Chapter 163: The Beginning of the War
"What! Why? Why did you choose Zheng Wanglong and not mine?"
"City Lord Zhou, obviously Zheng Wanglong is sent to death, and my plan can truly defend the south!"
After Ren Yingying finished speaking, the corners of Zheng Wanglong's mouth curled slightly, obviously in a good mood, but the middle-aged man's mood was terrible, his victory smile turned into a look of disbelief, looking at the calm Zhou City Lord in the first place, and asked repeatedly!
However, before Ren Yingying could answer, Zheng Wanglong, who was on the side, preemptively mocked it!
"The city lord has already decided, Li Quan, do you still want to question the city lord's decision?"
Now Ren Yingying's words are questioned by Li Quan, and Zheng Wanglong is now coaxing, if Ren Yingying's temper is almost good, it is possible to behead Li Quan on the spot, Li Quan's face immediately changed when he heard it, but then he opened his mouth to defend!
"Li Quan doesn't dare to question the city lord's decision, but I'm here for the entire south, please ask the city lord to know it!"
"Okay, Li Quan, stop!"
Ren Yingying, who was on the first seat, also spoke again, her eyes were calm, so that she didn't have the slightest sense of blame, after all, there was also the problem of hiding her own information, and now that Ren Yingying had decided to let Zheng Wanglong lead the army, she was naturally ready to announce the Earth God Cannon!
After looking at the eyes of everyone in the hall, Ren Yingying's eyes moved slightly, and she continued!
"In the past ten years, in addition to training troops and annexing many cities in the south, we are not completely idle, the northern Tartars have mounted archery and return vehicles (trebuchets), and we have also developed war weapons that are enough to determine the victory, which were not announced before in order to guard against Mongolian spies, and now take it out, it will definitely be called Mongolian Tartars have no return!"
These words, Ren Yingying's words were sonorous and powerful, coupled with the majestic influence accumulated over the past ten years, even the civilian officials who had not seen the power of the Earth God Cannon in the field couldn't help but have the idea that this secret weapon could repel a million troops, but this idea was only for a moment, and it was denied by a group of civil officials who had studied for many years and were overly thoughtful, looking at the confident look of the military generals opposite, the civil officials couldn't help but show a wry smile!
"Lord Zhou, I have something to say!"
At this time, an old man walked out of the civil officials, over the age of sixties, wearing official uniforms, but a captain who stayed to guard Xianning more than ten years ago, although his mind is not a genius, Ren Yingyingyin can't even memorize a book, but with seniority and tactfulness, over the years, he has also mixed with the identity of the high-level, perhaps the longer he lives, the more conservative he becomes, compared to the Tushen Cannon he has never seen, he is more inclined to Li Quan's plan to defend the city!
"My lord, I don't disbelieve the weapons of war you said, but if the weapons are so strong, we can only put them on the city wall and use them when the Mongol Tatars attack the city, and we can also defeat the Tatars!"
"Yes, Lord Zhou, it's the same if you put it on the city wall!"
"Lord Zhou, please think twice"
"Think twice, don't make a fool of yourself if you civil officials don't understand, I can bring 10,000 people to fight back the Tartar!"
"Zheng Wanglong, how can you scold people"
The old man said well, but in the end, he actually went around to defend the city, and then a large group of civil officials were coaxing, Zheng Wanglong scolded back, and it developed into a real quarrel between civil officials and military officials, so that the originally serious meeting hall instantly became like a noisy vegetable market!
'Smack!'' 'Click!'
"Alright, stop for me!"
Looking at the noisy crowd, Ren Yingying frowned, and slapped her palm directly on the armrest of the chair, the armrest suddenly turned into a pile of debris due to excessive strength, and the noisy discussion of everyone in the hall was also less than half, and then Ren Yingying's loud shout, finally made all the civil officials stop their mouths, and the whole hall was quiet in an instant, except for the heavy breathing of the civil officials, the needles in the hall could be heard at this moment!
On the first seat, Ren Yingying, who had just finished drinking everyone, raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes, but at this time, everyone lowered their heads, until no one appreciated it, and for Ren Yingying, she regretted that she had recruited these civilian officials to discuss the war, maybe the internal affairs and management of them did a good job, but they were far from fighting the real war, if the Mongol Tatars really attacked the city, a few cannons could penetrate the city gate with the power of the return cannon, and then a million troops swarmed in, who could stop them?
In the past, Mongolia did not send troops, because it was afraid that Ren Yingying would fight a war of attrition all the way, from Dadu to Xianning, even if Ren Yingying could not kill millions of people along the way, but it would be no problem to kill thousands of commanders. Peaceful coexistence' style of going to war, but Ren Yingying is confident that with the power of the Earth God Cannon, she will be able to give the Mongolian army a big surprise, and it is really not good, she will take action in person according to the above, what is so terrible about the million army!
"Zheng Wanglong is out of the ranks, I will order you to lead 10,000 troops, with 2,000 Tushen cannons, and defeat the Mongolian Tartars to do it!"
The civil officials were all honest, and Ren Yingying also turned her eyes to Zheng Wanglong, who had been looking at her, and spoke in a deep voice, but Zheng Wanglong nodded confidently and replied easily!
"Rest assured that there are 2,000 Tushen cannons, I will call the Mongolian Tatars to come and go!"
borrowed Ren Yingying's words, but let Ren Yingying nod, and then arranged the logistics and the pacification of the people in the city, and finally after all the city defense and evacuation work just in case were explained, whether the official or the military attaché, they all walked out of the hall one after another and began to do their own things, even Ren Yingying, who was quite idle, also took the initiative to join the crowd and help!
Almost an hour later, outside the city of Xianning, the army of 10,000 people gathered into a large phalanx composed of two hundred small phalanxes, although there is no Mongolian army that stretches for thousands of meters, but it is also neat and strict, in the front of the army Zheng Wanglong under the order, the army pulled, with 2,000 Tushen cannons, and then towards the Mongolian army to meet the coming!
