Chapter 72: Capture the city
To run a force seriously, you need the right time, place and people, countless wealth, manpower, strategy, and good luck to succeed.
However, Jiang Zhao is like a tiger running to the kingdom of rabbits in the world of embroidered spring knives, even if it doesn't take too much planning and luck, he can fight a piece of territory, and even dominate.
After reorganizing the army, Jiang Zhao immediately raised troops to attack Tianjin. This city, which was an important barrier of the Jingshi, occupied a very important position in the defense of the entire Northern Zhili at this time. It can be said that as long as Jiang Zhao leveled Tianjin, sweeping Beizhili would be just around the corner.
Jiang Zhao also plans to temporarily leave the world of embroidered spring knives after conquering Tianjin, and wait for the next time he will bring back a batch of basic development technologies from the real world, and build the Jingshi area according to his needs.
this day.
Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to the city of Tianjin and set up camp ten miles outside the city.
……
Head of the city.
A general put down his monoculars - this kind of Western import, although there are not many of them now. But as a port city, the military still has a few for high-ranking generals.
"This is the army of demons?" He asked, frowning.
"yes. Some ministers of the DPRK and China sent news back from the capital...... This demon has to drink human blood every day for a living. The body is like an iron bone, the sword is difficult to hurt, the strength is infinite, and the speed is like the wind. Anyway, it's not a normal person. A young man dressed as a scholar said slowly.
However, his words were obviously not listened to by the Tianjin general, only to see the other party snort coldly: "Hmph! Devil? That's just a rumor from a foolish villager! Didn't those Francos in the past be called red-haired ghosts by the ignorant people? In fact, it's just a merchant from the West thousands of miles away! I think this demon is fake! I'm afraid it's a cult demon again, it's true to rebel with some tricks like runes and golden bodies! ”。
"Since you think so, General, then so be it. Anyway, I had to leave. Seeing that he did not listen to his persuasion, the scholar smiled and turned around and went down to the city.
At this time, an adjutant general next to him walked up and said, "General, this Zhang Hui's family is engaged in a mountain goods business. He often bought iron and smuggled horns and hides to Liaodong. I'm afraid it can't be involved with those eastern captives in Liaodong, ......."
"Dongyu?" The general seemed to mumble to himself, and then touched the armor in the cotton armor of his abdomen: "There is no evidence, what can you do with him?" ”。
"We can arrest him first, and then ......" The adjutant general's words were interrupted by the general: "Then, immediately, the civil officials in Tianjin City, who are bigger than you and me, will immediately rush out and bite me like a mad dog!" If the court in the capital is not punished, immediately those civil officials in the court who have business ties with this family will collect a lot of evidence of your and me's crimes! In the end, Zhang Hui was not only acquitted, but you and I are afraid that we will be stripped of our official positions and go back to our hometown to farm! ”。
"Do you think you're the only one in the world? Do you think that Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the princes of the DPRK and China are all deaf and blind? There are many people who know. It's just that no one wants to pierce it, wake up! The Eastern Captives are not a problem for those princes of the imperial court, perhaps, many people wish that the Eastern Captives invaded every year, so that they would have the opportunity to salvage a sum of money in the military salary! After the general said this, his face turned blue.
Ultimately.
He sighed imperceptibly, turned around and walked towards the city tower: "Tell the following to prepare the stones, gold juice, and firewood for guarding the city." ”。
However.
In the next second, a sudden exclamation around him stopped him. Instinctively looking back at the eyes of the soldiers at the head of the city, this veteran general in the Ming army saw a scene for the first time in his life......
Ten miles away.
A figure rushed towards the direction of the castle tower at a great speed.
This person is Jiang Zhao.
At the speed of a vampire, although the length of ten miles could not be considered short, under the rapid gallop, Jiang Zhao was like a motorcycle with full horsepower, speeding over this distance, which was a very long distance for ordinary people.
But the bow and arrow flew over 100 meters in only about a second.
The speed of the Twilight Clan is even faster than that of ordinary bows and arrows, so it only takes about a minute to cross this distance at Jiang Zhao's full speed.
After staring at the fast anomaly figure for three seconds, the battle-hardened veteran immediately reacted - this is probably the rumored demon!
Just now regarded this matter as a false rumor of the village husband and foolish people, it is tantamount to being slapped in the face!
'How is that possible?!' ’。
He rushed to the edge of the city, holding on to the two battlements to keep an eye on the rapidly approaching figure, and his heart was shocked.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he likes to hunt.
It made him very clear about what the speed of the monster in front of him meant! This terrifying speed is no longer just beyond humans. It was even faster than all the rabbits, deer, horses, and even birds he had hunted and encountered!
Then he realized that this man was clearly coming for himself.
At this moment, he finally believed that the army of King Qin, which had been defeated before, had really collapsed after the entire command layer had been killed!
"Quick! Musketeers! Stop him! Although he was not sure that the other party would be able to rush to the towering wall, at this moment he had never felt a sense of fear for the combat power of a person or a creature.
Jiang Zhao didn't leave much time for his opponent.
More than a minute.
Although the most elite musketeers at the head of the city had already loaded their ammunition, Jiang Zhao was already about a hundred meters away at this time, and he had already rushed into a distance of seventy or eighty meters with another step.
"Shoot! Shoot! The officers at the head of the city drew their swords in fear.
In the face of the monster that had never been seen before, the musketeers of the Ming army in Tianjin lay on the head of the city and opened fire in a mess before they could even fire a salvo.
Cracking sound......
The messy platoon of guns went towards Jiang Zhaoda.
People were able to see the dirt rising from the ground.
However.
The terrifying figure only paused, but the speed did not decrease but increased! Quickly cross the remaining distance of a few dozen meters and leap suddenly under the city!
Whoosh!
A black shadow rushed directly to the city with the inertia and bouncing force of running.
"Kill!".
"Kill him!".
Seven or eight spears and swords slashed at them.
Jiang Zhaoren was still in the air, his arms were twisted, but he broke and shattered these spears and waist knives that had stabbed him. He had already seen the location of the main general, and he didn't care about the others, and rushed straight to the Tianjin guard.
Despite the desperate efforts of the surrounding soldiers to save.
But under the absolute power gap, where can these people stop Jiang Zhao?
Under the dual effect of the golden bell jar and the vampire constitution, the knife and gun either collapsed or simply broke. There was no enemy around, and Jiang Zhao rushed in front of the main general in a few steps.
Poof!
A human head was directly torn off by Jiang Zhao.
At this point, where do the surrounding soldiers dare to fight? Where is the slightest will to fight? I don't know who started to drop their weapons and fled, and the army of the entire castle tower was unexpectedly defeated in an instant.
