This is a battle to establish authority. How could Gao Pragmatic allow Huang Gongsheng to play these tricks!
In the battle of Simingzhou, Gao Pragmatic not only wanted to establish authority for himself, but also to establish authority for Huang Zhiting among the Huang clan chieftains. He needed to allow Huang Zhiting to command the entire Huang clan chieftains at the necessary moment, otherwise he would threaten the Annan Mo Dynasty. Is it pragmatic to rely on one's own servants to fight the war?
Putting aside whether he can fight or not, even if he can fight, he can't fight like this, otherwise what will the court think of him?
Oh, you are so pragmatic that you can fight a war to destroy the country just by relying on your own servants, and it is Annan who once caused Ming Dynasty to suffer a lot?
Besides, what should I do if I get beaten down? Give it to my old classmate Zhu Yijun for free?
How could Gao Pragmatic be willing to do such a business that was losing money? What's more, Zhu Yijun may not be willing to ask for it!
You know, Annan was a loser in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. He spent countless money and food, and countless people died. As a result, the Ming Dynasty didn't get a single thing, and the loss went to his grandma's house. Now he is still here ?
Dad Ming, thank you very much.
Therefore, the chieftain must be the main force in attacking Annan, not only the main force, but also in name.
But now the power of the Cen and Huang families is too scattered. It is said that they each have their own masters, but the strength of the two masters has been severely weakened by the imperial court, and their prestige is probably the lowest in hundreds of years. At this time, being pragmatic is still important. If we don't help them, we won't be able to mobilize troops in the future.
Otherwise, Cen Ling only had more than 300 wolf soldiers, why did Gao Pragmatic insist on letting him place the flag here? It's just a platform.
Huang Gongsheng is now like the chicken used to scare the monkeys. No matter what he thinks, Gao Pangshi is already a person whose name is registered on the government.
If you want to blame, just blame yourself for not being lucky.
After Huang Gongsheng got the news, he was stunned, shocked and angry, and cursed in the official hall of Zhizhou Yamen.
However, it is useless to scold him now. He is not Zhuge Liang, and Gao Pragmatic is not Wang Lang. There is no possibility of being scolded to death by him.
So Huang Gongsheng stopped after cursing for a while, and went up to the tower to check the situation in front of the formation with a cold face.
The situation was of course very bad. Ni Zhonghua divided the artillery battalion, which was absolutely huge in Guangxi, into two parts. Each "general"-level heavy artillery was placed at the front and fixed. The shells and ammunition were already placed near the cannon. With the rules and regulations laid out, when the hour Gao Pragmatic left for Huang Gongsheng is up, the "fire of thousands of guns" will begin.
Light artillery such as the Crouching Tiger Artillery are on the second line, all mounted on various two-wheeled vehicles, ready to advance forward to expand the results after the heavy artillery blasts through the city wall - but whether this idea can be successful is very doubtful, because it is highly doubtful. The wolf soldiers at the front have been waiting for a long time. It is estimated that as soon as the city is broken, these guys who don't regard their lives as money will swarm up and enter the city to kill.
These wolf soldiers traveled through mountains and rivers as if they were walking on flat ground, and they ran very fast on the mountains. What is there to say about the straight-line distance in front of them? It was far beyond the comparison of artillery vehicles. By then, the light artillery might not have the opportunity to fire.
Ni Zhonghua was so excited that he looked at the hourglass and the city tower for a while. It didn't look like he was about to fight, but rather like he was about to enter the bridal chamber. Speaking of which, he has been fighting for almost twenty years, and this is the first time he has commanded so many artillery pieces. Can you not be excited?
However, despite being excited, he was still more cautious. He did not move forward to take command - it was not that he was afraid that the other party would go out of the city to cover up the attack. The Huang family's wolf soldiers were responsible for this matter, and it was impossible for the other party's entire army to attack and die, so there was no need to worry about this. .
What he was afraid of was that there were too many weapons placed on the front line. If any of the bastards shook their hands, wouldn't they be blown to pieces? It's not like he was so humble that he wouldn't be afraid of being smashed to pieces by his own soldiers. That would be impossible.
The face of Saint Huang Gong on the tower was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.
Hundreds of general cannons!
Gao pragmatic, this street boy, you don’t even know how poor Guangxi is? You are just attacking Simingzhou, do you want to wipe out all the inventory in Guangxi to be happy?
