Chapter 110 The General

Zuo Liangyu held the mouth of the wall in his hand and looked down to look out of the city. Looking at the continuous Xingtian Army camp and the various battle flags of the Xingtian Army like a forest, he was frightened. Originally, Zuo Liangyu thought that he was the hero of the world. He was a soldier in Liaodong since he was a child, and now he has mixed into the position of the flat thief general of the court. Up, he pulled up more than 100,000 horses under his command, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future. Although he did not have the idea of winning the world, he still had the idea of separatling one side and becoming a big warlord.

However, he was unlucky to meet this Xing Tianjun. In the past few years, he and Xing Tianjun have fought repeatedly, but he has lost more and won less. In the past, he was looking for trouble for Xing Tianjun, but now he is beaten by Xing Tianjun and has to retreat to Jingzhou, but Xing Tianjun is still chasing him like a tarded maggot.

Now he really regrets going to Nanyang at the beginning of the year. If he didn't listen to the witches of the court at that time and didn't go to Nanyang, he may not be annoyed with Xiao Xingtian. I guess Xiao Xingtian would not hate him so much and forced him to die at the door of his house.

Looking at the high poles standing under the city, hanging on the heads of his old department. These people can be said to be his subordinates who killed Nanyang Mansion more than half a year ago. Nowadays, although many people have surrendered to Xing Tianjun, they are still pushed out and cut off their heads. He knows what Xiao Xingtian hates for him. Degree, so he knew that as long as he fell into Xiao Xingtian's hands, there was absolutely no reason to be spared.

Seeing that Xing Tianjun began to arrange the siege of the city outside the city, Zuo Liangyu also gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to defend Jingzhou City. He did not believe it and could not stop Xing Tianjun from attacking the city. In his opinion, through his looting around Jingzhou during this period, there is now a lot of grain reserves in the city, and the military salary is quite sufficient, as long as it is After living for a month, Xing Tianjun will definitely not be able to hold on. He will retreat and withdraw to Xiangyang.

So his goal is not too big. As long as he survives this month, he can get through the crisis.

For this reason, Zuo Liangyu personally sat at the head of the town and said to his subordinates, "As long as anyone dares to take a step back, I will kill him immediately!" At the same time, he sent knives and axes to block the foot of the city wall, pulled out a bright blade, and prepared a large number of bows and arrows to supervise the battle.

When the defenders saw that Zuo Liangyu was fierce, they had no choice but to go to the city and defend it. However, the heavy artillery of the Xing Tianjun immediately gave them a blow. Several 24-pound gun racks were two miles away from the city and aimed at the head of the city. Before Zuo Liangyu sat on the head of the city for a moment, a shell was bombarded behind him. On the gate tower, the gate tower swayed and the bricks and stones flew randomly. He almost killed Zuo Liangyu on the gate tower on the spot. He was so scared that Zuo Liangyu immediately escaped from the city wall under the protection of his own soldiers and stayed at the foot of the city wall to continue to supervise the battle.

But then Jingzhou City fell into a hellish nightmare. A large number of heavy artillery of the Xingtian Army also began to fire. Even some three-pound light guns began to approach the north of the city and opened fire on the city wall. Almost every moment, shells fell on the wall, making the bricks and stones on the wall fly randomly. Although Jingzhou City is also a Jiancheng, but after all, it is still a rammed wall with earth and bricks. It can't withstand such a fierce artillery bombardment like the Xing Tianjun. What's more, the defenders in the city are also flesh and blood, and it is impossible to withstand such a bombardment. Many officers and soldiers, even if they are bombarded, their internal organs and broken arms are flying everywhere, and more officers and soldiers are He was injured by broken masonry and lay on the wall and whined.

Zuo Liangyu also prepared a lot of Fran machine guns and various bowls, tiger squat guns, and even a few slightly lighter red cannons in the city. However, except for those red cannons, the rest of the cannons basically can't reach the heavy artillery array of Xing Tianjun, Xing Tianjun. The cannon was far away, and they could only lie down and be beaten.

By this time, the advantages of firepower have been fully demonstrated. Xiao Tianjian has attached great importance to the construction of artillery for a long time. At present, there are all kinds of artillery in the army. In addition to the self-produced three-pound, six-pound and eight-pound field guns, the cannons in Henan and Jinnan have begun to be cast. Although the output of the large-caliber 12-pound heavy artillery is not high and many cannons can't be cast in a year, these cannons have been used by Xiao Tianjian, only for attack. In addition, several 24-pound heavy Hongyi cannons of the Guanning Army have been captured from Hebei. Xiao Tianjian basically brought these heavy cannons south this time. Come on, although each of these heavy guns weighs thousands of pounds, causing a lot of trouble for the Xingtian Army to transport them, it is undeniable that they are so powerful and the deterrent to the enemy. When fighting Xiangyang, they play an important role, and when fighting Chengtianfu, they also play an important role. Nowadays, playing Jingzhou shows their power.

