Zhang Yingyuan's 50,000 Zuo Family Army had long been ambushing near Wuchang City. It was the full moon night and the visibility was relatively high. Most of the soldiers at that time had night blindness due to vitamin A deficiency. Although the moonless night was more hidden, they could not see anything, so they could only marches on a torch, which was easier to be exposed.

Fifty thousand soldiers from the Zuo family were entrusted with horses, and quietly approached Wangze Gate, Wuchang City.

The city tower was dark and there were only a few lanterns flashing. At this moment, the people at the top of the city seemed to have seen someone coming from the city. A red lantern was hung, and someone was holding a black cloth to block the red lanterns and let go. Looking down from the city, the red lanterns at the top of the city flashed three times.

"I succeeded at the top of the city." said one of Zhang Yingyuan's generals.

"Reply." Zhang Yingyuan made a gesture.

An officer from the Zuo family army under the city opened the tinder pot hanging around the neck of his personal soldiers, lit a torch, and shook it three times at the top of the city.

The sound of winches pulling sounded on the Wangze Gate Tower, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered. At the same time, the city gate was also opened, and the black city gate hole appeared in front of the Zuo family army.

"Enter the city!" Zhang Yingyuan drew his sword and pointed forward.

"Sir, be careful of fraud!" a general dissuaded, "I'd better let General Mo take people in first."

"Okay, be careful." Zhang Yingyuan nodded. In the original time and space, Zhang Yingyuan was a hero of the Ming Dynasty who "expelled Zhang Xianzhong into Shu and recovered Huguang". Later, he followed Zuo Menggeng to the Qing Dynasty to suppress Jin Shenghuan, who was once a brother of robes, and fought from Jiangnan to Fujian, becoming a loyal and kind person in the Qing Dynasty.

I have to say that the thief was still lucky. Zhang Shiwen had arranged a plan to shoot him in the urn, but he hid it.

Zhang Yingyuan's general led three thousand elite Zuo family officers and soldiers to rush across the suspension bridge and pour into the city.

Wuchang is the capital of Huguang, a big city. The area of ​​the urn is quite large. All three thousand Zuo family troops rushed into the urn. The Zuo family generals rushed through the urn and arrived in front of the inner city. They found that the gate of the inner city was closed! All the elite troops of the urn were blocked in the urn and could not move forward or retreat.

A loud bang came from behind, and the thousand-jin gate on the city gate fell, completely locking the three thousand Zuo family troops in the urn. At this moment, countless torches suddenly lit up on the walls on both sides, and countless heads emerged from the walls.

"I've been trapped!" the general shouted.

"Let me go!" Zhang Shiwen pointed at the treasure knife in his hand towards the trapped Zuo Family Army in the urn.

One thousand crossbowmen and two thousand bird gunmen shot in a row. The guns and arrows shot into the city like rain. Zhang Yingyuan's general had long been targeted by many crossbowmen and bird gunmen. Before Zhang Shiwen could finish his speech, the general of the Zuo family army was hit by more than ten projectiles and more than ten arrows, and he screamed and fell from the horse's back.

The arrows and bullets shot down like a storm, and more than half of the more than 3,000 Zuo family troops trapped in the urn city were killed or injured. Anyway, the more than 1,000 Zuo family troops could not climb up. The bird gunman and crossbowmen reloaded in an orderly manner. The crossbow machine loaded quickly, and soon another round of arrows woven into a overwhelming net and spread it into the urn city. Then another row of guns sounded, and the bullets fell like rain.

When Zhang Yingyuan, outside the city, saw that the city gate's Qianjin Gate fell, he knew that something was wrong. He shouted: "No! You've fallen into a trap! Hurry up, rush over the suspension bridge and smash the Qianjin Gate!"

A large group of soldiers from the Zuo family rushed up to dispatch, and the defenders at the city were unable to lift the suspension bridge.

At this moment, all the torches on the city wall were lit up, illuminating the entire city wall.

"Boom boom" Several cannons sounded on the city wall, and the tiger squat cannons on the top of the city made a roar. Under the heavy rain-like shot, bloody flowers were sprayed out from the crowd of soldiers of the Zuo family crowded on the suspension bridge, and screams sounded. The left soldiers who were shot fell into the moat one after another, causing a burst of water.

Ten thousand enemies were cast on the top of the city and exploded among the Zuo family's soldiers. The caltrops flew across the crowded crowd, and a large area exploded.

Bird gun projectiles and crossbow arrows shot down one after another, shooting countless soldiers of the Zuo family crowded on the suspension bridge.

At this time, the Zuo family army that entered the urn city had been wiped out, and almost all of the more than 3,000 people were shot to death in the urn city. As for the pile of corpses, there might be living wounded soldiers, they would not live long. Whether they were injured by crossbow arrows or bird guns, they would eventually die in pain.

After killing all the turtles in the jar in the urn, a thousand crossbowmen and two thousand bird gunmen also rushed to the city gate tower and fired fiercely at the Zuo family army below the city.

Seeing that the plan to steal the city had completely failed, countless people were shot and killed outside the city. The 50,000 of them did not carry siege weapons, and it was too late to temporarily build siege weapons. What's more, it was impossible to capture Wuchang City, where 50,000 people were stationed. Zhang Yingyuan could only order helplessly: "withdraw."

The East Lake Fort, Yandong Fort and Panjiawu Fort to the east also waited for more than 10,000 reinforcements led by Li Guodong before dark.

Zuo Liangyu did not dare to attack the military households anymore, so he had no choice but to give up, shrink his troops, set up camps, and confronted Li Guodong's army, who were all cavalry.

The Zuo family army camp was brightly lit, and Zuo Liangyu was sitting in the central army tent. Without radio, he had no idea that Zhang Yingyuan's plan to steal the city had completely failed. Now that Huangzhou City has been captured by Li Guodong, his old nest has been taken away. The only hope is that Zhang Yingyuan can take over Wuchang City, so he will have a chance to make a comeback, otherwise he will lose all his underwear.

"My father, I hope General Zhang has succeeded." Zuo Menggeng stepped forward and comforted Zuo Liangyu who was drinking.

Zuo Liangyu shook his head and sighed: "Why do I always feel that I have a very bad premonition? Li Ergou is full of tricks, but I'm afraid General Zhang will fail too."

In the Zuo family camp, the morale of the Zuo family generals was depressed, and sighs were heard one after another. Although Zuo Liangyu had ordered the blockade of the news of the fall of Huangzhou, the news was still spread. When they learned that their lairs had been taken away, especially those officers with family members. When they learned that their family members were in the hands of the Jinyang army, how could they still have the intention to fight?

In sharp contrast to the Zuo family army, there are three military offices in Li Guodong. The military offices are decorated with lights and each military household has a smile on their faces. They have persisted for a whole day without silence. Bo Ye finally brought people to save him! Although many brothers were sacrificed, the enemy suffered greater losses. When Bo Ye's elite army comes, he and his family can survive.

However, in the military office, many women and children were crying. That was because their men were killed and they finally found a new man to support their family. However, after a few days of good days, the man died again. How could these women not be sad?

Influenced by women and children, the morale of the military households in a good mood was also depressed. Fortunately, Li Guodong's own more than 10,000 elite cavalry were not affected at all. His Jinyang army and these military households were on the surface, with two systems. The Jinyang army was a recruiting system, and the military households were a military household system, which had nothing to do with each other.

"Brother, after all, they are also our brothers, and they are pitiful. Not long after they got married, they left the woman and the child and went by themselves." Zhang Wei said.
