Chapter 487: General, let me talk about Zhang Xian
Let’s talk about the prefect of Daming Prefecture, Huang Qianshan, who was only 40 years old, had reached such an important position. It can be said that he was glorious. If the Liangshan Army had not risen, the land of Hebei was in danger, and Huang Qianshan could be said to be proud and full of ambition.
But now I am in panic all day long. I wake up at night and sweat all over my head, I am afraid that the Liangshan army will break into the city.
His clan's brother Huang Qiandetian was the governor of Mengzhou. He had already fled to Daming Mansion at this time, but he had not expected that he would throw himself into the prison and could not get out of the way. He lamented every day, and he had long since shouted so much bitterly.
If so, both of them fell into Li Si's eyes.
On that day, Daming Prefecture City collapsed. Although the Liangshan army failed to enter Bacheng, the whole city was shocked. As soon as Zhang Suo issued a decree, he received an invitation from Huang Qianshan, but he said that he wanted to have a banquet for the huge family in the city at night and plan the efforts of everyone to defend the city.
"Why did the prefecture in this way?" Tonight is the top priority, and there should be no negligence at all. At dusk, the bandits of Liangshan used the gap offensive as a cover and took elite troops to the broken wall. If Wang Yan had not handled it properly, he would have arranged the wooden women's walls layer by layer, and blocked them with caltrops, deer antlers, and horses, I'm afraid that the cities on all sides of the Daming Mansion would have fallen. There is still some leisure to go to the banquet?
Huang Qiande wiped his forehead and said, "Grandpa Zhang Rong reported that this night banquet was for the husband to come forward. Before that, the city wall collapsed in the south of the city, which made the city panic. There were countless rumors and rumors. Although the words were absurd, the influence was extremely bad. If you want to quickly stabilize the people in the city, it must be those gentry and wealthy families. In this way, my elder brother invited the big families in the city to come to the banquet, and asked the officials to invite the husband to come for a while. This is also a big event."
Huang Qiande said it was reasonable and well-founded. Don’t say that Zhang Su was very convinced after hearing it. Even Zhang Xian felt that it was like this. “Then Huang Qianshan seemed to be useless, but he didn’t want to be useful.”
The voice of the servant was not good in Daming Mansion. If the Liangshan Army broke into the city, it would be a disaster. It seems that the people on the same boat are working hard now.
After this, the Zhang family and his son went separately. Zhang Xian went to dispatch troops and strengthened internal defenses. Zhang Su led a team of personal soldiers to follow Huang Qiande to the prefect's office for the banquet.
The latter was indeed crowded with people and was not lively. Zhang Suli heard the hilarious sounds there from a distance. He then told Huang Qiande: "This is a wonderful method. Looking at the people's peace and prosperity can calm the people's hearts and shock morale." Huang Qiande only said that.
When the Zhangshou arrived at the back court of the government office, the banquet had been set up, and the big houses in the city were also invited, which was complete. Only the atmosphere among the people was different, and there were many depressed people inside.
The two met each other, and Zhang Su was immediately introduced to the chief seat by Huang Qianshan. With Zhang Su's arrival, the banquet began.
Seeing that the people were not angry, they raised their glasses and drank, and looked around them. There was no one. Zhang Su stood up and said, "Mr. Zhuge Wu of Ji Han once said: I deeply think that the Han Dynasty is not in harmony, and the king's career is not biased. With the wisdom of the previous emperor and the talent of the ministers, I know that the ministers attack the thieves, and the enemy is strong. However, if you do not attack the thieves, the king's career will also be destroyed. Who will attack them? Therefore, I entrust my ministers to doubt it."
"How similar is Ji Han and my Daming Mansion today? You are here to help Zhang defend the city with your servants, and the Han and the thieves are not in harmony. The day when the city is broken is the time when I, Zhang, died, and it is also the time when you are martyred. Fighting with the thief is death, and waiting for death is also death. Why don't you fight hard to make the world know the loyalty and martyrdom of our generation? Leaving this famous name in history is also admired by later generations?"
What Zhang said was very loyal and fierce, just like what was said in "The Memorial of Later on", a kind of loyalty and heroic spirit overwhelmed the words. But these words must not make the people present happy when they heard them. Even those who had not moved closer to Li Si had a look of twilight expression after hearing what Zhang said, and they smiled ugly.
"What the grandfather said is different. The king of Qi is kind and everyone in the world knows it. If Grandfather Zhang changes the picture at this time, the king will be happy and will not lose his wealth. Who can sit and wait for death!"
Wearing a black cotton robe, Li Si got up and walked out of the sequence, speaking loudly.
Zhang Su was furious and said, "Where is the soldier? I have pushed him out and killed him." However, he did not argue with the visitor and shouted directly. At this time, he should use thunder means to use harsh hands. However, he cannot give such people the opportunity to be discerning, so as not to bewitch people's hearts.
At the same time, Zhang Suo also became suspicious of Huang Qianshan around him. How could such a crazy thief enter and exit the official office? Could it be that he...
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Huang Qianshan with a pair of eyes, "You..., what a thief." But he saw Huang Qianshan holding a crossbow in his hand, with the sharp crossbow arrow on it pointing at him.
