When I was watching the bandit camp, Zhou Yuji's voice came from behind me.
Chang Yu raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's already late at noon!" He said, rubbing his head: "I just found out today that General Zhou has a huge amount, and our family is convinced."
Zhou Yuji laughed loudly: "It's rare to be able to convince the factory boss, I will be proud of it!"
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and then looked around: "How are you preparing?"
"Gunpowder and firearms are stored in the southeast corner tower, and your men are on guard. Arrows, wood, rolling stones, and even golden soup are all prepared for the thieves."
Zhou Yuji said solemnly.
"So, what do we have to be afraid of?" Chang Yu looked relaxed, shrugged and smiled.
Zhou Yuji stared at Chang Yu and asked very puzzledly: "When the factory owner first came to Taiyuan, he worked with the last general. At that time, the factory owner was as if he was facing a powerful enemy. He was physically and mentally exhausted. He even did not hesitate to pretend to surrender to delay time. Why did he spend so little time?
But with such a big change, it seems that the hundreds of thousands of thieves’ troops are not worth mentioning in your eyes.”
Hearing this, Chang Yu gently shook his head and smiled: "I'm not afraid of being embarrassed to tell you that at that time, our family had just arrived. Not long after we left the palace, we had never seen the big world. When we first heard about the hundreds of thousands of thieves, our legs became weak, and then we fought with the thieves.
After several battles between the armies, we found that they were no match for me!"
"Nothing more than mediocrity?" Zhou Yuji was startled: "Sir, do you know that this mediocre bandit army has been suppressed by the imperial court for more than ten years, but it has become stronger and stronger..."
"That's why our family finds it so incredible. Why are there more and more people being suppressed?" Chang Yu said with a hint of disdain, but he knew the reason very well in his heart.
There are so many constraints faced by the generals who lead the troops. They need money but no money, they need food but no food, and they will be intimidated by the soldiers...
But he is different. He came from time-travel, and Tongming Shi has every advantage. He has money, food, and power. As the admiral of the East Factory, he supervises the war. As long as Chongzhen doesn't make mistakes, there are no constraints. He can fight well and kill the enemy in battle.
, this is an advantage that other generals do not have.
More importantly, he has hundreds of years of vision and an eclectic style of tactics.
The two of them walked along the city wall to the west and chatted, sometimes looking at the movements of the rebels outside the city, and sometimes inside the city.
"The main attack point of the rebels must be the South Gate in all likelihood. The West City may also be the side attack point of the rebels. However, there are many lakes in the West City, the water system is developed, and the residences are far away from the city wall. As for the northern city, the rebels cannot choose it as an attack point, so
We only need to demolish the residential buildings in the two southeastern cities. In fact, they have been demolished in the past few days. I estimate that they will all be demolished before sunset today..."
The two of them held on to the wall stacks and looked into the city. Zhou Yuji said lightly.
Chang Yu nodded without saying a word, looking at Yuan Tong under his eyes, passing by the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Governor's Office, Prince Jin's Mansion and the row upon row of ordinary people's residences.
If an army of thieves enters the city, the anger of the intruders will definitely not grow even at this time.
But, how can you come in? Chang Yu sneered.
Indeed, Chang Yu is no longer the little eunuch who just wanted to escape and live in peace when he first came out of the palace. As he said, when he heard that hundreds of thousands of thieves had invaded, his legs became weak, but after several battles, he
Slowly I discovered that the rebel army was not that strong, and the officers and soldiers were not that weak either.
The key to all this is who is in charge of the army!
The rebel army was extremely active in scouting horses, and there were signs of troop deployment in the camp. From this, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji concluded that the rebel army would attack the city two days after tomorrow.
The real storm is about to come. Zhou Yuji does not have the mentality of Chang Yu to sit tight on the Diaoyutai. In his opinion, Chang Yu and Jin Wuwei are almost like newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers, while he has been fighting against the bandits for more than ten years.
I know how powerful this intruder is.
This attack on the city was definitely an overwhelming offensive. He did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so at noon he summoned the generals of the army to discuss matters on the tower of the south gate.
At the same time, a group of civil servants headed by Wang Jimo and Cai Maode also held a meeting in the governor's office to discuss how to deal with possible unrest in the city when the rebels attacked the city.
There was only one person wandering around Xihaizi with nothing to do.
Needless to say, it was Chang Yu.
In the open space by the lake, the three hundred elite Jinwu Guards and Gongziying were training separately.
