Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3477 Death Battle
Countless shells flew from Kunming Lake, dragged arcs in the snowy night sky and fell into the rebel formation. Amidst the loud noise, countless rebels were either annihilated by the fire or blown to pieces. After a round of shelling, the rebel rear collapsed.

The generals of the rebel army saw that the situation was not good, and while dispatching men to Kunming Lake to try to snipe the naval ships and prevent the shelling, they ordered the troops to retreat.

The rebels rushing to the bottom of the wall lacked support. Facing the crossbows and firearms of the guards on the wall, they couldn't resist the rounds of firearms. , The previous fierce offensive was immediately frustrated.

The location of the artillery bombardment happened to be the beginning of the combination of the front army and the rear army of the rebel army, forcing the rebel army to temporarily stop entering the palace, otherwise they would not only face the firearms of the guards on the wall, but also bear the bombardment of the ship artillery, and the casualties would be too great. Big……

This gave the guards and students on the wall a chance to breathe.

Departing from the Academy, the moment they arrived at the Foundry Bureau, they engaged in a tough battle. Their preparations were seriously insufficient. Cen Changqian immediately ordered: "Treat the wounded immediately, replenish firearms and ammunition, reorganize the reserve team, and lead by Ouyang Tong to strengthen the main gate to avoid being breached by the rebels! "

At the beginning of the construction of the Foundry Bureau, although military use was also considered and the walls were reinforced as much as possible, after all, they were not as thick and solid as the city walls, especially the main entrance was relatively thin. , it is very likely that it will collapse in the next attack of the rebels, causing a huge hole in the entire defense.

Once the rebels broke into the foundry, no matter how sharp the firearms of the guards were, they could still resist...

"Here!"

Although the black and thin Ouyang Tong fought fiercely for a long time, he was in high spirits, shouted loudly, and led a large group of reserve troops down the wall, supported the main entrance with a wooden frame, and transported discarded stickers from the warehouse with a wheelbarrow. , Slag, piled behind the door to form a hill, although the main door collapsed, the rebels would never even think about coming in.

Seeing this situation, Cen Changqian on the wall was immediately inspired, and quickly ran down from the wall to gather with Ouyang Tong.

"Brother Ouyang, this wall is so thin that it may not be able to withstand the onslaught of the rebels. It will only collapse sooner or later. However, the casting bureau is full of blast furnaces, many houses, and the terrain is complicated. Hiding behind and shooting with firearms, with the warehouse as the center to resist every step of the way, what do you think?"

Ouyang Tong's eyes became brighter, he looked at the bunkers piled up behind the main entrance, and knew that Cen Changqian was inspired by this.He pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "This plan is very good! There are many buildings in the casting bureau, and the roads are narrow. Even if the rebels rush in, it will be difficult to give full play to their superiority due to the terrain. Let's hide behind the bunker to avoid being shot by the rebels." Shoot the crossbow directly, and then resist the enemy with muskets and thunder, and it will definitely kill the rebels on a large scale!"

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the rebels can receive continuous reinforcements, so it is doomed that it is difficult for the defenders to hold the front line of the wall.If this method is adopted, even if the wall is lost, it can still be used step by step to resist the rebels with firearms.

In the end, it may still be difficult to win the game, but it is extremely difficult for the rebels to break through the city wall and go all the way to the warehouse to seize the firearms. Even if they succeed, they will have to pay a huge price.

Cen Changqian turned her head and said loudly, "Who has the topographical drawings of the casting bureau?"

In the distance, Liu Xun rushed over when he heard the sound, thought for a while and said: "Of course there are some in the government office. Why don't you two go with me, so that we can take the opportunity to discuss strategies to resist the enemy."

Cen Changqian and Ouyang Tong looked at each other and nodded together: "That's very good!"

Immediately, the two of them accompanied Liu Shi to the office of the Foundry Bureau, asked the clerk to light the lamp, and then rummaged through the cabinet next to the wall to find a thick pile of drawings, hugged them together and put them on the desk. After reading one by one, I finally found the architectural layout drawings of the Foundry Bureau.

The three of them watched carefully with the lights on, and saw that the blueprints clearly marked the locations of the blast furnaces, buildings, and school grounds in the foundry bureau, and they had a clear view.

