Chapter 31: Indigenous people shake the flag with righteousness, and the tyrant chases his wife in panic

"You have to be mentally prepared to be a soldier! Our rules, as soldiers, must obey the command and must not mess up. Zhao Jin asked Gulu Lamou to think clearly: "Moreover, when we go, we will attack the Marquis of Lu and the Marquis of Ye Leisi. I'm afraid there will be a tough battle."

If you don't listen, Gululamou is even more excited to hear that the general's army is going to fight against the Marquis of Lu and the Marquis of Ye Leisi. Not only Gululamou, but also the young people are eager to try one by one, and they have to follow the general as soldiers. Ovalu and Ye Lesi, these two are the largest countries in the north! The lords of Dongsi, who bullied the people of the north, relied on the prestige of the two hou countries that married them, pretended of the tiger and bullied the good people. If you can kill those two countries, what prestige do the lords have?

So Gululamou and the young people besieged Zhao Jin, shouting that they must be a soldier and follow the general to fight the two marquis states to ensure that they will obey the command! The general said to move forward, and everyone would never dare to retreat! The general said to step back, everyone... everyone had to listen.

Zhao Jin saw that they were very motivated, so he sailed along the boat: "Very good. Since everyone has such fighting spirit, let's form a 'Northern Volunteer Brigade'!" Gulula Mou Zhuangshi, I appoint you as a lieutenant, lead the volunteer army, and follow our regular army to attack the Olu! Along the way, you can publicize to the villages and invite more young people to join the volunteer army. If the team is big and cooperates well with the battle, I can seal you and other meritorious heroes, be a general, be a lieutenant, and become a regular army!"

Gululamu was overjoyed, and the young people all cheered and couldn't help running home to pack up. The patriarch couldn't stop his son. Although he was reluctant, he also hoped that he would have a promising one. At present, he looked at each other with tears and said sadly and happily, "Okay, okay. My naughty son followed the general and begged the general to take more care of him. Zhao Jin took off the gold helmet he was wearing and gave it to the patriarch, "Old man, please rest assured that I will love the people who follow me. This golden helmet, even if it is to repay your stockade for saving our Che Chuerliang's kindness, please accept it.

The patriarch repeatedly refused to accept such a valuable gift. Zhao Jin insisted on sending it. Gulu Lamu has rode back like a gust of wind, holding a hunting fork and carrying a big bow on his back, which is majestic. Zhao Jin said to the patriarch, "Why don't you transfer the helmet to your son?" I also have a helmet to send one for the young people who join the army in your village. So Zhao Jin ordered his men to go back to the Chinese army to get dozens of helmets. By the time they came, dozens of nominal brave soldiers had gathered and put helmets on them. They all wore helmets for the first time, and they were all excited and inexplicably. The leader, Guluramou, wears a golden helmet and is majestic.

Zhao Yu led the regular army and continued on the road. The volunteers entangled the young and middle-aged people in various villages all the way, as strong as snowballs. The patriarch also sent people to contact the villages to explain the decrees and tax system of the Rebel regime. All villages know that the general's decree outline is: "Three chapters of the law, which is convenient for the people and the benefit of the people", and the tax outline is: "Take it from the people and use it for the people", all happy! The taxes levied by the Rebel regime are not only light, but also used to develop internal affairs and defend the country. People can live and work in peace and contentment, and naturally support it. After explanation, they also understood that the people under a regime need to unite and do their best - if there is construction in the south, the north will supply timber to support; if there is famine in the north, the south will allocate wheat grain to revitalize; regardless of race, they are all one country, good, everyone is good!

Zhao's policies are undoubtedly very advanced in this era. The people of the whole country, including the people of the North, are very supportive and feel that they have met the benevolent Lord once in a hundred years!

The words are divided into two ends, the publicity of the policy is slowly carried out behind, and the team of the surprise attack marches in front of them. The vanguard officer Qi Jin led 500 horses to open the way, which was very powerful. Zhao Jin's Chinese army did not encounter any obstacles and moved forward smoothly.

Along the way, they passed several small castles, which were owned by some little marquises and little counts. They each had no more than a few hundred soldiers, and the small lords even had less than 100 soldiers. For such a small castle, Zhao Jin ordered the army to just pass by and ignore it at all.

The lord in the castle was surprised to see a large group of people rushing by on the road outside. He raised the suspension bridge and closed the gate one after another to protect himself. Who dared to send troops to stop him? Then a larger team passed by, holding the "Zhao" banner. The lord didn't know the Chinese characters and didn't understand where the team came from, so he had to shrink more. In the future, more and more people flocked! It turned out that they were all hunters, shepherds, beekeepers, loggers and other poor people from all ethnic groups and villages, rolling snowballs into huge volunteers! They jumped horses and knives, came to follow the regular army, attack and attack Lu, and avenge their hatred. The lord of the city was so scared that he didn't know what they were going to do, let alone complain to Ovalu.

