Chapter 240 An old song

8days ago Historical fiction 8
The morning after the light rain is very fresh, with half-dry water stains remaining on the road, and the air is filled with the coolness of late spring..

In the Zuixian Tower, you can hear the chirping of birds among the treetops outside. The birds flew away after the last gunfire, but the war stopped for a few days and they came back bravely.

Just like Zhu Yong's troops, news came early in the morning that the official army was leaving the camp and heading west.

They are back.

The Peach Blossom Fairy came to Zhang Ning when she woke up in the morning, and silently watched him dress quickly but rigorously.

His fingers were long and powerful, his movements were steady but very flexible and accurate. The golden buckle on his belt was tied to the exact position with a light sound, and the sound sounded very comfortable, like simple music.

The Peach Blossom Fairy was a little distracted. She thought that if someone like Zhang Ning trained to be an assassin, she would definitely do well. Of course, being an assassin is not as good as having a future in studying.

She wanted to apologize for what happened last night, but since she was willing to come to see him again, she didn't have to say anything more.

The Peach Blossom Fairy was very conflicted in her heart. Zhang Ning always gave him a good impression, and she was elegant and gentle.

A sentence: The peach blossom immortal planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms for money. What a free and easy state, and he only envyed the mandarin ducks but not the immortals. His gentle and affectionate nature made people obsessed with it.

The Peach Blossom Fairy remembered the dark night in the Miao Army camp again. His hand grabbed her wrist and the difficulty of letting go. Isn’t it love?

She always fantasized about having a great man treating herself sincerely. Even if such good things are difficult in the world, a little dream always makes people happy.

But last night, a person who was extremely elegant in her heart asked for such dirty things, which made her heart a little confused.

I even wondered whether I had a dream last night was not true.

Because Zhang Ning in front of her returned to her usual gentle and calmness, exuding a wonderful aura that made her body soft.

Is breakfast delivered?

Zhang Ning glanced at the Taohua Fairy and said that he didn't seem to care about the unpleasantness that happened last night, and his attitude towards her had not changed at all.

The Peach Blossom Fairy thought that a man would be angry if he was rejected.

It is reported that the enemy has advanced towards Gaodu, and he is still in the mood to have breakfast?

Not only was Zhang Ning in the mood to have breakfast, but he also brushed his teeth with a toothbrush first.

The official army camp was five miles away, and the march required a process. It was impossible that they had just explored them and soon the troops were coming to the city.

Zhang Ning's condition is very good. It rained lightly last night. The cool temperature made him sleep well. Although he couldn't taste the joy of being warm and soft, he was in a good state from the inside out.

He was already full of confidence and prepared to face Zhu Yong's challenge.

At the top of the city of Gaodu Xicheng, Zhang Ning held the sword and sat on the chair he had placed for him. He held the sword to the ground, spread his legs apart and sat there in a large posture.

Teams of armed soldiers with uniform armor drove out of the city gate and lined up outside the city. This scene made him inexplicably excited.

Slowly, the officers and soldiers entered their sight. Their positions were farther than the previous one and were outside the range of artillery.After suffering a loss once, I will definitely not make the same mistake again.

It seems that Zhu Yong's combat deployment today has changed a little. He arranged the cavalry on the front and did not hide it.The infantry army was moving northward.

In this situation, Zhu Yong has fewer soldiers today than last time, and he is going to besiege us?Zhou Mengxiong murmured while looking around.

Lao Xu said: If the enemy soldiers do not attack the war soldiers outside the city and attack the city directly, we just need to withdraw the soldiers who are carrying the city to defend the city, and their cavalry will no longer be used; even the official army cannot defeat the field battle, how can we capture the city?

Perhaps Zhu Yong was not trying to conquer the city, but his purpose was to force us into the city.

Zhou Mengxiong pointed at the cavalrymen and horses in the distance in the front. The cavalry were arranged there, which might be to threaten our infantry and attack the siege soldiers.

After hearing the two of them, Zhang Ning spoke: General Zhou’s words are very reasonable.

Only an army that really has no fighting power will hide in the city and defend it. Zhang Ning is not optimistic about such a battle.

No matter how strong a city is, its effect will be minimal without the ability to attack; just like the Yongding Guards who were defeated in the field before, although they could not be broken in the Guards, they could not stop Zhang Ning from mobilizing a large number of troops and craftsmen from the west.

What's more, what's the point of guarding the city of Gaoducheng?Zhang Ning has only one goal: to defeat Zhu Yong's main force.

A set of ideas quickly formed in Zhang Ning's mind.

He redeployed his troops and ordered the four gates to be closed tightly. The main force still set up a formation under the city, but formed a four-circular formation. Wei Bin, who was outside the city, received the order that once the North City and the East City were attacked, he would lead his army to attack the siege troops.

