Chapter 420: Peaceful Takeover of Yan'an County

Forty explosive packs, in the sky, became tiny black dots, and seemed to fly towards the north slowly. Seeing the flying black dots, my hand gently placed on my chest, smiling, and watching the upcoming fireworks conference.

When the tiny black dots fell into the mountain village, I felt a bright light in front of my eyes. I saw a ball of orange-red flames swirling around and swallowing everything around me. Then I heard the deafening roar. Balls of fire lighted up in the direction of the mountain village, and then rose up a dark demon with orange-red flames in the middle, as if the demon at the bottom of hell had descended to the earth.

There were no other sounds, but the interlaced roars came one after another, and even the weeds under our feet were trembling slightly, as if even nature was afraid of this terrible power.

When the first series of explosions stopped, the layers of thick smoke formed a bunch of mushroom clouds and slowly rolled up, smearing a hint of gloomy and fearful gray black to the blue sky.

"There is such a power that there is nothing in the world to stop." Looking at the smoke that was rolling around like living things, Wei Yunqi couldn't help but murmur in vain.

"No one can stop us from moving forward, no matter where we go. This world will be our era and their era." I took a deep breath and swept some of the inconspicuous explosive packs that looked inconspicuous. The sound was not high, but it was deeply imprinted into the depths of everyone's hearts.

Only one round was used, each of the forty explosive packs weighed twenty kilograms, or eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder, which made the Turks, who had never seen such a powerful weapon that could not be matched by human power, completely lost the last bit of courage to resist. Even if the forty explosive packs only killed hundreds of people, the terrible loud noise and the irresistible destructive power completely scared them.

Even when our infantry climbed into the mountain village, we even saw some Turkic and Liang soldiers who had not yet died of breath, and many soldiers and horses who were scared and confused.

Soon, after clearing the battlefield and opening a passage enough for our large troops to pass, the army began to move forward in a mighty manner. Many of them had appreciated this terrible weapon for the first time. It was precisely because of this that the soldiers who were originally slow toward the heavy artillery regiments and often slowed down the marching team could not help but look at the youngest soldiers who were not over sixteen years old with envy and jealousy. They did not wear armor from other places except for a breastplate and helmet, and even the use of a horizontal knife seemed awkward and clumsy.

No matter how poor their force was, they could use a fearsome killing weapon familiarly, which was awe-inspiring. The observers of these heavy artillery regiments were all the teenagers who were seeking help from this young master in the past.

After several years of education, their achievements in mathematics, physics and geometry are definitely not inferior to those of later high school students. This is why they can act as observers, calculate ballistics, and enable heavy artillery to accurately hit and predict the bounce point.

Among the dead people present, there were no figures of Liang Shidu and Kang Shuoli. The point of bounce was determined to be behind the village wall. Therefore, at most, they were injured or shocked, and they should not be so unlucky.

The large group of people continued to move forward. At dusk that day, they finally arrived at the Yan'an County District. The Liang Tu coalition forces besieging Fushi City had disappeared without a trace. What was left was Fushi City, which had broken city walls and wounded people all over the ground.

Well, in peace, the prefect of Yan'an County He Shouzheng and Wei Yunqi had old age, and Yan'an County had already suffered heavy losses under the siege of the Liang Tu coalition. The five thousand county soldiers in Fushi City alone had more than 2,000 casualties, and only half of the troops who could fight were left. Moreover, although the city wall was not damaged much, it could not last long. More importantly, because there were nearly 35,000 people fled from other counties in the city, the existing grain in Fushi County was almost exhausted. According to the prefect He Shouzheng, if there were five days in the evening, there would be no surplus grain. If it was still too late, the tragedy of changing the baby and eating would happen. At that time, even if it was not surrendered, it would have been surrendered.

The first thing we did after entering the city was to take over the city defense, and then sent a military medical team to seek help from the injured. The powerful disinfection function of the spirits and the large amount of military rations we brought immediately began to be distributed, which finally restored some popularity to Fushicheng, which had already suffered from the food cuts.

Perhaps because of the shameless appearance of the Liang-Tun coalition, our soldiers were not in trouble at all, and the timely request for help made the people in Kushicheng's favorableness towards our army almost fully in a short period of time.

"Speaking of this, I have to thank you for saving my skin. Please accept He's kindness." When we met on the first day of the first day, He Shouzheng looked solemn and bowed to me. I quickly reached out to support me. "Why did Grandpa He say this?"

Not to mention me, even Wei Yunqi, a classmate who had an old friendship with He Shouzheng, looked puzzled and curious about what I was, so he asked He Shouzheng to give this great gift.

