"My general said that he is waiting at the top of the city for Han Tong, the great Ming king of the White Lotus Sect, to send the Holy Mother of the White Lotus down to earth to be my general's concubine!"
The soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion learned it so vividly that they even laughed out loud after Jia Cong's words.
The officials, military generals, and civilians who followed closely behind started shouting, which instantly made the White Lotus Sect bandits under Yanzhou City red-eyed.
Wanting to use such crude words to motivate myself, the Jia family's son underestimated his Xiao Ming Wang Han Tong...
Han Tong sneered. He was about to say something in response to Jia Cong's naivety, but his train of thought was interrupted.
"What happened, Prince Ming..."
The middle-aged scribe beside him suddenly pointed at the troops on the left and right, with a look of horror on his face: "The troops on the left and right disobeyed the military orders and went to Yanzhou City to kill."
Han Tong looked in the direction of the middle-aged scribe's finger. If it was as he said, the originally neat formation had already rushed southward like a tide. The men and horses of each team were completely out of control. Leaders of all sizes were shouting and angry. He cursed and wanted to stop him, but the people under his command didn't listen to the order at all. Instead, he threw the leader who was blocking him off his horse.
"Can't stop it anymore, beat the drum and attack!"
Han Tong was still rational, knowing that he could no longer stop the attack, so he could only order the large troops to follow.
It would be great if we could capture Yanzhou City in one go, but if the first attack failed...
Dong dong dong dong...
The war drums were beating loudly below the city, but Jia Cong at the top of the city did not show any panic. Instead, he looked mockingly at the crowd of people coming from the city, pulled out the Yanling sword from his waist, and shouted: "Beat the drums to cheer up, and you will make great achievements." Today, I will behead one level and be rewarded with five taels of silver. I will behead the thieves and be promoted to three levels. Soldiers, follow me and kill!"
Lu Xiaozu did not expect that the battle would start so soon. He thought that the White Lotus Sect had traveled a long distance and had to rest for a day.
He couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "General Jia, why bother provoking that thief? Just delay him if you can!"
But they saw Jia Shiyi commanding his soldiers to guard Jia Cong again and again, while pushing Lu Xiaozu and other civil servants to a safe position in the tower.
"Fighting requires courage. One burst of energy will be exhausted again, and three times it will be exhausted. I will be exhausted, so I can overcome it. Our army is waiting for work, and the thieves have traveled long distances. As long as our army withstands the first round of attacks, the thieves' military morale will dissipate. Thirty percent."
Lu Xiaozu knew almost nothing about the military formation. Before he could turn around, he saw Jia Cong walking towards him with a confident face and giving an order to Jia Shiyi: "Jia Shiyi obeys the order..."
Jia Shiyi immediately raised his hands and obeyed the order: "The general is here!"
"This general orders you to lead eight hundred cavalry, come out from the west gate and charge into the formation!"
"No sir, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. The best thing to do is to stand firm and wait for help..."
Lu Xiaozu looked at Jia Cong in fear, trying to persuade Jia Cong to take back this seemingly absurd order.
But Jia Shiyi did not hesitate to draw his sword and hit the armor on his chest, and responded loudly: "The last general takes command!"
Jia Cong nodded and warned again: "But you still remember the second brother's fighting method, intersperse, intersperse, intersect again! If the combat power is reduced by 30%, he will immediately wait for an opportunity to turn around."
"The general will save you, so don't worry, general!"
After saying that, Jia Shiyi headed towards the city in a majestic manner.
Lu Xiaozu watched Jia Shiyi leave and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, eight hundred versus ten thousand, isn't General XI going to die? Wouldn't it be safer for our army to use the fortified city to hold on?"
"Offensive is the best defense. We only have more than 3,000 soldiers who can fight, but there are nearly 15,000 thieves under the city. The enemy attacks the city with force, and no matter how strong the city is, it is possible to lose it. The only way is to attack, and keep attacking. , Only in this way can the enemy's military morale be weakened step by step, so that they dare not attack the city with all their strength, and only then can the pressure on the city head be relieved."
Jia Cong's face became calmer and calmer as he listened to the sound of war drums in his ears.
