Chongzhen Undergraduates

This behavior is really strange, how can anyone attack the city like this.

For the 20 siege army, this amount of labor is nothing, which shows that the siege coach is really helpless.

"This trick is poisonous. They are clearing a road for Da Pao. As long as this street is cleared, we will not be able to contain Xuzhou City." Yan Yingyuan could see it clearly. In fact, if Xuzhou City's fortifications were not complete, they would Where can you beat the golden soldiers.

"How many days have you been guarding the city today?" Yan Yingyuan asked Chen Mingyu.

"No. 80 one day. The imperial court has forgotten us long ago!?" Chen Mingyu replied.

"Since the last time I contacted the emperor, the emperor has said that he will not send reinforcements to Xuzhou. We will only defend Xuzhou as the last city of Ming Dynasty.

The fall of Xuzhou means the fall of Ming Dynasty, so don't worry about whether people outside will remember us, just ask how many days we can hold Xuzhou City. "

In fact, Yan Yingyuan didn't know why Zhu Youjian entrusted him with such a task.There are countless talented people in Ming Dynasty, so if you want to find someone who carries the big banner, why bother with a small history.

But since Wang Chengen got him to Nanjing three years ago, strange things happened one after another.

"Start work, the task is to kill the gunners of the Tartars. Remember, leave as soon as you get it, don't love to fight." Yan Yingyuan forced himself not to think about things that he couldn't figure out, and he gave the order to attack.

In terms of archery, there are quite a few good players that can be found in the Xuzhou defenders, but even if most of them have trained for two or three years, their level still needs to be shot at a relatively short distance to be accurate.

Everyone in the defenders knows how to shoot arrows, which completely violates Zhu Youjian's army building policy, but Zhu Youjian personally agreed, and it was also Zhu Youjian who allocated all the bows accumulated in the entire arsenal to Yan Yingyuan.

Of course, the defenders also have firecrackers, especially the large ones.Gunpowder is a luxury item, and Yan Yingyuan is reluctant to use it. It is usually used to bury landmines.

Most of the ruins of Xuzhou City were blown up by the defenders themselves. They drove the enemy out of the city dozens of times.

"Swoosh!" After two piercing sounds, the two golden soldiers were pierced by an arrow.

"There is Ming army." A group of gold soldiers quickly found a place to hide, which has almost become a habit.Then there were two more arrows, and the golden soldier had two more arrows in the chest.

"Shield formation." The general of the Jin soldiers shouted, and a group of soldiers immediately formed a circle holding their shields and looked around vigilantly.They have been attacked by various tactics too many times, and arrows will be shot in any direction.

The Xuzhou army's combat method was different this time. They asked one or two people to approach the enemy's nearest place and shoot one or two arrows at the enemy. After the sneak attack was successful, they turned around and ran away.

"Where is it? Chase!" Jin Bing found the Ming army naturally, and more than [-] Jin soldiers followed immediately.

Yan Yingyuan watched them run a hundred paces away, then he pulled out an armor-piercing cone from his back and drew his bow.He standardizes a white armored soldier in iron armor next to the golden soldier's cannon.

At the same time, a total of five or six armor-piercing arrows were aimed at this elite Eight Banners soldier.There is a rule in the Xuzhou garrison that the best shooter aims at the strongest enemy.

Yan Yingyuan shot an arrow, and the white-armored soldier was shocked, but within a second, five more armor-piercing arrows shot at him.Originally, one arrow could not kill the white-armored soldier, but six armor-piercing ones were enough to send him back to his hometown.

As soon as the white armor soldiers died, the golden soldiers next to the cannon were in chaos. Yan Yingyuan led the defenders to aim at the golden soldiers next to the cannon and shot quickly.In this era when bows and arrows are much faster than firecrackers, the rain of arrows covered by dozens of archers is basically like owning a Czech made.

The golden soldiers were not slow to react. After the defenders shot five arrows at most, their shields formed, pressing down row after row.

"Withdraw." The goal has been accomplished, and what Yan Yingyuan is thinking about now is how to evacuate.

"Aren't you going to take the opportunity to drive them out?" Chen Mingyu was very surprised. In the past, they would all succeed in driving Jin Bing out.

"There are so many words, run quickly." Yan Yingyuan took the lead and ran quickly.

"Boom!" An iron bullet hit the defender's heel directly. If there were not many rocks, the ricochet would probably kill many defenders.

Such battles are staged many times in Xuzhou City every day, but not every time is lucky.Casualties often exist, but generally the golden soldiers die more and the defenders die less.

"General, how do you know that Jin Bing still has a cannon?" Chen Mingyu was very surprised. He obviously only saw one cannon, and the gunner had already been killed, so why did he still get shot.

