"Old rice, you have made our master miserable." After reciting the mantra, Qin Zhongyuan turned around and squinted at Mizhi County Road.

"Alas," Mi Zhixian could still laugh, albeit with a wry smile: "Tiger King, is there a trick like me?" Even on your own? ”

"You're a lot older, why are you so out of tune?" Qin Zhongyuan pulled the beard of the rat in Mizhi County, and said angrily: "The children are trying to shave all their bodies, but the main owner doesn't get out of the pot, and as a result, we are boiled in vain."

"What a mess of you are slipping away," Mi Zhixian frowned and said: "Now that the army is besieging the city, I don't know what the situation is outside, maybe the emperor is just a step late, and they didn't have time to enter the city." ”

"You are still pulling" Qin Zhongyuan got angry, and ripped off Lao Mi's beard, which made him scream in pain. Qin Zhongyuan scolded: "With the strength of the K family in Pujiang, if the emperor has the heart to enter the city, how can he rush ahead of the official army"

Mi Zhixian shook his head, he didn't have much beard, but now he was pulled out in half, and shaking his head looked ridiculous. But he actually agreed with Qin Zhongyuan in his heart...... He, Zheng Qia and others are the 'uprising faction' among Jianwen's courtiers, and they have always advocated that the emperor should show his identity and fight the world again with the Yan rebel puppet emperor. But their comrades, who were also loyal and followed Jianwenjun's conservatives, courtiers, insisted that there was no chance of victory in the current uprising, and that they must wait for the time to come.

This is ten years, what a long and torturous ten years, Lao Mi finally ran out of patience, and did not hesitate to unite with Mingjiao, make a situation, and force the conservatives to have to do something

In Lao Mi's view, when the Mingjiao captured the county seat and the official army pressed the border, the Zheng family had no choice but to merge with the Mingjiao, raise the banner of Emperor Jianwen, defend Pujiang City together, and wait for the righteous army from Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan to come to the rescue Although this plan is risky, the emperor will be born after his death, which can maximize the morale of the army from all walks of life and lay a solid foundation for the hard battle in the future.

However, they still overestimated Jianwenjun's bloodiness and underestimated Old Man Zheng's stubbornness, which turned out to be self-defeating and became the current situation of self-defeating...... Those vassal kings and local officials who promised to respond to the uprising were all lords who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, and Emperor Jianwen didn't show up to preside, don't expect them to come out. So now Pujiang City has basically changed from a chess eye to an outcast.

Mizhi County can only have a hard-boiled duck mouth, and there is a way to insist on holding it. Although Qin Zhongyuan didn't believe his words, he didn't burn the old rice, after all, he still had to rely on him to command the people in the county town to help treat the wounded and carry the baggage...... Although the situation does not look bad, Qin Zhongyuan and Mizhi County are already desperate, their own reinforcements will not come, but the imperial court's reinforcements will be endless, there is no way out if they stick to it, but they have no ability to break through, and the outcome is already doomed

It's just that no one expected that the turning point would come so quickly. Two days later, in the morning, when the Red Turban Army was having breakfast, they suddenly heard a loud bang, like thunder, deafening, and before they could react, there was a wave of shaking mountains and earth flying into the sky, shaking all the defenders at the head of the city......

There were loud noises one after another, the walls shook violently, and the rubble flew with stumps and broken bodies, and the defenders were all stunned, lying on the ground and dizzy, thinking that the gods were angry and sent down lightning strikes

"Hongwu Cannon...... Qin Zhongyuan and Mi Zhixian in the city gate tower, but they knew that Lu Dao was not a lightning strike at all, but the officials and soldiers transferred cannons, and they looked at a mile away with pale faces, lined up dozens of thick and short iron cannons.

Artillery appeared in the Song Dynasty and became a weapon in siege and water warfare at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world, and he couldn't do without artillery to destroy the city and pull out the village. In the Yongle Dynasty, a special firearms unit Shenji Battalion was established. Zhejiang Dusi shouldered the heavy task of resisting the Japanese, and the battleships were equipped with cannons, this time Tang Yun lost his face, and was completely ruthless, and ordered the sailors to remove all the cannons on the ship and transport them to Pujiang City

I saw the so-called Hongwu cannon, the caliber is huge, but the cannon body is thick and short, and it looks like an iron bucket from a distance. The gunner filled the chamber with medicine, stuffed a cannonball the size of a watermelon, lit the fuse, and the ball whistled towards the city. Some cannonballs are solid, specially used to destroy the city wall, and there is also a kind of 'earth-shaking thunder, which is a bowl type with two half-shells cast together and filled with gunpowder, iron thunder, which is a cannonball in the real sense, and it will explode when it falls on the city, and it is impossible to hurt people.

From morning to night, the officers and soldiers used these two kinds of shells to bombard the city wall in turn, killing and injuring the soldiers defending the city...... Finally, at dusk, the already sturdy city wall collapsed more than a dozen feet, burying more than 100 soldiers on it.

Tang Yun was overjoyed when he saw this, so he stopped firing the cannon, and personally led the officers and soldiers who had been holding back for a day to rush forward. At that time, Qin Zhongyuan also brought reinforcements from his subordinates, and the two sides started a bloody battle at this gap. When it got dark, the officers and soldiers still had no intention of stopping, and continued to rush and beat the Red Turban Army, which had been fearless of death and showed no weakness before, but they couldn't hold it all of a sudden......

