Under the scorching gazes of everyone, He Wuji cleared his throat and announced with infinite regret: "Brothers, Sima Shangzhi and Sima Xiu's madmen have now captured Jingkou. General Liu Laozhi is outnumbered, and now he is alive or dead.
unknown."
"Their next step is definitely to attack Jiankang City!"
"This madman has been coveting the throne for a long time. He is dissatisfied with your majesty and the king. The king has known about these things for a long time. He just didn't want to hurt his harmony, so he kept it secret. Now, since the two of them are unjust, what should we do?"
"Brothers, now, Sima Shangzhi has taken over our home base and threatened Jiankang, which is our home!"
"He actually wanted to destroy it!"
"what should we do?"
Home?
right!
It's home!
Most of the people present are soldiers from Jingkou and Jiankang, and there are even a small number of people who were originally from Yangzhou.
These people have a deep affection for their hometown, and they would hate to see their well-built homes being destroyed, and they would hate to hear this.
"General He, what are you waiting for?"
"My Beifu soldiers are loyal to the imperial court. Sima Shangzhi dares to insult Beifu and threaten His Majesty and the Queen Mother. How can we sit idly by?"
"Brothers, we want to go home!"
"right!"
"We must fight back in an upright manner, drive away the villains, and take back Jingkou!"
Under He Wuji's call, the soldiers under the tower instantly became excited, shouting various slogans loudly.
Even without the leadership of Lao He, the shouting was very uniform, almost uniform.
This shows that the soldiers have the same mind.
They think in one place and exert their energy in one place.
"good!"
"Since the brothers all agree, then hurry up and organize the team. We will set off immediately to Jiankang!"
He Wuji had long wanted to do this, but he needed to obtain the consent of the generals and fully mobilize their enthusiasm.
Although as a general, the soldiers would obey whatever he said, but now they were still too far away from Jiankang. If they still used the original marching speed, I am afraid the safety of the Queen Mother would not be guaranteed.
Jiankang City might have been occupied by Sima Shangzhi's brothers!
How does this work?
For Beifu soldiers, what are the brothers most afraid of?
My hometown was stolen!
The brothers fought tooth and nail and even went to Qinzhou and other important places, just to be able to support their families at the rear.
But what is happening now?
We are fighting bloody battles at the front, but you tell us that those losers from the Sima family actually took advantage of the situation and invaded Jiankang City?
As long as the soldiers are told the news, He Wuji does not need to do any further mobilization. All the soldiers here have already transformed into his soldiers.
Each of them looked fierce and sharpened their knives. Although they were still thousands of miles away, they seemed to be able to smell the bloody smell of Jiankang City!
Brother Sima!
The Beifu soldiers are at odds with you!
Dare to block my way home? Just wait to die!
For a group of homesick soldiers, it might not be a big deal for Sima Shangzhi to disturb Her Majesty the Queen Mother and attempt to usurp the throne.
As little soldiers, they don't care about such important court matters. It seems that even if they care, they can't do anything.
However, due to the wanton behavior of Sima Shangzhi's brother, Jingkou and Jiankang were at war, causing war and causing countless casualties.
That is their sin!
Brother Sima is guilty!
The first one is to block the Beifu brothers from returning home. Originally, the brothers were still holding a hot cupping pot, imagining that Jiankang City was still peaceful, and the Sima brothers did not attack the capital at all.
The brothers returning to Jiankang at this time can be regarded as a bargain and can rest for a while. Maybe they won't need to go on an expedition for a long time in the future.
Maybe you can wait until you are discharged from the army and return home!
However, now, the dream is broken!
It's all because of Sima Shang's brothers, these two blind things!
The second crime is even more heinous.
Because Sima Shangzhi's brothers launched a military offensive, the people of Jingkou and Jiankang who originally lived an honest and responsible life were once again involved in the flames of war, and were threatened physically and mentally.
You must know that Jiankang City has reached its best condition so far. The peace has lasted for a long time, and the people have finally lived a comfortable life for a few days, but they did not expect to encounter such a bad thing again.
How can it not make people filled with righteous indignation?
