Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 80

The offensive and defensive battle at the East Gate was extremely tragic.

Hong Chengchou sent people to attack, even though his troops were strong, he didn't dare to fight Li Yunlong's rich battle.

Naturally, there are main attacks and feints.

The explosion under the East Gate immediately disrupted the attacking momentum of the Ming army.

They fought a field battle with the bandits in Shaanxi, which was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, but for the tough battle.

You have to fill it with human life step by step, in order to destroy many arrangements of the defender, and then have a chance to jump on the top of the city.

Thanks to the Ming Dynasty’s fondness for laying tiles, it may be that the city walls of Yuandadu are all rammed earth, which is not beautiful enough, so they took the action of wrapping bricks.

Therefore, Chinese cities have changed from the yellow color scheme of thousands of years ago, and all of them have become gray brick structures, which are also stronger.

Now Hong Chengchou is facing such a brick city wall.

Even Hou Jin can only bombard this kind of city with red-clothed cannons.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had wooden donkeys with pointed heads that could protect them from arrows and fire, but they couldn't stand the intensive care of Frangji, and they were scrapped one after another.

The East Gate city was in a mess.

The tide of officers and soldiers retreated in retreat as if they were rushing in.

He Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and put aside his only firecracker.

In the future, there will be no situation where I am the only one with firecrackers. I finally bought more than a dozen craftsmen from the guards, and some of them can make firecrackers.

Although it is still an arquebus, it is better than nothing.

Now that hot weapons have appeared, make good use of them.

"Captain, I'm so greedy looking at the armor outside the city."

Seeing He Jinzhao leaning against the inside of the city wall, Liu Erhu walked over and smiled.

Many people don't wear armor on their bodies, even if they wear armor, it's still leather armor.

Cotton armor like the official army still has a certain effect on protecting arrows.

Of course, in thirty or forty steps, in the face of firearms and heavy arrows from the Tartars, generally armor is useless.

"Seeing that we once repelled the attack of the official army, but the initiative is not with us."

He Jinzhao glanced at the armor on the corpses outside the city. He also wanted to pull it off from the corpses of the officers and soldiers and put them on for his soldiers.

But the environment does not allow it!
"Captain, when are you going to take the brothers out?" Liu Erhu asked cautiously, with longing eyes.

The last time I took the cavalry out to make contributions, more than a hundred cavalrymen made Hong Chengchou want to die.

If he went out with his first whistle, what would happen?
"Where is this going!"

He Jinzhao didn't care at all about fighting out: "I don't believe that Hong Chengchou can besiege us for three months."

According to this level of siege trend, He Jinzhao was afraid that Hong Chengchou would not have so many soldiers who could be killed or injured.

When Liu Erhu heard that the captain did not directly refuse, he immediately beamed with joy.

It seems that the captain doesn't want to stick to it.

"Then the next time you go out of town, the captain will have to take me with you." Liu Erhu rubbed his hands expectantly: "After all, our old team members are all waiting to make meritorious service!"

Only by doing meritorious deeds can there be rewards and opportunities for advancement.

Since He Jinzhao's number has expanded, those old team members don't want to be just a leader anymore.

It's a pity that even if He Jinzhao is nepotism, it's not obvious. Most of them rely on their own abilities to hold positions in the army.

This made many people see an opportunity.

"Tell my brothers, there are plenty of opportunities to go out of the city and kill dogs." He Jinzhao pointed to the officers and soldiers outside the city and said:
"Let's wear down their arrogance first. As long as they survive for three days, I don't believe that the generals under Hong Chengchou will not feel sorry for their own servants!"

It takes money and trouble to keep a servant, and they can't afford to lose it.

At that time, it should be the generals of the Ming army. He Jinzhao does not believe that Hong Chengchou will desperately urge them.

The servant is private, even if the general is deposed by the court, the servant will still follow him, unless he is dead, has no sons or nephews, or cannot afford to support him.

The loss of personnel and ordnance is not small.

The most hateful thing was the explosion created by He Jinzhao, which cast a shadow over the minds of many officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Bei felt a little uncomfortable, he was originally hired by Hong Chengchou, and he brought his servants to make contributions.

He and He Renlong each led 150 servants last time, and achieved great results, and the servants did not suffer any damage.

But in the first round of the storm today, 25 people were directly injured.

And judging by the governor's appearance, there will only be more such attacks in the future, not less.

He has only 250 servants in his hands. According to this, he will become a polished commander in less than ten days.

As for how many civilians or guards were killed or injured, they didn't care.

Because those who are not your own can be discarded.

Only servants are dependent on life and death.

He Renlong and Bai An also had a bad look on their faces, what a fine servant, one beat ten of them, and ended up dying in the city.

Hong Chengchou nodded when he heard the number of casualties, and said in order to appease everyone: "The funeral expenses and rewards will be distributed in a while, and everyone's contributions will be recorded truthfully."

"Thank you sir."

Several generals can only thank them, otherwise what else can they do?
It's only the first day of the storm, and it's setback.

Crazy He didn't say anything, saying that Ganquan County would be broken in three days.

His heart is bleeding for those servants who were killed or injured!

What the hell is whoever beats whoever feels distressed!

"The traitor He Jinzhao cannot be wiped out overnight." Hong Chengchou expressed his judgment in public.

He also saw that several generals looked bad, and it must be that the servants suffered too much loss.

"Then let's surround him. I don't believe how much food there is in his city."

Crazy He was quite helpless and very annoyed.

Li Bei also nodded, and the governor got some food from the feudal lord, although it was not much, it could last for a while.

Coupled with the support of Lord Yang, the governor of the three sides, they are not afraid of a protracted war.

Hong Chengchou didn't respond immediately, delaying time, the official army is the one who can't afford it.

He Jinchao's small group of rebels trapped the army of Shaanxi rebels here, which would only make other rebels intensify and grow stronger.

"By the way, is there any news from Fan's Manor?" Hong Chengchou asked casually.

"Your Excellency Governor." Ningxia Commander-in-Chief He Huchen then cupped his hands and said:

"A group of rebels came out. Instead of supporting Ganquan County, they went in the direction of Fushi instead."

"Oh?" The last thing Hong Chengchou wanted to happen still happened.

Those rebels weren't all fools, but he would rather have Wang Jiayin and others hide in Fan's Manor and watch him and He Jinchao fight each other.

As a result, some rebels couldn't hold back their loneliness and left the area of ​​Ganquan County.

"Master Governor, do we want to pursue?"

He Huchen inquired, he just wanted to fight the rebels in the wild, it would be so simple with little loss and great results.

Congratulations on this hard board at present, it would be a big loss and a small victory, so it is not worth it!

　Thanks to Wu Zhifeng for the sponsorship of 500 taels of silver. Now that the great cause has not been accomplished, it will be recorded in the credit book first.
