The Western Army general who was looking at the walls at the top of Wuchang City suddenly shouted and reminded his subordinates, "The person who cut his head and fired fire again!"

"Secret! Hidden!"

The city was filled with exclamation, and the Western soldiers who were carrying sandbags and repairing the city walls hurriedly threw them down and squatted on the ground.

At this time, two hundred heavy artillery fired in sequence outside the city, and a spectacular scene appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

The soldiers of the Western Army on the city wall squatted down one after another, and smoke from the cannon formation outside the city rose. Iron bombs flashed past and directly hit the Wuchang city wall. The loud noises came with the sound of peeling bricks and stones.

The Liang army artillery outside the city was bombarded like money, and each artillery was worth several taels of silver, but the Liang army just didn't feel sorry for it.

"Damn it! The gun barrel is scrapped, it depends on what else you have to use to bomb!" The Western Army squatted on the top of the city and cursed.

At this moment, no shells hit the wall, and the huge power directly cut off the wall. Before the Western Army, who was hiding behind, was hit by the shells wrapped in gravel, and the entire head was flattened and the brain ruptured.

The whistling shells hit the city wall from time to time, causing the city wall to tremble, bricks and stones to collapse, the shells fell into the moat, splashing water columns that soared into the sky.

The soldiers of the Western Army at the top of Wuchang City were like rice fields blowing by strong wind. As the shells hit, the soldiers were undulating like rice waves.

This is not because the soldiers of the Western Army are afraid of death. In fact, after being bombarded by the Liang army for more than a month, the Western Army had been angry and were ready to attack the Liang army head-on, but Gao Huan just didn't launch an attack and was specifically playing some evil ways.

Facing the bombardment of cannons, even a powerful general with ten thousand enemies would not be able to stand up and stand up with his chest to face the bombardment of cannons.

At this time, under the continuous shelling, the city tower in Wuchang East City had been smashed by cannons, and bricks and tiles fell straight down.

After Sun Kewang was protected by his generals, he stood up from time to time in the gap between shelling and observing the city heads after the Liang army's shelling, and saw two hundred artillery pieces of Liang army, almost without stopping, bombarding Wuchang City one after another.

This made Sun Kewang grit his teeth and his teeth squeaked, "When the Battle of Wuchang is over, the Lone King will definitely build more artillery, so that Gao Huan and his children can taste the feeling of being bombarded."

