Chapter 171 Cangzhou Relief (Part 1)

Looking at the mountain, the horses died. There were no mountains in the North China Plain. Zhu Youcheng only saw the tall walls of Cangzhou City. But even if he saw the walls and let go of the horsepower, they had not yet run to Cangzhou City after more than an hour.

When he arrived four miles away from the city, Zhu Youcheng announced that he would set up a camp even though it was not dark.

Chen Guoqi asked strangely: "Sir, this place is very close to Cangzhou City. It can reach the city of Cangzhou in a quarter of an hour. Why not enter where?"

Zhu Youcheng knew that Chen Guoqi had never experienced a big battle and was not fully thoughtful, so he said, "How to enter the city? 50,000 rioters surrounded Cangzhou City. Do you think a normal guard will let us in? I'm afraid the city gate is easy to open and not close."

Wu Huping asked, "Sir, it's still early, why don't you go forward any further? Even if you go forward a little further, it's better. In this way, the soldiers guarding the city have more confidence to see us guarding the city and can better defend the city. There is a big village in front of this place, and the houses block our military camp. There is nowhere to be seen in the city."

"This is the camping address I specially selected, with the purpose of being hidden. There are no people in the villages five hundred steps away, and 80% of them have been harmed by bandits. Our whereabouts are not easily exposed. It is almost dark. Whether it is the defenders of Cangzhou or the rioters, they have night blindness and cannot see the flag of our army. Too close to the city, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. Chen Guoqi, releases scouts, and do not let the scouts of the rioters discover our army. Wu Huping closely monitors Cangzhou City. If Cangzhou City falls, a thousand elite soldiers will be taken to rescue the people. As long as they can persevere until tomorrow morning, I will give them a surprise. Now attacking the rioters, first, our soldiers have not rested well, and second, they are easily injured by the defenders on the city."

The two generals received the order to issue the bill, and Ke Qingqing asked, "Brother Cheng, what will I do tomorrow? After cooking for a few days, my hands were calloused. I am a brave general, and I have been specially trained in the military camp."

As she said that, she stretched out a pair of white and tender horns, pinched her pink fists, and shook it in front of Zhu Youcheng.

King Xin also shook his head and said, "Brother Cheng can't forget me. Humph, I didn't bring me such exciting things this morning. A Jian was very angry."

Seeing the two of them singing and reunion, Zhu Youcheng laughed silently and said, "How can you forget where you two? Tomorrow, you two have a major task - to stay in the camp."

King Xin and Ke Qingqing shook their heads against each other, and the sounds were louder. Seeing that Zhu Youcheng did not respond, the two of them played tricks, holding Zhu Youcheng's arm on the left and right, shaking Zhu Youcheng almost became a tumbler.

Zhu Youcheng broke away from the hands of the two and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will lead Wu Huping, Chen Guoqi and 1,500 Jinyiwei attacked the rioters from behind. You two led the Five Hundred Jinyiwei to stay in the camp. Not touching mud is a generation of heroes. If you find reinforcements in Cangzhou, you will definitely attack our camp. You must guard your nest and not underestimate the enemy."

Xin Wang said: "What if the ghost thing is not covered in mud, what should I do if I don't come tomorrow? Wouldn't there be no war? Moreover, Brother Cheng once said that I have to accompany me for life and protect me, why do I go to war alone tomorrow?"

"Brother Cheng promises you that you will definitely have a fight tomorrow's battle. We will ride horses to fight tomorrow. A Jian's riding skills are not good. If you fall off the horse, it will be troublesome. The old nest is our foundation, ammunition, food and salary, A Jian, and Qingqing are all here. Do you have the confidence to keep it?"

Zhu Youcheng pointed out the importance of the task, and then King Xin replied to the anger and nodded vigorously.

"Brother Cheng, the military forces of the rioters seem to be very sufficient, with only 500 people. Can we defend them?" Ke Qingqing asked a little worriedly.

"It must be able to defend. 500 people are 500 muskets. One round is over. At least more than a hundred people fall, ten rounds are 1,000 people. Bandits are all a gathering of interests. If there is a hundred times the profit, they will certainly move forward, but if they find that this hundred times the benefit requires the price of life, they will scatter. In front of our rifled muskets, the bandits will definitely collapse. Besides, I have left you the tiger squat cannons. The tiger squat cannons are very heavy, but the lethality is amazing. I will leave them in the military camp. You have never seen the power of artillery. If you shoot one shot, it will be dozens or hundreds of lives. The bandits are scared to death. How dare you rush up? However, those forty gunners obviously have not passed through the battle. They may escape tomorrow. You must keep a close eye on them."

The two nodded again.

