Chapter 237: Regret Can't be the fattest
The reason why Jiang Feng didn't bring a few heavy guns in his hand was to pursue speed. This time, almost all the horses in the Dengzhou battalion were used, and the counterinsurgency in Yanzhou is now the top priority in Shandong, and all the prefectures and counties in the grain and straw areas are fully supplied, and there are more than 600 military horses, more than 400 pack horses, and 2,000 soldiers here in Jiangfeng, and they didn't worry about logistics along the way, which is a miracle.
So many horses can naturally guarantee speed, Liu Twelve placed in a rather luxurious van carriage, after coming out of Dengzhou, the rapid march of three days has already arrived, the south of Jinan Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion bordering the place, although the local garrison here is unable to attack, but it is also a tight defense ready for battle.
All kinds of front-line news gathered in Jiang Feng's hands in various ways, and in that van carriage, Liu Twelve was there to browse through the military newspapers one by one, and make judgments there.
"Yanzhou has coal and iron, if we can be stationed nearby, our weapons workshop under Yantai Mountain can at least save general expenses."
Around the carriage, Jiang Feng, Zhang Liang, and Liu Shisan were all riding on the side, and Luo Yi, Yang Da, and Yang Shi were all maintained in front of and behind the team. Jiang Feng knew that although there were some things that everyone was doing in ignorance, for a child like Zhang Liang who grew up in an officer family, some things still couldn't be said too clearly, and they needed to be carried out imperceptibly.
Hearing this, Zhang Liang didn't know if he really didn't understand or pretended to be confused, so he thought for a while and said:
"According to the rules of the imperial court, if the thief Chen is pacified by us, Yanzhou will definitely be handed over to us to guard, and with such a credit, it is estimated that it is not impossible for Dengzhou to hold the benefits in our hands."
Chen Deaf's weapons and the people who trained them were all those Orions and Weishan Island systems of Yang Da, and Zhang Zhangliang and Luo Yi didn't know about it.
Liu Twelve's voice suddenly came down from the carriage on the side, and he said:
"My lord, there is no need to march so hastily, we will rest for the night in Qiuzhuang tonight, and if we calmly set up the formation at noon tomorrow, we will have a greater certainty."
If it were according to the speed of the march a few days ago, Jiang Feng's Dengzhou battalion would have faced off against Chen Deaf's men besieging Rongyang this afternoon, but in such cold weather, night fighting was obviously not a good choice.
In Chen Deaf's team, Wen Dao sent scouts and spies to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers in all directions every day, and what Chen Deaf knew was that the nearest officers and soldiers around him would not arrive here until five days later. Chen Deaf was even more relieved and boldly prepared to attack the city, and now he was under unified command.
Holding swords and forcing the young men to attack the city, the soldiers and civilians of Yanzhou City Rongyang are becoming more and more unable to support it, as long as the city is broken, the worst result is to get countless gold and silver treasures.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Chen Deaf got a guarantee from Wen Dao, saying that he would definitely attack Rongyang today. Chen Deaf was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't waste too much time on the few looting women when he got up in the morning, but got up early to gather troops and horses.
He announced the reward in public, and after everyone entered the city, they could grab it for two days, and those who went to the city first could get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. As soon as this reward came out, whether it was the horse team of his cronies or the young men who were used as cannon fodder, they all became excited, and the cheers of the city resounded in the sky.
The soldiers in the city were no longer as resolute as they had been at the beginning, and the physical and psychological pressure brought about by the endless fighting in the past few days had made them a little unbearable. Although it is said that Chen Deaf and those people are more killed and injured, these mobs don't care about their own deaths and injuries at all, anyway, they can use a lot of cannon fodder.
Chen Deaf's men have accumulated a lot of experience in attacking the city for so many days, and now they have covered the door panel with a watered quilt to increase the defense, and they have also gained some skills in the bundling of the ladder. The people below more or less found themselves a plank or something to use as a shield.
Yesterday, someone had already begun to attack the city, and it was the prefect Cui Chenxing who led his family to step forward bravely, which was the way to kill.
Listening to the cheers and howls full of bestiality and mania below, Cui Chenxing, the prefect of the city, looked at the officers and soldiers and Minzhuang around him, and found that they all looked defeated, obviously no longer having the courage to continue fighting. Could it be that today's city will be breached?
The mob under the city began to move slowly in the direction of the city wall, Chen Deaf stood in the back column, surrounded by his horse team, he was really complacent, and he had already begun to wonder if he would consider changing the title of the current "Pingtian General" to "Pingtian King" or even "Pingtian Emperor" after he conquered this city, that would be a lifetime without living in vain.
Suddenly, there was a huge cheer on the top of the city, and everyone was shocked, what was the matter, was it crazy? At this time, an entourage beside Chen Deaf suddenly shouted there:
"Dadang...... General, there are officers and soldiers behind us, and there are officers and soldiers coming!! “
The voice was not too alarmed, since the incident, the officers and soldiers they encountered were quite straw bales, and they were basically rushed by the horse team, and they were immediately dispersed. The fear that I didn't have much in my heart before has vanished. Chen Deaf also had the same thought in his heart, and turned around to take a look.
The direction in which the officers and soldiers came happened to be shining in the sun, and when they squinted their eyes, Chen Deaf almost fell off his horse, and the banner of the Dengzhou battalion.
"It's over, it's over......"
Chen Deaf listened to the continuous cheers of the city, and when he saw the approaching Dengzhou camp queue in front of him, his voice trembled a little, and he was extremely frightened in his heart, and was about to give the order to flee desperately, when the knife on the side said gloomily:
"General, let's use those young men to rush at him first, and then the horse team will come up again! If there are too many ants and they bite the tiger to death, I don't believe that they can't be crossed. ”
Chen Deaf swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, thinking about the gold and silver treasures in the camp, and thinking that he had several times more manpower than the other party, and his courage gradually grew.
In the queue of the Dengzhou camp, Jiang Feng looked at the mob and thief army under Rongyang City, sighed regretfully, and said to himself:
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's not the fattest time yet......"
