Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 248 Quegu City

After hearing Li Xin's words, Zhu Changyuan began to think seriously for the first time.

That's right, before I didn't have the capital in my hands, so naturally I couldn't talk about great ambitions, but now that I have the capital, a certain nerve in his heart was suddenly touched, and his thinking and posture instantly became different.

First of all, it will be a matter of time before the court of the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen become enemies.

If you want to realize your own ideals, complete the tasks delivered by the system, and lead the entire Ming Dynasty into the embryonic form of modernization, these are not easy to say. You are just sneaking in the dark, and you don't know when and when it will be completed?

However, if he put his own political ideas on the bright side, would Chongzhen agree?Will the officials of the Ming Dynasty agree?Will the people of the world agree?

will not!

What should I do?
What should I do if I encounter resistance?
These are just one of the reasons.

Ever since he saw Zhang Yan, the former empress who was so gorgeous and glamorous in the capital, he fell in love at first sight. However, the problem between the two of them was even bigger.

First of all, Zhang Yan is the queen, Zhu Changyuan is the courtier, and secondly, Chang Yuan is the uncle, and Zhang Yan is the nephew and daughter-in-law. Not only is there a difference in seniority and status, but there is also an invisible barrier between the two.

If it is said that there is still a one-in-ten-thousandth possibility of realizing political ideals, but Zhang Yan’s gap will never be bridged. Not only the civil and military societies of the Manchu Dynasty will oppose it, but even the people of the world will definitely not tolerate it.

So what?

There is only one answer, that is, the power over ten thousand people dominates the world. When he is furious and the world trembles, who else would dare to say no?
"I don't want to be like this. However, the emperor Taizu pioneered the country for more than two hundred years. This general really can't bear it."

"I'm very upset now, but you can decide everything, my lord." While speaking, he took out the white cloth in his arms and handed it to Li Xin, and gave him a buy one get one free gift. According to Xiong Wencan's imperial decree, he turned and walked away, and came to Polu's camp.

After a series of short training, Zhu Changyuan combined the 1 elite soldiers brought by Li Xin and the [-] horses brought by Polu from Fang County into one place, and set up camp outside Gucheng.

After the army was arranged, a meeting was held with several main backbones. Zhu Changyuan said: "Now we are stationed outside Gucheng. Although there are many people but too little food and grass, it may not last long. What is your good strategy?"

"There's no good strategy." Wang Wu stood up and said, "Master, give me 5000 troops, and I'll take Gucheng to the whole nest."

"Fart!" Zhu Changyuan couldn't help but swear when he heard this guy's words, and said: "Siege of a city is not a contest, it's not about bravery, it depends on wisdom."

Naturally, Zhu Changyuan thought of the siege weapon he had used to attack Shenyang Wei before!To be honest, that thing is really easy to use. Now it doesn't need twenty vehicles, but three or five vehicles can easily break through the walls of Gucheng.

But there is one inconvenience.

When they attacked Shenyang last time, the siege vehicle was stoned by Duduo, and it was already in a state of disrepair. Not to mention the bumps on the upper armor, the lower wheels had also been in disrepair for a long time and could not be used.

Now I can't even push it, and I still have a woolen thread.

If it is brought to the modern society to repair, I am afraid it will take at least three or two days of work, but right now the soldiers are short of food and grass, and it is difficult to persist even for two days.

"Be sure to take down Gucheng today!" Zhu Changyuan put down a sentence to make the rest of the people think.

The key to threshing the valley city is two points, either break the city wall, or break the city gate, or someone in the valley city should open the city gate for himself and rush in.

There must be no internal evidence. If you want to enter Gucheng, you can only rely on the first two methods. As for letting the soldiers climb to the top of the city and try their best, this method is too stupid, and Zhu Changyuan will not use it.

Without the siege weapon, although the city wall of Gucheng is not as thick as Shenyang, Zhu Changyuan has no choice but to think about it from the city gate.

Thinking of the city gate, Zhu Changyuan smiled.

A note appeared in his mind again.

Isn't it the city gate?Simple.

As long as the door is made of wood, as long as it is made of wood, you can do one thing: burn!

Of course, it is not acceptable to burn the gate directly, because the wood used as the city gate is not the kind that can be ignited at will, otherwise the ancients would have burned it thousands of times.

However, in Zhu Changyuan's eyes, this method is feasible.

It's out of order, right?It's ok, I can put some fuel on it, gasoline!

"Wang Wu!" The people below were still trying to find a way to discuss, Zhu Changyuan suddenly stood up, and said to Wang Wu: "Siege the city during lunch, burn the gate!"

"Yes, master!" Wang Wu agreed first, no matter what it was, and then asked with some doubts: "Master, what is Shaomen?"

When Wang Wu asked, the rest of the people also turned their heads to look at Zhu Changyuan, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"General!" Li Dao said, "Although the city gate is made of wood, it is not easy to ignite. I am afraid this method will not work!" Difficult to make."

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Changyuan stood up with a smile, and said: "Wang Wu still has Kong He, ready to attack the city at noon, I will prepare some necessities for you to start the fire, so that you can burn the door easily."

