Chapter 224: All sides

Henan should be foolproof, and Shanxi also has a large army. The person in charge is Wang Guozhen, the governor of Xuanda, who is also an experienced veteran. He controls the three comforts and three towns in Shanxi. The most important thing is that Xuanda, who has not been famous in later generations.

Governor, a veteran who is good at using cavalry, is also a person with outstanding military achievements in fighting against the Mongols for many years. He is also a decisive needle for the Shanxi border army. He has a very high prestige. The Fengyang Tomb Shou Army has also been dispatched to block the rebellion.

The army's march route to Fengyang, a place where dragons rise.

In addition, the large number of county soldiers, government soldiers and Macheng carefully planned the siege of all sides has been established.

The next two days, the rebels did not launch a siege, because they were not brave enough and were really scared by the inhumane official army. Standing on the city, you can clearly see that the number of rebels outside the city has decreased a lot.

There is a shortage of food and medicine. Every day, a large number of refugees leave the camp and go elsewhere to find something to fill their stomachs. The leaders of all bandits are unable to control them. Every day, dead people are carried out from the camp and buried in a hurry, just like hell.

Macheng is a heart-warming heart, and the whole area of ​​Shaanxi has been completely corrupt and can only continue to rot. The rebels must not be allowed to roam to Henan and Shanxi, which would be a huge disaster. The remaining rebels refused to leave.

He was unwilling to attack the city. He was really defeated and unbeaten, and he won and unbeaten, forming a stalemate inability to win and not defeat. However, the White Lotus Sect, the most powerful among the bandits, still did not give up. Every few days, a large number of sects were sent to test

Siege the city.

A large number of White Lotus Cult members were naked, with their eyes closed and they were dying under the city wall like zombies. The cult troubles made the tired Ming army a little scared. The accumulated arrows could not withstand such consumption, so Ma Cheng ordered the abandonment of the city wall.

The exhausted soldiers were stuffed into the second line of defense and defended the city. The depressed rebels outside the city suddenly became excited when they saw the official army retreating, and the White Lotus Cult is even more crazy and climbing up the city wall with no chance of death.

The defenders on the city resisted a little and were defeated on the whole line.

Kill a thousand steps away, the second line of defense is waiting for the army.

Ma Cheng was still standing behind the formation, looking at the layers of wooden stakes, fortifications in front, and a large number of rockets and trains installed on the train. This was the first time that Ma Cheng had seen a built-in train used on a wheelbarrow.

The rocket, similar to the rocket launch nest in later generations, also has several upper and lower layers, and can be stacked to six layers with 160 arrows. There are bird guns and two armor-piercing guns on both sides of the train. As a trainer's melee weapon

Used. Datong Town Army and Jingying are equipped with a wide variety of trains, including various types such as bees, fire dragons coming out of water, fire chariots, etc. The advantage is that the firepower density is that it has no accuracy, and it cannot be used as a disposable firearm.

The most fatal defect of repeated use is that it is extremely susceptible to moisture, damage and low reliability.

Despite this, trains are still a powerful tool to deal with bandits and are especially suitable for defending the city.

The big bandits, the White Lotus Cult, frantically crossed the city wall and rushed into the city. There were some young and strong refugees in the middle, and everyone in front was extremely frenzy. There was food in the city, a mountain of white flour, and there were also those transported from Jiangnan.

Eat white rice with full grains and leaves a fragrance for a mouthful of lips and teeth, which is enough for hundreds of thousands of people to eat for a year. This is the rumors spreading everywhere by Fu Zonglong. The temptation of rice and white flour made the bandits crazy.

Within a thousand steps from the city wall to the second line of defense, the houses were demolished and the field of view was good.

A thousand steps away was not far away, and the bandits flocked in were so close that they could even see their ferocious expressions. They were roaring in front to enhance their courage.

"The city is broken, the city is broken!"

"Kill the dog official and grab the food!"

As the roaring sounded, Datong Governor, who was pressing the formation in front, turned around from time to time, saw Ma Cheng wave his hand heavily, and ordered the rocket to be cast as if he was relieved. Torches ignited the external fire twisters, and in a flash, the whistling sound of the air shattering sound was shaking.

It became a piece of choking smoke rose, making the two armies extremely visibility in front of the formation very low. Ma Cheng took the wet wipes to cover his mouth and nose, and felt a sense of time and space disorder.

Two hundred trains were launched together, as if they were in a modern battlefield, and the smoke choked on the gunpowder.

The whistling rocket lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the smoke was burning. Scattered rockets were still dragging the fire from time to time, like large fireworks set off during festivals. A gust of wind blew and smoke gradually dispersed.

I noticed that the wind was rising and dark clouds covered the sun. It was going to rain at this time. The awe-inspiring expression turned into God's blessing. If the rain fell, the firearm in the hand of Shenjiying would turn into a fire stick.

Thunder sounded, the sky suddenly turned dark and gloomy, and lightning and thunder were heard.

The smoke of gunpowder finally dissipated, and the soldiers of the officials were speechless by the tragic situation in front of the two armies. Various arrows were inserted within a radius of one thousand steps, and the bodies stretched from the front of the formation to the foot of the city wall.

The groans of the wounded also overshadowed the thunder. The two city walls between the east and west are still in a bloody battle, but the Ximen here is dead silent. In such a unique battlefield environment, the tactic of the dense firepower covering the shooting of Macheng is extremely exerted.

.

The rockets carried by Datong soldiers were cast in a quarter of an hour, but the effect was too good.

Even the train soldiers with black and gray faces were trembling, unable to believe that the blood-flowing slaughterhouse was made by themselves. After a thunder, crackling hail fell, and the hail as big as an egg hit no response.

The corpse was soon covered with a thick layer on the ground. The huge hail slammed on the helmet, making the Ma Fu and his eyes dark. God was angry and this year, there should be no grains in Shaanxi.

As the storm fell, the big bandits were poured into a basin of cold water and stopped their troops.

Even the shouts of killing on the city walls on both sides of the east and west gradually subsided. Li Kaiyuan shouted excitedly in the thunder of the mountain of lightning: "The sky opens its eyes, God has eyes!"

Ma Cheng's face was expressionless but his heart was relaxed. It was God who helped such a weather. No bandits outside the city could go anywhere. At least there were houses in the city to shelter from the rain, but there was no cover outside the city outside the city.

After the heavy rain, more refugees should die of starvation. Looking at the disarray of battlefields, ordering to go to private houses to shelter from the rain, leaving only some soldiers on the top of the city to monitor the bandits' army, and ordering the soldiers to make ginger soup and medicine to drive away the cold

.

At night, the county government office.

The dark light in the county government office was a little chilling, and more than ten chief officials sat and chatted with each other very relaxed. The general Datong Chancellor, who had made contributions, was extremely excited and respectful. The man's surname was Jiang and his name was Denggao, who was from Zhili, the capital, and was also Xuan.

The confidant of the Grand Governor Wang Guozhen, also a member of the garrison of Dengzhou, Li Sishui, and the inspector of Tongling, was a favorite general under Fu Zonglong. More than ten officials sat and chatted with each other, and soon a doctor gave ginger rice and red date soup.

Fu Zonglong held the soup bowl and said leisurely: "After this setback, the thieves should be unable to attack the city again."

The left and right generals agreed one after another, and the bloody courage of the rebel bandits fell as the heavy rain fell, and it should have been almost wiped out.
