please make me king

Chapter 1341 Shock
It is said that while the Jiexiu Wang family deployed manpower for defense, they sent envoys to ask for help everywhere.

The Wang's envoy left the Wang's compound in Dajin Village, Jiexiu, and traveled in three directions.

One of them goes north, one of them goes west, and one of them goes all the way south.

Those who went north naturally informed the Ji family and the Hou family, those who went west informed Zhang Sanbai and others, and those who went south informed the rebels in the direction of Lingshi.

Not to mention the other way, let's say that the Wang's envoy had just left Dajin Village for thirty miles all the way to the south, and rushed to Lingshi Realm.

But seeing the bright lights in front, the hustle and bustle of people, the sound of fighting and shouting everywhere, I was startled.

It turned out that Wang Sheng had lost Jiexiu City and had to flee all the way south to Lingshi.

When he passed Lingshikou where Jiexiu and Lingshi meet, he saw two mountains sandwiched together, which was quite steep.

He couldn't help but said: "I lost Jiexiu City, if I go back like this, I'm afraid I will be punished by King Shun."

"I think this place is dangerous. It is the place where Jiexiu must pass in the direction of Pingyang. If you can defend this place, you can make up for it."

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng gathered the defeated army and occupied the inspection department to defend by virtue of the terrain.

Sure enough, after Azig occupied Jiexiu City, his first reaction was to send troops south to capture Lingshi City.

It is said that the son-in-law Yang Guli led two thousand elites, and after parting with Man Dahan and Fan Yongdou, he hurried all the way to Lingshi, just in time to bump into Wang Sheng's troops who were defending here.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

To be honest, Wang Sheng was originally a hero in Yuzhou, and his reputation was not inferior to that of Ren Chen, but his troops were not strong.

Later, Ren Chen was defeated and died, and Wang Sheng took refuge in Li Jiyu.

In the end, Li Jiyu was not the master's talent, and Wang Sheng put him under his command for two years, but in the end he didn't make a name for himself.

It was not until later that he followed Zhang Shun and dispatched staff officers and generals, and then reorganized a battalion for him.

It's just that his battalion was newly established and had never experienced a bloody battle.

Therefore, when they line up against the enemy, they can still be quite satisfactory, but if they are mixed together to catch and fight, they are not as far away as other powerful armies.

This is also the main reason why Wang Sheng's tribe dispersed and fled after Jiexiu City was opened by the Fan family.

However, if it is defended by the city, Wang Sheng's troops are not afraid of the Houjin soldiers.

Therefore, when Wang Sheng and his staff saw the terrain of Lingshikou, they couldn't help but smile happily.

The so-called Lingshikou is the north entrance of Shuque Valley, so Lengquan Pass is located.

Its land is "the plains and wilderness to the north outside the pass, and there are mountains on the left and rivers on the right when entering the pass, which is actually the throat of the north and the south." It is the junction of the Luliang Mountains and the Taiyue Mountains, the most precipitous.

If the Houjin soldiers who came from the north wanted to enter Lingshi territory, they had to capture this place first, and then they could go south.

Wang Sheng deployed troops in the inspection department, and placed the remaining seven or eight cannons on the mountain east of the inspection department, waiting for the Jin soldiers.

After Na Yangguli led the Houjin soldiers to arrive, who knew that this was the remnant of Wang Sheng?

He also said that the guards here were the archers of the inspection department, so he only ordered Niu Luerzhen to lead more than a hundred people to attack the city.

Niu Luer really received the military order, so he dressed neatly and sneaked towards the city of the inspector.

Who would have thought that just as they approached the inspector city, suddenly the flames lit up, and there were two or three hundred gunners shooting "bang bang bang" on the city, killing and wounding twenty or thirty Houjin soldiers on the spot.

"Straight mother thief, damn barbarian!" Yang Guli couldn't help but cursed angrily.

What kind of archer can withstand Hou Jin's attack?Obviously these "damn savages" have set up a line of defense here.

"You dog tartar, I played with you before, but I can't play with you; this time, I'm ready, you just come and attack!" Wang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw that he had made a profit.

"This is." Yang Guli frowned when he heard the words. Although he didn't know that the person in front of him was called Wang Sheng, he somehow guessed the identity of the other party. He couldn't help but sneered, "How dare you bark like a defeated general?"

"And put on a quilt and storm this city!"

Afterwards, Yang Guli sent another Niu Lu to touch the watered quilt to the inspector city.

Since the last time they suffered from the rebels' firearms outside the city of Taiyuan, the "quilt tactic" has become the basic tactic of the Houjin Azig tribe.

Then Wang Shengbu stayed on the second line and never participated in the Taiyuan War. How did he know that the opponent had such a method?
Sure enough, he fired another blunderbuss, but found that the opponent was almost unharmed, unable to penetrate the soaked quilt and armor at all.

"What's going on?" Wang Sheng couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Hurry up, fire the gun!" The staff officer beside him was anxious when he saw this, and he couldn't help reminding him quickly.

"Whatever his tricks are, can he still withstand the artillery?"

When Wang Sheng heard the words, he suddenly realized, and quickly gave an order, ordering the artillery on the east mountain to fire.

The gunners on the hill were too far away, and they couldn't see the enemy's position clearly.

He just watched the flames outside the city of the inspection department, and let the gunners bombard them indiscriminately.

It doesn't matter if the artillery of the rebel army shoots, the siege soldiers of Houjin suffered a big loss immediately.

It turned out that after many battles with the Ming army and the rebel army, the Houjin soldiers who suffered from artillery were not without countermeasures.

Among them, lengthening the formation horizontally, compressing the formation vertically, and allowing the formation to develop in the direction of the horizontal formation are one of the changes in the formation of the Golden Soldiers after these years.

This kind of horizontal formation, because the formation is thin, will not cause too much damage even if it is penetrated by enemy artillery.

It's just that Na Yangguli had no idea. He didn't expect that due to Zhang Shun's "crossfire" theory, the gunners trained by the rebel army liked to bombard the enemy from both sides.

There are rivers and mountains on the left outside the mouth of Lingshi, so it is impossible to realize the "cross" firepower theory perfectly, but half of it is still completely achievable.

And "this half" is erected on the mountain east of the inspection department, and the ballistic trajectory is parallel to the city wall in front of the inspection department.

But when the cannon was fired, it was like a string of gourds, only stringing the Houjin soldiers who attacked the city from east to west.

Often one shell hit can chain seven or eight soldiers.

It was even a bit unlucky to be reminded that more than [-] people were shot by the rebel army.

What kind of quilt and iron armor, in the face of a ten-pound iron bullet, is no different from paper.

"Go up the mountain, go up the mountain!" Seeing such a heavy loss, Yang Guli became impatient, and he couldn't help but dress neatly and lead the soldiers to attack the artillery positions of the rebel army.

Hearing it from left to right, he couldn't help being anxious, and hurriedly pulled him and said: "My son-in-law calm down, my son-in-law calm down, now the lights are dark, the mountain is steep and the road is impassable, how can we make it?"

"In my opinion, it's not too late to go up the mountain before dawn and the road can be seen clearly!"

After hearing the words, Nayang Guli also knew that this was the only way to go, so he had to order his soldiers to surround the north side of the inspection department temporarily, but wait until dawn to make further calculations.
