Gaodu City is just a small city, with earth-rammed walls covering bricks, no urn city, and no artillery was seen on the city.
Zhang Ningjun built a cannon array less than a mile outside the north gate. Eleven short and thick mortar cannons, and the base of thick wooden boards was buried in the dirt pit. Two brigades of more than 200 people and engineers from the Weapon Bureau were operating these cannons.
The loading medicine is a particle of black gunpowder, and the shell is a solid stone bullet, weighing more than 20 kilograms. If it is loaded with iron bullets, it can reach 35 kilograms according to the caliber.
This kind of gun fires outside hundreds of steps, and the high throwing line trajectory has almost no accuracy, so I can only estimate it.However, when facing the city wall target that is three or four miles wide, there is no need to be too high precision.
A large group of people on the open ground on the bank of the Yuanshui River worked for a long time, and finally a thunderous cannon broke the tranquility between the world; after a while, more loud noises exploded, and the city seemed to begin to tremble in the roar of cannons.
……
Three days later, the fat Changde Guard commander had knelt outside Zhu Yong's central army gate, trembling with fear. He was Commander Luo, the chief general guarding Gaodu City. He was the commander of the Changde Prefecture Guard, who led his troops to Longtou Temple and was ordered to set up defenses and block the rebels in Gaodu County, but he was defeated.
As the message came out, Commander Luo rolled and crawled into the lobby. As soon as he entered, he fell to the ground and kept kowtowing. It seemed that he was really scared.
More than a year ago, he had seen his enemy Zhang Ning in Changde Prefecture. At that time, Zhang Ning was an inspector of Huguang and was just a civil servant.
Commander Luo was too fat to get on the horse, and he argued in front of the inspector's censor that Changde had no war and handed over the food on time.
He was lying on the ground, not daring to look up at Duke Cheng who was sitting on it, but he could imagine in his heart how the person above looked.
An official next to the seat asked: Your troops are twice as powerful as the rebels, and they are defending the city. How could the whole army be defeated in two days?
Commander Luo hurriedly cried: That afternoon, we couldn't even see clearly at the top of the city, and suddenly a bolt from the blue sounded. The shells smashed down on the city walls, the bricks and stones of the walls collapsed, the soldiers were panicked, and some shells fell into the city, destroying houses and injuring no one in the city... The army was already panicked, and the next morning, the rebels dragged the "General's Cannon" to the city and fired near the city gate; our crossbows were not in enough firearms, so we could only watch, and in an instant, the city gate was smashed open, and the thieves swarmed in.At the end, the general led dozens of personal soldiers to lead his troops to fight with the bandit army in the city. Unexpectedly, the soldiers and soldiers were only concerned about running away. The chaotic military orders were no longer available. Many people grabbed the ship from the water gate to the south and fled. Some of them drowned because of heavy armor; more of them threw away their armor and swam naked and fled.The last general was really powerless to turn the world back and was about to burn all the jades with the thief army, but he didn't expect that the servants would force me to tie me up and pull me away...
Duke Cheng finally couldn't help but plan his long nonsense and shouted coldly: You are a dereliction of duty, you are worthy of death!
Commander Luo hurriedly begged for mercy: Please spare your life!Say life!
A general from Changde in the army helped to plead with mercy, and the aides around Zhu Yong also advised him to lock up the defeated general first and let the court convict.But Zhu Yong was furious and roared: Come on, take it out and chop it!
Two guards went forward to command the commander, but because they were too heavy and could hardly drag them, two more came. The four of them worked together to almost carry him out.
After a long time, I could still hear the sound of begging for mercy outside, which was shocking the mountains and rivers.
Zhu Yong stood up in anger, came to the back hall and took a sip of tea and sat down for a while before he recovered.
A confidant general next to him stood up for him: If it weren't for those two castrated people, we would have defeated the Miao people in Luxi first, and then the army headed north to recover the three counties, and it would have been smooth sailing. It would have happened to such a thing; now, the eunuch said he would fight the Zhuque army first, which made them tangled with the Miao people.If you want to say that those eunuchs are really hateful, you don’t know that the army will bend.
Zhu Yong opened his eyes and said with a breath: You must not say such complaints in the future. If it is just a eunuch, can I listen to them?
After hearing this, the general suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "The Duke's teachings are right, but the last general has lost his words."
Can you tell me that Liu Heju, the former commander of Yongding Guard, who has been demoted to the Qianzong General?
A white-faced and round-faced official next to him said, "I have been with him a few days ago and think that this person is not a mediocre and incompetent general, but a man."
A general disagreed and said: He is not a defeated general under the rebels, but he is better than Commander Luo who died today, at least he did not lose the Acropolis.
The round-faced official said seriously: Liu He said that the rebel army's firearms were fierce, and the official army suffered a loss on that thing; now more than 2,000 people in Gaodu County defended the city and were defeated in two days. Even if Commander Luo and other generals were incompetent, they were defeated too fiercely.I think we should find a way to get some rebel firearms to figure it out and learn more about the enemy.
Zhu Yong said: The barbarians are afraid of firearms, that is because they have no knowledge. The official army is used to the sound of guns and flashes of fire, so how can they fall on it?Liu Heju was defeated, just to make excuses for himself, so don’t be confused by him.
