What Hong Chengchou admires most about Liu Renyu is that he is not afraid of difficulties, does not shirk, does not talk about conditions, does not take advantage of the opportunity to coerce, and charges ahead and retreats behind.

Although he praised Liu Renyu's behavior of immediately leading troops to the battlefield without saying a word, it was not good to agree to this, so he smiled slightly and said gently: "Why should Renyu be in a hurry, if you want to come here from afar, you will definitely be tired of driving and horses, so you will rest for a while, recuperate, and it will not be too late to fight again tomorrow." ”

Hong Chengchou actually wished that Liu Renyu's subordinates would go to battle immediately, but as a leader, the words on the scene are not impossible, the superior treats his subordinates, meritorious service must be rewarded, and it is necessary to punish mistakes, and necessary care is even more necessary, because this can move his subordinates and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

Liu Renyu has also been mixed in the officialdom for a few years, and he can guess a few points of Hong Chengchou's meaning, so he pretended to be very moved, and replied in a loud voice: "The subordinate soldiers of the standard have thanked the commander for raising his love, but our army is not very tired, because our army is either all riding horses or all sitting in carriages, lightly armed and simple, it is really impossible to talk about the fatigue of carriages and horses, so our army can immediately enter the battle, and please ask the commander to give permission." ”

Hong Chengchou said that this was just polite, but when he saw that Liu Renyu's attitude seemed to be very resolute, he smiled slightly and said: "Since Renyu insists on this, if the official does not allow it, it will not be beautiful, then you will go to war, your troops will fight, just let us all see, what is the hot air balloon like?" ”

"Does the commander know that there are hot air balloons in the army?" Liu Renyu was surprised.

"The battle of Dalinghe, the whole country is concerned, the battle report has all been read by the official, the official sees you in the city of Dalinghe, he knows that the probability of winning this battle of my Daming must be extremely high, and the result is as expected by the official, the battle of the Dalinghe is really a big victory, so you have a hot air balloon in your hand and other things The official will naturally know."

Hong Chengchou has always been quite concerned about Liu Renyu, his right-hand man, when he heard that Liu Renyu was going to Liaodong to build a city, he wanted to stop it, because Liaodong is a big black hole, and countless elite soldiers and good generals were lost there.

But this matter is an order issued by the imperial court, and even Hong Chengchou can't say anything, so he pays attention to his henchmen and beloved's every move in Liaodong day and night.

In the days when Daling River was cut off from the Ming news, Hong Chengchou was simply unpleasant, extremely depressed, and thought that he had lost a good general, until the results of the battle of Daling River came out, the Ming army won a big victory, and the Houjin was defeated, and the boulder in Hong Chengchou's heart fell to the ground.

When he was reading the battle report, he learned that Liu Renyu had a four-wheeled carriage equipped with a medium-sized Fran machine, such as a Tiger heavy chariot, and that the Jingbian Fort Army was equipped with such equipment as a hot air balloon that could fly in the sky, so he made a request to see such a rare thing as a hot air balloon.

This matter is not difficult for Liu Renyu at all, originally it was not practical to fight thieves with such sharp equipment, but he found that Hong Chengchou was eager, and the other generals were also very curious, so he smiled slightly and said: "In this case, the hot air balloon will be shown under the mark, and it will be shown to the commander and the generals." ”

****

"I really didn't expect that people can leave the earth and soar in the sky, Renyu, you hot air balloon is really amazing." Hong Chengchou craned his neck, looked at the hot air balloon floating high in the sky, and exclaimed.

The generals of his department were also shocked when they saw this scene, and they couldn't believe their eyes, and ordinary soldiers were even more unbearable, and some soldiers with strong religious beliefs thought that this was a miracle, so they simply knelt on the ground and said in their mouths: "The Bodhisattva has appeared, the Bodhisattva has appeared." ”

The Jingbian Fort Army has long been accustomed to such scenes, so naturally there is no special expression.

On the opposite side of the official army, when the thieves who were stubbornly guarding the central county town saw the officials and soldiers driving dozens of carriages to the front of the city, they were still a little inexplicable, and they didn't know what the officials and soldiers wanted to do.