Thinking that their relatives, friends, and fellow villagers would be massacred by the Sima brothers again, the brothers of the Beifu soldiers could no longer sit still.
What are you waiting for?
We have only one goal, and that is to drive the Sima brothers out of Jiankang!
Kill them all!
To be honest, what the Sima brothers have done over the years has puzzled the people under the Jin Dynasty.
Whether it is Jiankang City or Jingkou City, they are all the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and the people here are also the people of the Jin Dynasty.
Who did the Jin Dynasty belong to?
There is no doubt that it is the Sima family.
Since it is the land of your Sima family, who would be so deliberate and without any scruples, just go to war?
When competing for interests, they completely ignore the people within their borders, their life and death, and their lives.
In this way, they always think that everyone else owes them, and they should sit on this throne, otherwise no one will have a good time!
Harming oneself, not everyone can reach this state, and not everyone can do it. Therefore, the people of the Sima family are no longer within the reach of ordinary people, they are already in another state!
Reach the state of transformation.
To put it bluntly, you would rather harm yourself than harm others. Aren’t you, Wang Mi, proud? You have been made the king of Langya, and you have taken advantage of everything.
Who are you?
Without the world conquered by our Sima family, where would you, the children of aristocratic families, go to suck blood? Where would you go to drink soup?
We don’t have enough capabilities. You don’t need to tell us this. We also know it, but so what?
As long as we can make you Wang Mi unlucky, as long as we can make you unhappy, we will have achieved our goal and we will be happy!
For this moment, we don’t care about dead people or disasters, we just charge and watch!
In Jiangzhou City, He Wuji stood on the city tower and responded to every call.
Although the soldiers of Beifu had not received sufficient rest and their legs and feet had not rested, yet, they still mounted their horses, picked up their weapons, and ran out like little leopards!
Xiang Jiankang!
Capture the thief king!
…………
Capture the thief king!
Where is the King of Thieves?
When the Beifu soldiers were galloping towards Jiankang City, almost in the same time and space, Sima Shang's brother hardly moved at the same place.
They neither moved forward nor retreated. They stayed in the place already occupied by them, motionless.
Amazing, right?
Ridiculous, right?
"Brother, is it appropriate for us to write like this?"
"What will we do if those Beifu soldiers refuse to follow us to counterattack Jiankang?"
Jingkou, Beifu Daying.
A large courtyard with three entrances is decorated in a simple and elegant style. Although it cannot be called gorgeous, it is dignified and open-minded.
Especially in front of the yard, there is a large exclusive playground in front of the gate, which is prepared for daily training and assembly of Beifu soldiers.
As long as people see this large playground and the swords, guns, swords, halberds, muskets and artillery placed around it, people can immediately know where this yard belongs.
Who owns it, what is their position, and what they do for a living.
That’s right!
Such a regular and spacious courtyard belongs to Beifu General Liu Laozhi.
However, now, unfortunately, General Liu has to give in.
What is a handicap?
how?
Can the brothers of Sima Shang be called "virtuous"? Since people cannot be called virtuous, then giving them the house that can only be used by the master and general cannot be called virtuous.
What's more, if it's not a concession, it's obviously a robbery!
Sima Shangzhi was satisfied with his ambition. Things were going much smoother than he imagined. Now he only needed to lead the troops and go straight to Jiankang to realize his dream. Things were going too smoothly and he was not used to it yet.
"If you write it like this, will he still dare to disobey it when the time comes?"
"As for those soldiers from the Beifu, don't worry about them. We will naturally welcome those who are willing to follow us south. Those who are unwilling to follow will be killed on the day of the expedition."
"Leave no one behind!"
"Okay, brother, that's exactly what I meant." Sima Xiuzhi drank a few glasses of wine happily and looked up, but he heard several loud rumbling sounds outside the playground and on Jingkou Street.
Suddenly the flames burst into flames!
"These people still refuse to accept it!"
"Someone is coming!"
"Follow the sound and look for it. Get rid of all these people! Firearms confiscated!"
As soon as Sima Xiuzhi finished speaking, a small group of soldiers strode out from the camp at the rear, following the fading firelight and ran over.
