CHAPTER 40
The sad Zhu Yidao really couldn't get out of that strange circle. If I had been able to design the leads, maybe those brothers would not have died. If you know how to build guns and cannons, let alone fight a small blue-headed army, it is not a problem to unify the world!
Jiang Fei walked in, looked at the doctor who was changing his medicine, and said calmly: "You yourself said that it is inevitable that people will not die in war. But let the brothers die worthwhile. Those brothers, in exchange for their lives, Bo Chengen and at least thirty blue-headed soldiers, they died worth it! ”
After that, he stared at Zhu Yidao: "You have to learn to face death and war now!" I know you don't like it, but you can only live better if the enemy dies! Let go of your useless mercy! All you have to do now is to survive well and survive until reinforcements arrive! ”
Lao Zhu is like a slap in the head! yes, they deserved to die! I'm a little too ...... Jiang Fei is right, he must learn to harden his heart and face countless deaths and wars in the future!
His hand hidden in the futon couldn't help but touch the 54 pistol in his boot. Some things, even if they are out of time, still have to be used when it's time to save your life! Anyway, today's firearms are advanced enough, and perhaps this weapon is not remarkable to use.
Reinforcements, when will the reinforcements arrive!
Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again, and the blue-headed army began to attack in a big way.
Jiang Fei hurriedly ran up to the city tower to organize defense, and Lao Zhu could only lie in the house and listen to the sound of battle outside.
In the past few days, his deeds have spread throughout the city. Jinyi Wei Baihu risked his life, lured Bo Chengen, the commander of the Cangtou Army, and blew it up with gunpowder, succeeding in one fell swoop, and at the same time bombarding Bo Yun with a cannon. With such a record, looking at the entire Northwest, no one dares to say that it is not good! After all, the Cangtou Army has been famous throughout the desert over the years, and its exploits have been played by Bobai father and son little by little, with more victories and fewer defeats, if anyone can actually kill Bobai's eldest son and righteous son in a battle, it is really a great feat!
So everyone's confidence is inexplicably high! The five thousand sergeants who had just defected couldn't help but look at this hundred households with admiration and discussed a lot, Lao Zhu himself didn't think so, but even those wolves, whenever they saw Zhu Yidao, they unconsciously expressed their respect: Only such a person is worthy of being his own hundred households!
Only Lao Zhu is more unhappy. He still prefers to fight with the wolves before, whether big or small, or he prefers to eat and drink with everyone without a fight, but now that everyone suddenly respects him, he doesn't like this feeling very much. It seems that I was not born to be an official! Lao Zhu thought unconsciously.
The offensive of the Cangtou Army in the past few days has not been very fierce, and the means are relatively simple. They were stalling until the reinforcements of the Rabbit arrived. The location of the Central Acropolis is rather peculiar, and if this place is not in your hands, the whole of Ningxia will not be able to completely settle down. Bobbai would not have been ignorant of this.
Lao Zhu and Jiang Fei were very worried. The reason why they were able to blow up Bo Chengen and Bo Yun was because they were light on the enemy, and there was a lot of luck involved. Such luck is hard to come by. Such luck cannot be expected in the next big war. And, most crucially, casualties are slowly appearing. Although the Cangtou army also had losses, his losses began: after he returned, Bobai would complete it. Zhu was miserable with one knife, his people died one less and one less, and he couldn't get any supplements, and the grain and grass were slowly decreasing.
The grain in the grain depot in Zhongwei City is still enough for less than 5,000 people to eat, but how long can it last while sitting on the empty mountain?
It is necessary to deal with the Cangtou army before the arrival of the Rabbit army! Even if you can't kill it, you have to cripple it!
Lao Zhu summoned Jiang Fei and Bo Lian together and discussed: "You can't be beaten passively like this!" We're going to find a way to get out there and get it done! Otherwise, the Acropolis can't afford it! ”
Jiang Fei also thought the same way, but he was suffering from the limited number of troops: the five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people were okay to defend, and it was almost impossible to let them attack; The three hundred brocade guards on hand must be dispersed among them, otherwise they will not be able to stabilize the morale of the army and will not be able to control the scene.
Zhu Yidao gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Gather the three hundred wolves tonight!" Jiang Fei, you personally lead the team! Go out and sneak attack, it's best to find their food and grass - take as much as you can, and burn it if you can't! ”
Jiang Fei pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "That's the only way!" We have been passively beaten these days, and the Cangtou Army, which lacks a coach, should not have thought that we can still counterattack, and the sneak attack at night should be successful! ”
Bo Lian had been silent, and Lao Zhu and Jiang Fei looked at him strangely, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Bolian raised his head: "I know where their food and grass are, and I also know where their biggest weakness is. But have you ever thought about it - once the Cangtou army is destroyed, there will be no army in the entire northwest that can suppress the scene! Immediately the Northwest will be a mess! ”
Zhu Yidao and Jiang Fei were shocked!
