Seeing that Guo Huai finally compromised, Luo Jingcheng handed the six to Guo Huai, and then handed the one hundred taels to his brother.
As for earthen explosives, he didn't dare think about it. After all, apart from the government-run ones, there is really only one private shop in Leiyang that can secretly make homemade explosives.
Of course, he didn't dare to go back home. After all, they had already doubted him before things became clear last time.
When the matter became clear, his father and mother still didn't know how to punish him.
Maybe, the hundred and sixty dollars would be loaned out by her mother, so he only stayed with his brother nearby for a few days.
The first person to bring good news was Guo Huai. Guo Huai only said to the others, "My brother has agreed to your request. Come out and respond."
After hearing Guo Huai's words, the others were naturally obedient and prepared to go out and take over.
They quickly went to the military preparation camp in the north of Leiyang City.
Because this is an important military area, there are not many people walking around the Armed Forces Camp. Instead, there are only heavy guards outside.
Several people followed Guo Huai, originally worried about nothing, but Guo Huai directly took a token of the Armed Forces Camp and then walked swaggering among the crowd.
Fortunately, the guards still recognized this sign, so when they entered, the guard didn't even ask. He looked as if he was just entering and exiting the city gate casually.
A few people initially shrank from following Guo Huai, but soon they got used to it, and they just raised their heads and straightened their chests.
When we arrived at the guard station on the last floor, the guard at the door asked, "What are you doing?"
At this time, Guo Huai just calmly said, "Commander Shan came to see you for something."
Hearing Guo Huai mention Commander Shan, the guard immediately let Guo Huai in without asking any more questions.
After a few people stepped into the inner city, they were quickly received by the personal guards beside General Shan. The personal guards only led them into a tent. It was clear sky and daylight in the tent, but they could hear To the sound of singing, dancing, silk and bamboo, and laughter.
This sound only made a few of them wonder whether they had arrived at Wubei Camp or the nearby Qinlou Chu Pavilion.
Regardless of the slander, the personal guard had already brought them to the entrance of the camp.
"Commander, Guo Huai and his brothers are here."
Hearing this, a middle-aged man's voice came from there, "Let them in."
After receiving the order, the personal guards sent several people into the tent.
Commander Shan in the tent was tall and thin, wearing only a white tunic and holding a white silk handkerchief in his hand.
And beside him were several beautiful women.
When they saw this situation, several people were dumbfounded.
Is this for work or for fun?
When Commander Shan saw everyone looking at him, he immediately said to Guo Huai, "You're here."
Guo Huai nodded.
Commander Shan then said, "How about coming over for a drink?"
However, Guo Huai shook his head when he heard this.
"Sir, you know that we are all busy getting there as soon as possible. Why don't we drink next time? I'll treat you to another day."
Hearing Guo Huai's words, Commander Shan just responded happily, "You guys are smart, okay, I'll wait for you to return in triumph."
After saying that, Chief Shan directly threw the key to Guo Huai, and he only asked his own soldiers to take them there.
Seeing such haste, Guo Huai couldn't help but ask, "General Shan, should we just leave like this?"
Commander Shan only nodded lightly when he heard this, "Of course it is, otherwise do you still want me to go there in person?"
After listening to Shan Zongbing's words, Guo Huai immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, we are just asking out of curiosity."
Commander Shan ignored them when he heard this, and the personal guards finally led them over.
It was just that they had just arrived at the weapons depot, and they were still worried. They didn't expect that the guards at the weapons depot were looser than the guards at the door.
Seeing that it was the personal guards coming, they didn't even ask. In the end, the personal guards said, "My lord said that artillery is coming out. You hurry up and prepare."
After hearing the orders of the personal guards, those people were really very
I quickly went to open the door...
In less than a moment, the door was opened, and then those few people entered the weapons warehouse of Heixiu. In the weapons warehouse, there were many advanced weapons that could only be seen in the state capital. Therefore, Although Leiyang City is a county town, its weapons and equipment are almost comparable to those of the state capital. Therefore, there is also a saying circulated by bandits that if you fail to rob your family in Leiyang City, you will be a living person in the morning and a ghost in the evening.
Soon the two guards guarding the arsenal pushed out a large-caliber artillery barrel. Everyone looked at the artillery and thought it was extremely exquisite.
And when they thought about this expedition, they felt even more happy. In less than a moment, the artillery was pushed out directly by them.
At the moment, they just thought they didn't have enough manpower. Fortunately, the guard only called a few more soldiers to come over, so a few people pushed the cannon and reluctantly came out.
