Chapter 1367 Loyalty at the head of the city and anti-thieves under the city

For such self-confidence and momentum, the defenders of Jinzhou showed envy, and Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan and other old adults were speechless.

"Lao Chen, arrange for the brothers to prepare, look at the posture of the Xuzhou army, it's not good" Zhang Pan said a few words with a little nervousness, and after discovering the wry smile on Chen Jisheng's face, he himself stopped with a wry smile.

Zhang Pan rubbed his face, smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "I even pity the Han people who surrendered to the Tartars, and now that the soldiers and horses of the Han people are coming, what else do I say, keep watching!" ”

Standing on the high platform, Chen Sheng looked into the distance in the north, his vision was obscured by mountains and hills, but Chen Sheng knew that beyond the peaks and hills dozens of miles away, he could see the vast Liaodong Plain, where there was fertile land, millions of Han people abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, rivers that were not inferior to canals, and a coastal port suitable for Xuzhou's fleet.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng inexplicably remembered what Wang Youshan and Wang Zhaojing once said, Xuzhou is the land key point of the eight-way thoroughfare, no natural danger, no good land, no support, no people's heart, and Zhao Jin in this poor and white land, with his bare hands to make such a poor and dead land into a rich township, the scattered people's hearts into ambitions, and the small land of one state to control the two provinces, this is really an immortal achievement, a rare great cause throughout the ages.

Think about Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and then think about the dynasties, if you want to start a business, you have to have a fundamental place, Zhu Yuanzhang has Jiangnan and Lianghuai, Mengyuan has a vast grassland, and Zhao Kuangyin of the Northern Song Dynasty relies on the management of the forbidden army, and the five dynasties are either entrenched in Hedong or occupy the Central Plains, and the Han and Tang dynasties were the land of Heluo in Guanzhong.

These places can gather a large number of manpower and financial resources, can be continuously supplied, and there are more self-contained shapes, but they have, Xuzhou does not have, at the beginning, Xuzhou Zhao Jin did not even have the people's heart, so step by step to the present.

If you say that the land outside the pass is in your hands, these tens of millions of hectares of fertile land, these millions of people, this river and seaport, then Xuzhou also has its own imperial foundation.

Thinking of this, even if he was as calm and calm as Chen Sheng, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath and roared: "Now that we are here, now this place outside the gate is for the master, it is for the master!" ”

This is simple, but the following is quiet at first, quietly heard the sea breeze blowing, the sudden silence made the defenders of the city a little uncomfortable, before they wondered, the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis sounded, the defenders of Jinzhou looked at the neat queue boiling, even if it was far away, you could see the people on the opposite side waving weapons, cheering and shouting, everyone was shouting, the sound was noisy, but the city head could not hear clearly.

It didn't take long for the voices to become uniform, and the shouts of thousands of people were heard by the city.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray"

After hearing this voice, the faces of many of the defenders of Golden State changed, but they were not too stunned, and then they heard all the shouts.

"Long live Jinye, long live, long live!"

Although Zhao Jin's current name is General Xuzhou, everyone's usual title is still Jin Ye, and now he clearly shouted Long live, and the defenders of Jinzhou looked at each other.

When I heard the shout of "Long live" just now, I didn't hear the specific name, so everyone pretended to be confused, but now the soldiers and horses under the city clearly shouted out Long live Zhao Jin, according to the rules, this is a blatant rebellion, this is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the defenders of the city are all from the Ming Dynasty, according to the rules, they want to stand with the anti-thieves outside the city, and fight to the death.

Some of the defenders at the head of the city coughed dryly, some smiled bitterly, but there was no anger, everyone looked at each other, and they all saw hesitation and embarrassment on each other's faces.

Their own hard support, seeing that they are about to be unable to support the enemy, were beaten by this "anti-thief" soldiers and horses for a few hours and ran away, and then look at this equipment, this military situation, how can there be any possibility of fighting, now everyone not only has the courage, but feels that this group of Xuzhou soldiers and horses is troublesome, some know that they can vaguely pass the past, do they have to break it?

Not long after the display and review of the Zhao Jiajun on the opposite side, the mountains shouted long live after the tsunami was shouted, and they dispersed in their respective positions, and when the defenders of Jinzhou did not know how to deal with it, a horse ran in the direction of the city.

Seeing this ride, the defenders who were about to disperse at the head of the city immediately came to their senses, and they all piled up there without moving, wanting to see what the other party had to say.

At this juncture, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan didn't have much of the heart to maintain order, just waited there.

The situation was like this, the cavalry of the Zhao family army was still very cautious, stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow, put his hands together and shouted: "Everyone go down to the city immediately, a hundred steps away from the city wall, otherwise, regardless of the dead or wounded, wait for the cannon to fire before going to the city." ”

No one understood this shouting for the first time, and when it was shouted for the third time, the defenders of Jinzhou City didn't understand it, but they still didn't understand the meaning of these words, let us leave the city, and we had to be a hundred steps away from the city wall.

