Chapter 262: Like a Mountain 7
The defensive line of the army still stands as majestically as a mountain. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang He looked down the mountain with a satisfied look on his face.
Now the gunners are fighting, and they are also settled, firing at a distance of fifty paces (seventy-five meters), followed by two rows in front and behind, and then loading. At intervals of ten seconds, the enemy rushed to about thirty paces (forty-five meters) and opened fire again, followed by two more rows in front and behind.
With the reloading speed of the new Angun, the front and rear rows are next to each other, and the ten seconds of refill time is sufficient, and you can also aim carefully and listen to the order.
At this time, the speed of the foot charge is generally two or three steps per second, and every ten seconds, the enemy rushes to ten paces and then hits two rows, and six rows in front and back.
In fact, because of various obstacles such as fear and corpses, when firing the third salvo, you can shoot at about fifteen paces.
And the ferocity of the platoon was beaten six rows before and after, and no one in this world could stand it, whether it was the East or the West.
The West lined up to shoot at most, and they only endured three platoons at most, they shot at a distance of 50 meters, about 33 paces, and the three platoons were finished.
At this distance, people walk slowly, walk for more than 40 seconds, charge, and rush to it in more than 10 seconds. And the breech gun is not easy to load, and the most elite gunners load it in a minute. Ordinary gunners, it takes two minutes, and there is no time to play the second round.
Therefore, at this time, people's endurance is basically three rows, regardless of the Qing soldiers and red shrimp soldiers, who are beaten with six rows of guns, they have to howl and flee.
Not to mention the thieves, they have survived until now, and they can only be said to be stunned and unexpected.
However, Yang He's tactics are not fixed, if the opposite side walks slowly, he can also shoot slowly when he takes a hundred steps.
Seeing that the thieves collapsed on all fronts, and howled down the mountain in a panic, Yang He naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and he ordered the ninth master to let Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan lead about fifty horsemen to attack.
He also saw that the horsemen were eager to try, especially Liu Qilang, who seemed to want to fight very much, but he also strictly obeyed the order, he had no order, he was still quiet.
Yang He naturally attaches great importance to Liu Qilang's team, this is the only iron cavalry in the cavalry team that can be regular and brave to charge into battle, and because of this, good steel must be used on the blade.
Although the first wave of thieves attacking the mountain broke and fled, the large array of thieves 200 steps away from the official road still did not move, and there were more soaring elite horses galloping around, so the fifty cavalry chased and killed only to show their ability to attack, giving the thieves psychological pressure, and it is difficult to say the big results.
If there is a proper opportunity, Yang He will let Liu Qilang's iron cavalry attack.
"Kill the thief!"
Qian Sanniang led the cavalry of the 25th cavalry, and Li Ruwan led the 25th cavalry cottage heroes, and Tengteng jumped his horse and rushed down the mountain.
Fifty horsemen burst out of the gap in the east, and soon only one piece of black cloak flew away. The heroes in Li Ruwan's village did not have the iron-inlaid cotton armor of the cavalry team for the time being, but they decided to join, and the gray felt and black cloak were still available.
In addition, the handles of these sabers are wrapped in red silk, and when they wave their knives, they have a murderous and neat momentum.
"Kill!"
The sound of hooves roared, stirring up large clouds of dust, and they rushed down the hill with great vigour, and soon caught up with the fleeing thieves. Knives were chopped, horses were trampled, rampaged, trampled, bloody heads were constantly raised, and the fleeing thieves were screaming desperately, desperately running forward.
Among them were some "rangers" who conveyed information, behind the wave of charges, and on the other side of the official road, mostly archers, and the last elite cavalry to supervise the battle.
At this time, the tide of rout and escape surged in, and they were instantly submerged, no matter how they shouted and scolded, it was useless, and finally they were helplessly coerced, forming a vast and amazing wave of rout.
