[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 206 [English]

Chapter 198 Yin Chang

Fei Sheng did not dare to underestimate Yin Chang anymore. The power of the “sharp knives” last night was terrifying. Fei Sheng had never heard of that formation. If it weren’t for the blazing guns, they would have been in Fanzhou City this morning.

Yin Chang was so frightened by the wine that he woke up. He held the bowl and asked, “What is that?”

Fei Sheng bet all his chances of winning this trip on the old man. Seeing Yin Chang’s empty bowl, he quickly filled it up again and said, “Huo Qiang, haven’t you ever heard of it?”

Yin Chang shook his head like a rattle and said, He has stayed in Cizhou for half his life. The biggest official he has ever seen is Zhou Gui. He can’t even count the eight major camps, let alone Chunquan Camp.He is a real old man from the mountains. He cannot read all the words. He relies on his own experience in fighting wars. He has never read a military book.

“What was that? It exploded with a loud bang, like a thunder strike.” Yin Chang crushed the dry food, “He was killed before he could reach him. How can we fight this battle?”

“It can only slap in the face.” Fei Sheng closed the distance between himself and Yin Chang. They were both covered in blood and stained, and they were equally dirty.Fei Sheng circled his fingers to the size of the mouth of the blunderbuss, showed it to Yin Chang, and said, “Last night the cavalry did not move but loaded their guns. If you want it to explode from here, it will take a lot of effort and it will only work if it is close. We were fooled. Damn it, now think about it, there are probably just a few blunderbuss specially used to scare us.”

Yin Chang finally understood: “Isn’t that just firecrackers!”

“You’re right! Just treat it as a firecracker. It won’t be able to hit it if it runs too far.” Fei Sheng was most afraid that Yin Chang would be frightened by the firecracker and would not dare to attack again. At this moment, he tried his best to tell him, “Think about it, if this thing is so useful, why is the Chunquan Camp only used for performances for the emperor? It doesn’t work well in battle.”

Fei Sheng didn’t tell lies. Why did Chunquanying put the firecrackers away?Just because it doesn’t work.It takes time to load and is used for street fighting. The opponent’s knife is swung at the neck, and the firecracker may still be warming up.When the distance is increased, the lethality of the firecracker will plummet, and it will be difficult to aim due to the momentum.

“It even burns your butt.” Yin Chang was worried about the bombing last night and stared at the bonfire and thought for a moment, “Is this expensive?”

“It’s expensive to die.” Fei Sheng soaked the dry food in a bowl and swallowed it whole. “There are no blueprints for the Jinyiwei. They are made by the Ministry of War and Supervision of the Ministry of Works. Each time the quantity is limited, and the number is engraved on it.”

Yin Chang immediately showed his yellow teeth and smiled at Fei Sheng: “Then beat him, I’m afraid these firecrackers are cheap. Fanzhou is so poor now that even his poop is watery. How can he be willing to use expensive things casually. If it’s not enough, I don’t believe that he can stay in there for the rest of his life.”

The new wind blew the door panels wildly, and bodies were scattered along the streets of Fanzhou.King Yi’s flag rotted in the wind, and beggars scrambled to keep it away from the cold.There were hundreds of people crowded in the wind shelter of the Yamen, most of whom were old, weak, women and children. The young and middle-aged people in their homes were either robbed by bandits or deceived by King Yi into serving as soldiers. Now they are all skin and bones from hunger, and they all come to beg for food.

This winter wind is bone-chilling, killing people every night.

“Brother Huo wants to open a warehouse to store grain,” Yang Qiu, a bandit from Fanzhou who was sitting on the Taishi chair, crossed his legs and smiled playfully. “It’s a good thing, we agree with both hands. But now that the Cizhou garrison is approaching the city, the soldiers in front cannot starve. As long as the soldiers are not hungry, you can give food to whomever you want.”

People were standing or sitting on both sides of the hall, all big and small bandits from Fan and Deng states.Yin Chang guessed right. In order to prepare for the defense, King Yi gathered soldiers and horses from the two states and wanted to stay until the critical moment to bargain with Shen Zechuan.Unexpectedly, after luring the wolf into the house, Huo Lingyun and these people killed him first.

Huo Lingyun sat on King Yi’s tiger seat and said, “The food in the city is running out. I have to ask my brothers to borrow food.”

“Shen Zechuan blocked the road to the west, and merchants no longer dare to go there. After October, all I eat is old grain.” Yang Qiu became angry when he mentioned this. “I also want to ask you to borrow grain. Fang Laoshi, you and King Yi wear a pair of trousers, lick his crotch, and sit here with us pretending to be poor.”

