Chapter 54 Jinling City Breaks

Wang Meng’s army grandiose marched into the city.

The soldiers lined up in a row, aligning left and right, and the formation was so impressive that they were stunned when they saw the officials and the common people.

Fortunately, it came down, otherwise such an army of tigers and wolves would not be able to stop it for a long time.

At the top of the city, a middle aged scholar watched the Huaixi army with a mighty appearance and strict discipline, standing in place without the command of the coach.

“Strong army!” The scribe exclaimed.

Looking at Wang Meng at the front again, the scribe secretly said in one’s heart: “This person is a hero! The thieves of all dynasties and dynasties love to destroy the city, kill, loot, and coerce the people. Being able to restrain the generals, treat the officials and the people kindly, and have a bright future as a master.”

……

Wang Meng’s men are familiar with the matter of being surrendered

Soon, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong took over the seals in the city, the account books of the treasury, and the population booklet, and began to count them.

In the barracks, Wang Meng was listening to Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang reporting the materials that should be painted.

Not long after that, news came from a small school: “General Manager, an outsider has come to see a scribe.”

Wang Meng frowned suddenly: “Who?”

“He said he was Tao An, the head of Mingdao Academy.”

Wang Meng had never heard the name, but he still opened the mouth and said: “Please come in.”

After a while, a middle aged scholar came in and bowed his hands to Wang Meng: “Tao An, the head of Mingdao Academy, sees the general.”

Wang Meng looked at the scholar with great interest, opened the mouth and said: “I don’t know, sir, what’s the matter?”

Tao An immediately opened the mouth and said respectfully: “There is a lot of excitement in the world, heroes fight together, Ming Gong crosses the river, Shenwu does not kill, people’s hearts are Yuefu, obeying the heavens and obeying the people, and slaughtering people, the world is not peaceful!”

Wang Meng was stunned when he heard the words.

Not to mention Wang Meng, even Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were stunned when they heard the words, and looked at Tao An with some doubts.

It’s not that I don’t understand it, but I understand it too well!

The words used in this article are actually not difficult to understand. In short, this is the flattery of Wang Meng.

And one shot is a large series, with the words and phrases of the crepe, which is very coquettish.

Wang Meng and the others were stunned, they were all overwhelmed by Tao An, they had never seen such an angry flattery.

Or their level is too low, the education level of the three is not high.

For a traditional scribe like Tao An, such a statement is normal.

To shoot the emperor’s flattery in Imperial Court, there must be enough culture, vulgar language, literati disdain to speak.

To shoot the emperor’s flattery, you must try to figure out the holy meaning, and use gorgeous rhetoric to shoot out the flattery without the sound of the wind, but it can scratch the emperor’s itch.

In history, Yan Song’s father and son, the digital prime ministers of Qingci, and even the upright Yu Qiangong are all well-known figures among them.

Wang Meng was not used to it for a while, and after a while, he opened the mouth and said: “Sir, you can be more casual.”

“I don’t know what is going on here, Mr. “

Tao An immediately reacted, and he spoke a little in writing.

Tao An opened the mouth and said: “An came here to make an offer to the general.”

Wang Meng frowned slightly: “Offer?”

Tao An opened the mouth and said: “Please general to attack Jinling. Jinling is the capital of ancient emperors. It has a population of one million and countless money and grain. Since we are in the four directions, why can’t we do it?”

Wang Meng glanced at Tao An in surprise, “We came to cross the river south to get Jinling.”

Tao An He praised: “The general has a long-term strategy, An Baifu!”

After finishing speaking, Tao An looked at Wang Meng expectantly.

Wang Meng looked at Tao An’s eyes, and immediately reacted: “Mr. talented, would you like to stay in the shogunate?”

Tao An immediately respectfully nodded: “Solid. I don’t dare to quit.”

Tao An’s talent Wang Meng is still unclear, but he is a scholar with a reputation, and he also took the initiative to propose and apply.

Wang Meng is also willing to accept it.

……

A few days later, outside Jinling City.

Wang Meng has led the army to besiege Jinling for five days, and he has not been able to capture it.

This city is a famous city in the world, an important town in the south, with a population of nearly one million.

Jinling City is really too difficult to attack. It has a huge and sturdy city wall, complete defense equipment, and other bed crossbows that are rarely seen in the city are directly used as bows and arrows here.

On the first day of the tentative siege, the Huaixi army lay down more than 600 people.

In the days that followed, no matter whether it was the land fortifications of the project or the large-scale siege equipment, it could not bring the slightest threat to the official army.

Countless crossbows on the left and right blocked the advance of the Huaixi Army.

A city like this is absolutely difficult to capture unless it is filled with human lives, or besieged until the city runs out of food.

These days, more than 10,000 soldiers have died under Jinling City.

Of course, most of them are descendants.

After all, it is better to die than one’s own.

