Chapter 172 Occupying Puzhou
In a moment, a soldier who was responsible for logistics pushed several trucks of quilts and blankets, and Wang Chongshi ordered people to pour a large amount of water upwards, so that the quilts and so on were soaked.
They draped soaked quilts on their bodies, put on a blanket themselves, and rushed in through the city gate with five hundred people.
Zhu Wen, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but admire Wang Chongshi's courage and thought to himself: "This person is comparable to Xu Huaiyu, and he is a desperate person." You should know that many generals joined the army to fight, but in order to make achievements, they were granted their wives.
Yinzi, to put it bluntly, it is for fame and fortune, and it is important to regard life as a matter of fact. People like Xiang Wang Chongshi and Xu Huaiyu are really different.
The five hundred soldiers led by Wang Chongshi quickly disappeared into the fire, as if they were swallowed by the fire in an instant. Ge Congzhou was a little scared and then ordered five hundred people to go into the city to respond from the tunnel, but unexpectedly the tunnel had been in the city.
The enemy discovered that the exit had been sealed with a large stone.
Fortunately, there was a shocking shouting in the city at this time. The battle lasted for half an hour and gradually weakened. As no one added fuel, the fire at the gate of the city gradually became smaller and finally extinguished.
Ge Congzhou hurriedly rushed into the city gate with a large group of troops. The city was full of corpses. The defenders had retreated near the government office. Wang Chongshi was covered in blood and was still fighting hard. There were only a hundred of the five hundred brothers left by his side.
Most of them are injured.
When the enemy saw Ge Congzhou's large group of troops entering the city, they hurriedly retreated from the east gate. Before they could escape, they put down their weapons and surrendered.
Zhu Wen flew off the horse, ran quickly to Master Wang, and grabbed Master Wang. At this time, Master Wang had five or six feather arrows inserted into his body, and several wounds were cut by the enemy's sabre on his back and shoulders, and his blood stained his red.
But he still didn't say a word. He just smiled at Zhu Wen and said, "The general did not let down the prince's trust."
After saying that, he could no longer hold on, his body softened and fell down. Zhu Wen hugged him quickly, tears burst out from his eyes. He turned around and shouted: "Send the military doctor quickly!"
Master Wang Chong said weakly: "Don't worry, my life is very strong and I can't die."
Zhu Wen was moved and said, "If I were to use your life to exchange Puzhou, I would rather not have this city!"
Master Wang Chong was also very moved after hearing Zhu Wen's words. He wanted to speak, but opened his mouth and said nothing. He didn't know if he was moved or because he was too seriously injured and could not speak.
When Zhu Wen saw the expression of Master Wang Chong, he said, "You don't need to say anything. Recover your wounds well. When you recover, this Puzhou City will belong to you. From now on, you will be the governor of Puzhou!"
In a moment, seven or eight military doctors had arrived, helping Wang Chongshi check his injuries, clean up his wounds, take arrows, and apply medicine. It took him half an hour to bandage it. A military doctor led by the leader said: "General Wang has lost blood.
There are many, more than ten wounds on the body, bones can be seen, and two arrows are also deep. The injuries are very serious. I am afraid that it will not be cured in less than two or three months. Even if it is cured, I may not be able to go to the battlefield in the future.
”
Zhu Wen nodded and said, "It's okay, as long as you can save your life, I want him as a person. Even if I can't fight on the battlefield in the future, I will still be the governor of Puzhou. Puzhou City is his Wang Chongshi!" Zhu Wen said
Decisive and no one can question it.
Puzhou has been taken down. Compared with Caozhou and several nearby counties, Puzhou is much larger and more prosperous. For example, the average three states in today's average are already occupied by Zhu Wen, so the surrounding counties are heard.
Most of the news of the loss of Puzhou was surrendered. Some of them fled back to Yunzhou without waiting for the attack.
Zhu Xuan certainly knows why Zhu Wen is so angry. He knows the relationship between Zhu Wen and Huang Ying very well. Now that his cousin has married Huang Ying, Zhu Wen will certainly not give up when he knows it. This is what their brothers have expected.
