"Who sent you?"

In the handsome tent of the Daizhou Army, Zhong A asked the young man who was tied up with five flowers in front of him expressionlessly.

When the young man heard someone asking, he didn't look at the man who spoke in a hurry, and when he saw that this person was extraordinary, he immediately asked, "Dare to ask, but is it Dashuai Zhong?" ”

Zhong Asi nodded when he heard this, acknowledging his identity.

Seeing this, the young man looked around left and right, "I came from the north to send a letter to Dashuai on behalf of my master, but I also asked Dashuai to step back from others." ”

Zhong Ah Si laughed when he heard this, and said directly that the tent was full of henchmen, and then ordered his subordinates to search for the letter in the young man's arms.

Zhong Ah Si took the letter, opened it and quickly browsed it, and frowned after only reading a few lines.

"What's wrong, Zhong Shuai?"

Seeing Zhong Ah Si's suddenly serious face, a military general in the army looked up and saw that all his eyes were looking at him, and waved his hand.

"Don't ask more, I'll interrogate this young man first."

After that, all the generals in the tent left with interest, leaving only Zhong Ah Si and his personal guards.

After everyone left, Zhong Ah Si ordered someone to untie the rope that bound the young man and asked, "You are from the Chamber of Commerce, why do you have the courage to come to me?" ”

The young man who was let go was not nervous, and spread his hands, "In Xia Li Youtian, Li Fu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, is in the lower cousin, the kid came with sincerity this time, as long as the big man said, three thousand stone of grain will be sent immediately." ”

Zhong Asi saw that the young man in front of him was so calm, and he already believed in the identity of the other party in his heart, but the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce in Yangcheng County had been cooperating with Yangzhou before, and now what is the purpose of eyebrow-to-eye with himself?

Zhong Ah Si lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly spoke, "Do you think I lack your three thousand stone grain?" ”

After that, Zhong Ah Si directly waved his hand and called the guards standing aside, and he was about to pull Li Youtian out and cut him down.

Li Youtian is young after all, where has he seen this battle, facing Zhong Asi, who is about to kill him if he doesn't agree with him, his heart began to tremble.

But the guards who got the order on the side didn't listen to him, and directly pushed Li Youtian to rush out, Li Youtian was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhong Dashuai, I can help you take Surin City." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ah Si showed an intriguing smile at the corner of his mouth, and directly stepped forward to drink his subordinates, pulling Li Youtian to the seat in the big tent.

Li Youtian was frightened by this, and he didn't dare to take this Zhong Ah Si lightly at this time, and directly said the conditions that the Chamber of Commerce could come up with.

Zhong Asi is also a good person, and after some operation and negotiation, the negotiation went smoothly, and he figured out the meaning of the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce from Li Youtian's mouth.

Subsequently, Zhong Asi was willing to pay a large sum of money to buy the firearms brought by the Chamber of Commerce, but the price was directly pressed to the minimum.

After the negotiation between the two sides was completed, Zhong Ah Si ordered someone to take Li Youtian back to the camp tent, and specially instructed his subordinates to treat them and send the two robbed women to each other's residence.

Li Youtian walked out of the handsome tent in a daze, while Zhong Ah Si looked at the young figure and smiled slightly.

"I want to borrow a knife to kill someone, but I'm quite willing to be this knife wielder."

Regarding the Lingshui caravan to sell firearms to himself, Zhong Ah Si knew very well that this was instructed by Xiao Jiu.

Nowadays, the firearms in Yangcheng County are famous all over the world, and the firearms on the upper floor of Surin City today must also be from the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce.

Only by seeing the power of firearms made Zhong Ah Si understand that the generation difference in weapons and equipment is a dimensionality reduction strike on the battlefield.

Zhong Ah Si didn't feel sorry for taking out a huge amount of real money to buy the chamber of commerce's firearms, because this money and the wealth plundered after Surin City was breached must be completely a drop in the bucket.

Now Zhong Ah Si is thinking about how to entrap the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce and cut off the supply of the Yangzhou army.

As long as a discerning person can see that the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce wants to resell military supplies to make a war fortune, bring convenience to themselves, and at the same time cooperate with Yangzhou.

"How can we feed these merchants?"

Zhong Ah Si stroked his chin and fell into deep thought in the empty tent.

At the same time, along the coast of Yangzhou, on a huge army ship, Heizi stood on the deck of the bow of the ship blowing the wet sea breeze, and Li Fu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who was also looking into the distance, stood beside him.

"But the order was given from above?"

After being silent for a long time, Li Fu couldn't help but step forward and ask twice, and Heizi also turned his head and nodded slightly when he heard this.

"The lord wants Zhong Asi to take the two counties of Surin and Yumen, only in this way can we drag the two sides to advance and retreat, and Yangzhou can give us what we want."

Hearing this, Li Fu had some confidence in his heart, but he still couldn't help but be a little worried, "Selling the cannon to Daizhou must be guessed by You Yichun, if it ......"

Without waiting for Li Fu to finish speaking, Heizi directly raised his right arm to interrupt the other party's words, and looked firmly into the distance, "Dissatisfied?" Then let Yangzhou change an obedient master. ”

Li Fu stopped talking when he heard this, and after chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left, and went all out to prepare to pick up Li Youtian, who had not yet returned.

