Chapter 168 Firearms (Part 2)
Chapter 168 Firearm (Part 2)
Nanyang County, Jingzhou.
The county town of Nanyang County has a history of hundreds of years. It has undergone several changes, reconstruction of old cities, migration of new citizens, and many changes. This big city finally competes with other counties in Jingzhou and shines its own unique brilliance.
Above the city wall, a middle-aged man stood with an unusual manner. His demeanor was not as majestic as an ordinary official. He was still standing there and was quite majestic. In his early forties, a short black beard drifted in the wind.
On the outside of the brocade robe was a thin layer of armor, with golden light flashing, made of high-quality metal. Around him, there were several men in armor, who were slightly wrong with him.
The scholar wearing a Confucian robe is closest to him, and he must be his confidant.
At this moment, the eyes of these people were all turned to the city of the county city.
At this time, Nanyang County was covered with a murderous aura. Outside the county town, although the 30,000 Shu troops were silent, they surrounded the city tightly without hesitation.
Of these 30,000 people, two thousand were cavalrymen, holding long swords, with sharp blades, reflecting light in the sun.
Although the others are infantry, their helmets are bright and their armors are bright, and they are silent while exuding a murderous intent.
The neatly arranged army, with dense flags dancing in the wind.
There are 30,000 people, and each of them is lined up by a small array. Each of them has a large array. At first glance, you can't see the edge.
Judging from the power of the Shu army, the soldiers on the city made heavy breathing sounds.
Among these 30,000 people, the flag was clearly written with a big "king" written. The flag fluttered in the wind, making the people on the city tower see it very clearly.
The Duke of Shu, Wang Hongyi, really attacked!
Not long ago, the envoy was sent, and the prefect Xiao Shi was unsteady and had a generous banquet for a banquet, but he refused to agree readily. However, Wang Hongyi allowed him to delay the time. After ten days, he immediately set off an army when he saw that there was no answer.
This time, there were 20,000 veterans and 10,000 new recruits. It was enough to bring the Thunder Cart.
Wang Hongyi, who had the complete Shu area, broke Xiangyang, and the five counties of Jingzhou, had a huge reputation in Jingzhou at this time. At this time, the army was suppressed, which made the officials in the city tremble.
Now, the Shu army surrounded Nanyang County City, but did not launch an offensive immediately, but just surrounded it without attacking.
It is conceivable that one is the Duke of Shu who conquered several counties one after another, and the other is a large county. The war between these two sides will naturally attract a lot of attention.
There will be countless people paying attention to the victory or defeat of this battle!
In this case, watching the people under the city walls naturally have a lot of worries.
"My lord wins!" Suddenly, the Shu army burst into cheers of thunder and thunder.
Amid cheering, a large cart was raised high in the canopy and slowly moved forward.
The wind blew the sound of the canopy, and Wang Hongyi waved his hand.
"Thousands of victory! Thousands of victory! Thousands of victory!"
The soldiers of the Shu army waved their weapons, and the sound of "Wan Sheng" that was overwhelming was rising and falling.
Even though it is said that the victory is the same as the long live, this power makes the soldiers in the city tremble unconsciously.
Looking at Wang Hongyi, the prefect Xiao Shi showed a terrifying expression in his eyes.
"The Shu army is indeed majestic!" Xiao Shi looked at the neatly arranged Shu people and horses, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"Lord, are you surrendering and defending, but you already have an idea?" The scholar beside Xiao Shi also stared at the Shu army outside and asked for a while.
"Oh, I was hesitant at this moment." Xiao Shi said dejectedly: "But I am unwilling to surrender now!"
No matter how much you have a choice, you can only hurry up and slow down. After all, you are too weak and can only survive in the cracks.
As he was speaking, a lieutenant had already emerged from the Shu camp in the city, riding a black horse, rode his horse towards the city wall, and ran to a hundred steps away from the city, and stopped far away.
The captain shouted to the city: "Listen to the city, I will inform you of the Duke of Shu. In this chaotic era, Duke of Shu received the order of heaven, and was the Lord of Shu. He valued virtuousness and ability. He would be rewarded for those who are virtuous and talented. If the prefect and generals in the city lead their troops to join us, the lesser ones will be the original position, and the more serious ones will be rewarded."
"Sun Chang in Xiangyang resisted the royal army, not only died, but his clan was also destroyed. Listen to you, today, this is the Duke of Shu who loves talents and the people. If he dares to resist stubbornly, the army will be too late to regret it."
The Shu army won consecutive victories, and they were invincible in several battles. The whole army was greatly encouraged. At this time, the horse was energetic and the people were full of confidence in the shouting!
The people watching the battle on the city tower watched silently, and the generals showed chills.
At this time, Xiao Shi looked at the scene under the city and had his own plans in his heart.
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, and quietly looked at the magnificent tens of thousands of Shu troops below, without saying a word. He was unable to confirm his eyes, so he looked away for a while.
Faced with such an enemy, Xiao Shi naturally found it difficult to calm down.
How many days can Nanyang County really withstand such a powerful Shu army?
If you resist, what will happen?
"In terms of military strength, Nanyang is only 15,000, which is difficult to compare with the Shu army. The generals under the tent are difficult to fight against!" Xiao Shi stood on the city tower, looking down at the continuous army under the city, and sighed.
