99. The Thief of Skyfire Town

If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed. This is wrong, so I won't make this mistake, and I believe that Liu Jianchun, who has a plan, won't either.

In the most dense place where the enemy was concentrated, the Jurchen commander Dumantu tried his best to restrain his troops and marched in the direction of Gule Village. But who could hear his cry under the hillside before dawn, where people were crowded and horses were crowded?

In desperation, Dumantu drew his scimitar and killed two soldiers who did not obey the command! The people around immediately fled, and as a result, with him as the center, the crowd around was even more intense!

However, because there was a little space around him, Dumanto was able to look around, and suddenly, he noticed that something seemed to be flying down the hillside! That's not a bow and arrow!

However, just two seconds later, those things smashed Dumantu's side! Dumantu was hit all over the body, and one of them was on fire!

He was immediately knocked to the ground by a heavy object on horseback, and immediately fell to the ground, but before he could get up, another wave struck......

I watched from the top of the hill, and oh, it was our scattered flower trebuchet that came out! A few days ago, when I saw the topographic map of the battlefield, I suddenly remembered a big killer weapon - the scattered flower trebuchet!

This was inspired by an ancient game, Age of Empires 2, and the obsession with this game at the time was almost insane.

I remember one time, I played online with a few friends, three against five, and the map was long. The two sides are divided in half by a long river, facing each other across the river.

After losing the right to control the sea, nay, the river, my two companions and I resolutely adopted the method of attrition and started a tug-of-war with the other five people. Theoretically, there are the same amount of resources on the maps on both sides, and all the three of us need to do is do more.

At that time, I built a large number of scattered catapults, which did not have the range and power of the cannons and folding trebuchets, but they had one of the greatest advantages - a wide range of attacks, and - no distinction between friend and foe!

I remember that my companions and I burst out a large number of pikemen and scout cavalry who only consumed food, and when the enemy army landed along the shallows, we resolutely rushed forward and mingled with the Persian war elephants, Byzantine warriors and other high-ranking troops of the opposing side!

Then, send out our scattered flower trebuchets to shoot the enemy's resource-consuming high-level troops, along with our food-consuming junk soldiers, to death on the beach......

High means high consumption, so despite the cruelty, it is a 9-sure deal.

I remember that the beach that was consumed by the battle was covered with the corpses of the enemy and our army, refreshed and covered again; Spread and refreshed. The battle lasted for seven hours, and by the end of the battle, even the trees on the two continents had been cut down! There is nothing left but buildings......

So this mass murder weapon left a very deep impression on my heart. A few days ago, I made a sketch and asked Halleha to see if it would work. When he saw this, his face changed slightly, but remembering that he had sworn allegiance to me, he sighed and changed a few more places.

I was satisfied with his performance, so I sent the whole army out to cut down and make wood. This thing is actually very crude, all it takes is a rack, a lever, plus a bucket, a rope.

At noon the next day, the first scattered flower trebuchet was built! Twenty people work together to pull the rope, and the range can reach two hundred and fifty steps! Take advantage of the terrain to be condescending, and you can even reach four hundred steps! And the stones thrown can cover almost half the size of a basketball court!

That's what I want! I've checked the eyes! So the army began to mass-produce this mass killing weapon in a state of excitement! By last night, forty-nine had been built! Except for one of them, which fell off the cliff and fell apart while going up the mountain, the other forty-eight went up to the top of the mountain intact!

At this time, these forty-eight scattered flower trebuchets are roaring! Roaring! Throw countless stone projectiles at Akaibu! I asked the soldiers to collect the stones and make some additional additions!

For example, the pepper flour wrap, and for example, the lime pack, * pack!

When the enemy's scattered bags met the fire of archers and infantry, the foot of the mountain became another sea of fire echoing with Gule Village for a while!

This fear makes Ah Hai Urchin cold! No thing has ever slaughtered its own people like this, not even artillery! But...... These Ming Dynasty people clearly have such things! They must be messengers of the devil! Definitely!

Ah Hai began to command the army, trying to get rid of the entanglement and march towards Gule Village! But objectively speaking, their march route is completely covered by the range of our scattered flower trebuchets!

Therefore, if everyone wants to rush through the shooting area of these few miles, they must first think about whether they have washed their faces before going out today.

So, the white face rushed over with injuries! His face is black, and stones, lime, *, trampling, bows and arrows, and spears, one of them will always favor him.

The path down the mountain has become a complete road of death, and a thin river of blood has flowed down the valley mouth!

Ah Hai's heart is bleeding! There is no value to consume, no! It is a waste of troops, and it is a crime for the Jurchens, whose population is already thin!

So, between preserving his strength and saving his allies, Ah Hai made the right choice!

Akaibe began to leave the mountain road and maneuver in my direction, towards the hills to the north, trying to get out of range of the scattered flower trebuchet and the bows, muskets, and tiger squat cannons!

