Chapter 487: General, let me talk about Zhang Xian
Let's say that the yamen of the prefect of the famous mansion, Huang Qianshan is forty years old, and he has sat in such an important position, which can be said to be proud. If it weren't for the rise of the Liangshan Army, the land of Hebei would be in danger, and Huang Qianshan would be proud of the spring breeze and full of ambition.
But now it is panic all day long, every time I wake up at night, full of sweat, I am afraid that the Liangshan army will break into the city.
His brother Huang Qiandetian was the governor of Mengzhou, and he had fled into the Daimyo's mansion at this time, but who expected that he would be in a cage, unable to get in and out, and lamented every day, and he didn't know how many bitter voices he had screamed.
If so, these two people also fell into Li Si's eyes.
On this day, the city of the Daimyo's Mansion fell, and although the Liangshan army failed to penetrate the city, the city was shaken. As soon as Zhang issued the decree, he received an invitation from Huang Qianshan, but he said that he wanted to feast on the huge family in the city at night, and planned the strength of everyone to defend the city.
"Why is Fu Yin causing chaos at such a time?" Tonight is the most important thing, and there should be no negligence. The Liang bandits used the gap attack as a cover at dusk, and climbed the gap in the city wall with elite soldiers. If Wang Yan hadn't handled it properly, he would have arranged the wooden female walls layer by layer, and blocked them with thistles, antlers, and horses, I'm afraid that the cities on all sides of this famous mansion would have fallen. Where does Zhang Suo still have the leisure to go to the banquet?
Huang Qiande wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Zhang Xianggong is respectful, but this night banquet is only for Xianggong to come forward." At that time, the southern wall of the city collapsed, causing panic all over the city, and there were countless rumors and rumors, and the people spread falsehoods, although the words were absurd, but the impact was extremely bad. If you want to quickly stabilize the people in the city, you have to come forward with those gentry. If so, the elder brother invited the big families in the city to the banquet, and also asked the lower officials to invite the prime minister to a meeting. This is also a big deal. ”
Huang Qiande said that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and Hugh said that Zhang Xian thought it was true when he heard it, even Zhang Xian felt the same after hearing it. "That Huang Qianshan seems to be useless, but he doesn't want to be of any use."
The official voice was not good in the Daimyo's mansion, and if the Liangshan army broke into the city, it would also suffer. It is no wonder that the people in the same boat are working hard now.
Zhang Xian went to dispatch troops and horses to step up internal defenses, and Zhang Suo led a team of personal soldiers and followed Huang Qiande to the prefect's yamen for a banquet.
The latter is really a good city, and it is not lively. Zhang heard the commotion from afar. Then he said to Huang Qiande: "This is a wonderful method. Seeing Anrong in the eyes of the people can fix the hearts of the people and shock their morale. "Huang Qiande is the only one.
When Zhang arrived at the back court of the mansion, he saw that the banquet had been placed, and the big families in the city had also been invited, but they were complete. Only the atmosphere among the people is different, and there are many depressed people in it.
The two met, and Zhang Suo was immediately introduced by Huang Qianshan to the chief seat. And with the arrival of Zhang, this banquet is also the beginning.
Seeing that the popularity of the crowd is not high, those who raise their glasses and drink freely, look around at the crowd, and there is no one. Zhang Suo got up and said: "Ji Han Zhuge Wuhou once said: Deeply concerned that the Han and the thief are not separated, and the royal industry is not partial. With the wisdom of the first emperor and the talent of the ministers, he knew that the ministers were thieves, and the enemy was weak. However, if you don't kill the thief, the king's industry will also die; But sit and wait for death, who will cut it down? That's why the ministers are suspicious. ”
"How similar is the Ji Han of that day to my Daimyo's Mansion today? All of you here helped Zhang to defend the city with the family Ding Nursing Home, so far the Han and the thieves are not separate. The day of the destruction of the city is the time when I was martyred, and it is also the time when you are martyred. A fight to the death with a thief is death, and sitting and waiting to be killed is also a death, so why don't you fight hard to let the world know the loyalty of our generation? Such a name in history, but also let future generations admire it? ”
What Zhang said is very loyal, just like what he said in "The Later Teacher's Table", a sense of loyalty and heroism overflowed with words. But these words must not make the people present happy to hear it, even those who did not get close to Li Si, after listening to Zhang Suo's words, their faces were twilight, and they smiled ugly.
"The difference between the two sides. The King of Qi is benevolent, and the world knows it. If Zhang Xianggong changes the picture at this time, then the king will be happy, and he will not lose his wealth and wealth, so he will sit and wait to be killed! ”
Dressed in a dark cotton robe, Li Si got up and walked out of the sequence and spoke loudly.
Zhang Suo was furious, "Where are the soldiers, I pushed them out and beheaded them." But he didn't reason with the comer, and shouted directly. At this time, it is time to use thunderous means to exert hot hands. But they can't give such characters the opportunity to discern their tongues, so as not to deceive people's hearts.
At the same time, Zhang Suo was also suspicious of Huang Qianshan beside him. How can such a mad thief enter and exit the official office, is he not ......
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Huang Qianshan with a pair of angry eyes, "You ......, what a thief." But he saw that Huang Qianshan was holding a crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow on it was sharp, pointing at him.
Zhang was furious. "Okay, you are a dog thief, you have received a lot of favor from the emperor, but at this difficult time, you have committed treason and surrendered to the thief, the old man really hates not to see through his face as soon as possible, and kill him to set an example."
