The male protagonist, he doesn’t follow the script [Quick Transmigration]

After a victory, the mood of the rebels was very high, and Xia Yi had to tighten the strings for them again.

After more than ten days, all the way to the east, there was no major disturbance.After the disastrous defeat of the imperial army's ambush, they probably also had fear and vigilance, and did not dare to act rashly.Although there were several waves of small sneak attacks and ambushes, they all survived safely.

After a few more days, you will arrive at the most dangerous pass in the entire river valley.

This is a small city named Hechong (*), with a population of only [-] to [-] civilians, but there are more than [-] permanent defenders.

Now that [-] reinforcements from central Beijing have arrived, there is nowhere to live in the city, so they can only be stationed outside the city.

Before the imperial army set up an ambush and lost more than 15 people, and then encountered the rebels several times, and lost a total of more than [-] people. Now, the initial total strength of [-] to [-] troops is only [-].

Su Bingwen, who led the army, was under a lot of pressure.

After the first defeat, he delayed for a few days, not daring to immediately report the battle report back to Beijing, but prepared to avenge his humiliation, and fought a turnaround to explain.

But who would have thought that he impetuously summoned a group of generals and deputy generals, as well as the generals of the original Hechong defenders to discuss setting up an ambush to make a comeback, but he was refuted by all of them.The reason is that if the rebel army's astonishingly powerful firearms are not well studied, they will still be defeated. It is really heartbreaking to lose tens of thousands of soldiers in one defeat.

The advantage of the imperial army is that it has nearly twice the number of the enemy army, and it can't be used at all in the narrow valley. It is better to rest and wait in the city to relax and wait for work.

Su Bingwen was not happy, but everyone else opposed it, and he was also afraid of being responsible for another defeat, so he had to hold back.I wrote about the defeated battle to Zhezi Chunqiu in Beijing, and then expressed my loyalty with all my heart, vowing to defend the city and win the battle.

The pressure is all on him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Su Bingwen has been unable to sleep at night these days.

He is a military commander, but he is often responsible for managing public security in Beijing and guarding the imperial city, which can reflect the emperor's trust but is not risky. He has not really led troops before.

So he didn't expect that with such a big difference in military strength, the imperial army would suffer repeated setbacks.

He scolded himself countless times for recommending himself and being complacent, and he also slandered his son-in-law, the sixth prince, who recommended him.

However, this is the end of the matter, if you can't win...

Their emperor is not a good talker.

In Su Bingwen's entanglement and irritability, the rebels finally came to the city.

At this time, it is October, and the autumn wind is chilling.

According to the usual practice, Su Bingwen stood at the top of the wall and spoke harsh words to Xia Yi.

A soldier in high spirits was in charge of shouting out every word he said to the city.

The content is nothing more than scolding such as "wolf ambition", "conspiracy against the law", "self-confessed that he is in charge of the political power, and dares to take power and sassafras the law" and so on.

Xia Yi didn't feel anything about it, and even wanted to laugh.

He beckoned, and a small soldier took out a simple horn he had tossed out in the northwest, and shouted to the top of the city:

"Have you had enough? If it wasn't for Emperor Dechang's incompetence and lack of morals, the court was full of moths, and the rations of our frontier troops were withheld, and the generals were treated with extreme suspicion. Why should I rebel? You are full of benevolence and morality, loyal to the emperor and love the people." , but why don’t you dare to talk about my Gu Yi’s great military exploits and my family’s whereabouts are unknown but I was accused of crime?!”

Su Bingwen was shocked on the wall.

"What kind of magic is Gu Yishi? Why can I hear him clearly?"

"General, there should be some skilled craftsmen among the rebels. You see he is holding a strange thing, which should be the reason why he can transmit his voice to the city wall - like the kind they use that will explode - We have never seen the demon method of explosion before."

A commander next to him said.

"Damn! How can such a craftsman be called him? Those who are in the same rank as the rebellious officials and thieves should find out who they are, the barbarians!"

Su Bingwen gritted his teeth.

