Chapter 20: Artillery Execution
Rumble!
There was another round of artillery fire, and the city tower more than ten meters high was blown down.
There were also a few soldiers who stood on the city wall and had no time to hide, and they were blown up and flew out of the city on the spot.
Naturally landed, falling into a puddle of mud.
The Jinyi guards and Jin Wuwei outside the city were expressionless, including the artillery men of the Shenji Battalion, who also looked extremely calm.
Because they are the elite trump cards in the Forbidden City at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
They've seen bloodier scenes than this.
However, many of the defenders in Wucheng City were frightened.
They haven't seen it!
That's right!
Wucheng is located in the corner of Xuanfu border town, which is relatively backward.
It has always been regarded as a transit military town for the retreat of the Xuanfu border army.
So don't get close to the front line, and don't fight.
Even if the Xuanfu encountered an enemy situation in front, it was the elite of the Xuanfu who scribbled the resistance in front.
The defenders of Wucheng transported food and grass in the rear, provided rest, or occasionally treated the wounded or something.
In addition, the red-coated cannon is also a unique product of the Ming Dynasty in the current history and looking at the whole world.
The soldiers of Wucheng had only seen red-clothed cannons bombarding Jiannu before.
It felt unspeakably sour.
Now the backlash is on their side.
I was really scared to pee.
No kidding at all.
A shot fell in the city, and the two-story B&B of more than 30 square meters on the side of the street collapsed directly.
It can also smash a hole in the ground level.
The most devastated thing today is the city walls of Wucheng.
Grooves of varying shades have appeared.
If you want to attack the city, you don't need any equipment at all.
Direct soldiers can climb up those craters steadily......
In these circumstances, the defenders of Wucheng are seeing is believing.
They were completely shaken at this point.
"Open the city gate quickly, the court will pay us military salaries, why do we have to go against the court?"
"That's right, open the gates."
The soldiers crowded in front of the captain of the city gate.
The captain held a knife and shouted angrily: "I also want to open, how could I ever want to cause trouble to Xiao Wall, but let me go and tell the general." ”
"If he is still obsessed and makes a mistake to the end, it will not be too late for me to wait."
The lieutenant also took into account the suppression of General Wucheng.
He decided to persuade him.
As long as the city gates are opened, everyone will be safe.
At least, Dou Xiao, as their immediate boss, also asked the court for military salaries for them, provoking a military mutiny.
That's right, that's what the lieutenant thinks.
Because that's how Dou Xiao pretended to be righteous and told them.
But they were used.
The soldiers in Wucheng were also willing to give Dou Xiao a chance.
Therefore, they hid and asked the captain to go and report.
By this time, the artillery outside the city had stopped bombing.
Lu Delin signaled that the Shenji Battalion could be withdrawn.
The lieutenant of the Shenji battalion ordered the artillery to quickly withdraw from the battle position.
At this time, Liu Junji, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu who accompanied Lu Delin and Di Changgong, asked puzzledly: "Lu Shuai, why did you stop the bombing?" Those rebels deserve no mercy. ”
This is Liu Junji's truest inner thoughts.
He wanted the matter to be exposed, so he tried every means to kill Dou Xiao and kill him.
Now it is just with the help of Lu Delin's dragon knife to level Wucheng.
When the time comes, there is no proof of death, and he will naturally be able to get along safely.
But who is Lu Delin?
He was sent by Zhou Xian, and before leaving, Zhou Xian gave him a special explanation.
To take people, to live.
Of course, Lu Delin knows what Zhou Xian is going to do.
Therefore, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Junji, and said in a flat tone:
"Why destroy them?"
"The horse lord has a will, just need to deter."
"Besides, the military salary of the Xuanfu has been paid, and the Wucheng will also be issued as usual."
Lu Delin's words are punns, but they are more about killing people.
Liu Junji said worriedly: "But, but the rebel thieves can't open the door, didn't Lu Shuai say that they are rebelling?" ”
"It's just the generals who take the lead in the rebellion, what does it have to do with the soldiers?"
"Pass the order, I will wait for three miles to retreat, besiege but not attack."
"The final choice is for the soldiers of Wucheng to make their own decisions."
Lu Delin deserves to be the queen of the famous general.
He has perfectly inherited the sublime tactical concept of attacking people first and attacking the heart first.
Di Changgong praised from the bottom of his heart: "Lu Shuai is really thoughtful, and he uses soldiers like a god!" ”
Liu Junji snorted disdainfully.
Lu Delin was thin-skinned, waved his hand and said: "It's not that I use soldiers like gods, but that I use soldiers like gods." ”
"Huh? What does Lu Shuai mean by this? ”
Liu Junji was suddenly curious.
Lu Delin smiled: "It's not a secret, before Lu left the palace, the concubine who supervised the country specially explained that he should focus on the overall situation, and he should not kill the soldiers until he had to." is the so-called capture of the thief and the head, Ben Shuai just acted according to the arrangement of the horse master. ”
Lu Delin's words and the previous words were all taking the opportunity to knock Liu Junji.
In fact, after Liu Junji heard this, his figure was slightly stunned.
Suddenly I felt that I had underestimated the son-in-law who sat in the palace and replaced Chongzhen in prison?
Soon, the sun was on the rise.
Outside the city, the Jin Wuwei is still neat.
Jin Yiwei was a little untenable.
Under the scorching sun, they couldn't stand it.
After all, the Jinyiwei with this idea has long lost the proud demeanor of Zhu Di when he created the Jinyiwei after the Battle of Jingjing.
Even Di Changgong is a little unable to withstand the scorching sun.
At this moment, there was a sound of gold and iron with swords colliding in the martial city.
It's time to fight!
The righteous soldiers, who had been exploited and bullied, could no longer tolerate the moral kidnapping of the corrupt rebels.
So they picked up their weapons and rushed to the city gate.
They want to open the city and surrender to sincerity.
They demanded a military pay.
They were to work for the court, not for the capitalists.
In the middle of a fight in the inner city.
Dou Xiao, the general of Wucheng, took a look and prepared two carriages, silver two, and three sedans.
Each sedan chair is crowded with five or six charming girls.
They are all the wives and concubines that Dou Xiao has included over the years.
Dou Xiao was accompanied by his own soldiers.
These soldiers have taken a lot of benefits from Dou Xiao.
is also Dou Xiao's confidant.
A large group of people tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape from Wucheng.
Huang Shouren, the mastermind behind Dou Xiao, has already prepared a route for him to escape.
All you need to do is get out of Wucheng and run towards the Mongolian side.
He will be picked up on the Mongolian border.
That's right!
It's an escape from Mongolia!
The plot in the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" Shura Purgatory is not fictional.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the corrupt officials who were tracked down went to Mongolia for refuge.
Compared to them, they are a little bit backbone.
On the other hand, those soft bones directly took the gold and silver and the woman's family and fled to the jurisdiction of Jiannu.
Those are traitors!
Dou Xiao at this time is like this.
However, he had not yet left Wucheng, and the vanguard of Jin Wuwei had already appeared in Wucheng City.
The righteous soldiers killed the stubborn captain of the city gate and opened the city to meet Jin Wuwei.
