Chapter 791 The Battle of Zhuxian Town (Part [-])
Liu Zongmin ran back, but Li Zicheng and Li Guo didn't blame him either.

From their point of view, such a level of counterattack is nothing.

Now this Zhuxian Town is like a delicate and beautiful lady, although it is inevitable that there will be some resistance movements such as scratching, but it is actually useless.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng ordered Liu Zongmin to retreat for a while to rest, but let his nephew Li Guo go into battle, and he himself led the army to hold the battle.

Li Guo has been following Li Zicheng in the army for a long time, and his qualifications are older than Liu Zongmin.Years of fighting career has made him a veteran.

Liu Zongmin will not make the mistakes he has already found out.

Li Zicheng, as a representative who was already "good at attacking", often broke through the city during his fleeing, and he had quite some experience in rushing to attack.

Li Guo saw that he could not succeed in ascending the city, Zhu Xianzhen was quite on guard, but he was not panicked.

He hurriedly asked the soldiers to take out the cannons such as the extermination cannon and the second general.

Because when Zhang Shun first joined the rebel army, the fierce artillery showed indiscriminate firepower in field battles and sieges, and other rebels also followed suit.

However, due to Zhang Shun's design and use of the artillery mount and the organization of the artillery as a secret, the external blockade was relatively strict, and other rebels did not know the secrets.

However, after all, the rebel army realized the importance of artillery, and most of them carried out some artillery construction within their capabilities.

Although they can't solve the mobility problem of larger artillery, they can be easily carried like the [-]-[-] kg Second General Cannon and the [-] kg Mielu Cannon.

The second general gun is roughly equivalent to the Western six-pound gun, and the Mielu gun is roughly equivalent to the Western three-pound gun.

Although these artillery are basically useless for attacking the strong city, they are still easy to deal with the fragile city gate.

Even for some cities with weak defensive will, they may surrender when they hear the sound of artillery.

Not long after, Li Guo gathered the cannons in the battalion, the second general had eight cannons, and the captive extermination cannons were more than twenty.

Li Guo first ordered a few test shots, and just in time, two more shells hit the city gate, leaving two holes, one large and one small.

Then he ordered the soldiers to shout: "We are passing by the rebel army, only seeking money, not killing people."

"If you want to know each other, open the city gate quickly to avoid disaster! If you don't want to, wait until I break into the city, and no one will be left behind!"

As a result, the city quickly responded: "It turned out that Qin Kou was in person, and he was far away, so don't forgive me!"

Li Guo couldn't help but his heart sank when he heard the words, the city responded so quickly and their attitude was so firm, this was the result he never expected.

According to his past experience, even if the defenders in the city cannot surrender, most of them will beg each other softly and dare not speak harshly to each other.

However, the defense attitude of the city is so firm now, even if there is no support, it will probably be difficult to break.

The matter has come to this point, Li Guo is not a person who is afraid of trouble, he can't help but sneer and said: "In that case, attack the city!"

Since coercion and profiteering are not easy to use, there is no need to talk nonsense, everything is in hand to see the truth.

The sound of artillery roaring like thunder sounded again, and the shells flew towards the gate of Zhuxian Town as if they didn't want money.

Soon the city gate became riddled with holes, and even the rebels were able to pass through the holes in the gate and see the streets behind the gate.

Immediately after Li Guo gave an order, a group of people rushed forward with swords and shields in hand.

Dozens of people suddenly appeared on the city, and stones and bricks were thrown downwards, knocking down seven or eight people in a short time, and the rebel army was in a mess.

Li Guo saw someone showing his head in the city, he couldn't help but sneered, and immediately ordered the archers and musketeers to shoot at the city.

Immediately, several defenders on the city were shot down, and one of them fell from the tower, knocking down two of them on the spot who were charging under the city.

