Chapter Twenty-Nine--The Rat-Throwing Device

"It's a pity, I left in a hurry when I came, and I didn't carry siege weapons and gunpowder bags. Ay! ”

Chen Yu, who was worried about it, glanced at Tang Shuangxi, who was sighing with emotion, and answered: "Who said it wasn't, you see, now our brothers can only hold the ladder to attack hard, and the casualties are a bit big......"

When Chen Yu talked about casualties, Tang Shuangxi also frowned.

I came here just to grab credit, and even at the expense of disobeying Zhang Yun's intentions, I wanted to do it in order to show my ability in front of 30 colleagues. Let Zhang Yun be impressed.

In this way, even if Zhang Yun hates himself for being too smart. But as long as he still has the heart to dominate the world in his chest, he must rely on himself, which is also the fastest shortcut!

Otherwise, compete fairly with 30 colleagues. Who knows, what the result will be then!

In case he was forced to be pressed by his former colleagues, Tang Shuangxi felt that he would vomit to death......

Therefore, at this moment, Tang Shuangxi, looking at the corpses of his own side at the head of the city, was thrown down one after another like waste, how could he not be angry?

……

At this time, on the head of the city, all the musketeers who had already had bayonets on the front of the muskets, and the miscellaneous soldiers of the Ming army, were already engaged in bloody hand-to-hand combat!

In this kind of war, skills and martial arts actually do not have much effect, and there are people in front and behind, left and right, either enemies or comrades-in-arms. Almost everyone can only stab forward, the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins!

At this moment, the person with the big blade is really at a loss......

The earth-shattering screams could not hide the screams before death, and the bloody siege battle only began for a quarter of an hour. The bricks on the top of the city were already completely stained red with blood.

The corpses that have fallen are in the way of both the enemy and the enemy.

Therefore, there was a scene of corpses raining down on the city!

And almost every time his own corpse fell, Tang Shuangxi and Chen Yu's faces had to twitch, and soon, Tang Shuangxi felt unbearable and spoke.

"Brother Chen, it's really not okay to go on like this, we only have about 10,000 men and horses in our hands, and we are fighting with the Ming army, it is obvious that we are at a loss, we have to find a way......"

When Tang Shuangxi said this, Chen Yu subconsciously glanced at the more than 20,000 cavalry neatly arranged two miles behind him. Just when I was about to say something.

Tang Shuangxi, who discovered his intentions, said: "I persuaded Brother Chen not to fight the idea of those wastes behind, you don't want to think about it, just because Li Chuan died alone, more than 20,000 of them gave up, and the city that was about to be captured turned around and ran, what is the use of such an army?" ”

"What's more, the status of the two of us is not qualified to order them, if we have the upper hand and let them see the hope of breaking the city, then they don't need us to say anything, they will automatically pounce on them to grab the credit."

"On the contrary, no matter what we say to them, it is impossible to get these birdmen to fight......

Tang Shuangxi said it too plainly, and Chen Yu could only let go of some careful thoughts in his heart. Turned his head to look at the city wall and said: "Brother Tang, now that the battle situation has fallen into a stalemate, those people are condescending, they really take advantage of it, if there is nothing else, I'm afraid we may not be able to capture here, do you think we are going up to the front line to supervise the battle?" ”

"Overseer?"

Tang Shuangxi asked rhetorically, and saw Chen Yu nodding. I suddenly felt a toothache and remembered the mysterious archer......

It seems that this Chen Yu is crazy about wanting to be promoted. Now it has even reached the point of disregarding his own safety. I can't go crazy with him.

Therefore, Tang Shuangxi pondered and said: "Brother Chen, don't be too eager, even if we can't capture this city for a while, we can let the troops withdraw, and then continue to think of other ways, anyway, it will take a day or two for Daochang Zhang to get here, we have time." ”

Listening to the meaning of Tang Shuangxi's words, it seems that there is a sense of retreat. Chen Yu's heart couldn't help but be anxious, you must know that he was the first person to take the lead and violate Zhang Yun's intentions......

Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Brother Tang, you don't want to retreat, do you?" ”

Tang Shuangxi glanced at Chen Yu, whose face was eager, and confirmed his conjecture even more. He Chen Yu just wanted to sacrifice the lives of all his subordinates to see if he could open this city and gain a future, so he didn't care about him at all, and when he turned around, he ordered Tang Chun to come to Mingjin to collect his troops......

