Everyone knows that there are very few Guanlong disciples in Zhenguan Academy, the world's best academic institution. Although there are many Guanlong sects who want to send their children to study there, they are all rejected by Fang Jun for various reasons. Outside the door, people are very cautious.
As a result, Nuo University's academy was completely isolated from the Guanlong clan, and even Zhang Sun Wuji couldn't get involved. Under such circumstances, the entire academy from top to bottom did not want to see Guan Long, so how could Guan Long not do it twice as much? Beware?
The general saw a group of students coming down the mountain excitedly, just in time to meet him. Despite Cen Changqian's talk, his vigilance did not diminish at all.
At this moment, I heard that Cen Changqian was willing to act as a pawn, so that I could not only guard against these students, but also drive them to charge into the battle. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Especially everyone in Guanlong is dissatisfied with the academy, and also has a lot of resentment towards the students in the academy. If these students can suffer heavy losses when attacking the foundry bureau, all Guanlong families will definitely be happy, and they will have made a great contribution. pieces...
The general was ecstatic in his heart, but he still held his face vigorously, nodded and said: "This is very good!"
At the moment, Cen Changqian led five hundred students to go ahead, while more than two thousand rebels followed behind, acting as surveillance, and braved the heavy snow to head towards the Foundry Bureau.
On the way, someone asked Cen Changqian in a low voice: "We are going to guard the Foundry Bureau, but now we are helping the rebels to capture the Foundry Bureau. Isn't it like helping the evil tyrants?"
Cen Changqian said: "It's just an expedient measure. The rebels are following behind. Looking for an opportunity later, you secretly leave the team and go to the foundry bureau. Notify in advance..."
The people around me understood and were now walking around Kunming Lake. The lake was open and the wind was howling, mixed with snowflakes, and the wind and snow were blowing hard. Although the rebels followed step by step, it was too easy to escape in such weather. A strong wind blew snowflakes on his face, making it difficult to keep his eyes open. The man hurriedly crouched down and disappeared into the vast wind and snow in a few short steps.
…
After more than half an hour, the team finally arrived near the foundry.
In the wind and snow, the dam of Kunming Lake is not very visible, but the steel-making blast furnaces built next to the canal at the outlet of the lake rise from the ground. Even in the wind and snow, they still stand there darkly. It looks majestic from a distance.
In spring, summer and autumn, these blast furnaces spit out thick smoke all day long, blocking out the sky and the sun. Each furnace of molten steel is smelted and the steel ingots are transported away piece by piece. They carry almost half of the entire Tang Dynasty's steel production. And the other half. , on the banks of the Yangtze River, at the Nanshan Mine on the shore of Niuzhuji.
It can be said that the entire Tang Dynasty's steel is now in the hands of Fang Jun. Whether it is for people's livelihood or military use, Fang Jun is the veritable "King of Steel." Bankruptcy and bankruptcies were common due to runs, profits dropped again and again, and we were unable to make ends meet...
The foundry bureau's courtyard wall is not tall, and it looks even lower when viewed in the wind and snow. However, this "lowness" is compared to the city wall of Chang'an City. After all, it is the production center of the Empire's steel and firearms, and it can be said to be a military industrial powerhouse. , how can we not have comprehensive protection?
Outside the city, water from the Kunming Pool was even used to dig out a moat. However, it was freezing cold and the river water had frozen, unable to hinder the rebels from attacking the city...
Cen Changqian led the academy students to the moat. Behind him, the rebels followed step by step, sandwiching the academy students on the left and right.
The general stepped forward and said, "Master Cen, does he have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Cen Changqian said proudly: "Why do we need a good strategy? At present, there are only less than a thousand soldiers in the Foundry Bureau, and they have to be defended in all directions. We only need to choose a place to attack with force, and we can break in and achieve great success at our fingertips!"
The general curled his lips, thinking that this was Fang Jun's property, and there were countless firearms in the forging bureau. If he attacked by force, he would suffer heavy losses. But since Cen Changqian and these young boys don't know how powerful they are, let him charge forward and attract the defenders.
With firepower, when these students are almost dead, and then lead the troops to attack wildly, they will definitely be able to catch the defenders off guard.
Then he nodded and said: "In that case, it's not too late to fight now!"
The night is long and the dream is long, so it is better to capture the foundry bureau quickly, transport the seized firearms to Chang'an City, and take the credit in your hands.