But at this moment, Gu Yi in the city had already loudly said many things about the harsh treatment of the soldiers, and also said that the cultural relics officials in the court did not treat the soldiers as human beings.

Su Bingwen couldn't sit still any longer - if Xia Yi were to continue talking like this, the morale of their army would definitely be shaken.

He immediately ordered an attack on the rebels below the city.

So, soon there were soldiers pulling boulders and holding bird guns to the top of the wall, and began to attack the rebels below.

Xia Yi also ordered the siege to begin.

Perhaps the imperial army felt that the firearms used by the rebels were very effective, so they got hundreds of blunderbuss from nowhere and began to shoot down.

It's just that they are not like Xia Yi's soldiers, who have experienced several months of practice at least with the blunderbuss.These imperial troops managed to find out the bird guns, without maintenance, and hastily distributed them to the soldiers, without training on the accuracy, let alone calculating the shooting range.

——Even, because bullets are precious, they didn't let the soldiers try it before fighting on the ground.

As soon as the fire was fired at this moment, there were already seven or eight bombs on the top of the city, and the defenders themselves let out a scream.

So all of a sudden, the city was in a mess, and all the bird guns could be used were to fire blindly, and few bullets actually hit the rebels below the city.

But the rebels fought very cleverly here. In order to cover the soldiers who were attacking the city, a group of soldiers with several large machine crossbows pulled away the fifteen-stone weapon together, and shot the thick arrows against the wall. .

At the top of the city, many soldiers were hit immediately and fell backwards.

Su Bingwen realized that the blunderbuss in the hands of the imperial army not only did not play a lethal role, but because of absurd reasons such as exploding their barrels, they were of no help. Angrily, he stopped the imperial army and changed arrows to shoot down the city.

At this moment, under the cover of long-range firepower (□□), hundreds of rebels have already begun to attack the city.

According to the traditional method of siege, one or several of them will shoot the hook claws to the top of the city, and the people behind will use small guns to shoot or kill the defenders near the corresponding position of the city head, so as to give them a chance to climb. The people at the wall fight for time.

But this is really inefficient and dangerous.

And Xia Yi and the others have "bombers".

So, under the whizzing arrows, several soldiers in heavy armor quickly aimed at the top of the city wall, and threw the "explosive son" fiercely on the top of the city wall with their arms raised.

"boom!"

The loud sound was accompanied by the sight of many parts of the hard city being blown up and foaming.

That is a city wall made of glutinous rice mixed with loess, which is extremely hard.Because this is the famous Hechong Pass, the wall is thicker than other passes.

But even so, with the sound of a thunderbolt, quite a few city walls were blasted from a "concave" shape to flat!There are also many places where mottled potholes were blown out of the originally smooth walls.

What was even worse was that some soldiers defending the city who couldn't dodge in time were bloodied in the howling.

"Go up! They have limited items! No refunds!"

Su Bingwen roared.

limited?

That's really sorry, the rebels just saved their use and saved it for tough battles.

The "bombers" blew up on the top of the city like money, creating a large cloud of soil mist that made people cough constantly, and the crumbling stones on the top of the city that made the defenders tear their hearts apart.

But this time, the defenders were not so easily defeated.

One is relying on the natural terrain advantages of the pass, and the other is that Su Bingwen gave them the death order before the war.If they escaped, what awaited them would be death, or life would be worse than death.

The Dasu imperial army on the top of the city restored order after a short period of chaos, and divided into small groups, wave after wave, they began to shoot arrows, pour hot water, and smash stones at the top of the city, trying to take advantage of the chaos above.

Xia Yi gestured, and the herald next to him whistled, and the soldiers who attacked the city retreated to a safe place.

Before Su Bingwen could be happy, Xia Yi waved his hand again. Those large guns that were originally used as long-range firepower were dragged away by the manipulated soldiers?

——And behind these mechanisms, there was something that broke Su Bingwen's heart:

artillery.

I said before that cannons are heavy and not easy to carry, but they are very useful weapons in positional warfare such as siege warfare.

