Chapter 301: Siege of Jinhua City
Just when Shi Ren was disdainful of Yun Ze's troops, Yue Pengju and Gao Chong had already arrived at Jinhua Mansion and Jiangshan Mansion in two ways, and it was really impossible for a force of 20,000 people to capture the two strong cities.
After all, 20,000 people faced Jinhua and Jiangshan, two cities with a population of more than 300,000, and it was difficult to just defend the four city gates and prevent the enemies in the city from standing out.
Not to mention attacking the city wall and taking down the two cities, no wonder Shi Ren didn't worry at all, and he didn't even send reinforcements.
The defending generals of Jinhua City and Jiangshan City looked at the 20,000 troops that appeared outside the city, and their eyes were full of mockery. The general of the defenders of Jinhua City was standing on the head of the city with his lieutenant general at this time.
"Adjutant General, have the people from the four military towns around Jinhua City already rushed over?" The main general of the defenders said lightly, there are six military towns around Jinhua City.
Although, two of them have been eliminated by Yue Pengju, but the remaining four are not on the way to Yue Pengju's army, so they did not take them.
The lord of Jinhua City wants to use the strength of the four military towns to unite, plus the 50,000 defenders in the city, a total of 60,000 people, to wipe out the 20,000 people in front of him outside Jinhua City.
What he is waiting for now is for reinforcements from the four military towns to arrive, and then to meet with each other.
"Back to the general, the four military towns have replied, and they should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon, and at that time, as long as they light the wolf smoke, we can rush out and flank the enemy troops outside the city."
The adjutant general hurriedly replied respectfully: "The general's clever plan...... Those people outside the city really don't know whether they are alive or dead, they are afraid that they will never think that we will take the initiative. At that time, they will not be able to fly. ”
His voice was full of sycophants, and he looked at the main general with a flattering face.
When the main general heard this, his face showed a sense of pride, and the corners of his mouth looked out of the city slightly hooked and said: "What bullshit Yue Pengju, what kind of unparalleled fierce general who made a big fuss about the Jin Army, it is just a waste of fame, that Yun Ze is only afraid that he will be boasted of, he is afraid that his brain will let the donkey kick, and he dares to use an army of 40,000 to attack my Zhejiang Yongbo Town, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”
"Tomorrow, Ben will let them know what it means to be inadequate...... I was going to let the world know that they were nothing more than straw bales. Haha......" laughed wildly, and the lord shook his hand and walked under the city wall.
"Everyone cheer up Ben, don't let them attack the city tonight!"
When the adjutant general and other generals heard this, they immediately responded in high spirits, and their eyes were also rising. There was a sense of eagerness to try.
After all, Yue Pengju, a general from outside the city, is a fierce general who has been rumored to be very evil recently, and when the Jin army attacked the capital not long ago, this person broke into the gold camp several times.
Moreover, I heard that this person also worked with Yun Ze and Gao Chong, as well as other Qinwang troops, to destroy the 30,000 cavalry of the Jin army. When he returned to Danyang, he destroyed Guo Zhaotu, the fierce general who surrendered to the Jin army, on the way. Also destroyed were 30,000 Guo Jiajun.
Such a record has made Yue Pengju and Gao Favor, as well as Yun Ze famous all over the world, but these people feel that it is more of an exaggeration. Jealousy is at odds. behaved disdainfully towards Yue Pengju, Gao Chong, and Yun Ze.
Even these people felt that if they really ran into Yue Pengju, Gao Chong, or Yun Ze, they could easily handle it casually. Raise your hand and slap them at your feet.
Now. The main general of Jinhua City has encountered such an opportunity, as long as he defeats Yue Pengju, then he will become famous all over the world.
Outside Jinhua City, Yue Pengju looked at Jiancheng in front of him, his expression was cold, and beside him was Yang Xing, his right-hand man, and the two stood side by side.
"General, is this tactic of encircling and sending reinforcements really feasible! After all, our forces are limited, and besides, the 50,000 Wujing troops in Jinhua City have good combat strength, if they attack with all their troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our side to deal with it. ”
Yang Xing looked at Yue Peng and said, they only had 20,000 men under them, and now they had sent 6,000 people to fight against the reinforcements of 10,000 people in the four military towns, and the other 1,000 people were sent to guard the other three city gates, and the troops were too scattered.
If the 50,000 troops of Jinhua City poured out, it would probably be a fatal blow to them. After all, the strength of the other three city gates is only 1,000 people, and it is okay to prevent a small number of enemy troops from leaving the city, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist with a large number of troops leaving the city.
When Yue Peng heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Yang Xing and said, "Yang Guang, don't underestimate the art of war of the eldest brother, and don't underestimate my 20,000 army. Compared with the combat power, the five thousand brothers before us, I am afraid that the combat power may not be comparable to theirs. ”
"Not to mention, there are five hundred musketeers at the four city gates, don't forget, there are also forty mountain cannons we brought, and ten are placed at each city gate, and they can't rush out, these new weapons researched by the eldest brother are the key to victory. The art of war is one of them, weapons are the most important, and if they are used well, even if there are fewer people, it is possible to capture the fortified city in front of them. ”
Yue Pengju's face was full of confidence, after he had studied Yun Ze's military book, his combat thinking had long since changed, and combined with modern weapons, he felt even more eye-opening.