Cen Changqian spread her hands and said helplessly: "We are not afraid of death, but we can't rush forward with bare hands like this, right?"
The general was stunned for a moment and said curiously: "You asked me to find weapons and weapons for you, right? The two thousand or so of us have gathered from various farms. Of course, some of them are government soldiers, but even the manpower
We don’t have enough weapons, how can we distribute them to you again?”
Cen Changqian also looked surprised: "General, shouldn't you really think that our students are attacking the foundry bureau with bare hands?"
The general: "..."
He raised his eyes and looked at this group of students who had high morale and no fear, but also had young faces and gentle manners. He thought to himself that he really couldn't let people go to war with bare hands. The next best thing was to die, in case someone charged back and was beaten back.
Wouldn't it be a pity if it collapsed?
After thinking for a while, he said: "I can give you some weapons, but there are only three hundred pieces. No more."
He has more than 2,000 people under his command, and evenly distributes the fractions to these students, allowing them to charge into the battle as scapegoats, so that his side can still maintain its combat effectiveness.
Cen Changqian is also very talkative: "That's great!"
Immediately, the rebels took off their weapons and handed over three hundred swords, guns, swords and halberds to the students. A team of five hundred people armed three hundred people, and their combat effectiveness immediately increased. It looked like that.
The general waved his hand: "Without further delay, let's start the war quickly!"
Cen Changqian raised a horizontal knife, looked around, and said loudly: "Follow me, don't fall behind, let's rush in!"
The military general tutted at the side, why did this sound a bit awkward? He also said "don't fall behind", you can't do this even if you die...
Before he could think about it, many students had already agreed. Then Cen Changqian took the lead and rushed toward the high wall of the foundry bureau with shouts. Hundreds of students followed closely behind, like a huge wave in the wind and snow.
He rushed towards the foundry bureau with great momentum.
The military general firmly ordered his surroundings: "The battle will begin in the city later, and the students will suffer heavy losses. We will take advantage of that moment to rush forward and break through the foundry bureau in one fell swoop!"
"The general's clever calculation is even more powerful than Zhuge Wuhou!"
“Is this the legendary ‘strategy planning’?”
…
The general was stroking his beard with a proud look on his face.
"Bang bang bang"
The students were shouting and charging, and they had already rushed under the high wall. Only then did the guards on the wall fire their muskets and fired randomly. No one was hit, and even the sky shook.
Even Lei couldn't bear to lose one.
The general felt something was wrong...
Then, the students rushed to the gate in a swarm. The gate suddenly opened and students poured in like a flood.
The general: "..."
People around him: "..."
I was praising him so much just now, but seeing this situation now, I almost bit my tongue.
What's going on?
Some people reacted slowly and said: "Is this, this, this... so easy? If I had known this, we would have done it ourselves... Oops!"
But he was whipped hard by the general with a riding crop and cursed: "Idiot!"
Then he ignored the elm-headed man and jumped into a rage on horseback: "Mother! You kid actually tricked me! He must have secretly sent someone to inform the foundry bureau that they are basically in the same group! Fuck you guys, follow me
Go ahead, we will capture the Foundry Bureau today and capture Cen Changqian, I will cut him into pieces!"
"Come on, come on, mother! Are you tired of playing tricks on our general?"
"Capture Cen Changqian alive and light a sky lantern for this kid!"
There was a noise from left and right, and the troops were gathered to charge.
Someone said weakly: "This kid is certainly hateful, but he is Cen Wenwen's nephew. If we light him up as a sky lantern, can Cen Wenwen spare us?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless, and their morale suddenly stagnated.
In the final analysis, Guan Long's actions this time were "military remonstrance" rather than "rebellion". After defying the will of heaven and deposing the East Palace, he cut off his party members. The structure of the imperial court already needs to be maintained, otherwise the world will be prone to chaos. Who will support it at that time?
Close Longmen valve?
Cen Wenwen was not considered a confidant of the Eastern Palace at all, and would definitely continue to hold his original position after the war. As one of the prime ministers and assistants, how could he let it go if he knew that the nephew he had raised with his own hands had been killed?
The general was so sulky that he knew that not only could he not kill Cen Changqian, but he had to be more careful not to let the boy be accidentally injured and die miserably on the spot. His face turned black with anger and he shouted: "Fuck him, mother! Don't worry about that yet.
You cunning little brat, let’s capture the Foundry Bureau first!”
