Chapter 259: Plans to Annihilate the Enemy (3)
"My strategy for defending the city is to let the people into the city. ●⌒ Topline Novel, "
As soon as these words came out, there was a chorus of opposition in the lobby.
Fu Zonglong said: "Lord Zhu, you want to decide Guizhou's mind in a war, I understand. But doing so is too risky. Yi rebels, jackal heart. Along the way, you also see the ruined countryside. If the Yi people are allowed to enter the city, the tragedy of the countryside will be repeated in Guiyang City. Moreover, King Xin and you are both nobles, how can you take risks lightly? ”
Cai Fuyi even pointed to Zhu Youcheng's nose and asked: "Have you been bought by the Yiren, Guiyang City, which they have not been able to capture for a long time, you actually want to give it to them." Are you worthy of the emperor's kindness to you, and the trust of His Royal Highness King Xin? ”
Zhu Youcheng waved his hand again and again and said, "Listen to me slowly." ”
He took off the Guiyang city defense map hanging on the wall, spread it on the table, drew a circle in Guiyang City with his fingers, and said: "I want to build another city wall in it, not too high, just one zhang." Once the rebels find that the outer walls have been breached, they will inevitably rush in frantically. There is a wall in the way, they can't enter the inner city, they can only be congested between the inner and outer walls, crowded to the water, let alone holding a sword, even if it is very difficult to move, this is our chance, we take the opportunity to destroy the enemy between the inner and outer walls. And if we only defend the outer city wall, the enemy will leave as much as he wants, and he will come whenever he wants, and no matter how well we defend, we will only hurt the enemy's skin. Luring the enemy deep can lure the enemy to death, which can break the enemy to the ground and even cripple him. This is a very good opportunity that we must not pass up. Otherwise, when you return to the mountains, the 180,000 Yiren soldiers who are familiar with the terrain will be a nightmare. ”
As soon as Zhu Youcheng explained, everyone's mood calmed down. However, the calm calmed down, but no one supported Zhu Youcheng's idea. Even the King of Faith is the same.
King Xin said, "Brother Cheng, it's too risky. The high city wall of Guiyang is exactly what we can rely on. If you abandon the city wall and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, you will kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself. Although the Jinyi Guard is strong and strong. But if you lose too much in Guiyang, what will you do to fight Jiannu in the future? ”
King Xin used the strong enemy to persuade Zhu Youcheng to give up his plan to engage the enemy in close combat.
Cai Fuyi said: "Lord Zhu can destroy 20,000 rebels, and his ability is obvious to all. However, the abandonment of the city wall is too shocking and easy to cause misunderstanding among the foolish people. Lord Zhu is going to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, and the bad reputation will affect the governance of the adults. ”
Cai Fuyi used his future to lure Zhu Youcheng to give up his crazy strategy.
Fu Zonglong said: "Although Lord Zhu's plan is wonderful, the Yiren grow on the top of the high mountain, climb high and climb low like walking on the ground, and a one-zhang-high city wall can't stop the footsteps of the Yiren at all. In addition to the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the inner city. There are tens of thousands of civilians, how can they be victims under the butcher's knife? ”
Fu Zonglong used the safety of the common people to warn Zhu Youcheng to give up his plan to lure the enemy deeper.
Wang Yan and Zhang Xianglong also have their own opinions, in short, in a word, give up the radical plan and take the conservative line.
Everyone worked together to persuade Zhu Youcheng, and even if Zhu Youcheng's mouth could be said again, he couldn't say so many people.
The more Zhu Youcheng spoke, the more anxious he became. Finally, he took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, which was the secret decree given to him by the emperor. If he is allowed to act cheaply, officials below the fifth rank can cut it first and then play it. Cai Fuyi and Fu Zonglong have been cut to the people, and Zhu Youcheng can kill them speechless.
Who knew that Cai Fuyi and Fu Zonglong were not afraid.
Fu Zonglong said: "Ask for the life of the people, this official never cares about this life." Come, let me use my blood to save the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city. The last time Guiyang City was besieged, in the end there were only more than 4,000 people left. Now it's hard to recover a little bit of vitality, and the official can't bear them. ”
Zhu Youcheng's eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you dare to kill you when I do?" Sue you, even the Jiannu thief chief Nuer Ha Chi died in my hands, are you still afraid of your little former patrol and prison army? ”
His hand rests on the hilt of his waist knife. looks like he will hurt people if he doesn't agree with each other. King Xin moved a few steps to Zhu Youcheng's side, blocking between Fu Zonglong and Zhu Youcheng to prevent Zhu Youcheng from doing something wrong.
Zhu Youcheng was just scaring Fu Zonglong, he didn't dare to kill the official who asked for the people's life. If it was for his own selfish interests and disregarded the safety of the country, such as officials like Li Song who met in Dengzhou last time, and killed ten, he would not be relentless. But for Fu Zonglong's stubborn temper, he really has no choice. And after historical verification, Fu Zonglong is a loyal and unyielding minister, he unfortunately fell into the hands of thieves in Chongzhen's ten years, because he refused to open the city gate for the thieves and was killed, and died a heroic death.
"Hahaha......" Zhu Youcheng laughed loudly.
