Chapter 194: Kill the Lingshan Acropolis directly and scratch his eggs

Feng Yangyi's expression was naturally quite complicated. Of course he understood that Zhang Zhun was setting up an image for him! With Zhang Zhun's words, why didn't the military households in Xiahe Village thank him repeatedly?

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "It is not a big problem to help you recover Xiahe Village, but you must cooperate with Feng Yangyi to do a comprehensive work. I believe you will not trust him anymore. No matter what kind of group, in the final analysis, you must have a backbone. Feng Yangyi is your backbone and your core."

Dai Yu and Wang Ding's family were immediately overjoyed.

Zhang Zhun actually asked Feng Yangyi to go back to Xiahe Village, which was really great.

Dai Yu hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry, what happened last time will definitely not happen again."

The Wang Ding family also said fiercely: "That bastard Zhao Feng, we have all been fooled by him. This shameless old guy turned around and defected to Wang Jian and killed so many of our brothers! After he went back, we were the first to settle the score with him."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said deeply: "Since you two understand, I won't say much. What should I do after I go back? You all listen to Feng Yangyi. I don't want to hear any discordant voices. Do you understand what I mean?"

Dai Yu and Wang Ding's family both said repeatedly that there was absolutely no problem.

At this time, a spy rushed over to report some things to Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun's eyebrows suddenly rose, then nodded quietly, and said, "I understand, pay close attention to this matter. If there are any changes, please report me at any time."

The spy left.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on Dai Yu and Wang Ding's family again, and he said slowly: "Are you ready?"

Dai Yu and Wang Ding's family hurriedly said, "Sir, we are all ready."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said decisively: "You set out tonight, and I will arrange for ships to transport you. Yang Zhiyuan will lead the soldiers of the guard team to help you conquer Xiahe City. He will also stay in Xiahe Village for a while to help you stabilize the situation."

The three of them are even more grateful.

Everyone knows that Yang Zhiyuan is one of the oldest backbone of the guard team. He and Hao Linyong are called Zhang Zhun's right-hand man. He has the richest combat experience. With him leading the team, his chances of winning will naturally increase. However, when Zhang Zhun was driven away that day, Yang Zhiyuan had a relatively strong temper. Later, Yang Zhiyuan did not attend the banquet. If he had a grudge in his heart...

Brigadier General Zhang called Yang Zhiyuan and ordered him to lead a team of soldiers to escort Feng Yangyi and others back to Xiahe Village. A small team of the escort team had a total of fifty soldiers, plus officers at all levels, only more than sixty. However, Zhang Zhun felt that fifty people were enough. Because when they arrived at the front of Xiahe Village, something big was about to happen in Lingshan Guard. Wang Jian could not have the strength to reinforce Xiahe Village.

Brigadier General Zhang Zhiyuan called aside and said expectantly: "Tiger head, do you have confidence?"

Jerry Yang said calmly: "I'll give it a try."

Zhang Zhun nodded and encouraged, "When you encounter difficulties, listen to the opinions of the soldiers more. You have more than 60 subordinates, and as long as one person makes better suggestions, it may produce great results. The first team has the largest number of members of the Shengxia Sect, with six, plus you, there are seven. Just take the first team to go there."

Jerry Yang said: "Sir, I can save it."

Zhang Zhun nodded, turned to look at the sea outside, and suddenly said with some emotion: "In a blink of an eye, eight months have passed. This time passes so quickly!"

Jerry Yang also had deep feelings and was difficult to control himself.

Eight months ago, they were all poor military households who couldn't get rid of the pot. After a meal, they had no meal. Now, they have become officers leading troops, with a group of lively young men under their command. Their families have also undergone earth-shaking changes, and all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation have undergone qualitative changes. Moreover, from now on, he will start to be alone. This means that in the future, he will achieve greater achievements.

Zhang Zhun said: "I have forgotten all the past things in Xiahezhai."

Jerry Yang said firmly: "Sir, I am determined to be consistent with you!"

Zhang Zhun nodded, patted Yang Zhiyuan on the shoulder hard, and said in a deep voice: "Go! If you have any difficulties, send someone to tell me at any time!"

Yang Zhiyuan stood attentively and saluted and made great strides.

...

After the four left, Zhang Zhun stood quietly for a while and suddenly shouted: "Liu Jixiang!"

