On May 26th, at Si hour, we were at the foot of Shenzhou City in Hebei Province.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Liang Army above and below the city, Ye Mingsheng, who looked very heroic in military uniform, appeared in front of the formation, and beside him were a hundred carefully selected soldiers from the Fengwu Army. ······················
Looking at the Shenzhou City in front of him, although he couldn't see the faces of the Zhennan Army officers clearly on the city wall, Ye Mingsheng could feel that his old boss Xu Zhaojie, the former commander of the Xuanwu Forbidden Army, was standing on the city wall watching him.
Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face, and then he said lightly:
"Xu Zhaojie, how are you doing lately?"
As Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, the hundred fat and strong Fengwu Army soldiers beside him also shouted towards Shenzhou City with simple loudspeakers.
"Xu Zhaojie, how are you doing lately?"
Although the newly manufactured loudspeaker of the Second Manufacturing Bureau is far less effective than the later generations of loudspeakers, these one hundred Fengwu Army officers and soldiers were all carefully selected for their loud voices. One hundred people shouted with all their strength. Coupled with the blessing of large speakers, the effect is still very impressive.
After the voice fell for about half a cup of tea, seeing Xu Zhaojie pretending to be dead in Shenzhou City without answering, the smile on Ye Mingsheng's face undoubtedly grew thicker by three points, and then he continued to say lightly:
"Xu Zhaojie, why are you doing this? You know that Anqing City is already under the control of our army, and Shenzhou has become a dead city without foreign aid!"
"Although you have done many evil deeds, betrayed the emperor's favor, and humiliated the common people, and your crimes are too numerous to mention, God has the virtue of good life, and Ye is not willing to do more killings. As long as you wake up and commit suicide, you have atoneed for your sins." People can guarantee the safety of your family·························"
As Ye Mingsheng's words fell, a hundred soldiers also shouted after receiving the order. Just like before, Xu Zhaojie in Shenzhou City did not reply to anyone.
Seeing that Xu Zhaojie had made up his mind to pretend to be a turtle, Ye Mingsheng could only shake his head in boredom, and then ordered to Yuan Song beside him:
"Since Xu Zhaojie is unwilling to answer, let's blow it up enough to make them speak!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng turned around and left to return to the military camp. Following Ye Mingsheng's order, the five siege heavy artillery pieces that had just been formed and specially used to attack the city were pushed to the specially selected artillery positions and began to move towards Shenzhou City. Tilt ammunition.
Although the rate of fire of these five heavy siege guns is very slow, and they weigh tens of thousands of kilograms, transportation is also very cumbersome. They need to be disassembled for transportation first, and then assembled when they arrive at the place. The ammunition they fire also needs to be specially made. , the shooting accuracy is not high, and although there are many shortcomings, the advantage is that the range is far enough and the power is strong enough.
Although Shenzhou is called a state, it is actually just an ordinary state capital in Henan Province with two counties under its jurisdiction. It is not a strategic location. Therefore, the city is not a high-walled city with the strongest city strength. It is only one and a half feet, and the general thickness is only one foot. Therefore, as long as this city-breaking heavy artillery concentrates its firepower and bombs a certain section of the city wall, it is enough to collapse this section of the city wall... ···············
At this time, Xu Zhaojie's face on the city wall was like pig liver, which could be said to be extremely ugly. He knew very well that Ye Mingsheng did this on purpose. He just wanted to deliberately humiliate himself in front of tens of thousands of soldiers in front of the two armies. Of course, he could also They found a group of loud voices in the Zhennan army and scolded Ye Mingsheng on the city wall, but this made no sense!
These meaningless verbal disputes will not change the passive situation of the Zhennan Army at all!
Just as Xu Zhaojie was trying hard to think of a way to break the situation, the sound of the roaring wind of artillery shells could be heard in his ears.
"Master Hou, be careful!"
As the sound of breaking the wind appeared, the loyal guards immediately protected Xu Zhaojie. Several loud explosions sounded in the next second. None of the five shells fired from the Fengwu Army's artillery position hit the city wall. They all hit the open space outside the city.
This immediately aroused the ridicule of the Zhennan Army officers in the city. They used the most filthy words and mocked the Fengwu Army's artillery as silver guns and candle heads.
Although the soldiers of the Zhennan Army were scolding happily, Xu Zhaojie on the city wall was not very happy. Although he did not understand the artillery of the Fengwu Army, based on his many years of experience in the army, he visually inspected the artillery positions of the Fengwu Army for safety. , at least three miles away.
