Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 159 Desperate Charge

"No, general, you are also very tired, how can I go to rest alone." The lieutenant felt that Tian Hu didn't go to rest, so why should he go.

"Then go and see the gap in the city wall. If possible, find a way to reinforce it." Tian Hu had no choice but to take his lieutenant general. Since he didn't want to rest, he just fulfilled his wish.

Just after a few rounds of shelling, the gap on the city wall was a little loose. If the Ming army outside the city discovered it, it would be bad if they concentrated their firepower to bombard it.

"Yes." The deputy general did not notice Tian Hu's abnormality, so he cheered up and led dozens of strong men to find ways to repair and reinforce the gap.

After the lieutenant general left, Tian Hu found a garbage dump made up of parapet walls that had been bombarded by cannons, stood up and spoke to the young adults nearby.

"Soldiers, I am your general, Kaifeng Jiedu envoy Tian Hu."

"I believe you heard the bombardment just now. To tell you the truth, there are now ten red cannons from the Ming army outside the city wall constantly bombarding us."

"There are some gaps in our city walls. The Ming army will soon find these weak spots and concentrate their firepower."

Tian Hu decided to tell these young men about the current situation. He believed that after he told all the truth, people would make the right choice.

"When the gap is opened, we will no longer be able to stop the Ming army."

"For now, there is only one way, and that is to go out and blow up their cannons, so that they can only use the ladder to climb up and fight us slowly. Only in this way, can we last until His Majesty brings troops to rescue us. we."

In fact, Tian Hu didn't know whether Li Zicheng would come or not, but he knew that if he didn't even give this little hope, the young man in front of him would put down his weapon and go home to sleep immediately.

Or to get rid of the whole family of wives, children and children first, and then hang yourself to death, so as not to be ravaged by the Ming army after the city is breached.

"Are you willing to go out of the city with me? Let's go out and fight the Ming army on the flat ground. If the Ming army wins, then we are willing to bet and let them blow us up with cannons."

"If we win, it means that God has favored us and will definitely let the emperor come to rescue us."

It turned out that this was Tian Hu's real idea. He wanted to take people out of the city to have a fight with Zhang Yong himself. Only in this way would it be possible to destroy Zhang Yong's artillery, otherwise there would be no hope at all.

Hearing Zhang Yong's words, these young men were shocked. They did not expect that the Count of Dashun, the Jiedushi, would actually offer to lead them out personally.

Seeing these young and strong people looking at each other, but still no one made a sound, Tian Hu's heart suddenly became cold, and he thought, could it be that the city I have guarded for more than ten days is going to end like this.

After all, Tian Hu is an indomitable soldier. He is unwilling to give up and still tries to use his voice to influence these young men.

"Whoever dares to follow me, fight the Ming army!" Tian Hu raised his arm with a knife in his right hand and shouted.

"I dare!" A few young men who were not afraid of death stood up, and they responded to Tian Hu first.

"I dare too." More and more people came out from the crowd.

Tian Hu stood on a high place and counted roughly, there were nearly a hundred people, and at the same time, more and more people came towards him.

"Okay, let's put hanging baskets and go down from the city wall." Tian Hu felt that there were more than 100 people enough, so he led them up the city wall and prepared to put the hanging baskets down.

Because the city gate was besieged at the beginning, in order to prevent the enemy from breaking in, Tian Hu ordered people to build a wall with bricks to block the city gate.

In order to inspire everyone and give them confidence and courage, Tian Yong was the first to go down in the hanging basket and then stuck his sword in the soil, leaning on the knife and waiting for everyone to come down from the city wall.

Seeing Tian Hu's bravery, the people behind rushed to get down in the hanging basket first.

Just as everyone was huddling together on this section of the city wall and about to go down, the red-clothed cannon suddenly aimed at the crowd on the city wall and fired.

Fortunately, the distance is far away, and the accuracy of the artillery is not so good, so only one shell hit the crowd.

But even if there was only one shell, the destructive power was astonishing. Seven or eight people who were directly hit by the shell or rubbed against their bodies were smashed into parts on the spot, and countless stumps and broken arms flew down from the city wall.

Tian Hu originally thought that the young men would be scared when they saw it, but the result shocked him. The young men seemed not to have seen this horrifying scene, and they still came to Tian Hu through the hanging basket one after another.

After a while, more than 100 people gathered around Tian Hu. He wanted to start immediately, but he didn't expect that there were still people coming down from the city wall.

In the end, more than 300 people gathered around Tian Hu, and he felt that it was enough, so he set off.

They stepped on the ground blackened by the bonfire. Although their steps were messy, they were very powerful.

Zhang Yong had already noticed Tian Hu's movements, but he didn't want to waste the precious ammunition of the red cannon, so instead of firing, he sent a thousand households with a thousand people to stand two hundred feet in front of the red cannon. Armed at a distance.

Soon, Tian Hu came to the place about [-] zhang away from the red cannon position, and on both sides of him were the sergeants ordered by Zhang Yong to deploy the defense.

"Brothers, in order to defend our hometown, these cannons must be blown up." Tian Hu raised his arms and rushed to the red cannon position.

Although this distance is too far for charging, it will greatly consume the soldiers' physical strength. When they reach the place, I am afraid that they will not even have the strength to swing swords and guns, but if the speed is too slow, before they reach the red clothes In front of the cannon, they will be surrounded by Ming troops on both sides.

Tian Hu had no choice but to do this.

Looking at the thousands of enemy troops around them and the cannons facing them, everyone knew that this would be a charge destined to be full of death and despair, but everyone still followed Tian Hu's footsteps without hesitation.

"Aim the artillery at these guys." Zhang Yong said to the commander of the red-clothed cannon, looking at Tian Hu, who looked like refugees in ragged clothes.

Since Tian Hu insisted on sending him to his door, he had no choice but to use artillery to send him to the west to see the Tathagata Buddha.

Just when Tian Hu came to a place more than 120 feet away from the artillery position, the cannon in red opened fire at them.

Because of the distance, the red cannon's accuracy was surprisingly good, and six of the ten cannons hit Tian Hu's army.

Although Tian Hu ordered the young and strong to disperse, not to stand too densely, and the ammunition used by the red cannon was solid iron lumps, so it did not cause the greatest damage.

But after the shell hit the crowd, all the people it touched were immediately shattered into pieces.
