Many, many people have died, and there are no more people. What’s the use of keeping those money and materials?
What did the Chang family rely on from a small humble settlement to what it is today? It relies on the continuous efforts of generations of outstanding children to achieve the great cause of today's wealthy family. People are the foundation...
Suddenly, Chang Yinxu felt his chest churning, raised his head, and cried out in pain, "It hurts me too..."
Chang Yinsu stared and fell straight back. The Chang family members next to him were shocked...
After this great change, the Chang family in Yuci has been severely damaged. Since Tie Mo rose to Zhangbei, the Chang family has grown bigger and bigger, and now it has become the leader of Shanxi merchants. After this drastic change, it will bring great changes to the Chang family.
It's really unclear what kind of changes will come.
Chang Yinxu was so sad that he died half of his life. The most serious problem of the Chang family was also exposed. If Chang Yinxu died, who would be in charge of the Chang family? Chang Minteng was too weak and has no heirs.
...
The morning sun broke through the clouds, bringing the light of dawn, but this light failed to sweep away the gloom in Yuci City, especially the Chang family, which was shrouded in gloom at this time. In the county government office, Xi Jingchao and Zheng Chun were also frightened
Trembling with fear and uneasiness, fortunately the troops were dispatched in time. If something happened to Chang Yin, it would be really difficult to deal with.
The people in Yuci County had no time to be sad or angry, because as soon as dawn broke, the peasant army launched a new offensive. Yuci City, which had suffered repeated attacks, could only tremble under the violent attack of the peasant army.
Outside Yuci City, Sun Kewang looked at Yuci City in the distance with a bit of joy on his face. It is estimated that it won't take long to capture Yuci City. By then, the Chang family's wealth and supplies will be available to everyone, wouldn't it be wonderful? Legend has it that
Among them, a Chang family can be as rich as the entire Shaanxi Province. Although it is a bit excessive, it is definitely more powerful than the entire Shaanxi Province. With this achievement, the adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong can surpass Zhang Damou.
In the city, Zheng Chun was furious. He had been holding out for more than two days, but the reinforcements from Xuanhua Mansion were still nowhere to be seen. Now the defenders suffered too many casualties. The most terrible thing was that all the troops and horses were on the verge of collapse. Zheng Chun
There are already signs of being out of control. Shanxi's various soldiers and horses cannot be compared with the frontier troops. Yuci is just a small city. It is really difficult for them to coexist with Yuci City.
Looking at the panicked Zheng Chun, Xi Jingchao started to think about scolding her, "General Zheng, no matter when the reinforcements come, we have to defend Yuci City with all our strength. Don't forget, if Yuci City is attacked
If we break through and the court investigates, others may have nothing to do, but you and I will definitely not be able to escape the relationship. Looking at the fate of General Zhang Honggong, do you think the court can let us survive?"
Zheng Chun stared and kept swallowing his saliva. He had some thoughts of escaping, but when Xi Jingchao said this, he suddenly sobered up. Those guards soldiers under his command could escape, but Zheng Chun could not escape, "This...
...What should we do? If reinforcements don’t come, we won’t be able to hold on much longer. Those miscellaneous soldiers under Zheng’s command...are unreliable..."
"At this point, you have to do it if you can't." Xi Jingchao gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "General Zheng, you must go and watch from the front and send your cronies to supervise the battle. Anyone who dares to withdraw will be killed without mercy. The enemy is now, how can you do it?
Have compassion?"
"Ah? Zheng personally led people to supervise the battle?" Zheng Chun immediately panicked. He was really afraid of going to the city, let alone fighting. His legs were trembling when he saw that scene. Seeing Zheng Chun's reaction, Xi Jingchao was very angry.
That's disgusting. Even if the imperial court randomly finds someone to fill the pit of the Shanxi General Soldier, there is no need to throw such a waste here, right? The dignified Shanxi General Soldier is worse than a farmer when it comes to military affairs.
"Commander Zheng, you are the commander-in-chief of Shanxi and their chief officer. If you don't supervise the war, why should Xi, a small county magistrate, supervise the war?" At this time, Xi Jingchao no longer cared about saving face for Zheng Chun.
, "We can no longer hesitate. If these people collapse, we will definitely die. In short, General Zheng, please put down those unrealistic fantasies. You and I must make plans to live and die with Yuci, not only
For ourselves, but also for our families.”
"Ah..." Zheng Chun is not a fool. Of course he understands what Xi Jingchao means. If he abandons the defense of Yuci County, not only will he be beheaded, but his family will also be implicated. If Yuci is killed in the battle, at least his family will not be killed.
Will be implicated. Perhaps because of his heroic death in battle, the court will take care of his family.
