After conquering the four cities of Xinye, Zhenping, Nanzhao, and Yuzhou, the rebels not only enriched themselves with money and food, but also seized a large amount of ordnance. Now the soldiers participating in the siege team are equipped with a large number of waist knives, shields, spears, and bows and arrows.
Some of the soldiers also became armored soldiers, especially after killing the officials and wealthy gentry in the city. They felt very proud and proud. Most of the resentment and anger accumulated over the years had been vented with the killings. .
But just venting once is not enough. Those usually aloof men deserve to be killed, killed, and chopped up!
Following the second general, he can kill all the officials and wealthy gentry in Nanyang Mansion, so that the poor people will no longer be oppressed by them!
Natural disasters are certainly terrible, but without these villains who are more ruthless than tigers and wolves, the people would not be worse off than dead.
Evil people have money and power, but ordinary people don't have this.
But when the people have no way out, they will risk their lives and not be afraid of death!
The people can't survive in this shitty world, so they can only find a way out!
This is how Marshal Zhang taught the second general. The second general was able to command an army of tens of thousands at a young age.
It shows that not only can we walk on this road, but we can also walk it very well, feel great and comfortable!
This is the way we poor people should go!
The rich take the road of power! Take the money route!
We poor people will take the road of death! Take the bloody road!
The only way is to kill him first and turn everything upside down!
Only then can we create a peaceful and prosperous age!
When the Dog Emperor dies, it's a God-sent opportunity!
The opportunity for the poor to make a comeback has come, and they must seize it!
"dash forward!"
"Ride the ladder!"
"Kill all the dog officers and soldiers!"
The 40,000 soldiers of the rebel army braved the artillery fire and rain of arrows from the city wall and launched an unprecedented strong attack on Nanyang City.
Since his own forces had an absolute advantage this time, Zhang Dingguo decided not to attack just one city wall, but to launch a frantic attack on all sides.
As long as one side of the dog army cannot hold on, Nanyang City will be captured by the rebels.
Prince Gou set up defenses at various levels in Nanyang Mansion, but the rebels broke through in depth, causing many lines of defense to be penetrated.
Zhang Dingguo knows how to draw inferences from one instance and not only learn from the experience and lessons of failure, but is also good at summarizing the essence of victory.
Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to your own advantages, so that the rebels can get what they want in the shortest possible time.
With ten thousand people on one wall, Zhang Dingguo didn't believe that the defenders on all sides could withstand such a violent attack!
The garrison soldiers hid behind the parapet and were almost frightened by the scene outside.
The people running over on the ground outside were all thieves, and they were so numerous that it was difficult to count them with the naked eye.
Isn’t this bandit army planning to let Nanyang City go?
How long did it take before he made a comeback?
Isn't it too powerful to remember this grudge?
Even though the city was full of firepower, with fire cannons, bird cannons, and bows and arrows fired at once, killing and injuring no less than four to five hundred people, it seemed that they could not withstand the tsunami-like charge of the rogue bandits.
This gang of bandits acted as if they were not afraid of death. When those in front were knocked down, those behind immediately made up for them. Their strong momentum was completely unstoppable.
Soon they rushed to the ground floor of the city from a mile away. Under the orders of the little leader, the bandits set up ladders one after another and began to climb up with great fanfare.
This time the city defense was quite well prepared. The county magistrate Yao Yunxi had asked the people to take advantage of the previous withdrawal of the bandits to collect a large number of rolling logs and thunder stones from the surrounding areas, as well as the gold juice that had been accumulated for many days.
"Oh my God!"
Yao Yunxi took a single glance through the firing hole and was so frightened that he retracted his neck. Although he is a civil servant, he is also good at numbers and understands that the number of bandits this time is far greater than the previous one.
Even if the invading enemy can be repelled, the difficulty will be much greater than before, and the time will be protracted. Nanyang City may be faced with a precarious situation again.
