Chapter 572

But God seems to care for him. Lu Xiangsheng's luck has always been very good, which is favored by fate.

No matter what you do, you will enjoy the wind and the water. Reading will enjoy the wind and the water. You can easily become an official. Even after you enter the official career, you will make great progress. You are young, and you have reached a point that many people can't achieve in a lifetime.

He has also become a well-known figure in the world. In terms of fame, he is even earlier and faster than sun chuanting. Compared with sun chuanting, sun chuanting is still a rising star. Sun chuanting is just a governor of the three sides. He has commanded hundreds of thousands of people and is the Governor General of the five provinces to suppress the exiles for the imperial court.

According to the division of areas given to him by the imperial court, he was responsible for the five northern provinces, while other places were under the management of Hong Chengchou. In some aspects, he was on an equal footing with Hong Chengchou.

This time he ventured to send troops to Nanpi. After the soldiers surrounded Nanpi City, the snow stopped and the wind stopped.

The biggest problem that bothered them was the snow and the cold north wind. That is to say, after they surrounded Nanpi, the snow stopped and the cold wind slowly stopped. It was not so cold, which made Lu Xiangsheng ecstatic. He thought this might be God's favor for him and Daming.

Lu Xiangsheng was able to occupy a high position at a young age because he was very smart, farsighted and had an overall vision. He could see that if Daming did not restore the canal in a short time, the situation in the North would change dramatically next year. Daming would not be able to maintain its strong military presence in the north, which would make them more passive, More difficulties.

He regarded the cessation of the snowstorm as God's care for Daming, so he didn't give up this opportunity. The next afternoon, he organized tens of thousands of people to attack Nanpi city.

He once walked around Nanpi city for a few days and observed the situation in the city. There were no shortcomings available. The opponent's defense was watertight, no dead corners and no flaws. He had no other way except strong attack. He also knew that his opponent was Liu Feiyun.

A veteran who has led the army for more than ten years is very cautious and brave. Just seeing that they have been staying in the city and sitting outside the city, we know that he is a very stable man.

Therefore, in the face of such difficulties, he had no choice but to send troops to attack Nanpi city. Therefore, he ordered his four generals to lead thousands of men and horses to encircle Nanpi city from all directions.

Lu Xiangsheng also had more than a dozen generals under his command, including five at the general level. These people also followed him for several years and became his trusted generals.

There is a saying that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Loyal people like Lu Xiangsheng can mix with him, but also some loyal and brave people. Unlike Hong Chengchou, there are all kinds of people around him.

Lu Xiangsheng is a man of integrity. He can't tolerate a person with a little sand in his eyes. Although he is not to the point of observing no disciples, he is also to the point of clear water. He will never tolerate many things.

For example, his Tianxiong army is one of the few armies in the Ming army that do not deduct their salaries. It is impossible to be an officer under him and get promoted and rich. If he wants to work for the Ming Court and stand out, he will come here to seal his wife and children. If anyone dares to embezzle their salaries, he will be merciless and do things himself.

Don't underestimate him as a scholar. He personally cut off the heads of five Quartermaster officers who embezzled military pay, two of whom still had a great background and background in the court.

As a result, the other party put out the backstage and thought he could scare him. Lu Xiangsheng, who knows that he was not afraid, but personally cut off their heads, and then sent their heads back to his backstage.

As for how hard the backstage of Quartermaster officers is, one is Yang Sichang, the Minister of the Ministry of war, and the other is the disciple of Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet. As a result, he cut off their heads without mercy. It can be seen that he has a hot temper and is straightforward.

That is because Lu Xiangsheng is so brave, so upright and strict in managing the army, the soldiers worship him like gods. Even in such a bad environment, they still follow him to attack Nanpi. If Hong Chengchou is one of these soldiers, most of them will blow up the camp.

Therefore, although the officers and soldiers face great difficulties and fight in the harsh environment under the snowstorm, their morale is still quite high.

After the soldiers had a good meal, each drank a bowl of wine to warm up, carried a knife and gun and a shield, and began to attack Nanpi City, which was guarded by Liu's army.

Lu Xiangsheng also knew that the situation was critical, so he didn't give it to me in the first wave of attack, so he mobilized more than 4000 elite soldiers to rush from all directions.

And in the first wave of attack, he mobilized two generals and four generals, which can be said to be determined to win.

The soldiers of their army swept in like a flood wave, and they didn't have many weapons, except for simple shields, such as shield cars and temporary building cars.

