Chapter 447: War
In the past two days, Zhu Wu and Liu Huiniang were busy selecting soldiers and organizing military supplies.
Hu Sanniang and Chen Liqing naturally heard about it. They found Zhao Zhen and wanted to go with them.
Zhao Zhen refused and said to the two of them: "Madam, our foundation is Liangshan Prefecture, and we are also here to help in this foggy world. Let's not care about anything else, but this weather alone is unbearable. One Accidentally, there are cases where fingers and toes are lost due to frostbite, or even limbs are amputated. I heard that there are also people who lose their ears due to frostbite.” br>
Chen Liqing curled her lips and said: "Husband, if you don't want me to go with you, just say it. Why lie? I heard from Hui Niang that you had people make several battle robes out of guncotton cloth and give them to the commander-in-chief." The sergeant also has a sheepskin coat and a wolfskin mattress. How can his fingers and toes be frozen?”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen stepped forward, took the two of them into his arms, and said: "Hey, even with this kind of protection, there are still some areas that cannot be protected. In addition to these, [Miracle Doctor] An Daoquan also prepared chilblain ointment, which is also available in the treasury. With ten carts of spirits to keep out the cold, it was impossible to set up a camp in this weather, so we had to use it. The carriages are thickly arranged in a circle, and the camp is small. It is even more inconvenient to bring a female rider. I will take you there next time."
It has been a busy two days, and the sergeants and baggage have been prepared. Well, early that morning, Zhao Zhen took a group of chariots and horses and sergeants back to the main world.
When Zhao Zhen arrived, Gao Hu, Gao Yuan and others had also arrived.
I saw that the drying field was crowded with horse and infantry sergeants, all of them were sturdy men. He is strong and strong, and he is capable of fighting well at a glance. Especially the huge carriages, artillery and other objects pulled by thirty Sharma horses made Gao Yuan feel relieved. After all, neither Gao Hu nor Zhao Zhen were optimistic about this operation, and Gao Yuan was worried that Zhao Zhen would have reservations.
After seeing the ceremony, Gao Yuan did not waste any time and took out the [Hai Qu Lu Mu] key to the mist world. The power of time and space covered it, and in an instant, everyone moved into the mist world.
When I opened my eyes, the silence of the wilderness was broken by people shouting and horses neighing.
Zhao Zhen looked at this misty world on the horse. A thick layer of snow under his feet just covered the horse's hooves. The sky was filled with lead-colored clouds, and a biting cold wind was blowing. Zhao Zhen took a breath of cold air, the weather he least expected to encounter finally happened. Looking around, I saw a city in the distance to the west.
Zhao Zhen was about to speak when Gao Yuan shouted anxiously: "Brother, sister-in-law, what should we do with the weather now?"
Zhao Zhen looked around and saw a vast expanse of white. Fortunately, it was morning. It was expected, Zhao Zhen said: "Now that we are here, let's attack the city. It's better to go back in despair."
Gao Hu also said: "Even though we have strong soldiers and horses, how can we be willing not to try."< br>
The three of them had decided on their plan, and Zhao Zhen asked Wang Tianba and Tang Bin to lead the cavalry army first, both to explore the road and to prepare for a surprise attack in the city.
Wang Tianba and Tang Bin listened to the order, mounted their horses and took a detour to the north of Haiqu County.
Gao Hu's men were all infantry, and they drove the carriage behind them. Zhao Zhen led the infantry at the end.
As soon as everyone started to take action, they saw smoke burning on the city wall. Ji Minghan said beside Zhao Zhen: "Husband, in this weather, why don't you go to the nearest city gate and instead take a detour to the north gate?"
Zhao Zhendao : "It's windy from the north today. Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it will snow. Follow the wind and snow, and the view will always be better. Looking at the weather, whether we can capture this city is only today and tomorrow. If we can't capture it in two days, I will I can only go back later.”