Yang He looked forward to looking over there, if these defeated soldiers could impulse their Chinese army's big array, he would not hesitate to throw in all the cavalry, ironclad soldiers, and even the cold soldiers.
But then look at the side of the rogue Chinese army, their unfought infantry, horsemen, and elite horsemen, all of them lined up with bows and arrows, swords, shields, and spears, and just ordered the routs to stop, or let them go around the wings, otherwise they would be killed.
On the side of the position where the banner of the word "Zhang" was fluttering, there were only a few shouts, and then there was a rain of arrows, and all the defeated soldiers who dared to storm the position were shot on the spot without hesitation.
It's brutal and decisive.
"Offering thieves."
Looking at the "Zhang" banners over there, there were many people on the mountain, and Yang He's eyes were cold.
Countless historical materials poured into my mind.
Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king of thieves, is the same as Li Zicheng, and he is another evil animal.
Li Ziyuan was a post soldier, and was dismissed due to the loss of official documents, and killed the creditor Ai Zhao, and then killed his wife Han Jin'er, who had an affair with others. With two lives on his side, he went to the border town with his nephew Li Guo to join the army and was promoted to the general of the army. In the same year, the soldiers became thieves and were out of control.
Zhang Xianzhong, who was arrested quickly for Yan'an Mansion, was dismissed because of the incident, so he went to Yansui Town to join the army, and he should be beheaded if he committed a crime. Because Chen Hongfan pleaded to avoid beheading, he was beaten with 100 military sticks and removed from his name, and he was exiled to the countryside as a thief. Soon from the thief to one of the thirty-six battalions, he called himself the Eight Kings.
Looking at these two people, it has nothing to do with the oppressed people who can't survive, they are Diao people in prosperous times, chaotic people in troubled times, scum and careerists in their bones. It's just that the world is in chaos, giving them a chance to surface.
If Li Zicheng still has one or two bright spots, Zhang Xianzhong is even more completely a scumbag, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty planted the notoriety of Tuchuan on his head, it does not mean that he is a good thing, and he has done the same thing as killing people and slaughtering cities.
In particular, this person is moody, there is no rule for doing things, everything is based on his will, officials are also killed, gentry are killed, people are also killed, women, children and babies are killed, and the killed often die inexplicably, for some reason, a typical villain.
If Yang He is asked to evaluate this person, there are only three words: "Neuropathy." ”
If you want to comment further, it's just eight words: "Crazy neurosis." ”
Especially after entering Sichuan, the people of Sichuan suffered from the harm of the five beetles, and basically welcomed Zhang Xianzhong into Sichuan happily.
However, in just two years, the entire rule was governed by him to anger and resentment, because Zhang Xianzhong did not have any civil affairs tuntian policy, nor did he have any tax policy, and the huge official army expenditure all relied on grain, and he took the grain when he saw it, and killed the pigs when he saw it, so wouldn't the people be resentful?
In the end, the people's hearts were lost, and the people found that this fang was just a thief, and the people of the horses rebelled, Zhang Xianzhong frantically suppressed, and everywhere "eliminated the city", and even the capital, Xijing and Chengdu also sent troops to "suppress and wash".
He ordered that in addition to the families of the officials in the city, "all the residents of the city should be exterminated" in Chengdu, and hundreds of thousands of people, men and women, young and old, women and children, and even infants, were driven to the south gate to be killed.
The people cried and cried, "Long live the king!" The king is the king of us, we are your people, we have not violated the law of the land, why did we kill innocent people? Why are you afraid of the people? We have no weapons, neither soldiers, nor enemies, but law-abiding and good citizens. Beg the king to save his life, and forgive my innocent people. ”
It stands to reason that normal people will have mercy at this time, but Zhang Xianzhong was furious, jumped into the crowd of people, let the horse jump and kick, and roared so that the sergeant was executed quickly.
In the end, hundreds of thousands of people were bloodied and died.
At the beginning, the people of Chengdu hoped to live a good life and happily welcomed Zhang Xianzhong into the city, but in the end, they were all killed by him, and there was not even a single woman or baby left.
