Sliding Feng 112, Sliding Feng Text Chapter 112 Xiancheng (150 monthly tickets are updated, continue to ask for monthly tickets to support)

On this first day of formal battle, although the defenders were injured and even the wounded were left on the battlefield, they had a lot of confidence. The Red Turban Army was just like this (high-quality text first, all in %).

Even with the help of cannons, it was just a draw. The casualties between the two sides were almost the same. It was based on this understanding that an envoy was sent privately to discuss the issue of redemption of the city expenses that night.

This is to regard the Red Turban Army as a bandit. In recent years, pirates have harassed Ruian County and have fired fire to bombard the county town several times, but in the end they still took the money to redeem the city. The messenger sent even mentioned the issue of kickbacks.

The Red Turban Army worked hard to run hundreds of miles to grab territory, but they worked hard to raise the redemption money for the Red Army. They did not make any contributions and made any hard work. Shouldn't Marshal Qu mean it? It's divided into 300-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-

The face of Coach Qu, who thought they were here to surrender, turned pale and almost dragged the messenger out to behead him. He finally stopped his temper: "Let's see you tomorrow!"

The battle the next day was not very good in Shi Tuiji's eyes. The reason was very simple. It was not like today when the two sides fought in front of the formation and fought to the death. It was definitely a one-sided performance between the Red Turban Army and the Ge Wu Artillery Team.

But in Liu Chang's eyes, this three-hour shelling was very time-consuming. After yesterday's audition, both artillery teams developed their own advantages, especially Ge Wuye's several foreign cannons, which simply brought out all their power and blasted the stone wall guarded by the Tuan Yong countless times.

For more than three hours, Liu Chang was smelling the smell of gunfire and seeing how the cannons shattered the stone wall that Tuan Yong was defending. What was even more mixed was Tuan Yong who was guarding behind the stone wall. They passively endured the bombardment of gunfire for half an hour, waiting for the cannons to plow the land again and again. In the end, Tuan Yong, who could not bear it, rushed out of the stone wall, but could not rush out thirty steps, and was bombarded by the lead, solid bullets and grape bullets fired by the cannons.

For the remaining two hours, they almost passively allowed the Red Turban Army to carry out their firepower again and again. In the middle, the Red Turban Army feinted the attack. As a result, the Tuan Yong, who finally stood on the stone wall, ran back under the stone wall without even shooting the white flag.

If this was the city wall, Tuan Yong might have the chance to run into the Tibetan soldiers' cave. But at this time, they had no chance. In the end, the rattan guns entered the wall and seized this piece of stone wall without any suspense.

Afterwards, Liu Chang also went to see the stone wall position bombarded by artillery fire, but he just swept over that scene from afar. He came back in a blink of an eye and never ate meat at noon - although not many people died, even Liu Juehu, who was used to death, could not stand the scene (high-quality text starts, all in %).

The afternoon battle became easy, but in fact it was also monotonous, except that the artillery bombarded and then the infantry attacked. Qu Zhenhan got a few more flintlock rifles from somewhere and formed a team of flintlock rifles. As the core of the entire infantry unit, it was quite a bit like a copycat version of the dragon gun whistle.

However, it is said that the newly-made flintlock rifles cost a sky-high price, and Liu Chang couldn't find out the specific price, but he believed that his purchase price was relatively reasonable - although it was much higher than the retail price in the Shanghai Concession.

In the evening, the envoy of the Ruian squire came out of the city again. This time, the envoy apologized for yesterday's disrespect, no longer mentioned the issue of sharing the profits in the redemption expenses, and even doubled the original ten thousand taels of redemption expenses in one breath.

"Master Qu. Why do you make your brothers suffer more casualties? The 20,000 taels of redemption cost is quite high!"

However, Liu Chang felt that such negotiations would not have any result. This time, Qu Zhenhan mobilized five or six thousand troops to go south. The city redemption fee of 20,000 taels seems to be a lot, but so many people can share a few taels. Such a mobilization force is not enough to make a fortune.

What's more, even if Ruian County can take out 50,000 taels of silver, it is insignificant compared with the gains and losses of the entire Wenzhou Prefecture. Qu Zhenhan, the city of Ruian City, is bound to win.

But he just found that there was one more person next to Qu Zhenhan, who was also a tiger-backed and bear-backed. He looked at the envoy sent by Rui'an City with his eyes upright, and kept some snacks from time to time: "Who is this person? I haven't seen such a person in the Red Turban Army in the past!"

However, both armies were both interested in splitting up, so he was not inconvenient to investigate. Seeing that the two sides were still arguing about details, they immediately left the house and got on the horse and walked back: "Tomorrow is a big show. I wonder if Sun Qiangming would be cruel to burn all the houses and shops outside the city and withdraw all the teams back to the city!"

In today's battle, the Red Turban Army's gunpowder, lead and solid bullets consumed nearly half of the gunpowder, but it was a devastating blow to the morale of the defenders. Continuing to defend the city gate now is just a waste of time.

He was riding on the horse and thinking about this problem, and suddenly someone held the horse: "Check, check, there is a good thing!"

Liu Chang glanced at it and found that it was Shi Tuiji, the newly defected leader of the group. Seeing that his young face was full of joy, he immediately felt that this person was too young and lacked experience, but he forgot that his face was a little younger than Shi Tuiji.

