More than ten miles east of Wuchang City, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, 40,000 people were cutting trees and cutting wood, holding hands and shoulders, carrying wood like ants, and building a wharf by the river.

Large wharfs made of logs appeared on the riverside at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wheels and ships on the other side of the shore have begun to transport supplies here, such as food, supplies, muskets, cannons, and war horses and chariots.

The more the wharf is built, and the more materials are piled up in the camp. It is obvious that they are preparing to attack Wuchang City.

Zhang Xianzhong knew all this. After all, it would take a quarter of an hour to run from Wuchang City to fight back and forth.

However, he could only watch and dare not lead his army.

Because the artillery in the hands of the Crazy King was so terrible, he didn't dare to bring people to eat the shells.

Perhaps, the Crazy King wanted to lure his army out of the city through this method and then use artillery to bombard his elixir so that he would not be fooled!

He kept strengthening the city defense in Wuchang City, and at the same time he kept gathering people to Wuchang to defend the city.

At this moment, there were almost 200,000 people in Wuchang City, and he still didn't believe it. The Crazy King really dared to come to attack the city.

You should know that in a mighty city like Wuchang, the siege and defending cities generally have to be more than 5 to 1 before it can be defeated. No matter how powerful the Crazy King's army is, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to capture Wuchang City without two or three times of the crew. Two or three times of the crew, that is only 500,000 or 600,000. Does Crazy King have so many crews?

Of course, Zhu Qizhuo doesn’t have so many people. Now he can only transfer to attack Wuchang City in total at 80,000 people!

Isn’t it a bit too crazy to attack Wuchang City, which has nearly 200,000 troops?

You know, when he attacked Xiangyang City, where only 50,000 troops, gathered nearly 200,000 troops. This time, did he really dare to take 80,000 troops to attack Wuchang City, where nearly 200,000 troops?

Of course he dared, and if he didn't dare, he wouldn't have come.

After transporting the war horses, chariots, muskets, cannons, food, supplies and other materials across the river, he brought the Imperial Guards, Qi's army, and the Imperial Guards to cross the Yangtze River quickly, and then formed an army of 80,000, and rushed over in an orderly formation, surrounding Wuchang City!

Is there any mistake in 80,000 people besieging the city where nearly 200,000 people are stationed?

When Zhang Xianzhong saw this attitude, he was completely confused. Why is this crazy king going crazy?

Although he was afraid of other people's artillery, what he was mainly afraid of was the artillery on the tower ship's gunboat. The Crazy King led his army to surround him. In many places, the tower ship's gunboats could not be bombarded. Even if it could be bombarded, it would be impossible for others to bombard his own people, right?

In other words, as long as he leads his army out of the city, rushes up, and fights into a group with the Crazy King's army, the artillery in the Crazy King's hand will be destroyed.

Zhu Qizhuo certainly knew this, so he asked someone to arrange a chariot array on the periphery, that is, all the chariots were placed on the periphery, and the camps and other things were placed in the middle of the chariot array.

The 80,000 army formed a total of three chariot formations, one in the south, one in the east and the north of the city, and the south and the east of the city were relatively open, so he each set up 30,000 people and horses. There was a lake in the north of the city, and the terrain was relatively narrow, so he set up only 20,000 people and horses, eighty thousand people and horses, and three chariot formations, just like three small cities, surrounding Wuchang City with tight sides.

As for the west side of Wuchang City, it is the Yangtze River, so don’t worry. Even if Zhang Xianzhong wants to jump into the river, he will be bombarded by the cannon boats and wheel boats.

His strategy is to catch a turtle in a jar, surround Wuchang City, catch Zhang Xianzhong, and force him to surrender!

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, the territory of the Great Western Dynasty would basically belong to him.

I have to say that his idea is quite good. If he can really catch Zhang Xianzhong, he will really be able to occupy all the territory of the Daxi Dynasty in one fell swoop. Question, can he really take Zhang Xianzhong?

Zhang Xianzhong was stationed in Wuchang City with nearly 200,000 troops. He brought a total of 80,000 troops. How could he fight in?

If we look at typical battle examples from previous dynasties, if we want to capture a strong city with such powerful troops, we can only siege one way, that is, we will siege it without attacking it until the city is exhausted and the defenders have no food to eat, and they will naturally collapse.

Zhang Xianzhong also believed that the Crazy King Zhu Qizhe should have wanted to use the trick of siege.

After all, even the cannon boats were driven over. It was obvious that the river surface in the west had been blocked, and there were also car formations on three sides of the southeast, north and south, which was clearly used to defend against his attack.

To be honest, they have both muskets and cannons, and with the outer array of vehicles, it is really possible that they can make ten.

In other words, even if he can only break through the nearly 200,000 troops in the city, he may not be able to break through the car formation.

However, this is only possible. If you really want to force people to get angry, the 200,000 army rushed forward regardless of everything. So what if there is a car formation, just by breaking a hole, he will be able to escape.

Of course, there is no need to worry at this time. There is a lot of food in Wuchang City. It turns out that the food from the Chu Palace is enough for nearly a year for the 200,000 troops to eat. What's more, he snatched a lot of food from other places. With the food stored in Wuchang City, it should be no problem to persist for two years.

He still doesn't believe it. The Crazy King can lead his army to besiege here for two years. Even if the Crazy King has this plan, there is no need to hurry, because he still has more than 100,000 troops outside. When Wang Dingguo and Feng Shuangli lead the army, he will directly attack the Crazy King on both sides. With less than 100,000 troops, can he withstand the siege of nearly 300,000 troops?

He believed that no matter how powerful the army under the Crazy King was, it would not be so powerful, so he was not in a hurry at all.

So, what about Zhu Qizhu? Is he really going to be siege here for a year or two?

Of course not!

He doesn't have much time to spend here.

The next morning, he just used a telescope to scan the east city wall, and then decisively ordered: "Send an order, pack up the camp, move the car forward, prepare to attack the city!"

"Dadadadadadada", a crisp sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the morning. The two teams of commanders rushed out of the east chariot formation in the city and headed straight to the two north and south chariot formations.

Not long after, there were calls from east, south, and north of the city, and the army of Crazy King began to quickly pack up the tent.

What exactly does this lunatic want to do?

When Zhang Xianzhong heard the news, he rushed to the city wall and saw that he was still confused and confused.

Soon, he understood what he wanted to do.

Because after the Crazy King army packed up the camp, they pushed the chariot and slowly rushed towards the city wall.

Hungry thief, is this guy really crazy?

No siege equipment was built, less than 100,000 people surrounded him and attacked Wuchang City, which was deep in the city!

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the moat that was hundreds of steps wide, then looked at the slowly approaching car array, and he was almost stunned.

Just push the chariot to attack the city?

It’s almost the same to jump into the river!

However, it is really possible that thousands of tanks were pushed into the river in one direction to fill the moat!

Thinking of this, a hint of nervousness appeared on Zhang Xianzhong's forehead.

This lunatic won't really do this!

Question, what's the use of doing this?
