heavy weapon is king

Chapter 266 The game of life and death, the blood slaughter city comes in person
Zengzhou Fuya is located in Dongsifang in the city.

After the 9000 Dragon and Tiger Army occupied Zengzhou, more than a dozen generals and leaders, including Shi Zheng, Xu Shijie, and Xue Changsheng, led [-] troops to garrison and deploy the entire city of Zengzhou in the shortest possible time. Take it over.

At the same time, Shen Hongyu and Wu Xuanyin led hundreds of dragon blood warriors, guarding Marshal Nie, and galloped all the way to Dongsifang's mansion.

Basically, as long as the brothers who follow Marshal Nie's South and North Stations know that Marshal Nie has a special hobby, he is extremely fond of gold and silver. Every time he breaks through a city, the first thing he does is to go to the government office. Inventory and seal the warehouse.

Over time, everyone figured out Marshal Nie's preferences. In short, as long as the city is broken, there will always be some quick-witted people who will find out the location of the warehouse immediately and tell Marshal Nie.

After learning the specific location of the Zengzhou warehouse, Nie Zheng led the team, flying horseshoes along the way, crossing the streets and alleys, and it didn't take long before they broke into Dongsifang.

The layout of the Zengzhou warehouse is basically similar to that of Yangzhou.

The warehouses are all built near the government office, which is convenient for nursing management.

When Nie Zheng and the others entered Dongsifang, from a distance, they saw a dozen elite dragon and tigers in armor, holding light machine guns, firmly guarding the door of the warehouse.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was determined, and hurriedly rode to the door of the storeroom, quickly got off his horse, and then walked quickly towards the door of the storehouse, making Shen Hongyu, who was following closely behind, frowned secretly, thinking , when did this little thief become such a money fanatic?

Judging by his anxious appearance now, he is completely the reincarnation of a miser.

Nie Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's weird reactions.

At this moment, nothing is more important than gold and silver in his heart.

Now that it has decided to occupy the entire Annan County, there will be a lot of places where money will be spent in the future, not to mention the Arms Commercial Street. Just because the South City Defense of Yangzhou was destroyed last time, if it is to be repaired intact, it will cost at least a large sum of money. funding.

In addition to resting and maintaining the city defenses, the military pay and food of the tens of thousands of dragon and tiger troops under his command is also a huge expense. According to Jia Xiufang's last report, now it is the monthly expenses of tens of thousands of dragon and tiger troops. , almost need tens of thousands of taels of silver.As for the salaries of those state and county yamen, these Nie Zhengs have not been counted.

In short, capturing a territory is definitely not an easy task.

Although it is easy to break through a city, if you want to develop and grow for a long time, you have to work hard, especially money, which is an essential thing.

After seeing Nie Zheng coming, more than a dozen elite dragons and tigers guarding outside the warehouse all bowed and saluted.

"I've seen the handsome man!"

"Free gift!"

Nie Zheng waved his hand, quickly climbed the steps, and came to the gate of the warehouse.

The door of the warehouse had already been opened. Nie Zheng looked up and saw that the size of the Zengku warehouse was much smaller than that of the Yangzhou warehouse. The Yamen's warehouse is more than ten times larger.

At this moment, the lights in the warehouse are bright, which is the unwritten rule of every warehouse.

Throughout the year, the lights must not be extinguished.

Through the bright lights, Nie Zheng could clearly see that in the first half of the warehouse, there were mountains of copper coins on the ground, at least tens of thousands of coins.

Behind the area where the copper coins are stacked, there are rows of strong wooden frames, and many wooden boxes and wooden boxes are placed on the wooden frames. Presumably, a large amount of gold and silver should be stored in those wooden boxes and wooden boxes. right.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng nodded in satisfaction, turned around and told the people guarding outside: "You all guard outside the door, I will go in and check, and no one is allowed to enter the warehouse without my order."

"Obey, Commander!"

After hearing the order, everyone responded in unison.

With a dull rubbing sound of "click", the two heavy doors of the warehouse were slowly closed from the outside.

Marshal Nie is like this. Every time he enters the warehouse, he will close the door to prevent people from seeing the scene inside. Everyone has already gotten used to his weird habit.

After the warehouse door was closed, Nie Zheng took a deep breath, then quickly walked around the area where the copper coins were piled up at the front door, and walked towards the wooden shelf area behind the warehouse.

Thinking that he will get a lot of gold and silver later, Nie Zheng is inevitably a little excited.

It has been more than half a year since he was reborn in this strange ancient times, and every time he got gold and silver, he would feel inexplicably excited.

It seems that I really have the potential to be a miser.

Soon, Nie Zheng came to the back half of the warehouse.

Within this area with a radius of hundreds of meters, dozens of thick wooden frames up to two meters high were placed, and on each wooden frame were stored more than a dozen wooden boxes and wooden boxes.

