Chapter 1430

In the blink of an eye, Han Yu lingered in Spring City for half a month.

It's not that he is content with pleasure and doesn't think about making progress, but that the newly recruited soldiers need to be trained.

The original Mujiazhai people also need to adapt to their new identities.

Han Yu still understands the truth that sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood.

Although he is very anxious now, let everyone not be in a hurry and do as much training as possible.

Only by sweating more in peacetime can we bleed less in wartime.

These are lessons summed up with life and blood.

Otherwise, a group of farmers who had just put down their hoes went to the battlefield and were scattered by the enemy's charge.

Such troops are useless.

In order to allow everyone to train with peace of mind, Han Yu boldly bought all the pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese in Spring City, and organized hunters to hunt and fishermen to fish.

After ensuring that every meal has meat, the enthusiasm of the recruits for training is very high.

People at this time are very poor, and they are only willing to eat some meat during the Chinese New Year. It is common for ordinary people to not see meat for a month, and it is unimaginable to have meat in every meal.

With this food, everyone's enthusiasm for training suddenly rose.

Isn't training just a little bit harder and tiring?

What are you afraid of.

Do they usually suffer less suffering and tiredness?

With generous rewards, these people trained very fast, and completed the training content in half a month.

And it wasn't until this time that the people in the surrounding counties learned that Chuncheng had been breached.

The magistrates of these counties did not dare to move. While writing and reporting to the Qing court, they closed the city gates and prayed that Han Yu would not attack them.

In the past half a month, in addition to training the army, Han Yu also took all the people from Mujiazhai to Chuncheng, and gathered all the blacksmiths in the city, and built a special yard for them to be responsible for making flying machines. Thunder cannon, refining gunpowder.

The daily meals are very good, and the wages are well paid. The only requirement is not to leave the yard.

In this regard, those blacksmiths have no objection.

As long as the wages are enough, it's not a problem.

Anyway, they usually go out to buy wine, and basically seldom go out.

Here, they can drink three bowls of wine and eat two dishes with meat every night for free, which already makes them quite content.

A large number of flying thunder cannons and palm mines were manufactured and delivered to the grenadiers.

"How is the recruit training?"

Han Yu came to the school grounds and asked.

"Your Highness, all the training has been completed and you can go out at any time."

Mu Jiansheng said energetically.

Now he needs an opportunity to prove to His Highness that he is also capable, and he did not obtain this position by relying on his father's shadow.

"Young people, it's good to be motivated."

Han Yu patted him on the shoulder.

"Prove it to me."

Han Yu unfolded the map of Dian Province: "This is Wuding, the north gate of Spring City. I will hand over the Second Army to you. Can you take Wuding down?"

Han Yu asked.

"Three days are enough!"

Mu Jiansheng patted his chest to reassure.

"Don't be impatient, try to avoid casualties, go, I'll wait for your good news."

Han Yu patted Mu Jiansheng on the shoulder and said.

Having received Han Yu's expectation, Mu Jiansheng was full of fighting spirit, packed his clothes, and set off towards Wuding with his troops.

In the attack on Wuding this time, the Second Army was much more generous than the First Army.

At that time, the First Legion was still riding carts, while the Second Legion already had all members riding horses.

Even all kinds of transportation vehicles are pulled by horses.

Although it was only infantry on horseback, it also greatly accelerated the marching speed of the troops.

In a day's work, Mu Jiansheng led the Second Army to the foot of Wuding City.

At this time, the gate of Wuding City was closed tightly, and there were only a hundred trembling Qing soldiers on the city wall.

"Listen to the people inside, I will give you a stick of incense to surrender immediately, otherwise, you will die in battle, don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Mu Jiansheng shouted loudly.

When the people in the city saw the enemy army coming, they rushed to report it immediately.

After a while, Sun Deguang, the magistrate of Wuding, and Han Youliang, the guard, came to the tower.

Sun Deguang glanced at the Grenadier Corps below, and couldn't help feeling a little weak in his calves.

"Han Shoubei, the enemy army is powerful, can we really hold it?"

Han Youliang patted his chest and said: "Master Sun, don't worry, our Wuding City is high and deep, and there are thousands of garrison soldiers. There are enough rolling logs, rocks and rocks. The tactics of war are like ten thousand. I think there are no more than ten thousand thieves. What can we do?" We don’t have to wait, we just need to hold on, and when the imperial army arrives, the siege can be solved, and you and I can also use this merit to advance one step higher.”

Hearing Han Youliang's remarks, Sun Deguang felt relieved.

"Then it all depends on Han Shoubing."

Mu Jiansheng waited below for a while, feeling a little impatient.

"Has it been too long?" Mu Jiansheng asked.

"Young master, it's a stick of incense." Immediately, a soldier said.

"Don't call me young master, call me army commander," Mu Jiansheng said, "Since the time has passed, don't say I didn't give you a chance, let's fire!"

Following Mu Jiansheng's order, the gunners of the Second Legion lit the matchlock.

"Han Shoubei, what is that?" Sun Deguang looked at those huge iron buckets and didn't know what they were.

"Probably doing tricks." Sun Deguang disagreed.

However, in the next second, he heard a burst of violent roar.

Boom, boom, boom!

The thunder cannons made a huge roar.

One by one, the explosives flew up to the top of the city and exploded above their heads.

Boom!

Accompanied by the violent explosion, the officers and soldiers on the top of the city were shaken and flew up, and their bodies fell to the bottom of the city.

A round of bombardment actually wiped out all the defenders on the top of the city.

The few lucky ones who survived also hid in the corner and shivered with their heads in their hands.

"Aim at the city gate and fire!"

Mu Jiansheng issued another order.

The gunners quickly loaded ammunition.

Launch again.

Boom!

The huge city gate was hit by dozens of explosives and was directly blown to pieces.

Even palm-sized fragments are hard to find.

"Advance slowly and occupy the city gate!"

Mu Jiansheng gave the order.

The Grenadier Corps held up their shields and began to advance towards the city.

The defenders on the city wall had been destroyed in the shelling just now.

The grenadiers easily took over the city.

The defenders in the city still wanted to resist, but they were greeted by grenades from the grenadiers, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, and they were defeated.

"Control the city gates, block the city, wipe out the defenders, and kill those who dare to resist!"

Mu Jiansheng pulled out the accompanying sword from his waist and shouted.

The soldiers of the Second Legion held up their shields and slowly advanced into the city.

With the experience of fighting in Chuncheng, the soldiers were familiar with the road this time, and quickly controlled the barracks and yamen, and the whole Wuding fell into the hands of Mu Jiansheng.

"Arrest all the big families in the city, set up an execution platform, and hold a public trial!" Mu Jiansheng said.
