"Shut up!" Tong Guan slapped the table, and a group of generals sat back on their seats.

At this time, Han Shizhong got up and said: "I heard that there is a person on Huainan East Road who was appointed to the county because of the rebellion to destroy Liangshanbo, why don't you call him to serve in front of the army?" ”

After hearing this, the generals did not speak, the great Song Dynasty Wengui and Wu cheap, you put a well-known county into the army, and the literati in the world are not allowed to spray you to death! We don't get involved in this kind of 'brain-dead' thing.

Tong Guan glanced at him and said, "You are a dead horse as a live horse doctor, you can think of a small move." ”

Han Shizhong's old face turned red when he was said, and he said: "I just heard about the lowly position, since the adults think it is impossible, then forget it." ”

Tong Guan naturally would not give up this opportunity, and said: "Now that the will of the imperial court has not come down, and the left and right are waiting, then try it first." ”

Han Shizhong was a little confused, isn't it not okay? No matter how he listened to it again, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only receive the order: "Humble and commanded." ”

In Shuyang County, Zhang Yang, who received Tong Guan's order, breathed a little heavily, and muttered to himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's finally this day!" ”

"Zhang Long, notify the county's officials to gather! Ma Han, inform Zhang Jiajun to assemble! Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers will send to Yangzhou! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Less than an hour after Zhang Yang's order was handed down, all the Zhang Jiajun in Zhangjiazhuang were assembled. The Zhang Yang generous speech on the stage, the soldiers in the audience were very excited, and they couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield immediately!

The newly recruited soldiers are very well trained, and each of them fires a hundred rounds of ammunition per day! Continuous high-intensity training has turned them from ordinary people into predators, shooting reflexively at the orders of their commanders!

Looking at the neat queue of soldiers in the audience, Zhang Yang was full of confidence. Although their number was only 4,000 men, the all-firearms army armed with flintlock rifled guns was not comparable to the army of the Cold Weapon Age, and it was not a problem to fight against an army of 350,000 armed with broadswords and spears.

This time, Zhang Yang took out all the good things, a full hundred artillery!

Ninety-five 75mm nine-pound camp guns and five 155mm thirty-six-pound siege guns! This siege heavy artillery was prepared for the Northern Expedition, and this time it was brought to Yangzhou, which was considered pre-training.

In addition to artillery, Zhang Yang also formed a cavalry with a size of 500 people! Unlike traditional cavalry, which required years of hard training to become proficient, the flamboyant cavalry was fully armed with revolvers, all of which were classic 'Colt' pistols.

This cavalry embodies all his hard work, the horses of this era are extremely expensive, and the Great Song Dynasty is very short of horses, the slightly better horses have been taken away by the army, and the good horses that are scattered among the people are extremely limited.

And horses are very delicate animals, and the cost of eating and drinking on a horse is as high as five infantrymen! This is still the infantry under Zhang Yang's command, if it is the infantry in the Great Song army, there will be more than ten.

With the current financial resources, to achieve a balance between the four thousand people, these 4,000 people are almost the limit.

The flamboyant soldiers are not a box army that only eats two meals a day and only trains once in ten days and a half months! It's not a forbidden army that has been seriously deducted by Shangguan, and has to rely on juggling and performing puppets to make a living!

If you become a soldier for Zhang Yang, you can feed your family alone. And that's just for the infantry, the more technical artillery and cavalry cost more!

The next day, Zhang Yang said goodbye to his wife and children, and set off with 4,000 Zhang's army and 1,000 county officials.

At the same time, in the city of Yangzhou, Pang Wanchun was reporting to the dynasty on the situation in the south after the end of the first battle to defend the city. Because Han Shizhong still deployed cavalry patrols outside the city, the rebel army could not be supplied. Fortunately, Pang Wanchun brought enough grain and grass before, and even if the army besieged Yangzhou, there was still plenty of grain and grass.

"Divine Lord, the 'Manichaeism' in the south is becoming more and more unscrupulous now, and before I went north, Chen Shiv and Yu Andao's Manichaean army even tried to attack Muzhou! Qiu Rixin's army also attacked Yuezhou during this period! ”

Wang Dynasty listened carefully, and the earth protector on the side also spoke: "Qiu Rixin happened to be a subordinate defense when he attacked Yuezhou, and thanks to the huge power of the divine thunder, Qiu Rixin's army was at least half lost by surprise!" He didn't dare to go against us anytime soon. ”

"Well, well done."

The dynasty had a general understanding of the situation in the south. At present, production has resumed in the occupied area, and only Qiu Rixin and Chen Shishi are left in the south of Liangzhejiang Road, and Jiangnan East Road has basically completed the occupation! The small number of resisting Xiang troops were so ineffective that they could not pose a threat at all.

"I probably already know the matter, the two jumping clowns in the south are not to worry, and the current focus is still on holding the Yangtze River defense line! When I'm free, I'll clean them up! ”

"Yes, Lord."

"Before you came, how was the transformation of the sailor's warship?"

Speaking of this, Pang Wanchun was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Back to the God Lord, the transformation of the warship is very smooth, and now the young men of the sailor can't wait to show their talents!" ”

Wang Dynasty smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, their opportunity to perform is coming soon." Wan Chun, immediately use the 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique' to inform Qiu Xia, the sailor will immediately go north, and we will teach the imperial army a good lesson in the Yangtze River! ”

"Yes, Lord!"

Three days later, Zhang Yang successfully arrived at Yangzhou Daying along the Grand Canal.

"Report to the marshal, there is Zhang Yang, the magistrate of Shuyang County, who is outside the gate, and asks to see the marshal."

"Bring him in."

"Yes."

At this time, there was no one else in the big tent, only Tong Guan and Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong is still working on the next round of offensive plans! Hearing that Zhang Yang was coming, he suspended explaining the plan to Tong Guan.

Zhang Yang was wearing a blue-green magistrate's official uniform, strode into the big tent, saluted Tong Guan and Han Shizhong, and said, "Your Majesty Zhang Yang has seen the Xuanfu Envoy, General Han. ”

"Well, sit down."

Tong Guan's face was kind and his tone was warm. This made Han Shizhong confused, and secretly flanked: Could it be that Xuanfu made the adults know this little magistrate?

"Master Xie."

Zhang Yang thanked him, and he was not polite, and sat down with a big thorn.

"How many people did Zhang Zhixian bring this time?"

"Lord Hui, the lower officials brought a total of 5,000 men and horses, including 500 cavalry, 500 artillery, and 4,000 infantry."

Tong Guan nodded, and Han Shizhong, who was sitting in the second seat, said curiously: "What is artillery?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "The so-called artillery refers to the arms that specialize in firing artillery!" And artillery, in the eyes of Xia Guan, will be the 'god of war' who will dominate the battlefield in the future! ”

"God of War?" Han Shizhong was stunned for a moment, and then his face became not very good-looking, he was most disgusted by the literati designing some useless formation weapons. War is not a flash of inspiration, he doesn't want to have another fiasco under Yangzhou City because of the light enemy's rash advance!
