Chapter 348 A never-seen-before style of play
"Shanxi Army? As fierce as a tiger, why are they surrounding Zhangjiakou?"
Fan Sanchun was a little confused when he heard that Meng Ruhu led the Shanxi army to besiege the city.
Zhangjiakou is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu, so why should the Shanxi army besiege Zhangjiakou?
Also, as a businessman, Fan Yongdou has better intelligence capabilities than him.
Before he knew it, the Fan family had already sent someone to inform him.
He didn't have time to feel embarrassed. He reacted and immediately got dressed and rushed to the south gate.
He wanted to see who was besieging Zhangjiakou.
When Fan Sanchun arrived at the south gate, the sky was already bright and he could clearly see the troops under the city.
At this time, the army under the city had already hoisted large flags. Among the many flags, the high-pole avenue flag was particularly obvious, with a large word "Meng" on it fluttering in the wind.
"Nima, it's really the Shanxi Army that's as fierce as a tiger. What do you want to do?"
Seeing that the Shanxi Army had indeed arrived, Fan Sanchun couldn't help but feel annoyed and angry, and at the same time a little helpless.
He is just a guerrilla general, as fierce as a tiger, but he is the chief military officer, several levels above him.
But the strange thing is that the Shanxi Army actually stood still. They neither attacked the city nor allowed them to leave the city. They just surrounded Zhangjiakou City tightly.
Just when Fan Sanchun was at a loss, he suddenly saw dust flying in the distance and another army arriving.
The army that came did not display any flags, and was all cavalry.
Putting aside Fan Sanchun, let's talk about being as fierce as a tiger. After receiving the report of the arrival of Long Teng's army, he immediately left the camp to meet him.
When he saw Sun Yingyuan, he was as fierce as a tiger and immediately urged his horse forward, cupping his hands and smiling:
"Haha, it's been a long time, General Sun. How about you go in and have a cup of tea first?"
Sun Yingyuan returned the gift:
"Thank you for your hard work, General. I did not delay the execution of my orders. Let's have a drink when the mission is completed!"
Fierce as a tiger nodded:
"Okay, I'll definitely have a nice drink, and I hope the general can say more kind words in front of the Crown Prince in the future!"
Even though Meng Ruhu is now at the same level as Sun Yingyuan, Sun Yingyuan is the prince's personal soldier and will be a worthy member of the Ming Dynasty in the future. However, he has no one in the court and can only guard the border in Shanxi!
The crown prince is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Which civil servant and military general would not want to curry favor with him.
As for those ministers who opposed the crown prince, it can be said that they are all short-sighted.
For the sake of family interests, they thought they could unite to fight against the crown prince, but little did they know that only destruction was waiting for them.
As a Mongolian, once he follows the crown prince and makes his wife a wife, eight generations of his ancestors will happily jump out of their graves.
Sun Yingyuan smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, General, as long as this mission can be successfully completed, the Crown Prince will never treat you badly!"
"Thank you, General Sun!"
Fierce as a Tiger waved his hand, and the Shanxi Army immediately moved to both sides to make way for the Long Teng Army.
Sun Yingyuan took the lead, followed closely by the Longteng Army. The archers of the Shanxi Army near the city gate immediately drew their bows to full length, ready to release arrows at the top of the city to cover the Longteng Army.
Sun Yingyuan raised Shang Fang's sword high and shouted towards the city:
"I am here to protect the country, Sun Yingyuan, on the order of the Crown Prince to patrol the city and open the city gate quickly!"
Sun Yingyuan's words caused chaos in the city. A general banner hurriedly shouted:
"The Crown Prince's National Guard Army is here too, please open the city gate quickly..."
No matter how stupid Fan Sanchun was, he realized something was wrong at this time. The Shanxi Army was besieging the city and the National Guard Army was about to enter the city. What should they do?
Before Fan Sanchun could speak, the manager of the Fan family hurried up to the tower and shouted:
"If we can't open the door, the National Guard Army will definitely come to take over Zhangjiakou. Once we open the door, it will be all over.
Guard the city gate and wait for foreign aid. Each of the defending soldiers in the city will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver..."
Most of Zhangjiakou's officers and men were bribed by Shanxi merchants. Everyone turned pale when they heard the words of the manager of the Fan family.
