Multi-state city.
General Fan Yuangui summoned all the generals, and in the center of Duobang City, under the gaze of countless soldiers, he personally waved his sword. With a flash of cold light, the heads fell to the ground!
"Chen Dapu of the Zuo Shenyi Army left his command position without permission, causing the Jianghe defense line to be breached by the Ming army. He shall be punished with death!"
Fan Yuangui raised the bloody head and shouted angrily: "If anyone doesn't want to end up like this, restrain his soldiers. If Duobang City is here, you are here! If Duobang City dies, you must die first!"
Zhengang Army General Zhu Bingzhong, Third Auxiliary Army General Chen Yuanxuan, Zuo Shengyi Army Hu Wen, including Ruan Zhengqing, the minister of Dali Temple who was appointed by Hu Jiya to supervise the army, were all stunned by Fan Yuangui's methods.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Chen Dapu failed to hold the Sanjiang defense line. When the Ming army forced its way ashore, the most important thing he should do was to organize a counterattack and drive the Ming army into the river to feed the fish, instead of turning around and running away, abandoning his soldiers and responsibilities and fleeing to many countries. In the city.
Now there is no Sergeant Annan outside Duobang City, and the entire city is surrounded by the Ming army. Looking continuously, there are Ming troops on both sides of the three rivers.
Fan Yuangui knew that Chen Dapu was Hu Jiyou's confidant, but there was nothing he could do now. His head was far more useful than his life. Since it was useful, he could only borrow his head.
At present, the morale of the military in Dobang City is unstable, and special means must be used.
Killing was the best way Fan Yuangui found.
Sure enough, after Chen Dapu's death, all the generals unanimously agreed to defend Duobang!
Fan Yuangui stared at the generals and said with a murderous look on his face: "If the general dies, the deputy will take over. If the deputy general dies, the general will take over! As long as one of you is still there, you must defend Duobang City! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" "
"As you command!"
The generals agreed and then went to the defensive area.
Fan Yuangui led Ruan Zhengqing to the North City Gate and was secretly surprised when he looked at the dense Ming army formation.
Ruan Zhengqing asked the guard Li Chen on the side: "Can you find the location of the Ming army commander's camp?"
Li Chen shook his head and said bitterly: "After observing for several days, I still can't see the commander's camp. He deployed defenses along the river and built a pontoon on the river. From time to time, sergeants rode on horseback to deliver news. Maybe the commander's camp is still on the south bank."
Fan Yuangui patted the city wall with a majestic look on his face: "The Ming Dynasty General is not a fool. He will never place it within the range of our divine machine cannon."
Ruan Zhengqing felt a little pity.
Annan's divine machine gun has been modified by Hu Jiyao's son Hu Yuancheng, and its range has been increased to two miles. It is not a problem to hit across the river, but the problem is that this is only the range, and the real effective killing distance is within one mile. If Zhang Fu led his men across the river. Once he found the target, kill Zhang Fu and the battle would be over.
It's a pity that these guys are too precious about their lives and don't dare to come.
Ruan Zhengqing reminded Fan Yuangui: "The Ming Dynasty has new firearms with extraordinary power. One of the reasons why Chen Dapu failed to guard the river bank was this firearm."
Fan Yuangui laughed and said disdainfully: "I know, but the Ming army's firearms have a flaw, they must be used within two hundred steps, but do you think I will let them go within two hundred steps? "
Ruan Zhengqing looked at the divine machine guns and archers on the city wall and knew Fan Yuangui's plan. He nodded solemnly: "As long as the Ming army is not allowed to approach the city, we will be safe."
Fan Yuangui shook his head slightly: "If you get close to the city, you will definitely get close. It depends on how much price they are willing to pay. No matter what, we need to learn lessons and do a good defensive drill. Once the opponent attacks the city with all their strength, I need to The sergeants can be replenished in the shortest time!"
Ruan Zhengqing promised: "What I have arranged is to sit in a group of 100 people. As long as necessary, they will climb the city. Those who don't climb the city will be killed without mercy!"
