Wang Jianguo stared at the rows of artillery that were pushed up neatly in front of him, and shook his head with a wry smile: "If I had known you had brought the artillery, I would have fought you for the priority to attack the city."
"That's right, so you know why I dislike you for coming too late." Qi Zhen said sternly.
Wang Jianguo nodded helplessly: "I forgot that you still have such a killing weapon."
"Okay, this time you can wait until you enter the city to show off your siege. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that Luoyang couldn't spare any manpower, I would have waited for you and attacked Jizhou myself." Qi Zhen patted Wang Jianguo on the shoulder to comfort him.
"The soldiers and horses in Luoyang are so nervous?" Wang Jianguo asked.
"Isn't it? Let me tell you, if you lead the Xuzhou Army straight to Luoyang now, Luoyang City might not be able to defend it for three days and it will fall." Qi Zhen said helplessly: "Think about it now, in fact, in our hands The power is basically the same that Lin Biao brought from Yizhou before. After such a long time of fighting in the north and south, it has been depleted to a great extent. I really don’t know what Lin Biao thinks. Even if something happens during this process A defeat in which the whole army was wiped out, our team has never been able to complete this game in recent years."
As Qi Zhen spoke, she admired Lin Biao even more.
In other words, awe.
"Many people have questioned him before, but without exception, they will end up like you are now." Wang Jianguo said softly.
"Okay, okay, your Lin Biao is the strongest and the most powerful."
Qi Zhen really didn't understand why Wang Jianguo worshiped Lin Biao so blindly, so she said perfunctorily.
"Okay, let's not mention it. It's still early, so hurry up and attack the city." Wang Jianguo urged Qi Zhen without bothering to explain anything.
Qi Zhen nodded, rode her horse back to the Chinese army camp, and began to organize the siege.
Artillery, a weapon beyond its time, once again proved its power on the frontal battlefield.
How about the city wall? What about city gates? Even the Great Wall, how many rounds of artillery can it withstand?
Qi Zhen gave full play to the spirit of not needing manpower to solve problems that can be solved with artillery shells. As long as she has enough artillery shells, she will use full power to blast the motherfucker.
We won't talk about anything else until the city wall is destroyed.
Outside the city gate, the roar of huge artillery fire and the smoke and dust filled with the smell of gunpowder constantly test people's sense of hearing and smell.
On the city wall, rubble mixed with fragments of weapons and the broken limbs of the defenders were scattered everywhere.
In the city, the people trembled as they heard the muffled thunder that kept ringing all around.
The cannon fired for two full hours, until the city wall was completely reduced to ruins. Qi Zhen reluctantly let the cannon stop bombarding.
"It's your turn." Qi Zhen said to Wang Jianguo.
Wang Jianguo nodded and said to Qin Feng: "You can send troops up. Remember, you will not be killed if you surrender."
Qin Feng hummed and turned to give orders to several captains.
Qi Zhen was different from the four-sided siege method used by Wang Jianguo before. He only worked on the southern wall.
As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them. Qi Zhen does not need to bluff. Good steel can be used on the blade, and good cannonballs can be used on a city wall.
This resulted in the city gates in the other three directions being almost intact, while the city wall in the south was completely broken.
No defenders dared to defend in this direction. Any fool could see that going south would mean death.
As for support?
Just kidding, they are not afraid of a face-to-face fight, but they will not do anything that clearly involves death.
This also led to the fact that when Qin Feng led his army to the gate of Jizhou City, he encountered no resistance at all.
What followed was a street fight in the city.
Just talking about street fighting in the city, the soldiers in the world are actually the same, not too different. It's just that the attacking side is well prepared, backed by artillery, and full of confidence.
The defenders had to worry about the muffled thunder that would sound from nowhere at any time, and their morale was naturally not comparable to that of the Xuzhou Army.
The more important point is that at this moment, the army stationed in Jizhou is truly a lone army.
The counties in Jingzhou have been occupied by the enemy. It has been a full month, but there has been no news from Youzhou, not even a word of comfort.
Except for Yan Gang, the governor of Jizhou, no one understands why.
Those soldiers who were born and raised in the country are also beating the drum in their hearts, thinking that you officials will turn around and pat your butts and leave. What about those of us who have families?
Anyone who can think of this joint has actually lost the will to fight in his heart.
How can we fight this battle?
As a result, more and more ordinary soldiers chose to surrender.
Many people even did not obey the orders of their superiors at all.
Street fighting? Beat the ass!
When you fight the enemy in your own home, it doesn’t matter whose house or building it belongs to. If it is damaged, whether you lose or win, don’t you have to rely on your own people to repair it in the end?
It's not scary to be inferior to others in strength. The most terrifying thing is that most ordinary soldiers have lost the desire to fight the enemy.
