Chapter 173: The Verge

But what I didn't expect was that due to the late autumn, the autumn was high and cool, dry and easy to fire.

The effect of this burning company camp was surprisingly good, and almost every squad of 2,000 people divided into ten squads was very fruitful.

The 70,000 people were divided into ten large camps, and they formed a corner to protect Sun Wenting's main camp.

But this kind of formation gave the four arson squads a chance.

Everywhere the team passed, there was a burst of fire, if it weren't for the fact that the kerosene bottle in his hand had been used up, it seemed that it could burn Sun Wenting's big tent.

Looking at the firelight in the sky, the sky gradually brightened, Hu Yongzhi smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems that these people are doing a good job, and they should be rewarded well when they go back."

Hu Yong's face was satisfied, and he directly waved the horsewhip and headed towards Huangzhou City.

In this way, after a day passed, Sun Wenting originally wanted to go straight to Huangzhou Mansion in one go.

Unexpectedly, due to the burning of the company camp, more of the grain and grass carried by the army were lost, which made him passive.

In the Chinese army camp, Sun Wenting looked at the messy military camp and felt bitter in his heart.

"Hateful! 70,000 elite soldiers have failed to leave the army but have fallen to such a point, it seems that I have really been in prison for the past three years. ”

Sun Wenting looked emotional, and sighed unbearably in his heart.

At the same time, he began to recall the high morale of the rebels back then, and originally thought that he would rise all the way from now on, but he did not expect to be imprisoned when he returned to Beijing.

In this way, he was released after squatting in prison for three years for no reason.

If he hadn't been in prison for three years, the world would have been pacified by him, and Sun Wenting couldn't help beating his chest when he thought of this.

It just so happened that this scene made Vice General Zhang, who came in, also surprised.

"Master Sun, your subordinates know that they are wrong, they shouldn't be so radical, you must not hurt your body, I will apologize with death."

Vice Admiral Zhang said with a panicked expression.

Then he saw Sun Wenting's resentful eyes, and he also knew what he had done, which made the entire army fall into passivity, and he couldn't help but pull out the sword at his waist, ready to die and apologize.

"Put it down for me, I know it's wrong, you still want to cut yourself, where is there such a good thing, now we have to work hard to cheer up the soldiers."

Sun Wenting's expression was solemn, but the momentum exuded from his body was very strong.

It seems that Sun Wenting at this time has returned to the god of war who once thwarted Li Zicheng and captured Gao Yingxiang alive.

"My lord, are you going to leave the camp now?"

Vice General Zhang looked at Sun Wenting in disbelief.

In his opinion, even if the grain and grass are burned, the subsequent grain and grass will arrive in three days, and he will not lose his fighting spirit because of a setback.

"Wrong, I'm going to attack Huangzhou City today."

Sun Wenting's expression was solemn, as if he had made a decision, and at the same time as his voice fell, he had already taken out the handsome seal.

Seeing this scene, Vice General Zhang immediately summoned all the generals.

Huangzhou City is surrounded by mountains on three sides more than ten miles away, which just controls the west gate of the entire Huangzhou City.

If you want to pass through this mountain, you must pass through this mountain.

At this time, 15,000 soldiers were stationed in the mountains on three sides.

With an independent water source, ample food and weapons reserves, it was a completely huge military fortress.

Hu Yongzhi stood in front of the wooden house where Li Yue once lived and looked down at the scene below the mountain, and he was also very excited.

"Mr. Wudu, you are right, relying on this mountain, you can block an army of 100,000 or even 200,000."

Hu Yong said with emotion on his face.

"Yes! I don't know why the young master has such foresight, knowing that this is definitely a place where bandits must pass, and everything is arranged here. ”

Wu Liangyong's face was full of admiration, and at this time, there was an indescribable sense of admiration for everything that Li Yue had arranged in advance.

"This crisis can only rely on President Wudu."

Hu Yong's face was guilty, and he seemed to have a different opinion about the plan proposed by Wu Liangyong before, and he felt very ashamed.

"Master Hu, there is no need to say this, my life was saved by the young master, and my young lady is now by the young master's side, and I will definitely guard the country for the young master."

Wu Liangyong's expression was calm, as if what he said was his oath.

At this time, while the two were talking, Sun Wenting's department, who came in a hurry, began to launch the most violent attack.

Originally, Sun Wenting knew that there were garrisons arranged by Li Yue in Sanhuan Mountain.

I wanted to bypass this place and go directly to Huangzhou City.

But when I think of the angle between the two, echoing each other, if you can't attack the city once, you will be attacked on the back, so you can only choose to take the Sanhuan Mountain first and then break through the Huangzhou City.

Sun Wenting's 70,000-strong army did not pour out, but was led by two generals each with 10,000 heavy armored infantry and advanced towards the Sanhuan Mountain.

When the battle was about to break out, Wu Liangyong rushed to the front line and began to command the defensive deployment.

……

Huainan Prefecture, Huaiyuan County

Li Yue had already returned to Huaiyuan County with his personal guards, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic when he saw that the ironworks had begun to smelt refined iron ore.

At the same time, he also knew that the steel refined at this time could not meet the standard of direct forging firearms, so he immediately stopped and entered the ironworks directly.

As the largest iron-making workshop in Huaiyuan County and even the entire Huainan Prefecture, Tang Ji smelting to Tang Yonggang is already the thirty-fourth generation, and has been inherited for nearly 700 years.

The steel filled and forged by Tang Ji Smelting Institute almost represents the ceiling of the entire southern smelting.

It's just that the steel forged by such exquisite technology cannot meet the standards for making firearms and artillery.

Tang Yonggang took the entire Tang family to submit to Li Yue, and after Li Yue was worried, the bottleneck of his forging technology could not be broken through again.

"Shaodong, we are one of the best smelting families in the entire southeast, and we have nothing to say about the steel-filled tools we refine, why are we so melancholy?"

Kou Ze, the Tang family's chief butler, asked puzzled.

"You know what? The young master asked for a filled steel that could forge firearms, and it was not easy to explode after use, not the kind used for swords and farm tools. ”

Tang Yonggang said with a sad face.

"Then we can't do this kind of thing, after all, the entire Ming Dynasty has never heard of it, whose refining steel can forge firearms, and it won't blow up the chamber."

Kou Zeyi said helplessly.

"I know that most of the firearms produced in the past are not up to standard, and they are easy to explode after a long time, but now the requirements are too strict."

Tang Yonggang frowned, looking loveless, as if he could not complete Li Yue's request.

Just when he was melancholy, Li Yue went straight to the place where the ironworks were located.

"Where is Tang Yonggang?"

Li Yue didn't get off the horse at all, and shouted loudly directly.
