At noon, the scorching sun in the sky dispelled the original coldness, and I could finally feel a trace of warmth on my body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Han Yu, who was standing in front of the barracks stationed at the city gate, quietly listened to Zhang Tanghuai's talk, and had a general understanding of the garrison of the city gate.

Han Yu responded very firmly: "Although there are less than 100 soldiers who can fight, as long as they are defeated, I believe that they will be able to defend the city gate, but I need Brother Zhang to help me!" ”

This year is dazed, every day is like a year, usually idle, but it has simulated the strategy of defending Zhang Xianzhong's siege.

Nowadays, although the Kou army led by Zhang Xianzhong is numerous, it lacks siege equipment and has lost the opportunity to sneak attack.

What's more, the Kou army is far away and eager to win, if it can be used well, it is not impossible to hold Fengyang City.

"How can I help you as a brother?"

Although Zhang Tanghuai was skeptical, he still decided to follow Han Yu's advice.

It would be better if it was just a false alarm, and at most he would be reprimanded by Zhu Shoubei, but if what Han Yu said was true, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Ten trustworthy soldiers are enough!" Han Yu immediately replied, and turned to Zhengse and said, "I also ask Brother Zhang to go to the mansion, but don't mention the news that the Kou army is coming towards Fengcheng." ”

"Brother Han, Zhu Shoubei is busy preparing for the Lantern Festival, I'm afraid it won't..."Zhang Tanghuai explained with a wry smile.

"It's just a hint that once the war starts, I believe that Zhu Shoubei will think of the West City Gate as soon as possible!"

Han Yu naturally knew what the faces of the officials in the late Ming Dynasty were, for them, the city defense patrol official business, where could it be compared to having fun.

The reason why Han Yu insisted on letting Zhang Tanghuai go was just to let Zhu Shoubei know about this matter, in case he was lucky enough to get some support, it would also be good for defending the city.

"In that case, there's no harm in going." Zhang Tanghuai nodded in agreement.

"Please also ask Brother Zhang to supervise the calibration of the artillery position to shoot Zhu Yuan as soon as possible, and prepare the city defense equipment properly!"

"You still need to say this..."Zhang Tanghuai looked at Han Yu and scolded with a smile.

Zhang Tanghuai took Han Yu to the barracks, and immediately recruited two army commanders who were directing the training of the recruits.

The one on the left of the two is fair-skinned, looks tall and thin, and looks like a good strength with light steps.

Wu Chang, who followed behind, had dark skin, a rough and heroic beard, and although he was not tall, his whole body muscles were bulging, and he looked very strong.

"Big-eyed thief, Black Tiger, you two take the soldiers of your department to follow my brother Han Yu, just do whatever you want."

"Mr. Zhang Bai rest assured, I will definitely do things properly!" The fierce captain, nicknamed the Black Tiger, was full of confidence and patted his chest with assurance.

The shrewd, thin and tall Wu Chang remained silent, just hugging his fists and saluting was regarded as receiving his life.

Without further ado, Han Yu said goodbye to his brother and took two captains and ten armor soldiers out of the barracks.

The people who came and went on the bustling street saw the soldiers with swords in their hands come out of the barracks and avoided them one after another.

Although the status of the soldiers at the end of the Ming Dynasty was generally not high, no one dared to offend these barbarians.

"Brother Han, where is your enemy?"

Wu Chang Black Tiger, who was gearing up along the way, suddenly asked Han Yu with a big grin, obviously he was ready to avenge Han Yu.

"Enemy?" Han Yu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't understand what the black tiger was talking about.

"Didn't we come out to fight for you, Brother Han?" Black Tiger's face was dazed, and he muttered secretly in his heart, "It can't be a walk out." ”

In Heihu's opinion, when Han Yu came to find Mr. Zhang Bai, he must have been bullied outside, and he was already ready to beat up those who dared to bully Han Yu.

"Black Tiger, you're still so stupid!" The tall and thin Wu Chang on the side was full of contempt and mocked unceremoniously.

"Brother Han rarely goes out, the ruffians and hooligans in the surrounding neighborhoods, who don't know that he is Zhang Tanghuai's brother, where will there be enmity, we must have other tasks."

"Big-eyed thief, you don't fart to Lao Tzu, if you have the guts, you will start a fight!"

"Heh, I don't beat fools." The slender and tall Wu Chang sneered in response.

"Please calm your anger, the two lords, time is pressing, we must go to the quarry immediately." Han Yu hurriedly started the round and urged him to go to the quarry as soon as possible.

Yishui Quarry is the largest quarry within a radius of 100 miles.

