Chapter 305
On Ruzhou City, Liu Zhong, the rebel general of the Shun Army, would come to the city to stand for a while every day, paying attention to the movements of the Wei army outside the city.

It has been several days since Gao Yihuan's army arrived. In the past few days, the pieces of wood in the Wei army camp have gradually turned into siege machines, and there are towering trees in the camp.

The Hongyi cannons transported from Runing Cannon Workshop also arrived recently.

Looking at Gao Yihuan's posture, Liu Zhong couldn't help feeling a little guilty, which made him dare not take it lightly.

I have no choice but to feel guilty after doing something wrong.

When Liu Zhong thought of the picture of the mine, he always felt that one day his head would be beheaded and built into a landscape.

Under the pressure of the army approaching the city, the tower-like man can't eat or sleep well recently, and he has lost a lot of weight.

At this moment, he was standing on the city wall, a big hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, he turned his head and saw that it was Shen Zhixiang.

"General Liu, why are your eyes red?" Shen Zhixiang was startled when he saw Liu Zhong's eyes were red.

Liu Zhong said with a melancholy face: "Duke, this Gao Yihuan is really tough. You see, he has been preparing for many days, but he just doesn't attack the city. It's like drawing a bow but not firing it, and only using the arrow to aim at it. I am the same, let my spirit be tense, and I can't be stable for a moment."

After Shen Zhixiang heard this, his face was full of depression, and he patted Liu Zhong on the shoulder again, "General Liu, don't worry about when Gao Yihuan will attack the city, you just need to remember that you and Gao Yihuan have an inextricable hatred. Make up your mind, you have to defend the city, or the city is destroyed, you have no other way to go! You just need to remember this, and you can do your best when defending the city, and it is useless to think about other things~"

Liu Zhong naturally knew this, and he shuddered at the thought that he would fall into Gao Yihuan's hands.

Shen Zhixiang patted him on the shoulder, "General Liu, you can guard the city with peace of mind. With my three thousand athletes at the critical moment, the city will never be lost~"

A few miles away from the city, Gao Yihuan was leading a group of people, looking at the southern city of Ruzhou.

"Sun Chengcheng, come here and point out which section of the city wall it is?" Gao Yihuan glanced at the city, then turned his head and asked.

Sun Chengcheng brought a few miners, looked at the city wall and discussed for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "Commander, there are three tunnels in total, lined up side by side, and the positions are three feet, six feet and nine feet east of the south gate."

Gao Yihuan nodded, then looked at Chen Huiting and the other craftsmen, "Chen Qijian, are you sure?"

Chen Huiting looked at it, discussed for a while, and cupped his hands and said: "Commander, the craftsman said that if there is enough gunpowder, you can try it, but after all, they have never bombed before, and they can't guarantee that they can blow down the city wall."

What Gao Yihuan wanted was a one-shot deal, but he couldn't do it without a guarantee.

When Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, he bombed the city, but the method was wrong. He just dug a hole in the city wall without sealing it. In the end, he just set off fireworks, and nothing happened to the city wall.

Gao Yihuan didn't want to make jokes like Lao Li.

Right now, the distance between Gao Yihuan and Duoduo is less than two hundred miles, and both armies maintain a high degree of vigilance.

As soon as Gao Yihuan hit Ruzhou, Duoduo would know, and in a day or so, he would be able to feel Ruzhou.Even if Wang Deren stopped him, it wouldn't take much time.

If he wants to take Ruzhou, he must not give the defenders in the city time to ask for help.

This required him to attack the city in a very short time once he really started to attack the city, and after thinking about it, he had no choice but to blow up the city.

If he didn't blow up the city, he might not be able to take it down in a month or two as long as there is enough food and grass in the city to attack the city with his strength.

The Taiping army was able to blow up the city, but Gao Yihuan had no reason why he couldn't blow up the city. Moreover, there seemed to be no successful cases so far, which made the city bombing very sudden. Neither Shen Zhixiang nor Liu Zhong could have imagined that he would blow up the city.

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, and said sullenly, "I am [-]% sure about this matter! Do you have any other ways to improve your confidence?"

Chen Huiting showed embarrassment, and several people discussed for a while before saluting: "Marshal, I think there are two ways at the moment. One is to let me lead people, try to find a section of the city wall, and estimate how much explosives should be used. The cannon in red, first bombard the city wall to be bombed, and loosen the city wall, and it should be able to collapse in one blow."

Gao Yihuan frowned and nodded, "This is a good idea. First use cannons to loosen the soil, and then use gunpowder to blow it up suddenly. The defenders can't react at all."

"Okay!" Gao Yihuan exclaimed, "Chen Qijian, take the craftsmen to Jia County immediately, and try using the city wall of Jia County."

"Humble job, bring someone there!" Chen Huiting hurriedly saluted and accepted the order.

Gao Yihuan then ordered again: "Jin Xiangang, you set up the artillery and bombard the city. Li Jiyu, you lead 3000 troops, attack the city during the bombardment, and confuse the Qing army!"

Duoduo hoped that Gao Yihuan would attack Ruzhou, but he couldn't do it all the time. He had to act like he was attacking Ruzhou to confuse Duoduo.

Jin Xiangang, Li Jiyu and the others clasped their fists together, "I accept my orders from humble positions!"

This battle was no small matter. Gao Yihuan's 5000 men seemed a bit thin.

In order to deal with the Duoduo army, Gao Yihuan had to increase his troops, and he transferred two battalions of Jin Xiangang and Huang Bingzhong, leaving only 1 people to guard the house, and betting most of the family property in Ruzhou.

On the top of the city, Shen Zhixiang comforted Liu Zhong, thinking that there was still no movement outside the city today, so he prepared to go down to the city.

However, at this moment, he squinted at the outside of the city, and suddenly stopped in his steps.

He hurried back to the city wall and looked out, only to see crowds of people in the Ming army artillery formation outside the city, and thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp came out with various equipment.

At this time, there was a thumping sound of war drums outside the city, and Liu Zhong and Shen Zhixiang couldn't help but look at each other, "Gao Yihuan, the straight mother thief, is finally about to attack!"

Liu Zhong's eyes were red, his spirits lifted immediately, and he yelled nervously, "Gao Yihuan is going to attack the city! Give this general a boost!"

There was a hint of excitement in Shen Zhixiang's eyes. Standing by the city wall and looking out, he saw soldiers loading ammunition on the artillery formation of the Wei army, and two miles away from the city, more than [-] high-ranking soldiers were gathering with weapons.

At this time Liu Zhong walked to his side, "Duke, Gao Yihuan is finally going to attack me."

Just as Shen Zhixiang wanted to encourage him, there was a sudden "Boom! Boom! Boom!" from the artillery barrage outside the city, and a cloud of white smoke instantly filled the air.

"Mother, squat down!" The city head screamed, and there was a loud noise.

Two personal soldiers hurriedly squatted down to protect Shen Zhixiang, and everyone only heard a loud noise. A shell hit the top of the city, directly cutting off a wall. Rolling and howling.

After the first shot, Shen Zhixiang straightened up in shock. Seeing that the soldiers in the city were a little confused, he immediately shouted, "Don't panic! It's just a test shot!"

Just now, the cannon was not far away from him, maybe it was the artillery team under the city, and seeing him, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Gao Yihuan's cannon was so damn accurate, this city can't wait."

"General Liu, you only guard the city! I'll call someone to inform Lord Yu!" Shen Zhixiang said to Liu Zhong who was startled.

When Liu Zhong came to his senses and stretched out his hand to speak, he had already hurried down the city under the guidance of his personal guards, throwing Liu Zhong a back.
