Chapter 340 The drums of war are beating

The sound of horse hooves just now scared the large group of refugees and retreated half a mile and more.??

Later, Gao Fangping was on the city wall and saw a group of more than fifty cavalrymen approaching the county town quickly.

"Who is coming!" Liang Hongying raised her voice and asked in a question on behalf of Gao Fangping.

"Pei Yancheng, Daming County, is in charge of the military commander of Daming Mansion, and is ordered to come and pass the order." Someone shouted in the cavalry ranks.

When they arrived at the city, they all tied their horses, raised their heads, and placed the torch near their faces according to the rules, so that the people on the city could see clearly their appearance and clothes.

When Gao Fangping saw that it was indeed Pei Yancheng and Suo, Wang Wu of Hutou Camp also followed him and said happily: "We're finally here, Kaicheng let them in."

After the team of more than fifty people entered the city, Pei Yancheng turned over and got off the horse. He didn't even have time to take a sip and ran up to the city with his hands on his back.

Seeing Gao Fangping, the anxious Lao Pei couldn't speak. Gao Fangping, who was even more anxious, waved his hand and said, "Put it down, has Liang Zhongshu approved the action?"

Although Pei Yancheng was a little annoyed, he nodded and handed the document to Gao Fangping and said: "Approve the Yongle Army's advance to Gaotang!"

Gao Fangping opened the document and confirmed it, put it in his arms, turned his head and ordered: "The beacon fire is sent! Shi Wengong's troops immediately advance to Gaotang!"

Two soldiers from Tiger Head Battalion immediately poured hot oil on the firewood that had been prepared long ago.

After throwing a torch on it, the fire soaring into the sky rose with thick smoke. The pile of firewood like a pagoda burned wildly, and the flames soared into the sky...

It's late at night.

Thirty miles away, Xiao Niu Gao, who was always on standby on a mountain bag, saw the beacon signal from Gao Tang direction and immediately shouted: "Light the beacon, hurry up!"

So a soldier who was waiting for the order immediately turned on the tinder oil and ignited the raging fire...

One, two, three...Along the line from Gaotang to the Jeju border, fires kept lit up at night.

Fifty miles north of Yang1gu County, it is the junction of Jeju and Boju.

The Yongle Army Camp has been waiting for a long time again.

A guard on the high ground saw a fire rising from a distance at night. When he turned his head and shouted, "The beacon signal appears thirty miles away, and the beacon signal is confirmed."

"The beacon signal appeared thirty miles away, and the beacon signal was confirmed."

"The beacon signal appeared thirty miles away, and the beacon signal was confirmed..."

So I transmitted the message all the way, and in a blink of an eye it was uploaded from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

A personal soldier entered the camp and woke Shi Wengong who was resting and said, "General, thirty miles away, beacon signal appeared south of Wang1guan Pass, and the beacon signal was confirmed. Please indicate!"

Shi Wengong urgently promoted the tent and summoned the generals to start marching matters. Many details and orders were conveyed. After the assembly was completed, Shi Wengong stood up and shouted when he came out of the tent: "Abandon the baggage, abandon the vehicles and tents, and there is no need to save horsepower. The marching force is marching with all his might. The general received the order that it is now starting, and it takes less than sixteen hours to Gao Tang, and all those who have come out of the tent will be killed!"

"Well, our Yongle Army's equipment is very valuable. If you abandon it and get picked up by Ah Cat and Ah Dog, the loss will be too great!" A Shi Wengong's personal soldier muttered.

Shi Wengong kicked him and said, "The loss of military capital is the problem that the great devil is worried about, not me. As the chief general of this marching, my responsibility is to abandon all objective conditions and complete the marching order!"

...

After Pei Yancheng arrived, he had taken half a reassurance pill, so it was the first time in three days that Gao Fangping left the city wall. He sat down in the cottage and began to tell Pei Yancheng what was happening and informed each other.

Gao Fangping has never liked nonsense, but what he had no choice was that Pei Yancheng was a military supervisor appointed by Lao Liang. As a military supervisor, he certainly had the right to know the entire story and all Gao Fangping's thoughts.

Fortunately, Pei Yancheng is not a stupid official. He is a person who truly works at the grassroots level and controls the hearts of the people. Of course, he knows that when winter is approaching, a large number of fugitives gather together, what may happen if they are instigated by those who are interested.

After tightening his eyebrows for a long time, Pei Yancheng snorted coldly: "I heard some of your Gao Fangping's policies in Daming County. At that time, I knew that you crazy people were playing with fire. The court prohibited the gathering of fugitives and demanded that you should vigorously pursue fugitives and not indulge them. There is a reason for the introduction of a national law. These are all good things you do for pork."

"I'm asking you to come here to help you, not to ask you to give me some popular science on the law, right? I didn't let him Gao Lian follow suit. I can blame me for this?" Gao Fangping said in surprise.

Pei Yancheng pointed at Gao Fangping's nose angrily and said, "Silly guy, do you know what a precedent is? You know what a 'leader' is. At that time, in Daming County, I had already commented privately. Your success in pork Ping may not be able to be copied. If you have the ability to walk on a single-plank bridge, it does not mean that others have it. The Changgong of Mengzhou and the Zonggong of Jingzhao Prefecture imitated you and did it, it does not mean that there are no hidden dangers. If there are people in Gaotang who are damaged on a large scale, you, Gao Fangping, will not be blamed!"