You really look up to me!
"Second Young Master, this is not good. If there is only that girl Huang Zhiting, it is not impossible for our two thousand soldiers and horses to defend Mingjiang City, but these hundreds of general cannons... Even if they are fired randomly, the city gates and walls will be destroyed. If we can’t withstand it, then the opponent will have more than 10,000 troops on foot and on horseback. No matter how hard we fight, we will still be beaten to death by them.”
"Lu Youren, if you have something to say, just say it, and don't play the Han people's trick of beating around the bush." Huang Gongsheng was in a very bad mood now, and he didn't speak politely.
Lu Youren was the Tumu who guarded the gate that day. His family was a hereditary Tumu in Siming Prefecture. He was also a big Tumu family in southern Guangxi below the chieftain. His family not only worked for Siming Prefecture, but also in Siming Prefecture and even other Huang Dynasties. There are clansmen among all the clan chieftains.
"Second Young Master, we can't fight against the imperial army now. I think we might as well lead the army to break out first. No matter where we go, we can avoid the sharp edge of the imperial army first, and then try to prosper."
He was not angry after hearing Huang Gongsheng's words. He just touched his arms as if he wanted to take something. He first suggested avoiding sharp edges, and then said: "The second young master doesn't know something. Three years ago, Jiangcheng was mingled." When Sakon was repairing the road, he happened to be in charge of his humble job. Knowing that there was a place where an ambush was just about to be set up, we might as well break out. The officers and soldiers would send troops to chase them when the time came. The second young master could set up an ambush on the spot, beat the officers and soldiers hard, and then lead the army to move. I can save my strength for the future."
Huang Gongsheng originally saw him groping in his arms, with his eyes fixed on his hand. Unexpectedly, he fumbled for a while and pulled out a piece of paper that looked like a map.
Huang Gongsheng was slightly startled: "What is this?"
"This is a map around Mingjiang City." Lu Youren sighed: "The second young master knows the roads near Mingjiang City very well, but this trail is not a proper road. It was traveled by a few hunters in the mountains. No one usually goes there. , I wouldn’t have been able to find it if I hadn’t looked around while repairing the road... I just took the time to draw this picture temporarily, Second Young Master, please take a look."
Huang Gongsheng did not look at it immediately, but waited for Lu Youren to spread the piece of paper completely on the arrow stack of the city tower and found that there was nothing suspicious, then he went over to take a closer look.
Even so, he kept paying attention to Lu Youren from the corner of his eye. Unexpectedly, Lu Youren seemed to have no idea and came over to look at the map. While looking at it, he pointed at the map and said: "Second Young Master, please look, we can go out through the west gate. Then turn to the southwest, fight out from the junction of the west and south armies, and then turn to the south and enter the mountains... This path is in the mountains, with a small canyon in the middle, which is an excellent place to set up an ambush. place."
Huang Gongsheng saw that although his painting was newly painted, and the ink even contained the fragrance of ink, it was quite detailed. Comparing it with the road that Huang Gongsheng knew in his heart, he knew that it was definitely not a random painting. I couldn't help but secretly think: Although this guy was forced to surrender to me, he now knows that there is no other way to go except following me. It seems that this path should be real.
"In this case, without further delay, I will prepare troops immediately. In addition to my master's 500 headquarters, you can also select elite troops. We will leave 500 troops to guard the city and gather 1,500 elite troops to fight out of the city. We will definitely To find a way out, go to the canyon trail you mentioned to set up an ambush..."
Before Huang Gongsheng could finish speaking, there was a sudden pain in his back. His eyes widened and he screamed. He turned around and saw two soldiers behind him holding short knives. One of them had blood on the knife. It was the person who stabbed him just now.
The other person didn't hesitate and immediately stepped forward and stabbed him in the chest again!
Huang Gongsheng reached out to grab the hand of the soldier, but the first soldier slashed him with a knife. He could only stop and retreat.
But at this moment, he was stabbed deeply in the back, and his back seemed to be injured. The slightest movement caused a bone-piercing pain, and he couldn't straighten up at all. After retreating, he couldn't straighten up anymore, and fell to the sky.
"My master has treated you well, why did you two betray me?"
Although the first soldier was merciless, he couldn't help but feel a little sad at this moment. However, after just a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Second Young Master, I'm sorry, but my surname is Lu."
