Just when everyone thought that there was no hope, when they heard Zhang Wen say this, their eyes were immediately full of hope. However, Zhang Wen just seemed to have a good plan in his chest, and his face was profound.

"My lord, this ...... What is the method? Zhang Zhao finally couldn't help but ask everyone's thoughts.

"The walls of Qinghe Fort are strong, and it is impossible to dig in this stupid way without a few hours, don't worry." Zhang Wen only said this one sentence and walked out of the tower, and all the generals and Zhang Yingxuanyue and others followed out in confusion, only to see Zhang Wen standing at the door and looking at the city.

Wang Xi couldn't help but ask, "Are you already preparing for a decisive battle with Jianyu in the city?" ”

"Sooner or later, they will have to enter the city," Zhang Wen muttered, pointing to the streets of the city that run straight from east to west, north and south, "and the houses next to here are also scattered, and when we will spread the fire guns in the houses on both sides of the street, and when the prisoners rush into the city and crowd the streets, we will fire together in turns, and we will surely be able to kill a large number of people." ”

"This way it works!" After listening to this, the generals also observed the scene in the city for a while, and they all nodded in agreement.

Zhang Zhao expressed the doubts in his heart at this time: "When Jianyu rushed into the city, the people were panicked, and the troops were arranged in the houses, and the generals could not supervise them at any time, for fear of chaos before the war. ”

"You're right, this is the key to the success or failure of this plan...... Zhang Wen looked sincere, "I heard that in order to sacrifice the souls of the dead, each soul has to be sacrificed by two living people. They have killed and wounded thousands of people in the siege, so according to their customs, they will have to kill ten thousand of us to rest the souls of the dead......" His gaze fell on the generals who were holding their breath in fright, "So once the city is broken, we will not survive." Do you understand? ”

Wang Xi was stunned and said: "Jianyu really has such a custom? ”

Zhang asked Wang Xi and glanced at him: "Of course, I came up with it temporarily." ”

Wang Xi touched his head after hearing this, as if he didn't understand what Zhang Wen said.

Zhang Zhao understood: "Anyway, regardless of whether this thing is true or not, let's just ask someone to spread this word to the army, and the prisoners are all ghosts who kill people without blinking." When the city is broken, the army can only fight to the death, and will not disarm and surrender. Does General Wang understand the purpose of the adults? ”

"That's the intention!" Wang Xi patted his head, and then he understood.

Zhang Wen glanced at Zhang Zhao appreciatively, and then said: "In addition to this, you send people to block the north gate, and then you have people burn all the grain in the castle, and then tell everyone that if the Jianyu conquers the city, if they can't grab the food, they will skin the Han people alive and eat meat." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Soon after receiving the order, the generals saw a raging fire burning in the west of the city, and the defenders immediately shouted when they saw the fire: "The grain and grass warehouse is on fire!" ”

Everyone was very panicked and desperate when they heard this, and at this time, someone mixed in: "I heard that Jianyu built the castle and couldn't grab food, so he would skin, debon, and roast our Han people!" ”

"The barbarian gods and dead souls must be sacrificed with living people!"

"For every soul that dies under the castle, Jianyu wants to kill two Han people. If we are caught, we will either be eaten or killed......"

…………

Such rumors spread throughout the castle, and for several hours the defenders were in an atmosphere of terror, and the captives under the city were no longer human, but simply wolves and beasts! The army could only desperately resist and not let Jianyu in.

The bullet struck Sergeant Jianyu Zhuangding fiercely, with disgust, hatred and fear. Just like the people who are besieged by wolves, except for a small number of people who will be so frightened that they will not obey the call, most of them will resist the killing with all their weapons, because people and hungry wolves have no reason to talk about, there are no conditions to say, and if they don't want to be torn apart and eaten, they can only keep killing the attacking wolves.

Zhang Wen braved the rain of arrows to patrol everywhere in a timely manner, telling everyone that the north gate had been blocked, and what he could do now was to boost morale to the greatest extent.

"It is the dream of a husband to die on the battlefield and be loyal to the country, and today I can serve the country with my brothers with my flesh and blood, and I have no hatred in this life!"

"Brothers who have fought with this official in the Suzi River and in the jungle of Jianzhou, believe me, as long as I am there, I can keep everyone alive and win the battle!"

"The Jianyu people are so barbaric, killing my compatriots and insulting my Ming. How can the territory of my Ming Dynasty be trampled on at will? For the sake of the villagers and elders behind us and the people of Limin, everyone will fight to the end! ”

"Now everyone knows that our city is about to be broken, it's useless to be afraid, retreating is death, there is still a way to live, Jianyu is also raised by his mother's father, kill a bloody road, we have to go back alive! Live to see your loved ones! ”

…………

In the words, there is a great meaning of "believe Zhang Wen, and you will have eternal life", but in places where despair and fear are shrouded, Zhang Wen's impassioned words can play a certain role.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Wen went back and poured a pot of water, and then said to the generals: "The wall in the east of the city is about to collapse, so immediately arrange the birds and guns in the houses in each street, and gather cavalry to prepare for street fighting. ”

The congregation will listen to the order and each of them will gather his own birds. When the troops were assembled, Zhang Wen came to the front of the battle, boosted morale, and said to the army: "Listen to the sound of the drums, when the drums are urgent, they will fire together and beat the prisoners who rushed into the city to death." Remember, what we're holding in our hands is a weapon! If they burst into the house, they were hacked to death with a knife, and if they set fire to it, they rushed out and killed. As long as one person kills one Jiangu, Jianguo will suffer more than 10,000 casualties in an instant, and if he kills two, it will be 20,000 people. Kill one is enough, kill two and earn one! ”

When the army heard this, they shouted to kill and kill, and the crowd was excited, as if they were all lambs to be killed.

