After seeing the Northern Corps led by Zhu Shuo, Yuan Yun felt an indescribable anger in his heart, because the other party, whether it was configured or used, was no different from the gunpowder army in Luoyang, and the only thing that could be distinguished was that the gunpowder army had more guns.

When the enemy's artillery continued to bombard the defense, every blow would make Yuan Yun feel a kind of panic, back then like this, the mode of first covering the artillery, and then launching an attack, has always been the gunpowder army's specialty, but now it has become the enemy's specialty.

"If we don't fight back, I'm afraid the enemy will become more emboldened, and if they move their artillery positions again, they will be able to hit the city." Yuan Yun looked at the calm Zhuge Liang and finally expressed his worries.

Zhuge Liang put down the map in his hand slightly, and then replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, what Liang is waiting for is that the other party will move the artillery position, when it comes to the use of artillery, we are orthodox, and Zhu Shuo has only mastered some skins." ”

Yuan Yun sighed when he heard this, he didn't know Zhuge Liang's plan, that is, once the other party began to move the artillery, his own side would immediately start to launch an artillery bombardment to destroy all the artillery that the enemy had no time to erect, but now that the city wall in the west has collapsed, if the other party continues to attack like this, not only the city wall, but also the army's heart will probably be shaken.

Zhuge Liang saw that Yuan Yun was still a little restless, so he could only continue to persuade him: "The Xiaopei we are in is just an old city, and the existence of those city walls is not of much importance, and if they are destroyed, they will be destroyed, we have rifles and Gatling and other long-range killing weapons, and Zhu Shuo will definitely not attack rashly, so the lord can drink tea with confidence." ”

Rumble!

With the last shell exploding, Zhu Shuo seemed to have finally stopped shooting, because he also knew very well that his side did not have a steady stream of artillery attacks, and almost consumed as many as they could hit, and the Northern Army, which did not have a gunpowder workshop, could only rely on some of the armaments left over from that year to fight, and it would not last long if it did not save some.

After Zhuge Liang heard the sound of artillery bombardment, he immediately summoned the heralds, and then sent out the tasks assigned before, and soon there was a rumbling sound on the road in Xiaopei's inner city, Yuan Yun didn't need to go out to see it, his artillery was finally pushed out, and it seemed that Zhu Shuo finally planned to move his artillery position forward.

At this point in the battle, Yuan Yun was already sure of his own victory, so he prepared to climb directly to the dilapidated tower in the north city to see the fate of the other party, but he only moved on his front foot, and was stopped by Zhuge Liang.

I only heard Zhuge Liang smile and said: "The lord is still staying behind, it is inappropriate to go to the city tower at this moment, although the other party does not have weapons such as muskets, but if Zhu Shuo uses artillery to concentrate on attacking, it will be very bad." ”

Yuan Yun sighed again when he heard this, and waved his hand impatiently, which was regarded as agreeing to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang also seemed to see something at this time, so he shook the feather fan twice, and said: "The reason why the lord is so impatient is probably because he is unhappy with the weapons made in Luoyang, but now they are used against ourselves, but this is also a helpless thing, fortunately, the other party has no gunpowder supply, and the cannonballs will run out sooner or later, so we are just a short retreat at the moment." ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay to say that the weapons, I think those northern clans are all unfamiliar dogs, and the imperial court has never treated them badly, but now they want to follow Sima Yi to kill themselves, I really can't understand it." ”

Zhuge Liang issued the last order, and then continued Yuan Yun's words: "The lord doesn't know, after you and Your Majesty start to implement the imperial examination system, it is equivalent to becoming the mortal enemy of the clans in the world, the bigger the family, the more hated you are."

The imperial examination system is a bunch of out, which means that these clans that have held great power for generations have been pushed off the altar, and their children are bound to compete with more people if they want to gain fame, and in terms of competitiveness, where are these people who have been in fine clothes and food since childhood are the opponents of those poor people, so if they don't rebel, they can only watch the power in their hands gradually drain away.

Now that Sima Yi waved his arms, these clans felt that they had another chance, after all, Sima Yi resolutely denied the imperial examination system, once he gained power, it was equivalent to letting those big clans rise again, how could they not take risks? ”

After saying this, Zhuge Liang seemed to be interested in talking, so he filled the tea bowl in front of Yuan Yun, and then continued: "It can also be seen from this point that Your Majesty really values the lord, and would rather take the risk of offending the clans of the world than resolutely implement the imperial examination system, so Liang said before that once our counterinsurgency is over, the lord will be truly worry-free in the future, and the generals will no longer have anyone who wants to deal with you day and night, plus you have no ambitions, Your Majesty will be very relieved, and your prestige will be as high as the sky." ”

Yuan Yun doesn't seem to pay much attention to these, the only thing he cares about is that after his prestige really reaches that level, he can live as much as he wants, as long as he doesn't rebel, I believe that he will be very freehand in the rest of his life.

Zhuge Liang saw that Yuan Yun finally relieved a trace of unhappiness, so he changed the topic and said: "General Xiahou Yuan stayed in the Yangzhou territory and continued to clear the remnants of Lu Xun, Guo Jia's military division has already waved his army north, I believe that we can reach it in a few days, and our trip to Liaodong is not far away, now as long as Zhu Shuo's army from Qingzhou is dismantled, we can go to sea immediately, and the rest of the affairs in Xuzhou Guo Jiajun and Chen Deng will definitely be properly handled." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said, "My senior sister is at the Xuzhou Wharf at the moment, and Xu Yi is also helping, so this matter must be very safe, I am now a little worried about Zhao Yun and Deng Ai who went to Liaodong in advance, after all, none of the people sent before can return safely." ”

Zhuge Liang also showed a trace of worry at this time, because the intelligence over there was really very scarce, and it was impossible to predict what would happen, and the reason why Zhao Yun and Deng Ai went over in advance was to prepare for the sneak attack of the army behind, otherwise such a lone army would go deep into the enemy's hinterland, and there would definitely be no good fruit to eat.

