Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 826
Zhao Hanzhang said: “If you are unlucky in the future, let the enemy army come down to the city gate. If you can defend it, you will defend it. If you can’t defend it like this time, it’s okay if you surrender him. The most important thing is to guard the people and prevent them from massacring the city and causing chaos. kill.”
Cui Shi responded with a serious face, expressing his understanding.
Zhao Hanzhang left most of the weapons confiscated this time to Cui Shi, did not stay much, and left with the army in the evening.
Cui Shi and the others followed all the way for twenty miles, watching the army go far, and then walked back while wiping away tears.
Zhao Hanzhang and the others stopped after rushing for fifty miles in the dark. They didn’t set up camp.
Ting He followed the soldiers to the river to fetch water, boiled water for Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan, and asked them to soak dry food in the hot water.
Zhao Hanzhang is used to it. Sometimes a battle takes a whole day, and it is difficult to find time to sit down and eat dry food. At this time, she will break a piece and hold it in her mouth, letting the saliva slowly soften the dry food. At least her hands will not shake from hunger.
So she took the bowl and wanted to break the dry food and soak it in water, but the remaining piece was not big, so she didn’t break it for a while.
After thinking about it, she took out a dagger and slowly sharpened it, cut the dry food in half, stuffed one half into her bosom, and ran the other half into the water.
There was still a large piece of Fu Tinghan’s dry food left, so when he saw it, he broke off a piece and gave it to her.
Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him, took it and soaked it in the water together, seeing that he was struggling to break off a piece, so he just took it, broke it off with all his strength, and gave him a big piece.
Fu Tinghan put away the big ones, soaked the small ones in hot water, casually put the bowl aside, moved the map on his lap, and continued the topic, “Are you sure you want to go to Zhencheng?”
Zhao Hanzhang said “Yes” and said: “If Zhencheng is not recovered, they can attack Dunqiu at any time, and our retreat will be cut off at that time.”
“Is it still the same style of play? Without breaking the city gate?”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, “Blowing open the city gate, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources for them to repair it later. Once Shi Le counterattacks, I don’t know how many people will die.”
Fu Tinghan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: “Then I will reduce the content of explosives, and find some iron spikes, iron pieces and the like to add in.”
This is almost the same as a grenade. When it is thrown on the tower, the iron spikes and iron pieces after the explosion will hurt people. It may not be fatal, but it can make people lose their fighting power for a short time. At that time, the ladder team can take the opportunity to climb the tower.
In this way, the damage to the city tower is also minimal. This time, Fu Tinghan threw two packs of explosives into Dunqiu County’s attack at the same time. After two shots, the city tower was blown into two big holes. As soon as they left, the people of Dunqiu had to repair it. The city tower, in case there is another enemy attack.
But it is better than Pingyang City, the gate of Pingyang City has not been built yet.
Fu Tinghan also had to adjust the amount of explosives used and the method of use in each siege.
Zhao Hanzhang saw that the dry food had softened a bit, so he took a bowl and ate the tasteless dinner without frowning, “How, have you found a good slinger?”
Fu Tinghan also picked up his own bowl, ate the dry food with some difficulty, nodded and said: “I found it, there is a man named Le Si, he is very talented, he only learned from me for three days, and he can vote more accurately than me.” Now, this time Dunqiu shot the gunpowder twice.”
Zhao Hanzhang thought about it for a while, and asked: “The two gunpowder that exploded in the sky above the tower?”
“Yes,” Fu Tinghan couldn’t help showing a smile, “The remaining two bombs that knocked down the tower were my calibrated angles, which were much worse than his.”
Zhao Hanzhang couldn’t help laughing too. The two smiled at each other for a while, and they didn’t know which point touched each other’s laughter, so they looked at each other and laughed non-stop.
Zhao Hanzhang was about to burst into tears, so he reluctantly held back and comforted Fu Tinghan, “It’s okay, there is a specialty in surgery, and you taught him.”
Fu Tinghan saw her eyebrows open, and the melancholy that had been lingering since the morning dissipated from her brows, so he couldn’t help laughing again, “This is called blue is better than blue.”
Zhao Hanzhang couldn’t help being happy again, she didn’t know what she was happy about, maybe she discovered that Fu Tinghan, who had always been smart and omnipotent in her own field, suddenly wasn’t as perfect as she imagined?
Hahaha…
When he came back from fetching water again, Ting He stopped when he saw that the two were in a good mood. Seeing that Fu An, who was also carrying the water, was still walking forward, he squeaked at him to signal him not to go forward.
Fu An looked at the smiling Lang Jun, and silently stopped.
Hearing that He was not very happy when he saw his face, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice: “What are you doing, are you not happy that the two masters have a good relationship?”
Fu An snorted twice and said, “Your girl said you got married this year, but it’s already June, but there’s no trace of the wedding date.”
Ting He comforted him, “There is a sudden war, and we girls can’t help it.”
“Do you see how happy our girl is smiling at Mr. Da Lang? Please reassure Mr. Da Lang that after this battle is over, our girl will definitely propose a wedding date.”
Fu An didn’t say anything, but his face looked better.
After dinner and a little wash, Zhao Hanzhang raised his head and looked around, the soldiers had already fallen asleep, except for the soldiers on patrol, the rest of them were huddled together and sound asleep.
Zhao Hanzhang approached Fu Tinghan and said in a low voice: “You rest first, I’ll go for a walk.”
