"Master of the Ministry of War!" One by one, all the battalion and company officers in the tavern stood up. Many of them raised their right hands in a military salute. There were also some people who knelt on the ground with their knees bent involuntarily.

"Master Bingbu, we miss you!"

"Master of the Ministry of War, I kowtow to you."

"Master of the Ministry of War, you are making the decision for your humble position. The imperial court treats us as human beings."

"..."

The army is actually an officialdom. Losing a supporter in the officialdom is like a child without a mother. Now that they saw Shi Kefa, everyone was so excited that tears filled their eyes. These battalion and company officers were all soldiers brought out by Shi Kefa. Old

When the subordinates saw the old leader, they were filled with bitterness and wanted to pour it out.

"Okay, okay! It's good to see that you are all right." Shi Kefa walked along. When he saw those who were saluting, he patted his shoulders. When he saw those who were kneeling on the ground, he touched his head and grabbed his collar and pulled himself up. When he saw those who were crying, he helped them.

Wipe your tears and cry yourself too.

"Master of the Ministry of War!" Seeing Shi Kefa wipe his tears, the junior officer shed more tears. It was like a child who had been wronged by his stepmother for many years and saw his biological mother.

"Why are you crying? Our Nanjing Forbidden Army shed skin and flesh without falling behind, and shed blood and sweat without shedding tears. Isn't it just that we have suffered some grievances? Is it more difficult than when we fought hard in Wanghaizhai? Hold back the horse's urine, otherwise it will not be me, Shi Kefa

Soldiers." Shi Kefa looked majestic, and the young officer held back his tears immediately.

"Brothers!" Shi Kefa stepped on a stool and stood on a table, his body as straight as a javelin. His eyes glanced at the surrounding Nanjing Forbidden Army officers like a chainsaw!

There were faces full of excitement in his eyes, and looking at Shi Kefa was like seeing a savior in danger.

"Brothers, you are all soldiers led by me, Shi Kefa. Many of you followed me and fought through the blood and fire of Wanghai Village. In the past six months, you have been wronged, and it is my fault, Shi Kefa.

I, Shi Kefa, want to apologize to my brothers." After Shi Kefa finished speaking, he bowed downwards. Then he straightened up and bowed in another direction.

"Lord of the Ministry of War!"

"Commander!"

In the tavern, the cups and plates tables were crowded and all the young officers fell to their knees.

"Now the brothers are trapped in Yangzhou City, and they are about to be used as cannon fodder by the bastards in the court. Everyone saw today that half of the city gate and building were destroyed with one shot. The Liao army is not incapable of attacking the city.

, but don’t want to bring disaster to the lives of living beings.

I, Shi Kefa, came here this time just to find a way for you to survive. I just don’t know if you are willing to come with me, Shi Kefa." Shi Kefa’s voice echoed in the tavern where you could hear a needle drop.

"willing!"

"willing!"

"Commander, we are all willing to follow you."

The silence lasted only for a moment, and the cheers that broke out almost lifted the roof.

This feeling is like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. The tavern that was filled with a sad atmosphere just now is now full of hope. If others say this, they will still doubt in their hearts. Shi Kefa's prestige makes everyone

People are full of trust in him. This kind of trust is like the trust a child has in his parents.

The tavern owner slithered under the counter. He didn't understand why the Mao soldiers felt like they had been given a shot of blood when they saw this man.

"Okay, since you trust me, Shi Kefa, I, Shi Kefa, will take you for a walk and form a formation! According to the organization, battalion-level officers are at the front, and company-level officers are at the back."

"Promise!" There was a loud response, and the officers immediately began to form their teams.

Looking at the neat team below, Luzhu was a little shocked. She thought about the hardships of this mission, and even imagined the scene of being reported and rounded up. She carried a grenade with her, and she would not hesitate at the most critical moment.

He hesitated and fired the grenade to commit suicide.

