The Ming army began to attack the city.

Guan Ying didn't just perform for the sake of performance, he did do a lot of things before the war, one of the important ones was to learn the management methods of mercenaries, recruited many strong prisoners into the army, and then managed the big fish and meat, and claimed that whoever could make great contributions in the next battle could be rewarded with silver and meat and even official positions.

This is also Guan Ying's unconventional move. Supposedly, a guilty person does not even receive the status of a good citizen. But in order to make great contributions, he actually promised an official position and a glory, just from this point of view, he really made a certain amount of money.

Let's not talk about the official position, just say that before going to the battlefield, let those soldiers who besieged the city have a full meal, and the meat is enough to make many people grateful.

The ancients also paid attention to being a full ghost before they died, and legend has it that if they went to the underworld in this way, they would not suffer too much sin. Now that they are really full of food and drink, as far as some people are concerned, there is no regret anymore, so they are used to attack the city, it is indeed amazing, just the first wave of siege, it actually made them rush to the tower of Wuzhou City, if it was not for Zhu Fangyong to lead people to arrive in time, I am afraid that this wave of attacks may break the city.

Facts have proved that as long as the right method is used, the military spirit is available, and the prisoners of the former Yellow Bandit Army who were withdrawn from the siege team were called to the camp playground one by one, and the good wine and meat were in charge, and the excited General Guan Ying was brewing the siege plan for the next day.

Outside the camp, some rich gentry from the original Wuzhou Mansion brought good wine and meat to labor the army. For them, there are too many real estate still in the city, and the sooner they take the city, the sooner they can get back what belongs to them, and the sooner they can return to the life of a human being.

In the mercenary barracks, it was very quiet, and the soldiers did not see any movement other than normal training. In the big tent, it is indeed far from being as calm as it seems from the outside, Commander Luo Po and Commander Lu Zhuo and others are here listening to the battle report in front of them, listening to the latest orders of the sixth young master.

Everyone in the big tent, listen carefully to the scouts sent to report the scene of today's siege, when it comes to the Ming army actively attacking the city, the first wave of attacks rushed to the city tower without defense, and almost captured Wuzhou City, everyone was surprised. When did the Ming army also have such a strong combat power? In their eyes, the Ming army is just a soft-footed shrimp, bullying and bullying ordinary people, and when they really face those bandits, they are afraid that they will show their greed for life and fear of death.

"They weren't really Ming soldiers, but they were picked out of the rest of the captives we had picked up. Guan Ying followed our example, and after managing them for a few full meals, he promised that he could be promoted and make a fortune after the siege of the city. When Yang Chendong saw that everyone was talking below, all of them looked incredible, he told the real reason.

After saying this, Yang Chendong's eyes swept over the crowd and continued: "Facts have proved that arrogance is bound to make mistakes. Fortunately, this time the Ming army is dealing with the Yellow Bandit Army, what if it is aimed at us? Will we suffer under arrogance? ”

Facing Yang Chendong's question, the officers first looked at each other, and then Lu Zhuo, the commander of the auxiliary corps, stood up and said: "Sixth Young Master, we have the most advanced musket in the world, even if they come, we will not be afraid of them, and we will definitely eliminate them all." ”

"Yes, yes." The other officers nodded their heads as well, apparently agreeing with this view.

Yang Chendong, who was sitting at the top, saw that the officers were still full of confidence, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Yes! We have the most advanced firearms in the world, this is our advantage, it may also be our only advantage, maybe once there are no weapons, we will be no different from the Ming army, if we are heavily surrounded, how many bullets can you bring, there will be a day when the fight is over, then will not be wrapped in dumplings, to be wiped out? ”

"Ahh At this moment, the faces of the officers were dumbfounded, and they suddenly realized that they originally thought they were invincible divisions, but from this analysis, it seems that this is not the case.

"Therefore, we are not strong enough, to become the strongest army in the world, it is not enough to have advanced weapons, we also need to have a strong heart and fighting spirit, the kind of strong heart and momentum that will not be afraid of any enemy we encounter, and will not take a step back. From now on, the training will be doubled, in addition to muskets, everyone must also seriously train in the use of cold weapons and the three-three system of combined combat methods, in short, there is one thing, that is, at any time, even if our soldiers are only bare-handed, they are also having the confidence and certainty to be able to win in the face of all enemies. Yang Chendong suddenly stood up and said in an extremely sharp voice.

"Yes." All the officers below stood up. The sixth young master pointed out everyone's shortcomings, then it is necessary to correct them, this is not just as simple as obeying orders, at a critical time, a well-trained army will save their own lives.

