[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

This is probably the most ridiculous news that everyone in the capital has heard since the Dongfan Rebellion.

Maotu was still in front of the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, smiling and listening to the people in the hall who didn't even have time to drink, and were discussing with doubts, happily making plans in their hands.

Many people knew that Zuixian Tower was Lin Yu's property, and they happened to be on Lin Yu's side, except for Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying who had gone somewhere.

When he raised his eyeballs, he happened to see Feng Ziying, who walked in with a normal expression, and Liu Xianglian, who was really unremarkable beside him.He fiddled with the abacus fingers without stopping, and greeted: "When did Uncle Liu come back?"

Liu Xianglian untied her cloak and handed it to the shop waiter who approached courteously, and said with a smile: "I won't be here for long, I will leave a few years ago to visit an old friend!"

When Maotu heard this, he smiled and said, "It's a great fortune to have a friend like Uncle Liu." He put down the abacus in his hand, and stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle Liu, please, Uncle Feng."

The two nodded at the shopkeeper as usual, and went to the box they used to use in a familiar way.

It was the first time for Feng Ziying to visit Zuixianlou since Lin Yu's name was introduced into the capital, but for some reason he didn't report Lin Yu's property to the government for the first time.He followed Liu Xianglian in a trance and sat down on the chair in the box, suddenly he didn't know how to face his old friend for many years.

Seeing Liu Xianglian's calm expression, Feng Ziying couldn't help lowering her voice and asked, "When did you know this?"

Liu Xianglian glanced at him with a smile, and said, "If I say that I didn't know earlier than you, would you believe it?" Then asked, "How are you these days?"

Feng Ziying knew that what he was asking about was about the racecourse. He was the only one in Beijing in the outskirts of the racecourse. Most of the others who tried to imitate lost money, or failed to drive for various reasons.He was always a big fan, but now it is revealed that his friend Lin Yu is a traitor from Dongfan. This period of time must be difficult for others.

Hearing what Liu Xianglian said, he said: "Believe it, why don't you believe it." Then, he sighed and said: "You don't have to worry about me, there is the third prince behind the racecourse, he has always known about it, and there is nothing wrong with it." Big problem. That is, his part was taken away by the third prince."

Both of them knew who he was referring to, so Liu Xianglian nodded and said, "It's fine for the third prince to take it, but others don't know what's going on here. Brother Yu probably doesn't care about such a small amount of money." It should be said that I didn't care much from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have said such a way to make money so easily and let others make it.

Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Have you decided?" He was taken aback by the sentence of visiting friends just now, isn't it true that he is going to Lin Huaijin to do that terrible thing?

Although it seems that the situation in Dongfan is very good now, in the eyes of everyone in the capital, the dynasty has already established a solid foundation after being established for a hundred years.Now is the time when the national power is prosperous, what Lin Yu did was nothing more than hitting a stone with a pebble, and finally ended up dead without a place to bury him.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying sighed again: "Admiral Wang is now raising his flag to stand up for himself, and we don't know the reason. We just don't know what happened to Baoyu. He is always naive and ignorant, this time it's not a matter of slapstick. "No way, my life will be lost.

Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "You don't care about this, I have my own way." He had already discussed it with Ni Er and Jia Yun, the drunk kings. Ni Er listened to the arrangement of the shopkeeper here. Rabbits mean to discuss.When he was in Xinghua, he had dealings with Lin Yu's subordinates more than once.Knowing the abilities of these people, borrowing the power of these people can get twice the result with half the effort than trying to find a way by themselves.

"It's you." Liu Xianglian looked at Feng Ziying with deep meaning in her eyes, "You were the most promising person in our group when you were young. Whether it is practicing martial arts or learning the art of war, you are the only one who is the most outstanding. Later, it happened. , it gradually fell silent, but are you willing to let all your abilities be buried?"

"I'm no better than you." Feng Ziying smiled wryly, and said, "My family is all in this Forty-Nine City, so I can leave wherever I can. Even if I can show my ambitions in the future, what good is it to stand opposite you people? It's better to live day by day." I'm afraid that he, who once traveled closely with Lin Yu, will not be allowed to take any position, and besides, I didn't see that the governors and commanders who led the army this time are all satisfied. people.

At the critical moment, it was clear at a glance what the emperor, who usually seemed to value Hanchen, was thinking.

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she also sighed for him, and remained silent for a long time.

But Feng Ziying changed into an unruly smile and said: "There is nothing to worry about. After all, I am here and you are there. Maybe in the future I will rely on you!"

