Chapter 366 C-word volume first line

   Before Feng Ziying could answer, Zhang Jin had already led people to catch up.

Seeing the corpses underground, Zhang Jin also changed slightly: "Ziying, it's best for you to go down, don't stay on the city wall anymore, it's useless to have you here alone. These two people should be the traitors who hid in the city in advance. Assassins of the army, who use assassination to create chaos, just now encountered such a situation over there."

  Feng Ziying was also a little embarrassed.

  I actually became a role in adding trouble to this city wall.

  I thought that my martial arts skills could at least deal with three or five people, but now it seems that these few moves are really not enough for you to fight to the death.

   But after all, I am also a person who has killed people. Looking at the man in front of him who was still clutching his neck and was shot to death by a firecracker, Feng Ziying can only say sorry. I have always been a person who only wants results.

   This self-generated firecracker was specially given to Feng Ziying by Feng Tang before he left, and it is a boutique among the imported products bought from Nanbianer.

  According to a businessman, it cost 1,200 taels of silver, which shows that it is expensive, and it was specially given to Feng Tang.

   Now Feng Tang gave it to his son as a weapon for protection, but he didn't expect it to be really useful.

Feng Ziying had tried a gun before, and it was indeed quite delicately built, and it was not a wheel-type self-generating firecracker, but a percussion-style self-generating firecracker, with ingenious design and exquisite workmanship. It can be regarded as a boutique, no wonder it is so expensive.

   I just don’t know if it is feasible for Da Zhou to imitate this self-generated firecracker.

  However, Feng Ziying estimates that if imitation is required, it may be difficult to achieve this level in many parts, and the price may also reach sky-high prices.

  Even if it cannot reach 1,200 taels of silver, it is estimated that it may not be possible to make it at a cost of hundreds of silver, and the quality cannot reach this level.

  This involves a whole set of industrialization system, even the most basic industrial system, from craftsmen to equipment and steel of gun barrels, I am afraid that everything will make Da Zhou, who has little foundation in this area, helpless.

   "Hey, you haven't answered my question yet." Seeing that Feng Ziying was distracted, the young man in front of him couldn't help but said, "Can you show me your firecracker?"

  Feng Ziying woke up with a start and shook her head: "Not now, this thing is too expensive and useful, but after this battle is over, I can lend it to you to play with. By the way, I haven't asked this young man for advice yet..."

  Young man blushed a little, but immediately turned serious: "My surname is You, and I live in You's Mansion, Shuncheng South Street, Zhongshuncheng, Ganzhou City."

  You House? At first Feng Ziying wondered if it was related to the three You Shigong brothers, but thinking that the You brothers lived in Yulin for generations and were thousands of miles away from here, it was unlikely.

"Why did Brother You come to the city wall?" Feng Ziying was very curious. At first he thought this was the guard Zhang Jin had summoned, but seeing the girl's appearance, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, even if she was a boy. , and it is impossible to call such people into battle.

   "If Ganzhou falls, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape." Brother You pursed his lips, "I intended to see the situation. If it doesn't work, I have to make plans early..."

"Is there no other man in your family, let you come?" The girl blushed, she didn't know if the other party saw her disguise as a man, and pretended to be calm: "I just came to see, but I didn't expect..., I I want to ask, can this city still be defended?"

Seeing that Zhang Jin next to him was assigning personnel, Feng Ziying stopped talking to this "savior", "I don't know if I can keep it, but you'd better go back and make preparations, if there is anything I'll have someone notify you of the situation, Shuncheng South Street Youfu, I'll remember."

  Seeing Feng Ziying's solemn appearance, the girl nodded, knowing that now is not the time to talk, and the young man in front of her must be a very important person.

  …

   When the second round of the rebel offensive ended, it was already dark.

The lack of sufficient siege equipment became the biggest problem restricting the rebels from launching a larger offensive. The rebels once wanted to pile up soil to attack the city, but the loose and broken loess around Ganzhou City became the biggest problem. Unless there were enough cloth bags, Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve this goal, and once such signs appeared, the archers who concentrated on shooting would become the biggest nightmare for buying the lives of the rebels.

  Looking at He Zhisheng, whose forehead was covered with a blood-stained white cloth strip, and whose face was full of murderous looks, Feng Ziying felt that this guy was a bit of an iron-blooded warrior. The initial bewilderment and nervousness seemed to be the appearance.

However, it is also understandable that he has never taken up such a task of guarding a big city like Ganzhou. He is a guerrilla, not even a general. He was suddenly pushed to this position, and tens of thousands of people in the city lost their lives Converging on his shoulders, it can't help but make him a little nervous.

"Still can't hold it." Putting the thick ring knife in his hand on the ground, He Zhisheng didn't talk nonsense: "They have too few vehicles hitting the city with ladders and siege vehicles, but according to the information I got, Liu Dongyang captured sixty miles away. The West Cave Fort, supervise the construction of ladders and siege vehicles there, and they will be able to reach the city by tomorrow night at the latest."

