For several consecutive days, the sound of cannons was rumbling. The sound of cannons was clearly heard by the camps that were more than ten miles away. The camps in the central army had long been used to this kind of cannon sound. The new army was still in the same practice and was infected by this atmosphere. The other battalions also began to work hard. Although they were just pretending, the atmosphere of preparation for war was very strong. The camps that were ten miles long were continuous and full of murderous spirit.
Liu Chengfeng was naturally not in a hurry to attack the city. In fact, no one expected that his so-called artillery battalion training was such a method. Doing so could not only improve the abilities of the new recruits and allow the new recruits to mature at the fastest speed. On the other hand, it could also disrupt the morale of the rebels, kill and injure the rebels a large number of fortifications and destroy the opponent's fortifications.
Things went very smoothly. In the face of powerful strength, even if King Ning had any conspiracy, it would be futile. Now, the so-called siege game has become a martial arts training ground for Liu Chengfeng to test the new army.
In Nanchang City, various news was also conveyed from the city through various means. In the camp, a new secret report was placed on Liu Chengfeng's desk. All the generals in the camp were gathered. Liu Chengfeng sat firmly on the chair, staring at everyone with his tiger eyes, and finally knocked the table with his fists, attracting everyone's eyes, and then said: "The rebel Zhu Jinjun was very rude. He first bewitched people and fooled the ignorant people with the name of clearing the emperor. Now he is at the end of the road, but he is still stubborn. A few days ago, someone in the city asked King Ning to bow his head and tie him up. What does this mean? It means that the morale of the army in the city has been shaken and the rebels have been desperate."
Liu Chengfeng paused here. Then he smiled coldly and said, "But Zhu Jinjun is not only unwilling to surrender. Instead, he is extremely vicious and kills all the subordinates who persuade him to surrender to show his determination to resist." A cunning look flashed through Liu Chengfeng's eyes, and he said in a plain tone: "This traitor Zhu Jinjun is the best at winning people's hearts. He used to be a polite attitude, but this time he started killing and finally showed his ugly face. According to the imperial envoy's estimate, Zhu Jinjun is hopeless, and even he himself has a desperate heart, so he gave up at this time and showed off his tyranny. Everyone. The arrogant and domineering Zhu Jinjun is not scary. The more arrogant and domineering he is, the more vicious he is, the more he tells me that there is no threat to this person."
"It's today!" Liu Chengfeng sneered contemptuously and continued: "According to the latest news, Zhu Jinjun forced civil and military officials to hold a ceremony in the city today. He originally claimed to be the king, but now he is consciously trying to survive the emperor's end. He is in the mansion of King Na Ning. He wants to be a monkey and become the emperor..."
When talking about this, the civil and military officials in the city became terrified and talked a lot.
No wonder the city is so lively today. It is said that there are many sounds of firecrackers and salutes. It turns out that King Ning is crazy about gaining and wanting to ascend the throne.
If it were in the past, King Ning claimed to be the governor of the country and the Jingnan. Perhaps there was some legitimacy. After all, Emperor Wen's country was the Jingnan, and Emperor Taizu also had an order that if the emperors in later generations were stupid, the vassal kings could raise an army to Jingnan.
But it is really a very unwise act to be called emperor now, which means that Zhu Jinjun's last legitimacy has also been lost. Doing so will not benefit Zhu Jinjun at all.
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Zhu Jinjun did this because he was desperate and wanted to live the emperor's addiction. He was so ridiculous that he deceived himself. But then again, this man is a royal family. Once he really made him call himself emperor, the court's face is not very good, and even the emperor's face is not good. How can we watch the fire from the other side of the river when we eat the king's fortune? Zhu Jinjun is already in a turtle. Since that's the case, then from now on, the three armies will immediately attack the city, and there must be no mistakes!"
The transmission of Liu Chengfeng's order was indeed much earlier than he expected, but everyone could understand that things have evolved into political issues, not simply military issues. From a military perspective, siege is not the most appropriate time. The rebels in the city are in a passive attack. If they are bombarded for more than ten days, when their morale is disintegrating and the city walls and fortifications are full of holes, they will definitely succeed. But from a political perspective, the rebels in the city are preparing for the throne ceremony and are ready to be emperor, but the official troops outside the city are still slowing down and refusing to attack the city. This is a bit of a rebellious matter, so they must attack the city now, and even if they are in a good manner, they must act as a full play.
Whether the city can be captured is a matter of ability, but whether to attack or not is a matter of attitude.
If you don’t express this attitude, not only will the envoys talk too much, but the palace will be unhappy if you know it.
