When he came down from the city wall, Yue Xiang's heart was already half cold.

After talking to Zhang Yuncheng in the city for a long time, he realized that his consciousness was still very different from the consciousness of these ancient people, and he thought that some common-sense truths that he took for granted Zhang Yuncheng felt incredible, as if he had never heard of it, or it was not easy to accept.

In Yue Xiang's consciousness, once the battle started, of course, artillery was the mainstay, and all tactics had to be planned around artillery, and he knew the importance of firepower with his modern soldier's thinking. However, Zhang Yuncheng's consciousness is still based on cold weapon fighting, only when artillery is an auxiliary weapon, he believes that the final battle solution still depends on face-to-face knife and gun fighting to determine the winner or loser.

This is exactly the same attitude that the world had towards him when the tank was first invented, and this is the power of tradition. Whenever a new concept is proposed, the resistance is often unimaginable to others.

Moreover, Yue Xiang's plan to move artillery to the city also has practical difficulties, and it turns out that there are hundreds of large and small firearms in Qinghe City, including tiger squat cannons, extermination cannons, Weiyuan cannons, large and small generals, Fran machines, and bowl guns, and if you add the three-eyed guns and bird guns held by individual soldiers, the total number exceeds 1,000. If they are all moved to the city, once thousands of cannons fire a salvo, that kind of powerful recoil will probably not be able to stand the current Qinghe city wall.

You must know that these artillery pieces at this moment are primitive guys, except for a few general cannons and big Buddha Lang machines have gun mounts, the others are directly put on the ground to fire, at this time the red-coat cannon has not been introduced, the gunner only relies on experience and intuition, without special aiming equipment, if it is erected on the city wall, the city wall will become a direct force surface.

The city wall of Qinghe is smashed out of rammed earth inside, and then wrapped with a layer of adobe bricks on the outside, which is the product of the Chenghua period, and has a history of nearly 100 years. Although it seems to be strong now, no one dares to guarantee that it will not suddenly collapse in the case of continuous artillery fire.

If the walls fall, there will be no need to fight this battle.

Another reason seems ridiculous, but it is more realistic, for the sake of safety.

It turns out that the performance of these guns is uneven, the casting process is good and good, and the level of the gunner is not the same, in case of bad play, it is very easy to blow up. Moreover, the superstitious thinking of the gunners is serious, and there are regulations to sacrifice the cannon god first when the cannon is lit, saying that the cannon god is powerful and has the wind of cannons. After ignition, it is necessary to withdraw a foot away to show respect to the cannon god, if there is a person who does not retreat is touched by the cannon wind, the cannon god will destroy the cannon and explode the chamber when he is angry.

Later, this taboo became a common rule, and the gunpowder shells were placed far away, and everyone had to retreat a foot away after the ignition, so that in case of explosion, no one would be hurt.

The area outside the city is vast, and the area above the city is small, and the cannons must be arranged closely, and there is nowhere to retreat after lighting the fire except to jump down. Moreover, gunpowder shells can only be placed aside, in case of explosion or gunpowder splashed by sparks, it is very easy to cause a big accident, and the gunner is afraid, and there are many rules, so naturally he does not dare to go to the city to fight.

And the generals generally believe in this set, that is, there is a special chapter in Qi Jiguang's military book that discusses the fierce fortune of the time, which is similar to the imperial calendar, not to mention the big-headed soldiers from the general peasantry.

Yue Xiang really felt that he had nothing to say, and felt that it was probably in vain to spend half a day foaming with Zhang Yuncheng. This is the concept of people, now this kind of trick can be dealt with, and when it can't be dealt with, it will find a way to find a new way. Do not seek merit but seek no fault, no long-term vision.

In the context of this great era, it is too difficult to change certain concepts that have been passed down for generations on the basis of individual strength. People have been fighting like this for more than 200 years, although there is no great merit or great fault, and now you jump out and say that you can win the battle with my method, and the method is dangerous and unfamiliar to others, why should people believe you?

But they don't know that the opponent they are about to face is also an emerging force, and they can't deal with them without some new tricks. It's a pity that none of them realize this now.

However, Yue Xiang did not give up, and Zhang Yuncheng was just that. Zou Chuxian has really been on the battlefield, and I heard that he also went to Korea to fight a fierce general of small Japan, so he should have more experience in this kind of actual combat. The city wall can be repaired and strengthened if it is not knotted, which is a matter of life.

He thought about it while walking towards the yamen, but halfway through, he suddenly saw Li Shoucai running over in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "Master...... Oh no, something happened, go back and take a look! ”

After listening to Li Shoucai, Yue Xiang and the others suddenly turned blue with anger, and they hurried home in great strides.

When he returned home, he saw a large crowd of people gathered at the door, none other than his subordinates. And the number has decreased a lot compared to the original, and everyone is full of sadness and dejectedness. Seeing Yue Xiang coming, his spirit was slightly shocked, and he hurriedly surrounded him. Ma Sandao stepped forward and said, "Master, there were many elders from the clan just now, and they called the young descendants back. The old man said that he was going to dismiss us, and there would be no monthly rations for us in the future, so how could this be good. ”

"Don't worry, it's not like that! Where there is food for me, there is food for you! Yue Xiang thought to himself that this old guy really got in touch with me, this trick is not bad, do you think I don't dare to turn my face with your "father"? Calling you dad is to give you face, Lao Tzu's father is still alive and well in the 21st century hundreds of years later!

