Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 275

Han Tong, who had withdrawn from Mingjin, looked livid, and the leaders, large and small, gathered in the big tent. Even though the brazier was burning very well, they were trembling and did not dare to make a sound.

Han Tongzheng gathered more than [-] believers and made the whole Shandong restless, relying on the extremely simple but attractive teachings of the White Lotus Sect.

Moreover, this group of people is often tempted by the vacuum of their hometown, and they can burst into extremely strong combat power in a short period of time. The elite officers and soldiers are often frightened by the madness and recklessness of the believers.

During these days, apart from the black armored cavalry encountered today, few officers and soldiers dared to go out of the city to fight.

However, there are pros and cons to everything. Han Tong also discovered a big problem, and it was a problem that he couldn't solve in a short time: Han Tong, king of Ming Dynasty, was likely to lose control over his followers because of their crazy beliefs.

Just because of one sentence today, I almost completely lost control over the believers. That feeling is really terrible!

"Song Jinxing, have you got the casualty statistics for today?"

The only middle-aged scribe in the tent who looked like a scholar left his chair, bowed and said, "Return to King Ming, the brothers in the old camp killed 670 seven people, seriously injured 790 three people, and slightly injured 410 two people. The former army died 350 years ago. 1000 and six people, the exact number of injured has not yet been counted, but there are more than [-] people."

Han Tong's complexion became even worse. Those wastes of the former army died as soon as they died, but the death and injury of the old camp brothers who had been following him all this time really made him feel distressed.

"Let those captured doctors take good care of the wounded brothers from the old camp. If the medicinal materials are not enough, send people to the surrounding towns to grab them."

When Song Jinxing heard this, he still wanted to persuade him, but he secretly glanced at Han Tong's eyes full of anger, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Your subordinate has taken orders, so let's go down and make arrangements."

After Song Jinxing walked out of the big tent, he shivered instantly when he was blown by the cold wind.

This Great Ming King of the White Lotus Sect is not the image of the Lord!

He shook his head slightly, smiled wryly and tightened the leather jacket on his body, then turned and walked towards the sick and wounded on the north side of the camp.

There are wounded soldiers from the old battalion that Han Tong cares about the most. There are warm tents, braziers that don't spare firewood, and the doctor's medicine that will come soon.

As for the former wounded soldiers placed outside the camp, they will also receive "medical treatment", such as a bowl of talisman water, a passage of scripture teaching, and a silly dream that will never come true.

Han Tong waited until Song Jinxing left the big tent before completely erupting.

He smashed the wine jar on the table to the ground, and the frozen soil in winter instantly tore the pottery wine jar to pieces. The smell of wine permeating the tent made several rough and ferocious yellow scarf leaders twitch. nose.

But they don't dare to ask for wine at this meeting, when King Ming gets angry, he will kill someone!

"What do you all eat? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that we rushed all the way from Tai'an, and we didn't even waste our energy to fight Qufu, just because we were afraid that unnecessary casualties would be caused by the hasty siege of thousands of miles. People can't restrain themselves, and being singled out by others is like an irrational beast, rushing forward without thinking..."

"Big Brother...Master Ming, it's not that my subordinates didn't think of a way to stop them, but then these poor people are like mad dogs, they will kill anyone they see. Brother, I almost died under their knives, I really can't stop them!"

Han Tong glared at the middle-aged man who called Qu, but didn't say anything to blame.

The few people standing in the front are all his confidantes, his brothers who are in charge, and in his team of more than ten thousand people, their prestige is already second only to him.

But even these few people couldn't restrain the crazy congregation, let alone others.

Han Tong fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the big tent became more dignified.

After what seemed like a long time, Han Tong suddenly said: "The black armored cavalry of the official army is likely to attack the camp tonight. Go down and be prepared. Be vigilant tonight and don't sleep too hard."

"Yes."

"Brother knows, big brother don't worry."

"Follow King Ming's order!"