When the artillery of the Jingbianbao Army removed the cover on the side of the chariot and revealed the artillery in the chariot, the thieves were shocked. These thieves went to fight in various places, and naturally knew the power of cannons, if the officials and soldiers bombarded the city with cannons, the city wall would definitely collapse, and once the city wall was lost, all their own families and horses in the central county town would be finished.

These frightened and inexplicable thieves immediately reported the news of the possession of artillery by the officers and soldiers to the Black Evil God, the stars and scorpions.

When the three leaders heard the report of their minor leaders, they were all shocked.

They have a clear understanding of their own combat effectiveness, relying on a strong city, a solid defense, maybe can hold out for a while, if the city is broken, then the officers and soldiers cover up, they will die without a place to bury.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, these leaders rushed to the east of the city to check the deployment of the officers and troops, and as soon as they arrived, they happened to see the process of the hot air balloon of the Jingbianbao army taking off into the air.

Seeing that the officials and soldiers had this artifact that could be lifted into the air and the power was unknown, the thieves' pawns were all terrified, and their morale dropped rapidly.

"Oh, what is that, what kind of thing can fly in the sky?" When I saw the hot air balloon in the sky, I was so frightened that I trembled and was terrified.

"Isn't it that the officers and soldiers have some new weapons!?" The black god looked at the hot air balloon, his brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and he said worriedly.

"How many people are in charge, what should you do? The officers and soldiers have artillery, how can this city withstand their bombardment, and the thing that flies in the sky, I don't know what use it is? Scorpion Block said worriedly.

"Stay or go, a few masters will give a word." Guo Tianxing asked.

"If we can't defend this city, we won't be able to take all the people with us." The Black God shook his head like a rattle.

"Rush out, the officers and soldiers are outside, we may be able to escape, but the people and horses we have worked so hard to save are gone." The scorpion said unwillingly.

"Hey, scorpion block, now we in Shaanxi, what is most lacking, food, what is not lacking, people who have no food to eat, it doesn't matter if all the people under us die here, as long as we are still here, we can pull up another group of people and horses in three or five days." The Black Demon God didn't care.

"That's what I said, that's it, this city is not kept, the old rules, there are no officials and soldiers in the west, let's go from the west, after we go out, we will scatter and run, who can run away, it all depends on luck, how?" Guo Tianxing suggested.

"There's nothing to say, it's all up to God to accept us." The scorpion block gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's it, the snatched children's jade silk will be thrown in the city, let the officials and soldiers rob it, let's run with the horse army, and it depends on luck whether the infantry army can run or not." The Black Demon God said hatefully.

"Okay, in that case, let's gather at Ximen'er, and when the official army opens artillery to collapse the city wall, we will run immediately."

After Guo Tianxing made the suggestion, the other two leaders nodded, and then they whispered to their henchmen: "Tell the brothers in the old camp, don't bring anything outside of your body, Ximen'er will meet and prepare to run away." ”

The cronies of these thieves were ordered, and they went to deploy their own places.

"A few masters, let's run now, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will chase us soon, just wait until the artillery of the officers and soldiers collapses the city wall, and when they kill in, when they grab money and grab the head, we won't be too late to run. Now, let's make a show on the head of the city now, and block the officers and soldiers for a while. Guo Tianxing suggested.

"Okay, just follow what the star master said." The Black Demon God nodded.

The scorpion block also nodded, signaling that he agreed to this plan.

In this way, the three thieves pretended to stand calmly on the eastern city wall, loudly boosting morale, saying something Hong Chengchou hated the thieves deeply, and even the thieves who surrendered would be killed, and asked everyone to defend with all their might.

And the thieves, who had been frightened by the cannons and hot air balloons of the official army, saw that their leader was still on the city wall and was very calm, so they temporarily suppressed their fear in their hearts and prepared for battle.

After all, the current situation can't help them not fight to the death, because the besieging of the central county town began to kill the thieves without blinking Hong Chengchou!

In order to survive, I have to fight no matter what.
