I am the carpenter king

The rain has listened, and the long-lost sun appeared in the sky, and the soldiers who stayed still embarked on the journey again.Sitting on the horse, Sun Chuanting looked gloomy and looked back from time to time. Every time he looked, a wrinkle appeared on his forehead.

Yuan Keli on one side rode unsteadily on his horse, looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile, and said in a brisk tone: "Master Sun, after the new rain in the empty mountain, why are you so sad?"

"Master Yuan is very interested, and I don't know how Chengdu is now. The people I saw a few days ago said that Chengdu is besieged. If Chengdu loses, it will be terrible." The speed of the march has been reduced, otherwise we would have arrived in Chengdu by now.

Gently shaking his head, Yuan Keli said in a rather relaxed tone: "If you are worried about this, then General Sun's heart should be put in your stomach for the time being! Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Wanli. This old man is Today, in the 17th year of Wanli, I once pointed out Zhu Xieyuan's articles, and we are considered good friends. I still know Zhu Xieyuan quite well, and he is talented. No, but there is no problem in keeping Chengdu."

After hearing Yuan Keli's words, Sun Chuanting raised his eyebrows, this Yuan Keli really gave him something to say.As if there is no one in this world that he doesn't know, having this person by his side makes everything very convenient.The relationship between Zhu Xieyuan and Yuan Keli is already very solid. Although they were not in the same year, Yuan Keli can be regarded as half of Zhu Xieyuan's teacher. [

Although the sadness on Sun Chuanting's face was slightly reduced, it didn't go away, and the brows were still quite gloomy.

"Master Sun, don't forget that there is not only Zhu Xieyuan in the city of Chengdu, but the King of Shu is also in the city. The King of Shu is quite popular in the local area, and the palace has guards. They are all elite soldiers! It is not a problem to defend Chengdu. Chengdu The city wall is tall, relying on the rebels from Sichuan, I'm afraid they won't be able to take it down in half a year." Yuan Keli smiled lightly, his face brimming with a bit of complacency.

Ever since receiving the imperial decree from Emperor Tianqi, Yuan Keli has always been in a good mood. This time, he will be able to go to court after returning from his meritorious service.Having been idle at home for 26 years, Yuan Keli felt very depressed, and now it is time for the sea to leap.The sky is high and birds can fly.

Looking at the high-spirited Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting suddenly had an illusion, as if he was an old man and Yuan Keli was a young man instead.Smiling and shaking his head, Sun Chuanting shook off those unrealistic fantasies, and said in a deep voice, "Master Yuan, shall we hurry up? Those people behind will leave by themselves?"

Since entering the border of Sichuan, Sun Chuanting encountered the Ming army from time to time, some were reinforcements, and some were defeated.Of course, the equipment was poor, and some of them looked like beggars. Sun Chuanting couldn't imagine how such a team would fight.On the contrary, Yuan Keli never tires of doing it, and gathers these people together every time.It seems that it is ready to use this joy to fight.

With a playful smile, Yuan Keli nodded appreciatively, stroked his beard lightly, and said, "Those people are useful. After all, we only have 2 people. Those people can gain momentum since they stay. The most important thing is if we Wherever you want to take down, you can leave them to garrison there, otherwise the city defense will be empty. Bandits will be rampant, and there will be chaos."

Looking at Yuan Keli with admiration, Sun Chuanting clasped his fists with a serious face and said, "Master Yuan is farsighted, Mr. Sun is ashamed of himself, he has been taught!"

Seeing Sun Chuanting's serious face, Yuan Keli was relieved. Sun Chuanting is now his boss.Hope it doesn't make him feel like he's overstepping.Seeing Sun Chuanting's expression, Yuan Keli felt that he was a very nice person.It is not easy to have such a bearing at a young age and in a high position.

"Master Sun is just joking. Small tricks can't make it into the hall of elegance." Yuan Keli waved his hand casually, and said modestly.

After thinking about it with his head down, Sun Chuanting's face gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't know what Master Yuan's plan is for this attack? How do you think we should attack?"

"Master Sun, don't ask me this question, don't you have a plan in mind?" Yuan Keli looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile, his beard curled up and his eyes were full of complacency.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Chuanting patted his forehead, and said in a bitter tone, "You can't hide anything from Mr. Yuan. I do have a plan, and that is to attack."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After pondering for a while, Sun Chuanting asked in a deep voice, "It's just Mr. Yuan, where should we attack first?"

"The old man asked the guide. There are two counties in front of us, one is Anle and the other is Lezhi. These two counties have been occupied by the rebels. What we have to do is to recover them." Yuan Keli glanced at Sun Chuanting , said with a smile, his tone was unusually brisk, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

Nodding his head slowly, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Let's use the rebels from these two places to test the water and see if we can beat it."