At present, there are not many ways they can choose to attack the city. They still rush close to the city wall, climb up the city wall with a ladder or a tower car, and then fight with Liu Jun.

Liu Jun was also unwilling to show weakness. He deployed a large number of musketeers and archers on the city wall, as well as some temporary stone throwing machines.

Originally, Liu Jiajun no longer used the old thing of stone throwing machine. In their eyes, this kind of thing was very backward, but their cannons could not be transported. They could only catch up with some stone throwing machines temporarily in the city.

A large number of bows, arrows and stones rained down and attacked the military array of the Ming army, making their soldiers fall in rows.

However, this army was quite fierce. Even though the enemy had fierce firepower and bullets, they still didn't flinch, but continued to rush forward. Many troops rushed under the city wall, set up a ladder, bit a knife in their mouth and climbed up with a shield in their hand.

Because of the thick snow on the ground, the floor car they pushed couldn't push anything, and hundreds of people couldn't push anything. They could only let the soldiers rush forward with shields. After rushing close, they set up a cloud ladder, climbed up to the city tower, climbed up and fought with Liu Jiajun.

However, Liu Jiajun was well prepared. At close range, they put many stones and logs on the wall and directly smashed them down, killing many Ming soldiers. Often a stone or a beating wood was thrown down and directly killed a ladder.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered his archers to move forward and suppress the Liu family army on the city wall.

They can't pull up the cannon now. They can only use bows and arrows as long-range fire support, and in some ways, they are pressed by Liu Jiajun.

Because Liu Jiajun mainly uses fire guns and bows and arrows as long-range attacks, their ability is very strong, which makes their soldiers lose a lot and kill a lot of people. However, they believe that if they rush into close combat with Liu Jiajun, they will win.

Under the shield of the shield hand, the archers of the Ming army quickly approached the city tower within a hundred steps, and then launched a counter fire with Liu Jiajun on the city tower with a simple shield defense line. People on both sides fell down with arrows.

However, the Ming army's archers are not Liu Jiajun's opponents, because the arm God crossbow used by Liu Jiajun is labor-saving, faster firing speed and longer range. During the confrontation between the two armies, the Ming army's archers suffered heavy casualties.

However, the attack of the archers did play a role in covering the siege troops. In order to deal with the Ming archers, Liu Jiajun took out a lot of people to shoot against them, and there were fewer people to deal with the siege. What's worse, their close combat sharp weapon grenades could not be used because they were wet, so they could only use stone heads and challenge stones to deal with the enemy.

In this way, the Ming army had the opportunity to attack the troops. With simple weapons and blood courage, they rushed up the wall to fight with Liu's army with weapons and ladder.

Originally, the Liu family army in the city was organized and planned, and everything seemed orderly. However, when the Ming army rushed up the wall and fought closely with them, they seemed a little flustered.

Melee fighting is the director of the Ming army, while Liu Jiajun is good at queuing shooting. Because of the cold weather, their loading speed slows down obviously, and the slower loading speed weakens their firepower.

This could not block the enemy's impact and let them take the opportunity to rush up the wall.

It was Lu Jiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng's cousin, who rushed to the city first. Unlike Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Jiangsheng studied hard for ten years and won the Jinshi early. However, he had the courage to defeat the enemy. He followed Lu Xiangsheng and fought in many places. Every time he fought, he took the lead and was very brave. He was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a general.

This time, he was no exception. He first led his troops to rush. He took a shield in his hand, bit the knife in his mouth, held the ladder in one hand, and came forward quickly and flexibly. Liu Jun hit several stones in the city, but he didn't hit him, so he rushed up. He became the first officer of the Ming army to rush to the city.

Lu Xiangsheng has been watching the war. When he saw his cousin Lu Jiangsheng rush up the city tower, his mood became relaxed.

Although they suffered heavy casualties and many soldiers died when they rushed into the array, they rushed up the wall after all. Based on his previous combat experience, once they rushed up the wall, they could basically solve the battle and defeat the enemy.

Lu Xiangsheng lamented that many soldiers died in this war. Many soldiers lay on the cold snow in order to serve the country and could never come back. However, their sacrifice was worth it. They just broke through the defense line of Liu's army and attacked their city wall. They were ready to take it down at one fell swoop. According to past experience, as long as they took the city wall, Basically, they can win, but who knows that the situation has changed.
