342 The Eight Kings Replay Old Techniques (Part 2)
That morning, Zhang Xianzhong was struggling whether to send someone to the city wall to continue to build temporary defense facilities?
Without any defensive facilities, people cannot stand on the city wall.
There is no one on the city wall, so it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to defend the city.
Problem, if someone is sent to the city wall to build temporary defense facilities in broad daylight, it would be a target for people to attack!
He struggled for a long time and decided to forget it.
In order to build this temporary defense facility, he injured tens of thousands of people last night. If he did it during the day, he would probably hurt more people.
Forget it, let's wait for someone to attack the city.
When siege, people still have to climb the city wall. At that time, the artillery will definitely not be bombed anymore. When the enemy goes up the city wall, he also ordered people to go up the city wall. The enemy climbs the ladder. They ran up from the steps and were definitely faster than the enemy. Moreover, his subordinates were more than twice as many people than the enemy. If they fought for consumption, the Crazy King would not be able to consume him.
At this time, he was not desperate. After all, he had the advantage in the number of people under his command, with nearly 200,000 people in Wuchang City alone. Moreover, Wang Dingguo and Feng Shuangli could lead a 100,000 army back to the rescue at any time, so he still had a chance of winning.
In fact, what Zhang Xianzhong could think of was already thought of.
If anyone goes to the city wall first, it must be his men, because he still has a firepower to suppress it.
In the afternoon of that day, he commanded his men and prepared to start siege.
The first step in siege is to find a way to cross the moat. After all, you cannot get close to the city wall without crossing the moat. How can you siege the city if you don’t get close to the city wall?
This is actually easy to deal with. Just send someone to cut down the suspension bridge opposite, because there is no one on the city wall now, and naturally no one is guarding the suspension bridge of the moat.
He held up the telescope and observed carefully for a while, then decisively ordered: "All the Pingdong Army's musketeers went to the front row of combat vehicles, aimed at the city wall, and prepared to suppress the fire."
"Crash", thousands of square meter Eastern Army muskets climbed onto the chariot almost at the same time. After they got up, they knelt on the top of the chariot on one knee, raised their guns to aim at the top of the city wall, neatly arranged in a row.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhuo winked at Ning Choudan beside him and said solemnly: "Let's start."
Ning Choudan waved his hand without hesitation and said decisively: "Go."
Several masters of secret guards suddenly rushed forward like fast leopards, crossed the gap between the chariots, rushed to the stone bridge of the moat, ran all the way to the end of the stone bridge, and then jumped into the moat without hesitation.
After a while, they all showed their heads from the water, climbed up to the other side quickly, ran under the suspension bridge, and climbed up in a few swishes.
Immediately afterwards, they grabbed the rope of the suspension bridge, pulled out the machete on their backs, and cut it down with one knife.
With a loud "boom", the suspension bridge fell down.
This time, you can go directly to the stone bridge and cross the moat and come to the bottom of the city wall.
Seeing this, Zhu Qizhe waved without hesitation: "Car array, drive, Imperial Guard, get on!"
Soon, the two chariots in front of the stone bridge were pushed away. Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards, led by Ma Qiancheng and Ma Xianglin, ran up the stone bridge quickly, and headed straight for the city wall.
Zhang Xianzhong saw all this, but he still had no choice, because he could not order people to go up the city wall at this moment. If he ordered people to go up the city wall first, the enemy would definitely fire without hesitation. At that time, I wonder how many people would be injured.
He could only clench his fists and wait silently until the top of the ladder appeared in front of the city wall, then he ordered urgently: "Send the order and order people to go up to the city wall, hurry."
"Crash", the bandits who had already been waiting in front of the stairs rushed towards the city wall as if they had taken medicine.
At this time, the Crazy King Army will no longer fire, but they will fire!
As soon as the bandits rushing up to the city wall showed their heads, the sound of muskets sounded like beans. The musket bullets hit like heavy rain. Who can withstand it?
Before the thieves could figure out what was going on, they screamed and fell backwards.
On the Imperial Guard, after climbing to the city wall, they did not immediately show their heads, but took out the sky-blasting thunder and threw it across the city wall.
"Boom boom boom", a burst of explosion of thunder sounded, and the bandits on the steps were immediately blown down like dumplings.
At this time, the Imperial Army soldiers jumped up to the city wall and quickly occupied the top of the city wall.
Oops!
When Zhang Xianzhong saw two powerful generals running towards the city gate tower with people, he hurriedly fled with a group of generals and guards.
The city wall on the east side of Wuchang City was taken down like this.
However, the Crazy King's army did not rush down the city wall and rushed into the city, and Zhang Xianzhong did not despair at this time, because Wuchang City is a large military camp now, with nearly 200,000 troops in the city. Zhang Xianzhong believed that even if the city wall was lost, the Crazy King would still have no choice but to deal with him.
Because the Crazy King's men are under the full force of less than 100,000, will they dare to rush down the city wall?
I have to say that he was thinking too much.
The same goes for the same sentence: they still have a chance to fight in close combat, but once they get a distance, they won’t have a chance.
Muskets and cannons and sky-bombing thunder are not kidding. As long as you can distance yourself, hot weapons will slaughter cold weapons one-sidedly!
Zhang Xianzhong also thought of hoarding heavy troops under the city wall so that the Crazy King's army could not come down to the city wall. As a result, Zhu Qizhu directly ordered to move the tiger squat cannon onto the city wall, and a thunderbolt was blown down. With muskets and sky-burning thunder, the bandits under the city wall had no choice except to feel retreating.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhe ordered people to open the city gate and push the chariot in, and slowly advance with the chariot in front, musket in the back, artillery following, and thunder in the sky to deal with counterattack. Zhang Xianzhong had no choice.
After a fierce battle for one day, Zhang Xianzhong finally couldn't stand it anymore. The next morning, someone held a white flag and walked towards the frontier formation of the Crazy King's army.
This person was Yan Ximing, the right prime minister of the Great Western Dynasty. Zhang Xianzhong knew the purpose of sending him here without asking, and he couldn't beat him anymore and wanted to seek peace.
The so-called seeking peace is actually surrender. Most people seeking peace means they really want to surrender. However, Zhang Xianzhong has surrendered many times, but never once is true!
Hehe, do you want to use the same trick again and make a reversal judgment?
You think I am Chongzhen!
Zhu Qizhua did not flatly refuse when he received the news. After all, his purpose was not to kill Zhang Xianzhong, but to force Zhang Xianzhong to order everyone in Daxiong to stop resisting, and then take down all the territory of Daxiong without bloodshed.
In other words, whether it is to fight all the way until it defeats Zhang Xianzhong and catches Zhang Xianzhong, or negotiates with Zhang Xianzhong now, it is actually the same effect. Anyway, he will still talk to Zhang Xianzhong in the end.
Since Zhang Xianzhong chose to surrender at this time, let's talk. After all, if the battle continues, his men will inevitably suffer casualties.