Tang Yun can be valued by the Yongle Emperor, naturally it is not easy, he knows that the Red Turban Army was born as a homeless people, because of long-term malnutrition, most of them suffer from blindfolding, also known as night blindness...... The officers and soldiers did not have this problem. Therefore, when the sky is about to fall, the officers and soldiers can still see clearly in front of them, but the Red Turban Army cannot, which is a good opportunity to win

As expected, as soon as it got dark, the Red Turban Army couldn't see at all. Although Mizhi County came up with a way to light the fire oil used to defend the city at this time, and illuminated the city walls as bright as day, the Red Turban Army was still greatly affected by night blindness, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and its morale was also low.

However, the morale of the officers and troops over there was greatly boosted, not only did they capture this collapsed city wall, but they also took advantage of the situation to attack the city head and start a fierce battle with the defenders. By daybreak, the officers and troops had taken complete control of the city walls, while the Red Turbans retreated into the city and attempted to fight in the streets of the houses......

Tang Yun, who was red-eyed, knew that the losses in the street battle would be very large, so he ordered the city to be set on fire. He wants to burn Pujiang City to a white ground, burn all the people inside to death, and fight in the streets. As for the lives of the people, he didn't care at all......

As soon as he saw the official army firing rockets from the head of the city into the city, Mi Zhixian's face turned pale, and he looked at Qin Zhongyuan and said: "Tiger King, you can't let your sons be burned to death in vain...

Qin Zhongyuan's face was also pale, and his eyes breathed fire: "What should I do?" ”

"Surrender." Lao Mi said: "After all, there is no chaos in the world, no matter how vicious Tang Yun is, he can't kill all the sons......"

"Surrender?" Qin Zhongyuan became furious: "You put us in such a field before you remembered to surrender? I'll kill you first," he said, drawing his sword.

"Tiger King is slow." Mi Zhixian glanced at the sword around his neck, and said lightly: "I, the official of the imperial court, is not only the Jianwen Yu Party, but also colluded with the Mingjiao to capture the county seat, which one of the battles with the official army is enough to Ling Chi, surrender is much more painful for me than to die in battle?" ”

"And why are you?" Qin Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.

"Count me as making up for the Tiger King." Mi Zhixian said softly: "This time we made a big mistake to cause the Tiger King to fall into such a field. As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "I took my sons and daughters out to surrender and told the officials and soldiers that the Tiger King had been burned to death...... I think the Tiger King must have a way to avoid the official army and the whole city. ”

"......" Qin Zhongyuan was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes." After a pause, he shook his head and said, "But I can't leave my brethren behind."

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Mi Zhixian said in a low voice: "The Tiger King will learn the lesson of this time in the future丨 I can no longer pin my hopes on others." ”

"Alas......" Qin Zhongyuan put away his sword and sighed: "You come with me." ”

"Who will bear the blame for my departure?" Mi Zhixian shook his head slowly and said, "Uncle Tang can't catch the first culprit, so he wants to kill people indiscriminately." ”

"I can't believe that you still have such kindness." Qin Zhongyuan put his hand into his mouth, pulled it gently, and pulled out the back molars, handed them to Lao Mi and said: "Put it in your mouth, if you can't stand it, you will bite it hard, and you will die immediately." ”

Mi Zhixian didn't think he was dirty, so he took it and nodded: "It's a pity that there will be no wine to drink in the future......"

"You drunkard." Qin Zhongyuan scolded and said, "When you kill your head, I'll send you wine." ”

"That's what you said." Mi Zhixian smiled: "There will be no time in the future." ”

"I will ...... later. Indefinite. Qin Zhongyuan choked up a little in his throat, took a deep look at Lao Mi, turned around and disappeared into the alley with a few cronies......

At the head of the "White Flag" city, the officers and men were all excited when they saw the Red Turban Army waving the white flag.

"Damn," Uncle Tang injured his arm in the melee last night, and he had already put on a splint and hung it on his chest, but he still didn't change his ferociousness: "Doesn't it mean that the demon sect is not afraid of fire?" ”

"It's all meaty, can you not be afraid of fire?" Tang Yun's staff smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, it's best if they can surrender, there are too many civilians injured, and those civilian officials will definitely make trouble." "Although the emperor will not blame Tang Yun at that time, in order to calm the anger of the public, he will definitely be demoted.

"Ball" Tang Yun scolded: "Provoked Lao Tzu, one person and one axe, all cut into bloody holes" But he has also been addicted, there are too many people in Zhejiang in the DPRK, second only to the Jiangxi Gang, let these people hold a grudge, and the future will be sad.

"Surrender is acceptable." After getting angry, Tang Yun faced the reality and said: "But you must follow the arrangement, and a hundred people come out to surrender at a time." As he spoke, he said to the few brocade guards standing beside him who were wearing flying fish suits and carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists: "Can you guarantee to recognize that person?" ”

Six days have passed since the Pujiang Incident, and the order of the imperial court has long been issued, and Jinyiwei has also arrived.
