Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 161

The Annan people who were attacking the city rushed in like a tide and attacked the city wall of Luzhou.

Aerial ladders were prepared, and Annan soldiers climbed desperately to seize the tower.

The Ming soldiers on the towers shot and killed them when they saw this, or smashed down wood and rocks to suppress the intensity of the enemy's siege.

Zhu Xuan wanted to kill Ruan Wenyong first, so he didn't let anyone throw explosives for the time being.

If it is lost, it will scare the enemy away and lose the opportunity to kill Ruan Wen Dong.

He picked up the telescope and looked at the Annan Army outside the city for a long time, and finally caught Ruan Wenyong's figure. He was about to place the sniper gun on the parapet, but at this time the enemy opened his bow and arrows and shot up.

A row of arrows rained over.

"Come here, put up some shields and cover me!"

Zhu Xuan wanted to act as a sniper. After hearing this, several Jinyi guards placed their shields beside him, leaving a gap in the middle of the shield just enough to extend the sniper rifle.

According to the direction just now, Zhu Xuan once again captured Ruan Wenyong's figure on the scope.

As long as the enemy's main general is killed, the remaining Annan soldiers and generals without command can easily become chaotic.

Zhu Xuan locked onto the opponent, made sure there was no problem, and pulled the trigger decisively.

boom!
  One shot out.

Today's sniper rifles do not have silencers. The sound is as loud as a rifle, and the recoil is equally strong. The shock made Zhu Xuan's shoulders numb.

Not long after the bullet was fired, Zhu Xuan clearly saw through the scope that the bullet penetrated Ruan Wenyong's chest.

The people around Ruan Wenyong saw a bloody hole suddenly appeared on their general's chest, and he was walking around in a mess.

Zhu Xuan wanted to shoot him in the head, but in the end he only hit his chest.

He is not a professional sniper and cannot shoot a headshot with one shot.

But it was enough for Ruan Wen Yong to die. When he saw a large number of enemies gathering under the city wall, Zhu Xuan shouted: "Throw the explosives!"

The soldiers responsible for throwing the explosives had been arranged by Zhu Xuan in advance.

Others passed the order to other city gates.

Someone also brought up a frame of explosives, lit the explosive cord, and threw it hard at the Annan soldiers outside. It exploded among the crowd. The sound of the explosion was deafening and the fire splashed everywhere.

The Annan people were a little panicked by the bombing.

After a while, someone dropped explosives one by one from the towers on all sides.

The sound of the explosion echoed outside the city.

Nguyen Van Dung's death could disturb some Annamese people. Now the Ming army used explosives to defend the city, blowing them up into even more chaos. Soon they found out that Nguyen Van Dung had been killed, and the turmoil outside the city became even more severe.

The remaining lieutenants wanted to command the soldiers and continue the attack, but without Ruan Van Dong, and the Annan people were afraid of explosives, the lieutenants could not move, and there was a chaos, so they only knew how to retreat.

"Keep throwing it out!"

Zhu Xuan was very satisfied when he saw the enemy's chaos.

The soldiers of the Ming army continued to throw explosives, and each explosive exploded among the Annan soldiers who were retreating in chaos, causing the Annan people to become even more chaotic.

Nguyen Van Dung's lieutenants could only lead their troops to retreat.

The siege battle that was originally full of momentum ended in this state. More than 20,000 people had the advantage, but they could not even climb the city wall, and the war came to an end.

"Return!"

Hou Xian said happily: "Your Highness, the enemy has retreated!"

Zhu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The enemy has retreated and should not dare to come back, but the defense must continue. Send an order to strengthen the alert and continue to replenish ammunition."         "Yes!"

Wang Er and Li Niu said in unison.

They defeated more with less. They fought happily in this battle. The soldiers in the army were so excited that they seemed to have no problem fighting again.

In fact, Zhu Xuan was still a little worried that he would not be able to defend Luzhou, but he did not show it. When he saw the enemy retreating, he temporarily put aside his worries. When he was about to go back to rest, someone came to report that Cen Rui, the commander of the Guangxi capital, had arrived, just outside the city. .

"Why are you here, Lord Cen?"

Zhu Xuan was a little surprised and said: "Please invite Master Cen into the city quickly!"

In order to protect Zhu Xuan, Cen Rui learned that Ruan Wenyong had gathered an army to attack Luzhou. He immediately gathered his troops and rushed over quickly.

When we arrived outside Luzhou City, the battlefield here had just ended.

He was stunned when he saw the corpses outside the city, which were still fresh and bleeding. They were all Annan people. They had not been cleaned up and dragged away. It was obvious that the Annan people had come to attack Luzhou. Looking at this scene again, tens of thousands The Annan people were repulsed by Zhu Xuan's thousands of soldiers?
  The soldiers in the city also noticed his arrival. Cen Rui quickly asked them to contact Zhu Xuan, and finally walked into the city to meet Zhu Xuan.

"Master Cen, why are you here?"

Zhu Xuan asked unexpectedly.

Cen Rui said: "Our scouts found out that the Annan people seemed to be attacking Luzhou, so I guessed that His Highness might be in the city, so I quickly led troops to protect His Highness, but... you have already started a fight?"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "We fought, and the Annan people were beaten away by me. Thank you Master Cen for your concern, but..."

He rolled his eyes and felt that since Cen Rui had come, he couldn't let him go back in vain. He had to do something, and then said: "There are still about three days before we and Uncle Mu agreed to launch cannons at sea. During the bombardment of Annan, the Annan people were repulsed by me just now, but they will definitely not retreat completely, how about we kill these people first?"

"also!"

After hearing this, Cen Rui thought it was okay and he could fight.

Just as he said, Cen Rui sent out scouts to the south to find out where the enemy was.

The scouts also moved quickly. Around evening, news came back that the enemies had retreated to a forest about ten miles south of Luzhou.

The enemy had not completely retreated. They were camping in the woods. They were probably waiting for some order before deciding whether to retreat.

"Tonight, night attack!"

Zhu Xuan said and asked: "Master Cen, do you think night attacks can be carried out?"

Cen Rui analyzed it in his mind for a moment and nodded: "Of course, the Annan people may not be aware of my arrival, so I can catch them off guard."

"Rest now and go out to the city at night!"

Zhu Xuan ordered to go down.

Time flies quickly and it’s midnight.

Zhu Xuan and the others are ready.

Scouts were also sent out to inquire about the enemy's situation. The Annamites were still stationed in the woods, but the defense was very loose and not even scouts were sent out.

This is their chance to fight back!
  As the commander-in-chief of this night attack, Cen Rui led all the soldiers to sneak into the woods with the help of weak firelight.

"First bring up the Crouching Tiger Cannon and place it on the east side. Later, the Crouching Tiger Cannon will fire the first shot from the east, attracting the enemy's attention to the east, and the gunners from the Shenji Battalion will raid in the north..."

Cen Rui was a military commander and had more practical combat experience than Zhu Xuan, and he could make various arrangements quickly.

He is a professional, someone who really knows how to fight.

Zhu Xuan only has solid theoretical knowledge and has fought two or three battles. Compared with professionals like Cen Rui, there is still a gap. Fortunately, Ruan Wenyong and others are very weak, so his unprofessionalism will not be defeated by the enemy.

Now that he is with Cen Rui, he must study hard and learn from Cen Rui's professional level. The gains will be greater than those of Li Jinglong.
