Chapter 227: Those who know the times are Junjie
This night, the three of them were drunk like mud, and when it was dawn, the guard sergeant waited for a long time and did not see anyone come out, and did not dare to go in to see, until a few generals who were waiting for the emperor to give orders could not bear it, and carefully pushed the door of the side hall open a gap, only to find that the three people in the hall rolled into a ball, hugged a pile, and were paralyzed into a thin mud like a snoring and sleeping, the house was full of wine, more than a dozen wine jars were rolling all over the ground, God knows how much the father and son drank last night. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
When they saw the sergeant carry out the corpse of Zhang Xianzhong's wife and concubine from the inner courtyard, the governors were surprised, and they all had a sense of impending disaster, and their eyes were full of complicated expressions, perhaps, it was time to consider their own retreat.
The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and the city is about to be destroyed.
Guangyuan's chaos and panic will shroud the entire Daxi Kingdom in the Y shadow of the destruction of the country, this dangerous situation, in the Baoning Mansion separated from Guangyuan by a mountain, can be clearly felt.
The news of the defeat of Hanzhong, like the spring breeze blowing through the grassland, with a strong smell of blood, quickly spread all over the land of Sichuan, tea shops, restaurants, streets and alleys in various states and counties, in the next few days, there were people everywhere with panicked faces gathered to talk, there was no shortage of good people in the painting of the Tartar soldiers are all gods descended to earth, Shura reincarnated, taking people's lives as easy as exploring the bag and taking things, and demons help each other, shamans accompany each other, irresistible.
The fragile rule of the Great Western Kingdom in Sichuan almost immediately collapsed, in addition to Chengdu is still under control, there are landlords and gentry in various places The old men of the Ming Dynasty rebelled, such as the fire of the prairie burned all over the land of Tianfu, and the governor of Baoning Mansion was like sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't eat the food he was worried about.
In addition to these, what made him even more upset was that the divine dragon saw the head and the tail, and since more than a month ago, the Kuizhou army that had infiltrated Boryeong Mansion had not been able to find a trace, and they had slipped around under the city of Boryeong Mansion before entering the vast mountains and disappeared.
Li impatiently slapped the iron Ruyi on the table on his thigh, there was an old wound there, it was itchy at the turn of winter and spring, and it had to be beaten hard to alleviate it.
The double torture of the spirit and the R body made **** Li upset, and he was about to go out for a walk, maybe he could feel better if he was breathable, and when he stood up, he heard a commotion outside the door, and it seemed that someone was shouting loudly.
The Governor's Mansion is heavy, how can it be noisy! Littonjue found the punching bag, and his anger skyrocketed by three points, and he stood outside the door with angry eyebrows, and scolded as soon as he opened his mouth: "Who the doesn't have long eyes? What a noise! Want to eat a whip? β
I saw a group of soldiers escorting a ragged and panicked homeless person into the courtyard, and the soldiers pushed and rubbed and scolded and scolded, and kicked the man in front of **** Li.
Leigh frowned and asked, "Who is this person?" β
The leader of the soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Governor, this person shouted outside the gate of the mansion, saying that he was an envoy of the Ming Dynasty and came to recruit the governor of Andu, and the little one saw that he was crazy, and wanted to beat him to death, but unexpectedly, this person was a fool, yelling and yelling, disturbing the peace of the governor. β
"Envoy?" Interesting! The anger in Li's chest suddenly went to three points, and he became curious, and first looked at the person who had just gotten up from the ground to wipe the nosebleed, only to feel that this person's eyes were dull and numb, and he really looked like a fool, but how did a fool know how to be an envoy?
He knocked the iron ruyi in his hand on the man's head, and asked casually, "Who asked you to be an envoy?" β
"It was Lord Kuizhou who asked me to come." The fool said dumbfoundedly: "Give me three steamed buns, and say that as long as you meet the big officials here, you will give me more steamed buns." β
Lord Wang? Liton is not calm, he already knows the name of Wang Huan of Kuizhou, I heard that this person is both civil and military, the God of Wealth is down to earth, and the management and training of soldiers are unparalleled in the world, he is a strong opponent, as the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, not to mention that Daxi and the Ming Dynasty are opposites, there is such a number one person in Sichuan, and it is so close to the **** Li Town, how to make the **** Li not care?
