Chapter XXXVIII
"It's on fire, and the north gate lets the sky thunder"
I don't know that the good deed man shouted, and the guests of the entire pavilion shouted frantically, and in a short time it spread throughout the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
King Zheng had just accepted a concubine, and the Spring Festival was worth a thousand gold, and his body was very tired, so he was woken up by a loud noise, and he ordered someone to check it out unhappily.
The city gate was on fire, King Zheng didn't think it was a thunderstorm, the sky was clear and he lived and worked in peace and contentment, where there were grievances worthy of heavenly punishment. He resolutely sent troops to support the North Gate, and there must have been a chaotic party arson and disturbing the people, and wanted to do wrong.
This time, Zhao Zheng made a mistake, and King Zheng stabilized the situation in an instant, and Qiangang arbitrarily sent troops to support.
Moments before the sun set, Zhao Zheng rushed to Xinzheng, he did not rush to meet Tian Shimu, but took Weihuo around the city.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. It has been more than a year since the Warring States period, and Zhao Zheng has also mastered the army patrol system in this era.
Like copying and pasting, all the famous towns of the big cities are strictly in accordance with the structure of the pickaxe capital built by King Wu back then. It's just that with the needs of the times, minor adjustments have been made in some details, but there is not much difference.
Because the garrison in the city must build a military camp in the west of the city, the five elements in the west belong to gold, and the four elephants are white tigers, the place of the main battle.
Twenty people in a stove, ten people in a team, live in a small camp, so look at the area of the barracks, you can know how many garrisons there are. There are no military secrets at all, which makes Zhao Zheng sigh that this is the original origin of "military and civilian family". During the festivals, the common people can even enter the military colonel to visit.
In order to develop commerce, Zheng Guo sacrificed the military, and the military camp in Xinzheng City was very small, with a maximum of 10,000 people. However, there was a division of Praetorian Guards in Wangcheng, so Zhao Zheng did not dare to despise it.
The fox beats the tiger, even if it is a sick cat, it has to be bluffed, so Zhao Zheng divided three feints to attract the other three gates.
In order to scare Zheng Jun when he opened the door, Zhao Zheng ruthlessly used the only two new versions of the earth-shaking thunder, and threw ten incendiary bombs at the same time to make the north gate burst into flames. More than 1,000 defenders lost half of them in an instant, and the other half fled far away.
"The lord has a good opportunity, and his subordinates ask for orders to lead people to attack Xinzheng."
Zhao Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "You He Miao has also become impatient, don't feel sorry for your military exploits, you won't be able to get it later." ā
The three gates feints, the west gate of Weihuo, the south gate of ten acres, but the east gate is not He Miao, but the newly promoted captain Wang Ergou.
Originally, he did not participate in the Wuyang Guard War, let alone be entrusted with the military and political affairs of Gucheng, and he felt that he was more and more inferior to the former fifth captain. Seeing the fire at the city gate this time, and no defenders went out of the city to check, such a good opportunity He Miao wanted to take advantage of the situation to take the north gate and make a great achievement.
Seeing that Zhao Zheng said that it was broken, He Miao did not dodge, and confessed: "In the past, only He Miao did not make an inch of merit among the brothers, and he was anxious and did not like the lord, so he lost his temper and asked the lord to punish him." ā
"You are my old subordinate, I have also seen the merits of military training over the years, the reason why I have not appreciated it for a long time is to see your temperament, but there is a big thing waiting for you to do."
He Miao is happy, Zhao Zheng is saying yes, and now he is saying that he is of great use, so naturally there will be no fake. He immediately knelt down and bowed, "I wish to die for the Lord." ā
"I can't die, my subordinates are all more precious than princes, how can they die. All you have to do is listen to me for now. ā
The fire was raging, because of the addition of oil bombs, it did not stop for a long time, and the city gate tower burned out to reveal the base frame made of fine iron, glowing red and still standing.
"Reinforced concrete casting!"
The ancients actually mastered such technology, although it was not a time and space, Zhao Zheng still had a kind of pride from the bottom of his heart.
Look, this is what my ancestors invented.
"My lord, it didn't burn down."
He Miao reminded in surprise that Zhao Zhengcai remembered that he was fighting against the Zheng army in the city, and it was not the time to sigh.
"It's not good, Zheng Jun is out of the city."
