please make me king

Chapter 1666
"Boom, boom, boom!" Accompanied by a rumbling cannon, the rebel artillery resounded outside the city of Shenyang again.

Different from the last time, the sound of artillery this time is more dense and layered.

Among them, the one with the loudest voice is the "General Qingtian Cannon", the one with a duller voice is the "Golden Cannon", the one with a sharper voice is the "Field Cannon", and the one with the deepest voice is the "Flying Blower".

All of a sudden, the shells flew together, the ground cracked and the landslides collapsed, only hitting the city of Shenyang so that no one could stand on it.

"It can't be done, Lord Belle, the 'thief' artillery is too fierce, we can't lift our heads!" Left and right couldn't help complaining to Anping Belle Dudu.

"This..." Du Du looked at the shattered parapet, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

After the four troops from Zhang Sanbai, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, and Li Dingguo joined together, they besieged Shenyang City from the north, west, and south respectively, and concentrated artillery to bombard the west wall.

Although the city wall was made of rammed earth and was extremely strong, it was difficult for the rebels to destroy it for a while, but the defensive facilities such as parapets and battle sheds on the city became the targets of the rebels' artillery.

Not long after, the facilities on the city were almost completely destroyed, only the soldiers on the city ran away with their heads in their arms.

But it doesn't matter when the soldier escapes, the soldiers of the rebel army took advantage of the machine frame to mount the ladder and came to attack the city.

When Hou Jinbing saw that the situation was not good, he quickly transferred soldiers to defend.

As a result, another cannonball hit, and it was unknown how many people were killed or injured.

In this way, the guns covered the soldiers, and the soldiers covered the guns, taking turns to fight, and beat Du Du and others without any temper.

"He's so aggrieved, I really can't go out and fuck him!" Some people couldn't stand this kind of passive beating, and they couldn't help but volunteered.

"I implore Lord Baylor to let me go out of the city. Even if I die in battle, it's better than being so aggrieved!"

"This..." Du Du heard the words, and under the cover of half of the dilapidated parapet wall, he boldly stretched his head out and looked out, only to see the rebel cannons lined up densely, maybe there were nearly a hundred of them.

And behind those densely packed artillery, several phalanxes were neatly separated.

On the left and right sides of the phalanx, thousands of cavalry were deployed, staring at the gate of Shenyang City.

Seeing this, he believed that once the Houjin soldiers left the city, they would be greeted with a thunderbolt.

At that time, the loss of troops will not be mentioned, I am afraid that the opponent will also take the opportunity to drive away the defeat and compete for the city gate, and the situation will become more and more unfavorable.

"Wait a little longer, wait until the day is later, and then worry about it!" Thinking of this, Du Du couldn't help hesitating for a moment, and then ordered.

"Ah, still waiting?" Everyone was dissatisfied when they heard the words, and returned to their posts cursing.

The sound of the guns was booming, and the fighting was in full swing, and it was unknown how many lives were lost, and it was not until dark.

It was getting late, and the soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally after a day of fighting.

Du Du heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to withdraw his troops, but unexpectedly found that the rebels did not retreat as usual, he couldn't help being surprised.

"General, the sun is setting on the western mountain, and it seems that we can withdraw our troops!" At this moment, Yang Guozhu, commander of the western side of the rebel army, was asking Zhang Sanbai for instructions.

It turns out that Lu Xiangsheng's department is located in Pinglubao in the north, Yang Guozhu's department is located in Shalingdun in the west, and Zhang Sanbai and Li Dingguo's departments are located in Baitapu in the south.

These four groups of men and horses formed the horns of each other, besieging Shengjing and Shenyang on three sides.

It was only because of this that Zhang Sanbai, who was located in the south, was not convenient for unified command, so he came to Yang Guozhu's camp to coordinate the forces of the three parties.

"Let's kill for a while while the sky is still dark!" Zhang Sanbai frowned, and continued to order, "After the kill for a while, it's not too late to call Jin to withdraw!"

"Alright!" Yang Guozhu thought for a while, and felt that the problem was not a big deal, so he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Following the two men's orders, the cannons of the rebel army resounded again,

After the sound of the guns, the soldiers who attacked the city climbed up the ladder to attack the city again.

However, when everything was going on as usual, there was only a sound of cannon, and suddenly many soldiers came out from nowhere.

As soon as these post-Jin soldiers appeared, they only rushed to the ladder where the rebels attacked the city.

Those soldiers have been attacking for a day, not only physically exhausted, but also mentally slack, how could they have expected the sudden appearance of an enemy?

"Enemy attack!" As soon as the soldiers guarding the siege ladder noticed Houjin's movement, they couldn't help but loudly warned, while quickly forming a resistance.

It's just that there are not many of these people, how can they resist?

They were quickly killed and scattered, and then they were poured with oil, ignited the ladder truck and other siege equipment, and ignited a raging fire.

"Yang Chengzu, go to the rescue!" The three hundred saw it clearly, and he couldn't help but ordered quickly.

"The last general takes orders!" Yang Chengzu also knew that the matter was serious, without any hesitation, he quickly got on his horse, led the four or five hundred elite cavalry around him, and rushed up.

"Quick, hurry up, the 'thief' cavalry is coming!" Those post-gold soldiers who left the city to make a surprise attack didn't expect the rebels to react so quickly, and couldn't help being surprised.

At the same time, the guards in Shenyang City also noticed the movement of the rebels, and they couldn't help resisting the rebel soldiers who were attacking the city desperately, while firing guns and arrows below the city, trying to disrupt the attack of Yang Chengzu's cavalry.

