Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 125 The money is enough, kill the thief for me

"The lower official was confused for a while, thinking about the old relationship, but there were more than 1000 people, so let him go."

Zuo Hangzi knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "My lord, I beg you to give me a chance to pay off my merits. I will personally go and arrest the traitor Miao Mei."

Hong Chengchou had a good self-cultivation on weekdays, but he was still furious about things that were out of his control.

His chest was heaving and unsteady, and he really wanted to tell the left and right to pull Wang Zishun down and chop him up, as a warning to others.

But now, in order to calm people's hearts and let these people feel at ease as cannon fodder, he forcibly held back the killing intent in his heart.

"You get up first."

Wang Zishun didn't know that he had already wandered around the Palace of the King of Hell and came back, he kept thanking Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou also didn't want Zuo Guangzi to get out of his sight, lest he be bewitched to go away, and now the torture is not enough, so he can't easily let him out of his palm.

Especially this non-stick mud, he thought very deeply.

"The rebels in Ganquan County have not put down the rebellion, and another group of rebels appeared in Fu County." Hong Chengchou got up from his chair and turned his head to look at the map. "If they go all the way south."

"Is the Golden Lock Pass still in my hands?"

Governor of Shaanxi Liu Guangsheng nodded, Jinsuoguan is still in the hands of the officers and soldiers.

This official is a battleground for military strategists, and enjoys the reputation of "a majestic pass and a natural moat, where eagles and kites are hard to fly".

It is also the main traffic "throat" road that goes north to Yan'an and Yulin, west to Gansu and Ningxia, and south to Guanzhong.

Hong Chengchou didn't pay attention to Miao Mei anymore, and the places he would go next were almost all the places where there were rebels.

Hong Chengchou knew that in the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi governor Hu Tingyan and Yansui governor Yue Hesheng reported to the court:
Luochuan, Chunhua, Sanshui, Lueyang, Qingshui, Chengxian, Hancheng, Yijun, Shiquan.

In Yichuan, Suide, Jiazhou, Yaoxian, Jingning, Tongguan, Yangpingguan, Jinsuoguan and other places, bandits plundered freely.

Although the uprising army blossomed in various parts of Shaanxi, these people did not gather together because the official army occupied the pass.

Now that Miao Mei is out of Fu County, she will definitely abduct a large number of young and strong.

Hong Chengchou planned to raise Miao Mei first, and then go to capture his people, and escort them to Ganquan County as cannon fodder for the siege.

"Lord Hong, let's let this Miao Mei continue to disturb the surroundings."

"Squeeze He Jinchao first, and then send someone to send ten general cannons."

Hong Chengchou made a final decision, there were more than 1000 Miao Meicai, and the fry were too small to catch.

After the officers and soldiers made up their minds overnight, on the second day, they finally did not take the crazy move of besieging the city from all directions.

The north gate was left for them to "escape", and the east gate was continued to be the main attack direction, and the other two directions were used as containment.

However, this wave of first toughness and then "counseling" behavior by the officers and soldiers really boosted the confidence of the rebels in the city.

The dog officer outside the city is really a car hitting a wall, you know you turned, and your nose got into your mouth, you know you got dumped, but it's too late!

What the captain said is right, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are just paper tigers, if you are strong, they will be weak, and if you are weak, they will be strong!

Now they are scared of being beaten.

Hong Chengchou didn't talk nonsense, and directly gathered the artillery of the generals in his hands, and bombarded the east wall.

The captain of the artillery team, Zhou Da, ordered his men to lie down and counterattack during the interval when the official artillery stopped.

It has to be said that Hong Chengchou's artillery coverage caused certain casualties to He Jinzhao's troops.

The crenellations of the city wall were damaged a lot.

Fortunately, it is a brick-covered city, so there are not too many cracks.

If the government and army bombarded a certain place day and night, the city wall might collapse.

But He Jinzhao was not sure whether the general cannon in Hong Chengchou's hand could withstand many rounds of firing.

After all, artillery has not been studied for a long time, except in Liaodong and other places.

Many places still use antique artillery from the Yongle period more than 200 years ago.

He Jinzhao ordered most of the people to take shelter under the city wall and leave an observation post. When the officers and soldiers rushed up, we also rushed up the city wall to fight back.

There are still a small number of people staying on the other two walls. Once the shelling is over, they will quickly run to the east wall from both sides to defend.

According to Zhou Da's personal observation, when the officers and soldiers bombarded Ganquan County's defenses, ten stone bullets only hit two artillery pieces of the officers and soldiers.

After the baptism of artillery fire, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the slackness of the rebels on the city wall.

Shout out to kill!

Pushing the crash car and carrying the ladder, he rushed up.

Because Hong Chengchou actually put out several boxes of silver to boost morale, the large silver ingots of 50 taels are really eye-opening.

For silver.

The officials and soldiers of Ming Dynasty were willing to risk their lives to give it a try.

They took money in advance, and when they died, they entrusted their life and friendship to bring it to their families.

What is before them now is the reward after the siege is successful.

The officers and soldiers are coming in menacingly, but He Jinzhao doesn't want to be breached.

In the face of the double-armor attack by the officers and soldiers, the bows and arrows simply did not let go.

The two French cannons were aimed at the mound piled up by the officers and soldiers to relieve the pressure on the soldiers from the arrows.

The musketeer raises his gun and shoots.

The general's cannon was aimed at the crash vehicle.

The rebels in the city were baptized by the artillery of the government army.

The siege army was also counterattacked by artillery and firearms.

The most important thing is to wait for them to carry the ladder to the city wall, and they will be greeted with the baptism of land mines and a head-on shot.

With a distance of less than five meters, even if you are double-layer armor, you can't resist it with one shot.

The city wall of Xi'an is 12 meters high, and ordinary county towns are generally between 4 meters and 10 meters high.

Because Datong City was built by Xu Dayin's old earthen city, the city wall is 14 meters high.

So what the officers and soldiers attacked was the height of a small second floor, at least higher than Pan Jinlian's window on the second floor.

Ximen Qing's head was covered because the bamboo poles that fell could not even be hit, but the stones thrown could make the officers and soldiers' heads bleed.

Naturally, there are officers and soldiers with good archery skills, shooting arrows near the city gate, and the rebels fell off the city wall.

Hong Chengchou watched all this with cold eyes.

In the cruel game of war, everyone is involved, and the chess pieces have no chance to actively end the game.

He Jinzhao carefully observed what was going on on the battlefield, and he had to say that this group of officers and soldiers was determined to be the first.

Many people held shields, with knives in their mouths, quickly climbed the ladder, and rushed directly to the top of the city.

"Call me the reserve team." He Jinzhao yelled.

The beep-beep whistle sounded.

The gunfire soldiers began to take a step back, leaving the place where the short-handed soldiers met to get out of the long spear team led by Liu Erhu.

They can only play support now, and it is really a disadvantage to fight hand-to-hand, because after a shot, it takes too long to fill up.

Even if there is a team to cooperate, it is inevitable that some people will not be able to keep up with the operations during the battle.

A small team of ten people, someone stabbed the eye, someone stabbed the stomach, and someone poked the leg.

Let your officers and soldiers hold a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, no matter how flexible they are, they will not be able to withstand this kind of collective poking.

The officers and soldiers who were stimulated by the money were finally driven to the city, and there was another burst of land mines.

Without waiting for Mingjin's order, the officers and soldiers abandoned the wounded and howling robes on the battlefield, and receded like a tide.

　Thanks for the sponsorship of 100 taels of silver from the fainting bird of paradise.
