East Factory Governor

Chapter 469 Fighting
The Elder Jin that Chu Yun spoke of was Yu Zhu, the head of the three voices of the Demon Cult, who was known as Lord Jinxiao.

The three voices of the Demon Sect are Shen Xi, the white-haired magic flute, known as Elder Bai, Chu Yun, the girl in purple clothes, known as Elder Zi, and Yu Zhu, the gentleman of Jinxiao, known as Elder Jin.All three of them use musical instruments as weapons, and their unique skills are all infuriating sounds, killing people invisible, so they are called "Three Tones of the Demon Sect".The prestige of Sanyin is like thunder in Jianghu, no one knows it, no one knows it.

However, on top of the three notes of the Devil's Cult, there are two guardians on the left and right, and this is the existence that makes Wu Lin's color change even more.

What Chu Yun meant was that after Yu Zhu arrived in Lanzhou, she and Zhao Wuhen would climb up to the top of Lanzhou City, destroy the Ming army's cannons and create chaos, and cover the army to cross the river.

With the cultivation base of the three of them, it can indeed be done.

As long as the firearms soldiers and archers at the head of Lanzhou City are silent, I believe that the Demon Cult can at least reduce the pressure by half, and the army will cross the river and successfully capture Lanzhou City.

Zhao Wuhen thought about it, and felt that Chu Yun's opinion was feasible.

As long as Lanzhou City can be conquered, so what if he, the Left Protector, takes action himself?

Although Zhao Wuhen is the second person of the Demon Sect and his martial arts are at the peak, he still only regards himself as Yan Wuyue's slave.He is a fanatical follower of Yan Wuyue, even if he sacrificed his life for him, he would have nothing to say.This is very different from Mei Yinzhi, the protector of the right, who has always been reticent, acting strangely and erratically.Therefore, among the protectors of the Demon Cult, there has always been a saying that the left is hot and the right is cold.

Zhao Wuhen said, "Elder Zi's words are also a plan, and we can discuss it carefully after Elder Jin arrives." Then, he looked at the owner of the Houtu Banner, Chen Hou, and said, "Master Chen, this time You have also seen the siege, and my disciples suffered heavy losses when crossing the river, do you have a good plan?"

Chen Hou still looked listless, his eyelids were only half lifted.

He had no choice but to answer Zuo Dharma's question, so he said, "Let this subordinate think about it, and report to Dharma Dharma later."

Zhao Wuhen's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Chen Banner Master! Now that the army has been dispatched, countless brothers die in battle every day. Isn't it time to be entangled in vindictiveness? Whether you want to or not, the leader personally dispatches troops The order, since it is the order of the leader, we should swear to the death, how can you be so slack? Could it be that you want to be like Shen Xi?"

When Shen Xi was mentioned, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

A strange atmosphere spread.

On that moonlit night two months ago, what happened at Guangmingding resurfaced in the minds of everyone—even though none of them wanted to recall it.

Chen Hou said expressionlessly, "This subordinate dare not."

"What do you mean, is there any way for you Houtuqi to help the brothers cross the river!" Zhao Wuhen asked in a persuasive tone.

Chen Hou let out a long sigh and said, "If you brothers can't cross the river, then you should cross the bottom of the river. My subordinates asked the brothers to dig two roads at the bottom of the river to go directly to the city."

Zhao Wuhen's face brightened a little, and he asked again, "How long will it take?"

"[-] brothers from Houtuqi will work day and night, and it will take about two days. However, it depends on whether the Ming soldiers on the other side will find out."

If the Ming army finds out that they are digging a tunnel, they only need to dig a hole in the ground, pour water into it, or throw a bunch of thunderbolts, and the tunnel can be easily destroyed.

Zhao Wuhen waved his hand, "It's okay, you just need to start working immediately! Before tomorrow night, these two comrades must be dug out!"

Chen Hou took the order and left the camp without saying a word.

On that day, the Demon Cult did not attack.

In the city of Lanzhou, Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief of Gansu, Wang Yulun, the governor of Gansu, He Kegang, the commander-in-chief of the Guanning Army, Hei Yunlong (Mangui's confidant and favorite general) with the Datong soldiers, and You Shigong (Xuanfu) with the Xuanfu soldiers. You Shilu's younger brother) and other generals gathered together to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.

The main topic of everyone focused on what to do if the Demon Cult continued to attack the city tonight.

Most of the generals suggested that the city should be defended tonight, and no troops should be sent to directly fight the Demon Cult under the city.There is a moat in Lanzhou City, and the officers and soldiers can use cannons, arrows, and muskets to consume the Demon Sect while crossing the river. After they gather under the city, they can kill them with kerosene, asphalt, and boiling oil.

This proposal sounds good, but Cao Wenzhao is worried that once the Demon Cult crosses the river, the collapsed South Gate will become their breakthrough.If the Devil's Cult broke into the city, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although the south gate is being repaired, there are a lot of ruins there, and it cannot be cleaned up in a short time, so it cannot be rebuilt.The so-called "repair" at present can only be to pile up the ruins and pour them with clay mixed with glutinous rice to improve the firmness.In addition, a large number of migrant workers used rammed earth to build a wall around the ruins.The rammed earth wall is naturally not as strong as the city wall, so it can only resist the opponent for a while.

Despite this, the collapsed South Gate is always the weakest point in Lanzhou City.The Demon Cult only needs to tear down the earthen wall, and then step on the ruins to go up and over the south gate. They can't even use the siege ladder. How can Cao Wenzhao feel relieved?
"General He, what good strategy do you have?" Cao Wenzhao asked He Kegang.Here, He Kegang is considered a relatively well-known general and is very respected, so Cao Wenzhao wanted to ask him what he meant.

He Kegang said, "I think the Demon Cult will not take the same offensive as last night tonight."

Cao Wenzhao asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Lanzhou City is so important to Gansu. The Demon Sect knew that the army of Qin Shaobao and Governor Hong would arrive soon, so it was bound to capture Lanzhou before they arrived. The Demon Sect claimed to have an army of 30, but the soldiers who attacked Lanzhou this time were no more than [-], of which [-] are Ma Shouying's bandit army. So I thought they didn't have that many soldiers. If they don't have enough troops, they are naturally afraid of wasting their troops. They can't afford to spend like last night."

Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly after hearing this, and said, "General He is right. So what does the general think they will do?"

He Kegang said, "If we don't fight consumption, they may blow up a few more city gates at any cost, and then swarm up and fight us. They can't afford it."

"Do they have so much gunpowder?" Cao Wenzhao questioned.

He Kegang said, "The Devil's Cult has always acted unexpectedly. They have a fire flag, which is said to be an autocratic gunpowder. So we have to guard against it."

All the generals nodded in approval.

Cao Wenzhao said, "General He is right. Let's learn from a pit and gain wisdom to prevent them from digging tunnels." Then he immediately shouted outside, "Come here."

Immediately, a personal guard came in, "What orders does General Cao have?"

"Send down the order to collect some large tanks. Knock off the bottom and bury them in the ground, leaving only the top of the tanks, and then send someone to monitor if there is any abnormal movement in the ground. By the way, find more and bury them near the city wall, and monitor them day and night. "

The personal guard responded immediately, "Obey!"

He Kegang thought that the Demon Cult might dig tunnels and blow up the city gates. In fact, the Demon Cult only wanted to dig tunnels to transport troops, but it was a mistake.

The battle between the two sides has only just begun.

At this time, Qin Shuhuai led seven masters and rushed all the way to nine hundred miles away.

Under the calm appearance, Lanzhou City is destined to usher in a storm that will be recorded in history.
