Chapter 531: Crowning the World (1 more for a monthly pass)

But...... Chen Kaizhi was also worried about logistical problems, on the one hand, a large amount of baggage had begun to be transported from the other side of the river, and on the other hand, in this city fortress, as soon as the warehouses were opened, the grain and grass were piled up, and several grain depots were full.
These were the food of the defenders, enough for two thousand military horses to hold out for a year.
Originally, the Yan people used this place as the front line, and they were ready to be besieged by the Chen army at any time, so even if the food in the warrior camp was amazing, here, the food and fresh water for a year were enough.
In the city fortress, there is also a special gunpowder warehouse, the Northern Yan people are quite proficient in firearms, which is actually understandable, they are in the battle against the Hu people, they found that the Hu people are extremely afraid of firearms, is a sharp weapon to counter the Hu people, so the use of firearms is very extensive, but, when Chen Kaizhi saw the firearms in the warehouse, but he couldn't help crying and laughing, there are shoddy firearms, because the firearms are not made of stainless steel, theoretically speaking, it can be called an iron gun, this iron gun is rusty, and the most important thing is that The surface of the iron gun is very uneven, and the iron quality is very poor, so it's okay to barely scare the Hu people, but the power is ...... Well, don't mention it.
The entire city fortress has begun to get busy, with abundant gunpowder and food reserves, in addition, there are three hundred warrior battalions here, and there are two hundred people brought by Chen Kaizhi.
These people are brought from Feiyu Peak, and soon, they began to be in place, there are special blacksmith shops and various military facilities in the city, at least this blacksmith shop can be used, and now the furnace in the blacksmith has begun to be transformed, and more than a dozen craftsmen have been brought here, planning to change this place into a low-level version of the ironshop, of course, there is no precision firecracker here, but it can collect the swords of the defeated soldiers in the city, as well as the ordnance stored here, and all of them are refurnace to make cannonballs and various weapons.
Gunpowder here is also specially collected to supply military supplies.
The medical hall was also in place, and several doctors and a dozen apprentices had already begun to collect medicinal materials in the city.
In addition, the government soldiers in Jibei, a total of more than 1,000 people, have also been rearranged and used as auxiliaries...... Ouch shouted trumpets and lifted the cannon up the walls.
In fact, the Northern Yan Army also had artillery in the city fortress, but this artillery was too inferior, even if it was used, it would be a waste of manpower, so it was directly returned to the furnace and re-refined steel.
In addition, there are nearly 1,000 officials of Jibei Prefecture, Chen Kaizhi can proudly announce that in this city of one or two kilometers square, the per capita management coefficient has surpassed the six countries and is the best in the world.
The scribes were assigned to count the grain and grass in the city, inspect the treasury, and the servants were used as auxiliaries and to maintain order in the city.
As for the officials, let the sad-faced Li Dongzheng lead, and stand by for the time being, just don't add to the chaos.
Now everyone must be in the same boat, this city is broken, and those Northern Yan troops who have suffered losses will definitely be angry and angry to slaughter the city indiscriminately, Li Dong is convinced of this, so although he was forced, but now when he realized that his fate was stuffed with this city, he took the initiative to ask: "Governor, I don't know what the officials and others can do?" Is it to equip the lower officials with some swords, and in the event of an emergency, the lower officials and others can also go into battle to kill the enemy. ”
"You?" Chen Kaizhi was first surprised by Li Dongzheng's proposal, and then smiled bitterly: "Master Li, why don't you sleep during the day and be responsible for patrolling the night at night, oh, and, will you do it by hand?" This is delicate work, you have to wrap bags of gunpowder, mixed with iron sand and steel balls, and you take people to make it. ”
Now that everyone has entered the city, Chen Kaizhi directly ordered someone to put away the suspension bridge, this small city fortress is already overcrowded, with more than 2,000 people, and it looks like a golden soup.
Those who wanted to be lucky realized that they had no way out, and they looked desperately at the fortress surrounded by the river, and they were in the middle of it, and they had ...... There's no choice.
And the warrior battalion is obviously completely different from these officials who are a little depressed, and they all look energetic.
They gathered together in groups of three or five and began to convey Chen Kaizhi's orders, Xu Jie happily wiped the muzzle of the cannon on the fort, he looked very serious, and said to a few Qiu Ba around him: "The governor said, this time, the Northern Yan army suffered a big loss, so it must be a retaliatory siege, many of their siege equipment has not had time to be transported, but because they are eager to take down the city and find their face, they must rely on the number of people to attack, so this time, we must beat them, the more painful the better, only so, so that they can know how good we are. ”
"Because of this, this artillery is the top priority, all with flowering shells..."
"What else did the Governor say?"
