54 Heavy
?After Park Songcai was buried, Park Cheng left his house and lived in the temple. His house originally had a jade shop, and it was filled with treasures from Park Songcai during his lifetime, but this unfilial son was not kept in the end.
Rongyang ran across the street, and the snow was thick. He pushed open the door of the temple and slid on the road. He fell off his velvet hat, but he didn't care to help him. He ran into the yard. Su Zhou and Shao Zhen were sitting in the corridor to settle the score.
"Park Cheng, don't you see Park Cheng." Rong Yang's tears fell while gasping. He said, "I got up this morning and gave me a white stone and lied to me that my father was looking for me. I..." He choked up and said, "He will disappear when I come back."
Su Zhou got up and went to the house where Park Cheng lived. There was nothing in the house, and there was a purse on the table, which contained Park Cheng's last silver coins. But the person just disappeared. They searched all the streets and alleys, and even Park Songcai's grave, but they didn't look for Park Cheng's shadow.
All that was left was a stone, the stone in the stream in front of the academy. It was grinded white and moist, and it was tied to Fengyang's wrist, as if it was a dream of tying the young fur in the past.
When Zhong You received the letter, the person was already on the way to Xu Hang. The letter was bumpy for many days, and he identified the handwriting, which should have been written by Su Zhou. He guessed that Park Cheng was going to Jingjian, and immediately wrote a letter on his knees, which was handed over to Jingjian. Meng Chen was in Jingjian now, and he might be able to catch it.
At this time, the streets of Jiangtang were filled with people who escaped from Xu Hang. The water was crowded, and the merchant alliance and the Zhong family were in trouble. No one was willing to take the blame for the maritime merchants. The Zhong family quickly threw the smoke and millet piled up in the warehouse to the north, and wanted to make this last time before Zuo Kaizhi came.
In addition to checking the amount of tobacco and millet that the Zhong family has entered and exited, Zhong You has also been checking the initial private goods. He finally found a clue in his private store in a corner of the river pond.
The private goods that were initially leaked were also packed with a batch of fish herbs. However, the final destination of the fish herbs was vague, and they couldn't even find the head when they were checked from the river pond.
The smoking ban has come from the north, and Zhong You no longer has to guard Jiangtang, he has to go to Xu Hang. He only gave Hou Ke a clear voice for the speculation about the insider.
The road to Xuhang was difficult because there were almost no boats. Zhong You followed the boat to Xuhangtong's military-cited ship. He rushed on the road in a hurry. When he arrived at Xuhang, he vomited in a dim sky and the earth was dark.
Zhong Xie had already been waiting for him. When he saw him get off the boat, he hurriedly handed him water to rinse his mouth. Zhong You had too much pressure and realized that Xu Hang had already collapsed.
"A piece of it exploded last night." Zhong Xie squatted on the ground to draw a picture of Zhong You, "I can't go to the east, Haiyi has built a wall and brought twelve crossbows, and we can't get through. Baiou." He drew heavily on his side, "I suspect Xu Hang has hidden his inner support."
Zhong You wiped the water and said, "What do you mean?"
"The gunpowder was not buried in advance, but was just blowing up the ruthless place when watching Qingping Army movements." Zhong Xie threw away the stone, lowered his head and grabbed the back of his neck, and then raised his head and said, "Chong Jing took people to look for gunpowder with injuries. A team of twenty people, half of whom died last night."
Zhong You lowered his eyes and stared at the picture. He stared for a while, and suddenly asked, "Where are the soldiers of Xu Hang's mansion? Qingping's army came to reinforcements. They cannot retreat. Where are the people?"
"Half escaped, most of the remaining ones smoked millet, which was useless." Zhong Xie arrived at Xu Hang and was pushed to the position of Deputy Commander Qingping. The deputy commander who was supposed to come was not delayed and pushed him to the forefront. After a few days, he almost broke his leg. He continued: "I can't transfer Xu Hang's troops, and Kyoto did not give a commander. With the 30,000 Qingping troops alone, even if Haiyi was pushed out, I could not catch up with the ship. Taking advantage of the current situation, I asked the Shanyin army to surround the sea from the back, but the emperor did not agree."
"The Lord does not allow it because of fear." Zhong You pointed to Zhong Xie, "If you think Xu Hang has an inner support, Kyoto may not be there. The Shanyin army is in the middle, standing in front of Kyoto, and it is the predecessor of the Jingwei Department. It can support Jing in the north and support Hang in the south. It is less than 100,000 yuan, so it is naturally not easy to wave. Moreover, the Shanyin army has been in the inland for a long time, so it is really a risk to let them get on the boat."
"Insider." Zhong Xie and Zhong You looked at each other and gradually frowned, "You doubt..."
