Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 366
Except for Wang Sanwa, the other soldiers who returned home looked like this. The whole family sat around quietly and had a reunion dinner.

……

Man Gui stood at the outermost part of the camp and quietly looked at Yunchuan Wei in front of him.

Yunchuanwei is located in the west of Datong Town, not very far from Datong Town.

"Haven't the defenders in the city surrendered yet?" Man Gui looked at Yunchuanwei not far away, his face was full of coldness.

The guard standing behind said: "My lord, the soldiers left behind in the Yunchuan Guard have no intention of surrendering at all. The troops we sent to persuade them to surrender were also blocked outside the city by them."

Since Man Gui led the [-] soldiers that Zhao Wen assigned to him into Datong Town, Man Gui quickly held most of Datong Town, including Datong Town, in his hands.

In the entire Datong Town, there is only one left from Yunchuanwei to the west that has not been taken by Man Gui.

Among the occupied cities, Mangui will leave some troops to control the city.

So now Mangui still has nearly 5000 troops in his hands.

Although Man Gui was the commander-in-chief of Datong, Chongzhen had already designated Man Gui as a rebel, and at the same time announced the news to the world.

Although the frontier army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was extremely corrupt, there were also generals who were loyal to the Ming court. Today, the guard of Yunchuanwei is such a person.

The guard of Yunchuanwei is called Zuo Ming, and he is a man in his early 30s.

Wearing armor, he stood on the top of Yunchuanwei's city, looking at the Mangui barracks that could be vaguely seen in the moonlight, with a serious expression on his face.

"General, just now the traitor general Man Gui sent someone to persuade him to surrender, but we beat him back." A servant behind him looked at Zuo Ming with a dull expression.

Man Gui arrived the night before, and since he arrived, he has been sending people to persuade him to surrender.

In just a few days, there were more than 30 times just to persuade them to surrender.

Zuo Ming said coldly: "Hmph, I thought Man Gui was a loyal minister who was loyal to the country, but I didn't expect him to be a shameless villain.

Give me an order, from now on, if there are any people who persuade you to surrender, they will be shot directly by me. "

"General, Mangui has 2000 soldiers, and our city has more than [-] soldiers at full count, which is not enough."

The strength of a guard in the Ming Dynasty was about 600, but that was in the early days of the founding of the country. Now a guard can have 3000 men, which is not bad. What's more, when Mangui led troops to the capital, they were transferred from Yunchuanwei. 1000 people.

Zuo Ming turned around and looked at the servant, "From now on, gather all the young and strong people in the city and let them go to the city wall."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Jia Ding cupped his fists at Zuo Ming, and then led several people towards the city.

Zuo Ming looked at the servant who left, and heaved a sigh of relief, "I don't know how long I can hold on."

As the night gradually darkened, Man Gui turned around and looked at the guards behind him, "Give me an order. At dawn tomorrow, all the artillery in the general will be pulled out for me. Within half an hour, you must send them to me." Blow down the Yunchuanwei City."

"Your subordinates take orders!" The guard yelled, and then ran to the rear, delivering Man Gui's order.

Although Man Gui is not familiar with Zuo Ming, he also knows this person, after all, he used to be his subordinate.

"Zuo Ming, Zuo Ming, I gave you a way to survive. If you don't want it yourself, then don't blame me." Man Gui's eyes were full of murderous intent.

The night is slowly passing by, and the dawn is approaching.

The artillery in the camp also began to pull various artillery to the front of the camp.

Among these artillery are 152mm cannon howitzers, 120mm mortars and 107mm rocket launchers.

Among them, there are five 152mm cannon howitzers and 107mm rocket launchers, and ten 120mm mortars.

The number of these artillery pieces does not seem to be much, but it is not too easy to attack the city of this era.

When the sun all jumped out of the horizon, the artillery positions had been deployed.

Man Gui stood behind the artillery position, holding up his binoculars and looking at the Acropolis of Yunchuanwei in front of him.

Zuo Ming led the servants behind him, patrolling the city wall non-stop.

"Brothers, there are Mangui rebels outside the city. This guy has turned to Zhao Wen. Now he is no longer the general soldier of Datong. He is our enemy. If he dares to attack us, he will hit me hard .” Zuo Ming shouted loudly at the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall all looked out of the city nervously.