Two consecutive days of intensive confrontation training successfully ignited the desire to win and the sense of glory between the two teams.
Confrontation training can deceive the outcome, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, Gongziying's soft board riding skills are still inferior. This cannot be solved overnight.
The Jinwu Guard is weak in individual combat and has slightly less actual combat experience than the Gongzi Camp.
Because of this, the two groups were not convinced and always shouted to the other side to fight if they refused.
However, today Chang Yu ordered the cancellation of the confrontation training. The reason is very simple. The competition is too fierce, easy to get injured, and consumes too much physical strength. The bandit army is about to attack the city. They need to restore their physical strength and maintain peak energy to face the enemy.
The two men and horses dispersed to train separately. Some were practicing riding skills, some were practicing archery, and some were rehearsing attack and defense formations. There were shouts and shouts, and their leaders such as Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong, and Hu
Ling and others were not idle either. They were lifting stone locks in the woods with no shirt, practicing strength and building muscles.
As for why people like to go shirtless in cold weather.
Glorious tradition.
Chang Yu strolled by the lake to watch the two men and horses training. After a few rounds, he went to the edge of the woods to join Tu Yuan and others, and began to sweat profusely with bow and horse riding.
Although he did not attend the military meeting in the city tower, he was by no means indifferent. Every once in a while, guards in uniform would come down from the city to report on the movements of the bandits outside the city.
But as always, except for the rampant activities of the bandit army exploring horses, there was no other obvious action.
"Sir, from yesterday to now, the garrison in the north of the city and the bandit army have fought seven times, and the results have been achieved. They have not been seen entering the territory since noon."
"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. Huang Lai'er will not be able to return this trip."
Looking at the frozen lake in the distance, Eunuch Chang became very popular in poetry!
Fang San clapped his hands beside him and applauded, which made Tiezhu and others unable to agree: "It's so wet, so wet..."
A bunch of flatterers, Chang Yu rolled his eyes!
As the sun sets, a rare fire cloud appears. According to experience, it will be another sunny day tomorrow.
It was at this time that an official notice was posted in the city's bustling areas such as the Drum Tower and Bell Tower, where people gathered, and Taiyuan entered the strictest martial law in history.
The first one is the curfew. You are not allowed to walk around on the streets from Hai Shi (9 p.m.) to Mao Shi (5 a.m.).
Article 2 During the martial law period, refugees are not allowed to enter residential areas of the city at will, and their activities are limited to the refugee camp area.
Article 3: During martial law, non-government or military personnel are not allowed to approach within 50 meters of any city gate, otherwise they will be killed without mercy.
Article 4: During the martial law period, if anyone spreads rumors to cause trouble and deceives people's hearts, he will be killed without mercy.
……………………
After a quick dinner, Chang Yu led the team to the city to inspect war preparations.
The most important weapons in city defense, artillery and trebuchets, are guarded by dedicated personnel to prevent any subtle damage.
The gunpowder magazine in the southeast corner tower is a top priority. Historically, Zhang Xiong lit this gunpowder magazine and surrendered, but Chang Yu did not allow history to repeat itself. The people guarding the gunpowder magazine were all Jinyiwei.
He even had to carefully inspect the piles of wood and boulders on the city, which made Zhou Yuji who accompanied him couldn't help but sigh in his heart, finally he was no longer so careless.
After a careful inspection from the West City to the East City, it was almost dark, and at this moment a personal guard suddenly came to report: The King of Jin sent someone over to ask Chang Yu to go to the palace immediately to discuss important matters.
What was important at this time? Chang Yu was confused. Could it be that a war was imminent and Zhu Shenxuan was so frightened that he wet his pants?
Feeling confused, he hurried down from the east city and went straight to the east gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.
At this time, the street was quiet, with no one around except the patrol team. Occasionally, three or two wild cats suddenly appeared from the corner of the street, making the guards nervous.
When I entered the palace, I didn't see Zhu Shenxuan at first sight. I was told that he was in the other courtyard of Prince Shen.
Chang Yu immediately asked someone to lead the way, wondering in his heart, could it be that King Shen was about to burp?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was startled by the sight before him. Dozens of people from Prince Shen's residence were all standing in the courtyard, whispering to each other, with anxious and uneasy faces.
Just when he was wondering, Zhu Shenxuan walked out of the lobby and waved to him, and Chang Yu quickly walked over.
"Prince Shen is about to die," Zhu Shenxuan whispered.
"what happened?"
Chang Yu was shocked. Could it be that his mouth had been opened?
