Chapter 466 Bombardment of Li Chuang
The Imperial Palace, on the Golden Luang Palace.
Emperor Longqing sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the ministers below.
Dai Quan stood aside and shouted loudly, "There is a morning music, but there is no retreat."
Li Guanglu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received an urgent 800-mile rush from Ning Guogong, Yulin has been lost and has fallen into the hands of the rebels, the defenders in the city have almost been wiped out, and the whereabouts of Yang Yong, the general soldier of Taiyuan, are unknown."
"Shhh
When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
These Shaanxi bandits are so powerful, it has really become the climate, if they are not coerced, I am afraid that there will be a big disaster.
Fortunately, Jia Cong was sent out, and I don't know if I can exterminate those traitors.
Emperor Longqing frowned, but he was not too surprised by this result.
A big city like Chang'an City has been breached, how can a city like Yulin be able to hold it.
Yulin was able to hold on for more than a month, which is already very remarkable, and it is only a matter of time before he misses, but unfortunately he was not saved in time.
It's just that in this way, the whole of Shaanxi has fallen into the hands of the traitors, and I don't know where Jia Cong's kid is now.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, and asked, "Ning Guogong's team, where is it now?"
Li Guanglu said: "Back to Your Majesty, Ning Guogong is in Taiyuan for eight hundred miles of expedited, according to the time, at this time should have crossed the Yellow River and entered the border of Shaanxi."
Emperor Longqing nodded, Jia Cong, this kid is still relatively reliable, I hope he can change the situation of the battle and exterminate this group of bandits.
Regarding Jia Cong's ability, Emperor Longqing is still relatively confident.
Looking at Li Guanglu below, he said, "If there is any more news from Shaanxi, notify me immediately."
Li Guanglu arched his hand and said, "The old minister obeys the order."
Emperor Longqing looked at Song Yan below again and asked, "Song Aiqing, I don't know how the disaster relief food is prepared?"
Song Yan, the secretary of the household department, said: "Back to Your Majesty, the household department has prepared 100,000 stone of grain, which will be shipped to Shaanxi in the near future and delivered to Lord Li."
Emperor Longqing said, "Do you know how many wealthy people in the capital are involved in transporting grain to Shaanxi?"
Song Yan said: "Back to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Ning Guogong has prepared 200,000 stone of grain, and the Rongguo Mansion and the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce are also buying grain on a large scale, and they will be transported to Shaanxi together with Ning Guogong's grain team. A few others are also involved, but most are on the fence. With this grain to be shipped to Shaanxi, it should be enough in the short term."
Shui dissolved and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has also prepared a batch of grain, which will be transported to Shaanxi with Ning Guogong's grain team, and make a modest contribution."
Niu Jizong also said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister also asked people to buy a batch of grain and transport it to Shaanxi together to relieve the victims."
Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding said: "Back to Your Majesty, although the minister's family is poor, they are willing to serve the country, smash pots and sell iron, and also raise a batch of grain, ready to be transported to the disaster area."
Prince Zhongshun arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, my brother's family has modest resources, and he is also willing to serve the country and relieve the people in the disaster area."
The Nine Princes said, "Your Majesty, the younger brother is also ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท."
The eleventh prince said, "Your Majesty, my brother ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท."
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Many people came forward one after another, all of them looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they were all good ministers who were loyal to the monarch and patriotic.
The corners of Emperor Longqing's mouth twitched, and he cursed in his heart.
This group of unprofitable bastards, when they let them do something, they shrank their necks one by one as quails, and now they are profitable, and they are more active than anyone else.
But it's okay to do this, with these people coming forward, they can save a lot of money and food for the imperial court.
When these people make a lot of money, more people will be involved.
In this way, the food crisis in Shaanxi can also be eased, and the price of grain will slowly fall, which can be regarded as a good thing.
Jia Cong, this kid, really came up with a good way to serve the country
The burden on the home is reduced.
Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "Okay, you love Qing, be loyal to the monarch and love the people, contribute to the country, and be a model for the world."
When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison, "My Emperor Shengming."

Jia Cong sat on the cloud horse, standing in front of the army.
The heavily armed Qingwen, and Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, as well as his own soldiers are guarding him.
The handsome banner above the head is hunting.