Seeing Ji Minghan's confusion, Zhao Zhen said: "Now the snow can reach the top of the feet. If there is another heavy snowfall, it will become more and more inconvenient to move. Even if we camp in the wild, people and horses will not be able to carry it."
It seemed that Zhao Zhen's words were serious. After hearing this, Ji Minghan stopped talking, lowered his head, and walked on silently.
Liu Huiniang, who was wrapped up tightly, said: "The officials have brought artillery to attack the city. As long as a section of the city wall can be destroyed, we will win. If we cannot destroy the city wall and gate in two days, we will win." It’s impossible to climb up in this weather.”
Everyone stopped three stone’s throw away from the city wall. Zhao Zhen asked people to unload all the carriages and roughly surrounded the camp.
Looking at the soldiers and warriors standing on the top of the city, with hammers, cannon stones, ash bottles, and gold juice all being prepared in an orderly manner, Zhao Zhen said to Gao Hu and Gao Yuan: "Two Brothers, it is difficult to move in this weather. I am afraid that the ladder ants will not be able to climb the city. I have brought artillery and thunder to blast through the city wall. , everything is easy to say. If it doesn't work, I will have to go back tomorrow at most. "My sister-in-law said, I brought eight catapults and went forward together today while the sergeant was still cold. Attack the city wall with all your strength. My sister-in-law has already attacked the city, and I will follow my brother-in-law’s arrangements today.”
After hearing this, Gao Yuan quickly said: "It all depends on my sister-in-law."
Zhao Zhen did not refuse, and immediately asked Wang Tianba and Tang Bin to divide into two groups and go around. City inspection.
If you encounter a large group of soldiers leaving the city, there is no need to fight. You only need to report the news in advance and let the camp be prepared.
Wang Tianba and Tang Bin listened and followed the order.
Zhao Zhen then asked Ling Zhen to lead his men to mount three powerful cannons to the two arrows in front of the city gate, and fire the cannons at the city gate. Twenty flying divine thunders were also set up and placed to the left of the city gate. Liu Huiniang personally planned to bombard the city.
Gao Hu brought eight catapults and placed them to the right of the city gate.
The ram cart, hook cart and ladders were all set out. Li Kui, Li Gun and Xiang Chong led the troops and stood in front of three formations respectively.
The allocation has been decided, and everyone stepped forward.
Zhao Zhen said to Li Kui: "Tianniu, do you dare to step forward and call for formation?"
Li Kui laughed and said, "My lord, why don't you dare to do this? I just don't know what to say?"
After hearing this, Zhu Wu said to Li Kui, that's all.
Li Kui heard this and said: "This is simple."
With that said, Li Kuiqing walked towards the city gate with two axes in his hands. Li Gun and Xiang Chong saw it and quickly took the regiment cards and stepped forward to protect them.
I saw Li Kui standing at the foot of the city and shouted: "Listen, people in the city, because it is cold today, grandpa and others are going to the city to keep warm. Open the city gate quickly. If you dare to say anything, , I told you to take my grandfather’s axe.”
After hearing this, the county magistrate on the city said to the county captain and county magistrate beside him: "You two, these strong soldiers outside the city don't look like the Tiger Army led by Mother Lu. Do you know where the strong men come from?"< br>
After hearing this, the county lieutenant stuck his head out from behind the female wall and shouted to Li Kui and the others: "Where did it come from?" Grass bandits? You dare to disturb the city of Daxinchao, do you know that you are impatient?"
Li Kui laughed and said: "Master Liangshan [Black Tornado], hurry up and open the city. Door."
The three county magistrates in the city looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
The county captain said: "My lord, county magistrate, I will go and meet him. If I can kill this man in the city, I can also dampen the spirit, and this city will be easy to defend."
The county magistrate said: "No, the weather is like this, and the rebels below can only hold on for a few days. As long as we guard the city wall, we are not afraid of these rebels staying for a long time."
