Zhang Xianzhong stopped, looked at the big man, and hurriedly said: "Let everyone in the city go up to the city wall, as long as we can hold the city wall, then these cavalry are nothing to worry about, after all, it is not so easy for cavalry to attack the city.
At the same time, we asked for help from other brothers in the 36th Battalion. These more than 1000 cavalry are definitely not something we can compete with. "
After Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, he led the big man towards the outside.
"Father, we are going too." Zhang Dingguo looked at Zhang Xianzhong who was going out, and shouted hastily.
Zhang Xianzhong turned his head and said to Zhang Dingguo, "Just stay here well. The reinforcements from outside the city are cavalry, so they are not so easy to deal with. You all stay here and stay well for me."
Zhang Xianzhong reprimanded him a few words, then turned around and left.
When Zhao Wen appeared outside Puzhou City, a group of thieves had already climbed the city wall, but most of the thieves hadn't been seen yet.
When Puzhou City was broken, these thieves fell into a carnival. Although several days had passed, there were still a large number of thieves who hadn't slowed down, holding the wine jar all day, drinking a lot drunk.
Following Zhang Xianzhong's order and the continuous dispatch of manpower to gather his subordinates, the men and horses were gradually gathered by Zhang Xianzhong.
After gathering the men and horses, Zhang Xianzhong led them directly up to the city wall.
Zhao Wen led the soldiers to stop less than a mile away from the city wall.
Zhao Wen looked through the binoculars at the rogues who were constantly gathering on the top of the city, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a while to attack the city, when the number of rogues on the top of the city no longer increases, then attack the city, then the siege battle will continue." It's time to directly destroy the living power of the bandits."
Zhao Da bowed his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then passed on Zhao Wen's order.
When Zhang Xianzhong came to the city wall with his troops, he looked at the Xuanzhen soldiers outside the city wall and frowned tightly.
"The armor of this group is excellent, and the armor on their bodies is still made of refined iron. I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money to pull out such a team. This army is not ordinary. If we really can't If this army is standing outside the city, then our attack on Puzhou City will be considered a waste of all our previous efforts.
It is impossible for the Chief Secretary of Shanxi to have such excellent cavalry. If there were, we would be defeated by these people just after we crossed the Yellow River.
But I also know a thing or two about the soldiers and horses in Datong Town, and their equipment can't be so sophisticated.Where is this soldier? "
"Could it be the Guan Ning Army? I heard that the Guan Ning Army is the most powerful army in the world." A personal guard following Zhang Xianzhong looked at the soldiers and horses in Xuanzhen outside the city and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xianzhong shook his head, "I saw the Guan Ning Army a few times when I was in the frontier army, and only some of the Guan Ning Army wore armor, and the armor on their bodies was far less sophisticated than today's army.
Now the armor on the army outside the city looks like new, and it looks like it has been maintained frequently.
In the Guan Ning army, apart from those elite servants, very few wore armor, even if they wore armor, it was cotton armor, but the soldiers and horses outside the city were obviously wearing iron armor.
Where is this soldier and horse, I really don't understand. "
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the soldiers and horses in Xuanzhen outside the city, frowning tightly, and explained with a gloomy face.
"Pass down the order. From now on, give me all the energy to come out, and I must resist these people outside the city."
"Yes."
The big man standing behind Zhang Xianzhong cupped his hands at Zhang Xianzhong, then turned towards the city wall and passed on Zhang Xianzhong's order.
Seeing that the number of thieves on the top of the city was no longer increasing, Zhao Wen turned around and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Siege the city, 40 fires will serve you."
As Zhao Wen's voice fell, nearly a hundred soldiers jumped off their horses carrying 40 fire.
They lined up neatly and stood at the forefront of Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses.
Zhao Wen looked at the loaded 40 fires, pointed the long knife in his hand directly at Puzhou City in front, and shouted angrily: "Let it go!"
Following Zhao Wen's order, nearly a hundred rockets with orange flames and shrieking screams headed towards the bandits on the Puzhou city wall.
Looking at the flying rockets, Zhang Xianzhong's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Hurry up and dodge." Although Zhang Xianzhong didn't know what these rockets were, he felt a terrifying power from above.
He yelled, and then hid under the parapet.
The moment he hid, the rocket flew directly over.
Some rockets hit the city wall directly, sending out violent explosions.
In an instant, explosions sounded one after another on the city wall, and the fragments produced by the explosion of the rockets flew directly towards the thieves on the city wall.
Those thieves who were still in a state of confusion were directly attacked by the rocket fragments like a storm. The irregular fragments directly passed through their bodies, twisted their internal organs into pieces, and then passed through the other side of the body .
When the rocket exploded, it directly blasted the bricks on the city wall into pieces, and the fast-moving brick fragments flew directly towards the thief.
