please make me king

Chapter 1239
"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a burst of gunfire, followed by the sound of shells hitting rocks and the screams of soldiers, and then the shouts of "thief soldiers" charging to kill.

Again?

Dong Yongwen, the left deputy general of the Shenshu Camp, frowned, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Although he was not as good as his father, the famous general Dong Yiyuan, or his uncle, the mighty Dong Yikui, he was still a veteran general, and he understood the power of a "thief" better than most of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp.

First of all, fast, the thief came too fast.

Originally, according to the plan, the Shenshu Camp should rush to Huozhou before the rebel army captured Pingyang.

As a result, he never expected that before he arrived in Huozhou, he would hear the news of Huozhou's fall. This "thief" made progress so fast that people were caught off guard.

Followed by fierce, the thief's artillery is too sharp, too violent.

In fact, the Ming army was equipped with a lot of artillery. Even under the guiding ideology of the Ming army "substituting cannons for blunderbusses", the Ming army's respective tiger squatting cannons, Frang machine, exterminating captive cannons, and large and small general cannons were equipped with an astonishing amount.

However, the thieves were completely opposite to the tactics of the Ming army. Although they didn't have many artillery pieces, they were all heavy artillery pieces.

A battalion of them can also be equipped with a dozen "Red Barbarian Cannons", which can be fired fast, fast, fierce and far away. It can be said that one is equal to ten.

The third is cleverness, the thieves' tactics are simply ingenious and unexpected.

When thieves engage in battle with officers and soldiers, they fire guns first, and then follow them with soldiers.

Every time, when the officers and soldiers were bombarded in chaos by the cannons, they could rush forward.

This is terrible, how can flesh and blood withstand iron and stone shells?
Every time, it was this kind of "Cheng Yaojin's three axes", which was simple and crude but effective, and beat the left deputy general Dong Yongwen without any temper.

"General, the thief's artillery is too fierce, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties!" At this moment, the deputy general Wang Yuncheng came to report out of breath.

"Some cannonballs hit the stones, and the stones were completely shattered. The splash of broken stones is a hundred times better than lead pellets."

"Some cannonballs fell to the ground and blossomed, and lead pellets were shot in all directions. I don't know how many heroes died on the spot inadvertently."

"The thief's artillery is so sharp, how can we resist it?"

It turned out that when Sun Chuanting led Zhang Dashou and his [-] elite troops to cross Shuque Valley by water, Wei Zhiyou also led his [-] soldiers across mountains and mountains to storm the Shenshu camp stationed in Hanxinling.

It turns out that Hanxinling is also called Hanhouling and Gaobiling, because Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, was buried here, so it is called Hanxinling.

Its location is less than [-] miles away from Lingshi, and the mountains are steep and the terrain is dangerous.

Originally, this kind of terrain is not conducive to the offensive side to take advantage of the number of people, so you can use less for more, and one for ten.

It's just that Dong Yongwen never expected that the Rebel Army's artillery was sharp, and it became an extremely difficult problem to deal with in such a narrow and dangerous terrain that required head-to-head confrontation.

Therefore, the two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. Although the rebels could not advance an inch, the Ming army also suffered a lot of losses.

"It's hard for me, but it's even harder for thieves!" Dong Yongwen couldn't help but encouraged, "Stay on for a few more days, and when the army of Zuo Governor Zhu Xieyuan arrives, everything will be fine!"

Is Dong Yongwen right?That's right!
Just when the officers and soldiers could hardly bear the rebel artillery, in fact, the rebels themselves could not bear this kind of fierce attack tactics.

"Chief soldier, it won't work. Such a forceful attack will cause too many casualties!" An officer also repeatedly said to Wei Zhiyou.

"The rubble shattered by the cannon does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the damage is astonishing. Seven or eight brothers have already been killed or injured."

It turned out that because of the difficult terrain of Han Xinling, when the rebel army attacked with "coordinated infantry and artillery", many artillery shells smashed the stones of the Ming army's masonry camp, and injured many of our own people.

