Chapter 440: Siege and surrender in Jedi
The people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion, that is, the Yan Clan and its affiliated tribes, have just experienced a war that turned defeat into victory, and they are ready to take the Bohai Governor's Mansion in one fell swoop, which secretly supports the Tang Dynasty army behind their backs.
The form of the battlefield is very bright, the Tang people can't adapt to the bad weather, although there is such a force that fights very well in the jungle, but after all, it can't withstand the cold of the snow, and the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty's army of more than 20,000 was about to be defeated, who knew that at the critical moment, the Tang army suddenly changed its tactics, pinned it down with a small group of elite troops, and then set fire everywhere.
The smoke from the sky not only smoked away all kinds of animals, but also made one's side lose the strategic initiative.
I heard that the commander of the army was a nephew of the Tang Emperor Li Longji, who was used to living a comfortable life and was not so familiar with fighting.
It is absolutely not possible to continue north, the cold will not be alleviated by the change of seasons, and with the current cold of spring, if you go to one, you will die another.
If you want to go west, the high mountains are not easy to climb, even if you climb over, those who want to come to meet your side must be the fierce attack of the Turks, and they will not leave an excuse for the Tang Dynasty to be overwhelmed.
Not to mention the south, it is the place where people are in the Tang Dynasty, and the only place where you can temporarily avoid the fire is the east side, from the mountains down, running to the coast, the fire can never burn into the water.
After this consideration, the people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion began to carefully touch the direction of the seaside, but fortunately, the seaside where they are going now is still frozen in seawater, and the sharp ships of the Tang Dynasty cannot get closer.
Throwing away everything that got in the way, and only bringing clothes and food, the people of the Yan tribe dragged their families towards the sea, no longer thinking about conquering the Bohai Governor's Mansion, let alone having any intention of destroying all the Tang Dynasty troops.
Li Xun, who stayed on the beach a little further south, had a more comfortable life in the past few days, and he was originally worried that the war would not be won, but he knew what to do when he saw Zhang Xiaobao's follow-up development plan.
The hot air balloons on the fleet are raised, dodging the smoke coverage and patrolling high in the sky.
"Your Highness, why did you say that it was such a coincidence, why did the people in the hot air balloons carried by the fleet all come from Yizhou, and replace them with our people from Shuzhou, and then fly to such a high altitude, even if they are not scared to death, they will be frozen to death, what a coincidence."
Joining the army did not see the plan in Li Xun's hand, this is not military, there is very little content about the military, most of them are about the construction after the war, which involves a lot of interests, Li Xun doesn't want others to understand, otherwise he won't be able to take much advantage.
Hearing the words of joining the army, the team responsible for protecting Li Xun rested next to Li Xun, and they also had the same idea as joining the army, that is, the idea is good, and they are catching up with the people in the fleet who are adapting to the cold weather.
Li Xun glanced at the army and pouted, "What is the accident, do you think everyone is as stupid as you, and you don't know that it is cold when you send the fleet here?" Things that have been prepared for a long time, no matter what the situation of the battle, will not be affected, and now there is no need for the two thousand of us, all of us will go up the mountain for me, grasp things, roe deer, deer, and all kinds of game, including mushrooms and other mountain vegetables, do not miss it. ”
Joining the army really wanted to see the plan in Li Xun's hands, but he knew that His Royal Highness would never give him a chance, so he had to take the order to arrange it.
After arranging to come back, he persuaded worriedly: "Your Highness, should we get on the boat, in case the people from the Heishui Governor's Mansion also come to the beach and suddenly rush from the north, Your Highness will be in danger." ”
"I'm afraid that they won't rush, just rush over, Xiaobao and their newly made weapons haven't seen if they are good or not, just use them on the enemy's body, don't be idle with the rest of the guards, go dig a pit for me, think about it, under what circumstances can you avoid the explosion from under your feet, try to calculate the enemy's reaction, go."
Li Xun gave another order, and the guards didn't know what the county king wanted to do, so they obeyed the order and really went to dig a pit.
Two days later, all the pits that should be dug were dug out, each of which was not deep, about half a foot or so, and then Li Xun asked people to flag the fleet parked at sea, and the fleet immediately put down the boats and came over, and when they arrived at the place, the guards saw things like discus.
The person who brought the discus was very careful to move it, as if it could kill a person at any moment.
After joining the army and looking at it for a while, he didn't figure out what the discus could do, so he asked Li Xun, "Your Highness, can that thing kill the enemy?" ”
Li Xun had already left the boat for some distance, and watched worriedly as the discus were put into the dug pits, and covered up on them, nodded, and introduced: "That thing is called a mine, do you know the artillery?" What the gunboats punched, the artillery was used for active attacks, and mines were used for passive defense. ”
"So it's like a cannonball, and a bang will kill someone?" The army also began to retreat, and he knew the power of the shells.
"That's natural, after stepping on it, as long as you raise your foot, it will be exploded, and there will be tripping mines, and the hanging edge will also be blown up, the psychological deterrence is far greater than the shell, be careful, bury it and don't go over, otherwise a few lives will not be enough for you to die."
