Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 148 The Battle to Seize the City ([-])

Regarding the sect of Tang Sect, Zhu Gan had no fear in his heart, but was more curious. He had come across various martial arts novels in his previous life. Its hidden weapons and poison were two unique skills that were unrivaled in the world.

However, the first thing Sun Chengzong did when he came to Sichuan today was to invite the big men of the Tang Sect to hold a banquet. He began to pay attention to Tangmen's every move.

It’s okay if I don’t check, the more I search, the more I find that the Tang Sect is huge, such a large and low-key sect, I thought he was a Jianghu sect before, I guess I was mistaken by his fame, really One leaf can't see Mount Tai.

The Chengdu that Zhu Gan wanted was a complete city, not only the city but also the hearts of the people, and there was enough time, so he didn't order the artillery to be fired, but instead kept stationing troops outside the city, besieging the city covetously.

Looking at the soldiers of the Sichuan army busy running around the city, it has been more than a month since the siege, but there is still no movement in the city. I don't know if the king of Shu has made a move or the governor of Sichuan is too capable. In short, he Zhu Gan has already come to this place, so he has to take down Chengdu Mansion quickly, otherwise the foundation will be unstable and it will be difficult to cope with the next siege.

The soldiers on the side were recruited and asked: "We are surrounded by three and one is missing. Is there no movement in this Chengdu mansion?"

The soldier who was questioned by Zhu Gan stuttered and didn't know what to say. It was the first time he saw Zhu Gan at such a close distance, and he seemed extremely excited. His legs were swinging, and he stammered, "Little one." I don't know, little..."

The commander who followed Zhu Gan kicked him on the buttocks, and said angrily, "You are so rigid, the commander is asking you something! What does it look like to stammer."

"Presumptuous!" Gongsun Yang took a step forward, kicked the commander's foot, kicked him a bit, and said sharply, "Do you want to rebel?"

The soldiers who followed Zhu Gan all stared at him, waiting for Zhu Gan's order, they were going to arrest him for questioning.

"Okay, put everything away." Seeing the frightened commander, Zhu Gan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, helped him up himself and said, "I know you are doing it for his own good. As the saying goes, a filial son is born under a stick, and there is even a saying that a good man comes out of a stick. I know that what you call beating is love, but although they are your subordinates, they are comrades-in-arms after all, and they should be more gentle in the future..."

Patting him on the shoulder, he led the people to another place. When he met such a fool who didn't know the timing, there was nothing useful to ask in this place, and Zhu Gan didn't intend to spend too much time here. Delayed, began to inspect other places.

When Zhu Gan walked away, the commander-in-chief of the two idiots chuckled, slapped the little soldier forcefully, and said with a laugh: "Did you hear what my lord said, beatings are about kissing and scolding or love, so I know you bastards." Lack of love, we will get close and close in the future."

"Hey! Whoever gets close to you, go away." The soldier stopped stammering at this time, and said dissatisfiedly, without any concept of superiority and inferiority. If Zhu Gan saw this scene, he would definitely be very upset. Happy to praise, his soldiers are good soldiers, and his generals are also good generals.

"If you talk about the weirdness, it's that there are fireworks on the top of the city every day, and they are all different. I guess they are notifying the soldiers outside the city!" One person said calmly after seeing Zhu Gan.

Zhu Gan nodded. It is absolutely abnormal to say that such a thing is called an accident. It is perfectly normal to light up the beacon smoke to notify the movement in the city, but the beacon smoke is also released too frequently. And there was no response from outside the city at all.

Suddenly Zhu Qian's heart tightened, he seemed to have grasped something, no wonder he felt uneasy these days, and immediately ordered: "Beat the three-tone drum, summon the generals above the commander-in-chief to discuss matters, and the sergeant commanders of all ranks will temporarily command the troops. "

After finishing speaking, a group of inexplicable soldiers were left behind, and rushed back to his command tent. He didn't expect that no one would find the problem with such an important matter. Worst defeat ever.

Therefore, Zhu Gan had to be cautious to ensure that there was no loophole that could be exploited by the Ming army in the city.

In the crowded tent, there are fierce generals like clouds, but it is a pity that there is a lack of such talents as counselors and civil affairs. Zhu Gan looked at the expectant eyes of the crowd, sighed in his heart, and then put aside his thoughts, and said seriously: "I tell you a piece of bad news. If the siege continues like this in a daze, within three days, the red-clothed army will definitely return in a disastrous defeat, and the entire army may even be wiped out."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, and many generals stood up in shock. They knew that Zhu Gan would say such a remark, and it was definitely not alarmist talk, let alone a joke to adjust the atmosphere. Then there must be his basis.