Kill all the people in his capital, only Zhang Xianzhong can do this.
In history, the Sichuan massacre was very miserable, thousands of miles of uninhabited, if the biggest murderer was the Qing army, seven people died at their hands. But at least thirty percent of them, either directly or indirectly, died at the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, which is also millions of lives.
Both are scum and brutes!
Yang He also believes that with Zhang Xianzhong's violent suspicions, he may not have the intention of killing all the people in Sichuan, but he just doesn't have the ability.
After his rule, he took possession of most of the Sichuan land from the beginning of the river, and after two years less than a third, the army still had to fight everywhere, and some local officials also refused to slaughter the order, after all, it was too appalling to kill all the people under his rule.
However, under his rule, "the wilderness of the state and county has been slaughtered" is true, and the western Sichuan is the worst, and there are often no living people inside and outside the city.
In addition to being a scumbag, this person is also particularly incompetent, he has 136 battalions, hundreds of thousands of troops, and before the Qing army entered Sichuan, he was so frightened that he burned Chengdu City and fled.
During the escape, there were too many women in the idle battalions, and they couldn't run fast, so they ordered to kill all the women in the army, and took the lead in killing the concubines.
Suspicious and suspicious, worried about the rebellion of the Sichuan soldiers, he ran to the Shunqing realm and ordered to kill all the Sichuan soldiers in the army.
In the end, he ran to the Xichong realm, encountered a sneak attack by five Qing army sentry horses, he was killed by an arrow, and then his 136 battalions, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed on the whole line, and there was no effect at all.
It seems that they tossed around in Sichuan for two years, only to clear the way for the Qing soldiers entering Sichuan.
In the face of the tenacity of the Qing army, the people of Yichuan have resisted stubbornly for 20 years, and it can only be said that those people who mistakenly believed in the Liukou died unjustly.
Yang He looked at that side coldly, his heart fluctuated, the great harm at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatar Liukou, especially Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, rats.
If the Ming Dynasty is about to come to an end after three hundred years of glory, the curtain will come to an end, people have a lifespan, the universe has a lifespan, not to mention the dynasty country? Metabolism and death are also normal.
If the people can't survive, they can naturally rebel and replace them with new groups, but the rebels also have the corresponding responsibility to stabilize order, restore production, and rebuild a glorious civilization.
However, look at Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other things, the so-called Dashun, what kind of goods are in Daxi. The emerging dynasties are full of vigor, if the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Ming civilization is splendid, and the Quartet of Buwu is the Great Song Dynasty, all of them have taken the initiative to go north to recover Yanyun.
Only Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others fled in addition to fleeing, except for the rout is rout, replaced by Ming Taizu to build a new country, Shanhaiguan blocking the enemy is just basic, and attacking Liaodong is also idle, there is no need to resist the Qing Dynasty from Shanhaiguan to Yunnan.
Their biggest role is just to clear the way for the Manchu Qing and make it easier for them to win the world.
In essence, he is a careerist, a cult leader, with foolish people and villains as the backbone, coercing the people who can't survive to plague the world, and finally the lie can't continue and collapse.
Yang He's eyes were cold, and he looked over there fixedly.
Every time I look at history, I always feel that there are too many villains in the late Ming Dynasty, in addition to Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, there are also official and Tatar ones.
Many of them ended up even more dissatisfied, such as Zuo Liangyu, who died of illness and died too easily.
Zhang Xianzhong was killed by an arrow shot by the Qing army. Li Zicheng was stoned to death with a hoe by villagers Cheng Jiubo and Jin Ergou. These people all died cheaply, not to mention Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Dolgon, Duoduo and others.
Yang He made a decision in his heart that in the future, he would deal with these people with the same punishments as Ling Chi, skinning, and beheading the villains.
He will build an exhibition hall and put Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Dolgon, Duoduo and others into it after peeling the skin and grass, and publicize it to the world to set an example.
