? Chapter Twenty-Eight: Whoever 'fools' scares whom

Zhou Lei has been in this position for more than ten years, and he has never been able to move his nest, no matter how outstanding his ability is, there is no one on it, and his career has stopped here, and he himself can be regarded as open, in recent years, he has thought about it in that direction.

But right now, this thankless errand fell on his head, and he really couldn't shirk it, not to mention anything else, as soon as Han Sande's voice landed, the eyes of his colleagues around him were all focused on him, and he could see that these eyes were a little complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was happiness or pity, maybe there was a little indifference in it. At this time, can he open his mouth to refuse?

If he refuses, not to mention that the saliva of his colleagues will drown him, even the Chen Shoubei who is eyeing him next to Lord Han is afraid that he will not bypass him.

"Yes! I'll do it! He took the errand with some bitterness.

"Don't open the gates!" Han Lei commanded, and shouted loudly: "Come on, find a few baskets, and send Lord Zhou down to the city, well, Lord Zhou might as well bring a few sergeants, bring some gold, silver, wine and the like!" ”

So, the thousands of households of the new army under the city suddenly found that after being silent for a while, a few large baskets were slowly hung down from the city.

"This general, this general!" As soon as Zhou Lei approached the thousand households, he found that the faces of the thousands of households were really ugly, and hurriedly explained: "This official is the general judgment of Baoding Mansion, and I am ordered by the prefect to ask to see the commander of your army, and I also ask the general to introduce him on my behalf!" ”

As he spoke, his eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the few servants who were moving things from the basket: "Baoding Mansion will definitely not ask the general to go in vain!" ”

The thousand households looked like they were hell-sighted, looking at the official in front of him, just now the prefect was shouting at the head of the city, he knew that this Baoding Mansion was afraid that it was going to be repaid, at this time, this guy rushed to ask to see the general, he must have said this thing, didn't he know how to write the word "death"? Baoding Mansion does not produce military rations, and the general will either take the pioneer Zhao Deng out of anger, or take the Baoding Mansion out, and he will always have to settle down, the question is, will the general's elbow turn out?

"Come with me!" It wasn't until he looked at Zhou Lei that he felt uncomfortable, and he popped out of his teeth, and he didn't care about him, he turned around and walked towards his camp, and Zhou Lei hurriedly led someone to follow.

From beginning to end, from the new army to send people to 'negotiate' with the people in the city, to the people who 'negotiated' this and brought back the people of the other party, not many people in the camp on the new army's side paid attention to this, and all the people were sitting on their own affairs in an orderly manner, camping, fetching water, cooking, it seems that this kind of thing is not what they care about at all.

Zhou Lei saw such a scene from the moment he walked into the big 'gate', except for the occasional time when he passed by in the sight of the soldiers, these soldiers would look at him who was obviously different from their clothes, and take a few more looks, and not many people showed a little interest. And Zhou Lei also found that along the way, these soldiers are basically strong and strong, and occasionally see a few thinner ones, but they are also full of red light, it seems that it is due to physique, and it has nothing to do with whether they are hungry or not.

Sure enough, it's a tiger and wolf soldier! Quietly observing the soldiers' physique, he made another discovery, these soldiers he saw were basically wearing armor, even the ordinary soldiers who looked at the most basic level, they were also wearing cotton armor, and those wearing leather armor were all over the camp, and those generals were almost the same as the general who led the way in front, and their bodies were black and shiny iron armor. After reading these, he looked at the few servants with gold and silver behind him, this gift, it seems that he can't take it, this military horse, I don't know how much silver money was spent, people's hearts, it is definitely not this simple two thousand taels of silver can be moved.

"Wait here, I'll inform the general!" I don't know how many camps I passed, Zhou Lei came to a big camp, and the thousand households who led the way said to him coldly, and walked directly towards the camp. Zhou Lei stood honestly in place, the soldiers patrolling around the camp did not turn a blind eye to him because he was brought in by his own people, but on the contrary, more eyes were watching, and this gaze, falling on him, made him feel like he was being stared at by wolves in the wilderness.

He naturally knew that the big tent in front of him was afraid that it was his destination, and the owner of these eyes was only afraid that it was the personal guard of the Marshal Yu who he asked to see.

"From Baoding Mansion?" A general who seemed a little loose came over, and his voice seemed a little frivolous.

However, Zhou Lei did not underestimate the other party, even if the other party was wearing nothing more than a dirty leather armor, in fact, this military horse had subverted all his understanding of the Ming military horse, and on other people's territory, he really didn't dare to do anything that might 'provoke' the other party, even in words, it was the same.