"What's the matter?" He asked Shi Tuiji to lead the horse forward with his horse: "Tell me!"

Except for the few personal soldiers who Liu Chang had believed in, there was no one around him. Shi Tuiji made a gesture. The personal soldiers immediately spread out on both wings tactfully, and stared at Liu Chang around (high-quality texts first, all in %).

Shi Tuiji lowered his voice and said, "Check, what you asked me to contact is clear and clear!"

Liu Chang immediately smiled on her face: "Is it the Taiwan boat business? Very good!"

He now owes a powerful force from the sea, but Shi Tuiji lowered his voice, pointed to Ruian City in the distance in the night, and continued to lower his voice: "It's Tai Yong in the city! They are willing to revolt in front of the formation like me, as long as they check, they can give a good price!"

Liu Chang almost fell off the horse. He stopped the horse, and then carefully jumped off the horse with the help of Shi Tuiji, pressing his finger on his lips: "Taiyong in the city?"

He found it incredible that the mercenaries of this era, whether Tai Yong, Min Yong or Chao Yong, lack basic professional ethics, but they barely abide by the principle of collecting money and working hard for others. Now Ruian City is in danger, Sun Qiangming will definitely pay a lot of money on this group of combat-capable Tai Yongs.

How could these Taiyangs betray the most basic professional principles and turn to themselves after receiving Sun Qiangming a large sum of money: "Good price? How much do they want?"

Shi Tuiji stretched out a finger, and Liu Chang understood: "Ten thousand taels? We can't afford this amount."

Shi Tuiji shook his hand and lowered his voice: "It's only 1,000 taels, it's fine to replace it with silver balls, 1,400 silver balls!"

The price of selling the employer is too low. Three hundred people only have 1,400 silver dollars and are willing to invest in it. They will not be like Min Yong who bought by Qu Zhenhan. They are ready to surrender on the surface, but when they start, they will make a big mistake: "1,400 silver dollars? This number can also be a good price!"

"It's much more than I got from Sun Qianming."

When is it now? Is Sun Qianming so stupid? "The three hundred of them have not yet obtained 1,400 silver dollars from Sun Qianming."

"Nine hundred silver dollars!" Shi Tuiji had confirmed: "Three hundred Taiyong took nine hundred silver dollars in his life. Whoever is willing to work hard for Sun Qianming is an idiot."

What was going on with this matter? Even the parties involved only learned the truth a long time later.

This group of Tai Yongs had a relationship with Sun Qianming through Xu Muqian's relationship. At that time, Xu Muqian had an agreement with them and hired them to help defend the city with 2,700 silver dollars.

There are 300 people in their name, and there are only 2340 real numbers. If they spread to each person, they can get almost ten silver dollars, and the leader can make some money. However, the general battles to defend the city will not exceed one hundred years, which is a good deal.

However, Xu Muqian had just concluded the deal and was forced to commit suicide in Hai'an City. The next group of Tai Yongs lost strong support in the city and suffered a great loss.

Sun Qiangming was an old bureaucrat who had guarded Guilin City. He knew that military pay must not be deducted, so he honestly approved 2,700 silver dollars. However, when the money was collected from the account, only 1,700 silver dollars were left. Then he deducted it layer by layer, and the leader Tai Yong was left with only 1,100 silver dollars.

Seeing that the deduction was too much, the leader of Tai Yong wanted to make a fuss, but was afraid that he would not have the support of the local tyrants, so he could only pinch his nose and get two hundred silver dollars as ministers' money, and the remaining nine hundred silver dollars were distributed to the brothers below.

However, the cannons outside the city were earth-shaking, and Tai Yong's mind in the city also changed a lot. The combat power of this Red Thief is so terrible that he will definitely kill the city to fight to the death.

The Sun family only paid three silver dollars in life for a single life, and they didn't care about food or food. Who would be willing to work for him? Therefore, as soon as Shi Tuiji went to contact him, he immediately hit it off.

"As long as they are willing to find 1,400 silver dollars, they are willing to retreat from the wall they defend!" Shi Tuiji also said: "You can act tonight!"

Liu Chang originally had little confidence in the Dragon Spear Camp to capture Ruian City. He didn't have the cannons of Ge Wuye in his hands, so how could he have snatched the Red Turban Army? Besides, this time he went south, he was too popular, so there was no need to compete with Qu Zhenhan for the first time.

But if God doesn't take it, he will suffer the consequences. This Ruian County is considered a big county town. Not to mention anything else, the county treasury should not have less money. If you take the lead in rushing into such a county town, you can at least make 10,000 or 20,000 more silver.

His eyes turned and asked Shi Tuiji: "Tiji, are you familiar with this county town?"

"Crafted!" Shi Tuiji immediately reacted: "I am so familiar with the top big merchants and big shops in the city that we can send troops to protect us immediately after entering the city!"

Sending troops to protect is just an excuse, and borrowing a huge sum of money from them is the purpose. Liu Chang nodded: "That's not going to be a crime!"

He jumped onto the horse again: "Go back to the camp immediately and tell them, I will make up the number for them and give them 1,500 silver dollars!"
