Zhao Yanxun had to admit that Zhu Jinzhang was really a talent.
Having reached such a stage, and having such the ability to confuse right and wrong, it seems that this tough battle must be fought.
In fact, Zhao Yanxun never thought that he could make the other party surrender just by persuading him to surrender.
As he said, the so-called persuasion to surrender is just to give "hope" to the opposing garrison, so that these people will surrender as soon as possible under high pressure.
Sitting on the chair, Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Let them all come back!"
Naturally, someone went to deliver the order, and Zhao Yanxun said to Huang Tianyan on the side: "You go to the front and deliver the message, just say what I said personally. We will attack in two moments. As long as you surrender, you can survive!"
It is not difficult for Zhao Yanxun to win this battle because he has a secret weapon.
Among the latest supplies, there are four grenades sent from Yuanyang, which are a good thing when attacking a city.
Huang Tianyan didn't know the inside story, but he said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Then he rushed forward, while Zhao Yanxun ordered someone to convey the military order, and the army would launch an attack in two moments.
On top of the two cloud chariots were Chen Yu and his bodyguards, as well as Fang Sheng and Wang Cheng's upgraded soldiers.
These upgraded soldiers will ride in cloud chariots and serve as the first to ascend the city wall, shouldering the heavy responsibility of conquering the city wall.
The remaining soldiers are mainly responsible for follow-up reinforcements and suppressing the defenders on the city wall with arrows.
"Our prince has said that we will attack in two moments. As long as we surrender, we can survive!"
"Our prince has said that we will attack in two moments. As long as we surrender, we can survive!"
Looking at the surrender team that had been taken away and Huang Tianyan who came to convey the king's order at this moment, everyone on the city wall knew that war was inevitable.
Walking on the city wall, Zhu Jinzhang shouted: "Everyone, we will win... we will win!"
Time passed very slowly, but it also passed very quickly. Two moments later, the drums sounded loudly, and it was Yong's army's siege vehicles that had started moving.
The cloud cart is tall and can accommodate more than 20 people standing on the top. These people can be placed on the city wall at one time.
The speed of the cloud car is not very fast. It takes at least ten minutes to reach the distance of 500 meters.
To deal with this kind of siege method, generally speaking, it is to shoot with arrows, or send troops out of the city to harass. It is best to burn the cloud chariot.
Unfortunately, Zhu Jinzhang could not use any of these three methods, so he could only wait and confront Yong's army head-on.
Their only advantage is that there are many people on the city wall.
Seeing that the battle was about to begin, Zhu Jinzhang called up the soldiers under the city wall, and all the troops concentrated on the city wall.
As the cloud chariot got closer and closer, the archer at the top began to shoot arrows, occasionally taking away the lives of Ming soldiers.
At this moment, panic spread on the city walls. Most people felt uneasy and even had the urge to turn around and flee.
Among the nearly two thousand soldiers, most of them had only been recruited for a few days. It was their first time to actually go to the battlefield. At this moment, not escaping could be regarded as Zhu Jinzhang's good command.
The cloud car got closer and closer, and when the distance was only seven or eight meters, stones were thrown from the city wall to attack.
They attacked the soldiers pushing the cart below. Although there were shields on their heads below, there were inevitably some omissions.
But even if a few people were knocked down, it did not affect the overall progress of the cloud car. In the end, the cloud car leaned against the city wall.
It was at this moment that the front baffle of the cloud vehicle was lowered, and the soldiers who were prepared inside held shields and threw two "grenades" from inside.
Looking at the smoking thing on the ground, everyone on the city wall didn't know what was going on. Then the next moment they heard two loud "bang" sounds, and two empty spaces were blown out of the city wall.
Because there were so many people crowded up there, the killing effect was particularly good. At least 70 or 80 people were killed and injured.
Inside the cloud chariot, Yong soldiers rushed up to the city wall, and they easily occupied the city wall.
Due to the explosion, the Ming soldiers at both ends of the city wall were still in a state of confusion. They instinctively retreated as they watched the Yong army kill them.
"Hold it, hold it all!" Zhu Jinzhang shouted in the distance.
At the other end, Zhu Xiaohe also shouted: "If you lose, you will die, fight them!"
When the Yong army occupied the 56-meter city wall, the Ming army soldiers began to really resist, which at least slowed down the Yong army's advance.
The hand-to-hand fighting began on the city wall, which was the bloodiest and most violent scene.
"Kill..." Yongjun soldiers shouted.
Although there were many defenders on the city wall, only fifty or sixty people actually fought because the space on the city wall was too small.
While they were fighting fiercely on the city wall, other Yong soldiers were also climbing up the city wall using their own methods.
Some climb up on cloud ladders, and some climb along the city wall on cloud carts. The efficiency of passage is not equally high.
I just heard an officer yelling: "Get on the city wall, immediately go down from the other side of the city wall, and then outflank the rebels defending the city!"
This was all a plan discussed in advance, and at the moment they were just following the plan.
The soldiers rushed up to the city wall, then An Anxin lifted the ladder up and set it up under the city wall.
The Ming army never thought that they would run directly to the city. There were no defensive soldiers under the city walls, so the Yong army soldiers could enter the city safely.
One hundred, two hundred, four hundred...
More and more soldiers entered the city. They did not rush to seize the streets, but followed the steps on the inside of the city wall and went directly to the city wall to kill.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Ming army struggled to hold on. If they had not been afraid of defeat and death, they would have abandoned their weapons and fled long ago.
"Hold on and take back the city wall!" Zhu Jinzhang shouted.
Even now, Zhu Jinzhang still wants to take back the city wall, which shows how unwilling he is.
At the other end, Zhu Xiaohe shouted: "Kill...kill!"
But at this moment, someone behind Zhu Xiaohe said in horror: "Sir, the army is coming from the north!"
"Go to the north and resist them!" Zhu Xiaohe roared.
So a group of soldiers turned around and went to resist the Yong army soldiers who came up the wall from the other side.
Zhu Xiaohe's furious voice directly revealed his location, and he saw a smoking thing speeding towards him.
Then there was another big explosion, with Zhu Xiaohe as the center and a gap of six or seven meters around. At least thirty people were killed, including Zhu Xiaohe.
This time, the Ming soldiers who were resisting in front were directly defeated in their fighting courage, so some soldiers began to throw away their weapons and flee.
More and more soldiers fled. Looking at this scene, Zhu Jinzhang knew that the end was over.
But he would not give up. Instead, he personally held the knife and rushed to the front. At the same time, he reminded: "Hold them, hold them back!"
Even he personally charged. The Ming army, which was already in a state of despair, mustered up some courage to fight again, but the outcome was actually doomed.
"Defeat them..." Baihu, who led the team, shouted loudly.
"Kill..."
"kill……"
The morale of the Yong army soldiers is high. They just want to end the battle as soon as possible, and they can hold a celebration banquet in the city tonight.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Yong Army attacked more and more fiercely, and at the same time shouted the slogan "surrender without killing", so the fighting will of the soldiers of the Ming Army collapsed a lot at this moment.
Defeat was a foregone conclusion, and Zhu Jinzhang's face was ashen.
At this moment, a voice came from behind Zhu Jinzhang: "Brother, retreat first!"
The person who came was Zhu Xiaoan. Although he had been dismissed from all his posts, he was now promoted.
"Evacuate? Where to retreat?" Zhu Jinzhang's face turned ashen.
"Take down the city wall first!" Zhu Xiaoan shouted, dragging Zhu Jinzhang back.