And this time it was just a practice for him, and as for those reinforcements, he didn't even send the troops with new weapons. Only six thousand cavalry were sent. 10,000 reinforcements, 6,000 cavalry can be easily annihilated.
Yue Pengju had already guessed that it would be impossible for the Jinhua City Lord to go out of the city to fight him, after all, his prestige against the Jinren was still there, and the safest way for the other party was to make trouble for him in the rear. Then, while he was in chaos, he sent troops to attack him.
If it was someone else, it might have fallen into his plan, but Yue Pengju had already thought of the other party, and he combined with Yun Ze's words to encircle the point to help, and directly besieged Jinhua City without fighting.
And the city lord of Jinhua City did not attack him at the first time, it had already confirmed his guess, and the other party did not even attack tentatively.
He could imagine that the Jinhua City Lord would only look at them with contempt on the city wall with confidence at this time. And what he has to do is to surprise the Jinhua City Lord and lose the city unknowingly.
The same situation also appeared in the Jiangtong City attacked by Gao Chong, Gao Chong also used the encirclement point to send reinforcements, and he, like Yue Pengju, had 2,000 musketeers in his hands and forty mountain artillery.
As for the hot air balloons, there are also ten, but there is no need for hot air balloons at this time, unless the Wu Jing army of Jiangshan City is closed and does not come out, otherwise, he has enough tactics to capture Jiangshan City.
At the same time, Shi Ren, who was in Jiaxing Mansion, was waiting for the battle report from the front, and Fang La and others in Suzhou and Hangzhou City also received the news that Yunze had sent troops to Yongbo Town, Zhejiang.
Fang La's eyes were full of impatience, he summoned a group of generals under his command to discuss with Wenchen, this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to seize Danyang City.
Fang La's Suzhou-Hangzhou Yongle Dynasty is not far from Yunze's Danyang Mansion, although there is a small county town in Yongbo Town, Zhejiang, but if he wants to enter Danyang City, he can still do it easily.
"The king, the minister thinks that the attack on Danyang City is better to take it slowly, that Yun Ze has repelled the Jin people, although he is attacking Zhejiang Yongbo Town, but this person is very strategic, it is absolutely impossible not to know to guard the rear, if we attack at this time, or may fall into his trap."
"We might as well befriend him and send troops to help him take Zhejiang Yongbo Town, if we help, Shi Ren of Zhejiang Yongbo has only one way to lose, and we can also take the opportunity to occupy some more land in Zhejiang Yongbo Town, after all, the territory of our Yongle Dynasty is not large, and Zhejiang Yongbo Town borders our dynasty, and it can be incorporated into our dynasty."
Below the main hall, the head of the civil ministers, Prime Minister Wang Yindao.
"King, Wang Xiangzhi would not dare to agree, although Yun Ze has some wisdom and bravery, he has already sent 40,000 troops to attack Zhejiang Yongbo Town, how many troops can he have in his hands now? Even if there are 100,000, it is estimated that the 100,000 people under his command are all Xinding, what combat effectiveness can such an army have. ”
"If we don't take the opportunity to take down Danyang Mansion at this time, when Shi Ren defeats Yun Ze, he will take the wealth of Danyang City and Yun Ze for himself. Don't forget, Shi Ren now has Western firearms to help! ”
Fang La's general Li Tianyan said loudly, his eyes were full of greed. There was a domineering and cold body on his body. He glanced at Wang Yin coldly, and the corners of his mouth were full of mockery.
When Wang Yin heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before his words could be spoken, several generals stepped forward and said: "King, this is a good opportunity, if we can take Danyang, we will win the world, but it will be much easier, the wealth of Danyang City, I am afraid that it is the richest place in the entire Jing Dynasty, and some of his businesses are really too profitable!" ”
"Yes, my lord, don't miss this opportunity and send troops...... We are willing to ...... pioneers"
"King, don't miss the opportunity, I'm willing to die for the king......"
In the main hall, almost ninety percent of the people agreed to attack Danyang City, and only Wang Yin and a few other ministers could see farther. But their words have been drowned out by the generals.
On the throne, Fang La's face was full of joy, and more of it was greedy. He also has a keen eye on Yunze's wealth, and of course, he also has a keen eye on Danyang City, a city that has begun to appear as an industrial city.
"Good...... General Li, General Deng, this king will give you 100,000 troops, and if you don't send troops to Danyang, you must take Danyang completely to this king. ”
"The last general commands!"
Fang La made the final decision, and Li Tianyan and Deng Yuanjue, who were assigned the task, were full of joy on their faces, and their expressions were full of expectation. As for the 40,000 troops who went on the expedition, as well as Yue Pengju and Gao Chong and others.
They automatically ignored it, or they instinctively felt that the 40,000 army, Yue Pengju, and Gao Zhong had no chance to return to Danyang City.
Just when the Yongle Dynasty sent troops to Danyang, the Nanjing Dynasty established by King Kang also sent troops to Danyang City after discussion.
As for the Beijing Dynasty of King Ming bordering Yunze, at this time, Song Heng, the Emperor of Beijing, sat on the dragon chair, his expression was full of hesitation.
