Chapter 674: Open the Eyes of the Southwest Chieftains

The Ming Dynasty now has a new military system that is being rapidly improved.

In Yingtian City, since several years ago, all the older generals among the generals, as well as those nobles who would not leave the capital easily for many years, have been placed in the martial arts hall.

Some people say that there are more lecturers in the martial arts hall than there are martial arts students.

To this, the answer is yes.

It's just that most of the meritorious and veteran soldiers do not participate in teaching the martial arts students.

They usually gather in the Chase Room, the deepest room in the martial arts hall, called the Combat Staff Research Office.

it's here.

It depends on what kind of training and combat tasks the officers and soldiers from all over the world are more suitable for.It's as big as how the latest steam warships that are being studied will be used in future wars.

Everything is done in detail, and it is deduced day after day by these meritorious veterans who are researchers of the Combat Staff Research Office of the Lecture Hall.

As private rumors began to circulate within the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Ming Dynasty might soon completely abolish the military household system and switch to a recruitment system for the army.Within the Combat Staff Research Office, brand-new research that far exceeds the current combat model has also begun.

Firearms are naturally the most studied among them.

At present, at least under the Metropolitan Government system, most people have determined that firearms will be the most important and core method of warfare in future wars.

Through firearms, a war is won.

It has become the biggest research proposition.

Take the new mortars produced by the Ministry of Industry and the Firearms Development Department as an example.

To this end, the Combat Staff Research Office has compiled a series of operational specifications covering manufacturing, storage, transportation, use, maintenance, etc.

It's only two miles away.

Although there are mountains and forests in the middle, you can't directly see it.

But for the officers and soldiers of the artillery camp, such terrain is not even difficult terrain according to the regulations for mortar operation and use, let alone a place of great difficulty.

After the officers and soldiers mastered the accurate distance between the position and Peng's Tusi City, they began to adjust the inclination angle of the muzzle.

The mountains and forests between the two places were naturally considered.

The shooting height of the cannonball is not a problem.

Hundreds of mortars were divided into three positions, which were the horns of each other.When the attack begins, these three artillery positions will naturally have corresponding attack positions.

The general of the artillery camp turned his head and looked sideways at the coach Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi was looking at the mountain path on the northwest side.

Tiqi, the most proficient in concealment in the Jinyi Guard, was constantly summarizing the situation in Peng's Tusi City on the other side of the forest ahead, one by one.

"The three thousand chieftain soldiers and horses of Yongshun Xuanwei Division stationed in Yongshun County have all ambushed in the forest southwest of Peng's Chieftain City."

"The dead soldiers raised by Chieftain Peng in the city have occupied the high ground on the northwest side. It seems that Peng has secretly built a powerful crossbow and is preparing to suppress Qin Shizi, Yan Shizi and others from a high position."

"The bonfire singing and dancing in Tusi City has come to an end."

A famous cavalryman in brocade clothes emerged from the mountains and forests and brought the news to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi raised his head and looked at the bright light above the mountain forest.

According to the agreement, they would only start bombing Peng's Tusi City if Zhu Gaochi gave a signal.

And this premise, in their plan, is to wait for the Peng family to make the first move.

Peng's chieftain in the city.

The singing, dancing and drinking banquet has come to an end.

Men, women, old and young began to leave. The Peng family seemed to have prepared some other projects, and another group of people came from various places.

For a time, the huge square in the middle of Tusi City was crowded with people, and the scene seemed quite chaotic.

Zhu Shangbing didn't know when he touched Zhu Gaochi's side.

He took a look and saw that he was still drinking with Zhu Gaochi, but now he was Peng Tianbao, who was carrying a wine jar not far away.

"They are ready to strike."

Zhu Shangbing stood next to Zhu Gaochi, pretending to hold a wine flask, and said something in the other person's ear.

Zhu Gaochi was smiling, but the hand hidden in his sleeve was always tightly clasped together.

But his other hand was holding the wine glass with natural movements, taking a few sips from time to time, and putting some fruits and vegetables sent by the Peng family into his mouth.

Zhu Shangbing looked at his appearance and felt a little anxious.

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What should we do now! Do we really have to wait for the Peng family to take action first before we can fight back?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled at this time and whispered: "Do you know what is the most tortured thing?"

Maybe it wasn't the current situation that was special. Zhu Shangbing swore that if he were in another place, he would definitely beat up this guy who was trying to trick the entrance.

