Chapter 824 The Siege of the Wise

Until dawn, Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses did not launch another siege of the city. In the morning, Wan Rui really sent people to open the south city gate. More than 20 loud cavalry rushed out of the city and came to the front of the officers and soldiers' camp to curse and insult them hundreds of steps. They scolded Wang Shouren's ancestors for 18 generations and returned the name of the turtle.

Although the officers and soldiers spit blood angrily, they had nothing they could do in the face of provocation. Once they launched a chase, the group fled as quickly as rabbits. When they entered the fire range of the Folang machine gun, there was an immediate roar on the top of the city. The shells roared, and dust flew on the ground, and soldiers were immediately injured.

Wang Shouren sat in the tent with a gloomy face, and the generals sat down with anger. From last night to now, they have not come up with a good plan to attack the city. Now that they are so humiliated by the other party, even Wang Shouren, who has a deep self-restrained, has a fire in his heart, not to mention his subordinate Wang Mian and other generals.

"Your Excellency, we can't watch it. Otherwise, the humble position leads 10,000 people to attack. The inferior position does not believe in this evil. We can't fight for it, and we can't let them be so arrogant." Wang Mian clenched his fist.

"Yes, my lord, the last general and others also asked to go to war. It's not a way to go on like this, and my lungs are also angry. Listen, these turtle grandchildren are shouting outside the camp again. Your Excellency, you can stand it. I can't stand it. The generals shouted one after another.

Wang Shouren frowned and waved his hand and said, "The two armies are most impetuous. Yesterday, you sent people to humiliate each other, and today they are still colored. What's the point of saying? A few unpleasant words make you so angry. How can you keep calm and capture the city? The southeast and west cities have made tentative attacks, and the enemy forts come and go freely on the wall, which shows that it is unlikely to attack from either side. Knowing that their artillery was powerful, he asked his brothers to die. I, Wang Shouren, can't and can't use this method of fighting.

"But my lord, we can't watch it. Zhu Chenhao's main soldiers and horses have left the mouth of Poyang Lake. It can be seen that they have turned to war elsewhere and didn't pay attention to us when they attacked Nanchang at all. We are really helpless. Isn't this making people laugh? If adults feel that they are not sure about capturing Nanchang Prefecture, let's simply raise ships to take soldiers and horses to chase Zhu Chenhao's main rebel force. Maybe it can still have some effect, and it's not a way to stay here. Wang Mian spread out his hand.

Wang Shouren scolded with a deep face, "Sht up, if Zhu Chenhao is not worried about the safety of Nanchang, why did he come back to help? The reason why they turned around and left was not to despise us for not being able to capture Nanchang City. According to my estimation, it must be the Duke of Zhen who led the imperial army to approach. If they dare to stay in Jiangxi again, after the imperial army crossed the Yangtze River and captured Jiu Jiangnan Kang, they would be trapped here. The current situation is that the imperial army will follow Zhu Chenhao's main force to seek battle, and we must also make a difference, because we have not delayed the main force of the rebel army. The idea of chasing the main force of the rebels is stupid. Once there is a shortage of soldiers and ships, is it possible to chase them on a raft? Second, our troops are not enough to fight against Zhu Chenhao at all. Don't do a good job of hitting stones with eggs.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, Lord Wang, won't our 30,000 soldiers become the ears of the deaf? The battle against rebellion was the first launched by us. Now it's good. Looking at the battle of the army sent by the imperial court, we have nothing to do.

Wang Shouren shook his head and said, "General Wang, I can understand your mood. You are worried that you will not get credit for this rebellion. Don't worry, even if you don't fight with Zhu Chenhao's main force, as long as you take Nanchang City, it will still be a great achievement. Because after taking this place, he turned around to eliminate the rebel forces of Jiangxi provincial governments, so that Zhu Chenhao had no way back, which would make a great contribution to the overall situation. Duke Zhen knew this.

Wang Mian didn't say anything about the central thought, and his face was a little embarrassed. He coughed and said, "But the problem is that we can't do anything about this city."

Wang Shouren said, "I have figured out that it is really not a solution to launch a siege tonight. The old man thought that although the enemy's artillery was fierce, it was not without weaknesses. At night, his eyesight was unknown, and it was the best time to attack. I think so. After dark today, 5,000 soldiers and horses were sent on each of the east and west walls to attack. More pine torches caused the illusion of a strong attack on both sides of me. The grass man stood under the wall, so that the artillery and troops on the south wall were scattered on the east and west wall to reduce the enemy's frontal firepower. Wang Mian, you led 10,000 soldiers and horses to quietly approach the south wall when they attacked the city on both sides, asking the soldiers to cover up their bodies and avoid the ears of the city. After nearly 300 steps away, they launched a fierce attack and rushed to the city to attack the city in one fell swoop. I led 10,000 soldiers and horses to respond. When you attacked under the wall, I personally led the soldiers and horses to launch a second charge. I don't know what you think?"

