Chapter 401: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he felt as if he had been poured vinegar into his upper and lower teeth, and his whole mouth was sour and embarrassed, and he wanted to fall to the ground.
Qi Rongxun was in a bad mood at this time, and the sergeant's words just became boiling oil poured on the fire, setting his whole body on fire. I saw Qi Rongxun step in front of the sergeant, grabbed the collar with both hands and picked up the sergeant and scolded:
"The bows and arrows are all new goods that have just been taken out of the arsenal of the capital, how can they be soaked in glue in so many days?"
Qi Rongxun pounced on the sergeant viciously, and actually lifted the sergeant up with one force. The sergeant was held up in the air, unable to breathe, and as he struggled, he said:
"Master Hou spares my life, I'm just here to give orders!"
Qi Rongxun was furious and scolded:
"Herald? Pass your damn order! Do you want to pass it on too? β
Seeing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade Qi Rongxun and said:
"Qi Hou, it's not a demon thief who is here, he must be the truth in the army. The new bow will be boiled after a few days of soaking, let's go back to Beijing after this kind of thing, now you and I are the only people in the army who can be relied on, who would dare to come to ask for help after you beat the herald in a fit of anger? Who would dare to tell the truth? β
Qi Rongxun's big hands have skyrocketed more than three times because of anger and force, and if it weren't for Lan Ziyi's dissuasion, the sergeant would have died today.
After being stopped by Lan Ziyi, Qi Rongxun sighed and threw the sergeant out. The sergeant made a splash after he landed, and Lan Ziyi hurriedly stepped forward to check on his injuries. But before Lan Ziyi could help the person up, another soldier ran over, and the soldier stopped in front of several people, clasped his fists and said:
"Two Hou Ye, the South Gate is in a tight military situation, and there are a lot of bows in the hands of the brothers, so General Zhuhu sent me over to ask Hou Ye to send a few shotgunners to support."
Lan Ziyi bit his lip when he heard this, he helped the soldiers on the ground up, turned his head and said to Qi Rongxun:
"Qi Hou, Gong Kaijiao is by no means an exception, the two camps are now asking for help, we can't help it."
After the second herald came to report, Qi Rongxun also realized the problem, his anger was dissipated by his quality as a general, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's suggestion, Qi Rongxun turned his head and ordered at the gate of the camp:
"The Guards are in front of me, and I will replace all the shotgunners!"
Then Qi Rongxun ordered the sergeants who set fire to the camps on both sides of the road:
"Stop smoking! The fire is burning so hot, do you want to be roasted when you rush into it again? Assign people to the wall to support me, and replace all the shotgunners for me! β
The fire that Lan Ziyi ordered to light in the camp had already stretched far to the south and north, and the demon thieves who turned in from outside the wall could no longer hide under such light, and the wall of fire in front of them also caused a lot of trouble to these demon thieves, they stopped in front of the fire, and could not find a way to pass through for a while.
Lan Ziyi squinted his eyes and cast his gaze behind the smoke and dust, the flames not only stopped the advance of the demon thief, but also illuminated the earth, allowing Lan Ziyi to see the form clearly. There were not as many demon thieves as Lan Ziyi imagined, and the demon thieves who came in over the wall could only barely bypass the officers and soldiers guarding the camp wall, and their strength was not enough to fill the entire wall.
Under Qi Rongxun's fierce reprimand, the shotgunners of the Shenji Battalion quickly withdrew from the wall. Without the fire support of these shotgunners, the Imperial Forest Army on the wall and other soldiers of the Shenji Battalion with short arms could no longer condescendingly stop the attack of the demon thieves, and the officers and soldiers fell into a bitter battle.
Of course, this change will not be missed by Qi Rongxun and Lan Ziyi, who are commanding under the wall, Qi Rongxun grabbed Lan Ziyi and asked in a low voice:
"Wei Hou, we can only fight in close combat if we remove the firearms from the wall, so we won't be able to last long."
Lan Ziyi replied:
"We can't just divide our side. The number of soldiers in our battalion to defend the camp is definitely enough, just now it was just a mistake in dispatch and was exploited by the demon thieves.
The south gate and the east gate sent people to ask for help, but the north gate was the same distance as us but no one came, indicating that the demon thieves on the north gate did not attack the past, so we only used to divide the shotgunners in our hands into three parts, and sent people out at the same time to send an order for each gate to draw crossbowmen to come to support, so that we only need to support the reinforcements from other gates, so we can still withstand this little time. β
Qi Rongxun frowned when he heard this, rolled his eyes and thought about it, he asked:
"But the doors came to borrow shotguns from us because of the bow glue, so what's the use of sending archers over at this time?"
ε °εδΉ says:
"It's just that part of the glue is opened and not the whole glue is opened, and some are better than nothing, and now is not the time to be so careful."
Qi Rongxun nodded in agreement when he heard this, he turned to the shotgunner and ordered:
"You immediately divide into three teams, one team continues to hold out here, and the others follow the two who come over there to give orders to support the other two camps!"