He said to Lu Xiaozu: "I will leave the logistics to Mr. Lu. The hot meat soup cannot be cut off at the top of the city. From now on, military law will be implemented in the city. People in the city are not allowed to go out unless there are special circumstances. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" "
"Drum Corps, prepare to attack from a distance!"
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong…
The suddenly accelerated sound of the war drums made the atmosphere at the top of the city even more solemn. Jia Cong waved his hand for Lu Xiaozu and other civil servants to go down, then turned around and returned to the battlements, looking solemnly at the bottom of the city...
As the crowd surged in, the ordering soldiers kept calculating the distance: "Five hundred steps... four hundred and fifty steps... four hundred steps... fire!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The huge roar was deafening, seven tongues of fire spewed out from the city, and the rising smoke was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
The seven projectiles flew over the moat, skipping over the thieves rushing at the front, and hit them hard at a quarter of the thieves' chaotic formation. They took away dozens or hundreds of thieves in an instant, and bounced off after hitting the ground. Get up and smash it down again...
"Two hundred steps...one hundred and fifty steps, archers, attack!"
The advantages of the regular army are extremely obvious, and each branch of the army will play its greatest role at the most appropriate time.
Before the enemy could rush to the moat, hundreds of them were taken away by artillery fire and bursts of arrows, which made Han Tong, who was immediately on the march, look cold.
Unexpectedly, after Yanzhou's main army was deceived, the small remaining troops in the city would still have such strong combat power.
Boom boom boom...
The top of the city continued to spurt tongues of flames, and the cannonballs drew bloody traces in the crowd again and again. Han Tong ordered in a cold voice: "Drag our artillery out and give me a fierce counterattack."
"No, Lord Ming, our gunners are not yet proficient in gunnery..."
The middle-aged scribe was about to persuade him, but when he saw Han Tong giving him a cold look, he could only lower his head and retreat.
The artillery pieces of the White Lotus Sect were purchased from pirates at a huge cost. These ship-borne artillery pieces from the West were light and compact, but their range was much closer than the cannons at the head of the government city.
Relying on the cover of the crowd, the White Lotus finally quietly moved the artillery to a distance of 200 steps from the city head, loaded the ammunition in a panic, and fired directly without caring about where it was aimed.
Boom, boom, boom...
The four artillery pieces were fired one after another, and the projectiles flew out in an arc. One hit the top of the city, blowing up a piece of the battlement, splashing bricks and stones, and injuring several officers and soldiers who took advantage of the battlement to throw out arrows.
The remaining three flew towards the people who were setting up a siege ladder under the city wall, killing more than ten people and even smashing a siege ladder.
The leader of the White Lotus Sect who was commanding the artillery kicked down the gunner next to him and couldn't help but curse...
Han Tong also saw the ridiculous performance of his own artillery, and suppressed his anger and continued to order: "Pass this king's order, and whoever takes the lead in attacking the city will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and a protector!"
He then said to the middle-aged scribe: "Sir, go to the left and right armies and let Song Xin and Han Jue resume command of the army as soon as possible. Such a chaotic charge will only sacrifice the lives of the brothers in vain."
It was too messy, too messy, everything was different from what he expected.
The Jia family’s children are really good at calculating!
Jia Cong, who was at the head of the city, had already discovered the artillery hidden in the woods outside the city. It was two hundred steps away, and judging from the sound of the artillery, it should be a small artillery.
"Give the gunner an order. Have you seen the forest on the east side? Let me blast it away!"
Cult monsters sound scary, but in fact they are just that.
How dare you place a small artillery piece with such a small range right under your nose, it's like giving away food.
"Sir, it's a Western ship-borne artillery. Otherwise, I will lead someone to touch it and snatch it back!"
Jia Cong glared at the flag officer of his artillery team, these crazy people...
"Go away, the Ministry of Industry has already copied it. Wipe your saliva clean, let me bombard the woods, and wipe out the White Lotus cult bandits. I will return to the capital and ask you for some courses from the Ministry of Engineering to satisfy your greed!"
