Chapter 188: The Leader of the Rebel Army
Zhao Rui looked up and saw the stout body of the leader like an iron bucket, hanging chain mail, holding a long-handled big knife, and the horses under his crotch looked even shorter than the person on the horse, the most special thing was that this strong man's bronze face had a hideous tattoo pattern, coupled with his round bull's eyes, which was even more shocking!
"Oh no, this is 'Saiyama'! The strongest warrior in Dali! ”
Ruan Jinkai also saw the person clearly at this time, and his words were timid, obviously recognizing that this was a character who was not easy to mess with.
The cavalry on the opposite side was also observing Zhao Rui's side, and saw a lot of people wearing Song Dynasty clothes, and saw the black iron pipes, even the general known as 'Sai Yan Luo' couldn't help but hesitate.
At the beginning, Zhao Rui destroyed the Yuan army and the Dali army in Guangyuan Prefecture, such a record has already spread, and the generals of Dali also know that there is a musket unit in the south, and the commander is a prince of the Song Dynasty.
Under the fear, the Dali army did not attack at the first time, but stood on a high place to confront each other.
Zhao Rui suddenly thought of **, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that there was not much left of the lead, and hurriedly shouted for everyone to retreat!
The three thousand people on Zhao Rui's side knew the power of **, and seeing that **bag was more than ten ** sizes, they knew that they were afraid, and they quickly retreated when they heard the shouts, and the Jiaozhi soldiers were afraid of the attack of the Dali people, and ran while looking back.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing such a scene, Sai Yanluo couldn't help laughing and said, "I thought that the musketeers of the Song Dynasty were so powerful, but it turned out that they were not a group of cowards who were scattered by birds and beasts?" ”
The little soldier on the side also complimented: "Yes, General, who doesn't know that you are famous for Saiyan Luowei, and it scares them!" ”
"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Whoa......"
Zhao Rui's side heard the explosion and stopped to look back.
I saw a large piece of coal spewed out from the coal mine at the foot of the mountain, the slope above had no support, the soil layer loosened and subsided, and the ground collapsed in an instant.
Zhao Rui smacked his tongue secretly, this is the height of a five-story building, people and horses have to fall to death......
"Poof, poof......" There was a constant sound of hitting the ground, and sure enough, if it fell, it wouldn't move again.
No, there's still a living one!
Zhao Rui looked at it, it was the guy with the tattoo on his face, he was in the forefront, probably fell with the collapse of the rocks, and there was a buffer of mud and rocks to avoid death.
I saw that his face was full of pain, as if his body was injured somewhere, and the earth and rocks behind him were still collapsing, and he was gritting his teeth and trying to get up and escape from this area.
** It was buried by himself, these people suddenly appeared and encountered an unwarranted disaster, Zhao Rui felt a little guilty in his heart, although he came to drive away the Dali people, but after all, there was no conflict, and it can be regarded as no injustice and no revenge, since this is the case, it is better to save him quickly.
"Zhao Gong!"
"Young Master, what orders!" Zhao Gong heard the call and hurriedly ran forward to answer.
Zhao Rui pointed to the injured man, and was just about to speak, when a stone the size of a sandbag rolled down the hillside, and suddenly fell from the sky, and coincidentally, it was smashed on the back of the man's head.
"Bang~"
Zhao Rui couldn't bear to look over, he just saw the back of this person's head blooming, it was really miserable.
The collapse stopped, except for the occasional sound of earth and rock sliding.
Ruan Jinkai stepped forward tremblingly, stepped forward to take a look, and then shouted in surprise: "Saiyan Luo is dead!" Saiyan is dead! ”
"Whew...... Ha ha! ”
The cochin soldiers all let out a burst of cheering laughter.
This Saiyan is simply a nightmare for everyone, they used to have a team of 10,000 people, and many of them died under the sword of Saiyan. Cutting off limbs and breaking intestines has become a nightmare for this ** soldier! Fortunately, the culprit is dead, and everyone has a sense of relief.
Zhao Rui shook his head helplessly, thinking that it was just an ordinary bombing of coal mines, who knew that a group of Dali soldiers had been exterminated, and this group of soldiers was strong and strong, and it was estimated that Dali would not give up.
Zhao Rui really doesn't have any idea of occupying Dali, and at present, his own forces can't occupy such a large area, whether it's ammunition, supplies or troops, they can't keep up.
So Zhao Rui originally just thought that it would be enough to be able to drive it away, but now he wants to exterminate them all like this, which is really unexpected.
Lest the corpses decompose and cause a plague, the Cochin soldiers dragged the corpses of these horses aside and buried them.
Zhao Rui was shoveling coal with a shovel and putting it in a bamboo basket.
Looking at the explosion is still good, many coal mines have been blown out and sprayed far away, although the mountain collapse has been buried, but after all, it is a vertical collapse, and the buried ones are still a minority.
Zhao Rui thought, wait for the next time to bury ** deeper, maybe you can achieve better results.
Thinking that the Dali people might retaliate soon, Zhao Rui increased the patrol manpower, but a few days passed, and half of the Dali people did not appear.
Because of the use of **, Zhao Rui's collection volume far exceeded the output of 8,000 people in Jiaozhi. Because of the excessive production, Zhao Rui hired a lot of Jiaozhi civilians from Pernole Prefecture to help, and also purchased a lot of grain and livestock nearby.