"The Tartars are not stupid, and they didn't send a cannon to give me a gift. If they lined up in a row, I might really be fooled. If you put one in front of you, this general is still a baby."

Yan Yingyuan's guess was correct. The commander of Jin Bing called Cao Xi was in his 20s, so he was indeed very young.He used to operate the largest cannon, and then Xuzhou City was bombed, and those two cannons were also abolished, and Hou Jin didn't have the financial resources to rebuild them.

Cao Xi began to lead ordinary artillery.

Chapter 387: Double Bait Operation

"What did you say, father is not dead?" Zhu Cihong stood up with fear and surprise in his eyes, he was very flustered, he was so flustered that he felt unsafe wherever he stayed, sitting or standing in any posture.

"Your Majesty, I think that the most urgent thing is for you to ascend the throne as soon as possible." Liu Zongzhou was so anxious that he blocked Zhu Cihong to persuade the prince to ascend the throne.

"Teacher, this is absolutely impossible! My father is still fighting in Jiangbei, how can I hide in a safe place and take the throne. Besides, my father did not directly pass me on." No matter how brave Zhu Cihong is, he would not dare to take the throne in such a way. Prejudice in things.

Liu Zongzhou, who was trembling with fear on the battlefield, was daring in government affairs. The civil servants were nothing more than relying on the idea that they would not lose their heads if they pierced the sky. Anyway, the court is full of reasonable people, and they are just playing lip service.

"My emperor! You are Jian Guo, that is, the established successor to the throne. No matter whether the former emperor is in Jiangbei or not, you can take the throne with the support of hundreds of officials.

It is difficult for the emperor to forget the precedents of the country. Has the Civil Fortress changed? "

Zhu Cihong's heart was shocked. In the Tumubao incident, two emperors of Ming Dynasty were in power at the same time.However, before his death, Shi Kefa had repeatedly told him not to ascend the throne.

"Okay, don't talk about it. I have made up my mind, and I won't proclaim myself emperor for now. Let's discuss the matter of the national sacrifice to my father-in-law."

In the end, Zhu Cihong did not agree to Liu Zongzhou's suggestion, but he agreed to set up the government in Hangzhou, set up a temporary court, and issue orders as a supervisor.

Although he did not ascend the throne directly, it was tantamount to taking more than half of the court affairs into his own hands.In addition to holding the national sacrifice for Shi Kefa, it is enough to win over a large number of Jiangnan officials.

Liu Zongzhou was also satisfied in his heart, at least the civil servant group in Jiangnan was on his side.

In addition, some scholars in the north who surrendered to the past are also quietly connecting with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, expressing their hope to see Zhu Cihong ascend the throne.Especially when a certain thousand-year-old family directly came forward, counted Zhu Youjian's "bad deeds" and predicted a terrible prospect of the collapse of ritual and music, which really frightened a group of old stubborn people.

……

At the same time, Nanjing also received orders from Zhu Youjian.He personally ordered the prince to supervise the country, so he can't say that the prince is guilty of this matter, he can only say that the prince is at fault.

It is impossible for Zhu Youjian to set up another court in Nanjing. That would be tantamount to splitting himself up and slapping himself.

Zhu Youjian's order was very simple. Based on the officials left in Nanjing, an operational coordination headquarters was established, with Fang Yuegong, Shangshu of the Ministry of household affairs, as the commander-in-chief, and coordinated all parties to start preparations to support Jiangbei operations.

So far, although Jiangnan has been divided into two major factions and several different institutions, on the surface, it is still unified.The people in Jiangnan are still silently supporting Jiangbei's anti-golden war, while the gentry in Jiangnan are busy getting closer to Liu Zongzhou, preparing to run away from office.

In Liu Zongzhou's view, Zhu Youjian had better die in Jiangbei.If he returns to the south of the Yangtze River, the court officials will make proper arrangements, and Zhu Youjian will no longer be able to control the government.

Both sides are fighting for time layout.

……

Zhu Youjian was lying on the carriage, and the carriage was running very fast.

Even if he had driven a special carriage, Zhu Youjian was still shaken by the carriage, and his whole body seemed to fall apart.Especially the frozen soil on the road is like a rock, an inconspicuous lump of soil can make Zhu Youjian feel like he is playing a roller coaster.

"My General Li, can't you slow down?" Zhu Youjian said while leaning on the window of the carriage and looking at Li Yan who was riding a horse outside.

"If the emperor doesn't like riding in a car, he can ride a horse with us." Li Yan said with a smile.

Zhu Youjian knew that Li Yan was laughing at himself, and when he started running, he was riding with these bullies, and the eggs under his crotch were all worn out.

He didn't know if he would be scratching his head when he took a long step, but he would definitely wear it out after riding a horse for a long time.Thinking of himself hiding in the carriage and applying medicine alone, Zhu Youjian could only choose to take the carriage.
