Tens of thousands of hungry soldiers launched a fierce attack on Wenxi County under the call of Gao Yingxiang. Although Gao Yingxiang had a so-called 180,000 army, hungry soldiers accounted for the vast majority of them. Gao Yingxiang's troops were generally divided into three parts.

The lowest level is the hungry soldiers, that is, ordinary refugees. Gao Yingxiang gathered them together and became the combat forces on the periphery. These people are men and women, old and young, and have no weapons and equipment, but just hoes, wood

Farm tools such as sticks, kitchen knives, shovels, etc., and there is no armor. Their only task is to consume the officers and soldiers' arrows, guns, and physical strength. Gao Yingxiang did not expect these people to achieve much victory. Don't look at the terrifying momentum.

But they are actually all characters who die.

These people often join the crusades with a steamed bun or a bowl of brown rice. No wonder, the northwest has been drought for many years, and more people cannot survive. When the bark of wild vegetables and trees is eaten up, people may change their children.

And food eventually developed to eating dead human flesh. At this time, you give him a bowl of rice. What would happen to these hungry people? Gao Yingxiang relied on this trick to recruit a large number of soldiers in Shanxi and eastern Shaanxi, and integrate small stocks from all over the country

The bandits eventually obtained such a powerful force. The middle power of Gao Yingxiang's legion was the main soldiers. The so-called main soldiers were the same as the military configuration of the court, and they were ordinary soldiers, but these people were all green.

Zhuang, Gao Yingxiang will also conduct some screening to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. Although there is no armor, swords, spears and weapons can basically be used for one shot. Some people also use wood to make simple shields, so the army camp will

With some scale, although it is not considered a very strong combat force, it is much better than a hungry soldier. The treatment in the main barracks is better than that of a hungry soldier. You can eat two meals a day, and one meal a day than a hungry soldier.

The treatment of food is a world of difference. Gao Yingxiang stipulated that if a soldier can be killed and his head is cut off, the hungry soldier can be upgraded to a regular soldier and his treatment will be improved.

The last one is the old camp. This is the main force in any rebel army. Whether it is Wang Zuoguai, Li Zicheng, Zhang Cunmeng or Gao Yingxiang, the main core of the main force is the old camp. These are all composed of people who know martial arts, or the former.

The officers and soldiers, or veterans who have experienced many battles, have even stronger combat power than the officers and soldiers of the court. Gao Yingxiang, as the most powerful rebel army in the entire northwest, even half of the soldiers in his old camp are equipped with war horses, so let's not

To talk about the quality of war horses, at least it has the prototype of a cavalry cluster.

There are about 180,000 hungry soldiers, more than 20,000 regular soldiers, and five or six thousand old battalions. This is the entire composition of Gao Yingxiang's army. This time, he attacked Wenxi County, Gao Yingxiang ordered 120,000 hungry soldiers to scatter around the city.

, blocked the city, and there were 30,000 hungry soldiers as the first wave of attacking forces. When they consumed almost the physical strength and equipment of the defenders on the city, the remaining tasks were handed over to the main soldiers. Gao Yingxiang believed that even if it was three

Ten thousand pigs were captured by the officers and soldiers of Wenxi County, and they would probably be exhausted halfway to death, let alone 30,000 people. After consuming these 30,000 people, the remaining 20,000 soldiers should be able to go up to harvest corn.

Gao Yingxiang personally led the old camp soldiers to watch the battle behind, or it is more appropriate to supervise the battle. Gao Yingxiang's veterans are not easy to fight. Unless the situation is very urgent, Gao Yingxiang will use the old camp soldiers. These soldiers have accumulated from previous battles.

Everyone has a life on their hands, so they are extremely fierce. That is Gao Yingxiang's treasure. So, unless it is absolutely necessary, Gao Yingxiang will not dispatch these old camp soldiers, and it is very suitable to use them to supervise the battle.

Thirty thousand people rushed towards the city wildly. Siege was actually a very big problem for the rebels. Not to mention that the rebels had almost no heavy artillery and other firearms, they still used primitive and simpler methods when siegeing the city.

Weapons. Just talking about the tactics of siege, the rebel army is not good at it. No wonder, these people were hungry the day before, but today they became soldiers. They had never received military training. When fighting, they just rushed up in a swarm. Where did they still have

What kind of tactics are there?

The configuration of Wang Junce and Ruan Cheng is also very targeted. Beicheng is the main attack direction of the rebel army, so the defenders in Beicheng also have the largest number of troops, reaching one thousand people. The remaining city walls are 300 people, leaving one hundred people.

As mobile forces, reinforcements are available at any time. The people in the city have also taken action to rescue the wounded and transport supplies. In this relatively primitive siege battle, the defenders' weapons do not need to be very advanced, just rolling wood and stones.

Main, auxiliary firearms, bows and arrows, as well as gray bottles, caltrops and other hidden weapons. Especially the rolling wood stones, they can be easily obtained by demolishing some private houses, so many people voluntarily donate their houses and provide them to officers and soldiers for use.