Zhang Su was immediately furious. "You are a thief. You have received a lot of grace from the imperial court. During this difficult time, you treason for the country and surrender. I really wish I could see through Ru's face as soon as possible and kill him to warn him."
Zhang Suo was furious and said that he was about to pull out the sword on his waist, but he felt a little empty-handed. It turned out that he had already removed the sword when he entered the table. But Zhang Suo still held his fists and threw himself into Huang Qianshan, putting life and death aside.
The servant behind him seemed to be serving a wine, holding a wine spoon in his hand, and immediately fainted.
There was a noise at the banquet, but it was soon overwhelmed by the sound of marching armor running out of the two sides. But I saw hundreds of soldiers wearing armor pressing over from the left and right, and the gentry and wealthy families who had not participated were immediately silent.
"Don't worry, everyone. Today is a forced one. Xiaoke first introduced himself. He is the head of the Daqi Intelligence Department and the Daming Station. His surname is Li and his name is Si. He will greet you."
If it were Thunder and Thunder, the Daming of the Liangshan Army's Intelligence Department had already spread all over the world, and the Daming Station was in charge, and the position was not low. Such a group of big families, whether they had known the information for a long time or refused participants, now they all stood up to return the gifts.
"Everyone knows that the city has collapsed. Although Mr. Zhang has built another city wall inside, the difference between the city walls formed in a few days and the Daming Mansion is so huge. The former has collapsed, how can the latter be preserved? Moreover, there are no reinforcements outside the Daming Mansion and no strong soldiers inside, and the day when the city is broken is ready. At that time, if Mr. Zhang builds a building on the street like this and fights, a war will overwhelm the original place, and the loss can be imagined. Perhaps after a fierce battle, this Daming Mansion will be like the Tokyo City, and the scenery will not be there."
"You are all local giants. Based on this, why do you have to be obsessed with it and not save yourself, so as to avoid the situation where the military and civilians are killed and the jade and stones are burned?"
This was the time for those insiders such as Jia Yi to perform. They all came out and bowed to Li Si: "Please beg the general to rescue him."
Even Huang Qianshan was also under Li Si at this time.
In this way, people are all group animals, and when they are driven by this, there is a scene of group response immediately. In this way, countless followers hurriedly returned home with their own letters from the head of the family.
Waiting for Zhang Xian to find something wrong, it was already two or three quarters of an hour later. He immediately led his troops to the prefect's office. It was precisely at this time that the Liangshan Army's offensive began at night.
The cannon rocks hit the wooden women's wall not far from the broken wall, above the earth bag and sandbag. Among them, the huge wooden balls cut through the sky with raging flames, just like meteors.
This kind of incendiary bomb is a wooden ball that is soaked in oil, taken out and dried, and then immersed again. This is repeated. If a fire ball "drink full" the oil, it will burn for four or five hours without interference.
Fireballs were large torches, which soon made the city red.
The Liangshan Army drums were beating rapidly, and the horns were sounding loudly. The soldiers rushed forward like a tide and rushed forward like crazy.
Once the defender's city wall was broken, the morale of the army was already in chaos. Even if the Zhang Suo built two city walls early, it would be useless. Lu Qian did not choose to attack in one go. After the attack, he just asked the stone cannon troops to extend the bombardment. That was because the defender was prepared. From Zhang Suo to a small soldier, he knew that the wall would be over sooner or later.
Therefore, although the morale of the army was shocking, he could still hold on for a while. So, Lu Qian took a step back and asked the cannon cart to bombard the new city wall behind him. After only one hour of gunfire, he was already full of cracks. Obviously, its quality was far worse than the Daming Mansion city wall.
Lu Qian just told everyone to know that this new city wall was not worthy of any reason. At the same time, it was also a wrong signal to the defenders. He wanted to use the same trick again and again to defeat the new wall with the stone cannon. But in fact, he launched a fierce attack when the night was covering the earth.
In the dark night, people's vision is blocked, and they rely more on their ears and are more likely to be grasped by fear.
When fire bombs and cannon rocks flew, rumbling sounds continued; bed crossbows aimed at the city wall in the flames, and the pedal arrows penetrated straight into the city wall, and the soldiers stared at the arrows and climbed upwards; and then ladders were laid at the gap, shouting to kill the sky, and the soldiers of Liangshan soldiers rushed to the top of the city. At this time, someone shouted: The city was broken, the city was broken...
Lu Qian didn't think that the soldiers and horses in Daming Mansion could hold on. Not to mention that at the critical moment, the Zhang family father and son disappeared. Then Zhang Xian would not leave the father of the prefect's office to go to the city to fight bloody battles without caring about it.
When there were also loud roars in the city, although only a fire was lit, burning some empty houses that were uninhabited and were specially vacated, this hit the defenders fighting on the city.
Wang Yan first felt that the situation was hopeless. Especially when he knew that the prefect Huang Qianshan was rebelling, Zhang Su was trapped in the prefect's office, Zhang Xian led his troops to siege, and forced his father to besiege him. He sighed to the sky: "What can I do if I don't bless Song?" So he asked someone to raise the flag and surrender.
Seeing Hao Siwen, he said, "General, let me talk about Zhang Xian. We will stop each other from fighting, which will reduce casualties and add one or two heroes to the King of Qi."
