Chapter 428: The Lan family made a move
After several victories, Liu Chun's men and horses have broken through to 13,000 people, and through long-distance marches and several battles, the combat power has also improved. Especially the elite he got from Feng Cheng supported the backbone of this team.
Liu Chun knows that it is impossible to really defeat the enemy by relying on a pair of feet alone, and the essence of sports warfare is to destroy the enemy in motion, if you can't annihilate the enemy, what kind of war is it!
And instead of fighting a decisive battle with Ping'an, it is better to attack a big target like Chengdu, even if he can't take it, he can mobilize Ping'an's men and horses, forcing him to run for his life and expose his flaws.
Liu Chun was ruthless, personally supervised the army, and was never polite to any deserters.
But Liu Chun will not rush to fill in with human lives, in fact, he can't fill it at all.
Liu Chun's tactics are very simple, concentrate rockets, bombard the city, suppress the defenders, and make them unable to raise their heads. Then send a team, carrying gunpowder, to the city wall and blow up the fortified city with gunpowder.
Rockets roared over the city, exploding sparks everywhere, and surrounding buildings, including the castle towers, were caught in flames.
Some of the soldiers were on fire, screaming frantically, and fleeing in all directions.
The defenders were terrified, they were completely passive, and every time a rocket hit, they took refuge in all directions. When the city is empty, the demolition team is ready.
In front of them were two men with large shields and covering in front, and behind them were four young men with shovels, who also carried two ladders, except that the ladders were not for climbing the city, but for crossing the trenches. Finally, there are the soldiers who carry gunpowder.
They rushed to the moat, put the ladder in place, stepped on the ladder, and quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, the shield hand provided protection, and the others, desperate, threw off their arms and dug wildly.
The sharp shovel slammed into the hard stone with a loud sound.
The defenders at the head of the city finally noticed that something was wrong, and they shouted madly, and hurried to call the soldiers, and greeted them with rolling wood and thunder stones. But just as they straightened up, the sound of fire rang out.
The musketeers who provided support in the rear shot decisively, and the chests and heads of the soldiers defending the city bloomed with bright red blood mist, and they fell straight down to the city head one by one, and the others were so frightened that they retreated, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads.
Regardless of the people below, the city wall will be chiseled open, there is no way, the general carries a knife, frantically drives the soldiers up to the city, even if there are no stones, with corpses to smash the other party back.
The defenders rushed up like a tide, regardless of life and death, the fire rate and accuracy of the musketeers were limited, and in the face of the crowd, they could only cry out in vain, and the squad in charge of demolition had to retreat.
Liu Chun saw it in his eyes, and he was also ruthless, he must hurt his opponent!
Increase the number of demolition teams, increase the attack on the city, and attack with rockets, if you don't believe it, the people in the city can withstand it!
The two sides are like a live-action version of whack-a-mole, crazy to the extreme, there are corpses strewn all over the city, and the city is full of fire.
The battle lasted for two hours, and after all, there was still a lucky one who smashed a small hole.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, and the thick smoke of gunpowder rose straight into the sky, and a city wall quickly collapsed and fell. The soldiers on the city wall were shaken down several times, and fell to their deaths.
Almost all of the walls are made of masonry on the outside, while the inside is made of rammed earth.
Although this only exploded the surface, it meant that this tall and sturdy city showed its weak side!
The soldiers outside were red-eyed and screaming, and the demolition squad went forward one after another, while the defenders at the head of the city were visibly frightened, and they began to panic, and some people retreated.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, these thieves are too fierce, send someone to help, otherwise the city will be lost,"
When Zhu Chun heard this, his already white little face turned even paler, he likes to read since he was a child, and he is recognized as a talent among the princes.
He is not familiar with fighting, not to mention that he is not the king of Yisai, and there are not many Sanwei men and horses under him, and he has been raised almost useless over the years.
"How can these traitors have so many firearms, they are too fierce!" Zhu Chun's lips trembled, and he stomped his feet and said: "You have the ability, go to fight with Xu Huizu and Ping'an, and attack Chengdu, what kind of ability are you?" ”
Zhu Chun scolded for a long time, but it was useless!
Let him go to the city to supervise the war, I'm sorry, he doesn't have this ability, so who has? Zhu Chun subconsciously looked at the princess Lan, but found that the Lan family was staring at him with vicious eyes!
"Lord Wang, you don't want your concubine to go to the city to defend against the enemy, right?"
"This ...... Of course not, no......" Zhu Chun was stared at by his daughter-in-law, and said: "I, I mean you are a tiger girl, all families have good wives, better than the good appearance of the state, you, you give me an idea!" ”
Lan snorted, "Lord Wang, I'm a woman, what ideas can I have?" And even if there is, you have to be able to listen to it! ”
"Listen! I'll be ......."
Rumble!
There was another loud bang, the ground under his feet trembled, and Zhu Chun's soul was about to fly.
"Princess, hurry up, if the thieves come in, our husband and wife will not survive."
Lan despised her husband more and more, she was really a coward.
"Lord Wang, you call the soldiers outside the city thieves, let me ask you, can ordinary thieves have so many firearms?"
"This ...... Of course not. ”
"And who's the best at firearms?"
"Yes...... It's the Mu family in Yunnan! Although Zhu Chun didn't understand military affairs, he also knew that the famous three-stage attack was invented by Mu Ying.
Lan said coldly: "It's not stupid, Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" ”
"Me? What am I going to do? Zhu Chun said stupidly.
The Lan family couldn't stand it anymore, and went straight to the point, "Lord Wang, this time in Jingjing, your own brother Zhu Gui has already taken refuge in King Yan, what about you, do you want to follow King Yan too?" ”
"No!"
