Chapter 42 The Profiteer Who Can't Be Refused
When Wu Jie, who was the farthest away, arrived with his 8,000 subordinates over the mountains and mountains, the army in Yun Zheng's hands finally reached the limit of 42,000 people.
The horses galloped past the army and roared, "My commander is you!" My name is Yun Zheng! Remember this face of mine, before the Tangut people were defeated, if I stepped over Chen Cang and retreated, no matter who it was! You can cut off my head!
And so on, if a general retreats, I will cut off his head with my own hands! No mercy!
The enemy on the opposite side is a group of man-eating beasts, and we are mortal enemies, there is no peace talks, no concessions, no surrender, only by defeating them can we return to our hometown, only by defeating them can we return to Tokyo to accept the congratulations of the whole world, at that time, you will get the field, you will be rewarded, you will glorify your ancestors.
If we lose, we'll all die here! ”
Li Chang, Su Xun, Jiang Zhe, Wu Jie, Peng Jiu, Liang Ji, Hou Dayi, and Sun Dazhi all bowed their hands and said: "Obey the orders of the general, Western Xia is undefeated, and we will not enter Chencang Road!" ”
"Obey the orders of the general, Western Xia is undefeated, and we will not enter Chencang Road!" The boys' soldiers clasped their fists together on their horses and shouted in unison.
"Obey the orders of the general, Western Xia is undefeated, and we will not enter Chencang Road!" A roar of more than 42,000 people followed in unison, forming a torrent that echoed through the valley.
Zeng Gongliang, who was watching the ceremony, walked up to Yun Zheng with a battle flag in his hand and said: "General, this cloud-shaped banner is the blood of His Majesty, and the queen mother embroidered it herself. ”
Han Niu stepped forward to take the flag. The old cloud-shaped handsome flag on the flagpole was removed, replaced with this new flag, and the whole flag was unfolded with a wave of the whole flag. The banner with red letters on a black background is particularly eye-catching under the blue sky and white clouds.
Yun Zheng clasped his fists on the horse and said to Zeng Gongliang: "Zeng Gong, please return to Your Majesty, and wait for this banner to be stained with enemy blood." I will rededicate him to His Majesty and will never fail to live up to His Majesty's expectations. ”
When Zeng Gongliang returned the salute, Yun Zheng had already patted his horse and walked to the front of the team, and with a wave of the horsewhip, the army began to advance towards the pre-set battlefield. The sons of the Young Army howled like wolves, grabbed Yun Zheng's horse's head, and marched towards Qinzhou with smoke and dust.
Su Xun didn't leave, he stood on the hillside and watched the army leave, and it was not until the baggage troops who finally left the camp also embarked on the journey that he invited Zeng Gongliang to sit in the military tent for a while.
After Zeng Gongliang entered the military tent, Cui Da appeared on the hillside with a round belly and muttered to himself: "What Your Majesty's hard work." It would be good to have a drop of the emperor's blood on that flag, if the silk threads were all dyed with blood, the word should be black to ......, Yun Zheng was right, the glory given by the superior was really so pale and weak! ”
opened his mouth and spit out the saliva with sand and dust in his mouth, and went to Chen Cangzhai with his hands behind his back, in the final analysis, the supply of the army needs to be done by himself.
As the army gradually entered Qinzhou, the last people in Qinzhou also began to retreat, and these strong men withdrew from Qinzhou after completing various strange fortifications, and waited for Yun Zheng to take over the city defense of Qinzhou. The entire Qinzhou finally turned into a huge battlefield according to Yun Zheng's request.
Except for Qinwangchuan, there was silence on the land of Qinzhou, and countless walled houses were full of birds that came to feed. They sang to their heart's content in these worlds that belonged to people in the past.
Yun Zheng sat in the city of Qinzhou happily and happily soaked hot pot with his own cadres, Lu Qingqing brought Yun Zheng a lot of bacon from distant Tokyo, as long as this thing is boiled in a soup pot, the taste is better than ham.
It's that there are fewer green vegetables, and the people have destroyed the vegetable field when they leave, and it tastes good with several kinds of wild vegetables in the hot pot, but the wild vegetables grow to the end of summer, and they are inevitably old.
Rigor actually does not belong to Yun Zheng, Zeng Gongliang will not rest assured if he doesn't say those words when he is in Chen Cang. The emperor will not be reassured, and now he has entered a tight war zone that has been blocked by himself. You don't have to do all that stuff.
The sentry of the Young Army had quietly crossed Qin Wangchuan and was searching for the back of the unconcealed Pang. I don't know if I don't know the follow-up means of hiding Pang, Yun Zheng will definitely not march to Qin Wangchuan lightly. Yun Zheng also wanted to know where Dong Yu and Qingyi had run to the ghost Zhang Ping, and this was definitely not the choice of those two bold people, even if they wanted to watch the tiger fight, they needed to be closer to see it clearly, if they needed to snatch some leftovers, of course those who were close would take advantage of it.
Therefore, Yun Zheng dared to assert that those two guys were not in Qingtang at all, but hid in an unknown place with the army, and looked gloomily at Wuzang Pang and Fu Bi, who were fighting each other.
