Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 491 Armor Brilliance (Part [-])
Zheng Zongzhou, the governor of Tianjin, was trembling. He personally inspected the entire Tianjin city defense, and he couldn't see Dazhigu thirteen miles away.

Fortunately, these rebels have no plans to attack Tianjin.

He knew very well that the soldiers of Tianjin Sanwei could not defeat those rebels.

He has also heard of Lu Xiangsheng, who trained the soldiers and horses of the three prefectures under the name of Tianxiong Army.

In recent days, Zijinliang, the leader of the bandits from Shaanxi, has been attacked one after another, which is enough to prove that the Tianxiong soldiers trained by Lu Xiangsheng are soldiers who dare to fight.

Zheng Zongzhou, the governor of Tianjin, did not know why this group of Tianxiong troops suddenly rebelled and what their plan was to loot the Dazhigu Wharf.

"Has the person who went to investigate ever returned?"

Hearing the governor's inquiry, Tianjin Wei Qianhu hastily cupped his hands and said, "Master Zheng, you haven't come back yet."

"It must be closely monitored, lest the rebels take advantage of the chaos to attack the city."

"Yes."

Zheng Zongzhou stroked his gray beard and let out a long sigh. The position of governor of Tianjin was originally for the elderly, so why did such a bad thing happen.

It really kept him awake.

The three thousand households were very grateful for the governor's decision to defend the city.

It's okay for the soldiers in their hands to bully the poor and the poor, but they have to bow and bow to those bastards when they arrive at Dazhigu.

Not to mention the Tianxiong army who hacked those gangsters to death.

The rebels had no siege equipment. Although Tianjin City was somewhat dilapidated, it was not easy to break through.

There was still noise at the pier, but some people were so shocked that they couldn't eat or sleep well.

The soldiers guarding Tianjin stared wide-eyed in fear, fearing that the rebels would come to attack late at night.

Some alert soldiers, hearing that the rebels were distributing money and food, hanged themselves to the city with a dozen of them, ready to fish in troubled waters.

As long as they don't wear the dilapidated brave uniforms, who can tell whether they are ordinary people or officers and soldiers?

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were worse than the common people, especially the soldiers of the Weisuo, who lived in even more poverty!

The bully who oppresses the powerful can't afford to be oppressed, oppresses the common people, who doesn't have a few relatives who are thieves, be careful of your head.

Therefore, these guard soldiers can only obediently be the "slaves" of Lord Qianhu, just to make a living.

At dawn the next day, the defenders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The governor has just fallen asleep.

Just when the sky was getting dark, a big drum sounded suddenly from the top of the city.

Since ancient times, the initiative in war has never been on the defensive side.

The attacker can effectively choose the time that suits him to attack, but the soldiers of Tianjin Wei can only shout loudly.

"The rebels are coming."

With a loud roar, it was like a stone smashing into a flock of birds.

The entire Tianjin city wall immediately became chaotic. Many soldiers who had slept against the wall woke up from their sleep, jumped up, and looked outside the city.

From far to near, the dust is flying.

There was a sound of horseshoes, revealing cavalry in armor.

They held banners and waved them in the wind.

These rebels clamored loudly and began to run around the city wall of Tianjin.

The intention is to wake up the Ming army dozing off on each city wall, provide them with intimate wake-up service, and make them sleepless for a long time.

As for the soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall, they all looked at the rebels outside the city in horror.

They are majestic and majestic, with distinctive armor, which looks like iron armor at first glance, and even their legs are wrapped in iron armor.

(Like a football stocking, it covers the calf and the top of the foot.)
This kind of elite soldiers is definitely not something that a group of soldiers who don't wear leather armor can beat them.

The "Da Ming rebels" outside the city shouted and shouted, very majestic.

The Daming defenders in the city were frightened, fearing that the rebel army would be behind, and the battle to defend the city would follow.

"Boil the golden juice and prepare the cannon." Tianjin Wei Qianhu shouted.

These rebels are so provocative, they must be attacking the city!

In any case, boil the golden juice first, and pour it on them when their army arrives.

Most of these guards have been abolished, and there are not enough places.

Hearing Tianjin Wei Qianhu's order, they greeted each other to go down to the city to move the stored gold juice. In front of Xiaoming, what is a little stench?

Governor Zheng Zongzhou, who had just fallen asleep, was immediately woken up again.

"My lord, the rebels are coming to attack the city!"

Hearing this, Zheng Zongzhou got up immediately, asked the servant to dress him, and then splashed cold water on his face, trying to make himself more awake.

Today was the first day that the rebels came to attack the city, so he had to fight in front of the city wall to boost morale no matter what.

Otherwise, relying on the weak guard soldiers, there is no way to defend Tianjin Acropolis.

Zheng Zongzhou was afraid of death, but he also wanted fame. Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian were all killed by Wei Zhongxian, and Yang Lian was posthumously named No.1.

Thinking that Zheng Zongzhou is also as famous as the other two, how can he lose his fame today and fall down for his whole life, how can his children and grandchildren lift it up?
A group of people hurried up the city wall.

Zheng Zongzhou, governor of Tianjin, looked carefully at the rebel cavalry outside the city. All of them were fat and strong, and they must be good at riding and shooting.

"Soldiers, today I will guard the city with you, and we will live and die together.

If the Acropolis of Tianjin is breached by rebels, I will immediately jump off the top of the city and die for the country. "

Zheng Zongzhou pointed to the cavalry outside the city and said: "Although the rebels are proficient in cavalry and archery, they are designated not to attack the city with cavalry.

As for the ordinary people they recruited yesterday, how can they defeat you generals who carry swords? "

The Tianjin guards probably didn't feel anything when they listened to the governor's words.

Why die for the country, live and die with you and so on.

Just listen to what the grown-ups say, but if you take it seriously, it only shows that you are a big idiot.

Once the city is broken, they will run faster than anyone else, but they will not be able to surrender, and their status will still be higher than that of your little pawn.

On the contrary, if you join the rebel army, you can get a share of money and food, and many brothers ran to collect it last night.

This group of rebels don't care who you are, as long as you kill those gangsters who are running for the dock snakes, you can get money and food.

This kind of deal is really a bargain.

Those gangsters bully people a lot on weekdays, killing and maiming countless people.

Today they can be regarded as retribution.

Some courageous people took away a batch, and took advantage of the dark night to go up and stab people to death for the second time to collect money and food, so the rebels didn't care.

He Jinzhao felt that he couldn't take it away anyway, so he might as well give it all up. It doesn't matter how many times you take it, as long as you have the guts to take it.

Many soldiers of Tianjin Guard were thinking that if those brothers could report back tonight, they would sneak out at night and make a fortune.

Otherwise, they won't be able to save the money and food for the rest of their lives, and it's free, don't want it for nothing.

Governor Zheng Zongzhou looked at the morale of the soldiers in the guard, and it was really not serious, so he immediately ordered:

"Go and recruit all the country gentry in the city, and let them each take their servants and servants to guard the city, or else they will die after the city is broken!"