After having a unified order, the barracks began to get busy, the first guard squad in addition to leaving the necessary personnel on duty, the others went down to each squad and platoon to guide the soldiers in hand-to-hand combat tactics, such as Hu Mang, Qiu Wu, Badaojiang, Peng Yue and others, even Wang Yong, who had just joined the auxiliary army, also began to get busy, they all became instructor-like figures, and began to walk into the barracks, face to face with ordinary soldiers, teaching them the way of fists and feet.

......

Both the Ming army and the mercenaries are stepping up their preparations. In the lobby of the Wuzhou Mansion, the bandit leader Huang Yuliang was angry.

After gathering all the generals, he first cut down the general who was in charge of defending the city today, and then rewarded Zhu Fangyong for his meritorious support. Then the anger seemed to have subsided a lot, and the big seat that was originally the governor of Wuzhou looked at everyone and said: "You must know that once the city gate is broken, we will all die!" Even if it's for your own safety, please do your best. Please also follow the example of General Zhu Fangyong. ”

"Yes, Huang Gongzi." The generals and leaders standing below agreed one after another. But there are a few people who really listen to this, even Huang Yuliang doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

"Stand down, each of you takes care of your brothers, and is ready to go up to the castle tower at any time. General Zhu stayed. Waving his hand, Huang Yuliang had a tired and tired expression.

"I'll retire." After the other generals clenched their fists and spoke, they retreated in twos and threes. They whispered something as they walked, and it was clear that they must be analyzing the situation in front of them, and even some of them were afraid that they were still spreading remarks against the bandits.

All this, in the words of the past, no one dared to do this. However, under the situation that two of the Four Heavenly Kings died, one was missing, and only one remained, Huang Yuliang's control over the army was obviously not as good as it was at the beginning. At this moment, it seems that these people can only say something casually underneath, and there is nothing to be done.

Everyone retreated, leaving only Huang Yuliang and two guards plus Zhu Fangyong standing in the hall.

"General Zhu, you performed very well today, I am very satisfied." Huang Yuliang looked at Zhu Fangyong, who could still organize troops to fight against the Ming army and win in the troubled times, and said with a slight sigh.

"This is all the good fortune of the son, and the last general will not dare to take credit." Zhu Fangyong still didn't forget to say this.

"Hahaha, okay, General Zhu is still loyal, and he can reassure my son by doing things." Huang Yuliang, who was extremely comfortable by this sycophant, laughed, and then said in a changing voice, "General Zhu, this son intends to hand over the task of defending the city to you, I don't know how sure you are?" ”

Zhu Fangyong, who was asked, was stunned at first, and he looked not mentally prepared. Then he knelt down and said: "Thank you Gongzi for valuing it, even if you hand over the city defense to the last general, you must do your best and die." ”

Zhu Fangyong's words of allegiance naturally made Huang Yuliang happy in his eyes. But what he valued more was the certainty of defending the city, so he asked again, "General Zhu, you haven't said yet, if this son hands over the city defense of Wuzhou to you, can you hold it?" ”

Slowly raising his head, Zhu Fangyong looked at Huang Yuliang who was on the high seat, and said with a serious face, "I can't keep my son's words." ”

"What?" thought that even if he couldn't hold it, Zhu Fangyong would say some tactful words, such as he would do his best, for example, he would hold on for a while longer, etc., but he never expected that it would be such a direct answer, but it caught Huang Yuliang off guard.

"Can't hold it? I think I have more than 60,000 soldiers, why can't I defend a small Wuzhou Mansion? Huang Yuliang asked with an unhappy expression.

"Childe, please forgive the last general, you also said, the place where we are is a small Wuzhou Mansion, if you keep it for a long time, I am afraid that the food and drink will be exhausted first, in this way, there is no need for others to attack, it will be chaotic first, if this is the case, how can the city be defended?"

Listening to Zhu Fangyong's serious answer, Huang Yuliang's mood gradually stabilized. "Okay, so what do you mean?"

"Childe, according to the will of the last general, we must give up Wuzhou Mansion."

"Give up? Go on. Huang Yuliang listened with a frown.

"Yes." After Zhu Fangyong agreed, he said: "The art of war, if you defend it for a long time, you will lose, in the absence of reinforcements, it is definitely a strategy to defend Wuzhou Mansion, and there will not even be any hope." It's better to give up here and find a new place to stay. It's like arranging for the King of Ruhong Sea to find a new place for resettlement and development. This is external, internal, we can strictly defend the city, delay the speed of the Ming army's attack, but also to sort out the internal troubles, the end of the general is not talented, this period of time arranged some people to do some investigations, found that some generals have already had the heart of the Ming, such people exist around us, not will not be a help, but will become our cancer, hindering our development..."
