please make me king

Chapter 777 Defending the City

Sun Tzu's Art of War said: If I want to fight, even if the enemy has a high fortress and a deep ditch, I have to fight with me. If I attack him, I will save him; It is also.

After Zhang Shun sent the chief officials of the Tang government to give the governor of Huguang Tang Hui the head of King Anyang and the clothes of a woman, Tang Hui was so angry that he sent a large army to attack the city that night.

In the end, they were easily repelled by the rebels with the help of the city.

The officers and soldiers were not too early or too late at this time, and the attack was very hasty, almost no doubt giving away their heads.

Zhang Shun never expected Huguang governor Tang Hui to be so stupid, he felt strange, and couldn't help muttering: "This Tang Hui is not a generation who doesn't know how to fight, how can he be so brainless this time?"

He didn't expect it, it turned out that the obscene clothes he sent over played a very important role.

It turned out that Zhang Shun commissioned Zeng Yurou to make the obscene clothes, and she habitually sewed them according to her own preferences and clothes patterns, and the results can be imagined.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian may not remember exactly what Princess Zeng Yurou's obscene clothes looked like, but he still knew the general color and style.

So, by mistake, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was almost mad, and Huguang governor Tang Hui saw the rebel army "slaughtering the clan", so naturally the two hit it off and sent troops to attack the city.

The officers and soldiers have not yet prepared the siege equipment, and the number of simple tools in their hands is not much better than that of the "Ant Possession" siege.

Nanyang City is twenty-seven steps away on Saturdays. It is two feet two feet high and two feet deep, and the trench is two feet two feet deep. There are four gates and four turrets each.Although Xiao Qinhu only had [-] soldiers and horses under his command, they were enough to defend the city.

Originally, the five hundred elites under Ren Jirong's command complained about him because they were abandoned outside the city, and they were unwilling to return to his command.

By the way, Zhang sent these soldiers to Xiao Qinhu's command for the time being, and let Ren Jirong take charge of the [-] surrendered soldiers in Nanyang City.

After completing the task of "cutting down a county king", Lao Hu vented his anger and had to join the rebel army.

By the way, Zhang ordered him to recruit some young men from the city for patrolling, which also saved the energy of the soldiers and gave them a full rest.

What's more, Zhang Shun can stand on the Wangfu Mountain in the Tang Palace, and have a clear view of the situation outside the city.He can make preparations in advance based on the observed movements of officers and soldiers.

Even sometimes, seeing that the officers and soldiers assembled are insufficient, they can dispatch Ren Guangrong's "child soldiers" to make an assault.

All these things made Huguang governor Tang Hui's teeth itch with hatred.If he hadn't considered his identity, he would have grabbed Tang Wang Zhu Yujian by the collar and questioned him: "Is the successive Tang Wang of your mansion out of their minds, how can we fight this battle when we build such a rockery that 'sees all the mountains at a glance'? "

After attacking the city a few times and suffering a few losses, Governor Tang Hui of Huguang regained his sanity.

"No, you can't fight like this!" Tang Hui frowned. If this continues, after a long time, I don't know what will happen in the city.

"Then what should we do?" Tang Wang's complexion was not good, and he had been having nightmares for the past few days, and he was already very anxious.

"I want to mobilize the elite to help in the battle!" Governor Tang Hui of Huguang gritted his teeth, and said cruelly, "The chief soldier You Shiwei and the deputy chief soldier Zhang Waijia have five thousand Shanhaiguan closed gate cavalry in their hands, which are suitable for defeating the enemy."

This You Shiwei is one of the "Three Heroes of the You family", the elder brother of You Shilu, the commander in chief defeated by Zhang Shun outside the city of Liaozhou.

This man was born as a general of the You family. He was originally a general in Changping, but later moved to the general of Shanhaiguan.

Last year, Houjin conquered Lin Danhan who fled to Tumot, and besieged Xuanfu when he returned to his division.He and Wu Xiang, the general of Ningyuan, were ordered to rush to help, but they were dismissed because they failed to advance.