"Fire, fire!" At this moment, Zhang Sanbai also gave the order for fire support.

The cannons of the rebel army resounded again, and the dense shells hit the head of the city, suppressing the defenders of the other side.

"Let's go, let's go!" It was too late to say, but at that time, Yang Chengzu's cavalry rushed over quickly, and immediately fought with Houjin's infantry.

Seeing that he couldn't hold back, the opponent fought and retreated, and slowly leaned towards the city wall.

"Kill!" Yang Chengzu saw that the opponent was standing behind the city, and thought that he had nothing to do, so he ordered his soldiers to use blunderbuss, bows and arrows to slowly disrupt the opponent's formation, and was ready to wait until he found a flaw, and then he would strike to determine the victory.

He had made up his mind, he couldn't help but bowed his bow and set up an arrow, and shot it straight at the opponent's door.

I saw the man's face was covered with blood, and he fell on his back, which immediately won a burst of cheers.

After shooting two or three more rounds like this, it seemed that the formation on the opposite side became thinner. Yang Chengzu suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but quickly ordered: "Come on!"

"Come on!" Hearing this, the four or five hundred cavalry quickly collected their blunderbuss, bows and arrows, and took their long spears to charge forward.

Sure enough, this group of queen gold soldiers collapsed at the first touch, and were torn apart by the rebel cavalry in an instant, hacking and killing.

"It turned out to be a cave for hiding soldiers!" When the soldiers who were attacked by Jin came out of the city after being defeated, Yang Chengzu took a closer look, but he saw several dark caves behind the army formation just now.

It seems that Hou Jin Bing rushed out from here just now, and now he is going back from here.

"General, do we want to go in!" Left and right couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw the opening of the cave.

"Since you know this is a cave for hiding soldiers, do you still dare to go in?" Yang Chengzu couldn't help scolding, "It's not like this to seek death, go back to camp!"

"Cave for hiding soldiers?" Zhang Sanbai didn't understand what was going on until Yang Chengzu returned to the camp.

It turns out that most of the city walls have caves for Tibetan soldiers, which are usually half buried in the ground, and the holes are built with bricks and sealed with soil, just like other parts of the city walls.

When the battle is urgent, the defenders will be able to escape by surprise and break out of the cave, disrupting the plan of the attacking party.

The same is true for Hou Jin's side. When the rebel army was attacking the city, they suddenly killed generals. Although they did not attack the artillery positions of the rebel army as planned, they also burned many siege equipment of the rebel army.

Since then, the rebels had no choice but to split up their manpower to cut down trees and replenish their equipment, but they were delayed for a long time.

"This time I'm impatient!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but blame himself when he heard this.

With great difficulty, the rebel army concentrated their forces and pushed Duoduo and others into Shenyang City. He was worried that there would be many nights and dreams, so he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.

I didn't think about it, but people burned a lot of siege equipment, which delayed my efforts.

"Zhang Shuai, General Lu, please see me!" Right here, there was a sudden report from the soldiers.

"Oh? Hurry up, please!" Zhang Sanbai quickly let go of the unhappiness in his heart, and took the initiative to welcome him out.

"Shuai Zhang, General Yang!" Lu Xiangsheng saluted the two of them quickly.

Zhang Sanbai and Yang Guozhu hurriedly saluted and welcomed Lu Xiangsheng in.

"Zhang Shuai, I heard that Ximen's slaughter was loud, so I don't know how the battle is going?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help asking as soon as he sat down.

"Alas!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but sighed a long time after hearing the words, and told him what happened just now.

"Oh?" Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile, "Since ancient times, the army has been used for many years, like His Royal Highness King Shun, who must attack and defend firmly, but it is rare in the world."

"You and I are not as capable as His Highness, I'm afraid we can only grind our kung fu with water."

"Water grinding kung fu?" Zhang Sanbai was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help showing embarrassment.

"It's not that I'm hypocritical, it's that His Highness devoted all the power of the whole country to appoint a hundred thousand soldiers and set up a net to plot Liaodong."

"Now most of Liaodong has recovered, only one in Shenyang, which is difficult to get down for a while."

"I'm worried that after a long period of time, there will be insufficient food and salary, so that the success will fall short, and if you return without success, you will be ashamed to see Your Highness!"

It turned out that the rebel army was initially established in the north, and there was a shortage of food and pay. It was only because Hong Tai was defeated and the Houjin Kingdom was empty. Zhang Shun judged the situation and tried to recover Liaodong in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate future troubles forever.

However, if you talk about it carefully.

A soldier has been fighting for years, exhausted physically and mentally;

The second is that food and wages are stretched, and it is difficult to support long-term consumption.

Therefore, Zhang Sanbai couldn't help being in a hurry.

If Shenyang cannot be taken as soon as possible this time, the rebels will have to retreat to Liaoyang. After Houjin recovers from this tone, he may take advantage of the cavalry and attack Horqin, Yizhou in Guangning, Liaoyang and North Korea. .

It will greatly restrain the strength of the rebel army, consume the few supplies of the rebel army, further delay the time for the rebel army to unify the world, and even cause a three-point situation in the world, which is also unknown.

"General, there is a saying that 'the mind is the top, the city is the bottom'!" Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangsheng laughed when he heard this.

"Of course the general knows that our army is short of food and wages and cannot last long, don't the Eastern Prisoners know that they have lost hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of miles of land, and that their destruction is imminent?"

"The more critical the moment is, the more we must be able to bear it, and the more we must be calm."

"Whoever can't hold his breath will lose; whoever can't hold his breath will lose!"