"Throw it at me! Throw everything you can! Smash these rebels to death!"
The commander-in-chief Zhang Guoqin was in the heaviest mood. As long as the rebels attacked the city, he would be the whole city's hope, and the pressure in his heart increased sharply.
Now that Nanyang City is in dire straits, the only option is to resist desperately and kill and injure the bandits as much as possible in order to delay their attack on the city.
At this point, Zhang Guoqin also gave up his plan to surrender.
After killing so many thieves in the previous game, most of the thieves would not let him go.
Now that he has vowed to defend the city to the death, even if he dies in the final battle, he will still be known as loyal to the emperor and serving the country.
The fact that the imperial court was able to execute Yang Sichang, who had conspired to murder a loyal minister, and rectify the name of Lu Xiangsheng, who died in battle, shows that the prince still knows right from wrong.
In this case, I thought I would be treated like this.
You won't be alone on the road, at least you will have the company of the prefect Wang Jiazhen and the county magistrate Yao Yunxi.
"Stab it down with a gun!"
The bandits quickly climbed up the ladder to the top of the city. Under Zhang Guoqin's supervision, the spearmen immediately picked up the bandits who had just straightened up with their weapons.
Few of the thieves who were stabbed by spears had the strength to fight back, and most of them fell off the ladder. In mild cases, their bones and tendons were broken, while in severe cases, their heads fell to the ground and died on the spot.
No one cares about these wounded soldiers and dead bodies. The soldiers climbing the ladder are all one after another, all with the dream of planting flags and receiving rewards, and there is no way they can care about the plight of their companions.
This was the time when the morale of the rebel army was at its peak. Facing the struggling Nanyang defenders, no one wanted to fall behind and let others receive the silver reward.
In addition to the second general's direct troops, there are 40,000 troops who come to attack the city. Whichever troops enter the city first will get the greatest benefit.
The generals who commanded the army were not stupid, and they were unwilling to give up the huge benefits. After all, Nanyang City was the richest place in the entire Nanyang Mansion.
Zhang Dingguo divided the newly recruited 50,000 troops into fifty battalions, each with a thousand men and one thousand households. Under the thousand households there were ten hundred households, and under the one hundred households there were five generals.
Most of the Qianhu and Baihu are veterans of their direct lineage, and there are only a few surrendered officers and soldiers. The general is Liu Min who is willing to obey his orders. This kind of establishment and appointment is more convenient for him to control himself.
"superior!"
"Come on!"
"Capture the city!"
In order to occupy Nanyang City as soon as possible and carve up the money and women who established it, the rebels also risked their lives.
Since he joined the rebel army and killed officials and wealthy gentry, there was no turning back.
No matter who is in front of him, even the Dog Emperor comes back to life.
Anyone who dares to delay his robbery of money or play with women will be punished!
Even son farming?
How much money can you earn throughout the year?
Wouldn't it be better to follow the second general and sack the city of Baoming?
The dog officers and soldiers are aiding the tyranny, so kill them all first!
On one city wall alone, there were hundreds of ladders erected, almost one on every crenel.
Not only were they climbing up, there were soldiers constantly throwing javelins and shooting arrows underground at the base of the city in an attempt to suppress the firepower at the top of the city.
Under the crazy throwing of the defenders, many people were killed and injured by rolling logs and thunder stones. However, they quickly threw away all their throwing weapons and only had enough gold juice pipes.
Thieves are not afraid of death, but they are always afraid of smell!
The tree trunk that had been hollowed out before was used again to continue pouring golden juice downwards.
Some unlucky soldiers were "enlightened" by the defenders with gold juice before they could climb up the crenellations.
Some of them were even poured directly into their mouths, which was truly "refreshing"!
"The dog officers and soldiers poured the golden juice again!"
"Shameless rat, get down and die!"
The rebel soldiers who had tasted the bitter taste of gold juice before saw this and couldn't help but became furious and began to curse at the city.