Li Xun only knew about this weapon, and had never seen the specific situation, but when he introduced it to others, he seemed to know it very well.
Joining the army did not doubt Li Xun's words, let alone doubt the authenticity of the weapons sent by Zhang and Wang's family, and pulled Li Xun to hide backwards, afraid of accidentally stepping on it, although he knew that the place where the mines were planted was still far away from him.
A guard stood in front of Li Xun, his body faintly blocking that direction, and asked curiously: "Childe, I don't know what you asked them to catch all kinds of beasts and collect wild vegetables?" ”
"Of course, in order to make money, in this mountain, Xiaobaolai wrote in the letter that there are many kinds of resources, especially minerals, when the time comes, we will not be able to occupy, but other resources are no problem, animals will run, no matter how big the mountain fire burns, it will start to burn from one direction.
Most of the animals will run away, some run further west, some run around us, Xiaobao they are not good to continue to pay, otherwise the court will think that they want to stretch out their hands, and their hands are too long, which sometimes makes people worry. ”
Li Xun has been with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan for a long time, coupled with the teaching at home, and understands that what the Zhang and Wang families need to do now is not to build one place after another, but to retreat, so as not to cause the displeasure of others, this person refers to his imperial uncle.
The guard nodded and admitted, "That's right, the Zhang and Wang families are making enough money now, and the power they control is not small, if they still want to occupy a piece in various places, then they don't know what to do, how can they make money by catching animals?" ”
The other guards also have the same idea, and now there are no people in Gyeonggi Province who don't know about the two Zhangwang families, and the clan members who have gone to various places know the sphere of influence of the Zhangwang family, and if the other governors who are sitting on one side don't know about the Zhangwang family, it will really be a hell of a thing.
The Zhang and Wang families have been in the limelight enough, and it's time to hide.
Li Xun understands that his imperial uncle is still inseparable from the Zhang and Wang families, as long as the two families start to do things from now on, they can still maintain a balance.
Especially the things explained in Xiaobaolai's letter, in the future, they will expand outward and occupy the territory, and the Zhang and Wang families will not participate and let others pass, so that more people will have too much power to cover up the Zhang and Wang families.
More people occupy the Heishui Governor's Mansion and the Bohai Governor's Mansion, and the imperial uncle always has to find a way to balance, compared to the Zhang and Wang families, which are easy to master, the newly occupied land of the Tang Dynasty will be a trouble in the future.
There was less worry in his heart, and Li Xun's expression became more natural, and he said to people who still couldn't figure out why they wanted to catch a large number of beasts and gather wild vegetables:
"Can you see the beasts here on the south side of the Yellow River? I think it's impossible, so we catch a few live and send them to the capital to raise, kill the others, make canned food directly here, and then sell it to other places, a braised canned roe deer meat, sold for ten yuan, and some people rush to buy it. ”
"Why is that?" Joining the army did not react for a while.
"What is identity? Can wear clothes that others can't wear, can eat food that others can't eat, this is called identity, I still think it's cheap for ten dollars, and when the time comes, it must be sold at a higher price. ”
Li Xun felt that he had suddenly become smarter, everyone else was stupid, no matter whether others were really stupid or pretending, at least he was comfortable in his heart.
"So so all kinds of animals here can turn into a lot of money?" After joining the army, I was very excited, thinking about whether to catch a few more before leaving, and take them out to show off when I returned to the south of the Yellow River, or further south, even if it was for my family to taste, this is a treasure, many kinds of animals have never been seen, let alone eaten.
Li Xun said: "The money earned is used to recruit people from other places, don't look at a large forest burned by fire, as long as the ash is raised for a year, it can be planted with grain, multiplied, ploughed, and after Xiaobao and they send new food, it will be specially used to cultivate seeds." ”
"Seeds? New, is it possible that there is still food that has not been seen before? "Joining the army is trying to guess what the new seed will look like.
"Naturally, Xiaobao said that there is, and the yield will be very high, even if people don't like to eat, it can be used to feed more livestock, and it can also be made into wine, which can be purified and burned as firewood."
Li Xun once again put the future on himself, feeling that he was involved and an organizer, even if no one gave him credit, he himself thought that the credit could be shared.
At this time, the people around were silent, thinking about what they would look like in the future, whether it was really as His Highness said.
In Jili Prefecture, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan no longer bothered to think about the battle situation in the Heishui Governor's Mansion, and their energy was more focused on science and technology, and now they have written down various ideas and passed them on to the craftsmen gathered from all over the country.
Including all aspects, some aspects of the two people understand relatively thoroughly, the development is faster, do not know much about the general situation, let the craftsmen figure it out for themselves.
The craftsman who has never had a high status has obviously improved his status a lot after meeting Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
According to their respective abilities, they were rated at levels, and the higher the level, the more money they could get every month, and the maximum number of dollars they could get in a month was 200.
Under the temptation of money and the promotion of official positions, the craftsmen are very hard-working, and if they are interested in a certain aspect, they will delve into it to study, and they will not give up until they have achieved some results.
