Chapter 164: POV: Chen Pei'er Armament is slack

Xu Jingen still refused to look up, but said loudly: "Wang Rong used to say, the plum has no owner, and I have the master in my heart." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Now Mrs. allows a certain head to rise, it is the grace of Mrs., but Mrs. can go beyond the etiquette, but the last general can not go beyond it, hope Mrs. Mingjian. ”

Chen Pei'er didn't want Xu Jingen to look directly at her, so she was happy, but said: "Then please tell the general about the defense of this castle, I knew that the armament of the imperial army, especially the Jiangnan army, was lax, but now that I see it, this is no longer lax, it is simply gone!" ”

Xu Jingen turned his head, looked at the castle, and explained loudly: "Since Madame is interested, the last general will tell Madame about it." This castle is different from the city, which has residents, workshops, and granaries, and is both an economic center and a military center. Many big cities such as Jingshi and Nanjing have high walls and deep pools, which seem to be difficult to overcome, but it is necessary to have tens of thousands of men and horses to defend such cities, and it is extremely difficult to defend. Castles are different in that there are only soldiers and no inhabitants, and there are only defenses and no economic facilities, so the entire area can be used to store weapons and build forts, so it is easier to defend. And these castles often hold the main communication routes, if the attacker cannot take it, it is easy to suffer from the enemy, so it is necessary to capture the castle to continue the march, otherwise once frustrated, it will be the end of the total annihilation. Although this Chuansha Castle is a towering wall, it is not powerful because it is attacked on all sides. The most powerful thing is the kind of castle built in the dangerous pass of Xiongguan and the high mountains and deep valleys, because only one side is enemy, so as long as a few hundred troops can block thousands of troops and horses. ”

After a pause, Xu Jingen pointed to the fortress with disdain and said, "A castle with slack armament like this, although it has a female wall of turrets, is useless. I only need to send a few capable sergeants, or the special forces trained by Liu Zhengcheng to climb the city wall at night, and I can open the city gate and break the city in one sentence! ”

Chen Pei'er nodded secretly, her military knowledge comes from books, and she is a good hand at talking about soldiers on paper, but she doesn't know anything about actual military operations, such as how much food a soldier needs in battle, how many rows and columns to march in a row, how to arrange reserves for city defense, etc. Just by listening to General Xu's speech in an orderly and calm manner, he knew that he was indeed capable.

Chen Pei'er has always only looked up to people who have the ability, so she praised with a smile: "The family letter of the grandson and concubine also said that General Xu is proficient in military affairs, good at military training, and is a minister of his great cause. ”

Fenghou seems to have a natural attraction for military generals, Li Guangxin has been thinking about Fenghou all his life, but it is a pity that "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal", after all, he committed suicide in prison and failed to realize his dream. And Xu Jingen in front of him was also, as soon as he heard the word "feudal marquis", he was shocked, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Liu Gong promoted a certain person in the dust, let a certain know the military development trend in the next few hundred years, and gave a chance to achieve a lifetime of revenge, a certain heart is grateful, beyond words, even if there is no reward for the marquis, a certain will inevitably die in return!" ”

While the two were talking, a head finally appeared on the top of the city. Chen Pei'er's eyesight was very good, and she found that this was a veteran. This veteran is already old, his rickety back and constantly coughing body have proved that he is no longer suitable for this profession of licking blood from the knife edge, but it is a pity that he is a hereditary soldier and the lowest level of military households, so he does not have any right to choose his own profession, and can only slowly accept the whipping and torture of life. Although he was a soldier, he did not have any armor, and a tattered cotton coat was his only armor, but it was a pity that this thin cotton coat was full of holes, even the cold wind could not effectively resist it, let alone the bow and arrow or lead shot by the enemy. He didn't have a decent weapon, a bamboo gun was his only self-defense weapon, even with a military layman like Chen Pei'er, he knew that this soft, rusty weapon basically couldn't kill people.

"Just relying on such soldiers, how can they resist foreign aggression!" Xu Jingen scolded hatefully, and shouted loudly: "A certain is the general under the command of the Imperial Champion and the right attendant of the Yizhou Prefect and the Military Department, you quickly open the city gate and let me wait in, I have something important to discuss with your parents!" "Xu Jingen didn't even show the official document, I think it = in his opinion, it is a waste to show the official document to such a soldier who has almost no force.

The veteran's ears seemed to be a little bad because of the invasion of time, and he shouted loudly: "Master Jun, what did you say? The villain's ears are not good! ”

Xu Jingen didn't speak, he just gave a soldier beside him a look, and then the soldier raised his spear and shouted: "You can't ****** deaf, the commander asked you to open the door, if you don't open the door, the old man will kill you!" ”

Sure enough, for a soldier, knives and threats are much better than words. The old soldier looked at these soldiers in red uniforms, and said repeatedly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the villain will open the door!" ”

"This old king...... Things, don't scare him twice, I just don't know how good we are! The soldier wanted to curse, but he immediately realized that there was a noble person here, so he put away his original curse and used a more elegant word.

The suspension bridge was erected on the waterway of the original moat, and the waterway has dried up, so it makes no difference whether the suspension bridge is actually there or not. But thinking of the filth in the waterway, Chen Peier secretly decided that she would not pass through the waterway if she was killed.

With the sound of squeaky movement, the originally closed suspension bridge was lowered, revealing the interior of Chuansha Fort to suspicious visitors.

"Sir, sir!" The veteran ran down from the city panting, and it was clear that the short distance had exhausted his physical strength. The veteran first looked curiously at the clothes worn by the soldiers, then rubbed his hands flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Sir, the villain has bad ears and can't hear your origin clearly, if you don't convey it to the villain, the villain will have an explanation!" ”

He didn't look at Chen Pei'er, Chen Pei'er was wearing men's clothes today, her body was covered under thick fur, and her face was covered with makeup, so she looked just a handsome man, very much like a rabbit next to an officer, which was by no means a shocking thing in the Ming army. The general of the Ming army likes men, and he also takes care of his little servant, in case he looks up and abruptly makes a nobleman, he will probably be beaten in the end, and a junior soldier like him will not be given a head for him.

For these people living at the bottom, not provoking, not causing trouble, and not coming out is the best way to save their lives. (To be continued.) )
