Chapter 11 I Don't Believe in Fate

The results of Xiao Yuan's camp soon reached the ears of all departments. In the camp, there was inevitably a burst of ridicule, ridiculing Xiao Yuanying for being just thunder and rain.

However, Zhang Xuan didn't care at all.

Chen Yongfu vigorously defended the city, sent soldiers down the city that night, and burned all the siege equipment left under the city. Cleaning up the space under the city, I saw that the damaged siege equipment under the city was dyed with fire one by one. The flames seemed to be mixed with corpses, giving people a smell of corpses.

But both the rebels and the officers and soldiers are used to it, and this is the taste of the battlefield.

He also set up a wooden wall above the head of the city, and placed firecrackers behind it, which was also quite busy.

Yuan Shizhong is interested in commanding the siege, anyway, there are enough hungry people in the land of Henan, and they can be used as siege soldiers in a hurry, and Yuan Shizhong supervises the battle behind the people of his headquarters, and practices the use of some golden drum banners from time to time. It's time for military training.

Zhang Xuan stayed in the camp and focused on one thing, that is, casting cannons.

This time, the casting cannons were not small cannons, but cannons, siege guns, each of which was above a thousand catties.

Zhang Xuan only heard his name about the Hongyi cannon, but did not see his person. But this time the artillery casting has exhausted all Zhang Xuan's ideas about artillery.

Zhang Xuan's design of the artillery, the cannon is seven or eight feet long. Iron core copper tire, however, because of the lack of copper material, this copper tire is inevitably thinner.

Even so, these iron and copper materials also consumed all of Xiao Yuanying's savings.

Of course, it was Xiao Yuan's savings, if it wasn't for Zhang Xuan to leave these cannons to Yuan Shizhong, Yuan Shizhong would definitely not let Zhang Xuan spend so much iron and copper money.

"When will these guns be built?" Zhang Xuan asked Wang Cannon.

Wang Dacang was behind Zhang Xuan and said, "My lord, the iron mold has been done, just cast, it won't take long, it only takes a few days." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Okay, I'll wait here and watch you cast." ”

"Yes." Wang Cannon suddenly felt a huge pressure.

Supervised by a leader and supervised by a leader are two different working states.

The heat wave was monstrous, and a big man was shirtless, no, not just shirtless. Instead, there is only a piece of cloth wrapped around the lower body.

Wang Cannon personally commanded. The heat inside the stove was churning, and the red was blinding.

The place where Zhang Xuan was sitting was slightly farther away, but he was still sweating profusely, and immediately, a person took a cloth soaked in cold water and put it on Zhang Xuan's forehead.

Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a burst of coolness.

Zhang Xuan turned his head to look, but saw Luo Yujiao coming. Hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" ”

Luo Yujiao smiled slightly and said, "You can't sit still, how can I sit still." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at them almost naked

The man was suddenly a little embarrassed and said, "It's a little unsightly here." ”

After a long time in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xuan's values seem to have been assimilated a lot by the Ming Dynasty.

"What's this?" Luo Yujiao said: "Country men work like this, and I am not a lady." I see you're upset. Is Kaifeng City really so difficult to fight? ”

After Luo Yujiao came over, Zhou Fuming and Zheng Lian, who were following Zhang Xuan, left very brightly.

Zhang Xuan saw that there were only the two of them around, smiled slightly bitterly, and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang is really an infrastructure madman." This Kaifeng City, where is a city, it is simply a man-made natural hazard, the twenty-mile-long city wall, four or five zhang high, several zhang wide, I don't know how much there is in the amount of earth, I really have nothing to do. ”

Luo Yujiao didn't understand some words, but just looking at Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan's mood calmed down.

"Kaifeng City is really hard to fight."

"A few zhang wide soil, last year, King Chuang tried his best, fought bloody battles for dozens of days, but still returned in vain. I've tried my best to do everything I can to siege the city. Climb over the city walls, the day before yesterday's way. Digging tunnels, I also tried, the situation under Kaifeng City is complicated, and it can't be dug at all. There is only one option I can choose now, and that is to blast the walls with artillery. But can the ground, which is several feet thick, really be blasted open? ”

"I don't know."

