19. Eat a hot meal

Previous Chapter

Liaodong Taiwei Blanxi, followed the old man in the valley to turn left and right, and stopped at a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

The small courtyard is a shack built in the sheepfold, and on the edge of the shack is a pigsty, and several half-year-old pigs that have not yet grown fat are waiting to be fed in the pen, as if they are hungry. Seeing the master return, several pigs, led by the old sow, snorted at the shepherd.

"!" Branbrook fanned his nose, and even in winter there was a lingering stench here.

"I'll live here!" The shepherd grinned, and said with a smile as he walked inside, "I tell you, this world is not peaceful, the officials and soldiers kill the silver, and the horses are also killed." My family is all dead. The shepherd took Blanxi into the yard, "I really don't dare to stay down the mountain, so I can only take the cattle up the mountain to stay!" Sit down, I'll pour you some water! ”

Blanxi didn't listen to the old shepherd's chatter at all, and his mind was turning over and over again, whether to wait for someone to come and find him, or let the old man lead the way and flee with him to the nearby state capital.

Or the latter insurance! As long as you enter the city, your captain's waist card is displayed, and you can collect the rout there. Thinking about it, his face was full of frustration again, this time the army was defeated, and I don't know how the Son of Heaven will punish him.

"Hey!" With a sigh, I saw a bowl of water appear in front of me.

The dirty bowl, the water with the ice ballast, and the fingers of the shepherd, which could not see the color, were still stuck in the water.

"Drink!" The shepherd smiled and said, "This hangs the armor platform to raise silver!" ”

Blanxi licked his chapped lips, he really didn't have the courage to put his mouth down with such water, and lowered his head to sniff, "Old man....."

Bang!

There was a muffled sound, and the bowl fell to the ground.

A hammer suddenly appeared in Bran Creek's sight.

Immediately after that, his head flickered, and everything in his vision became a double-layered image.

In the ears, nostrils, and even in the eyes, red hot blood came out.

Bang!

Again.

Branxi knelt down directly, his body as soft as noodles.

Bang!

Thump!

Blanche's eyes widened, looking up at the sky motionless. Only limbs, a few convulsions from time to time.

"Look at this head shape!"

The old shepherd searched for valuable objects on Blanxi's body, and scolded while touching it, "That head shape is not good silver!" Think I haven't seen it? Damn, kill my father and my mother's people, it's the same as this head! With that, he pulled Blanche's braids.

"Humph!" In the pigsty, a few pigs wagged their tails.

"What the is this baby?" The old shepherd took the jade pendant of Blanxi and shone it into the sun, took two more bites, and stuffed it into his arms.

"The clothes are good!" The old shepherd stood for a while, and then started to pick up Blanche again, "Hey, it's so white!" ”

"Hey, hey!" The old shepherd laughed evilly twice and said to himself, "Uncle I said that the whiter the better!" ”

Then he turned and went into the house and pulled out a rusty axe.

Squatting on the ground, humming, clicking.

"Humph!" The pigs are barking in the pigsty.

"Baaa The sheep are crowing in the sheepfold.

"Scream in vain!" The old shepherd squatted on the ground and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Call you to eat meat for the New Year again!" ”

There was no sound in the courtyard.

Then he stood up and smiled with satisfaction on his old face, "It's all meat!" You have to eat meat during the New Year! ”

The old shepherd's body dodged away, revealing pieces of minced meat on the ground that could not be distinguished from where, and a pile of fishy and sticky water.

I found a large wooden basin, and then put the water and the like in it, and the old shepherd carried it into the pigsty with great difficulty.

"Rolloro!" With her mouth in her mouth, the sow and her piglet flicked her tail and surrounded her.

The old shepherd put his things on the ground and smiled kindly, "Eat!" Eat some hot ground! It's Chinese New Year! ”

Hmph, the pigs happily flicked their tails and ate them.

The old shepherd grinned and laughed silently.