"Where is this person?" Sharp hands grabbed the man's torn shirt and roared.
The fool stared at him blankly, speechless.
Li came back to his senses, this was a fool, so he had to hold back his anger and patiently asked, "Who gave you the steamed bun?" Where is he? β
The fool shook his head and said with a smile: "That man is gone, he said that if the big officials here see me, they will definitely be angry and grab my clothes, he is right!" β
The fool reached out and touched it from his pocket, and grinned: "He also said that when you become an envoy, you will submit your credentials, let me give this to the senior official, and the senior official is you, right?" Here you go. β
Leigh was almost crazy, he felt deeply insulted by his intelligence, and threw the letter that the fool had taken out to the ground with a fierce split, and roared: "Throw this guy out, and beat him to death!" β
At this moment, a huge roar sounded in the sky, and the whole city suddenly trembled, and the tiles on the roof fell straight down, and the trees trembled, as if a meteorite had hit the city of Boryeong.
Everyone was stunned, **** Li looked around in a hurry, unable to understand what was happening, but heard the fool laugh and shouted: "That person is right again, he said that the big official wants to beat me, tell me not to be afraid, there is a thunder to help me, it is really like this!" β
Seeing the appearance of the fool Shinto, the soldiers were a little frightened and hesitated, this loud noise was too scary for them to be afraid.
Leigh relented a little later, looked at the fool, and shouted, "Take him down, lock him up, torture him, and ask him where the man who gave him the letter is!" β
Before the words fell, they heard a sound at the gate, someone broke through the door and broke in, and everyone looked at it, but it was a deputy general guarding the city.
The adjutant general's face was pale, and he stumbled straight in front of **** Li, and shouted in panic: "Governor, the big thing is not good, the Ming army is here and blew up a section of the city wall outside the north gate!" β
Li was startled, it was not trivial, his face was green, he grabbed the placket of the adjutant general like an anti-S, and roared like a fool: "The Ming army in the brigade? What do you eat, and why do you only find out now? β
The deputy general grabbed him, couldn't breathe, and shouted with his breath: "Dudu, you better go to the city and have a look." β
He shook him off with a snort, turned around and strode out of the courtyard, halfway through, then turned back and picked up the letter he had just thrown away on the ground, thought for a moment, and put it in his sleeve.
A group of people hurriedly rushed to the north gate, all the way but the people in the city were panicked, and they hurriedly ran home, and the shops on the street were closed, looking like a catastrophe was coming.
Li Xin was even more anxious, and when he arrived at the north gate, he gasped before he could get closer.
On the side of the north gate, a section of rammed earth city wall with a length of four or five zhang is like a piece of tofu that has been broken by an iron rod, it collapses and is not visible, the earth and gravel are all over the ground, several broken corpses are mixed in the soil, looming, although the city wall of Boryeong is not as solid as Chengdu, but it is also rammed with clay mixed mortar, and the general black powder is not buried under the wall, and it is impossible to blow up such a big hole.
Li yelled at a group of soldiers standing on the side with a dark face: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go and find the rough wooden fence and wait for the Ming army to come in and cut off your heads? β
The soldiers hurriedly went, and the **** snorted and walked through the dirt all over the ground, came to the wall, looked out of the city with fear, and saw a white military formation.
Five hundred steps away from the collapsed city wall, just at the limit of the S range of the Furlong machine gun on the city, a Kuizhou military formation was firmly placed there, looking at it, it seemed to be waiting for something.
Li Bai touched the section of the wall, and stomped his feet on the ground, a little incredible, it seems that this place did not dig a tunnel to bury explosives and collapsed.