It is also the use of these soldiers to siege the city.

Only did Wang Meng know that Sun Xiao and Chang Yuchun killed and surrendered behind their backs.

To punish one person with twenty military sticks, of course, after breaking the city.

“Manager, Secretary Tao is back.”

Wang Meng smiled when he heard the words, after the first day of the siege was over.

Wang Meng knew such a city wall, and there were only two ways to break it.

The first is to consume human life, but Wang Meng was reluctant and could not afford it.

The second is to use clever methods.

The siege is a clever way, but it is not practical, after all, there are countless provisions in the city.

This Tao An gave Wang Meng a surprise. The old pedant came up with two clever methods.

The first method is to cooperate with the inside and the outside. Tao An has some connections in the city, but this method is a bit difficult and no one is willing to do it.

The second method is to attack the hole.

It is very difficult to enter the city from the tunnel, because the tunnel must be very wide, can accommodate a large number of soldiers to enter the city quickly, and experienced guards can easily detect the direction of the tunnel.

And then build another inner wall at the inner corner of the city to completely block the way!

To destroy the city wall is to dig the tunnel under the city wall, hollow out the city wall, support it with wooden stakes, and then set fire below.

The city wall will collapse after the fire breaks the supporting stakes, and then the siege army will enter the city through the gap.

Comparatively speaking, this method is very difficult to operate, but the probability of success is very large, and it is not easy to be disturbed.

The reason why I didn’t use all my strength to attack the city these days is that I was waiting for Tao An to come back. These days Tao An went to find someone who could complete such technical work.

Not long after, Tao An walked into the tent: “reporting to the lord, An brought back 3,000 miners”

When there are iron mines over there, there are naturally miners.

These people are all good at soil work and can help complete the acupoint attack.

Of course, Wang Meng improved the acupoint attack again

It was to use gunpowder to dig tunnels and then blast the city wall.

The formidable power of gunpowder may not be enough, but with the method of hole attacking and hollowing out, it will definitely be able to break the city!

……

Five days later, at the head of Jinling City, the Yuan army guards looked down at the city with a cold face, preparing to attack the city again.

In the past few days, the Huaixi thieves threw thousands of corpses under the city, but did not move a single step.

The guard scolded twice, “Fuck you’re not afraid of death!”

Outside Jinling City, in the Huaixi barracks, countless soldiers dressed in heavy armor lined up to attack. These are Wang Meng’s personal guards, the most valiant warriors in the Huaixi army.

The original 3,000 people have gradually expanded to the current 8,000.

This time, Wang Meng is ready to attack.

Of course, there is another opportunity to wait for the next one!

Countless Huaixi soldiers are staring at the direction of the city gate!

Boom! ! !

In an instant, a strong roaring explosion broke out. The sound was very heavy, and it directly shook the surrounding land.

The earth moved and the mountain cracked, and the dust filled the sky in an instant.

At the moment when time stopped, the panic and panic on the city wall began to spread wantonly.

“Earth Dragon has turned over!”

Boom!

A corner of Jinling city wall suddenly shattered out of thin air.

Countless large azurite bricks splashed in the sound of the explosion, and thick smoke erupted from the rammed earth inside.

It was as if the mountains were beginning to roar, huge pieces of rock tumbling down the walls, the sound of crash-bang rubble, and a huge plume of smoke hanging over the ground.

“The city wall…the city wall has collapsed!!!”

At this time, a huge gap appeared in the city wall of Jinling City, and the broken wall gave The attacking Huaixi Army has paved a way forward.

“Brothers!”

“Kill up and break the city!”

“Kill!”

hiding the sky and covering The cries of the earth came, and the soldiers of the Huaixi Army rushed towards the city wall with siege vehicles and ladders.

The officers and soldiers in the city ran around like flies without heads, and the soldiers were in chaos.

A torrent under the city, under the guidance of the Huaixi Army’s Wangzi banner, rushed up howling.

lance is like a forest, looking down at him.

“Charge!”

The officers in the front row heard the sound of advancing suona.

Instructing the soldiers to follow the rhythm of the suona, level the lance, and advance to assassinate.

Sun Xiao and Chang Yuchun were wearing heavy armor and shouted suddenly, “Kill!”

Zhou Yong also led the cavalry, and the horses roared out, rushing out from the side, straight Run into the city!

“Kill!”

The soldiers of the official army had no intention of fighting again and fled in a hurry.

Under the leadership of officers, more and more soldiers entered Jinling.

After a long time, the king’s banner was finally planted at the head of Jinling City, and the three armies under the city were even more excited.

The city of Jinling is broken!

In October of the 14th year of Yuan Zhizheng, Wang Meng’s army besieged Jinling for the tenth day. Tao An offered a plan to break through the city.

The Yuan general Fushou led more than 800,000 soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender.