I understand, I understand, but Zheng Chun really couldn't muster up his fighting spirit. He held the handle of the knife tremblingly and looked at Xi Jingchao awkwardly, "Xian Xianzun, Zheng has never killed anyone since he was a child... Even
I haven’t killed a single chicken...this supervising battle..."
Xi Jingchao grabbed her official hat and walked out, humming: "General Zheng, think about it for yourself. Even if you haven't stepped on an ant to death, you will be killed when you deserve it. If you don't kill someone, then you will be killed."
, if you want to die... I won't stop you..."
There are a lot of bad things going on in Yuci City, and Xi Jingchao has no intention of gossiping with Zheng Chun. If he has the energy, it is better to do more meaningful things before the bandits break through the city. Xi Jingchao gradually disappeared, leaving Zheng Chun alone
He was in a daze. After a long time, Zheng Chun stamped his feet and cursed with a black face, "You bitch, I'm more or less a gentleman. It's not difficult to kill someone, just chop with a knife..."
Zheng Chun finally plucked up the courage and went out angrily. He led his guards all the way to Beicheng. As soon as he walked a few steps along the steps, he saw a group of more than a dozen guardsmen running over in a hurry.
Zheng Chun suddenly became furious, blocked the way, and asked loudly: "What are you doing? If you don't guard the city wall well, what are you doing here?"
"Lord General...Many of the battlements have been smashed, there are more and more rogues, and the reinforcements haven't come yet. This city cannot be defended. Let's escape quickly. If we don't escape, we will have no chance."
A middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said with a panicked look. After hearing this, Zheng Chun was furious, his hands were trembling, he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and his eyes widened with effort, "Go back, I'm here.
Anyone who escapes from battle will be dealt with according to military law."
Military punishment? Many veteran soldiers were stunned on the spot. For a while, several of them suppressed their faces until they turned red, for fear of laughing out loud. During this time, everyone knew what kind of soldier Zheng was. He was as courageous as a mouse.
He is tall, but not as strong as a rabbit. He only knows how to settle accounts in his life, and has no idea how to lift a knife. Behind his back, the soldiers in the guard station call General Zheng the General Soldier Auntie. It can be said that General Zheng is the best General Soldier in history.
.
Such a mother-in-law general soldier, he can kill people and scare people. Look, his words are harsh, but his hands are trembling. So, no one paid attention to Zheng Chun's threat and continued to move forward along the gap. Zheng
Chun suddenly became anxious, "Go back to me, did you turn a deaf ear to what I said? I can really kill people..."
Zheng Chun roared twice more, but no one paid attention to him. For a moment, Zheng Chun felt a surge of blood, and he was about to go crazy. When he saw the nearest guard soldier, he
He let out a shrill roar: "Wow, you forced me..."
Pulling out the knife, Zheng Chun almost slashed with his eyes closed. The stone steps were narrow and the passage was so close that there was no way to hide. The most important thing was that these old soldiers never thought that Zheng Chun could really chop people.
In their minds, it was a question of whether their commander-in-chief had the strength. Therefore, when Zheng Chun really slashed people with his eyes closed, no one even reacted.
"Ah...ah..." There was a scream, more horrifying than Zheng Chun's roar. The old oil soldier leaned on the stone steps, with blood gushing out from his shoulder blades, and his whole face was as pale as a thread.
Shocked and lost their minds. Everyone was stunned. Zheng Chun actually killed someone...
At this time, Zheng Chun slowly opened his eyes. After the first cut, he found that he was not so scared anymore. Looking at the old soldier who was screaming in agony, he was furious.
Then he slashed with another knife. The first knife was a random chop, but the second knife was aimed firmly at the opponent's neck. Killing people to establish prestige, and to suppress the old oil soldier, you have to chop people to death.
"I'll chop you to death...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh job so so so so so so so so so so so so so so...
He was still screaming. Zheng Chun's face became more and more ugly. He snorted coldly, and then slashed with his knife. But what was disappointing was that the old oil soldier was still alive.
Zheng Chun swore to God that he really used all the strength in his body, but the wound was not deep when he cut it with a knife. Zheng Chun was depressed, but this cut with a knife was a kind of torture to a living person, and even death
It was an unpleasant death. The eyes of the other old oil soldiers who wanted to escape changed. At this time, General Zheng was no longer an aunt, but a devil. How can anyone kill people like this? Isn't this torture? It makes life worse.
Die.
The screams became weaker and weaker. Zheng Chun slashed several times, and he was very tired. In the end, the old oil soldier died on the steps due to excessive blood loss.
It leaves a shadow in people's hearts.
