Chapter 240: Falling apart
Yangzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Fire!"
With the roar of the second master of the Yue family, who was already a bit of a general, thirty high-pressure alloy steel tube breech guns suddenly erupted into flames, and thirty ten-pound pig iron solid bullets with a ferocious roar accurately hit the Yangzhou city wall three hundred meters away, and countless rammed earth on the city wall that had been beaten to a thousand holes collapsed like an earthquake, and even a cannonball directly penetrated the broken wall, making a shocking hole.
"Reload!"
Yue Lei said with satisfaction.
With that, he looked back at his eldest brother with reverence, who was now riding on a horse and standing side by side with the eldest princess in military uniform.
"This thing is amazing!"
The eldest princess put down the binoculars in her hand and said.
"If you're going to play a new game with me tonight, I'll give this to you!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
During this time, this sao goods brought her a lot of happiness, compared with his two concubines, the eldest princess who had already broken the jar was undoubtedly the most open, those new tricks that could not be mentioned to the Gong family, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here to talk a lot, basically Yang Feng plays any unrestrained game she will accompany to the end.
Princess Roujia glanced at him coquettishly.
And at this moment, the artillerymen who quickly completed the loading began to shoot again in the roar of Yue Lei, and in the diffuse gunsmoke, thirty shells accompanied by the blazing flames sprayed from the muzzle of the cannon, in the blink of an eye, densely hit the half-collapsed city wall, and then saw the city wall tremble fiercely, like a collapsed sand castle, a section of more than ten meters long collapsed in the flying dust, and a huge gap appeared.
"Prepare to attack!"
Yang Feng was in charge of the fifth town behind him, and Xiao Rin, the Khitan of the former Jin Army general, roared.
Then countless roars rang out.
The soldiers of the two infantry brigades outside the formation first pushed the ladder and began to move forward with the ladder, and behind them the iron cavalry of the three cavalry brigades were equally in formation.
There is no need for Yang Feng to go into battle now.
He is already the regent, and if he personally smashes people with a giant axe, where can he make his soldiers ashamed? In the past, he didn't have many troops under his command, but now he has to have soldiers and generals, and of course he has to do things like this!
"Who is that, Wang Gui?"
Princess Roujia said, holding up her binoculars.
At the gap in the Yangzhou city wall, a general in his thirties and forties was brandishing a knife to urge his subordinates to step forward to plug the gap.
Yang Feng sighed deeply.
Well, he doesn't know either.
"Aim at him, aim at this dog thief to avenge my father!"
Yue Lei in front roared.
Uh, now I know.
Wang Gui didn't dare to surrender after all, he knew his role in Yue Fei's death, if he surrendered, who would dare to guarantee that Yue Yun would really have to ignore his previous suspicions? Even if Yue Yun didn't care about his past suspicions because of his face, and when he turned around, Yue Lei found an opportunity to give him a shot, so what if Yue Yun could still make decisions for him? Since he simply went out to resist to the end, he still has an army of 40,000 under his command, and there is a Yangzhou that can be called the most luxurious version of this era.
However, he didn't expect that everything was just scum in front of the cannon.
"The mantis arm is a car!"
Yang Feng said disdainfully.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Princess Roujia screamed.
Then Yang Feng saw that behind Wang Gui, who was waving a knife to urge his subordinates, a general suddenly raised his knife, the blade was facing Wang Gui's neck, and although there were countless soldiers around them, none of them pleaded to remind their commander, maybe he had a heart, Wang Gui, who was holding the knife obliquely upwards to make a front finger shape, suddenly looked back, and before he could react, the general's knife fell with a cold light, Yang Feng could even see the consternation on Wang Gui's face at this moment, and then his head fell suddenly, A bloody arrow shot straight into the sky.
"That's the smart guy!"
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
At the same time, the general carried Wang Gui's head and exhaled, and then the gate of Yangzhou opened.
The Red Turban Army, who were originally ready to rush to the gap, stopped one by one in amazement, while Yang Feng urged the war horse and led the guards forward with Princess Roujia, and soon the general led the defenders in the city to greet him in front of his horse.
"The last general, Zhao Mi, pays a visit to the regent!"
The general took Wang Gui's head and saluted Yang Feng first, then threw the head to the ground and said: "The last general is against the thief Wang Gui, please dispose of it with the regent." ”
Yang Feng smiled and nodded.
"Take the jade seal!"
Then he stretched out his hand and said.
Princess Roujia, the chief seal officer, smiled and took out a jade seal and handed it to him.
"General Zhao, where is your official order?"
Yang Feng stretched out his hand to Zhao Mi and said.
The latter hurriedly took out a letter from his arms that had been secretly sent to him and handed it to him, Yang Feng looked at the governor of Fujian Road above, plus the official of the marquis, spread the official letter on his small shield, and then picked up the jade seal and pressed it steadily on his mouth, so the governor of Fujian Road in the Great Song Dynasty came out, he picked up the jade seal and threw it to Princess Roujia, handed the official letter to Zhao Mi and said: "General Zhao, take your brother south to take up the post, this Fujian Road will be handed over to the general in the future." ”
"The last general, thank you for the grace of the regent!"
