Chapter 126: A stampede caused by a hot air balloon
Early the next morning, Qingzhou Mansion was once again caught in the middle of chickens and dogs, unlike the last time the group drills were in a hurry, this time the Red Lotus Sect's attack was made a huge momentum.
The so-called Red Lotus Sect, although nominally the sect's escort armament, was extremely scarce in high-quality fighting talents in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, so it could only put the new armor knives and guns that had just been produced on a group of honest peasants.
Not long ago, the gang had been hungry, had only been on a bun of food for a few months, and their military training was nothing more than picking up a shield and stabbing a spear in their hand.
However, the people of the entire Qingzhou Mansion did not feel that they were a weak army. Judging from the appearance of their Kui Ming, this must be a strong team, even Chai Yinbin and Tan Yixun are like this.
Hiding in civilian clothes in a wine shop on the side of the street, Chai Yinbin's face was full of melancholy. Tan Yixun didn't know why his owner showed such an expression, and asked tentatively.
"The proprietor is worried that he won't win?"
Chai Yinbin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "With such military morale, it is difficult not to win." The other side is nothing more than a rabble, how can it be their opponent. ”
Not being an opponent made Chai Yinbin even more uneasy. But he wasn't going to say it yet. said that Kang Ning's ambitions are high, that is certain, and many people can see that this young talent must be a not simple character.
But who would believe that he was preparing a rebellion? Do you have proof?
Chai Yinbin actually felt it for a long time, purely in terms of the energy of officialdom, this Kang Ning may even be stronger than himself.
Even if he is behind Shi Ziming, a young and promising generation of grandmasters, he must also pay attention to the current situation that their Huishang Group has been cutting and messing with the ministers.
If you don't want to make a fuss about yourself, you have to pay attention when you speak.
What's more, Kang Ning is still himself, as well as a young talent recognized by his mentor Shi Ziming. This is to cultivate talents who will become the backbone of the Xiya Party in the future. Wouldn't it be a pity if I really ruined him.
Maybe in the future, if you are mixed up in one organization, you can find an opportunity to save Corning.
The young Chai Yinbin still has the ideal of turning the tide in his heart.
After a long silence, Chai Yinbin turned and left. Tan Yixun was very excited about this grand scene. When he was a teenager, he also looked forward to the future of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and he saw those war records from the history books. It made him even more excited.
However, before, he had never had the opportunity to see the real iron-blooded military soul, and until today, it can be regarded as a feast for the eyes.
Just when he was admiring, Chai Yinbin ran back in a panic and shouted at him: "Go find Brother An Shixian, there is a mess in Jinan Mansion." ”
Tan Yixun exclaimed, and immediately ran to Kangning's mansion.
After a while, Kangning took Zhuge Liang with him. Under the leadership of Tan Yixun, he came to the prefect's yamen.
"What happened?"
"Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun are reversed!"
These are two names that have basically never been heard of, but combined with the current situation, Kang Ning almost immediately determined that they were Wang Sen's subordinates.
"It's really non-stop." Zhuge Liang said behind them, "But the lord once told me that their organization is spread across half of the Ming Dynasty. The hell knows if there's someone else......"
Before he could finish his sentence, a post man rushed in. Kneeling on the ground reported: "Beijing Urgent News! Wang Tinggui, the head of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, gathered believers and attacked the government. Xu Yingzhou, the head of Xi'an Mansion in Shaanxi, responded with troops. ”
Zhuge Liang smacked his lips. Glancing at Kang Ning, he seemed to be a little gloating and said, "It seems that the old emperor can't sleep anymore." ”
Kangning said with some seriousness: "Don't laugh, it's not good for us to make things too big." This is especially true at this critical juncture of severe drought. ”
Zhuge Liang knew what Kangning was trying to say. The old emperor's idea was actually in the long-term interests of Kangning. If more traversers can be paralyzed, then for Corning, the greater the advantage.
