In the Ming Dynasty, military generals were often synonymous with elite troops. They ate well, dressed well, had sufficient food and salary, were well-trained, well-equipped, and had strong combat power. They were the killer moves of each military general. More importantly, they had a relationship with their masters, and they both prospered and lost. Therefore, they fought a war with a considerable life.

Because the cost of raising family servants is very high, even the generals cannot afford to support too many family servants, so the generals are reluctant to use them until the last moment. However, once the servants are put into use, it means that the decisive battle has come. Both the generals and the servants will definitely fight to the death and sacrifice their lives. During the Wanli period, the eight thousand family servants of the Liaodong General Li Chengliang were a typical exception.

"Sir... are there a little fewer people in our lives?" Feng Yangyi finally plucked up the courage and asked Zhang Zhun carefully.

"There is only so many troops I can use now." Zhang Zhun said lightly.

"This..." Feng Yangyi was speechless.

Since Zhang Zhun is sure to win, what are he worried about doing?

Seize the rare opportunity and relax!

From Fushansou to Xiahe City, there are dozens of nautical miles of water. The warships are not sailing very quickly, and they probably can only arrive after nightfall. The night gradually descends, and the sky and the earth are dim, and the dark sea surface cannot see any light at all. The moon in the sky is hazy, as if it is covered with a layer of gauze, which looks particularly enchanting. The moon is cold and the sea breeze is pleasant, which is really a good season for travel and leisure.

Around the Xu hour, Yang Guohua directed the warships to slowly dock.

Feng Yangyi looked around and said strangely: "Sir, Langya Mountain is still in front of you, and you haven't arrived yet."

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "We won't go to Langya Mountain."

Feng Yangyi was slightly stunned and said in a daze: "Ah?"

If you don’t go to Langya Mountain, won’t you save his companions?

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "We will attack Xiahe City directly."

Feng Yangyi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Zhang Zhun wanted to surround Wei and save Zhao!

Xiahe City is the core of the rule of the Qianhu House of Xiahe Village. The subordinates of the officers in the institute are all in the city. All the supplies and weapons are also in the city. As long as Zhang Zhun and his friends attack Xiahe City, the officers and soldiers of Langya Mountain nearby must return to support quickly. The encirclement of Langya Mountain naturally collapsed. Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is the oldest tactic and the most effective tactic. We are not afraid that the officers and soldiers near Langya Mountain will not be moved.

"Who!"

"stop!"

Sudden shouts came.

Near the pier of Xiahezhai, there are patrol posts of officers and soldiers.

They found the guards.

"Bang bang bang!"

After several consecutive gunshots, everything returned to silence.

The guards were attacking Xiahe City openly and forcing the officers and soldiers of Langya Mountain to return to the rescue. There was no need to hide the truth from the world. Therefore, Zhong Wuying and others used the Hu Ben gun to solve the enemy sentinels. As soon as the gunshot sounded, Xiahe City would become nervous. Xiahe City was nervous, and the officers and soldiers near Langya Mountain would take action.

After dealing with the sporadic sentinels, other guard soldiers also landed one after another and rushed towards Xiahe City. Because there was no need to cover up their actions, they all rushed towards Xiahe City. While walking, they also fired guns from time to time to ensure that the enemies of Langya Mountain in the distance could hear the movements here.

Yang Guohua and others brought short muskets to protect the warship. The order Zhang Zhun gave them was to temporarily drive the warship to the sea outside and return to the dock at dawn tomorrow.

"Feng Yangyi, contact everyone you can contact."

"There are as many people as you like, the more people, the better. It's okay for the elderly and children to make up the numbers!"

"Tell them that before midnight, arrive at the south gate of Xiahe City and prepare to attack the city! If you cannot reach the south gate, then block the retreat of everyone in the city at other gates!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly to Feng Yangyi.

Feng Yangyi went away excitedly.

Zhang Zhun soon arrived outside the south gate of Xiahe City.

Xiahe City in the dark is indeed very majestic, at least much more majestic than Fushan City. I am afraid that even the acropolis of Lingshan Guard is not as tall and strong as Xiahe City. After all, Xiahe City is an ancient city of history. The height of the city wall is estimated to be more than five meters high. For such a solid city, if you use a ladder to attack, there will be great casualties.

There should be some defenders in the city, and they are quite alert to the movements outside the city. After the gunshots, all defenders immediately come up to the city wall. When they find unknown teams arrive, the defenders are ready to fight and light a bonfire on the top of the city. It is obvious that they are asking for help from the officers and soldiers of Langya Mountain in the distance.

"What's the situation in the city?" Zhang Zhun asked Feng Yangyi.

"At most, there are only a few dozen defenders, and the others are temporarily organized. The main force of the officers and soldiers is in the area of ​​Langya Mountain to the south. Wu Jie from Qianhu is also in the south." Feng Yangyi said affirmatively.

