Zhang Dingbian gave a military salute and immediately went to pull up his soldiers from the Zuoying to start forming a formation. The soldiers from the Zuoying followed the commander of the Zuoying and formed a neat team.

The soldiers in Zuoying are all new recruits, so the training time has not been long. Now it seems that these recruits are pretty good. Although they are a little jerky, the basic formation training has reached the standards of the general army.

"Deputy Commander, look, their movements are so standard!" Zhang Dingbian said to Zhu Han from the side.

Zhu Han looked at the marching queue and said nothing.

"Deputy Commander, our right battalion is not bad either!" Qi Xiang said from the side.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, let's take a look!"

"Listen carefully, follow my orders!" Zhu Han walked to the reviewing stand, shouted to the soldiers of the left camp, and waved the riding crop in his hand.

Snapped

With a sound, Zhu Han's riding whip hit the ground, making a loud noise.

"Three teams become two teams!"

"The front team becomes the back team!"

"Turn left in the left column, turn right in the right column, gather!"

Zhu Han's series of orders were all complex orders from the drill. After several combinations, the soldiers of Zuoying, who were originally in good order, turned into a mess.

Zhang Ding, who was standing next to him, looked at his subordinate soldiers and suddenly blushed, cursing in his heart: It's over, it's over, I, the cavalry, have to continue walking on two legs again, ugh!!

"stop!"

Zhu Han suddenly stopped his riding whip and shouted.

When Zhu Han shouted, the soldiers immediately stopped as if they were frightened.

"Zhang Dingbian, Zuoying looks like this, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Han pointed with his riding crop.

Zhang Dingbian blushed and said loudly: "Deputy Commander, I will practice more drills with them in the end!"

"Of course I have to practice more. I can't control my two legs well. I have to mess up my position after riding on the horse!" Zhu Han didn't blame him too much. He turned to look at Qi Xiang, the commander of the right battalion next to him, "Qi Xiang."

Xiang, how about your right battalion, do you want to practice this again?"

After hearing these words, Qi Xiang shook his head repeatedly. He knew that the level of his right battalion was as poor as Zhang Dingbian's left battalion. If he really followed Zhu Han's drill method just now, it would be a mess.

"Deputy Commander, no, no, the last general will also lead the right battalion to practice together!" Qi Xiang said quickly.

Zhu Han nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll give you three more days. If you can't complete such a simple exercise, then go to the kitchen and work as a cook!"

"Yes, deputy commander!"

When Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang heard this, they were immediately shocked. They jumped off the reviewing stand and took their left and right battalions for additional training.

Looking at the enthusiastic training of the soldiers, Zhu Han was actually quite satisfied. In just ten days, the soldiers of the Musketeers had basically completed the requirements of the drill for half a month, and they could definitely complete it in a few more days.

"Hu Yiba, go to the Munitions Department and deliver a thousand pieces of the newly arrived batch of canned meat to the Musketeers to reward them for their hard work!" Zhu Han said to Hu Yiba, the deputy general of the guard next to him.

.

"Deputy Commander, the Munitions Department only has 3,000 canned meats in total!" Hu Yiba said in a low voice.

"Looking at the way you are digging around, there will be a lot of canned meat in the future!" Zhu Han laughed and cursed.

Today, the New Army Munitions Department has produced a batch of galvanized iron cans, also known as tinplate cans, according to Zhu Han's guidance.

With this galvanized iron sheet technology, it is equivalent to opening the door to military cans.

As long as you put meat and seasonings in the can, then seal it and steam it, it can basically be stored for three to five years without any problem. Even if you add more salt, it may not be damaged in fifty or sixty years.

This new batch of canned meat was made. Although Zhu Han felt that the taste was not good and there was a lot of room for improvement, but after the whole army tasted it, they all regarded this canned meat as oily, salty and seasoned.

Military luxury!

After only two distributions, the New Army's tin cans of meat became the most in-demand hard currency in the army!

.......

Henan, Bianliang City.

Yuan Dynasty generals Cha Han, Wang Baobao, Li Siqi and others gathered an army of more than 200,000 people, carrying more than 20 newly cast heavy cannons, and surrounded Kaifeng City.

At this time, the Bianliang city wall was already scarred by the artillery bombardment of the Yuan army!