Although Liu Chengfeng was laughing at Ning Wang for giving up or losing his way, he really admired Zhu Jinjun in his heart. He was scheming and his wisdom was unfathomable.
On the surface, King Ning seemed to have taken a chess move, trying to lose legitimacy, and expose his true face to become emperor. However, Liu Chengfeng could vaguely guess that King Ning did this not because he wanted to be interested in the emperor, but because he knew in his heart that if the official army outside the city did not attack the city for one day, the artillery positions outside the city were shelling Nanchang one day, his military morale would become increasingly dispersed and his capital would become less and less.
Therefore, now, the good opportunity for King Ning is not to sit back and wait for death, but to force the government troops outside the city to attack Nanchang. Only a strong attack can offset the advantages of the government troops in artillery. The rebels can use the remaining fortifications to fight the government troops in and outside the city of Nanchang. No matter whether the official troops can capture the city, even if they capture it, they will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage themselves. But if they are not captured, then this victory will be enough to boost the morale of the rebels in the city, and King Ning can continue to defend.
It is not easy to force the official army to fight to the decisive battle. After all, the initiative is in the hands of the official army. However, once he ascended the throne, the initiative is in the hands of him, Zhu Jinjun. On the surface, it is ascending the throne, but in fact it is forcing the official army to attack the city. If the official army still sieges and does not attack during the ascension ceremony in the city, what will the court think and what will the palace think? Liu Chengfeng must attack.
This kind of person... really made Liu Chengfeng a little impressed. He has reached this point and is still playing with conspiracies. He seems to always want to take the initiative in his own hands. But...
Liu Chengfeng was already determined to attack. Originally, he just wanted to act like a show, and he could at least explain to the court and the palace. After he left some corpses, he would be unable to capture them in an anxious manner and withdrew the people. However, in the end, this idea was to save himself. But don't forget that this way can fool the court and the rebels in the city. When the rebels in the city failed to attack the city, they would soon be defeated. They would definitely think that the official army was just like this. The fear of the official army before would be eliminated. If King Ning took this opportunity to incite, the originally sluggish morale would soon rise. If it really reached this point, it would be even more unfavorable to the future attack. Instead of doing so, it would be better to stop now.
Liu Chengfeng's face became a little cruel, and he said slowly: "There is no two days, and there is no two masters in the earth. Zhu Jinjun was crazy and delusional, and dared to be the emperor! If we cannot force the city to attack the city before tomorrow, what kind of face should we be the emperor's ministers and have the face to receive the salary of the court. Now, we can only fight to the death. Everyone..." Liu Chengfeng looked around everyone, and his words just now made everyone put away their frivolous hearts and became extremely serious. Everyone knew that the most critical time to suppress the rebellion was coming!
Liu Chengfeng said: "Everyone, it is time to make achievements, and Feng Yin's wife will be at this time, and it is time to repay the emperor's kindness. Where is Yang Biao?"
Commander Yang Biao stood up and bowed and said, "I'm so humble."
Yang Biao and Liu Chengfeng were also a little frustrated. When he heard Liu Chengfeng calling him, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, for fear that Liu Chengfeng would take the opportunity to wear small shoes for him.
Liu Chengfeng said: "You bring your troops to the front line. Commander Yang, can you dare to use your life?"
Yang Biao is an impatient person. Liu Chengfeng actually said just now that the city is already filled with people's hearts. Whoever takes the lead is not only a great opportunity, but also a great risk. If he can seize the city or take his troops to climb the city wall first, Yang Biao will definitely be the first to make a contribution in this battle, but if something goes wrong, Yang Biao's head of his neck will probably not be protected.
Yang Biao seemed a little hesitant, but Liu Chengfeng looked at him and said slowly: "To be honest, I do have some personal grudges with you, but I will never abandon private matters for public purposes. The reason why I let you take the lead is that you are the most brave among the generals. Although the new army is useful, it is only good at firearms and is not suitable for attacking. Commander Yang will give you a correct statement. If you refuse, I will never make things difficult for you. Just give others another one."
After hearing Liu Chengfeng's heart-wrenching words, even though Yang Biao still suspected that Liu Chengfeng was deliberately seeking trouble for him, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Sir, I have a fate, how dare I disrespect my humbleness? I am willing to follow the dispatch."
"Okay." Liu Chengfeng looked at Yang Biao with appreciation, and then began to arrange the squadrons, rear teams, and the left and right wings that were covered at any time.
Qian Fang suddenly asked: "Sir, since you are attacking the city, which city gate should you start attacking?"