Seeing this, Nie Zheng immediately came to one of the wooden frames and quickly opened the two-foot-square wooden box.

"empty?"

Nie Zheng couldn't help frowning, his expression already a little displeased.

Immediately afterwards, he opened several wooden boxes in succession, all of which were empty.

At this moment, Nie Zheng began to feel that something was wrong. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and quickly opened all the wooden boxes on the wooden frames attached to it with a "ping-pong-pong".

The result is still the same.

Empty!

Nie Zheng's face became more and more gloomy. There are hundreds of villages and towns in five counties under Zengzhou's rule.

It stands to reason that Zengzhou’s treasury should be very rich based on the exorbitant taxes of these Da Viet people. Excluding the copper coins in the front area, it is reasonable to say that there should be at least 10,000+ taels of gold and silver in this treasury.

But just now he opened dozens of wooden boxes and wooden boxes in a row, but there was nothing.

However, Nie Zheng was not willing to be reconciled to this, he continued to open the wooden boxes to check, and in just a few minutes, he opened and checked all the wooden boxes and wooden boxes stored on all the wooden shelves.

As a result, he was extremely disappointed.

All the wooden boxes and wooden boxes were empty inside, not to mention gold and silver, not even a single copper plate was seen.

Looking at the rows of empty wooden boxes in front of him, Nie Zheng was so annoyed that he kicked a wooden frame in front of him over on the spot.

"Damn, what's going on? Why is there no gold or silver in Zengzhou's warehouse except for tens of thousands of copper coins? Could it be that those Dayue people took all of them away?"

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng took a deep breath, trying to calm down the anger in his heart.

Originally, the reason why he attacked Zengzhou in such a hurry was because of the gold and silver. Now that all the gold and silver in Zengzhou's warehouse have been emptied, why don't you tell him not to be extremely angry.

However, Nie Zheng secretly felt strange in his heart.

It took them less than an hour from the time they broke through the west city of Zengzhou to leading the army to occupy the entire city of Zengzhou.

In such a short period of time, those Dayue people guarding Zengzhou, they even retreated in a hurry, how could they have so much time to come to the warehouse to empty the bank.

Even if they took away the gold and silver in the warehouse in a hurry before they left, at the very least, the furnishings in the warehouse would not be so neat, it would definitely be a mess, and some gold ingots and silver would be scattered on the ground.

However, the current warehouse is clean and tidy, and it doesn't look like a scene where a large group of people hastily washed it.

"Could it be that Sang Kang led his confidants to evacuate Zengzhou long ago? And when he evacuated, he had already emptied Zengzhou's warehouse?"

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he secretly felt that something was wrong.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell.

Because, this attack on Zengzhou City seemed a little too smooth.

From breaking the city to leading troops and horses to occupy the whole city, the speed and smooth progress made Nie Zheng feel a little unrealistic.

A long time ago, he had heard many times that the people of Dayue were vicious and cunning, and they were best at jungle ambushes and street fighting.

If the Da Viet people were unable to defend because of the fierce artillery fire when they first attacked the city, then these Da Viet people who defended the city can completely abandon the city defense and retreat to the inner city. They are good at ambush street fighting.

However, when the city defenses were breached, all the Dayue people who defended the city immediately led their soldiers and horses to flee and retreat.

Obviously, this is not quite like the usual fighting style of the Dai Viet people.

Could it be that they still have some foreshadowing and tricks?

With doubts in his heart, Nie Zheng felt that things were not simple.

He always felt that the people of Dayue seemed to have some conspiracy, or that the enemy had set up a trap and was waiting for him to get inside.

"No, I have to leave the warehouse as soon as possible and inform Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie to tell them to take precautions and be vigilant, so as not to be caught by the enemy's insidious tricks."

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately kicked away a wooden box in front of him, ready to leave the empty warehouse.

Just when he had just circled out of a wooden frame and was about to step into the area in front where the copper coins were piled up.

Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded faintly behind him. "I have heard for a long time that Marshal Nie has a habit of inspecting the local warehouses every time he breaks a city. It seems that the rumors are indeed true..."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's expression changed, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to find that there was nothing behind him, and there was no one in sight.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng became vigilant, secretly contacted Jack, and asked him to send out an AA12 shotgun.

Holding the AA12 shotgun in his hand, Nie Zheng's mind became more stable. Immediately, he searched around the warehouse with flickering eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the master, since you are here, why don't you show up and see it, so hide your head and show your tail?" , wouldn’t it be disrespectful to be sneaky!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a red figure suddenly appearing out of thin air on the wall deep in the warehouse.

The red figure continued to spread and enlarge on the wall. Finally, Nie Zheng was surprised to find that a thin middle-aged man in a red robe appeared slowly in front of him as if he had suddenly drilled out of the wall. In front of...
