Chapter 59 The emperor's fate is difficult

Xiao Senhan slapped him over and shouted: "What are you calling blindly, Lao Tzu are all living people." ”

This person instantly calmed down and said, "The little one is called Wang Xuan, but he is just an ordinary scout of the Ming army." ”

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he watched Xiao Senhan talk to the people of the Yu nationality behind him in the Yu language, and asked in surprise: "Brother, are you Han or Hu?"

Shui Wa took out a pistol, shot Wang Shuan in the right foot, and shouted in awkward Chinese: "Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense! Xiao Gongzi will be honest if you ask you, and I promise to leave you a whole corpse!"

His mouth was directly blocked, and Wang Shuo looked painful, opened his big eyes, and nodded vigorously.

The servant who blocked his mouth kicked him in the wound after taking his hand away, and shouted in a low voice: "Be honest with me!"

Wang Xuan suppressed the pain, groaned a few times in a low voice, and said: "We are the Badi garrison that was forcibly transferred and interspersed into the land of the Hu people to stop the Hu people from escaping westward. We have a total of 30,000 people, and about 5,000 people are stationed at the foot of the mountain, according to the report of the Hu spies, this is an important gathering point of the Hu people, and we are ready to take this place. ”

Xiao Senhan interrupted: "Where did the rest of you go?"

Wang Shuan shook his head, and Shui Wa quickly put a pistol against his left foot, and said, "If you don't say it, Lao Tzu is giving you a shot!"

"I said! The 20,000 men of the army had crossed the Jinsha River last night, and 5,000 of them had gone down by boat, stopping the fleeing Yu people along the way. ”

Xiao Senhan quickly found a detailed regional topography map of the southwest region in the storage bag, placed it in front of Wang Xuan, pointed to the two points in the map, and asked, "Are all the 20,000 Ming troops scattered here?"

Wang Xuan looked at the map and did not speak for a long time.

Xiao Senhan leaned over and read in his ear: "I am a person from Jinling in the Ming Dynasty, but we are each our own master, brother, don't worry, I will spare your life!"

Wang Xuan glanced at Xiao Senhan with a shocked expression, and said in a low voice: "Brother, why are you so suffering? The extinction of the people of the Yu clan is a foregone conclusion, you are ......?"

"I have my mission, which is to leave with the children of the Yu tribe. You should know in your heart that we are all soldiers, and if you don't suffer your family, why do you want to exterminate women and children?"

Wang Xuan nodded silently and said, "Brother, I understand you, I am also a family person, but the emperor's life is difficult to do, and we also have suffering." ”

As he spoke, Wang Shuan smeared his fingers with blood on the hem of his trousers, drew a circle on the map in Xiao Senhan's hand, and said in a low voice: "This is the place where our heavy troops gather. ”

Xiao Senhan took a closer look at the circle marked by Wang Xuan, the Ming army had already laid heavy troops on the Jinsha River, a defense line of several kilometers, like a sharp sword straight into the hinterland, completely blocking the people of the Yu nationality to the land of Yunnan and Gui, and also blocking the way for Xiao Senhan to lead everyone south.

Xiao Senhan picked up a wooden stick, moved upstream along the Jinsha River in the map, and said, "Is this road feasible?"

Wang Xuan explained: "As long as you have a way to cross the Jinsha River, it is best to cross the river at night, detour the border between the two provinces, and go straight to the land of Dianchi Lake, this road is feasible." ”

Xiao Senhan put away the map, stood up gently, and yelled at Shui Wa: "Tie up this person and throw it here." ”

Wang Shuan supported his body vigorously and said, "Brother, I can only help you get here." ”

Shui Wa asked puzzledly, "Why didn't Xiao Gongzi kill this person?"

Xiao Senhan took out a little snack from the storage bag and threw it beside Wang Xuan, and said, "I exchanged his life for a way to escape, and leaving his life behind is a promise that is true to my word." ”

Shui Wa and the others nodded as if they understood whether they understood or not, and after tying up the five flowers, they discarded them in the jungle.