"I want to think about it." Xu Jie began to think about it, and tried to think about it for a long time before continuing: "Du Du looked at the two horses in the horse pen, and he said: 'Spring has arrived, and it is the season for the animals to pay PEI again'. ”
So everyone searched their intestines and scraped their stomachs, pondered and meditated, and these words ...... What's the mystery?
"Someone!" At this time, Xu Jie suddenly yelled.
But at this moment, just north of the fortress, a group of cavalry appeared on the horizon.
It was the cavalry, the cavalry of the Northern Yan.
It's been two days, and in the past two days, Chen Kaizhi has been making various arrangements intensively, and the Northern Yan Army has finally reacted.
Of course, their large army has not yet arrived so quickly, but the scouts and rangers who go first will definitely arrive.
Instead of approaching the city, the rangers walked around the fortress, and then began to unconsciously converge towards the stone bridge.
Chen Kaizhi had already gotten the news, he hurriedly went up to the city wall, his eyes were staring at those cavalry tightly, but he smiled slightly, the revenge of the Northern Yan Army was really heavy.
Hundreds of rangers rushed to the stone bridge in unison, and the purpose was self-evident.
They obviously didn't plan to let the people in the fortress cross the river and return to Chendi.
Thinking about it, their purpose was to completely annihilate the Chen army in the city fortress to set an example.
This is almost exactly in line with Chen Kaizhi's prediction.
In the past two days, after observation, it was found that the city fortress was attacked, and the other parts of the Chen army did not take any action, so they believed that this was just Chen Kaizhi's accidental action, not a full-scale attack by the Great Chen court.
At this time, they still have trouble in the east, not to mention that the alliance between the countries has not yet begun, since it is impossible for the two countries to mobilize troops on a large scale, in order to retaliate, directly annihilating Chen Kaizhi is obviously the best and fastest solution.
However, they didn't know that Chen Kaizhi didn't plan to leave at all, he was waiting for them to come here.
"So...... Come on! ”
Chen Kaizhi's eyes were bright, and he yelled directly at the ranger at the stone bridge.
The guards behind him knew that this was an intermittent attack of Chen Dudu's nerves, so they didn't mind.
………………
Beiyan, Yanjing!
A letter of express has been quickly delivered to Dayan's Kyoto, with the express in his hand, the young son of heaven has been so angry that his lips are blue, he almost fell to the ground, and then said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable." What a damn one! ”
Suddenly, he thought of something, and remembered what Mr. Fang said, the catastrophe is in the south.
Could this ...... Is that what Mr. Fang said?
Sky!
His eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said, "Get up and go to Honglu Temple." ”
Now, he had too many doubts in his heart, and he had to go to Mr. Fang to ask for clarification.
As soon as there was movement in the palace, and Dayan's civil and military officials immediately received the news, many people came to see them, and when the Son of Heaven left the palace, he saw that there were many people waiting outside the palace gate with bated breath.
"What are you doing here?" The young Son of Heaven does not like to ride, but likes to ride horses, at this time he is riding a royal horse, behind him are a team of forbidden troops...
The Metropolitan Governor Yan Jiuling stepped forward with a solemn face and said, "Your Majesty is looking for that Da Chen's envoy again?" Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a conspiracy of Da Chen, obviously, this envoy and Chen Jun of that Zhangqiu have already passed the news...... This ......"
The young Tianzi sneered and glared at him coldly: "You mean to say that they had already planned to raid my Dayan's border town, and that Mr. Fang deliberately revealed the news to me, right?" ”
“……”
Suddenly, this Yan Jiuling didn't know how to answer.
That's right, since they want to attack Dayan's side stopper, why do they have to reveal the news in advance? I also specially told you that these Yan people said that there was a catastrophe coming in the south, and that Dayan should be careful to take precautions, which ...... Isn't there a brain disease?
"What's more, I heard that this is the reckless move of the warrior battalion, the monarchs and ministers of the Chen State don't know about it, this is all a secret report from the scout, that person named Chen Kaizhi is really bold, but you don't want to think about it, his move, even their court was hidden by him, he and Mr. Fang have no relatives and no reason, why did he have to disclose the news to Mr. Fang in advance? Don't you still believe Mr. Fang? ”
Yan Jiuling still said distrustfully: "But...... Why does Your Majesty think that Mr. Fang will be honest with His Majesty? Your Majesty, don't forget that he is Da Chen's envoy. ”
"Because ......" the young Son of Heaven was about to blurt out, because in his eyes, I was the one chosen by God, just like Jiang Ziya chose King Wen of Zhou!
But this almost said the words, or he swallowed them into his stomach, and now the six countries check and balance each other, if he says these things directly, it will not only arouse the suspicion of all countries, make all countries think that Beiyan has the ambition of annexing the world, so that people can strengthen their defense against Beiyan, and even be willing to make Beiyan be besieged by other countries.
So he sneered, "Mr. Xinfang." ”
