Beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Fu's forehead, and his palms were stained with sweat. This was the first time he faced such a big thing, shouldering the lives of 30,000 soldiers in five guards and the entrustment of Zhang Wen, Lan Zhen and others.
, for a moment, it seemed as if a heavy stone was pressing on him, making him unable to breathe.
Zhang Fu felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, as if it would jump out of his chest at any time.
'What should I do? What's going on with the advance army led by Chang Jizong now? Logically speaking, the two thousand advance army is not that easy to fail, let alone the whole army is annihilated, but if something unreasonable happens,
What? This is an army of 30,000 people, and there is one Hansei Zuowei, your majesty's heartthrob. If we suffer a disastrous defeat and suffer heavy losses, I will never redeem myself!'
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "General Zhang!"
Zhang Fu raised his head and saw Xu Jingchang standing next to him, saying something. "General Zhang, the three armies are in harm's way, so he hesitates the most. No matter what order you give at this time, it is better than standing here and not giving any order!"
"But, what if I make a mistake?" Under heavy pressure, Zhang Fu said something he would never say normally.
At this time, Xu Jingchang had realized that Zhang Fu had panicked under the heavy pressure and didn't know what to do. He ignored any etiquette, grabbed his arm, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you are the one who stands out from the crowd."
I believe that with His Majesty’s wisdom, you will never appoint a loser as a General!”
"But," Zhang Fu still hesitated.
"Nothing!" Xu Jingchang shouted with a louder voice: "His Majesty thinks you are a talented person, so you must be a talented person! Think about what His Majesty told you before setting off!"
Suddenly, Zhang Fu remembered what Yunxi said when he appointed him as a staff general, facing his low self-confidence:
"Zhang Fu, you are a talented person, why can't you be appointed as a deputy general? If you were not too junior and too young, I would have appointed you as a deputy general."
"As for the instability in the army, before the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Gongjin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Sun-Liu coalition. Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Sun Jian veterans were dissatisfied, but after Zhou Yu took office, he was very orderly and well-organized, which impressed all the generals. In my opinion,
It seems that you are a more talented general than Zhou Gongjin, and you will definitely be able to solve the unstable morale of your troops. I believe in my own vision."
"I am waiting for the report to be sent to the capital to report the great achievements of your commander-in-chief."
Thinking of this, Zhang Fu suddenly felt a surge of courage in his heart, got rid of Xu Jingchang's hand, and said, "I understand."
He immediately said loudly: "Sirs! Chang Jizong and Chang Qianshi led the leading troops to sneak into Duobang City, which has made the military morale in the city unstable and the people's hearts turbulent. The artillery team at the head of the city is just trying to use cannons to scare us. As long as they rush to
Climb to the top of the city and their whole army will collapse."
"You are the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. All of you have chopped off the heads of at least a few barbarians! The Annan people are just barbarians, and you are still afraid of a few barbarians!"
"After the Duobang City was captured in this battle, all the soldiers were allowed to plunder the city for three days. Every bit of the proceeds went to the soldiers and I took no money. If the superiors were to pursue this matter, all the responsibilities would be borne by me alone and would not have anything to do with the other soldiers.
"
After saying this, he didn't give them time to think, straightened the helmet on his head, pulled out his knife from his waist, and shouted loudly: "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road, soldiers charge with me!" He rushed towards Duobang at the lead!
city.
Xu Jingchang tied the rope on his helmet, took off the musket from his back, and shouted loudly: "If you die, you will face the sky, if you don't die for tens of millions of years, charge!" and followed Zhang Fu.
Encouraged by the two of them, the Ming army, which had stopped advancing, became inspired again, picked up weapons in their hands, and rushed toward Duobang City with howls.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fu had led them to the foot of Duobang City. He held the ladder against the top of the city and was about to climb up the ladder.
The Annan man on the top of the city reacted very quickly. As soon as he climbed up the ladder, the ladder was pushed down. He kicked his feet back, turned to one side, avoided the fallen ladder, and tried to raise the ladder again.
.
At the same time, dozens of ladders were set up against the city head, and countless soldiers climbed up the ladders; the soldiers of the Hangzhou Zuowei stretched their bows and shot arrows at the city head, and dozens of Annan soldiers who were about to push down the ladders were hit by arrows.
They fell from the top of the city while wailing, and their brains burst from the fall. Even if there were a few lucky ones who were not killed by the fall, they were hacked to death by the Ming army below the city, leaving no intact corpses.
The Annan people at the top of the city immediately poured boiling water down. Many soldiers were immediately burned and ran around howling. The cannons were also replaced with shotguns and fired at the city. Many people were hit by small stones and fell to the ground.
.
Xu Jingchang only heard a "dang" sound. A stone hit his helmet and bounced off. It passed by his eyes and fell to the ground. The whole helmet was shaken. After waiting for a while, there was no such sound anymore.
He stood up from the ground and shouted loudly: "Where are the soldiers of the Habayashi Guards! Quick, pick up your muskets and shoot at the city gate!" He raised his musket first and fired at about the door bolt.
Gun shooting.
There are no enemies in front of them now, and there are no enemies in armor and neatly lined up. The soldiers of the Yulin left guard with muskets in their hands didn't know what to do. After hearing Xu Jingchang's words, they didn't care whether they were right or not, and raised their guns and pointed them at the city gate.
Shooting. Although the accuracy of muskets in this era is very questionable, it is still possible to shoot at a target ten or twenty feet away. Thousands of projectiles were fired at the city gate in a short period of time, and the city gate cave was suddenly filled with smoke.
Xu Jingchang endured the thick smoke, while loading gunpowder and projectiles, he approached the city gate, raised his foot and kicked it over. The city gate shook violently, but it was not kicked open.
At this time, his soldiers had also come over, and they all kicked in together, but the city gate was still not kicked open. Xu Jingchang had already loaded the projectiles and gunpowder, compacted them with sticks, and shouted: "Everyone, stand back.
, shoot again!”
In an instant, thousands more projectiles were fired at the city gate. There was only a "pull" sound, and no one knew which projectile hit the door bolt. The door bolt broke, and the city gate opened a gap under the kinetic energy of the projectiles.
.
Xu Jingchang was overjoyed and was about to rush to the city gate when he suddenly thought of something. He took a grenade from his waist, approached the edge of the city gate, kicked it hard to make the gap wider, waved his arm and threw the grenade in. Then he threw the grenade in.
Following his actions, many Ming soldiers who gathered around also took off their grenades and threw them in.
Just as these grenades were thrown in, several arrows were shot out from the city gate. Several Ming soldiers facing the city gate were hit by arrows and fell to the ground unprepared.
But at this time, the grenade they threw in also exploded. In such a small area as the city gate, the power of the grenade was maximized. Continuous screams were heard inside the city gate, even though the battlefield was full of roars at this time. , they also heard these sounds very clearly.