The flag officer was so greedy when he heard this that he couldn't wipe his saliva away. He wiped it randomly and ran back with a smile to adjust the shooting angle of the artillery. About half a quarter of an hour later, he saw the artillery on the top of the city pouring into the woods continuously. Cannonballs.
There were heavy artillery at the top of the city, but the power of the small artillery there was comparable, and the flames engulfed the entire forest.
Only then did Han Tong understand that the cannons were different from each other, and the people who operated the cannons were even different.
But at this time, he couldn't care anymore
I feel sorry for the loss of more than 100,000 silver taels in just two moments, because a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the right side of the army, galloping in an awl-shaped formation, heading straight towards the Chinese army's flag.
Among the Jingying cavalry, Yulin is the best, followed by Shenwu.
In order to ensure the safety of Liu Ke and Jia Cong during this trip out of Beijing, the emperor mobilized 1,500 divine cavalry.
Liu Ke took away 700 cavalry and left more than half with Jia Cong.
Led by Jia Shiyi, this group of well-equipped, powerful Shenwu cavalry came out from the east gate and quietly came two hundred paces to the right side of the White Lotus Sect when they suddenly burst out of the woods.
The distance of two hundred steps is only a moment for the cavalry. The faceplates of the cavalry officers were all painted with devilish patterns. After entering the bandits' formation, their black armor was stained with blood, making them look as frightening as demons.
"Holy Mother, help me, there is a ghost!"
The cowards had already dropped their swords in fear and turned around to run away, but how could they outrun the Shenwu Iron Cavalry.
Jia Shiyi's knife slid across, and a thief's head flew high into the sky. The war horse stepped on it. Not even a complete corpse was left on the ground. The flesh and blood mixed with mud and water seeped into the ground. The vegetation here should be more prosperous next year.
"Hold them, stop them, we have magic protection and are invulnerable!"
"The sutra for preserving life and the future, a pillar of incense for the future. Read it from the ten directions and burn it in the five peaks. The true nature shines, and one breath reaches the heaven and the earth. The ancient Buddha descended to the earth, and the Holy Mother sat upright. The Buddhas stood on both sides, and the Bodhisattvas lined up on both sides. Protectors of the Dharma. Come and protect me, my true disciple."
"Blessed by the Holy Mother, blessed by King Ming, I will kill you!"
No matter whether it is the Holy Mother or the Ming King, no matter how many scriptures you recite, there is no invulnerable skill in this world.
The deacons of the White Lotus Sect wearing yellow scarves shout the loudest slogans, rush forward first, and die the fastest.
Jia Shiyi chopped off his head with a single blow, and the hundreds of people who followed him and rushed over were instantly overwhelmed by the cavalry.
An extremely obvious bloodstain appeared in the center of the White Lotus Sect's formation, extending towards Han Tong's central army.
Jia Cong saw this situation from a distance and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Uncle Eleven, cut through it, you must cut through it!"
Sishui passes through Yanzhou Fucheng and flows north for more than ten miles, turning eastward.
The forest here is lush and it is so quiet after the heavy snowfall that not even a bird can be heard.
Hidden somewhere in the forest was an elite cavalry force of a thousand men. The strong man in black armor leading the team was none other than Niuben Qianhu, a member of the imperial army who was guarding the imperial envoy Xu Jin.
A captain took off the note from the carrier pigeon's leg, glanced at it, and came to Niu Ben's side to report: "Master Qianhu, the scouts have come to report. As expected by the imperial envoy, Han Tong bypassed Qufu and raided Yanzhou. Fucheng!"
Niu Ben clicked his tongue in surprise and laughed.
"Wenquxing is Wenquxing, and Mr. Qingteng is really a god! I originally thought that Han Tong would take advantage of Qufu's emptiness to occupy Qufu, but I didn't want him to be stupid and run to Yanzhou City. Yanzhou is not that easy to fight. The pockets laid by Mr. Qingteng The incision will be made soon, but this time Han Tong will be unable to fly!"
The captain asked curiously: "Then we are waiting here? Yanzhou is empty of troops now. What if it is attacked by Han Tong's men?"
