Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty First: The Best in the World (Monthly Pass)
In fact, if the suspension bridge is closed, it will become a natural barrier with this high wall. Because the moat is connected with river water, there is a vast ocean at the end of the river. The Yan army has no navy here, which is enough to provide sufficient logistical support for the troops in the city.
However... Chen Kaizhi was not worried about logistics issues. On the one hand, a large amount of supplies had begun to be transported from the other side of the river. On the other hand, in this city, when the warehouse was opened, the grain was piled up like mountains, and several grain warehouses were full.
These are all food for the defenders, which is enough to keep the two thousand troops and horses for a year.
Originally, the Yan people used this place as the front line and planned to be besieged by the Chen army at any time. Therefore, even if the Warriors camp had an amazing appetite, there was enough food and fresh water here for a year.
There is also a special gunpowder warehouse in the city gates. The people of Beiyan are quite proficient in firearms. This is actually understandable. When they fought against the Hu people, they found that the Hu people were extremely afraid of firearms and was a powerful weapon to fight against the Hu people. Therefore, firearms are widely used. However, when Chen Kaizhi saw the firearms in the warehouse, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. There are crude muskets here. Because the muskets are not made of stainless steel, theoretically, they can be called iron guns. The iron gun is already rusty. The most important thing is that the surface of the iron gun is very uneven and the iron quality is very poor. It's okay to use it to scare the Hu people, but its power... OK, it's fine if you don't mention it.
The entire city was already busy, with plenty of gunpowder and food reserves. In addition, there were three hundred warrior camps and two hundred civilians brought by Chen Kaizhi.
These civilians were brought by Feiyu Peak. Soon, they began to take their place. There were special blacksmith shops and various military facilities in the city. At least this blacksmith shop could be used. Now the stove in the iron shop has begun to be transformed. The dozen craftsmen brought with them planned to change this place into a low-level version of the iron shop. Of course, precision muskets cannot be made here, but they can collect swords and swords of defeated soldiers in the city, as well as the weapons stored here, and all of them are returned to the furnace to make shells and various weapons.
Some people also collect gunpowder here specifically to supply military supplies.
The clinic has also been in place, and several doctors and more than a dozen apprentices have begun to collect medicinal materials from the city.
In addition, there were more than a thousand soldiers in Jibei, and they were all reorganized and used as auxiliary soldiers. They were all naked, oh... they shouted horns and carried the cannons onto the city wall.
In fact, the Northern Yan Army also had artillery in the city gates, but this artillery was too inferior. Even if it was used, it would be a waste of manpower, so it was directly re-refined and the steel was refined.
In addition, there are nearly a thousand officials from Jibei Prefecture. Chen Kaizhi can proudly announce that in this square one or two kilometers of city, the per capita management coefficient has surpassed the six countries and is the best in the world.
The civil servants were arranged to count the food and grass in the city and inspect the treasury. The servants could serve as auxiliary soldiers and maintain order in the city.
As for the officials, the frowning Li Dong was leading him, and he was on standby for the time being, so as not to cause trouble.
Now everyone must work together. If the city is broken, the Beiyan army that suffered losses will definitely carry out an indiscriminate massacre in anger. Li Dong believed in this, so although he was forced, when he realized that his destiny was blocked with this city, he volunteered: "Governor, I wonder what can Xiaguanren do? Should I give Xiaguanren and others some swords? In a very urgent situation, Xiaguanren and others can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
"You?" Chen Kaizhi was surprised at Li Dongzheng's proposal, and then smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li, why don't you sleep during the day and be responsible for night patrols at night? Oh, and, will you do handicrafts? This is a delicate job. You have to wrap the gunpowder bags, mixed with iron sand and steel balls. You can take someone to make it."
Now that everyone has entered the city, Chen Kaizhi directly ordered people to put away the suspension bridge. This small city block is already crowded with more than two thousand people, looking as solid as a solid person.
Those who wanted to be lucky realized that they had no way out. They looked at the fortress surrounding the river in despair, and they were in it, and there was no room for any choice.
The Warriors Camp is obviously completely different from these officials who are a little dejected, and they all look energetic.
They gathered together in groups of three or five and began to convey Chen Kaizhi's orders. Xu Jie happily wiped the gun mouth on the fort. He seemed very serious, and he told Qiu Ba around him: "The governor said that this time, the Northern Yan army suffered a great loss, so it must be a retaliatory siege. Many of their siege equipment were not yet available, but because they were eager to take down the city and find their own face, they must be attacking fiercely because there were too many people. So this time, we must beat them to the pain, the better the more painful it is. Only in this way can they know how powerful we are."
"Because of this, this cannon is the top priority, all of which are used for flowering bullets..."
