Hangzhou City

From ancient times to the present, the best way to attack the fortified city is to encircle three and lack one, but today Li Yunzhong made a special time, he put all the 60,000 troops in the north city, and he didn't seem to care about the other city walls.

Looking at the heavily guarded city wall, Zuo Zongtang sneered: "Zhang Guoliang was shrewd and confused for a while, there were so many dangerous places outside the city, he didn't send troops to garrison, but withdrew all the troops into the city, if we surrounded him for a long time and cut off his grain route, there were 600,000 residents in the city, and within half a year, he would definitely be in chaos without a fight." ”

After listening to Zuo Zongtang's words, Li Yunzhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, explaining: "This is really the terrible thing about Zhang Guoliang, he knows me very well, and he knows that it is impossible for me to leave the army commander here, and I also understand that our army is good at using firearms, and the dangerous places outside the city can only increase casualties under the bombardment of artillery." ”

Li Chunfa carefully looked at the soldiers and firearms on the city wall, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise, our army will attack a city wall, so that the Qing army's defense equipment and artillery deployed in other directions will become waste, and our army can concentrate firepower, although the cannons on the city wall are useless even if they are on the high ground, they will inevitably be bombarded by our army and have no power to fight back!" ”

Seeing Li Chunfa's words to break through the mystery, Li Yunzhong still smiled proudly: "Look at the city gate, why didn't the Qing army destroy the stone bridge on the moat?" ”

The army was silent, but the King of Han and the generals studied the motives of the Qing army, and Lin Fengxiang sighed at the shadow of the famous tree! If the king of the east was here, he would have ordered the siege of the city, and used practical actions to test the defense of the Qing army.

Zuo Zongtang stroked his three-inch beard, squinted his eyes and thought, and suddenly said: "Could it be that the Qing army used a stone bridge to attract our army to attack the city, such a narrow bridge section, squeezing it will inevitably cause heavy casualties!" ”

The generals suddenly realized;

"This Guoliang is really insidious, using this poisonous trick to consume the vitality of our army."

"Not only that, I think his purpose is to make our army suffer more casualties, the king of Han is merciful, he must not bear to continue to attack the city, he escaped!"

"What a whims! Zhang Guoliang is so thoughtful, he is not seen through by His Highness at a glance! ”

…………

Listening to the constant sound of sycophants, Li Yunzhong kept smiling and asked everyone, "What can you do to fill the moat in front?" ”

Li Shixian looked at the thirty-pace-wide moat, remembered the storytelling in the teahouse, and replied excitedly: "Let the soldiers carry the sandbags, and they can fill them in one day." After speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and added: "It is still necessary for the cannons under the city to bombard the city wall to cover the guards and fill the river." ”

Depend on! How many people would have to die! Li Yunzhong instantly denied it and replied: "It's too slow, is there a way to be faster!" ”

Zuo Zongtang had a flash of inspiration and shouted: "I have a way, during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army entered the Kou Pass, that is, the cavalry threw sandbags and piled them up to the height of the city wall, so as to break the city and slaughter the city, why don't our army follow the same path and send people to the upstream to cut off the water source, the river will inevitably fall, and then use all the cavalry to still sandbag into the moat, and it will not take two hours to fill the river!" ”

Ye Lian was born in cavalry, and stepped forward to receive the order: "The last general is willing to lead the cavalry to fill the river, please ask Your Highness for permission!" ”

"Since Master Ye is in charge, let's go down and prepare! Order the Sixth Army, the Eighth Army and all the people to prepare 20,000 sandbags for backup," Li Yunzhong turned his head and ordered Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Li Shixian.

"Obey" the four of them clenched their fists and left.

On the city wall, Feng Zicai was draped all over his body, with a lot of iron armor, helmets, and swords, and kept stretching out his head to observe whether there was any movement under the city, and every time he looked at Zhang Guoliang in disappointment, he reported anxiously: "My lord, Shorthair doesn't seem to have been fooled, should we give them a war letter and provoke them?" ”

The residual wind blew, leaving a chill, and Zhang Guoliang rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands. staring at the ant-like military formation under the city, neat and powerful, I couldn't help but feel, "I didn't expect it to be just two years, anti-thief...... The soldiers are strong and strong, Nangan, maybe this Hangzhou is the place where we bury our bones, Nangan, if you retreat to Jinhua with Lord Qincha......"