The pioneers of the Rebel Army and the Chinese army have successively entered the hinterland of the north. It is a flat and reckless field. The weather is sunny, and the morale is strong. In fact, they can make the way faster. The reason for maintaining the original speed is to nourish the spirit and at the same time allow the volunteers to keep up and strengthen their momentum.

So this afternoon, Qi Jin's 500 light riders had arrived about 30 miles outside Ovalu, set up a camp and set up a sentry. After a while, the horse's hoofs sounded loudly, and the Chinese army wore 500 horses, Yan Shizhong's 500 horses, and He Pan's 200 horses, all arrived together. Where is Yao Manzi? It turned out that Yao Manzi never learned to fight on horseback, but only learned to march on horseback, so he could not lead his team and could only fight in the war. Zhao Jin then ordered He Pan to command 200 cavalry and guards together, and Yao Manzi followed the general's saddle and horse as a strong relative.

Zhao Jin saw Qi Jin and praised: "If you hadn't been so strong, how could you have been so smooth? I want to promote you! But now is not the time. We will attack the city tomorrow morning and settle the new achievements and old works together! Hahaha! - I'll give you my sword first."

Thank you together, took Zhao Jin's sword with both hands and put it on his waist. He immediately went out to urge the patrol to prevent the news from leaking at night and preparing the enemy.

The sky will be late and the haze will be faint. Gradually, there was a large sound of horses' hoofs. It turned out that the strong men with horses in the Volunteer Army caught up first. They were afraid of missing the opportunity to attack Lu and urged the horse to move forward. They are not in the queue and are very messy, but they are polite to each other. They all know that they are comrades-in-arms who fight hand in hand, and they are very warm and friendly.

Zhao Jin was busy restraining the volunteer army and telling them to rest on the spot and attack the city tomorrow morning. Many strong men have no culture and do not understand the truth of fighting at all, but they all worship generals, and the generals stop when they stop.

So the regular army and the volunteers camped on the spot to rest. From time to time, strong men came overnight. Some people even didn't have a horse and chased them on foot with a fighting spirit!

In this night, the people who attacked Lu City were still in their dreams and didn't realize it. Some sporadic residents along the road were shocked and didn't know what the reason for so many people was, so they were so scared that they hid at home and closed their doors. When the sky turned slightly white, when some residents poked their heads out of the door tremblingly and wanted to see what was going on, they heard the sound of horses, and there were many people and horses, and they went straight to fight against Lu City!

Zhao Jin will cooperate with the Chinese army and take the lead. The volunteers behind followed suit one after another. They waved forks, axes, sticks and other weapons to hold back their excitement. Because the general ordered not to call without permission, they all bit the dead branches or hay poles and vowed not to speak!

The city is still unknown. I don't know if there is an enemy attacking 30 miles away, and the gate will open as usual when the time comes. Che Chuerliang was ordered to approach the castle sentry. At this time, he quickly knocked on the flint and sent a fireworks into the sky. This is Zhao Jin's invention - Zhao Jin saw that the gunpowder in the new city was taken away, leaving only a pile of empty gunpowder barrels, and there were still some residues at the bottom of the barrel. It was not enough for artillery, but it could be used as a signal bomb! Zhao Jin liked to set off firecrackers when he was a child, and also dismantled gunpowder and made fireworks. Now I give full play to my childhood expertise and make original signal bombs after research with the craftsmen. Therefore, Zhao Jin can be said to be the first pioneer in the world to use signal bombs, and it is not too much to claim the title of "father of signal bombs".

Che Chuerliang's signal bomb can be seen dozens of miles away. Zhao Jin immediately knew that the gate was open. He was overjoyed and urged the soldiers to rush in!

Outside the city gate, a group of loggers just came out of the city with axes and saws as usual and suddenly saw fireworks. And the defenders on duty in the city also saw it, and they didn't know what it was. Someone wondered, "Strange thing! I lived in my fifties, and it was the first time I saw a meteor not fall to the ground, but to the sky!"

After a while, the dull sound of horses' hoofs came from the sky, and the defenders on the top of the city heard it and guessed in twos and threes. When "Is it a horse vendor team?" When the statement became the mainstream opinion, the voice was already approaching outside the city gate. Who would have thought that there would be an enemy attack in such a faraway place in winter?

Dai took the lead and rushed to the front of the Rebel team. He was ready to leave the city when the gate was sealed, but he found that the gate was still wide open and was overjoyed: "At this time, when will it be!" So Dai Degong straightened the big knife and turned around and said, "Don't miss the opportunity, grab the city quickly!" You can shoot arrows, and the arrows will be stringed!"

The sergeants shouted and drove the horses!