And they did! By the time they were halfway up the hill, the opposite hill stopped shooting!

The reason is very simple, the cavalry led by me, like a tiger descending from the mountain, began to charge the whole army from top to bottom!

Our cavalry no longer charged in the same conical shape as before, because there was no need at all, and this time they did not even want to rush back - they rushed downhill, but they went uphill when they rushed back. We're not stupid.

So, our cavalry is like ...... Well...... Everyone knows that to clean windows during the Chinese New Year, use the kind of window cleaner with two sides! Our rush, as if we were scraping it off with that thing, suddenly scraped a clean open space from the middle of the Ahai Division!

And this one is not just scraped, at the top of the mountain, I determined the location of Ah Hai through a telescope - very simply, he is the one with the most guards and the most dense torches!

So this scrape scraped off the soul of Ahai - the chief Ahai!

On the way to the valley, we didn't care to see this scene like hell on earth, but turned our horse's head and charged in the direction of Mangzi Village!

It will take time for tens of thousands of enemy troops to pour out of the walled gate, which can only accommodate five horses in parallel! Now that the brigade has come out, there are still about 10,000 cavalry left in the stockade!

I glanced at the hill and knew that the unplanned thing could not be reported with much hope, but I still hoped for a miracle! I hope that Liu Jianchun can be blessed!

I don't know which way the gods heard my call, and the scattered flower trebuchet on the top of the mountain began to exert its power again!

This time, the target is the gate of Mangzi Village!

When scattered bombs start to ignite, it means disaster!

About 10,000 enemy troops in Mangzi Village were just about to go out, but dozens of people at the gate were smashed into mud by dense stones!

The back was suddenly frightened and began to retreat, so the gate of Mangzi Village became a population gathering area again!

Artillery fire is covered again! These Jurchens really met love around the corner, and they were all moved to tears, but they could only retreat again, dodging the slaughter of the scattered flower trebuchets!

The Jurchens who had already gone up the mountain saw that their companions were divided, and although the commander was dead, there were still a few brave commanders who tried to return to the army to rescue, but they were dispersed by the muskets, bows and arrows and tiger squat cannons under Liu Jianchun on the opposite mountain!

The Jurchens on the mountain retreated, and the remnants of the stockade were completely desperate! At this time, the moat that they used to defend became a talisman that they had to accept, and a death declaration that judged them!

Shooting several Jurchen deserters who tried to escape by swimming, the Jurchens in the stockade gave up their last resistance and raised the white flag.

Liu Jianchun urged the horse to rush to my side, I knew what he was here for. So he was silent, waiting for him to speak.

Liu Jianchun looked at the white flag in the village and asked me, "Qilan, how to deal with this?"

I looked at the white flag thoughtfully, Liu Jianchun waited for a while, and when he saw that I didn't speak, he said again: "The enemy has asked to surrender, and it is unrighteous to kill!"

I nodded and smiled at Liu Jianchun: "It is indeed unrighteous to kill him. For my sake, don't kill him! ”

Liu Jianchun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Why don't you send them back to Jinzhou and think about it again!"

I looked at Liu Jianchun with a smile and asked, "You mean...... Escorting 10,000 captives for hundreds of miles? ”

Liu Jianchun also looked embarrassed, escorting 10,000 military prisoners, 20,000 people need to be strictly guarded, otherwise problems will easily occur. So he frowned and asked me, "What do you say Qilan?"

I looked at the gate of Mangzi Village and came out for a while. What I want to do is to consume their living strength, but this kind of treatment is really inappropriate. Moreover, even if you kill these people, it will only be a loss of a little vitality, and what I want is that they are afraid! Let them be afraid!

So I said lightly: "If you want to live, you have to choose for themselves!"

I stared at Liu Jianchun and said slowly: "Either die!" Either ......"

I said word by word: "Cut off your right arm first!" Leave again! ”

Liu Jianchun exclaimed: "Wouldn't it be too ruthless?"

I squinted at him and smiled, "General Liu, have you ever seen the cities and villages they plundered?"

Liu Jianchun was silent.

I snorted and said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." This is the principle of heaven! ”

Liu Jianchun nodded, and finally asked, "Qilan, aren't you afraid that future generations will say that you are murderous?"

I raised my head, looked at the sky and said, "Later generations have commented that it is better than a glass of wine in front of me and a floating cloud in the sky."

As I spoke, I smiled, looked at the gate of Mangzizhai and said, "It's better to be afraid than to be bullied!"

Then he exhaled and said in a deep voice: "I'd rather the Jurchens, or some other people, grit their teeth and tremble when they think of me again, rather than they purse their lips and disdain."

As he spoke, he turned over and got on his horse, pointed at Mangzizhai with a horsewhip and said, "Be my enemy, this is their fate!"

After speaking, the horse's belly was clamped, and the horse galloped. I led the cavalry to pursue the fleeing enemy, leaving only the sluggish Liu Jianchun, silently chewing on what I had just said.