Zhu Chun was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumped up all of a sudden, and hurriedly reached out to cover his wife's mouth, but Lan twisted his head and didn't let him touch it.
Zhu Chun was anxious, "Madam, don't talk nonsense!" I, how capable I am, you know, I, I just want to be a rich and idle king, honestly guarding our family, I will be content. ”
"But what if you can't keep your home?" Lan Shi said politely: "Lord Wang, now that the war has burned to Chengdu, even if we can repel the enemy this time, what if they come again?" Also, if this battle drags on for a long time and is fought in darkness, you can still live a stable life in Chengdu? ”
Zhu Chun's face was tangled, and he said bitterly: "Princess, don't force me!" Since His Majesty ascended the throne and became the emperor, he is the emperor, and there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, just like heaven and earth...... I, I can't be an unfaithful and unfilial person! “
"Then you will help the Son of Heaven kill your brother and be an unkind and unrighteous person?" The Lan family was really a little polite, poking at Zhu Chun's weakness.
"Madam, you, you don't want to take refuge in King Yan too, do you?" Zhu Chun shook his head vigorously, "No, absolutely not!" The fourth brother raised the banner and rebelled, and with his own strength, he resisted the imperial court, although he defeated Li Jinglong, but he will be defeated after all, I, I can't die with him! ”
"Madam, you, you don't want to be a widow, do you?"
Lan Shi looked at Zhu Chun from the corner of his eye, and said unceremoniously: "Widowhood? My Lan family would rather accompany the hero to lose his head than live with a coward for the rest of his life! ”
"Zhu Chun, you still don't understand? Zhu Yunwen was not in the right position at all, and the first emperor didn't want him to inherit the country at all! ”
These words frightened Zhu Chun, gritted his teeth and said: "Madam, this, if others listen to this, don't say it's me, even if it's Liang Guogong, you will be implicated!" ”
"You're wrong! My dad has been implicated for a long time. Zhu Yunwen harmed Liu Chun, in order to block Liu Xuemen's mouth, he didn't arrest my father, so as not to be said to be killed. Then again, if Liu Chun doesn't die, my father will definitely die! It was someone who saved my father's life! Lan stretched out his finger, pointed at Zhu Chun's forehead, and said angrily: "It's also a son-in-law, why are you so bad?" ”
Zhu Chun rolled his eyes, "Okay, I admit it, I'm not as good as Liu Chun, I can't even compare to his toes, at the Wanshou Ceremony, my father Huangguang talked to him, and our sons have to step aside!" But so what? Yoo Chun is dead! There are no bones left! This is called the wood show in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. I'm a vassal king, no matter who is the son of heaven, I enjoy wealth and wealth, so why bother to kill my head! ”
"Madam, I'm also the head of the family, let's say so, no matter what, I won't betray the court!"
Lan chuckled, "Does the prince really want to be a loyal minister and a good general?" ”
"That's right! I am a Ming man in life and death! Definitely not to be a thief. ”
Lan nodded and exclaimed, "Okay, there are still some bones, but I'm afraid this matter can't be left to you." ”
"What?" Zhu Chun was so frightened that he changed color and said, "You, what are you going to do?" ”
"It's not what I'm going to do! It's that some people are going to act! ”
As soon as Lan's words fell, an official came running in embarrassment, covered in black smoke, "Lord Qiqi, the big thing is not good!" ”
"What's the matter?"
"There are rebels in the city!"
"What?" Zhu Chun's voice changed, he searched everywhere, the mansion was burned, and he had no sword or armor in this temporary resting place.
Anyway, he will go to quell the rebellion himself!
Fight!
At this moment, the Lan clan smiled coldly, and pressed Zhu Chun's shoulder with his hand.
"Lord Wang, you have to be a loyal minister and a good general, and the concubine will not stop you...... But if you want to find death, you can't leave the concubine body alone, but you are also my child's father, right? ”
"That's not right!" Zhu Chun's eyes widened, "You, if you want to kill, kill it!" I'm not afraid! ”
Lan shook his head slightly, "Lord Wang, you just can't think about it, you have to find yourself unhappy, you see!" This Chengdu city is about to be broken, and no one can stop it! ”
As he spoke, the city was in turmoil. There was a group of men and horses, and they were quickly killing the city...... The leader of the man, using a saber, is invincible, and no one can stop his move.
The guy stepped on the corpse and rushed all the way to the city.
"Listen to the rebels outside, we're reversed, follow us into the city!"
Sure enough, at this moment, the city gate opened, and Liu Chun, including Liu Chun outside, was startled. He really didn't expect to take Chengdu, and even if he captured it, he wouldn't have that many troops to defend it.
Liu Chun's goal from beginning to end was to mobilize the officers and troops, make them fatigued and weakened, and then wait for an opportunity to eat some of them. The capture of Chengdu was after the attack on Xu Huizu.
But at this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, which surprised Liu Chun.
It can't be a ploy in the city, right?
When Liu Chun hesitated, a horse rushed directly from the city, and many rebels wanted to stop it, but when Liu Chun saw the other party's facial features clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked!
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
The guy on the other side jumped off the war horse, galloped over, and had a strong hug with Liu Chun.
"I knew you weren't dead!" He used his fist, one by one, to knock on Liu Chun's back.
made Liu Chun cough constantly, "Brother Lan, you want me to die at your hands!" ”
The person on the other side let go of his hand, stared at Liu Chun, and laughed again, "Hurry up and enter the city, the princess has already arrested the king of Shu!" ”
