Chapter 29: Familiar with Prince Yu of the Three Kingdoms
At noon, the fog dissipated and the sky was clear.
At the top of the city wall of Hangzhou, all kinds of materials for defending the city have been piled up, and the people are sitting on the ground everywhere, drinking gruel and eating big cakes.
Fang Yuanke is inspecting various artillery pieces. Because it was too humid in the morning, these Dafolan cannons need to be cleaned and maintained.
"Look! Someone is coming!" A soldier guarding the city saw a group of cavalry heading towards Hangzhou City in the distance and hurriedly warned.
In an instant, the soldiers at the top of the city dropped their food and ran to their respective positions, loading powder and arrows, ready for battle.
Fang Yuanke lay on the crenel and watched nervously. At this time, his sight was good, and he instantly saw clearly that it was the white armor of the Qing army, so he hurriedly shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
The archers obeyed the order and stepped forward one after another, ready to shoot at any time.
The Qing army quickly reined in their horses. Fang Yuanke took a look and saw that they were really old and stopped just outside the range of the bow and arrow.
But seeing that he didn't look like a Qing army scout, Fang Yuanke became confused again.
At this moment, a horseman from the Qing army's cavalry slowly drove out. He looked like a Han, dressed as a scholar. He rode his horse forward slowly. As he walked, he shouted at the top of the city: "Generals at the top of the city, don't let them go."
Gun, the prince asked me to bring you a message..."
"You traitor, you fart quickly, or I will pierce your heart with thousands of arrows!" Fang Yuanke scolded fiercely.
"Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty has a personal letter to King Lu to supervise the country. Put down the hanging basket quickly." The scholar was scolded and did not dare to argue. He hurriedly took out Duoduo's letter, waved it and shouted.
Fang Yuanke nodded to a team leader and quickly lowered a hanging basket from the top of the city.
The scholar quickly rode forward, put the letter into the basket, and then prepared to turn the horse's head back.
Suddenly there was a sharp roar in the air, and a cone-shaped arrow pierced his chest and penetrated his entire body.
The scholar looked down blankly, then fell off his horse, his eyes wide open, and he refused to close his eyes.
The white-armored soldiers in the distance suddenly laughed and chattered to each other, as if they were making a bet.
The Ming soldiers at the top of the city looked at each other.
Fang Yuanke held the letter in his hand and stared hard at the white-armored soldiers who were still in the bow and arrow range to provoke the patrol, and his heart was filled with anger and blood.
"Damn, that's too much! Liu Shichang, pull up my Folang machine cannon and find a way to hit him." Fang Yuanke slapped the city bricks and gritted his teeth.
"Yes! But General, isn't this too extravagant?" Liu Shichang, who was having sex, whispered.
"Those are the Baya soldiers with white flags. If you kill me, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Damn you!" Fang Yuanke said angrily. The battle has not yet begun, so the Qing army cannot take advantage of it.
Otherwise it will affect morale.
When Liu Shichang heard that there was a silver reward, his eyes immediately gleamed. He put the old cigarette pot in his hand on his waist and hurriedly called his artillerymen to get in position.
After a period of calculation, Liu Shichang issued the order to fire.
Just hearing the roar of the Dafolang machine cannon, the huge iron ball was shot towards the white-armored soldiers.
The Qing cavalrymen who were chatting leisurely with each other were shocked when they heard the sound of the cannon. They did not expect that the Ming army would fire directly. Without any precautions, they saw two companions in the team disappearing in front of them, including their horses and men.<
/p>
The few survivors panicked and ran away. At this time, they saw a pool of flesh and blood scattered on the ground in the distance. They were even more frightened. They kept riding horses and whips, and soon disappeared from the sight of the defenders.
.
Seeing this, the city suddenly burst into cheers.
"Tch, these Tartars are not as evil as the legends say!" Xiao Wu stretched his neck and looked into the distance, saying disdainfully.
"I thought they had three heads and six arms..." A colleague on the side said in surprise. This was the first time he saw the Qing army. It looked like they had the same head.
There is no difference between the two hands.
"Who did you listen to?" Xiao Wu looked at his companion with disdain and said.
"I heard it from the fellow countrymen who are in charge of supervision, and their General Chen told them." The companion replied with a confident look on his face.
Two days ago, during the rest period in the camp, he had a small gathering with his fellow villagers who were assigned to the Governor's Biao Camp. He heard from the fellow villagers that their General Chen drank with them in the camp every day and played with money. He said that the Qing army was a god descending to earth.
, each of them can equal ten to one, and they are extremely vicious. If you offend the Qing army, they will eat you alive.
At this time, their corps commander came over. He was a gray-haired officer. He walked up to the two of them and slapped each of them with a reward.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" the captain yelled angrily.
The two of them immediately stood upright obediently, not daring to look directly at each other.
"Tatars are human beings, just like you. It's embarrassing for you to be a coward!" The team leader became angrier as he spoke, and kicked the two of them in the butt again.
At this time, Minzhuang and other soldiers around him burst into laughter.
When Fang Yuanke saw this, he did not stop him. Instead, he hurried to the palace to deliver the letter in person.
......
In Prince Lu's Mansion, Zhu Changzi was directing the guards in the mansion to place something in the backyard.
Li Bao was also busy and sweating profusely.
At this time, Fang Yuanke, led by the little eunuch, came to the backyard.
As soon as he came in, Fang Yuanke saw the huge object on the ground. When he looked carefully, he found that it was actually a map, but it seemed to be three-dimensional, and even the terrain was decorated with decorations.
"Fang Yuanke?" Zhu Changzi called out when he saw the young general coming in in a daze.
"Oh, the last general deserves to die, please forgive me." Fang Yuanke came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
"Hahaha, get up. I heard that Duduo wrote a letter to this king?" Although Zhu Changzi was in the palace, he had already ordered Li Bao to report all major events in the city from time to time. So he knew about the person who came to deliver the letter.<
/p>
"Report to the Supervisory State, this is the letter from the pseudo-prince Duduo." Fang Yuanke hurriedly stood up and presented the letter.
Zhu Changzi nodded, took the letter forwarded by Li Bao, and read it on the spot.
Fang Yuanke was about to retreat, but he didn't want to be stopped by Zhu Changzi, so he waited quietly aside.
Zhu Changzi, who was sitting on the stone bench, couldn't help laughing loudly after reading the letter. He stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "This Duduo has actually started to write and write, hahaha."
Fang Yuanke looked up at the white clouds in the sky, ah, the sky is so blue.
Li Bao smiled naively and did not dare to answer.
"How can dogs and pigs fight with tigers, and fish and shrimps fight with dragons in vain? Today, the only heroes in the world are the supervisor and my brother. Why don't you imitate the good story of making wine with green plums? Please stay in the pond for a while."
Zhu Changzi recited the contents of the letter while pacing back and forth with a smile.
This Duoduo seemed to be very familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The always serious Emperor Shi Huang couldn't help but feel amused. Who is Cao Mengde, and can you and other barbarians compare with him?
"Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much, but you must not believe what the Tatars say." Li Bao struggled for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to remind him.
"Ha! He is worthy of making wine with me!" Zhu Changzi said with a disdainful smile.