Gao Fangping couldn't help but be scolded and his face turned red, and he said: "Aren't I trying my best to remedy it? And this may not be the sin of my Gao Fangping model, but some people who are interested are treason! Let me give you a question, a kitchen knife can certainly kill people, but someone is killed by a kitchen knife. That is the murderer who wiped out human nature and cannot arrest the blacksmith who casts a kitchen knife!"

"You are sophistry." Pei Yancheng sneered: "I would really catch the black blacksmith who cast kitchen knives for this! Do you think there are few craftsmen arrested for this in Daming County? If there were no such black blacksmiths, the cast iron tools were controlled by the government according to national laws, and all the output of murderous weapons was recorded, which could be greatly reduced and control such incidents."

"However, it is useless to say so much. Under strict control, such incidents are still emerging one after another. This proves that the policy of controlling iron casting itself has flaws. Due to deep-seated reasons such as land annexation, the demand for labor production tools in the Song Dynasty is far beyond the scope of the ability of the government to monitor. If you don't understand, I will teach you a word, which is called the fault tolerance rate of society itself." Gao Fangping said.

Pei Yancheng was also frightened by him for a few minutes, and then turned around: "It sounds nice. Don't think that I don't know what your Xiao Gao is thinking. You always emphasize that the crime is the 'hand' holding the knife. It is clearly magnifying this problem infinitely. Leaning towards the Chai family, I heard that they have a grudge against your Gao family?"

"It's a grudge, but I should be these thieves. Do they have grudges against me, Gao Fangping? What's the point?" Gao Fangping said in surprise.

"You little gangster, come here, and you will be fooled by you. I, Pei Yancheng, will not. There is no evidence of the crimes of the Chai family, but your Gao Fangping's personal inference. This time, this is the action of the Beijing Left-behind Office, and as a military supervisor, I will not be used as a gun by you, and I will not allow you to act recklessly just for the inference of catching wind and shadow. The Chai family is not an ordinary family. Please give me peace of mind on this issue." Pei Yancheng pointed at his nose again and said.

The second time he pointed at his nose and scolded him like a little brat. Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes, which was a bit like hitting someone.

Liang Hongying knew his temper best and knew at a glance that he was going to do it, so she hurriedly pulled him out to get some breath. What made Liang Hongying most depressed is this place. This kid is a perfect fighter, but he also likes to overturn the table and hit people the most.

Pei Yancheng stood up and left the cottage, disappeared before saying, "I am on the top of the city, so he let Gao Fangping take a break, and his eyes turned red."

So Gao Fangping fell asleep, and this time he slept relatively peacefully.

Gao Fangping didn't sleep for three days, and this time he slept until the next dusk and still did not wake up.

As the sunset began, the situation took a sharp turn, and the sound of thunder of war drums came from the city gate. Gao Fangping, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up.

Liang Hongying has been guarding her side, and she just heard the sound of drums, so she didn't know what happened.

In an instant, a county government sent in and his legs shook, saying, "I reported to the county magistrate, the mob began to attack the city, Gao Tang was in a hurry, and there was also a fire in the direction of Gao Mansion in the city, and there were shouts of killing. The situation was critical, but there were still no reinforcements!"

Xun put on the unique stainless steel chain mail of Yongle Army and hurried out under Liang Hongying's escort. While walking, Gao Fangping murmured: "We have to rely on ourselves to resist this wave. From the beacon signal to now, it has only been less than nine hours. Yongle Army cannot fly and can't get there yet!"

"Since something happened to the Gao family, Liang Hongying and you, it is best to rescue the Gao family first!" Liang Hongying actually didn't care much about the Gao family, but didn't want him to go to the top of the city when he was sieging the city, which would be even more dangerous.

Gao Fangping shook his head with a dark face and said, "The Gao family will not die for a while, so there is no need to worry."

When I came to the top of the city to watch, there was a change in the so-called siege.

Indeed, nearly 3,000 refugees and fleeing households were surrounded by about ten feet outside the city.

But they didn't know what happened, they were just watching and shouting slogans, shouting "Winter is coming, live." Only less than fifty people were actually involved in the siege, and they were quite a group of people with martial arts foundation, with accurate archery skills and agile actions.

Pei Yancheng ordered people to beat the war drums and began to point at the masters wandering under the city and curse, roaring: "It has become a fact that the rioters and traitors attack the county town. They are extremely guilty and are unforgivable to kill them. Shoot them to death, and shoot them to death by arrows!"

Whoosh swosh swosh

The bows and arrows of the county archers are not of scale at all, and the shooting quality is worrying. After wasting many arrows, they are useless to those masters who are roaming with technical skills.

Gao Fangping knew that Han Shizhong made great contributions this time and the underground work was very successful. The refugees were always hesitant about whether to bear the title of rebellion. So the interested people lurking among the refugees became anxious. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the refugees finally approached the county town in an all-round way, they began to attack and set an example to attract people to follow.

The refugees are timid, and Han Shizhong's work has been effective, so they may not be able to respond until they see great benefits.