But when Zhu Jin posted the wedding invitation, he did not mention Huang Ying's identity, but said that he was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Yanzhou City. Zhu Wen did not attend the banquet in person, how could he know the news? Zhu Xuan was puzzled by this.
untie.
But how Zhu Wen knows now doesn't matter anymore. What's important is how to deal with Zhu Wen's attack. More than ten counties in the two prefectures and more than ten counties fell into the opponent in less than ten days. How can this not make Zhu Xuanxin feel cold?
?In addition, many of his generals followed Zhu Jin to participate in the Wang Mandu Battle. They knew Zhu Wen's methods very well. They had also seen the powerful weapons in Zhu Wen's army. Huang Chao's more than 100,000 troops were for half a day.
All of them were killed, let alone Yunzhou's 30,000 or 20,000 people could not defend them? As long as they were willing, would we be destroyed in less than two cups of tea?
In fact, they were a little worried about it. After all, Yunzhou is not Wang Mandu. There are nearly 300,000 people in Yunzhou. Zhu Wen would never use large-scale weapons of destruction to directly deploy them into the city. At most, it would be a
The city gate was just broken. It was not that easy to kill in. Yunzhou was no better than Puzhou and Caozhou. Yunzhou was the governor's headquarters. The city walls were tall. Where could there be a urn city at the gate? If you really wanted to kill in Wengcheng.
In other words, the outcome is unknown. The city is surrounded by arrows, and there are many things such as rolling wood, stones, etc., which are also available. If someone really attacks the city, it will become a turtle in the jar.
But Zhu Xuan was really scared after losing two big cities in a row. The solid city gate was as if it was just paper under the opponent's bomb. It turned into powder after a few shots, and it did not play a protective role at all.
It would be even more unrealistic to say that he went to seek peace. How could he sit idly by and watch Zhu Wen attack Zhu Jin? What's more, even if he asked for peace, Zhu Wen might not agree. Zhu Wen was even more worried about bypassing Yunzhou to attack Yanzhou.
Once he cut off his food route from Yunzhou and blocked his way back, wouldn’t Zhu Wen’s expeditionary army become an isolated army? How could Zhu Wen take this risk by familiarizing himself with military tactics?
After all, Zhu Jin shouldn't have married Huang Ying at the beginning. Zhu Xuan had persuaded him, but he couldn't persuade him at all. Zhu Jin was just a stubborn and a heart was fascinated by Huang Ying.
She won't marry her.
It's like a man in his thirties, so I can't watch my cousin be a bachelor, right? In fact, to be honest, Zhu Xuan is also interested in Huang Ying, but he is afraid that Zhu Wen will not go to bed directly, and secondly, he is
I already had a wife and children, so I stopped missing me.
Zhu Xuan was worried, and another cousin Zhu Qiong came to report that Zhu Wen had set out from Puzhou and headed straight for Yunzhou.
Zhu Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I just said that your second brother shouldn't marry that Huang Ying. Sooner or later, he will find out who Zhu Wen is. How could he give up? This is the hatred of taking away his wife!"
Zhu Qiong's temperament is also a bit similar to Zhu Jin, and said, "Brother, you know the temper of the second brother. As long as he determines, eight horses can't be brought back. This cannot be blamed for this. The three of us were the first one at that time.
When I met my second sister-in-law the next time, didn’t I fall in love with her at first sight? If it were me, I would marry him at all costs. At worst, I could just take her around the world. As long as I could hug her and sleep for the whole night,
Even if I die immediately, I will be willing."
Zhu Xuan thought to himself: Another young man, why are the two cousins all the same. He scolded the two brothers in his heart for not doing big things.
Zhu Xuan said: "At this time, your second brother's reinforcements were already on the road and could arrive in Yunzhou in three days. The key is how to stop Zhu Wen halfway, if he was asked to arrive in Yunzhou before the reinforcements arrived.
It's not good, no one knows whether he can take Yunzhou overnight. Caozhou and Puzhou have not even resisted for a long time!"
