please make me king

Chapter 935

It is said that the three of them were defeated and retreated to Nanyang City. When they saw Zhennan General Xiao Qinhu, they couldn't help but feel ashamed and said: "We have been entrusted with important tasks by King Shun and the general. I don't want to be entrusted with the entrustment. I also ask the general to act according to military law!"

Xiao Qinhu in the south of that town was born as a hunter on the Taihang Mountains, and he was proficient in hunting tigers and leopards since he was a child.

The tigers and leopards are far more powerful and faster than ordinary people, and they are very alert, so they are difficult to capture and kill.

If you want to capture and kill such animals, firstly, you should not be afraid, secondly, you should be familiar with the terrain, thirdly, understand their habits, and then set up a net to catch them, which is similar to the method of using soldiers.

Xiao Qinhu has been haunting tigers and leopards since he was a child, and he knows the truth.

Therefore, when he looked at the expressions of the people, he knew that they were restless and panicked after suffering a big loss.

He couldn't help shouting sharply: "Nanyang is the gate of Heluo! King Shun entrusted me with a heavy responsibility to supervise the generals."

"If the crime should be judged by the general, how can we take the blame and blame others?"

"Since you know how to fight, you should know that victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. If you suffer a loss today, you will get it back tomorrow. How can you not think of a strategy to defeat the enemy, but instead disturb our army's morale?"

Xiao Qinhu's words were like a slap in the face, everyone who drank was startled, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "What the general said is true, we are willing to follow the general to kill the enemy!"

"What is the enemy's situation, please tell me in detail!" Seeing that the generals had been stabilized temporarily, Xiao Qinhu continued to ask.

Don't look at some people who are full of glory and high-spirited on weekdays. Once they have a slight setback, they will shake their minds, behave inappropriately, and even fall into a depression, because their will is not strong.

In the past, the "king of fighting for the world" Liu Xiyao, the "king of sweeping the floor" Zhang Yichuan and Ren Guangrong had not suffered setbacks.

It's just that since they followed Zhang Shun, they have won consecutive battles and thrived, and they have long regarded themselves as unworldly talents.

As a result, once they broke away from Zhang Shun's direct command, they suffered such a big loss.

Only now did the three of them know who was "leading the flight" in the past, and who was the "color pen". How can this mentality not collapse?
Seeing Zhennan General Xiao Qinhu take up the responsibility, the three breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly described the situation of the officers and soldiers.

It's not that Xiao Qinhu had never fought Huguang governor Xiong Wencan before, but the opponent came and went quickly, and before his military order was delivered to the three of them, they were defeated by the officers and soldiers flowing down the water.

After listening to everyone's narration, Xiao Qinhu discovered that Huguang governor Xiong Wencan had Zhang Shun's "true biography" and also liked to suppress opponents with powerful artillery.

It's just that in addition, he has more powerful cavalry and sailors as assistants.

You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia's [-] Guanmen iron cavalry can be used to cover the battlefield, and the navy under Xiong Wencan can transport and protect the supplies and grass, and can cut off the support of the rebel army. It is really difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qinhu couldn't help but said firmly: "The plan for now is just two strategies."

"Xiong Wencan came prepared now, and the troops under his command are twice as many as ours, so he is not enough to fight. If we fight, we can only defend ourselves when we are tired, and then look for the weak spots, and then wait for the opportunity to move."

"Now, apart from Wu Xian's first battalion, which is far away in Xichuan, there are only four battalions in the city. I want one person to be in charge of a city gate, and equip the guards with equipment as soon as possible to wait for the officers and soldiers. What do you think?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Everyone responded quickly when they heard the words, but Ren Guangrong frowned and said, "It's just that the thief cannon is fierce, I wonder if the general has a countermeasure?"

Xiao Qinhu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said with a mysterious face: "Everyone, come here, I have a plan, to ensure that although Xiong Wencan's artillery is ruthless, it will be useless!"

How can everyone believe what they hear?They couldn't help stretching their ears over, Xiao Qinhu said something like this, everyone couldn't help but applaud, and then they took their orders and went.

Only then did Xiao Qinhu secretly heave a sigh of relief, quickly took a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and sent the guards to Luoyang overnight.

After another two or three days, Xiong Wencan, governor of Huguang, led the army to the city of Nanyang.

Zhennan General Xiao Qinhu went up to the city to see it, and couldn't help but feel shivering.

I saw a sea of ​​people outside the city, and several groups of officers and soldiers lined up densely outside the city, as if it was boundless.

The first row is the firearms battalion of the officers and soldiers, more than [-] artillery pieces are densely arranged, and the dark muzzles are pointing obliquely at Nanyang City.

After that, Xu Chengming's [-] soldiers from the township lined up in the middle, with Zhai Wen on the left and Zhang Yingchang on the right. A total of [-] officers and soldiers lined up in the front line.

Afterwards came Huguang governor Xiong Wencan's [-] Chinese army, whose formation was mixed with spears and bird guns, resembling the shape of a bastion.

After that, there are five thousand closed-door iron cavalry of You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia, watching intently, as if ready to pounce on the enemy at any time.

On its side, there are more than a hundred ships floating on the Feishui River, ready to complete support and interception tasks at any time.

Xiao Qinhu smacked his lips, and couldn't help but ordered: "Everyone guard the city and don't fight!"

Although it is said that the law of defending the city should not be guarded, but the officers and soldiers are airtight and there is no flaw. If they go to battle rashly now, they will just lose the lives of the soldiers in vain.

That Xiong Wencan is also a man who knows the soldiers. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the city.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "The generals defending the city don't know how to fight, and just focus on defending to the death. We can know the victory of our army!"

Hearing the words from the left and right, they all slipped and patted their horses and said: "Putting the army slightly, the world is in danger, and those who can calm the world must Fu the army!"

"Hey, too much reputation, too much reputation, it's not too late to say this until the Shun thief is captured and killed!" Huguang governor Xiong Wencan said proudly.

Seeing that Xiao Qinhu was hiding in the city, Xiong Wencan did not lose his mind and ordered the soldiers to attack fiercely.

Instead, according to the original plan, let the firearms battalion set up artillery and slowly bombard Nanyang City.

Nanyang City, as the prefecture and the seat of the Tang clan, is naturally extremely strong.

The officers and soldiers bombarded for a long time, and when it was getting late, Xiong Wencan sent Xu Chengming to lead the township soldiers to attack the city.

The huge siege equipment was driven by many soldiers, and quickly approached Nanyang City. The officers and soldiers with the siege equipment jumped out one after another and jumped onto the Nanyang city wall.

It's just that the officers and soldiers didn't have a firm foothold, and suddenly heard a rushing sound, and then many soldiers of the rebel army jumped out as if by magic, and charged over.

There were not many officers and soldiers ascending the city, and they were unable to form an array. Where was the opponent of the rebel army, they were immediately defeated and retreated.

Some who failed to withdraw in time were beheaded on the spot by the rebels and threw their bodies from the city wall.

"Heh, the traitors dare to resist? Let me continue to bombard you!" Xiong Wencan couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.

Three or four times like this, the officers and soldiers attacked the city day and night from morning to night, but they were beaten out every time.

"What the hell is this?" Xiong Wencan, governor of Huguang, was about to cry. What about the promise that "the Hongyi cannon is invincible and smashes everything it hits"?

Why can't even suppress the thieves on the top of the city? What's going on?