Of course, now he Yang He is still very weak, and these people are even more difficult to kill, especially Zhang Xianzhong, who can be called a praying mantis, cunning and suspicious.
Yang Sichang once wrote a poem describing Zhang Xianzhong: "Don't be a general, but especially a praying mantis." Going back and forth to Chu and Shu is rampant, and the soldiers and the people are ......"
It means that this person will jump like a praying mantis, and the first sentence of this poem in later generations has been secretly replaced with "Don't be an An An starvation", and the descending will become starving, which makes people feel inexplicable. Because the person who secretly changed it didn't even have basic common sense of the pronunciation of the word card.
But in any case, he Yang He will do everything possible to send these people into the exhibition hall.
……
He looked down the mountain, saw Qian Sanniang, Li Ruwan and the others continued to chase and kill, chased through the official road, and chased them to a hundred steps in front of the big array.
However, at this time, the situation of the thieves calmed down a lot, especially when they reacted, dozens and hundreds of horsemen copied from both wings, and Yang He immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and let Qian Sanniang and others come back, so as not to fall into vain and lose their troops.
Soon, before the thieves and horses closed, Qian Sanniang and the others rushed back to the hillside, and they all rushed back to the market, laughing and laughing. In particular, Qian Sanniang had three or four grinning heads hanging on the saddle, and Li Ruwan was carrying a few, and if she was carrying a taro, she was laughing and saying something to Qian Sanniang.
Looking at the riders behind them, all of them were saddled and had human heads on their hands, which was really bloody and vicious. Han Shangliang, Yan Bin and others were all discolored, and they deeply felt the cruelty under the command of Lord Yang. Not to mention those official mountain sets and the leaders of the leading set.
Yang He shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything, it was a custom at this time to hang people's heads, and the means for soldiers to show their martial arts and bravery, as long as they didn't hang the people's heads.
Soon Qian Sanniang went to the top of the mountain, rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and said loudly with a fist salute: "Subordinate Qian Guse, come back to Yang Xianggong to return to his life." ”
Yang He smiled: "Sanniang has worked hard, continue to make persistent efforts." ”
Qian Sanniang glanced at Yang He, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she lowered it again, and shouted softly: "Yes!" ”
Yang He looked at the thieves under the mountain, originally they were preparing several waves of offensives, but at this time they stopped, looking at the opposite mountain bag, the figure on the mountain seemed to be arguing about something.
He ordered the soldiers to stand by, and the cold soldiers went out to clean up the battlefield first, packed up the weapons and banners that could be packed, stabbed all the wounded and not dead thieves to death, and then carried all the corpses away. On the west side of the mountain, many large pits had been dug in the morning, and the corpses were thrown in and buried.
The weather is hot, the sun is getting more and more violent, this strong bloody gas mixed with the smell of gunsmoke, rushing into the mouth and nose, it is really a person who wants to vomit, and the corpse cannot be carried away.
Looking at the soldiers under the mountain, some of them were new recruits, and they didn't feel nervous during the battle, but when they woke up and looked at the scenery in front of them, many of them turned pale, their Adam's apples surged, and some even began to vomit.
Yang He also went down to take a look, the corpses all over the ground, the blood all over the slope, flowing like a stream, the blood flowed meanderingly, all scorched black under the sun, and the smell of blood was extremely unpleasant.
There are also the undead screaming and moaning desperately, and the scenery is extremely miserable.
Yang He sighed, what he saw in front of him was too tragic.
However, there is no room for mercy in troubled times, especially for the rogues.
They are locusts, and no grass grows in the places where they pass.
If you show mercy, you will be lying here, and you will be the warriors under your command.
At this time, suddenly there was a commotion on the west side of the mountain, and then a large group of officials gathered in the mountain, and Zhuang Ding of the dragon head set surrounded Yang Ma Ge, the captain of the first team of baggage, and others came over, all of them strode meteors, beaming with joy, and said that they would report to Lord Yang.
