Chapter 3458 is very cunning
Everyone knows that there are very few Guanlong disciples in Zhenguan Academy, the world's best academic institution. Although there are many Guanlong sects who want to send their children to study there, they are all rejected by Fang Jun for various reasons. Outside the door, people are very cautious.
As a result, Nuo University's academy was completely isolated from the Guanlong clan, and even Zhang Sun Wuji couldn't get involved. Under such circumstances, the entire academy from top to bottom did not want to see Guan Long. How could Guan Long not be more vigilant?
The general saw a group of students excitedly walking down the mountain, just in time to meet him. Even though Cen Changqian's words were so exciting, he was still wary in his heart.
Now that I heard that Cen Changqian was willing to act as a pawn, he could not only guard against these students, but also drive them to charge into battle. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Especially everyone in Guanlong is dissatisfied with the academy, and also has a lot of resentment towards the students in the academy. If these students can suffer heavy losses when attacking the foundry bureau, all Guanlong families will definitely be happy, and they will have made a great contribution. Pieces...
The general was ecstatic in his heart, but he still held his face vigorously, nodded and said: "This is very good!"
At the moment, Cen Changqian led five hundred students to go ahead, while more than two thousand rebels followed behind, acting as surveillance, and headed towards the foundry bureau in spite of the heavy snow.
On the way, someone asked Cen Changqian in a low voice: "We are going to guard the foundry bureau. Why are we helping the rebels to capture the foundry bureau? Isn't this not aiding the evil?"
Cen Changqian said: "It's just an expedient measure. The rebels are following behind. Looking for an opportunity later, you secretly leave the team and go to the foundry bureau. Notify in advance..."
The people around me understood and were now walking around Kunming Lake. The lake was open and the wind was howling, mixed with snowflakes, and the wind and snow were blowing hard. Although the rebels followed step by step, it was too easy to escape in this weather. Taking advantage of a strong wind and blowing snowflakes on his face, he could not open his eyes. The man hurriedly crouched down and disappeared in a few short steps. In the vast wind and snow.
……
More than half an hour later, the team finally arrived near the Foundry Bureau.
In the wind and snow, the dam of Kunming Lake is not very visible, but the steel-making blast furnaces built next to the canal at the outlet of the lake rise from the ground. Even in the wind and snow, they still stand there darkly. It looks majestic from a distance.
In spring, summer and autumn, these blast furnaces spit out thick smoke all day long, blocking out the sky and the sun. The molten steel is smelted one after another and the steel ingots are transported away one by one. They carry almost half of the steel output of the entire Datang Dynasty. The other half is located in the Nanshan Mine on the bank of the Yangtze River and on the shore of Niuzhuji.
It can be said that now the entire Tang Dynasty's steel is in the hands of Fang Jun. Whether it is for people's livelihood or military use, Fang Jun is the veritable "King of Steel". The Changsun family, which used to dominate the Tang Dynasty's iron-making industry, has now been bankrupted by Fang Jun, with profits falling again and again, and unable to make ends meet...
The foundry bureau's courtyard wall is not tall, and looks even lower in the wind and snow. It's just that this "low" is compared to the city wall of Chang'an City. After all, it is the production center of the empire's steel and firearms. It can be said to be a powerhouse of military industry. How can it not be fully protected?
Outside the city, water from the Kunming Pool was even used to dig out a moat. However, the weather is freezing and the river has frozen, unable to hinder the rebels from attacking the city...
Cen Changqian led the academy students to the moat. Behind him, the rebels followed step by step, sandwiching the academy students on the left and right.
The general stepped forward and said, "Cen Langjun, does he have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Cen Changqian said proudly: "Why do we need a good strategy? At present, there are only less than a thousand soldiers in the Foundry Bureau, and they have to be defended in all directions. We only need to choose a place to attack with force, and we can break in and achieve great success at our fingertips!"
The general curled his lips, thinking that this was Fang Jun's property, and there were countless firearms in the foundry. If he attacked by force, he would suffer heavy losses. But since Cen Changqian and these young boys don't know how powerful they are, let him charge forward and attract the firepower of the defenders. When these students are almost dead, he can lead his troops to attack again, and he will definitely be able to catch the defenders off guard.
He nodded and said: "In that case, it's not too late to fight now!"
The night is long and the dream is many, so it is better to capture the foundry bureau quickly, and then transport the captured firearms to Chang'an City to take the credit.