Fu Tinghan nodded, and lay on the ground with a cloak in his arms, with a book wrapped in clothes on his head. There was a fire next to him, and it was midsummer, so it wasn’t cold.
Zhao Hanzhang walked around the camp with his personal guards, scratched a soldier’s head, and caught two mosquitoes in an instant.
Zhao Hanzhang frowned, and asked the guard behind him, “Where’s Fan Ying?”
Immediately, a personal guard ran to look for Fan Ying.
Fan Ying came in a hurry, and Zhao Hanzhang ordered in a low voice: “The army still needs to prepare some anti-mosquito items. For those who don’t have time to set up camp like today, they can drive away mosquitoes in a large area, so that the soldiers can sleep better.”
Fan Ying thought for a while and said, “Use wormwood?”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: “You can try it, ask the military doctor, if it doesn’t work, think of other ways.”
Fan Ying wrote it down.
Zhao Hanzhang took her along and said in a low voice: “Tomorrow we will go to fight Zhencheng, you stay behind to prepare new dry food, after tomorrow we will divide the troops, the vanguard needs to bring food and grass for three days, you have to hurry up and prepare. ”
Fan Ying agreed, and couldn’t sleep no matter what when she returned to her fire, so she simply called all her subordinates to make work arrangements.
The next morning, they hurried to the outside of Zhencheng. The gate of Zhencheng was closed tightly, and they ignored the shouts of Zhao’s army below the city.
Zhao Hanzhang was not in a hurry, they came in a hurry, and they wanted to take a rest.
After scolding for two hours, Zhao Jiajun had enough rest. At sunset, Zhencheng thought that the day was over. When the guards were the most lax, Fu Tinghan and Le Si stood in front of the trebuchet. They calibrated the angle and installed the explosive barrel.
Zhao Hanzhang rode on the horse, waved his hand, and the war drums beat, and the passionate drumbeat resounded through the three armies. The soldiers’ emotions suddenly rose, and all of them stared at Zhencheng with piercing eyes.
Listening to the war drum, Fu Tinghan and Le Si signaled to light the fire at the same time, and almost simultaneously threw the explosive barrels.
The ladder team also carried the ladder at the same time, screaming and ran towards Zhencheng.
The moment the drums were heard, the people upstairs in Zhencheng City were on alert, and then word spread that the Zhao family army had attacked the city.
They were preparing bed crossbows and archers when two explosive barrels were thrown on top of them, and they exploded with a bang before they hit the ground.
The archers who ran over and the officers and soldiers commanding on the tower were blown up together by the heat wave, their ears were ringing and their eyes were dizzy, and then they felt pain to the bone.
Some people got sparks on their bodies and were instantly ignited. They screamed and ran around in panic, setting the tower on fire.
The captain helped his dizzy head to get up from the ground. He couldn’t hear, but he could see the chaos at this moment. Seeing the soldiers running down the tower, he drew out his knife and killed one of them to go down. The fleeing soldiers shouted loudly: “Whoever is afraid of fighting will die, and no one is allowed to run!”
The sound just fell, and a wooden ladder was put on the city wall with a snap. He froze, but still didn’t hear the sound, but still shouted loudly: “Stone, roll oil, spearman, hurry up!”
But someone moved stones, but because of the bombs, everyone was afraid, and there were very few people who moved, and they were not fast. They didn’t throw a few stones, and Zhao Jiajun jumped onto the tower and immediately drew their swords to kill each other.
Immediately, there was a scuffle on the tower. As long as the first person climbed the tower, there would be a steady stream of people behind.
At the same time, the vanguard also arrived at the city under their cover, and they were constantly hitting the city gate with giant logs.
Zhencheng is not a strategic location. Like Dunqiu, the city walls here are not particularly high, and the city gates are not particularly strong. In addition, the cloud ladder team climbed up the tower and quickly killed it from above, helping the vanguard to open the city gate.
When the sun set completely and the sky began to darken, Zhao Hanzhang rode his horse into Zhencheng.
Shi Le was stationed in Zhencheng for a period of time, so the first county magistrate was killed, and the current county magistrate is left behind by Shi Le.
Zhao Hanzhang met a man and saw that he would rather die than submit, so he fulfilled him.
The soldiers of Shi Le, who held their heads high and refused to surrender even though they were being detained, froze for a moment, staring slightly.
Zhao Hanzhang sat under the plaque of “Mirror Hanging High” in the county government office, and said indifferently: “Zhao has always been considerate and doesn’t like to force others. If anyone else wants to be loyal to Shi Le, just report and I will send you a ride. ”
No one dared to speak, and the generals and lieutenants who had been looking up at the disclosure also lowered their heads.
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and asked them to take them down and throw them into a prisoner of war camp.
Hulala was more than half taken away, and she looked at the other people kneeling under the hall.
Here are all other officials from the county government, as well as a few famous village elders.
Zhao Hanzhang let them get up with a sigh, and then said: “Go and invite all the gentry and village elders in the city, and tell them that Mr. Zhao wants to discuss important matters in Zhencheng with them.”
After the Zhao family army entered the city, every household closed their doors tightly and did not dare to come out. The Zhao family army did not disturb the people and just sat on the ground on the street.
After receiving the order, the soldiers got the list from Fan Ying and knocked on the door directly according to the list.
