Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 400 Attacking Terengganu

Xie Zhen led the 150 Special Forces to arrive, followed by five heavy red cannons with a caliber of [-] mm.

This is a steel cannon. If it is cast iron, it would weigh more than 2000 kilograms. The 150mm caliber is the largest caliber cannon of the Cangzhou Army.

Liu Tang proudly led more than a hundred artillerymen. This was the first battle of the artillery battalion.

Under the banner of the Chinese Army, Chai Lin said, "Speak up."

"Yes."

A few soldiers with loud voices approached the city wall about 150 meters with iron horns, and shouted at the top of their voices: "Listen up, the people inside, prefect Chen prefect is plundering the common people, searching for money, the imperial court ordered strict punishment, and the Cangzhou army escorted him to Tokyo to receive punishment." .Now that you are surrounded, laying down your weapons and surrendering is your only way out. Resisting will only lead to death.”

The faces of the soldiers changed when they saw Prefect Chen. These days, they had no mobile phones and no newspapers, and the information they had access to was very limited.Combined with Chen Zhifu's performance of scratching land in the past, the possibility of being severely punished by the court is very high.

Chen Zhifu yelled: "Shoot the arrow, let the arrow go, he is talking nonsense."

Arrows rained down like rain, but the distance was very far, and the occasional arrows from a ladle could not hurt anyone.

The shouting soldier hurriedly retreated, and the shouting ended.

Chen Zhifu and Niu Zongbing stood on the tower to watch. Chen Zhifu said: "Niu Zongbing, do you know those five dark things? Why do you feel that they are dangerous?"

Niu Zongbing shook his head and said, "It's not a catapult or a crouching tiger cannon. I don't know the specifics."

At this time, the gunner was already installed in place. Due to the relatively short distance, he could shoot directly, and the gunner was installed with a solid iron egg.

Chai Lin said: "Brother Luda, after the artillery blasted the city gate. The special forces suppressed the bows and arrows at the top of the city, and you led the heavy armored sword and shield soldiers to rush in and snatch the city gate in one go. After entering the city, you must quickly control the situation."

Lu Da said: "There must be no problem here at Sajia, but I don't know whether Brother Liu Tang's iron pipe works or not."

Liu Tang said: "Great monk, who do you look down on? This is not an iron pipe, but a red cannon."

Ready to load, aim for the city gate.

Taking the torch over, Liu Tang shouted, "I plugged my ears."

People around the cannon quickly blocked their ears.

I heard boom, boom, boom, five loud noises, and five small watermelon-sized cast iron eggs buzzed towards the city gate. This thing is really not accurate, although the gunners have been trained for a long time , but it is too difficult to hit accurately.Of the five shells, one hit the top of the city wall, smashing the parapet with a bang, and the three Xiang troops hiding behind the parapet were immediately sent flying.Another one hit the city wall, and the bricks flew wildly, revealing the rammed earth inside.

The other three finally lived up to everyone's expectations, and hit the heavy city gate, like a landslide and an earth crack, and the solid city gate was shattered into slag.

The power of the artillery cannot be measured by manpower at all, and the city gate was broken.

"Break through, go." Shan Hu cheered like a tsunami.

It took a lot of time to build a city in ancient times, but the defensive effect was very obvious, and it often took thousands of lives to take it down by climbing the wall with ladders.But now it seems that the tall city walls are useless.

The Special Forces team consisted of two people, one carrying a huge shield, and the other holding a Type [-] firecracker, and made a rapid assault, reaching about [-] meters below the city wall.

Bang bang bang, shooting suppressively against the Arrow Rain Type [-] firecracker, and all archers who dared to show their heads were hit.After killing dozens of people, no one dared to shoot an arrow.

Lu Da led an army of [-] to rush in, and the troops inside the city gate were about to block the gate with things.

Lu Da took the lead with a big shovel, clashing left and right, smashing the enemy soldiers away, and the soldiers behind rushed in early.

The shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers cooperated properly, and almost no Xiang army dared to resist.

In front of him, Chen Zhifu fled under the protection of the Xiang army, but was captured by the sword and shield soldiers.

Lu Da said: "Corrupt officials will be taken, and those who surrender will not die."

"Don't listen to them, they are rebellious officials and traitors." Hu Zongbing roared and rushed down from the horse path.

"Boom." There was a loud noise.

The super fire blunderbuss in Dian Zhengnan's hand rang, but the one hundred and ten kilograms of big fire blunderbusses were different. Once they hit one piece, all within a few meters around Hu Zongbing as the center were smashed into a sieve.

"Whoa, whoa, really think of myself as someone." Dian Zhengnan said.

Chai Lin said: "Your hand is too fast. I plan to capture him alive and let him order the Xiang army to surrender."

Dian Zhengnan said, "It's the same even after death."

Lu Da had passed by long ago, picked Hu Zongbing's head in the air, and shouted: "The chief culprit has been executed, surrender to avoid death."

Dian Zhengnan said: "Ever since you married a wife, you great monk has learned to be bad, and you have learned to take credit."

