Chapter Seventy-Three: Deliberation by the Defu Mansion
On the official road, three horses and a carriage walked slowly, the woods on the side of the road were dense and overgrown, and the corpses of some dead homeless people emitted a foul smell.
On a steed in front sat a very burly and resolute man, with a large knife in his hand, a quiver on his back, a bow and arrow, and a dagger pinned to his leg.
Behind him was a dilapidated carriage, still drawn by a field of horses, and on it sat a young man in a carriage, as burly as the first, and equally armed.
I don't know what was sitting inside the carriage, the whole carriage was covered all around, and nothing was visible from the outside.
The carriage was followed by two men on horseback, who were vigilant at all times to protect the carriage.
At this time, a pleasant voice came from inside the carriage, and said, "Little general, where are you now?" ”
The man driving the carriage said: "Now we have arrived in the territory of Guide Mansion, only half a day to reach Guide Mansion, we have been walking all these days all the way to hear the general's heroic deeds, I have long wanted to go back to follow the general to fight in the east and west, and now my hands are itchy." ”
The woman in the carriage asked, "What kind of man are your generals?" ”
The man driving the carriage suddenly showed a look of arrogance, and said: "It's not for Miss to blow, if other people are really not familiar with the general, I have followed the general since the beginning, and I know what the general likes to eat and what the general likes to wear." Our general is really a big hero, a powerful character, when we were in Yangzhou City, we were already a rout, and we were about to face being exterminated by the Tartars, and all of us were disheartened and waiting for the arrival of the Tartars' butcher's knife.
But the general was different, he woke up and immediately organized his men and horses to kill the enemy everywhere in Yangzhou City, and at the same time gathered the separated brothers, but in a few days the general gathered an army of 1,000 people, and sneaked out of Yangzhou City overnight to burn the grain and grass of the Qing army, robbed the war horses, and defeated Duoduo, one of the most powerful people in the Tartars.
Who in this world can compare with the general? Which one was not driven away by the Tartars? Now the general is advancing to the north, capturing Guide Mansion and slapping the Tartar with a big face, just thinking about it makes me feel relieved. ”
The woman in the carriage laughed and said, "The little girl just asked how your general's people were, but you told the little girl so many deeds." However, from these deeds, I can see that your general is indeed a great hero and a powerful character. It seems that you admire your generals. ”
The man smiled and said: "That is, our general is my goal of study, and I will fight for the general in the future and become the general's right-hand man." ”
"Haha" At this time, the man at the front laughed and said: "Xiao Wu, don't think so far ahead, or make war exploits step by step, and practice your martial arts so that you can become a general, and now our general has become a lord, and his status has increased by a point." Maybe the general will be even higher in the future, but you need to work hard. ”
Xiao Wu on the carriage smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you wait, I will definitely become the general's right-hand man and become a general." ”
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, the other three big men laughed at the same time.
The four men in these are the four scouts who picked up Bian Min, and the woman sitting in the carriage is Bian Yujing's sister Bian Min.
All the way from Nanjing City, I didn't encounter much harassment along the way, after all, these four scouts were not idle eaters, and those people didn't dare to approach these four big men who were tall and fat, and had a round waist.
Now that the trip of a few days has almost arrived at Guide Mansion, the four scouts are very excited, and Bian Min in the carriage is even more excited.
The mission of the four scouts is almost complete, and they can return to their own army to make a contribution, fight on the battlefield, fight for their own people, and fight for their country.
And Bian Min is about to be able to see her sister, after so many days of separation, Bian Min has long missed her sister.
Bian Min knew a lot of news from the mouths of these four scouts, including how Bian Yujing and Liu Xia met, and how they developed into today's relationship.
"My sister now has a good home, but what does my future look like?"
Bian Min felt a little melancholy in her heart, or she was very envious of Bian Yujing, but she knew that if she was with her sister in the future, she would definitely not have a good life in the future and not find a good man to marry.
"More than thirty miles ahead is the Guide Mansion, but this place is very peaceful now, Xiao Wang, you go back quickly and inform Mrs. that Miss is back, so that Mrs. can rest assured."
The big man who walked in front wiped the sweat from his face and said to a big man behind the carriage.
The big Hanno said and hurried to Guide Mansion.
…………
Qing Army
"The army will set off today, and there will be no delay, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
More than 8,000 people said that it was not much, and it was not too much, and they set out from Beijing City and marched towards Guide Mansion.
Kong Youde has experienced a hundred battles, but this time he did not dare to underestimate Liu Xia, he knew in his heart that although Liu Xia defeated him last time was not his own reason, Kong Youde still did not dare to underestimate Liu Xia.