The outcome of the war was naturally one-sided towards Wang Jianguo's side.
As soon as it got dark that day, the Xuzhou Army from afar occupied Jizhou City in a practical sense.
Only one place, the governor's office, was still putting up stubborn resistance.
"Report!" A soldier came to report. He cupped his fists and raised his hands to Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng, his expressions a little unnatural.
Qin Feng knew that this man was a commander under his command.
"What's wrong? Speak slowly." Wang Jianguo is not in a hurry. Jizhou City is now nine out of ten, exaggeratedly ninety-nine percent, in the hands of his side. Are you afraid that the other side will cause trouble?
"Report to the general, the governor's office has long encountered strong resistance from the enemy. My son-in-law has tried several times, but still can't get in..." The captain said while looking at the faces of the two men.
What made him feel a little relieved was that Qin Feng didn't mean to blame him.
But at this time, Wang Jianguo shouted carelessly: "Qi Zhen, Qi Zhen!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's such a loud voice." Qi Zhen's impatient voice came over.
"It's time for you to show off." Wang Jianguo said to Qi Zhen matter-of-factly.
"What's wrong? The governor's mansion can't be captured?" Qi Zhen asked doubtfully.
"No! It is said that the resistance is quite strong. According to me, there should be some hard work inside. If you ask me, please bring the cannon over quickly and blast him for ten yuan. I will pay you the bill together later." Wang Jianguo He smiled shamelessly.
"Go, go." Qi Zhen waved her hand towards Wang Jianguo.
"Why, do you still feel sorry for your cannonball?" Wang Jianguo's eyes squinted.
"Two different things." Qi Zhen shook her head and continued: "Judging from the current situation, Yan Gang is probably the last person who may know Liu Bei's thoughts before we attack Youzhou. Are you sure you just leave it alone?" Blast him up? Think clearly, if he bombs him to death, we will have no clues at all."
Wang Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became serious: "You said that we really can't attack by force, so what do you think we should do?"
Qi Zhen pondered for a moment, then turned to the commander and asked, "What's the situation over there now?"
"Reporting to your lord, I...I don't know either." The captain said awkwardly.
Wang Jianguo returned his hand and gave the captain a chestnut: "You bastard! What do you mean you don't know!"
"Reporting to your lord, before my son got close to the wall of the Governor's Mansion, the arrows came out of nowhere and shot into a sieve. It was dark and we couldn't see clearly at all." The captain covered his forehead. , said with some grievance.
"Qi Zhen, what do you say?" Wang Jianguo turned around and asked.
"Two methods, you choose one." Qi Zhen said, "Either you ignore the situation and just blast it with the cannon, without any clues or anything else."
"Wasn't this item rejected just now?" Wang Jianguo asked doubtfully.
"The second method can ensure the safety of ordinary soldiers to the greatest extent, but we have to sacrifice something." Qi Zhen glanced at him sideways.
"Ah?" Wang Jianguo was stunned.
"Do the special forces know? Let the elite find a way to break in first, and then bloom from the inside to disintegrate the opposite defense line." Qi Zhen said.
"You said that we don't even have these special forces soldiers in our army. It's a waste for us to sacrifice." Wang Jianguo said.
"We are probably the only ones in the entire army who can be called special forces. Oh, Qin Feng is also one, but there has to be someone outside to take charge of the overall situation, right? How about we go check the situation together," Qi Zhen said.
"I won't go, I won't go." Wang Jianguo shook his head like a rattle. "I'm afraid of death, and I don't want to be a hedgehog."
Qi Zhen looked at Qin Feng, who raised his eyebrows at Wang Jianguo: "Brother Wang, you are not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Nonsense! Of course I am not, but my skills are not very good, right? Otherwise, we can cut off our troops and supplies as before. Anyway, even if we capture Jizhou, we still have to wait for news from Youzhou. There is no rush. For a moment, as long as the people inside are hungry and can't bear it anymore, they will naturally come out and surrender. What do you think of this idea?" Wang Jianguo smiled awkwardly.
"This is a good idea, but it seems I was negligent." Qi Zhen nodded nonchalantly, "Qin Feng, let's do this. You go and write a statement about this matter, and send it to Luoyang early tomorrow morning with your family. Lord Lin, please say something."
"Okay!" Qin Feng nodded sincerely.
"No, no, we have something to discuss, why would you bring a snitch with you!" Wang Jianguo quit.
"Then are you going?" Qi Zhen asked again.
"Can't you go by yourself?" Wang Jianguo was a little depressed.
"I always thought you were a particularly brave person." Qi Zhen was impressed by Wang Jianguo.
"Mom, just go, no one is afraid of you!" Wang Jianguo touched his nose unnaturally.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the Sand Eagle pistol and checked the magazine in his watch, with a look of death on his face.