"Did you all see it?" In a dilapidated house in Dongcheng, Wenxi County, several people were discussing something secretly. The dilapidated house had been requisitioned by the army, and most of the walls were removed as a rolling wooden slug.

Shiyun arrived on the city, and now there were only broken walls left, but a few people squatted in the corner, as if conspiring with major events. That's right, although the military and civilians of Wenxi County were determined to resist the thieves under the leadership of Wang Junce and Ruan Cheng.

, But not everyone has one mind, and there are always some of these people who have two minds. For example, these people who are squatting in a broken house are like this. They are all idle gossips in Wenxi County, and they are still messing around now.

Zi, he was arrested by Wang Junce several times and was punished. Naturally, he hated Wang Junce to the core. After coming out, he found a way to retaliate against Wang Junce, but Wang Junce was

The county magistrate and there are hundreds of public servants and yamen runners around him. It is not easy for them to be unfavorable to Wang Junce. But opportunities always come inadvertently. So, the King of Chuang led his troops to attack Wenxi County. This is a good opportunity.

These rangers discussed that if they could help King Chuang capture Wenxi County, it would be necessary to say that Wang Junce would definitely not be able to lose a good result. That would be a killing of two birds with one stone. These people were thinking about how to achieve meritorious service.

After a reconnaissance, they found that except for the North City, there were not many troops defending the other city gates. On weekdays, there were many defenders in the city gate tunnel, but now, the defenders in the city gate tunnel have all gone to the city to defend.

Only a few people were left to watch the gate in the city. No one would have thought that there would be enemies in the city, so the defense of the gate holes was naturally relaxed.

These idle gangsters have found out that there are only five soldiers guarding the gate of Dongcheng City Gate, and there are eight of them. If they can seize the city gate with lightning speed and call the army of the King of Chuang to enter the city, it would be a great achievement.

Ah. So they sneaked into the ruins closer to Dongcheng, hid and waited for the best time. These people were all sluts, so naturally they could get some weapons. Eight people held steel knives.

Just wait for the time to come, jump out and attack.

North City, under the command of Ruan Cheng, a thousand defenders desperately resisted the attack of 30,000 hungry soldiers. "Flame! Fire the cannons!" Boom boom, the cannons at the head of Wenxi County opened fire under Ruan Cheng's order, although the same

There were no heavy artillery, but the large and small Francophones were enough for hungry soldiers to drink a pot. One or two pounds of cannons jumped in the crowd, opening up a bloody path. No matter whether it was a man, woman, old or young, he died when he touched it. A sixty-year-old man

While running out of breath, he waved the kitchen knife in his hand. His fellow villagers and family were following him. These hungry soldiers were basically based on villages. Relatives and friends gathered together, and they felt more secure, but the cannon

But whether you are a relative or a friend or not,

A shell came over, and it was still bloody and bloody. The old man was about to greet his fellow villagers around him to help him. When he saw a small black dot flying from the city, his sight was getting bigger and bigger. With a bang, the medium-sized Franchise machine

Two pounds of cannons hit the old man's chest, and the human body was divided into two sections. The colorful things flowed all over the ground. The old man couldn't help but feel severe pain and wanted to shout, but before he could shout, he died.

It drooped, its eyes wide open, and it was so dead. The shell did not stop, and it continued to roll back, taking away two thighs, a head and several arms. More than a dozen people rolled to the ground, wailing and screaming.

Such a scene is constantly repeating among the hungry soldiers.

"Fifty steps, the bow and arrows are ready to be released!" Ruan Cheng waved the sword in his hand, and more than 300 bows and arrows and hundreds of muskets were fired together, and the arrows flew across the board, after all, it was the Ming army's standard arch and bow.

Kaiyuan bow, but the hungry soldiers only have the earth bow, and there is the advantage of being condescending on the city. Naturally, the arrows can fly further. The hungry soldiers under the city have no way to take the Ming army on the city. And he only has wooden shields and

How could the iron pot protector be the opponent of the musket? After one round of shooting, it was like cutting wheat. The hungry soldier fell down instantly. Puchi, puff, arrow puddle in.

The human body kept ringing. A hungry soldier who was shouting to kill the officers and soldiers was shot into the eye socket by an arrow. He fell to the ground with a backward onion, twitching and shaking twice, and then he could not die anymore. He might be by his side

His wife cried out sadly, "The head of the family!" The couple were originally from Zezhou. The village had a severe drought and their children were starved to death. Seeing that they were about to follow the steps of their children, the rebel army arrived and gave them a way out.

They joined the hungry soldiers in a daze. Unexpectedly, under Wenxi County, their men died, so what's the point of living?

She picked up the man's wooden stick, stared at her blood-red eyes, ran, and roared like a beast. "Let it go!" Bang bang bang bang, another round of musket was hit by, and a gun bullet hit the woman accurately.