And generally speaking, the shooting accuracy of heavy artillery like this should not be very high. Therefore, if such a heavy artillery is fired from three miles away, it will be a ghost if the first wave can hit it. It will take at least a morning of adjustment before it can hit. To the city wall························
However, just when the soldiers of the Zhennan Army were tired from swearing at the stick of incense, and when Xu Zhaojie was about to leave, the artillery position of the Fengwu Army was also adjusted to shoot at Zhu Yuan, and the shells were fired again, this time five. Among the cannonballs, although four missed the target, one hit the target, causing a shock to the city wall that was hit.
Although the shell hit the city wall, Xu Zhaojie felt that it seemed to hit his heart. Having joined the army when he was more than ten years old, he could clearly feel the heart-shaking lethality of this heavy artillery. He originally thought that the Fengwu Army would have to spend a whole morning adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan, but the Fengwu Army's artillery used facts to make him feel the boundaries of his cognition.
As the first cannonball hit the city wall, the second one soon followed, and the third one... Seeing the destruction of the city wall by the cannonball, Xu Zhaojie felt pain in his heart, but also We clearly realized that if the Fengwu Army continued their bombardment, the city wall of Shenzhou would not be able to support it for long.
Now there are only two ways in front of him, either to destroy the artillery positions of the Fengwu Army and destroy all the heavy artillery. I believe that such powerful heavy artillery is also very precious in the Fengwu Army, and the stock is definitely not enough. There will be a lot of them. If you blow up one door, you will lose one. Even if it can be transported from other places, it will take a long time.
If the bombing cannot be destroyed, Shenzhou must be evacuated as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the city wall is allowed to collapse due to heavy artillery bombardment, the protective effect of the city will be greatly reduced. As Ye Mingsheng just said, Shenzhou City will become a A dead city where Xu Zhaojie was buried!
·································
·································
At noon, in the Fengwu military camp
Yuan Song reported to Ye Mingsheng the effect of the artillery attack on the city. Hearing that five or six artillery shells had hit the city wall in the morning, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction. With Xu Zhaojie's ability, since he had decided to defend Shenzhou City, Then he must have managed Shenzhou City perfectly, and he is just waiting for him to suffer a bloody blow in Shenzhou City!
Now that he understands Xu Zhaojie's plan, he, Ye Mingsheng, will not foolishly send troops to attack the city. Although the soldiers of his Fengwu Army are not afraid of death, they are all sons of father and mother, with parents, wives and children. As the commander-in-chief, he must You are responsible for their lives, and you don't want to resort to the tactics of charging with human bullets.
So Ye Mingsheng decided to give Xu Zhaojie a dimensionality reduction blow. He wanted to use the heavy siege artillery he brought from Yi Jing to replace his soldiers to attack the city, and blow up Xu Zhaojie's turtle shell. This time he brought it from Yi Jing Five hundred rounds of artillery shells arrived, enough to last ten days, and subsequent artillery shell transportation would follow. He was really curious about how many days Xu Zhaojie's turtle shell could withstand!
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked Yuan Song:
"Which path do you think Xu Zhaojie will choose?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Song fell into thinking. He knew that Ye Mingsheng was not asking him whether Xu Zhaojie would choose to break out of the encirclement or blow up the Fengwu Army's artillery position.
Xu Zhaojie may need to send troops to attack the artillery positions at night in order to blow up the heavy artillery of the Fengwu Army, but Xu Zhaojie will definitely not defend Shenzhou anymore. The reason is very simple. Ye Mingsheng just blew a calfskin at the foot of Shenzhou City. , saying that the Fengwu Army had taken Anqing...
But as far as the current situation is concerned, although Anqing City is still in the hands of the Zhennan Army, under the fierce attack of Zhang Meng of the Fourth Army, Anqing City was captured in these three or four days. After arriving at Anqing City, Xu Zhaojie's retreat would be cut off. The Fengwu Army's two armies of 120,000 troops would surround him. Xu Zhaojie himself would become the dog in the closed-door attack.
If Huainan could send more than 30,000 reinforcements, Xu Zhaojie might still have room to struggle. However, with the destruction of Zhao Daqi and the 30,000 Huainan reinforcements at the foot of Anqing City, the rest of the new army prepared by Xu Zhaojie in Huainan were all Some recruits who have just joined the army for a month or two.
Even if these people are put on the battlefield, they have little fighting power. If they are allowed to come over and fight against the wolf-like Fengwu Army, it is not fighting but simply dying!
