Chapter 8036: Yunqi 6
On the banks of the Yalu River, large areas of green and yellow rice fields have been trampled into mottled sludge.
In the volley of cannons, the flag officers around the planters waved their arms and flags, causing the vassals to rush forward.
I saw them carrying all kinds of improvised siege equipment, swarming together on a one-mile-radius earthen city, densely stacked and trying to climb up, and then they were smashed down one after another by the bows and arrows and masonry on it.
At this time, the headquarters of the seed division, which was waiting for the battle, also slowly advanced in small steps, and then gradually included the stubborn defenders at the head of the city into the most basic range and killing range.
Under the crackling volley, those figures faintly exposed on the wall seemed to be knocked down and destroyed by an invisible force, and in the dust splashes one after another, they disappeared in an instant.
The rest of the feudal soldiers were suddenly boosted and they hurried up to climb away. Faster than them, however, was the four-inch long-barreled field gun that had already been pushed over and fired closer.
Although there were only five gates, after concentrating on one place at the head of the city, I saw countless crumbling and exploding clods of earth scattered everywhere, and even the part below the rammed earth battlements was broken open with a large gap three or four steps wide.
As for the defenders behind and on the side, all that was left was a few pieces of stump and dark red blood caught in the rubble. At this time, the feudal soldiers also shouted loudly, rushed to the top of the wall, and fought with the remnants of the defenders who came out.
But the best performers were actually those Fujian soldiers who had just crossed the sea, although they had not yet fully mastered the use of firearms, and could only play the role of white soldiers. But in the alternate cover charge of holding a spear and catching a shield, it is not much inferior.
I saw them rushing out of formation like arrows, along the ruins of the ground and the weapons left behind by the friendly troops, towards the gap in the earthen wall that had been blasted by the artillery; Almost diagonally from side to side, he held his hand up to the top of the city with his strength to lower his body but his speed did not slow.
It wasn't until the moment he condescended to the top of the field that he swooped into the hastily gathered defenders like an ape flying down.
Three times five divided by two, with the skillful shield in his hand, he knocked over and rushed away from a piece of enemies, and then rolled down to both sides, making way for his companions behind, and at the same time, he did not forget to pull out the short knife in the card, and just curled up and lowered his body, slashing at the legs and feet of the enemies around him.
When the oncoming defenders were killed and scattered, they scattered into many smaller battle groups, alternately hiding in the city that followed the defeated army into the smoke and flames.
At this time, in the hands of these Fujian soldiers, some thin bamboo spears were replaced and thrown head-on on those enemies who tried to regroup, killing them again and crushing them.
Then, from time to time in the streets and alleys, there were stubborn enemies rushing out, and then crashing into the wall made of cards in their hands, and then being knocked down and pushed back step by step, and then they were poked by the thin bamboo guns in their hands and fell to the ground with blood sprayed and killed.
With the Zhu clan, the princes of the city, desperately raising fire in their own city, this offensive and defensive battle has also come to an end.
Walking through the ashes and rubble of the planters, you could see the vassal soldiers busy looting, and from time to time there were weeping women dragged by their hair, pulled and pulled out of the smashed houses, and then tied up in the streets.
On the contrary, those Fujian soldiers who entered the city first gathered in the streets in a more orderly manner, except for a small number of patrolling sentries, the rest sat on the ground with weapons in their regiments, drinking water, eating food and bandaging each other's wounds, waiting for the next order.
After laying down here,
Already more than 300 miles away from Bozhuokou and Bo Shan City, he fought all the way north along the lower reaches of the Yalu River, and used the reason of chasing down the rebels to pacify the vassal princes who were subordinate to the Da Luo clan here.
The middle and lower reaches of this Yalu water are not only very hilly, but also distributed with large and small princes and clans, as well as cities and fortresses all over the land.
