? Chapter 29 The Great War Unveiled

The city 'gate' of Baoding Mansion is not only made of giant wood soaked in tung oil, but also wrapped with iron sheet on the outside, and the whole city 'gate' is nailed tightly with huge iron nails. Such a city 'gate', even if it collides with a rushing car, it will not be able to break open in a while and a half. If mud and rubble are piled up in the 'gates' and 'holes' of the city, leaving no gaps, and the 'gates' of the city are used as barriers, the 'gates' of the city are not necessarily much inferior in color compared to the surrounding city walls.

However, after all, this is facing the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, not the thief army, let alone the Tartars, this kind of self-sealing of the city 'gate', unless it is absolutely necessary, Han Sande will definitely not lose fame and fortune, so behind this city 'gate', except for some soldiers, there is nothing left.

Two projectiles, the people in the city, as if hearing two muffled thunders in the sky, slammed into the city gate violently and unstoppably, and then there was a loud sound that shook the mountains. The soldiers near the city 'gate' suddenly stood unsteadily, staggering to the ground, and the ones closest to the city 'gate' turned out to be bleeding from mouth and nose, and they were stunned, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

"The officers and soldiers have attacked the city, the officers and soldiers have attacked the city!" There was an uproar in the city, this 'chaos', even including the soldiers under Chen Garrison, this was transferred to the head of the city to defend, and transferred to the head of the city to defend the city, these are two concepts, making a gesture is a matter of one thing, and the soldiers and horses of the two imperial courts are fighting, which is another thing.

Han Sande also sat on the ground with his butt, he was not shocked, he was purely 'leg' weak.

"My lord, my lord, you have to make a decision, they are loading again, are we blocking the city gate!" Chen Shoubei picked him up and said quickly in his ear.

"You can't fill it in, if you fill it in, you'll be stuck to death!" Although Han Sande's face was pale, he still maintained a somewhat calm appearance: "They are just intimidating us, don't they just want military rations, can they use such a poor and vicious one?" ”

He called a subordinate and ordered him a few words, Chen Shoubei's ears were still a little unbright, and he faintly heard him say to the man, granary, hurry up or something, his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Han Sande was 'lustful' and inward, if this pedantic guy decided to carry it to the end, then he was really a little difficult to do, these soldiers and horses, they went to open the thieves over there, asked for food, gave them it, and what are they called, I have to let people bombard a few cannons, this is grass' Chicken', these scholars, are all this virtuous, eat hard and not soft.

The two 'doors' outside the city, it seems to have been loaded, but they did not continue to 'fire', but the cannon port pointed to this side by Sen Sensen made people feel a little chilled, on the head of the city, there were already few people, not the military order, there was no need to join in the crowd on the city, and they had already walked cleanly, who would be so stupid to stand on the head of the city to be bombarded, do you know that the shells are Zhang San or Li Si?

The other party's camp hurriedly came out with a handful of people, stumbled to the city, and shouted loudly to the city, not the sentence Zhou Lei, obviously Zhou Lei also saw and heard the movement, and he also looked like he was 'messed up'.

The city quickly put down the basket, and it was strange to say that in the case of two 'gates' of artillery, the movements of these soldiers were faster than usual, I don't know how much, as soon as they changed their lazy appearance, they all worked very hard, and after a while, Zhou Lei appeared in front of Han Sande.

"How's it going, do you see that aftermaze?" Han Sande asked hurriedly, not caring about Zhou Lei's breath not even breathing, this feeling of being like a thorn was too uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Lei was a little embarrassed, "I didn't know to see General Yu, but the lower official paid a visit to his counselor, Master Chen!" ”

Han Sande frowned slightly, Yu Feng actually didn't see the person he sent out, which was too big, but looking at the cannon port under the city, he was relieved again, everything in this person has been done, can he still care if he is domineering or not.

"My lord, then Lord Chen said, their army is just transiting, this thief is the important task of the imperial court, naturally there is no prevarication, not only the army must fight to kill the thief, in this place, the money should be contributed, and there must be no ambiguity, General Yu's temper he knows, if our Baoding Mansion must be against the army, then he has to bring someone to take it himself!"

"See!" Although Han Sande had long known that this might be the ending, he still smiled bitterly, he knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place, not only did he not 'show' his own style, but his face was cut down.

"My lord, I'm afraid we have to be quicker, this Chen joined the army and gave us two hours, if we don't move before dark, they can send someone to get it!" The meaning of Zhou Lei's words is very clear, the military horses of this residual wind don't seem to plan to stay here, as if they are planning to spend the night here, take food today, and start pulling out tomorrow.

