Chapter 303: Danger
As soon as the cannon sounded, the accompanying killing shouts had already broken through the sky, and countless thieves were surging towards the city wall like huge waves, and Zhu Xianxuan's face suddenly turned pale, his legs were weak, and his hands trembled.
And Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji also changed their faces, not because they were shocked by the tide of thieves in front of them, but because they ......
Artillery was heard in all directions!
Could it be that the thief army really adopted the tactic of attacking four cities and eight gates at the same time? This tactic Chang Yu thought after repeated deliberation earlier that the possibility was extremely small, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and the simultaneous attack of the eight doors can disperse the officers and soldiers and war materials, weaken the defensive force, but vice versa, it will also weaken their own attack power.
Therefore, Chang Yu thought that the thief army would only choose one or two main attack points to go all out in the end, and the others were just feints, and the main attack points must be the four southeast gates, so when he shelled the moat of Xicheng, he immediately transported the cannon back to its original place.
But at this time, there are cannon sounds on all sides, and once the artillery is used, it is not such a simple thing as a feint, although most of the artillery in this era is still an auxiliary weapon, but it is definitely a big killer weapon in siege warfare.
As the main attack weapon, it is natural to use the main attack point on the blade, Chang Yu does not know how many cannons the thief army has, but judging from the density of shells when the thief army attacked the city last time, it should not be more than the officers and soldiers!
However, just like this, the artillery still dares to scatter around? There are only two possibilities!
First, Li Zicheng wants to attack eight doors together, and second, feint to act in order to act!
In the final analysis, if the thief army really adopts the siege method, Chang Yu is not worried, what he is afraid of is that he will not be able to touch his main attack point if he feints all around, and then he will be hit hard by his black hand, and the consequences will be very unbearable.
Therefore, Chang Yu wants to find Li Zicheng's true intention as quickly as possible after he makes his move, whether it is a feint or a siege, and if it is a feint, then where is his main attack point.
"Order, immediately detect where the thieves' artillery is?" Chang Yu said as he hurriedly climbed up the southeast corner tower.
Li Zicheng sent troops from Xi'an to the east, and he naturally would not bring such a heavy guy as artillery, otherwise he would not be able to cross the Yellow River if he slowed down the marching speed!
Therefore, the artillery in the hands of the thief army was just plundered from the officers and soldiers all the way to the siege of the city, but it did not encounter a big city along the way, and there were not many plundered.
It may not even be possible to have eight gates, so it is impossible for the thief army to arrange one at each gate.
Now you only need to figure out which gate these guns are placed at to narrow the area of the main attack point.
Chang Yu climbed up to the third floor in one breath, and Zhu Xianxuan followed behind panting, his legs were sore and soft, but he didn't dare to say anything, because he could see that the little eunuch's expression was too solemn at this time.
Chang Yu couldn't take a breath and looked around, there was a sea of fire under his feet, the sound of killing shook the sky, looking around left and right, the east and west city walls were full of firelight, countless rockets flew towards the city wall with cannonballs, and even the air was filled with a smell of burning.
In the face of the huge wave of the thief army's attack, the officers and soldiers in the city were not relentless at all, and immediately used the most ferocious counterattack, long-range artillery bombardment, mid-section stone thrower, and close-range bow and arrow, like a torrential rain......
"How? Find out the ...... thief army" Zhu Xianxuan panted and walked over, and was kicked back by Chang Yu before he could reach the window
Zhu Xianxuan was furious, but then thought that Chang Yu might be afraid of his danger, so he didn't let him get closer, so he snorted coldly!
"The Great South Gate must be one of the main points of attack! Yichun Gate (Southeast Gate) too! Chang Yu turned around and took a long breath, his eyes were a little uncertain, because these two city gates were assisted by artillery, but the small south gate and Yinghui gate (northeast gate) that were close at hand did not.
At this moment, a brocade guard ran up from downstairs: "The Zhenyuan Gate of the North City and the Zhenwu Gate of the West City all have artillery!" ”
Fuck, there are artillery cannons at all four gates of the city, and even outside the most unlikely west gate, Li Zicheng is really playing with a real 6!
"How's the Simon Offensive?" Chang Yu asked again.
"The offensive is fierce! The artillery of the thief army bombarded the moat, and the thief army under the city has already attacked the corner of the city wall......"
"How is it like here?" Chang Yu pulled him to the window.
"It's comparable," Captain Jinyi said, glancing at him.
Exercise! Chang Yu slammed his fist, even the most unlikely Xicheng offensive was so strong, he was really stunned!
Rumble...... Suddenly, there was a loud bang at this moment, and a shot was hit on the east side of the corner tower, and a big hole collapsed in an instant, Chang Yu fell to the ground with a stumble, and his heart was shocked, and he rolled to Zhu Xianxuan's side, stretched out his hand and dragged him downstairs.
Zhu Xianxuan was like a sheep and was half-carried and half-dragged downstairs by Chang Yu with one hand, and he kept screaming in pain.
As soon as he got out of the corner tower, he saw the arrows falling like rain on his head, and the screams of the officers and soldiers who were hit by the arrows came from time to time, Chang Yu hurriedly pushed Zhu Xianxuan into the corner tower: "Stay inside"
"Damn it, I'm afraid of a ball" Zhu Xianxuan didn't know where to get his arrogance, pushed Chang Yu out of the corner with a big grin, and looked horizontal.