The generals of the Western Army also cursed, "Gao Huan, the city walls collapsed, and he still slaps him, come and fight to the death!"

~~~~~~~

On the eastern suburbs of Wuchang City, Liang army warships were moving on the river, while Liang army soldiers continued to dig tunnels on the ground.

Not long ago, Liang Jun and civilians dug tunnels. When they arrived at the moat, the tunnel collapsed due to insufficient experience. The moat water poured into the tunnels, forming a whirlpool on the river surface, allowing the Western Army to discover it.

After that, Gao Huan stopped hiding the tunnels openly, and all the siege towers, chariots, cave houses, flying bridges, collisions, trench bridges and other equipment that were preparing to siege were all in place.

Now that the Wuchang city wall was bombarded with cannons, the Liang army was ready to attack, but Gao Huan never ordered an attack.

In the Liang army's tent, Gao Huan stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, looking at the map of Liang State, showing a look of worry.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, the Liang army and the Western army were indeed in a stalemate. Gao Huan and Zhang Xianzhong were waiting for the joining of external forces to break the balance of the battle situation.

Recently, Gao Huan received a report from Nanjing. Yuan Shizhong suffered heavy losses under the encirclement of Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi. With Gao Mingheng's support, he broke out and crossed the Yellow River south.

Most of Sun Chuanting's mountain villages in Taihang Mountains were also lost. Gao Huan had ordered Wang Jingde and Gao Jie to try to pick up Sun Chuanting across the river.

In this way, the two nails that Gao Huan planted in Shandong and Hebei were removed by the Qing Dynasty and the Beiming Dynasty.

Now that the Liang army in Taihang and Yimeng are less restrained, the Qing army and the Northern Ming army will definitely take advantage of the Liang army's main force in Huguang to invade the Liang Kingdom in large numbers.

Gao Huan had about 200,000 troops defending the Northern Line, but the Qing army plus the Northern Ming army had a 350,000 troops, including 120,000 elite Eight Banners soldiers, which put Gao Huan under great pressure now.

At this time, Gao Huan was in a state of dismay, Hao Yaoqi suddenly came outside the tent and asked the guards, "Is the king in the tent?"

"Report to the Governor, the King is in the tent!" The guard nodded quickly.

When Hao Yaoqi heard the words, he picked up the tent and entered, and said anxiously: "King. Li Zicheng has sent troops!"

When Gao Huan heard the report, he immediately turned around, his surprise was unspeakable, "Where is Li Zicheng sending troops?"

Hao Yaoqi nodded, "We sent troops! Li Zicheng did not personally fight, but Li Guo and Liu Zongmin went to fight."

Li Zicheng did not come, but as long as the Shun Army sent troops, the current stalemate would be broken.

Gao Huan walked to the map, "How many soldiers did Li Guo and Liu Zongmin bring?"

Hao Yaoqi said: "The envoy of the Shun Army said that the army was 200,000, and our scouts had only about 70,000 to 80,000 people."

"Seventy or eighty thousand people?" Gao Huan frowned, "Li Zicheng has declined so badly in recent years. There are a few soldiers and horses in the 70,000 to 80,000. However, as long as the Shun Army sends troops, the time for me to wait will come."

After Gao Huan finished speaking, he immediately ordered: "Come here, send scouts to investigate Zhang Xianzhong's movements, and then summon the generals to discuss matters."

A team of scouts rushed out of the camp and went to Jiayu County to investigate the situation of the Liang army. At the same time, the Liang army's central army began to beat the war drums that gathered together.

The sound of drums "dongdongdongdongdongdong" spread throughout the camp, causing the busy Liang soldiers to stand up and look sideways.

"The king gathers together and war is about to start!"

"Is the final battle finally going to be?"

In Wuchang City, Sun Kewang, who returned to the royal palace to rest, held a handwritten warrant just sent from Jiayu County.

Bai Wenxuan asked, "Your Highness, what does Your Majesty say?"

Zhang Xianzhong had a calm face, "Let the Lone King defend to the death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "dongdongdongdong" war drums came faintly outside the hall. Sun Kewang couldn't help but ask, "What's the sound?"

Bai Wenxuan listened carefully for a while and said black-facedly: "Your Highness, it's Gao Huan who is beating the drums and gathering generals."

Outside the city, after the drums of the Liang army gathering together in the three-way generals, a group of Liang army generals had gathered outside the tent.

At this time, everyone was talking about what was going on. The curtain suddenly opened. Yang Yan came out and said, "Governors, generals, please enter the tent!"

Many generals of Liang army randomly entered the tent, and the chess and card officials first ticked the names. After finding that everyone had arrived, they randomly went to the screen and reported to Gao Huan.

Soon after, Gao Huan, who had already put on a gold-painted fish scale armor and a golden helmet, stepped out and sat down in the handsome position.

"Everyone is sitting!" Gao Huan reached out to signal, and then said straight to the point: "I'm summoning you so urgently to tell you that Li Zicheng has already sent troops to attack Jingzhou at my invitation!"

The many generals who had just sat down in the tent showed joy on their faces and immediately started to talk.

At this time, Gao Huan waved his hand domineeringly, "The Shun Army sent troops, and the time for me to wait for has arrived. I have sent a scout to Jiayu. Now it depends on how Zhang Xianzhong makes a decision. If he chooses to save Jingzhou first, then I will take the opportunity to take Wuchang. If he saves Wuchang first, then I will fight with him under Wuchang City!"
