Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 603 Something is wrong
Although the spies placed by the Ruan family in Shenglong City were captured by the Zheng family's soldiers, and the information about the Zheng family's large-scale recruiting of strong men failed to be sent to Fuchun City from the spies, the keen Ruan Youjin still discovered the precursors of the Zheng family's large-scale attack. .So both sides were preparing for battle on a large scale, and young men were captured into the barracks one by one.Among them, the strong and skilled fighters were issued weapons and underwent brief training, while the thin and thin ones transported grain, grass and cannons, and served as hard labor in the barracks.

Standing on the pagoda in Shenglong City, Zhang Yuan looked at the busy city.According to his observation in the past three months, the Zheng family has recruited as many as 10 strong men from all over the country. Including the original soldiers of the Zheng family, there are 5 troops in Shenglong City alone.Such a huge force, coupled with a larger transport force, means that they have to provide food supplies for more than 30 people.If they can't win this battle, it is estimated that the situation of the Zheng family will definitely not be easy next spring, and they may even fall into a desperate situation of cannibalism.

"Hey, the Zheng family really has the courage to put all their eggs in one basket and want to unify the Annan country. There are more than 200 strong men and tens of thousands of troops. The Zheng family has only [-] million people in the whole country. Has it already given up everything?" Wei Long also stood in front of Buddha On the tower, you can look down on the strong men who are busy transporting food and grass in Shenglong City like looking down on ants.

"A dozen or 20 people is not a small force in our Central Plains. If we put it in troubled times, we can still rule one side. The Zheng family is afraid, so they put all their eggs in one basket." Zhang Yuan sighed.

"Afraid? Are they afraid that the Ruan family will become stronger and they will attack them from the north?" Wei Long asked.

"No, what they are afraid of is not the Ruan family, but our Huaxia."

Zhang Yuan turned around, "Let's go down, the fate of the Zheng family has come to an end."

In the beginning of autumn in the second year of Kyushu, after the Zheng family organized people to rush to harvest food, the Zheng family's Yulin Army, who had made sufficient preparations, once again led the third southern expedition under the leadership of Zheng Zhu Zheng Bing!The vanguard general Zheng Yu has brought his troops to form a siege around Rili Haikou in advance, preventing the Ruan family navy in Rili Haikou from cutting off the Zheng family's retreat.Because they secretly reached a secret agreement with Zhang Yuan, they believed that the Kyushu Army would not intervene in this war, so they had absolute confidence to destroy the Ruan family with their own strength!

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ruan family were preparing for the battle on the ten-mile-long defense line of the Changde base, until one day they saw the thick wooden gate of the Changyu base open, and teams of the Zheng family's imperial forest troops came out through the gate, announcing the Zheng family's battle. Start trying to attack the long German base again!

On the wall of Changde Fortress, soldiers were running one by one, and the sound of golden drums continued.

"General, the Zheng family has finally launched an attack!!!" A soldier scrambled down the city wall and said to Ruan Youjin, the guard of Changde Base.

"Why are you so happy for the Zheng family to launch an attack? Are you a spy sent by the Zheng family?" Ruan Youjin said depressedly.

"How can the little one be a spy of the Zheng family! It's true that these days the big guys know that the Zheng family is going to attack Changde Base, and a bloody battle is inevitable, so some of them are overwhelmed by this matter. Now Zheng When the family called, we were relieved!" Said the soldier.

"You guys are really short-sighted. Come up with me to defend against the enemy." Ruan Youjin put on his armor and led his soldiers along the stone steps to the city wall.

Ruan Youjin looked down, and saw that the Zheng family dispatched more than [-] troops at one time, forming a camp in front of the Changde base, with the Changyu base behind them as support.

"It's exactly the same as last year. I really don't understand what gave them the courage to attack the solid Changde base again." Ruan Youjin carefully observed the formation set up by the Zheng family, as if returning to the bloody battle against the Changde base last year.

It's just that this time the Ruan family was not as flustered as the previous year, and the regent Ruan Fuxi had secretly signed a new treaty with the Nanyang Fleet of the Kyushu Army, which made the situation of the Ruan family much better than the previous year.But the more this happened, the more uneasy Ruan Youjin became, because he couldn't figure out how the Zheng family would call again.The battlefield is changing rapidly, and any negligence may lead to a complete loss.

"General, what are you thinking? The other party is about to start bombardment, and please retreat as soon as possible to avoid being injured!" Seeing that Ruan Youjin suddenly fell into deep thought, several soldiers couldn't help being anxious.

At this time, the soldiers of the Zheng family below were busy arranging artillery, trying to avoid the attack range of the defensive cannons of Changde Base.After changing from cold weapons to hot weapons, An Nanguo began to rely on artillery.

"No, I'll stay on the city wall to observe their tactics. I always feel that something is wrong." Ruan Youjin insisted on leaving the city wall behind.

"But cannonballs have no eyes. Our Ruan family doesn't have many generals. If something happens to you again, general, who will lead us to defend the Changde base..." the soldiers urged anxiously.

"Military orders are like a mountain!" Ruan Youjin hid impatiently behind the city wall, looking at the deployment of the Zheng family's army below, trying to find out what made him feel wrong.

"Yes...Everyone, be careful to protect the general!" Seeing that Ruan Youjin insisted on observing from the front line, Ruan Youjin's soldiers had to surround Ruan Youjin with a shield in their hands. It doesn't work anymore.

boom!boom!Boom boom boom!The ground suddenly shook, and dozens of cannons brought by the Zheng family roared in unison, and fell into the defense line of Changde Base like a meteor shower!

"Everyone hide behind the city wall and lean against the city wall! Those who show their heads are going to die!" A small officer shouted hysterically to the surrounding soldiers when the shelling started on the opposite side.

Boom!The solid bullet hit the wall, and a broken stone flew, killing the unlucky little officer on the spot, scaring some recruits around to lie on the ground in horror.

However, the Zheng family's artillery did not frighten Ruan Youjin. He let some stray bullets hit near the section of the city wall where he was, and remained indifferent.The sound of the artillery at this time is quite loud, but the power is not enough to cause a large number of casualties. Rather than worrying about being hit, it is better to worry about the city wall being smashed down.

"It's not about the artillery, what's wrong?" Ruan Youjin was puzzled.Now the strength of the Zheng family's artillery is about the same as when they attacked Changde base the year before. The difference is that the well-prepared Zheng family's army can use artillery and concentrate artillery fire more skillfully.But this is not the source of Ruan Youjin's uneasiness.

"After the bombardment, their infantry will try to attack the city wall, and the battalions are ready to repel their attack. The city defense artillery is ready, so that they can also taste the feeling of being bombarded by artillery!" Ruan Youjin really couldn't figure it out. When it gradually became sparse, he had no choice but to give up and repel the Zheng family's offensive first.