While Li Guo couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

The defenders on the city obviously will not avoid the suppression of firepower below the city, and their tactical literacy is insufficient.This shows that the defenders of Zhuxian Town are either insufficiently trained guard soldiers, or archers from the inspection department or temporary recruits from the town.

For Li Zicheng's army, who has experienced many battles, this is just a vulnerable opponent.

Not long after, the soldiers with swords and shields of the Rebel Army had already arrived at the city gate riddled with holes, and everyone slammed into it with their shields.

The huge recoil hit the sword, shield, and hand blood surged, and some people even fell on their backs, with their feet in the air.

But none of these soldiers was timid, instead they rushed forward again.

After bumping four or five times in a row, only a loud bang was heard, and the city gate was knocked down to the ground.

Dao Dunshou's eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw a spacious street and affluent shops behind the city gate, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It was a surprise that there was no Wengcheng.

Seeing that Zhu Xianzhen was like a stripped woman who could only be slaughtered, these sword and shield fighters couldn't help rushing forward with strange screams again.

Unexpectedly, the sound of "creaking, creaking" wheels was suddenly heard, and then a huge chariot covered with swords appeared in the eyes of everyone, and then, pushed by many people, blocked the smashed city gate again.

"Saimen knife cart?" All the sword and shield players couldn't help being surprised.

It turned out that the saber cart was an important tool for defending the city. It was made of solid wood, almost as wide as the city gate, and about ten feet high.

Once the city gate is lost, it can be pushed out to block the city gate.

The sharp knife on the top can prevent the siege soldiers from climbing, and can stab the soldiers who come from the bee pupae.

Seeing the city gate lying on the ground, the soldiers of the righteous army rushed forward and bumped into the gate saber cart. Even though they were protected by shields, they were still squeezed by the soldiers from the north, and four or five people were stabbed to death.

Before the Swordsman turned around and retreated, there was another gunshot from behind the Saimen knife cart, and another seven or eight Swordsmen were shot.

The siege army couldn't help being defeated, but Li Guo couldn't help looking at Zhuxian Town standing in front of him with a sullen face, and couldn't help asking angrily: "What's going on here?"

In fact, this is because Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and other rebels have less knowledge.

It turns out that since the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy has developed rapidly, and the towns have developed rapidly.

For example, Sanchuan City and Taowan Town, which are in charge of the rebel army, are relatively typical towns.

Originally, it was organized according to the administrative divisions and officials of the Ming Dynasty, and there were no institutions and officials specializing in the management of towns.

However, can a living person be suffocated by urine?In many cities and towns, in addition to the self-governing organizations established by the merchants themselves, the imperial court will also set up inspection departments to manage public security and send officials to station them according to the importance of the cities and towns.

Generally speaking, different cities and towns often dispatch assistant officials such as Dian Shi and Tong San to take charge of management.

This Zhuxian town is located in Fuxiang County, Fuguo County, where the Henan chief envoy and the Kaifu government office were located. There are as many garrison officials as the inspection department.

In view of the frequent thieves and bandits in recent years, Zhuxian Town not only set up the city walls and gates, but also the big households in the city contributed their efforts to train young men, equip them with firecrackers, knives, guns and defensive equipment.

Once the police were heard, the gongs and drums were beaten, and all the merchants hid in the city, making Ding Zhuang carry weapons for defense.

There are many merchants and guards in Zhuxian Town, and there are many Shanshan Guild Halls and Shanxi Guild Halls in the town.

These people were originally born in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and have suffered from military disasters for a long time, so they have a more thorough understanding of the "Qin Bandits" than others.

What's more, because the rebels were running back and forth, it caused a lot of trouble to Henan. The local people have hated the rebels from Shaanxi for a long time, how can they be deceived by a few words?
Originally, the "preparation for bandits" in Zhuxian Town was planned by businessmen such as Shanshan Guild Hall and Shanxi Guild Hall in the city.

They suddenly heard the familiar Yansui accent, how dare they not work hard to fight to the death?