Liu Jixiang hurried in: "Sir, what are your instructions?"

Zhang Zhun said: "Call Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu, Fang He, Liu Dong, Hao Linyong, Yang Zixuan and others."

Liu Jixiang agreed to go.

This is the military camp of the guard team. In addition to the four commanders of the navy, Hao Linyong and Yang Zixuan were all close to each other. After receiving the order, they came over immediately. Looking at Zhang Zhun's face, they knew that a battle had happened. Yang Zhiyuan had just left, and he believed that he was going to carry out a combat mission.

Yang Zixuan said expectantly: "Sir, are we going to attack the pirates?"

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "What are some good suggestions do you have?"

Yang Zixuan had no choice but to smile helplessly.

If the pirates come ashore, the guards will of course let the other party lose their appetite. One or two hundred pirates come ashore, which is not enough for the escorts to eat. However, the pirates are cruising on the sea, so they have no choice. He can't fly, so what good suggestions can he have? Even if he wants to fight, it's still a matter of the navy, and it has little to do with the infantry.

Hao Linyong said unwillingly: "Sir, why don't we design another pocket, just like the Tartars?"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said calmly: "It's impossible. The pirates know our strength and will not get ashore easily."

Hao Linyong had no choice but to smile helplessly.

It seems that the guards themselves have no way to take revenge in this battle that was bullied by the pirates, and they can only look forward to the performance of the navy. I hope the navy will grow as soon as possible and do not allow those pirates to continue to appear on the sea near Fushan City.

Not long after, Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu, Fang He, Liu Dong and others arrived one after another.

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "There is a change in Lingshan Guard and Mo Yu was arrested."

It turned out that the news that Zhang Zhun had just received was Mo Yu being arrested. The information was sent by Yi Litao, so naturally there would be no mistake. After Mo Yu returned to Lingshan Guard from Fushan Station, he didn't know what happened, but Wang Jian was caught. At present, Mo Yu was detained in the dungeon. The dungeon has always been the ones that Wang Jian detained the most dangerous prisoners.

Although Mo Yu has never been a member of the guard team and has no contact with Sheng Xia Zong, he has done something for Zhang Zhun after all. Well, these are irrelevant. What’s important is that he provided Zhang Zhun with a once-in-a-lifetime excuse. It took Zhang Zhun two days to covet the Lingshan Guard next to him. However, if you want to attack the Lingshan Guard, there must be an excuse, right? Mo Yu is the excuse.

Hao Linyong's eyes were lit and he said eagerly: "Sir, should we attack Lingshan Acropolis directly? Or should we take a detour to Xiahe Village and attack in a roundabout way?"

Zhang Zhun said unquestionably: "What are you doing to him who dares to catch our people? Just kill Lingshan Acropolis! Catch his eggs, and you are not afraid that he will not release others!"

Everyone was ready to beat their hands and their morale was rising.

Those damn pirates cannot reach and cannot be directly eliminated, but the Lingshan Acropolis is just a Mawan. Everyone thinks it is not difficult to attack the Lingshan Acropolis. As long as they can successfully land in Lingshan Guard, there will be no suspense in the next battle. As for whether they can land in Lingshan Guard, it is not a problem. Mawan has no protection at all.

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "My opinion is to leave two teams of the First Association to continue to monitor the pirates and the enemies in the direction of Jimo. The rest of the troops will follow me to attack Lingshan Acropolis. The sailors must also go ashore to fight and gain practical experience. Do you have any objections?"

Of course there is no objection.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said decisively: "Since that's the case, go and execute the orders! All are ready! Let's set off tomorrow morning! Be careful, bring more ammunition! There is no ammunition to replenish at the Lingshanwei for the time being!"

Everyone agreed and scattered with excitement.

Soon, all the soldiers of the guards were preparing for the war urgently. Because of the confidentiality of the news, most of the soldiers thought they were in trouble to find the pirates, and they were all full of energy. The adults told them to bring more ammunition, and each soldier filled his body with fear that there would be insufficient ammunition. As for the Hu Ben gun, they were wiped and repaired carefully to ensure that there would be no faults when the battle occurred.

Zhang Zhun shouted again: "Ma Yi!"

Ma Yi came over hurriedly.

Zhang Zhun pondered and said, "Have you made any progress recently?"

Ma Yi shook his head and said, "Not yet. However, sir, as long as our troops arrive at Lingshanwei, he will definitely come to see us."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "I will leave Fang Yu's affairs to you."

