Water Margin farming to become powerful

Seeing the battalion of the protection army rushing towards the city gate with grenades, Pharmacist Guo on the side quickly told his general Zhao Heshou: "Zhao Tuanlian, hurry up and help General Shi, lest they break through the city gate. He was injured at the time.”

Zhao Heshou, the former trainer of the Ever Victorious Legion under him, nodded, followed with a team of elite soldiers.

Guo Yaoshi did not expect that Shi Xiu would propose to let his grenadiers take the lead. He felt that relying on the few infantrymen holding gunpowder dumplings to attack the city gate was too much.

Once the siege is blocked, it will not be fun to give the Liao army time to close the south gate of Yanjing City. Even if he wants to stably capture Yanjing City, the pharmacist must send his cronies to follow him.

Zhao Heshou and his men rushed to the back of Shi Xiu's team and saw that Shi Xiu had divided his regiment into four battalions and marched towards the city gate in batches.

The Liao army at the city gate was hurriedly trying to close the city gate, but many boulders had been dropped at the city gate to block the huge city gate when they opened the city. At this time, they were hurriedly moving the stones. .

Seeing this situation, Zhao Heshou quickly called his soldiers to charge. While charging, he said to the battalion commander of the protection army in front: "You must not delay entering the city. If they let them block the city gate again, our subsequent soldiers and horses will not be able to enter." The city is in trouble!"

The battalion commander turned around and nodded to them with an impatient look on his face and said, "Get out of the way first!"

Before Zhao Heshou could react, he saw a group of bullet soldiers rushing in front, not afraid of arrows, and rushed directly into the range of the Liao army's arrows.

Because they charged too fast, the Liao army, which hurriedly organized to resist, only shot a few weak arrows here and there, which did not hit the grenadiers at all.

Taking advantage of this moment, the grenadier holding a match rope had already ignited the grenade in his hand, then flicked it and threw it towards the city gate.

Zhao Heshou frowned. Before he knew what was going on, the next moment he suddenly saw a flash of fire in the direction of the city gate.The rumbling explosions were heard all of a sudden, which immediately stunned Zhao Heshou and the hundreds of elite soldiers he brought with him.

Some Liao troops who were hastily organized to defend at the city gate were already frightened. They were frightened to see their comrades around them being blown to pieces by the black thing.

The injured ones just wailed, while the uninjured ones ran away. Even the Khitan general who organized the city defense stopped resisting when he saw that his men had made a clean run, turned around, and ran towards the city with a sword in his hand.

Immediately after the explosion, there was no one in the south gate of Yanjing City. Only then did Zhao Heshou see the grenadier battalion commander of the protection army in front of him. He shouted, and a group of people rushed up and set up a plank on the moat. As light as a swallow, she stepped on the springboard and rushed straight into the south gate of the city.

The following three battalions rushed into the city one after another, and in an instant they quickly occupied the south gate.

Not only Zhao Heshou was dumbfounded, but also Guo Yaoshi, who was commanding the cavalry behind him, was completely unexpected. His whole body was shaken by the huge explosion.

The resistance at the south gate only lasted for a while, and collapsed under the bombardment of grenades by the grenadiers.

After reacting, Yaoshi Guo quickly asked his soldiers to attack the other six gates, and he followed Shi Xiu into the city.

Soon the other six city gates were broken down one by one. The Liao troops who originally guarded the six city gates all withdrew towards the inner city, and the entire outer city area fell into the hands of the protecting troops.

As soon as Pharmacist Guo entered the city, he quickly came to Shi Xiu and said: "General Shi, this Yanjing City has been managed by the Khitan people for hundreds of years. There are many Xi tribe and Khitan troops in the city. Although we are a team of the Han family, if we want to defend Yanjing City, we must We need to be lenient to the people for the time being. If we want to rob, we have to wait until the inner city is conquered." "Otherwise, if we are not careful, the people in the city will rebel, even if we have [-] soldiers and horses, we will not be able to suppress it."

Pharmacist Guo did not expect that the Protector Army could capture the South Gate so quickly, otherwise he would have been urging Shi Xiuer just now. Now he and the Protector Army are both grasshoppers on the same line. Pharmacist Guo knew that although They have 10,000 soldiers and horses, but this Yanjing City has [-]+ Dingkou. At this time, the residents in Yanjing City were frightened, so they did not organize a resistance for a while, but if the protection army entered the city, Unpopular with the people, the people in the city rebelled, fearing that they would be driven out of the city immediately.

Shi Xiu nodded: "Heroes see the same thing. Thank you, General, for reminding me."

Pharmacist Guo was about to say something when he saw that several missionaries under Shi Xiu had already come over. Shi Xiu turned back and smiled at Pharmacist Guo and said, "Come and see what our notice on peace and security is like."

Pharmacist Guo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that these preachers were holding white notices in their hands. He looked to the side again, and someone opened the curtain next to him and came out. Pharmacist Guo saw the scene behind the curtain at a glance, and then more Shock.

I saw a group of people coming and going inside the door curtain, and some people were printing something constantly.

Shi Xiu had just captured the outer city, but somehow he had already managed to get a large group of people to set up a simple mimeograph device in the house, where they were loudly printing notices of peace and security.

Pharmacist Guo took a look at the notice and saw that it was written very plainly. It simply meant that the protective army would not commit any crime when they entered the city in autumn, and that the people in the city should stay behind closed doors without worrying about waiting for words. In addition, it also required every ten households in the outer city to elect a candidate. An elder came to protect the army gathered here and asked them to calm down the people in the city.

Pharmacist Guo still wanted to remind Lord Protector, but he didn't expect that Shi Xiu had already made preparations.

After all seven gates of Yanjing City were captured by Shi Xiu, the Liao army retreated to the inner city, and Shi Xiu began to plan a long siege.

There are only more than 1000 Liao troops in the inner city, and they will definitely not be able to withstand a long-term siege.

The escort troops who entered the city in the evening knocked on the door of each house and asked everyone to elect a household head tomorrow. They also posted notices on the streets of Tongqu to protect the people. The people spent the night in fear, and the next day they found that nothing happened all night. It seems that the Han army entering the city is not too brutal.

Only then did some people dare to go out. The missionaries in the protection army began to take action early in the morning. They forcibly organized the people in the outer city to elect the heads of each of the ten households and asked them all to come to Shi Xiu's tent for a meeting.

Shi Xiu asked Pharmacist Guo to sit in the position of his deputy, and then distributed the military rations hoarded in the city to the people in front of Pharmacist Guo.

Pharmacist Guo was stunned when he saw the white slips being handed out one by one, allowing him to go to the grain store to get grain and grass. He thought that these troops would rob the city anyway. After all, this was a city that had resisted the protection army. , but I didn’t expect that not only did they not rob, the protective army actually distributed food to the people.

Even not only the Han people, but also the Khitans and Xi people were also distributed according to population.

While shocked, Yaoshi Guo couldn't help but become wary. It seemed that this Shi Xiu was not a simple person.

It is not difficult to think of this trick of distributing food to the people, but it is difficult to actually implement it. And Shi Xiu dared to do this as soon as he entered the city, which shows how strong Shi Xiu is in controlling his army. At the same time, How much power did Sun Xin give him?