Fang Laoshi was addicted to male lust, and his cheeks turned blue. He pinched the walnuts and sneered: “That’s bullshit, don’t act like a rogue here. My food has already arrived in the military rations, and I am feeding white-eyed wolves like you.”

“We’re going to fight like crazy when we don’t have food,” Yang Qiu said with bad intentions, “Let’s run away as soon as possible.”

“Run?” Fang Laoshi spat, “Shen Zechuan is stuck all over the northwest. He must either go to Tianfei Palace to join Marshal Qi, or go to Chashi River to fight with the Biansha people. Doesn’t Shen Zechuan want to attack Duanzhou in February? We have messed up the situation for him and left a gap for Zhongbo. How dare he show off his power here?”

They are bandits. First I heard that Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye killed Lei Changming in Cizhou, then I heard that Shen Zechuan killed Cai Yu in Chazhou, and later I heard that Shen Zechuan killed Lei Jingzhe in Dunzhou. All the major bandit leaders in Zhongbo fell into the hands of Shen Zechuan. Now I know with my feet that Shen Zechuan will not let them go.

Yang Qiu originally thought that Huo Lingyun was not qualified and could not control the situation. He came here to take advantage of the situation and wanted to move King Yi’s treasury before the city was destroyed. But when he arrived here, he found that Fang Laoshi and others were also planning to take advantage of the treasury.Everyone is sitting here plotting against each other, hoping that the other person will die quickly.

Although Huo Lingyun is sitting in the tiger seat, he is willing to stay humble and be small.He showed no expression and just said: “There is no need to be too anxious. The person Shen Zechuan sent this time is an old man. He has no prestige and no ability. He is still timid and will not be able to achieve success.”

Yin Chang is indeed not famous, but Yin Chang killed nearly half of their soldiers in one confrontation.The battle last night was fought by Huo Lingyun. He kept silent about the details. Yang Qiu and Fang Laoshi only knew that the casualties were serious.

Yang Qiu thought that Huo Lingyun was just an embroidered pillow, useless.With a smile on his face, he said: “That’s right, Brother Huo comes from a famous family, and he is a country old man. As for me, I just worry about food and nothing else. If we continue to consume like this, even if we repel the Cizhou garrison, we won’t be able to survive the beginning of spring.”

“Then what do you want,” Fang Laoshi said sarcastically, “I’ll listen to your opinion.”

Yang Qiu rolled his eyes, looked at Huo Lingyun, and said: “Yan Heru still has a shop in Dunzhou. Let’s exchange King Yi’s family wealth with him for food. He is a master who values money but not people, so he will definitely help with this. As long as he survives this winter, Brother Huo will be able to secure his position as King Yi. By then, we will have time to recruit troops.”

Fang Laoshi listened to Yang Qiu’s nonsense with his eyes closed, but did not open his mouth to remind Huo Lingyun.He was fond of Huo Lingyun, but when he saw the body of King Yi that had been chewed up by dogs in the Yamen, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his lips and teeth.

Huo Lingyun has been staying in front of King Yi for the past six months and does not understand the situation outside. It seems that he believed Yang Qiu’s words and said, “But now that the garrison is besieging the city, how can we do this business with Yan Heru’s shop?”

“My people are the most familiar with the area in Dunzhou, and I can use Liu’er’s eyes.” Yang Qiu and Cui Qing are a little bit tricky. In the past, Cui Qing went to Dunzhou to do business, and he also followed him a few times. “Brother Huo, if you are willing to trust me, I will make this trip for you.”

Fang Laoshi immediately changed his face and said, “You’re doing a good job!”

They bit each other to death and refused to give in.King Yi’s money is the life-saving money in the future, and no one is willing to share it with others. For this reason, the stalemate here makes the atmosphere heavy.

Yang Qiu’s words were blocked by Fang Laoshi. He sat here and became more and more anxious. He was worried that Huo Lingyun would not be able to withstand the Cizhou garrison. He simply wanted to kill people and grab money tonight.

The Fanzhou soldiers on the city wall were peeing against the corner when they suddenly heard several whistles coming from below.He tied his pants and didn’t dare to poke his head out directly. Instead, he glanced down from the middle of the wall.Bonfires were lit in the fields, and the Cizhou garrison lined up in front of the city with shields on their backs, but no horn sounded for battle.

Yin Chang stood at the front, drank a few sips of wine, and shouted: “Is King Yi here? Call him and go up to the city wall, let’s talk!”

