Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

The young man standing next to Zhang Xianzhong was none other than Li Dingguo, who would later become famous as the king of the two kingdoms, but now he is still Zhang Xianzhong's adoptive son and takes Zhang Xianzhong's surname.

Zhang Dingguo pondered for a while, then said, "Father, I don't need anything."

Zhang Xianzhong stroked Zhang Dingguo's head and said with a smile: "You will save money for father, but now there is no need to save these things at all. These gentry are hateful. It's important to take their things to save face for them."

"Father, I want a long life lock made of gold." At this moment, a boy slightly older than Zhang Dingguo shouted to Zhang Xianzhong with excitement.

This boy is the eldest of Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, the famous traitor Sun Kewang in the future.Of course, at this time he also took the surname of Zhang Xianzhong, called Zhang Kewang.

There are also two teenagers in the big tent, these two teenagers are the future Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi.It's just that at this time they all followed Zhang Xianzhong's surname Zhang.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi again, "What do you all want?"

The two looked at Zhang Xianzhong, then at Zhang Dingguo, and shook their heads slightly, "We obey the orders of our foster father."

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the appearance of the two of them, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, you are worthy of my adopted son Zhang Xianzhong, with my Zhang Xianzhong's demeanor, when I break through Puzhou City, I will take you directly to Puzhou City Go. When the time comes, tell my father what you like, and my father will definitely satisfy you."

When the sun rose, Li Zicheng's camp also became noisy, but today Li Zicheng did not plan to attack the city, but scattered all his troops to search for the people.

As for Zhang Xianzhong, he sent all his men out to attack Puzhou City.

These thieves have only dropped their hoes for a few days, and they have not undergone professional training, and most of them are common people who have been searched, so when they attack the city, they always rush forward.

If it is pushed forward for more than ten years, in the Wanli period, if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong want to break through the city, it will not be a simple matter.

The magistrate of Puzhou stood on the city wall, and he looked at the thieves rushing towards the city wall under the city, with a bitter expression on his face.

"My lord, today the thieves seem to have suppressed all the people in their hands. I'm afraid our situation is not good." The master standing beside Zhizhou looked at the densely packed thieves under the city, his face was full of seriousness.

The Governor Zhi sighed, and sighed: "We have sent out people for help for several days, but there is not even a movement.

That's enough, let's not talk anymore, the bandits are going to attack the city.Hurry up and get the soldiers ready. "

Zhizhou patted the female wall on the city wall, sighed with ashen face, and then led the master to go down the city wall.

At this time, Zhao Wen gathered the three Zhou brothers and Zhao Daniu together.

Zhao Wen sat in the big tent of the barracks, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "According to Yebu's report, now Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, Ma Guangyu and other gangsters are attacking Puzhou, Daning and Yangcheng together.

And judging from the battle situation in the past few days, these counties can't last long.

In order to avoid confusion, I decided to transfer the refugees in Pingyang Prefecture to Xuan Town. "

Zhao Wen looked around and shouted loudly: "Zhou Lao Liu, Lao Qi, Lao Ba, you lead your troops, and I will match you with more than [-] people, a total of more than [-] people, and transfer [-] people. .

Before leaving, take all your food away.Remember, you must escort the people to Xuanzhen for me. "

"The last general takes orders!"

The three brothers of the Zhou family clasped their fists at Zhao Wen and said loudly.

"But my lord, we have taken all the food away. What should I do, my lord? The food delivery team has not yet arrived. There is no food in this city. I'm afraid it won't work."

Zhou Laoliu looked at Zhao Wen and asked suspiciously.

Even if he took away 8 refugees, besides these 8 people, there are still almost [-] people. What will these [-] people eat?

Zhao Wen smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to ensure that the refugees you transport can return to Xuan Town alive.

As for the food of the food team, if you meet them on the road, unload the food you need on the spot, and let them send the rest to Pingyang Mansion.

By the way, when you escort these refugees to Xuanzhen, come back quickly,"

Zhou Laoliu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When Zhao Wen's order was issued, the entire army began to move.

After Zhou Laoliu led Zhao Wen's troops to him, he headed out of the city.

Zhou Laoliu escorted [-] people this time, which can almost transfer all the people outside the city.

When Zhou Lao Liu came out of the city, he began to let people spread the word among the refugees.

When the refugees heard that these soldiers were going to take them to a place where they could survive, they immediately became excited.

People often say that it is hard to leave the homeland, but in this situation where you will die if you don't leave, no one will not follow the soldiers of Xuanzhen.

They didn't doubt whether what these soldiers said was true or not. After all, since they came to Pingyang Mansion, these soldiers provided them with a meal almost every day.

Although there is not enough to eat, it can guarantee that they will not starve to death.

