Zhang Ximeng often speaks in front of people, but he is full of energy and his voice is like a bell. However, he had to teach Chen Youliang a lesson a stone's throw away, which inevitably hurt his vitality. His chest was hot and very uncomfortable.

Therefore, he didn't say much, but he could understand that the army in the city was shaking, but Chen Youliang couldn't hold on for long.

Although relying on some words to open Wuchang City, it is a bit exaggerated, but Zhang Ximeng stabs Chen Youliang directly. Fighting the world naturally depends on luck, otherwise, like Zhou Ziwang, it will become a box as soon as it is raised, and no one can help.

But if you finally win the world, it is all due to luck. That would be too shallow.

To be able to have the last laugh among the heroes, must have done a lot of things right.

Fields, taxes, official administration, laws, soldiers and horses, money and grain, commerce, and labor... This is a huge system. Only when all of them are properly operated, can they explode with due power.

Chen Youliang is absolutely first-class in military affairs, he is ruthless, has a dark heart, is good at seizing opportunities, and can conquer cities... But the problem is that these abilities are far from becoming the founding emperor. Just a hero.

Zhang Ximeng talked about taxation, distribution of wealth, people's livelihood, and the living conditions of the common people... For Chen Youliang, it was a blow to dimensionality reduction.

It's not that he doesn't realize the importance of these, but he doesn't know how to do it at all.

Maybe, I'm really not Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent!

Chen Youliang sat paralyzed on the dragon bed made of pure gold and sighed softly. He took off his crown and threw it aside at will. The white hair on his temples was very dazzling.

He was still in his prime, but he was already exhausted, to the point of helplessness.

After Zhang Ximeng's stimulation, he didn't even have the last snack.

The momentum is weak, even if you think about Zhang Shicheng's battle of Gaoyou, fight against the backwater, and fight to the death, you can't do it.

Therefore, Zhang Ximeng's words saved at least the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Who dares to underestimate the power of mouth cannons?

That is to say, Chen Youliang is in good health, otherwise Zhang Ximeng would have scolded him to death.

"Go, call the prince."

Not long after, brother Chen Youdang escorted the crown prince Chen Shan, and the second son Chen Li to meet Chen Youliang... These two children are not very big, Wu Diu Diu's eyes are full of fear, and they are timid like small beasts. In general, dumbfounded.

Chen Youliang stretched out his hand to pull the prince, but who knew that the little guy took a half step back... Chen Youliang was a little surprised, but he smiled bitterly, "Take it! Fourth brother, you stay."

Helpless, the two children left, leaving only Chen You as one.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Let's call it the third brother!" Chen Youliang laughed at himself: "As of now, I am the end of the grass-headed emperor. Those civil and military officials are unreliable. In the end, it is our brothers who are the ones who live and die together."

Chen Youdang hesitated a little, and said hastily: "Third brother, don't panic, the city of Wuchang is strong. I heard that Chahan Timur is stationing heavy troops in Luoyang, he may go south to Xiangyang, and when Zhu Yuanzhang is attacked by the enemy, he may not be able to hold it. !"

Chen Youliang was a little stunned, pointing to Yuan Jun to save himself?

maybe!

He smiled lightly, "Then let's hold on... But fourth brother, you have to do something for me."

"What's the matter?" Chen Youdang said in a low voice, his heart was inexplicably throbbing, this thing would not be easy to do.

"You, you killed Shan'er and Li'er!"

"What?" Chen Youdang was shocked, his brother didn't go crazy, right?

"I'm not crazy, Brother Yu is an emperor anyway, I can't let Zhu Chongba look down on me! I want face! When the city is broken, you will kill these two children, and our father and son will die together, so that we can let them go. The world knows that Chen Youliang is not useless, at least there are two or two bones!"

Chen Youdang was extremely difficult to understand, how could it be honorable to drag his two sons to be buried with him?

But Chen Youliang insisted so, and he was helpless.

"Brother, the younger brother is also a big man. The younger brother is willing to follow the elder brother and share life and death. When he goes underground, he will also be a **** for the elder brother!"

Chen Youliang frowned and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade him, but in the end he said, "If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, we are brothers who deserve justice. We are brothers!"

Chen Youliang babbled, and his expression was in a trance, as if he was going crazy. Chen Youdang didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly retired, but his heart was beating wildly, and he could not live in peace.

Did it get to this point?

It seems that this country is not going to last long.

Just when Chen Youliang encouraged his family to become benevolent, the final deployment was also underway in the Ming army camp.

"Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongzhong, command 500 warships, block the river, and don't let a single ship go!" Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree coldly, "On land, Governor Chang Yuchun will launch an attack and besiege the city on all sides. Leave vacancies. There is no need to do anything to surround the three and one, but as long as a point is broken, the Chen army will show signs of collapse, and it is not allowed to mistreat the prisoners, let alone kill and surrender at will."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Chang Yuchun and added, "Those who violate the order will be executed!"

Chang Yuchun's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed: "I know, please rest assured."