Most of the soldiers who had just been removed from the wall were wearing paints, and during the short break when they were replaced, they were all busy dealing with the wounds on their bodies. But after Qi Rongxun spoke, these shotgunners actually stopped their movements in unison. They looked at Qi Rongxun, and the officer of the Shenji Battalion who took the lead looked at the soldiers beside him, and then said to Qi Rongxun:
"Major General, I have no problem with you asking me to divide my troops to support other places in the battalion, but with such a heavy rain, many of our guns have been wet by the rain just now, and we can't use them."
Qi Rongxun frowned when he heard this, and Lan Ziyi muttered in a low voice:
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the shotgun of the Kung Fu Shenji Battalion would also be wet after such a while."
Qi Rongxun says:
"Firearms are inherently afraid of water, and it's not unimaginable to get wet."
After beating Lan Ziyi, Qi Rongxun immediately ordered in a loud voice:
"Raise your hand if you have a problem with the gun!"
A third of the people in the Shenji camp raised their hands,
Qi Rongxun asked again:
"Raise your hand when the gunpowder is wet!"
This time, only a few people raised their hands in the army.
Qi Rongxun was overjoyed when he saw this, and then ordered:
"All those who have problems with their guns are to come separately to support the west and south gates, wipe the barrels of your guns dry on the march, put on new canvases, and fight again when you reach the gates. The gunpowder was wet, and the brothers next to them evened out the ammunition.
Let's go! β
When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately began to reline according to Qi Rongxun's order, preparing to march. Lan Ziyi patted Qi Rongxun's shoulder and laughed:
"Okay, you Qi Rongxun, you really have two brushes."
Qi Rongxun smiled:
"How can you lead the troops without these two moments? You tell me how to lead the troops. β
Lan Ziyi also smiled when he heard this, and he ordered the two sergeants who came to pass the word:
"You lead the team back and let Qiu Xiaozhi and my eldest brother send archers to support Ximen, it's best to send swords, shields, spearmen and spearmen together, I am short of people here!"
For Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun, although the war is urgent, the situation is within the control of the two of them. As long as they continue to hold on like this, sooner or later the attack of the demon thieves will be repulsed.
However, God will never let people succeed so easily, this is the case outside Yuzhou City, and the same is true outside Shouchun City, and now outside the capital, Lan Ziyi and they cannot win the favor of God so easily.
Just when Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun were busy directing their subordinates to go out to support, a sound of horses' hooves came from the camp behind them. Lan Ziyi just began to wonder why the cavalry of the Jihu Battalion couldn't be used in the camp at all, why did they send them over, when several Taicheng guards in robes came to everyone on horses and splashed on water.
The city guard who took the lead stopped in front of Lan Ziyi with the big handsome Jingjie in hand, and saw that the shotgunners of the Shenji Battalion had been sorted out, and said with a smile:
"Wei Hou is really loyal and brave, and he has already done things without the orders of the prince and father-in-law."
Lan Ziyi saw that Taichengwei came over at this time, and he was still holding the festival, so he felt that something was wrong, and then he heard Taichengwei spit out the word King De in his mouth, and Lan Ziyi was not good.
Lan Ziyi glanced back at Qi Rongxun, and Qi Rongxun stared at Lan Ziyi with a puzzled face. Tao Zhutu pressed Lan Ziyi's shoulder at this time and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lan Ziyi. Lan Ziyi took a step forward and clenched his fists and said to Taichengwei on the horse:
"This lord, my whole team and Qi Hou are going to support the other camps, and I don't know anything about King De."
The rain was heavy, the smoke and dust were billowing, and the Taicheng guard on the horse hid his face under the hat, and the people in front of the horse could not see the expression on the face of the Taicheng guard at all, and could only hear the guard chanting and shouting:
"It doesn't matter if Wei Hou knows it, he can do it."
Lan Ziyi frowned and asked again:
"Dare to ask, my lord, what is the use of tuning the god machine camp?"
Na Wei Jun said:
"The Shenji Battalion is the elite of the Beijing Battalion, and the prince transferred people over to defend the battalion."
Lan Ziyi couldn't help but feel sour in his heart when he heard this, and shouted out "Oops", he Lan Ziyi has worked hard for so long, fighting from one end of the camp to the other end of the camp, but what he won was this result.
Qi Rongxun also sighed when he heard this, he took a step forward and said what Lan Ziyi wanted to say to the Taichengwei on the horse. Qi Rongxun says:
"This lord, shotgunners need distance to shoot, and the battle is advantageous at a high place, you transfer them to the big tent, which is surrounded by tents in the army, with limited vision and insufficient distance, how to fight?"
Immediately the guard replied lightly:
"Then ask Qi Hou to go over and command together."
Qi Rongxun replied:
"There are no more generals left in the army, you let me go, what should I do with the camp gate here?"
When the guard heard this, he raised the knot in his hand, placed it horizontally on his horse, and then asked:
"The boss told you to go, do you dare not go?"
Lan Ziyi asked:
"King De, hasn't he always been disgusted with the sound of the cannon of the Shenji Battalion? Why do you want to tune the Divine Machine Camp now? Besides, King De said that there are Imperial Forest Army and Jihu Battalion around him, so why should he transfer other people? β
The guard replied:
"The prince said, the Shenji Battalion is powerful in killing the enemy, and the demon thieves are afraid, and now the demon thieves are besieging it, and it is a good time for the Shenji Battalion to go over to protect the camp."
