: The Decisive Battle
readx;
For several days in a row, it was the rumbling of artillery, and the rumbling sound of artillery was heard clearly by the large battalions far away more than ten miles away, and the large battalions of the Chinese army had long been accustomed to this kind of artillery sound, and the new army was still practicing as usual, and was infected by this atmosphere, and the officers and soldiers of the other battalions also began to work hard, although it was just a pretend, but the atmosphere of preparing for war was very strong, and the ten-mile-long battalion was endless, and the spirit of slaughter was full.

Liu Chengfeng was naturally not in a hurry to attack the city, in fact, no one thought that his so-called artillery battalion training was actually such a method, which could not only improve the ability of the recruits and make the recruits mature at the fastest speed, but also disturb the morale of the rebels, kill and injure the rebels and destroy the opponent's fortifications.
Things are going very well, in the face of strong strength, even if King Thaning has any conspiracy and tricks, it is in vain, and now, the so-called siege game has become a training ground for Liu Chengfeng to test the new army.
In Nanchang City, all kinds of news are also transmitted from the city in various ways, in the camp, a new secret report is placed on Liu Chengfeng's desk, the generals in the camp are all gathered, Liu Chengfeng sits firmly on the chair, looking around at everyone, and finally knocks the table with his fist, attracting everyone's attention before saying: "The traitor Zhu Jijun is a big rebel, first demagoguery, fooling the ignorant people in the name of the Qing monarch, and now it is the end of the road, but he is still obsessed. Some time ago, someone in the city asked King Ning to bow his head and tie up, what does this mean? It shows that the morale of the soldiers in the city has been shaken, and the rebels have despaired. ā
Liu Chengfeng paused here, then smiled coldly and said, "But instead of refusing to surrender, Zhu Jijun was extremely vicious and killed all these subordinates who persuaded him to surrender to show his determination to resist. Liu Chengfeng's eyes flashed a trace of cunning, and he said in a flat tone: "This traitor Zhu Jinjun is the best at buying people's hearts, and he always made a posture of a corporal of Lixian in the past, but this time he actually went on a killing spree, and finally showed his ugly face. Ladies and gentlemen, the arrogant and domineering Zhu Jinjun is not terrible, the more arrogant and domineering he is, the more vicious he is, the more he tells me that this person no longer has any threat. ā
"Today!" Liu Chengfeng let out a contemptuous sneer and continued: "According to the latest news, it is said that Zhu Jinjun is forcing civil and military officials to conduct a ceremony in the city, he originally called himself the king of prison, but now he consciously wants to live an emperor addiction at the end of the road, just in the mansion of King Naning, he wants to be crowned by a monkey, and he wants to ascend to the top to become the emperor......"
When he said this, the civil and military officials in the city changed their colors and talked about it.
No wonder the city is so lively today, it is said that there are a lot of firecrackers and salutes in it, it turns out that this King Ning is crazy and wants to ascend the throne.
If in the past, King Ning claimed to be the supervisor of the country and called himself Jingnan, and maybe there were some legitimate surnames, after all, Emperor Wen's country was Jingnan, and Emperor Taizu also had a will, saying that if the emperors of later generations were unconscious, the vassal kings could raise troops to Jingnan.
But now it is very unwise to be called the emperor, which means that Zhu Jinjun's last bit of legal surname has also been lost. Doing so will not do Zhu Jinjun any good.
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "Zhu Jinjun did this because he was at the end of his rope in one sentence, and he wanted to live an emperor addiction, and it was really ridiculous that he deceived himself like this." But then again, this person is a clan, once he is really called the emperor, I am afraid that the face of the court is not very good-looking, and even the emperor's face is not good-looking. We are waiting for the matter of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king, how can we watch the fire from the other side, Zhu Jinjun is already a turtle in the urn, since this is the case, then from now on, the order will be passed on, and the three armies will attack the city immediately, there must be no mistake! ā
Liu Chengfeng's order was indeed conveyed much earlier than he expected, but everyone can understand that now things have evolved into political issues, and they are no longer purely military issues. From a military point of view, it is not the most appropriate time to attack the city now, the rebels in the city are in a situation of being passively beaten, if they shell for more than ten days, and wait until their army is weakened, and the walls and fortifications are full of holes, they will definitely succeed. But from a political point of view, the rebels in the city are preparing for the enthronement ceremony and are about to be crowned emperor, while the officials and troops outside the city are still grinding and refusing to attack the city. This is a bit of a big rebellion, so now we must attack the city, even if it is a show, we must perform this drama enough.
Whether you can capture the city or not is a matter of ability, but whether you can attack the city or not is a matter of attitude.
If you don't show this attitude, not only will those imperial envoys talk a lot, but I'm afraid that the palace will be displeased if they know about it.
