Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Great Golden Rival
Ma Bao stayed where he was and observed the movements of the Jurchens, and when he saw the Jurchens fleeing in embarrassment, he resolutely followed.
He carefully avoided the fire and walked through it. In just a moment, his hair was roasted by the fire.
But he didn't care, there was only one goal in his heart ~ Jiannu.
Despite his best efforts to keep up with the Jurchens, the fire interrupted his plans. A sudden fire almost swept him into the fire, and Ma Bao had no choice but to take a detour and continue to follow the Jurchens.
The wildfire raged directly for two days before leaving the mountain forest and spreading into the distance. In fact, Ma Bao lost the Jurchens last night, although the night was also full of fire, but it also blocked Ma Bao's footsteps.
He made a long detour before returning to the back of the Jurchens, following the footprints left by the Jurchens, and Ma Bao came to the front of a small valley.
There is a meandering stream in front of the small valley, and it is this stream that keeps the raging wildfires out of the valley.
Ma Bao cautiously approached, and when he touched the entrance to the valley, he finally saw the situation inside.
I saw that the Jurchens were sitting around the fire roasting pieces of meat, although they couldn't see clearly, Ma Bao could feel the low morale of Jiannu.
In the morning, there was still an army of 1,500 people, and now there are half of the men and horses left, and anyone will feel a chill.
These Jurchens finally realized that the pursuit of the Ming army this time did not seem to be a beautiful difference, and they had not seen the Ming army yet! Half of the men and horses have already been lost, what if they encounter the Ming army? Almost no one dared to think about that fate.
Daizen was also sitting by the fire, with a piece of roasted meat beside him. With a heavy heart, he had no appetite at all, and looking at the golden piece of meat, Dai Shan thought of the Jurchens who were burned to death in the sea of fire.
He kept shouting in his heart: Could it be that Zhang Dadou is his destined enemy? Why is he unlucky every time he meets Zhang Dadou. is still at odds with Zhang Dou, a natural rival.
Even the prepared wildfire can be blown at you by the wind, why is it always yourself who is injured every time?
He looked down at his body, and the cotton armor outside had been damaged by the fire in many places. The pants are even more cut by tree branches, and they have become a flower child.
There was also a faint pain in his hand, and he knew that his pursuit of Zhang Dadou had completely failed. Fortunately, this fire blocked the pursuit of the Ming army, otherwise once the Ming army attacked, with their current morale, they would definitely be more auspicious.
Ma Bao carefully observed the situation in the small valley and found that this place was almost a Jedi. There are steep rocks on all sides, except that there is a passage on one side that leads to the outside of the valley.
But it is such a Jedi that has become the best place to escape the wildfires. The stream outside blocked the entry of the mountain fires, and the surrounding rocks prevented those mountain fires from burning in, and Ma Bao admired Jiannu's luck to find such a good hiding place.
At dawn the next day, Dai Shan woke up as usual. The pain in his body told him that he was still in the mountains, not in Shengjing's soft big bed.
At this moment, he missed the soft big bed and the beautiful woman on it. Thinking of that soft and delicate body, he didn't want to get up. Let's get some more sleep! Even if it's just a second of extra sleep!
Suddenly, a scream spread throughout the valley, and Daishan jumped out of the shack in shock.
Zhang Dou, who got the news last night, was not careless, he carefully asked Ma Bao about the situation of the Jurchen's hiding place, as well as the remaining Jurchen people. When he learned that the Jurchens had run to a Jedi to escape the mountain fire, his heart blossomed.
Dai Shan, Dai Shan! How good it is for you to live happily in Shengjing, why do you have to come to find your own bad luck. Well, now, the dignified Golden Belle has been reduced to the point of living in a shack and sleeping on weeds, why bother!
At night, Zhang Dou led the team to march to the small valley, and after observing the specific situation, he made the decision to set fire on all sides and block the mouth of the valley.
Two days ago, the Jurchens set fire to the fire and almost wiped out their own army. Now it's Zhang Dadou's turn to set the fire, which will be enough to drink a pot on behalf of Shan.
Zhang Dadou ordered people to make a lot of grass balls overnight, and each grass ball had a person to be high. They were all made of withered yellow hay, and as long as they occupied the mouth of the valley, and then let the burning grass balls roll down all around, the thought of that scene made people's blood boil.
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the valley in the morning, the Jurchen armor soldiers who woke up were horrified to find that there were many tall grass balls around the valley. These grass balls must not have been yesterday, where did these grass balls come from?
These sobered Jurchen armor soldiers suddenly thought of an allusion ~ burning vine armor soldiers. Just a few days ago, Mr. Bai also told them how resourceful Zhuge Liang was, and just set a fire to wipe out the invulnerable rattan armor soldiers.
These armor soldiers suddenly found that they seemed to have become a role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But it was the tragic and annihilated characters, and their hearts sank.
