please make me king

Chapter 1295 Determination
The fighting outside Taiyuan City continued.

The trenches, like poisonous snakes, sprang out of their respective "nests" and meandered towards the opponent's "seven inches".

Wave after wave of Ming troops jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the trenches of the rebels.

The rebels also responded unceremoniously. First, they used the "Flying Bullet" to slam the enemy in the trench, and then fired a volley of firecrackers to kill the enemy. Intense hand-to-hand combat.

Bloody water, wreckage, broken armor, and broken blades were all intertwined, forming a bloody Shura field.

And at the edge of this Shura field, there is a person standing on a high observation deck to examine all this.

When he saw these things before, he would feel fear, nausea, pity, and empathy, but now only the word numbness remains.

"Baigu, you said we stand on this stage and look down, what do they look like?" Zhang Shun, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help asking.

"Probably, probably like a group of ants?" Sun Chuanting was a little uncertain about Zhang Shun's intentions,

"Yeah, just like ants!" Zhang Shun couldn't hear the emotion in his words, and nodded.

"Confucius climbed Dongshan and made Lu smaller, and climbed Taishan and made the world smaller. If a sage is like this, let alone me and ordinary people?"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Shun's words didn't sound wrong at first glance, but after careful consideration, the word "ant" was a bit harsh.

Sure enough, Zhang Shun laughed and said: "This man, after standing on a high place for a long time, he will easily lose himself."

"We regard the people under the stage as ants, how do we know that we are not one of these ants?"

"What does King Shun mean?" Sun Chuanting seemed to have a clue.

"That's why I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if I don't have time to finish what I want to do, I will become that 'arrogant ant'." Zhang Shun shook his head and said with determination.

"So I can only try to be as fast as possible, and try to solve the problems that are blocking me before I get arrogant."

"for example?"

"For example, the Ming army in front of us!"

It was no wonder that Zhang Shun was so anxious. It turned out that according to the opportunity set by the rebel army, the Jin army should have joined the battlefield half a month later.

However, no one expected Houjin to react quickly, and just before the rebel army was about to encircle Taiyuan, he suddenly appeared outside the Dushibao of Xuanfu.

Dushibao is thousands of miles away from Taiyuan. Although it sounds very far away, for the post-Jin army with many horses, it is only ten days' forced march.

And once the Hou Jin army appeared outside Taiyuan City, it would mark the complete failure of the rebel army's plan to attack Shanxi.

In a war where two sides become three parties, Zhang Shun's control over the entire battle situation will completely collapse.

The key to war sometimes does not necessarily depend on the level of beheading, nor the geometry of siege. The most important thing is to "destroy people and not kill people".

What is meant by "to others but not to others"?
If you use a popular word, it is the term "rhythm" that Zhang Shun used to play real-time strategy games in his previous life.

The so-called "rhythm" in the game refers to a series of tactical arrangements such as when to pull the tower, when to fight the dragon, when to invade the wild area, and when to fight in groups.

These arrangements are closely intertwined and do not allow the other party to take a breather.

And once the "rhythm is lost" and the opponent readjusts its tactics and strategy, the side that had previously gained the advantage is likely to fall into a passive state.

The current situation of the rebel army is also similar to Zhang Shun's previous life playing games.

Originally, according to the original strategy of the rebel army, when to take Jiangzhou and Pingyang, when to take Fenzhou and Zelu, when to take Sanguan and Taiyuan, and when to compete for Xuanda, they all proceeded step by step according to the established plan.

As a result, with the intrusion of the Hou Jin army, everything was completely messed up.

How to do?How to do!
Since "the rhythm is lost", I will get it back!
Standing on the high observation tower, Zhang Shun watched the soldiers of the Rebel Army and the soldiers of the Ming Army keep coming and going and fighting each other in the trenches below, and couldn't help thinking.

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Sun Chuanting waited for a while, but when Zhang Shun was not seen, he couldn't help asking.

Although he doesn't understand the word "the rhythm has lost", he also understands that the current plan cannot keep up with the changes, and it is time for the rebels to adjust their strategy.

Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, did not make a name for himself. This time, he stationed his camp in the northeast of the rebel camp.

It is close to the mountains in the east and Taiyuan in the north. It is not only far away from the Fen River, but also has a high terrain.

If Zhang Shun wanted to repeat the "flooding of the Seventh Army" outside Xi'an this time, it would be in vain.

After much deliberation, Sun Chuanting had no choice but to hit head-on.

It's just that the number of the two sides is basically the same now, and the Ming army is sticking to the camp. Even if the rebel army can defeat the Ming army in the night battle, they cannot completely annihilate the enemy.

Faced with such a difficult situation, what is your solution, King Shun?

Sure enough, Zhang Shun only heard Zhang Shun avoid talking about strategy, instead he looked left and said to him: "I wonder how many flying midge cannons are there in the camp?"

"There are still [-] midge cannons, and only three to five hundred shells are used. They are usually used for training gunners." Sun Chuanting did not expose it, but replied seriously.

This is a gadget that emerged during the Jiajing period. It has a short range, less charge, and impressive lethality.

It is not so much artillery as it is used for bluffing.

Since the introduction of Francophones and Western cannons, these things have basically been eliminated.

Nowadays, apart from Zhang Shun's sudden whim, which was used to train Feibiao gunners, only the warehouses of the Ming army and some guards, and Ding Zhuang still have them in their hands.

If you want to count on defeating the enemy, it is more feasible to count on Song Xiance's method of summoning the thunder to kill Zhu Xieyuan.

"Three to five hundred? Too little, too little!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile, "Let the craftsmen make it overnight, at least another five hundred pieces, which is barely enough."

"Ah? Your Highness, are you really planning to use this?" Sun Chuanting couldn't help being stunned, and couldn't believe his ears.

"To some extent it is!" Zhang Shun nodded and smiled confidently.

"It's just that my flower bomb may be different from his flower bomb. I hope I won't scare you by then!"

"King Shun said it's feasible, so let's do it!" Sun Chuanting also knew that Zhang Shun was a veteran in military affairs, and he knew a lot about flying midge cannons, so he would definitely not aim at nothing.

"Why, you're still not convinced?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"Sun Baigu, let the king be a little tricky first, and when the craftsmen make this thing, you will know how powerful it is."

"As for the method of defeating the enemy, it won't be too late to talk about it until the flower bomb is made tomorrow!"

No, you really have a way to defeat the enemy?
Sun Chuanting looked Zhang Shun up and down in disbelief, finally nodded and said: "Okay, then the subordinates will wait and see!"