Cen Changqian spread her hands and said helplessly: "We are not afraid of death, but we can't rush forward with bare hands, right?"
The general was stunned for a moment and said curiously: "You asked me to find weapons and weapons for you, right? The two thousand or so of us have gathered from various farms. Of course, some of them are government soldiers, but even the manpower We don’t have enough weapons, how can we distribute them to you again?”
Cen Changqian also had a look of surprise on his face: "General, shouldn't you really think that our students are attacking the Foundry Bureau with bare hands?"
The general: "..."
He raised his eyes and looked at this group of students who had high morale and no fear, but also had young faces and gentle manners. He thought to himself that we really shouldn't let people go to war with bare hands. The next best thing would be to die, in case someone charged back and was beaten back. Then it collapsed, wouldn’t it be a pity?
After thinking for a while, he said: "I can give you some weapons, but only three hundred. No more."
He has more than 2,000 people under his command, and evenly distributes the fractions to these students, allowing them to charge into the battle as scapegoats, so that his side can still maintain combat effectiveness.
Cen Changqian is also very talkative: "That's great!"
Immediately, the rebels took off their weapons and handed over three hundred swords, guns, swords and halberds to the students. A team of five hundred people armed three hundred people, and their combat effectiveness immediately increased. It looked like that.
The general waved his hand: "Without further delay, let's start the war quickly!"
Cen Changqian raised a horizontal knife, looked around, and said loudly: "Follow me, don't fall behind, let's rush in!"
The general was clicking his tongue. Why did this sound a little awkward? Also, "don't fall behind". You can't do this even if you die...
Before he could think about it, many students had already agreed. Then Cen Changqian took the lead and rushed toward the high wall of the Foundry Bureau with shouts. Hundreds of students followed closely behind, like a huge wave in the wind and snow. He rushed towards the foundry bureau aggressively.
The military general firmly ordered his surroundings: "The battle will begin in the city later, and the students will suffer heavy losses. Let's take advantage of that moment to rush forward and break through the foundry bureau in one fell swoop!"
"The general's clever calculation is even more powerful than Zhuge Wuhou!"
"Is this the legendary 'strategy'?"
……
The general was stroking his beard with a proud look on his face.
"Bang bang bang"
The students were shouting and charging, and they had already rushed under the high wall. Only then did the guards on the wall fire their muskets and fired randomly. No one was hit, and even the sky shook. Lei couldn't bear to lose one.
The general felt something was wrong...
Then, the students rushed to the gate in a swarm. The gate suddenly opened, and the students poured in like a tide.
The general: "..."
People around me: "..."
I was praising him so much just now, but seeing this situation now, I almost bit my tongue.
What's going on?
Some people reacted slowly and said: "Is this, this, this... so easy? If I had known this, we would have done it ourselves... Oops!"
But he was whipped hard by the general with a riding crop and cursed: "Idiot!"
Then he ignored the elm-headed man and jumped into a rage on horseback: "Mother! You kid actually tricked me! He must have secretly sent someone to inform the foundry bureau that they are basically in the same group! Fuck you guys, follow me Chong, we will capture the Foundry Bureau today and capture Cen Changqian. I will cut him into pieces!”
"Come on, come on, mother! Are you tired of playing tricks on our general?"
"Capture Cen Changqian alive and light a sky lantern for this kid!"
There was a clamor from left and right, and the troops were gathered to charge.
Someone said weakly: "This kid is certainly hateful, but he is Cen Wenwen's nephew. If we light him up as a sky lantern, can Cen Wenwen spare us?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless, and their morale suddenly stagnated.
In the final analysis, Guan Long's actions this time were "military remonstrance" rather than "rebellion". After defying the will of heaven and deposing the East Palace, he cut off his party members. The structure of the imperial court already needs to be maintained, otherwise it will easily lead to chaos in the world. Who will support it at that time? Close the Longmen valve?
Cen Wenwen is not considered a confidant of the East Palace at all, and will definitely continue to hold his original position after the war. As one of the prime ministers and assistants, if he knew that the nephew he raised had been killed, how could he let it go?
The military general was filled with sullenness. He also knew that not only could he not kill Cen Changqian, but he had to be even more careful not to let the boy be accidentally injured and die miserably on the spot. His face turned black with anger and he shouted: "Fuck him, mother! Don't worry about that yet." Cunning little brat, let’s capture the Foundry Bureau first!”
"Here!"
"Come on!" (End of Chapter)
