Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 246 Attacking Fucheng
Shi Ming and his subordinates came to the gate of the city, where the disciples from the Tang Sect were waiting.

There were about 50 people in total, all wearing blue shirts and masks.The leader among them was a young man who saw Shi Ming look up.

"Lord State Shepherd."

Shi Ming knew that the Tangmen intelligence network was powerful, so it was normal to recognize him.He smiled and nodded: "It's my official. Did you come here under the order of the new castle master?"

Speaking of the new castle master, a stern look flashed in the eyes of the leading young man.He said bluntly, "Not bad."

"The Lord of the New Castle understands righteousness so well, I admire you."

"..."

When the young man, or Tang Ming, heard Shi Ming's words, his heart was full of contempt, and a trace of disdain was drawn from the corner of his mouth.

A despicable and shameless person like Tang Lin is also worthy of understanding righteousness?

That's right, Tang Ming is the leader of Tangmen rushing to help Haizhou this time.

Tang Lin didn't kill him, but used him instead.

After that battle, not only Tang Tiansheng died in the Tang Sect, but also several elders and many elite disciples.This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Tangmen as a whole.

After Tang Lin took over the Tang Sect, it almost fell into a situation where no one could use it.As a last resort, he released Tang Ming who had been imprisoned, and threatened him to compromise and work hard.

The threatening conditions are naturally Tang Ziyu's life.

Tang Lin lied to Tang Ming that if he didn't want Tang Ziyu to die, he would obediently obey him.

Tang Ming has been imprisoned all the time, and he doesn't know Tang Ziyu's situation at all.The seeds of revenge were buried deep in his heart, and he naturally wanted to ensure the safety of the only family member of the old castle master.So he had to follow Tang Lin's command.

It's just that he has been secretly planning in his heart, trying to find a way to overthrow Tang Lin's rule and let Tangmen get back on track.

Seeing Tang Ming's indifference, Shi Ming thought that the disciples of the Tang Sect were taciturn, so he brought them into the city without thinking too much.

On the way to the State Shepherd's Mansion, he briefly explained the current situation to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming was quite shocked when he heard this.

The Bei'an Army has only a thousand soldiers, yet they have attacked several cities in just a few days, and now they are about to hit Fucheng, which is really formidable.

No wonder that guy Tang Lin sent us here, he must have been scared.

Tang Ming thought to himself that Tang Lin must be worried that if the Bei'an army could take down Haizhou without any hindrance.Then the Bei'an Army will continue to advance eastward after gaining a firm foothold.

At that time, it will be impossible for the Tang Sect to continue to close their doors in Shuzhou.Su Yuan, the Bei'an Army will definitely break in, and the Tang Sect, whose vitality is severely injured, will be defeated.

So Tang Lin first sent his disciples to support Shi Ming, not to mention defeating the Bei'an army.At least they can snipe the Bei'an Army here and delay their eastward advance.

"Everyone, when the Bei'an army arrives, we will still have to rely on the means of the world." Shi Ming said sincerely after explaining the situation.

Tang Ming said: "We will do our best."

Having said that, Tang Ming was thinking in his heart, should he let the water go on purpose?
He glanced at the other disciples calmly, and several of them were staring at him sullenly.

Tang Lin was worried that Tang Ming would betray him after leaving Shuzhou, so several of these disciples were his confidants.They are responsible for keeping an eye on Tang Ming.

In Tang Ming's opinion, this was superfluous. If it wasn't for revenge, he would have risked his life to fight Tang Lin to death.

After the group arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion, they stayed in the guest room arranged by Shi Ming.Early the next morning, Shi Ming sent someone to tell them to make preparations, the Bei'an army might arrive at noon.

Disciples of the Tang Sect are good at assassination, but they also have a set of methods in frontal combat, which are hidden weapons and poisons.And this time they brought poison sacs and smeared some poisonous powder on the arrows. As long as the enemy's flesh is broken, they can be poisoned to death.

Shi Ming was very satisfied with the poisonous powder, so he sent someone to take it away and distribute it to the barracks, so that the soldiers could not stop making poisonous arrowheads.

Near noon, all Tang Sect disciples came to the city wall.

Looking into the distance, one could vaguely see the flags of the Bei'an Army fluttering in the wind.

The two big characters "Bei'an" can be seen from a distance, and the two characters themselves seem to have a kind of magical power. When some soldiers guarding the city saw it, they couldn't help but fight between the two.

"The traitors from Bei'an are coming!" Shi Ming put on his armor at this moment, standing on the top of the city to supervise the battle, "Don't be afraid, soldiers, we have a strong city, and with the help of righteous men from the Tang Sect, this battle will definitely be victorious! Bei'an thieves come and go!"

"There is no return!"

"There is no return!"

The soldiers shouted together under the leadership of the general to boost morale.

The effect was obvious, especially after the Bei'an Army got closer, the soldiers became even more excited when they realized that their numbers were indeed small.

A partial general was even more eager to do meritorious service. He took the initiative to walk in front of Shi Ming, knelt down and asked for a fight: "Lord Zhou Mu, please let the last general lead the troops out of the city to fight!"

Shi Ming frowned, and was about to refuse.Before speaking, he remembered that the Bei'an Army had heavy artillery in their hands, but changed his mind.

"Okay, you lead 3000 people out of the city to attack! If you have a chance, destroy the cannons in the enemy's hands!"

"The last general takes orders!"

The officer expressed his excitement beyond words, and hurriedly ordered soldiers.

