Zhang Zhun said: "Can you tell me about the situation in the city?" ”

Fang Yu said, "Yes." ”

He spoke briefly, and some of his words were slurred, as if his tongue had been hurt. However, he still described Lingshanwei's situation very clearly. Zhang Zhun could guess that Fang Yu had also made full preparations for today. If the time is ripe, Fang Yu will also start a riot. However, the Acropolis is an Acropolis after all, not a small thousand-household house, and it is definitely not so easy to rebel and rebel.

Wang Jian himself has about 200 family members, and the other 4,000 households, each of which has 50 family members. The two commanders are the same knowledge, the four commanders are servants, and they also have some armed family members. In addition, there are also some organizations and thugs that they have snagged, and together, there are almost a thousand people. Such a strong strength is definitely not something that poor military families like Fang Yu can handle.

"A Thousand ......"

Zhang Zhun muttered to himself.

This Wang Jian really has some organizational skills! If he was the commander of Ao Shanwei, he might have been a little difficult to get into trouble at the beginning. Even if you can succeed, the price you pay will definitely be much greater. At the same time, the Tartars of Tianhengdao may not be as arrogant as they are now.

"That's right! A thousand people! ”

Fang Yu replied in the affirmative.

His statement was later confirmed by Yi Litao.

Knowing that Zhang Zhun led the army to Lingshanwei, Yi Litao naturally hurried over.

The information provided by Yi Litao was similar to what Fang Yu described, and all of Wang Jian's subordinates added up, and there were indeed a thousand people. Among them, there are more than 400 elite family members, which is about the same number as the escort team. Hearing that Zhang Zhun was coming, Wang Jian had already ordered a strict guard to implement martial law, and all military households in the city must stay at home and not appear on the streets. Otherwise, shoot and kill.

Zhang Zhun pondered and said, "Is there anything weak about the city wall?" ”

Yi Litao and Fang Yu both shook their heads.

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully, it seems that it is impossible to take it by skill, and there is only a strong attack.

Thankfully, he was well prepared.

If you attack strongly, you will attack, and who is afraid of whom?

"Zhang Zhun! What are you doing in Lingshanwei? ”

Suddenly, a cry came from afar.

Fang Yu frowned, and said in a low voice, "My lord, it's Wang Jian's voice." ”

Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed the city, and sure enough, on the tower of the east gate, he vaguely saw Wang Jian's figure. However, Zhang Zhun and Wang Jian did not meet officially, and their identities could only be judged from the crowds of others around him. Zhang Zhun then handed the clairvoyant mirror to Yi Litao and asked him to point out Wang Jian.

After Yi Litao saw it, he said affirmatively: "That's right, the one among them is Wang Jian." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, walked to the front, about seventy zhang away from the city tower, and continued to hold the clairvoyant mirror, carefully observing Wang Jian on the city tower. In fact, Wang Jian is not like a Wei commander at all, thin and small, but like a pickpocket in later generations, or a liar. Zhang Zhun picked up the megaphone and said loudly: "Lord Wang, I am a guest, is this your hospitality?" ”

Of course, Wang Jian won't talk nonsense with him. Zhang Zhun led the troops to kill, Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows. Wang Jian said angrily: "Zhang Zhun, you are the commander of Aoshanwei, what are you doing when you come to Lingshanwei?" You have left your post with your troops and trespassed into other people's jurisdictions, are you going to rebel? ”

Zhang Zhun laughed and said loudly: "Rebellion? Lord Wang is really good at laughing! How can a person of my duty rebel? Even if you rebel, Lord Wang, I won't rebel! These I lead are not my troops, they are all my family! ”

Wang Jian became more and more angry, and shouted angrily: "You go back to Fushan immediately!" Don't think I don't know your little tricks! I'm not Zhao Yinying, I won't fall for you! Do you know what you're doing? ”

Zhang Zhun also tore off his disguise and said angrily: "You arrested my person, what do you say I am going to do?" Wang Jian, let me tell you, you hand over Mo Yu immediately, and we can still talk well! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face! ”

Wang Jian became more and more angry, and said viciously: "Mo Yu was originally my Lingshanwei's military household!" As the commander of the guard, I want to deal with a small military household, what does it have to do with you? You immediately go back to Aoshanwei! Otherwise, you're welcome! ”

Zhang Zhun laughed and said loudly: "You're not welcome? I'm ready to be polite to you! Wang Jian, let me tell you, Mo Yu is now my subordinate! He has taken refuge in our Fushan Place! If you dare to disagree with him, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”

It's really the tip of the needle against the wheat, and he doesn't give an inch.