The three of them immediately compared the terrain, routes, and the distribution of houses in the foundry, and arranged them one by one. Where is suitable for bunkers, which can effectively curb the charge of the rebels, and where should be stationed heavily to prevent the rebels. Breakthrough, where can we bury gunpowder underground, and detonate it when the rebels gather here, which can cause great damage...

Most of the time, it was Cen Changqian who took the lead in making suggestions, and Ouyang Tong checked and made up for the omissions. The two of them were quick in thinking and talented, and they arranged the fortifications in the entire casting bureau clearly without any pause. Liu Shi had almost no room to interject, expressing shock from the sidelines.

Based on his knowledge, Cen Changqian and Ouyang Tong have already been shocked speechless. He thinks that if these two people are placed on the front line, they may not be enough to be a general for the time being. More than enough.

Is this the ability of academy students?
Like Cen Changqian, Ouyang Tong, or Xin Maojiang, how many young talents are there in the academy?

Undoubtedly, with the talents and abilities shown by these people, they will definitely not be ordinary people in time. Coupled with the profound backgrounds behind each of them, it is inevitable that they will soar into the sky after graduating from the academy and entering official careers.

Considering the huge size of the academy, even if there are so many students who cannot be so outstanding, even those who are slightly inferior should not be underestimated.These people will be scattered in all levels of the empire's military and government in the future, plus the newcomers one after another, what kind of terrifying energy will they build up?

And on top of this energy, what kind of status will Fang Jun, who created the academy with one hand and is highly respected by the students of the academy and regarded as the leader, be in?

Thoughtful...

Just when Cen Changqian and Ouyang Tong were discussing in full swing, and various tactics and strategies emerged one after another, while Liu Xi was in a daze, the door was opened from the outside, and Xu Jingzong, who was dressed in military uniform and armored body, walked away sullenly. Come in.

Cen Changqian and Ouyang Tong stopped discussing and bowed in unison: "I have met the master!"

Liu Shi on the side also clasped his fists: "Master Xu is very polite."

He is a doctor of the Ministry of War, although his grade is lower than Xu Jingzong's, he is not subordinate to each other, so he is not regarded as a subordinate, so just a little compliment is enough.

When Xu Jingzong entered the room, he cupped his fists and bowed back to Liu Xun: "Mr. Liu is very polite."

Then he straightened up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the two extremely outstanding students in front of him with complicated eyes, squeezed out a smile in front of him, and said softly: "We are under the edict of the prince, don't stick to the foundry bureau, even if you are smashed to pieces, you can't let me die." The Foundry Bureau has fallen into the hands of traitors! However, the situation is extremely grim at the moment of the enemy, not only need to be united and take death as home, but also need a careful strategic response, in order to live up to the trust of His Royal Highness."

He absolutely cannot bear this kind of treatment.

Although these bastard students are too strong and lack the necessary respect for him, but since he came to the casting bureau under the order of the prince, no matter whether he lives or dies, he must demonstrate his status as a "leader". On the side, firmly suppressed?

Therefore, he needs to participate in the overall defense strategy of the foundry bureau, and play an important role in it. He can give up the dominant position, but he must not be idle and watch the excitement...

Cen Changqian and Ouyang Tong looked at each other, and the former said: "What Master Bo said is right, so I discussed it with Master Tong, and we have decided on the next defense strategy, please rest assured, Master Bo."

Xu Jingzong: "..."

I don't care what a ghost!

Not to mention how depressing it is to be ostracized by you, at least my life needs to be protected. A group of you bastards who haven't even grown up have got together and muttered together to set the strategy?

His face was extremely ugly, but he managed to restrain himself from getting angry, but said in a deep voice: "As the master of the academy, I am now the highest official in the academy. At this time of crisis, how can I just stand by and shirk the heavy responsibility on you?" Waiting for the shoulders of the students? No matter what, I must do my best, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

This remark has taken a lot of steps back, and it is almost impossible to say "You can't make me empty, anyway, I am also the master of the academy. I can let you come first, but I must participate"...

This is not easy for Xu Jingzong who is greedy for money and power.

But he also has to do this. Right now, these students don't take him seriously at all. If he reacts too violently, who knows if these daring bastards will simply kill him and make him a "heroic sacrifice" fake scene...
