Chapter 47 Siege (Part 2)

Zhang Shun knew that he could not set up flags randomly when doing things, otherwise there would be no good ending. This "Purple Gold Ray" is a typical example.

His pointed wooden donkey was indeed perfect. There was another two-inch caliber tiger squatting cannon hidden inside. He pushed it near the city gate and aimed at Douzhuang City Gate with a shot. He knocked the left door of the west gate a hole the size of a fist, which scared the households of Douzhuang guarding the city.

Zhang Daojun quickly ordered the imitation Western artillery to load live ammunition to shoot. As soon as one round, the pointed wooden donkey pushed by the subordinates of "Zijinliang" exceeded the shooting range. Unfortunately, Dou Zhuang's imitation Western artillery could not even hit a pointed wooden donkey.

"Purple Golden Liang" became more and more happy and said to Zhang Shun: "Thanks to the artillery of the little brother Optimus Prime, otherwise it would be difficult to take down this city."

Zhang Shun glanced at him strangely and thought to himself: This guy has been struggling under this city for more than half a month, but he has made no progress at all. Where did he brag about the courage to break through this city today?

Zhang Shun did not know that although the "Zi Jinliang" and others were from the border army of the garrison, the Yansui land had been fighting against the Tatars and Oirat and had no experience in siegeing the city. This so-called Tagang is the Ming people's despicable name for the Tatars and Oirat and Mongolia who lived in the Hetao area. These people basically lived by water and grass, and there was no fixed place, so the method of fighting with Yansui and it was mostly field battles, defending the city as a supplement, and there was no way to siege the city.

A few days ago, the "Purple Gold Liang" used the simple "anti-attachment" method, which was to rely on the long climbing ladder to accumulate lives, and there was no advanced strategy to attack the city. It was only in the past few days that his adviser Han Tingxian made a plan for him that this time the siege was achieved.

Unfortunately, the "Purple Golden Liang" underestimated Zhang Daojun. When he saw the pointed wooden donkey from "Purple Golden Liang" reaching the city, he ordered the servants of the village to drop stones downwards and try to smash the pointed wooden donkey. As a result, the pointed wooden donkey cooperates with the cannon and does not need to approach the city gate to shoot. The stones dropped on the city cannot hit that far and cannot destroy the pointed wooden donkey.

So, Zhang Daojun ordered the servants of the village to throw an iron hook at the pointed wooden donkey, and the iron hook hit the top of the pointed wooden donkey. He also asked dozens of people to work together to pull the top of the pointed wooden donkey, and then fired with a quick gun and a three-eyed gun.

The pointed wooden donkey lost its protection, and the small flag of ten people was immediately lost and almost wiped out the entire army. Zhang Daojun did the same thing, and the pointed wooden donkeys made by the "Purple Golden Liang" were pulled open to the top, and then, except for some soldiers who escaped back, most of them were stained with blood. The "Purple Golden Liang" not only lost some of the elite siege, but even the cannons that were not warmed up in their hands also abandoned eight gates.

When Zhang Daojun was overjoyed, he quickly opened the city gate, and used his servants as sharp swords and the villages as their backing, he bravely went out of the city to grab artillery. When he saw it, the "Purple Golden Liang" was so angry that he quickly asked his soldiers to use artillery to suppress the other party, while releasing the cavalry in his hands and raiding the soldiers sent by Zhang Daojun outside the city.

Zhang Daojun was also shocked. A few days ago, when he attacked the city, everyone was pecking at each other and was not at the right level. The original "Purple Gold Rail" was at this level, but he never thought that the other party was holding a cavalry in his hand.

In fact, Zhang Daojun has been despised by the Shaanxi Rebel Army for a long time in the mainland. Since the Shaanxi Rebel Army’s uprising, it has been killed by Hong Chengchou and others, and his legs are too slow to die. No matter what special skills are left, they will at least ride horses, and some of them are elite cavalry of the Ming army who often fight against the trap.

Cavalry was released from here, and Zhang Daojun quickly ordered the city to support artillery, but the effect was still not very good. In addition to the servants brought back from Liaodong who could retreat in battle, the servants who left the city were instantly chopped off by the horses under the command of "Purple Golden Liang", crying and calling for their parents.

Zhang Shun's eyes lit up and thought: These are only one or two hundred cavalry, and they have such power when charging forward. If there are thousands of cavalry, how powerful will it be in this era of hot and cold weapons parallel? No wonder later online novels basically only include spearmen and musketeers, which are specially set up for enemy cavalry.

After a fight between the two sides, Zhang Daojun suffered a great loss of blood and left more than a dozen bodies and retreated. The cavalry under the "Purple Golden Liang" wanted to take the opportunity to attack the city, but he did not expect that Zhang Daojun's servants were fighting and retreating. There were cannons, quick guns, three-eyed guns and other firearms on the city to support it. The cavalry of the "Purple Golden Liang" could not get close to the city, and lost five or six. He had to use a rope to put on the cannon and pulled the discarded cannon back with a horse.

Although "Purple Golden Liang" suffered a small loss this time, it at least suppressed Zhang Daojun's arrogance. "Purple Golden Liang" made a big splash in the camp, rewarded the cavalry who made meritorious service, and encouraged a little depressed morale.

In the afternoon, "Zijinliang" reorganized the team and built two arrow towers outside the city, allowing people to shoot at the city with bows and arrows and muskets to suppress the defenders on the walls of Douzhuang. The others rushed towards the gate of Douzhuang with oil and straw, igniting a fire and burning the gate of Douzhuang.

While Zhang Daojun asked people to dump sand and soil down from the city to extinguish the fire, he also used artillery and the arrow tower set up by the "Purple Gold Liang" to shoot at the same time. As a result, because the city gate was sunken, the fire could not be extinguished in time, and the two city gates were burned by the "Purple Gold Liang". However, there was still a urn, and the "Purple Gold Liang" could not attack the city. The cannon had a range of shotguns that was too close to the arrow tower of the "Purple Gold Liang"; with solid bullets, it could hardly cause damage to the "Purple Gold Liang" arrow tower of the wooden frame structure. What's more, the feng shui rotated, and the sun set in the west, just shook the eyes of the guards of Dou Zhuang, which made Dou Zhuang only get beaten but not fight back.

If it were someone else, he would definitely not be able to use this arrow tower, but who is Zhang Daojun? He helped the court to supervise various Western artillery and was quite familiar with some Western types of bombs. He immediately ordered people to make refining bombs, also known as mandarin duck bullets, which is the chain bullets used by Zhang Shun in the later generations of the great sailing game.

There is a Mars Temple in Douzhuang City, a fire god temple that worships Zhurong. It is a workshop where Zhang Daojun was responsible for supervising the construction of Western artillery a few years ago. All the craftsmen inside were supported by Zhang. After Zhang Daojun's order, he quickly made a few mandarin ducks and popped out.

Zhang Daojun sent people to load these mandarin duck bullets into Western artillery and bombard the arrow tower of the "Purple Gold Liang". Sure enough, after the chain bullet was shot out, it spread out from the middle, and it swirled on the wooden structure of the arrow tower, smashing the wooden structure. After only a few guns, the two arrow towers were destroyed instantly. Poor dozens of soldiers on the arrow tower had no time to get down, so they fell from the tower and fell to pieces.

When "Purple Golden Liang" saw this, his face turned purple with anger for a moment. On the contrary, Zhang Shun was very interested in the shells fired by Zhang Daojun's cannon: This is the chain bullet in the game? How could this little Douzhuang have such a weapon?
