Volume II, Chapter 25, The War Resumes
The little imp originally thought that the plan to rebuild the dock fort was about to be scrapped, but because he was distressed that he didn't cancel this task, but now that he has turned around, he has actually gained such a big gain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The eyes of the people and the little devils are going to laugh crookedly.
However, at the same time, this little ghost is also sighing, he still has too little experience, or rather, he is more greedy for the analyst plugin in the mall. If he had expected such a release, he would have been able to double his earnings. But now, all he can get is so little.
After all, the points he earns now are half of the points of separation. This also makes the Lust-eyed little ghost more and more concerned about the amount of income and loss.
Within a few days, Shan Tieta, Fu Da and others came up with a specific plan for the reconstruction of the dock fort, and the little ghost of the Colored Eyes also shamelessly recorded the merits and efforts of Shan Tieta and others in the name of Gu Qiqi Niang. In his opinion, Shan Tieta and others are the Gu family's personal soldiers, and in the case that Gu Yu is unreliable and Xiao An's does not approve, these personal soldiers used Gu Qiqiniang's money to rebuild the dock fort, and the credit for this should all go to Gu Qiqi Niang.
At the same time, Zhang Chip also received a reply from Jingzhong.
Shenjing affirmed the trap that Gu Qiqi Niang came up with, but raised objections to the final exploits. Shenjing said that Gu Qiqi Niang is a woman after all, just a small flash of inspiration, she will take away half of the beheading work, which is too much, in order not to hurt the heart of the border soldiers and civilians to protect the family and defend the country, the imperial court will only decapitate Gu Qiqi Niang according to one-tenth. However, the damage of this strategy to the barbarians was real, so the imperial court allowed Gu Qiqiniang to take seventy percent of the spoils.
Zhang Chip's face immediately changed when he got this answer. He never expected that the imperial court would make such a decision.
For the people at the border gates, are the military exploits important? Of course it's important. It's a pity that the merits of war are no matter how important, but the people need money more, that is, the spoils of war.
The combat merits, that is, the decapitation merits, are inherently difficult to calculate, and besides, Shanyin County is so big, and there are so many beheading merits every year, which is simply not enough for the military and civilians in Shanyin County. Moreover, the timeliness of the decapitation skill is counted, and if the decapitation skill is not collected within the specified time, the beheading skill that has been obtained is likely to be invalidated.
Furthermore, what about the use of beheading to get the title and the field? This place in Shanyin County was originally close to the border pass, even if it received the field, it was also close to the barbarians. In other words, such fields are often plundered by barbarians, and there is no harvest at all. Even if the grain is planted, it will often be wasted before the harvest, and even the people who cultivate the land will not escape the poisonous hands.
In contrast, it is more tangible to take advantage of the loot.
San'in County was so often plundered that the land could not be used for cultivation at all, so it had to be left to the barren. And the only income of the people of Shanyin County is the spoils of war.
The imperial court allowed Gu Qiqiniang to take seventy percent of it, which was equivalent to nearly half of the people's income. Originally, the people could only share fifty percent of all the spoils with the Gu family's troops, but now they only score thirty percent of them, which is not a good thing for the people of Shanyin County.
He Wenxiu, the new chief secretary of Shanyin County, saw Zhang Chip's hesitation, and said, "Why are you so worried? With that trap in the horse pit, the barbarians fell into it one by one. The people's military exploits seem to be less, but after all, they don't have to go to the battlefield to fight hard. This San'in County is getting rich, and it is just around the corner. ”
Zhang Chip shook his head and said, "You only know one but you don't know the other." How do you know that those barbarians don't know what to do? What if the barbarians join forces again and try to uproot San'in County? In addition, there is no bamboo forest in Sanyin County, and the bamboo poles used to set up horse traps need to be replenished at all times. If the barbarians are ambushed on the way, let Shanyin County lose its manpower first, and then use people to push off the trap pit, and then Shanyin County will be in danger. ”
"But now, within a radius of three miles from Shanyin County, it is full of horse pits. According to what the adults said, if you want to use human lives to push, it is not something that can be bulldozed by hundreds or thousands of human lives. ”
Zhang Chip said: "Don't be so troublesome, just a few infantry." ”
Having a few herders dismount and pull out the bamboo poles can make the trap lose at least half of its effectiveness. And Shanyin County, because there are not enough bows and crossbows, can only allow these Sanyin County's current biggest guarantees to be uprooted one by one.
That's not a good thing.
He Wenxiu didn't care.
However, as Zhang Chip said, about five days later, someone in Shanyin County found that there were many people in the chest-high grass about three miles away, and from time to time, they could see flying bamboo poles.
The soldier on the wall of Shanyin County paused the spear in his hand hatefully.
There is no way, there is no longbow or crossbow in Shanyin County, and it is impossible to reach the barbarians who are hiding in the grass three miles away.
Now even archery will only fail. Moreover, the arrows fired will only become a supply for the other party.
Zhang Chip, who arrived in a hurry, was also very embarrassed to see this scene.
He knew very well that the grassland was bitterly cold, and he had directly known the courage and good fighting of the grassland people. For the steppe peoples, only by killing and cooperating can they get more food and allow the tribe to reproduce. And in this regard, the Central Plains is one layer worse after all. In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, as long as there is land, there will be a harvest. Therefore, in terms of determination to fight to the death, the people of the Central Plains are inferior to the grassland peoples.
Especially when people have just come to San'in County, they always have a soft heart, thinking that their kindness can be exchanged for kindness from others, but they don't know that this kindness is just a sign of weakness in the eyes of others.
If it weren't for the city wall of Shanyin County, I was afraid that only two Central Plains people would be able to defeat one grassland people, and if we added chest-length grass, which was absolutely favorable to the grassland people, I was afraid that it would increase our own casualties for no reason.
As the county magistrate of Shanyin County, how could Zhang Chip watch the people of Shanyin County die in vain?
At this time, I saw Fu Da coming from the other side and said, "How can they uproot our trap?" ”
"What? What do you mean? ”
"Set fire! Burn! ”
"What?!"
After a pause, he saw that several Gu family soldiers had already drawn their bows, but on the bowstring were arrows filled with oil.
The arrows flew into the air, and there was an exclamation in the distance, and someone on the other side immediately responded with a strong bow.
At the same time, the knife light flickered in the distance. It turned out that at some point, the enemy had already sneaked into the foot of the city walls.