There was a loud bang, and the city wall was finally dug up in the pile of corpses, and a cloud of dust rose into the air.

The guns and shouts on the battlefield suddenly decreased, and the sky above Qinghe Fort, which was filled with gunsmoke and dust, seemed to be quiet, but the real battle was about to begin.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners began to move, gathering in the direction of the collapse, preparing to rush into the city and slaughter.

In the east of the city, there stood a row of Jianyu soldiers with huge horns, "woo" sounded the horn, the horn accompanied by the sound of the cavalry's hooves echoed on the ground, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners screamed and rushed towards the collapsed place, the dust was filled, and the shouts shook the sky.

The Zhangzhao infantry at the gate of the city saw the Jianyu Iron Cavalry rushing towards him, and there was no need to feint defeat at all, they had already been frightened and ran away. Zhang Zhao didn't react at this time, looking around, everyone ran away, only a team of personal soldiers was left, and then they also rode wildly.

Seeing this, the Jianyu striker rushed to chase after him. The soldiers of the Zhang Zhao Department ran around, and Jian Yu chased and shot with bows and arrows, and soon moved to all the streets and alleys, and people and horses were boiling everywhere.

Zhang Wen watched Zhang Zhao and the others being chased by a heavy cavalry from behind, and waited until everyone was so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks before waving his hand and ordering: "Drumming!" ”

When the drummers heard this, they immediately beat the drums desperately, and the gunners on both sides of the street eagerly stretched the muzzles of rows of black holes out of the windows and walls.

"Bang bang ......" gunsmoke erupted everywhere and resounded. The city was suddenly in a commotion, like a pot of gruel, the men and horses were chaotic, screaming everywhere, and the guns and bullets were shot against the dense cavalry of Jianyu, and the blood suddenly broke out.

At the end of the round, the firecrackers in the house immediately changed, and almost instantly, thousands of casualties were inflicted. As Zhang Wen expected, a gun killing one person can kill 10,000 people in an instant, although not every shot must be hit, but the crowd is dense, and it is completely possible to kill people in one round, counting in thousands. Shooting at close range, the penetration of lead bullets is extremely strong, and the heavy cavalry armor of Jianyu is completely useless.

The forward Jianlu chased in front of Zhang Wenzhong's army, and several generals' artillery pieces were immediately pushed up, and the Jianguo army did not have time to turn around and countless small projectiles flew out, pouring into the Jianyu crowd like sand and stones blown by the wind, and they died instantly.

"Liu Ling's troops attack!"

With Zhang Wen's order, Liu Ling had long wanted to avenge the heavy wound of Jianyu, although the arrow wound had not healed, but he rushed out first, raised his big knife, shouted "kill" and began to slash and kill, Jianguo had already been beaten by the fire and suffered heavy casualties, Liu Ling was almost unstoppable!

The soldiers on the streets, ambushed and shot by the firecrackers on both sides, were as painful as being covered by a hornet's nest on their heads, brandishing guns and sticks and could not find anyone, so they could only dismount and rush to the door.

Some of them started to set fire to their houses, but there was no firewood and grease to help them burn, and it took time to burn them completely. However, the ambush soldiers in the house were shooting all the time, and they continued to harvest the lives of the Jianyu cavalry. In the west, Liu Ling's troops quickly advanced again, and the Jianyu was in chaos.

In the streets and alleys, the Ming army fought on all sides, and the entire city became purgatory, and corpses and flesh could be seen everywhere......

Zhang Wen and his generals Jiang Ji, Li Xinde and others climbed up to the tower in Xicheng, and saw that more than half of Jianyu had been killed or wounded, and everyone had a look of ecstasy on their faces.

Li Xinde is a veteran, his temples are already gray, and he is so excited to see this scene that he roars: "Victory!" It's going to win! ”

Zhang Wen was also excited, "Just repelling Jianyu is an insult to this official, we want to annihilate the main force of the Eight Banners Army here!" You see that the Jianjiao in the east are already retreating, how can we let them go from the execution ground in vain? Li Xinde, Jiang Ji listens to the order! ”

The two stopped dancing and arched their hands: "The end will be." ”

"Immediately mobilize the troops and horses, cooperate with the cavalry of Qin Qian's headquarters, and follow me to the east city to block and encircle; And shunting the artillery and anti-artillery to the east gate, bombarding and fleeing Jianjiao! ”

Zhang Wen observed that after the Ming army was ambushed, it had already occupied an absolute advantage, and immediately adjusted his strategy and adopted an encirclement offensive.
