People will encounter a lot of disasters in their lives, and going to Yangzhou is the disaster of Miao Xun. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only stayed in Guanlou Village for a while, and then left in a hurry, without showing his true intention. But Wen is very clear about this, whether Miao Xun's persuasion can succeed or not depends entirely on the battlefield in Zezhou.

If the war in Zezhou goes well, Miao Xun's trip will be extremely smooth, and if the war in Zezhou is blocked, Li Chongjin may use Miao Xun's life to sacrifice the flag and raise troops to rebel against the imperial court.

Since ancient times, a weak country has no diplomacy, and no matter how clever a negotiator is, his confidence is based on strength. The technique of combining vertical and horizontal during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period must also be based on local advantages in order to achieve the goal.

"Miao Xun, I'm here to say goodbye to you?" Tan Fengyi wondered. Looking at Miao Xun in the distance, Tan Fengyi is now a little puzzled, it is said that the friendship between Miao Xun and Wen is not familiar enough to the extent that he needs to come to say goodbye.

Wen said helplessly: "Did you and Jingyuan say that they would take turns to monitor me." "For Tan Fengyi's ability to appear anytime and anywhere, I have a headache, their tracking skills are too superb, if they don't take the initiative to appear, it will be difficult for them to find out. Will there be privacy in the future? I just want to do something unseemly, and I have to worry about being discovered.

"Don't answer the wrong question." Tan Fengyi snorted.

Wen sighed and said: "He didn't come to say goodbye, he came to shout for help." ”

"You are an idle lord, can you save his life?" Tan Fengyi said in surprise.

Wen said in a leisurely tone: "No one knows if I can save his life, but everyone thinks that gunpowder can save his life." ”

"The secret recipe of the divine thunder, if you continue to hold it in your hands, we will all be at peace in the future." Tan Fengyi said with a serious expression.

Wen said softly: "Yes, it seems that the war of the imperial court in Zezhou is not going well. ”

"Is the imperial court planning to forcibly expropriate the Divine Thunder Secret Recipe in your hand?" Tan Fengyi asked.

"What kind of divine thunder, it's gunpowder, why can't you always change the name." Smell the airway. This damn god thunder is about to make himself stunned, and the things that future generations of elementary school students know are now the most cutting-edge artifacts, and they have encountered the covetousness of various forces from the three mountains and five mountains.

"Your skills in changing the subject, can you not be so clumsy." Tan Fengyi frowned. The divine thunder developed by his senior brother Zhou Qingshan turned into gunpowder when it came to Wen's mouth, although the name was different, but Tan Fengyi obviously knew that this was the same thing, although it was the same thing, but the application of the divine thunder by Wen was more flexible and powerful.

It can be seen that the secret recipe of the divine thunder mastered by Wen is not inherited from the secret recipe of the divine thunder developed by his senior brother Zhou Qingshan.

Wen was speechless and said: "What the imperial court thinks, I don't know, I only know that your senior brother Zhao Erlang has been thinking about it for a long time." ”

"Isn't that the same thing?" Tan Fengyi snorted.

"Even if your senior brother is the current emperor, the court and your senior brother are really not the same thing." Wen said.

If the emperor wants something, it may be difficult to seize it directly, but if the court wants something, it will be directly collected. And this kind of shameless behavior is even glorified as being for the sake of justice. If the emperor took it by force in this way, he would be recorded as a faint king and tyrant like a merchant by the officials with a pen like a knife.

"And what are you going to do?" Tan Fengyi asked. As for whether the emperor and the court are the same thing, she is not interested in debating with Wen clearly.

Wen Shen groaned for a while and said, "Let it be." ”

Tan Fengyi was obviously dissatisfied with this casual answer, but Wen really didn't take it to heart. It is true that gunpowder is a powerful weapon, but it is also an extremely useful civilian product, and the result of a long period of secrecy does not necessarily have much benefit to society.

........

When Wen was still worried, gunpowder became a big burden.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle in Zezhou has begun.

Jersey City.

It has always been a famous majestic fortress in the Jinju area, and it is not enough to describe its majesty with the height of the city and the depth of the pool.

The height of the city is three zhang six, the wall is one zhang seven deep, and the wide and deep moat surrounds the city.

The massive masonry walls covered a seven-mile radius.

The city walls, which have survived countless battles, are as swarthy as a black hole that devours all things.

The city has all the strategic materials, and if you want to conquer such a majestic city in a short time, there is almost no way except to fill it with human lives.

As soon as noon arrived.

The drums of the general attack of the officers and soldiers, accompanied by the frantic shouts of the soldiers, resounded throughout the battlefield.

In the face of such a fortified city, every siege soldier had a determination in his heart.

A hoarse cry came out of his throat involuntarily, which was a vent of nervousness.

Across the battlefield, arrows rained down.

A soldier who braved the rain of arrows to build a ladder on the city wall and climb up.

What ushered in was the rolling wood and stone.

Huge stones fell from the three-zhang high city wall, and the earth trembled, and the dull sound of the boulder colliding with the earth, and the sound of breaking bones after the rolling wood came into contact with the human body.

After falling from the city walls, some of them rolled all the way down the moat, and in an instant, huge waves splashed.

Across the battlefield.

The wails of the soldiers on the verge of death.

The sound of arrows colliding with a short shield.

The grinding sound of weapons intersecting.

It spread like ripples over the battlefield.

Shi Shouxin, who was riding in front of the city gate to supervise the battle, was loudly directing the soldiers to quickly fill in a section of the moat at the city gate. Only by letting the siege vehicles come forward as soon as possible and destroy the gates of Zezhou City can we avoid greater casualties.

The soldiers filled the moat with rubble and clods of earth. A large number of corpses were also swept into the moat, which had been stained red with blood.

"Report!"

A soldier rode forward with a herald pennant in his hand. The soldier holds the military intelligence flag in his hand, and can drive straight into the commander's tent on the battlefield.

"General Qiyu Gao, there are rebels attacking in the east and west villages, with five thousand people each." A brief report from the herald.

Hearing the military report of the herald soldiers, Zhao Kuangyin, who was watching the battle in the rear on horseback, had a gloomy face at this time, and his hands were clenching the reins, and his muscles were jumping.

The east and west villages and Zezhou City are each other's Olympic aids, and if you want to concentrate on attacking any of them, you will be hit by the other two.

"Your Majesty." Gao Huaide looked at Zhao Kuangyin and asked.

Zhao Kuangyin said with a gloomy face: "Divide 10,000 horses on the left and right to intercept the rebels, if you are defeated, you don't need to pursue, and the first priority is to storm Zezhou City with all your might." ”

"No." Gao Huaide clasped his fists and saluted.

This tactic of the east and west villages is completely a harassment tactic, and they will not really rescue Zezhou if the city of Zezhou is not really at the critical moment of life and death, this is just a conventional tactic to disperse the forces of the officers and soldiers.

But it's this fly tactic that is really annoying. If left unchecked, it could turn into a real attack, and if you try your best to deal with it, the rebels will retreat into the two villages and continue to hold on.