Zhao Rui gave enough wages, took care of food, and occasionally ate meat for the civilians of Jiaozhi, so everyone worked very hard, and the entire mining area was in full swing.
In fact, it's not that the people of Dali don't want to retaliate, but Saiyan Luo is already the best general, and he is very famous in the entire Dali country, and now that he is dead, who would dare to rashly lead the army to attack?
Zhao Rui was mining coal without distractions, but he didn't know that he had inadvertently helped others.
Seven years ago, the people of all ethnic groups in the central and eastern parts of Dali led by Sheliwei launched a vigorous anti-Yuan uprising, and most of the rebels were the Bai, Yi and other ethnic groups in central and eastern Yunnan who could not bear the cruel rule and national oppression of the Mongolian aristocratic rulers, and the number of righteous people who raised up at that time reached 300,000!
The rebel army led by Sheliwei was unstoppable, killing the Mongol defenders in various places, and successively captured the cities of Shanxi, Tongya, Weichu, Xinxing, Shicheng and Xundian County.
Soon, the Mongolian aristocratic rulers entangled the local armed forces of the descendants of the Duan clan, the former lord of Dali in the Song Dynasty, and carried out a frenzied suppression of the righteous army.
Among them, there is a general with great achievements, who is known as Duan Kaishan, the general known as Saiyanluo, and it can also be said that his success is paved by countless corpses of the rebels.
At that time, among the rebels, when the name of Saiyan Luo was mentioned, everyone trembled, and no one dared to compete with it.
With most of the rebels annihilated, the uprising ended in failure, but the leader Sherwi did not die, he was hiding in the uninhabited mountains, planning the next battle of resistance.
The defeat many years ago caused Sariwei to wake up in his sleep, and each time it was the tattooed face of Saiyama, which became his nightmare.
But the rule of the Yuan Dynasty treats people as pigs and dogs, and resistance still has to be resisted, and Sheliwei knows that there are still thousands of people in Dali who are suffering from inhuman oppression, waiting for their own rescue.
The news from his subordinates today made Sariwei jump off his seat in surprise.
"Saiyan is dead? Are you saying that Duan Kaishan is dead? ”
There were seven or eight people sitting in the room, all of whom were the generals of the original rebel army, and now they heard the news, they were all the same joy and rejoicing.
The person who reported the news was conclusive, nodded and said solemnly: "The news is true, now among the traitors of the Duan clan, they are clamoring to nominate candidates to recruit the musketeers of the Song Dynasty!" ”
"Great!"
Seriwei swung his right fist fiercely, forced himself to calm down, and said to everyone: "All parties are ready, it's time to conquer the traitors of the Tartars and the Duan clan!" ”
Since the Duan clan accepted the hereditary governor of the Yuan Dynasty, he has become a role in aiding and abusive, and his reputation among the people is extremely poor, and he is naturally called a traitor by the rebels.
"However, I want to meet the ...... of the musketeers of the Song Dynasty first."
Sariwei faced southeast, with an extremely yearning look on his face......
Dali's side quarreled back and forth, and finally handed over the task of attacking to the Ayue Department, and at the same time ordered the adjacent Shezi Department, the Yulong Mountain Department and the Jiaohe Department to send troops to cooperate.
The reason is, who brought you near!
Although Ah Yuebu was extremely reluctant, the military order was like a mountain, and he could only prepare troops to prepare for the attack, and then the troops of the remaining three troops arrived, forming a crusade team of more than 10,000 people and marching towards the coal area.
Zhao Rui is not a character who sits still, since Dali has reserved so much time for him, he also made arrangements early.
Before, he was addicted to digging gold mines with the Yuan army, and Zhao Rui was also ready to capture some people alive to work for himself.
After figuring out the mountain road, Zhao Rui ordered Zhao Gong and others to bury ** at the mouth of a valley that Dali people must pass through.
But Zhao Rui waited left and right, and waited for a righteous general to come to visit.
The person in front of him was called Sheliwei, and he came on horseback from the mountains in the west with two of his men, and Zhao Rui was entertained in the pergola on the edge of the coal yard because he was supervising the work in the coal yard.
During the tea, the three of them were looking at Zhao Rui and his subordinates, and similarly, Zhao Rui was also looking at the relics.
Sheliwei is nearly forty years old, tall and healthy, with a straight nose and a square mouth, a majestic appearance, and quite a good temperament, especially his eyebrows are open, with a compassionate bearing.
Zhao Rui sighed secretly, but it was not surprising that he became the commander of the rebel army with this appearance.
The three of them looked at Zhao Rui, Zhao Gong, Aruna and Xiaoyi, leaving aside the two women, just talking about Zhao Rui and Zhao Gong, they were too young.
Zhao Rui is only two decades old, and the young general named Zhao Gong actually looks less than eighteen, and he has dark skin, so he really doesn't have any appearance.
Just looking at the face, it can't help but make Sariwei feel a little contemptible. But he still wanted to borrow Zhao Rui's troops, so his attitude was still more sincere.
After a few pleasantries, Sariwei got to the point.
"Lord Wang, I heard that you killed the murderer Sai Yanluo, our army was thrilled when they heard it, such a wicked person can be killed, and it is also a blessing for thousands of people in Dali! I wonder if the prince can tell me about the situation at that time, how did you kill Saiyama? ”