Indeed, the northwest can still maintain stability on the surface, and the Cangtou Army is indispensable. Without its existence, those alien races would be ready to move again, not to mention fighting each other, and would frequently harass the Ming Dynasty.
The Northwest is like a Pandora's box, and the Grey Heads are like the keys. I opened it, threw away the key, and the consequences were unimaginable. Zhu Yidao shivered in his heart.
"Isn't Li Chengliang still there?" Jiang Fei hesitated for a long time.
"Li Chengliang's army, can you master such a long border?! Do you think he's a god? Even if he does it, can the emperor still tolerate him?! Bo Lian's eyes flashed, and he looked at the two of them.
Lao Zhu and Jiang Fei glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes!
After the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, wantonly slaughtered heroes, and this lesson is still vivid! From Li Shanchang to Lan Yu, no one was spared!
"Today's saints are not ancestors! He wouldn't do that! Jiang Fei gasped and said with red eyes.
"How do you know him so well? How do you know he won't do that? What's going on with that Zhang Juzheng? Bo Lian looked at Jiang Fei's red eyes without fear.
Jiang Fei immediately wilted. yes, what's going on with that Zhang Juzheng?
"The problem now is that if we don't solve the Cangtou Army, we'll be finished!" Lao Zhu saw that the situation was wrong, and quickly pulled the topic back.
"If you want to retreat from the Cangtou army, I have a way; If you want to destroy the Cangtou Army, I have a way. What do you want to do? ”
For the first time, Lao Zhu felt that he couldn't see through Bo Lian. Perhaps Boren's experience was not as simple as he suggested.
“…… Let's push them back! Zhu Yidao also felt that he couldn't beat the Cangtou Army too hard. Killed Bo Cheng Enbo Yun in one day, and the Cangtou army was already greatly injured. Now we can't let them lose too badly. Otherwise, the situation in the northwest will be difficult to clean up. Don't forget, behind Bo Bai is the Hetao Mongolian Rabbit!
"Then let's ...... tonight"
In the middle of the night, the blue-headed soldiers all slept with their heads covered. These timid Han Chinese! killed his own commander with treacherous tricks, and the whole army could not advance or retreat. Even if you capture the Acropolis, you don't know what Lord Bobai will do with him when you go back! Now I can only take one step at a time, and the army of Rabbit is coming quickly, and after coming, the Acropolis will be leveled, and Bo Chengen's death can also be put into an accident.
Three hundred wolves quietly approached them.
Since they did not believe that the Han people would attack at night, even the sentries who watched the night were constantly dozing. Lao Zhu and the others easily touched it - Jiang Fei was resolutely opposed to Zhu Yidao's insistence on following the action, his injuries were not completely healed, and he was the commander of the First Army, so he couldn't act in person.
But Zhu Yidao said that he had a special way to make these cangtou soldiers panic quickly - he bought all the masks of those entertainers in the city, and made a lot of them, just for sneak attacks, and made strange noises to disturb the attention of the enemy troops. After some explanation, Jiang Fei reluctantly agreed, but he still assigned more than a dozen people to follow Zhu Yidao's side, and in the event of an accident, he didn't have to worry about anything, and went back to the city directly with Zhu Yidao!
Gradually, tents were seen storing grain, grass and horse feed. Jiang Fei made a gesture, and everyone rushed up!
Suddenly, the entire camp was ablaze! The blue-headed soldiers hurriedly put on their clothes, drew their waist knives, and prepared to meet this sudden night attack, but unfortunately, they were killed by the fierce fighting of the wolves.
Everyone quickly set the tent on fire with the flint they brought, and the blue-headed army gathered more and more. But the night was too dark, and the camp was full of smoke, and it was quickly disrupted, and no one could find anyone.
Only the wolves communicated with each other with a special whistle, and when they had completed their mission, they quickly evacuated outward. When they were about to retreat to the periphery, suddenly a group of enemy troops surrounded them, and one of them pointed at Lao Zhu and shouted at them.
Lao Zhu was shocked! How do they know themselves? didn't think about it immediately, pulled out the May Fourth on his leg, and shot at this group of people several times!
There were only nine bullets in May Fourth. But this kind of continuous firearm is still not available in Daming, and the wolves are also surprised by this new firearm! Several of the enemy had fallen, but the others were screaming and screaming to death!
Afraid of you? No matter how good the kung fu is, I'm afraid of kitchen knives! What's more, Lao Tzu is still May Fourth in his hands! Zhu Yidao thought of it with disdain, quickly changed the magazine, and continued to shoot.
It took two magazines in a row to get rid of these people. Lao Zhu put away his gun with trepidation, but found that everyone was looking at him with a glowing green light.
That's a good thing! If I can equip this thing, I can use it for thousands of people for just 300 people! Even the corners of Jiang Fei's mouth drooped......
"Let's talk about it later!" Lao Zhu saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly greeted everyone. Only then did everyone react and speed up and rush to the city.
