Chapter 154 That Sun Chuanting Is A Madman
"This is a monocular!" Sun Chuanting introduced to Chen Yongfu, "It can clearly observe things in the distance!"

After speaking, he took the binoculars and began to observe the distance outside the city.

At this time, there was already a telescope, which was brought into Daming by missionaries from Xiyi.However, the number is very small, and it is normal that Chen Yongfu has never seen such a local general.

At this time, when he heard Sun Chuanting's words and watched Sun Chuanting's movements, he couldn't help being very curious, and quickly imitated Sun Chuanting's appearance and began to operate.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it.

Things in the distance seem to suddenly appear in front of you.

Chen Yongfu put down the binoculars, then raised the binoculars. After repeated several times, he couldn't help but said to Sun Chuanting in surprise: "My lord, this is a treasure. If you find out the enemy's movements in advance, you can prepare early. Even when marching in the field, the possibility of being ambushed by bandits is very small." will be greatly reduced!"

"Of course!" Sun Chuanting listened, nodded, and then looked at him and said, "Your Majesty has prepared a lot for this battle of Kaifeng. I can tell you clearly that if we hold on to this battle, the entire Ming Dynasty will The situation will change dramatically!"

Over the years, the situation has gotten worse every year.

The Jian captives outside the pass invaded the bandits, and they were invincible; the thieves inside the pass rebelled, and they suppressed more and more.

Under such circumstances, even ordinary people would despair, not to mention generals like Chen Yongfu who would understand the danger of the situation.

Therefore, when he heard Sun Chuanting's words, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

If someone else said this, he would only treat it as a scene.

However, Sun Chuanting was different, this guy seemed to be ignorant of flexibility, and said what he had to say.This point, as long as you get along with Sun Chuanting for a while, you can feel it.

Moreover, Sun Chuanting's prestige is very high, which virtually increases the prestige of his words.

At this time Chen Yongfu heard it, and couldn't help asking in surprise: "How to change?"

Sun Chuanting pointed to his personal guards and said, "The Yongwei Battalion is expanding its army, and the Beijing Battalion should also be reorganized. They will all be equipped with this kind of armor, and the power of the firecrackers will also be greatly improved."

The Yongwei Battalion has been fighting in the north and south in the past few years, and has a great reputation.It's just a pity that the number is too small, and the number of people is reduced after each battle. It's a bit like the white-armed army in the past. It has a tendency to fail.

But no matter what, the best place to fight at this time is the Yongwei Battalion.

When Chen Yongfu heard Sun Chuanting's words, saying that the Yongwei Battalion was expanding its army and would be equipped with the armor of Sun Chuanting's personal guards, Chen Yongfu's eyes popped out immediately, with an incredible expression on his face!

Only those who have been on the battlefield know how important armor is!

The armor is good, the chance of saving life is high, and there will be more veterans.And the large number of veterans is the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the army!

In the past, Chen Yongfu knew those armors were good when he saw them. After these days passed, he had a better understanding, and he already knew that these armors were better than he imagined.

Not only is it lightweight, but it's also strong!
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if all the brave guards were wearing this kind of armor!
Wearing such armor can virtually increase the courage several times.Those who dare not fight in ordinary times dare to fight the enemy bravely and strive for military merit.

While being pleasantly surprised, he suddenly came back to his senses, and said with some surprise: "Where did the imperial court get so much money?"

If it wasn't for Sun Chuanting in person, he would have said "this is impossible".

The imperial court was notoriously poor, and they couldn't even pay the military salary. It would take a few years to drag out the fighting power of the bandits!

Of course, Sun Chuanting knew that Chen Yongfu's doubts were natural. If he was not in the capital, he would have doubts. Therefore, he explained to Chen Yongfu: "Your Majesty has seized a group of corrupt officials. In addition, the cost of this armor is only what you wear. About [-]%!"

"Ah!" Chen Yongfu was dumbfounded when he heard it.

He looked down at the armor on his body, and then looked up at the armor of Sun Chuanting's personal guard, with an incredible expression on his face!

It's really a bit impossible, but the low-cost one is stronger and lighter?

Seeing his appearance, Sun Chuanting immediately said indifferently: "This is science, you don't understand! You just need to know that there is such a thing!"

"???" Chen Yongfu heard a question mark on his forehead, what science?Never heard of it.

But Sun Chuanting said it so confidently, so he didn't ask any more questions, and just remembered the word science in his heart for the first time.

Thinking of the scene of the brave guard battalion going into battle, he couldn't help but look forward to it, and at the same time, he became very envious.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Sun Chuanting say to him again: "After this battle, His Majesty has decided to transfer you to the Beijing Camp, show yourself well!"

Hearing this, Chen Yongfu was overjoyed again.Sun Chuanting said it himself, it must be true.Otherwise, it is a false preaching of the holy will, which is a serious crime!
Therefore, Chen Yongfu quickly promised that he would try his best to do his job well and live and die with Kaifeng.