While the two were talking, Shi Shen, who had not followed Yuan Yun for a long time, finally returned to Yuan Yun's side again, and after he entered Xiao Pei's City Lord's Mansion, he immediately said: "Lord, Mr. Chen Yuanlong is here, and he is coming from the city wall at this moment, so he will send someone over to say hello first." ”

Yuan Yun sighed, then looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "It seems that the reinforcements of Guo Jia's military division have arrived, otherwise Yuanlong will definitely not abandon Xuzhou City and come to this front-line position." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, then pointed to the location at the door with a feather fan and said: "Then it's better for us to welcome the past, and it can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord." ”

Yuan Yun immediately quipped: "How can you say that the Xuzhou boundary is the largest of their Chen family, and we are the guests, besides, Brother Kong Ming didn't agree with me to go to the city wall just now, how can this be okay?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "If Liang's expectation is good, when we reach the position of the city wall, Zhu Shuo should also transfer his artillery position, at that time, our artillery shells will immediately cover the past, and it will be difficult for Zhu Shuo to counterattack, so this will pass just right, and there will be no danger." ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already left the city lord's mansion, and at this moment the streets had been emptied, and the people had already retreated to the rear, and the entire city had become the world of the gunpowder army, and there was no problem with a large number of weapons piled up on both sides of the road.

Seeing that several Gatling machine guns were loaded by the soldiers in a carriage and were being sent to the city gate, Yuan Yun immediately looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, because according to what he said before, it seemed that these Gatling were not used, and he didn't know why he had to take them out at this moment.

Zhuge Liang saw Yuan Yun looking at Gatling, and immediately explained: "Be prepared, Liang always thinks that after we destroy Zhu Shuo's artillery, he will inevitably start to think about retreating, and then it will be a good time for us to chase and kill, this will be prepared first, so as not to be in a hurry." ”

Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction, as I said before, but the army was fully handed over to Zhuge Liang to be responsible, and now that he was so well prepared, he could be completely relieved, and he would continue to exist as the mascot of the Gunpowder Army.

The two rode horses for a while, and soon saw Chen Deng at the edge of the city wall, but just when Chen Deng just wanted to say hello, a huge cannon roar suddenly howled, and the artillery on the side of the Gunpowder Army had begun to fire a salvo, proving that Zhu Shuo had really moved the artillery position forward.

Although the three of them met, they didn't care about greeting each other at this time, and they all walked to the city, and then watched a wolf smoke rise from the local position, and there was constantly fire seeping out of the smoke, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Chen Deng finally spoke at this time, and said: "When the southern expedition was carried out, I Chen Deng did not have the opportunity to participate, this time I finally saw the power of artillery, which is really terrifying, such a weapon is now put into the battle array, I am afraid that the casualties will be more than in the past, I don't know how many times it has been doubled, and what is more terrifying is that the rebels also have such a big killing weapon, which really makes people sleep poorly." ”

After listening to Chen Deng, Zhuge Liang looked at the position that was constantly exploding in front of him, and then said with a smile: "This time the artillery brought by Zhu Shuo should be these, when we destroy these, he will inevitably choose to retreat, otherwise he will have to accept our unilateral artillery attack, thinking that he is absolutely reluctant." ”

Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, and took a little bit of Chen Deng, and found that this thing looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, and what Zhuge Liang said just now was probably politely trying to retreat.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun glanced around the city wall, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "Since Brother Kong Ming is ready to pursue Zhu Shuo, the team should be assembled. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Get the order, Liang will arrange it." ”

Chen Deng saw that Zhuge Liang was gone, so he sighed and said: "Guo Jiajun and Xiahou Yuan not only exterminated the Lu Xun clan in Yangzhou, but also captured countless clans, whether these people were forced or intentional, they actually participated in the rebellion, and the imperial court will probably not let them go." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, knowing that Chen Deng had the following, so he didn't answer, just waited.

Sure enough, Chen Deng continued: "After reading the list of Guo Jiajun's divisions, almost all the nobles in Yangzhou are included, if this is to destroy the family, I am afraid that there will be no clans left in the Yangzhou territory, so I am afraid that it will play a very negative role in the future management, so I plan to write to Your Majesty and ask him to let those people go." ”

Yuan Yun immediately shuddered when he heard this, if Cao Ang had agreed in the past, but now Cao Ang, who is completely thinking about the problem with the thinking of an emperor, will definitely not agree, after all, these people participated in the rebellion when he first took over the world, which is tantamount to giving Cao Ang a big mouth, so in the end of defeat, Cao Ang will definitely not be soft, and whoever dares to intercede for these people will be unlucky.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Yun finally cautiously advised: "Brother Yuanlong must not be involved in this matter, it is best to wait for all rebellions to ......."

"I have made up my mind, this time I came here in addition to informing Yuan Hou of the news of Guo Jiajunshi, it can be regarded as saying goodbye, I will rush to Guandu to meet Your Majesty in a few days, I have entrusted the matter of Xuzhou to Guo Jiajunshi, I believe that he will definitely do a hundred times stronger than me." Chen Deng didn't wait for Yuan Yun to finish speaking, he had already made a decision.

Yuan Yun looked at Chen Deng's appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that there was no way to persuade him, but this time Chen Deng went over, and it was not good that he angered Cao Ang, and he would end up with a very miserable ending.