When the Zuo Liangyu's Hongyi cannons on the city wall began, they fired back several times, but these Hongyi guns immediately became the focus of attention by the Xingtian Army gunners and concentrated their fire on them. It didn't take long for them to be long for these Hongyi guns to be bombarded, and the gunners were also killed and injured. End.

As for those lighter flan cannons, general cannons, cannons, bowls and tiger squat guns, although the cannons are fired back, they either can't reach the heavy artillery positions of the Xing Tianjun, or they are not accurate. Under the suppression of the cannon fire of the Xing Tianjun, these guns have been destroyed one after another, or the gunners have been beaten. He hugged his head and couldn't shoot against Xing Tianjun.

Xiao Tianjian stopped on a Yuanshukuo car and observed the battle situation on the city wall from afar with binoculars. When he saw the officers and soldiers all over the city wall, Xiao Tianjian smiled. After so many years of hard work, he finally saw the results. Now the artillery of the Xing Tianjun can be said to be in the original land. There is really no opponent, especially the heavy artillery above the eight-pound gun attack, which can be said to be extremely sharp. When shooting close, the accuracy is very high. With the operating system designed by him himself, the aiming operation is very simple. In addition to the aiming method promoted by the Xingtian Army artillery, even if it is a long-range shooting, the accuracy is quite accurate. It's satisfactory. Looking at the stacks on the wall and the stacks being hit and collapsed by shells, and the artillery of Zuo Liangyu officers and soldiers on the wall were overturned, Xiao Tianjian's heart can be said to have a sense of achievement.

At this time, Li Xin climbed into the Yuanshu car and said to Xiao Tianjian, "My lord! The detailed work sent to Zuo Liangyu Water Camp has returned! Would you like to meet me?"

Xiao Tianjian immediately put down the telescope and smiled, "Look, our artillery is awesome!" Zuo Liangyu's men were holding their heads and couldn't raise their heads at all! It seems that it is only a matter of time to capture Jingzhou City. It is estimated that by tomorrow, basically no one in the city dares to go there! At that time, we will launch a siege, and we will definitely be able to defeat it in a war! Ha ha! Let's go and talk about it later!"

When Xiao Tianjian returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, a middle-aged man in a tattered people's clothes stood in the big tent. As soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian, he immediately knelt down and said, "The handsome man, the little one is lucky not to humiliate his life. He has done the thing handed over by the big man to the small!"

Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said, "Liu Jiang, get up and talk!" Our Xing Tianjun doesn't like your etiquette! In the future, you will also be a member of Xing Tianjun. Just see him with military salute! Talk about it! How's it going?"

This middle-aged man quickly stood up. His name was Liu Jiang. He was originally a fisherman in Jingzhou, but he was bold and kind. He usually likes to make friends. He is a well-known hero on the river in Jingzhou, and his family has been fishermen on the Yangtze River for generations, each of whom has A good hand, and it goes without saying that water is water. It is said that you can shut down in the water for half a day. Of course, Xiao Tianjian doesn't believe this. At most, in his opinion, it is super strong that they can shut down in the water for more than five minutes. As for rumors, it is not credible.

Over the years, although Liu Jiang has been a fisherman, he often fights about unevenness. He even secretly pulls up a group of men and specializes in killing and crossing goods on the river. Their main targets are mostly officials and some unscrupulous merchants and gentry merchant ships. They also grab money and food. The poor people on both sides of the Yangtze River are often well-known in Jingzhou.

After Zuo Liangyu occupied Jingzhou, in the big rope area of Jingzhou, a large number of fishermen were caught in the army and became his water army. Naturally, Liu Jiang was not spared. He was caught to work in Zuo Liangyu's army. Because of his fame and excellent kung fu on the water, he was quite liked by Zuo Liangyu, which made him a water camp. Some time ago, he sent him to Liu Guoneng to guard Chengtianfu, but Liu Jiang hated Zuo Liangyu's behavior and felt that Zuo Liangyu was a scourge. If he kept him, the people around him would be difficult to live, so when he was unprepared, he took dozens of his men to join the Xing Tianjun and temporarily worked under Yang Kunshan. After Xiao Tianjian learned that this person was a hero, he immediately promoted him to the deputy general of the water camp. After watching Xing Tianjun's faction, Liu Jiang felt that Xiao Tianjian was a good master and knew that he was sympathetic to the people and the rumors, so he followed Xiao Tianjian with his heart.

This time the army was sent to Jingzhou. Liu Jiang volunteered to say that in Zuo Liangyu's water army, there were many people who were his former friends, and even many people were his former subordinates. Now several of his cousins are also in Zuo Liangyu's water army, some of whom are generals and some of the general flags. They all lead some soldiers and control some The boat, so he was sure to lobby them and let them secretly turn to Xing Tianjun. After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian was immediately overjoyed and gave him some gold to do it.
