please make me king

Chapter 74 Siege

Seeing Ma Yingniang running away, Zhang Shun subconsciously glanced back at the women's camp where she was, only to hear the laughter of women coming from inside.Zhang Shun shook his head helplessly, smiled and went back to his big tent in the Chinese army.

That night, Zhang Shun's subordinates went to Zhang Shun's big tent to meet up as usual, only to see that the lights in the tent were dim, and they couldn't see their fingers.Chen Jindou was getting old, his eyesight was not very good, he was almost tripped, he couldn't help but complained: "My lord, I will take care of all the luggage and property in the army, I know our family's wealth best, why can't I be so stingy as to lamp oil? Pity me for being old and weak , if I fall and break my leg, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve my lord."

"Old Chen, it's not that I'm stingy, but I'm really shy and hard to see!" Zhang Shun said with a wry smile.

"Why is this?" Chen Jindou asked generally, and he fumbled to pick out the wick to make the light brighter, but suddenly he heard the big guy's uncontrollable laughter.Chen Jindou looked up, and couldn't help but laugh.

However, Zhang Shun's tent was full of black palm prints, which looked so dense that it made one's skin crawl.It turned out that when Zhang Shun entered the tent that day, Ji Dan foolishly cleaned Zhang Shun's tent with his ink-stained palms, which led to such a tragedy.

Zhang Shun kicked him several times angrily, but this man was rough and thick, he could only giggle, Zhang Shun was helpless.Zhang Shun calmed down everyone's laughter with great difficulty, and suddenly he couldn't help laughing together.He simply waved his hand and said, "Laugh if you want, everyone laughs enough, let's talk about business!"

In the end, everyone laughed, but they couldn't laugh again. Zhang Shun secretly cursed: "Bitch!"He coughed and got to the point.He said: "The second leader 'Zijin Liang' has informed me that we need our cooperation to attack the city tomorrow. What do you think?"

Just as Chen Jindou sat down and calmed down his smile, he replied casually: "My lord, didn't you say that this 'Zijin Liang' ambition is not here, seems to have other intentions? We just have to deal with it."

"Coping is coping, and this coping should have some benefits!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"Ah? What's the benefit of this?" Chen Jingzhi asked honestly, surprised, "Should we exchange some horses, armor, and weapons with cannons? Why is 'Zijin Liang' willing to bleed?"

"Jingzhi is too young. Gold, silver, silk and silk are benefits, as are weapons and armor. Isn't experience in the art of war a benefit?" Zhang Shun said with a smile, "If I suffer a loss this time, wouldn't it be wrong for me?" Mosquito legs The name of "Splitting Fine Meat"?"

Everyone couldn't help being a little embarrassed when they heard the words. This was their private name, and somehow it got into Zhang Shun's ears.On the contrary, Zhang Shenyan, who didn't say a word, glanced at Zhang Shun, and his vigilance towards him rose to the extreme.It's a pity that he still has nothing to do with him now, and he doesn't know whether his son Luxuan has contacted Governor Song Tongyin. Governor Song was able to easily pacify the White Lotus Sect in Xu Pei's land in the early years, and it should be easy to deal with rebellious officials and thieves like Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun didn't know the minds of the people under his command, so he said in detail: "The last time we attacked the city, we attacked the Lin Family Manor. It is only a small mountain village, so it would be so difficult to break through. If it wasn't for my second brother Xiao climbing the Lin Family Cliff and attacking the Lin Family Manor at night , I’m afraid we’re still smashing the Lin Clan Weng City there.”

"Now the 'Zijin Liang' is attacking this Dou Village. This village is more dangerous and strong than the Lin Family Village. It is just a good time to observe how others attack the city. It will save us from encountering similar situations in the future and taking many lives."

When everyone heard the words, they kept saying yes.Zhang Shun saw that everyone had no objection, so he continued: "Zhang Wuhao is in charge of the artillery affairs now, and I will attack the city tomorrow. I am going to let the gunners test fire at the east gate to restrain the guards of Douzhuang. What do you think?"

Naturally, everyone didn't have much opinion, so they discussed a few more points, and then went back to the camp to rest without mentioning it.

On the second day, "Zijin Liang" made all preparations to attack the west gate of Douzhuang with all its strength, so he invited Zhang Shun to "watch the ceremony".Zhang Shun knew very well that the so-called "watching the ceremony" was actually showing off his might to himself, to show his might as the leader of the "Zijin Liang".Zhang Shun didn't care too much about "Zijinliang"'s small thoughts, and led Wukong and Ji Dan to participate early the next morning.

As a result, the location of Douzhuang is very disgusting. Other locations are not conducive to launching an attack. The only west gate that is convenient for attacking happens to face east when attacking.The sun was rising in the east, just shining on the attacking side. "Zijin Liang" attacked many times and suffered from it. Naturally, it knew to avoid this time point and waited until noon to attack.

It's a pity that Zhang Shun didn't know about this situation, so he could only go to his camp early and have breakfast. Most of the "Zijinliang" battalion were from Shaanxi, so Zhang Shun, a newcomer from Henan, would naturally not have a good face.I don't know where they heard about Zhang Shun's failure when he first started casting cannons.

They gathered together in groups of three or four, touched a big old bowl, and chatted while eating. When they saw Zhang, they laughed and said by the way; Stop calling him 'Optimus Prime' and just call him 'Megatron'?"

Min means petty, and they called Zhang Shun "little baby", which meant contemptuously.Who is Zhang Shun, who is not willing to suffer, so he smiled and said: "Old man, don't be happy, I set off a big firecracker, but it is a celebration. If you attack the city today, if you set off a big firecracker, I don't know how many people will die !"

In this era, the explosion of cannons was a common occurrence, and it was taboo in the military.After being cursed by Zhang Shun, those who were angry cursed one after another.Zhang Shun laughed, and took Wukong and Jidan to see "Zijinliang".

At noon, "Zijin Liang" finally ordered to attack the city. The subordinates of "Zijinliang" pushed the pointed wooden donkey slowly towards the west gate of Douzhuang with small flags as the unit.The west gate of Douzhuang is actually not a single gate, but for the convenience of passage and defense, it is divided into two small gates on the left and right.The subordinates of the "Zijin Liang" also divided into left and right teams, a total of seven or eight pointed wood donkeys launched an attack.

The pointed wooden donkey has four wheels under it, and the upper part is made of wood to build a herringbone-shaped structure. It is simple and strong, and it can also reduce the damage to the pointed wooden donkey by throwing stones and logs in the city. It is very delicate. In order to target Dou Zhuang's sharp firearms, "Zijinliang" specially covered the pointed wood donkey with cowhide, and then covered it with cotton armor and soil.

Sure enough, during the pointed wooden donkey operation, Douzhuangcheng fired with Franco machine guns, imitation western guns, fast guns, and three-eyed guns.Either they missed the shot, or they couldn't break through the defense of the pointed wood donkey.

"Zijin Liang" said triumphantly to Zhang Shun, Taoist Wuxu and Han Tingxian: "What do you all think of this thing? Can you break through the gate of Douzhuang in one fell swoop?"

　Thanks to Xiaobaicai for feeding the elephant, thank you!