The noisy response gave Han Tong a headache. Compared with the orders and prohibitions of the officers and soldiers, the White Lotus Sect was far behind.

……

The White Lotus Sect came from afar and plundered villages and towns along the way, but they robbed some money and food, but it was definitely not enough to supply the consumption of more than ten thousand people.

Song Jinxing calculated carefully, barely enough to last for five days, so tonight a pot was buried in the camp to make rice, and the rice porridge was so thin that the face of the person serving the rice could be seen.

Fortunately, there are also black-faced steamed buns and steamed buns, which can always fill your stomach.

In contrast, the officers and soldiers at the head of Yanzhou City were much happier. The hot mutton soup served with pancakes made the soldiers on duty at the head of the city gradually forget the fatigue of the day of the war.

The civilian husbands who helped in the battle today also ate the food provided by the government with big mouthfuls, no less than the soldiers with knives.There is enough broth and noodle cakes, and they are even allowed to take some time home to bring some to their families.

Jia Cong drank the last sip of the broth in the bowl, wiped his mouth and began to warm the fire while writing a memorial to the capital.

The White Lotus Sect has been hidden for so many years, and suddenly exploded on a large scale, and its combat power is really beyond imagination.

Apart from the army of the Beijing camp and the elite from the Nine Frontiers, the soldiers and horses of the guards of the inland state capitals are not necessarily the opponents of the White Lotus Sect.

Today, it is still possible to defend the Fucheng by relying on the tall and strong city of Yanzhou, and the support of Shenwu cavalry outside.

If only relying on Ren Chengwei's men and horses, maybe the Dragon Banner at the top of the city will be replaced by the Mingwang Banner of the White Lotus Sect.

"Little Sanye, shall I take the brothers from the Shenwu Camp to visit the White Lotus Sect's camp tonight?"

Jia Cong put down the pen in his hand and poured Jia Shiyi a cup of tea.

The two sat down opposite each other by the brazier and discussed the war.

Jia Cong said: "No, this Han Tong is extremely cautious. Uncle Eleven caught him off guard today, and he will definitely be careful tonight. Besides, the brothers in the Shenwu Camp are also very tired today, let them have a good rest. The time will come soon, he is on guard against him, let's rest ours, and when he relaxes a little bit, Uncle Eleven will lead his men to rush forward again."

Jia Shixi nodded, the third master was more comprehensive than he thought.The scene of the raid had just been sung once, and if she sang it again tonight, she might fall into Han Tong's trap.

"One more thing, I found a strange place when I was charging today..."

Jia Cong's spirit was cheered up by Jia Shishi's words, and he nodded to signal him to continue.

I only heard Jia Shixi say solemnly: "The front, middle, rear, and even the left and right soldiers of the White Lotus Sect seem to be loyal to Han Tong. Not to mention the former army who attacked the city, the third master should be able to see that even the soldiers are decent. They didn't even have any leather armor. Their left army was not strong in battle, and the brothers scattered in all directions when they met each other. They even left Han Tong and fled. But when they approached the middle army, the brothers were killed or injured. Their hands Not only do they have court-style bows and crossbows, but they also have neat armor."

Jia Cong dared to let Jia Shixi lead [-] cavalry into the battle, relying on the martial arts and iron cavalry, all armored and sharp.

Facing grassroots bandits like the White Lotus Sect, it can almost be said to be a unilateral crush.Unexpectedly, the more than 2000 elites around Han Tong would have the court's standard crossbows and armor.

It was only the first day of the confrontation, and two hundred of the eight hundred Shenwu iron cavalry were killed or injured, which is already considered traumatic.

"What do you think of Uncle Eleven?"

"I think that among the more than 1 people in Hantong, no more than [-] can actually be under his command. Those like the Zuojun may not necessarily work for Hantong and consume their own strength. So, we can think There are ways to divide it up.”

Jia Cong has already understood Jia Shishi's thoughts, so please!

It was indeed a good idea, but Jia Cong was unwilling.