Liu Xianglian raised her wine glass, she was not in the same position as her brother in this kind of matter, he couldn't even give you a good word.I have to say everything without saying anything!

Feng Ziying also lazily raised her glass and drank it down.

After saying a few words, Feng Ziying walked out of the door openly, and Maotu walked in through an inconspicuous small door on the other side.

Liu Xianglian laughed and said, "It's only after staying in Xinghua that I know that all the industries under Brother Yu have such a design. Those who don't know it really can't find it."

The shopkeeper's unique kind and smooth smile was no longer on Mao Tu's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Uncle Liu is here this time to think?"

Even if Liu Xianglian went to the south to join Lin Yu, the other party was also an obvious person, and it had nothing to do with the earthly branch he was in. In theory, he could ignore his request, let alone this person hadn't gone yet.

However, when Lin Yu left, he had entrusted all the affairs of the capital to Maotu, letting him play by ear. Therefore, Maotu, who is equivalent to the person in charge of the capital, also has considerable rights.

"The Jia family's downfall is right in front of my eyes. If I don't say anything else, it's my selfishness to hug a few little ones anyway." Liu Xianglian said very clearly that this is her own selfishness. He is Baoyu's friend, so he can't see Then he lost his life.

Maotu was a little disapproving, but he also knew that Jia's family was his uncle's aunt's family, and if there was a way, it would be nothing to reach out.He said: "Do you have any regulations?" The Jia family is a sieve, how messy it is inside, even if he doesn't pay special attention to it, as soon as he stands behind the counter, a steady stream of jokes will be passed into his ears.

The average family has two or three loyal servants who are willing to take the place of the master.But Maotu is very sure that even if the Jia family has such a servant, this method will not work, and sooner or later someone will leak it out.

"I've already made an agreement with Brother Yun. He will contact you and release all the servants of the Jia family first." Anyway, even if they don't release them, these people can't stay anymore, so it's better to let them go.Furthermore, most of these are evil intentions, and keeping them will only increase trouble.

"Then replace a few smaller ones?" Maotu received it, he thought for a while and said, "Then you have to hurry up, the news from my side, there are people in Wucheng Bingmasi who are secretly watching the three families , I’m afraid that some important people will escape. When the time comes, you can tell me, and I’ll send someone to take them out.”

Liu Xianglian nodded, they had already arranged this matter, and all they needed was Maotu's words.He turned his head and told Maotu about another important matter that Feng Ziying had just told him. Feng Ziying heard this news from the racecourse, and this side probably didn't know it in time.He raised a finger and pointed to the top, and said: "The man in the city heard the news that [-] bannermen surrendered to brother Yu today, and said that he was not a national. When he returned to the study, he passed out. In the past. I don’t know if I’ve woken up now, it doesn’t sound good.”

No matter how the news came out, whether it is true or not, the appearance of such news expresses a message: In the Forbidden City, the father, son, son, monarch, and ministers beside the dragon chair are starting to feel uneasy inside. The wind that blows before the rain is about to come, and big troubles are about to come!

The high-ranking officials and ministers in the capital who heard the news were all in panic, not only the Hanchens, but also a large number of Manchens.The emperor's sentence of "non-nationality" in the court hall really frightened them. They don't know whether they were frightened by the news that the [-] bannermen surrendered to Lin Yu, or the emperor's words made them feel scared. It was unclear whether the rabbit died and the fox was sad, or the traitor was Lin Huaijin, the six-yuan champion who they had met several times before.

Now they all know about the controversy in the whole capital city, but they can't take care of it.Without him, they themselves are still in shock and haven't reacted yet!

If it was changed, no one would think it was possible. How old is that person? They only got married this year, and they are only 17 years old.It can suppress the entire Dongfan, and even raised the flag to rebel, which sounds like an absurd and uninhibited story in a storybook.

However, the news from the governor of Liangjiang broke their disbelief. It was confirmed that the man who stationed troops in Jiaxing Mansion and led the army all the way was this former young prefect. He was once called Jiangnan Linlang, and then he became the capital again. Yulang Jun of the most beautiful son, Lin Yu and Lin Huaijin.

Of course, now it's the traitor Lin Yu.

They finally accepted the fact that during this period of time, there were countless broken cups, saucers and dishes in the capital.The one who reacted the most is still lying on the dragon bed and can't get up!

I just don't know if it's true or not.