"Your grandpa is up there!"
"If you have the ability, the anti-thief Gui Sun will come forward!"
The officers, soldiers, and soldiers were all illiterate and had no other abilities. They had never been afraid of anyone when they were called from across the wall.
"Get down here!"
"Wait for me!"
On the one hand, you want to go up but can't, on the other hand, you simply can't go down.
Both sides were beating, scolding, and drinking...
"Ouch! It's burning me to death!"
"Wait for me to come up! I have to skin you!"
Even if there was gold juice, the thieves below couldn't pour it out, so they could only pour it in vain, and they were so angry that their mouths were filled with smoke.
"Then come up quickly!"
"We men are still waiting to skin you and other rebels!"
The defenders above suppressed the churning in their stomachs and the feeling of vomiting, and kept pouring buckets of golden juice down.
Just like the previous episode, the most lethal weapons are not fire blunderbuss, bird blunderbuss, bows and arrows, or stones, but the inconspicuous golden juice!
The county magistrate Yao Yunxi temporarily acted as a dung boss and raised no less than 500,000 pieces of gold juice for the defenders.
Now the thieves attacking the city from all sides have tasted this otherworldly "deliciousness"!
Looking from a distance, it seems as if the entire Nanyang City is rising with light yellow steam...
The smell was so strong that even the rebel soldiers in the rear were nauseated by the wind.
Especially the rebels fighting underground in Chenggen, due to their lack of preparedness, were stimulated by the golden juice, causing their combat effectiveness to plummet.
The garrison at the top of the city poured gold juice on it with extreme ferocity, causing the soldiers who were fighting to vomit.
After vomiting, both my expression and physical strength were not as good as before. It was difficult to even stand, let alone climb a ladder.
"Dog officers and soldiers! I will cut you alive!"
"Wait for me to come up! I have to make it easier for you!"
The rebel soldiers thought that the dog officers and soldiers were just relying on the tall and strong Nanyang city wall to fight against the trapped beasts.
Once the rebels attack the city, they will definitely repay the humiliation they suffered today tenfold or even a hundredfold.
If you want to fight, then fight, keep pouring gold juice, what is your talent?
I thought that the dog officers and soldiers were all reckless men who dared to fight.
After this battle, I suddenly realized that he was not even a fool.
They are just a group of cowards who are afraid of death and hide behind the city wall to pour gold juice on them.
Being so lazy is worse than the rebels!
No wonder Baoming has ceased to exist in name only!
"Brothers! Withdraw!"
"We men are so angry!"
"Let you, the rats, live one more day!"
The rebel army couldn't stand the scorching sun and the strong smell of gold juice, so they had to withdraw their troops.
At the lower level of the city, there was gold juice, vomit, dead bodies, pools of blood and broken limbs all over the place.
When people look at it, they feel really disgusting and bloody, and even their appetite will disappear immediately.
"Second General! The dog officers and soldiers have returned to their old tricks and poured gold juice on our soldiers!"
Zhang Guangcai hated Zhang Guoqin. This was found out from the mouths of the surrendered officers and soldiers.
If this person can be captured alive, he must be cut into pieces and then light a sky lantern to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"No problem! Let's rest first and attack the city again tomorrow!"
Zhang Dingguo had long expected that his troops' attack on Nanyang City would be frustrated, which was similar to the previous one, but he had plenty of patience and time.
As long as the reinforcements from the Gouguan Army do not come to relieve the siege, the rebels can continue to fight like this, and Nanyang City will be captured by the rebels sooner or later.
So what if there is a lot of gold juice in the city?
Can you prepare so much golden juice every day?
If that were the case, the people in the city would be like a bunch of pigs.
"Report~! Report to the Second General! A group of people came twenty miles west of Nanyang City. They are said to be from the 'Little Fifth Battalion'. The leaders are Wang Guoning, Yang Youxian, and Chang Guoan! This is a letter!"