These thieves are almost wearing thin layers of coats, which can't stop the high-speed flying bricks at all.
Blood sprays kept appearing on Liu Zei's body, and the Liu Bandit standing on the top of the wall kept falling to the ground.
"What is this thing? Why is it so powerful and it hits so far? I haven't seen any cannons in the army. What's going on here?"
Zhang Xianzhong watched his men and horses keep falling to the ground, blood dripping from his heart.This is the family fortune he had accumulated with great difficulty, and to die without meaning today, for Zhang Xianzhong, it was more uncomfortable than killing him.
Zhang Xianzhong hid under the female wall, and shouted to the guards beside him: "Retreat, tell the whole army to withdraw quickly. We are no match for these people at all, so withdraw quickly."
The thieves are not in a bad mood now. When they meet the incompetent, old, weak, sick and disabled guards, they are extremely ferocious. But when they meet Zhao Wen's Xuanzhen soldiers, they retreat without thinking. No thought of fighting back.
It's not that they don't want to, but the weapons in the hands of Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses are too powerful. The attack of Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses is like an adult beating a child, there is no other level at all.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly." Zhang Xianzhong shouted, and then fled directly to the city with a few personal guards.
It wasn't just Zhang Xianzhong, when the rockets started to explode, the thieves became confused.Without Zhang Xianzhong's order, these thieves would have escaped.
Zhao Wen looked at the gangsters making a mess on the top of the city, and shouted at the soldiers carrying 40 fire in front: "Don't stop, keep bombing me."
Under Zhao Wen's order, 40 fires continued to bombard for three rounds.
When the three rounds of rockets fell on the city wall again, the casualties of the bandits on the city wall became more serious.
The thieves on the city wall, crying for their father and mother, crowded together and rushed down the city wall.
Some thieves couldn't squeeze through and jumped directly from the top of the city.In this way, many thieves were killed.
"Blast open the city gate."
After several rounds of bombing, Zhao Wen pointed at the gate of Puzhou City and shouted loudly.

Chapter 258 Taking Puzhou City into the bag
"Boom boom boom."
As Zhao Wen's voice fell, several rockets exploded directly at the city gate.
In an instant, the gate of Puzhou City was blown into pieces.
"Rush me!"
Zhao Wen looked at the blasted gate, shouted, and then rushed towards the gate first.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had withdrawn from the city wall under the protection of several personal guards.
He turned his head to look at the city gate that was blown open, and the Xuanzhen soldiers rushing towards this side outside the city gate, and hurriedly fell down and fled to the rear.
When Zhang Xianzhong fled back to Zhizhou Yamen, he looked at Zhang Dingguo and others who ran out, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quick, follow me quickly."
Before these youngsters could react, Zhang Xianzhong directly asked the guards behind him to carry these youngsters on their shoulders, and headed towards the backyard of the yamen.
The soldiers who ran back with Zhang Xianzhong still had his old battalion, but now there are less than 400 soldiers left.
These 400 people followed directly behind Zhang Xianzhong, heading towards the backyard of the yamen.
Near the backyard of the yamen was tethered the war horse that Zhang Xianzhong had accumulated over the years.Now these war horses are the best way for him to run.
He rushed to a war horse, quickly untied the horse's reins, jumped onto the horse, waved the whip in his hand, and fled towards the back of the Yamen.
When Zhao Wen rushed into Puzhou City, he first cleaned up the thieves who had just run down from the city wall and hadn't yet escaped.
These thieves were nothing but a mob. When they saw the soldiers and horses of Xuanzhen charging in on their horses, they knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.
Of course, these surrendered troops, Zhao Wen, would not kill them. When the railway is built in the future, these people are just right to level the road and erect the rails.
"Surrender without killing!"
Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses rushed into the city, holding 56 and a half, pointing at the thieves who hadn't kneeled on the ground, and shouted loudly.
"Kneel down and surrender, or you will be killed without mercy."
Xuan Zhenbing directly fired a few shots into the sky, frightening the standing thieves to kneel down hastily.
Of course, there are also some vicious thieves here, and when they saw Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses rushing in, they even wanted to fight with Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses.
However, after a few loud gunshots, several thieves who were still planning to resist were directly beaten to death by 56 and a half in the hands of Xuanzhen's soldiers.
The other thieves were almost scared to pee when they saw the thieves who were killed on the spot watching this scene.
"My lord, there are still some thieves on the top of the city. I will take people to clear them up."
Zhao Daniu saw that there were still figures flickering on the top of the city, and he bowed his hands to Zhao Wen, and then directly led more than 50 people towards the top of the city.
"You all give me back, or we will kill him."
A thief directly dragged Zhizhou to him, put the knife in his right hand on Zhizhou's neck, and shouted at Zhao Daniu with a vicious expression.
