Chapter 243 Soldiers Arriving Outside the City (Second Update Arrives)

County mansion, Jinlin Court.

In the study, Nie Zheng stood in front of the desk, on which was a marching map of the entire Annan County.

Looking at the map on the desk, Nie Zheng frowned all the time
Today is the fourth day since he planted landmines in Beiliyuan. Just yesterday afternoon, a letter came from outside the city; the army led by Sang Kang had broken through the minefields and was now heading towards Yangzhou.

After learning about this, Nie Zheng was not surprised at all.

The main purpose of deploying the minefields is to solve the enslavement of the [-] Han pioneers.

Although Sang Kang and the others successfully broke through the minefields, they had already lost [-]% of the [-] Han slaves they brought with them. Nie Zheng had already figured out how to deal with the remaining [-] Han pioneers.

Anyway, in a word, he would never let those Da Yue people drive the remaining Han pioneers into the sight of the city guards.

At this moment, a notification came from outside the door. "Master, someone wants to see you!"

"Let him come in and see me!"

Nie Zheng slowly put away the map and looked up towards the door.

I saw Niu Meng hurriedly stepped through the door, came to Nie Zheng quickly, bowed his hands and said: "I have seen the commander!"

Nie Zheng glanced at him, and said calmly, "Why, the enemy is here?"

Niu Meng nodded, took a deep breath and said, "The 10,000+ army led by Sang Kang is already less than [-] miles away from Nancheng Defense."

Nie Zheng frowned, and said curiously, "Is Sang Kang going to concentrate all his forces this time to storm the southern defense? Are there any signs of abnormalities in the other city defenses?"

Niu Meng shook his head and said, "No change has been found in the other three city defenses. Sangkang's goal seems to be very clear, which is to go straight to the south city defense."

Nie Zheng smiled coldly, and whispered to himself: "It seems that this group of Da Yue people are determined to attack Yangzhou this time, and they will concentrate all their forces to storm one place. It is estimated that Sangkang will do it well. Prepare at all costs. But that’s fine, let’s fight head-to-head, and save the trouble of splitting troops up and down.”

Hearing this, Niu Meng couldn't help but asked: "Commander, you said that Sang Kang did this, did he come prepared with a lot of preparation?"

Nie Zheng glanced at him, and said calmly: "Of course I came prepared, otherwise, do you really think these Da Viet people are fools? Do you think it is possible to come here in groups to die?"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said: "Since Sangkang's army has come, from now on, you should follow Mr. Yi's side and help him guard the city to prevent chaos in the city."

Niu Meng cupped his hands and nodded, "Yes, Commander, this subordinate will leave!"

Looking at the back of Niu Meng leaving, Nie Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally he decided to leave Jinlin Garden and go to Nancheng to defend and supervise the battle in person.

Now that he has known the main target of Sang Kang's attack, Nie Zheng doesn't need to stay in the study.

Thinking of this, he put on a robe and walked quickly towards the door. Seeing this, several guards guarding the door clapped their hands and saluted: "Commander!"

Nie Zheng glanced at them and said, "All of you follow me to Nancheng Defense!"

"Yes, handsome!"

After saying that, the guards prepared to protect Marshal Nie to leave Jinlin Garden and go to Nancheng Defense.

"Squeak" sounded.

At this moment, the door of a wing room in the depths of Jinlin Garden suddenly opened, and immediately after, Shen Hongyu was seen walking out of the room in a black dress.

"Young Eagle!"

After hearing Shen Hongyu's crisp and tender call, Nie Zheng paused, turned his head to look, and found that she had appeared behind him at some point, and immediately Nie Zheng laughed and said, "Sister, what are you calling me for?"

Shen Hongyu raised her beautiful eyes, gave him an angry look, and said, "Where are you going?"

Nie Zheng deliberately put on a foolish look, his eyes kept scanning her plump breasts, and said: "Sang Kang led a group of Da Yue monkeys to kill them, I will meet them and see if this Sang Kang is really as rumored Invincible, unrivaled."

Shen Hongyu looked at him deeply, a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, and said lightly: "I will accompany you and protect you."

Nie Zheng felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile, "It's so good..."

………………

Accompanied by the cheap mother-in-law Shen Hongyu, Nie Zheng and his party quickly left the Siya Factory, and rode fast horses straight to Nanchengfang.

At this moment, people were surging up and down the walls of the South City Defense. Countless soldiers with stern expressions carried boxes of ammunition and ran back and forth inside and outside the city walls to set up defenses. The atmosphere at the scene seemed a little tense.

Obviously, after Shi Zheng learned that Sangkang's army might attack Nancheng Defense, he mobilized many soldiers and ammunition from other places.

Only when you are fully prepared for battle can you give the enemy who comes to attack the city a head-on blow.

