"The imperial troops have arrived." Pan Yi said calmly, as if he was not an enemy.
Zhang Hong raised the monocular telescope in his hand again and looked in the direction Pan Yi was looking.
Through a monocular.
Figures were moving on the road in the distance, and large banners were flying above the densely packed figures.
"Get ready to fight!" Zhang Hong told Pan Yi next to him.
At this time, the guards on the city wall were the war barracks where Pan Yi was located.
Pan Yi solemnly said: "Master, don't worry. As long as your subordinates are still there, the imperial troops will not be able to capture Xinping Fort."
Zhang Hong nodded, turned around and walked down the city.
As the supreme commander of the Tiger-Character Banner staying at Xinpingbao, he would not stay on top of the city to face the incoming imperial army, and there was no serious need for him to personally defend the city.
Moreover, with the arrival of the imperial army, he needed to arrange several other military battalions and baggage battalions to participate in the battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of war drums sounded over Xinping Fort, and a team of well-equipped soldiers began to rush towards the city wall.
On the walls on both sides of the city, cannons were pushed into combat positions. The gunners on the side inspected the cannons and began to load gunpowder.
Not long after the time passed, the tiger flag soldiers in Xinpingbao City, led by their captain, were ready to face the enemy.
About half the time of burning incense has passed.
The two imperial armies finally met two miles away from Xinping Fort.
Wang Bao took a group of soldiers and took the initiative to leave his camp and came to the Datong Army Camp where Yang Guozhu was located.
At this time, Yang Guozhu was also riding a horse and standing in front of the formation, surrounded by his own soldiers.
"Commander Wang is here." Xue Mu reminded in a low voice.
Yang Guozhu turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves, and saw a group of cavalry approaching in his direction, led by a general wearing silver armor.
Soon, the silver-armored general came to Yang Guozhu.
"General Soldier Yang." Wang Bao approached, hugged Yang Guozhu on horseback, and immediately asked, "The soldiers and horses you and I brought have arrived outside Xinpingbao City. What are General Soldier Yang's plans next?"
Yang Guozhu took out a monocular telescope from his arms and looked towards Xinping Fort.
"Hey!" Wang Bao noticed the monocular telescope in Yang Guozhu's hand and said with envy, "I didn't expect Mr. Yang to have such a good thing."
Yang Guozhu looked away from the monocular telescope and said to Wang Bao: "Although I don't like the tiger flag, some of the things they built are still very useful. Like the telescope in my hand, you can see Things that are several miles away, with it, you can predict the enemy's opportunities on the battlefield."
"I have also heard of this telescope, but unfortunately it costs a hundred taels of silver, and the quantity is scarce. You may not be able to buy it even if you have money." Wang Bao said with a smile.
Although telescopes are good, he does not believe that they are indispensable for marching and fighting.
When there was no telescope in the past, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court continued to fight as usual, so he knew that there was a telescope, but he never thought of spending money to buy it.
"Take a look too!" Yang Guozhu handed the monocular telescope to Wang Bao.
Wang Bao took it in his hand and looked into the distance.
The cannons on the top of Xinpingbao City clearly appeared in his field of vision.
"This, this, this is too clear." Wang Bao said in surprise.
When he used a monocular telescope for the first time, he realized that the telescope in his hand was very unusual. He could clearly see Xinpingbao several miles away.
Yang Guozhu said: "General Wang must have seen the cannons on the top of Xinpingbao!"
"I see, there are more than twenty cannons." Wang Bao clearly saw the cannons on the top of Xinpingbao through the monocular telescope, and he could count them clearly.
Yang Guozhu said: "I brought twelve general cannons from the general's camp and pushed them to the front of the formation. If the bandits in the city are unwilling to surrender, these twelve generals' cannons will knock down the walls of Xinping Fort. Then you and I Send a force each to rush into the city and completely wipe out this group of bandits in the city."
"No problem, just follow General Yang's wishes." Wang Bao nodded, put down the monocular telescope in front of him, and gave it back to Yang Guozhu.
Yang Guozhu took the monocular and turned to Xue Mu, who was beside him, and said, "Mr.
"Students, please obey the general's order." Xue Mu bowed his hand.
A group of soldiers beside Yang Guozhu escorted Xue Mu to Xinping Fort.
"In fact, there is no need to go to such trouble to persuade us to surrender. Our two armies combined have nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and a mere border fortress can be easily destroyed." Wang Bao said to Yang Guozhu.
Yang Guozhu said: "The imperial court's purpose is to completely wipe out the Tiger Flag. Xinpingbao is just a bandit of the Tiger Flag. Now the Tiger Flag is based on the grassland. We don't need to lose too many troops here in Xinpingbao." horse."
When Wang Bao heard this, he realized that Yang Guozhu had set his sights on the grassland.
Yang Guozhu raised the monocular in his hand and paid attention to the situation at Xue Mu's place.
Xue Mu, who came to Xinpingbao City, looked up at the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Listen to the gangsters in the city, let your people in charge come out and speak."
After a short time, half of a face appeared from the crenellations on the top of the city, and he shouted to the people below: "You are an officer and I am a bandit. Now the battle between the two armies is about to begin. We have nothing to say. If you have the ability, just send your horses to attack the city." "
"Since you already know that the heavenly soldiers are coming, why don't you quickly open the city gate and surrender?" Xue Mu shouted loudly, "God is kind to you. If you lead the bandits in the city to open the city gate and surrender, my general may be able to spare you. One life.”
Pan Yi, who was hiding behind the crenel, replied: "Stop talking nonsense. Stop trying to persuade us to surrender. Go back and tell Yang Guozhu and Wang Bao that I will be waiting for them at Xinping Fort."
"The Heavenly Soldiers have arrived. Do you really think that these gangsters in your city can defend Xinping Fort?" Xue Mu shouted, "Liu Heng is in the grassland, but he sent you to Xinping Fort. He is asking you to die, so why bother? For someone who doesn't care about your life, you become an enemy of the imperial court. As long as you are willing to open the city and surrender, my general can take you under his command. Then you will be an official of the imperial court and honor your ancestors. Wouldn't it be better than being a precarious bandit?"
Pan Yi shouted to the people below the city: "Stop talking nonsense. If you have the ability, come and attack the city. You want me to surrender and realize your spring and autumn dream."
Immediately, he said to the gunman on the side: "Give them a gun and drive them away."
In order to guard against the bows and arrows on the city, Xue Mu and others had been staying a hundred steps away from Xinping Fort.
At such a long distance, even if you hit a low target from high, it would take a sharpshooter to hit it.
As for the fire cannon, its effective range is within a hundred steps. Coupled with the problem of accuracy, it is almost impossible to hit an enemy a hundred steps away.