Then, the old shepherd went out with his hands behind his back, singing a light ballad in his mouth, "I see a male cat and a female cat, one end and one oops!" ”

~~~~~~~~

The night wind calls.

The pot in the tent was gurgling with water, and inside was a large piece of horse meat.

Xu Da pricked up a piece with a knife and handed it to Zhu Chongba, who was pondering on the side, "Brother, eat!" ”

Zhu Chongba frowned and shook his head, "Let's eat dry food!" ”

"It's not yours!" Xu Da said with a smile, "Yuan Jun Dima!" ”

"Oh!" Zhu Chongba nodded, whether it was hot or not, grabbed it and chewed it directly in his mouth.

On the edge of the fire, Geng Jun also grabbed a bone and gnawed it, and said in his mouth, "In this battle, we also died almost 4,000 and injured more than 2,000!" As he spoke, he threw down the bones in his hand and pointed sweetly, "It's a loss!" ”

"No loss!" Zhu Chongba wiped his fingers on the armor, "As long as we can defeat Blanxi, we won't lose!" ”

The threat from the flanks was eliminated, and only the 150,000 troops of the King of Zhenbei on the front remained. Zhu Xiaowu promised that he would get the enemy on the sea, and he would cut off the back road to the north of the town.

This kung fu Zhu Xiaowu people should also enter the land of Qilu, and when the king of Zhenbei knows that his hometown is in danger, he should panic. When the time comes, lead the whole army to cover the killing.

Damn, the Yuan Court encircled and suppressed in three ways, if there was no Zhu Xiaowu to give these ordnance and artillery, and without his people at sea, he might not dare to fight calmly like this.

Under the firelight, Zhu Chongba quietly pondered where the gap between him and Xiao Wu was.

In the final analysis, there is no Xiongcheng in the world that can be used as a solid foundation in his hands, and there is a shortage of money and food. The main thing is that there is a lack of time to recuperate.

This time I defeated the three-way army of the Yuan Court, what about next time?

It is estimated that next time, the Yuan court will transfer the soldiers and horses of Shanxi.

What is the name of the general over there, I heard that the old thing is powerful, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the good men in the northwest dare not show it.

Zhu Xiaowu can make a move this time, what about next time?

He occupies Xiangyang, once the troops on Chahan's side are transferred, will he send troops directly from Xiangyang and take the northwest?

It shouldn't be, Zhu Xiaowu now occupies Lianghuai, owns Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and has a large area of Hubei. He should have taken the land of Huguang first, then leveled the land of Fujian, and then sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Zhu Chongba suddenly laughed.

Damn, Zhu Xiaowu is really fateful, and he has become the biggest military leader in the world after a few years of hard work. Liu Futong was compared to him, and fought against Meng Yuan in the south. Meng Yuan, he can't beat him. If you want to beat him, you have to beat yourself and Liu Futong to death first.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a noisy and panicked sound in his ears, followed by a burst of screams.

Geng Jun stood up with a scolding, opened the curtain and scolded outside, "killing someone is like killing a pig!" Can't you pull the outside to kill? This is a big camp, not a grave! ”

On the second day, Zhu Chongba led the army out of camp. This area, where the Great War took place, will be known as the Tomb Land by the locals for years to come.

There is no snow in winter, and the sun is warm.

The triumphant army marched on the road laughing, and after another day, they came to a valley, and the cavalry in front of them came to report on their horses.

"Dashuai, there are more than a thousand people in the valley ahead!"

"What's the flag?" Xu Da asked beside Chonghachi.

The cavalry who reported the news smiled, "It's this piece of land that rings horses, and they want to come to the commander!" ”

Whether it is a common person or a robber, they are all human beings, and if they are human beings, they want to live.

If you don't let me live, I'll fight with you.

Liaodong Taiwei Blanxi's burning, killing and looting in the land of Qilu did not turn the men in the land of Qilu into obedient sheep, but completely ignited the beacon fire of resistance in the land of Qilu.

On the way back to Yidu with Zhu Chongba's army, there were constantly heroes with teams to vote, not seeking gold and silver, not seeking glory and wealth, but only following him to oppose the yuan. followed the blood alliance of heroes and returned to Yidu, and his strength increased instead of decreasing.

~~~

At this time, Zhu Wu in the south was reviewing his Han prince's army, the firearms battalion.

This is a unit composed entirely of hot weapons, and all the soldiers are from Huaixi and have been screened out through strict queue training. It can be said that from the moment these soldiers became soldiers, they had never practiced anything other than queue and discipline.

There were 6,000 musketeers, flintlock pistols made by craftsmen, the blue barrels shining in the sun, bayonets pinned to their waists, two boxes of ammunition on each side of the left and right, and palm-mounted thunders on their waists.

The clothes on their bodies are also different from ordinary soldiers, no longer battle jackets, but similar to the short dress of modern soldiers, with leggings and belts, felt hats in winter, and straw hats to protect against rain in summer.

Six thousand men lined up in a resting formation in a firearms battalion outside the capital. The murderous aura emitted by the 6,000 people was silent, even greater than that of the 60,000 people.

In addition to the 6,000 musketeers, this firearms battalion was equipped with twelve eighteen-pound rifled field guns. 1,200 cuirassiers, more than 400 horses.

It can be said that the cost of this army is enough for Zhu Wu to feed tens of thousands of soldiers.

But Zhu Wu is not afraid of spending money at all, and he is even willing to come up with more money to make more such troops.

It's just that the output of the craftsman's workshop is limited, and no matter how much money you have, you can't get the corresponding speed.

In addition, there is another distinctive feature of this unit, that is, its youth.

Even a little immature, many officers are simply teenagers who have just grown up, only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Six thousand infantry lined up silently, their bayonets shining with murderous intensity.

Zhu Wu rode his war horse and slowly passed in front of these young soldiers.

There were many familiar faces in them, and those teenagers were a little more intimate and dependent on the fanatical gaze in their eyes after seeing him.

"Fifth brother!" Guo Xiaosi, who was following Zhu Wu, smiled, he was the commander of this army, "When, pull it out!" ”

Zhu Wu nodded at the familiar face of the soldier, "Good steel is used on the blade, the secret weapon, how can it be left at the end!" ”

Guo Xiaosi's face was a little disappointed, he was training every day, and if he didn't pull out to fight, who knew if it would be good or not?

Then he smiled and said, "Fifth brother, give me a name!" ”

Zhu Wu reined in the war horse, looked at the soldiers, and said loudly, "Many of these are orphans I adopted, so just call them, Fake Soldiers!" ”