When they arrived outside the armed camp, these people had naturally prepared a large cart and small minions, so it was not too difficult at the moment. I saw a few people carrying artillery onto the large cart while hesitating.
At the same time, a group of dark horses was running towards the Armed Forces Camp from outside the city.
Then the middle-aged man at the head suddenly slowed down his marching speed. Then he turned over and dismounted, looked at a guard who was watching coldly and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you moving our artillery out?"
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the guard only replied in a low voice, "It's what Commander Shan meant."
"You will just do as Commander Shan said. The Soul King's Rebellion was only a short time ago, and you have already started to cause chaos like this. If there is another rebellion similar to the Soul King's Rebellion, what will you do if you don't have artillery? Are you fighting naked? Or do you want to abandon your armor and run away quickly? But who will take care of the old parents, wives and children in your city?" The middle-aged man scolded loudly, but at the same time he did not allow this group of people to continue to throw things away. Move away.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the guard had no choice but to introduce to Guo Huai, "It's really unlucky to meet this man today. Why don't you come back to get the artillery in a few days?"
Guo Huai naturally saw that the man was not easy to deal with, so he asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
Hearing Guo Huai's words, the man could only say softly, "Who else could it be? Isn't it a descendant of County Magistrate Chen's family?"
After hearing this, Guo Huai understood that this County Magistrate Chen was the one who defended the old city of Leiyang without retreating and did not wait for reinforcements, which ultimately led to the destruction of the city and the death of people.
Naturally, they didn't say anything else at the moment.
I just had to leave.
However, although the artillery was not progressing smoothly, other things were progressing very smoothly.
Sure enough, money can make a fool of himself. They quickly recruited people at the price of two taels of silver. However, they had no firepower to suppress them, so they had to wait for now.
Fortunately, General Manager Chen could not stay in the camp forever, so a few days later, they chose a day when General Manager Chen was not around and asked Guo Huai to make another trip. After that, they quickly They got artillery.
Now the artillery and personnel are ready. Naturally, the group of them was also preparing to head to Yanle Lake. However, because there was no explosives, they could only prepare some more arrows for setting fire. Then with these things, they led the people to Yanle Lake.
The guide waited for these people at his home for many days but did not see them show up, so he thought that these people would not come. In addition, he just moved his house out of the village near Yanle Lake a few days ago.
At this time, he was busy cleaning up the houses in the town, but on the other hand, he also asked the nearby neighbors to leave a message for them. If they came over, he would bother the neighbors to tell them where he lives now.
However, the neighbor had long heard him boast about the treasures in Yanle Lake, and he had bought a house in the town, which made the people in the village even more envious of him.
Therefore, the neighbor only said that he was kind to his request. However, when the person left, after seeing those people coming, the good neighbor immediately said that he had left, and no one knew that they had gone. Then the neighbor turned around and promoted himself, saying that he had grown up nearby and was as familiar with Yanle Lake as his own vegetable garden.
Everyone thought that this person was from the neighborhood after all, so he shouldn't be too outrageous, so they agreed to bring this person with them.
They were guided, and their current strategy was just to coax all the barbarians in Yanle Lake into their carefully set artillery circle.
Therefore, for this reason, they only deliberately covered up the artillery with a large number of metasequoia trees.
Not wanting to be disadvantaged when they first set out, they fell into the pits dug by the indigenous people one by one before they even attracted the attention of the nearby indigenous people.
Seeing a brother falling into the trap of more than a dozen people in an instant, Luo Jingcheng couldn't help but said to the cheating guide, "What did you do? Are you going to lead the way? I've already cheated more than a dozen brothers by this time, and what's the point?" We have injured so many brothers here without fighting with others, can you do it?"
Faced with Luo Jingcheng's doubts and the fact that he had indeed led them into the sewer, the guide hardly dared to refute a word.
"Sorry, I haven't been here for a long time, so I don't remember much. How about we go somewhere else?"
As soon as they heard this, everyone had a premonition that they were being cheated. However, they were already in a dilemma, and it would obviously be too costly to replace them again.
Therefore, because they were unwilling to bear the sunk cost, this group of people could only continue to wander around with the guide. After that, they didn't know how long they wandered, and the guide suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I seem to have been ambushed."
When everyone saw that he didn't fall, and didn't seem to be making any movement, just standing still, they couldn't help but ask, "What kind of ambush did you get? Why didn't we see it?"
"That's right."
Hearing this, some people even couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