Everyone was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that adults have already figured out a strategy to attack the city and taught us how to bear the heart for a long time. It's so good. I'll go to prepare the torch and grass man immediately and wait for the evening to take down Nanchang in one stroke."

Wang Shouren sighed and said, "You don't know anything. I've already figured out a plan. I'm just worried that even if I can attack the bottom of the city, it will be difficult to attack the wall. The wall of Nanchang Mansion is high, and the sandbag fortifications have been built by the rebels. Their bows and arrows are sufficient, and there are many firearms, even if we transfer the tiger away from the mountain to divide the two On the side, we still have to suffer a big loss. But you are right. We can't do nothing here. The Duke of Zhen led the main force of the court to fight against the main force of the rebels. We have to immediately eliminate the whole territory of Jiangxi and then fight with the army. So in any case, if we don't attack, we will do our best to take the city tonight. The old man's ugly words are ahead. If the siege battle starts, I will never tolerate it if anyone dares to fight and not obey the order.

......

At the beginning of the night, dense torches suddenly lit up outside the east and west walls of Nanchang. Under the reflection of the torches, countless soldiers and horses shouted loudly and rushed to the walls on both sides. After receiving the report, Wan Rui quickly reacted and ordered 15 artillery pieces to reinforce the east and west wall. The gunners pushed the Folang machine and mother cannons equipped with the hoops and quickly put them in place. After a while, the roar of the artillery covered the shouting of the charge.

Wan Rui is very disdainful of officers and soldiers. The soldiers and horses who occupy the numerical advantage often adopt the strategy of attacking at the same time on all sides. The purpose is to effectively use the strength and disperse the limited defense force. A breakthrough will be completely broken. However, Wang Shouren also wanted to do so, which was obviously not feasible. Not to mention that there were only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the siege, there were 15,000 defenders in the city. After his 30,000 troops were divided, he did not exert several times of pressure, but scattered his own strength. Besides, what is the attack on both sides? It is neither attacking on four sides at the same time, nor is it a dispersion of the strength of the defenders. The whole is a nondescript four.

At first, Wan Rui was still afraid of Wang Shouren. Although he didn't care about the appearance, he was careful and meticulous in defense. Now, Wan Rui's view of Wang Shouren has plummeted. He can almost conclude that Wang Shouren is a bastard who leads the army to war. .

The artillery is powerful. What's more ridiculous is that the officers and soldiers still charge with torches, as if they are afraid that the gunners can't aim at it. Although there are only 15 cannons, almost every cannon bombed into the crowd, and the bombed humanoid things flew into the air. The gunners' excited eyes glowed with a blue and faint light. The court soldiers and horses seemed to be stupid and did not move much. They were more scared and let them wantonly bomber into their crowd. Some soldiers even caught fire and stood still in a dumbfoundedly.

Soon, the defenders found that something was wrong. Although there were soldiers and horses all over the city, they did not move, and the shouts all day were obviously far away. Carefully identified that the sound of killing was actually in the dark area in the distance, rather than the sound of the soldiers and horses entering the range. The sharp-eyed soldiers soon found that these motionless soldiers would catch fire in the air after being bombarded, turned into a blazing fire when they fell to the ground, and then turned into ashes after a moment, which was too strange.

"That's not right. These don't seem to be real people, but like scarecrows." The soldiers discussed.

The news quickly reported to Wan Rui, who was standing on the Dongcheng Tower to supervise the battle, ordered to stop fighting. The cannon narrowed its head and carefully identified it with many soldiers on the tower. Sure enough, after a long time, the soldiers and horses on the ground did not move at all and did not take a step forward at all, and the shouts in the rear were wave after wave, and the appearance of desperate rushing to kill seemed extremely uncoordinate.

"Fuck, this is a homicide." Wan Rui scolded: "What the hell is Wang Shouren playing?"

As soon as Wan Rui's scolding fell, there was a sudden shocking shout outside the Nancheng Gate. Wan Rui's body was shocked and shouted, "No, they mainly attacked Nancheng Gate, and I was fooled."
