Chapter 164 Anqing offense and defense

The poem said: The murderous aura pierces the Changhong, King Ning will go crazy this day.The sound of the golden drum shook the heaven and the earth, it was full of nonsense about Wang Yangming.But when Zhu Chenhao's land and water army arrived in Anqing, he first sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Wenjin, the magistrate of Anqing, and both commanded Yang Rui, ordering them to open the door and surrender as soon as possible. Zhang Wenjin, the prefect, came to command Yang Rui and asked, "Hey, what do you think we should do?" Yang Rui said, "It's still a question. Didn't the governor Wang Shouren write a letter saying that nearly half a million wolf soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi have entered the country, plus hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops. What do you think we should do?"

Zhang Wenjin said: The problem is, everyone knows that Wang Shouren is unreliable and loves to make up nonsense. Yang Rui said: "We can only listen to his nonsense, what can we do?"Anyway, according to what Wang Shouren said, find someone to drag King Ning in Anqing, and not let him go in the direction of Beijing. If King Ning goes there, the court will definitely hold us accountable. After the discussion was settled, Yang Rui came out and asked a craftsman to make a super big sign with three words on it: Suppress traitors!Then in the city, he hired a number of city hooligans with excessive mouths and a variety of swearing tricks with high salaries, and they all flocked to the top of the city tower, and yelled at Zhu Chenhao at the bottom of the city.

When Zhu Chenhao heard the vicious curses from the tower, he was so angry that he was half dead, and said: Yang Rui, you guard such a small Anqing and dare to insult me. If I don't kill you, you will be raised by your sister!Soldiers besieged the city, and recently took Anqing! The vigorous Anqing battle kicked off. However, although the Anqing city is small, it is extremely strong, and the prefect Zhang Wenjin and the commander Yang Rui have already known about Ning's rebellious intentions. You have to hold a stone up, and those who don't hold the stone are not allowed to climb the city.After two years of work, the cannon stones on the city piled up like hills, and it would not be enough to throw them away for a year.Therefore, although there are not many guards in the city, they are properly arranged. Every fifteen meters on the city wall, there is a stove, hanging pots and kettles to boil water and cook porridge. Throwing stones and pouring boiling water made the siege army scream.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Chenhao felt depressed, so he ordered the building of Yunlou.This cloud tower is a necessary weapon for siege in ancient China. It is curved in shape, with a huge wheel underneath, which can be pushed forward, and the soldiers on the roof can jump directly to the top of the city.But it is said that the Yunlou is moving forward, and the soldiers on the top of the building suffocate their strength and are about to jump on the top of the city, but suddenly their eyes go dark, and they see several taller giant buildings protruding from the city. Boulders were thrown up and down, and boiling water was poured down, causing the soldiers on the Siege Cloud Tower to cry loudly on the spot.

While Zhu Chenhao was astonished, he saw Yang Rui standing on the wall and laughing: Are you dumbfounded?Let me tell you, King Ning, your cloud building is outdated a long time ago, and the flying building like mine is popular now, so you should learn a little bit. Zhu Chenhao was furious: Yang Rui, you damned, look at my improved ladder. The so-called improved ladder is a combination of two two-foot-high ladders, shaped like a giant vertical tower, with a closed small empty room inside, the soldiers hide in the empty room, and the four sides are covered with thick wooden boards for protection, with doors at the front and back. , can enter and exit.Seeing the improved ladder slowly approaching the city wall, he didn't pay attention to the sound of "wow" on the city, poured a lot of barrels of tung oil, and then threw the torch, and the improved ladder ignited a raging fire, burning the soldiers inside screaming fall down.

Just as he was in a hurry to get angry, the stranger Liu Yang came over and asked: Your Majesty, what are you doing here? Zhu Chenhao roared: "I want to peel Yang Rui and make him cramp, so as to get rid of the hatred in my heart!" Liu Yangzheng said: This matter is easy, as long as your majesty abandons Anqing, rushes to drive the capital, breaks through Beijing, and ascends the throne as the emperor, when the time comes, his majesty will cram whoever he wants, and he will peel whoever he wants. Pi, okay? Zhu Chenhao was furious: Liu Yangzheng, don't come here to perfuse me, tell me the truth, are you willing to help me capture this Anqing?

Liu Yangzheng sighed and said: Your Majesty, there is really nothing easier than siege a city. You have 70,000 people here. As long as each person carries a bag of soil, you can build a slope under the city wall. You can go directly to the city, why bother. Zhu Chenhao was overjoyed: Then why didn't you say it earlier... Come on, now I announce that all the advisers in the army will come with me to carry the soil, and I want to enter the city now. Liu Yangzheng said: Your Majesty, why don't you just kill me, it's not okay to let me do rough work. If you don't do it, I will do it. I am born to do rough work!Zhu Chenhao got angry, and he really went to the front line, digging mud and loading soil, and carried it on his back, and walked towards the city wall with difficulty.

The boatman replied: This place is Huangshiji. what? What?Wang missed?Zhu Chenhao was furious when he heard the words, and immediately drew his sword, "Pu Chi" hacked the boatman to death: How dare you speak words to mock me, I will kill you! Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and others stood in the distance and shook their heads repeatedly: "Oh, I followed the wrong person. A small Anqing has become like this, and they are talking about annexing the world."
