Two days later, the autumn tiger is in full bloom, and the hot weather makes people impetuous. The sun was scorching, and the light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. In particular, the chirping of cicadas adds to this feeling.

"Kill~!"

The sound of rushing and killing came and went, echoing in the sky above Hancheng, resounding through the four fields, shaking people's hearts and pulling everyone's heartstrings.

The eastern, southern, western, and northern gates of Hancheng were surrounded by rebel troops, and the soldiers dressed in colorful clothes were like dense locusts, flocking to the city walls and gates, climbing up the ladders, and killing the city without fear of death.

At this moment, the battle of the east city gate to capture the city wall is much more lazy and not so heroic than other city gates. The soldiers of the Li family army just rushed and killed, and when they were still some distance away from the city wall, they immediately stopped, first shot a rain of arrows, and set up the cloud ladder on the city wall, and that's it, and did not take a strong offensive posture.

Whoa...

Bang bang bang ...

Boom boom...

The rain of arrows is like a forest, the sound of firecrackers, the roar of tigers and cannons, and all kinds of sounds are intertwined.

The archers draw their stiff bows and shoot them up to the sky; The musketeers aimed at the officers and soldiers on the city wall, so that the officers and soldiers defending the city did not dare to show their heads; Although there were few tiger squatting cannons, they bombarded the city in a concentrated and indiscriminate manner.

For a while, there was a vacuum near the ladder, and the charging troops of the Li Jiajun moved again, passing through the archers and spears and artillerymen, climbing up the ladder, holding a knife in his right hand and a miniature bow and crossbow tied to his left arm.

Between flying away, on the ladder, not only can you fight with a long knife, but you can also pull the mechanism of a miniature bow and crossbow to shoot the officers and soldiers who dare to show their heads. The combination of long-range and close-range attacks made the combat power of this stormtrooping force of the Li Jiajun soar!

Li Zicheng stood on a high slope a few hundred meters away from the east gate, looking at this scene with some pride, as if admiring his own masterpiece. Li Changmao stood aside, first looked at the Li Jiajun's arrangement, attack sequence, and then looked at Li Zicheng, feeling more and more that this boss was extraordinary.

In the beginning, it was still very rusty to command large-scale operations, and they were all opportunistic, stumbling blocks, ambushes, sneak attacks, spreading drugs, sending people to infiltrate the enemy's camp, and so on. Although these are also a kind of stratagem, a strategy for fighting. However, he lacked a kind of courage, the kind of courage to command a large scale and collide head-on with the enemy, and the demeanor and strategy that a general should have.

Now it's different, this seemingly cynical boss is becoming more and more mature, commanding the army is becoming more and more handy, and the arrangement of troops is even more fluid, dividing the troops in a disciplined manner, and maximizing the advantages of each soldier.

Liu Fangliang was also beside him, looking at the shouting and killing in front of him, and the brothers began to fight for control of the city wall, but they were itching for a while, and their hearts were like cat's claws, unable to maintain a calm heart, and kept asking for help.

"Boss, just let me go~? Give me a team, I assure you, definitely do better than Wu Ruyi and Yuan Zongdi, not like them, mother-in-law, grinding, in less than half an hour, you can seize control of the city! ”

After speaking, Liu Fangliang looked at Li Zicheng with a hopeful face, hoping that the boss would agree to him. However, the other party's answer disappointed him and became depressed.

"No, if you are asked to take the position of stormtrooper, you must not lose the stormtrooper. Lao Tzu doesn't want to lose so many brothers for the sake of a small Han City. Moreover, it is not my purpose to take the city. ”

"Uh~ Boss, then why do you still spend so much effort to let the brothers desperately attack the city, can't you just deal with it hastily?" Liu Fangliang was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubts and puzzlement.

At this time, Li Changmao took over the conversation: "Captain Liu, you still don't understand this?" The boss's ambition is not in Hancheng, but he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to hone his brothers and accumulate opportunities to capture large cities. ”

After a pause, seeing that Liu Fangliang was still a little puzzled, he said again: "To put it bluntly, the boss is training soldiers." Looking back on the past, every battle with the official army, Luye was engaged, and there were few frontal confrontations; And there has never been a battle like the capture of Hanseong. ”

"Oh, I see, you mean, the boss is training his brothers to prepare for the capture of a city like Hancheng in the future." Liu Fangliang nodded suddenly, and then asked suspiciously: "But, what does this have to do with me leading troops to fight and rushing to the city?" ”

Hearing this, Li Changmao smiled bitterly, and couldn't help shaking his head again and again, which made Liu Fangliang very dissatisfied: "Mr. Li, what do you mean by this expression?" Is it looking down on me Liu Fangliang? ”

Liu Fangliang raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and he looked like he wanted to make things bigger and go online, and continued to be indignant: "Mr. Li, I can tell you, although I, Liu Fangliang, am a big boss and respect you." But you can't look down on me like that?! I, Liu Fangliang, am by no means a bad seed, let alone a timid person who is afraid of death, and I can still be afraid of a small Han Cheng, what about death? ”

After saying this, Liu Fangliang also secretly looked at Li Zicheng from the corner of his eye, and there was a little weakness in his strong attitude. At a glance, you can see that this gesture is for Li Zicheng to see.