Many people wondered whether it was because they didn't do well in some areas that made Zhu Gan come up with such an idea, but no matter how hard they thought, they didn't know where the problem was. I'm doing what I'm told!Never dare to be careless.

Looking at the bewildered expressions of the generals, Zhu Qian had complicated thoughts. Chemical warfare existed long ago in ancient times, but after all, there were too few and no traces to be found, so it was difficult to associate with it. As for the low-key Tangmen, it is estimated that except for some People in the rivers and lakes have never heard of it.

You must know that most of your generals, before joining the Red Army, were farmers facing the loess and their backs to the sky. Even if they had some knowledge, they were poor and wanted to change. After fleeing famine and becoming refugees, their wanderings increased So what you see.

The voice was low, overwhelming the whispers of the crowd, and said very seriously: "Okay, don't talk anymore, let you come, just tell you, remember what I said today..."

In the spacious commander's tent, after some deliberation, Zhu Ganzai carefully analyzed some knowledge about chemical warfare. A discussion turned into Zhu Gan's speech, and these generals also listened extremely carefully, fearfully Missing a word, this group of unruly warriors behaved like children in front of Zhu Gan.

On the top of the city, the guards of the Shu Palace guarded a person. This person was wearing a white gown with a round neck and narrow sleeves, a wide belt around the waist, and black buckskin boots. She was dressed like a man, but her wasp waist Buttocks, Miaoman's figure fully exposed her identity.

As soon as this person climbed the city wall, all the generals lowered their eyelids, not daring to look at her face. They were ordered. The princess in the Shu Palace, who dares to be presumptuous in front of her, doesn't want her head anymore. This princess is not squeamish. Bad habits, and occasionally care about them, these golden words are better than any other panacea, and warm people's hearts.

But one thing is that this group of generals suffered a lot. Every day they burned some weeds mixed with dry and wet on the city. Although they all looked at the direction of the wind, the occasional smell was still very choking.

What makes people feel even more unlucky is that they not only have to be smoked every day, but also have to smell the ointment sent by the princess. I don’t know what it is. It is contained in a beautiful small porcelain bottle. , but the taste almost made them spit out the overnight meal every time, it was torture.

Today, when the princess went up to the top of the city, all the generals lowered their eyebrows and were sympathetic, not daring to look around casually.

But the princess was lying on the side of the wall, watching the city from the gap, and asked softly: "How many days has it been? Is the dose of medicine enough?"

"If you go back to the princess, the amount of medicine is probably less, but if you fight, I'm afraid you will have an attack!" In the crowd, an old man with white hair and a childlike face stood up energetically and said with a smile.

"Okay, that's good. The overall situation is settled. It depends on whether the general of the red-clothed army makes any moves." Zhu Pingnan lightly tapped on the wall, but suddenly his eyes widened.

I saw the red-clothed army packing up their things neatly and orderly, and began to retreat slowly. All the soldiers in the city looked at the faded red-clothed army in puzzlement, and looked at Zhu Pingnan one after another. In other words, the princess really had a clever plan, and the red army retreated.

Stared at by everyone's adoring and inquiring eyes, Zhu Pingnan felt light all over his body, with an indescribable joy, his white cheeks were dizzy, and he had a special charm. He coughed twice, and calmly said: "The red-clothed army has After retreating three miles, they must have known the mystery. At this time, they are prepared, and the retreating camp is not chaotic at all. It is not suitable to go out of the city. It is more likely that they will set up a trap to prevent us from attacking the barracks at night, so we will do nothing for these two days. Look at the direction of the wind and burn a bigger fire."

Listening to Zhu Pingnan's order, all the generals hurriedly responded, don't want Yin Zi's flattery, Zhu Pingnan became more and more proud, who said that women are not as good as men, the red-clothed army who can't help it in this big world, isn't it? To carry it to his Zhu Pingnan.

Satisfied with his vanity, Zhu Pingnan gave some orders and led the crowd down the city wall. At this time, some civil officials, including the prefect of Chengdu and the chief envoy, paced up to the top of the city. They sneered at women leading soldiers. However, there is a Qin Liangyu in the imperial court, but she is the chieftain's mother-in-law, which is another matter, but this Zhu Pingnan is the princess, and only the King of Shu will let her mess around.

If it was normal, this group of civil servants would definitely go to the court and read the book of the King of Shu. It would be a felony if they didn't know etiquette. The last time they would patrol the city after Zhu Pingnan left.

Now that Zhu Pingnan's strategy has taken effect, this group of civil servants is even more unhappy, and each of them looks like a scapegoat. Seeing this, this group of big-headed soldiers glared at them one after another, as if they were fighting against each other.