The Xiang soldiers in Dengzhou City were dumbfounded when they saw it. The magistrate was arrested and the commander-in-chief was killed. How can this battle be fought.

One by one, they put down their weapons and surrendered.

Lu Da said: "If you lay down your arms, you are a good brother. Don't worry, you should eat or eat, and you should lead the army or lead the army. Now go back to the camp to accept the adaptation."

Lu Da sent 1000 people to the city to control the four gates of Dengzhou.

Dengzhou is a medium-sized city with a large area, so first control the city gate.

The other Xiang troops had already surrendered, and the next step would be the rogues who took advantage of the chaos in the city.

Dozens of rogues came out to beat the autumn wind and robbed a gold shop. Before they had taken two steps, a rain of arrows nailed them to the ground.

Lu Da led a thousand sword shield soldiers to take down the Xiang army, and Zhang Xiang led a thousand sergeants to patrol the city.

Xie Zhen led two hundred special forces to go straight to the government office, and took control of the government treasury, the family of Lord Chen, the magistrate, and all the officials in the government office.

Chai Lin entered the city too suddenly, and these people didn't have time to escape.

Chai Lin did not embarrass them, and arranged Tongzhi to serve as the magistrate, and other officials at all levels remained unchanged because of the temporary need for stability.

However, all the staff in the treasury were replaced. Prefect Chen committed a heinous crime and committed a lot of crimes, so he withdrew from the Meridian Gate and was beheaded.As for the confiscation of most of his family's property, only a little money and a few carriages were left behind, and they were driven out of Dengzhou City.

Chai Lin asked: "Jie Zhen, where's your cousin? I remember she followed when the city was attacked just now."

Xie Zhen said: "He must have gone to find that Li Dutou, my sister has a violent temper."

Chai Lin said: "You are here to control the situation, I will go to the Yamen to have a look."

The arresting yamen is not far from the government office. When Chai Lin came, hundreds of arresting officers had already been disarmed, guarded by sword and shield soldiers, squatting here one by one.

"Temporarily detain the barracks, and review them one by one. Most of them will continue to be used, except for the heinous ones." Chailin ordered.

"Yes."

Li Dutou is not in the yamen, where the most should be is home.

At this moment, Li Dutou was suffering, Mrs. Gu's sharp knife was on Li Dutou's neck, and the cold blade had pierced the skin.

"The way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heavens spare, how ostentatious you were three days ago, and how miserable you are today. Tell me, how many holes do you want to have on your body?" Aunt Gu asked.

"Sister-in-law Gu, how many times have I told you that the magistrate is interested in your business and asked me to harm you by name?

"Don't make excuses for my old lady. When you framed my old lady, you never thought about today." Mrs. Gu raised her sharp knife and was about to stab her.

Li Dutou said: "It's not as bad as my family, you can deal with me, don't worry about my family."

"I'm not as nasty as you."

At this critical moment, Chai Lin arrived and said, "Wait a minute, Mrs. Gu."

Mrs. Gu quickly received the salute and said, "Thank you brother for saving me."

Chai Lin said: "Although this Li Dutou framed Mrs. Gu, his style of conduct was not bad in the past, and there was no major fault. Now that the situation in Dengzhou is unstable, it is the time to employ people. It is good for Mrs. Gu to show her respect. "

Mrs. Gu took away the sharp knife and said, "My brother saved my life, since my brother said there is nothing wrong with it."

Chai Lin said: "Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for her understanding of righteousness, and please go to the government office to retrieve the property seized by the prefect of Chen."

Mrs. Gu said: "No more, it's all used for my brother's military expenses."

"Nonsense, then our Cangzhou army is no longer a bandit. Hurry up and get it back. If you pay taxes normally, you support brother." Chai Lin said.

Only then did Mrs. Gu take people to pick up the seized items, gold and silver, land deeds, shop deeds and so on.

Why did Chai Lin go to great lengths to rescue Li Dutou, because this is an insider line, belonging to intelligence workers.

After Mrs. Gu left, Chai Lin said, "Li Dutou, do you want to continue to be the capital, or do you want to go home and have a baby?"

Li Dutou said: "Hey, it's hard to do. I almost lost my life. But no matter how difficult it is, you have to keep doing it."

"Okay, then you will be the head of Dengzhou. Take care of the law and order in Dengzhou." Chailin said.

In the evening, camp in Dengzhou Prefecture.The unarmed Xiang soldiers squatted listlessly on the ground, waiting for the meal.

Suddenly, someone with a sharp nose smelled the smell of meat and said, "Why do I smell the smell of meat?"

"What meaty smell, what I smell is crab."

"No, no, you are all wrong, I think it smells like fried small yellow croaker."

"It also smells like stewed yellow croaker."

The Huotou Army of the Cangzhou Army who was talking about it shouted: "It's time to eat. From today onwards, there will be a table for ten people."

The group was already hungry, and they had an inexplicable fight at noon. They became prisoners in a daze, and their weapons were confiscated. Fortunately, their freedom was not restricted.

