Chapter 357 Attack on Ying Tianfu

In the wave of the uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were many teams of uprisings who vigorously rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty. They also fought with each other. Among them were the deliberate provocation of theft of the world and the helplessness of the heroes without regret. There can be many teams to fight the world. There can be only one person in the world. The more When you are about to succeed, the more likely it is for these situations to occur.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Yang doesn't want to conflict with Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. He just wants to develop his Jiangnan and Jiangbei Province at ease, so that the people here can live and work in peace and work, and make his team strong again.

However, the malicious behavior of the neighbor in the west finally made Zhang Yang make up his mind. It doesn't matter what kind of Ming Taizu you are. Since you are here, Zhu Yuanzhang, you have to stand aside!

Then Xie Zaixing's surrender, Zhang Yang formulated a strategy of two birds with one stone, asking Xie Zaixing to take the lead in attacking Ying Tianfu.

In troubled times, there are naturally laws in troubled times. If you practice benevolence under your own rule and are full of malicious enemies, you must not be merciful.

Xie Zaixing surrendered! This incident shocked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Who is Xie Zaixing? It is his nephew Zhu Wenzheng's father-in-law and his relative. A person can tolerate betrayal, but if even his relatives betray him, this is definitely a bad signal!

Xie Zaixing, why did you betray yourself?

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that when he made his own decision and asked Xie Zaixing's eldest daughter to marry his nephew, although Xie Zaixing agreed on the surface, his eyes were very difficult to think about.

Let his daughter marry his nephew, that's a compliment to him. Unexpectedly, he would rebel?

Thinking again that he was going to marry his second daughter to Xu Da, Xu Da was the number one general under him. In this way, the two sides should have a very close relationship. In this era, joint marriage is a very powerful measure. Unexpectedly, Xie Zaixing was dissatisfied.

"Brother, I found it out." Feng Guosheng came in and said, "It turns out that Xie Zaixing has been secretly communicating with Zhang Shicheng."

Xie Zaixing, who seems to have no scheming, has been dealings with Zhang Shicheng all the time? Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe that he still sees the wrong person?

"Where is the evidence?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Xie Zaixing has been doing business with Zhang Shicheng. We have found several big merchants in Yingtianfu are all behind Xie Zaixing. The goods he sold during the Spring Festival are all from Hangzhou. If it weren't for Zhang Shicheng, how could it be possible? Although Xie Zaixing escaped, the things found from his home were worth thousands of taels of silver. Where did he get so much money? It must have been given by Zhang Shicheng. Feng Guosheng gritted his teeth and said, "If I see him, I have to kill him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally knew that he still underestimated Xie Zaixing and his greed. He was not rich in the first place. He had to raise money to make military salaries, build weapons, and treat the generals. The treatment of his subordinates must have begun to use his authority to enrich his pockets.

This is a dangerous signal. It's no problem to follow your old subordinates. What about those new members? Isn't war just for money and power?

The biggest headache for Zhu Yuanzhang is that he has received the news that Xu Da has failed.

Xu Da, who fought countless battles and had never lost a battle, was defeated. He was defeated by Zhang Shicheng's unknown Chang Yuchun. He was defeated so miserably that two thousand elite soldiers ran back to less than 200 people. They were all scared and stayed in Chuzhou.

Originally, this was Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest move. With Zhang Shicheng's advanced fire, Zhu Yuanzhang had enough confidence and ability to unify the Central Plains. However, his dream was broken with Xu Da's failure.

Zhu Yuanzhang transferred back the two armies to attack other places. Now, the most important thing is to guard Yingtianfu. These two armies can return to Yingtianfu in five days at most. At that time, Yingtianfu will be safe.

The wall, which was blown up by Tang He, was being repaired nervously. When he mentioned Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry. Obviously, he was young with himself. When he walked this road, he was brought by Tang He, but now, he turned against each other!

Xie Zaixing must not be let go. Zhu Yuanzhang is thinking about how to kill Xie Zaixing to preserve his majesty.

"Boom, boom!" Suddenly, there was a fierce sound of cannons outside.

What's going on? Zhu Yuanzhang looked out.

A sound of cutting through the air came, and Zhu Yuanzhang's pupil suddenly contracted, and a shell flew straight to the office of Yingtianfu.

Is it Zhang Shicheng's army coming? He came so fast! This is the last thought that came to Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Then, he felt that the roof behind him stepped down, and a heavy object hit his head. His eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

A shell of the deflected God of War cannon flew into the office of Yingtianfu. With an incredible probability, it hit the house behind Zhu Yuanzhang. The roof collapsed, and a tile hit Zhu Yuanzhang's head.

"Big brother, big brother!" Feng Guosheng shouted in panic.