If you want to get an official, kill and set fire to be recruited.One of the usual methods used by the imperial court to quell chaos, but Jia Cong did not intend to use it.

The White Lotus Sect outside the city is different from Wang Chenghai, the King of the Three Seas on the sea. He was a person who had avoided overseas during the previous dynasty, and there were very few people under the King of the Three Seas who committed evil things that disturbed the people.

On the other hand, this group of Bailian sect monsters, Shandong has been disturbed into such a state, and the people have been displaced, but this group of murderers and arsonists were recruited by the court to become officials. Why?
Jia Cong's face turned cold, even if he died in Yanzhou City, he would also make this group of cult monsters who did all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing, looting and torture, terrified.

Let the thieves all over the world who want to trample on the flesh and blood of the people to satisfy their selfish desires know that there is another Jia Sanlang in Daxia, who will not accept the surrender of the thieves who harm the people!
"Little third master..."

"Uncle Eleven, I don't want to recruit this group of people. Their hands are almost stained with the blood of innocent people. Do you remember what happened to the Yan family? Even eight or nine-year-old girls will not be spared. If I recruit these people Man, can't sleep at night!"

Jia Shixi was silent for a moment, then got up and bowed to Jia Cong: "What the young master taught me is that my subordinates are wrong!"

"What is Uncle Eleven doing? You're not wrong, and I'm not wrong either. It's the White Lotus Sect demon."

Jia Cong's complexion improved, and he got up and forced Jia Shixi to sit down.

He doesn't blame Jia Shishi, it's not uncommon for officials in the DPRK and China to use people as bait in order to seek a quick solution, not to mention recruiting security.

"Let's talk about tomorrow's defense."

Jia Cong deliberately changed the topic, opened up the map and discussed with Jia Shixi about the defense of his city, and discussed until almost midnight before spending the night in the city tower covered with a thick blanket.

Han Tong, who didn't dare to close his eyes because he was worried that the black-armored cavalry would attack the camp at night, stared at the red-bottomed black dragon flag on the head of Yanzhou city, feeling angry that he had been fooled.

I have prepared so much carefully, and waited for you all night, but you didn't come?
Damn it, Jia's child, you are really damned!
"Siege!"

Following Han Tong's order, the order of the White Lotus Sect's attack was much better this time.

Bows and crossbows suppressed the top of the city, siege vehicles and siege ladders moved forward slowly, and shield hands covered the siege bandits slowly killing towards the moat.

Jia Cong slashed at the oncoming arrow, frowning.

Yesterday's siege was much more violent, but an orderly siege would be a reward to the defenders at the top of the city.

Today is different, even though the bandits of the White Lotus Sect didn't have much rest overnight, Jia Cong felt the pressure coming from the orderly and approaching bandits.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The artillery at the top of the city finally showed its power, and the shells slammed into the siege team, killing many people every time, and even smashed a tall siege ladder.

But all of this could not make up for the lack of troops defending the city. After resisting for another morning, just after noon, many bandits from the White Lotus Sect climbed to the top of the city.

The gate of the city was also hit repeatedly by siege engines, and it was about to be breached.

Jia Cong wiped the neck of the bandit in front of him with a knife, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go to the city gate and pass the order, let them follow the plan!"

When a soldier quickly went down the city wall, Jia Cong wiped the blood on his visor, raised his knife and yelled: "Soldiers, behind us live our parents, our wives and brothers. You can't let the demons of the White Lotus Sect pass by. Follow me to kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

There was a loud cry of killing at the top of the city, and the already exhausted soldiers remembered the tragedy of the Yan family that Jia Cong narrated when they had dinner at the top of the city last night. The tragic death of a little girl made them suddenly angry.

It turns out that they keep preaching that the White Lotus Sect's Juntian Junchan will help the poor, but they are so cruel and commit all kinds of evil.

Mrs. Yan has a noble character and is well-known in Shandong. The Yan family is a truly benevolent family, but they were harmed by the White Lotus Sect.

