But just when Du Fei was about to withdraw his troops, a harsh sound of fire broke through the already almost quiet place, which seemed particularly abrupt and strange.
Du Fei was surprised to see a young man of no more than ten years old not far from him, lifting the smoke-producing fire system.
"I hit the enemy general!" He excitedly raised the fire commander high above his head and waved it. Du Fei looked in the direction of his finger and saw a tall figure with one arm and black armor slamming into the enemy group.
collapse.
The rebels immediately scrambled into chaos, shouting: "The coach is dead! The coach is dead!" They fled in all directions, completely losing the fierceness they had shown before when they were evenly matched.
Du Fei quickly ordered everyone to cover up and kill them! The enemies had no fighting spirit and just ran away. Many of them even trampled them to death!
Sometimes on the battlefield, the more afraid you are of death, the faster you may die. When these rebels fought with all their strength against Du Fei's army, not many people died, but once they turned their backs and ran away without defense, they suddenly lost their lives.
Many were cut down.
They all crowded at the city gate and wanted to get in, but the more they crowded, the more unable they were to move. In the end, nearly half of them failed to squeeze in and were locked out of the door. When they saw that Du Fei's army was chasing after them, they were so frightened that they disarmed one after another.
Surrender, some did not even need to hand over their weapons, because they had already lost them while escaping.
As soon as Du Fei escorted these people down, he saw arrows starting to be fired on the city wall. One of Bai Lang's lieutenants seemed to have escaped. He was tearing his throat and trying his best to organize the remaining rebels to defend the city. Those who entered the city were as scared as rabbits.
The rebels had come to their senses and began to mount the city wall and shoot arrows at Du Fei's troops.
When Du Fei saw that the enemy had calmed down and his army was exhausted, and it was getting dark, he decisively ordered the soldiers to withdraw half a mile and set up camp.
At this time, he found the stiff body of the white wolf on the ground, and the fire struck him between the eyebrows. He never thought that he would die at the hands of a common soldier. His heart of revenge was broken like this.
Lost~~This may be fate.
So accurate! Du Fei turned back to find the young man who shot the white wolf, but he had already been mixed with the crowd. He was busy planning to attack the city again tomorrow, so he put this matter behind his mind for a while.
.
He was relatively familiar with the terrain of Nanchang City, but he understood that relying on this group of people to attack the city would be ugly. Even if they didn't guard against them, it would take a long time to climb the ladder. This gave him a headache.
One night, I finally decided to use a firearm to give him a painful gouge without any explanation.
Anyway, the leader of the rebel army is dead. Under the continuous fire suppression, the already insufficient cohesion is expected to disintegrate soon. Then I will arrange some more capable soldiers with sharp legs to climb the wall at night to sneak in and open the door~~ That's it.
The city can be obtained at the lowest cost.
He arranged the battle plan for the next day in detail, and said it many times in succession, because he knew that once a fight started, the brains of these people would turn into mush, and any last-minute orders would be executed nine times out of ten.
Go to the eggplant field.
During the day, Du Fei's troops continued to shoot arrows into the city in accordance with the orders. The rebels on the city wall only ducked their heads for a moment and disappeared. At night, when he confidently led the soldiers to climb up the city wall, he heard something just halfway up the city wall.
The sergeant below shouted: Don't bother climbing, the door is open!
It turned out that the rebels who had been reluctantly organized by the deputy general to defend the city had been frightened all day in broad daylight. They had already quietly escaped while Du Fei's army was eating, and even forgot to close the door.
Du Fei was dumbfounded: Why would he bother so much if he had known this?
News of the fall of Nanchang soon reached the ears of King Ning, who was besieging Nanjing. He was already in a bad mood and became even more depressed.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the rare morale of his sergeants to attack Nanjing. Unexpectedly, only a small group of the Nanjing army came and fought with Zhang Wenjin's troops to repel his troops. His lofty ambition to conquer the world was greatly enhanced.
Get hit.
The reality is cruel. The garrison in Nanjing was indeed as elite and powerful as imagined. Before their own troops could even touch the city wall, they were hit by a hail of lead bullets and suffered heavy casualties. They rolled and crawled back.
King Ning immediately used his special move, "Whoever climbs the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! Everyone has a share!"
For the sake of money, the rebels plucked up the courage to set up ladders and rush towards the city wall!
The result was different from the last time. Several rounds of volleys were fired, and hundreds of people fell. Then the rebels immediately turned around and ran away, and a large number of them were knocked down by the cold guns behind them.
They began to feel that their siege equipment seemed to be missing something~~
The envoy in charge of military supplies was a distant relative of King Ning. This man was extremely good at calculations. He usually ran various illegal businesses for King Ning to make huge profits. It should be said that he made immortal contributions to the great cause of King Ning's rebellion. He was a very powerful person.
He is a businessman who can accurately calculate the expenses of a hundred thousand people, and those rebel officers do not dare to play tricks in front of him.
But everyone is perfect. This gentleman has one shortcoming - he doesn't understand military matters.
Do you think it doesn't matter if the person in charge of military supplies doesn't understand military affairs? He carefully selected a set of guys who needed to be prepared for the rebellion, saving what he could and what he couldn't save.
Everyone knows that engineering is a very difficult thing. First of all, your enemy is high up, and if you want to hit him, you must have superb archery skills and can pierce the poplar with a hundred steps. But if someone hits you, even if he picks up a stone as big as an egg and throws it at your head.
It's enough for you to bear.
That's not all. If you want to capture the city, you must have two elements: first, enter the city, and second, defeat the enemy (nonsense)
The first one is often more difficult than the second one.
There are only three ways to enter the city. One is to climb up using equipment such as a ladder. This is a trick that has been used for a long time throughout the ages. Although it looks stupid, the cost of building a ladder is low. If you have the right number of people on your side,
It’s not a bad idea to try. The second is to knock or blow open the city gate. At that time, the power of ordinary firearms was not powerful enough to blow down the city gate, so if you want to open the city gate without two brushes, you still have to be honest.
Holding the siege ram, or smashing the siege wood steadily little by little. Of course, during this period, the defenders on the city wall besides waiting and watching, they also did other things, such as shooting arrows and shooting fire.
Throw a giant block and splash some shit~~~
What should I do with the siege army that I am assisting at this time?
A well-equipped siege force will proudly move out extended and widened shields to defend against attacks. Although boulders cannot withstand them, other objects can still cover them.
But King Ning's army did not buy such necessities. The shrewd quartermaster thought that they were of little use and left them alone!
Some people may ask, isn't there a third way?
Well, the third way is to launch propaganda measures to attack people's hearts, which is the kind of coercion and deception that uses soft and hard tactics to trick others into surrendering. Don't think it's unrealistic. There are many such things in history. It's just that
When he arrived at Prince Ning's place, he was thankful that he wasn't deceived by others. How could he be rich enough to do this or that? So he didn't need to consider the third one.
