Chapter 54 Strange Army
Chuzhou became the northern gate of Nanjing, located in the northwest of Nanjing City. If you want to take Nanjing, you must first take Chuzhou.
Ma Shiying attaches great importance to this place.
Without receiving a reply from the four towns in Jiangbei, Ma Shiying understood that the four towns in Jiangbei had rebelled.
Therefore, he quickly strengthened the garrison of Chuzhou City, sent his own nephew to lead the strong army to station, trying to use Chuzhou to block Zhu Cixuan, and then mobilize troops to gather and annihilate him.
At this moment, Ye Yun had arrived ten miles outside Chuzhou City. Ye Yun ordered all the soldiers to set up camps and send scouts to investigate Chuzhou City.
It was really careless to find that all the soldiers were stationed in the city and there was no military stronghold outside the city.
"General Ye, you made a military order in front of the Prince's Hall. Now we only have four days to attack the city overnight?"
Gao Jie said with some confusion.
The first day was gone while traveling. Strictly speaking, there were only three days left. Ye Yun actually ordered the army to set up camp here. Isn’t this a waste of time?
"General Gao, you see, it's going to be dark soon. If all of them are dark, the weapons we have in our hands will not have any advantages. Besides, tomorrow is the next day, and we still have time, so don't worry about this time."
Ye Yun just finished saying that, but he almost choked these people to death.
During the previous dynasty, Chuzhou City also experienced wars and once held here for four months. Now you only have a few days to go, and the city wall is even stronger than that time, so you are not in a hurry. How confident is this in your heart?
Ye Yun knew from their eyes what they wanted to say, but Ye Yun did not argue with them about this matter.
He ordered his subordinates to set up camps and then sent people to urge the shells.
The shells were not transported here, so did the manpower to attack the city? There is no such reason. I will only transport the shells tonight. We are not a fool.
"What do you think in Ye Yun's head? The people on the Crown Prince's side are full of weirdness. I have seen Ma Kun, who is a man who is playing with Guan Gong's sword and is powerful. If I let me fight alone with him, I will not be sure to beat him."
When Liu Liangzuo saw Ye Yun leave, he couldn't help it. He had never spoken, but what he was doing here was too weird.
"Who said no? Ma Kun doesn't have a good reputation in normal times, but when it comes to placing troops and setting up formations, this guy has a trick in the Southern Dynasty. Otherwise, Ma Shiying wouldn't have taken him so seriously. There are more than ten nephews in Ma City, so why should he bring Ma Kun with him? Isn't it because this guy is talented? Ye Yun despises him so much, and there will definitely be something big."
Huang Degong and Ma Kun are quite friendly. They had eaten together before, and they knew from their words that this guy is so powerful, so they were quite worried about Ye Yun.
Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo looked at each other. They originally thought that they would be able to surrender to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and that their future path would be easier.
It seems unlikely now that His Royal Highness is too scheming to do things. Such an important city has been arranged like this, and it is still difficult to get along in the future.
"It's more than that. I just looked around and there was no ladder to attack the city. I really don't know how they attacked the city. The walls of Chuzhou City cannot catch up with Beijing and Nanjing, but among the cities in various places, they are also top-notch. Could it be that they will jump up directly then?"
Huang Degong pointed to the camp in the distance and said that the soldiers had already started cooking, and they seemed to be in a hurry, and their expressions were even more relaxed than Ye Yun.
"Come here."
Gao Jie saw a team of soldiers passing by not far away and called all of them. The soldiers also knew Gao Jie and the others' identities and ran over without any delay.
"You general said you were going to attack the city tomorrow, but you didn't even have ladders or catapults. How do you attack the city?"
Facing an ordinary soldier, Gao Jie was too lazy to make other preparations, so he directly raised the questions in his heart.
"General Qi, we don't need those things to attack the city!"
The soldier replied with a surprised look on his face, as if these people were ignorant people.
In Gao Jie's opinion, catapults and ladders are indispensable in siege, which is almost common sense. It has been a lot of time since this kid stayed in the army for a day or two. Don't he even know this?
"Then what are you using to attack the city?"
Huang Degong said in great confusion, and the others also looked at the kid with surprise.
"We use cannons to attack the city. We use cannonballs to blow up their city walls. After the walls collapse, won't we go into the city?"
The soldiers said naturally that they had practiced this tactic during training.
I don't understand why these generals didn't understand. When he finished speaking, his comrades were calling him, so I hurried to do business, leaving these four generals with a stunned look on their faces.
These people were a little unbelievable and called other soldiers over, and the results they got were the same.
I rode around the barracks on horseback and found that there were indeed no so-called ladders and catapults.
Their minds were full of question marks. Even if you were right, they could blow up their city gates with cannons, but there were so many soldiers in the question. Can you get in just by going in?
Just by you, how can you beat others?
It soon became dark, and these people couldn't eat anything. The hot rice on the table turned into cold rice. However, the sound of snoring came from the tent next to it. These soldiers were really able to sleep...
In Gao Jie and the others' opinion, if war is fought tomorrow, ordinary soldiers will basically not be able to sleep.
I always keep my eyes open all night, and none of these guys seemed to take it seriously. How did they train?
In fact, the reason for this situation is that when Zhu Cilang was training in Shandong, he once asked someone to make a Tucheng.
Then after a while, all the soldiers saw that scene. Not many people took this kind of city wall into their hearts. As long as our cannonballs are enough, it is no problem to have any kind of city wall.
"Night attack, night attack..."
Just when Gao Jie and the others were about to hold on, the soldiers guarded outside issued an alarm.
These people immediately put on armor and then remembered that they were not in their own military camp, and they wanted to see how Ye Yun responded to the enemy.
The soldiers outside the tent also carried out orderly and prepared to attack the invading enemy...