On the fourth day, Ye Buhui, who was scattered outside, galloped back, bringing back bad news.

The thief forward came to Kaifeng in the past!

Gao Mingheng, the inspector in Henan, couldn't help admiring Sun Chuanting's judgment, so he quickly said to Sun Chuanting: "My lord, it's time to withdraw all the people outside the city into the city and set fire to the unharvested grain!"

But who knows, Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "It's just a vanguard!"

Then, he turned his head to look at Chen Yongfu, and issued an order: "You lead a thousand soldiers, take your own bodyguards, and go to intercept the vanguard of the bandits. If you can win, you will fight. If you can't win, you will slow down the bandits. Return to Kaifeng!"

The meaning of this military order is obvious, it is to harvest more food outside the city.

"The last general obeys orders!" Chen Yongfu did not hesitate when he heard this, and immediately embraced his orders.

When Gao Mingheng heard it, he was very surprised. This was not in line with Sun Chuanting's original intention before, did he change his mind?
He was a little worried, and quickly persuaded: "My lord, there are not many troops in the city. When the thieves came, we had already collected a lot of food. Why did we send troops out?"

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting pointed to the outside of the city and said, "I used to have people harvest grain from far and near. It would be best if the harvest was finished. If the harvest is not finished, it will be much easier to return to the city. I expected that the thief would If you send troops, you must be surprised, and you can buy more time if you hesitate."

Logically speaking, it is actually irrational to send troops out at this time.

If someone else sent troops out, they might be charged and killed by thieves and make meritorious deeds first.

However, if Sun Chuanting sent troops out, that might not be the case.

………………

The forward of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's coalition forces was Gao Yigong, who was in charge of scouting the news before, and led 3000 troops to Kaifeng first.

"Hurry up..." Along the way, Gao Yigong kept urging, "Then Sun Chuanting is a lunatic, and he started harvesting the food before it was cooked. He really is a prodigal man!"

"Even if we can't grab the food, we must not let Sun Chuanting harvest all the food, and the speed should be faster!"

"..."

It has been heard before that Sun Chuanting is rushing to collect food, and it is the same, so the bandits have to go to Kaifeng ahead of time.Among them, one of Gao Yigong's tasks is to try to destroy Sun Chuanting's intention of grabbing grain.Therefore, he was in a hurry along the way.

Generally speaking, when the army is marching, it is necessary to have scout horses to scout the road ahead, to check the depth of rivers, to find out if there is an ambush in the woods, to check out the villages, and so on.

But this time, Gao Yigong was in a hurry in order to get to Kaifeng as soon as possible.

Before the scouts could report back, he had already arrived with his men and horses.Even Tanma was still investigating, but he led the men and horses and overtook them, so that Tanma had to give up and rushed to the front of the team again.

Speaking of this, it is considered a big taboo for military strategists. For Gao Yigong who is used to fighting, it is a bit unbelievable that he would make such a mistake.

But in fact, Gao Yigong is used to fighting, so he doesn't know how to fight well.Judging from the news, most of Kaifeng City is full of civilians, and there is no regular army at all.And around Kaifeng, there is no imperial court army.

Besides, Sun Chuanting is now rushing to collect food and then busy defending the city. He has no soldiers, nor does he have the time and energy to come and ambush him!

It was based on this judgment that Gao Yigong led the team to rush on the road.

Taking another step back, he has about [-] cavalry in his hand, plus [-] infantry, he is an old soldier among the thieves.If there was an ambush, how much would it take to eat him?
This is simply unrealistic!
This afternoon, when it was about a day's journey away from Feng, there was a forest on both sides of the official road.

Tan Ma went to the forest, but Gao Yigong, who followed him, didn't care about Tan Ma at all, and led the team to continue on their way.

In fact, at this time, Tanma is just dealing with it.Subconsciously, he thought that this forest must be the same as before, and there would be no people at all.

"Hurry up, drive a little longer, have a good rest at night, and we will arrive in Kaifeng tomorrow!" Gao Yigong shouted loudly, asking his personal guards to urge the infantry behind to speed up.

Tomorrow, near Kaifeng, we can't hurry like this.There must be plenty of physical strength, whether it is a man or a horse, and the team cannot be stretched as long as it is now.

If he really wanted to go to the city of Kaifeng in this state, maybe that Sun Chuanting would see the opportunity and go out of the city to fight.

While he was thinking, suddenly, he heard his bodyguard exclaim loudly: "Godfather, there is a situation!"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, military generals liked to adopt sons.The most representative one is Mao Wenlong, who has thousands of godsons.There is also Zhang Xianzhong, who also adopted godsons, and the most famous ones are four.

The same is true for Gao Yigong, his personal guards are related to his own safety, and most of them are godsons he usually adopts when he sees good seedlings.

At this time, Gao Yigong was shocked when he heard it, and turned his head to look at it.