Seeing that Tang Shuangxi really did this, Chen Yu's face was distorted at this moment, and if possible, he even wanted to pull out a bayonet and give it to him.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world, one side withdrew its troops, and it was obvious that the thousands of soldiers and horses under his own hands were delivering food, so Chen Yu, who was resentful in his heart, could only order Mingjin to withdraw his troops......

After Tang Shuangxi and Chen Yu withdrew their troops, they didn't mention how the Ming army rejoiced in the city!

At this moment, in the tent of the temporary coalition command outside the city, there was already tension and the atmosphere was very solemn......

Since Li Chuan's death, Xu Bao, who was missing one eye and two ears, relied on his scheming and high status to seize the command of this cavalry. Now is the time for complacency. But at this moment, he looked at it, Chen Yu and Tang Shuangxi were fighting cross-eyes. It's a headache for a while!

After thinking about it, he still had to persuade him, so he said, "Why should the two of you be angry? It doesn't matter if you can't capture the city for a while. In another two or three days at most, Zhang Daochang will arrive here with hundreds of thousands of horses, and when the time comes, one person can flood the Liupanshui City with a mouthful of saliva......"

Listening to Xu Bao's words that had nothing to do with him, Tang Shuangxi and Xu Bao twitched the corners of their mouths at the same time.

Xu Bao may not know that the two of them rushed here against Zhang Yun's intentions. In this case, Xu Bao can wait! How can the two of them wait?

However, under Xu Bao's gag, the atmosphere in the tent was eased.

But Chen Yu still yelled at Tang Shuangxi with a blue face: "Why withdraw the troops? Lao Tzu needs an explanation. ”

Tang Shuangxi glanced up at Chen Yu but ignored his words, and was silent for a while before he said, "Now let's not say anything useless, let's find a good way to break the city." ”

"It's too big to sacrifice with the original offensive method, and in the end, even if Liupanshui is captured, the dream of the two brothers is estimated to be shattered, Zhang Daochang is not a benevolent person."

Hearing Tang Shuangxi talk about breaking the city, Xu Bao, who just wanted to interject, suddenly pursed his lips tightly, and he had already made up his mind in his heart and said nothing on this issue.

Fortunately, no one noticed him Xu Bao at this time, Chen Yu gasped and said, "What else can I think of?" At most, we will transfer all the men and horses up, attack only one of the walls, and use all the muskets to suppress the resistance at the head of the city......"

Tang Shuangxi heard a sneer on the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Suppressed the firepower of the city, and then what?" ”

Chen Yu was stunned by the question, and a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he just wanted to slap the table, but he remembered the words 'then'. There was silence.

It was not that their own army had not attacked the city just now, in fact, before the attack, their own musketeers had already suppressed the Ming army in the city and could not raise their heads.

But this is useless, and after your own men rush to the city, will the people below who are responsible for suppressing still be able to shoot?

Tang Shuangxi saw that Chen Yu's arrogance was finally suppressed, and after sighing, he said in a deep voice: "What Brother Chen said is not unreasonable, just now we were dispersing our troops, and when we go to war again, we have to remember this lesson!" ”

"Just talking about how to siege the city? But it's not just that you can succeed with this method, the reason why Tang withdrew his troops just now was because he thought of a method that was not a way. ”

When Tang Shuangxi said this, all the middle and senior officers in the tent looked at him. There was no coquettishness, and he said it directly.

"Brother Chen, you should still have a large amount of gunpowder on hand to use as bullets for muskets, right?"

Chen Yu was a little puzzled, but he immediately reacted, and said with some horror: "Brother Tang means that let's gather all the gunpowder used to make bullets for muskets and make a gunpowder bag, right?" ”

"It's just that in this way, the 10,000 men and horses under our command will instantly become spearmen, and the most important thing is that I don't know if we can break the city......"

Seeing that Chen Yu was afraid of wolves and tigers, Tang Shuangxi rolled his eyelids and choked: "Then may I ask Brother Chen, what other good way do you have to break the city now?" ”

Chen Yu was silent for a while, but his gaze became more and more determined......
