Chapter 0230 God of War
After New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival is in a blink of an eye. It is the night of the Lantern Festival. From afar, the wall of Chao County has become wider and thicker. It is depressing and dull in the faint light of the water and sky farther away. The night of the celebration that should have been lit up, but now it was silent.
Zhuo Fan stood on the top of the slope, which was the location of Huang Degong's camp when he besieged Chao County last time.
Chao County is not far from Shenlong Mountain. The Shenlong army has long been hidden in Bantang Mountain and secretly transferred arms. At the same time, the fast horse between Liu Liang's troops and Hong Chengchou in the north shuttled day and night. Until today, the armies of the north and the south slowly suppressed within 20 miles, and Zhuo Bufan led the Shenlong army to come straight here. Visually at the forefront of Chao County.
The mobilization of the Dahua army naturally can't hide Zhang Xianzhong. Hong Chengchou's troops in the north have also fought several battles in recent days, removing several villages and towns outside Zhang Xianzhong. In one direction, hundreds of thousands of troops did not seek to destroy the enemy, but only sought no chaos. They did not annihilate any enemy army, but also strictly guarded the front. It is really A bird can't fly.
The peripheral troops of Zhang Xianzhong, who basically did not have major damage, have contracted back to Chao County in the past few days, and most of the people in Chao County have also run out. Zhang Xianzhong did not stop them much. The war is approaching, and it is useless to keep these people in the city. It can save some food by letting them go. At this time, Chao County has really become a military fortress, the west dock of Chao County. At this time, large and small ships are already dense, and some soldiers with bright knives and armor are quickly boarding the ship.
On the east slope outside the city, Zhuo Fan sat on the horse, touching his chin and looking at the wall not far away. Behind him, the horseshoe sounded, and the white ice rode the horse.
"General, our army is all in place. General Hong's headquarters on the northern line has entered ten miles, and General Liu's headquarters on the southern line has also been in place. However, Huang Degong has just passed half of the soup." Bai Bing reported loudly.
Zhuo Bufan nodded and looked at the finished dragon army in front of him. The cavalry of the three battalions are exactly divided into three pieces. The closest to them is the battalion. The ten dragon cannons of the gun battalion are hidden in the cavalry array, and the gun position is in place. At the same time, large boxes of materials are piled up behind each gun, most of which are shells. At the same time, each gun is equipped with three gun barrel. To the north are 20 cannons of the second battalion and artillery battalion, which are located in the northeast of the city wall of Chao County, far away from the firing range of the city head. At the same time, Zhuo extraordinary can still be seen. The three battalions and 20 cannons in the south were also arranged.
"Very good, the sound of Chaohu cannon is the order of attack, and then everything will start as planned." Zhuo Bufan said leisurely, "What the hell, this time Yinbao can't get enough to beat him to death."
Bai Bing showed excitement and whispered, "General, the other party has more than 100,000 troops. Do we really want to do it ourselves?" It's not too much for Bai Bing to worry so much. It's a wolf-like 100,000 chaotic militia horse. How long will it take to kill even if he doesn't fight back? Zhuo Fan also divided his troops into three pieces, scattered in the northeast, east and southeast like chess pieces. If the other party was desperate to attack, he was really not sure that he could withstand it.
Zhuo Fanfan smiled and said, "Naturally! Xiaobai, the days when we can't bear it are gone forever. Today is the day to show the world the power of my dragon army. Today, you will know what the god of war is. Today is the day when Zhang Xianzhong's ashes disappear, let's use him to sacrifice the flag of our Dragon Army.
Above the head of Chao County, Zhang Xianzhong was also looking to the east with his hands behind him. Behind him, more than a dozen officers gathered around him. On the wall, a large number of copper cannons and iron-wood cannons were already in place, sticking out to the head of the city like branches, which was dense and shocking.
"Well, these people dare to attack the city." Zhang Xianzhong sneered, and he had actually been watching here for a long time, but he still didn't see what the other party had done.
A staff-like scribe behind him came up and said charmingly, "Thousands of soldiers and horses still stand on three feet. This Zhuo Bufan is still a powerful general. Are you scared by the king's prestige? Maybe he wants to look like him and then turn to the king."
There was a burst of laughter around, flattery one after another, and the tension approaching the war relaxed because there was no deterrent in front of the poor soldiers and horses.
Zhang Xianzhong also smiled, but his face showed contempt, and this contempt was given to the current military division behind him. Good things are cherished only when they are lost. Zhang Xianzhong is neither a fool nor a reckless man. After Li Weisheng magically disappeared, he felt extremely sorry. If it weren't for Li Weisheng, I'm afraid he would still be hiding in the deep mountains. I don't know when he would be surrounded by the Dahua Army. Once he couldn't escape as lucky as before, he would have died. Until he inadvertently got the help of Li Weisheng, he quickly grew up, and now he has advanced into this rich Central Plains, becoming stronger and stronger. However, today, Zhang Xianzhong does not regret that he wants to kill Li Weisheng, but is a little annoyed that Li Weisheng can't judge the situation, pay attention to maintaining his authority, and regret that he has lost this help. Compared with Li Weisheng, these counselors around him are simply unsightly garbage.