After that, it was convenient to see the forbidden military team, and the other teams were lined up on both sides, posing for a decisive battle.
From a distance, a large area of the entire army was pressed, like a sea of people, and there was no end in sight.
It is said that there are 10,000 people, and there is no boundary, and these 100,000 troops are in a big array, and they really can't see the end at a glance.
Jia Cong held the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the other party's army carefully, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.
The other party came from afar, and he didn't even set up a camp, so he hurriedly set up a position, which was to fight a big battle with himself.
It seems that Li Chuang is a little arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't take himself seriously, which is also a bit too contemptuous.
In that case, let's give him a lesson that he will never forget.
Looking at this posture, it will take a while to completely open the formation, but will you give him this time?
Answer: No, I don't tell the enemy any rules.
He wanted to use this battle to establish his authority, and Li Chuang took the initiative to send it to the door, which was destined to fail.
Turning to Qingwen, he said, "Qingwen, send a signal to Li Biao and let him start shelling."
"Yes, Marshal."
Qingwen agreed, and raised her hand to shoot an arrow into the sky.
A flash of fire accompanied by a hissing sound pierced the sky and resounded through the clouds.
When everyone heard the voice, they all looked up involuntarily, most of them had a blank look on their faces, only some shrewd people, and there were some more conjectures in their hearts.
Before everyone could come to their senses, they heard the sound of "boom, boom" cannon fire one after another.
As they followed, they saw countless fireballs flying out from one side, falling into the enemy's camp, and then exploding. Immediately afterwards, bursts of screams, roars, and angry scolding sounded faintly in the ears amid the sound of artillery fire.
Seeing that the enemy camp on the opposite side began to riot.
The soldiers on the side of the court looked at this scene dumbfounded, and then reacted and looked at their handsome with a shocked face.
Sure enough, there is no void under the fame, and his handsome man unknowingly set up an ambush, and even the people on his own side don't know, this secret kung fu is really powerful.
In this way, the battle is almost won.
To be able to follow the big handsome expedition, it was really my luck, and this time I really earned it.
Countless people already have a plan in their hearts, and they are full of confidence in this war, and unconsciously, the morale of the army began to gradually rise.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
The moment Li Chuang saw the arrow, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Before he could react, one by one the fiery red shells fell into his camp with a roar, and exploded with a "boom", and the nearby soldiers were instantly emptied.
Stumps and severed arms flew in the air, screams, roars, and explosions mingled with the sound of artillery fire.
Looking at the cannonballs constantly flying in the sky, Li Chuang angrily jumped to his feet and scolded: "Bastard, bastard, Jia Cong, this bastard, doesn't talk about martial arts at all, and before Lao Tzu can put on a position, he actually started to sneak attack, it's really despicable and shameless."
[In view of the general environment,
In this era, when the two armies were fighting, they generally first set up a position, called each other for formation, fought generals, and then tentatively launched several small-scale engagements, and finally the two armies clashed and fought a decisive battle.
This battle was fought down and lasted for a couple or two
Months are normal.
Niu Xing looked at the chaotic army in front of him and the constantly flying cannonballs, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and gradually felt a trace of fear in his heart.
Looking at Li Chuang, who was furious next to him, he couldn't help but shrink his head, and asked boldly: "Big brother, what should we do now, this situation is a bit not optimistic, let them continue to bombard like this, but it will blow up the courage of the brothers, and when the time comes, we will not need to kill the army on the opposite side, and we will be scattered ourselves."
Li Chuang also understood the truth, looked up at the direction where the artillery fire was coming, and said hatefully, "Brother Niu, you take 10,000 horses and horses to serve me those who are shooting artillery."
Niu Xing said, "Okay big brother, brother, let's do it."
But just a few steps away, a cannonball flew towards this direction.
Niu Xingtong shrank his hole, quickly pounced forward, and then rolled forward, went out five or six meters, turned his head and shouted at Li Chuang, "Big brother be careful."
At this time, Li Chuang also found the cannonballs flying towards him, and he couldn't help but feel dead for a moment.
He had seen the power of this thing, and once it exploded around him, there was almost no chance of survival, so he quickly hid to the side. Fortunately, the guards around him also reacted and rushed forward to block him.
