Chapter 272
The most hateful thing is that Zhang Zhongjian was a good boy when he was studying. He only focused on learning professional skills such as investigation, tracking, counter-investigation, and counter-tracking. He didn't even know how to make a powerful weapon like gunpowder.
Not knowing how to make it would be fine, but he didn't know where to start.
On the contrary, those tomb robbers who came from the market were all doing well. When I was chasing Ah Hu, I was almost killed by his homemade musket.
If it weren't for Ah Hu's homemade musket, which exploded due to material and craftsmanship problems, I might have been killed by him.
"Sir, what should we do? It's not a solution to continue to surround like this." The head of the Huyan family said in a low voice.
Although he, the head of the family, is a Westerner, after a few days of living a life of luxury, he is a little reluctant to give up this identity.
If they can't take down the royal city, it is estimated that they can only accompany the lord in front of them to flee.
"Pass my order, all soldiers set up the pots and cook, and then attack the city with all their strength. You go up and supervise the battle in person. Anyone who dares to disobey orders and escapes in battle will be killed." Zhang Zhongjian ordered loudly.
If he delays, something will happen, and he doesn't want to wait any longer. Li Hao is the most important part of his return to the main world. The divine calculation only says that Li Hao can appear on Mount Tai, but it doesn't say that he can't be missing arms and legs.
If that's the case, even if he is beaten half to death and carried to Mount Tai, as long as he is still breathing, it will be fine.
Since Li Hao is ignorant of the times and unwilling to cooperate with me, then I don't have to think about the feelings of compatriots.
As Zhang Zhongjian's order was passed down, smoke began to appear in the rebel camp. As time passed, the whole military camp was filled with the aroma of food.
One by one, the skinny rebel soldiers sat on the ground with their wooden bowls in their hands, trying hard to dig the food in the bowl.
Today's food is good, and you can even see some shredded pork in it, which makes the new recruits who have never been on the battlefield very excited.
Such treatment makes the faces of the old hands change drastically. Before the war, it is normal to eat and drink enough, but the whole camp is full of smoke. Are these hundreds of thousands of people going to have a decisive battle with the defenders of the royal city?
Unlike the excitement of the newcomers, the old soldiers seemed a little silent and worried about their future.
The changes in the rebel camp naturally could not escape the eyes of the scouts who were responsible for monitoring on the city wall.
When they saw that the number of smoke was too many to count, the scouts' faces changed, and they also understood the importance of the matter. The scouts immediately reported the situation to the higher-ups, and not long after, the information was in Li Hao's hands.
"Look, this is the news from the scouts. Do you know why?" When it comes to picking up girls, Li Hao's ability is not inferior to anyone, but when it comes to marching and fighting, he doesn't understand much.
"Report to the general, according to my experience, the rebels outside the city want to have a decisive battle with us." When Fatty Chen heard the eunuch read out the information on the paper, he jumped out and reported immediately.
"Who can't see such a superficial thing? I'm asking why they suddenly have a decisive battle with us when they have an absolute advantage? Doing so will not do them any good. If the decisive battle fails, their army may collapse directly."
"With the wisdom of the leader of the rebels outside the city, he should not make such a low-level mistake, so there must be something we don't know about it." Li Hao doesn't know how to fight, but he knows people's hearts.
He and Zhang Zhongjian are both from the future, and he knows Zhang Zhongjian better. People in this kind of public office like to take steady steps and will not rush for merit.
"Sir, I guess it is very likely that our reinforcements are coming soon." The left prime minister stroked his white beard and shook his head.
Look, an old man in the family is like a treasure. Some things still need to be controlled by us old people. You people are still too young.
As the saying goes, a beardless mouth is not reliable. The general's red lips and white teeth are the most suitable to be a rabbit god. He is still far from being a general.
This is also because Li Hao can't read minds. If he knew what Zuo Xiang was thinking, he would definitely let Zuo Xiang know why the flowers are so red.
"Reinforcements, where can we get reinforcements?" Li Hao said with his eyes wide open.
Li Hao's previous plan was to rely on solid fortifications to stop Zhang Zhongjian's army from attacking the city.
Of course, if the city could not be defended, Li Hao would definitely take his people and abandon the city. Maybe when thatAt that time, Li Hao would be the first to run away, after all, he is the fastest.
"General, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Zuo Xiang looked at Li Hao and said helplessly.
"Daxia has been established for so many years, and the descendants of the Li family are also spread all over the country. How many descendants of the Li family are there, and what kind of high positions they occupy, except for Wei Mingshan Yu who was executed by you, probably no one knows."
"The rebels have been besieging the city for so many days, and the Li family members all over the country must have known about this. Even if only one-tenth of the Li family members rise up to support the king, the number of the army to support the king is probably an astronomical figure." Zuo Xiang shook his head and explained to Li Hao and Fatty Cheng.
"Sir, I just received news from Muzilou." Just as Zuo Xiang and others were analyzing the intelligence, Yan Shun ran in from outside with a note.
"Read out if there is anything, everyone here is our own people." Li Hao waved his hand and said casually.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xiang and others were immediately anxious, and they almost ran out.
Damn, General Li is a petty person, and his mind is probably smaller than the tip of a needle.
If the information his people read out is beneficial to him, it would be fine. If there is any privacy of his, such as corruption and bribery, in order to keep it secret, he will probably find a random crime to deal with himself and others.
"Just received news from Madam Lianxing and others outside the city, an army was surrounded and annihilated by the rebels outside Hulu Valley. Later, they rescued the leader of this army. After asking, I found out that the other party was a member of the Li family, and ran to the north to defend the king." Yan Shun spread out the note and read it carefully.
