Chapter 1501 : Zhang Shicheng's Dilemma

Only one night later, Zhang Shicheng contracted his brother Zhang Shixin and led his troops to protrude from Xumen. This time, I don’t know if it was Zhang Shicheng’s leading role or if everyone knew that this was the last battle. Pingjiang’s 50,000 troops were brave and fierce, and Chang Yuchun’s troops, who were fighting head-on, could not resist it. Such a good opportunity, could have broken through, but Zhang Shicheng’s younger brother Zhang Shixin, who was standing on the top of the city, yelled: “If the soldiers are tired of fighting, they can stop the troops” and immediately called out the gold medal.

Zhang Shicheng and others were stunned. Chang Yuchun revived, turned around and attacked, defeating the Eastern Wu soldiers. "Since Zhang Shicheng did not dare to come back."

The situation in Pingjiang changed rapidly. Seeing that the city was hopeless, Zhang Shicheng also gave up breaking the city and killed many war horses in the city, allowing the soldiers to eat the war horses and strictly guard the Pingjiang city.

After hearing the news with relish, Xiao Yun just sighed: "The sky is dead Zhang Shicheng!" Then he ignored it and told Geng Bingwen that the famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River had a soft face and a round butt. At first, Xiao Yun just asked casually, but he didn't know that this general who seemed to have an honest and decent look. When he heard that Du Yue'e, the famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River, his eyes were shining and he became interested. Regardless of Xiao Yun's position being several levels older than him, he said that the girl liked those moves. This guy was very polite, and he only stared Xiao Yun with his eyes wide as if he didn't know him.

The two were talking, and seeing Qiu Cheng, who was sent out to inquire about the news, hurriedly brought the horse. The Hanshan people first joined the army to fill thousands of households. In the 15th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was stationed in Hezhou, participated in the conquest of Caishi and Taiping. He also followed the general Xu Da to conquer Lishui and Liyang in Jiangsu. He was bravest in every battle. In the 19th year of Zhizheng, he conquered Quzhou with Chang Yuchun, and Zhu Yuanzhang promoted him to the commander-in-chief.

In the 21st year of Zhizheng, Qiu Cheng followed the army to attack Anqing, Liao Yongzhong and Zhang Zhixiong broke his water camp. Qiu Cheng sent troops to defeat Anqing, and Qiu Cheng was therefore named Anqing's guard. Qiu Cheng successfully gathered the military and civilians while serving, and had a strict defense, leaving Chen Youliang unable to take advantage of the opportunity. Later, Qiu Cheng conquered Chen Youliang and annihilated the enemy Jingjiangkou, and was promoted to the commander of the left-behind central guard by Zhu Yuanzhang. This time he had no hope to participate in the war to siege Zhang Shicheng, but learned that he followed the loyal and brave general Xiao

Yun was happy to guard the three gates outside Pingjiang City. Although he was a military general, he was not stupid. Pingjiang City was besieged for half a year. This time, Zhang Shicheng would definitely be defeated by a 200,000 army. It can be said that anyone who can follow the army to attack Zhang Shicheng would be a great achievement. Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with following a loyal and brave general who was much younger than him. He had just been transferred by Xiao Yun to inquire about the enemy situation, but this guy went there in a row, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.

"What's the situation?" Xiao Yun and Geng Bingwen asked.

Qiu Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Report to General, if you go to Pingjiang City for another twenty miles, you will go to Pingjiang City. The eight city gates of Pingjiang City, Huqiu Gate, Lou Gate, Xu Gate, Chang Gate, Pan Gate, West Gate, and North Gate are all surrounded by our General Xu and General Chang, and will wait for our army to rush to the northeast, southwest and northwest three city gates to seal the way for Zhang Shicheng's army to escape to the north. Now General He and the last general have rushed to the southwest and two city gates in the northwest. Just wait for the general's army to go and trap the northeast, and you will be foolproof!

Eleven city gates were sealed, and even if the birds could not fly out, Zhang Shicheng's army naturally could not escape.

"It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is going to kill Zhang Shicheng this time. This man who revolted on eighteen shoulder poles rushed all the way and occupied the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the chaos of the world. He faced the millions of Tartars' army, Ling Ran was not afraid of bloody men. He occupied most of the Jiangnan and a prosperous land, and the most plotter in the world. However, in just over ten years, he was once again besieged in the city. This time he didn't have such good luck. He was not facing the stupid emperor of the Tartars, but the future Emperor Hongwu, and he must be defeated!"

"What's the situation right now?" Xiao Yun sighed softly and asked.

Qiu Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general, Pingjiang City is solid. General Xu and General Chang led the soldiers to attack many times. Unfortunately, the walls of Pingjiang City are too high, and it is inconvenient for our soldiers to attack. Zhang Shicheng could not help Zhang Shicheng for a moment. However, after discussing with General Xu and General Chang, he decided to use the method of locking the city, divided the troops to guard each gate, built long lines around the city to siege them, and set up wooden towers to monitor the movements in the city, and set up crossbows and muskets on the tower. Once Zhang Shicheng has any abnormal movement, he will attack the city fiercely.

"This time, I think Zhang Shicheng is in danger?" Geng Bingwen, who has not spoken.

Xiao Yun nodded. Geng Bingwen defended the city to the death. No one could defeat him except Zhu Wenzheng, the deadest defender in the world. Back then, he replaced his father Geng Junyong to lead a large army to capture Guangde and attack Changxing. He defeated Zhang Shicheng's general Zhao Dahu, seized more than 300 warships, captured the enemy defender Li Fu'an and others alive, and conquered Changxing. Changxing is located at the mouth of Taihu Lake, connecting Guangde on land, bordering Xuan, She and other places, and is the gateway to Jiang and Zhejiang. The Ming Taizu was very happy to get Changxing. He renamed Changxing to Chang'an Prefecture, and established the Yongxingyi Marshal's Mansion here, appointing Geng Bingwen as the Marshal of the General and guarding Chang'an Prefecture.

Later, Zhang Shicheng's left chief Pan Yuanming and Marshal Yan Zaixing led his troops to invade Chang'an Prefecture. Geng Bingwen fought back and defeated the enemy. After that, Zhang Shicheng sent Situ Li Bosheng again to lead 100,000 troops to fight to Chang'an Prefecture in water and land. At that time, there were only 7,000 guards in the city. Zhu Yuanzhang was very anxious and quickly ordered Chen De, Hua Gao, and Fei Ju to come to reinforce. Unexpectedly, Li Bosheng sneaked into the reinforcements camp in the dark night, and several generals collapsed. Geng Bingwen defended the city, and the enemy attacked very fiercely. Bingwen used different methods to defend. The war lasted for more than a month, and during this period, Geng Bingwen did not dare to slack off. Chang Yuchun

He led his troops to reinforce again. Li Bosheng abandoned the camp and fled. Geng Bingwen took advantage of the victory and chased more than 5,000 Li Bosheng's army. This battle was aborted. He held Changxing for about ten years. He fought with few enemies and fought more than ten wars, making Zhang Shicheng's goal unable to succeed. The army conquered Zhang Shicheng, and Geng Bingwen's troops conquered Huzhou and besieged Pingjiang. After pacifying Wu, Geng Bingwen was promoted to the assistant chief of the Grand Governor's Office. He had a great understanding of the way to defend the city. When he said this, he could see that the first defender in later generations also saw that Zhang Shicheng was a strong bow.

Xiao Yun sighed for no reason and said, "Is there any movement in Zhang Shicheng?"