But Chai Yinbin didn't know what Kangning was thinking, because he didn't know anything about Kangning and the old emperor. There is a certain degree of tacit understanding. So he was just in a hurry, and said at a loss: "It's okay now." The emperor asked our Qingzhou Mansion to be responsible for dispatching a regiment to exterminate the White Lotus Sect. It is difficult to go on an expedition to Shanxi for a generation. We don't have much food. ”
Kangning suddenly laughed: "How could my brother have such an idea. Even if the deputy envoy was assassinated under your rule, the emperor would not use this method to punish the people of Qingzhou Mansion. ”
Chai Yinbin patted his head and hurriedly said: "Brother Xian is very reasonable, Brother Fool really wants to go wrong." Your Majesty if the punishment comes down. At most, take my black hat. ”
Corning comforted: "Actually, brother doesn't have to worry. I still say the same thing, Your Majesty dispatched our gang to practice, in fact, he wanted to describe this rebellion as a conflict between sects. This is not to make people feel that Daming has reached the age of tomb. It's okay for those young people to honestly continue to lie in their original nests. ”
Chai Yinbin nodded. Kang Ning had expressed similar meaning to him, but when he saw Shi Ziming's official letter, it was still difficult for him to accept the fact that a newly established regiment was used to quell the rebellion.
After telling the messenger who came to report the news to go down to receive the reward, Kang Ning discussed with Chai Yinbin the White Lotus Sect force that might affect Qingzhou Mansion.
Wang Tinggui or Xu Yingzhou. They're all far away from here. Li Chunfang of Yizhou is the top priority. Even Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun from Jinan Mansion are actually just one of the dishes that the group trainers have to deal with.
After getting the urgent report from Jinan Mansion, Shi Ziming, who was still patrolling outside, hurried back to Jinan Mansion, but his speed was not as good as that of the group practitioners.
Originally, it was necessary to cross the northern border of Jinan Mansion to go to Luanzhou, but after Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun reversed, the group trainers only slightly adjusted the route of travel, and pounced in the direction of Jinan Mansion.
Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun's appetite is really not small, they can't even look down on the nearby prefectures and counties, so they go directly to Fucheng.
More than 100,000 simply armed cultists, for the sake of the illusory founding of the country, set up a ladder like a mad dog and began to attack the city.
"A group of rabble, I really thought that I could help Wang Sen sit on the throne of the Ninety-Five. Joke! ”
On the head of the city of Jinan. Sun Yuanhua, a staff member invited by Shi Ziming with great effort, happened to be looking at the White Lotus Sect members who were besieging the city.
"I didn't want to hurt the innocent, but you insisted on being a thief. Haven't you ever thought about how your parents, wives and children will live after losing you? Hey......"
Sun Yuanhua shook his head and sighed as he slowly raised his hand.
After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Boiling oil." Pour! ”
Originally, the important matter of defending the city, even if Shi Ziming was not in Jinan City, it would not be Sun Yuanhua's turn to be in charge. However, the officials in Jinan City, big and small, all knew that Sun Yuanhua's secret weapon had been practiced with the strong support of Shi Ziming.
Dealing with this group of rabble, everyone thought that they were completely sure, and some officials even suggested that Sun Yuanhua should not let the militaristic weapons be known to outsiders. It's better not to use it as a last resort.
Sun Yuanhua adopted this suggestion, and he also wanted to use his secret weapon to seek greater credit for himself in future wars.
Therefore, at the beginning, he did not use the killer weapon, and not only could not bear to hurt the ignorant people.
A pot of boiling oil was poured down the ladder, and the sound of a ghost crying wolf howl came into Sun Yuanhua's ears.
His heart seemed to be being cut into pieces of barbecue meat by a knife, and he almost started a campfire to barbecue.
And yet this is war. Although the enemy is a rabble, it cannot change the essence of war.
After a wave of attacks was easily repulsed. Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun immediately organized the next wave of attacks. But to their surprise, their men had barely climbed halfway up the ladder when they were frightened by the dropping torches.
These ladders had just been drenched in oil, and everyone knew what would happen when the torches lit them.
As a result, all the people who climbed the ladder were frightened. Some people even jumped off the high ladder because they were in a hurry to run for their lives. Broke a leg.
However, the ladder did not burn, and after the torches were thrown, only some hay was ignited.
Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun were furious, and kicked over one of their subordinates. scolded loudly: "What are you afraid of, those torches are not burning at all, what are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you rush over? ”
However, at this time, a team appeared behind them that was far from comparable to them, but its momentum was not inferior to theirs.