"I have no evidence." Zhong You wiped the gray from his fingertips, and he stood up, looked at Xu Hang's ruins, and whispered: "Ruchen, I just think he is by my side."
Xu Hang had no snow and had a few days of cold rain. The rain was heavy, but it was beneficial to the Qingping Army. Because the rain was wet, the gunpowder was not flammable. Zhou Pu screened out more than half of the decision-makers, and Zhong You did not agree with this move. However, he had no official position and could only propose and could not make decisions. However, Zhou Pu's move quickly showed its usefulness. The decision circle was closed, and the Qingping Army's actions were only prophets in a small range. The other party seemed to have no definite information, and the gunpowder was gradually lost.
The heavy rain was pouring, and the Qingping Army took advantage of the rain to attack Haiyi walls from both sides. The reason why it could not be directly faced was because of the intimidation of the crossbow. This kind of crossbow with a range of thousands of steps and a sharp arrow as big as a gun was amazing and even the iron armor could not resist it.
Zhou Pu and Zhong Xie both wanted to supervise the army, and Zhong You went to the post station behind in the rain. Now all the letters coming and going through the post station were sent by Qingping Army.
Zhong You didn't touch the letter, he just asked the post station groom: "Is there any ships coming and going to Jiangtang?"
"I have not recorded it, but now there are many ships, and many ships from the unmarked places are crowded at the dock. If the young master wants to find a letter, he has to go to the dock to see it himself."
Zhong You thanked him and then rushed to the dock. This is the backest place of Xu Hang, where the people who failed to escape were all here. Zhong You walked along the way, and the alleys on the road were filled with people with family members. The heavy rainstorms were fierce, and many people had nowhere to hide in the rain.
Zhong You crossed the human leg and found that the boat docked at this moment was pressing against the door, and there was no figure. He raised his hand to block the rain, followed the railing, and began to quickly check the ship-shaped marks.
If the internal connection is connected, those in the inland must have received the fastest news from Xu Hang. Kyoto, Shanyin, and Jingquan are now unable to move. Only Jiangtang, which is close to Xu Hang, is when the people are fleeing chaos and is prone to accidents. Jiangtang blocks the latter, and Xu Hang's Qingping Army will be cut off and trapped in the encirclement.
This is a good opportunity. Zhong You guessed that the other party would not miss this opportunity, and he would definitely be closer to ensure that any movements of Xu Hang are in control.
But most of these ships are merchant ships and civilian ships, with a pile of new and old, and many marks. It would be impossible to just look at them, so Zhong You could get on.
Suddenly someone rushed out in the rain and shouted: "What are you doing! You are fighting in front of you now, don't drive the boat!"
Zhong You's heart moved, ran over and shouted loudly in the rain: "Can you receive the goods? Will this ship receive the goods after the coupon?"
The man stared at Zhong You in the rain, dragged the person under an alley, and said, "Smoke, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, soybeans
"Others." Zhong You were soaked all over. He took out a stack of semi-wet letters from his sleeves, "Can you send a message to your family?"
The man took it and flipped it over, "Where to send it? I won't go if I'm too far away."
"Nearly." Zhong You twisted the water, "Does Qingping give it?"
"That's far away, you have to add silver." The man gestured with his fingers, "It's a lot of money to go to Jiangtang. It's not easy to get around at this moment. We also tie our heads to the belt with things, and we have to have enough money. How much do you give?"
Zhong You asked: "There are many people running to Jiangtang. Do you take it? If you can take it, you won't send a letter."
"No." The man pushed the letter back to him, "That's not. Now Qingping Army has also investigated people, but the contacts are not enough. The rivers and ponds are also in chaos, and the letters sent out will definitely be in the hands of people."
"So." Zhong You said, "I just didn't want to go through Qingping's army, so I found this place."
"Don't worry." The man didn't want to say much, and just asked him: "How much money do you give?"
"You give me a number."
The man reported the number, and Zhong You touched his sleeve and immediately apologized, "Unfortunately, I didn't bring enough money. If you beat me, let me go back and get the money? It's easy to say, as long as you don't check the letter from Qingping Army - can it work?"
"It's the food that you eat." The man said, "Is the Shang Alliance? There are many things to pickle underneath, and it's related to smoke and millet. It's necessary to not pass through the Qingping Army. You can leave it to us to go on the water to ensure that everything is foolproof."
"Do you often send it?" Zhong You smiled: "There are so many letters in Jiangtang."
"There are more than other places. There is no way, the river pond is close to each other, and there are more people running over."
"Ah." Zhong You bowed, "Then wait a moment, and you'll come if you don't go."
The entrance of the alley had been squeezed, and the man pointed him behind him and could still go out in a big circle. Zhong You walked through the alley, and the road was narrow at the beginning, and there were many people lying. Behind him, they were all smoking and millet, and they all sank on the wall, looking half dead.