At this time, Zhang Ximeng said in a hoarse voice: "Not only you, but also the soldiers below must have a string in their hearts. What we want is a complete city, the entire lake and Guangxi, and the hearts of the world... The battle must be fought beautifully and simply, not only on the battlefield, but also in the hearts and minds of the people.”

Chang Yuchun nodded quickly, wrote down one by one, and then went to deploy the troops.

In fact, Chang Yuchun has practiced more than once about siege operations.

Even though the Ming army had a lot of experience in sieging cities before, in all fairness, it was still very troublesome to open a well-guarded fortified city.

The long siege, the fierce offensive, how much it will cost is really not good. Gu Nian

However, among the Ming army at this time, there was a very special group of people who were the miners of Daye.

In the past, the Ming army also used gunpowder to break the city, and after this group of miners joined, they quickly grasped the essence of gunpowder breaking the city.

"Changda Governor, the most important thing is to dig tunnels, get close to the city wall, and then put gunpowder under the city wall and explode it in one fell swoop. The subordinates have already drawn up a plan, please take a look at it."

Chang Yuchun didn't answer, but looked at the miners seriously, and said, "You are all experts, so you naturally know what to do. I can only tell you that the superiors attach great importance to the miners, and there will be many measures in the future. , please rest assured."

The miners nodded. Although they had not been in contact with the Ming army for a long time, they already knew very well that this was a group of people who counted and would never coax them.

"Don't worry, the subordinates will not be ashamed!"

Everything is ready, there is no hesitation.

In the morning light, the trebuchets of the Ming army took the lead in opening the prelude to the siege.

Hundreds of catties of stone bullets pierced the sky like meteors, smashing into the head of Wuchang City. In an instant, the bricks and stones were shattered, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust.

Under the vermilion flag, the soldiers shouted and rushed to the city head, with a mighty aura.

The bows and crossbows of the two sides were shot at each other, locusts flew by, and every moment, someone was injured and fell down, but someone quickly came up, and it didn't stop for a while.

Although Chen Youliang was at the end of the road, but after ten years of fighting, he still experienced a group of tenacious and fierce men, and not everyone in this group was willing to submit to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not everyone agrees with the Ming Army's set of things.

There are even some people who know that they have sinned deeply, surrender to the past, and have no good juice to eat.

There is no way out, then there is only one fight to the death!

Fight, keep fighting.

The Ming army went forward and succeeded, rushed to the city again and again, climbed to the top of the city again and again, and was beaten back by Chen Han's troops again and again.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted all day, but Chang Yuchun did not intend to stop. On the contrary, he erected a torch, and the fire soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

Continue the siege!

"madman!"

Chen Youzhi spat fiercely, but he could only carry his weapon and continue to supervise the battle to the death.

Chen Youliang also appeared on the top of the city from time to time. He wore a conspicuous dragon robe and encouraged him to fight to the end.

And Chen Youliang's favorite two words are Chengren!

A man is born between heaven and earth, and he cannot achieve the great cause of kingship and hegemony, but he must be benevolent and righteous, and let the world know our bones!

Because of the number of times, even the subordinates are tired of listening.

The more benevolent you are, the more we ponder whether it is better to live!

As long as the Ming army came in, we were helpless, and we surrendered.

Anyway, it is better to die than to live.

The Ming army's offensive was still fierce, and the catapults were overwhelming and did not stop for a moment.

I don't know where the Ming army got so many weapons?

Don't want any money?

The battle on the ground is so fierce, and the busyness of the underground is quite amazing. There are five hundred miners working around the clock to dig tunnels with all their might.

They are in the middle of the narrow tunnel, busy with work, sweaty, and the air is foul, mixed with all kinds of smells, and they can breathe into the sky.

But even so, the miners were in high spirits and digging with all their might.

After three days and nights of struggle, there were a total of five tunnels, four of which were successfully excavated, while the remaining one collapsed and seven miners lost their lives.

On the eve of the broken city, I closed my eyes.

Naturally, their sacrifices would not be in vain. Through the tunnel, there were tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder, and they were delivered to the city at night. Then the miners connected the gunpowder bag with bamboo, and placed a match rope in the middle of the bamboo tube.

And then blocked the tunnel with stones ~www.mtlnovel.com~.

ignition!

Just when dawn was the most tired, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the city wall was blown open by a gap of more than 30 feet. Before the smoke cleared, Chang Yuchun put on his armor and carried weapons, and rushed up first.

"Tell the superior, the city is broken today, and Chen Youliang is finished!"

The city wall exploded, and Chen Youliang knew almost instantly that he was finished.

"I didn't expect it to happen so quickly?" He suddenly remembered something, "Where's Chen Youdang? Go tell him and act according to my will!"

Chen Youliang shouted several times, but Chen Youdang disappeared. Not only him, but also another brother, Chen Youzhi, secretly came down from the city wall, took off his armor, and put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers.

Chengren is too difficult, let's run it...