There are about fifty or sixty thieves behind this thieves. They raised their knives and pointed at Zhao Daniu, their faces full of madness like a desperate fight.
Zhao Daniu looked at these thieves, and smiled coldly, "Hehe, I don't know such a shit Zhizhou, so what's the point to me if you kill him?"
Holding a long knife made of high-carbon steel, Zhao Daniu walked slowly towards the thief.
The thief who dragged Zhizhou looked at Zhao Daniu who kept coming, and shouted in horror: "Don't come here, if you come here again, I will really kill him."
But Zhao Daniu would not be threatened by him at all, and he still walked slowly forward.
And the thief kept backing away because of fear.
At this time, a soldier standing behind Zhao Daniu held a 56 and a half, and pointed his gun at the thief.
The soldier's gaze passed from the rear sight to the front sight, and finally landed on the thief's forehead.
The soldier fixed his eyes on the thief, took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and then directly pulled the trigger of the 56 and a half.
After a gunshot, a large finger-thick hole appeared on the forehead of the thief who was dragging Zhizhou, and his skull was also directly blown away by a 7.62mm bullet.
A gleam appeared in Zhao Daniu's eyes, and then he swung the long knife in his hand to kill forward.
The Liu thief was a little hesitant when he was frightened by this sudden scene. When they realized it, Zhao Daniu had already dragged Zhizhou over.
Zhao Daniu pulled Zhizhou back, and he yelled at the soldiers behind him: "My lord has life, catch more people."
When Zhao Daniu yelled this sentence, the soldiers behind him rushed forward holding the 56 and a half, and at the same time kept shouting: "Kneel down and don't kill, or shoot and kill."
As the Xuanzhen soldiers approached, these surviving bandits gradually dropped their weapons on the ground.
This kind of weapon is not something they can resist at all, it takes people's lives and invisibly.
Nobody wants to die, least of all these rabble.When they heard that Zhao Daniu said that they wanted to catch alive, they all gave up their resistance.
Seeing that the overall situation on the city wall had been decided, Zhao Daniu brought Zhizhou directly to Zhao Wen.
At this time, the city of Puzhou was already in chaos. After Zhao Daniu threw Zhizhou in front of Zhao Wen, he led his soldiers to the depths of Puzhou city to pay off the remaining thieves.
Zhizhou stood in front of Zhao Wen, and he looked at Zhao Wen with the expression of the rest of his life after a catastrophe.
"May I ask this general, where are you soldiers and horses? I'm afraid there are no such powerful soldiers and horses as generals in Shanxi?" Zhizhou looked at Zhao Wen who was riding a horse, and asked.
Zhao Wen rode on the horse, looking down at Zhizhou, "Are you the Zhizhou of Puzhou City?"
Zhizhou was wearing an official uniform, so his identity was not difficult to recognize.
The prefect sighed, "I am the prefect of Puzhou City."
"What's your name? How many years are left in your term? Where are you from?" Zhao Wen asked inquisitively, as if checking his household registration.
Zhizhou pondered for a moment, now he has no idea where the soldiers and horses in front of him are, but the armors on these soldiers and horses are all in the shape of the Ming Dynasty army, and these people saved him, so there is no Concealing it, he began to speak, "When I was named Zuo Tian, I was from Hangzhou. I just took over as the magistrate of Puzhou this year. The term of office is more than two years to nearly three years."
Zhao Wen looked at the Zhizhou, and a bold plan gradually appeared in his mind.
"Do you want to know where I am from?" Zhao Wen looked at Zuo Tianshi with a playful face.
Zuo Tianshi looked at the armor on Zhao Wen's body and the banners of the soldiers behind him, his face was full of doubts.
Although this group of soldiers and horses carried flags, there was nothing related to identity on the flags of this group of soldiers and horses. With these things alone, Zuo Tianshi still couldn't tell Zhao Wen's identity.
Zhao Wen looked at Zuo Tian with a puzzled look on his face, and chuckled lightly: "Let me tell you the truth, I am Zhao Wen, the chief soldier of Xuan Town, and these soldiers and horses are my soldiers and horses in Xuan Town. What do you think of me? How about soldiers and horses? Are they strong?"
When Zuo Tian heard this, he was even more puzzled.Did the imperial court mobilize the soldiers and horses of Xuanzhen?
But why did the imperial court mobilize soldiers and horses from Xuanzhen?Although Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses had broken the siege of the capital before, they were only dealing with some thieves and bandits now.
Although these rogues are quite powerful, the soldiers and horses of Datong Town can wipe out these rogues and bandits. Why didn't the imperial court mobilize the soldiers and horses of Datong Town but mobilize the soldiers and horses of Xuan Town?