Early in the morning of the third day, Li Youtian, who had completed the negotiations with Zhong Asi of Daizhou, returned to the sea to meet Li Fu and recounted the details of the negotiated cooperation one by one, and during this period, the Daizhou army outside Sulin County was also besieged but not attacked, and the battle briefly fell into a stalemate of confrontation.

After listening to the results brought by Li Youtian, Li Fu felt that Daizhou Jun was asking too much, but since the matter had been decided, there was no need for him to deduct too many details.

After all, what really made Xiao Jiu's heart move was the right to build a factory in the south, according to his vision, as long as the legal right to build a factory in the south was obtained, the economic lifeline of the entire Yangzhou had basically fallen into Xiao Jiu's hands.

Thinking of this, Li Fu, who was in a good mood, stepped up and ordered his subordinates to send the firearms brought by the caravan to the direction of the Daizhou army as soon as possible.

As for whether the Daizhou Army will repay the debt, Li Fu doesn't have to worry about it at all, because Zhong Asi, as a smart person, will know that Xiao Jiu is just taking advantage of the turbulent situation in Yangzhou to make a profit, but if he really annoys the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce, he will completely push Xiao Jiu to Yangzhou.

Everything is in full swing, and Zhong Ah Si, who received the arms, also kept his promise and gave his salary in full.

On the second day, the battle of Surin County started again, and the defenders of the city did not be overly nervous as before when they saw that the Daizhou army was attacking again, and waited for the battle to start in an orderly manner on the city tower.

With the sounding of the siege horn of the Daizhou army, the military Erlang of Daizhou and Jiangzhou all launched a charge.

And the defenders on the upper floor of Surin City also began to fire arrows downward, and directly ignited the artillery that had shown its might before.

Peng ~ Bang Bang ~

There was a loud bang in the sky, and the artillery came out, and the shells smashed into the crowd and set off bursts of explosions, and all the soldiers who were rubbing everything were bloody and fleshy.

But before the cannon on the castle tower could be fired a few times, a defender soldier on the castle tower suddenly widened his eyes and stretched out his hand to point into the distance.

"Cannons, they also have cannons ......"

The defenders, who were scrambling to light the artillery, heard the movement and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, only to see slender barrels standing on wooden towers in the distance.

The soldier didn't care about panicking, and hurriedly counted silently in his heart, there were about thirty artillery pieces lined up in a row, all of which were held up high by the wooden tower, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed to the Surin City Tower in the distance.

In the rear of the enemy army, there were dozens of soldiers pushing three huge cannons, which were the appearance of the original redcoat cannons, but the barrels were thicker.

Zhong Asi on the side of the Daizhou Army looked at the advancing artillery at this time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gave an order to the soldiers next to him, "Open the cannon, blow up the city gate." “

Then, a loud bang sounded from the side of the Daizhou army, and the forts built by more than 30 towers opened fire directly, and the flying cannonballs quickly smashed the pieces of city towers in Surin City.

Surin City itself was not a particularly strong fortress, and it was directly blown out of pieces of ruins by artillery bombardment.

What's even worse is that the three heavy red-clothed cannons are pointing at the city gate of Surin City in unison, and after a volley, the city gate is directly blown up.

Seeing that the gate of Surin City was directly bombarded by the cannon, Zhong Ah Si in the distance rode on his horse and let out an angry roar excitedly.

"The city gate was opened, and I slaughtered the miscellaneous pieces of Yangzhou."

Zhong Ah Si raised the accessories in his hand and directly launched the order for a general attack.

And the Daizhou soldiers behind Zhong Ah Si have also been waiting for a long time, seeing that the gate of Surin City was blown open under their noses, all of them were enthusiastic, and when they heard the order, they all screamed and charged.

On the other hand, the defending generals on the upper floor of Surin City saw that the city gate was directly bombarded by cannons, and their hearts suddenly felt cold and knew that something was wrong.

Although there were 50,000 troops in Surin City now, he knew that most of these soldiers were private soldiers temporarily recruited by those families, and they had no combat effectiveness at all.

On the other hand, Zhong Asi's side is basically a mixed army of young people and Daxia people brought out from Jiangzhou and Daizhou.

Because the Tusi in the south have been attacking for hundreds of years, the soldiers in that land are basically trained with real swords and guns, and they are not comparable to these old soldiers in Yangzhou at all.

When the guard on the city tower looked at the enemy charging outside the city and was a little stunned, a familiar voice came from his ears, "My lord, let's go, Zhong Ah Si's soldiers have entered the city." ”

The guard's face turned pale at this time, but he still said calmly, "I, Wang Ze, have been favored by Lord You, and this is the time to be loyal, so why should I abandon the city and flee." ”

The guard who persuaded Wang Ze to escape was a little surprised when he heard this, as if he didn't expect his commander to have such a bloody side, and the cowardice in his heart instantly dissipated a lot.

Then, the general nodded slightly, and prepared to go down to make some combat deployments to deal with the next battle, saying that he had to let Zhong Ah Si make a big deal in Surin City.

But just as the guard was about to walk down the city tower, the voice of General Wang Ze came from behind him again.

"That's it, it's better to take care of your useful body before you can continue to follow Master You."

"Zhang Yang, the people who organized you, we will withdraw!!"

When the guard named Zhang Yang heard this, he didn't stand firm and fell directly.