"Whoever dares to talk about escaping will be punished. Now... all of them will be given... to the commander-in-chief to go back and defend the city..."
"Yes...Yes..." The old oil soldiers didn't dare to make any mistakes, they all rolled back in despair. The man died so miserably before, they would rather die in the hands of the bandits than let him
General Zheng, take action.
Even Zheng Chun didn't know that his incompetence had a miraculous effect. In fact, if Zheng Chun had enough strength to kill people with one knife, the effect would really be inferior to bloodletting with one knife.
.......
The offensive and defensive battle in Yuci County was in full swing, and it was already late May. The old elm forest in the south of Yuci City was lush and green. At some point, a group of people appeared outside the elm forest. They were the Xuanfu who rushed to rescue Yuci.
Soldiers and horses.
In fact, if Geng Zhongming was willing, he could have attacked Sun Kewang yesterday and relieved the siege of Yuci. This was exactly what Zhou Dingshan planned, but before sending out his troops, he was stopped by Geng Zhongming. Because of this, Zhou Dingshan was very dissatisfied with Geng Zhongming. Until now
Everyone has opinions.
"General Geng, if something goes wrong in Yuci City and Mr. Chang suffers, you and I cannot bear the responsibility. I hope your decision is right, otherwise, we will have no face to see the Governor."
Zhou Dingshan was dissatisfied, but Geng Zhongming didn't take it to heart. Looking at the elm forest in front of him, he said calmly: "General Zhou, you can rest assured. Since Geng gave the order not to send troops in a hurry, it is because Yuci City is temporarily unavailable."
It won't be thrown away for a while. Moreover, have you forgotten that before the Governor came, he specifically ordered that this battle is not only to relieve the siege of Yuci, but the most important thing is to beat the rogue bandits into pain and fear."
"Of course Zhou knows, so General Geng, have you figured out how to fight next?"
Geng Zhongming frowned slightly and said calmly: "It's very simple. General Zhou only needs to launch an attack from the north in two hours and drive the bandits over. As for the rest, the general will arrange it himself."
"Okay, let's do it sooner rather than later!" Zhou Dingshan was really anxious. He was different from Geng Zhongming. In his heart, he must have saved the Chang family first. However, now he also understood why Brother Tie wanted to
Let Geng Zhongming be the master. If he, Zhou, was the master, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to deal with it so calmly.
On May 24th of the third year of Chongzhen, the peasant army Sun Kewang's troops attacked Yuci City for more than three days, and finally captured the city. Just when Yuci City was about to be captured, they heard a horn sound, and in Yuci City
From the northeast of the secondary city, a group of armored cavalry swarmed in. This cavalry arrived neither early nor late, and attacked Sun Kewang when he was about to break the city.
Liu Wenxiu's expression changed drastically. A few days ago, he had fought with the Yunfu cavalry at Yinzhou Pass, and he could tell at a glance that they were the Yunfu cavalry. The reinforcements from the Xuanhua Mansion finally arrived. Sun Kewang was unwilling to give in, and Liu Wenxiu became even more worried.
Not willing to give in, but at this time, the safest way is to retreat first, at least to block the opponent's offensive. Otherwise, if the cavalry is allowed to stir things up from behind, it will cause chaos.
Sun Kewang stamped his feet and roared fiercely: "Retreat to the south, and notify the rear that Xuanfu reinforcements are found, please ask for more troops at any time!"
Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu reacted very quickly. They let the rear team be the front team and retreated one by one. Although the siege troops and horses were bitten by the opponent's cavalry, the main force still retreated south safely. Zhou Dingshan sent his troops south, so naturally he would not
The peasant army was allowed to leave easily, leaving some people to clean the battlefield, while most of the rest continued to run south. Since Zhou Dingshan had almost all cavalry under his command this time, they were naturally very fast, and they caught up with Sun Kewang's main army in the blink of an eye.
Sun Kewang now has more than 10,000 men under his command, but even so, he still did not dare to stop and fight with Zhou Dingshan's cavalry. At Yinzhou Pass, he had already seen the terrifying power of the opponent's cavalry. He fought against the opponent's cavalry in the open plains.
Without a shield formation, it is tantamount to seeking death.
If you don't think of a way, you will definitely be bitten by this cavalry and cannibalized step by step. Liu Wenxiu caught up with Sun Kewang on horseback and said anxiously: "Brother Sun, go southeast. As long as you enter the ancient elm forest, the opponent's cavalry will
The advantage will be lost. If they come in after them, they will be left with nothing to eat."
There is a saying that no one should enter the forest, especially the cavalry. If the cavalry enters the forest, it is equivalent to putting a yoke on themselves.