"The fierce attack on Han Xinling was the original plan of the rebel army. If there is any violation, the military law will be followed!" Wei Zhiyou couldn't help but coldly said.

Now Sun Chuanting and Zhang Dashou are passing through the "perilous" Shuque Valley, and they don't know how the progress is going.

Wei Zhiyou had no choice but to adopt this method to support it in accordance with the previous agreement.

"This... can this work?" The officer hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and asked in a low voice.

"The Shuque Valley has not been inhabited for three to five hundred years. If they collapse there and we suffer too many casualties, what should we do?"

Wei Zhiyou frowned when he heard the words, and shouted in a low voice: "It's a big taboo for military strategists to trust each other!"

"In every battle, there must be a priority, and there must be a priority. If everyone doubts, how can we win the battle!"

The man was stunned for a moment, then realized his mistake, and quickly admitted his mistake: "What the commander-in-chief said is true. I was shaken in my mind and almost ruined a major event. Please punish me."

"Just remember, merits and demerits will be discussed after the war!" Wei Zhiyou shook his head and said.

To be honest, he may not have been shaken in his heart, but he knows that the military order is like a mountain, how can it be child's play?

Whether it is successful or not, I have to bite the bullet and stand firm to the end, waiting for the final result.

"I can't trust Sun Chuanting, but I can trust King Shun!" Wei Zhiyou muttered to himself, raised his head suddenly, and shouted again: "The artillerymen obey the order, and prepare for the next wave of infantry to attack together!"

Wei Zhiyou gave an order, and the officer who questioned him just now quickly took the order and asked the soldiers to help him put on his armor.

For such a hard fight, it is generally necessary to wear double armor, and it must be assisted by someone to put it on neatly.

He put on the quilted placket, then the chain mail with arrows, hesitated, and finally put on the battle jacket.

Immediately, the whole person was swollen, looking like a black bear.

He walked up to Wei Zhiyou and said in a low voice: "I'm gone, if I can't come back, please send my dead body back to Baode's hometown!"

Before Wei Zhiyou could answer, the officer strode away without turning his head.

As he walked, he yelled loudly: "Fourth Division is ready, follow me and prepare to attack!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely win!" Looking at his leaving back, Wei Zhiyou couldn't help but whispered.

In fact, he was already used to it. He was used to the familiar people around him leaving one by one, and he was used to the soldiers and officers who were talking and laughing with him in front of him.

However, all this is worth it, because only by putting their lives in, can this troubled world end.

"Bang bang bang!" Just when Wei Zhiyou was full of thoughts, the violent artillery sounded again, fierce and fast.

This is the cannon of the rebel army, invincible and invincible!
Wei Zhiyou looked at Han Xinling, which was once again filled with gunpowder smoke not far away, and he couldn't help thinking: "Sun Chuanting, Zhang Dashou, have you reached Lingshi County and occupied Lingshi City? How much do I have to fill in by myself? The lives of the rebel soldiers will go in!"

However, this time, as usual, artillery was used to tear open the Ming army's position, and then the rebels rushed forward.

"One, two, three..." Wei Zhiyou counted silently, waiting for the attacking officer to give a signal to guide the artillery to stop the pursuit of the Ming army and help them retreat.

However, after waiting for a long time this time, Wei Zhiyou did not wait for the signal to request the pursuit of the Ming army.

What's going on, is something wrong?
Wei Zhiyou couldn't help but look forward to it, and liked to see the figure who left just now.

Days felt like years, and I don't know how long it had passed. When Wei Zhiyou became more and more depressed, he suddenly saw a signal rising high on the battlefield.

Wei Zhiyou was overjoyed at first, and quickly ordered loudly: "The artillery is ready... wait, this is not blocking the signal!"

Then he was taken aback, but immediately reacted: "This is a signal to request a pincer attack."

"Could it be that Sun Chuanting and Zhang Dashou have already circled behind the enemy lines? How could it be so fast!"