"Young Master Wuji, in the past two years, my Yan'an County has been frequently affected by war disasters, with people's livelihoods declining, and even farming. If it weren't for the help of the industry under your name, you sold the stored grain to suppress the price of grain, I am afraid that Yan'an County will be almost nine out of ten families. Moreover, the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians trapped by Liang and Turkic thieves this time were in a state of disagreement. If it weren't for the Quanjude Grain Store donating all the stored grains, we would have been..." Speaking of this, He Shouzheng bowed to me again. "Young Master can have this bodhisattva heart, He Shouzheng would not want the people to suffer from military disasters again..."

I patted He Shouzheng on the shoulder. This guy is at least a sensible person. It's good, quite good, and it saves me from wasting my saliva. It will be easier for such a smart person to be more intelligent.

"Yan'an County is really unlucky." He Shouzheng, the haggard county prefect, stroked the long white beard on his chin, sighed and smiled bitterly: "If you come two days later, you may be the one who will be in the hands of the thief. Compared with Mr. Wuji's uninvasive subordinates, the Liang army and the Turkic people are even more hateful than bandits and thieves."

"…When I received the news, I heard that the Turks and Liang thieves were coming to attack Yan'an County, the people of several northern counties fled south and took refuge."

I couldn't help but frown: "How did you learn this news?" No, Liang Shi was no longer the same, nor did he even know how to keep such a major military operation confidential.

"Wei thinks that it must be revealed by Master Liang on purpose." Wei Yunqi analyzed with a serious look: "Maybe Liang hopes to drive all the people of Yan'an County to the capital to apply for skin. In this way, there is no large amount of skin to provide food, so it is difficult to last. Even if the skin to apply for skin to be destroyed, the people and county soldiers inside will not be able to survive."

He Shouzheng also patted his thighs with a sudden look on his face and said, "Yes, news came a month ago, which made the people of the counties panic. Although He tried his best to comfort him, he was sorry that he was not strong enough. Fortunately, the young master provided a helping hand, otherwise He would be ashamed of the 100,000 civil servants in Yan'an County."

"I don't know where they retreated?" I thought about it and asked He Shouzheng.

"At that time, they were retreating north, and they should have retreated to the area of ​​Jinming County (Ansai County)." He Shouzheng replied without thinking.

"I don't know if the Liang army and Turkic people from other counties have retreated." I stroked my eyebrows and couldn't help but murmur. Although I have set up pigeon stations in the main areas of Guanzhong, most of them are the county seats, and they are directly contacted with Hancheng County. Therefore, even if I want to know the news about other counties, I have to wait for Hancheng County to pass it to me.

"My brother Fang Xin, have we sent a large number of scouts before entering the city? I think there will be news as early as tomorrow morning." Han Shiye said, scratching the beard on his face.

"Well, then wait. In the future, I will have to trouble Taishou He about the civil affairs of Yan'an County. I hope the Taishou will not refuse." I stood up and headed towards He Shouzhengdao.

"You should do your best to keep the righteous. However, this is the time of autumn harvest, but people are not sure. Moreover, the grain stored in each county has been collected by the Liang thieves, so you asked the young master to send grain to comfort the people. In addition, the Liang thieves attacked, which displaced the people. Moreover, many villages and houses were destroyed by the Liang thieves. I hope the young master can help." He Shouzheng agreed very clearly, and then proposed a large number of conditions for pulling the house.

"It's okay, I have already sent a letter to Hancheng. In a maximum of seven days, I can send 100,000 stones of grain to the cotton. I will leave a regiment of soldiers to rush to various parts of Yan'an County to maintain public order. In addition, I will reorganize many county soldiers in the former Yan'an County to build a shelter for the people to ensure that Yan'an can survive this difficult period." I nodded and agreed. "Don't worry, the prefect, and bear the expenses."

"Young Master's great kindness, the whole country of Yan'an County will remember it." He Shouzheng bowed to me again. This time, the last trace of doubt in his eyes had disappeared without a trace.

In addition to sending a battalion to maintain public order in Fushi City, five medical teams were treating the wounded in the city, all other soldiers stayed outside the city to avoid disturbing the people. It was not until noon the next day that they received news from the reconnaissance cavalry that the Liang Tu coalition seemed to be scared by gunpowder weapons. The troops of Yan'an, except Yanchuan County, all the enemies of Yanchang County retreated to Yanfu County, which belonged to the southern end of Diaoyin County, and the enemy to the north was occupied in Jinming County.
