Chapter 371: Surprise Attack
Zhang Xianfeng was already full of vigilance when Wu Jin spoke, and when he heard what he said, he kept thinking about what to deal with in his mind, and at the same time secretly said that it was a pity that such a character was exiled here.
He shook his head and said: "It's not for nothing, it's really not, I just came here to deliver the decree, and I don't have anything to do with political affairs, and I don't know anything about how to place redundant soldiers, so it's better for Governor Wu to write a letter directly to Your Majesty."
Wu Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty's dictation, give preferential treatment to Kuanzhou, if I submit a letter of recital, other states will learn about it, but it will ruin Your Majesty's good intentions, or Zhang Fengfeng will convey it on your behalf, and we will wait for Your Majesty's will in Kuanzhou."
"Come and go, the time it takes ......" Zhang Xianfeng immediately understood that Wu Jin was dragging the matter of eliminating redundant soldiers - Wu Jin was well versed in the methods of the court, as long as he had the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, he could drag on big things and small things, and nothing about small things.
He was not Wu Jin's opponent, pursed his lips and made a meaningless smile, picked up the teacup, opened the lid, put it to his mouth and gently blew the heat dissipation, and was about to drink it, when suddenly there was a loud "boom", like a thunderclap exploding, and the ice and snow were shattered.
The tea cup in his hand shook violently, and the tea soup was splashed and sprinkled, falling all over his chest.
Mo Lingfeng, who had just been motionless, suddenly got up, his expression was solemn, and there was a "bang" outside the house at the same time, it was the guards who came out of the front yard on both sides, and the armor on their bodies was flapping.
The guards stood in pairs, with a murderous aura under their feet, and the entire Hou Mansion became silent.
Zhang Xianfeng hurriedly put down the teacup, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and saw that Wu Jin and Hou Fuzhong both stood up with solemn expressions, and also got up.
He looked at Mo Lingfeng, who walked to the door, and his heart jumped suddenly: "What's wrong?"
Hou Fuzhong said in a low voice, "It should be the Jin Yu raid and the use of gunpowder."
Mo Lingfeng, who had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot, suddenly turned around and walked towards Zhang Xianfeng, his face was expressionless, he grabbed Zhang Xianfeng's arm, dragged him forward hard, and dragged him out of the house: "Zhang Xianfeng is His Majesty's eyes and mouthpiece, whether there are useless soldiers in Kuanzhou, Zhang Xianfeng will know at a glance." Look at the book
Hou Fuzhong hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted, "General Mo—"
Wu Jin gently pressed Hou Fuzhong's hand, and his face was pleasant: "The nobles have dragon qi to protect their bodies, so don't worry."
Hou Fuzhong was stunned, thinking, "The dragon is thousands of miles away, how can he manage this matter."
Mo Lingfeng dragged Zhang Xianfeng to the door, pushed forward hard, Zhang Xianfeng tripped on the threshold with one foot, and the whole person fell down.
However, he didn't fall, because Yin Nan took action, grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck, lifted him up, and dragged him out.
Zhang Xianfeng hurriedly shouted, "Wait...... Wait......"
No one waited, the sky was already billowing black smoke, Mo Lingfeng went straight out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, turned over and got on the horse, the guards also got on the horse neatly, Yin Nan pushed Zhang to worship, and then jumped up, sat down behind Zhang Xianfeng, stretched out his arm, held the bridle with one hand, and held the whip with the other.
People are good at riding, and war horses are also fast, Zhang Xianfeng sat on the horse, feeling that the flesh all over his body was trembling in the wind, and the soap-colored cloak of Mo Lingfeng in front of him had been turned into giant wings by the wind.
The street scene surprised him even more.
The streets were full of people at noon, but no one panicked, but quickly gave way - as if war had become a rurkey in their lives, and as if they trusted the fortress to keep them safe.
The horse galloped forward, and Zhang Xianfeng smelled the smell of gunsmoke, shivering with cold, and his eyes were black—he had left Kuanzhou City, which was safe enough, and entered the barren wilderness through the city gate.