Before the trip can be made in the future, it is because Zhang Shun is rampant in the west of Henan, and it is very difficult to control.The imperial court asked him to bring the deputy general Zhang Waijia to lead five thousand cavalry from the closed gate of Shanhaiguan to seek the thieves.

Tang Hui, governor of Huguang, was worried that bandits from Shaanxi and western Henan would flee to Nanyang and Huguang, so he ordered him to garrison Luonan Lancaochuan, Lushi Zhuyangguan and other places.

Now that Nanyang City is in a hurry, Huguang Governor Tang Hui couldn't care less, so he had to order him to come here.

In fact, this is Huguang governor Tang Hui's poor use of troops.Nayou Shiwei and Zhang Waijia have [-] iron cavalry in their hands, and their strength is even stronger than that of Fu Zonglong Zukuan's Liaodong iron cavalry.

If Tang Hui could transfer them to Ye County for a battle, galloping on horseback, rushing back and forth, unstoppable, the rebel army would fall into a very passive position.

As a result, this guy put five thousand elite riders into the high mountains for defense.

Just when Huguang governor Tang Hui dispatched troops, that Zhang Shun was standing on Wangfu Mountain.

He pointed at the crowd and said: "Look, with this observation point, the movements of the officers and soldiers outside the city can be clearly seen!"

Tang Hui, governor of Huguang, had the same opinion as Zhang Shun, and the camp happened to be set up on the site of the camp when the rebels attacked the city that day.

First, there are still some remaining, which saves the officers and soldiers a little bit of effort to set up camp; second, if things are not harmonious, they can also retreat to the mountains to the north in order to fight again.

And facing the officers and soldiers camp is the North Gate of Nanyang, called Bowang Gate.It is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang burned Bowang Po.

Of course, in fact, the protagonist who burned Bowangpo in history was the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande.Zhang Shun knew about this after Zeng Yurou explained it.

A new round of offensive by the officers and soldiers began. Teams of officers and soldiers carried long ladders and put them on the moat of Nanyang, using them as simple wooden bridges to cross the river.

Long ago, the defenders of the rebel army shot down arrows, but the Huguang soldiers were less armored, and they were shot by arrows one after another.

The unprotected human body is very fragile, and even bows and arrows with low pulling force can penetrate a soldier's body.

The soldiers who received penetrating wounds lost their combat power in an instant, and some even fell directly into the moat. After splashing twice, there were only faint blood spots floating on the river.

After the officers and soldiers crossed the moat, they were greeted by pounding stones and rolling logs.

Nanyang has many mountains and many rocks, so it is easier to prepare stones in the city.

Originally, there were some stones prepared by officers and soldiers in Nanyang City, but after the rebel army took over, they brought in a lot from outside the city.

Under the "wealth and wealth", he threw down the city wall as if he didn't want money for a while.These things were the officers and soldiers who were killed, injured, and almost defenseless, and they wailed suddenly.

I don't know how much time passed and how many lives were lost. Finally, officers and soldiers climbed up the tower, and they were greeted by dense spears stabbed.

Some people were stabbed into hedgehogs, and some people were stabbed into meat skewers.The corpses were thrown down one by one, and it is unknown how many officers and soldiers were killed and injured.

Like a flesh and blood mill, Huguang governor Tang Hui's siege was bloody and boring.

The rebels on the city were almost relentless in killing, when suddenly the gate of Bowang Gate opened wide, and a line of sharp-edged soldiers came out.

First came the rain of arrows, and then the stabbing of long spears, all of a sudden the officers and soldiers collapsed.

However, because the moat blocked the officers and soldiers, there was no escape. Most of them either fell into the water or were stabbed to death on the spot. Only a very few escaped by stepping on the ladders on the moat.

The people in the city heard the sound of the gold ringing again, and they judged with military literacy: The officers and soldiers have lost again!
