I would like to imitate the civil servants and just drag out a few commanders and kill them. However, this is really not a solution to the problem.
Not to mention that Zhao Xi does not have a diploma in commanding and mobilizing these troops. Even if he did, he probably would not be able to cut off a few to establish his authority. It is meaningless.
In this situation, mutually independent support was frightening Caizhou's rebels more than ten or twenty miles outside Caizhou City!
Zhao Xi had no intention of inviting these so-called soldiers to attack the city. He just waited for the Crouching Tiger Artillery to come and guard the camp with two thousand soldiers to see if he could capture Caizhou.
If it didn't work out, he would rather let the escort battalion hide and assassinate people than use these soldiers to scare people.
It was really chilling and made Zhao Xi feel scared. This is the defense of the country!
This trip was not for fighting in the first place. The escort battalion only carried the amount of conventional ammunition and did not even bring sleeping bags, let alone equipment for camping.
However, someone came over to invite His Highness the Crown Prince and the escort battalion to rest in their camp.
He refused, or rather ignored him at all.
All the nagging people left, and the guard camp rested about a hundred steps below Caizhou City.
The next day, Zhao Xi saw something even more ridiculous.
Wang Su came with his troops. He had no choice but to worry about the safety of His Royal Highness.
Don't be afraid of the rebels. They will be wiped out sooner or later. But His Highness the Prince only brought two thousand soldiers with him. He was worried that His Highness would use these two thousand soldiers to attack the city... As for the other teams rushing to help, even Wang Su didn't take it seriously.
.
What makes Zhao Xi feel ridiculous is that Di Qing actually came with Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian.
As for that? For this point of rebellion, a famous general like Di Qing is actually needed?
"Your Highness, Qing is now the recruiting envoy of Caizhou. After completing the suppression of the rebel army, I will directly serve as the training envoy of the Caizhou regiment and the commander of the Xinyang army."
Di Qing told Zhao Xi the truth without hiding anything, and it was very bitter.
Is this possible? Di Qing is the deputy privy envoy, equivalent to the deputy chief. What does the training envoy of the Caizhou regiment know about the Xinyang army? He is the local governor!
"Why?"
Zhao Xi must know the reason.
"Someone in the court mentioned that the guard camp was training troops with Xiangzhou. It was nothing, but Qing thought it was feasible, so he suggested to the court that the guard camp should be split up and dispersed to the various armies of the country and the dynasty."
"At the same time, the method of training troops in the guard camp was promoted to improve the quality of the soldiers of the country and the court. But at this time, the court was informed that the Xinyang army rebelled."
"The court officials asked, if the Xinyang army has the combat strength of the guard camp, can it only march to Caizhou? Therefore, the military personnel cannot be trusted."
It’s really ridiculous! Is it possible that a road should be abandoned because a pit knocked someone down?
But the imperial court really did this.
How should I put it, Di Qing understood Zhao Xi, but he didn't understand the official family.
Di Qing said that it was right to train troops, and that it was right to improve the quality of the soldiers of the country. He could even let the guard battalion help with training, but he should not say to split the guard battalion.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen followed the trend and took advantage of the crusade of civil servants to send Di Qing directly to Caizhou.
Zhao Xi helped Wang Su train troops in Xiangzhou. Even if someone mentioned it in the court, more people refuted it than agreed. Di Qing thought it was His Highness the Crown Prince who had changed the direction of the court and was interested in developing armaments.
Therefore, he rarely intervened, so he only mentioned one sentence, which was still very tactful.
And then that was it.
He was very straightforward when telling Zhao Xi, but in fact what he said in court was very vague and euphemistic. In the end, he was demoted here.
"Shuai Di, the days ahead are long!"
Zhao Xi can only say this. He should say: I trust you and will eventually reuse you. But this is not in private, but in public. Some things still need to be taboo.
Now that Di Qing is here, there is no need for Zhao Xi to go to the kitchen to take over. Di Qing is the official recruiter and has the right to command all soldiers.
Of course, it must be controlled by Wang Su... This is the system of the dynasty, even if Wang Su is just reinforcements along the way.
Di Qing seemed to really understand Zhao Xi. He summoned reinforcements from all walks of life. He did not rely on numerical superiority to attack the city, but asked reinforcements from all walks of life to come all the way...
Whoever dies is unlucky, and living is a waste of money and food.
I have been dawdling for a day, but no results have been achieved.
The rebels did not hesitate to die, but they did not hesitate to attack the city. Those who were stunned were afraid of losing their lives. This battle perfectly explains this sentence.
It’s strange, the more you fear death, the more people die.
That's almost it. Zhao Xi really couldn't bear to let them die like this.
Therefore, the escort battalion led the Xiangzhou army to attack the city...
It was just another wave of people changed, and the rebels didn't care.
If you can repel those in front, you can also repel this group. Isn't that tens of thousands of people? There are more than 30,000 soldiers in Caizhou City!
Zhang Yan originally thought that someone from the imperial court would come to recruit him! But no, that is to say, their rebellion has not yet attracted the attention of the imperial court.
Therefore, I became cruel and prepared to beat him to death. I must beat him to the point where the court will be hurt and frightened, so that I can fight for a good future for my brothers.
Gather all the soldiers on the city wall, not for any reason, but to tell the court that we have plenty of people.
Then almost the entire armory of Caizhou was moved to the city wall. There were rolling logs and stones, and bed crossbows and divine arm crossbows, creating a formation that looked like death.
The Crouching Tiger Cannon has been improved. Because of making the carriage, Su Song also installed wheels on the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Therefore, it is not carried by people. In the past few days, the reinforcements have been attacking the city, and the Crouching Tiger Cannon has been placed in the Xiangzhou military camp.
It's time to play...
Zhao Xi glanced at the city wall...what do you mean? Why are the rebels so cooperative?
The Tiger Crouching Cannon's single shell is suitable for breaking down city gates, while the gravel shell is most effective against densely packed troops.
The city of Caizhou belongs to the imperial dynasty, and they were originally prepared to attack the city after effectively killing them, and try not to destroy the city gates. As a result, the rebels cooperated so well...
"Bang...bang bang...bang..."
Four shots, four squatting tiger cannons, came first before the soldiers attacked the city.
how could this be?
The rebels are waiting to attack the city, such as ladders, trebuchets, bed crossbows and divine arm crossbows.
But then I saw such a strange little car pushing towards me, and then...then there were bursts of screams.
Not only the rebels, but also the Xiangzhou Army, including those watching the excitement from a distance, were all stunned.
"Siege the city?"
The command power belongs to Di Qing, but at this time he asked Zhao Xi.
It is certain that the rebels will be wiped out, but as for how to do so, His Highness the Crown Prince will have the final say.
"Let's play a few more rounds!"
Whether it was a deterrent or a warning to the soldiers about the country's armaments, Zhao Xi felt that they should fight a few more rounds.
Another round of fighting, but before the third round started, the rebels were about to surrender!
The city gate opened, and the magistrate of Caizhou came out. The rebels did not kill him, just because of this moment.
The purpose of their visit was explained, which meant that the rebels requested surrender, and all they needed was for the court to allow them to change their citizenship and work. Whether they were track workers or miners, they could do it.
"Continue to attack the city!"
Zhao Xi just listened, but felt as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Your Highness..."
"Bachelor, I am not cruel. If rebellion can be forgiven, then the price of rebellion is too small! Rebels will never be forgiven! Attack the city!"