+++++++++++
Zhu Changyuan went out, found a hidden place, opened the system to have a look, and there was no need to go back to the modern society. There was a large iron drum of gasoline on a certain carriage in his system, and it was the kind that could hold six Hectoliter barrels.

Get a large barrel of gasoline from the system and put it on the ground, and ask the soldiers to buy more small pottery jars from nearby farms. Each jar contains four or five liters, and a total of 150 jars are installed.

At noon, let Polu, Wang Wu, and Kong He pull up all the soldiers here and walk towards Gucheng.

He was stationed at the gate of the east gate of Gucheng, looking at the city wall that was only three feet high, Zhu Changyuan smiled, pointed to the opposite gate and said to Wang Wu beside him: "See, the enemy army is two hundred steps away. Although the city gates are covered with iron sheets, they are of no use."

"I see, master!" Wang Wuyi was a little unaccustomed to his military uniform, pointing to the soldiers guarding the city opposite and said, "Those soldiers are not enough for me to kick with both feet. Why did the master attack the city? I asked me to kill them first." Good!" Wang Wu has been modified by Zhu Changyuan's skill book, although his skills are not as good as his master's, he can still jump up to the top of the wall with a single leap.

"Your method is too slow and dangerous. If the enemy has a large number of crossbowmen, it will be difficult for you to escape." Zhu Changyuan said here, looking at the full jar behind him, and said: "Polu, Konghe and others There is Wang Wu, take the altar in your hand, approach the city gate and throw it at the city gate for me."

"Yes!" The three of them led a few soldiers who were also in full body armor to push the cart to the city gate, picked up the jar on the cart, and threw it at the gate.

"Bang bang!" The jar flew over a distance of more than ten feet, and fell straight on the city gate, shattering instantly, and the gasoline in it flowed out naturally.

"bang bang"

"bang bang"

The three of them were having a great time falling.

"Shoot!" The soldiers on the gate tower of Gucheng were not vegetarians either. After seeing the three people within the shooting range, they organized a team of archers to shoot at the three people.

However, the three of them were covered from head to toe except for their hands. Naturally, they would not be afraid of the rain of arrows from the enemy at the top of the city. land.

"go!"

Polu waved his hand, and the three retreated.

When the three retreated safely not far from Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan said to the soldiers around him: "Bring a hard bow!" The soldiers behind immediately offered the hard bows they had prepared.

"Open" Zhu Changyuan took a bow and shot an arrow, pulling the hard bow into a full moon, but it seemed effortless.

"Light it up!" As soon as the words were spoken, a soldier lit the oil-soaked cotton cloth wrapped in the arrowhead with a lighter, and suddenly, a large cluster of flames burned on the arrowhead.

"Go!" Let go of the bowstring, and the rocket flew out like a meteor, flying towards the gate of Gucheng with flames.

Three seconds later, the skyrocketing fire burned downstairs of the city gate.

Although most of the city gates were covered with iron sheets, a small half was exposed after all, and the exposed small half was covered with gasoline. When the fire started, in less than 3 minutes, the wood that was not easy to burn was burning brightly. stand up.

"Hahahahaha." Zhu Changyuan looked at the big fire and laughed, and said: "The big thing is done!"

Li Xin next to him sighed, and said: "The general is really a man of gods. In this way, after the fire is extinguished, General Kong can lead the iron cavalry to rush into the city first, and the army will follow behind. Zhang Xianzhong will be captured by us."

. . .

"Fight the fire, put out the fire!"

Gucheng had water at the head of the city, but there was not so much water, and the water poured down from the top of the city could not reach the fire point. Therefore, although Zhang Xianzhong's troops were busy organizing firefighting, they did not Too much effect.

After 10 minutes, the fire gradually decreased.

After 10 minutes, the fire was extinguished and burned cleanly.

Under the gate tower of the city gate, there were only a few large pieces of burnt black and black iron sheets left. As for the wood, it was all turned into powder. At the same time, the east gate of Gucheng was opened.

"Brothers, listen to my orders and rush in with me." Zhu Changyuan reached out and raised the mace, swung it forward, and rushed into the city one by one.

Then came the two hundred cavalry who followed closely behind.

"kill!"

Zhu Changyuan's troops are like wolves and tigers.

The soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong in Gucheng were originally considered to be the best in the rebel army, but unfortunately they were repeatedly plundered by Zhu Changyuan's cavalry, and they were frightened long ago, how dare they fight.

Not to mention the soldiers, even Zhang Xianzhong himself and his generals ran away in fright when they heard that the city gate had been breached. Run away.

Once he heard that Zhu Changyuan had broken the city, he immediately ordered people to open the west gate, and after leaving 1 troops behind, he fled in a hurry with only [-] horses and ran towards Yunyang.

"Hold on, hold on to me, don't allow Zhu Changyuan's soldiers to follow." This was Zhang Xianzhong's order before he left, no, it was an order to Ainengqi before he fled.

Ainengqi led the remaining 2 people, and the main task was to stop Zhu Changyuan's cavalry and prevent them from pursuing.