Zhao Mi said excitedly while holding the official message.
Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Feng without hesitation, then stood up and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Regent, please Rong Mo will lead the horse for you!" ”
"Okay, there's General Lao!"
Yang Feng nodded.
So in this way, he slowly walked into Yangzhou under Zhao Mi's horse, behind him Yue Lei picked up Wang Gui's head, walked to the muzzle of a cannon with an angry face, and stuffed it hard, although the muzzle of the cannon was small, but fortunately, there was still half a neck, and the hard plug was barely plugged, and then Yue Erye walked behind the cannon with an ignition rod, and without hesitation he pestled into the ignition hole, and the deafening cannon sound suddenly sounded, startling everyone.
"What nonsense!"
Yang Feng said speechlessly.
"The second master is also hateful, which is also human nature."
Zhao Mi said with a smile.
As Wang Gui's head turned into a cloud of blood mist at the muzzle, Zhao Gou's last fortress in Jiangbei also announced that it changed hands, a total of less than two hundred casualties on both sides in the battle of Yangzhou, of course, the so-called two sides are actually unilateral, these two hundred except for Wang Gui was killed by Zhao Mi, the rest are caused by the shells missed, and there are broken bricks and injuries, in short, Yangzhou was easily taken, and then immediately after the Xiangxing Emperor moved to Nanjing, on the same day Yang Yizhong abandoned Chuzhou to cross the river to protect Jiankang......
Well, there's no health to be covered.
Niu Gao's army went down the river, and Li Heng, the general of the Zhangjia army, surrendered without a fight in Jiangzhou, and then the bandit leader of the first Northern Expedition in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty joined the rebel team very happily, leading his subordinates to raid another Zhangjia army general Wang Jin for Wang Shi, and unceremoniously cut Wang Jin and divided Wang Jin's subordinates with Niu Gao. The two fought Jiankang like a bamboo, their warships blocked the Yangtze River, the unlucky Yang Yizhong was isolated in the north of the river, and the Zhang Jiajun who was trapped in Jiankang left a general, Zhang Zigai, and finally had no other choice, he announced that he would join the ranks of rebellion in Jiankang.
"You are all smart people, bring all the official edicts!"
In Zhenjiang City, Yang Feng said with a smile to Zhang Zigai and Li Heng, who came to see him.
Zhang Zigai hurriedly handed over the official letter.
Yang Feng took the jade seal from Princess Roujia and quickly stamped Zhang Zigai's official letter as the governor of Guangnan East Road, but Li Heng did not have the official letter of the governor in his hand, and Zhang Jiajun had two governors under his name, and Wang Jin was not included, so Li Heng was the same.
Of course, this kind of trivial matter is still difficult for Yang Feng, he looked at Li Heng, who was waiting there, and groaned.
This old bandit was born in the rebel army of Lianghe, and responded to Zong Ze's call to go to Baobianliang together, but after Zong Ze's death, Du Chong did not wait to see these rebels, so he followed Sang Zhongliu to Xiangyang to be a warlord, because the food was not enough to eat, and even took the initiative to launch the first Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty, Niu Gao, Dong Xian and other Yuejia army generals responded to him at that time from the pseudo-Qi defection, he was defeated and voted for Zhao Ding, initially belonged to Yue Fei, but before he dominated one side, he was on an equal footing with Yue Fei, and felt that he was wronged, so he went to Lin'an as an idle post, It was returned to Zhang Jun's subordinates.
"General Li, why don't you discuss with General Niu, General Zhao and General Zhang about how about the four families joining forces to solve Yang Yizhong, and after solving Yang Yizhong, then his governor of Jiangnan West Road is yours."
Yang Feng said.
Li Heng immediately smiled at the other three generals.
"General Li, that Jiangnan West Road is a good place, unlike us who are all poor ravines, maybe we can't even provide food for our brothers."
Zhang Zigai said.
Jiangnan West Road is actually Jiangxi, and he and Zhao Mi are one Fujian and one Guangdong, before the popularization of sweet potatoes, these two provinces were actually very poor because of the mountainous areas, compared to Jiangxi, which has a granary around Poyang Lake, is obviously much richer.
"Regent, can the last general assign a few counties under his jurisdiction to others?"
Li Heng immediately asked Yang Feng.
Zhang Ziheng and the others also looked at Yang Feng, of course they were not for bargaining, it was really hard to say that Li Heng beat Yang Yizhong by himself, but the four of them surrounded Yang Yizhong, then the latter had no hope, they were just using this to test how much power Yang Feng could give them, whether they were really as casually as he said.
"It's up to you on your own turf."
Yang Feng said with a wave of his hand.
"The last general Xie Regent's grace, so the three generals, why don't we sit down and drink first?"
Li Heng said.
"Then the regent, the last general will retire first."
Niu Gao said.
"Yes, please!"
Yang Feng said.
The four of them hurriedly retreated with excitement.
Looking at the excited backs of the four warlords he had newly cultivated, the regent also showed a smile, and the cake was obviously the most popular, from the time he decided to divide the Great Song Dynasty, the tragedy of Zhao Gou had already been doomed.