Every year, from the stone favored by the magnates in Fengyang City, but today it has ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

The owner of the farm, Li Quan, did not dare to be careless, and accompanied these officers and soldiers around the quarry, and the two officers seemed to ignore him.

Until the owner Li Quan realized that Han Yu, who was walking in the middle of the team, was the real leader, Li Quan secretly guessed Han Yu's identity, and his attitude became more and more respectful.

"I want these two stones!"

When Han Yu pointed to the two large pieces of embryo stones that were more than ten meters high that had just been excavated, Li Quan hurriedly smiled and planned to explain.

was only unceremoniously interrupted by Han Yu, Li Quan had no choice but to order the boulder to be loaded.

It's just that what shocked Li Quan was that after loading the boulder, a group of armor soldiers actually gathered all the miners and planned to imprison them.

Although the miners were angry in their hearts, they could only obediently enter the room in the face of sharp blades.

Han Yu asked Wu Chang Heihu to take people to guard these miners, and with the joint efforts of the rest of the armor soldiers, the boulder on the cart slowly approached Fengyang City not far away.

At the head of the west city gate of Fengyang, the city gate has long been closed, and some merchants complained, but they did not dare to go against the officials and soldiers.

Zhang Tanghuai, who had just finished urging the artillery to calibrate and shoot Zhu Yuan, explained the matter of city defense to his captain, turned over and rode towards the mansion.

The Lantern Festival is an important festival, and the prefect's mansion at this time has long been decorated with lights.

The invited troupe began to set up the stage, and the luxurious carriages were lined up, and in order to show the friendship of the landlord, the prefect Yan Rongxuan personally greeted him at the door.

The prefect Yan Rongxuan was dressed in a four-grade scarlet robe, with a stunning cloud goose embroidered on the patch on his chest, and an inch of small miscellaneous flowers representing the identity of the fourth grade were embroidered around him.

The so-called complement is a piece of cloth sewn on the chest, embroidered with various patterns, used to show the status of the official.

"You soldier dare to leave his post without permission, can you still want to participate in the banquet in your identity?"

Seeing Zhang Tanghuai riding a horse, the prefect's face sank, and he mocked arrogantly.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the status of civil officials was extremely high, and the status of military attachés was low, in addition to the cabinet of civilians controlling the government and government, and the civilians supervising the war and leading the army, more importantly, the food and grass supplies needed to lead the troops and military generals were in the hands of the civilian officials.

Not to mention that Zhang Tanghuai is just a small Bai Zong, that is, Fengyang garrison Zhu Guoxiang, and Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of the fourth grade, is also casually reprimanded.

"My lord misunderstood, it's just that there are many Kou troops at the moment, so you should be careful." Zhang Tanghuai hugged his fists very casually and responded with a cold face.

Zhang Tanghuai came to find the garrison lord, and he was really not in the mood to meet the high-ranking prefect.

"Bold, are you teaching the official how to do things?!" The prefect's face smiled angrily, and with a wave of his hand, a group of guards from the prefect's mansion quickly rushed over.

"What the hell do you damn kid? Don't apologize to the prefect yet! ”

A big man with bright eyes in armor walked out from the side, stepped forward and kicked Zhang Tanghuai to the ground.

This person is Zhu Guoxiang, the garrison of Fengyang, who has always admired Zhang Tanghuai, and hurriedly played a round in a reprimanding tone.

"What a bad luck!" The prefect snorted coldly, and even ignored Zhu Guoxiang, and walked away angrily.

Zhang Tanghuai clenched his fists, he really couldn't get used to seeing the prefect's Yan Rongxuan so arrogant, but he knew very well that in Fengyang City, everything was decided by the prefect.

"Your Excellency..."

"You kid is really good, you are usually very clever, and you don't want to think about the consequences of offending the prefect, you go back to me immediately, and I will clean you up tomorrow!"

Zhu Guoxiang looked at Zhang Tanghuai and said earnestly.

In Zhu Guoxiang's view, Zhang Tanghuai is an upright person, full of enthusiasm and jealousy, and he knows how to lead troops to fight with his kung fu, and his future is limitless.

It's just that people don't know how to be flexible, and it's very likely to offend the villain and cause murder, but the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and the character is not something that can be changed.

"But..."Zhang Tanghuai wanted to speak for a while.

"You kid get out of here for me!" Zhu Guoxiang was also hot-tempered, and turned around to enter the prefect's mansion after angrily reprimanding.

"Your Excellency... Alas! Zhang Tanghuai looked at the back of Zhu Shoubei and sighed helplessly, and now he can only go back in a huff.

When Zhang Tanghuai returned to the barracks, the sun had sunk in the west, and the sky was gradually darkening.

It also means that the more than 10,000 Kou troops led by Zhang Xianzhong are very close to Fengyang, the central capital.