Zhang Douke didn't care what the Jurchen armor soldiers in the valley thought, he just sent all the white pole soldiers to set fire to all sides. And he led the Zhejiang soldiers to block the entrance of the valley and arranged rows of tiger squat cannons.
As the fireballs burning around the valley rolled down, the Jurchen armor soldiers went completely crazy. With no way out, they rushed madly towards the mouth of the valley, fearless in the face of the black hole's mouth and the muzzle of the cannon.
In just an instant, they filled the small valley mouth. Zhang Dou saw that the Jurchens were rushing towards him desperately, and he decisively ordered "Fire!" β
The first to fire was a one-door tiger squat cannon, and Zhang Dou divided a dozen tiger squat cannons into two batches. Each time, there were 6-7 tiger squat cannons that shot hundreds of lead bullets and stones. Two batches of Tiger squat guns took turns firing to increase the duration of the fire.
And those musketeers lined up in a standard three-stage shot, with 30 musketeers in each platoon firing at the Jurchen armor. The remaining more than 100 people were arranged by Zhang Dou to block in front of the firecracker with a horizontal card to resist the Jurchens' arrows.
And he himself is standing at the end, with a fire fold in one hand and an explosives bag in the other. Once the Jurchens were too dense, they had to rely on his humanoid catapult to throw explosives into the Jurchens.
The battle began to heat up, Li Zhu stood in the front row, and while aiming he said to the horse next to him: "Second donkey, how many have you killed!" Are there 2 of them? β
"Fuck off! Lao Tzu has already killed 3 of them, and every shot has not missed. "Ma Hu has already accepted the title of the second donkey, and now no one calls him by his big name, and they all call him the second donkey.
"You're not as good as me! Tell you! I've already killed 4 of them! Li Zhu said boastfully.
The second donkey rolled his eyes in anger at Li Zhu's shamelessness, "A total of 3 rounds of firecrackers, why did you kill 4 people, and bragging is not such a boasting method!" β
"I'll tell you a secret, just now when I fired the gun, I killed a soldier with one gun. The bullet passed through Kennu's body and hit JJ of the armored soldier behind him. That soldier must have hurt to death, do you think I killed 4 of them! Li Zhu's nonsense made everyone speechless for a while.
The second dog came up and slapped him, "I see that your kid has been cleaning up lately, fighting!" And idle chat! β
"Captain! You see, the Jiannu couldn't rush in at all, and they were knocked down by the gunners as soon as they reached the valley mouth. Now the gunners charge faster than we do, and they shoot much more lead than we do. Then there are Jiannu rushing over! "What Li Zhu said is indeed the truth.
Since the use of the Tiger Squat Cannon with fixed gunpowder, the speed of the fight is called a fast. A few breaths can hit a round of artillery bombardment, and Zhang Dou actually arranged all the tiger squat cannons in such a narrow area as the valley mouth. Also launched in two batches. , this is going to kill the Jurchens.
As soon as they rushed into the valley mouth, they were knocked down head-on, and the people behind them had just taken a step forward from the corpse in front of them when they encountered a second blow. Finally, when the tiger squat cannon was finished, they ushered in the three-stage attack of the fire gun. As they rushed forward with the firearms, packets of explosives fell from the sky into their crowd, sending them flying all over the sky.
Although Dai Shan gave the death order, the first soldier was desperate enough. But flesh and blood did not compete with steel, and in just a few charges, the Jurchens' armor had been exhausted.
Looking at the fireballs burning everywhere, Dai Shan looked up to the sky and sighed! This is the heavens that will die, and he will be good!
There were only about 200 soldiers left around him, and the rest either died at the mouth of the valley or were consumed by the fire.
They stood in a small area at the mouth of the valley, struggling to huddle together. Although the fire did not burn them, the heat made them charred and sweaty.
Maybe the next moment they will be roasted to death by the fire, and Dai Shan can't bear it anymore when he sees this.
He shouted at Taniguchi: "Zhang Dadou! I'll respect you as a hero, so let's have a heroic battle! β
His shout made everyone unconsciously stop the movements in their hands, and everyone looked straight at Zhang Dou. Zhang Dou laughed contemptuously and said.
"Dai Shan! You are so naΓ―ve! Why don't you duel with me when you have the upper hand on the banks of the Hunhe. In the thousand mountains, why didn't you duel with me when you chased me with your men. Now that I'm at the end of my rope, I think of a duel, it's ridiculous! Zhang Dou's words were dark, black!
That's right! has been smoked like the king of the stove, and he can't see his face at all.
Dai Shan knew that he was unjustly defeated, and Zhang Dadou could be said to be brave and strategic. Almost every step he took fell into the other party's calculations, and he knew that the other party would never give him a chance.
He looked up to the north and prayed silently in his heart that Nurhachi would hear his voice.
Zhang Dadou is my Dajin's fierce rival, and this person will never have peace if he doesn't get rid of my Dajin.