But now, Zhu Shangbing could only grit his teeth and said: "What on earth do you want to say!"

"I'm just thinking that if the Peng family really wants to rebel, they must be given a chance to see how naive their ideas are."

Zhu Shangbing opened his mouth and looked blankly at Zhu Gaochi, who was smiling and smiling at Peng Tianbao who was choosing a drink over there.

"I think you are the most naive one." Zhu Shangbing cursed in a low voice.

The smile on Zhu Gaochi's face became even brighter: "I just want to be reborn to crush their illusory and ridiculous dream just when the Peng family feels that their dream is about to come true."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi raised his glass to Peng Tianbao, who was walking in the distance.

Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but tremble.

He murmured silently for a long time, then muttered in a low voice: "Why do I feel that you are as evil as Brother Hei now?"

"Hahaha, Prince Yan is really a good drinker!"

"Although there is a big age difference between me and the prince, I feel like old friends at first sight."

At this time, Peng Tianbao was already carrying a wine jar with both hands and came over from a distance: "Oh, Prince Qin, you are here. Come, come, Prince Qin will drink with you."

Zhu Shangbing was about to leave on the pretext of something, but Peng Tianbao had already grabbed his wrist.

Nothing can be done.

Zhu Shangbing could only glance at Zhu Gaochi beside him with a resentful look.

And in this remote part of Tusi City.

Peng Zhongzheng was hiding in the dark, staring at everything in the square in front of him.

Behind him were the dead soldiers of the brigade who had been raised by the Peng family since childhood.

Peng Yuan clasped his hands anxiously and stood aside, staring at his son uneasily.

"Are you really going to do this? If you order people outside the city and outside the city to evacuate now, you still have a chance to save it!"

Peng Zhong just looked at his father with a smile: "Dad, haven't you discovered a fact?"

Peng Yuan's face showed confusion.

Peng Zhong waved his hand and pointed at the dead men of the Peng family behind them: "Does father think that without grandpa's acquiescence, they would be willing to obey his son's orders?"

Peng Yuan had a dazed expression on his face. He looked at his son in front of him, and then at the dead soldiers behind them who had been raised by the Peng family for countless years.

Finally, Peng Yuan turned his eyes to Peng Tianbao in front, who was wooing the two princes and princes sent by the imperial court.

Peng Yuan's face was a little surprised, and his eyes were full of doubts: "Why? Why is this like this? Aren't you and father afraid that my Peng family's hundreds of years of foundation will be destroyed in one day? Are you willing to look at Yongshun's elders? Folks, are you caught in the flames of war?"

Peng Zhong sneered.

He looked at Peng Yuan: "So what? Father, you should think about it carefully. As long as we succeed tonight and guard Yongshun, the world will be in chaos. My Peng family will replace his Zhu family, and my grandfather will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Father, you will be the ruler of the country." Prince. When the time comes, my father can do whatever he wants to be benevolent and righteous to the people. Isn’t that enough for my father to be satisfied?"

Looking at his father who had nothing to say in front of him, Peng Zhong smiled on his face.

He turned back to look at the dead soldier of the Peng family behind him.

"Keep your eyes open, and keep your sights on me when I make my move next time. What happens tonight is my first step towards obeying the Peng family forever and heading towards the world!"

Following the young master's words, the dead soldiers of the Peng family who were hiding in the darkness waved their fists and silently hit their chests.

See that morale is booming.Peng Zhong looked at Peng Yuan aside again: "Father, tonight the two princes Qin and Yan will be detained by my Peng family. Tonight, my son will send people to block several mountain passes leading to Dayong.

Then he revised the book to protect Jingzhou, and allowed him to protect the Peng family in Jingzhou and treat him as a member of the Peng family and the throne.If we join forces with the Bozhou Yang family and others, we will form our own faction in the southwest, waiting for chaos in the Central Plains! "

Peng Yuan pondered silently for a long time, and finally spoke again: "The time has almost arrived."

Peng Zhong was stunned for a moment, then looked at his father in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, but laughter gradually began to break out.

His laughter no longer had any scruples, and he laughed without restraint.

"The hour has come!"

"Go!"

As Peng Zhong shouted, the entire Peng Chieftain City suddenly shook with thunder.

Countless footsteps came from all directions towards the city square.

Zhu Shangbing's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Peng Tianbao, who was in front of him and Zhu Gaochi, slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

Zhu Shangbing looked at Zhu Gaochi quickly, and just waiting for him to speak, he immediately sent out a signal.

