Chapter 2118 Siege of Kaifeng City
"I just said it casually, I was just angry and wouldn't really dig the mouth of the Yellow River." Sun Chuang defended himself.
He himself knows it.
Unless the tiger flag does not intend to occupy Henan in the future, it will not do anything like digging the Yellow River embankment, which will hurt the enemy by 1,000 people.
Qin Rong said: "If you want me, we don't need to rush to take down Kaifeng Prefecture City at all. We can first take down all the surrounding prefectures and counties, establish a local peasant association regime, win the hearts of the people, and make Kaifeng Prefecture City an isolated city."
"When will this be surrounded?" Sun Chuang said unwillingly.
Qin Rong said: "Hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city will need a considerable expense every day. The better we build outside, the more people in the city will yearn outside the city, and then the time will not be
If we need to attack hard, they will open the city gate and welcome the army into the city."
"If we siege but do not attack, wouldn't it be a waste for so many of our troops to gather outside Kaifeng Prefecture?" Sun Chuang said.
Qin Rong said: "Since it's just a besieging city, there is naturally no need to leave so many soldiers outside Kaifeng Prefecture. We can send the extra troops to Zhangde Prefecture and Guide Prefecture and send troops to take down these two palaces."
"This is a solution." Chen Xunping nodded in agreement.
A strong attack can also capture Kaifeng Prefecture City, but hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of defenders in the city are the most unprofitable way for him.
He had a military division of less than 20,000 troops. In order to attack a Kaifeng Prefecture City, he destroyed several military camps, which was completely unworthy of the loss.
Qin Rong said again: "We can even bypass Kaifeng Prefecture and attack Daming Prefecture, and let the court force Yang He to leave the city and fight us."
"This method is good. If you want to attack Daming Mansion, I will be the first to ask for a fight." Sun Chuang said excitedly.
Daming Prefecture belongs to the capital. Although it is a little remote, it is still under the capital.
Attacking Daming Mansion is equivalent to using a knife to the capital, which shocks the capital more than a Kaifeng Mansion.
Chen Xunping said: "Don't hurry to attack Daming Mansion. Establish a farmer's association around Kaifeng Mansion. This matter will be captured by Chief Qin himself."
"Okay, I'll arrange the matters of the Farmers' Association." Qin Rong nodded and responded.
On the issue of the farmers' association, the tiger flag has already had its own process, and it only needs to grasp the big aspects.
Chen Xunping looked at Sun Chuang again and said, "The people in Kaifeng Prefecture City cannot stay in the city with peace of mind. They will shoot several shots every few times, which will also cheer them up."
"I'll make arrangements now." Sun Chuang grinned.
He was most happy to do something that caused trouble for Ming Jun.
Shortly after Sun Chuang left the tent, the roar of cannons sounded outside Kaifeng Prefecture.
Although the thick walls of Kaifeng Prefecture City are difficult to collapse by a few cannons, the cannons that leaped over the top of the city still caused a large amount of damage to the defenders guarding the city on the city wall.
"Strike back, fight back." The guard on the city wall loudly ordered the cannons on the city to fight back.
The city defense cannons on the city wall quickly fired.
Although it was not as loud as the many cannons of the tiger flag outside the city, it did indeed fight back.
However, when the cannon on the city wall was fired, its position was exposed, and it was soon concentrated by the cannon outside the city. Before the city could play a great role, the city defense cannon was destroyed by the cannon with the tiger flag outside the city.
Later, the defenders on the city did not dare to fire artillery and counterattack. When they saw the tiger flag army outside the city only fire artillery but not attacking the city, they simply hid with the defenders.
The cannon sound lasted for half an hour and finally stopped.
During the bombardment of Kaifeng Prefecture, except for the first dozen cannons bombarding Kaifeng Prefecture at the same time, when the city no longer fights back, only one or two cannons will be fired at each time, maintaining a shock to the city.
"How come these damn thieves get so many cannons? They fire like this every day without night or day, and they still won't let people sleep."
In the Zhou Palace, the current Zhou King Zhu Suqin cursed.
He was born in the 42nd year of Jiajing. He inherited the title of King of Zhou in the 14th year of Wanli. He served as the throne for more than 40 years. He is even sixty years old. He usually sleeps lightly. Now he is bombarded every day outside the city, and he is even more awake.
Can't sleep.
The young man can still rely on his body to be hard, but he is an old man in his sixties. After only a few days of his life, his body became worse and worse, and he was almost losing half his life.
"Don't rest ashamed of anger. It was because the rebels could not attack the city and could only fire artillery outside the city to disrupt our morale." Zhu Gongzi, the prince of the Zhou Dynasty, comforted.
King Zhu Suqin of Zhou lifted up his heavy eyelids, glanced at the prince of Zhou in front of him, and said, "How can I not be clear about what you said? But it is one thing to know, and whether it can be done is another time."
Things, if this continues outside the city, you can take over the throne sooner.”
"If the father-in-law President is a hundred years old, the small rebels will sooner or later be wiped out by the imperial army." Zhu Gongzi, the prince of Zhou, said hurriedly.
After being the prince for so many years, he naturally wanted to inherit the throne earlier, but he did not dare to reveal such things, but instead tried his best to conceal it.
Otherwise, a crime of disobedience and unfiliality would be enough to turn his wait for so many years into nothingness.
King Zhu Suqin of Zhou said: "If the rebels outside the city are not solved, where will I live a long life? Send someone to ask Yang Xiuling when he will go out of the city to quell the rebellion? If there is no money or food, I can support him.
He is some, as long as he can deal with the rebels outside the city sooner."
"Don't worry, my father, I'll ask someone to urge Mr. Yang to urge Mr. Yang. I think Mr. Yang is like us, and is also anxious to quell the rebels outside the city sooner." said Zhu Gongzi, the prince of the Zhou Dynasty.
King Zhu Suqin of Zhou said, "Then what are you still doing here? Why don't you go quickly!"
"I'll go now." Zhu Gongzi, the Crown Prince of Zhou, got up from the bed of King Zhou, bowed and retreated.
It is not convenient for the King of Zhou and the Crown Prince of Zhou to meet foreign officials. Such messaging matters are naturally handed over to the officials of the royal palace, and usually the chief of the royal palace comes forward.
In the lobby of Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen.
Yang He sat in the middle, with Chen Yongfu and other military generals on his right, and a group of civil servants from Henan and Kaifeng Prefectures on his left.
"Tell me! How should the rebels outside the city solve the problem?" Yang He asked the civil and military officials in front of him.
The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture took a step forward and said: "In recent days, the rebels kept firing into the city, but there was no way to attack the city. This move shows that the rebels were not sure to capture Kaifeng Prefecture. The officials thought it was better to rebel outside the city.
When the army relaxed its vigilance, it quietly sent a group of troops to attack the rebel camp. As long as the rebel general was killed, the rebels would collapse without fighting, and the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture would naturally be lifted."
"Who Lin Futai thinks is suitable for sneak attacking the rebel camp?" Yang He asked.
Prefect Lin said: "A sneak attack on the rebel camp naturally requires a strong general. Chen Zhijun's command is full of strong generals. I think there is no shortage of such a general."