Those standing guard all around were fierce sword and shield soldiers, each holding a shield and a big knife, with a cold face, as if someone owed them 800 million.

According to the establishment, the Xiang army sent five people to cook for every table of ten people, and they were stunned when they came up.

Poon choi, stewed pork with cabbage, steamed swimming crab, fried yellow croaker, stewed yellow croaker, and basket pancakes.

A veteran said: "It's over, it's over, it's to send us away, otherwise how can we eat so well."

Others were also a little worried.

At this time, Chai Lin, Lu Da, Sun Li and others arrived.

Sun Li said: "Everyone is free to eat. The Cangzhou Army is our own. This battle was provoked by the prefect Chen himself. It will be adapted from tomorrow, and you will often have this kind of delicious food in the future."

A Xiang army said: "Being a soldier eats food, and eats food to be a soldier. General Hu feeds us moldy sorghum pancakes all day long. He is simply not human. Thank you, Mr. Chai."

Everyone saluted together.

Chai Lin said: "Don't be polite, don't be polite, just sit down and eat slowly. There are snacks after meals. I, Chai Lin, always hate to fool people with empty words. A soldier eats food to play his life. We not only have to eat enough , but also to eat well. After eating this meal, you will officially adapt it, with a monthly salary of [-] Wen."

"Well said, thank you Lord Chai."

You can do it, the Xiang army lacks training, they can't fight, but they can cook.

Let's eat, eat and drink one by one.

I can usually eat four pancakes, but today I only ate two at most, because there are too many dishes, which are plentiful and delicious.Large pieces of meat, large pieces of fish, fragrant and delicious.

The dishes and chopsticks were cleared away, and a bowl of cleaned cucumbers was placed on each table, crisp and green.

One stick per person, just eat it.

After they had eaten, the men of the Knife and Shield Battalion ate.Careful Xiang Jun discovered that they also ate the same food.

After dinner, a bonfire was lit on the school grounds, illuminating the night sky.

The leader of the army, Bo, called the names one by one, and the Dengzhou Xiang Army carried out a major reorganization.

"Whoever is willing to stay will receive strict military training tomorrow and become a qualified soldier in the future.

Those who don't want to stay take the salute and leave now. "The master said.

These soldiers were dumbfounded. Some wanted to leave, but they could go nowhere. The traffic is not developed these days, and they all rely on walking.Few are close to home, and most are far away.

There were dozens of people who left, but Lu Da let them go, and before they left, they gave each of them [-] Wen for their travel expenses.

Lu Da was overjoyed and said, "Congratulations to the remaining brothers, we will be a family from now on. We will share the blessings and share the hardships. Come, come, get the money, and each will be rewarded with a tael of silver."

The cashier opened the money box, and there were neatly stacked silver ingots, which were brought back from Japan by caravans.One or two pieces.

Receive one by one according to the size of the military position.Small soldiers are one tael, mid-level officers are like three or four taels, and slightly more advanced officers are 20 taels.After receiving the money and pressing the fingerprint, it is called one's own.

"Okay, okay, very good. From tomorrow onwards, they will be brothers. Sajia Luda will be the chief soldier of Dengzhou, and Sun Li will be the deputy chief soldier."

Just when these soldiers thought it would be a great thing for them to have their salaries increased and their food ready, they discovered that the real suffering had just begun.

Get up early, just after dawn, the disgusting wake-up call is sounded, gather after half a stick of incense, and run.

Each of them carried a [-]-jin big backpack and went back and forth for ten miles, so tired that their legs cramped.

It is absolutely impossible to be lazy.

Luda's ferocious commander-in-chief was following behind, and dozens of soldiers were leading the big wolfhound with its tongue sticking out.

Lu Da scolded people angrily: "What a waste of wood, what a waste of wood. The physical fitness is not as good as that of the Orion woodcutter, and it is hard for each of them to run ten miles."

Sun Li was stunned and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you run this ten-mile load every day or occasionally?"

"This is the appetizer. If you wake up and run ten miles in the morning, it's delicious to eat. Otherwise, if you eat such a good meal, everyone will be fat." Lu Da said.

Sure enough, after breakfast, there will be intense fighting training. After a morning of exhaustion and sweat, I can't wait to lie limp on the bed.

My legs were shaking during lunch.

"Wow, there is something delicious today, big potato goose."

There are two dishes for lunch today, using large porcelain pots, large pieces of potatoes, and small pieces of stewed goose meat, with shredded coriander and chopped green onion, dripping with sesame oil.

The other pot is stewed tofu with cabbage. The tofu with big cabbage and tender tofu tastes great.

Each person has a set of iron rice bowls, including a rice bowl for serving vegetables and an iron bowl for holding staple food.

"Each person has a big bowl of food, queue up to get it, and eat enough." Huotoujun shouted.

After intense training, eating is delicious. No wonder the Cangzhou Army has such good food. With this training intensity, if the food is poor, the soldiers will not be able to sustain it.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket.
