Steel Dynasty - Chapter 343

[Chapter 343 Fighting]

In the early morning, a loud rooster crow broke the tranquility of Yunzhou City.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous shouts of “kill” sounded from all directions.

Like a tide, the victims launched an attack on Yunzhou City at the four city gates at the same time.

Last night, the Yunzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army had been tense, always on guard against King Qinglong’s attack on the city. After a quiet night, King Qinglong finally gave the order to attack the city.

Now to the soldiers, these people are no longer victims of the disaster, but rebels. They will never let these rebels destroy their increasingly prosperous hometown.

“Your Highness, let us militiamen also come.”

At this time, Xiao Ming was dressed in military uniform. The four city gates were attacked at the same time. The military strength of Yunzhou City was suddenly a little tight. He led 2,000 soldiers, ready to rush to the rescue at any time if the city was short of manpower. Door.

At this moment, a large number of people suddenly stood in front of him with farm tools.

These people either lived in Yunzhou City or were evacuated from outside the city to the city. At this time, they were all very angry.

Maybe they sympathized with the Azure Dragon King and the victims at first, but now they only have dissatisfaction and hatred in their hearts.

They collected the victims in Yunzhou City and treated them with utmost kindness, but now this group of people actually wants to attack Yunzhou City.

To them, these people are worse than barbarians.

Xiao Ming was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the people would organize themselves to help him defend the city. He suddenly felt warm in his heart. After all, his policies to benefit the people during this period were not in vain.

With the people’s support, he has nothing to fear.

At this time, another group of people rushed over, but these people were not from Yunzhou, but victims of the disaster who had been gathered during this period.

An old man said: “His Royal Highness, King Qi, we are all from Jizhou, but we can’t stand how King Qinglong attacks Jizhou indiscriminately. Please let us go to the top of the city and tell our fellow villagers not to attack Yunzhou City. Qinglong Many of the people in the king’s team are our relatives, and I believe that they will not blindly obey the Qinglong King.”

Zhan Xingchang then said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, what this old man said is right. This is the time. You can use the technique of attacking the heart. If the people outside the city know that their relatives have enough food and clothing in Yunzhou City, they will definitely lose their morale. “

At this moment, all necessary means must be used, otherwise once Yunzhou City falls, he will. All bets are lost.

Xiao Ming nodded to Zhan Xingchang.

After receiving Xiao Ming’s approval, Zhan Xingchang clasped his fists and said to the gathered victims: “Thank you all, the victims outside the city are afraid of being deceived by people who are unaware of the inside story. I hope you can speak out in front of the city to avoid hurting innocent people.”

“Your Highness must be sure. It’s a great kindness to take us in. How can we not repay it? Please lead us,” the old man said loudly.

Zhan Xingchang nodded. He first divided the people of Yunzhou City into four parts to support the four city gates, and then led the victims to the top of the city.

Xiao Ming looked at the busy Zhan Xingchang and felt a little at ease.

He was about to board the city to supervise the battle, but Zhan Xingchang and a group of generals tried their best to dissuade him, fearing that he would have an accident and cause chaos in the fiefdom.

However, since he is not going to the top of the city, he cannot be idle and continue to sit in the camp, deploying troops to support various city gates at any time.

Yunzhou City is a small city, with a city wall only three or four miles long. At this time, it is besieged by 300,000 disaster victims, just like a mound attacked by marching ants.

Facing the flood of victims, the soldiers gritted their teeth and tightened their weapons.

After the shouts of killing rang out outside the city, the victims rushed to the city wall with ladders, and hundreds of ladders were erected in an instant.

Along the ladder, the victims scrambled to climb up.

At this moment, the only ten artillery pieces on top of Yunzhou City began to explode with thunder, and the cannonballs shot out, shooting a stream of blood mist among the crowd.

These ten cannons were left behind by Niu Ben when he went to Jizhou, in order to prevent Yunzhou City from encountering unexpected events.

“Boom boom…” Ten artillery pieces fired continuously.

The thunderous sound and terrifying lethality immediately plunged the attacking rebels into chaos. Some of the climbing rebels were frightened by the sound of the cannons, and instinctively ran away in panic.

People on top want to come up, people on top want to go down, and people keep falling from the ladder.

At this moment, the catapults in the city suddenly threw the gunpowder cans outside the city.

Knowing that Yunzhou City might be besieged, Xiao Ming brought all the weapons and ammunition that Qingzhou City could carry just in case.

“Boom…”

The gunpowder cans exploded, and the rebels below the city fell in pieces. The two powerful weapons, artillery and gunpowder cans, caused the rebels to collapse after the first wave of siege.

After leaving thousands of corpses at the north gate of Yunzhou City, the rebels began to retreat.

King Qinglong looked anxiously at the retreating troops. The terrifying weapons of the Yunzhou City defenders clearly frightened his men.

But this was not what he was most worried about, because he found that the defenders in Yunzhou City were completely different from the cities in Jizhou.

Every time he attacked the city for several months, the defenders at the head of the city almost lacked fighting spirit. In his view, King Yong’s corrupt rule had left these soldiers with no morale to resist.

But now he saw in the Yunzhou City defenders a determination to fight to the death.

“The country of Chongqing is rotten to the core, why do you still work for the mediocre royal family!” King Qinglong roared in his heart. At this moment, he couldn’t understand why these Yunzhou defenders were fighting!

“King Qinglong, the weapons of the Yunzhou defenders are too powerful, what should I do? This is much more terrifying than King Yong’s fire barrel.”

The young man carrying the big knife was still frightened.

“Calm down the soldiers, reorganize the siege, and tell them not to panic. We have more than 300,000 people. Can’t we capture Yunzhou City? The King of Qi is in Yunzhou City. As long as we break Yunzhou City and capture him alive, , the remaining five states are not allowed to listen to us.”

The young man nodded, his name is Zhou Xing, and he is the general of the Qinglong King.

After the Qinglong King’s uprising, the Qinglong King divided the victims into a song for every 10,000 people, and set up a music commander for each song.

At the same time, he appointed himself as the general of heaven, and also appointed the general of earth and the general of human beings. Among them, Zhou Xing is the general of human beings.

During this siege, he brought Zhou Xing with him, leaving Shan Gang, the local general, to guard the captured city in Jizhou and collect the victims at the same time.

When he learned that King Qi was collecting disaster victims in Jizhou, King Qinglong was furious and was already very dissatisfied with King Qi.

Therefore, this attack on Yunzhou was firstly planned, and secondly, it was done to vent their anger.

Looking at the defenders on Yunzhou City, Zhou Xing immediately summoned thirty-six commanders to discuss the next attack on the city.

He and King Qinglong were from the same hometown. After King Qinglong’s uprising, he had been with King Qinglong and he was deeply trusted by King Qinglong.

After discussing with the Qu commanders, Zhou Xing prepared to let the two most powerful Qinglong guards attack the north gate.

These two soldiers were the first to follow the Qinglong King to attack the city. They can be said to be the Qinglong King’s bodyguards.
