Chapter 154

"What! The cement was robbed?"

"Yes, your highness, that's what I just got." Said Pang.

Zhan Xingchang is responsible for the repair of Cangzhou City, but Pang Yukun is responsible for the logistics transportation. Naturally, he is the first to know when something goes wrong.

Xiao Ming was infuriated by the news because of the gunite incident. He said, "you're going to Qingzhou army camp with me now. If you don't tear them to pieces, it's hard to get rid of my hatred."

Pang Yukun's face turned white. He had never felt so violent emotion from Xiao Ming.

However, it's not surprising that Xiao Ming destroyed the local aristocracy. It's just that for so many years, the aristocracy has been deeply rooted and it's not so easy to clean up.

Because of the existence of Qingzhou army, the haos in Qingzhou were wiped out quickly and cleanly, but the army in other states was weak, which gave the haos a chance to react.

With the support of the people and the strict training of the new army, these rebellions were quickly suppressed.

However, some of the remains fled into the mountains and daze, and from time to time came out to make trouble.

"Don't worry, your highness. These bandits have been surrounded by the Cangzhou army, but this Wubao used to be the Wubao of the Liu family of Cangzhou. It's the most easy to defend and difficult to attack among the Wubao of the six states. The Cangzhou army has been defeated several times and has killed and injured dozens of people." Said Pang.

"Is it OK if you're not in a hurry? This is related to the repair of Cangzhou City. If it is delayed, the consequences are unimaginable. " Xiao Ming said that this time he really realized what it means to have both good fortune and bad fortune.

Pang Yukun did not speak, but followed Xiao Ming to Qingzhou camp.

At this time, Niu Zhen was standing on the general stage, watching the soldiers training in the camp. Lu Fei and Luo Xin were responsible for correcting each other.

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun appear in the camp, and Niu Zhen immediately stops the training.

"Your Highness." Niu Zhen came down from the spot.

He was so drunk that he was unconscious that he woke up the next day with regret for fear that he would lose his manners in front of Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was worried at this time. He was afraid that the gang would damage the cement, so the matter couldn't be delayed. He said frankly, "old general, I'm afraid you're going to get out this time. A gang of bandits robbed Wubao and the materials transported to Cangzhou City."

Niu Zhen was stunned, but he didn't find it strange. He had experienced so many things in his life that he had already seen them.

"In that case, the last general will now lead the Qingzhou army to carry out the suppression." Niu Zhen said calmly.

Then he asked, "I don't know how many of these gangsters are there?"

"According to the information, it's about a thousand people." Said Pang.

Niu Zhen frowned and said, "bingfayun, the number of sieges is five times more than the number of garrisons. In this way, it takes 5000 people to go."

After that, he asked Lufei and Luoxin to order.

At this time, Xiao Ming gradually calmed down. Now every soldier is very important. Now the remaining evils of these powerful families know that they will die if they are caught, and they will certainly fight to the death.

At that time, the casualties of the Qingzhou army would be great. He had an idea. He was worried that there was no place to test the artillery. Was this not an opportunity.

He said, "the old general will go ahead and trap the bandits in Wubao. I will come later and attack the city when I get there."

Niu Zhen hugged his fist and said, "yes, your highness."

When Xiao Ming talks to Niu Zhen, Lu Fei and Luo Xin dare not interrupt. It seems that Niu Zhen is obedient to their control.

When he left Qingzhou camp, Xiao Ming thought of a question. He couldn't help asking, "since Liu's Wubao is easy to defend but hard to attack, how did these gangsters get in?"

"This Wubao belongs to the Liu family. Naturally, the people of the Liu family among the bandits knew the structure of the Wubao. No one thought that there was a tunnel hidden in the Wubao. The people who escaped said that the bandits wanted to plunder the grain and pay of the Wubao, but when they saw the cement transport team, they thought it was valuable, so they made such a big noise."

"Afterwards, Cangzhou army came to attack the tunnel, but the tunnel was bombed by the gang." Said Pang.

"Blown up?" Xiao Ming's spirit was shocked. "Did you say it blew up?"

"Yes, your highness, these gangsters blew up the tunnel with gunpowder." Pang Yukun said again, but this time he suddenly realized something.

"How can these bandits have gunpowder?" They said almost in unison.

Gunpowder is not a secret in the state of Dayu. It's just that no one can make gunpowder, which involves the material.

For example, this time Xiao Ming was baffled by this material.

At this time, the remaining evils of these powerful families had gunpowder in their hands, which had to make Xiao Ming have some associations in his mind.

"Anyway, take down the bandits first." Xiao Ming calmed down and said.

Back in Qingzhou City, Xiao Ming went to the equipment department and asked the equipment department to prepare a carriage to transport the gun to liujiawu fort.In addition, he urged Chen Qi to polish out some shells overnight, and sent people to get gunpowder from Lu Tong.

The next day, a carriage driven by four horses carried a thing wrapped in layers of linen out of Qingzhou City.

The best cavalry of Qingzhou army was guarding the carriage.

The distance between Cangzhou and Qingzhou is more than 400 Li. It is estimated that the liujiawubao is 200 li away from Qingzhou.

The gun weighs about a ton. Even if it is pulled by four horses, it is very hard. It takes five or six days to travel such a long distance.

Xiao Ming went to liujiawubao this time to suppress bandits, but actually to test the power of artillery.

Although he has seen numerous images, he has never seen the real situation.

Because it was a test gun, Chen Qi and others naturally wanted to go, but they went with the gun.

Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen set out first. Three days later, they finally met Liu's castle surrounded by Cangzhou Legion.

"Chen Fu, captain of Cangzhou military academy, has met his highness."

Chen Fu, a veteran of Qingzhou army, was sent to Cangzhou by Xiao Ming.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Your Highness, these bandits occupy Wubao and can't get out of the city. There's plenty of food and water in Wubao, which can last for several months. It's really troublesome." Chen Fu said.

He has tried to attack and failed several times.

Xiao Ming looks at the Wubao in front of him, which is different from the Wubao rammed by the clay of the Wang family. However, the Wubao of the Liu family is all made of stone, and its wall is more than ten meters high.

The most important thing is that the liujiawubao guarded the official road between Cangzhou and Qingzhou, so after the Wubao was taken, it became a transit place between the two states.

However, by building Wubao on the official road, we can see how arrogant the Liu family was.
