Chapter 168: Firearms (II)
Nanyang County, Jingzhou.
The county seat of Nanyang County, with a history of hundreds of years, has undergone several changes before and after, the old city was rebuilt, the new people moved in, and many changes finally made this big city compete with other counties in Jingzhou, and glow with its own unique brilliance.
On the city wall, there stood a middle-aged man, his bearing was not like that of an ordinary official, just standing there without moving, he was quite majestic, in his early forties, with a short black beard, fluttering in the wind.
A good brocade robe was covered with a thin layer of armor, the armor shimmered with golden light, made of the finest metal, and beside him, there were several men who were also wearing armor, but they took half a step behind him.
The scribe in the robes of Confucianism was the closest to him and should have been his confidants.
At this moment, the eyes of these people are all on the city of the county.
At this time, Nanyang County has been shrouded in a murderous atmosphere, and outside the county town, although the 30,000 Shu army is silent, they unceremoniously surround this big city.
Of the 30,000 men, two were cavalrymen, armed with long knives that were sharp and reflected in the sun.
Although the others are infantry, their armor is bright, and while they are silent, they exude a compelling killing intent.
A neatly arranged army, each flag densely packed, fluttering in the wind.
There were 30,000 people, and every 500 columns were lined up in a small array, and each small array was listed in a large array, and at a glance, there was no edge in sight.
Looking at the majesty of the Shu army, the soldiers in the city all let out a heavy wheezing sound.
Among these 30,000 people, the banner is clear, and there is a big "king, word, and the banner flutters in the wind, so that the people above the city tower can see it very clearly."
Hongyi, the prince of Shu, really attacked!
Not long ago, he sent a messenger, Taishou Xiao Shi wavered, and entertained him with a generous banquet, but he refused to readily agree, but Wang Hongyi allowed him to delay the time, and after ten days, seeing that there was no answer, he immediately set up troops.
This time there were 20,000 veterans and 10,000 recruits, and they brought a thunderbolt, which was enough.
Wang Hongyi, who owned the complete Shu land, broke Xiangyang, and the five counties of Jingzhou, at this time, had a huge reputation in Jingzhou, and at this time, the army was pressed, which made the officials in the city tremble.
Now, the Shu army surrounded the city of Nanyang County, but did not immediately launch an offensive, but only besieged but not attacked.
It is conceivable that one is the Duke of Shu who has subdued several counties one after another, and the other is a large county, and the two sides will attract a lot of attention when they start a war.
The victory or defeat of this battle will be watched by countless people!
In this case, the people watching the city from the city wall are naturally preoccupied.
"My lord is victorious!" Suddenly, the Shu army erupted in cheers from the mountains and tsunamis.
In the midst of the cheers, a large cart, held high with a canopy, slowly marched towards the crowd.
The wind blew the sound of canopy hunting, and Wang Hongyi waved his hand.
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Wan Sheng!"
The soldiers of the Shu army waved their weapons, and the overwhelming "ten thousand victories, wave after wave."
Although it is said that it is victorious, it is no different from long live, and this kind of majesty makes the soldiers in the city tremble unconsciously.
Looking at Dou Hongyi, Taishou Xiao Shi's eyes showed a terrifying look.
"The Shu army is indeed majestic!" Xiao Shi looked at the neatly lined up Shu people and horses, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"Lord, is it to surrender or to guard, but you already have an idea?" The scribe beside Xiao Shi also stared at the Shu army outside, and asked for a while.
"Hey, at this time, Ben Shuai hesitated. Xiao Shi said a little dejectedly: "It's just that I'm unwilling to surrender now!"
No matter how much you have a choice, it's just a hurry and a slow, in the final analysis, your strength is too weak, and you can only survive in the cracks.
As he was talking, in the Shuzhong camp in the city, there was a school captain, riding a black horse, riding towards the city wall, running to a distance of a hundred steps from the city, and stopped far away.
The captain shouted to the city: "Listen to the city, I am told by the order of the Duke of Shu that in this troubled times, the Duke of Shu should be ordered by heaven to be for Allah, and he will not hesitate to reward those who are virtuous and talented, and if the city guards and generals lead their troops to annex, the lighter ones will be appointed to their original posts, and the heavier ones will be rewarded." ”
"Xiangyang Sun Chang resisted Wang Shi, not only died, but his clan was also destroyed, you wait to listen, today to persuade to surrender, this is the heart of the Duke of Shu to love the people, and then dare to resist, the army invaded the city, regret it is too late. ”
The Shu army won again and again, several battles were invincible, and the army was greatly encouraged.
The people watching the battle on the city tower watched silently, and the generals all showed a chill.
At this time, Xiao Shi looked at the scene under the city, and he also had his own plans in his heart.
Xiao Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly looked at the majestic tens of thousands of Shu troops below, without saying a word. It's hard to be sure in my heart, and my eyes will automatically look away.
In the face of such an enemy, Xiao Shi naturally found it difficult to calm down in his heart.
With such a powerful Shu army, how many days can Nanyang County really resist?
Resist, what is the result?
"In terms of military strength, Nanyang is only 15,000, it is difficult to compare with the Shu army, and the generals under the tent are also difficult to fight!" Xiao Shi stood on the city tower, looking down at the continuous army under the city, and said with a sigh.