Under the supervision of Liu Futong and Han Lin'er, the Red Scarf Army is resisting desperately.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

There was another burst of artillery roar, and the Yuan army's artillery shook off large areas of the rammed earth on the Bianliang city wall!

"Fire for me, counterattack!" Liu Futong stood on the city wall, directing the artillery at the top of the city to counterattack. Unfortunately, the range of the Yuan army's artillery was far beyond Liu Futong's estimate, and the Yuan army had built strong fortifications on the artillery position. Liu Futong's artillery

There was no damage at all, but the Kaifeng city wall was beaten to pieces by several rounds of artillery fire from the Yuan army!

The Red Turban soldiers on the city wall were all trembling with fear and did not dare to act rashly.

"Prime Minister, what should we do? Our artillery can't fight back at all. Are we going to just watch the Tatars knock down the city wall?" A general under his command asked eagerly.

Liu Futong looked very embarrassed. He never thought that the Yuan army would build so many heavy artillery pieces in such a short period of time!

If the Tartars were given a few more years, I'm afraid their artillery would be even more powerful!

He was convinced of this, because since the Yuan army crossed the Yellow River to attack, such heavy artillery had been continuously transported to the battlefield. It was obvious that the Yuan Dynasty still had many skilled craftsmen in Dadu.

"Prime Minister, we can only wait for reinforcements now. Only when the reinforcements arrive can our crisis be resolved!" A general comforted Liu Futong.

"Wait, hold on for another month, reinforcements will arrive!" Liu Futong gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Liu Futong firmly believed that during this period, the Red Scarf Army from all walks of life must have received news that the Yuan army was moving south, and reinforcements from all walks of life would surely arrive soon.

However, Liu Futong only guessed half of it right.

The various Red Turban armies indeed knew that the Yuan army was heavily surrounding Kaifeng, and they all sent King Qin's reinforcements. They had all arrived in Henan, but not a single troop came near Kaifeng.

They all stopped and watched, because the Yuan army was really too powerful this time!

The entire Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty plundered all the financial and human resources from Dadu, Liaoyang, Shandong, Shanxi and other places to fully support Chahan, Wang Baobao and others in this encirclement of Kaifeng!

No one has the guts to go deep alone to rescue Kaifeng!

Therefore, the rebel generals from all walks of life are waiting for the Yuan army to make mistakes, or waiting for the Yuan army to hit their heads and bleed bloody in Bianliang, and then rush to rescue them, thereby reducing their responsibilities and avoiding losses.

heavy!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army suffer losses in Kaifeng, these rebel reinforcements will definitely take advantage of the situation and take action!

"Report!" Just as Liu Futong was anxiously waiting for reinforcements to arrive, his subordinates ran over quickly and whispered a few words into Liu Futong's ears.

Liu Futong was startled when he heard this, and then his face turned completely gloomy!

"Send the order and let the brothers at the top of the city prepare for defense!" Liu Futong ordered.

"Yes!" The ordering soldier took the order and left!

Liu Futong took Han Lin'er and others down the city wall quickly, and after returning to Bianliang Palace, Liu Futong said with a worried look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Kaifeng really can't be defended!"

When Han Lin'er and others heard this, they were immediately stunned.

Obviously just now Liu Futong said that the soldiers should defend the city well, why can't they defend it now?

"Prime Minister, how do you say this?" Han Lin'er asked anxiously.

Next to them, Guan Duo, Dong Da and others also looked at Liu Futong with worried faces.

"well!"

Liu Futong sighed first and then said.

"I just got a secret report from outside that the Tatars are surveying the embankments of the Yellow River!!"

"Researching the river embankment?"

Han Lin'er was confused.

As a young man, he didn't know what this sentence meant.

However, the faces of Guan Duo, Dong Da and others next to them were already pale!

"It's broken! The Tatars are planning to flood Kaifeng!" Guan Duo said through gritted teeth with fear and anger on his face.

"Dog Tatar, you are so vicious!" Dong Da also gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

Everyone else was equally frightened and furious!

Once the Yuan army digs the Yellow River embankment, Kaifeng will definitely fall.

Moreover, not only Kaifeng, but also the whole of Henan may suffer again.

At that time, even if Liu Futong and the others wanted to break out and escape, there would be no place to escape.

Once the mighty Yellow River water rages, there will be a muddy swamp for thousands of miles around. No matter what kind of hero you are, you will be fed by fish and turtles.
