Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

The ten counties of the Bohai Sea include Yangxin, Leling, Dihe, Qici, Putai, Rao'an, Wudi, Yanshan, Nanpi and Qingchi. The administrative seat is Yangxin County.

Not to mention the county guards, general guards, county magistrates, county magistrates, chief clerks and the captains who led the troops in Yangxin City, a group of officials saw that the city was besieged by a large group of people again, and saw that the weapons were even better than the group that came yesterday. Everyone is frightened.

Recruit strong men to guard the city and prepare for siege. The wealthy families in the city also donated money and food, and the children of the family led troops to patrol the streets to guard against the city's small children taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

Outside the west gate of Yangxin City, after interrogation, Zhao Zhen learned that these uncles and thieves were mostly farmers, fishermen, and craftsmen who could not survive. After years of fighting, massive construction projects, heavy military service, corvee labor, no one to cultivate the fields, and two taxes still to be levied, it was really impossible to survive and had to fight.

I don't know how many people are lucky enough to avoid military service. Among these prisoners, there are many thieves who are missing half of their feet.

After selection, those who are good at craftsmanship are formed into a separate team, and there are nine craftsmen and eighteen craftsmen.

There are nine trades: drawing pigs, killing pigs, gelding cattle, breaking walls, extracting money, shaving heads, mending pots, trimming pedicures, and playing drums.

There are eighteen types of craftsmen including gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, rock and wood carving, tile painting, bamboo umbrellas dyeing and peeling, shaving heads and playing patterns and weaving.

There are more than 300 people in total. These people no longer need to go to the battlefield. Zhao Zhen plans to bring them back to the fantasy world and organize them into a craftsman camp. Craftsmen will never starve to death in lean years. Unlike farmers, craftsmen will always receive some preferential treatment.

The remaining prisoners gathered together, and after a good meal, they were organized into thirteen teams according to teams of five hundred. Let the prisoners choose the leader, and then call the thirteen people. Zhao Zhen, supported by a group of heroes, said: "Today, each of you will lead a team and take turns to charge. From the time you charge to the city wall, you will have to wait for at least one day." It takes only a stick of incense to retreat, but before the time is up, whoever retreats will be killed. If there are more than 30 people, they will not move forward and the whole team will be killed."

With that said, he waved a sergeant forward and asked the thirteen temporarily selected teams to each draw a number from the bag. After everyone had finished drawing, Zhao Zhen said: "The number is the order, number one goes up first. ”

More than a dozen big men looked at their respective number plates, and those who drew the first few numbers all had sad faces.

Zhao Zhen said: "Don't worry, I have archers, muskets, and artillery here to cover you. As long as we work together to attack the city and the city is broken, I will have rewards. Anyone who is willing to join our army can stay. From now on, there will be a monthly salary and rewards for military achievements, which will be enough for the whole family. If you don't want to submit, you can leave without any difficulty. "

Thirteen teams gathered together, discussed for a while, and selected one person to come forward, kneel down in front of Zhao Zhen and said: "General, I'm just waiting to pray for life. I'm afraid there will be many casualties for the general's attack on the city today. Please." The general has made an oath, and we will naturally attack the city with all our strength."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate. He immediately broke his arrow and swore an oath, and handed over the captured weapons and armor. More than ten simple ladders left by Li Deyi when he attacked the city were also pushed out. An attacker brought by Zhao Zhen The city ladder was also assembled and handed over to the first team of siege soldiers.

On the top of the city, the soldiers guarding the city had long seen Zhao Zhen forming a military formation. Looking at the sergeants below the city, the captain leading the troops on the city couldn't help but swallowed and said to the county guard in front of him: "Sir, look. The situation below is that the people in the front are all the thief Uncle, and the soldiers behind are fully equipped. It seems that they want the thief Uncle to take the lead."

As he spoke, the captain pointed to the distance and said: "Look there, sir, it seems to be a trebuchet. The ones next to it are probably the same as the trebuchets. They are siege equipment. There are many archers there. Please supervise the people in the city." Big family, prepare your troops and send troops immediately if there is an emergency."

Just as he was talking, Zhao Zhen's camp began to move, and a flying tower in Zhao Zhen's army was seen rising more than 20 feet from the ground. Everyone in the city was shocked when they saw it. Zhao Zhen, Liu Huiniang, and Zhu Wu stood upstairs and looked at the layout of the city. They saw the sergeant on the city wall holding a knife, gun and fork in his hand, standing behind the parapet and looking down from the crenellations. On the city wall, there are many strong men cooking golden juice.

Ling Zhen fired the cannon of the Tianzi Mother, and the cannon flew up and vibrated for half a day. On the drum cart, two big men were shirtless, beating dragon war drums. The other first team of uncles and thieves shouted, raised the ladder, pushed the ladder, and ran towards the top of the city.

Fortunately, Li Deyi's attack on the city yesterday had filled in the moat at the west gate. The city has not been dug again, so the prisoners who attacked the city did not have to brave arrows and soil to fill the river again.

When the first group of siege soldiers held up the door panel, they ran into the city wall and shot. The soldiers on the city raised their bows and fired. Hua Rong directed the bows, arrows and fire guns to fight back. Ling Zhen even directed the artillery capital, pouring ammunition onto the city wall.

The mighty and invincible General Cannon, the Splitting Mountain Cannon, the Weiyuan General Cannon, the Folang Machine Cannon, the Zimu Cannon, and the three newly made Flying Divine Thunders were fired in turn. No one in the city had ever seen such a weapon. The artillery thunder was calculated by Liu Huiniang, and it would not land near the city wall. The thunder struck, and the one who hit it, regardless of the man or horse, was instantly crushed. There were even more projectiles, which overturned the golden juice, and the city was in chaos.