As soon as everyone came out of the jungle, they saw that the Ming army was gathering, and the forward assembled troops had already begun to march.

The collapsed mountain road has been cleared out of a sheep's intestine path, and the Ming army began to climb along the cliffs.

They were about 500 meters away from the front line of the Ming army, and everyone hid behind the pile of stones, Xiao Senhan said softly: "Everyone throw the grenade out for me and blow up this road for me!"

"Boom! bang! bang!" "Rocks flew from the cliff in an instant, and the stones that rolled down smashed towards the Ming army.

The Ming army retreated in a panic, and the falling stones fell from the sky like rain. The person in command of the Ming army immediately made a decision and pointed to everyone to flee.

The smoke and dust produced by the explosion just disguised everyone. Everyone passed through quickly in the smoke and dust, and for those Ming troops who were rising, they took out Type 95 assault rifles and fired a burst of shots.

The Ming army roared: "There are Yu people!"

"The enemy is coming! Quick, set off the beacon!"

Suddenly, a Ming army came out of the camp, and the people in the front row instantly opened their bows and arrows.

The two sides were too far apart, and the rain of arrows fell on the front line army.

The distance of 500 meters was not within the shooting range of Xiao Senhan and others, but the Ming army then pushed the ballista out, and then the Ming army set up long-range artillery.

In history, a large number of artillery with longer barrels were also manufactured during the Wanli period, which was more powerful and wider. The explosive firearms of the Ming Dynasty were quite developed, and there were two major categories: one was landmines, which had a wide variety of varieties, including dozens of kinds of stone mines, ceramic mines, pig iron mines, and so on;

Xiao Senhan took out the binoculars and took a look, and determined that this kind of artillery with a long barrel was not the legendary long-range heavy artillery, also called the early Hongyi cannon, a technology copied by the Ming Dynasty. Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go back to the cottage!"

After a short confrontation, Xiao Senhan had a general understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, the most important thing was the Ming army, which began to use firearms widely from the Zhu Di period, and this Hongyi cannon was introduced to the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. With lugs and sights, the firing range can be adjusted, the gun body has a long life, the large one weighs 1.6 tons, and the firing range can reach 1.9 km!

Xiao Senhan was afraid of artillery of this range and suppressed him with artillery.

The water baby took everyone around the cliff and quickly returned to the cottage.

Xiao Senhan beckoned to everyone: "Everyone immediately and completely copycats." ”

He had to reassess the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and originally wanted to use modern weapons to tear through the Ming army's defense line, but the Ming army was also equipped with all kinds of explosive firearms, which was bound to increase the casualties of the Yu people.

He originally planned to use the geographical advantage of the cottage to compete head-on with the Ming army, frustrate the Ming army's spirit, and let them see the advanced weapons across time and space.

But the reality is that the other 20,000 men of the Ming army have already set up a blockade line, and once they fight with the Ming army here, Xiao Senhan's vital force will be consumed here. If the 5,000 Ming troops can't attack the cottage, more Ming troops will rush over in the future, forming a two-sided attack. In addition, the women and children who evacuated first were afraid that it would be difficult for them to escape from the encirclement of the Ming army.

Xiao Senhan didn't want to have fun here and forget his savior mission, which led to the failure of the mission.

Gong Niu and melon seeds came over and said, "Young Master Xiao, why don't you fight?"

"Brother, this weapon is too awesome, why don't you fight with the Ming army? At least give them a head start!"

Xiao Senhan said angrily: "Spank a fart." I'm not afraid of being eaten by the Ming army making dumplings, so hurry up!"

The two of them were stunned and asked, "Can you fight or not?" The brothers are very itchy with such a good weapon, and they don't let go of a few shots, and they don't feel happy. ”

Xiao Senhan pointed at the noses of the two and shouted: "When we cross the river and fight, you two will give me the first battle, how about it?"
