The cannon gun on the top of the city burst into a cunning red flame behind Wu Zheng's back.
The landing point of the shell is around.
But none of them hit Wu Zheng, and even within a few meters of radius, there was no impact.
Yes, the artillery deployed by the enemy in Huai'an City was also the iron cannons cast by the Ming Dynasty more than a hundred years ago. In the late Ming Dynasty, they lacked daily maintenance and had already been rusted.
These days, it would be good if it could be fired without blowing up the chamber. If it could hit Wu Zheng five miles away, it would be God's will.
But this scene felt completely different in the eyes of the soldiers, because the King of Wu was at a higher position than them!
The soldiers were not stupid, of course they understood that without the Lord, they would follow them in the subsequent attack.
But what they want is an attitude, a leading by example, living and dying together.
After getting this attitude, I am willing to die!
"Tonight is a decisive battle!" Wu Zheng's tone was calm, as if he was saying that it was dark now or it was not raining tonight, the fact.
"Many of you can't go home." Wu Zheng's tone was still calm, because this was also true.
"I'm sorry!" Wu Zheng finally sighed softly. This is not a fact. If sorry is useful, what else should the army do?
"But I promise, I will never leave this place before you!" Wu Zheng pointed at the land under his crotch and shouted loudly.
"After this battle, Ruosheng, I invite you to drink! If you die, I will carry the coffin to you home! If I die, I will stay here and accompany you!" Wu Zheng's tone became depressed, "...Go!"
Tears burst out from the soldiers' eyes.
"If you don't defeat Huai'an, you won't be on the verge of fighting!"
"If you don't defeat Huai'an, you won't be on the verge of fighting!"
"If you don't defeat Huai'an, you won't be on the verge of fighting!"
....
Five miles away, the roar of thousands of people.
If you can't hear a trace, unless your ears are deaf.
Zu Dabi was originally determined to inspire the morale of the defenders in the city. This matter was a piece of cake for him, a veteran on the battlefield.
But Zu Dabi really didn't have time or... the mind at this time.
Because, it is obvious that after Taizhou Guards returned, for more than half an hour, the fire at the East Gate did not go out, and it even seemed to be burning even more vigorously.
What does this mean? It means that Deputy General Chen is lying!
This shows that the rebels at the East Gate were far from what Deputy General Chen said, with less than a thousand people.
This shows that the thousands of defenders in Deputy General Chen’s hands were unable to quell the rebellion at all.
A wailing sounded in Zu Dabi's heart. A strong enemy attacked in front of him, obviously a desperate situation, but behind him, Xiao Yun was in trouble. How could he fight this battle?
Zu Dabi became irritable, and his original self-confidence quickly dissipated.
He really didn't expect that how could he have expected this? In a blink of an eye, the situation reversed, and victory seemed to be getting further and further away from him.
....
Zu Dabi really blamed the East Gate Guard Chen Dong.
The number of people who rebel in the camp was less than a thousand.
There are two main reasons why the soldiers who have been unable to "suppress" for a long time are mostly their original comrades, and they cannot bear to be slaughtered by each other, so naturally they will no longer have the resentment of life and death.
In addition, there is a shortage of military rations these days, and everyone has resentment. Who doesn’t drag a family behind their backs to support it? It’s fine if the adults endure it, but for the children, the sound of hunger is that everyone has to resentment. To put it bluntly, looking at the brothers today who are changing in the opposite camp, almost everyone will shout "Happy" in their hearts!
If Chen Dong hadn't come forward to supervise the battle personally, I'm afraid a large number of people would not only not quell the chaos, but also accompany him.
In addition, Chen Dong was responsible for defending the East Gate, with 3,600 people under him. He was under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Guard. Unlike the Dahewei in the South Gate, Huai'an Guard was responsible for the transportation of the canal. He was always richer and richer than Dahewei, especially those like him who had a single official and half-time position.
If a person has money, he will naturally be more afraid of suffering and suffering... It is a normal human nature.
Those who choose to rebel often take the initiative because the trump card is revealed and the death is a death, so they are naturally determined.
But like Chen Dong, who was thinking of relying on his official power to shock the rebels, went on the battlefield and led the way to fight with these people. When his subordinates were passive and lazy, Chen Dong could only curse and push and let his subordinates quell and swear.
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate, and no one took the initiative to attack, nor did anyone retreat.
But the fire that has been ignited does not wait for anyone. Once the grain storage of more than 100,000 stones is ignited, it will have to burn for several hours.
Therefore, when the fire was getting stronger and stronger, Chen Dong was anxious, instead of lying to Zu Dabi.
There is a reason why the "rebels" do not take the initiative to attack.
Boss Zhao is not an ordinary person in this position.
His name is Zhao Shi. If Wu Zheng is here, he will definitely come forward with a smile, hold Zhao Shi's hand, and shout "Brother Zhao".
This person was the first official Wu Zheng met at the Shaoxing Wharf when he returned to Shaoxing Prefecture from Jiading, Zhao Baihu.
Although there was no fight or a deal, Zhao Shi really gave Wu Zheng a lot of advice later.
Wu Zheng thought in his heart that this person was a real villain!
....
Zhao Shi is a smart person.
He is addicted to officials and wants to make contributions, but if he wants to exchange his life for it, he will naturally choose to save his life.
What is loyal and unyielding to him is nothing to him!
This is a real villain.
Take eight or nine hundred people to fight with more than three thousand people. Isn’t this the birthday boy hanging himself and getting tired of living?
Since the soldiers on both sides have "deep brothers and sisters", let's drag it on. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. There are Taizhou Guards outside the city to attack the city, so Zu Dabi naturally has no extra troops to reinforce and quell the rebellion.
But Zhao Shi didn't expect that Taizhou Guards almost retreated outside the city. No, they had already retreated and returned.
In other words, Zhao Shi almost cheated himself.
Another reason why he dragged on his orders to take the initiative was that he had no eyes. What if he injured himself?
Anyway, as long as it causes chaos in the city, you can make a contribution, which is considered to be a meritorious service. When you go back this time, you will at least have to get into a thousand families. Maybe you can still get to the position of deputy commander.
If he died here, even if he was conferred a title, he would be invincible, right?
Zhao Shi was a real "passive and lazy war", but it was precisely because of his "passive and lazy war" that he helped Taizhou Wei a lot.
Just imagine, if we take the initiative to attack, eight or nine hundred people will be the opponent of more than three thousand people?
Once the two sides really fight and see blood, they can't stop and no one will care about the "brother-mindedness" or "comradeship between comrades".
The rebellion was quickly quelled.
When the rebellion is quelled, the fire can be controlled, so why will it continue to drag?
However, what Zhao Shi did not expect was that his drag did not attract Zu Dabi to send troops to reinforce, but when the defenders of the West Gate and the North Gate saw the flames soaring into the sky, they sent a team of reinforcements.
Chapter completed!