The gate of the city was opened, and the general rode a big horse and led three thousand soldiers out of the city.In the distance, the Bei'an army stopped a kilometer before approaching the city.

"Hurry up!" Shi Ming urged the general at the top of the wall, "They may have to use heavy artillery!"

"Follow me!!"

Pianjiang roared and led three thousand soldiers to rush towards the formation of the Bei'an Army.

In the Bei'an army formation, Su Yuan looked at the enemy army rushing towards him, feeling a little confused.

"Which stupid young man is this?"

"My lord, leave it to me!"

Li Yuanba slapped his chest and was about to fight, but was stopped by Su Yuan raising his hand.

"Yuanba, you should take a break this time."

Su Yuan wanted to try the effect of light artillery on the mobile formation, and ordered the artillery to attack.

He brought some light artillery and heavy artillery this time. There are not many shells for heavy artillery. They are mainly used to break the city and cannot be wasted easily.But there are plenty of light artillery shells, so there is no need to be frugal, not to mention that Qi Jiguang will bring some when he comes over later.

When Su Yuan gave an order, the soldiers in the front row immediately made way for the artillerymen to arrange the light cannons in a row.

Load, aim, fire.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

More than a dozen shells blasted out, and landed precisely in the charging enemy army formation.

The army formation was bombed to pieces at the first moment, and the soldiers who were hit by the bombing died immediately, and their stumps and broken arms flew in the air.Those who were not hit by the explosion could not avoid the impact of the explosion. Those who were mild had ringing in their ears and were dazzled, while those who were severe had their internal organs displaced and blood vomited from the mouth.

With just one round of shelling, the 3000-strong army fell into chaos. The general was "taken care of" the most, and a shell fell directly on his head, blowing him to pieces along with his heart that wanted to make a contribution. .

There are still many soldiers left. In fact, thousands of people faced more than a dozen shells, and the casualties would not be particularly high, but the scene caused by the explosion was too bloody.As a result, many soldiers who were not physically injured were on the verge of collapse.

The defenders on the city wall all stared wide-eyed, full of horror.

Shi Ming's expression was not good. He could see that the cannon was powerful, but it put too much psychological pressure on the soldiers.

Weapons like bows and arrows can shoot people into hedgehogs, but they can still leave a whole body.After the battle, maybe the corpse can be brought back for burial.

But some of those bombed by the Bei'an Army's artillery were blown to pieces!Not to mention the whole body, it would be good to get some body parts back.In the future, the burial will at most be a clothes tomb.

With such a comparison, it is conceivable that many soldiers will feel fear.They would rather be shot to death by random arrows than be blown up by that shell.

Shi Ming looked at the disciples of the Tang Sect. Although they were wearing masks, the half of their faces exposed was enough to reveal the uneasiness in their hearts.

Even for Tangmen disciples, the power of this cannon is still enough to make them feel afraid.

Tang Ming stared at the direction of the Bei'an army, thinking that with the power of this cannon, if it hits the opponent, I am afraid that only a natural master can rely on the strength of the body to save his life.Even if the acquired master is at the peak, he will be seriously injured.

Terrible.

Tang Ming felt in his heart that although this thing was not as exquisitely designed as some hidden weapons of their Tang Sect, it was an absolute weapon in marching and fighting.

On the other hand, their hidden weapons of the Tang Sect are good for killing people, but in large-scale army battles, they will be a bit tasteless.After all, in legion combat, there is only one criterion for judging whether a weapon is good or bad, and that is whether it can cause the most damage to the enemy in the shortest time and form the greatest deterrence.

There is no doubt that the artillery of the Bei'an Army fits this standard well.

With the death of the general, the remaining soldiers also lost their will to fight and retreated to the city gate one after another.The Bei'an Army did not pursue, but continued to load and shoot.

A total of three rounds of shelling were fired, and when the remnant soldiers ran back to the city gate, there were only more than 1000 people left, half of which were lost.

Shi Ming quickly asked someone to open the city gate and let him in.

He knew that these soldiers could not be blamed for this, even if he sent out the most elite troops in the city, the fate would not be much better.

After all the remnant soldiers came in and the city gate was closed again, Shi Ming said in a deep voice, "It seems that the city must be defended first in this battle. Everyone pay attention, and the Bei'an army hides in the fortress when they are shelling."

According to previous intelligence, Shi Ming asked soldiers to build several forts overnight.These forts are located just behind the city walls.Although not very strong, it can resist some random crushing stones.

Shi Ming believed that such a vanguard force would not have enough shells to completely knock down such a tall and strong city wall of Fucheng.Then, as long as there are not too many casualties in the shelling, the Beian Army will lose its advantage when the shells are exhausted.

At that time, Haizhou's advantage of several times the number of troops was manifested... Shi Ming thought, when the Bei'an Army's shells are exhausted, he will send all the soldiers out of the city to attack!
He must fight back against the contempt and humiliation of the Bei'an Army, and completely destroy this vanguard of thousands of people!Let that arrogant Su Yuan know that he, Shi Ming, is by no means a soft persimmon.

Shi Ming made up his mind, but it's a pity that he still doesn't know that the Bei'an vanguard he thought was actually the absolute main force of the Bei'an army, and Su Yuan himself was among them.

boom!
The dull sound of heavy artillery firing sounded, and huge shells flew from the air.The defenders knew that this was a heavy artillery, and quickly ran into the fort as in the previous exercise!