So, if the White Lotus Sect enters the city, will there be any living people in Yanzhou?
The soldiers suddenly burst out with boundless combat power, and began to push towards the bandits of the White Lotus Sect who had climbed to the top of the wall.

The peasants also picked up the swords on the ground, or directly held the poles and sticks, and rushed to the top of the city to help the soldiers kill the enemy.

The bandits at the top of the city were quickly killed by the erupting soldiers and civilian husbands, and the supplementary rolling stones and wood soon played a big role. After stabilizing the situation at the top of the city, Jia Cong immediately sent Jia Shishi to check under the city The situation at the gate.

I don't know where Han Tong got the craftsmen to make the siege vehicles that are powerful and sturdy.

No matter how hard the rolling stone on the top of the city smashed down, it couldn't be destroyed.At this moment, the city gate was about to be overwhelmed. The Qianhu officer in charge of guarding the city gate suddenly raised his hand, and the red curtain was lifted, revealing a black cannon.

On both sides of the artillery, slender flintlock guns were aimed at the city gate.

With six hundred tigers, he kept his musket hidden in the cloth bag on his back on the way south, and today he was finally about to show his fangs to the bandits of the White Lotus Sect.

Including this Yuanyou Type [-] Tiger Cannon, which was just received from the Ministry of Industry before leaving Beijing, is one of Jia Cong's reserves for coming to Shandong this time.

Boom!

The city gate finally fell down, bricks and stones splashed, and dust flew up.

The bandits of the White Lotus Cult who were guarding against the swords at the gates of the city were overjoyed that they had not been attacked for a long time, thinking that the officers and soldiers had been frightened by their own ferocity.

When they came to the city shouting and charging, they saw hundreds of people not far in front of them.

There was only one cannon, no bows and crossbows, and strange-looking things in his hands were uncommon. The leader of the yellow scarf sneered and briefly explained a few words to the people around him.

It's just a firecracker, it's not as far as a bow and crossbow, and its accuracy is even worse.

"Brothers of the Holy Cult, King Ming has said that if you invade Yanzhou and don't seal your sword for three days, the gold and silver women in Yanzhou City will be used by brothers!"

In addition to hundreds of former soldiers who attacked along the city gate, there were more old battalion soldiers and horses who came to grab merit.

In just a few tens of breaths, nearly 2000 people stood in front of the six hundred tigers.

"Kill!"

As more and more people poured into the doorway, the bandits of the White Lotus Cult felt that they had the upper hand, and finally couldn't bear to rush over.

Without the slightest fear or panic, the soldiers of Huben aimed coldly under the command of Qianhu Wei Tong, with their fingers on the trigger.

"Second pillar, fire!"

The crackling introduction quickly brought the flame into the barrel of the gun, and there was only a bang, and the Huzun gun roared, and the shell shot out flat, cutting off the white lotus sect bandits who were rushing to kill.

The powerful Hu Zun cannon smashed a bloodstain from the charging formation of bandits in one shot, and finally smashed hard on the siege vehicle at the gate of the city.

clap la la...

The wooden siege vehicle couldn't withstand the attack of the shells at all, and fell apart in an instant.

This sudden situation and the huge power of the Hu Zun Cannon scared the bandits who were rushing to kill to a standstill, not daring to move forward.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, they only have one cannon, and they don't have time to reload the ammunition. There are only a few hundred people in the area, how can they be our opponents."

The leader of the yellow scarf hacked to death a former soldier who wanted to escape, and swung his knife forward: "Follow me to kill, those who are afraid of the battle, beheaded!"

Whether it was the ferocious threat of the leader of the yellow scarf, the temptation of the gold and silver women in the city, or the fact that these bandits were really not afraid, they continued to attack Huben at high speed amidst the shouts of killing.

Gunner Er Zhuzi cleaned the barrel and loaded ammunition in a leisurely manner according to the operating specifications.

Wei Tong looked at the approaching bandits and smiled coldly.

Feeling that the distance was almost there, he swung his long knife and shouted: "First row, shoot!"