For a moment, the sergeant at the top of the city was so frightened that the two groups fought. If he hadn't been supervising the group behind him, he would have dropped his weapons and ran away. Seeing this opportunity, the uncle thief at the bottom of the city ran forward as hard as he could. When he got to the city, he set up a ladder, held a knife in his mouth, and climbed up while holding the door panel.

On the city wall, under the captain's scolding, the soldiers cheered up and knocked down the soldiers from the city wall with wood, cannon stones, ash bottles, and gold juice.

Gunmen and archers, guarded by sword and shield soldiers, attacked the soldiers exposed on the city wall. Under the cover of artillery, bows and arrows, and firecrackers, especially after the ladder was moved up, the first wave of uncle thieves attacking the city looked like they were about to attack.

When Zhao Zhen saw this, he ordered the second and third teams to rush up. The three teams climbed desperately. Zhao Zhen could see clearly from the ladder that an officer on the city wall was very brave. He held a big knife in his hand and led more than 30 soldiers in full uniform to drive the soldiers who climbed up the city wall down.

Zhao Zhen turned to Liu Hui Niang and said, "Madam, can we use cannons to shoot down this group of people?"

Liu Hui Niang looked at the group of officers and soldiers moving around and said, "If this person doesn't move, you can give it a try."

Zhao Zhen pointed to the place where the flag was hung on the city wall and said, "Madam, look at the flagpole there. Just aim there. When this person walks to the flagpole, I will raise my hand and you will fire the cannon. How about that?"

Liu Hui Niang said, "I will go down and adjust the flying thunder and wait for the flag signal from my husband." As she said that, Liu Hui Niang went down the flying tower and took out the counting chips. After a while, she had calculated it. She set the line according to the distance and position, set up the gun carriage, and waited for Zhao Zhen's flag signal.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen was ready, but this man didn't go to the flag.

The thieves who attacked the city had been rotated to the eighth team. This man led the guards to run around and just didn't go to the flag. When Zhao Zhen was considering whether to re-select a position, he saw a team of government troops coming up from the bottom of the city. Their weapons were much better than those of the soldiers on the top of the city. As luck would have it, this team of soldiers was standing under the flag, and the leaders were giving orders to these people.

Zhao Zhen waved the small red flag in his hand. When Liu Hui Niang saw it, she immediately asked to light the fire and pull the pedal to fire the cannon. Three thunders flew and landed on the flagpole without deviation. With three "booms", the new team of soldiers fell to the ground on the city wall, and the flagpole was broken.

The generals on the top of the city saw it and hurried forward to check. Zhao Zhen quickly waved the red flag in his hand again. Liu Hui Niang urged the soldiers to pull the rope, put the fire mine, and fire the fire mine again. There were three more noises, and the general also fell to the ground, and the resistance on the top of the city wall weakened.

Zhu Wu saw it, and waved the yellow flag in his hand repeatedly. The remaining teams of the uncle's thieves rushed up together, and after a fight, they finally stood firm on the top of the city wall.

Zhao Zhen saw it, and ordered Liu Tang and Bao Xu to lead the team to climb the city wall, and after a charge, they drove the officers and soldiers down the city wall and occupied a section of the city wall.

Afterwards, archers and musketeers also climbed the city wall one by one, shooting arrows and shooting guns at the officers and soldiers under the city. Liu Tang and Bao Xu even killed their way down the horse path to the city wall, killed their way into the city, and opened the city gate.

Zhao Zhen saw it, and asked people to wave the yellow flag of the central army, take the infantry, and rush into the city.

Those who saw the opportunity early escaped from the other three gates.

Unfortunately, the cavalry outside the city had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the escaping officers and soldiers, they rushed in.

When Zhao Zhen entered the city and cleared out the remaining enemies, the uncle thieves also rushed in. Zhao Zhen ordered to drive the soldiers and civilians out of the city, and broke into more than ten houses before finding two hiding soldiers.

After Zhao Zhen asked, he learned that the people in the city, led by the county magistrate, went out of the east gate last night and went north to Wudi County to avoid disaster. In addition to the soldiers, the men left in the city were the men of each family.

It turned out that when Zhao Zhen ambushed Li Deyi yesterday, he was discovered by the spies in the city and led the people away quietly overnight.

After a search, only less than 1,500 soldiers were found in the city. The cavalry intercepted and captured more than 300 people. The rest either died in battle or hid, and many of them climbed the ropes along the city wall and left.

Zhao Zhen asked to open the granaries and government warehouses and clean up the battlefield. Perhaps because they were afraid of alarming Zhao Zhen's group, they left in a hurry yesterday, and there were a lot of food and cloth left in the granaries and government warehouses. There were many good things left in the houses of the rich families in the city. After two days of continuous looting, it was not until Ruan Xiaoer, Shi Jin and his party raided Li Deyi's old nest and brought back Li Deyi's head that Zhao Zhen almost looted Yangxin County.

The bodies of the county governor, Tongshou, county magistrate, and the captain who led the troops were found on the city wall. The county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief clerk led people to escape from the city.

Looking at the horseshoe in his hand, which was already full of cracks and looked like it would collapse at any time, Zhao Zhen ordered to gather the captured government troops and uncle thieves.

There were 1,800 government troops and 4,000 uncle thieves, divided into two groups. After Zhao Zhen asked people to inquire, he explained the situation. Only 300 people were left in the government troops and 1,200 were left in the uncle thieves. The rest of the people confiscated weapons and armor, presented 30 kilograms of food, and were all sent out of the city.

Accompanying the soldiers, captured craftsmen, and captives willing to surrender, Zhao Zhen returned to the main world with his harvest.
