It was none other than Li Qingzhao who was hiding from Zhou Quan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She looked sad, she didn't expect that she would go to the street to find a doctor, and she could also meet Zhou Quan.

Zhao Mingcheng and her all the way south, first to the Daimyo's mansion, but the Jin army came one after another, when they escaped the Yellow River, more than half of the antique gold and stone collected were lost, to Lanzhou, the remaining half did not have time to transport away, Lanzhou fell into the hands of the Jin people, and the couple just escaped with a little bit of softness.

Finally arrived at Yingtianfu, because he had lived here for a short time before, so his wife settled down temporarily. But along the way, Zhao Mingcheng contracted the wind and cold, and because he remembered the abandoned antique gold and stone in his heart, his illness became serious, and his family servants were separated in the chaos, Li Qingzhao could only come out in person to find medical advice for Zhao Mingcheng.

I was seen by Zhou Quan!

If Zhao Mingcheng had never known Baozhou, Li Qingzhao would have been able to face Zhou Quan calmly, but when Zhao Mingcheng knew about Baozhou, Li Qingzhao also formally resigned to Zhou Quan and rejected Zhou Quan's suggestion. Now that he is in a state of panic, more importantly, Zhao Mingcheng, as a guard, has the responsibility to defend the land, and he should have held the city like Zong Ze, but he abandoned the city and fled-this is a stain that cannot be washed away on anyone.

Zhou Quan noticed Li Qingzhao and didn't say anything, just called a guard and gave a few orders.

He and Zong Ze continued to move forward, inspecting all parts of the city, and when the people in the city knew that the handsome young man who was following Zong Taishou was Zhou Quan, the Duke of Jiguo, there were thunderous cheers everywhere.

"It's almost like Emperor Zhenzong's original Linzhou Beicheng." There is a student who is sour and sour.

"What nonsense are you talking about, now the Son of Heaven only knows how to cheat money, but Zhou Jigong knows how to make money for the people, he is much more useful than the Son of Heaven when he comes here!"

"Exactly, in fact, it is not only the people, but also the officials, who is willing to give a tenth of their salary to buy the bond that is impossible to cash! I heard that the officials in the capital have already cashed out some to them two days ago, and I don't know when they can cash it out for us......"

The discussion of the non-commissioned officials quickly digressed and turned to bonds. The two bonds made the Zhao and Song royal families discredit the government and the people, so when everyone talked about it, they inevitably ridiculed.

Zhou Quan completely ignored these voices, and after the inspection, he did not say anything about the city defense - Zong Ze's military ability did not need to be questioned by him, so he returned to his home.

Father Zhou is here.

Zhou Quan did not persuade Zhou Fu to leave the city, he knew that Zhou Fu would never leave at this time, and Zhou Fu did not persuade him to leave, but asked about the physical condition of the master with some concern.

Shishi is pregnant.

This matter has not yet been spread, only the Zhou family itself knows, which makes Zhou's father and Zhou's mother extremely happy, and also makes Yu Liyan feel complicated.

Hearing that the teacher was in good health, Zhou Fucai said euphemistically: "At this time, you should accompany the teacher, why did you come here to make her worry and fear?" ”

"With her mother with her, plus it's still early, it's fine." Zhou Quan said.

Father and son are opposite, not much to say, after Zhou Quan said goodbye, his guard has come back and said Li Qingzhao's current predicament.

Zhou Quan didn't say anything, but asked the guards to take five hundred silver yuan, with this money, Li Qingzhao was enough to ask for medicine for Zhao Mingcheng.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Quan was awakened, he got up in his clothes, and found that his father was already covered in armor, holding a big gun, standing in front of the door.

"The Jin people have arrived, less than five miles from the city." Zhou Fu said in a deep voice.

"Expected ......"

Before Zhou Quan's words fell, he heard a roar, like thunder, in the north of the city.

The golden man has fired!

Zhou Fu showed a wry smile on his face: "How do you feel about being bombarded?" ”

"This kind of indiscriminate artillery has no meaning, it just serves as a threat." Zhou Quan estimated the distance and said disdainfully: "And the gunpowder formula of the Jin people is not good, the range of the artillery is limited, even if it is a heavy artillery, it is the limit to be able to bombard two miles, like this field artillery, the range may only be in miles." ”

"This kind of cannon roar is enough to make the people in the city panic."

"It doesn't matter, although Zong Ze has never led troops before, he has read military books and discussed with me about the strategy of war and defense, he will have a way."

After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he yawned: "Jin Ren's move is nothing more than to kill us by surprise, and when we find out that Yingtian is heavily guarded, we will retreat in spite of the difficulties...... I'll go back and make up for sleep, and if the Jin people attack the city, they will call me again. ”

As he expected, the attack of the Jin people was only tentative, and before that, in the Daimyo's Mansion and Lanzhou, almost all of them were cannon shots, and the city collapsed, so when they arrived at Yingtianfu, they repeated their old tricks, and they also thought that there was a cheap price to pick up.

The commander of this army is exactly what he can't do.

Beside him, Guo Yaoshi held a telescope and looked at the swarthy city, and then smiled and said to Yu Li: "Second prince, this should be the city guard of Tianfu, named Zong Ze, who had fiercely opposed the Song League Jin Zhan Liao, but he was a scholar and did not know much about soldiers. ”

"I'm not interested in this, I just want to know, is this Ying Tianfu really as you said, gathering countless grains, steel, and ordnance?" He snorted coldly.