Hearing the admiral say such frustrating words, Feng Zicai said excitedly: "My lord doesn't know, there are two people I respect the most in my life, the first is Xiang Junmen, but unfortunately he died before he left the school, and the second person is Zhang Junmen, you shouldn't leave Hangzhou." ”

Zhang Guoliang listened to Feng Zicai's heartfelt words, he was quite pleased, and his momentum rose sharply, "There is only one way to plan for today, to hold Hangzhou to the death, although the Li thief is fierce, but he pities the soldiers, as long as we kill and injure a large number of enemy troops, he will inevitably lead the troops to retreat, so that the siege of Zhejiang can be solved." ”

"Rest assured, the grain and grass in the city are enough to eat for a year, and there are 30,000 soldiers, and everyone swears to live and die with Hangzhou." Feng Zicai is quite confident in this.

"Report, Your Highness, the upstream river has been blocked, and the downstream river has also been dredged!"

"Report, Your Highness, 20,000 sandbags have been made."

"Your Highness, two thousand cavalry are ready to go at any time."

"Your Highness, the cannon is ready, please instruct Your Highness."

Li Yunzhong looked at the row of ten howitzers in front of him. Fifteen cannons, all of which were European goods, were the only ones who could bombard the city walls and suppress the Qing artillery fire beyond the range of the Qing artillery.

"Release" Li Yunzhong pulled out his sword with his right hand and shouted loudly.

"Boom"

"Boom"

……

Seeing that there was no artillery counterattack on the city wall, a dark cloud floated on Li Yun's center, but he had to send an arrow on the string, and continued to order, "The cavalry will take turns to step forward in three batches to fill the moat!" ”

Ye Lian took the lead, holding the reins in her left hand and a sandbag in her right hand, rushing towards the moat, and when she arrived at the river, she made a beautiful turn, and the sandbag in her hand had been thrown into the river, and led the cavalry behind her to return to the front of the army to receive sandbags.

Zhang Guoliang hid behind the wall, and when he saw the enemy army sending cavalry to fill the river, he shouted: "Open the cannon!" Fire! The foreign gun battalion is ready to shoot, shoot! ”

"Boom"

"Bang" "Boom"

……

Every time he saw an anti-thief cavalry hit by artillery or muskets and fell to the ground, Zhang Guoliang laughed heartily.

Feng Zicai shouted anxiously: "My lord! The short-haired cannons are all pushed up, and we bombard their artillery positions with cannons, and stop hitting the cavalry! ”

Zhang Guoliang looked forward, and sure enough, he saw Shorthair pushing one cannon after another towards the city wall, standing up regardless of the danger, and shouting: "Fire at the Shorthair Cannon, the cannons are aimed at the Shorthair Cannon......"

Lin Fengxiang looked at the battlefield in front of him, his blood boiled, and he asked: "Please allow Your Highness to lead my troops to break open the city gate!" ”

Li Shixian had just been transferred to the Fifth Army, and he also wanted to show it, so he said: "The last general is willing to fight." ”

"Let's go to the Sixth Army, just send a battalion to try! I am afraid that the walls have been sealed. Li Yunzhong said to Lin Fengxiang.

Zheng Damao was not happy with the battalion head sent by Commander Lin to attack the city gate, looking at the fierce artillery fire of the Qing army, the fool also knew that he would inevitably be sent to death if he went up, he was just a gangster, and the battalion commander was also content.

The company commander Zheng Ermao looked excited, kept shouting at his subordinates to push the assault car around, and after a while, he ran in front of Zheng Damao, bared his teeth and grinned: "Big brother, this is an opportunity, His Royal Highness the King of Han is watching us from behind, as long as we crash open the city gate, you ...... You're at least a regimental leader! ”

Zheng Damao slapped his brother's forehead vigorously, and whispered: "You remember it for Lao Tzu, don't rush forward in a hurry, just hide behind your subordinates." ”

Zheng Ermao covered his forehead and said hurriedly: "Why! I also want to be a battalion commander, a regiment commander, and a division commander, why don't I be allowed to chong, I want to be a big official and glorify my ancestors. ”

Zheng Damao struck again and scolded: "Regiment commander, division commander, you have to have that life." ”

The regiment commander Zhou Lichun saw that Zheng Damao was procrastinating, ran over on horseback, and said: "Niang Xipi, no matter how bad you are, Lao Tzu will whip you, and the army commander doesn't know that he likes you, such an important task is directly handed over to you, so that Lao Tzu has no chance to perform!" ”

Zheng Damao lowered his head and said with a sneer: "It's good right away!" Right away! ”

Feng Zicai looked at the assault car that was moving forward under the city, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the military gate has the foresight to block the city gate, this short hair must be in vain this time!" The brothers beat me hard, and I was rewarded with three taels of silver for killing a thief! ”

"Shoot the Arrow"

"Throwing stones"