"General He, I feel that today's two rounds of attacking the rebels are not very motivated. How many people have retreated after they died?" Zhang Jin frowned, observed very carefully, and put forward a different opinion, "They are under the city. There were seven or eight thousand people, but less than a thousand were killed or wounded, and they refused to fight anymore,..."

"Master Zhang, Liu Baichuan asked Liu Dongyang to play the main force, but Liu Dongyang knew that there would be enough siege equipment tomorrow, so of course he refused to go to death, so he naturally refused to take care of it." He Zhisheng said in a deep voice: "But once Tomorrow Liu Dongyang will deliver the siege equipment and personally supervise the formation, neither his own headquarters nor Liu Baichuan's will dare to slack off like this, I'm afraid we may not even be able to survive tomorrow night."

   "Brother Shi means that we withdraw now?" Feng Ziying couldn't help asking: "What about the grain in the East Dacang?"

  In Ganzhou City, there is the most important granary in Gansu Town—Dongda Cang, also known as Ganzhou Cang and Da Cang.

There are tens of thousands of stones of grain in the East Dacang, which is the main granary supporting the border troops around Ganzhou, including Suzhou Wei, Ganzhou Wuwei, Shandanwei, Gaotaisuo, and Zhenyisuo. They all depend on the food here to survive.

And once you give up, it almost means that you have to give up the Western Gansu Guards completely, and if you give up and want to get it back, not to mention whether someone will give you the whole chance, even if you can get it back, the price you have to pay How big it will be, anyone can imagine.

The Huoluochi who are active in the West Sea in the southwest, the Balhu Taiji of Yongxiebu, and the truth Taiji of Tumote have long coveted this place, but they still have a fear of Da Zhou, so they only dare to harass and not Dare to enter in a big way.

   This is not counted as the Mughals who are active in Hami in the northwest, and they have long wanted to cross Jiayuguan and invade eastward.

  Without food, no matter whether you burn it or throw it away to the rebels, it means that you have to give up Zhuwei Town in the west of Gansu Province, which no one dares to express easily.

  He Zhisheng opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end.

   It shouldn’t be him who decides whether to withdraw or not. He is a guerrilla general.

  There is no commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief is missing, and the general is seriously injured and unconscious. These are not the reasons for him, a guerrilla general, to express his position.

  The ready-made right servant of the Ministry of War and the special envoy of the three governors, as well as this Qianhu-sama of the Long Banwei, it is up to you to decide.

"I can't withdraw. If I withdraw from Ganzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it back." Zhang Jin shook her head. "If the food is burned, the rebel army may burn the city if they come in. If the food is left behind, the rebel army may be the foundation one by one. It will be even more difficult for the imperial court to regain this place."

It is conceivable that if the rebels gain a firm foothold here, the Mughals in the northwest and the Tatar tribes in the West Sea in the southwest will be happy to see such a force independent of the Great Zhou, and if the Great Zhou wants to regain it , I'm afraid not only have to face the threat of Su Nang at the beginning, but also have to face more enemies.

"Can't withdraw? Then how can we hold it?" He Zhisheng couldn't help it, "I only have more than a thousand people, and today I have lost more than 300 people. The brothers have complained a lot. Suzhou Wei and Zhen Yi There are probably five or six thousand people left, but they simply can’t make it in time, and they don’t dare to draw out their troops all at once, what should we do?”

  Feng Ziying also fell into silence, this is not playing a game, a lone hero, one man is the one who is in charge of the gate, and no one can do it, what you do is what you do, and arrogance is self-destruction.

  As Zhang Jin said in today's battle, the rebels' offensive was not considered ferocious, otherwise the defenders would not have been able to deal with it so easily. It might be that Liu Dongyang hadn't arrived, and Liu Baichuan was unwilling to compromise his own troops.

  But he noticed that Zhang Jin offered not to withdraw, which surprised him a bit.

  This shouldn’t be Zhang Jin’s statement, or he shouldn’t have made such a statement. When He Zhisheng made it clear that he couldn’t bear it, but his attitude was not yet clear, he should have kept silent based on his character.

   With a slight movement in her heart, Feng Ziying seemed to remember something.

   "Master Zhang, is there anyone in the Long Jinwei of the Liu Baichuan Department?" Zhang Jin was taken aback, but He Zhisheng was taken aback.

  Zhang Jin nodded slowly: "Yes, but the level is too low to play a big role."

Feng Ziying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. According to the usual practice, there are Long Jinwei in all departments of the frontier army, but basically they hide their identities and only monitor the words and deeds of the general. However, it is hard to say how good the effect is, at least the rebellion in Ningxia Town Captain Long obviously failed his duty.

   "Then Master Zhang said today that Liu Baichuan's troops are not strong enough to fight. Could there be other reasons?" Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Jin hesitated, "Liu Baichuan was the last to join the rebellion. The news came that he was not very willing, but because Tu Wenxiu and Xu Chao's ministries have already rebelled, if he doesn't follow, I'm afraid he will only be annexed. Even beheaded,... but in the past two months, his performance has been quite fierce, and he will take the lead in every battle, so..."

  Feng Ziying's eyes lit up.

   Ask for likes on characters, Easter eggs!