Zhu Xuan is really afraid of Zhu Wen now, right? He may not be able to fight a city for several months. Zhu Wen took it in a few hours, so who would not be afraid?
But Zhu Qiong was not afraid. Zhu Qiong said, "Brother, don't panic. I will lead five thousand men to intercept Zhu Wen. I don't believe that Zhu Wen has three heads and six arms. With the gun in my hand, he can capture him alive.
This thief! He is just the youngest disciple of Huang Chao. When our three brothers fought with him on the mound outside Songzhou City, he was no match for me at all. Moreover, our skills have not been lost in the past ten years, as long as he dares to do so.
If you fight me one-on-one, I promise to capture him alive.”
How could Zhu Xuan believe that Zhu Wen would fight Zhu Qiong alone? He said immediately: "Zhu Wen can control four or five vassal states openly and secretly, of course he is not an ordinary person, and he does not rely on his personal bravery, even if he is martial arts.
He may not be able to fight you one-on-one, not to mention that his martial arts skills are not as good as you, so he will not fight you one-on-one. Now it is a confrontation between the two armies, not the stories in those legendary stories, and you still fight one-on-one.
He is stupid!"
Zhu Qiong smiled and said, "You can rest assured that your brother is. I naturally have a way to make him agree to this. Just wait for good news in Yunzhou."
The next morning, Zhu Xuan personally sent Zhu Qiong to the battle. After Zhu Qiong drank three bowls of wine, he threw the wine bowl, turned over cleanly and neatly, and led five thousand men out of the west gate of Yunzhou.
Zhu Xuan stood on the city tower and looked at his cousin who was leaving, sighed in his heart. He had a premonition that Zhu Qiong had a life of death, but Zhu Qiong and Zhu Jin were all so stubborn and stubborn, as long as he decided
Even eight horses couldn't get back, so Zhu Xuan had to let him go. Anyway, someone was needed to intercept Zhu Wen. Only Zhu Qiong could take on this role in Yunzhou City. The others were not
Zhu Wen's opponent, secondly, the current situation in Yunzhou is worrying. If someone sends you there, you will not guarantee whether you will surrender to Zhu Wen and Zhu Xuan.
Zhu Xuan sighed and watched Zhu Qiong lead the team gradually fade away, and he felt a little disappointed. Because Zhu Qiong's defeat was almost certain, it depends on whether he is back to life. Zhu Xuan, the cousin, is also
I was unable to save anything, would I let Zhu Xuan lead his troops to counterattack? He could clearly see Cao Cunshi's fate back then.
When Han Jian attacked Yunzhou, the Jiedushi Cao Cunshi sent troops to counterattack and was defeated and died. This gave Zhu Xuan the opportunity to become the Jiedushi of the Tianping Army. If he went out of the city to fight Zhu Wen in a decisive battle, it would be difficult for anyone to attack Yunzhou.
The idea is that in this chaotic world, there are not many people who can trust it, Zhu Xuan thought.
This is a chaotic era, but with the addition of Zhu Wen, it is obvious that this period of history is about to be rewritten, the premature use of gunpowder, and the emergence of precise muskets on the battlefield will greatly change this era. The sharp hot weapons are
The role of this cold weapon era is immeasurable. This is the capital that Zhu Wen was able to surround the Central Plains, and it is also the capital that he relied on to change this chaotic history.
Zhu Wen is now fully confident that he can change this era. The tall and majestic city can be taken down with great destructive power. He no longer has to rely on his life to fill the battle like before. Now he relies on technology.
, relying on weapons, just three thousand muskets are enough to sweep Shandong and take down all the Tianping Army, Taining Army, and Pinglu Army! Of course, his goal is Yanzhou now, because Zhu Jin is too unwilling to see him Zhu Wen
In my eyes.
Perhaps only with iron-blooded means can all be changed, so that the decades-long history of the Five Dynasties will no longer be repeated in history, the hundreds of years of humiliation of the Han people will be written off from history, and the Khitan in the north will no longer be
Constitute any threat.