Wang Jian said angrily: "You! You! You give me a retreat at once! Otherwise, I'll kill Mo Yu right away! ”

With that, with a wave of his hand, he ordered Mo Yu to be brought up.

I only saw that Mo Yu was tied up with five flowers, unable to move, and his mouth was still stuffed with rags. Seeing Zhang Zhun outside, Mo Yu wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. In desperation, I had to accept my fate. As soon as the person next to him let go of his hand, Mo Yu fell to the ground.

Wang Jian shouted coldly: "Zhang Zhun, as long as you make any unfavorable moves, I will immediately kill Mo Yu and throw his head down to you!" I'll count one, two, three, you get out of here! Otherwise, I would have killed him anyway! ”

Zhang Zhun was unmoved, and said coldly: "Wang Jian, I'll give you a hundred dares, see if you dare to kill Mo Yu!" If you dare to give me Mo Yu's head, I will dare to send Lingshanwei's one guard commander, two commanders, four commanders, five thousand households, five deputy thousand households, and all other officers of more than 100 households, as well as the heads of their families, to Jinan Mansion! One for hundreds, I can afford it! ”

Wang Jian's face turned red, and he shouted fiercely: "Someone! Push it down......"

A commander next to him hurriedly shouted, "My lord, slow down!" ”

Wang Jian said angrily: "Could it be that I'm still afraid of him?" ”

The commander said helplessly: "My lord, there are hundreds of family members in the city, such as hundreds and thousands of people, why do you have to be so stiff with Zhang Zhun?" This person captured Lingshanwei, it was a real rebellion, and naturally the court would deal with it, and we would bear some responsibility and fine some money and food at most. However, if we have a personal grudge with Zhang Zhun, our family, young and old, will all be buried here, it's really not worth it! Zhang Zhun is completely crazy, is it necessary for us to deal with him? ”

Another conductor also said, "That's right! Your Excellency, please think again. Zhang Zhun's actions, even if he is covered by Laizhou Mansion and Aoshanwei, it is undoubtedly a real rebellion. As long as we report the situation to the capital, there will naturally be the capital. When the time comes, the army of the imperial court will arrive, and he can naturally be suppressed. ”

A commander also said: "My lord, there is no personal enmity between us and Zhang Zhun, there is no need to get to the point of life and death." For the sake of a Mo Yu, burying so many of our family members, how can adults bear it? The two acquaintances are reasonable, please think twice! ”

Wang Jian had no choice but to give a stupid order to escort Mo Yu down. In fact, he really believes that Zhang Zhun, a madman, will honor his words. He said that if he sent the head to Jinan Mansion, he would really send it to Jinan Mansion. These commanders are obviously a little afraid of Zhang Zhun's madness. Wang Jian was a little unwilling, and said stupidly: "Zhang Zhun is too deceitful, can we just watch him occupy Lingshan Wei?" ”

The commander said euphemistically: "My lord, Brigadier Zhang concentrated his forces at the east gate, and the other three gates, and did not block them, depending on the situation, he wanted to expel us." It's not to wipe us out. We'll just have to fight him here for a day or two and wait for reinforcements to arrive. If the reinforcements can't arrive in time, Lingshanwei will fall, and it is not our responsibility. Zhang Zhun is a military household of Ao Shanwei, and if the capital department wants to ask, he should first hold Ao Shanwei accountable and take Zhao Yinying under the knife. ”

The two commanders and fellow intellectuals even claimed to be.

Wang Jian frowned and said: "You and my fields are all in Lingshanwei, if Zhang Zhun controls here, our fields will definitely be divided by those poor legs." Thousands of acres of land are gone, are you willing? ”

The commander said helplessly: "My lord, please forgive the subordinate for speaking bluntly, if you don't even have your life, what's the use of asking for fields?" Zhang Zhun marched towards Jimo County last time, and the commander of Ao Shanwei was frightened and fled to Dengzhou City in embarrassment. What do we compare to him? Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood. Your Excellency, please think again! If you shouldn't say something, even if we all die here, we probably won't shed a single tear on the top. What is the use of keeping the fields when people die? ”

The other commanders all nodded yes.