"What else did the governor say?"
"I think about it." Xu Jie began to think about it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he continued: "The governor looked at two horses in the horse circle. He said, "Spring is here, and it is the season for animals to get along again."
So everyone scooped their stomachs and thought hard. What is the mystery in this sentence?
"Someone!" At this moment, Xu Jie suddenly yelled.
But at this moment, a team of cavalry appeared on the horizon just north of the city gate.
It is a cavalry, a cavalry of Northern Yan.
It has been two days since. During these two days, Chen Kaizhi has made various arrangements in a row, and the Northern Yan Army finally responded.
Of course, their large army had not arrived so quickly, but the scouts and the cavalry who were ahead would definitely arrive.
Instead of approaching the city, these rattles circling around the city block, and then they began to unconsciously gather towards the stone bridge.
Chen Kaizhi had already received the news. He hurriedly climbed the city wall, staring at the cavalry with a close eye, but smiled slightly. The Northern Yan Army's revenge was indeed very serious.
Hundreds of raids rushed to the stone bridge at the same time, with their purpose unexplained.
They obviously did not intend to let the people in the city cross the river and return to Chendi.
I think their purpose is to wipe out Chen Jun in the city blockage to serve as a warning to You.
This is almost exactly consistent with Chen Kaizhi's prediction.
In the past two days, after observation, it was found that the city block was attacked, and the other units of the Chen army did not make any moves. They believed that this was just a chance action of Chen Kaizhi, not a full-scale attack by the Great Chen court.
At this time, they still had Japanese attacks in the east, and the fact that the alliance between countries had not yet begun. Since it was impossible for the two countries to carry out large-scale troops, in order to retaliate, it was obviously the best and fastest solution.
But they didn't know that Chen Kaizhi didn't plan to leave at all. He was waiting for them to come here.
"Then...just come!"
Chen Kaizhi's eyes were bright and he shouted directly at the ranger at the stone bridge.
The guards behind him knew that this was an intermittent attack by Governor Chen, so they didn't mind.
……………………
Northern Yan, Yanjing!
A quick report was delivered to Kyoto in Dayan. He held the express report in his hand. The young emperor was so angry that his lips turned blue. He almost fell to the ground, and then said angrily: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. It's so damn!"
Suddenly, he thought of something, remembered what Mr. Fang Wucai said, "The disaster is in the south."
Is this... the disaster Mr. Fang said?
sky!
His eyes flashed and he said hurriedly: "Go up and go to Honglu Temple."
Now, he had too many doubts in his heart and had to go to Mr. Fang to ask him clearly.
As soon as there was movement in the palace, the civil and military officials of Dayan immediately received the news, and many people came to see him. When the emperor left the palace, he saw that there were many people waiting outside the palace gate holding their breath.
"What are you here to do?" The young emperor didn't like to ride a chasing, but liked to ride a horse. At this time, he rode an imperial horse, and behind him were teams of imperial guards.
The Great Governor Yan Jiuling stepped forward with a serious face and said, "Your Majesty is going to look for the envoy of Da Chen again? Your Majesty, I think this is the conspiracy of Da Chen. Obviously, this envoy and the Chen army of Zhangqiu have already passed the news... This..."
The young emperor sneered and glared at him coldly: "Do you mean that they had planned to raid the border town of Dayan, and Mr. Fang deliberately revealed the news to me, right?"
“…”
Suddenly, Yan Jiuling didn't know how to answer.
Yes, since they are going to attack the border of Dayan, why do they still need to make news in advance? They also specifically told you Yan people that a disaster is coming in the south, so they should let Dayan be careful. Isn’t this... Isn’t it a brain disease?
"What's more, I heard that this was the reckless act of the Warriors' camp. The monarch and minister of Chen were not aware of this. They were all secret reports from scouts. The man named Chen Kaizhi was really bold, but you didn't think about it. Even his behavior was hidden by him. He and Mr. Fang had no relatives and no reason. Why did he disclose the news to Mr. Fang in advance? Do you still don't believe in Mr. Fang?"
Yan Jiuling still said distrustfully: "But... why does Your Majesty think that Mr. Fang will definitely treat His Majesty frankly? Your Majesty, don't forget that he is the envoy of Da Chen."
"Because..." The young emperor was about to blurt out, because in his eyes, I was the person chosen by God, just as Jiang Ziya chose King Wen of Zhou!
But he almost said this, but he was swallowed into his stomach. Now the six countries checked and balanced each other. If he said this directly, it would not only arouse suspicion from various countries, but also make all countries believe that the Northern Yan has the ambition to annex the world, so that people can strengthen their defense against Northern Yan, and even besieged by other countries.
So he sneered: "I believe in Mr. Fang."