Luo Yujiao said: "Then if you can't attack it, you can't attack it." Anyway, there are many cities in the world, and it is normal that a few of them cannot be captured. ”

"Yes, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, so who can really conquer everything and be invincible, but Kaifeng is different."

"If you can't take an ordinary city, you can't take it. But Kaifeng City, do you know what the king will do if he can't capture the city? ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes didn't know where to fall, and he said in a daze.

"What should I do?" Luo Yujiao said.

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth hooked a sneer and said, "Break the river and irrigate the city." ”

"There are 400,000 people in Kaifeng, 400,000 people, and the lives of 400,000 people are in my hands. King Chuang had no intention of storming Kaifeng City at all. If I don't think of a way, the 400,000 people in Kaifeng City will --- will --- will ---"

Zhang Xuan couldn't go on.

The death of one person and two people, Zhang Xuan has long been downplayed.

Even the casualties of thousands of people, Zhang Xuan had already seen it, for example, the last siege suffered more than 2,000 casualties, Zhang Xuan did not frown.

But 400,000, that's 400,000. How can Zhang Xuan be relieved? How to say let go, let go. If you don't care, you don't care?

"I haven't seen 400,000 people die, but I've seen 100,000 people die, 1,000 people die, 10,000 people die, maybe 100,000 people die. 400,000 people died, but 400,000 people died, and 400,000 people died. I remember when my father first started the army, the whole village of Shaanxi was wiped out. Some people surrendered to the official army, and the whole army was given by the Hong butcher

Killed. Do you know how my mother died? My father killed him. There was a commonplace calmness in Luo Yujiao's tone.

But this calm made Zhang Xuan creepy.

Luo Yujiao didn't wait for Zhang Xuan to speak, and continued: "I remember that at that time, just north of the Yellow River, we were all trapped north of the Yellow River by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. Surrender did not dare. When the Hong butcher kills people, it is full of pits and valleys. Desperate again, my father decided to fight to the death and killed my mother with his own hands. He tied me to his chest, and my brother followed him on a warhorse. Fortunately, at that time, the Yellow River froze. We escaped. But of the so-called millions trapped on the north bank of the Yellow River, only tens of thousands survived. ”

"Every one of us who survives crawls out of the pile of the dead."

Zhang Xuan didn't know how to appease Luo Yujiao, but he gently took Luo Yujiao in his arms, patted her shoulder, and couldn't say the words "mourning" and "changing" no matter what.

Luo Yujiao leaned on Zhang Xuan's chest and said, "It's been so many years, it's long gone. I'm telling you this, just to tell you that life and death are fateful. You don't have to think so much, there are more people dying in the world. It's not your thing. ”

But the thief was blind.

Maybe Zhang Xuan doesn't know some things in history, but Zhang Xuan knows the general historical trajectory.

If according to the original situation in history, with Luo Yujiao's identity, she will not survive next year. Even if he survives next year, she'll have to go through one massacre after another.

Even heavier than the massacres in Shaanxi, Henan.

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "As a big man, if you can't even protect your own woman." What kind of man am I. ”

Zhang Xuan said to Luo Yujiao: "Yujiao, do you believe me?" I will surely make you safe and happy in this life. ”

Luo Yujiao smiled lightly.

Zhang Xuan said: "Don't believe it, at most three years, we will definitely settle down." ”

Luo Yujiao suddenly said: "I remember you said the same last year? ”

Zhang Xuan was suddenly a little embarrassed, he vaguely seemed to have said such a thing. It's just that there is no hope yet.

"But I believe you." Luo Yujiao said: "I believe you in everything. ”

Zhang Xuan's heart warmed, but in fact, he didn't have much confidence in himself. After all, in troubled times, people are like hemp, and people in troubled times are not as good as chaotic dogs. There is no tomorrow today, and even the emperor will inevitably hang directly on the southeast branch. Don't look at Zhang Xuan's status in the rebel army.

But these positions do not necessarily preserve his own head.

It's just that he is so trusted by a woman who loves him, and he suddenly has a lot of pride in his heart.

"Since this thief is blind, I'll let him see how I, Zhang Xuan, changed my fate."

"I don't believe in fate."