There was a lot of discussion outside, but Dai Quan, who was serving him personally, knew that the fact that the emperor had fallen was actually true, and he couldn't fake it at all.He scolded the traitor Lin Yu thousands of times in his heart, and his face, which he thought was beautiful, now became evidence of a crime, a harbinger of long-term ambition.

However, he never dared to presuppose these words in front of Yuan, for fear of provoking him again.When the emperor heard the news before, the unbelievable look in his eyes and the snarl that I'm sorry he called Dai Quan are still shocking.

Speaking of which, it doesn't really matter who the leader of the rebels is. Even Lin Yu, it's just that what he's doing now is so different from his image that it's shocking. If you calm down and think about it, Lin Yu There is actually a lot to do between Yu and Dong Fan.

It's just that unless the emperor lying on the dragon bed with his eyes closed can think of such a way in his dream, no one else can implement it even if he thinks of it.

At this time, the disadvantages of Emperor Yuanzheng's little recovery of the power of the cabinet were revealed. Originally, the cabinet could still maintain the normal operation of state affairs.However, after so many years of management by Emperor Yuanzheng, once he finally gathered all the power in one body, he fell, and no one could take the burden of the really important affairs.

The cabinet also only has the right to draft votes and has no decision-making power.No matter what happens to the current emperor, no one dares to take a step beyond the threshold without his instruction.

When the memorials on the imperial case were about to pile up, the emperor finally opened his eyes under everyone's expectation or disappointment.However, Emperor Yuanzheng's weak appearance also fell into the eyes of caring people.

The first thing the emperor said when he woke up was not to ask Lin Yu to settle the score, but to call A Chang'a, the military commander of the five cities, and Duo Luo, the governor of the Beijing camp, into the palace for an audience.He knew very well what kind of signal he would send to the government and the public after a few days in a coma, so whether it was Wang Ziteng or Lin Yu was not the most important thing right now.The most important thing is to control the entire capital and the imperial city before he fully recovers.

If he really can't get better, he must also guarantee that the throne will be handed over to the best candidate in his mind.

He didn't know that several big camps outside the capital had already started to make moves, just like Feng Ziying's old man had received the news, and many former emperor's former ministries had received the same message.Some of these people refused like Feng Tang, and some chose to join forces after thinking about it, and made a contribution to the dragon.

These all happened after the current emperor passed out. Once the leader of the wolf pack showed a weak appearance, the grown-up sons around him began to show their thick fangs.

The prestige of the current emperor is no longer enough to deter everyone, and the underground tide is surging so that people like Maotu feel terrified.If it is said that because of his identity, he can have nothing to do with himself and only collect information.People like Feng Ziying have already fallen into the whirlpool and cannot extricate themselves.

As soon as Feng Ziying got home, when his father hurriedly threw a load of soft goods, he was completely blindsided.

"What do you mean?" He put the package in his hand on the desk beside him, his eyes full of bewilderment.

"What do you say?" Feng Tang rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you should clean up as soon as possible and go out for a walk. If you don't clean up, I have to do it for you personally. Cleaned up."

Feng Ziying looked at her father silently, and then said: "I won't go." As soon as he finished speaking, he was chopped down by a hand blade from behind, and fell to the ground without a sound.

Feng Tang rubbed his chin and said, "I'm not discussing with you." He turned his head to look at Liu Xianglian who was hiding behind the door before, and said, "I'll trouble you to watch this stubborn donkey more in the future."

Liu Xianglian nodded and said, "Of course." He paused, and when Feng Tang waved his hand to signal him to leave, he asked hesitantly, "Isn't the old man leaving together? Are there any family members?"

Feng Tang laughed and said, "It's not the worst. It's hard for anyone to tell. It's not easy for you to get rid of a single person. Why bother to scare the snake away and no one will be able to escape."

Liu Xianglian sighed: "Don't bluff me. If things weren't so bad, why did you send Ziying away in a hurry? It can be seen that there is some news." As soon as he received the news from Mr. Feng Tang, he knew that something was wrong. What's wrong, Maotu has been notified to prepare in advance.

Feng Tang muttered: "It's really hard to fool anyone nowadays." He had no choice but to tell the truth, "It's just three or two days, so don't come back even if you have nothing to do."

He looked at Feng Ziying, who was put aside by Liu Xianglian, with tender eyes, but he said without mercy: "From now on, I will just pretend that I don't have this son anymore, so you take him to find your friends! That's a promising one." No one understands better than this veteran, that as long as Lin Yu wins the first battle of Xinghua, there will be no one in the south of the Yangtze River who can compete with him.

Needless to say, that is also a Wu country.