Fu Zonglong's face changed, he understood that killing people with his own hands was a very difficult thing to decide, and many people would make some strange moves in order to relieve their worries and fears before killing, the most common was laughter. Unexpectedly, today was his end, he closed his eyes, stiffened his neck, and said in his heart: "Come on, give me a good one." ”
The expected pain did not come, and Zhu Youcheng was only heard saying: "I have heard that Master Fu Zonglong Fu is a direct minister who is not afraid of death, try it today, and it is true." ”
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, Cai Fu said wholeheartedly, it was rumored that Zhu Youcheng acted recklessly and recklessly, but it seems that this is not the case.
Zhu Youcheng had no choice but to show the hole card of the pressure box: "Okay, I'll show you the secret weapon brought by Jinyiwei." You see if we can hold the inner walls with this weapon. ”
He whispered a few words to one of the guards. The guards were ordered to go out and bring back a big man with a knotted muscle.
Dahan pulled out a club-like weapon from his waist and handed it to Zhu Youcheng.
Zhu Youcheng handed it to the people in the lobby. It was found to be a very strange root, half of the top half of which was made of iron, and the lower half of which was made of wood, and a small tail, which was probably used for ignition. The iron halves are deeply engraved with deep patterns, criss-crossed, and I don't know what they mean.
Cai Fu beckoned and asked the soldier to take out a fire fold.
Zhu Youcheng was frightened and sweated, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Cai Fu looked innocent and said, "Then do you still need to ask?" Try it, of course. ”
"Do you want to kill us? Once this thing explodes, everything within a radius of one foot will be turned into powder, and if you light this thing here, not even one of you and me in the lobby will survive. ”
"Really, is the power of such a small thing so exaggerated?"
"Just give it a try. Do you have any smaller houses here that you want to tear down? ”
"Not really, but to verify your words, there's a kitchen behind here that allows you to make a real thing."
The group went to the kitchen at the back of the lobby.
Cai Fuyi asked all the idle people in the kitchen to go out, and was about to order a grenade by himself, but was stopped by Zhu Youcheng.
Cai Fuyi sneered and said, "What's wrong?" As soon as I heard that I wanted to be real, I was scared? ”
"No," Zhu Youcheng shook his head, "To be on the safe side, I have two requests. First, each of our officers must have a wooden plank in front of them to prevent the shrapnel from flying out of it from hurting people. You may have seen the pattern on the grenade, which is the pattern that shattered when it exploded. After the grenade exploded, countless small and sharp shrapnel flew in all directions, injuring no one. Second, grenades are thrown by the grenadiers of the Jinyi Guard, because they are most familiar with the performance of grenades and will not be killed by the grenades thrown by themselves. ”
Cai Fu saw that Zhu Youcheng said solemnly and did not insist. He thought, anyway, with so many pairs of eyes staring, Zhu Youcheng couldn't fake it.
As soon as he was ready to stop, the grenadier blew the fire rope around his neck, then used it to light the fuse of the grenade and throw it far towards the door of the kitchenette. It is worthy of the elite soldiers trained by the Jinyi Guard, and he threw it very accurately, only to see the grenade spinning and flying into the kitchen from the door accurately.
There was a loud explosion of "boom", followed by a "boom", and it was thought that the kitchen had collapsed.
The soldiers removed the wooden planks that stood in front of the officials, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the tragic scene after the explosion of the kitchen. The power of a grenade explosion is much greater than that of a flowering cannonball. That's natural, the flowering shell is only the size of a fist, and how many explosives can be loaded with the iron shell? And the grenade is fixed with a pound of black gunpowder, which is extraordinary.
There were a few coughs in the smoke, and everyone was taken aback, could it be that there was still someone in the kitchen who didn't come out?
Zhu Youcheng's guards pulled out their underwear and covered their mouths and noses, rushed into the smoke and dust, and after a while, they carried out a person. I saw that this person's back was dripping with blood, and Bai Sensen's bones were seen in several places.
The guards placed the man on the ground and reported that the man had collapsed under the wall behind the kitchen, and if it weren't for the wall of the kitchen to block the blast wave, he would have been given a few lives.
The man looked up with great difficulty and cried, "I'm just stealing you two greens, as for blowing me up with a cannon?" ”
Everyone was overwhelmed, and they didn't expect that in order to verify the power of the grenade, they would accidentally injure a thief.
Everyone saw that the power of the grenade was amazing, and everyone was happy. Wang Yan said: "This person is really unlucky, help him bandage it and let him go." He has been punished, and I hope that in the future he will repent and become a new man. ”
Knowing that the power of the grenade is amazing, everyone still refuses to let the Yiren enter the city and close the door to beat the dogs.
Zhu Youcheng had no choice but to retreat. He built the defenders of Guiyang City to defend the outer city wall, while the Jinyi guards did not participate in the defense of the city, and they hurried to build the inner city wall inside. If the defenders of Guiyang can't hold the outer city of Guiyang, then adopt the strategy proposed by Zhu Youcheng to close the door and beat the dogs.
Fu Zonglong and Cai Fuyi asked Zhu Youcheng to transfer a batch of grenades to the defenders of Guiyang. This request was rejected by Zhu Youcheng without thinking. Just kidding, all the grenades are lent to you, Guiyang City is safe, but how can you lure the enemy deeper, close the door and beat the dogs.
Not only that, Zhu Youcheng also gloated and told them: "The rebels may have trebuchets with a range of more than 150 paces. (To be continued......)