At this time, the walls of the city were fully prepared with tools for defending the city, such as rolling wood and beating stones, and spikes.

In addition to more than 2000 soldiers, more than [-] young men were recruited last night, and the total number of defenders on the city wall was as many as [-].

In Zuo Ming's opinion, with so many city guards, as long as there are no accidents, they will definitely be able to defend the Yunchuan Weicheng.

Man Gui looked at the city wall full of defensive tools and guards, with a sneer on his face, "Hehe, do you really think I want to attack the city with ants? Haha!"

Man Gui sneered, and shouted to the messenger beside him: "Send me the order, and fire the bombardment."

"Obey!" The orderly clasped his fists at Man Gui and rushed into the artillery position.

"The general has an order, fire now. The general has an order, fire now."

The orderly kept shouting loudly in the artillery position.

The artillery commander glanced at the messenger, then pulled out the long knife from his waist, pointed at Yunchuan Weicheng, and shouted: "Fire!"

As soon as the words fell, the 152mm cannon howitzer that had already loaded the shells roared.

"Bang bang bang!"

Five high-explosive shells flew out of the barrel and landed on the wall of Yunchuan Acropolis with a howling sound.

All of a sudden, there were explosions, sparks flying, and shrapnel flying across.

The defenders around the point where the five high-explosive bombs landed let out a scream and fell to the ground.

The limbs of several unlucky ones in the center of the explosion were instantly blown, and their blood spattered.

"What's going on?" Zuo Ming looked at the violent explosion on the top of the city, his face full of panic.

As soon as the words fell, 107 rockets and 120mm mortar shells fell on the top of the city in unison.

Explosions sounded one after another on the top of the city, and before the defenders on the top of the city could react, a large number of them were killed.

Under this level of bombardment, the defenders on the top of the city quickly fell into chaos.

From ancient times to the present, these defenders have never seen this level of attack.

In their impression, the battle of defending the city should be that the enemy should try to get close to the city wall first, and then use auxiliary tools such as ladders to climb the city wall or hit the city gate.

This form of attack was the first time they had seen it.

"What kind of weapon is this? What kind of weapon is this?" Zuo Ming ran around the city in a panic, avoiding shells.

"Oh!"

A high-explosive bomb landed beside Zuo Ming, and the violent explosion instantly enveloped him.

Zuo Ming was blown into a pile of minced meat without even making a scream.

Even the servants beside him were killed by the explosion.

"No, the general was killed. No, the general was killed."

The defenders on the top of the city watched this scene and became even more confused.

Those ordinary young men who had just been recruited threw away their weapons and fled down the city wall.

The stairs leading down were quickly crowded together by them.

After the soldiers guarding the city learned that Zuo Ming was killed by the bomb, they also fled to the city with Qing Zhuang.

They crowded the stairs, moving slower than a turtle.

At this moment, a high-explosive shell from a 120mm mortar fell from the sky and landed in the crowd.

"Oh!"

After the explosion, minced meat fell from the sky like rain.

The crowd on the stairs was blown down.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at this scene and didn't know what to do. They could only run around on the city wall, praying that the shells would not fall on him.

Some anxious soldiers didn't care about other things, and under the bombardment of artillery fire, they jumped off the city wall.

Man Gui looked at the scene on the wall of Yunchuan Weicheng, and shouted at the messenger again: "Put the target on the city gate and Wengcheng, and stop attacking after blasting the gate Wengcheng."

When Man Gui's order was conveyed, the artillery on the artillery position stopped.

After a few breaths, there was another deafening sound of artillery fire.

The city gate of Yunchuan Weicheng is just an ordinary city gate, and it was shattered by just two high-explosive bombs.

After blasting the city gate, the shells fell towards Wengcheng again.

One after another high-explosive bombs fell on the city wall of Wengcheng. Under the violent explosion, the green bricks on the surface of Wengcheng were blown off, exposing the rammed earth inside.

In a short time, the city gate and Wengcheng were destroyed by artillery fire.

When the artillery fire stopped, Man Gui led the soldiers and horses and walked slowly towards Yunchuanwei.

When the sun began to slant westward, the entire Yunchuanwei had already fallen into the hands of Man Gui.