Fan Yuangui looked at Ruan Zhengqing with satisfaction: "He is indeed the Emperor's most valued Confucian general."
Ruan Zhengqing laughed and did not follow Fan Yuangui to continue patrolling. Instead, he stood on the city wall and looked at the Ming army in the distance, his eyes full of worry.
Ruan Zhengkun walked over and whispered: "Brother, do we really want to stay in Duobang City?"
Ruan Zhengqing pointed to the outside of the city. The Ming army camped ten miles along the river: "Do you think we still have a chance to get out of the city? Chen Dapu couldn't even do this, so we were locked in the city!"
Ruan Zhengkun licked his tongue and said unnaturally: "I heard from the defenders who escaped from Ailiuguan that the Ming army's firearms were extremely powerful and numerous. Once they were allowed to approach the city wall for two hundred steps, the entire Dobang City would be destroyed. It’s downright dangerous.”
Ruan Zhengqing also knows this truth, but what can he do?
"Get ready to fight, I am the supervisor after all."
Ruan Zhengqing said helplessly.
Ruan Zhengkun seems to have met his brother for the first time. He is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has been appreciated by Hu Jiya by flattering others, talking on paper, and boasting about his achievements. Now he has finally become the minister of Dali Temple. There are many girls in the family. How can we just throw away people, land and treasures?
fighting?
That is a matter for military commanders. We are civil servants, so what can we do?
"Brother, Madam is still young..."
Ruan Zhengkun reminded.
When Ruan Zhengqing thought of his flower-like concubine, his heart was full of reluctance, but now that the army was besieging the city, there was no way out. If Chen Dapu could hold the Sanjiang River, he could still leave by boat, but now...
"Brother, how about we surrender?"
Ruan Zhengkun looked away for a moment, then whispered.
Ruan Zhengqing was startled, turned sideways and glared at Ruan Zhengkun, and shouted in a deep voice: "How can you say such a thing! After all, we are the ministers of Dayu Kingdom! That's enough, you can go down!"
Ruan Zhengkun shrugged his shoulders, turned around and left.
Ruan Zhengqing was in a state of confusion.
Loyal to the Yu Kingdom?
No, when I betrayed the Chen Dynasty, my loyalty no longer existed. It would be okay to betray the Yu Kingdom again. But when I betrayed the Chen Dynasty, I had a chance to climb up. But now I am trapped in Duobang City, let alone climb up. , even zipping down is impossible, and there are a lot of trenches under the city, in case you fall in...
The owner of this city is Fan Yuangui, and it doesn’t matter what he says.
Outside the city, in an ordinary tent.
Zhang Fu summoned a group of generals, looked at Gao Jun of the Shenji Battalion, and asked: "Can the new Shenji Cannon be deployed in place?"
Gao Jun solemnly said: "Come back to the commander, everything has been transported to the north bank, and the elevation and direction have been adjusted. It can be put into use at any time. The Shenji Battalion invites you to fight!"
Zhang Fu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, this time the Shenji Battalion will fully demonstrate its strength. I plan to attack Duobang City this time. I will no longer pretend to attack or test, but directly launch an attack!"
Mu Sheng and Han Guan's expressions became solemn, and Tie Xuan quickly said: "Without testing, it is difficult to know where the weaknesses of Duobang City are. If the direction of attack happens to be the key point of its defense, wouldn't it be seriously damaged?"
Zhang Fu stretched out his hand to signal Tie Xuan not to worry, and said calmly: "What I said about launching an attack directly is not to directly attack the city! It is to use the divine machine cannon to destroy the city wall defenders, divine machine cannons and all the power of Dobang City. , completely destroying their will to resist!"
"In this case, it is feasible..."
Tie Hyun let out a breath.
Zhang Fu looked at Han Guan, Mu Sheng, Yuan Yue and others and said: "Once the divine machine cannon is activated, Duobang City will fall into a sea of fire, but relying on the divine machine cannon alone is not enough to completely defeat the defenders of Duobang City. I need you to lead your troops to reach a position 200 steps away from Duobang City in the shortest possible time, and use General Zhankou, General Wankou, and Tiger Crouching Cannon to bombard Duobang City in turn!"