Zhang Suo was furious, and was about to pull out the sword at his waist, but he felt empty. It turned out that when he was seated, he had already unloaded his sword. But Zhang Suo still clenched his fists to pounce on Huang Qianshan, putting life and death out of the way.
was hit on the head by a small servant who seemed to be a wine waiter behind him, holding a wine spoon, and fainted immediately.
There was a noise at the banquet, but it was quickly overpowered by the sound of infantry rushing out of the two compartments. But I saw hundreds of soldiers in armor pressing from the left and right, and those gentry who had not participated were silent.
"Don't worry. Today, it is really a last resort. Xiao Ke introduced himself first, he belonged to the Daqi Espionage Division, and he was the head of the Daimyo Station. The surname is Li Mingsi, and I have greeted you. ”
If it is a thunderbolt, the name of the Liangshan Military Espionage Division has already spread all over the world, and the name of the Daimyo Station is not low. If it is the owner of a large family, whether it is someone who has known about it for a long time, or who refuses to participate, now they all get up and return the salute.
"You all know that this city has collapsed, and although Zhang Xianggong has built another wall in it, what is the difference between the city wall and the wall of the Daimyo's Mansion in a few days? The former have collapsed, but how can the latter be saved? And there are no reinforcements outside the Daimyo's mansion, and there are no strong troops inside, and the day of the destruction of the city is already waiting. At that time, if Zhang Xianggong built a fortress on the street like this, fought hard, and a war disaster swept over the place, the loss was huge, which can be imagined. After a fierce battle, this daimyo's mansion is like the city of Tokyo, and the scenery is not there. ”
"You are all local giants, and you are based here, why don't you be obsessed and don't save yourself, so as not to kill the army and the people, and the jade will be burned?"
At this time, it was time for Jia Yi and other insiders to perform. Qi Qi came out of the queue and bowed to Li Si: "I beg the general to rescue." ”
Even Huang Qianshan was also below Li Si at this time.
In this way, people are all group animals, and when they are driven like this, there is immediately a scene of group response. In this way, it was not long before countless retinues hurriedly returned home with letters from the head of the house.
When Zhang Xian realized that something was wrong, it was already two or three quarters of an hour later. At that moment, he led troops to the prefect's yamen. It was also at this time that the offensive of the Liangshan army at night began.
Artillery stones slammed into the wooden women's wall and dirt bags and sandbags not far from the broken wall. One of the huge wooden balls pierced the sky with raging flames, just like meteors.
This type of incendiary bomb is made of wooden pellets soaked in grease, taken out to dry, and then re-immersed. This is done repeatedly, and if a fireball is 'full' of fat, it can burn for four or five hours without interference.
The fireballs were large torches, and soon the city and the city were all red.
The war drums of the Liangshan army beat rapidly, the sound of the horn shook the sky, and the soldiers rushed up like a tide and went crazy.
As soon as the defender's wall was broken, the morale of the army was already in turmoil, even if Zhang Suo built two city walls behind him early, it would be useless. Lu Qian didn't choose to attack in one go, and after the tentative attack, he just asked the stone artillery troops to extend the bombardment, because the defenders had already prepared. From Zhang Suo to a small soldier, they all knew that that section of the city wall would be finished sooner or later.
Therefore, although the army's heart was shaken, it could still hold on for a while. If so, Lu Qian took a step back and ordered the artillery to bombard the new city wall behind him, which had only experienced an hour of artillery bombardment, and it was already full of cracks. Obviously, its quality is far worse than the walls of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Lu Qian just let everyone know that this new city wall is not enough at all. At the same time, it was also a wrong signal to the defenders that he was going to repeat his old trick and break down the new wall with stone cannon attacks. But in fact, when the night covered the land, it launched a fierce attack.
In the darkness of the night, when people's vision is blocked, they are more dependent on their ears, and they are more likely to be grasped by fear.
When the fire bombs and cannonstones fly, the rumbling sound does not stop; A crossbow was aimed at the city wall in the firelight, and the treadmill arrows were plunged straight into the wall, and the soldiers stared at the treadmill arrows and climbed upward; Then there were cloud ladders set up at the gap, shouting to kill the sky, and the tide-like Liangshan soldiers rushed to the city. At this time, someone shouted again: The city is broken, the city is broken......
Lu Qian didn't think that these soldiers and horses in the city of the Daimyo's Mansion could hold on. Not to mention that at the critical moment, the father and son of the Zhang family disappeared without a trace, and Zhang Xian would not let the father of the prefect yamen ignore it and go to the city to fight bloodily.
When there was a loud roar in the city, although it was only a fire, and some empty houses that were uninhabited and were deliberately vacated, it was a heavy blow to the defenders fighting at the head of the city.
Wang Yan first felt that the general trend had gone. Especially when he knew that the prefect Huang Qianshan was in rebellion, Zhang was trapped in the prefect's yamen, Zhang Xian led troops to besiege him, and he was forced to use his father's safety when he did not dare to use force. Yang Tianchang sighed: "God doesn't bless Song, what can I do in vain?" Then he called for the flag to be raised and surrendered.
Seeing Hao Siwen said: "General, let me go and talk about Zhang Xian." Fighting each other can not only reduce casualties, but also add one or two heroes to the king of Qi. ”
Hao Siwen didn't dare to make decisions without permission, so he sent someone to report to Lu Zhishen, who agreed. Lu Qian mentioned Zhang's father and son several times, and his appreciation was beyond words.