When the scribe heard this, he said helplessly, "My lord, please make a quick decision." ”
Neither dare to fight, but also do not want to surrender, this lord is really indecisive, and he is not a human being inside and out. Just when Wang Hongyi frowned, gave an order, launched the thunderbolt car, and prepared to attack the city, a messenger from the city came to ask for a meeting.
"Let him in. When Wang Hongyi heard the news, he thought for a while and said.
In the Chinese military tent, Wang Hongyi sat in the top position, and the left and right attendants stood aside to protect him, and Wang Hongyi's eyes fell on the scribe who kowtowed as soon as he entered the door.
"Are you the envoy of Nanyang?" Wang Hongyi asked, in a low voice.
"Exactly, Weichen Xue Changguang, the six products in the county town, came this time to deliver the table for my lord. The scribe kowtowed.
"Surrender?" was already ready to attack the city, but the other party suddenly sent someone over to ask for surrender, Wang Hongyi was a little surprised for a while.
However, Wang Hongyi was suddenly relieved.
That's fine.
Wang Hongyi was happy to get a county without spending a soldier or a hard work, and he was also happy not to know the small abacus in the other party's heart, so he agreed to Nanyang County's request to surrender at the moment.
Then the gate of the county town of Nanyang County was opened, and Xiao Shi, the county guard, personally took the civil and military officials out of the city gate to welcome the Shu army into the city.
Wang Hongyi was disdainful of this person, and although he continued to appoint him as a fifth-grade official according to his previous habits, he immediately removed the real power.
"Er Renzheng is a doctor of the five products, go to Taishou. The county guard Xiao Shi was shocked, but at this time he had to kowtow and said, "Yes!"
In the afternoon, near the barracks in the mountains and forests, this is a more than a battalion, with 3,000 recruits.
A general on a black horse, embraced by several horsemen, passed through the camp in the wind, making the recruits look up with envy.
The general, dressed in great armor and a black helmet, looked to be only thirty years old, with a long nose and a wide mouth, and a slightly dark face, and his eyes were full of majesty when he scanned his eyes.
At this time, the recruits who had just come in couldn't help but look envious.
"Don't look at it, this is Zhang Yi and Zhang Du's commander!" said a clerk of record.
Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan retracted their gaze and continued to report, asking the scribe to fill in the disc, and there were craftsmen carving on the spot, which was very fast.
"Okay, you are now the people of my Shu army, the two of you put it away, this is your military card, if you lose it, you will be beaten with ten sticks. ”
Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan accepted it and looked at it, this is half a palm-sized wooden plaque, with names engraved on the front and simple carved township on the back. They didn't know that when Wu Xingzong took the wooden card, a trace of insignificant white gas seeped into Wu Xingzong's top.
"Come with me, from now on, I will be your fire chief!" At this time, a veteran with an injured arm shouted violently, even if he was crippled, this awe-inspiring meaning was still undiminished.
The ten recruits obediently followed, and came to a wooden barracks with eleven simple beds in the chalk.
The veteran's bed was a little separated, closer to the door.
"Listen, today you are familiar with the bed, the camp, and the dining camp, and you are reciting the basic military regulations, and tomorrow you will start training. The veteran shouted: "Listen, don't take the training of the camp seriously, according to the Lord, you will lead the battalion to set up a fire and not move, which of you is well trained, the captain and the deputy fire commander, and the battalion has the right to recommend!"
Seeing the puzzled look of the recruits, the veterans snorted, these recruits don't understand, in the barracks, the officers and seniors crush people to death, don't underestimate the captain and deputy fire chief, this is the fate of manipulating the soldiers.
In the battalion, according to the results of the training, the acting captain or even the deputy fire commander, generally to the army will not refute, the acting will be turned into a regular after three months, and this step has not been taken, and it must wait for the beheading of the fourth or fifth level in the future before it will be held.
The old soldier drank again and said, "Who among you can read?"
The ten people looked at each other, and Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan took a step.
"Hey, there are two of them this time, not bad!" The veteran looked at it, glanced at the thin Tang Yuan with disdain, and then looked at the tall Wu Xingzong: "You are now the acting military commander, teaching Huihuo to recognize names, recite military regulations, work hard, produce results, don't go down again." ”
Wu Xingzong responded, and the five looming white qi gathered on the top, but after gathering, I saw that all of a sudden, an invisible force on the top firmly grasped the five white gas, so that it could not be separated.
"Change into a military uniform, go to the school grounds, and have a roll call and name at night, who dares not to do it, the first stick is thirty, the second stick is one hundred, and the third beheading!" the veteran said coldly.
"No!" the ten people still understood this, divided into two groups, and went to the school field.
"As soon as I became a soldier, I had a few subordinates, and it felt really good. Wu Xingzong half-squinted his eyes and thought secretly. People who have read books are different, Wu Chang and Deputy Fire Chief, and even more pawns have the right to recommend, and others are still a little vague, Wu Xingzong understood as soon as he heard it.
I don't know why, since the appointment of the acting commander, Wu Xingzong's heart suddenly swelled with heat, and he seemed to have a longing to eat again after being hungry for many years.
Must be caught!(To be finished.)
