    After New Year's Eve, it is the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, and it is the night of the Lantern Festival. Looking from a distance, Chao County has become wider and thicker. The city walls are oppressive and dull in the dim background of water and sky in the distance.  It was supposed to be a night of celebrations with dim lights and fireworks, but now it was completely silent.

    Zhuo Bufan stands on the top of the slope. This is where Huang Degong's commander's camp was located during the last siege of Chaoxian County.  []

    Chao County is not far from Shenlong Mountain. The Shenlong Army has long been hidden in Bantang Mountain, secretly transporting arms. At the same time, fast horses shuttle between Liu Liangzuo's tribe and Hong Chengchou's tribe in the north. To this day, the armies from the north and the south are slowly moving.  After pressing within twenty miles, Zhuo Bufan led the Shenlong Army to the front line where they could already see the head of Chao County City.

    Naturally, the mobilization of Dahua's army could not be hidden from Zhang Xianzhong. Hong Chengchou's tribe in the north also fought several battles in the past few days, uprooting several village and town strongholds outside Zhang Xianzhong. An army of hundreds of thousands in one direction did not seek to destroy the enemy, but only wanted to suppress the enemy slowly and steadily.  On the battlefield, not a single enemy force was annihilated, but the front was guarded so tightly that no bird could fly across it.

    Zhang Xianzhong's peripheral troops, which basically suffered no major damage, have shrunk back to Chao County in the past few days, and most of the people in Chao County have also ran out. Zhang Xianzhong did not do much to stop them. The war is approaching, so it is not appropriate to keep these people in the city.  It's no use, letting them go can save some food.  At this time, Chao County has truly turned into a military fortress. The west dock of Chao County is already crowded with ships of all sizes, and some soldiers with bright swords and armor are quickly boarding the ships.

    On the east slope outside the city, Zhuo Bufan was sitting on a horse, stroking his chin and looking at the city wall not far away. There was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and Bai Bing came riding his horse.

    "General, all our troops are in place. General Hong's troops on the northern front have already marched ten miles, and General Liu's troops on the southern front are also in place. However, Huang Degong has just passed the half soup." Bai Bing reported loudly.

    Zhuo Bufan nodded and looked at the Shenlong Army in front of them who had formed their formation in a finished glyph.  The cavalry of the three battalions was divided into three parts. The one closest to him was the first battalion. The artillery battalion's ten divine dragon cannons were hidden in the cavalry array. The gun positions were already in place. At the same time, a large pile was piled up behind each gun.  Most of the supplies in the box are cannonballs, and each cannon is also equipped with three barrels.  To the north are the 20 cannons of the Second Battalion and the Artillery Battalion, which are located northeast of the Chaoxian city wall and far out of the range of the city's artillery fire. At the same time, Zhuo Bufan can still be seen visually.  The three battalions and twenty pieces of artillery in the south were likewise arranged.

    "Very good, the sound of artillery fire in Chaohu is the order to attack, and everything will start as planned." Zhuo Bufan said in a leisurely manner: "Damn it, if this kid Yinbao can't get enough of me this time, I'll beat him to death."

    Bai Bing showed excitement and said softly: "General, the opponent has more than 100,000 troops. We, do we really want to do it ourselves?" It is not an exaggeration for Bai Bing to be so worried.  Militia horses, how long will it take to kill them even if they don't fight back?  Zhuo Bufan also divided his troops into three parts and scattered them in the northeast, east and southeast like chess pieces. If the opponent attacked at all costs, he was really not sure that he could withstand it.

    Zhuo Bufan smiled and said: "Of course! Xiaobai, the days when we held back are gone forever. Today is the day to show the world the power of our Shenlong Army. Today, you will know what the meaning of war is."  God. Today is the day when Zhang Xianzhong will be reduced to ashes, so let¡¯s use him to sacrifice the flag of our Shenlong Army.¡±

    Above the city of Chao County, Zhang Xianzhong was looking eastward with his hands behind his back. Behind him, more than a dozen officers were crowding around. On the city wall, a large number of copper tube artillery and iron-wood cannons were already in place, stretching out of the city like branches.  Head, densely packed and shocking.

    "Hmph, even these few people dare to attack the city." Zhang Xianzhong sneered, and with a look of contempt on his face, he had actually been watching here for a long time, but he still didn't see what tricks the other party was up to.

    A scribe who looked like an aide behind him came up and said charmingly: "Thousands of soldiers and horses are still standing on three legs. Is this Zhuo Bufan some kind of mighty general? Is he frightened by the king's reputation? Maybe he wants to show off, and then  Take refuge with the king."

    There was a burst of laughter and flattery all around, and the tension of the approaching war was relieved by the poor soldiers and horses in front of them who really had no deterrent effect.

    Zhang Xianzhong also smiled, but with disdain on his face, and this disdain was for the current military advisor behind him.  You only appreciate good things when they are lost. Zhang Xianzhong was neither a fool nor a reckless man. After Li Weisheng mysteriously disappeared, he felt deeply and extremely regretful.  If it hadn't been for Li Weisheng, he might still be hiding in the mountains. He didn't know when he would be surrounded by the Chinese army. If he couldn't escape as lucky as before, he would lose his life.  Until he accidentally received the help of Li Weisheng, he quickly grew in strength. Now, he has advanced into the rich Central Plains and has become more powerful with each passing day.  However, to this day, Zhang Xianzhong is not doing it for himself.He wanted to kill Li Weisheng and regretted it, but he was a little angry that Li Weisheng could not judge the situation and pay attention to maintaining his authority. It was a pity that he had lost this help.  Compared with Li Weisheng, these counselors around him are simply invisible trash.