"Okay, big head Liu, stop making trouble! Can you hide your little caution from me? ”

Li Zicheng stopped Liu Fangliang and prevented him from continuing to play on the topic. With a blank expression, he explained earnestly: "If this is really a battle of attack and defense on the plains, rather than a siege of the city, I will definitely send you up." Moreover, this is the first time that our Li Jiajun has attacked the city head-on, relying on the combat power of the army, the cooperation of various squads and the matching of weapons. ”

"With your reckless, impatient nature, once you go to battle, you forget who you are, let alone my orders. If you are allowed to take the position of vanguard officer, you must not disrupt my overall plan, and if you cannot temper the siege cooperation of the Li family's army, it will cause a large number of casualties among the brothers. What's more, in this attack on Hancheng, we are just a supporting role, we don't need to work so hard, as long as we contain some Ming troops defending the city. ”

Every sentence is reasonable, poking at the weakness, Liu Fangliang was choked speechless, unable to refute, his family knows his own affairs. I deeply know that once I go to the battlefield, I am not only a madman, but also a stunned young man, who only knows how to fight for a while, and any strategies and strategies for using troops will be left behind.

Thinking of this, Liu Fangliang put away his babbling demeanor, looked apologetic, and looked at Li Changmao: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry~!" I didn't mean to target you, I just wanted to fight too much. As soon as I saw the war scene, I couldn't help but itch my hands and wanted to go up to fight. ”

"Hehe, Captain Liu, I can understand your feelings, it's nothing." Li Changmao smiled slightly, waved his hand, and cared, but felt that Liu Fangliang was very cute, and comforted: "Captain Liu, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, the boss is purely training and accumulating experience this time." Rest assured, you still have a chance in the future. Moreover, I can assure you that in the future, whether it is the battle of the plains or the capture of the city, it will definitely be more enjoyable than today's battle. ”

Hearing this, Liu Fangliang swept away the decadent color, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking, "What you said is true?" ”

After asking, at the same time, Liu Fangliang also secretly looked at Li Zicheng, and saw that the other party had no intention of refutating, so he believed a lot in his heart, and turned to look at Li Changmao, waiting for the other party's explanation.

Li Changmao smiled indifferently, pointed to the battlefield scene in the distance freely, and said confidently: "Captain Liu, you might as well take a closer look, although the brothers fought very enthusiastically, the officers and soldiers defending the city couldn't raise their heads. However, so far, we still haven't taken the city, don't you think the soldiers' actions are a little constrained? ”

Looking intently, looking into the distance, Liu Fangliang was really careful and patiently observed.

Finally, Liu Fangliang discovered the abnormality, although the offensive on his side was large, it was not so strong. At critical moments, when it was time to gain control of the city, they would be driven out for no reason, and soldiers would slide down the ladder or down the rope tied to the ladder.

And then, again and again! Although the scene was tragic, most of the injured were injured and very few died.

And, most importantly, at any time, I have never seen ropes tied to both sides of the ladder, which is very abnormal.

In an instant, Liu Fangliang had a hint of enlightenment, and understood Li Zicheng's words even more, if he led people to charge, the number of dead and wounded would increase significantly. Because Liu Fangliang understands that if he captures the city, he will rely on his bloodthirsty fighting temperament, unless he dies in battle. Otherwise, the soldiers will never be allowed to retreat, let alone withdraw from the city.

At the same time, in the direction of the south gate, Miao Mei commanded his subordinates to storm the city, looking at the chaotic scene, his brows were furrowed, and in just one morning, hundreds of people had been lost. Looking at the officers and soldiers defending the city who were still resisting, his heart was even more irritable.

A soldier ran quickly, and as soon as he stood still, without waiting for Miao Mei to ask, he hurriedly said: "Leader, according to the news sent by our people and the leader of the king, the battle at the east gate was extremely fierce, and the casualties were very large. Moreover, Li Zicheng and Leader Li greeted us here and the other two city gates respectively, and the Li family army will suspend the offensive and capture Hancheng, and it can only rely on us and the king to lead them. ”

Hearing this, Miao Mei's forehead wrinkled even deeper, and then she turned her head to look at the soldier and asked, "Li Zicheng's fight over there is really miserable, and there is no intention of releasing water?" ”

"Well, yes, Chief, I'm pretty sure that my subordinates saw it from afar." The soldier nodded heavily, and replied in the affirmative.

Miao Mei looked at the battlefield again, looked in the direction of Han Cheng, her expression was not relaxed at all, but she was even more puzzled, and muttered: "It's really strange, what is Li Zicheng's idea of fighting?" After attacking Hancheng, there is no profit to be gained, how can he fight so hard? ”