He suddenly rushed to his brain again, and pulled the deputy general guarding the city who was following him over and scolded: "Are you ****** blind or are you hiding in the camp and drinking?" The Ming army didn't know that all the explosives were transported to the city, believe it or not, Lao Tzu's marching method cut off your head! β
The deputy general cried with a sad face and called out: "Wronged, Dudu, knowing that the Ming army is haunted in Baoning Mansion, the last general has been guarding the city and has not dared to slack off, and the explosives that blew up the city wall were not transported by the Ming army, but they smashed them." β
"Smash it?" Li was stunned.
The adjutant general pointed his hand and said, "Governor, you see, they smashed it with a return cannon." β
Li was stunned and looked in the direction of the adjutant general's finger, and sure enough, he saw that in front of the white-robed Kuizhou military formation, three trebuchets were erected there, and a group of soldiers were busy, loading something on the counterweight frame of the trebuchet, which was too far away to see clearly.
"They smashed the explosives with the return cannon?" Leigh didn't believe it: "You're dazzled, aren't you?" β
I don't believe that the gunpowder weapons that can blow up the city wall are not nothing, but they are definitely not the firearms thrown by the wooden structure of the wooden structure of the most small return guns on the opposite side can be blown up, look at the size of those return guns, and the thunderbolt ball of fifty catties can be thrown out of the sky, and fifty catties of black powder can blow up the city wall? Tease me, huh?
"Really, Dudu, believe it or not, they're going to throw it again!" The deputy general was afraid that **** Li would not believe it, so he shouted happily.
The trebuchet on the opposite side was busy with the group of soldiers, and the rod was pressed down again, and it was obvious that he was about to send something, and the **** Li didn't have time to scold the deputy general for being an idiot, so he quickly lowered his body, anyway, it is necessary to be careful.
But luckily, only one of the three return guns threw S out of a dusty package-like thing, which was not very big, and the direction of throwing S was also towards another section of the city wall dozens of steps away from the collapsed wall, **** Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the breath was finished, the dusty cloth bag-like thing with "poof" straight sparks, accurately fell to the edge of the city wall, the cloth bag seemed to be coated with thick black ointment on three sides, very sticky, jumped on the wall bricks a few times, did not bounce off, fell under the root of the city wall, and exploded.
This time, the **** Li is witnessed what is called the collapse of the sky, the deafening loud noise made him temporarily deaf, accompanied by a puff of black smoke, rocks flying, bursting dirt splashed a hundred steps away, the strong yellow explosives completely wiped out the three-zhang long earthen wall, and the original towering wall turned into fly ash and disappeared.
"Governor, Governor, the last general is not dazzled, the Ming army really smashed the explosives!" The lieutenant was probably blown up stupid and screamed.
Li ignored him and stood in place, and it took a long time to recover from the shock.
Mu Ran looked at the Ming army in the distance for a while, **** Li suddenly remembered something, and took out the letter sent by the fool from his sleeve, tore open the envelope that had not written anything, and pulled out the letterhead.
There is only one line of words on the white paper.
"Those who know the times are Junjie!"
The cursive script of the dragon flying and phoenix dance is very chic, smooth and pleasing to the viewer's eyes.
However, in the eyes of **** Li, it is as bitter as a Chinese medicine that is difficult to swallow.
There are 3,000 soldiers in the city, and about half of them are capable of fighting a battle, and the Ming army on the opposite side is probably so many.
The situation is very clear, the Ming army should dismount by itself, and the letter is here to surrender, so, war or surrender?
Liben was born in the Ming army, and the Yulin garrison position, surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong due to defeat. At this moment, I thought about it, compared each other's strengths and weaknesses, thought about the news from Hanzhong, and then looked at the city wall that was bombed into a fence, and made up my mind very happily.
"Go, take off your clothes and armor." Li quickly took off the brocade robe he was wearing, and shouted to the people around him: "All wear plain clothes, follow the general anyway!" β
Ma Xintian on the opposite side was very leisurely, but the expression on his face was still a poker face that others owed him three hundred taels of silver, serious and rigid, but when he saw a group of Daxi generals in plain clothes and green clothes walking over unarmed, a smile still appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There is an artifact developed by adults, and fighting a war is simple.