It is not so easy to gather [-] refugees. After all, these are [-] refugees, and they are all refugees who cannot read a single word.

Therefore, Zhou Laoliu divided the [-] refugees into three groups and left in batches.

The first wave of 2 people was escorted by [-] soldiers, Zhou Laoqi was in charge, and left on the first day.

The third wave consisted of 3 people, escorted by [-] soldiers, Zhou Laoba was in charge, and left the next day.

The remaining 2 people were the third wave, escorted by [-] soldiers. Zhou Laoliu was in charge of it himself, and left on the third day.

As for the extra soldiers, Zhou Laoliu compiled them into night not receiving, which was used to pass news or investigate the situation.

After Zhou Lao Liu set off with the last wave of refugees, the outside of the entire Pingyang Mansion began to become empty.

However, the traces of life left by the refugees did not disappear, and the ground was full of sewage and mud.

The foul smell in the air has been persistent for a long time, after all, it is summer now.

After Zhou Lao Liu led the refugees away, Zhao Wen got some food from Liu Wenqing, and Zhao Wen distributed the food to the refugees in the city who hadn't left yet.

But the food they got was still too little, so in desperation, Zhao Wen had to stay in Pingyang Mansion, waiting for the food team.

On the third day after Zhou Laoliu left, Ye Bushou, who was sent by Zhao Wen to Daning, Puzhou and Yangcheng, brought back the latest news. At the same time, the food team also delivered food.

"My lord, now Daning, Puzhou and Yangcheng were captured by the bandits yesterday afternoon."

In the large tent at the station, Ye Bushou, who was extremely tired and had bloodshot eyes, stood in front of Zhao Wen and said pantingly to Zhao Wen.

"Okay, you go down and rest first." Zhao Wen waved his hand at Yebushou, and then looked at Zhao Daniu, "Assemble the soldiers, it's time to attack. By the way, you give Liu Wenqing the food sent by the food team. Let him distribute it to the refugees for us, and leave another 50 for him."

Zhao Daniu cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then went outside.

A quarter of an hour later, almost 400 people had assembled.

Zhao Wending, wearing a helmet and armor, rode on a horse and led the 500 people towards the bandits.

Originally, Zhao Wen wanted to attack when the thieves had not broken through the city, but the food had not been delivered, and the food did not arrive. Zhao Wen was really worried about the refugees in the city.So Zhao Wen has been waiting until now.

It was not too late to attack at this time, after all, the bandits had just broken through the city.As long as you act quickly, you can get a lot of people out.

Because Puzhou is the closest to Pingyang Mansion, Zhao Wen first came to Puzhou.

Zhao Wen stopped about five miles away from Puzhou, and he looked at Puzhou City with a telescope.

After a while, Zhao Wen put down the binoculars and said to Zhao Daniu who was behind him: "Give me an order, eat some dry food first, and plan to attack Puzhou in a quarter of an hour."

After Zhao Daniu passed on Zhao Wen's order, the soldiers opened the cloth pockets hanging around their waists, and dug into them with their hands to eat fried noodles.

These fried noodles are rich in lard and butter, which can provide soldiers with a lot of calories, so that they can have plenty of physical strength in battle.

Chapter 257

The entire team was eerily quiet. All the soldiers were quietly eating fried noodles, and their eyes were fixed on Puzhou City in front of them.

A quarter of an hour later, when all the soldiers put away the fried noodles, Zhao Wen drew out the long knife from his waist.

Holding a long knife in his hand, Zhao Wen turned around, looked at the messenger behind him, and said in a low voice, "Go ahead and launch an attack after a stick of incense. Now everyone checks the weapons and ammunition."

When Zhao Wen's order was passed on, the sound of loading bullets rang out from the entire team, and Zhao Wen also pulled out his big black star, pressing bullets into it one by one.

At this time in Puzhou City, Zhang Xianzhong was sitting on the main seat in the lobby of Puzhou Zhizhou Yamen.

He looked at Zhizhou who was tied up by five flowers, and asked in a cold voice: "Where is your family's silver? I don't believe that your Zhizhou family can only have less than 300 taels of silver. Tell me quickly, or I will not spare you."

Zhang Xianzhong slammed the gavel in his hand on the table, his eyes were full of fierceness.

Zhizhou knelt on the ground with scars all over his body, "Hehe, you are just a rogue, why are you so arrogant, when the imperial army arrives, your head will definitely be lost."

Zhizhou looked at Zhang Xianzhong and smiled sarcastically, which seemed to be a bit of generosity and elegy.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at this Zhizhou who was not allowed to enter, and shouted loudly: "You are a hard-headed person, but unfortunately you have fallen into Lao Tzu's hands. I will ask you again now. Are you going to say it or not? If you say it, then I will I can spare your life, otherwise I will definitely kill you."

