Chapter 12: The Consciousness of the Traveler
Back on the city wall, Zhang Qiang looked at a few of his subordinates who were more outstanding in a group of rebel soldiers, the first one was of course Hu Kui, no matter what he thought or how he did it, he was honest, he always followed Zhang Qiang, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and never said much.
The whole body exudes a rustic, honest atmosphere, which makes people look very good at a glance and feel very reliable.
The body is also five big and three thick, like the image of the Northeast gentleman that people have always presented in their minds.
Zhang Qiang beckoned, Hu Kui obediently walked to Zhang Qiang's side, and shouted with some fear, "My lord." ”
Zhang Qiang twisted his neck, stretched his legs, stepped on a fallen blue brick of the city gate tower, bent down slightly and looked at Hu Kui and said: "My previous command, you also saw, this section of the city wall, now handed over to your command, when the enemy ladder is set up, you send some strong soldiers to block, and then walk the others on the battlements, resist step by step, concentrate some archers and firecrackers, in your hands, where the enemy is strong, you will take it, scatter the enemy, rush into chaos, and drive down the city wall." ”
"Yes, sir." Hu Kui's rough round face showed a hint of excitement and surprise, there were so many people, at least more than a hundred rebel soldiers, which was equivalent to him from a military commander to a hundred general banners, and he was promoted, he felt very happy.
Zhang Qiang stretched out his hand and patted Hu Kui's shoulder, he was not tall, maybe a little taller than the great French emperor Napoleon, Hu Kui saw him stretch out his hand, and immediately bent over with a heart, and stretched his shoulder to Zhang Qiang's hand, Zhang Qiang smiled slightly, and when the fool was also spiritual, he was very satisfied and patted him on the shoulder a few times.
The faces of the family members and soldiers next to them were full of envy, some pouted, their eyes were rolling in their sockets, some didn't know what to think, they gritted their teeth and pursed their lips, some clenched their fists, and some turned their heads and disdainful.
Zhang Qiang didn't care about the mood of these subordinates, he glanced outside the city wall, and was very surprised that the Qing army actually stopped attacking and retreated to the other side of the river, not knowing what they were busy with.
Turning his head, the city wall in the southwest corner was already crumbling, and the people were busy reinforcing the city wall, and the same was true on the city wall in other directions.
Zhang Qiang beckoned, stretched out his hand and clicked a few times, and the outstanding soldiers and family members and guards who had just fought with him all came out, about twenty people, turned around and went down the city wall.
He had to find Zhu Dadian.
It is getting closer and closer to the time when the Qing army will break the city.
The walls in the southwest corner were crumbling, and they had to do something about it.
The combat effectiveness of these rebels is supported by a city wall, and if there is no city wall, they are compared to the combat power of the Tartars or even the Ming army, that is, tofu scum meets granite and eggs, either of which can make them crushed.
Ancient warfare is like this, the city wall is the last line of defense in the hearts of the army and the people, once the city is broken, there are few street battles, desperately resisting, either fleeing, or collapsing, waiting to be slaughtered by others.
The siege ability of the Tartars is very weak, which is recognized by everyone, and the reason why they can break through so many strong cities in the Ming Dynasty is because the Tartars play well in spy warfare, and there are too many traitors and soft bones in the Ming Dynasty.
While walking, while thinking about things, I inadvertently saw the Zhu Mansion family who followed him closely, holding a spear, with a slender figure and a white complexion, no matter how you look at it, he is a handsome guy in the south.
Zhang Qiang's heart moved, and he forgot what a traverser had to do, looking for his younger brother.
In layman's terms, the generals of the Ming army must have a few henchmen around them, the generals control these generals, these generals control the grassroots officers below, and the grassroots officers control the soldiers, only in this way can they control the army and have their own power.
So he asked seemingly casually, "What's your name?" ”
That guy was very clever, his face was happy, and he replied respectfully: "Villain Xuanyuan Longfei,"
"Oh," Zhang Qiang said very casually: "I see that you are very brave in battle today, you are extraordinary in martial arts, and you can insist on standing aside and always support me, so you can also go down to be a banner commander of 100 households, take two soldiers, go to the city wall on the side of our city gate tower, take over that section of defense, I told Hu Kui, you must also do what I say, you know?" ”
The family named Xuanyuan Longfei was very happy, and immediately bowed happily, "Master Xie cultivates." ”
Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, and Xuanyuan Longfei immediately turned around and picked two soldiers who were good with him, and turned around to carry out his order.
Zhang Qiang looked back at another family, this family Ding looked like a showman, clean and neat, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and also a good skin, his figure was not as slender as Long Fei, not high or low, just right, Zhang Qiang raised his chin slightly, "What about you, what is your name?" ”
"Contemptible, surname Zhou, name porridge Zhou, word, Yuntai, Jinhua Mansion City, show talent and fame, I practiced martial arts in the family martial arts hall for two days in my childhood, because of the examination, I failed to try repeatedly, and my family fell in the middle of the road, so I had to put myself into Lord Zhu's house, be a messenger, and run errands."
Zhang Qiang was very surprised, there is such a person, he still has a reputation, Daming's scholar, Xiucai is already a middle- and lower-class talent higher than ordinary civilians for Daming, he can read and write, and he can kill people with a knife, he is a talent, he is lacking this kind of person in his hands, and smiled slightly, "Okay, you follow me, wait a while, go to the rebel soldiers to pick a hundred strong soldiers, and guard me with these dozen people now." ”
Zhou Congee Zhou's face was like Hu Kui and Xuanyuan Longfei, showing an excited expression, who doesn't want to be reused above, just now although he was disdainful of Hu Kui and Xuanyuan Longfei being appointed by Zhang Qiang as the chief banner of the hundred households, but in his heart he still hoped to be affirmed.
Now that the guy in front of him, who he looked down on before and came out of nowhere, gave him what he wanted, his gratitude and evaluation of Zhang Qiang were much higher, and he secretly swore that he would be honest and loyal to this person.
In Zhu's Mansion, he was also recognized and liked by Zhu Dadian because of his knowledge, but no matter how he said it, he was also a slave who sold himself into slavery, someone else's family, and wanted to get ahead, in the eyes of a senior intellectual like Zhu Dadian, it was just a bit of status, but no matter how he had status and was liked, it was not as good as having some strength himself.
Zhang Qiang's eyes swept over the physically strong soldiers who had fought with him, and said loudly: "There will be opportunities, there will be officials, as long as you are loyal to me and fight for me, these are small things." ”
More than a dozen excited family members, nurses, and soldiers shouted loudly together: "My lord is mighty, I will do our best to assist my lord." ”
Zhang Qiang nodded with satisfaction, what is the biggest advantage of the traverser, not that he knows some historical events, nor is he strong in martial arts, no matter how strong his martial arts are, can you fight 10,000 at a time?
The biggest advantage of the traverser is that he is conscious, and he knows how to find the little brother, especially the little brother who can help him, the little brother who is awesome, although these people are from the end of the day, but for their newcomers, they are the best helpers.
As for the future, hehe, there are awesome people in the Ming Dynasty, even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are still a lot of awesome people, clapping their hands, stomping their feet, twisting their necks, Zhang Qiang took these newly subdued younger brothers to continue to inspect Jinhua Mansion City.