After hearing this, the scribe said helplessly: "Master, please make a decision quickly."
He neither dared to fight nor wanted to surrender. This lord is really indecisive and not human inside or outside.
Just as Wang Hongyi frowned and issued an order to launch the Thunderbolt chariot and prepare to attack the city, an envoy from the city came to ask for a visit.
"Let him come in." Wang Hongyi thought for a moment and said after hearing the news.
In the central army tent, Wang Hongyi sat in the upper position, and the left and right servants stood aside to protect him. Wang Hongyi's eyes fell on the scholar who kowtowed as soon as he entered the door.
"Are you a Nanyang envoy?" Wang Hongyi spoke and asked in a low voice.
"That's right, the gentle minister Xue Changguang, who is a sixth rank in the county town, is here to deliver the surrender form for my lord." The scribe kowtowed and said.
"Reduce the table?" He was already ready to attack the city, but the other party suddenly sent someone to surrender. Wang Hongyi was a little surprised.
However, Wang Hongyi suddenly felt relieved.
That's fine.
Wang Hongyi was so happy that he won a county without any effort, and he was so happy that he didn't know the other party's little plan in his heart that he immediately agreed to the request of Nanyang County to surrender.
Then the gates of Nanyang County and the county gates were wide open, and the county magistrate Xiao Shi personally took the civil and military officials out of the city gate to welcome the Shu army into the city.
"The beginning and the end!" Wang Hongyi felt contempt for this person. Although he continued to appoint him as a fifth-rank official in accordance with his previous habits, he immediately removed his real power.
"You are appointed as the fifth-rank official and the minister to discuss with the minister."
The county magistrate Xiao Shi was shocked, but at this time he had to kowtow and said, "Yes!"
In the afternoon, the military camp near the forest was a new camp with 3,000 new recruits.
A general riding a dark horse, surrounded by several cavalrymen, passed through the camp like wind, making the new recruits look up enviously.
The general was wearing a large armor and a black helmet. He looked only thirty years old, with a long nose and a wide mouth, a slightly dark face, and his eyes were full of majesty.
At this time, the recruits who had just come in couldn't help but look envious.
"Stop looking, this is the commander-in-chief of Zhang Yi and Zhang Du!" said a record clerk.
Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan withdrew their gazes and continued to report, asking the clerk to fill in the documentary, and there were craftsmen carving them on the spot, which was very fast.
"Okay, you are now from my Shu army. You two have to hold it away. This is your military card. If you lose it, you will have to play ten sticks."
Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan accepted it and looked at it. This was a wooden sign half the size of a palm. The name was carved on the front and the rural name on the back was simply carved.
They didn't know that when Wu Xingzong took the wooden sign, a trace of insignificant white energy penetrated to Wu Xingzong's top.
"Follow me, from now on, I will be your fire!" At this time, a veteran with an injured arm shouted loudly. Even if he was disabled, his awesomeness would not diminish.
Ten new recruits immediately followed obediently and came to a wooden barracks with eleven simple beds in the room.
The veteran's bed was a little separate and close to the door.
"Listen, today you are familiar with the bed, camp, and restaurant camp, reciting the basic military rules, and start training tomorrow." The veteran shouted: "Listen, don't take the training of Gengzhu Camp seriously. According to the order of the lord, the Gengzhu Camp will not be organized. Who can train better? The sergeant commander and the deputy fire commander have the right to recommend it!"
Seeing the confused expression of the new recruits, the veteran snorted. These new recruits don’t understand. In the military camp, the senior official level is to crush people to death. Don’t underestimate the sergeant deputy fire commander. This is the fate of manipulating the soldiers.
In the new sect camp, the acting sergeant or even the deputy fire chief will generally not refute the army. The agent will become regular after three months, but this step is not taken. You must wait until the beheading level four to five in the future before you can take the position.
The veteran drank again and said, "Who among you can read?"
Ten people looked at each other, and Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan took a step forward.
"Hey, there are two this time, which is good!" The veteran looked at the thin Tang Yuan with disdain and looked at the tall Wu Xingzong: "You are the acting sergeant now. Teach Quanhuo to recognize the name, recite the military rules, do well, achieve results, and don't go back."
Wu Xingzong responded, and the five white qi that appeared faintly gathered on the top. After a gathering, he suddenly saw an invisible force on the top, and firmly grasped the five white qi so that it could not escape.
"Change in military uniforms and go to the schoolyard. There is another name call in the evening. Who dares not? The first time you are thirty, the second time you are 100, and the second time you are beheaded, and the third time you are beheaded!" the veteran said coldly.
"No!" The ten people understood this and divided them into two groups and went to the schoolyard.
"As soon as he joined the army, he felt really good." Wu Xingzong half-squinted his eyes and thought to himself.
People who have read books are different. The sergeant commander and the deputy fire commander have the right to recommend the sergeant. Others are a little vague. Wu Xingzong understood it as soon as he heard it.
Deputy Fire Chief, hehe, I'm going to get it in Gengzu Camp!
I don’t know why, after the appointment of the acting chief, a heat suddenly surged in Wu Xingzong’s heart, as if he had been hungry for many years and began to eat again.
Must catch it! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations from ***(***.***). ***. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