It is said that when they were defending the west side of the mountain, and the north side of the mountain, the thieves came and attacked them, and they repulsed them.
It is especially suspected that Zhang Wenxiu, the son of the thief, was killed with one shot, so he came to ask for merit and reward.
"What, kill Zhang Wenxiu, the son of the thief?" For a while, there was a sensation on the top of the mountain, and the generals on the other side of the earthen wall, Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Luo Xianjue, Zhang Songtao and others all hurried up.
Yang He heard a few cannons over there, so he asked carefully, and Brother Yang Ma reported.
It turned out that about 200 thieves and thieves came to attack, and when they saw that the mountains were steep and swampy and ponds were full of water, and it was not easy to attack, they shouted to the mountain and told the defenders on the mountain to surrender quickly.
In particular, there were thieves who claimed to be on the orders of Zhang Wenxiu, the righteous son of the Eight Great Kings, and shouted that if they were willing to surrender, the Eight Great Kings would be introduced as distinguished guests, and they would conspire to be rich and prosperous, and so on.
When he shouted, he also pointed in one direction, as if saying that a certain thief was Zhang Wenxiu, and he was not empty-mouthed.
Yang Ma Ge and the others who were on the defensive paid attention, and they happened to have two artillery pieces beside them, so they aimed at them.
At that time, the distance was more than 100 paces, and one shot was missed, but the other shot penetrated a thief and a man and horse.
Then the two hundred thieves rode back, and took the thief's body away when they left, and the defenders on the mountain all said that the cannon killed it was very similar to the thief's head Zhang Wenxiu, so they rushed to report the victory.
Everyone shook their heads, and they regretted it, it was really just a suspicion, whether they killed the thief's righteous son, this thing is not easy to prove.
Yang He's eyes flashed, and he nodded, Zhang Wenxiu, that is Liu Wenxiu, Zhang Xianzhong's son.
Zhang Xianzhong is extremely human, but there are a few righteous sons who are remarkable, that is, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi.
However, these four people are still just ordinary rogues, and their changes have been after Zhang Xianzhong's death. After experiencing the Sichuan people's support to bitter hatred, the four realized that if they did not change Zhang Xianzhong's policy of indiscriminate killing, the only way awaiting them was destruction.
So in Qijiang, Sichuan, when collecting and dispersing and reorganizing the team, the four people formed a consensus and decided to "not fight, not kill", arrested the prime minister Wang Zhaoling, the queen and others who still stubbornly adhered to Zhang Xianzhong's line, liquidated them, and executed them all.
They all reverted to their original surnames, and profoundly criticized Zhang Xianzhong's original erroneous policy, completely cut off from the original rogue's thoughts, and made the decision to unite the Ming Dynasty and resist the Qing Dynasty.
From that moment on, they had nothing to do with the rogues anymore, and they were transformed from the camp of evil to good, shining brightly in history.
Of course, there is also a difference between the four, if Yang He is allowed to evaluate, he only has two words for Sun Kewang: "Politician." ”
Talent has no virtue, no matter the position of good and evil, everything is only for their own ambitions.
Li Dingguo, who can be called a national hero, although he followed Zhang Xianzhong to create a lot of sins in the early stage, but he met people who were not ladylike, and his overall merits were also great, and his merits could be opened.
Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, you can also.
But this is all in the future, and now they are just rooks, ravaging the villages, scourging the people, committing crimes in his hands, and killing them.
It's a good thing to be killed, if Liu Wenxiu is beaten through with one shot, it will be a kill of the thief, and he Yang He will only be happy and will not show mercy.
I'm afraid of empty rejoicing, after all, it's just a suspicion.
Under this suspicion, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others don't know how many times they have died, and their subordinates have also died many times.
Moreover, the body was snatched back, and it is even more difficult to confirm.
But this is a good thing to promote morale, and write down the next credit first.