It's just that it takes time to move, install, and debug them.

From the beginning of the battle, Xia Yi had the artillery ready.

And now, everything is ready, and the two cannons are erected on the dry river bed.

Xia Yi specially trained several artillerymen who can calculate the range and adjust the muzzle and lead several people to control one of them.

"attack!"

Xia Yi issued a short and forceful order.

The gunner nervously pulled the mechanism according to the angle he had just calculated.

"Bang" with a loud noise.

Flying sand and stone.

The soldiers near the gate all coughed and turned their heads or covered their faces because of the sand in their eyes.

Some soldiers who were close were thrown backwards due to the huge impact.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, people from both sides looked nervously at the center of the smoke and dust.

"...My God."

A general next to Xia Yi swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This side is amazed, while Su Bingwen is shocked and angry.

On the hard and sturdy gate, there was a huge hole about half a person's height.

"Block it! Don't let them in! Not a single one!"

He yelled frantically, waving his hands as if he had epilepsy and ordered the soldiers to be mobilized to defend.

—but it was too late.

A rebel soldier who was close and very courageous quickly threw a "bomb" into the cave from outside the city wall.

"what--"

Screams emanated from the city gate.

The imperial army who had rushed up to stop the rebels hesitated when they saw the people in front were blown upside down.

The rebels immediately seized the opportunity, and two short soldiers quickly jumped into the big hole.Only then did the imperial army, who were stunned, react and rushed forward to kill them.

However, the leading rebel soldier once again took out a "bomb" from nowhere and threw it at them fiercely.

In the midst of the people turning their backs, this soldier and another small rebel soldier behind him had already lifted up the crossbar on the city gate and put it aside, and then the two of them worked together to forcefully open the gate a crack.

——The city gate was heavy, and they only opened this gap.

But it doesn't matter.Soon other rebel soldiers came in through the gap, and together with them, they pulled the city gate wide open.

Cheers erupted among the rebels.

Xia Yi smiled and took the flag from the general's hand, and waved it down neatly in the direction of the city gate.

Su Bingwen on the city wall closed his eyes in despair, and murmured: "It's over...it's over..."

Three days later, at the Dasu court hall.

The atmosphere was so stiff that none of the civil and military officials dared to raise their heads.

An urgent report of three hundred miles was placed on the emperor's desk.

Lost in the river.

The low air pressure in the hall is almost breathless.

Emperor Dechang was furious, and spent a long time cursing Su Bingwen's corpse as a vegetarian, extremely incompetent.

After scolding all this, you were still not relieved, and then scolded Li Chengye, the sixth prince who recommended Su Bingwen at that time, so badly.

Li Chengye didn't dare to raise his head to listen below, thinking that all the civil and military officials had witnessed this scene, he felt so humiliated, and when he turned his head and saw a trace of joy on the prince's face, a murderous intent arose in his heart.

A court meeting, the atmosphere is suffocating.

In the end, the emperor expressed his distrust of Su Bingwen, and ordered the troops from the south to fight against Xia Yi.

This time, he didn't care about calculating the money, food and fire consumption, and transferred a full 20 people in one go.

The news was sent to Tan Jiuzhang's desk almost immediately.

The person who sent the letter carefully looked at the shadow on his master's face, relying on the master's good temper and not liking to embarrass his subordinates, he boldly asked:

"The master is not as good as before. Let out the rumor that the rebel army is vulnerable and that the imperial army has nothing to worry about, and then ask someone to encourage the emperor to worry that the treasury will not make ends meet? Ask the emperor to withdraw his order, and not send so many people?"

Tan Jiuzhang shook his head:

"The last time we were able to act like that was because the rebels had won border towns with few troops. But this time it was different. They conquered Hechong, known as the 'No. [-] Pass in the World'. We can't repeat it again." I plan to do it again."

He pondered for a moment, then slowly narrowed his eyes:

"Go, call me the steward who is in contact with Jiangnan Water Transport."

"Yes."

The author has something to say:

It's a bit cool to write about war hehehe
