Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 98 The Might of the Ming Army!

Lu Xiangsheng's attitude made Emperor Chongzhen very satisfied. Although under the rule of Daming, there were many officials who talked loudly and did not do practical things, as well as generals who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but Daming also had a group of good ministers who were pragmatic and dared to take responsibility. There is also a group of good generals who dare to fight and show their swords!
Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward, stretched out his hands to support Lu Xiangsheng's arms, and said emotionally: "Okay, with such an attitude and this responsibility, I believe that Lu Qing will surely win the battle!

This time the attack on Zunhua City, how the battle will be fought, Lu Qing has the final say, I will never intervene, but the two-day deadline cannot be passed, I am afraid that Qian'an at this time will not last for too long. "

"The minister obeys the order!"

In today's battle, it is unacceptable to believe in the good ministers and warriors you have reused, to give them enough space, to intervene in the battle blindly, and to treat them as puppets.

Taking advantage of the current situation, it is still beneficial to Daming, and the fame of Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou, and Zhou Yuji will all be revealed, which will also facilitate me to promote them in the future.

After returning from the frontline tunnel position, Emperor Chongzhen summoned everyone in the Military Aircraft Department to conduct a comprehensive review of the current situation.

Lu Xiangsheng, together with Sun Zushou, summoned the generals of the Tianxiong and Zhongyong armies, and asked Zhang Keda to lead Denglai to discuss the attack on Zunhua City.

The former is responsible for the strategic level, while the latter is responsible for the tactical level, with a clear division of labor, trying to ensure that Ming can firmly grasp the advantage during the attack on Zunhua City.

On the eve of the attack on Zunhua City, it was definitely a tense day for the high-ranking officials of Ming Dynasty gathered here, but it was also an exciting day.

Jianlu invaded Daming for so long, and finally waited for so long to launch a large-scale siege against thousands of Jianlu.

If this battle can successfully break through Zunhua City and severely damage Jianlu who guards the city's defenses, it will play a vital role in the follow-up battle.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of intensive drum beating broke the silence of Zunhua City that had been maintained for several days. Surrounded by Wang Qia, Li Banghua and other ministers, Emperor Chongzhen appeared at the tunnel defense line on the western front, ready to watch the battle at close range.

"Your Majesty, Lu Jiandou's attack on Zunhua City this time is to combine the wide ditch dug by our army and adopt the method of encircling three and missing one to launch an offensive against Jianlu."

Looking at the battlefield ahead, Wang Qia said with a serious expression: "Although there is no Ming army in the direction of the east city of Zunhua, the Jianlu who are stationed in the Santun camp dare not rush to help Zunhua.

After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, only Zunhua City and Santunying can serve as a barrier for the passages in and out of the pass controlled by Jianlu.

If these two important places are surrounded by our Ming army, the Jian captives who have entered the pass will face a situation where they cannot evacuate. "

Emperor Chongzhen listened to what Wang Qia said, but his deep eyes were fixed on the frontline battlefield. The Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng formed a neat formation, hundreds of stone throwers, and dozens of soldiers. There are several cannons scattered in various departments of the Chinese army, and this is to attack the west city of Zunhua.

On the other hand, the Jianlu who guarded the city were scattered on the city wall under the command of generals at all levels, preparing to meet the Ming army who invaded Zunhua.

"It's still too tight."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly and said, "If you give me another five days, hundreds of cannons will be dispatched from the rear, and it will not be enough to steal the Jianlu in Zunhua."

"..."

Standing behind Wang Qia, Li Banghua and others showed different expressions on their faces. Are you kind, Your Majesty?
The armies of the various ministries that are currently fighting are more than [-] in terms of size alone.

More than a hundred artillery pieces dispatched from the rear are scattered on the north, west, and south sides of Zunhua, and there are more than [-] catapults, which can throw cluster thunder at any time.

In terms of firepower suppression, Jianlu, who was guarding the city, was absolutely blown away.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of explosions, one after another, began to resound on the three walls of Zunhua when everyone was feeling emotional. Although the Jianlu who guarded the city wall and the Ming army who wanted to gather launched waves of arrows and rain offensives, only the Ming army's front line The shield formation formed by the soldiers can effectively block the threat of Jianlu's arrow rain.

"Bang Bang Bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of arrows colliding like raindrops, the intermittent sound of solid bullets colliding, and the uninterrupted explosion sounded on the battlefield of Zunhua. This artillery offensive launched by the Ming army directly killed the Jianlu guarding the city. Dazed.

"Fan Wencheng, this is what you said that the Ming army's siege advantage is not obvious!?"

Standing at the enemy building, under the protection of Bai Yale, Ji Erhalang looked at Fan Wencheng with a ferocious expression, and shouted in a deep voice: "You damn slave, come and tell Ben Baylor that this battle is a big one for me. How should Jin fight!"

"I……"

Fan Wencheng showed astonishment on his face, and looked at the sky in disbelief, the 'cannonballs' that were constantly being thrown over him, and bursts of horror arose in his heart, which indeed exceeded his expectations.

I have fought with Daming in Liaodong for so many years. Before this, I have never seen the Ming army. When besieging a certain city, they are not busy dispatching troops to attack the city, but commanding the soldiers under their command. Along the periphery of the besieged city, a wide ditch was dug.

Such an unbelievable behavior caused Fan Wencheng to make a common sense mistake, thinking that the Ming army besieging Zunhua City was not as powerful as imagined, and even the siege equipment was not prepared enough.

"Enough, shut your mouth for Ben Belle!!"

Yue Tuo, who was standing with his hands down, shouted with a cold expression: "What's the use of talking about this now, since the Ming army's artillery fire is fierce, let's wait until they finish shooting the gunpowder they brought!"

Right now in Zunhua City, there are only thousands of Jianlu soldiers and horses, and more than [-] Mongolian soldiers. In order to buy time for Huang Taiji, Yue Tuo and the others did not choose to go out of the city to fight the main force of the Ming army after the discussion. .

After all, the Ming army surrounding the city of Zunhua definitely exceeded [-] people, and they were defeated in two battles at Shimen Town and Da'ankou. Yue Tuo and the others were extremely afraid of the main force of the Ming army gathered here.

It's just that their various schemes are going to be wrongly paid after all.

"I'm afraid that at this time, the Jianlu guarding Zunhua thought that the artillery offensive launched by our Daming army was all caused by the large artillery they carried."

Seeing that the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng began to switch artillery offensives, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "It's just how could they have imagined that the artillery offensive launched by our Ming Dynasty this time is not an artillery battle in the traditional sense.

This time, I want these gangsters to know that I, Daming, absolutely crush them when it comes to firearms! ! "