Niu Ben laughed loudly and patted the captain on the shoulder: "You, you underestimated our Royal Cat Master. None of the two young masters of Marquis Rong Guo was simple. The second master Lian led the five A hundred men defeated the Japanese pirates and they couldn't even stabilize their formation. Do you think Han Tong's more than 10,000 people could capture the fortified city of Yanzhou?"
"The general is just in case. After all, Master Yumao is still a child..."
"puff……"
Niu Ben glanced at his men in surprise, took a deep breath and said, "How did you get this illusion? Can you call him a child? This young man is very capable, and Mr. Qingteng is very precious to him. Students, we have already made arrangements, so let’s just wait and feel at ease.”
Jia Cong at the top of Yanzhou City didn't know that his husband was fishing with him, and was concentrating on observing the development of the battle.
Just as I thought, the fighting power of the White Lotus cult bandits was more tenacious than imagined. They charged and killed more than ten times in a row. The casualties of the officers and soldiers exceeded 500. Even the civilians died more than 100. The people who entered the city were
The attack continues.
Of course, as the 800 cavalry led by Jia Shiyi penetrated the White Lotus Sect's formation several times, the enemy's attack frequency and military morale obviously dropped a lot. Han Tong even had to move the elite back to the left and right, and the defenses came and went without a trace. The missing Shenwu cavalry.
After two hours of fighting, the moat had long been stained red with blood. The smell of blood in the air made the people in the city close their doors and windows tightly and could not stop it.
Jia Shiyi returned to Jia Cong's side. His armor was full of knife marks and he was exhausted.
"Uncle Eleven, how are you brothers?"
"One hundred and twenty-seven people were killed in the battle, and eighty-five were slightly injured. No serious injuries."
Wherever there are serious injuries, the cavalry charging into the battle will either die in battle or return victorious. The seriously injured brothers will take the initiative to break up and block the swords swung behind them for their comrades.
Jia Cong just nodded calmly and told Jia Shi to get off the city wall and rest. It's a pity that Jia Shiyi sticks to his duties and always stands by Jia Cong's side.
Ding ding ding…
Han Tong outside the city finally couldn't help but gave the order to withdraw his troops.
In two hours, more than a quarter of the men and horses had been killed or injured. If the disorderly siege battle continued, it was estimated that all the men and horses he had managed to pull up would be lost here before Yanzhou City was captured.
Jia Cong waved his hand, and the herald shouted again in a hoarse voice: "Artillery attack, archers, shoot!"
After killing so many of our brothers, can I allow you to retreat safely?
The White Lotus Sect's retreat was still haphazard. Amidst the sound of artillery and the rain of arrows from the city, many of the White Lotus Sect's bandits even trampled down their own people who were running in front of them...
Lu Xiaozu led the civilians to deliver arrows, wood, stones and other objects to the top of the city, quickly walked to Jia Cong's side and looked out of the city.
There were corpses everywhere as far as the eye could see, and the scarlet color replaced the original white snow.
Ugh~
Lu Xiaozu finally held back his vomiting and raised his hands to Jia Cong: "I have something to puzzle you about. How do you know that the gangsters of the White Lotus Sect will lose their minds with just one sentence?"
Ha... Jia Cong looked at the White Lotus cult bandits who had retreated out of the range of artillery and bows and arrows, and sneered: "The success of the White Lotus sect is its teachings, and its failure is its teachings. They built the Holy Mother of the White Lotus into a noble character and extremely graceful. A goddess whose magical power makes people dare not blaspheme. In the hearts of White Lotus Sect members, whoever blasphemes the goddess in their hearts is simply more serious than killing their parents. But I want Han Tong to give their goddess to me as a pawn. Concubine, what do you think will happen to these White Lotus Sect monsters who have been completely brainwashed?"
Jia Cong raised his head and looked at the sky, sighing leisurely: "Belief can make people crazy! People in the world, whether they believe it or not, most respect gods and Buddhas at a distance. Han Tong would never have thought that there is such a shameless official in the world. People who respect gods and Buddhas exist.”
Lu Xiaozu was thoughtful and asked again: "Then what do you believe?"
Jia Cong suddenly burst into laughter and shouted loudly: "I, I believe that man can conquer nature!"
