Outside the city of Yaozhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the Jing Navy personal guard battalion was constructing a defensive position on the spot, but not far away, there were dozens of Jurchen corpses scattered.

To say that a group of guards wanted to enter the city in disguise, but because they were found by the soldiers guarding the city gate because they were carrying a pistol on their backs, the Jing Navy guards wanted to forcibly seize the pass.

However, because of the strong defense of the city in Yaozhou City, the sergeants of the Jing Navy Guards Battalion had to withdraw from the city gate while fighting, and after joining Qiu Mingyang, they built a defensive line outside Yaozhou City to block the pursuing Yaozhou Jurchen guards.

It's just that what makes the soldiers of the Jing Navy Guards Battalion feel incomprehensible is that after this Tartar dropped dozens of corpses, the gate was closed, not to mention sending a horse team, even the soldiers did not see a single figure.

It's just that Yaozhou City is already closed here, and the situation of the enemy and us in the city is not so clear, but the soldiers in the pro-military camp don't know what to do here for a while.

If you want to say that the coach decided to burn the granary in Yaozhou, you must know that once the matter is leaked, it is destined to be even more difficult if you want to make a difference.

As for the hard attack, these five hundred people are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket!

It's just that the facts here have been created, and no matter how much you complain, it won't help, so at this moment, Qiu Mingyang decided to settle down for the time being, and then make plans.

If there is really no chance, he can only return in vain.

And just here, when Qiu Mingyang was a little anxious, the guards came to report, but there was someone who wanted to meet him.

Hearing this, Qiu Mingyang hurriedly ordered to go down and bring someone here, because what the guards said just now was that this person came from the heavily guarded Yaozhou City.

"General Qiu!"

The person who came was the one who came to convey to Qiu Mingyang on the order of the king to conquer the south.

"I wonder who your Excellency is?"

"Returning to the general, the last general is a captain officer under Lord Wang Zhengnan, and he has come to inform the general of something important on the order of Lord Wang!"

Hearing what the person said, Qiu Mingyang's face was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled.

"It turned out to be a strong man under the command of Lord Wang, and Qiu was polite here! It's just that I don't know what General Wang has to say to Qiu here. ”

Although Qiu Mingyang did not know the specific identity of Wang Zhengnan, but in the Dongjiang Army, as a chief intelligence officer, even Huang Long, the commander of the Dongjiang Jing Navy, was polite to him.

What's more, he also knew that Huang Long had ordered the Jing Naval Intelligence Department to rescue the robbed firearms manufacturer in Dengzhou.

And now, there are his subordinates from Yaozhou City, but he has guessed some clues.

And when he received the letter and read it, Qiu Mingyang's face was solemn.

It turned out that in the letter, Wang Zhengnan wrote very unceremoniously, saying that although the Jing Navy personal guard battalion was the elite of the Jing Navy, it was pure nonsense as intelligence and reconnaissance work behind enemy lines.

For Qiu Mingyang, the most important thing is that he once recommended himself to come, what a swear, but before he entered the gate of Yaozhou, he was recognized by the enemy, and now Wang Zhengnan is even more proposed to take over the matter, for him, this face is really useless.

But Qiu Mingyang belongs to the imperial ministers after all, and this state affairs come first!

So he finally chose to agree with Wang Zhengnan's opinion, that is, he wanted to do his best to attract as much firepower as possible for Wang Zhengnan, so that Wang Zhengnan could blossom everywhere in the city.

"You go back and tell Lord Wang, just say that I, Qiu Mingyang, am willing to cooperate with his actions!"

"Then I will thank Lord Qiu for my family!"

......

"My lord, the boss asked me to come and carry out the burning mission, why did he let those people from the intelligence department do it?"

When Qiu Mingyang arranged the task, there were many people who were puzzled.

Hearing this, Qiu Mingyang said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we are here on the orders of the marshal, and you have a deep understanding of your thoughts, but you must have seen the previous things, but we can't even enter the gate of Yaozhou!"

But the crowd was silent about this.

for it is true, and there it is.

In the face of everyone's silence, Qiu Mingyang continued.

"Lord Wang Zhengnan is in charge of the intelligence affairs of the Jing Navy, but there are other important tasks here, in the face of the embarrassment of our here, but he can lend a helping hand to us, everyone, there must be no other words!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember the military soul of my Jing Navy?"

"I can't forget! Be brave and loyal, defend my Ming! ”

"Yes, brave and loyal, defend my Ming! Ladies and gentlemen, no matter who does this, for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of my future! For the sake of His Majesty's great cause! What's more, Lord Wang has always been a well-informed person, and the letter here even attributed all the credit to you for waiting for the construction! ”

The previous paragraph is a great righteousness, Qiu Mingyang does not say it, and everyone understands that if not, they will never see this action of death and lifelessness.

The latter sentence was said by Qiu Mingyang himself, but Qiu Mingyang also understood that Wang Zhengnan, who was also uncertain, would never be greedy for merit.

Therefore, Qiu Mingyang said it for Wang Zhengnan, and only by saying this can the soldiers present make up their minds.

Although they are not afraid of death, they regard glory as life, and more than that!

"Your Excellency, you can give the order!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the brothers of the Intelligence Department have taken on the task of burning down the granary for us, we should act in response to them, and since the tower is in the middle of the city and refuses to come out, then we will give them some fierce material!"

"Please make it clear!"

"Most of us here are lightly armed, and there are no heavy weapons such as artillery, but just in case, each squad in the battalion is equipped with five small cannons (the combination of grenadiers and tiger squat guns in the Ming Dynasty in later generations is divided into two models, one uses traditional black projectiles, and the other uses firing pins to fire primers to launch new shells, because the pro-military battalion is the elite of the Jing Navy, and all the small cannons are the latest development of the firing pin firing type. )

We have a total of twenty-five small cannons here, and now we are not as advanced as the army, there are baggage battalions, but we only have two boxes of ammunition to use, and once something strange happens in the city, within the hour of a stick of incense, we will instantly shoot a box of cannonballs at the gate of Yaozhou! ”

"Understood!"

"It's so good, seize the time here, improve the defense points, and build fortifications in case of a great enemy!"

Yaozhou City, the government office.

At this time, the tower attack was a little annoyed, thinking that he had only been in office for a week, and the Jing Navy wanted to send people to sneak into the city to make trouble.

At this time, he was even more bullied by people at the door, thinking that he would come out of his mother's womb by beating himself, how could he have suffered such a shameful humiliation!

But at this moment, he couldn't bear it, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his mouth.

Before thinking that before he was changed to Yaozhou, the Great Khan personally summoned him and talked to him.

Yaozhou, he has to defend it, hold it! You must not go into battle without authorization, and ruin the great affairs of Huang Taiji!

And here, although the scouts reported that the Jing Navy was only a small group of men, but with one or two concerns, the tower attack did not order the horsemen to dispatch after all, but after losing dozens of Yaozhou city defense guards, they died down and ordered the gate to be closed!
