Chen Qianfu was awakened by a burst of 'fierce' cannon fire. --

Since Yangzhou was besieged, as the actual person in charge of the Henan Army's urban defense, he ran around every day at dawn to appease the soldiers and organize the people to go to the city for defense, and he couldn't stop bleeding from his nose.

He had to rectify the newly created Henan Army, which was like a plate of scattered sand, and he also had to contact Ren Minyu, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier, and also coordinate the relationship between the Gansu Army, the Sichuan Army, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who had retreated into the city.

Supposedly, this is Shi Kefa's job. It can be said that it is also infuriating, since he vetoed the proposal to cut down the trees of Li Yan's ancestral tomb and build a castle that day, Shi Ge Lao has been hiding in the mansion and not showing everyone.

I don't know why he did this, the rule of inaction is used in the prosperous era of the balance, the current Yangzhou city is precarious, he does this, the biggest possibility is that there is really no way, simply come out of sight, passive evasion.

Cabinet Department, Cabinet Department, seeing that Jiannu is about to enter the city, can you hide, close your eyes and there is no cliff in front of you?

For Shi Kefa, Chen Qianfu had nothing to say at all. The dignified head of the cabinet, in the current catastrophe, is helpless, how such a person can become the head of a hundred officials under one person and above ten thousand, it is really incomprehensible

。

Since he's useless, we're on our own, and we haven't counted on him anyway.

So, Chen Qianfu shook up his 'spirit' and was busy all day long.

Last night, when he stayed up until midnight, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he returned to the house, ready to stare at it for a while. But I don't want to, so I sleep until three strokes a day.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, Chen Qianfu woke up instantly, and a bone jumped up and shouted: "What's the situation, has Jiannu attacked the city?" ”

The person got up, but his brain was still 'confused', his eyes were full of eye feces, and he was so red and painful that he couldn't see, and he hit his head on the 'door'. Read the full text of the latest chapter

A personal guard rushed in and supported Chen Qianfu: "Patrol, I don't know, I don't know if Jiannu is attacking the city." ”

The cannon was so loud that it shook the window paper. It was as if the whole yard was shaking in this violent bombardment. Chen Qianfu opened his eyes with his fingers, and saw that the guards in the courtyard were all looking to the west with a suspicious face.

The guard said again: "Patrol the lord, it's the west cannon, this sound is too loud, it is estimated that it is not small, is it the Hongyi cannon?" ”

"Hongyi cannon, could it be that the reinforcements from the Marquis of Yingchuan are coming?" Chen Qianfu suddenly remembered such a possibility, the Hongyi cannon is a military advantage, as far as he knows, there are not many troops equipped with this kind of cannon. I heard that the Ningxiang Army has always attached importance to the use of firearms, and only they can afford to use this kind of expensive artillery.

As for Jiannu, he has always been 'superstitious' about bow horses, and he doesn't like to use cannons.

"Probably not." The guards paused: "If the first army in the world comes to help, it can only come from the north." The west 'gate' is the old camp of Jiannu, there are soldiers everywhere outside the city of Yangzhou, and the Jiannu joint camp is dozens of miles, how can the Ningxiang army 'touch' there unconsciously? So ......"

"So, this is Jiannu playing 'cannons'!" Chen Qianfu's face suddenly turned white, his sleepiness disappeared, and he yelled: "Prepare the horse, hurry, go to the west 'gate' to have a look." ”

When everyone heard him roar like this, they were all startled, and hurriedly prepared the war horse for Chen Qianfu, and the group rushed out of the 'door' and headed towards the west.

When I got out of the 'door', I saw the 'chaos' on the street, coaxing the good students, 'mixing' and 'chaos', and many people came from the west, all supporting the old and the young, carrying a large amount of luggage, screaming and shouting, and the crying shook the sky

。

Chen Qianfu hurriedly stopped one of the people and asked him what had happened to the West Gate.

The common man replied that Jiannu had built a small dock fort on the Li family's Gaofu, and set up cannons and kept bombarding the city. He cried and said: "My lord, Jiannu's cannon 'shot' so far that it was directly hoisted into the city, and as soon as it fell on the roof, it blew up the whole house with a bang." Master, that cannonball is so big, it's just a grinding plate, you will die if you hit it, and you will die if you rub it...... The villain's home has been destroyed, and he can only flee towards the center of the city. ”

Hearing this person's reply, Chen Qianfu's heart sank, and he was impatient to listen to it anymore, so he kept urging his subordinates to leave quickly.