    The soldiers and horses in front of us in the past few days have been proven to be the extraordinary troops of the mighty general.  It was the guy who was beaten to a pulp by him and ran away in embarrassment.  However, this person was also someone that Li Weisheng valued very much. It was precisely because of this Zhuo Bufan that he had a rift with Li Weisheng, which directly led to the chaotic night that followed.  Dragon fish, hum, dragon fish appears from Zhuge.  Thinking of these six words on the gold medal found in the belly of the dragon fish, I became extremely annoyed.  Li Weisheng, you are such a poor person. If you hadn't been taken in by me, you would have starved to death. There is no place for you in the throne of this world.

    Zhuo Bufan, dragon and fish, the emperor appears, and the military advisor leaves.  Suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed drastically, and he once again stared at the thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city.  Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. We could see very far in the cold wilderness, but we couldn't see clearly the people on the slope in the far distance.

    Zhang Xianzhong suddenly turned around, looked to the west of the city, and asked: "Has the Eighth Camp gone out?"

    An officer next to him bowed and said: "I just reported that we have already started to leave. We should have left the dock by now."

    On the pier, a large number of soldiers have all boarded the ships at this time. Hundreds of large and small wooden boats have anchored and set sails. The wind is light in winter, and many soldiers have used wood pulp and rowed them neatly.

    Suddenly, several flashes of fire flashed on the lake in the distance, and then, several roars came across the sky amidst the faint roar coming from the distance. Several wooden boats suddenly flashed with fire and turned into scattered wood chips.  The huge explosion force even overturned several surrounding boats. In a huge splash of water, countless sawdust and residual limbs were scattered, dyeing the water red.  Heart-wrenching screams came from several larger wooden boats nearby that had not been overturned. On those boats, the hulls of the boats had become mottled and incomplete, and there were countless holes in the sails. Several soldiers were covered in blood and staggered.  He staggered and fell into the water, and there was a splash of blood.

    There was another flash of light in the distance. This time, the flash continued continuously, with only a few breaths between each other. The roar of death in the air followed one after another, and the fleet that had not yet dispersed suddenly fell into an angry sea.  Amidst the huge explosions, water columns rose into the sky from time to time, and more often, there were explosions of fire when the wooden ship was directly hit.  The water columns and flames that rose up from the explosion plowed rapidly from south to north as if they had eyes. In such a short time, half of the ships in the fleet turned into torches reaching into the sky, and some smaller ships  It quickly fell silent, with only the mast sticking out of the water. In the water, body parts and bodies were floating, and even soldiers were struggling and flopping.  The soldiers on the ship were all elite members of Zhang Xianzhong's army, and their armor, swords and guns had all become life-threatening shackles at this time.

    A few smaller boats on the outermost side escaped this round of bombardment and rowed desperately towards the lake. Suddenly, a slender rope was tightened in the water to reveal the rope end, and at the same time the side hanger of the boat was pulled off.  Something on a few dark things beneath the water.

    "Boom, boom~~", there was no roar this time. Huge splashes of water rose up from the sides of the boats one after another, and the lake water rushed in from the large hole that suddenly appeared. Soon, these boats were faster than the others.  The burning boats sank to the bottom of the lake faster.

    The fire in the distance only stopped for a short while, and suddenly shined again. This time, a large number of desperate shouts arose from the fleet surrounded by sunken ships and flames.

    On the top of the city, Zhang Xianzhong's face was earth-colored, and his clenched fists were trembling slightly. The hellish scene at the west pier in the city made everyone fall into dementia. The scorching heat brought by the lake wind and the faint screams made people feel nervous.  beads of sweat, completely unable to feel the coldness of the winter night.

    Zhang Xianzhong's heart was as cold as ice at this moment. He suddenly turned around like a convulsion and stared at the thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city.

    As if to reward his intuition, the three soldiers and horses outside the city moved and spread slightly to both sides. Then, a flash of light appeared in the middle.

    Amidst the rumbling cannons, whistling sounds followed one after another. Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the city head dozens of steps away. Countless gravel and smoke were instantly enveloped. Several counselors screamed and fell to the ground, while Zhang Xianzhong's personal guards reacted extremely quickly.  , swooped up to protect the disgraced Zhang Xianzhong, and captured the city head, but any soldiers who stood in the way were cut down from the city wall with a knife.

    Fires were rising one after another on the top of the city, and in the huge explosions, stumps, rubble, and artillery pieces thrown up like toys fell one after another, as if the end was coming.  The remaining soldiers on the top of the city lit up the only artillery and even earthen cannons that could fight back. However, whether they were projectiles or solid shells, they fell into the empty fields before they reached half the distance.  The flashes of light in the distance flashed in an orderly manner, sending the screams of death step by step to the top of the city.  Some howls missed the city and flew past the city.In the city, it brought greater destruction and killing.  There was no need to aim at the densely packed army in the city. Each explosion always caused screams and stumps.  The house that was hit quickly burst into flames, spreading and burning down the street.