Do it as soon as you say. Zhang Yang will never drag it. Xie Zaixing's 10,000 soldiers and horses are in front, his base camp and Xu Yi's seventh battalion are behind. Bian Yuanheng's water army walked the waterway and marched to Yingtianfu together.

Xie Zaixing wants to fight against the water? There is no door. Zhang Yang's men are all cavalry, and they are almost equipped with Tianque. If Xie Zaixing wants to play some tricks, he will only find his own death. Zhang Yang estimated that he is not so stupid. Besides, his daughter Xie Ran has entered his house to chat with his mother Cao at her own hint.

However, Zhang Yang is definitely not to let Xie Zaixing be cannon fodder. He has his own strong force as a backup. Even if Xie Zaixing suffered losses when he attacked the city, the loss would never be too big. In this way, with the blood of Zhu Yuanzhang's men in his hand, he wanted to fight back, but there was no door.

I don't know when the young man who used to be full of all kinds of beautiful ideals has long disappeared. He is calculating and calculating. Is he already the hero or a hero?

Zhang Yang doesn't know. Zhang Yang only knows that if he wants to survive here, this is what he must do. He can only go forward and not retreat. This is also a road of no return.

Xie Zaixing is a little excited. He is already Zhang Shicheng's army, Zhang Shicheng's army, and his military achievements are very rich. After this battle, I'm afraid that everyone will lose at least five taels of silver. These soldiers who follow him will definitely cheer for his right choice!

Zhang Yang's tactics for Xie Zaixing are very simple: his own artillery is responsible for blasting the wall of Yingtianfu and suppressing the long-range weapons of the soldiers defending the city, while Xie Zaixing's 10,000 horses will swarm into Yingtianfu from the bombed wall and control key departments such as government office and treasury. Door, then, wait for your own people and receive Ying Tianfu. However, I would like to reiterate that we must not kill innocent people, and there should be no looting and other acts of military law, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

Although Tang He bombarded Ying Tianfu and broke down a section of the city wall, the city wall was close to the Yangtze River, so although he stepped on it, it was very difficult to attack the army from that place.

So, Zhang Yang chose the eastern wall.

Of course, the God of War cannon is the most powerful when shelling the city wall. However, in this way, the God of War cannon becomes almost parallel shooting, and it is very difficult to aim. Therefore, a few shells are far away from the target and fly to Yingtianfu City. One of them happened to hit Zhu Yuanzhang.

This only shows that... Zhu Yuanzhang's character is really bad! Even God can't see it.

Because there are all waters that need to be defended, this time, Bian Yuanheng's navy only reached ten steam engine ships. However, nearly a hundred Ares artillery bombardment is also earth-shaking.

The God of War cannon is carried by the warship. Zhu Yuanzhang's main force uses easy-to-carry scatter cannons. They aim at the defenders at the head of the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang's army at the top of the city is also equipped with a lot of firearms, so they and Zhang Yang's army shoot at it, but it is obviously not an order of magnitude.

Zhu Yuanzhang's army is equipped with birds. Although the barrel is long, it is not very powerful. It still ignites with a fire rope. It is very troublesome to shoot.

There are also cannons, which are very primitive mortars. The barrel is thick, the gun body is short, stuffed with gunpowder, filled with stones, and ignite the twists. Then, with a bang, only God knows where the stones can fly.

Suddenly, on the east wall, the battle was fierce, all kinds of fire, artillery, shooting together, and the first battle of firearms in the Central Plains was going on.

"Scattered fireworks, ready to shoot." Zhang Yang looked at the other army at the head of the city and finally made up his mind. As soon as the fireworks opened, it was the rain of death.

The defenders at the head of the city, under the command of Hua Yun, are struggling to resist.

Here, they sacrificed countless soldiers to fight down. They must protect this place from the encroachment of others!

Suddenly, a guard hurried up and whispered to Hua Yun, "Report, something happened to the eldest brother."

Hua Yun turned pale: "What are you talking about?"

"The eldest brother was in the government office and was hit by the other party's gunfire. He just hit a piece of tile on his head. Now he is unconscious."

"You must guard the wall and don't let each other come up. Which one is lost, and which one is taken back for me. After saying that, Hua Yun hurried down the city wall.

As soon as I got off the wall, I heard screams on the wall.

He turned around and saw that on the wall, there was already a Shura hell, full of limbs and broken arms, and people on the verge of death groaned in pain.

He narrowly escaped!

"Wrap!" At this moment, the city wall finally couldn't stand the huge impact and collapsed a large part.

In the distance, I saw a soldier in his own rebel costume and rushed up.

Thank you again! You are a traitor! Although Hua Yun was brave, he also knew that Ying Tianfu could not be saved. How many people were not enough to kill such a big killer!