Other generals of the Ming Dynasty were not shocked and timid when they heard the name of Duoduo, and this Liu Xia even dared to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth, and Kong Youde admired the courage of such a person, such a person is naturally not a simple person.
This battle is very important to Dolgon, he Kong Youde does not dare to be careless, if he is defeated this time, Kong Youde can't believe how Dolgon will deal with him.
Duoduo was defeated and not punished, that is because Duoduo is Dorgon's own brother, he Kong Youde is just a Ming general who surrendered, I don't know how many Ming generals like him, Dolgon only needs to nod his head if he wants to kill him, and his Kong Youde will be separated.
Bai Yitu and Kong Youde rode in parallel, Bai Yitu was the head of the eight Manchu protector King Kong, with infinite strength and strong martial arts. There is the courage of ten thousand people, and it can be said that he is a warrior admired by everyone among the Tartars.
Bai Yitu naturally will not sell Kong Youde's face, nor will he give Kong Youde a good face, in Bai Yitu's eyes, Kong Youde is a villain, a real man will not surrender, Bai Yitu looked at Kong Youde with contempt in his eyes.
"I don't know how General Kong plans to defeat Liu Xia this time? Last time, I suffered a lot of losses from him. Bai Yitu looked at Kong Youde with a haughty face.
Kong Youde doesn't know what this Bai Yi Tu means, although he is a prince, and the other party is just a general, but Bai Yi Tu is a Tartar after all, a pure Tartar, or a warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Kong Youde does not dare to offend at this point.
Kong Youde said with a smile: "According to the news, although Liu Xia has more than 5,000 people, but less than 3,000 of them can fight, we have a great advantage in troops, this time Liu Xia wants to attack us with a surprise move, there is no danger to defend in the Defu Horse Pingchuan, and there is no hidden place such as mountains and forests, it is a little difficult to ambush, so if Liu Xia wants to go head-to-head, this king is confident that it will be destroyed." ”
"Hahaha" Bai Yitu laughed and said: "General Kong is really confident, but when the time comes, General Kong will win a big victory, which will make the regent happy and happy, and maybe reward General Kong with some gold and silver beauties of Han dogs." ”
Bai Yitu's words made Kong Youde feel a little angry, but Kong Youde still controlled himself, and finally smiled and stopped talking.
"The army is advancing quickly and rushing to Guide Mansion as soon as possible."
…………
Guide to the province
Liu Xia was still thinking about a strategy with a group of generals at this time.
Liu Xia glanced at Chen Liu and said, "I don't know what Mr. has planned?" ”
Chen Liu shook the fan in his hand and said, "General, we only have more than 2,000 troops available in our hands now, and it is a little difficult to defeat Kong Youde's 8,000 elites head-on, so we can only win by surprise." ”
Liu Xia said: "Guide Mansion is located in the plain, there is no mountain peak within a radius of 100 miles, and there is no danger to defend. ”
Liu Xia frowned and began to think about various battles in ancient and modern China and abroad, after all, he had hundreds of years of knowledge compared to these people, and now the information about the end of the Ming Dynasty in his mind was not of much use, and history had quietly changed. slowly detached from the original track, and the future road will depend on Liu Xia himself.
**? **War?
Liu Xia's mind flashed, yes, **.
** is an inexpensive defensive weapon. Explosive firearms buried under the surface of the earth or laid on the ground originated in China at the earliest. When the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty used **, that is, there was a precedent for using ** a long time ago. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a real ** with a mechanical ignition device appeared. In 1580, when the famous general Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty was stationed in Jizhou, he made a kind of "steel wheel fire"**, when the enemy stepped on the motive, the steel wheel rotated and the flint was sharply rubbed and ignited, detonated**.
"Chen Liu, you immediately let the craftsmen rush to make **." Liu Xia said excitedly.
As soon as Liu Xia's words fell, the other generals exclaimed: "**! ”
Liu Xia smiled and said: "Yes, it's **, compared to everyone has heard of **, General Qi Jiguang Qi used ** back then, and the enemy suffered heavy losses." This time, General Ben put down ** in the place where the enemy came, and waited for the enemy to enter the ** area, and when the ** bombed suffered heavy losses, we rushed up and killed, and we will definitely be able to win a big victory. ”
"General, this ** general has also heard of it, but he doesn't know how to make it. Those craftsmen may not be able to," Chen Liu said to Liu Xia with some embarrassment.
It's a good thing, but the method of making it is not known to everyone.
