Chapter 221: The Siege
"This food street has expanded a lot, when Lang Jun was here, there was only the main street here, and now there are two side streets on each side, Lang Jun said that they did not destroy the plan, so that this place looks more beautiful."
Walking on this street, the wide street, the thriving flow of people, like smoke and silk, they feel as if they have walked to the street of Chang'an. And it seems to be a lot prettier here, and it looks a little better.
The houses on both sides are two-story houses built with cement, all with glass windows, which looks eye-catching. In addition to the main road in the middle of the carriage, there are sidewalks separated by trees on both sides of the street, and the ground is all paved with cement.
Although there are a lot of people coming and going, the floor is not dirty, and there are often people cleaning it when you want to come here. The drains on both sides did not store any sewage, and they were washed very cleanly, and the people here had experienced some of Li Hao's edification, and they also knew how to pay attention to hygiene.
"I don't know if Lang Jun will go to Yuelu Mountain to have a look, if he doesn't have time to go, we will go over and see for ourselves then." Wu Shun and a few people were walking around Tanzhou City, followed by a few guards. Otherwise, Li Hao wouldn't worry about letting them out to play, these are all beautiful women, who knows if the ancient people would play hooligans.
"Is that Lang Jun who wrote about parking and sitting in love with the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are red in the February flowers of Yuelu Mountain? You can go to see that place, and I heard that the head of Orange Island is also good. "After a few years, Tanzhou has changed a lot, and it is estimated that Li Ke has spent a lot of effort in this city to rectify.
Compared with a few years ago, when Li Hao and the others came here, there are more people in Tanzhou, but there are also more new houses. The main roads in the city are all cement roads, and according to Li Hao, there are separate lanes to drive back and forth. Hygiene and the environment are also very important, and the maintenance is also good.
This city already has the basic conditions of a modern city in later generations, and if you add street lights and vehicles, the cities of later generations will not be able to compare with here. Flash Dance. After seeing this city, a few girls liked it a little, but this was not their destination.
"Well, it's that Yuelu Mountain. Lang Jun and King Wu drank and recited poetry together in the Aiwan Pavilion I don't know if it's still there, but at this time, I can't see the frost leaves that are red in February, and that can only be seen in autumn. ”
"It's a pity that we won't stay long this time, otherwise we can go to Yuezhou to have fun. There are eight hundred miles of Dongting over there, as well as a whole fish banquet, and there is a Yueyang Tower with Lang Jun as a preface. We didn't have Yueyang Tower last time, if only we could take a look. ”
Li Hao stayed in Tanzhou for four or five days, and he went to see it on the other side of Yuelu Mountain. It's just that they went with Li Ke, Wushun and the others still arranged their own actions, and Li Hao couldn't spare time to accompany them.
The Yuelu Academy and the New Oriental School at the foot of the mountain here are all things that Li Hao once worked hard to run, and now Li Hao has to draw some useful people from here to take them to Lingnan, so he naturally wants to come over. For Li Hao, Lingnan is undoubtedly a completely undeveloped wasteland.
In fact, in addition to Yuelu Academy here, there are many workshops in Li Mansion here, and Manting Xiang is also. It's just that Li Hao didn't come to check his family property, Li Hao only went to eat with Li Ke a few times, and he didn't look at the business here.
There is no free time, and the business here is running well, making a lot of money for Chang'an every year, and the accounts are clear, Li Hao naturally doesn't need to care much.
However, there are a few improved dishes here, and a few new dishes have come out, which makes Li Hao feel a little surprised. Because these dishes are even recognized by the system, Li Hao has added a lot of points, but these dishes are not made by Li Hao.
Li praised a few chefs in Mantingxiang, and the rewards should be the same. The rule of 35xs has always been there, and those who have made great contributions, whether it is in invention and creation, or making money or in a certain aspect, Li Fu will give rewards.
And because of the system, Li Hao doesn't have to worry about what these teenagers he has cultivated will do that endanger him, because he can feel the harm and benefits to himself on the side of the system.
After the young generals of the Royal Military Academy brought their soldiers together, Li Hao continued to rush south with grain, grass and soldiers. Li Ke is right, now from Tanzhou to the south, cement roads have indeed been built, so cars and people are walking very fast.
All the way to Nanling, because of this reason, the road behind has become a mud road, which is much more difficult to walk than before. This also slowed down the trip, slowing down the speed of more than 10,000 people. At this time, they met a distress caller on the road in the direction of Chang'an, and Guangzhou was in an emergency!
"How many people are besieging Guangzhou?" After Li Hao saw the people asking for help, he asked them curiously, now that even Guangzhou is surrounded, it seems that there is a lot of trouble. Do these people know that they are coming, and that they are welcome?