Yue Xiang went up to the door and slapped the door hard, the door was closed, but someone behind the door replied: "Who?" "Listen to the voice is Uncle Biao.

"Me! Hurry up and open the door! Yue Xiang didn't come out as soon as he heard his unhurried tone, and when he asked himself, he must have been the hand of this old thing when he was "before" the house-to-house method. "Who told you to close the door! Hurry up and open the door for me! ”

"Oh, it's the second young master...... Uncle Biao's annoying voice was full of disdain and sarcasm, "I'm sorry, the master ordered him to come down and close the door for ten days, unless he ordered, no one was allowed to open the door, otherwise the family law will serve." I can't afford this old bone to be a family law, and I ask the second young master to forgive me. Uncle Biao deliberately accentuated his tone when talking about family law, which was full of irony.

"What! I'm not going to let you in?! Yue Xiang was furious.

"The old man specially ordered, and no one was allowed to enter. Even the emperor Lao Tzu was not allowed to enter. Otherwise, the young master waited outside, and the little old man went to report to the master, and said that the young master was going home, and the master would let him open the door. Uncle Biao's voice was smug, and Yue Xiang could imagine the kind of wicked smile on his obscene old face.

Yue Xiang's face tightened, and the green tendons on his head were about to jump up. It was precisely because of the existence of such people and this kind of thinking that China was repeatedly bullied and oppressed by foreign countries in those years, and it was so easy for the little Japanese devils to enter China, and so many people became obedient to the people.

He turned back and said to the crowd again, "No one is afraid! I repeat, where there is mine, there are yours! If anyone dares to go, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people in the future! ”

There were few applicants, and the atmosphere was very awkward. Everyone looked left and right, not believing that Yue Xiang could win in this confrontation, and it was impossible for his son to disobey his father at any time, not to mention Yue Xiang, a talented man who read sage books and understood the principles of sages. That is, Yue Xiang, the first hero of Qinghe and the prestige of the hero who fought the tiger, is here, and everyone can still wait here with a glimmer of hope.

After about ten minutes, Yue Xiang was about to get impatient, and was about to continue slamming the door when Uncle Biao's voice came again.

"Second young master, the master has ordered, when will you admit your mistake and accept the family law, and when will you let you in. All the family members you recruited were dismissed, and the family had no money or food to support these idlers. ”

“…… That's it. ”

"That's it."

When everyone heard this, there was a commotion, and now that people have even said this, what does it mean to stay here? More than 200 people looked uncertain one by one, and they all looked at Yue Xiang. Many people came to make friends and take refuge in Yue Xiang's reputation, if Yue Xiang relented at this time, everyone would probably disperse soon.

Yue Xiang's reaction was even simpler, and after listening to him, he raised his foot and slammed it at the door.

He doesn't care what others think, what time is it? If you can't get along with Lao Tzu, it doesn't matter if the emperor comes. The whole door frame trembled with this kick, and the two-inch-thick door panel of the door was kicked and cracked.

This shocked everyone's eyes. First, I felt that my heart was hot, and I felt that Yue Xiang was interesting enough, and he turned his face for himself as an outsider and a family member. The second was that he was amazed at the amazing strength of his force, and the thick hardwood board couldn't help but kick him.

Yue Xiang himself was also taken aback, he didn't expect his strength to be so great. The physical fitness of practicing martial arts since childhood is different, no wonder you have the courage to fight tigers and hunt bears. He already knew what kind of martial arts he had practiced, and it seemed that he had been instructed by a master outside the world, and he had practiced qigong and light gong both internally and externally, but it was the first time he had used such power with his own hands.

Who dares to say that Chinese martial arts are not practical? Then he hasn't seen real kung fu. Yue Xiang understands very well that what he has now is real kung fu.

Uncle Biao was obviously frightened by this kick inside, and shouted in panic: "Second young master, don't make a mistake." Why are you going to tear down the gates? Don't forget that this is your house, and no one will pay for it! Don't listen to what the master commands, you have to make trouble before you are willing to give up? Then the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, and it was obvious that some of the subordinates were alarmed by the sound just now, and ran to see the excitement.

"If you don't make a fuss, I won't make a fuss!" Yue Xiang sneered, took a few steps back, ran forward, jumped up more than two meters high with his toes on the ground, kicked the wall with his feet, and turned over lightly like a swallow. The moment his body took off, he thought of Jordan the Flyer, and it was no problem to go to the Olympics and win medals with his current skills.

The people in the courtyard all heard about the fact that Second Young Master Yue went crazy and talked back to the old man today, and the old man could be said to be really angry this time. originally thought that Yue Xiang would be treated and confessed, in the end, the son is the son, and the father is the son's heaven. Unexpectedly, Yue Xiang openly smashed the door and climbed over the wall, seeing that this means that he still refuses to give up, this is no different from rebellion.

