Chapter 1868

Cannons are a powerful weapon in the country.

There were no hundreds of cannons in the entire Yansui Town, which included all the cannons of the Jiajing Dynasty. If it were just the Tianqi Dynasty, Yansui Town had not added a new cannon, but only two general cannons were added during the Taichang period.

"The tiger flag has a cannon field on the grassland. They can build cannons themselves. As long as they have iron, copper, and silver, they can make as much as they want." Li Kaiyang said.

In every war, the tiger flag always took out a large number of cannons. Just by seizing the cannons from two border towns in Datong, Xuanfu, I could not get so many cannons.

People with intentions naturally want to figure out how the tiger-shaped flag can equip a large number of cannons in the army, and the tiger-shaped flag's cannon field on the grassland was completely exposed.

However, although the Ming Dynasty court knew about it, it could not do anything.

The court was unable to send troops to the grassland to destroy the artillery field of the Tiger Flag. It could only watch the number of artillery in the Tiger Flag Army becoming more and more helpless.

"How long do you think Yinzhou Pass can be defended?" Wu Zimian was not optimistic about Yinzhou Pass because of the Tiger Flag Army.

Li Kaiyang thought for a while and said, "If Wei Weicheng could arrive at Yinzhou Pass in time, and with the original defenders at the Pass, he should be able to hold on for about half a month."

"Half a month is almost enough." Wu Zimian said, "I have sent someone to send a letter to You Shichang and ordered him to rush back to Yulin City immediately. Even if Yinzhou Pass cannot be defended next, Yulin City can still block the thief army with the Tiger Banner."

"Why did you call You Shichang back? Isn't this a nonsense? What should I do if the rebel King Er? I am about to completely wipe out the rebels Wang Er and get You Shichang back at this time. Isn't this a chance to save Wang Er and the rebels Wang Er?" Li Kaiyang frowned.

Hearing this, Wu Zimian explained with a smile: "Don't worry, with Wang Guerrilla here, it's enough to deal with Wang Er's group. You Shichang would still come back to guard Yulin City."

"Didn't Wang Guerrilla fight against Wang Jiayin's rebel group? Could it be that he would divide his troops to deal with Wang Er?" Li Kaiyang frowned even deeper.

Wu Zimeng laughed and said, "I have received the news that Wang Jiayin's rebels are rushing to the Luochuan area. After Wang Er's rebels left Chengcheng, they also went to the Luochuan Yichuan area. It is obvious that these two rebels want to merge, which also gives me the opportunity to take back the troops of You Shichang."

After hearing this, Li Kaiyang's face became a little ugly.

He had not received any news for such a big incident. It can be seen that this trip to Shanxi caused the Li family to lose many generals in the Yansui Town Army, and even fewer channels to obtain information.

He looked at Wu Zimian and said, "The two rebels will have a lot of strength. Will it be too dangerous for only Wang Guerrilla?

"Do not worry about this, Vice General Li." Wu Zimian said in a relaxed tone, "You Shichang was pursuing Paifei in Xi'an Prefecture for so long, and Wang Er's rebels could only be exhausted from escaping life. Their strength was no longer as good as when they were in Chengcheng. Even if he and Wang Jiayin merged with each other, they would not be able to strengthen much strength. The troops brought by Wang Guerrilla were enough."

"Aren General Wu afraid that these two kings and the bandit army with the tiger flag merged together? Don't forget that they are all rebels and are enemies of the court." Li Kaiyang reminded.

Wu Zimian waved his hand gently and said, "That's even more impossible. Not long ago, Wang Jiayin killed the envoy of the Tiger Banner in Fugu County. Do you think they still have a chance to join forces? Haha!"

"Is this really a thing?" Li Kaiyang opened his eyes wide.

But he cursed in his heart that Wang Jiayin is short-sighted and has not yet made any situation, but he started fighting in the internal struggle first. Such a person is not enough to accomplish anything.

Wu Zimeng smiled and said, "Of course this matter is true. After Wang Guerrilla recovered Fugu County, he saw the body of the envoy of the tiger flag with his own eyes."

"It's not uncommon for a group of poor people who can't get on the table to do such things." Li Kaiyang cursed with contempt.

Wu Zimian smiled and said, "If it were so difficult to deal with the tiger flag, Yan'an Prefecture would have fallen into the hands of these rebels long ago. The most urgent task at the moment is the thief army of the tiger flag."

"The army of the tiger flag came to Yan'an Mansion, maybe it was to revenge Wang Jiayin who killed them. Maybe they would help us solve the rebels of Wang Jiayin." Li Kaiyang said lightly.

Wu Zimian shook his head and said, "How could the army be mobilized so much? Moreover, after the tiger flag took Mizhi, he rushed directly to Yinzhou Pass. If they really wanted to deal with Wang Jiayin, they should go south to Yanchuan."

"Mizhi is less than ninety miles away from Yinzhou Pass, I hope Wei Weicheng can arrive in time." Li Kaiyang looked worried.

Wu Zimian said: "From Yulin City to Yinzhou Pass, it is closer than Mizhi to Yinzhou Pass. You and I have to believe in Wei Weicheng, and you and I have no other choice. I can only hope that Wei Weicheng will dare to arrive before the thief army."

Li Kaiyang sighed after hearing this.

In a camp in Yansui Town.

After receiving the order, Wei Weicheng immediately took the army away from the camp and rushed to Yinzhou Pass. After knowing that he was about to face the soldiers with the tiger flag, he specially brought five bulky general cannons and more than a dozen tiger cannons.

The marching speed was not fast along the way, and he stopped and stopped from time to time to wait for the cannons behind him to follow.

It has been more than half a day since the army left the camp to set off, but the army has only walked less than fifteen miles.

"General, we may not be able to get to Yinzhou Pass if we are rushing like this." The personal soldiers following Wei Weicheng said worriedly.

The army can walk at this speed for a maximum of twenty miles a day, and it will be difficult to reach Yinzhou Pass without three or four days.

Wei Weicheng, who was riding on the horse, glanced at the personal soldiers beside him and said, "What are you doing when you walk so fast? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Tell the army to walk slowly, don't worry."

When the personal soldiers heard this, they were confused.

However, since the general ordered to walk slowly, then walk slowly.

Step! Step! Step! Step!

The sound of horse hooves came from behind.

Soon, several cavalry rushed up from the back of the team, and one of them rode a horse to the front of Weiwei City and said to him: "General Wei, the general ordered you to throw away your heavy baggage and speed up the marching. You must arrive at Yinzhou Pass before noon tomorrow."

"A short title is not enough to make me give up the whole Shanxi." Liu Heng picked up the tea jar on the table and took a sip of the tea inside.

After hearing this, Eunuch Li's face did not change at all.

He has seen so many things like asking for a price everywhere to pay the money.

So, he said directly: "My uncle has any conditions to raise. As long as it is not too much, I think the court will not disagree."