In the past few days, the soldiers and horses have been found to be the extraordinary troops of the mighty generals. It was the guy who ran away after being beaten by himself a year ago. However, this person is also the person that Li Weisheng attaches great importance to. It is because of this extraordinary that he had a gap with Li Weisheng, which directly led to the later chaotic night. Dragonfish, hum, dragonfish comes out of Zhuge. Thinking of the six words on the gold medal found in the belly of the dragon fish, I was extremely annoyed. Li Weisheng, you are poor. I'm afraid you have starved to death. There is no place for you in the throne of the world.
extraordinary, dragonfish, emperor present, military division left. Suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong's heart thumped, his face changed greatly, and he stared at thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city again. Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and you can see far away in the cold field, but you can't see the people on the faraway slope.
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly turned around, looked at the west of the city and asked, "Have the eight battalions gone out?"
An officer beside him bowed and said, "It's time to return. He has begun to start. At this time, he should have left the dock."
At this time, a large number of soldiers have boarded the ship. Hundreds of large and small wooden boats have been anchored and hung sails. The winter wind is small, and many soldiers have fucked the wood pulp and rowed neatly.
Suddenly, a few fires flashed on the far away lake, and then several roars came in the faint roar of the distance. Several wooden boats suddenly flashed and turned into scattered wood chips. The huge explosive force even overturned several small boats around them. In a huge splash of water, nothing Several sawdust and limbs spilled one after another and dyed the water red. Several slightly larger wooden boats that had not been overturned next to them came heartbreaking screams. On those boats, the boat gangs had become mottled and incomplete, and there were countless holes in the sails. Several soldiers were stained with blood and staggered into the water, covered with blood.
There was another flash in the distance. This time, the flash continued, with only a few breaths. The roar of death in the air came one after another, and the fleet that had not yet dispersed suddenly fell into a sea of anger. In the huge explosion, there were columns of water rising from time to time, and more were the explosive firelight of the wooden boat being directly hit. The exploding column of water and flames quickly ploughed from south to north like eyes. In such a short time, the boats in the small fleet turned into torches, and some small boats were quickly silent, leaving only the masts protruding out of the water. In the water, the bodies floated, and some soldiers were struggling. Puffing. The soldiers on the ship were all elite of Zhang Xianzhong's troops, armor knives and guns, and now they have become impermanent shackles.
Several smaller boats on the periphery escaped this round of bombardment and rowed desperately to rush to the lake. Suddenly, a long rope was pulled out of the rope in the water, and at the same time pulled off several black objects hanging under the water on the side of the ship.
"Boom~~~", there was no roaring this time. Huge splashes rose one after another on the side of the ships, and the lake poured in from the sudden big hole. Soon, these ships sank to the bottom of the lake faster than those burning boats.
The firelight in the distance only stopped for a while, and suddenly shone again. This time, there were a lot of desperate shouts in the fleet surrounded by sunken ships and flames.
At the head of the city, Zhang Xianzhong's face was earthy, and his clenched fists trembled slightly. The hellish scene of the dock in the west of the city made everyone fall into dementia. A trace of heat and faint fierce shouts brought by the lake wind made people sweat, and they could not feel the cold of the winter night at all.
Zhang Xianzhong's heart was like an ice cave at this moment. Suddenly, he turned around and stared at the thousands of soldiers outside the city.
As if rewarding his intuition, the three soldiers and horses outside the city moved and dispersed slightly to both sides, and then a flash appeared in the middle.
In the roar of cannons, whistling came one after another. Suddenly, there was a loud noise at the head of the city dozens of steps away. Countless gravel and smoke shrouded in an instant. Several counselors fell to the ground with a scream. Zhang Xianzhong's personal guard reacted very quickly and rushed up to protect the gray-faced Zhang Xianzhong and grabbed the head of the city, but there were obstacles. They were all cut off the wall with a knife.
Fires came one after another on the head of the city. In the huge explosion, the remnants, gravel and cannons thrown like toys fell one after another, as if the end was coming. The remaining soldiers at the head of the city lit the only artillery or even earth cannon that could fight back, but less than half of the distance between projectiles and solid shells had fallen into the empty field. The flashes in the distance flashed in an orderly manner, sending the roar of death to the city step by step. Some whistlings did not hit the head of the city and flew into the city, bringing greater destruction and killing. The dense army in the city does not need to aim at all, and each explosion can always bring screams and limbs. The hit house quickly ignited flames and spread along the street.