The drawbridge rumbled down, the snow was all over the sky, the horse's hooves stepped on the bridge without hesitation, the flags on the high wall were hunting, the killing cries were deafening, and for a moment, he almost felt the flags on the high wall lapping on his face.
The war horse ran across the drawbridge, the soldier dragged the iron chain to put away the drawbridge again, as soon as he entered the fortress, Zhang Xianfeng immediately saw the army phalanx stretched here, the war horse neighed, the army solemnly waited for the general's order, the nomadic Qing rode on the horse, holding the flag, the word "Mo" on the flag swept with the wind, and this quiet opposite, is the sound of attack and defense on the city tower.
Nomad Qing turned over and dismounted, and immediately the commander and commander dismounted, and bowed: "General!"
Nomad Qing then said loudly, "General! Nearly 5,000 people have come with artillery!"
He glanced at Zhang Xian, whose legs were trembling, as if he were looking at a dead man.
Mo Lingfeng folded the horsewhip in two and slapped his palm: "Soldiers, listen—"
Her voice became louder and louder, and it was passed out layer by layer.
"Your Majesty will cut out those who are over fifty and those who are weak in the army to replenish the national treasury!"
She pointed to Zhang Feng, who was restrained on a horse by Yin Nan, with a horsewhip: "Your Majesty's envoy is here, and all the soldiers will show their skills to let the envoy know that there are no redundant troops in Kuanzhou!"
The soldiers were just quiet, and after Mo Lingfeng's voice, they suddenly gave birth to a sharp energy, stared at Zhang Xianfeng, and shouted in unison, "Yes!"
This wave almost overturned Zhang Fengfeng.
Mo Lingfeng raised his horsewhip: "A head, three taels of silver, and when you return victorious, you will be rewarded with three hundred taels per battalion, one hundred catties of rice wine, and one yellow sheep!"
Without waiting for the soldiers to cheer, she immediately issued a military order: "The soldiers at the head of the city will withdraw from the battlements of the female wall, and Chang Long and Chong Tao will lead 5,000 infantry to the head of the city, with spears in front, swordsmen and archers at the end, and when Jin Yu climbs the city wall on a ladder, they will be severely attacked."
"Yes."
Chang Long and Chong Tao each brought military flags, turned their horses' heads, and went straight to the city.
"Sheng Nan, Nomad Qing, lead 5,000 cavalry at the city gate, and when Jin Yu ascends the city tower, open the door and attack."
"Yes."
Sheng and You led the order to leave, and Mo Lingfeng looked at Yin Nan: "Yin Nan, Dou Lanhua, take the envoy, lead a hundred elite soldiers, and follow me to Sanchuan Village to ambush."
"Yes."
Mo Lingfeng rode his horse to the middle tent, turned over and dismounted, galloped into the middle tent, took off his cloak, put on his iron armor, put on his waistband, and put on his long knife, and rode his horse to the west gate.
Zhang Xianfeng had no armor, rode on a horse, listened to the sound of the cloud ladder on the city wall, rushed to the city gate with a siege ram, and the city gate shook.
He turned his head to look at the cold Yin Nan behind him, and looked at Mo Lingfeng with a shudder: "General Mo...... I will say it to Your Majesty...... Let me go......
Mo Lingfeng turned a deaf ear, and with an order, the city gate suddenly opened, and the horses were overturned and the rushing car was overthrown, and the soldiers galloped out and fought hard.
Above the head of the city, people kept falling to the ground, making an astonishing scream, Sheng Nan and the cavalry led by Nomad Qing went on a rampage, killing by surprise, but Mo Lingfeng, an elite soldier, took advantage of the chaos to go west and rushed in the direction of Sanchuan Village.
The cold wind mixed with the oil fire falling from the castle tower, raging aimlessly, the sword and gun had no eyes, a crossbow arrow shot from nowhere, and rubbed against the top of Zhang Xianfeng's head, knocking off the head of his head, the bun was instantly scattered, the scalp was in sharp pain, and the blood slid down his forehead to the tip of his nose.