The situation in front of her made her completely unexpected that it was so easy. Shi Kefa climbed up and shouted, and it can be said that there were a large number of followers.

She had no idea that Shi Kefa's prestige in these people's hearts was so high.

"Go back and reorganize the troops. The Second Regiment of the 10th Division will assemble. Everyone bring white towels!" Shi Kefa shouted, and the officers below made a promise. Then they ran out in a hurry, looking for their own troops to assemble.

Of course, not all of them went back to assemble their own troops. Some of them went directly to the division headquarters to report to Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu.

The leader of the 2nd Regiment of the 10th Division, Liu Liangzuo, known as Huama Liu, and Li Dingguo were brothers. Because his subordinates supported him in fighting bravely, he escaped Wen Tiren's purge. When Li Dingguo came to Yangzhou, he was the first person he looked for.

"Lord Fu Zun, our Yangzhou city cannot be defended if the Liao army has such a powerful siege weapon. Today, the Liao army is a warning. If we don't think of a way, the Liao army can launch this weapon outside the city and destroy Yangzhou city."

It's leveled." Sun Kewang was frustrated. Today's cannonball not only blew up half of the towers in the north city, but also destroyed Sun Kewang's confidence.

"Don't we also have cannons, so we can't blow up their cannons? All your cannonballs are still alive!" Huang Daozhou looked at Sun Kewang fiercely. He felt that the people in the Nanjing Forbidden Army were too cowardly and no soldiers should be there at all.

Some are iron-blooded.

"Oh my Lord, the bigger the cannonball is, the farther it will hit. Our cannon is so thick, and other people's cannons are so thick. It won't work, it can't reach them at all." Liu Wenxiu had no choice, he didn't know.

How can I explain this to Mr. Fu Zun? In Mr. Fu Zun's eyes, since it is a cannon, it should hit the same distance. There is no concept of caliber in his mind.

"Oh! So that's it...!" Huang Daozhou looked a little embarrassed, but soon the awkward expression disappeared from his face. Master Fu Zun doesn't need such a boring expression! "There are no cannons, we can tie up the cannonballs,

Wouldn’t that be rough?”

"Uh...!" Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and guard Zhang Rusong were all dumbfounded. Bundling the shells together? It's a shame that the Lord of the Palace could think of it!

While the room was feeling extremely awkward, suddenly Sun Kewang's adjutant ran in.

"Commander, it's not good. I don't know why Shi Kefa suddenly appeared in the city. He just incited people to rebel at Hongyun Restaurant. Now many people have gone back to gather troops. I heard they are gathering at the second regiment of our division. Commander, please think of a way quickly. Troops

It’s all chaos.”

"What?" Sun Kewang stood up in shock.

As a division commander, he knew that most of the officers under him were promoted by Shi Kefa. Now that Shi Kefa has ascended to the top and shouted, it is certain that followers will gather. Even though Shi Kefa is an imperial prisoner, he speaks better than himself as a division commander.

It works much better.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! Shi Kefa, a scumbag of scholars, actually dared to appear in Yangzhou City. Mr. Sun, I order you to arrest the imperial prisoner immediately and bring him to justice to punish him." Huang Daozhou immediately went berserk and immediately issued an order to Sun Kewang to let him go.

He went to capture Shi Kefa.

"Uh...!" Sun Kewang was speechless again. With Shi Kefa's prestige, it was almost impossible for Sun Kewang to command the troops smoothly, let alone him now. Even Liu Wenxiu could no longer control his men and dared to capture Shi Kefa. I'm afraid.

Before even seeing Shi Kefa, he was beaten into a sieve.

Zhang Rusong reacted the fastest. He immediately stood up and bowed to Huang Daoyiyi: "There is no need to work hard, Mr. Sun. I am humble enough to lead troops to capture Shi Kefa and eliminate this national traitor for the Ming Dynasty."