Sun Yuanhua, who was sitting at the head of the city, raised his eyebrows, sighed and said, "I originally intended to release Sheng'er, but the killing of the gods has come." ”
He saw the banner of Qingzhou Mansion Tuanlian, and he also knew that the order received by Qingzhou Tuanlian was only four words: Break the thief as soon as possible. The official document from the capital, when he was in the southern mansion of the economy, Sun Yuanhua had also read it.
He didn't know why this group training team had become the choice of the princes of Gong, but he knew that this team had recently absorbed a lot of Xu Hongru's things. Mr. Ziming once said that Xu Hongru would inevitably rebel in the future. From that time, he began to wonder, why did Xu Hongru rebel?
Is it the same as Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun, relying on a group of rabble?
No kidding. He Sun Yuanhua has not used half a point, and this rabble is already unstable.
However, the facts stunned Sun Yuanhua.
The PLO led his battalion at the head of the line, and they had already seen the enemy's buttocks, but were told by the heralds to rest in place.
The PLO, who was going to lead his brothers in a surprise attack and kick him in the enemy's ass, was so angry that he scolded his mother.
When the herald saw that the situation was not good, he was immediately so frightened that he ran away, but luckily did not become a punching bag for the PLO.
However, when the delicious food was brought to the PLO, he, who was still angry just now, immediately threw his anger at the Java country, oh no, Antarctica.
After filling his stomach with potatoes and roast meat, PLO prepared to lie comfortably on the ground and rest for a while, and as soon as he lay down, he immediately bounced up, because there was a monster floating in the sky in his vision.
The PLO didn't notice the guy just now because of his concentration or angle, but now, his eyeballs are all about it.
The soldiers around him didn't have to look up to know what the PLO had seen that surprised him. The first scene of every regimental training soldier when they saw this thing was the same expression that the PLO is now.
After a long time, the PLO turned his gaze back, and when he saw that the soldiers around him were not as curious as he was, he knew that the soldiers must know what this thing was, so she opened her mouth and asked, "What is this thing?" ”
The quick-talking soldier couldn't help it, and immediately replied: "That's called a hot air balloon." I heard that when Gongzi was in Beijing, I heard a student from Xiya Academy talk about it. When he came back, he set out to send someone to build it. Later, Xu Hongru also brought some craftsmen over, and after solving some problems, he made this thing. ”
Palma held his head high and muttered, "I see." ”
It's just that he didn't know that Corning didn't just hear from some scholar about the hot air balloon he built. As a time-traveler, he knows what is closest to the current love productivity, but can bring enough shock to the world. It's just that in order not to reveal his identity as a traverser, he borrowed the identity of Shi Ziming's student, who let Shi Ziming also put forward the idea of a hot air balloon, but there are too few people with strong hands-on ability under him, and the experiment was not successful.
"Teacher, what you envisioned has been man-made."
At the head of the city, Sun Yuanhua was also muttering to himself. He knew that the purpose of hot air balloons on the battlefield was nothing more than to condescendingly observe the formation of enemy troops. If I had to say that there was any collateral effect, it would be to cause panic to the enemy.
For example, the rebel army under the city.
Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun never expected that a monster suddenly appeared on the opposite side, although they were held by a rope like paper mandarin birds, but the appearance of the green-faced fangs easily caused the people around them to panic.
The PLO looked around for a while, then lowered his head and asked, "What kind of monster is painted on it, so terrifying?" ”
The soldier replied, "Childe said it was painted casually." Whoever has a ghost in his heart will be afraid, and those of us who go out on a campaign for His Majesty do not need to be afraid of those things. ”
At this time, the chaos in Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun's camp had intensified, and the soldier continued to explain to PLO while chewing potato cubes: "Look, there is already chaos over there. ”
Sun Yuanhua could see clearly in the city, Zhang Ci and Wang Dachun could no longer suppress the bullets, some advocated escaping, but others were ready to fight. The two sides argued, and those who wanted to escape simply took action, but were stopped by the court-martial team.
Large-scale clashes ensued between the two sides. Serious stampedes followed. Before the group drills could make a move, a large area of the enemy had already fallen to the ground.
Eventually, some of the congregants rushed out. It's just that an official at the head of the city immediately reminded Sun Yuanhua that if the tiger returns to the mountain and stays in Qingzhou Mansion to practice and leave, Jinan Mansion is likely to be surrounded again.
Sun Yuanhua had no choice but to order: "Go out of the city and pursue!" ********! (To be continued.) )