"There are hundreds of thousands of people, all of whom are from nearby Shanyue. The black pressure enclosed the entire Guangzhou Mansion. "The person who asked for help was a petty official in Guangzhou Prefecture, although there were not many regular troops on the Guangzhou Mansion, it was obviously very difficult for hundreds of thousands of people to attack the city.
I'm afraid most of the reason why these people are so panicked is because the city here hasn't suffered this for a long time, and they're scared! Hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people, they can scare people to death just by looking at it, let alone being besieged by them.
"Leave 5,000 people to guard the grain, grass and family, and then enter the Shaozhou Mansion. The others followed me, and we bypassed Shaozhou Mansion and went directly to Guangzhou Mansion! Li Hao thought for a while, and then said to a few of his subordinates, hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people, this water is a bit high, Li Hao really doesn't believe it.
However, it is estimated that there should be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, for Li Hao, bringing 10,000 people over and bringing 5,000 people over is actually about the same effect, and it is impossible for him to take these people to kill them directly. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Shanyue people is very poor, but the victory lies in the number of people, once their five thousand people fall in, it will be dangerous.
Several young generals from the Datang Military Academy have been in the army, and they are still the kind of outstanding officers who were transferred to the military academy to study. Therefore, for such a thing as fighting, they did not panic, and arranged people in an orderly manner according to Li Hao's instructions.
"Lang Jun, you must pay attention to your own safety on the battlefield." When Li Hao was about to leave, several of his women all came over and gave instructions. They waited and followed the rest of the people into Shaozhou Mansion to wait for news, and it was the first time they saw Li Hao wearing armor and riding a high-headed horse on the battlefield.
Every girl will have such a heroic dream in her heart, hoping that her Ruyi Langjun will one day wear a suit of armor and ride a tall horse to meet her. Li Hao is like this now, but he is going to the battlefield, which makes several girls unbearable.
Li Hao smiled, regardless of their embarrassment, hugged everyone once before taking his family to the front together. In addition to dozens of generals with good skills, he also has dozens of young men with good martial arts skills, and he is also responsible for protecting Li Hao's safety when he fights.
This time I took these teenagers to fight, but I didn't find a way for these teenagers to get out of the army. Li Hao had already done this kind of thing when he was conquering Tibet, and now he just brought it by hand, these young people around him, if he has the conditions, Li Hao doesn't mind getting a birth for them.
Those families have the accumulation of several generations and tens or hundreds of years, and it is naturally much easier for them to get the same official position. But Li Hao's side needs to risk his life to Bo, as long as he goes through a few battles, these teenagers can have a background.
Li Hao is ready to use decades to raise his prestige and power, and his plans are naturally very big. Wang Anshi's reputation for 20 years is only for a change, Li Hao has been raising for a longer time than him, cultivating more people than him, and naturally wants more things.
The 5,000 soldiers who went out to battle first were all cavalry, and the southern side was actually not very suitable for cavalry to go out, and there were more wetlands here, especially after arriving near Guangzhou Mansion. But the cavalry used to charge and night attacks worked well, and Li Hao also had this kind of calculation at the beginning.
Add bombs and incendiary bombs in your own hands, and it is best to use them to charge into battle. Li Er doesn't like what is eye-catching, but Li Hao likes to use it very much. How many people in this era can know the power of gunpowder? The sound alone can scare off a group of people, not to mention that this thing still has a certain lethality.
The matter of rushing into battle is not in a hurry, Li Hao has not dealt with the Shanyue people, and he does not know how effective these people are. So after arriving not far from the outskirts of Guangzhou Mansion, Li Hao hid his whereabouts instead, and then sent someone to inquire about the situation outside.
He took a dozen people to the top of a nearby mountain and looked around with a telescope. After looking around, Li Hao probably had a plan in his heart, this is actually just a group of ordinary people with sticks, and the combat effectiveness can be ignored directly.
However, among these people, there are thousands of neat soldiers and horses from CNOO, which makes Li Hao feel good, I am afraid that these thousands of people are the real army of these Shanyue people. After looking around, Li Hao went down the mountain, and the next thing was to wait for the report to go out to investigate the situation.
When it was dark, all the spies who had gone out to inquire about the situation returned, including those who had infiltrated the city. There are now only 5,000 regular soldiers in the entire city of Guangzhou, and the rest are a ragtag army composed of the people in the city and the servants of various families to help defend the city.
However, because the city wall is high, these Shanyue people on the periphery did not attack directly, but surrounded the outside of the city, and then built siege tools. Li Hao: The speed at which they came was too fast, and these Shanyue people were not even ready to attack the city.