Zhong You turned the alley and passed a narrow passage. It was raining heavily, and water was accumulated under the eaves. He bent over and was about to pass. He was suddenly hit by a stick on his back, and his back was pushed. He was suddenly rolled into the narrow passage. The inside was dark, and someone quickly pressed Zhong You's back, put it on his back, tied him up, carried him up and walked along the alley.
Zhong You was kicked a few times on his back, and he was pushed against the shoulders and rolled in his stomach. His eyes were covered in black, and he could not see the direction, and he only caught a glimpse of panicked eyes flashing by in the lightning.
Zhong Xie was hit by Haiyi's rock shelling over the looking building. What happened in front of him was that he could not see it in the heavy rain. He climbed onto the broken platform, and the view was covered with rain.
"Big drum!" Zhong Xie shouted desperately, "Release the drum! Beat the drum and carry out the order!"
"No." Zhou Pu shouted: "It's too heavy! The march forward cannot hear it! Ruchen, retreat! Order to withdraw the troops!"
Zhong Xie's forehead veins suddenly jumped. Where did Haiyi get military resources? Their heavy attack weapon crossed several steps of the Qingping Army! In this heavy rain, the Qingping Army's arrows could not be shot at all, but the opponent's crossbow could easily penetrate thousands of steps and kill several people!
But he was unwilling to give up!
The marching forward has already broken up on the wall. I missed this rain and waited for another time. I don’t know how long it will take for the next time. The rain blocked them and also blocked the Haiyi. The arrows could not be shot out, and the single-slinged robe could only be thrown around. Both sides had to fight in close combat, which was the time to fight with real swords and guns.
The stones that hit the single-sled cannon roared above his head, and Zhong Xie squatted and avoided. The broken wall that was hit behind collapsed, and this power was terrifying. It was originally a heavy weapon for siege.
"Retreat!" Zhou Pu lay on the edge of the platform and said angrily: "I can't fight anymore! There is no command from the front marching, so people will die!"
Zhong Xie's chest was undulating violently. He cursed and was about to give an order. But before there was enough time, the iron caltrops set up under the Haiyi tripped the return journey of the march, which was no longer possible to be collected in front of him. The two sides were rammed and the original plan was impossible to connect with the encirclement. Instead, the opponent cut off the center line and hit the head hard. The brick pellets that were already prepared were hit from the wall and hit the person's shoulders, which could break the bones.
"Retreat..." Zhou Pu heard the screaming howl and ran a few steps ahead as the gravel flew, shouting like crazy: "The army at the entrance of the alley is withdrawn! Don't forward support! Don't forward--"
There was a sudden explosion in the broken alley, and the ruins collapsed again, and half of them were buried in the blink of an eye. Prepare to march from Wastemin Lane!
Heavy rain hit the bones.
Zhou Pu hugged his head and squatted down in pain. Zhong Xie saw the splattering limbs that were slamming and splattering in the explosion. He took a step back suddenly, his eyes ached.
Haiyi was prepared for a long time, and this raid was more like a slaughter that was delivered to the door. In this attack, nearly 10,000 Qingping troops were sent in.
The sharp whistle soared into the sky, which was the Haiyi who wanted to stick out the walls and attack. The battlefield had not been opened yet, and the battle still had to continue. Half of the Qingping Army moving forward were completely destroyed, and before the sword could be pulled out, the man died under heavy weapons.
Rain poured down, thunder roared on the sky.
Blood flowed out of the collapsed ruins and flowed into the mud ditch in a viscous and vivid way.
Zhong Xie felt ache in his chest, and he waved, "Reserve Army, defense-"
A "click" sound suddenly sounded behind.
Immediately afterwards, the steel forged arrows broke through the heavy rain, the cold light flashed, and broke through the raindrops, and nailed straight into the wall to build Shanghai Yi’s forehead!
"Go ahead."
The young man's voice was very calm, his arms were raised steadily, and his crossbow was mounted horizontally, and his hook teeth were crisply hung in the crossbow machine to change the steel arrow. In a blink of an eye, the steel arrow broke out again.
Shi Yu looked at the mountain with one eye, and the raindrops in front of his eyelids were dripping, and he didn't blink. He estimated the range and kept adjusting his shooting. The rhythm of swaying the knife under his index finger was very regular.
The people who were in charge of the formation in front of the reserve army were Shi Yu. These vulgar and rogue men in the palace who used to mingle with the ship, each of them was trained in an orderly manner once they set up a strong crossbow.
This is Meng Chen’s treasure at the bottom of the box.
Shi Yu passed by Zhong Xie without taking away his eyes, staring at him in front of him. The steel arrow was still alive. He was nailing someone else's head in a "crack" and asked Zhong Xie very indifferently.
