Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhang Shun was very happy after hearing what the boy said, and asked him where his name came from. He replied: "My name is Li Shi'an. I am originally from Luoyang and work as a clerk with the shopkeeper. Because I suffered a disaster in Mengjin, I followed the general here."

Hehe, he has the merit of being the first and most righteous, and he is really popular! Zhang Shun asked happily, "How long have you been a clerk and what are you good at?"

"When I was seven or eight years old, I was sold by my parents to an old shopkeeper to learn the art. I worked as a handyman at first, and it took me more than ten years before I had the opportunity to learn how to do accounting and copywriting. But I never thought that before I could use it, the goods were washed away by the flood, and everyone was I fled in all directions, fearing that my employer would settle the matter. I couldn't remember who my parents were for a long time, and I had nowhere to go, so I followed the general."

Zhang Shun was very happy after hearing this. This is still a technical talent. Since he can calculate accounts, he should be good at mathematics, and he can just command and manage artillery. Then he ordered: "Good boy, I think you are very good, you might as well become the captain of my artillery team!"

After hearing this, Li Shi'an said uneasily: "My parents named me Shi'an in the hope that I could live in peace for ten generations and live in secret. I don't want to be such a dangerous leader. General, can you change me to someone else?"

"Haha, of course it is," Zhang Shun laughed, "No!"

"If you don't obey my order, I'll have you chopped off right away so that you can't even survive. Do you still want ten lives? This life is gone."

When Li Shi'an saw that Zhang Shun was angry, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "General, calm down, general, calm down. I will be the leader of the artillery!"

Zhang Shun originally wanted to correct him. He was not a bandit. Where could he be the leader? After thinking about it for a while, he gave up and just said: "That's very good. The original artillery team was not in good condition in combat and was disbanded by me. Now the newly formed artillery team will be called the 'Second Artillery Force', or the Second Artillery for short. You It’s the Second Artillery Captain!”

How dare Li Shi'an refuse to comply? He immediately agreed honestly. Therefore, Zhang sent him to the east gate to test cannons every day to harass the Douzhuang defenders. It was just that this time he learned the lesson after suffering a loss. Zhang Shun specially arranged for Wei Congyi to send soldiers to protect the artillery. He also specially allocated fifty people as guards and put them under the direct command of Li Shi'an, so he felt at ease.

In the past few days, "Purple Golden Liang" became angry and intensified his own attacks, while ordering "Lao Huihui", "Eight King Kongs" and "Optimus Prime" to attack together. Zhang Shun took advantage of this opportunity. While instructing Li Shi'an to practice artillery, he also sent his generals from time to time to observe how other companies attacked the city and learn siege skills.

As a result, they continued to attack the city in turn for several days. Apart from losing some lives, the siege still made little progress. On this day, Zhang Shun was about to continue paddling, but received an order from "Zijinliang" and hurried to the "Zijinliang" camp.

When Zhang Shun arrived at the west gate, he was shocked. At some point, "Purple Gold Liang" actually built a hill of soil opposite the west gate. It turns out that Douzhuang is unlucky. Its terrain is close to mountains and rivers, making it easy to defend. But I never thought who gave the "Purple Gold Liang" an idea and came up with the strategy of digging up the earth and rocks from the mountains in front of them, piling them into mountains, and using them to attack the city.

"Wei Liao Zi" says: If the land is narrow and there are many people, build a big moat to approach it. That is to say, there are many people on the siege side, but they cannot spread out because of the small terrain. They can pile up mountains of earth and attack the city from a high position.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" also said: It is three months from the beginning. It means that it takes three months to pile up a mountain of earth. However, due to the terrain, "Purple Gold Liang" made people work overtime day and night, and a small mountain of dirt was actually accumulated in a few days.

"Zijinliang" waited for Zhang Shun to finish watching, and said: "Little brother Optimus Prime, I want to lend you artillery. We are condescending and bombard it, and we will break this city." Zhang Shun listened and thought about it. After a while, I realized that this method was very stupid, so I agreed. Chen Changzhen was ordered to bring Li Shi'an's artillery to assist in the battle, and Wei Congyi was asked to continue besieging the east gate of Douzhuang.

At noon, thirty large and small tiger squatting cannons were all deployed. Zhang Shun stood on the mountain and looked into the city. He saw the square houses in Douzhuang, and the movement of personnel was clearly visible. He couldn't help but think: This long siege will take a long time. The war is probably over here.

Sure enough, with an order from "Zijinliang", thirty large and small tiger squatting cannons on Tushan fired at Douzhuang. Douzhuang had no choice but to mount the artillery on the city wall and shoot at the rebels. The accuracy of artillery in this era was poor, and both sides' artillery skills were not very good. As a result, each fired dozens of cannons, with very few damage.

It turned out that the rebel army had a good location, but because the artillery was backward in shape and the barrel had not been milled by a milling machine, it was extremely shoddy and its accuracy was poor. Although the Douzhuang artillery was advanced, because the rebel artillery positions were located on earth mountains, the kinetic energy of the artillery shells hitting the top was absorbed by the soil and could not bounce.

If you want to knock out the rebel artillery, you can only hit it directly, but the chance of this is too low. In addition, the "Purple Golden Liang" deliberately chose to bombard when the sun was setting in the west, making the Douzhuang gunners who fought against the light very passive.

After the two sides cooled down their artillery for a period of time, and were about to shoot again, Zhang Shun asked strangely: "Second Master, since we can't hit each other's artillery, why not directly bombard the houses of the people in the village?"

When "Zijin Liang" heard this, he suddenly realized that he had entered into a misunderstanding. He quickly asked the gunners to ignore the opponent's artillery and directly bombard the personnel and materials in Douzhuang City. After Zhang Shun made this "damaging move", Douzhuang couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly the whole city of Douzhuang burst into tears and shouts.

Zhang Shenyan, who came to watch the battle, couldn't bear it when he saw it, and whispered: "That 'Purple Gold Liang' is just a bandit, what does it have to do with you? Why do you need to do this to harm the innocent people in the city?"

Zhang Shun was surprised when he heard this and said: "This bandit is our bandit after all. When the two armies are fighting, it is life and death. Why is the boss so naive? If Dou Zhuang comes to surrender, I will sweep the bed to welcome him. Now that he is stubbornly resisting to the end, I You can’t commit suicide and be executed, right?”

Zhang Shenyan was speechless. The "Purple Gold Beam" blasted from mid-afternoon until dark before stopping. Just to shoot into Douzhuang Village, solid bullets are mostly used. It may seem like a hearty experience, but the actual psychological harm to Dou Zhuang is far greater than the actual harm.

It was getting late at this time, and "Zijinliang" held a banquet in his camp to celebrate the attack, entertaining "Lao Huihui", "Ba Jingang" and others who came to help in the battle. They only waited to break Douzhuang tomorrow and capture Zhang Daojun alive.

Although Zhang Shun and others had a lot of food in their hands, they had not seen meat for a long time, and their stomachs were already full of hunger. Taking this opportunity, everyone started eating and drinking. Especially Zhang Shun, who didn't want to eat noodles, so he grabbed a pork knuckle and his mouth was full of oil.