With a ding, a flying arrow hit his helmet, and the force was not small so that Zhu Xianxuan staggered, and then ran back to the corner with a rolling belt, his face pale: "You hit me just now?" ”
Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "You better go down to the city, take you with you."
"Nope! said that it was okay to watch the big scene, Lao Tzu wanted to see how the thieves fled in embarrassment! Zhu Xianxuan was enraged by Chang Yu's disdainful eyes, and stood up and walked up to Chang Yu: "I'll follow you wherever you go today."
"This is like a handle," Chang Yu said, turned around and rushed out, Zhu Xianxuan followed closely behind him.
The city wall is full of officers and soldiers hurrying to meet the enemy, countless rockets flew by, some fell on the head of the city, and some fell into the city.
At this time, the thief army was on the offensive, and the vanguard troops had touched the city wall and prepared to set up a ladder to climb the city, and the thief archers, stone throwers and artillery in the rear launched a fierce covering attack.
"Looking at the formation, the Great South Gate is still the main attack point of the thief army, and the thieves have not given up here because of the ice outside the city wall" Zhou Yuji had taken over the command of the Great South Gate at this time, and said with a solemn face after seeing Chang Yu coming in a hurry.
"It's not just here, it's all in the east and west cities, and even the far gate of the north town! Li Zicheng's move is very big! Chang Yu exhaled, looked at the city tower of the Great South Gate not far away, and had just been hit by two more shots, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, Lao Tzu's kitchen and bedroom!
"He really did it on all sides at the same time," Zhou Yuji gritted his teeth!
"Impossible!" Chang Yu shook his head slightly: "He can't take care of such a long front, there must be a main attack point."
Zhou Yuji nodded: "At this time, the war has just begun, and it is fierce on all sides, and it is not clear for a while that the main and secondary are not clear, but at most after half a pillar of incense, you can know where the main attack is and where the feint is attacked!" ”
"Not necessarily! It is said that his move is very big, maybe he won't show his trump card until the last moment" Chang Yu stared into the distance and frowned.
"Report to your lord, Zhenwumen (southwest gate) is tight!" Just then, a herald hurried up.
Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji's faces suddenly changed greatly.
Xicheng was the first main attack point that Chang Yu excluded, after all, it was close to the main road of the Fen River, the river was wide and had been broken by shelling, and it was not easy for the thieves to advance and retreat, so why couldn't they bear it at this time.
"It's a good sound to attack the west, the thief calculated that we would exclude Xicheng, and he unexpectedly took that side as the main attack" Zhou Yuji's teeth itched: "At this time, Lord Factory Governor should immediately mobilize Jin Wuwei to Xicheng to support!" ”
The original strength of Taiyuan City was more than 70,000 people, which was quite weak compared to the thief soldiers, and the unexpected joy was that Chongzhen transferred more than 10,000 cavalry of Jin Wuwei to supplement a new force.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of each department were stationed at the gates of each city, and only Jin Wuwei was on standby under the Great Southern City as a mobile force, where to support it!
"Wait!" Chang Yu suddenly stopped Zhou Yuji: "You are sitting here, the governor will go and have a look" After speaking, he yelled at a guard next to him: "Order Jia Waixiong and the brothers of the Gongzi camp to go to Xicheng to support immediately!" ”
The city was chaotic and crowded, Chang Yu turned over and went straight to the city, followed by Tu Yuan and Hu Ling.
"Factory ...... This king ......" Zhu Xianxuan saw Chang Yu going down to the city, and hurriedly shouted.
"Stay honest" Chang Yu didn't even roar back!
!
Zhu Xianxuan stomped hard, turned his head to look at Zhou Yuji, but saw that he was busy directing the battle, so he gritted his teeth and hurried to the city with the three family members.
Under the city, Jia Waixiong and others were already waiting, and when they saw Chang Yu going down to the city, they immediately surrounded him: "My lord"
"Extremely fast support Zhenwu Gate" Chang Yu patted his horse and galloped west along the corner of the city wall.
"It's my lord," Jia Waixiong and the others immediately led their subordinates to follow Chang Yu and galloped wildly.
Three hundred Jin Wuwei plus three hundred palace battalions and government guards, Teng Xiangwei, a total of more than 1,000 people, this is Chang Yu's descendants and the most elite of the people, in fact, it is quite his own soldiers.
The thieves were storming the city, and from time to time rockets and stones flew over the walls and fell on the demolished clearing.
Chang Yu led his troops to brave rockets and flying stones, and ran wildly at high speed, and it only took less than half a cup of tea to reach the Zhenwu Gate in Xicheng.
Before he landed in the city, he heard the sound of killing and soared into the night sky, and the rockets and flying stones were even more like heavenly maidens scattering flowers and falling into the city like a raging storm, which made Chang Yu and the others feel frightened, the thief army was attacking so fiercely.
Seeing that the situation was so urgent, Chang Yu immediately ordered to dismount and rush to the city, he had the best physical strength, and took the lead in the city, with a slight glance, his face changed greatly.