"Okay, you know that my Yangzhou man is a good man. I will order people to prepare a banquet and prepare to ask for merit for you." Huang Daozhou was very pleased to see that his Yangzhou son could stand up.

"A humble position also restrains subordinates!" Seeing Zhang Rusong take the initiative to take over this hot potato, Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu could only resign and hurried out to control the troops. They just didn't know how many troops they could control now.

"Hmm!" Regarding Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu, Huang Daozhou just said "hmm" with his nose to express his dissatisfaction with them.

"Sir, are we really trying to catch Shi Kefa?" the adjutant asked in a low voice as he followed Zhang Rusong out of the magistrate's office. He wanted to make sure whether his boss was deliberately seeking death.

The equipment and training of the patrol battalion cannot keep up with others, so why should he arrest Shi Kefa? If Zhang Rusong really wanted to arrest Shi Kefa, it would be better to find an opportunity to escape, at least he would not be shot to death indiscriminately.

"You are stupid! You still want to arrest Shi Kefa, do you think your life is too long?" Zhang Rusong looked at the adjutant as if he was looking at a piece of shit.

"Then what you told Mr. Fu Zun...!"

"Then you are just looking for an excuse to run out. Yangzhou is doomed. And it will probably be tonight. Quickly mobilize the patrol camp to protect my children." Zhang Rusong whispered to the adjutant.

"Then we need to mobilize the soldiers responsible for city defense on the city wall."

"It's already this time, and you don't care about the damn bird city defense. There will be a rebellion tonight, and these rebels can do anything. Let's protect our nest first, and let God take care of other things. You personally

Go down to the city and try to see if you can get in touch with the Liao army. Just say that I am willing to surrender the city!" After saying this, Zhang Rusong looked around thiefly. Even though both of them were his confidants.

, but he was still worried.

"No! Please protect me, my humble servant."

"That's for sure!"

"Thank you, sir!"

When Zhang Rusong left the Fuzun Yamen, there was already the sound of troops running on the street. A large number of troops were running towards the 2nd Regiment of the 10th Division. Seeing this, Zhang Rusong became more and more nervous. There was going to be chaos tonight.

I hope this chaos will not affect me.

More and more troops gathered in front of the 10th Regiment of the 2nd Division. After reporting their numbers, they all tied a white towel on their left arm to show the difference from other Nanjing Forbidden Forces.

Shi Kefa stood beside Lu Zhu and Liu Liangzuo, watching more and more troops gathering on the playground. The gate and the troops were running inside, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You can send the signal for the commander to attack!"

"No!" Luzhu agreed, and immediately someone behind him ran out to light fireworks.

Li Xiao stood outside the city. The dark Yangzhou City in the distance looked like a giant beast lying on the ground. In the evening, a carrier pigeon flew out of the city and reported to Li Xiao the evening's actions.

Li Xiao actually didn't care whether tonight's mutiny was successful. He only cared about whether the defenses on the city wall were removed. The huge hot air balloon was suspended in the air, watching every move in the city.

"Commander, the city of Yangzhou is in chaos." Looking at the light signals on the hot air balloon that kept going on and off, the messenger ran to Li Xiao to report.

"Hmm!" Li Xiao just said "Hmm" without saying anything.

"Commander, the Ming army on the city wall is gathering. It seems to be concentrating on a place in the city!"

"Commander, a signal has been sent from the city and they have started to revolt."

Messages were sent out one after another from the hovering hot air balloon, allowing Li Xiao to know the situation in Yangzhou city very well!

"Send the siege signal!" Li Xiao did not issue the attack order until he heard that the troops on the city wall had been transferred. In fact, the greatest value of Shi Kefa's mutiny tonight was to gather people and wait to be captured by the Liao army.

Of course, for Shi Kefa's sake, the Liao army would also treat the prisoners preferentially.

Two dazzling fireworks, one red and one blue, exploded in the sky, and the two divisions of Yuan Chonghuan and Cao Wenzhao launched attacks from the south and the north almost simultaneously.