He abandoned Bianjing and did not attack because he heard that there was a Shenwei general cannon with a high range and a large cannon path on Bianjing, and he knew that the field artillery he was carrying was definitely not as long as this kind of heavy artillery, so he chose Yingtianfu to the east of the Beijing Division.

Guo Yaoshi once came to Bianjing to receive Zhao Ji's reward, and he knew the truth of the Great Song Dynasty in great detail, and he patiently repeated the answer that he had answered several times: "Zhao Ji is suspicious of Zhou Quan, so this Ying Tianfu is a key point for him to deal with Zhou Quan, and in order to support the Daimyo's Mansion, the base camp of the Liao War, he also needs a place for the transit of military funds." Yingtianfu has the convenience of canals and railways, iron and ordnance from Xuzhou, grain from Suhu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, and wealth from overseas are all gathered here, and then either transferred to the capital, or sent to the Daimyo's mansion. Therefore, the military resources accumulated here are several times that of the Daimyo's Mansion, and we have asked the prisoners about this, and there will be absolutely no problem! ”

He smiled again: "That's good......"

In the Daimyo's Mansion, he did his best to get the military resources of the Song army, the grain and grass were piled up, and the armor soldiers were enough to arm more than 100,000 people.

In this battle, even if the Song State is not destroyed, the Song State must be forced to hand over enough craftsmen, because the craftsmen represent the national strength!

This was not said by separation, but by Wushu, but Wushu himself was sent to Xijing Datong and had no chance to practice this strategy.

"If it goes well, maybe ...... in the future" Qi Li thought quite longingly, maybe he would be able to enter Ying Tianfu tomorrow.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering loud noise on the side of Yingcheng Fucheng!

That's the roar of dozens of cannons at the same time!

The loud noise made his body tremble, and he couldn't help but take a step back, not cowardly, but human instinct. But after only taking a step back, he straightened his waist: "Sure enough, it is worthy of Ying Tianfu, even there are artillery, it seems that there are quite a few of them!" ”

Previously, no cannons were captured in the Daimyo's Mansion and Shanzhou, which made it a pity for Yu Li to be a little regretful - in fact, when he defeated Tong Guan before, he almost wiped out the field artillery of the Song people, plus the Liao and Jin people's own construction, and now his artillery number has reached an astonishing nearly 100.

However, due to technical and maintenance limitations, half of these guns were unusable.

At this time, he could hear the roar of the city, as if forty or fifty cannons were ringing, and he was not afraid of rejoicing, and in his opinion, these would be his trophies.

"Looking at the strength of our army tomorrow, the Song army will be defeated, and artillery is a weapon that is much stronger for siege than for killing the enemy!" He thought so to himself.

After so many battlefield applications, the biggest problem of artillery has been exposed, for dense formations, its lethality is indeed great, but for the vast battlefield and sparsely distributed enemy, its biggest role is only deterrence.

On the contrary, it is used for siege to make the best use of everything, and no matter how strong the city wall is, it will collapse sooner or later if it is bombarded by dozens of artillery pieces in turn.

The sound of artillery at the head of Tianfu City suppressed the sound of artillery outside the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city, who had been panicking because of the arrival of the enemy, suddenly felt at ease.

Most of the people did not know the limitations of artillery on the battlefield, but compared to whose cannon sounded - the sound of the cannon on their own side of the city of Ying Tianfu was obviously louder than the cannon of the Jin people outside the city, and in their opinion, this showed that the cannon of the Great Song Dynasty was stronger than the cannon of the Jin people.

"The people watched in the streets for a while, and now they have been persuaded to go back to sleep."

"There are a few thieves who want to take advantage of the opportunity to do evil, and they have been caught by the patrolmen."

"There was some commotion on the side of the people who had fled to the city for refuge, but now it has been suppressed and eight people have been injured."

The news spread one by one to Zong Ze, who was sitting at the head of the city, and under the light, Zong Ze was smiling and not nervous at all.

After the sound of the Jin people's cannons fell, he slowly pointed to the open field in front of him: "If the Jin people know, the sound of artillery in this city is just the result of some artillery explosions, I don't know what they think." ”

The soldiers around them burst into laughter.

They looked at Zong Ze's gaze and were even more respectful: Zong Ze judged that the other party was bluffing as soon as the cannon sounded in Jinren, and he didn't really want to attack the city, so he didn't mobilize all of them at all, but ordered to respond with artillery.

The cannons set off during the New Year's festival are said to be able to drive away evil spirits, but now it really comes in handy, breaking the bluff of the Jin people.

Zong Ze's eyes froze again: "Wang Yan, come here!" ”

A tall and calm man walked over: "I've seen Taishou!" ”

"Find a way to let a few spies out, and pass the news of my artillery to deal with them to the Jin people, so that the Jin people know that I am in the city, and there is actually no artillery. Other than that...... Tell Jin Ren that Zhou Jigong brought 3,000 people to help Yingtianfu, and now he is in Yingtianfu! ”

Wang Yan's expression was condensed, and after two breaths, he suddenly realized, and then answered.

"The golden man will go crazy...... I waited for them to go crazy. Zong Ze said slowly. (To be continued.) )
