Volume C, Section 70, First Line
Before Feng Ziying could answer, Zhang Jin had already rushed up with someone.
Seeing several corpses underground, Zhang Jin also changed slightly: "Ziying, it's better for you to go down, don't stay on the city wall anymore, it's useless to have more of you here." These two are supposed to be rebel assassins hiding in the city in advance, using assassinations to create chaos, and this happened to them just now. ”
Feng Ziying was also a little embarrassed.
I actually became a troublemaker on this city wall.
I thought that my martial arts skills would be no problem at least against three or five people, but now it seems that when you are in a bloody fight, your own few moves are really not enough.
But after all, he is also a person who has killed people, looking at the man in front of him who was still holding his neck and was killed by a blow from the fire gun, Feng Ziying could only say sorry, he has always been a person who only seeks results.
This self-generated fire gun was specially given to Feng Ziying by Feng Tang before leaving, and it was the best of the imported products bought from the south.
According to a merchant, it cost 1,200 taels of silver, which shows that it was expensive, and it was specially given to Feng Tang.
Now Feng Tang gave it to his son as a talisman weapon, but he didn't expect it to really come in handy.
Feng Ziying has tried the gun before, and it is indeed quite exquisitely built, and it is not a self-generated firearm of the wheel type, it is a self-generated firearm of the firing type, the design is ingenious, the production is exquisite, and the various parts are also carefully built, even if it can be regarded as a boutique in Europe, no wonder it is so expensive.
I just don't know if it's feasible to let this big week imitate this self-generated fire gun.
However, Feng Ziying estimates that if it is to be imitated, it may be difficult to reach this level in many parts, and the price may also reach sky-high prices.
Even if it can't reach 1,200 taels of silver, it is estimated that it may not be possible to make it at the cost of hundreds of silver, and the quality cannot reach this level.
This involved a whole system of industrialization, even the most rudimentary ones, from the craftsmen to the steel of the equipment and the barrel of the gun, everything that would probably make Da Zhou, who had little foundation in this area, helpless.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet." The young man in front of him saw that Feng Ziying was a little distracted, and couldn't help but say, "Can you show me your firecracker?" ”
Feng Ziying woke up and shook her head: "Not now, this thing is too expensive, and it is still useful, but after this battle is over, I can lend it to you to play, by the way, I haven't consulted this son......"
The young man's face turned slightly red, but he quickly turned straight: "My surname is You, and I live in You Mansion, Shuncheng South Street, in this Ganzhou city." ”
Yufu? Feng Ziying thought about it at first and foremost, whether it was related to the three You Shigong brothers, but when she thought about it, the You brothers lived in Yulin, thousands of miles away from here, so it was unlikely.
"How did Little Brother You come to the city wall?" Feng Ziying was very curious, he thought at first that this was the guard that Zhang Jin had gathered, but when he looked at this girl's appearance, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, even if she was a boy, it was impossible for her turn to call this kind of person into battle.
"If Ganzhou falls, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to escape." Little Brother You pursed his lips, "I originally meant to come and see the situation, if not, I have to make plans early,......
"Isn't there any other man in your house who asked you to come?" The girl's face flushed, she didn't know if the other party saw her female disguise as a man, so she pretended to be calm and said: "I'm just coming to see, but I didn't expect ......, I want to ask, can this city be defended?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Jin next to him was assigning personnel, Feng Ziying didn't say much to this "life-saving benefactor", "I don't know if I can keep it or not, but you'd better go back and get ready, if there is any situation, I will let you know, Shuncheng South Street Youfu, I remember." ”
Seeing Feng Ziying's solemn appearance, the girl nodded, and knew that now was not the time to say more, and the young man in front of her must be a big man who was not simple.
……
By the time the second round of the rebel offensive was over, it was already dark.
The lack of sufficient siege equipment became the biggest problem restricting the rebels from launching a larger offensive, and the rebels once wanted to pile up earth to attack the city, but the loose and broken loess around the city of Ganzhou became the biggest problem, unless there were enough cloth bags, it was difficult to achieve this goal, and once such signs appeared, the archers who concentrated on shooting would become the biggest nightmare to buy the lives of the rebels.
Looking at He Zhisheng with a blood-soaked white cloth on his forehead in front of him, and his face was full of murderous energy, at this time, Feng Ziying felt that this guy had a bit of the momentum of an iron-blooded warrior, and the helplessness and nervousness at the beginning seemed to be the appearance.
However, it is understandable that he has never taken on such a task of guarding a big city like Ganzhou, he is a guerrilla, not even a general, and he was suddenly pushed to this position, and the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city are gathered on his shoulders, which can't help but make him a little nervous.
"I still can't hold it." Putting the thick ring knife in his hand on the ground, He Zhisheng didn't talk nonsense: "They are too few ladders and siege vehicles to hit the city, but I got the news that Liu Dongyang captured the West Cave Fort sixty miles away, and supervised the construction of ladders and siege vehicles there, and they will arrive at the city tomorrow night at the latest." ”
"General He, I feel that the fighting spirit of the rebels in these two rounds today is not strong, how many people have died before retreating?" Zhang Jin frowned, observed very carefully, and put forward a different opinion, "They have seven or eight thousand people in the city, but they only have less than a thousand killed and wounded, and they refuse to fight again,......"