Liu Xianglian nodded, picked up Feng Ziying's burden and carried it on her back, and left through the prepared tunnel. After he left, Feng Tang would personally bury the exit.

Watching Liu Xianglian leave with her youngest son, Feng Tang sighed inwardly. After all, it was still his partiality as an old man who wanted to give his youngest son a way out.

After leaving the tunnel, there was already a green-glazed cart waiting outside, and with Jia Yun's help, Liu Xianglian threw Feng Ziying into it.Jia Baoyu had already been sent out first, and there was only Jia Lan who was in a panic.

"Brother Yun, take care of yourself." Liu Xianglian sat beside the coachman and said to Jia Yun who was standing below.

"Brother Liu, don't worry about it, we have our own place to go." After such a long time, he has become a life-and-death friend with his neighbor, the drunk king who was originally avoided.At such a critical juncture, only such a loyal person is willing to risk his life and death to help him save a few strangers he doesn't know, "After this farewell, I don't know how long it will be until I see you again, and I hope Brother Liu will be smooth sailing from now on. "

"I'd like to borrow your good words." Liu Xianglian is not a cowardly person, she said to the driver beside her, "Let's go!"

Jia Yun stood where she was, watching the car disappear from a distance, then she folded her arms and turned back.

Sure enough, the three or two days that Feng Tang said was really only two days.Just when Liu Xianglian and the others boarded the water transport ship heading south under Chenlong's care, news came from the capital.

The great emperor's womb changed, and his father was killed to ascend the throne.

"Is there any news about my family?" Feng Ziying's face was very pale, and he no longer wanted to go back.However, when such news came, he couldn't hold back any longer, and asked after Liu Xianglian, "What's the matter?"

"The specific situation is not very clear. Now there is a lot of turmoil in the capital. The shopkeeper of Zuixianlou has closed the restaurant in order not to be conspicuous. The information that can be obtained is limited." More importantly, Chang Kemin and Chang Kemin are no longer in court. For sources like Lin Ruhai, those officials who had been bribed before are still in the palace, and most of them have lost their lives.

Feng Ziying let go of her hand dejectedly, and sat down on the chair without saying a word.

Liu Xianglian patted him on the shoulder and remained silent. The situation of Feng's family was different from his family's. He grew up being bullied by his clansmen, and there was only one old servant who took care of him all the time.However, the Feng family has always been harmonious. It cannot be said that there are no conflicts in the family, but the father-son relationship between Feng Tang and Feng Ziying is real, which made him very envious.They are not like a father and a boy, but like a pair of year-end brothers. In such an era where sons are afraid of fathers like tigers, I have to say something rare.

However, such a father-son relationship in such a situation hurts people instead.

In the cabin, there are not only Feng Ziying, but also Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong for men, Ying Tanxi and Miaoyu for women, and no adults.Whether it's the good-natured Jia She, the prudish and disrespectful Jia Zheng, the stingy Mrs. Xing, or the kind-hearted Mrs. Wang, when faced with the downfall of the entire old family, they will all be the same. The hope of life gave a few little ones.

It can be regarded as a helpless feature of this era. Usually, they fight like black-eyed chickens, facing adversity, but they have a conscience when facing their children.

"Are we going to look for Brother Lian?" Unexpectedly, Jia Huan, who usually looks like a little frozen cat, stood up and asked Liu Xianglian.

"Exactly." Liu Xianglian looked at Jia Baoyu who was shrinking to one side, and sighed. She grew up holding Jia Baoyu like a brother of Fenghuang, and couldn't stand up anymore. What can I say in the future.Even if his relationship with Baoyu is better, he has to say that Jia Huan and Jia Lan are more like adults along the way.

He comforted in a soft voice: "The place over there is good, you can just study, and you can support yourself after you pass the exam." These words are not aimless, there is a place for orphans in Beizhou, and they can't starve to death. With Jia Lian's care, their life will never be worse.Of course, it can't be compared with the time in Rongguo Mansion, but it's good to be able to live in peace and stability.

Unexpectedly, Jia Huan's face showed no abnormality, and said: "I don't live a good life in the mansion anyway, it would be great to have a way out in the future."

Liu Xianglian couldn't help being surprised, but seeing Jia Huan finding a place to sit alone again, ignoring others, she didn't know what to think.

He was thinking about Feng Ziying, and he was concerned about the news of the imperial court in the north, so he didn't want to think about him too much, but his mind flashed, and he went out to talk to the people on the boat.