The battle between the two armies has entered the twenty-fourth day, and Dingyuan Village is still firmly grasped by Jia Kui, he found that since the high-powered gunpowder shells entered his barracks, the war has become simple in an instant, and after the dense enemy army is thrown out with one hundred and ten gunpowder bullets, those people will be immediately torn to pieces by the explosions one after another.
The enemy in the distance will use trebuchets to bombard with gunpowder bullets, and the enemies in the vicinity can easily kill a large number of people by throwing gunpowder bullets with their hands, the most ridiculous thing is that the Tangut people are carrying the mound of earth, preparing to build a platform as high as the wall, and then use the god arm crossbow to suppress the Song army on the wall, the method is right, but unfortunately whenever the god arm crossbowmen are covered with the top of the mountain, dense gunpowder shells will fall from the sky, and those crossbowmen who have nowhere to hide will die in an instant, and the gunpowder will tear up all the fortifications on the top of the mountain by the way while killing and injuring the crossbowmen.
So I didn't hide it, Pang was sending troops to dig tunnels......
Jia Kui had already figured out a way to deal with the enemy's tunneling, and he had dug a wide trench horizontally in front of the wall...... No matter how many people come out of the tunnel, they will be buried in the trench by gunpowder bullets.
"General, you have used sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty gunpowder shells, this is the list, please sign it, General." A roe deer appeared at the head of the walled city wearing thick heavy armor, holding an account book and asking Jia Kui to sign his name.
Jia Kui signed his name on the account book and asked, "Mouse Cui, do you still have this thing, send more here, Lao Tzu wants as many as he wants." ”
Rat Cui approached Jia Kui and said flatteringly: "General, this thing is easy to use, right?" If you like it, you must use it more, the villain came to Qin Wangchuan with a team of craftsmen, and is supervising this thing day and night, gunpowder is from the imperial court, this is not your money, but the iron shell is produced by my eagle's nest, this thing costs two hundred wen each, that is, the price of a kitchen knife, a kitchen knife to kill a Xixia ghost You won't feel distressed, right? ”
Jia Kui laughed and said: "Lao Tzu is only responsible for signing, if Lao Tzu dies in battle, who will you ask for money?" ”
Rat Cui smiled: "The Ministry of Industry has placed an order for 100,000 iron shells, which is enough for you to use for a while, and the villain is only responsible for supplying you with enough gunpowder bullets." ”
"So Lao Tzu is using all the things of the imperial court now?"
"That's right, that team of craftsmen was brought by the general Zeng Gongliang, they are craftsmen who specialize in equipping you with gunpowder bullets, the villain is going to be beheaded when he serves gunpowder, and the villain is a man who sells iron shells."
Jia Kui took an iron shell and threw it hard on the ground, the iron shell suddenly shattered into a pile of broken iron pieces, he picked up a piece of broken iron and glanced at it and said: "Lao Tzu's family lives on iron, this kind of bad iron is a mud stove, a clay pipe, a leather bellows, and then the iron ore and firewood can be calcined together to get it, and then the bad iron is burned and poured into the model to get this thing, and the bad iron is made into a kitchen knife?" You're going to deceive fools, two hundred wen a piece, God, are the heads of the people in the Ministry of Industry full of mush? ”
Mouse Cui Zhengse said: "We don't use charcoal, we use charcoal, there are a lot of things to pay attention to......
"Get out of ......" Jia Kui was furious, and kicked away the wrapped turtle-like mouse Cui with one kick.
This is the reinforcements sent by Yun Zheng, at the beginning, Jia Kui's heart was full of grief and indignation, even if Yun Zheng didn't send people, it was much better than sending some businessmen who came to suck the blood of the soldiers, he almost wanted to leave Dingyuan Village with a knife to find Yun Zheng desperately. I'd rather be a deserter than die in Dingyuan Village in such a humiliating way.
As a result, he found that these merchants had a lot of experience in the battlefield, and they could always give him the most correct construction, and of course, they would also sell the goods they brought to the army by the way, such as this rat Cui, who specializes in selling iron shells, and the slippery doctor who specializes in selling medicines and treating wounded soldiers by the way, iron shells become gunpowder bullets after adding gunpowder, and Jia Kui himself must admit that making gunpowder bullets and bad iron is indeed the best material. The effect of the gold sore medicine sold by the doctor with the dead man's face is indeed extraordinary, the hemostatic effect is amazing, the most unbearable thing for Jia Kui is that this guy's medical skills are indeed superb, he saw with his own eyes a sergeant whose intestines fell out, after he promised to pay this guy the same money, he washed the sergeant's intestines in a potion, and then put it back, and finally sewed it with a strange thread, inserted a reed pipe, and the soldier fell asleep, no matter from which point of view, he did not look like a person who was about to die.
Jia Kui moved his fingers and calculated that he already owed the damn doctor more than 300 yuan......
It's funny to say, Jia Kui suddenly found that his chances of leaving Qin Wangchuan alive had increased greatly, not only did he think so, but his subordinates also thought so, so the tense atmosphere on the military village seemed to slowly disappear, and every soldier seemed more confident when fighting, and his confidence in holding Qin Wangchuan became more and more sufficient, after all, it was becoming easier and easier to defeat the enemy army.