"Lord Zhang, Liu Baichuan asked Liu Dongyang's troops to fight the main force, but Liu Dongyang's troops knew that there would be enough siege equipment tomorrow, so of course they refused to send them to death, so they naturally refused to care." He Zhisheng said in a deep voice: "But once Liu Dongyang delivers the siege equipment tomorrow and personally supervises the battle, whether it is his own headquarters or Liu Baichuan's department, he will not dare to slack off like this again, I am afraid that we may not even be able to survive tomorrow night." ”
"Brother Shi means that we will withdraw now?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask, "What about the grain in the East Warehouse?" ”
In the city of Ganzhou, there is the most important granary in the whole Gansu town - Dongdacang, also known as Ganzhou Cang, Dacang.
There are still tens of thousands of stone grain in the east warehouse, which is the main granary of the border army around Ganzhou, including Suzhou Wei, Ganzhou Wuwei, Shandanwei, Gaotaisuo and Zhenyi, and the entire western part of Gansu Town has to survive on the grain here.
And once you give up, it almost means that you have to completely give up the guards in western Gansu, and if you give up and want to get it back, not to mention whether someone will give you the whole opportunity, even if you can get it back, you can imagine how big the price will be.
Huoluochi, who is active in the West Sea in the southwest, Balhu Taiji in Yongshebu, and the truth Taijibe in Tumut have already coveted this place, but they are still afraid of the Great Zhou, so they only dare to attack and disturb but do not dare to enter in a big way.
This is not even the Mughal people who are active in Hami in the northwest, and they have long wanted to cross the Jiayu Pass and invade the east.
Without food, whether you burn it or throw it away to the rebels, it means that you are going to give up the town of Zhuwei in western Gansu, which no one dares to take lightly.
He Zhisheng opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end.
Whether to withdraw or not should not be his statement, he is a guerrilla general.
There is no general soldier, the deputy general is nowhere to be found, and the general is seriously injured and does not wake up, these are not reasons for him, a guerrilla general, to express his position.
The ready-made right attendant of the military department and the envoy of the governor of the three sides, as well as this master of the thousand households of the dragon forbidden lieutenant, it is up to you to decide.
"You can't withdraw, I'm afraid you won't be able to get Ganzhou back if you withdraw it." Zhang Jin shook his head, "If the grain is burned, I'm afraid that the rebels will slaughter the city and burn the city when they come in, and if they drop the grain, the rebels will probably be able to take the foundation in turn, and it will be even more difficult for the imperial court to recover here." ”
It is conceivable that if the rebels gain a foothold here, then the Mughal tribes in the northwest and the Tatar tribes in the southwest will probably be happy to see such a force independent of the Great Zhou, and if the Great Zhou wants to recover here, I am afraid that they will not only have to face the threat of Susang in the first place, but also face more enemies.
"Can't be withdrawn? How can you hold it? He Zhisheng couldn't help it, "I only have more than 1,000 people, and today I have lost more than 300 people in one day, the brothers are already very complaining, there are about five or six thousand people in Suzhou Weihe Zhenyi, but they can't catch up at all, and they don't dare to empty their forces all at once, what should I do?" ”
Feng Ziying also fell silent, this is not a game, a lonely hero, a husband is a man, what he can do is what he does, and arrogance is self-destruction.
Today's battle is as Zhang Jin said, the rebels' offensive is not fierce, otherwise the defenders would not be able to deal with it so easily, it may be that Liu Dongyang has not arrived, and Liu Baichuan is unwilling to lose his own troops.
But he noticed that Zhang Jin took the initiative to not withdraw, which made him a little surprised.
This shouldn't be Zhang Jin's statement, or he shouldn't say so, when He Zhisheng made it clear that he couldn't stand it, and his attitude was not clear, his character should be silent.
With a slight movement in her heart, Feng Ziying seemed to remember something.
"Lord Zhang, is there anyone among the dragon forbidden lieutenants of Liu Baichuan's department?" Zhang Jin was stunned, but He Zhisheng was stunned.
Zhang Jin nodded slowly: "Yes, but the level is too low to play a big role." ”
Feng Ziying secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, according to the usual practice, there are people in all departments of the border army, but basically they all hide their identities and only monitor the words and deeds of the commander, but how good the effect is, it is difficult to say, at least the rebellious Dragon Forbidden Captain in Ningxia Town is obviously derelict in his duties.
"Then today, Lord Zhang said that Liu Baichuan's fighting spirit is not strong, is there any other reason?" Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Jin hesitated for a moment, "Liu Baichuan was the last to join the rebellion, and the news came that he was not very willing, but because Tuwenxiu and Xu Dynasty had already rebelled, if he didn't follow, I am afraid that he would only be annexed or even killed,......, but in the past two months, his performance has been quite fierce, and he must take the lead in every battle, so he ......"
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up.