After Nie Zheng and Shen Hongyu appeared in Nancheng Defense, all the soldiers bowed their hands respectfully when they saw them along the way.

"I've seen the handsome man! I've seen my wife!..."

Nie Zheng had already gotten used to the crowd's prostration, but Shen Hongyu was a little embarrassed.

Because she is Marshal Nie's married wife, and everyone in the Dragon and Tiger Rebel Army has heard about it.

Now, everyone who sees Shen Hongyu will respectfully call her "Madam". After hearing this address, although Shen Hongyu's pretty face flushed and she was a little embarrassed, she was very happy in her heart.

When I was in Longhu Mountain, only the people in Heifengzhai kindly called her Madam, but now in Yangzhou City, basically everyone calls her that. Sometimes Shen Hongyu would be a little embarrassed, so during this time , she has always lived in seclusion, basically staying in Jinlin Garden and not going out.After all, she and Nie Zheng are not yet husband and wife, so it is inevitable that they feel a little guilty.

As soon as Nie Zheng arrived at Nanchengfang, Shi Zheng personally led more than a dozen city defense generals to greet him.

"I've seen the handsome man!"

"Free gift!"

Nie Zheng waved his hands at Shi Zheng and the others, and said calmly, "How is the deployment going?"

Shi Zheng cupped his hands and said: "All the preparations have been completed, and now we are waiting for Sangkang's gang of Da Yue monkeys to come and die."

Nie Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's right, let's go, let's go up to the tower to have a look."

After saying that, everyone supported Marshal Nie and quickly climbed up the tower.

After climbing up the South Tower, Nie Zheng walked slowly to the edge of the battlements. Shen Hongyu and Shi Zheng were by his side respectively. He looked around inside and outside the city defense, and found that everything was deployed according to his previous plan. He nodded secretly, thinking , Governance is quite reliable.

Today, the armed firepower deployed in the entire South City Defense is definitely the strongest among the four city defenses in the entire Yangzhou City.

Outside the south city gate, on the inner bank of the moat, under the city walls on the left and right sides, a large number of trenches were dug, and a large number of fortifications were also built.

Under the thousands-meter-long city wall defense line, [-] heavy machine guns and nearly [-] light machine guns were deployed inside and out. As for other miscellaneous firearms, there are countless.

At the same time, on the city wall, hundreds of rocket launchers plus nearly a thousand mortars and grenades are enough to carry out a covering bombing attack on any enemy that appears outside the city.

What is even more shocking is that whether it is above or below the city wall, boxes of bullets and shells are piled up everywhere.

At this moment, in the trenches outside the city, there are thousands of light and heavy machine guns, and next to each light and heavy machine gun, there are several soldiers who are busy loading ammunition chains for the needs of the battle.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng suddenly said: "How is the ammunition prepared? Is it sufficient?"

Shi Zheng nodded, and said: "Each heavy machine gun is equipped with [-] rounds of ammunition, and light machine guns are equipped with [-] rounds. Originally, there were not so many ammunition. Later, Xue Changsheng sent people to transfer some of them from other city defenses. come over."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "For the time being, don't draw too many weapons and ammunition from other city defenses. Before Sang Kang led an army to attack the south city defense, no one dared to be [-]% sure. They would definitely gather all of them. Let's attack here."

Shi Zheng nodded again without saying anything.

At this time, the sun was sinking and sunset was dusk.

On the distant horizon, the blood-like setting sun seemed to be burning with the last ray of brilliance, reflecting the entire city wall golden.

The nearly ten thousand soldiers guarding the defense of the southern city, under the rays of the setting sun, their bodies shone with a layer of golden light, as if they were wearing golden armor.

Nie Zheng slowly climbed to the top of the South Tower, holding a military binoculars, and looked out of the city.

Suddenly, a black line appeared on the distant wilderness.

As the black line was slowly enlarged and then extended, finally, Nie Zheng could see clearly that it was a dark crowd.

Sangkang's army finally appeared!
Through the binoculars in his hand, Nie Zheng could clearly see that the crowd rushing to the front was sluggish, dressed in tatters, and didn't even wear a single bit of armor or weapons.

Obviously, they were enslaved by the Han Chinese who were driven ahead by the Dai Viet people.

According to Nie Zheng's estimation, the enemy should be at least ten miles away from Nancheng Defense.

With such a long distance, the strong Han men who assisted in defending the city could not see exactly what kind of enemy was coming ahead with their naked eyesight.

However, this is no longer important.

Before the enemy drove those Han people to the city, Nie Zheng had already decided in his heart to fire and bomb them in advance.

However, with the ammunition and weapons that Nie Zheng currently possesses, it seems that there is no range that can reach more than ten miles. As for the mortars and heavy machine guns, there is no need to mention them. distance damage.

The only way out now is to take out the ten Krupp 75mm mountain guns.