He Miao pointed to the city gate and shouted: "Incendiary bombs, hundreds, fire." ā
"Whoosh"
The bowstring vibrate, and the three-meter-high stone thrower quickly threw out a group of incendiary bombs by relying on the torque force, and the incendiary bombs with sugar and a little phosphostone powder had a very low ignition point, and they could not be waved on the body. Although it is not as powerful as modern white phosphorus bombs, it burns all the way to the bones.
The viscous fire slurry also made Zheng Jun messy, and the fire volatilized the phosphostone powder, and a pungent smell came, mixed with scorching smoke into the soldiers' lungs, and more than half of it was broken in a few moments.
Today is the north wind, otherwise Zhao Zheng would not have attacked at the north gate, and the poisonous gas after the volatilization of phosphorus will also be a big headache in the future, let alone at this time.
The palace guards, Zheng Guo's elite division, were trained according to the Eighth Division of Zhou Dynasty Yin, but in the face of Zhao Zheng, who had advanced weapons, he was still defeated.
It was an asymmetrical war, and Zhao, who had firearms, completely beat Zheng Jun.
Although this will brutally escalate the war after that, Zhao Zheng has no choice, this is an era where if you don't eat me, I will eat you.
The gentleman is the power of the aristocracy, and for a commoner like him, if he wants to fight for his own world, he must make full use of his own strengths.
And the only thing he knows is how to kill faster and more completely, so he has to open this Pandora's box.
"After I die, even if the flood is monstrous, I won't be able to see it, at least Huaxia won't wither in this time and space. Sooner or later, these things will override those people, I swear. ā
Zhao Zheng tried not to close his eyes and face the cruelty of war, and thousands of soldiers died instantly because of his invention.
"Dead family, Taiping Wanjia, worth it."
Getting this idea, Zhao Zheng's wandering eyes became firm. He looked at the fleeing Zheng Jun and shouted: "Surrender the troops and don't kill." ā
"Surrender and don't kill."
All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound resounded through the heavens and the earth. The remaining Zheng Jun actually sent weapons and surrendered.
"What should the lord do, kill or stay."
He Miao looked at the large number of Zheng Jun and asked.
There are more prisoners than soldiers, and Zhao Zheng does not think that he is the overlord Xiang Yu, who can deter 300,000 with 9,000 Chu troops.
"Kill them in batches, hurry up while it's dark, and call them back, let's withdraw."
King Zheng in the palace was still anxiously waiting, when there were so many chaotic parties in the country, and there were enemy troops in the four gates of Xinzheng.
Under the investigation, he sent three thousand Janissaries to test the enemy army at the north gate, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and the truth of the false and the real was understood, although the north gate was loud, it was most likely to be a feint, so King Zheng was very sure of this.
Three thousand Praetorian Guards were enough to kill the bloody road and spy on the truth, but he waited and waited and still did not see a return.
"Send someone to take a look, call back the Praetorian Guards who are chasing the enemy, and chase after them."
King Zheng was still a little more calm at this time, and he hadn't come back for more than an hour, so he must have broken the enemy army and pursued while he was victorious.
"Oh no, the king is bad, the Praetorian Guards sent are all dead, and only half of the corpses have been found."
"What!"
King Zheng felt that the whole world had collapsed, and the enemy army from where he had come from had completely defeated the Praetorian Guard, which he was most proud of.
"Ask for help, ask for help quickly, send a fast horse to Luoyi, and ask the Son of Heaven to send heavy troops to support."
After saying this, King Zheng seemed to be drained and fell to the ground weakly. The capital of the country suffered, and there was no army of King Qin, and the 100,000 standing army was divided into three counties and 42 counties, which was two or three thousand people per place. There are more than enough guards, the garrison is insufficient, and the border towns are all the army of the Zhou Dynasty.
There were three divisions on the border of Qi and Zheng, and two divisions on the border of Chu and Zheng, and if you calculated carefully, half of the elite of the Zhou Dynasty were scattered in Zheng State.
On weekdays, there is good food and drink to entertain, and when it is critical, it is useless. Don't look at the oil blending between the Son of Heaven and Qi Guo at this time, the relationship is very good. However, once the border army moves, the Qi army will inevitably be heavily overwhelmed.
"What kind of king am I!"
King Zheng was powerless to beat his crown.