Although their individual strength is limited, the scale of the city is not large, and most of them have no more than a thousand soldiers, and the few are only two or three hundred; Moreover, there has been no threat and harassment for a long time, and the armament and training are quite wasted; However, the accumulation of a sufficient number of strongholds has also caused a lot of trouble to this deviant division under the command of the seed master.
Fortunately, they are not completely in a group with the outside world, and there are many leading parties who have contacts with Huaidong and voluntarily cooperate; And in front of the banner from the Sect Master Luo clan, these princes with small surnames also had different reactions and attitudes, which gave him various opportunities to break through.
Along the way, he has broken through thirteen cities and settlements in the local Baozhou, Dingzhou, and Xuanzhou, and swept and looted the territories of about eight small feudal families, and this Bo'an City, which has a population of nearly 10,000 and 2,000 feudal soldiers, is also the greatest resistance they have encountered.
Anyway, apart from the land around Bozhuokou, he did not want any cities and strongholds that had been defeated, but as a reward and incentive, he distributed them to the seven princes and clans who accompanied the army to help in the war.
In the end, they only took away the materials, goods and corresponding young and middle-aged population seized from the resistance forces, and then sent them back to Huaidong by sea along the river through the temporary port of Bozhuokou.
In this way, he received a relatively constant supply of local cannon fodder and propulsive forces. also further reduced the proportion of casualties among his men,
It's just that after a military order sent from the rear arrived in front of him, the planter couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"Looks like we're going to have to end the fighting as soon as possible......"
"Are you going back to your teacher......
A regimental general beside him said
"No, just end the fighting here as soon as possible."
"There's another, bigger one waiting for us to participate in............
"Anu She ......"
I continued to play with the toy Ah Qiu's body, including making her wriggle her big tail, which was already a little wet, making all kinds of flattering and pampering gestures, while asking her about some things in the past from time to time.
It is also a psychological trick in interrogation. As a person who has been forcibly distorted to the current state of the training city, she may still have something to hide and reserve for some key places.
However, for details that have passed a long time and are obviously irrelevant, under the dual stimulation of physical and psychological stimulation, there may not be extra mental defense and re-engineering efforts.
Such repetition
So I knew something about her past; For example, she didn't know her place of origin and origin, but she only remembered that she was sold when she was very young, and then after being bought by an organization, she was forced to separate from her sister who depended on her life.
"Wait...... What's your sister's name?"
Suddenly, my heart moved, as if I had grasped a certain key.
"It won't be called Nian Nu to ......"
“……”
Ah Qiu really showed a certain surprised expression.
"Is there a pale tread under her umbilicus......
I continued to explore the way, but I had carefully observed every detail of my body, and I was deeply impressed.
She didn't answer, but the sudden stiffening of her body was clearly the best response. I think it's a little weird.
At the beginning, the maid Nian Nu next to Shi Niang was actually the younger sister of this Nian Qiu, although they were half-sisters, they still seemed to have some unusual concern and concern.
No wonder I had an unusual sense of déjà vu when I first met her. Maybe this is an opportunity to blackmail her with what she values.
However, after thinking about the long-term consequences, I decided to tell her the rest of the story. For example, I had a chance encounter on a certain part of my journey, and those things around Li Shi Niang.
When she heard that Niannu had died in an inexplicable courtyard outside the Jiangdu City of Yangzhou, Ah Qiu, who originally seemed to be indifferent to everything, fell into a kind of dead silence for a long time.
In a sense, Nian Nu was the first woman I tasted in this world, and finally died in my arms in some helpless and weak posture; Although there are not many impressions and memories left, they are also exceptionally impressive.
Therefore, for the last moments of her life and the separation of life and death, I also gave a certain kind of imaginative beautification.
Then, Ah Qiu, who thought that he didn't know how to shed tears, just followed his body instinct in front of me, maintaining this shameful posture and action; And while maintaining a flattering smile on his face, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop pouring down, not to mention how weird and infiltrating they were.
Okay, did I accidentally play her bad again?