"Baoding Mansion is sentenced, and we are waiting for Yu Dashuai's reception!" He replied decently.

"What the hell are you doing!" The general said a little teasingly: "Our army came from afar, and your Baoding Mansion is guarding us like a thief, I said, you are brave enough to be 'fat', those officials before Tianjin have also done this, do you know what is happening to Tianjin now?" ”

He smiled contemptuously, passed past Zhou Lei, and ignored Zhou Lei, who was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Your uncle, this aftermath is the 'officers and soldiers' who broke Tianjin, occupied it for several months, and then had to let the imperial court pinch its nose and recognize it?" Zhou Lei felt that his 'legs' and stomach were a little trembling, that Yu Feng, it is said that he has killed a lot of people in Tianjin, including many officials, and he has not seen a serious word from the imperial court, how did this evil god come to Baoding!

"Han Sande, I am your eighth-generation ancestor!" He was scolding his boss in his heart, and by the way, he regretted that he was in the city at the time, why didn't he be tough, this errand, where is the danger, it is simply nine deaths! This bullshit Han Sande, isn't this just a communiqué' 'private' vendetta that sent him to death?

"The general will pass you in!" The Qianhu who led the way, walked out, still looking at the dead, looked at him, said coldly, he nodded indifferently, straightened his clothes, and followed him, towards the big tent like a beast with a bloody mouth, and walked over.

.....．

"This Zhou Lei is usually a good person, why is it so procrastinating this time, there has been no response for so long!"

At the head of the city, Han Sande and Chen Shoubei, both of them had a tired 'color' on their faces, and they were highly nervous for two or three hours, even if they were iron beaters, they would be tired.

"Wait, wait!" Han Sande himself didn't have much confidence, and his unfettered safety was in danger of this restless Chen Shoubei.

"It's moving, it's moving! Garrison Lord! ”

The shouts of the soldiers came and went, Han Sande and Chen Garrison Huo Ran were startled, and hurriedly rushed to the city from the sheltered place, and the flags were waved on the opposite side, and a team of soldiers hugged something, walked out of the other party's camp, and slowly advanced towards the city gate.

"What are they going to do, lawlessness, lawlessness!" Han Sande was a little flustered, as those soldiers got closer and closer, he could see clearly, these soldiers were clustered, it was clearly two big carts, several healthy horses in front of the car, struggling to move forward, and the objects on the cart had been outlined, not two 'guns', what were they.

"Where's our cannon, what about our cannon?" Looking at the soldiers, in a place of almost half a mile, stopped, unhurriedly unloaded these two 'guns', and then, piled up the soil, it was clearly about to 'shoot', he was a little panicked, as for Zhou Lei, he had long forgotten about it at this moment.

"My lord, my lord, our cannon can't hit that far!" Chen Shoubei also explained a little tremblingly, in fact, what he wanted to say more was, even if he could fight so far, would he dare to fight? This city is not those wandering army with wooden sticks, this is the tens of thousands of court 'elites' who are really armed to the teeth, he can swear by his future, with the soldiers and horses in his hands now, if the soldiers and horses under this city want to attack the city, he will definitely not be able to support it for half a day, no, maybe, not even two hours. At that time, everyone tore their faces, and once the city was broken, the first unlucky ones would definitely be these officials.

"Or, Chen Shoubei, you take people out and kill them?" Han Sande has already 'messed up', he even feels that it is no longer a wise move for him to stand on the head of the city now, the projectile of the artillery, it is impossible to distinguish which one is the prefect and which one is an ordinary soldier, as for Chen Garrison leading the army to open the city 'gate' out, whether it will be robbed into the city by the other party, that is not his professional consideration.

The city is still hesitating, the two 'gates' of artillery under the city have been quickly installed, and under the command of Angel, there are already soldiers who have begun to load the gunpowder and adjust the angle.

"Don't look at the city, but at the gate!" Angel scolded fiercely, "The general's order, let's just fire two cannons to deter the other party, and we don't want us to kill and injure those soldiers in the city!" ”

"How long do you have time to shoot!"

"Right now!" The soldiers were busy, and their team was answering the commander's words, and five minutes later, the first team to complete the preparation for the 'shooting' attack was reporting loudly: "The first team is ready, twice the amount of 'medicine', three pounds of projectiles, target, city 'gate', request 'shooting'!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another voice sounded not to be outdone: "The second team is ready, twice the amount of 'medicine', three pounds of projectiles, target, city 'gate', request 'shooting'!" ”

"Listen to me, shoot in unison, ignition!" Angel stepped back more than ten steps and commanded awe-inspiringly.