Fanzhou soldiers still feel the pain of being stabbed through by sharp knives last night. Yin Chang was like an old madman when he chased them, and his power is still there to this day.Fanzhou General Banner is a bandit who follows Yang Qiu. Huo Lingyun specially puts he here.He lay on the wall and spat at Yin Chang, saying, “You’re such a fool, don’t even think about tricking me into leaving the city.”

Not to be outdone, Yin Chang scolded: “You are a weakling in Fanzhou. You are a shrinking bastard who doesn’t deserve to be licked by me! Bah, you little bastard! Why don’t you start a fight? Come down here and carry the shoes for our Lord.”

When Yin Chang was young, he lived in the market and used obscene words casually. He would stand here drinking for fun, and he could curse for three days and three nights.He used vulgar words, scolded him to the point where he was happy, and he led the garrison to cheer together, as happy as if it was the New Year.

The general banner followed Yang Qiu and was used to being powerful in Dengzhou. Even when King Yi of Fanzhou was there, he was polite to him. Last night, Yin Chang walked him around in the field and poked his butt again. Now he was accusing him of resentment and yelled at him while leaning on the wall.

As soon as the general flag retorted, Yin Chang waved his hand, encouraging the Cizhou garrison behind him to shout and sing back.The general’s momentum could not be suppressed, and his voice was drowned out by the hes. He became so angry that he smashed the wall in anger and said to his left and right: “Shoot him!”

The Fanzhou soldiers raised their bows with a bang, and the Cizhou garrison below immediately ran away.They were equipped with shields and ran and cursed at the “clinking” of several falling arrows. When they were out of the shooting range of Fanzhou soldiers, they stood on the line and booed at the wall in unison.

Yin Chang jumped into the line, raised his hands, and let the horn blow behind him. The old man shouted with a red face: “Where is Fanzhou——”

The Cizhou garrison said in unison: “Even though he is a weakling!”

Yin Chang shouted again: “Wang Yi——”

The Cizhou garrison continued: “He is just a scumbag!”

Fanzhou’s arrows were unable to hit, and all the sergeants, big and small, were lying on the wall, shouting insults in reply, but unfortunately the effect was little.Yin Chang also made up a tune for the garrison. They stood here and roared deafeningly.

The commander-in-chief leaned half of his body out, his face was livid after being scolded, and he roared in the air: “Old man, shout! I’m going to cut out your rotten tongues!”

“Come on, come on,” Yin Chang seemed to be drunk, stepping on the snow, spinning in circles, clapping his hands and saying, “If you don’t come, the old man will recognize you as his daughter, daughter!” He pinched his fingers, turned back to look at the general flag on the wall, pinched his throat, and said, “I’m going to cut your tongues out, and tear your face off!”

Yin Chang is so young that the wrinkles on his face can be pinched out, but he imitates women so perfectly that he has mastered the charm to the point where he stamps his feet so hard that the ice particles jump under his feet.

The general flag’s face was blue and white.

The composition of Fanzhou’s soldiers is complex and cannot be regarded as soldiers at all. The sworn enemies are all grouped together. This will see the general banner being humiliated, and everyone may be laughing at him behind his back.

When had the commander-in-chief ever experienced such a shame and humiliation? He pushed away the soldier next to him and said: “Prepare your horses!”

The soldier hurriedly chased after him and said: “Huo——”

“Huo Lingyun,” the general flag suddenly pulled up the soldiers and said in a vicious voice, “I am the leader of Yang Da’s family. When Huo Lingyun was killing the garrison in Dengzhou, he was still peeing his pants. He is also worthy of commanding me? Take a fire gun!”

The image of Yin Chang being beaten by a fire cannon and running around was still fresh in his memory. Nearly half of them died under Yin Chang’s division. Tonight, with Fanzhou City at his back, he was more confident than last night.The worst case scenario is to just go back, I’m afraid of a bird!Anyway, they have horses. When they retreat to the city, they will use their bows and arrows. Yin Chang will die if he dares to pursue them.

Yin Chang lifted his trouser legs, and the old man reached back and touched the handle of his knife.he no longer laughed, and his cloudy eyes were as quiet as the night sky.He adjusts his breathing. This is a method he has developed himself. As long as he calms down his breathing before fighting, he can stand firm.

There are extremely talented generals in this world. They are young, not only ambitious, but also dazzling.But there is also a kind of general who never has a moment of fame in his life. He always turns his back to the sky and only sees the square inch of land under his feet.

Yin Chang is very old.

The moment the city gate opened, Yin Chang felt the fighting spirit rushing in his body again, which was the passion that he has been burning to this day.He couldn’t see the old man coming towards him, he was still so young, and the surging blood made him draw the sword at no slower speed.

Win a game!

Even if he is not a famous general.
