Chapter 8: Outbreak Again
"Shameless dog official ...... who lost his conscience"
The young farmers did not have weapons, but they were even more excited.
Although they are not like the military households, they have blind obedience to Li Rui, but when the Tartar soldiers killed them earlier, these farmers actually wanted to enter Haifeng County to take refuge, but the officials and lords in the city, afraid that there would be Tartar spies among them, turned them away, and even drove them away with arrows, and finally were caught by the Tartars to fill the trenches, killing and wounding hundreds.
It can be said that the farmers have accumulated a lot of resentment, and with Li Rui taking the lead at this time, they are naturally subordinate!
"You...... You, do you want to rebel?! ”
Liu Zhenhai pulled out his waist knife in a panic, and shouted angrily.
When he entered the Great Reef Fort just now, he was only happy and excited, and he didn't take a second look at these young men in rags, and even thought in his subconscious that the soldiers were able to kill the Tartars, mostly because of luck.
But now, looking at the swords and guns with dried blood in the hands of the soldiers, he realized that things were far from being as simple as he imagined!
"It's okay to leave if you want to, since you don't dare to fight with the Tartars, then leave your weapons and armor behind."
Li Rui didn't pay attention to his question, just looked at the bird guns in the hands of the family members, and said coldly.
"Traitors, they are all traitors, don't you be afraid that the court will destroy you!" Liu Zhenhai continued to scold, but kicked the head of the family next to him.
In the past, there have been incidents of commotion and even riots among the military households, and the head of the family has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing, as long as the leader is killed by thunderous means, the rest are not worried!
He immediately quietly poured ammunition into the powder pool of the bird's gun, and then suddenly aimed the gun at Li Rui's head, and shouted: "The kid is looking for death, watch grandpa smash your brain......"
"Puff~!"
Two spears pierced the chest and abdomen of the head of the family at the same time, and the shouting stopped abruptly.
As the two military households drew back their spears, the head of the family suddenly collapsed to the ground, and the dead fish eyes that had lost their vitality looked directly at the surrounding military households. It seems that even to death I can't believe that these military households, who are oppressed by themselves on weekdays, have become so decisive and ruthless!
"Kill! Kill! Kill~!!! ”
When the soldiers saw the blood, the anger of fighting with the Tartars suddenly broke out again.
"Don't mess around, weapons, armor for you, all for you, be long~!"
Looking at the military households approaching with knives and guns around him, as well as the head of the family who was dead on the ground, Liu Zhenhai decisively put down his waist knife, and begged for mercy while removing his armor, as if he was afraid that if he was a little slower, he would be stabbed into a blood gourd by the military households.
"Weapons and armor are given to you, as long as you go~!"
Looking at the military households approaching with knives and guns around him, as well as the head of the family who was dead on the ground, Liu Zhenhai decisively put down his waist knife, and begged for mercy while removing his armor, as if he was afraid that if he was a little slower, he would be stabbed into a blood gourd by the military households.
"When the long, when the long, when the long~!"
When the family members saw it, they refused to lag behind, and they put down their bird guns one after another, and untied their waist knives, battle jackets, and iron helmets.
"Get out, take these heads away, if you dare to lose a tael of the court's reward afterwards, let's go to Wuding Prefecture to find you and reason!" Li Rui pointed at those Tartar heads, and waved his hand in disgust.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Liu Zhenhai sweated profusely and said yes, asked the family members to each pick up a Tartar head, carried the body of the head of the family, and escaped from the big reef fort without delaying for a moment.
……
……
After driving Liu Zhenhai away, Li Rui immediately asked people to collect the fine bird guns of the family members and distribute them to the military households who could use them.
He also didn't expect the soldiers to be able to play any three-stage shooting, every five people were responsible for four bird guns, four people loaded, and one person shot, so as to ensure that there were more than ten bird guns in a continuous salvo.
For this reason, Li Rui asked Wu Meiniang to inform the women to collect all the paper and thinner linen cloth in the fort, and teach the soldiers to make fixed ammunition, which can greatly speed up the loading speed and prevent the explosion accident caused by more ammunition.
And what Li Rui can't put down the most is the tiger squatting cannon.
The cannon body is 2 feet long, the total weight is 36 pounds, two people can run around with their front paws, according to the old military household who will use it, each launch can be loaded with 100 small lead or small stones, and a large lead bullet or large stone bullet weighing 30 taels is used to press the top, and the large and small bullets fly out when fired in close combat, and a dozen large pieces!
If there had been this small cannon before, he would have fired a cannon at the cave of the fort gate, so as to ensure that the Tartars who were chasing after him would be killed and wounded, and Zhao Laosi would not have to hold the gunpowder bag and die with the Tartars.
The gunpowder and marble of the Huzun cannon were naturally made into a fixed assembly by the military households, and a lot of the remaining gunpowder was also made into a five-kilogram gunpowder bag.
Well, the ten-pound gunpowder bag is too powerful, and it's just right to reduce it by half!
All the weapons that the military households have replaced are handed over to the young farmers to use, and the remaining young farmers use the weapons of the captured Tartars.
Since the Tartars are cavalry battles, weapons can be carried by war horses, so each Tartar soldier is almost equipped with four or five weapons, spears, scimitars, horned bows, and even maces, which are barely enough for the young farmers to use!
……
"Brother Rui, let's eat."
When the last rays of dusk were gone, the women also brought the young men the boiled horse meat, which was full of several large vats, as well as steamed cauldron helmets.
Horse meat is, of course, the Tartar war horses that were killed and wounded, and the pot helmet is the military rations of the captured Tartars!
"Aunt Six, do you and the old people and children have any food?" Li Rui asked the woman who delivered the meal.
"Yes, Mei Niang, this girl is capable, she has gathered all the rations, everyone eats a big pot of rice to tide over the difficulties together, and no one can eat more and occupy more."
The sixth aunt glanced at Wu Meiniang, who was holding Xiao Wanwan on the side, and said with praise.
"Thank you, girl~!"
"Thank you, Brother Rui!"
The young farmers from outside were still worried that their families would be bullied, but after hearing Aunt Liu's reply, they immediately put their hearts back in their stomachs, and thanked Wu Meiniang and Li Rui together.
Then, each snorted and waited for Li Rui to order the rice.
Whether it is a young military household or a young farmer, I don't know how long it has been since I have eaten such a sumptuous meal, or perhaps I have never eaten it......
Li Rui took a pot helmet first, filled a bowl of broth, and scolded the young men with a smile: "What are you looking at Li Rui doing, hurry up and eat, when we are full, we will arrange to resist the rejection of the Tartar cavalry." ”
The young men did not hesitate any longer, and lined up amid the scolding of the women, and received pot helmets and broth.
One by one, they were like starving ghosts reincarnated, and when they received the hot broth, they poured it into their mouths, and they rolled their eyes and refused to spit out!
"Brother, this is for you."
Xiao Wanwan jumped down from Wu Meiniang's arms, spread out her little hand and handed a piece of air-dried beef to Li Rui.