After capturing Yunchuanwei, Man Gui left a hundred troops behind, and went on to the next city.

At the same time, Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses also gradually returned to their respective barracks.

Zhao Wen sat in the hall of the General Military Mansion and looked at the generals in the hall, "The soldiers should have returned to the barracks. From now on, the soldiers who returned to the camp will be checked first. Transfer to Xuanzhen town."

"As ordered!"

After receiving Zhao Wen's order, the generals in the hall began to step on their horses and head for their garrison.

When they returned to their garrisons, the soldiers were checked.

After the verification is completed, the soldiers except those left behind will be transferred to Xuanzhen town.

A large group of soldiers and horses began to move towards the town of Xuanzhen.

The atmosphere in Xuanzhen instantly became tense.

Liu Wenzhong and others were also busy.

Countless military supplies began to be loaded into vehicles, and messengers delivering news were everywhere in Xuanzhen Town.

On the third day, the soldiers Zhao Wen mobilized had basically assembled.

On the third night, Zhao Wen sat in the hall of the General Military Mansion. He looked at the crowd of people in the hall and shouted loudly: "Everyone, this battle is different from the previous ones. I think you should know."

"I'll find out!" Everyone shouted at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen nodded, then scanned the hall.

Zhao Wen looked at Song Hu and shouted. "Where is Song Hu?"

Now the war is about to start, and Song Hu and Liu Wu are his hard-core confidantes, so Zhao Wen transferred Song Hu and Liu Wu back, and Zhao Wen re-arranged candidates to replace them in their previous positions.

"The last general is here!" Song Hu stood up and clasped his fists at Zhao Wen with excitement on his face.

"I order you to lead [-] troops as the former general of the army, and to open the way for our army." Zhao Wen said loudly.

"The last general takes orders!" Song Hu shouted and retreated.

"Where is Liu Wu?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wu.

Liu Wu stood up and clasped his fists at Zhao Wen, "The last general is here!"

"I order you to be the general of the rear army, lead [-] troops, and be the rear of my army."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Where is Zhao Daniu?"

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to be the deputy general of the Chinese army to assist me in commanding the [-] troops of the Chinese army."

"The last general takes orders!"

After appointing the leading general, Zhao Wen set his sights on Liu Wenzhong.

"Where is Liu Wenzhong!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"I order you to stay in Xuanzhen, command the soldiers and horses left behind, and manage all the affairs of Xuanzhen. After I leave, if anyone disobeys the order, you can kill first and then act."

"Subordinates take orders!"

After arranging everything, Zhao Wen stood up, "Okay, you can leave now."

Everyone in the hall clasped their fists at Zhao Wen, and then left the hall.

After leaving the hall, Zhao Wen didn't go to sleep. He wrote several letters and handed them to the guards to send them out.

Zhao Wen's letters were addressed to Mao Wenlong and Zheng Yiguan.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is to tell them that they are ready to raise troops and let them wait for orders at any time.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The entire Xuan Town is full of running orderlies and soldiers preparing military supplies.

Wang Qi also headed towards Shanxi with tens of thousands of copies of the call to action written by Liu Wenzhong.

Amidst the busyness, the sun slowly jumped out of the horizon.

All the soldiers began to assemble, and in the afternoon, they had been assembled according to Zhao Wen's arrangement.

After Zhao Wen bid farewell to Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu, he came to the campus.

Song Hu and Liu Wu led their personal guards to their team.

Zhao Wen stood on the high platform of the university field, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and shouted loudly: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wonderful wins wins wins!"

All of a sudden, the voices rushed towards Zhao Wen layer by layer like waves.

The faces of all the soldiers were full of fanaticism. They had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Zhao Wen looked at the imposing soldiers and shouted, "Where is the former general Song Hu?"

"The last general is here!" Song Hu rushed to the bottom of the high platform with several personal guards, and shouted at Zhao Wen.

"I order your troops to set off first to open the way for our army." Zhao Wen looked at Song Hu and shouted loudly.

Song Hu gave a military salute to Zhao Wen, and then returned to his team.

"Former soldiers, let's go!" Song Hu stepped on a horse, roared, and led the former soldiers to leave first.

Song Hu's soldiers basically have horses, and the weapons they carry are mainly light weapons. After all, they are pioneers.