Yes, even if you don't have your life, what kind of fields are you talking about? Zhang Zhun is menacing, and they are obviously unstoppable. As long as the battle is passable, and there is no place for accountability, the task is completed. As for investigating the responsibility for the loss of the teacher's land, let's first investigate Ao Shanwei's side.

Another commander whispered: "Look at those masters in the north, the Tartars are burning and looting outside, and they are all cowering in the city, ignoring them." Even when some refugees tried to escape into the city, they refused to open the city gates to accept them, and watched as the refugees were taken captive by the Tartar cavalry. They can't do that, so why should they hold us accountable? If the imperial court had money and grain to be distributed, how could Zhang Zhun rebel? ”

When it comes to money and food, there are many scratches. These commanders, acquaintances, and commanders all believed that Zhang Zhun rose up to rebel, and it was entirely the responsibility of those civilian officials in the military garrison, and they refused to distribute the money and food from the guards. If there is to be accountability, the people who are preparing for the state should first be held accountable. Then, it was the officers at all levels of Ao Shanwei.

Wang Jian said unconvinced: "I want to see if this Zhang Zhun has some ability." ”

After that, he waved his hand and shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Knock knock!"

A moment later, the head of Lingshanwei's city erupted into clusters of fire.

The cannon roared, the smoke was filled, and it was the defenders who fired first.

"Grass!"

Zhang Zhun scolded again in his heart.

Is it bullying Lao Tzu again without a cannon?

Through the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun can clearly see that the east gate of the Lingshan Acropolis is equipped with a total of four Franc machine cannons. In terms of combat power, the Franc cannon is far inferior to the redcoat cannon, but it is not bad to defend the city. Shells burst out one after another, landing in the open space a few hundred meters away. The defenders used solid bullets, which were not lethal and had a long range.

Seeing the defenders firing the artillery, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The escort team brought by Zhang Zhun did not carry artillery. In the eyes of those who don't know the details, the siege troops, without artillery, would not have been able to blow up the city gates! Especially when the defenders have artillery, and the besieging side does not have artillery, how can it be possible to win the battle? Could it be that Zhang Zhun is ready to set up a ladder and carry out a strong attack? How many people do you have to die?

Yi Litao said in a low voice: "My lord, the east gate and the south gate of Lingshan Wei each have four cannons. The north gate and the west gate, each with two gates. It's all fixed and can't be moved. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said regretfully: "It's a little less." ”

Yi Litao and Fang Yu looked at each other, both a little unclear.

Twelve cannons, too little?

But I don't know that Zhang Zhun said that there is a little less, that is, after these cannons were captured, the number was not enough to stuff the gaps. Since Fushan Institute itself has no ability to build artillery, it can only rely on capture. However, an acropolis has only twelve Franc machines, which is too small. The entire Laizhou Mansion is only two acropolises of Lingshanwei and Aoshanwei.

"Fire!"

"Fight back!"

"Suppress the enemy's gunners!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and shouted coldly.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunfire of the tiger was endless.

Minnie's bullet whistled towards the head of Lingshan Weicheng's city.

The convoy was only about 70 zhang (about 210 meters) away from the defenders at the head of the city. At this range, the power of the Mini bullet is still very sufficient. Through the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun could clearly see that Mini's bullet hit the city, and on the battlements, bursts of white smoke continued to splash.

Some of the defenders were hit by Mini's bullets and fell down bloodily on the spot, while others were still hanging on the head of the city, continuing to withstand the attacks of Mini's bullets, and their bodies were covered in blood. Among them, the gunners who were responsible for firing the guns were the first to fall. Who told them to be the focus of the Guards? Under the dense fire, the artillery of the defenders was all dumb in an instant.

The defenders of the Lingshan Guard, in fact, are not small, and they are constantly shooting arrows to counterattack. Except for the four cannons, most of the rest of the defenders were bows and arrows, and there were not many who used firearms. In the face of the ultra-long range of the Tiger Ben, the bows and arrows of the defenders are simply a joke. After flying less than thirty feet, it had already fallen.

"Shoot closely!"

"Shortened to thirty zhang!"

Zhang Zhun shouted coldly.

The warriors covered each other, moved forward to a distance of only thirty feet from the city wall, redeployed the battle formation, and continued to shoot.
