Chapter 225 Escape
Moreover, after Shi Rong's father asked for reinforcements in Jeju, and incidentally sent back the order that his cheap uncle would take over the military power in Jeju, Shi Rong quickly took people out of Jeju and went to the Fengxian theater where his father is now.
Others thought he was afraid that his stepmother would take advantage of his natal brother's military power to murder him, but they didn't know that Shi Rong had actually gone to work as an undercover agent for Ye Anlan _(:з」∠)_
After he left with his personal guards and those young princes who had already taken refuge in him on the bright side, all the secret lines he buried in Jeju began to take action one after another.
When Ye Anlan took people to attack Jeju City at night, these dark threads immediately came out to cooperate with Ye Anlan.
They killed the loyal confidant of Shi Rong's father's cheap brother-in-law, and then tricked other guards who were hesitant to open the city gate, and let in all the elite soldiers brought by Ye Anlan.
Ye Anlan picks up a city again and again for nothing, this feeling of winning, not to mention, is quite addictive ╮(╯▽╰)╭
She led nearly a thousand members of the guard, led by one of the dark lines, and rode straight to Shi Rong's father's mansion.
Yang Xiaotao, Zheng Fengshou, Wen Liuniang, and Wei Zhen were also doing the same thing with her. These four also brought a thousand elite soldiers each, and went straight to the mansions of other important figures in Jeju.
Among them, the mansion of Shi Rong's father's cheap uncle was naturally included.
Ye Anlan and the others were fast enough, but when they arrived, there were still two groups of people who were in vain. It was Ye Anlan and others who were responsible for arresting the family members in Shi Rong's father's backyard, and the others who were responsible for arresting Shi Rong's father. That cheap uncle's Yang Xiaotao and others.
The two families got the news from nowhere. As early as the moment Ye Anlan led the army into the city, Shi Rong's father's cheap brother-in-law had already taken his cousin, wife and children, and quickly escaped from the city gate in the opposite direction. .
In order to avoid being overwhelmed by too much noise and attracting pursuers, that cheap brother of Shi Rong's father didn't even go to the barracks to call for troops.
But even so, the manpower he brought was enough to protect them and escape to Shi Rong's father.
Ye Anlan expressed great regret for this. She asked Mr. Pan Yunzheng, who had just arrived at the front line, to stay with Ye Song and Zhou Mingyuan in Jeju to guard and deal with the aftermath. Divide into four routes, and go to fight Rencheng, Jiaxiang, Juye, and Yuncheng under the jurisdiction of Jeju.
Among them, Zheng Fengshou also brought along Zhou Mingzhe, a military adviser with the army.
The crossbow blueprint given to Li Jing, when Ye Anlan decided to take the initiative to take down Mengyin and other places, he asked the craftsman to make a batch of bows and crossbows and supporting arrows and distributed them to the lieutenants.
In addition, she also secretly made a batch of thunderbolt bombs and gas bombs.
Gas bombs, as the name suggests, are filled with poisonous powder and the like. Once they explode, the surrounding enemy troops will be poisoned to death.
The thunderbolt is a simple version of the earth bomb. This thing has been made in this era, but the technology is not mature.
According to the master craftsman Ye Anlan picked up by chance, his former boss had more craftsmen and peasants who died because of making this and transporting it than the enemies who died after taking out this thing.
His former employer felt that it was not worthwhile, so he gave up continuing to study this. But he didn't want the method of making the thunderbolt that he worked so hard to obtain to be obtained by others, so he decided to kill all the craftsmen to silence them.
The old master who was picked up by Ye Anlan by chance, he was originally on the list of extermination by his former boss, but he was old and smart, and before his former boss did it, he played his life like a thunderbolt accumulated for three years. All the monthly money went to the leader of the rebel army who was in charge of monitoring their production of Thunderbolt.
The other party received thousands of taels of silver from the old craftsman, and people took him out at night among the other craftsmen who were killed in the bombing.
After escaping from birth, the master didn't even dare to return home. He pretended to be a beggar and wandered around his home for more than a month until he was completely sure that his former boss didn't realize that he was a fish that slipped through the net. Only quietly went home to meet his old wife and children and grandchildren.
Then, their family was forced to flee due to frequent wars, and on the way to escape, they ran into Ye Anlan who happened to go down the mountain to recruit people.
Ye Anlan made earth bombs by herself in her previous life, but what she did was much safer than what the old master and the others did before.
The master master who gritted his teeth and applied for this precarious and dangerous job so that his children and grandchildren could have enough to eat, only found out after entering the secret workshop opened by Ye Anlan that their new protagonist actually had a stronger skill in making thunderbolts than him.
Of course, limited by the times, although Ye Anlan was able to reduce the instability of Thunderbolt, he still couldn't achieve mass production.
This is why she didn't let her soldiers carry thunderbolts at first.
Even if there is no other way right now, Ye Anlan will not let everyone bring thunderbolt bombs and gas bombs that are also difficult to make with the army.
Shi Rong has no one available in Rencheng, Jiaxiang, Juye, and Yuncheng, and their old method of entering the city at night is already well known. In addition, they have already captured Jeju. After the news spread, the rebels in these four cities must also be defeated. Vigilance will be heightened.
All kinds of factors combined, in order to minimize casualties, Ye Anlan could only use her secret weapon.
However, what Ye Anlan didn't expect was that the two groups of defenders in Rencheng and Yuncheng fled without a fight before her soldiers fought over.
The first ones who chose to escape were the big and small officials of these two cities. Except for the two civil officials who were beheaded because they prevented others from escaping, the other big and small officials who were in charge of guarding and governing Rencheng and Yuncheng all heard that Ye Anlan was about to After the news of the army's pressure, he chose to flee.
On the contrary, it was the guards of Jiaxiang and Juye until Ye Anlan and Yang Xiaotao broke open the city gate with thunderbolt bullets. They knew that their side had no chance of winning, so they chose amidst the voices of Ye Anlan's soldiers persuading them to surrender. In order to become a prisoner.
***
On the third day, all the battle reports were sent back, and Ye Anlan read them at a glance, and then led the troops out of Jeju City immediately, "Mingzhe, you and Fengshou left the newly collected prisoners, Xiaotao and Xiaozhen follow me to fight Wen superior."
Wenshang is adjacent to Yanzhou City in the east, Liangshan in the west, Weishan Lake in the south, and Dongyue Taishan in the north. It is a treasure land that Ye Anlan has long aimed at.
Compared to Wenshang, the other three counties (Yutai, Peixian, and Fengxian) in Shi Rong's father's hands are not the primary target for Ye Anlan.
Of course, even if she is not the primary target of the attack, when she takes down Wenshang, she will gradually gather all the land of these three counties into her own hands.