"Be careful, big handsome."
"Boom."
The cannonball exploded next to it, it was a flowering shell, and the steel balls in it were scattered in all directions, hitting twenty or thirty people in an instant, and the wails and screams rang out one after another.
The people who were closest were directly blown out, and they were silent in an instant.
Six or seven of the guards guarding Li Chuang's side were also hit, and three of them were killed directly, but Li Chuang escaped.
Niu Xing hurriedly ran over and asked anxiously, "Big brother, are you okay, but you scared my brother to death."
Li Chuang's face was dark, he was also frightened just now, and he almost walked around on the verge of death, if it weren't for the protection of those guards, he himself would probably be finished.
Looking at Niu Xing's anxious eyes, his mood was a little better.
"I'm fine, thanks to the brothers around me who sacrificed their lives to protect me, Brother Niu, quickly go and destroy those cannons, and then let him bombard, this battle will not have to be fought."
"Okay big brother, brother is going to clean them up."
After Niu Xing finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.
Li Chuang looked at the chaotic army in front of him, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes, if the army on the opposite side came to kill at this time, how could he resist it?
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the army opposite, his eyes flashing with incomparable anger.
Hurriedly ordered his generals to go down to appease his subordinates.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Li Biao stood on a small mound in the distance, holding a clairvoyant mirror and scanning the army below.
Looking at the enemy troops running around under the bombing, he couldn't help but show a cruel smile on his face.
He shouted at the artillerymen, "Keep bombarding, aim at crowded areas."
"Yes, Lord, we know what to do."
These gunners were a hundred guards brought over by Li Biao, all of whom had been trained and could operate both muskets and artillery proficiently.
In addition, there are many people below, there is almost no need to aim, and every shot must hit, in order to increase the lethality, this time all the flowering shells are used.
Assisted by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, they couldn't help but be a little shocked when they saw the power caused by the artillery.
Li Chengzu, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, stood beside Li Biao, looking at the chaotic enemy troops below, and was a little dumbfounded, can this battle still be fought like this?
The enemy below is completely in a situation of being beaten passively, and if there is enough artillery, wouldn't it be a direct annihilation of the enemy.
The army on his side has not yet moved, and if he pounces on it at this time, the enemy army will definitely be defeated.
For this young handsome, I can't help but secretly admire it, no wonder he has such a big reputation, and it really deserves his reputation.
"Commander Li, we have won this battle, Ning Guogong
That's how we used to fight?"
Li Biao nodded and said with a smile: "When we fight a war, we have always been unexpected, unprepared, strategic, and victorious. These rebels are unlucky to meet our commander."
Hearing this, Li Chengzu became even more curious about Jia Cong.
is so young, but has such resourcefulness, and even more so skillful, it is really a genius.
"Commander Qiyu, there is an enemy team, about 10,000 people, coming towards our side, with a clear goal, to deal with us."
Li Biao laughed and said, "These people finally reacted, and they came just in time, just in time to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Brother Li, it's up to you Shenji Battalion next, in order to effectively hit the enemy, let's implement three-stage shooting."
Li Chengzu said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't worry, with the cover of the trenches, not only is it much safer, but it is also easier to target the enemy, and it will definitely not disappoint the commander."
With that, Li Chengzu walked down the hillside.
On the mountainside below, three trenches were dug, and six thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were already distributed among the trenches, waiting for the order to attack.
Li Chengzu shouted: "All the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion obey the order, all of them are ready to fight, they all listen to me, everyone follows the order, and they are not allowed to shoot without my order."
"Obey the Commander's orders."

A moment later, Niu Xing rushed up the hillside with 10,000 horses.
Seeing that victory was in sight, he couldn't help laughing: "Brothers, rush up for me, rob me of all the cannons above, and then turn around and hit those *** officers and soldiers."
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
The rebels, too, knew the power of the artillery, and rushed up the hillside with a roar.
But as soon as he rushed halfway up the mountain, he heard a shout from above: "First row, release."
Then, I heard the sound of "ping-pong" muskets above, which rang out one after another, and countless black dots shot out and shot into the crowd, countless screams rang out one after another, and the crowd in front of them fell directly.
Niu Xing's face changed, and he shouted, "It's not good to have an ambush, it's a musket."