Ma Yi said confidently: "Sir, please rest assured, I know how to do it."

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and Ma Yi left.

The Fang Yu they mentioned was actually the representative of the rebellious military households of Lingshan Guard. Like Aoshan Guard, the life of the military households of Lingshan Guard was equally miserable. Since decades ago, Lingshan Guard had always wanted to launch a rebellion. Due to geographical location, Lingshan Guard had a lot of salt owls, and the wind was very strong. However, Wang Jian, the hereditary commander of Lingshan Guard, was more capable than Zhao Yinying, and was bloody and decisive in dealing with military household rebellion. Fang Yu and the others dared not act easily. However, if the guards arrived, Fang Yu and the others would definitely take action.

For Zhang Zhun, he also needs local people as a guide. Compared with Fushansou, Lingshan Guards are a huge leap in terms of population and land. Without the help of people familiar with the local situation, it would be difficult for Zhang Zhun to completely control Lingshan Guards. He has no foundation in Lingshan Guards.

The next day was August 18th in the seventh year of Chongzhen.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zhun led the Second Union and Third Union of the Guards, a total of 300 people and a 100 sailor team, boarded the boat at Queqiao Bay. After half an hour of sailing, he successfully stepped onto the land of Lingshan Guard. After getting ashore, he walked west less than 30 miles, and was Lingshan Acropolis.

When they learned that Zhang Zhun was leading the escort, Lingshan Acropolis had been on high alert and the whole city was on guard. The military households outside the city avoided them because they were worried that the war would affect them. Of course, there were also many military households who warmly welcomed Zhang Zhun and others to arrive. After they got ashore, there were local military households on both sides of the road, silently watching the escort march.

The slogan of "equal land and exemption from service" has gradually spread in Lingshan Guards, and many military households are looking forward to the arrival of Zhang Zhun. Now, Zhang Zhun has finally arrived, bringing them hope. However, as the saying goes, care is chaotic, and worrying about gains and losses, these military households are also a little worried. I wonder if Zhang Zhun can successfully conquer Lingshan Acropolis. After all, Lingshan Acropolis is not a small city like Fushan City!

"What a big city!"

When Zhang Zhun saw Lingshan Acropolis for the first time, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Lingshanwei, in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372 AD), Xu Da, Duke of Wei, was transferred to command the commander Zhu Xing to build a Tucheng in order to prepare for Japanese pirates. In the second year of Yongle (1405 AD), and in the Hongzhi period, it was expanded twice, outsourcing bricks, four gates and buildings, and the streets were crosses, all in a square shape, and the shape was like a chessboard. Since the establishment of Lingshanwei, it has been an important military fortress and a sea outpost front in southeast Shandong.

Zhang Zhun observed that the shortest walls in Lingshan Acropolis were three meters high. As for the thickness of the wall, there was no doubt. There were four gates in the acropolis, and there was a solid city tower above each gate. Behind each gate, there was a urn city. To be fair, if there were no firearms, the price to pay to conquer such a strong city would be quite high.

In addition to the Xiahe Village front office, there are four thousand households around Lingshan Acropolis, with the total population of more than 50,000. Compared with the original thousands of people of Fushan, Lingshan Guard is a real behemoth. However, for Zhang Zhun, it is not difficult to eat such a behemoth.

Standing outside the east gate of Lingshan Acropolis, Zhang Zhun raised a thousand-mile mirror and carefully looked at the head of Lingshan Acropolis. It was obvious that there were quite a few defenders of Lingshan Guards, and behind the battlements, there were crowds of people. A rough estimate was that there were at least a thousand people. Wang Jian's organizational ability was indeed much stronger than Zhao Yinying. In such a short time, he pulled up a defensive team of thousands of people. However, he was not as lucky as Zhao Yinying. The first acropolis that Zhang Zhun attacked was Lingshan Guard.

"Sir, Fang Yu is here."

Ma Yi brought someone to Zhang Zhun.

He is Fang Yu, a local military householder of Lingshan Guard. Fang Yu is very short and solid, with many whip marks on his body. I don’t know how it was made, but it probably has something to do with Wang Jian. Fang Yu’s legs and feet are not very flexible, and it seems that he has been injured.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said gently: "Hello."

Fang Yu said respectfully: "Sir."