The person on the tank boat had a confidant who was born in the zodiac of Chenlong. This time, the court's action was too big, and Chenlong was worried about telling others to send a letter, so he sent this person.It happened to drop by the Jia family's weak women and children, and the extra Miaoyu was still Lin Yu's promise to Mrs. Jingyi, and it was just a matter of convenience, so she took it with her.

That person will not send them to Xinghua Mansion, but will stop in Gusu for a while.That was originally Lin Yu's old place, and there was a spot where carrier pigeons stopped.The speed of the homing pigeon is always faster than that of the tank boat, and he will continue to go south when he gets the news.

"Is there any latest news?" Liu Xianglian asked not about the military affairs, but about the current situation of several families in the capital, especially Feng and Jia.

The man shook his head and said, "The gate of the capital is still sealed, so it's inconvenient to get in and out, so it's hard to say." They also wanted to know what happened here, but they couldn't say anything before the gate opened.The news of the eldest prince's ascension to the throne is only known to the world by him himself. As for patricide, it is up to the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise.Even if it's not true, Lin Yu will make up the news in a decent way.

When the news of the capital city reached Lin Yu's ears, the eldest prince's throne was already confirmed.

"The Emperor Taishang and the late Emperor are doing great things, and all the princes banned the palace." Lin Yu laughed when he heard the report from the subordinates, and said, "The method is vicious, but not very smart." He put the two of them together without any psychological burden The death of the previous emperor was placed on the current emperor's head, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

The eldest prince should be called Emperor Longchang now, and his new year name has already been set, but according to tradition, he will continue to use the year name of Emperor Yuanzheng for one year, and he will not be able to change to the year name of Longchang until the next year.

However, it is obvious that the eldest prince is not someone who respects tradition.Or, in his mouth, this is just the tradition of the Han Dynasty.Coincidentally, when his palace changed, it was almost the end of the new year. In order not to continue to use the reign name of Yuanzheng, he immediately forced the Ministry of Rites to come up with the regulations, and he was enthroned before the new year.

Now, according to the calculation of the northern court, it should be the first year of Longchang.

As the so-called new year and new atmosphere, probably Emperor Longchang also wanted to be able to sweep the world and give himself a good name.It's a pity that the results on the Xinghua battlefield were not very friendly to the imperial court.

There are very few real sieges in this era.Siege on the one side means pushing the roots of the wall and flooding with water, so as to destroy the foundation of the city wall.Also, just like the old method of these Manchu ancestors, besiege the city until it runs out of ammunition and food.

Ladder siege is really a bad idea. Although Alhatu asked people to prepare higher and longer ladders, he still tried not to use this method unless necessary.

However, it turns out that the city wall of the Han army was really built like a hedgehog.No matter how many casualties they took during this period of time, they went to the root of the wall—whether water attack was needed or not, the corner of the wall always had to be dug, but it turned out that they were just futile.

After digging out the soil below, the gray ground below and the city wall was exposed.Remove all the soil, and you can see that the ground and the city wall are connected together.With a shovel down, there was only a white mark on the ground. After knocking several times, even the shovel broke, and a small hole was knocked out on the ground. Not to mention the poor efficiency, in such a process, no Know how many soldiers died in such useless fortifications.

When Alhatu heard the return, his heart was half cold.No matter which method is not feasible, then the only thing left is to besiege or storm the city.

There are two methods, he can't afford the former one.In the latter case, he could not afford to waste his life.

The safest thing is to besiege the city, but in order to win, he went deep into the hinterland of Fujian Province, surrounded by Lin Yu's subordinates, so he couldn't get supplies, and what's more, if the soldiers from Guangdong turned his way , he will face the situation of being pinched head to tail.

He looked at the soldiers in front of him, and said loudly: "The time has come to serve the Holy One and be loyal to Dajing." He didn't know that the Holy One had died, so he pointed to the high city wall and said, " Whoever can be the first to climb the city wall, the Commander will allow him a hundred households, and whoever can take the first head, he will be allowed a thousand households, did you hear that!"

These two sentences raised the hearts of these soldiers a little bit.Whether it is a hundred households or a thousand households, the temptation to low-level soldiers is still great. If there is no such opportunity, they may not be able to touch the side of the small flag or the general flag for the rest of their lives, let alone the hundred households. , Thousands of households.

"They are going to attack the city." The staff officer said, watching the movement on the other side.

"Everything is ready, ready." Zhang Zhong gave an order, and all the gunners stood beside the artillery.All the covering soldiers were divided into three rows and stood beside the artillery with bayonet-mounted guns.Their task is to give him a shot or a knife in case anyone happens to come aboard.