A completely different smile appeared on Peng Tianbao's face. He looked at Zhu Gaochi in front of him: "Prince Yan... Gu..."

Peng Tianbao's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Zhu Gaochi in front of him.

His eyes were gradually covered with streaks of blood.

Zhu Shangbing's eyes widened as well, and his open mouth seemed to be able to swallow a whole steamed bun in one bite.

"You killed him!"

Zhu Shangbing swore that he had never seen Zhu Gaochi get bloody.

On weekdays in Beijing, Zhu Gaochi is someone who would not even step on an ant.

And now.

The dagger that came from unknown time in his hand was being held tightly by him.

The blade of the knife had completely penetrated into Peng Tianbao's neck.

Foamy blood began to flow out from Peng Tianbao's mouth and neck wounds.

"Send the signal!"

"Combine!"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes turned red, he looked back at Zhu Shangbing with a ferocious face, and roared angrily.

Zhu Shangbing was in a state of confusion, but he still hurriedly sent out a signal to the night sky.

The surrounding officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty began to move towards this direction desperately, fearing that they would come over.

And in the darkness beyond.

Peng Yuan and Peng Zhong rushed out frantically.

"father!"

"grandfather!"

It happened so suddenly.

Just when the Peng family started to take action, the prince Yan, who had never been involved in military warfare according to the intelligence, took action boldly and killed Peng Tianbao with a single blow with a dagger in his hand.

This incident was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Not only the Peng family, but also Zhu Shangbing who was sitting next to Zhu Gaochi.

"You are so brave! You dare to kill the head of the Peng family in our Yongshun Peng family chieftain city!"

Peng Zhong's eyes were bloodshot, and he led countless people to surround the city square from all directions.

Zhu Gaochi simply ignored it.

He lifted his foot and put it heavily on Peng Tianbao's chest, kicked him to the ground, and then stood up brazenly.

"Combine!"

"Anyone who dares to approach our army will be killed without mercy!"

Zhu Gaochi still held the bloody dagger in his hand, and stared coldly at the Peng family father and son who were leading people around.

Peng Zhong almost went crazy.

"None of you can escape tonight!"

"Tonight, this Tusi City will be your burial place!"

The dead soldiers of the Peng family had already come into contact with the Ming army and soldiers, and the two sides began to fight together.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were calm, and he just said faintly to Zhu Shangbing beside him: "Look, now is the time to completely shatter their illusory dreams."

As soon as Zhu Gaochi finished speaking.

A huge roar sounded at the same time.

What followed was a bright fire all over the sky.

Peng Zhong and the Peng family members raised their heads one after another and saw that the entire night sky was already as bright as day.

now.

It was as if the sky had collapsed, and countless meteorites fell from the sky.

Without allowing the Peng family to react, the shells fell into the Peng family chieftain's city one by one like raindrops.

"kill!"

"Kill toward the east!"

Zhu Gaochi spoke coldly and pointed his knife.

The position of the artillery camp is to the east. If they go east, they can naturally avoid the artillery bombardment.

With the artillery attack by the imperial army, the entire Peng clan chieftain city was completely in chaos.

Peng Zhong's face was full of shock.

"What's going on here?"

Peng Yuan's expression was complicated: "This is the imperial court's artillery, the imperial army is attacking..."

The Peng family is finished.

Even if they can keep Prince Qin and Prince Yan now.

The imperial army, which had traveled thousands of miles, had absolutely no chance of keeping the Peng family.

"The imperial court's artillery?" Peng Zhong looked surprised and full of disbelief: "Impossible! Tusi City is built on the mountain, surrounded by mountains and forests. How did the imperial court's artillery fall in my Peng family Tusi City!"

No matter how Peng Zhong thought about it, he would never have thought that the world now was no longer the world he knew before.

For artillery, there is no need to consider the shooting angle and range.

In the back mountain, the officers and soldiers of the artillery camp were completely open to firing artillery shells.

This was the first time that Ming Dynasty's new mortar was used in war.

Actual combat is the best way to test new weapons.

Next to the artillery position, the people from the Ministry of Industry and General Supervisors who were accompanying the army when they left Beijing were quickly recording various actual combat data.

These must be compiled and brought back to the capital when the time comes, and handed over to the Ministry of Works Supervisor and the Martial Arts Hall for verification and update of the data.

Tonight, it’s just a matter of letting these southwestern chieftains open their eyes first.