Talking all the way, two hours later, this group of people arrived at the gate of An Le.Looking at the so-called county seat in front of him, Sun Chuanting really didn't know what to say.The city wall was piled up with soil fences, and the city gate had a big hole, and Sun Chuanting was not interested in the slightest bit.

Glancing at Yuan Keli on one side, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Master Yuan, this expedition is the emperor's intention, so we can only win it. How about letting you fight the first battle in Sichuan? This is the first achievement." !"

"What's the head skill?" Glaring at Sun Chuanting fiercely, Yuan Keli showed his reluctance on his face. Commanding such a battle is really boring.Turning around and beckoning, Yuan Keli said to Sun Chuanting: "We still need to do this kind of thing? It's really too big to be useful." [

Looking at the people who came over, Sun Chuanting shook his head lightly, feeling some admiration for Yuan Keli in his heart.

"As for Zhang Jian, I want to ask you, how many people do you have under your command?" Yuan Keli straightened his face, looked at Zhang He who came over, and said with a rather serious expression.

"My lord, I command 1 horses in humble positions!" Zhang He is the commander of the fourth rank, and although he is not as valuable as Jin Yiwei, he is also a pro-military.However, when facing Yuan Keli, he was still inferior. After all, he was not a Jinyiwei, so he still had to be restrained by civil officials.

Slowly nodded, Yuan Keli took a serious look at Zhang He, and said in a recognizable tone: "Mr. Zhang Jian, this first battle in Sichuan is really too important. After discussing with Mr. Sun, I decided to let you fight it." I hope you will not disappoint the trust of Master Sun and the old man, and take down Anle County in front of you."

Zhang He immediately looked excited, and clasped his fists at Yuan Keli, and said loudly: "Master Xie, I'll go prepare for the humble job."

Rolling his eyes at Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, "Zhang Jianshi commanded 1 horses, it's really a big talent but a small use."

Gently shaking his head, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Master Sun, that's not what you said. Zhang Jian's business is about commanding Jian's business. This kind of battle is naturally more suitable for him."

In Anle County, She Chongming stationed 3000 men, all of whom could be considered the elite of his army.The person in command of this team is called She An, a cousin of She Chongming, who is standing on the top of the city at this time.

Seeing the colorful flags fluttering under the city, and the Ming army running back and forth in the army, She'an knew that this Ming army was very elite.The most important thing is that I have 3000 people, but I can't bear the encirclement and suppression of the army, those are meaningless at all.

Looking back at his guard, She'an's face was very ugly, he calmed down his voice, and said in a deep voice: "After the fight starts, you must go to Chengdu to deliver a letter to the king! Tell the king about the situation here, it would be good to send troops for reinforcements."

"Don't worry, general, I'll go down and do it now!" The man nodded and left quickly.

Looking at the city in front of him, Zhang He felt quite disdainful in his heart, but he still had to fight to know, so he had to be careful beforehand.He found ten thousand households under his command, and finally felt that there was no need for any strategy, and he just rushed in.

"My lord, I'm ready! Let's start!" Zhang He came to Yuan Keli's side, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice.

Slowly nodding his head, Yuan Keli said with a smile, "Let's do it!"

With an order, under the leadership of a thousand households, a thousand Ming troops began to run towards the city.

"Master Yuan, don't we use artillery here?" Looking at the soldiers rushing past, Sun Chuanting frowned and asked hesitantly.

"Master Sun, there is no need for such a place. We will fight too many battles in the future. There are also many places that need artillery, so we can save [-] points!" Yuan Keli smiled indifferently, and said casually.

The battle progressed quickly, and with a huge explosion, the entire city gate was blown to pieces, turning the city gate into a big hole.This kind of order-style explosive pack, a new product of the firearms factory, is very powerful.

The gate of the city was opened, and groups of Ming troops rushed into the city quickly.Shouts of killing suddenly sounded in the city, and the screams were endless.

The battle started and ended even faster. The [-] defenders in the city died and surrendered. The whole battle took less than half an hour.Seeing the Ming army sweeping the battlefield, Sun Chuanting smiled sadly and said, "It's too easy to make people feel like rivals in love!"

Yuan Keli was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly.

They didn't stay here too long, and the team arrived at the next county, Lezhi County, two hours later.In the same battle process, Lezhi County had [-] defenders, but it didn't take much effort. [

After recovering Lezhi, it was getting late, so Sun Chuanting ordered the whole army to rest in Lezhi and rush to Chengdu early tomorrow morning.Having gone through these two battles, the Ming army was as powerful as a rainbow, and it was obvious that they were ready to show their talents.