The city wall is specially designed, even if someone can climb up, they can only emerge from the lower opening.When the time comes, opening a hole is a meeting ceremony.

Each soldier retreated immediately after firing a shot, and the people behind him stood on top, just like a row of guns. In this way, as long as the formation is not chaotic, the city wall will not be breached.

Before that, as long as the large wave of enemies below appeared within range, it was the job of the gunner.The weapons in their hands are the most lethal, and a single shot can sweep across a large area in a dense crowd.Make sure to consume as many of them as possible before they put up the ladder.

Facts have proved that this strategy named by Zhang Zhong as the turtle shell tactic is still very useful.Whether it was the shells with astonishing lethality and range, or the strong and unbreakable city walls, they all put considerable psychological pressure on the opponent.

Alhatu stared at the scene in front of his eyes with tearing eyes. These are all good men from Manchu, who died so worthless in the gunfire of the bandit army.

The lieutenant at the side hesitated and said: "It's already the second wave, do we need a third wave?" The two waves of siege let alone climbed the city wall, and they couldn't even set up the ladder, and were damaged by the enemy's artillery fire. Several.

"Return to the camp!" Alhatu squeezed out two words between his teeth, unwilling to look at the scene in front of him, he flicked his sleeves and returned to his big tent.

The deputy general waited for him to leave, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, signaling Ming Jin to withdraw.

Zhang Zhong watched the soldiers under the city wall receding slowly like the tide, not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but raised his arms excitedly, saying: "Take advantage of the victory and pursue!"

What poor gangsters don't chase after them, their morale is available, at least leave him a batch of corpses before leaving!

The generals who had already begun to retreat never imagined that they would dare to open the city gate and give up their advantage when the opponent had taken advantage of the city wall.However, after the several rounds of shelling just now, the soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit. Even if the general shouted loudly, there were still not many people who were willing to gather around them to fight back.

Zhang Zhong held up his binoculars and looked at the scene below where tens of thousands of people were being chased to the ground by [-] soldiers, he slapped his thighs and laughed happily.Until he saw that his soldiers were already some distance away from the city gate, he hurriedly ordered: "Cover them back to the city!"

Just when the bloody bannermen who had been kicked out turned around to fight desperately, the artillery from the city gate rang out and landed in the crowd in front of them. They had to scatter or lie down. On the ground, where is the mentality to see the enemy in front of you.

In the end, these soldiers who only wore light armor on their upper bodies returned to the city unharmed.

Alhatu, who ran out after hearing the commotion outside, listened to the cheers from far away in the city, his face was livid, and he said: "All the generals go back and check, I want to know how many people have been lost!"

The final statistics are not optimistic, although for a total of 5 people, a mere [-] seems to be an acceptable number.But, don't forget, this is only the first day.

After Zhang Zhong in the city was happy, he stared at the army outside the city and was also thinking.His purpose is to wipe out the [-] living forces, so it is not enough to just stay in the city.However, to be able to fight the opponent in the field, the amount consumed by the opponent today is not enough.

If it doesn't work to attack the city by force, the other party must use other methods. Zhang Zhong turned his head and said: "During this time, pay attention to the water source in the city, and don't give them any chance to succeed."

Facts have proved that Zhang Zhong's instructions are correct.The other party's inability to attack for a long time means that they have other ideas. They don't care what will happen to the people in the whole city after the water source is polluted. It's like when they entered the customs, they massacred the people without any scruples. .

The well water in the city can still be used. These are groundwater, and the other side is not yet capable of polluting groundwater.These days, the entire city of Xinghua Prefecture relies on well water to maintain its water supply.

"It's time to fight back." After several rounds of strong attacks, both sides had losses. The difference was that the other side had people's hands, while this side had ammunition.Zhang Zhong took a few staff officers to inspect the wounded barracks, and when he came out, he said, "Take the engineering shovel and dig some trenches at night. They don't have the courage to attack again at night."

It's not like they haven't done a sneak attack while Zhang Zhong and the others were cleaning the battlefield before, but the defeat of the entire two general banners must have impressed them deeply.

Just as Zhang Zhong and the others were planning a big counterattack, a news came from the north: the Great Emperor's womb changed, and Emperor Yuanzheng passed away.

This news hit Alhatu and the others on the head like a Jiao Lei, immediately made them all ashamed and weeping.

And the Han soldiers in the city were laughing happily: God help the Han army!