"It's okay, let's send the plague god!" Han Sande was stunned, since he was going to give in, it wouldn't be interesting for him to stay here any longer: "Don't bother the second master, I have already ordered the grain depot to be prepared, this matter, just bother Lord Zhou once!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Zhou Lei's reaction, flicked his sleeves, and turned around like this, leaving Zhou Lei standing there alone, looking at his somewhat gloomy back, and gradually moving away.

.....．

For this 'episode' that happened in Baoding, Yu Feng did not pay much attention, although there was some resistance in the locality, but he showed a little 'exposed' toughness, this grain and grass was not obediently delivered, and even, even his own itinerary was not delayed at all.

When he went to Shunde, he knew what means to use to deal with these local officials who were still lucky, and sure enough, the cannon was a sharp weapon, especially in the field of deterrence, far from being comparable to a few muskets, and two cannons were fired in Baoding, and when he arrived in Shunde, he was too lazy to wait for people to come to his camp, while camping, while posing for a siege, Shunde Mansion simply did not even have the slightest intention of resisting, and directly met his requirements. This made him a little intoxicated with this feeling, feeling like everything was given by him in this Daming.

After Shunde Mansion, the days of Ansheng are finally over. Zhao Deng came with news from the front, his cavalry had come into contact with one of the homeless people, although the thousands of homeless, under the charge of the cavalry, rushed to the wolf and collapsed, but this made Yu Feng begin to be alert.

So far, in addition to knowing that the opponent he will face is Cao 'Cao' Luo Rucai, the number of the exile army, the establishment, and the combat power are not very clear, besides, this time, he is considered to be a lone army, and he does not want to bring his men and horses into the vast sea of the wandering army.

The pace of the army's march slowed down, strictly according to the daily march speed of three miles or movement, and every time he camped, he must have a clear understanding of the surrounding enemy situation, with Zhao Deng not advancing but retreating, and the 'fine' British battalion Yin Sheng was sent out to carry out large-scale activities, and a current situation map gradually appeared in front of him.

A few months ago, Li Zicheng was still wandering around in the mountainous areas of the belly of the fish, and he was once in a slump, and there were only a few hundred horsemen left around him, but when everyone in the world thought that Li Zicheng had disappeared from now on, Li Zicheng seized a gap in the encirclement of the general Zuo Liang 'jade', jumped out of the encirclement, and crossed Huguang overnight and entered Henan.

Then, things developed in a state where everyone in the world was dumbfounded, almost without warning, so to speak, it was as if there was a god and man to help, in just a few days, Li Zicheng's hundreds of horses, like blowing up balloons, swelled to hundreds of thousands. These hundreds of thousands of people, compared with the people and horses he was scattered before, the combat strength has increased instead of decreasing, in addition to the backbone of the large number of displaced people he was in Henan at the beginning, and more importantly, he has absorbed a lot of scholars.

"All the fields under the world. Let there be no distinction between rich and poor" This slogan was put forward for the first time by the army of King Chuang, of course, there is also the slogan that even Yu Feng is too familiar to be familiar with, "Welcome the king, look forward to the king, and the king will not pay for food when he comes". With this group of scholars with high cultural quality joining Li Zicheng's army, Li Zicheng's army is undoubtedly an extremely attractive place for ordinary people who are trying to survive everywhere.

And Cao '' Luo Rucai, who entered Henan from Shaanzhou, has also made such a huge increase in strength. At this moment, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, one gathered troops in Luoyang, and the other Chen soldiers in Kaifeng, it is no exaggeration to say that the stage in Henan is the world of these two, and among these two, Li Zicheng is a veritable boss.

Fortunately, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, is still a capable person, and the governor Li Xianfeng is also a capable official, and the two of them tried their best to keep these big cities, but it is only these big cities, as for those rural towns, they are just powerless, and there is already the world of the exile army.

There is cooperation and conflict among the displaced people, but in general, there is still much more cooperation than conflict. In addition to the backbone of each family, those clothes on the periphery of the homeless army, today belong to the command of King Chuang, tomorrow and tomorrow for Cao Cao's service, this is a very normal thing, these years, the homeless army does not expect military salaries at all, a sentence can eat a full stomach to live, it is enough to pull away a large group of people. In the final analysis, these peripheral outcasts are all trying to survive, and only those core generals and big men have the ambition to do something in this 'chaotic' world.

However, this also brought confusion to Yu Feng, and he couldn't even judge whether the exiled army that Zhao Deng encountered was Li Zicheng's subordinate or Luo Rucai's subordinate. Yu Feng is confident, but if he can not provoke two opponents, he still doesn't want to provoke two opponents, no one will be idle and complain that he has few opponents.