After conveying Zhang Zhun's order, Feng Yangyi quickly returned to Zhang Zhun's side. Then, the military households arrived at the south gate of Xiahe City one after another. After they were disbanded by the officers and soldiers, they were each looking for a place to hide. Now they received the news and gathered again. However, their number was not large. Because, when the officers and soldiers suppressed the riot, they did kill many people.

Zhang Zhun and his team saw many corpses along the way, including women, elderly people, and children, which were obviously exterminated by the whole family. The corpses were arranged neatly and the smell of being displayed was very strong. The indiscriminate slaughtering method of officers and soldiers would only arouse greater anger among the military households, thus bringing disaster to themselves and their families. The words of blood debt and blood repayment, and using violence to fight violence are usually not feasible in later generations, but in the late Ming Dynasty, it was the most common thing. Since they took action, they would destroy the family and never leave any future troubles. Benevolent and kind people had already died.

There are still a large number of corpses around Xiahe City that have not been cleaned up. They should be left behind when attacking Xiahe City during the day. The air is covered with a suffocating smell of blood. Judging from the number and posture of these corpses, the battle during the day should be quite fierce. Unfortunately, the weapons and tactics of the Xiahe Village military households are too poor to conquer such a strong city.

By midnight, about 500 military households gathered outside the south gate of Xiahe City. In addition to Feng Yangyi, there were several other backbones. They were very grateful to them when they heard that Zhang Zhun personally led the team to reinforce. They also said that they must be the only one who followed Zhang Zhun's lead and completely followed Zhang Zhun's arrangements.

Zhang Zhun didn't have too many words, just to prepare all the military households. After the guards entered the city, they were responsible for expanding the results of the war, revenge and revenge. At the same time, they rescued their detained relatives. The number of people in the guards was too large, so they could only be responsible for destroying the enemy's main force. The military households still had to do other things themselves.

When the military households heard this, they were naturally even more excited. Zhang Zhun's meaning was obviously to give them a chance to avenge them. The relatives of Wu Jie and others were all in the city, and other officers at all levels, or relatives were also in the city. As long as the city was broken, these people were the targets for their anger. After the officers and soldiers killed so many military households, it was their turn to suffer.

After giving the orders, Zhang Zhun began to prepare weapons for siege.

The soldiers placed a large burlap bag in front of Zhang Zhun, and Zhang Zhun carefully inserted a rope for it. There were many cloth strips tied up on the burlap bag, as if it was wrapped with an extremely large square zongzi. The military households in Xiahe Village did not recognize what this was.

"Sir, what is this?" Feng Yangyi asked curiously.

"Explosive pack." Zhang Zhun replied casually.

These explosive packs were originally used by Zhang Zhun to attack Jimo County. That day, he observed that the city walls of Jimo County were also very high. If the ladder was used, there would definitely be a lot of casualties. If you use cannons, the hit rate was too low. I don’t know how long it would take to explode the city gate. Instead of delaying time, it would be better to take the most direct and violent method: explode the city gate.

Some copper oxide is added to these black explosives to enhance the power of the explosion. Copper oxide can effectively enhance the explosive power of black explosives. As long as one pound of black explosives is added with about one pound, a large car can be blown up. If there are more than ten pounds, it can almost overturn a building. However, copper oxide is not easy to do, and it is impossible to produce in large quantities. Therefore, it can only be used in the most critical places.

The explosive pack was ready soon, and Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Firepower cover!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The guards shot in a mess.

Minnie bombs hit the walls of Xiahe City, splashing fires.

The defenders on the top of the city were completely suppressed by the firepower and could not raise their heads, and it was impossible for them to notice the actions outside the city. In fact, the darkness outside the city was so dark that even if they poked their heads out to observe, they could not see anything.

"Go!"

Brigadier General Zhang handed the explosive pack to Liu Jixiang.

Liu Jixiang's nickname is Harrier, which naturally means to describe his movements, as light and agile as a kite. It is the best way to do such a blasting work. I only saw him holding a pack of explosives and sneaking into the darkness quickly, and soon disappeared. But after a while, he came back.

Zhang Zhun asked with concern: "Is it okay?"

Liu Jixiang said excitedly: "It's okay. It'll explode right away!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and signaled Feng Yangyi and others to lie down.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, after a moment, a loud bang made the earth shake violently.

A dazzling fireball completely enveloped the entire south gate of Xiahe City. The light of the fireball can be clearly seen even in Langya Mountain dozens of miles away. In the reflection of the fireball, bricks, gravels, wood chips, flying in the air, as if an earthquake occurred. After a while, these debris fell down, as if a hail was falling.

The south gate of Xiahe City was blown up like this.

"superior!"

Zhang Zhun waved without hesitation.
Chapter completed!
