Chapter 13: Ascending to the City to See the Enemy

When Luo Jian and the others walked into the city gate, Liu Weimin and Wang Qiang also got into the car and started the car, and slowly followed behind. Luo Jian walked through the city gate to the open space in the city, put Shi Kefa and the others aside, waited for the car to come, and said to Liu Weimin, stop here first. After the car stopped, Luo Jian stepped forward and picked up the binoculars and hung them around his neck, and said to Shi Kefa and the others, "Shi Gebu, how about we go up to the city tower to have a look first, and then go into the city to talk?" Shi Kefa and the others nodded yes, and Liu Zhaoji stepped forward and led a few people towards the city wall.

When they arrived at the city tower and stood still, they saw that all the soldiers on the city tower were gathered around, and they all wanted to see what the "angel" looked like. Shi Kefa and the others were extremely happy in their hearts, and did not drive them away, Liu Zhaoji led everyone to the city tower.

Luo Jian had seen the city tower in the ancient city of Xi'an before, and he didn't feel new when he saw that this city tower did not have the style of Xi'an. When he stood still in front of the tower, Luo Jian picked up the binoculars on his chest and looked forward from near and far.

A mile and a half away on the hill is still full of corpses, and the Qing soldiers have not yet come up to clean up, but the dozens of cavalry they saw before have already approached the hill. Looking further away, about four or five kilometers away, there were patches of yurt-style military camps, and there was no edge in sight, Luo Jian's heart moved, and he turned his head and asked Liu Zhaoji, "General Liu, how many people are there in the Qing army besieging the city?" ”

"The exact number is not clear, but it is estimated that there will be no less than 100,000 horses." Liu Zhaoji replied.

Luo Jian looked at the tents in front of him, one tent was much taller than the others, a row of flags was erected in front of the tent, and the surroundings were much more spacious than the other tents, his heart moved, he took off the binoculars from his neck and handed it to Liu Zhaoji, pointing to the big tent and said: "General Liu, please take a look, is that big tent Duoduo's camp tent?" ”

Liu Zhaoji took the telescope and held it up in front of him, followed by Luo Jian's appearance and looked forward, his eyes approached the telescope, but he almost threw away the telescope in his hand with an "ah" sound. It turned out that what he saw was the corpse of a Qing soldier in front of Xiaoshan Bao, and when he saw so many corpses suddenly appearing in front of him, Rao is Liu Zhaoji had already experienced a hundred battles, and he was still surprised. Turning around and asking Luo Jian, "Dare to ask Luo Angel, what is this, but you can see so far." Liu Zhaoji didn't dare to call Luo Jian "Xiao Luo", but remembered his surname.

"This thing is called a telescope, it is used for televising, if you can't see clearly, you can rotate here until you see clearly, General Liu, you can no longer call an angel, just call me Xiao Luo." Luo Jian pointed to the focus of the telescope in Liu Zhaoji's hand and said. Only then did Liu Zhaoji settle down, looked in the direction of Luo Jian's finger just now, looked carefully for a long time, put down the binoculars and said to Luo Jian, "Little Luo Angel, the last general thinks that there must be Duoduo's handsome tent." Liu Zhaoji is as good as a stream, but this title makes Luo Jian a little crying and laughing.

Luo Jian thought about it in his heart, no longer dwelling on the question of title, took the telescope from Liu Zhaoji's hand, handed it to Shi Kefa, and said, "Supervisor, please take a look too." Luo Jian saw that others called Shi Kefa the supervisor, so he shouted along.

Shi Kefa knew that Luo Jian handed the telescope to Liu Zhaoji first, because Liu was a military general and had much more battlefield experience than himself, so he had a higher opinion of Luo Jian. took the binoculars, looked carefully at the tent of the Qing army's camp, and saw that thousands of Qing soldiers led by a group of cavalry and slowly walked in the direction of the small earthen bag, and looked carefully at the red-clothed cannon position for a long time, before putting down the binoculars and handing them to Ren Minyu and saying, "Shi Ze, you can also take a look." ”

Shi Kefa turned his head to Luo Jian and said, "Lord Luo, seeing that the soldiers are surrounding again, it seems that they don't want to retreat!" This redcoat cannon still looks intact, can it still be used? "Shi Kefa is still worried about the red-coated cannon. Luo Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Inspector, this red-clothed cannon is completely destroyed and can't be used at all." Hearing Luo Jian say this, Shi Kefa felt relieved.