However, their doubts were quickly answered, and they saw several of Zhao Jiajun's "general cannons" begin to move in this direction.

"It's going to be a siege!"

Everyone immediately understood, but after everyone was stunned, their reactions were very consistent, and they immediately ran towards the city, it was like a coax, and there was no intention of resisting, when the Jurchens attacked the city, even if it was bombarded, there were still people who gritted their teeth and hid at the head of the city waiting for a counterattack, but now everyone did not have any thoughts of fighting to the death.

Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan are actually not very old, but they have been leading everyone to fight for a long time, and their calm temperament has also been raised, so they walked directly at the end, Chen Jisheng had a wry smile on his face, signaling Kong Youde to go on his own, Zhang Pan also had a helpless wry smile on his face, in addition to the bitter smile, the two of them had not seen it for many days.

"After three trumpet sounds, quit a hundred paces away! The shelling stopped after the fourth trumpet! ”

In the process of going down to the city, there was a loud shouting outside, it seems that the decision made by the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou was not so complete, and even a little child's play.

That is, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan had just stepped down from the city wall, and the sharp suona sound outside the city sounded, and everyone who seemed to be very relaxed scolded in a low voice, and hurriedly quickened their pace. 、

However, the second sound sounded after a while, at this time everyone had retreated a hundred steps away, looking at the towering city wall in front of them, the defenders of Jinzhou were speechless for a while, but a few young people were indignant, and they muttered there: "What are you pretending to be a god, we have also seen the general cannon of the Tartars, and they can play other tricks?" ”

Others were quiet, their faces turned into apprehension, and their partial vision was obscured by the city walls, and they couldn't see the outside scene, which made them even more uneasy.

Rescued by reinforcements from the sea, the ecstasy and ease brought by such a change in life and death have dissipated, and what remains is confusion and anxiety about the future.

Originally, everyone thought that they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, worthy of the villagers who died in Liao Town, or died on the battlefield, or returned to the Guannei, the former was worthy of his heart, and the latter may have a rich future, but no one expected that there would be such a development, came to the rescue, and it was not the kind of rescuer who added firewood to the fire, it was a strong army that defeated the Tartars and drove away after coming, but this is not the Ming official army, but the "anti-thief".

Everyone has been fighting for Daming, but they were saved by the thieves, and I really don't know where to go in the future.

The third scream sounded again, and the defenders subconsciously held their breath, and the vicinity of the northern city wall immediately became quiet, and the subsequent thunderous roar lived up to their expectations.

The cannon sounded, everyone covered their ears, and then the wall was hit, and at the moment when the wall was hit, the defenders even felt that the ground was shaking.

As soon as the cannon stopped, another cannon rang out, and the cannon began to rumble continuously, and the defenders had lost their curiosity at the beginning, only the horror from the inside and out, and the subconscious trembling.

When I was at the head of the city, I saw the "anti-thief" soldiers and horses dragging over five artillery, even if the five artillery pieces fired one after another, there should not be such a frequency, and the artillery dragged relatively flexibly, and the length and caliber were the appearance of the general cannon, let alone such power, after all, the Tartar artillery everyone had just experienced

I don't know how long it took, but in fact it didn't take long, the sound of the cannon stopped, and everyone in the defenders was a little distracted, and there was even more undisguised fear, saying that a cannon would erode for miles and tens, but everyone had experienced that and that was the case, but what they felt today was different.

In fact, everyone did not see the effect of the shelling, only felt the tremors and roars, but this was amazing enough.

"Collapsed, the corners of the walls collapsed!" Someone shouted loudly, and everyone looked at the northwest corner of the city, only to see that a gap had been punched out there, and the city wall had collapsed.

How long has it been, some people subconsciously look up at the sky, trying to judge the time from the position of the sun, at most a moment, when they get this information, everyone is speechless, they are all gasping, in such a short period of time, so many shells have been fired? So much damage?

The fourth suona sounded, and some people didn't even hear this sound, a little careless or curious, and now both ears are buzzing, and they can't hear anything clearly.

Everyone was not in a hurry to go to the city to see, the power of the shelling just now had frightened everyone, for fear that the other party would bombard it again, but after a while, everyone rushed to the city in a swarm, and everyone wanted to see the effect of the shelling.

If it was yesterday, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan would have been angry and reprimanded to maintain order, but at this time, the two of them didn't bother to care, and even the guards around them didn't remind them, and everyone became a lot lazy.

When everyone poured up to the city, they saw that there were five cannons under the city, and such a heavy cannon had to move and move, and the traces on the ground could not be concealed at all, and in the northwest corner of the city wall, the city wall over there had been completely destroyed, and the city corner had collapsed, and it was completely miserable to watch.