The general hurriedly echoed: As Duke Chengguo said, the defeated general naturally had to find some reasons to say that he was not useless.There is only one reason for defeating the battle, that is, he is incompetent. Just like the commander Luo we met today, how did he climb to the position of commander Changdewei?The administration in this place is really decayed!
When I was transferred to Changdewei to Longtou Temple, I was in Luxi and I had never seen the commander. If I hadn't seen him with my own eyes in a hurry, I wouldn't have let him lead the troops.
Zhu Yongdao, I also have some responsibility for this accident.
The local commander was not appointed by the Duke of the State, so you can't say that.
At this time, the round-faced official said without hesitation: In the current situation, the bandit army has already controlled the garrisons of Gaodu and Longtou Temple, and they are equivalent to controlling the Yuanshui upstream of Changde Prefecture.The officials believed that there were three key points for the bandit army to occupy this place: First, they could collude with the Miao people to the west and respond to each other; Second, the main grain supply of our army mainly came from Changde Mansion, which was under threat; Third, the bandit army could directly threaten Changde Mansion along the river... Of course, because they had too few troops, and under the deterrence of our superior forces, it was impossible to attack Changde Mansion...
Mr. Geng said it was true.
A general praised it with a strange voice.
There is always a difference between civil and military affairs, especially in military affairs, literati have to be eloquent. To the generals, they sound nice and useless to fight.
Mr. Geng with a round face is named Geng Huaiyuan. He is from Anhui and an aide. He is still a person who can speak around Zhu Yong. However, a group of generals and Zhu Yong have a life-threatening relationship, and their relationship is no worse than that of the usual gentlemen who only talk.
Geng Huaiyuan looked contemptuous, which made several generals feel unhappy.He raised his head, clasped his fists and said: Wansheng has a plan, I wonder if he can say something in front of his lord?
Zhu Yong had long been used to seeing such scenes, so just now Geng Huaiyuan talked about having contact with the military general Liu Heju. Zhu Yong was not very reliable when he heard it. He immediately said calmly: Mr. Geng has something to say, but it doesn’t matter.
Geng Huaiyuan said: For the current plan, we should not be impatient. It is no longer advisable for us to cut off the thief army's retreat in Yongdingwei. The plan for a while is to march into Longtou Temple.
What's the wonder of heading towards Longtou Temple?Zhu Yong was puzzled.
Geng Huaiyuan looked complacent like he was owed: Four words, divide and treat it.Of course, it would not be effective if we march towards Longtou Temple alone. We also had to use a counter-arbitrary strategy to prevent the Miao people from colluding with Zhang Ning.It’s very simple. Send someone to see the old man, explain the pros and cons, and promise some real and real benefits to keep the Miao people away from the thieves.
To put it lightly.The despised general suddenly said something.
Geng Huaiyuan said coldly: Even if the Miao people have contacts with the rebels, they have very shallow relationships, and obviously they cannot trust each other; furthermore, what is the Miao people's intention to raise an army?It is nothing more than to trouble the rebels first, so that the war will never come to an end, and then strive to use a pacification policy when the imperial court fails to wipe out. Maybe King Miao can still seek an official position and help the imperial court manage Miao Xinjiang in name.They have this idea, so we will follow the situation and act like we want to comfort. How can the Miao people not appreciate it?
At this time, Zhu Yong spoke: What Mr. Geng said makes sense. I think that's the case. You can send someone to handle it.However, what really works for the rebellion is to defeat the thieves on the battlefield, and it is not necessary to supplement the strategy.
The general echoed: That's right, it's useless to say anything that can't be beaten!
Zhu Yong was very pleased and immediately pointed to Geng Huaiyuan and said: You can do the counter-espionage strategy, but promise that the Miao people must not be allowed. Just show good deeds or say something real or verbally.When the Miao people are not allowed to be criticized, they will leave a handle for nothing.
If the Miao people really want to surrender, as long as the conditions are acceptable, they can write to the court to appease them so as not to prolong the war and consume food and grass lives.
Zhu Yong shook his head and said: When the Han King was entrenched in Nanjing, the court rebelled against Miaojiang and said that it would be a reason to suppress it.If you are granted an official position wherever you rebel, it will be great. Wouldn't it encourage those who are ready to move?
Zhu Yong has already understood the combat power of more than 10,000 people in Miao people. He has given him a chance to give him a great contribution to comfort him?
This is really a bit difficult.
If you don’t kill someone who is bloody and powerful, how can you achieve the reputation of Zhu Yong’s famous general?
The situation in front of him was not very good. Even if he suffered defeat, the soldiers from the mainland of the south were really bad. Zhu Yong thought that if he led the Northern Front Army or the veterans of Jiaozhi, he would not have been defeated twice as much as the enemy's army and was defeated.
However, after his military reorganization, the more than 6,000 main forces under him would never be as unusable as the Gaodu defenders.
He was thinking inwardly, and Geng Huaiyuan said again: If the Miao people were able to repair their relationship, the land of Gaodu would be no longer dangerous for the rebel Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ningjun built a cannon array less than a mile outside the north gate. Eleven short and thick mortar cannons, and the base of thick wooden boards was buried in the dirt pit. Two brigades of more than 200 people and engineers from the Weapon Bureau were operating these cannons.