Mu Sheng, Han Guan and others felt their lips were a little dry. Zhang Fu's move was to make the people in Duobang City become targets and enjoy the cannon stones and gunpowder shells falling from the sky. Such inhumane tactics could only be achieved with a large number of firearms. Can hold up...
Zhang Fu gave the order with a straight face: "Whether it is the Shenji Battalion or your various ministries, I ask you to shoot out all the artillery stones and gunpowder shells tonight. After disintegrating the multi-state city wall defenders, adjust Angle, push forward, and bombard the inner city of Dobang! You must destroy the inner city for me!"
"all?"
Tie Hyun jumped to his feet.
Mu Sheng and Han looked at Zhang Fu with a little fear. Does this guy know what he is talking about? With all the gunpowder shells and cannon stones, he is not afraid of hitting everyone in Duobang City to death. Already?
Do you know how many gunpowder bombs the imperial court has prepared for the Southern Expedition? They have all been given to Duobang City. If you want to wait for the follow-up gunpowder replenishment, you will have to wait at least three days!
Zhang Fu was not joking and repeated seriously: "That's all. Anyone who keeps a gunpowder shell and cannon stone will be treated as a violation of military orders!"
"As you command!"
All the generals agreed unanimously.
Zhang Fu looked at Mu Sheng and Han Guan: "Mu Sheng will lead the troops to attack the west gate, Han Guan will lead the troops to take the east gate, and I will lead the troops to capture the north gate myself! When the artillery fire stops, it will be the time for the general attack! Understand. No?"
"clear!"
"Everyone is ready, and the cannons will be fired at this time! I hope you will kill the enemy bravely to repay the king and the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Fu cupped his hands toward the north.
Everyone bowed and left the camp.
Yuan Yue stayed in the Chinese army and was responsible for the charge to the north, that is, the front. Considering that the trench under the city was very wide and deep, it could not be covered even if the shields were buckled together, and if you wanted to reach the city, you had to cross the trench, Yuan Yue ordered The sergeant prepared a thick wooden plank and a siege ladder. He planned to use the ladder to cross the trench and pave it with planks to open the passage to facilitate the subsequent sergeant's connection.
Countless sergeants carried wooden boxes one by one from the three platforms and sent the wooden boxes to the tents. The busyness continued until night.
The Annan garrison looked at the Ming army outside the city. All the lights in the camps were turned off. It was pitch black outside the city. Only in the distance on the other side of the river were there some lights.
This night, there is no moon, only stars.
This night, there was no luck, only all-out efforts.
This night, there was no hope, only hellish cruelty.
Although they all live under the same sky, their fates are completely different, but for many people, the results are the same.
Duobang City, inner city.
Fan Yuangui was willing to stay in Duobang City and shoulder the important task of resisting the main force of the Ming army, not only because of the confidence given by the strength of Duobang City, but also because there seemed to be only one Duobang City, but in fact there were two.
One is the outer city, and the other is the inner city. The outer city is also known as the Wengcheng, and the Weng is an urn used to catch turtles.
Even if the Ming army captures the outer city, they will find in despair that there is another city waiting for them. When the time comes, they will use their magic weapons to turn the tables, completely crush the Ming army, and drive them into the river in one fell swoop. !
As long as he perseveres and wins the Duobang battle, he will become the well-deserved number one in Dayu Kingdom. No one, whether it is Ruan Zhengqing, Huang Huiqing or Fan Zhixian, can compare with him!
Hu Jishen was able to usurp the throne, and he himself was not incapable of living the emperor's addiction.
Relying on the Ming army and establishing immortal achievements, he will become the true king of this land!
Fan Yuangui believed in his own abilities and the abilities of the Duobang City defenders. However, Fan Yuangui forgot to consider one thing, and that was the strength of the Ming army.
History has proven more than once that underestimating your opponent is suicide...
