Please ask me to be the emperor

When Zhang Shun saw Ma Yingniang running away, he subconsciously looked back at the women's camp where she was, and heard bursts of women's laughter coming from inside. Zhang Shun shook his head helplessly, smiled and went back to his Chinese army tent.

That night, all Zhang Shun's men went to Zhang Shun's tent to meet up as usual. They saw that the lights in the tent were dim and they could not see their fingers. Chen Jindou was old and his eyesight was not very good. He almost tripped over and couldn't help complaining: "My lord, I will take care of all the military equipment and property. I know our family's assets best. Why are you so stingy that you can't even part with lamp oil? I'm so old and frail." , if I fall and break my leg bone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve my lord.”

"Old Chen, it's not just that I'm stingy, it's just that I'm so shy in the tent that it's hard to see!" Zhang Shun said with a bitter smile.

"Why is this?" Chen Jindou asked as he fumbled to pick up the wick to make the light brighter, but suddenly he heard the big guy's uncontrollable laughter. Chen Jindou looked up and couldn't help but laugh.

But Zhang Shun's tent was full of black palm prints, which looked so densely packed that it made people's skin crawl. It turns out that Zhang Shun entered the tent that day, and Ji Dan stupidly used his ink-stained palms to help Zhang Shun clean up the tent, which led to such a tragedy.

Zhang Shun was so angry that he kicked him several times, but the man was thick-skinned and could only giggle, so Zhang Shun was helpless. Zhang Shun finally calmed down everyone's laughter, and suddenly he couldn't help but laugh together. He simply waved his hand and said: "Laugh if you want, everyone has laughed enough, let's discuss business again!"

The result made everyone laugh, but they couldn't laugh anymore. Zhang Shun cursed secretly: Bitch! Then he coughed and got to the point. He said: "The second boss, Zijin Liang, has informed me that we need our cooperation to attack the city tomorrow. What do you think?"

As soon as Chen Jindou sat down and calmed down his smile, he replied casually: "My lord, didn't you say before that this 'Purple Golden Liang' has no intention here, does it seem to have other intentions? Let's just deal with it."

"Coping is coping, and there should be some benefits to coping!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"Ah? What good can this do?" Chen Jingzhi asked honestly, "Why should we exchange some horses, armor, and weapons for artillery? How can the 'Purple Gold Liang' be bleeding?"

"Jingzhi is too young. Gold and silver silk is a benefit, and weapons and armor are also a benefit. Isn't experience in the art of war a benefit?" Zhang Shun said with a smile, "If I suffer a loss this time, wouldn't it mean that I have been betrayed by my mosquito legs?" In the name of "Split Meat"?"

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they heard this. This was their private name, and they didn't know how it got to Zhang Shun's ears. On the contrary, Zhang Shenyan, who said nothing, glanced at Zhang Shun, and her vigilance against him rose to the extreme. It's a pity that he still has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't know whether his son Lu Xuan has contacted Governor Song Tongyin. Governor Song could easily pacify the White Lotus Sect in Xu Pei's land in the early years, and it should be easy to deal with rebellious officials and traitors like Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun didn't know what everyone under his command was thinking, so he said in detail: "The last time we attacked the city, we attacked Linjiazhuang. It was just a small mountain villa, so it would be so difficult to attack it. If it weren't for my second brother Xiao to climb the Linjia Cliff and attack Linjiazhuang at night. , I’m afraid we are still fighting against Linjiazhuang Wengcheng.”

"Now the 'Purple Golden Liang' attacks Dou Village. The village is steeper and more solid than the Lin Family Village. It's a good time to observe and see how others attack the city. This will save us from encountering similar situations in the future and incurring many lives."

When everyone heard this, they all said yes. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhang Shun continued: "Zhang Wuhao is now in charge of artillery matters. When we attack the city tomorrow, I plan to have the gunners test fire at the east gate to contain the Douzhuang guards. What do you think?"

Naturally, everyone had no opinions, so they discussed a few more points and then went back to camp to rest without mentioning it.

On the second day, "Zijinliang" made all preparations and prepared to attack the west gate of Douzhuang with all its strength, so they invited Zhang Shun to "observe the ceremony." Zhang Shun knew very well that the so-called "viewing the ceremony" was actually to show off his power to himself, to show his power as the leader of the "Purple Golden Liang" alliance. Zhang Shun didn't care much about "Purple Golden Liang"'s little thoughts, so he took Wukong and Ji Dan to attend early the next morning.

As a result, the position of Douzhuang was very disgusting. Other positions were not conducive to launching an attack. The only convenient location for attacking was the west gate, which happened to be facing the east when attacking. The sun rises in the east and shines right on the attacking side. "Purple Golden Liang" attacked many times and suffered losses. Naturally, it knew to avoid this time and wait until midnight before launching the attack.

It's a pity that Zhang Shun didn't know this situation, so he could only run to the camp early and have breakfast. Most of the people in the "Zijinliang" camp were from Shaanxi, so they naturally didn't look kindly on Zhang Shun, a new Henanese who joined the camp. I don't know where they heard about Zhang Shun's failure when he first started making cannons.

They gathered in small groups and chatted while eating at a big old bowl. When they saw Zhang, they laughed and said, "Baby, Optimus Prime, I heard that you set off a big firecracker. I'm watching you." Instead of calling him ‘Optimus Prime’, why don’t you just call him ‘Megatron’?”

At best, they meant it in a petty way. They called Zhang Shun "little kid", but they also meant it in a disdainful way. Zhang Shun, who is not willing to suffer any loss, smiled and said: "Old man, don't be happy. I will set off a big firecracker, but it will be a celebration. If you set off a big firecracker during the attack on the city today, you don't know how many people will die." !”

In this era, it was common for cannons to explode, and it was a taboo in the military. Being cursed by Zhang Shun, the angry people began to curse one after another. Zhang Shun laughed and took Wukong and Ji Dan to see "Purple Golden Liang".

By mid-afternoon, "Purple Golden Liang" finally ordered the attack. The subordinates of "Purple Gold Liang" used small flags as units, pushing the pointed wooden donkeys slowly towards the west gate of Douzhuang. The west gate of Douzhuang is not actually one gate, but is divided into two small gates on the left and right for the convenience of passage and defense. The subordinates of the "Purple Golden Liang" were also divided into two groups, with a total of seven or eight pointed wooden donkeys attacking.

This pointed-headed wooden donkey has four wheels at the bottom, and the top is made of wood to build a herringbone structure. It is simple and strong, and can also reduce the damage to the pointed-headed wooden donkey from stones and wood thrown on the city. It is very exquisite. In order to deal with Dou Zhuang's sharp firearms, "Purple Gold Liang" specially covered the pointed wooden donkey with cowhide, cotton armor and soil. It was impervious to water and fire and difficult to break through with shotguns.

Sure enough, during the operation "Pointed Wooden Donkey", Douzhuang City used French machine guns, imitation Western cannons, quick guns, and three-eye guns to fire. Either the shot misses, or it fails to break through the defense of the pointed wooden donkey.

"Purple Golden Liang" proudly said to Zhang Shun, Qixu Taoist and Han Tingxian: "What do you think of this thing? Can the gate of Douzhuang be breached in one fell swoop?"

Thanks to Xiaobaicai for feeding the elephant, thank you!