Fan Sanchun finally realized at this time that his guerrilla general was also bought with money from the Fan family. Without the Fan family, he was nothing.
For the sake of the Fan family and other Shanxi merchants, and for his own life, Fan Sanchun immediately drew his sword and shouted loudly:
"Stand firm at the city gate, and each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Anyone who falsely opens the door will be punished on the spot!"
Seeing no one responding at the top of the city, Sun Yingyuan was furious. He waved his hand and sent an order:
"The muskets are ready to fire at the top of the city, the mortars are ready to fire, and the throwing team is ready to blow open the city gate!"
"Here!"
The National Guard Army immediately began preparations.
When Fierce Tiger saw the opportunity to make a meritorious deed, he hurriedly ordered to shoot arrows at the top of the city:
"Quick, shoot arrows to suppress the archers on the city wall!"
"Whizzing……"
Five hundred archers from the Shanxi Army immediately shot arrows at the top of the city, and arrows rained down instantly.
The soldiers at the top of the city did not expect that the people below would attack the city directly, and more than a hundred people were hit by arrows without any precautions.
At this time, ten AK gunners had already urged their horses forward, reining in their horses and raising the AK47 out of the range of the bow and arrow.
Almost at the same time, twenty mortars were set up not far behind the gunman, waiting for Sun Yingyuan's order to fire.
Sun Yingyuan turned around and asked the general flag of the throwing team:
"Is the throwing team ready?"
The commander-in-chief hurriedly replied:
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the general's order!"
Sun Yingyuan nodded:
"The Shanxi Army retreated, and the National Defense Army opened fire!"
Many people on the top of the city had just been hit by arrows. At this time, they had raised their shields, and some people were hiding under the crenellations. The archers also began to fire arrows at the Shanxi army below.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
Suddenly a burst of gunfire rang out, and hundreds of bullets flew towards the city in an instant.
"Bang bang..."
"Puff puff……"
The shield in the defender's hand was instantly penetrated by the AK47 fire like a thin piece of paper, and the soldiers behind the shield were directly killed.
Seeing the ten repeating guns spitting out their fury, not to mention the defenders, even the Fierce Tigers and Shanxi Army were instantly stunned. Such ferocious firearms were far beyond their knowledge.
Ten AK47s fired 300 rounds of ammunition in one salvo, then loaded and fired again in one breath:
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The first round of volley fire from the National Guard Army easily killed more than a hundred defenders, and the second round of fire killed all visible targets.
The city was in chaos, and the defenders were running in all directions to escape for their lives.
But before the gunfire stopped, twenty mortars started firing again:
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Fifteen of the twenty mortar shells landed on the top of the city, injuring several defenders.
A garrison commander was in a daze looking at the unknown object that hit his head. Suddenly the unknown object exploded:
"Rumble..."
Zong Qi and dozens of people around him were instantly blown away...
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen mortars exploded one after another, and blood and flesh flew everywhere on the city.
At least a hundred people were killed and more than a hundred were injured.
But before the defenders could react, more than a dozen mortar shells landed on the top of the city:
"Rumble..."
The head of the Fan family was also blown up into the sky this time, and a dozen soldiers in front of Fan Sanchun were also killed in the explosion.
Although there were more than a dozen soldiers covering him, one of Fan Sanchun's ears was still cut off by shrapnel. He was so frightened that he screamed, rolled over and hid in the archery tower!
The souls of other defenders who were not affected by the shells were frightened and basically fled down the city...
Seeing that no one could be seen on the top of the city, Sun Yingyuan waved his hand:
"Enter the throwing team!"
"Here!"
The commander-in-chief of the Longteng Army took the order and personally led a dozen of his men to rush to the city gate with explosive packs in their hands.
They piled explosive packets under the city gate, then lit them and quickly returned to their formation.
The actions of the National Guard Army were as fierce as tigers and the Shanxi Army was dumbfounded.
Not only had I never seen a repeating gun, but the little iron cannon that could fire explosive shells quickly was even unheard of.
A sudden burst and a burst of roar directly wiped out the defenders on the city.
What is the operation now? What are you doing by putting a bag under the city gate? Why don’t you crash the door as soon as possible...