With Xu Zhaojie's ability, he can definitely understand how dangerous his current situation is without reinforcements outside. Therefore, he will never sit back and wait in Shenzhou, waiting for the Fengwu Army to complete its layout and completely lock him down. To be honest, if If it weren't for him getting the news a day late, giving the Fengwu Army time to maneuver here, then he might have escaped today... ·······
At present, it is almost certain that Xu Zhaojie will lead his troops to abandon the city and flee. Therefore, the key to Ye Mingsheng's problem is not Xu Zhaojie's escape, but where Xu Zhaojie will flee to. This is a question related to Xu Zhaojie's life!
After pondering over a cup of tea, Yuan Song shook his head and said apologetically:
"I'm telling you, sir, I don't know where Xu Zhaojie will flee to, but if I were him, I would flee to Huainan and not stay in Anqing anymore!"
After receiving this answer, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and waved, and Yuan Song immediately left.
After Yuan Song left, Ye Mingsheng was silent for a while, and then came to the sand table in the camp. At this time, his mood was very complicated and tangled. He didn't know whether he should expect Xu Zhaojie to flee to Huainan or Anqing.
Anqing is the Zhennan Army, where Xu Zhaojie re-emerged. Half of the Zhennan Army commanders and above are from Anqing. Many veterans of the Zhennan Army are also Anqing people. These people themselves may have followed Xu Zhaojie to Huainan, but they However, his family members could not leave. Therefore, once Xu Zhaojie fled to Huainan and left all his family members to himself, he would have to face the situation of alienating his subordinates and defecting his generals and soldiers.
At that time, I will ask the Coordination Office to contact the forces dissatisfied with Xu Zhaojie's rule in Huainan, which will be enough to cause chaos in Xu Zhaojie's rear. Although it is unlikely to overthrow Xu Zhaojie's rule in Huainan, it will definitely make Xu Zhaojie busy with himself, and there will not be too much manpower and material resources. Gather together and launch an invasion.
Therefore, in Ye Mingsheng's view, Xu Zhaojie's escaping to Huainan is equivalent to surviving slowly and dying. Xu Zhaojie also understands this after thinking about it. If he returns in such a defeat, those Huainan people who were suppressed by him with bloody and cruel methods will definitely be ready to move again. , under such circumstances, can he still suppress it forcefully like last time?
And if you want to escape to Anqing, that's another problem...
Xu Zhaojie fled to Anqing. The previously planned route was to take the road to Chengfeng County. Because there were 10,000 soldiers and horses in Chengfeng County, it would be easier and more convenient to escape to Anqing than to Huainan. It is fast, but the disadvantage is that when Anqing City is captured by Fengwu Army, escaping to other prefectures and counties in Anqing is safer than staying in Shenzhou, but to be honest, it still cannot change the fate of being locked up and beaten.
However, there is one advantage to escaping back to Anqing, that is, Xu Zhaojie has been operating in Anqing for several years, and he still has a certain mass base. If he escapes to other counties in Anqing, his space for activities will be larger, and he can even temporarily raise funds. With more soldiers and horses, facing the encirclement and suppression by the Fengwu Army, he could hold on for more time to wait for the progress of the Luoan Forbidden Army on the battlefield of Yunbin, and to play a life-and-death race with Ye Mingsheng without hesitation!
Let's see if he lasts longer in Anqing, or whether he holds on to the army in Yun and lasts longer!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but turn his attention to the Jinzhong coordinates on the map. He already knew He Jingyun's order asking Peng Ce to stay in Wankang County until June 1st.
Although he did not know whether Wankang County was still in the hands of the Fengwu Army at this time, Ye Mingsheng knew that the fall of Wankang County was a foregone conclusion, and with the fall of Wankang County, the southern line of Jinzhong City would be opened. Jinzhong City's peripheral defense system will also be defeated one by one.
When the time comes, the Luo'an Forbidden Army will besiege Jinzhong City. Ye Mingsheng is also prepared for this. After the war begins, he resists financial pressure and uses the bonds borrowed by Dadongsheng to form the 10th Division. Currently, the 10th Division The Tenth Division has not yet completed its task of recruiting troops, and has only recruited half of the 10,000 troops. These people are Ye Mingsheng's final reserve team for Yun Bing... ··········
"Doing a small survey, do you have any suggestions for the direction of the plot of the harem and the struggle for hegemony? For example, how should this war end, who will win the harem battle, and to what extent the struggle will go. All of these are transparent and are all ears. suggestions!”