Uncle Biao was behind the door, but when he saw Yue Xiang jumping off the wall next to him, his face was not good, and he was immediately startled. He has lived for decades and has never seen his son disobey Lao Tzu so much, it is simply not something that a blood relative can do.

"Second Young Master, don't come nonsense. Could it be that you want to destroy the Yue family to be satisfied? ”

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way! At this point, the national crisis is at hand, and if it is a man, he should come forward. I ruined the Yue family, joke! Let's see who ruined the Yue family in the end! Jianzhou rebels killed and plundered Liaodong, if they didn't stand up to resist the enemy, there was only a dead end, even if there was a way to live, it was just a cow and a horse for the Tartars, and it was better to live like this. My father is so ignorant of what's at stake, listening to him is ruining the Yue family. I decided to pull up a team to serve the court today, and whoever dares to stop me don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Yue Xiang strode to the door, but saw that there was an iron chain on the latch, no wonder he didn't kick the door open when he kicked the door panel just now. He raised his hand to tie him down, and Uncle Biao came up to pull him, and he was impatient to push him to the side. A hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

"Who!" Yue Xiang was furious, no matter how he said that he was also the second young master, was there anyone in this family who dared to do anything with him? He shook his hand to break free, and when he turned around, he noticed that the figure around him flashed, and a young junior dodged in front of the door.

"You! Yue Qi, what are you doing?! Are you tired of it? The person standing in front of him was a young young student with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, about the same age as Yue Xiang, and his appearance was quite handsome, it was Uncle Biao's son Yue Qi.

This person grew up in the father-in-law's house since he was a child, he looks good and can be pleasing to people, he is very close to his eldest brother, good at drilling camps, and later he was accepted by his aunt as a godson, this person has also practiced boxing and kicking for a few days, and he was responsible for the family in charge of the family, and then Yue Xiang pulled out a group of people to put him in the air.

"Second Young Master, if you continue to make trouble like this, you will only be the one who will suffer. You are a scholar, and you know what the crime of disobedience is in our Ming Law. I advise you to listen to the old man's words and obediently admit your mistakes and accept the family law, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind, and the little ones will be offended. ”

"Okay, I don't see that your kid is not small, why do you still want to do it with me?" Yue Xiang had long known that Yue Qi had always been unconvinced by him, but he couldn't come to him clearly because of his identity. Now that I have this opportunity, it seems that I want to use the question to show my arrogance to kill him.

Yue Qi's eyes were full of excitement, he had long wanted to compete with Yue Xiang.

He felt that his talent was outstanding, so why should he be a slave to others for the rest of his life. He speculated in the camp, successfully let Yue Yuan's wife accept him as his godson, and secretly seduced Yue Xiang's sister-in-law to commit adultery and cheating, just to prepare for climbing up step by step.

Moreover, such a big family business of the Yue family also made him red, and he secretly vowed that one day he would take all the property of the Yue family into his pocket. Now the life and death of the boss is unknown, the second child is making trouble again, the old man is angry and bedridden, and the Jianzhou Tartars outside are making trouble all over the city, maybe this is an opportunity for him to take advantage of the chaos.

He understands the secret mission he is carrying, and he is seeking wealth and danger. As long as you succeed, glory and wealth are at your fingertips.

The only obstacle was this Yue Xiang, who he had always regarded as a simple-minded and well-limbed prodigal. Although Yue Xiang has always been superior in force, Yue Qi does not feel that he is inferior to him, and he himself has a magic weapon that can defeat the enemy.

You dare to beat my father, why don't I dare to beat you? He secretly hated in his heart, but his face was solemn: "I am acting on the orders of the master." The master said that if you don't admit your mistake, you will be removed from the clan. This is a public petition jointly written by the elders of the clan, don't believe it. ”

Yue Xiang was stunned for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Take it for me." ”

Yue Qi sneered in his heart, calmly put his hand into his arms, and slammed it out. But almost at the same time, he felt a flower in front of him, and without reacting, a fist hung with strong wind and smashed his face like a discharged meteor cannonball, this punch was so black that it flattened his whole face, and his nosebleed wildly and he slammed into the door, spit out two front teeth, and then fell to the ground and fainted.

The whole process takes no more than two seconds.

Yue Xiang withdrew his fist and said with a sneer: "I know that you have long wanted to do something with me, in fact, I have long wanted to teach you a lesson." Playing with me is a trick of the rivers and lakes, you are still a little tender. The next time you remember to lie, look my eyes in the eye and don't look away. ”

After speaking, he picked his hand away with his foot, and he stretched into his arms and pinched a colorful handkerchief, which was a smoke prop commonly used by people in the middle and lower five gates of the rivers and lakes to pick flowers.

"I don't want to think about who is in my family, but I also take out the leftovers of my play and show them in the world." Yue Xiang stretched out his hand to remove the latch and shouted loudly to the people outside: "Enter the door, open the meal!" ”…………