Liu Chengfeng, don't look at it, on the surface, he is laughing at King Ning for breaking the jar or being at the end of his rope. But I really admire Zhu Jinjun in my heart, this man is scheming, and his wisdom is unfathomable.
On the surface, King Ning seemed to have made a bad move, desperately losing his legal surname, revealing his true face and ascending the throne as emperor. However, Liu Chengfeng could vaguely guess that King Ning did this, not because he was addicted to the emperor, but because he knew in his heart that if the officials and troops outside the city did not attack the city, and the artillery positions outside the city were shelling Nanchang, his military spirit would become more and more discouraged, and his capital would become less and less.
Therefore, now, the opportunity for King Ning is not to sit still, but to force the official army outside the city to attack Nanchang, only a strong attack can offset the advantage of the official army in artillery, the rebels can use the remaining fortifications in Nanchang City and the official army to conduct a decisive battle, no matter whether the official army can capture the city or not, even if it is captured, it will be injured by 1,000 enemies and 800 self-losses. But if it is not captured, then this victory is enough to boost the morale of the rebels in the city, and King Ning can continue to hold on.
It is not easy to force the officials and the army to fight a decisive battle, after all, the initiative is in the hands of the officials and the army, but once he ascends the throne as the emperor, this initiative is equivalent to firmly in the hands of his Zhu Jinjun, on the surface it is to ascend the throne, but in fact, it is to force the officials and troops to attack the city. Liu Chengfeng had to attack.
This kind of person...... It really made Liu Chengfeng a little admired, it has come to this point, he is still playing with conspiracy, and it seems that he always wants to take the initiative in his own hands. But......
Liu Chengfeng was already determined to attack, originally he just wanted to make a show, which means that, at least he can give an explanation to the court and the palace, and so on to drop some corpses, and then it is difficult to capture and withdraw people in a hurry, but in the end this idea was dispelled, of course it is a means to protect himself, but don't forget, this kind of appearance can fool both the court and the rebels in the city, the rebels in the city saw that the official army failed to attack the city, and they were soon defeated, and they must think that the official army was nothing more than that, The previous fear of the official army will also be dispelled, if King Ning takes this opportunity to encourage it, then the originally low morale will soon be high, if it really comes to this point, it will be even more unfavorable to the future attack, rather than this, it is better to make a decision now.
Liu Chengfeng's face became a little cruel, and he said slowly: "There are no two heavens, there are no two lords on the earth, Zhu Jinjun is crazy, delusional, and dares to be called the emperor!" If we couldn't storm the city before, what face would we have to be the emperor's courtier, and what face would I have to lead the court, and now we can only fight to the death. Everyone......" Liu Chengfeng glanced around at everyone, his words had already made everyone put away their frivolity and become extremely dignified, everyone knew that the most critical time for counterinsurgency had come!
Liu Chengfeng said: "Everyone, it is at this time to make meritorious contributions, to seal the shadow of his wife at this time, and to serve the emperor at this time." Where is Yang Biao? ā
The commander made Yang Biao stand up, bowed down and said, "Humble." ā
Yang Biao and Liu Chengfeng also had some grievances, and when he heard Liu Chengfeng calling him, he couldn't help but feel a sudden sudden, for fear that Liu Chengfeng would take the opportunity to put on small shoes for him.
Liu Chengfeng said: "You bring your soldiers and horses to take the lead, Commander Yang, do you dare to use your life?" ā
Yang Biao is an impatient surname, Fang Cai Liu Chengfeng actually said, the city has been fluctuating, who takes the lead, is not only a great opportunity, but also accompanied by a great risk, if you can take the city, or take the soldiers and horses to the city wall first, this battle Yang Biao must be the first achievement, but if something goes wrong, most of his Yang Biao's head will not be guaranteed.
Yang Biao looked a little hesitant, but Liu Chengfeng glanced at him and said slowly: "To be honest, this official does have some personal grudges with you, but this official will never waste his personal interests because of public affairs, the reason why you are allowed to take the lead is because you are the most courageous among the generals, and although the new army can be of great use, it is only good at firearms, and it is not suitable for strong attacks." Commander Yang will give a word of approval, if you don't, this official will never embarrass you, and you will appoint someone else. ā
After listening to Liu Chengfeng's heart-to-heart words, even if Yang Biao still suspected that Liu Chengfeng was deliberately looking for trouble with him, he could only grit his teeth and say: "My lord has a life, how dare you disrespect your lowly, and you are willing to be dispatched." ā
"Okay." Liu Chengfeng glanced at Yang Biao appreciatively, and then began to arrange the squadron and rear team for the siege, as well as the left and right wings to cover at any time.
Qian Fang suddenly asked at this time: "My lord, since it is a siege, which gate should be started to attack?" ā