All the soldiers have received orders to have combat missions tomorrow morning and go to bed early. However, the medical soldiers worked all night, putting bandages and surgical tools in boiling water to disinfect them, preparing to rescue the wounded tomorrow. In a battle like tomorrow, there should be many wounded soldiers, so they must be prepared in advance.

The next morning, the Jinyiwei had a full meal, and was full of energy, waiting for Zhu Youcheng's order. Zhu Youcheng kept looking at Cangzhou City with binoculars, looking for fighter jets.

On the walls of Cangzhou, Xu Ru looked at the rioters tiredly, and thousands of people rushed out, and the fierce offensive and defensive battle was about to begin again.

In the rioters, he frowned and said, "If you can't capture Cangzhou City today, you will withdraw your troops and go to the nearby county town. My main force cannot be dragged here all the time. If the court sends more reinforcements and cooperates with the inside and outside, we will be done."

A man who looked like a master twisted his mouse-like beard and said, "Don't worry, the city of Cangzhou will be destroyed today."

Wuzingmui was overjoyed and asked, "Why did you say this?"

"King, yesterday we attacked the city head for the third time. I remember that when we attacked the city head for the first time, our soldiers retreated in less than a quarter of an hour. The second time we attacked the city head for half an hour, and yesterday we persisted for two hours. If it weren't for the time being too late, the soldiers' eyes could not see clearly, and the subsequent troops could not respond, we had already attacked."

"Okay, send more people and beat drums to order the soldiers to step up the attack!"

On the city wall, Xu Ruzhi saw the overwhelming bandits carrying a ladder and pushing the siege cart towards the city wall. He felt a chill in his heart and said to Lu Ping miserably: "Brother Lu, it's time for us to be loyal to the country."

Lu Ping was so angry that he said, "A man died and sacrificed his life for the country. His heroic spirits were immortal. He could go to the temple of the Ming Dynasty and receive the tribute of all people than to die on a sick bed."

Xu Ruzhi's heroic spirit surged and said, "Okay, let's go to the Temple of the Ming Dynasty together."

The Ming Dynasty Heroes Temple was established based on Zhu Youcheng's opinion and commemorated to the state-owned Ming officials. If the two died in battle on the battlefield, they would be really qualified to enter the Ming Dynasty Heroes Temple.

Suddenly, the two heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. Although the bandits were large, there were few horses, and the communication soldiers were riding mules. Such a large-scale cavalry team must be reinforcements sent by the court.

Xu Ruzhi jumped up with Lu Ping in his arms: "Reinforcements! The reinforcements from the court have arrived!"

Lu Ping shouted: "Soldiers, the court has not forgotten us. Reinforcements have arrived and Cangzhou City is saved!"

The morale of the defenders on the wall was greatly boosted, and the dark clouds in their hearts were wiped out.

The sound of horse hooves kept coming and the cavalry was getting closer and closer. Xu Ruzhi could see clearly that the cavalry wore a golden helmet and gold cotton armor, which was the standard clothing of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei. When would the Jinyiwei have fought? Could it be that the emperor in the deep palace was deceived by Xu Xianchun's dog thing, thinking that the Jinyiwei was invincible in the world? The Jinyiwei bullied the law-abiding people. If they had to fight with the bandits, it would not be enough for them to kill them.

Looking at the formation of the cavalry, Xu Ruzhi was so angry that he was almost cursing. More than a thousand people spread out and covered the chaotic people like a big net. It was simply fantasy. When you have magical skills to protect your body, you can fight ten. You are a cavalry, and you should line up in dense teams, rush towards the enemy formation, disrupt the enemy formation, and take the opportunity to cover up and kill when the enemy is defeated. Even I, a civil servant, know this truth. As a Jinyiwei, although you are ignorant, you have never learned the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Okay, even if you haven't seen it, you have heard it. How could you be so stupid?

When the Jinyiwei marched more than 400 steps away from the riot team, the sound of "bang bang bang" muskets sounded in the team. The sound of muskets continued, and smoke from their team began.

Lu Ping finally couldn't help it, and sweared, and said angrily: "Which stupid pig is this? The Ming Dynasty's firearm's effective range is only 100 steps. It's so far away to set a musket. Do you welcome him or see him off?"

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping looked at each other and shook their heads. It seemed that the ticket to the Ming Dynasty Yingye Temple cannot be refunded for the time being. Maybe they have to buy one for the Jinyiwei Qianhu. However, it is not easy to think about it.

However, they did not see that every time the Jinyiwei shot, a rioter fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died.

Because I have a little understanding of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, the rioters did not feel afraid when charging, but instead hoped that the other party would fire more guns. Because the reloading time of the firearms was very long, it would take a long time to put down a gun after the gun was released. When the group of cavalry approached, it would be their own world. It would be the only one who would seize the battlefield. At that time, we would ride horses, put on armor, and be majestic. But they did not notice that there were fewer and fewer people around them. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