It has been about five days since the brothers captured Jingkou, and there is no need to worry about the ability of the Beifu soldiers and their determination to fight.
They have been working hard and have not slacked off at all. However, a regrettable fact also lies in front of them.
That is Jingkou, the base camp of the Beifu soldiers and the important town that King Langya worked hard to manage. Now it has indeed been controlled by Sima Shangzhi's brothers.
fell into the hands of the enemy.
Yes!
Jingkou is lost!
Yes!
Now, no matter who comes to visit Jingkou, they will get the same answer, that is, Jingkou has been occupied by Sima Shangzhi!
So many soldiers, so many guns!
It's still your own base camp, how is that possible?
How can it be lost?
However, this is the fact.
Of course, it's not that the soldiers of Beifu didn't die, but that they were calculated and attacked!
As for the reason for this sneak attack, there is no need to go into details.
The root of everything lies here with Liu Laozhi!
As for how Liu Laozhi was deceived and how he was imprisoned by Sima Shangzhi, outsiders should not mention these stupid things again.
If Wang Mi could rush back at this time and take a look at the current situation in Jingkou, I believe he would be completely shocked by what he saw.
Who would have expected that a team that he had worked so hard to build would always have high hopes and be considered invincible.
Now it has become so miserable?
The Beifu soldiers in Jingkou were indeed defeated, but they had not completely disappeared and the resistance continued.
And Sima Shangzhi is not Wang Mi. He will not show mercy to his enemies, even those who are his own.
"Bring those two men up!"
After the small group of troops rushed out, within a moment, the continuous sound of artillery suddenly stopped, and the resistance disappeared.
The loyal and brave Beifu soldiers died!
Even though they had muskets and cannons, under the absolute numerical disadvantage, even the brave and capable Beifu soldiers were unable to make a comeback.
As a result, their power was quickly annihilated.
Sima Shangzhi smiled proudly.
After a while, under the leadership of Sima Xiuzhi, the two strong men were brought into the small courtyard. In fact, their original location was not far away. They were imprisoned in a small room in a corner of the courtyard.
They were selected from the beginning, lambs to be slaughtered, and their lives were originally hung in Sima Shangzhi's account books.
As for when he wants them to die, who knows?
It all depends on what he thinks.
But now, after playing tricks on the Beifu brothers for two days, Sima Shangzhi had an idea. He called the two of them in front of him.
He also said with a smile: "I heard you call this thing a musket?"
"Yeah?"
Looking down, Sima Shangzhi was indeed playing with a musket in his hand, but the medicine room was empty and there was no gunpowder in it.
When Sima Shangzhi led his troops and passed through Jingkou, he saw these small things used by Beifu soldiers.
It looks small in shape, but its power is not small. At first, when Sima Shangzhi was not prepared, his soldiers suffered a lot.
Not only these little things, but also fireballs with yellow light, and strange weapons that seem to make loud noises.
None of Sima Shang's brothers had ever seen these artifacts, let alone used them.
Is this...the legendary "firearm?"
The Beifu soldiers led by Wang Mi were invincible and invincible. To be honest, every Jin general was envious of them.
It is said that Wang Mi was able to achieve such impressive results because he used some kind of mysterious weapon.
That weapon also has an appropriate name, it’s called a “firearm.”
As the name suggests, although the generals of the Sima family have never seen firearms at all, nor how to use them.
However, because there is a word for fire, everyone can guess that these new weapons must be inseparable from fire.
Everyone was curious, but they couldn't get a real gun or a real cannon.
Why is this?
This is of course because King Langya has done a good job in keeping secret!
On the Beifu side, the craftsmen strictly followed Wang Mi's instructions. They knew that these weapons were crucial to the development of Beifu.
In this era when the entire military structure has not yet been unified, each individual army has a natural sense of hostility towards other forces.
As long as it is our thing, good thing, we will never take it out and hand it over to you easily. Therefore, without waiting for Wang Mi to explain, the craftsmen in Beifu can also keep the secret of firearm making on their own initiative.