But the more the group walked west, the more people they encountered who had fled, and the road began to block.

The cannon sound in front of me was still ringing, and every two or three hundred breaths was a "boom", and then there was the terrifying sound of the projectile breaking through the air.

As soon as this whistle sounded, the people who were crowded in the street suddenly became in a big 'chaos' and fled to the side, knocking into the wooden walls of the houses next to them and making people worry that the houses would collapse in the next moment.

Some people subconsciously lay on the ground to dodge the cannon, but unfortunately they were stepped on by dozens or hundreds of feet in an instant.

"Bang" The swarthy cannonball hit the ground, and I don't know what it hit, and a cloud of yellow 'colored' smoke and dust immediately rose in the distance, and there were wooden blocks and rubble flying all over the sky, and the smell of earth was blowing in the wind.

"What a cannon!" Chen Qianfu's scalp was numb, looking at this posture, Jiannu's cannon could not only easily 'shoot' into the city, but also collapse a house without a single shot, which was an immeasurable blow to the morale of the people.

The ordinary houses in Yangzhou City are not like the north and are all blue bricks and tiles, which are very strong. In the south, because of the 'tidal' humidity, wooden houses with seismic boards are mostly used. The walls are all made of fir wood, the middle of the bamboo scorn, with loess plastering the wall, such a house a big man makes a little stronger, can directly hit out a big 'hole', and how to resist the cannon?

"The reason why Jiannu's cannons can easily enter the city is not because the tomb of Li Huan's family outside the city is high, and it was taken by Jiannu to build a city and set up cannons, Shi Xianzhi misled the country and harmed the soldiers and civilians of a city!" Chen Qianfu shouted angrily.

At this time, there was a sudden "whew" in the distance, and a fire rose into the sky, thinking that something was set on fire by a cannonball

。 Everywhere there was the sound of gongs, and someone shouted: "Go water, go water!" ”

Some officials struggled to 'leg' the waterwheel and the pump and rushed forward, but unfortunately there were too many refugees, and everyone was crowded together, and they couldn't walk anymore.

The smoke in the distance grew louder and louder, and the flames burned into a single piece.

At this moment, the whole city was boiling.

At this time, a fast horse rushed and knocked the people away from the chaos. The person who came was a general in the Henan Army, and he was Chen Qianfu's deputy.

His face was full of panic: "Chen Xunpress, it's not good, it's not good...... Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers went out of the city with soldiers and horses, and General Liu Zhaoji and General He Gang were taking soldiers and horses to stop them. There are too few people in the Zhongguan camp to stop it at all. Hurry up, hurry up and tell the Cabinet Department. ”

Chen Qianfu's heart hurt, and as soon as he lowered his head, he spit out a mouthful of blood on his placket.

As soon as the blood was vomited, a face suddenly pale as gold paper. The 'waiter' guards were shocked, "Lord, lord! ”

Chen Qianfu laughed miserably: "Are these two villains going to surrender to Jiannu to be traitors?" There is a strong enemy outside, the order in the city has been 'chaotic', the Zhang brothers have a rebellion, Yangzhou is coming to an end! ”

"Sir, how is it now?" Someone asked.

Chen Qianfu stretched out his hand and wiped it on his mouth, wiping his face full of blood: "What else, go, immediately go to the superintendent Xingyuan, tell Shoufu, and ask him to come forward to suppress it." Now, Yangzhou City is about to be broken, Shi Xianzhi can't ignore it, and he is the only one who can suppress the Zhang brothers. The morale of the army is 'chaotic', if the Zhang brothers go out of the city, the defenders in the city are afraid that they will all surrender. ”

"Yes, Patrol!"

At that moment, everyone shouted, and they all escorted Chen Qianfu for a while, and finally ran to the superintendent of the historical records.

In this process, Jiannu fired another burst of artillery on the side of the west 'gate', and the entire Yangzhou city was already alarmed, and there were shouts everywhere, and it was so 'chaotic' that it couldn't be 'chaotic' anymore.

Strange to say, Shi Kefa is unusually quiet here, like a paradise.
