Chapter 417 Take down Xuducheng

The soldiers of Zhentian Camp immediately used mops to clean the cannon chamber, and then began to load ammunition after cooling slightly.

This process is very slow, almost five minutes. If you want to be fast, you need to find another way to cool the barrel.

About a quarter of an hour later, a white flag was raised on the top of the city, which was a signal of surrender.

Gao Shun waved his hand and ordered the stop of the shelling, but did not relax his vigilance.

After a while, the Rangers came and reported: "General, Cao's soldiers escaped from the South Gate. There were a large number of them, about 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry."

"knew."

Gao Shun immediately transferred the camp and the 10,000 Iron Horse Army to pursue. However, the Iron Horse Army had a problem, that is, they could not ride iron horses during wars, and in this case, they would run to pursue them.

At the East City Gate, the situation must be straightforward.

The general's cannon blasted the first gate of the city, and white flags were erected in the city.

It was Wang Lang who ran out.

"Wen Hou, don't fire."

"Wang Situ, what's the point? Is Cao Cao no longer fighting?"

"Mr. Wen doesn't know anything. Cao Cao pretended to be a wealthy family a few days ago and took Emperor Xian away. The main force had just retreated. Now there are only more than 20,000 branches of various wealthy families in the city. Everyone recommends me to welcome Mr. Wen into the city."

If we say that Wang Lang's hometown is from Langya, the Wang family of Langya is an absolute wealthy family, and has experienced hundreds of years of rise and fall.

Although it seems a little bored, Lu Bu has a good impression of Wang Lang. It is also considered to be a contribution to the country to save the ancient city from war.

Lu Bu thought for a moment: "Wang Situ first rested in the camp, and I will lead my troops to eliminate the thieves for the country."

Lu Bu led 10,000 Xuzhou cavalry and chased south.

Xu Shu rested in Wang Lang for a while in the camp.

After a while, Lu Bu didn't come back, and Xu Shu was busy. There was only one clerk with Wang Lang and the others.

It was noon, and Wang Lang was hungry too.

The clerk asked: "My Lord Wang, how many people can you avoid the price?"

Wang Langxin said, what delicious food can be found in the military camp?

"Don't avoid food, just eat something casually."

After a while, the soldiers brought four dishes and four bowls of noodles.

Stir-fried radish with bacon, stewed potatoes with horse meat, shredded peppers with kelp, and stir-fried tofu skin.

The noodles turned out to be white noodles, and they looked delicious.

Wang Lang and the three followers were very happy, Xu Jun was very particular, and he was very good at treating guests.

After eating, Wang Lang called the documents outside over.

"What do the soldiers of Xuzhou Army usually eat?"

"Sir, the one I just sent was obtained from the Fire Head Army."

Wang Lang was quite happy just now, but now he is very angry. He is a Situ and a senior official of the court. He actually eats the same food as the big head soldiers.

The clerk also saw it and immediately said, "The conditions in the army are difficult, and even my lord has the same food as the soldiers."

A follower of Wang Lang smiled and said, "I don't believe it anymore. Ordinary soldiers can eat so well. Can we take a look at the food of ordinary soldiers?"

"Please, please."

There are not so good conditions for fighting in the army. The Huo Tou military uses a large pot of stew. The soldiers are eating there with enamel rice jars.

There are still leftovers in the four pots of vegetables, including bacon, radish, horse meat, potatoes, kelp shreds, and tofu skin. However, the soldiers are not so delicate, and they eat voraciously.

Only bacon is brought, and as for horse meat, it is a war horse that died in battle.

It is rare to find supplies on the battlefield, so naturally I will not let go of such good meat. However, horse meat is hot and can easily get angry after eating it.

Two hours later, the Xuzhou Iron Cavalry returned, stained iron armor with blood and annihilated more than 3,000 enemies.

The team behind Cao Cao's palace was considered to be disabled.

Wang Situ went up to him with a heavy face: "Wen Hou is back."

"Well, I'm back, Cao Zhe ran too fast and didn't catch up. Wang Situ went back to prepare and invited the big family in the city to come outside the city to watch the Xuzhou military exercises."

"This." Wang Lang hesitated a little, and he naturally understood what Lu Bu meant.

Xu Shu said: "Wang Situ doesn't need to think too much, just show off our Xuzhou army's artillery to let everyone know more about this new weapon."

"good."

Wang Lang had no way out, and Cao Cao abandoned Wang Lang before leaving. Now Wang Lang is the representative of the big clan in the city, and they want to follow Lu Bu.

What tax rates and strategies should Lu Bu determine, or unknown numbers.

Lu Bu was not in a hurry to enter the city. Now Cao Cao has escaped. Lu Bu's purpose is to seal all four gates and occupy the city walls, and install the crossbows in place.

The city was orderly and there was no major turmoil.

So Lu Bu was not in a hurry to enter the city.

The next morning, Wang Lang came with more than a hundred representatives of the aristocratic families.

Some are in their thirties and forties, while others are in their twenties and seventies.

Lu Bu warmly received the ceremony and arranged for everyone to watch.

The shooting range was selected on a river beach in the east of the city, and one hundred general artillery had already been arranged in place.

Lu Bu, Xu Shu, Lu Su, Wang Lang and others accompanied everyone to watch.

The artillery is dozens of feet away from the viewing platform.

The artillery was ready and asked with flags.

Lu Bu arranged for everyone: "Everyone blocks his ears and opens his mouth."

Some people did as they did, while others didn't care. They were dozens of feet away and they were hitting the river beach, so what were they afraid of?

The order was issued, and the gunner ignites in turn.

To enhance the viewing effect, each cannon has a three-second ignition drop.

Boom boom boom, the cannon makes a shocking sound.

Those who didn't block their ears suddenly felt that their ears were useless, as if ten thousand cicadas had entered.

The shells flew in the air for about three miles, landed on the river beach, and raised up thick smoke and fire.

Everyone's head hurts when they see it. They sent Cao Cao away a wolf and welcomed Lu Bu and a tiger.

Why is life crying?

The Xuzhou army did not all enter the city, and the main force is still stationed outside the city.

Lu Bu and Gao Shun led 10,000 Xuzhou iron cavalry and 20,000 iron horses into the city.

It shocked the people of Xu Du. The iron cavalry was too powerful, and the only one that could match it was the tiger and leopard cavalry.

As for the Iron Horse Army, it is even more exaggerated. People can ride on two wheels without falling down, and they can almost run at a speed.

The first thing to do when entering the city is patrol.

The cavalry divided into hundreds of patrols, and alleys of Xu Ducheng were settled.

Anyone who has a chaotic army or a thug will be severely punished. Basically, it will be either a whip or a quarry.

The second thing is to open a warehouse and release grain.

Cao Cao's personality naturally would not leave anything good for Lu Bu, but he couldn't resist Lu Bu's jealousy and secretly exchanged millions of kilograms of grain in the warehouse.

With a command, release the food.

Four porridge dishes are set up outside the gates of each city gate of Xudu City. As long as you are willing to drink it, no matter whether you are poor or rich, you can drink it casually. Each porridge is served with several pots of porridge.

However, only the poor are drinking, and the rich are more particular. Who knows if this big pot has been made of golden soup?

The people in the city, no matter the rich or poor, as long as you are willing to line up, each household will be given 200 kilograms of food.

There are only more than 100,000 people in the city and 50,000 households. Except for more than 10,000 households who are slightly rich and more than 20,000 medium-sized households, only 20,000 households who have difficulty in fostering food. They can't pay much food, but winning the hearts of the people will be immediate.