"I am an official of the imperial court. How can I submit to you as shepherd for His Majesty the people of this state? I am originally from the south, and my family members are all in the south. Even if you kill me, what's the use?" Zhizhou said coldly. Looking at Zhang Xianzhong, his face was full of playful smiles.

Hearing these words, Zhang Xianzhong only felt that he was being played with, and immediately became angry, "Come on, pull this ignorant person out for me and transfer him to the city wall, I want to see his bones How hard is it?"

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, several big men pulled Zhizhou up and headed outside.

When Zhizhou was escorted out, he kept yelling, "You are just a bunch of bandits and thieves. When the imperial army arrives, you will die without a place to die."

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Zhizhou's back coldly, his face twitching in anger.

Time passed slowly, and after the time for a stick of incense passed, Zhao Wen looked at the sun in the sky, and then got on his horse directly.

"The whole army is attacking, targeting Puzhou City, kill." Zhao Wen sat on the horse, pointed the knife in his hand at Puzhou City, and roared loudly.

Following Zhao Wen's shout, the entire team erupted into a huge shout of killing.

"kill!!!"

Xuanzhen soldiers and horses rode on their horses, roaring and killing towards Puzhou City.

For a time, ten thousand horses were galloping, and ten thousand horses were equally famous.

"Be honest with me, otherwise you will be beaten severely." A big man who was holding Zhizhou looked at Zhizhou who was struggling non-stop, and sternly cursed.

How can the thin Zhizhou be the opponent of these big men? In the hands of these big guys, Zhizhou is like a chicken, and he can only let them pull him up to the city wall.

After a while, Zhizhou was taken to the city wall by these big men and hung on the city wall with ropes.

After finishing all this, these big men were about to go back, but suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes like thunder in their ears.

The big man looked out suspiciously, only to see a cloud of smoke rising into the sky, coming towards this side rapidly.

"What do you think is that?" A big man pointed at the cloud of smoke, his face was full of horror.

As Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses approached continuously, they finally saw the clothes of these soldiers and horses clearly.

"No, the shape of the armor on them seems to be an official army. This is an official army. Close the city gate first, and then report to the leader."

For a while, these people on the city wall began to panic.

"It's not good, there are officers and soldiers coming."

A big man rushed into the yamen with a panicked face, shouting loudly to Zhang Xianzhong who was sitting in the chief seat.

Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback for a moment, and stood up directly from his chair, with a look of disbelief on his face, "What did you say? Officer? Where did the officer come from?"

When Zhang Xianzhong attacked Puzhou, although he encountered a few support troops, the reinforcements he encountered were basically guards sent by nearby counties and counties.

Under Zhang Xianzhong's attack, he was defeated without even holding on for a moment.

After the city was captured, no reinforcements were seen again, and now a support army suddenly appeared, which made Zhang Xianzhong a little puzzled.

"I don't know where the officers and soldiers came from. These officers and soldiers are well-equipped, and everyone has horses and armor. The number is about one thousand three or four." The big man said urgently.

"What? There are [-] officers and everyone has a horse? And everyone wears armor? Have you seen it clearly?" Zhang Xianzhong asked with a look of surprise.

When Zhang Xianzhong was in Shaanxi, he was most afraid of cavalry.

When he was in Shaanxi, he fled eastward to Shanxi after being hunted down by cavalry sent by Hong Chengchou from Yulin Town.

Because of Hong Chengchou's pursuit, Zhang Xianzhong lost a lot of old camp troops.

Moreover, the cavalry in Hong Chengchou's hands at that time was only more than two thousand, and it did not reach the level where everyone had armor.

Even if his old battalion was defeated against the cavalry, what's more, his old battalion now only has less than a thousand.

Although there are still tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers and refugees in his hands, but these people, even if they are going to die against the cavalry, might drag him down.

Now when Zhang Xianzhong heard that they were all cavalry, and everyone was wearing armor, he panicked instantly.Even serious soldiers are very afraid of cavalry, let alone these mobs?

"We have closed the city gate, what should we do now?" The big man looked at Zhang Xianzhong, his face was full of anxiety.

As soon as he saw the cavalry outside the city, the big man remembered when he was chased and beaten by Hong Chengchou's cavalry in Shaanxi.

Zhang Xianzhong walked back and forth in the hall, his face full of gloomyness, the scene of being chased and beaten by Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi appeared before Zhang Xianzhong again.

If you can't hold the city, let these cavalry come in. Although there are only more than 1000 cavalry, you can still easily disperse your own men.

Zhang Xianzhong knew exactly what kind of stuff he had under his command.It's okay to fight with the wind, but if they are asked to deal with cavalry, this is simply a joke.Although the city is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, his men are still no match.