The so-called four circular formations are actually just that. The four circular formations are mainly spearmen and firearms, with more than 200 people in each formation; in contrast, the thin long square formation of the last time was easily torn and even defeated by cavalry when it moved. The four circular formations were not able to prevent the fast horses from approaching close to each other, even if one of the formations was defeated, it would still not affect the establishment of the entire army.

Last time, Wei Bin suddenly discovered that the cavalry was attacking while chasing, and there was no time to change the formation, so this time Zhang Ning ordered to deploy at the cavalry from the beginning.

In the end, the infantry fights cavalry, but they can only be passively beaten and wait for others to attack. If the cavalry doesn't come, you have no choice.

Zhang Ning speculated that once the main force of the Suzaku Army began to move, the official cavalry would rush over, and then he could compete with the official cavalry under the city.

As for Zhu Yong's infantry, judging from his performance last time, he was really weak in combat and was very likely to collapse.

Therefore, in addition to maintaining more than 200 people defending the city, Zhang Ning only drew a large brigade of firearms and soldiers to garrison. The defender was commanded by the Qianzheng of the Right Post, Yao Erlang, and Zhang Ning's cousin. Since Zhu Yong wanted to attack the city, he could use a small number of infantry to restrain them.

The main force is still placed in Xicheng first, because it doesn't make any sense to change to other directions now. Zhu Yong has not launched an attack yet, so he can temporarily change the direction of the attack.

The two sides were ready for a long time, and the sun had risen, and there was finally movement in the official camp in the distance.

The infantry took the lead and dispatched. As expected, the large group of soldiers did not rush to the west city, but came straight to the city from the north.

The government and infantry rushed forward with sparse and loose square formations. More than 2,000 people scattered were quite spectacular, and the troops also brought siege equipment, mainly ladders and rushing cars.

Obviously, Zhu Yongjun's heavy weapons were not prepared enough, and he could not get large equipment such as well railings and Huihuans...

It was obvious that they were here to attack the city.

If such a sparse formation is used for field battles, it is undoubtedly a failure. When the two armies face to face, the more people, the more they fight, the less they fight. If four people are fighting together with long and short weapons, it is generally easy to win. Therefore, the more dense the formation, the more they fight, the less they fight, the more they fight.

However, when siege, Zhu Yong may have considered the attacks of artillery and muskets, and the sparseness of the upper can reduce casualties.

Zhang Ning ordered the artillery to adjust its orientation and launch a round of strike and deterrence to the siege troops coming up.

The artillery was arranged in the west city, and the distance on the side was still within the attack range, but there would be dead corners below the north city and the east city.

Amid the sound of cannons, the shells roared over the heads of the soldiers on the north city wall, and then fell to the distance and exploded.

The sound of cannons and thick smoke once again kicked off the battle.

As Zhang Ning knew, the bombs filled with black gunpowder were very limited, and the effect this time was even worse.

First, the government army has seen this thing and will not be caught off guard. Second, the effect of falling into their sparse formation has been reduced a little.

Many shells even hit nothing and exploded in the open space.

They have a little more effect on morale damage.

The army in North City came the fastest and quickly approached the city wall. The muskets on the city began to fire, but failed to defeat the invading place in one round, and did not stop their momentum.

The defenders had fewer firearms, and the density of the wall-stacked perforations was not large, so the firepower coverage was poor, which affected the lethality. There was no way to talk about the accuracy of a single lead bullet at a long distance.

The height of the city wall is not very effective for lead bullets approaching a straight line, unlike bows and arrows that can be shot at high places with heavy arrows.

The rhythm of the battle has begun unstoppable, and Zhang Ning hopes that the army guarding the city can defend it.According to his previous plan, he ordered Wei Bin to start moving north and attack the troops siege on the side.

A few horns sounded, and the generals walked in unison and shouted from the noise of various sounds.

The people under the city began to slowly move northward.

Zhang Ning looked at the horse team in the distance, waiting for the next rhythm.

War is sometimes like a song that I have heard many times. After devoting myself to it, you can feel when the next drum beat will be ringed, like a performance.

In fact, war was originally an art. Before the Warring States Period, the war between the two armies was very polite. The two armies were arranged to conduct a bloody competitive performance based on chariots, which was also a noble activity, and conspiracy was despised. However, the results of the war later inspired people's desires, and the results began to be more important than the process. Therefore, the warriors, the deceitful, fought by any means to win the victory, and then began to rise to the mainstream in a dignified place, and evolved into the final evolution of the country and the destruction of the country and the destruction.

But no matter how you use any means, there are still traces to follow, and there are always some rules to make the process more effective.

The horse team finally went out, without any surprises or surprises.

The entire cavalry began to jog on the horizon, and the sound of horse hooves could be shocked on the city head more than a mile away.

As far as we know, Zhu Yong's horse team had less than a thousand soldiers, but he still showed great momentum at this moment.

There is a record of a war in history where hundreds of thousands of cavalry are dispatched, but I don’t know what the scene is.