"Oh? Let's take a look at it!"
This matter made Zhang Dingguo feel fresh. It stands to reason that the "Little Fifth Battalion" should follow "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai. Could it be that he came here at this time because he heard that his troops were besieging Nanyang City?
Although both sides are rebels, they have to be on guard. These days, except for his father, Zhang Dingguo feels that any outsider must be on strict guard. If the other party is a rebel, his troops will not take the initiative to attack.
"Its!"
"The general is here!"
"Let's go to meet with a thousand soldiers. If these three people really come with the army, we must ask for the reason and then think about it. We must take more precautions to prevent them from joining the dog army first!"
"I will obey the order!"
It is still unknown whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, so Zhang Dingguo can only deal with it carefully. It would be easier to deal with it if he is really on the same journey as his father.
"Guangcai!"
"The general is here!"
"Reorganize the team quickly! Assemble and stand by! Just in case!"
"I will obey the order!"
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Zhang Dingguo doesn't trust anyone now. The person closest to him and whom he can trust is his eldest brother Zhang Kewang.
However, he only wanted to lead his troops in northern Huguang to meet his father's army, and did not enter Henan.
Zhang Qi led his troops to meet with the three leaders who came, but found that each of them only led more than a hundred cavalry to meet, and it seemed that they did not join the official army.
In order to show their sincerity in continuing to fight against the Ming Dynasty, the other party was willing to lead only a small number of troops into Zhang Jun's camp to meet with Zhang Dingguo.
"Three leaders! On behalf of my father, I welcome you three! Please!"
"Thank you, Second General!"
In order to welcome the distinguished guests, Zhang Dingguo specially ordered the chef to arrange a fine banquet and held a banquet outside the tent.
Being able to meet the rebels in Henan, as they are fellow villagers, is naturally very cordial. Since they are still rebels, there is a possibility of joining forces.
"I wonder what happened to the three of you before? Why did you come to Nanyang area now?"
Zhang Dingguo also wanted to know the whole story and see if there was any possibility of the other party lying.
"Alas! Second General! It's a long story!"
Yang Youxian was filled with emotion when he heard this, because the three of them had gone through a lot of hardships before, and it was not easy to survive to this day.
Before, they followed Luo Rucai to start the uprising. At that time, they did gather a lot of soldiers and horses, and they even dared to compete with Sun Chuanting, a thief.
However, the Sun Gou thieves used advanced firearms and defeated them.
A group of people followed Luo Rucai up the river, while the other three, namely Wang Guoning, Yang Youxian, and Chang Guoan, went down the river.
They originally wanted to return to Junzhou and then go eastward from here to join the eight kings in the Gucheng area.
However, as soon as the front leg arrived in Junzhou, they were attacked by two troops, Wang Guangen and Hui Deng, who were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
The three troops did not dare to fight, for fear that the old thief Sun behind them would outflank them, so they had to turn into Wudang Mountain and then march to Binggu City.
Unexpectedly, Gucheng was also occupied by the traitor Li Wanqing in the rebel army, and their newly defeated army did not dare to fight against them.
Hearing that Hong Chengchou's troops were nearby, he was so frightened that he had to forcefully cross the Han River, leave Huguang, and move around in the western area of Nanyang Prefecture.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief a few days ago. I conquered some wealthy gentry's villages and robbed some money and food.
Just as I was preparing to attack Neixiang, I heard that Nanyang City was being besieged by rebels, so I came here to find out.
Yang Youxian also wondered why the Eight Kings didn't come to Yun County to join everyone as agreed in advance.
In response, Zhang Dingguo said that his father had already sent someone to explain the situation.
If he failed to receive the report, he must have been intercepted by the army on the road.
As for why, the Eight Kings' agents in the capital had already learned about the Ming Dynasty's invasion plan.
If you don't receive the news, then you are just unlucky...