Next to him, Ren Minyu picked up the binoculars and found the white-armored soldiers who fell to the ground in front of the hill bag and counted them one by one, and there were words in his mouth, "Twenty-five, twenty-six... Thirty-two" After finishing speaking, he put down the binoculars and said to Shi Kefa and Liu Zhaoji: "Supervisor, General Liu, just now a few angels killed a total of thirty-two white-armored soldiers, I have counted them, not one is bad!" When Shi Kefa and Liu Zhaoji heard this, they gasped, and their eyes looked at Luo Jian with more and more admiration, and when the generals behind them heard this, they all opened their mouths wide and said nothing.

You must know that the Manchu Balaya soldiers are the most effective soldiers in this era, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, they are extremely well-equipped, and the white armor on their bodies cannot be pierced by ordinary firearms, just like humanoid tanks. Duoduo attacked the northwest all the way, but only a dozen or so Balaya soldiers were killed, and only eight people were actually killed.

The people upstairs were far away and couldn't see it really, but they didn't know that there were only nine real Balaya soldiers among them, and the rest were Mongolian cavalry. Although everyone was amazed, Luo Jian didn't care, whether he was a white-armored soldier or a Mongolian cavalryman, you were dressed as an iron man, and you were also a gun or two holes in front of modern guns.

Luo Jian waved his hand indifferently and said to Shi Kefa: "Inspector, I have an idea, can you ask the Inspector to find a place for the three of me to settle down, and I will explain it to the Inspector in detail?" As soon as he finished speaking, a civil official who stepped forward from behind said to Shi Kefa: "Inspector, I occupy a huge mansion alone, and my family is not here, why don't I move out and let the three angels rest in peace, it is not far from the courtyard where the Inspector lives." Luo Jian saw that his official robe was embroidered with a unicorn, but he didn't recognize what grade it was.

Shi Kefa pointed to the official in front of him and said to Luo Jian: "This is He Gang and He Futai, the prefect of Zunyi, the courtyard where he lives is very spacious, and it is suitable for the three of them to rest there." He turned his head to Ren Minyu and said: "Shi Ze, you go over and bring someone to clean up the yard first, find a few more people to serve a few angels, and pick the honest and diligent ones, I will take Luo Angels and them over to rest, and arrange a banquet for a few angels to pick up the wind and wash the dust in the evening, and make it more sumptuous." ”

Luo Jian wondered how the Zunyi prefect was in this Yangzhou city, but he didn't know that He Gang was originally Shi Kefa's subordinate, so he was appointed as the prefect of Zunyi, and he was surrounded by Qing soldiers in Yangzhou City before he took office. Then he thought that soon after the Qing soldiers besieged the city, there would be no shortage of food in the city, and he didn't care about Shi Kefa's arrangement of a banquet.

While walking down the city tower, he said to Shi Kefa: "It's not necessary to find someone to serve, I'm used to taking care of myself." ”

"Several angels have worked hard all the way, and it is right to find someone to serve." Shi Kefa was very polite. He turned to Liu Zhaoji and said, "Please ask General Liu to arrange for Deputy General Wang Zecheng to bring a team of reliable soldiers to Luo Angel and them as escorts." Liu Zhaoji responded.

After walking down the city tower, Luo Jian saw that the small open space in front of him was crowded with armored cars and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, although people were crowded, no one touched the car, and there were many people standing on stools on the streets a little farther away looking here. Liu Weimin sat on the bumper and looked at Wang Qiang with a smile, Wang Qiang stepped on the bumper and was foaming at the mouth to tell everyone about the deeds of the Qing soldiers in the war just now, and heard Wang Qiang say that he killed more than 100 Qing soldiers alone, including more than 30 white-armored cavalry, and there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd of onlookers, and Wang Qiang looked like a god.