According to the requirements of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the leaders in charge of various fields must gather together once every ten years to discuss their respective achievements and what they do not understand, so as to get inspiration from other people's fields and cooperate with each other.
More Taoist priests were also found, they were okay to alchemy, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not eat their elixir, but appreciated their persistent spirit, personally refined several 'Dan' for them, after the fire and water methods were all used, so that the Taoist priests saw a new world.
On this day, after reading the report on the progress of the industry, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stayed in the room to discuss new things.
"There are still a lot of Taoist priests from all over the country who haven't come, trying to trick them over, people like them are very useful if they make good use of it, they already have a lot of knowledge, but they lack a guide, they can't continue to pretend to be ghosts, and get them all to scientific research."
Zhang Xiaobao has lost weight these days, while he has to be busy with the affairs of Qianzhuang, he has to take charge of the family's accounts, and he has to learn physical and chemical knowledge from Wang Juan, and guide other craftsmen.
Wang Juan is also not easy, she needs to teach the craftsmen all kinds of theories, many theories need more theories to support, and reasoning.
The calculation equations of chemistry and physics alone gave her a headache, not that she couldn't, but that the craftsmen couldn't do it, starting with a variety of symbols, which involved a very important issue.
That is the way of heaven, many craftsmen are more rigid, to say that the sky is round, in fact, the meridian has been measured, although it is not so accurate, but it shows that people have realized that the world is not a round place.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Juan was very helpless, and when he heard Zhang Xiaobao say that he wanted to recruit a large number of Taoist priests to come over, he said worriedly: "If all the Taoist people come, the local people will have less a spiritual pillar and will inevitably believe in Buddhism."
If you want to say this Buddha, Buddhism is still very useful, it involves a kind of philosophy, and our Confucianism, Legalism, etc. have the same effect, can strengthen people's hearts, can persuade people to be good, and can also play an effect on mental illness.
However, I am very opposed to this Buddhism, I don't see any other effect except for collecting money, people who believe in Buddhism are not all kind people, and the monks in the temple are not all compassionate, and I am afraid that Buddhism will rise again in various places. ”
Zhang Xiaobao's brows furrowed, he was really afraid that what Wang Juan said would happen, once a religion is formed, someone will naturally improve it, and as long as there are philosophical thoughts, it is impossible to completely eliminate it.
Not to mention that people are ignorant now, even in the era where he and Wang Juan lived, many corrupt officials took out large sums of money and sent them to the temple, thinking that what they did could be protected by the Buddha.
People's temples really accept it, never ask the source, and as a result, it has become a profession.
There are also all kinds of black-hearted businessmen who would rather spend tens of millions of yuan to dedicate to the temple for stability, rather than spend millions to do something practical.
Of course, the same is true of Taoism, as well as various sects from foreign countries, and I have never seen a leader who really has no selfish intentions.
"Hey~ I'm sad to death, it's hard to suppress it, although it's not easy to become a monk now, and you need all kinds of assessments, but what if you pass the assessment? Buddhism came from India, and it was actually us Chinese who really perfected it, and that kind of sophistry was very helpless, and I have learned it more than once. ”
The more Zhang Xiaobao thought about it, the more depressed he became, rubbing the sun with his hand and complaining.
"Then I will encircle Li Longji and destroy the Buddha again, and return it all to the vulgar." Wang Juan gave an idea.
"It's useless, it's so powerful to break the four olds at the beginning, what is the result? The Buddha is in the human heart, as long as someone wants to use it, as long as someone still believes in it, then it will never be destroyed.
In fact, the main thing is the spiritual sustenance of people, if everyone only trusts themselves and does not look for other spirits, then it will be simple, but this thing is impossible, right? ”
Zhang Xiaobao can ensure that his heart is unswerving, but he can't make all the people in the world think like him.
Wang Juan also understands that "the reason why I don't believe in myself is because many people can't summarize a set of systematic theories, which are related to the spiritual aspect, and think of some way, even if they can't be eliminated, they must be restricted, suppressed, and some of them will be left as a tourist mecca in the future."
In fact, not all the money earned by many temples at that time was spent by the temples themselves, and our party still had a very good way, just like the underworld has always been constant, if you really want to fight, you can beat it all at once, what kind of money can be used to supplement taxation? I decided, wrote a letter to Li Longji, and asked him to deal with Buddhism. ”
"Okay, let's not kill people, we just try to restrict, for example, Buddhism must pay taxes, for example, the land belonging to various temples must pay rent, and we can recite two sutras, do we want to live a comfortable life?
Of course, those who should be supported must continue to be supported, for example, let them not forget to add imperial power when propagating doctrines, if a religion cannot serve the ruler, then there is no need to exist, and the ruler is too defeated. ”
Zhang Xiaobao also made up his mind to slap a sweet date, not only Buddhism, but all other sects that arose in the Tang Dynasty should be treated like this, and the Tubo side is not allowed to believe in it at all, otherwise it will be a trouble in the future.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy, Xiaobei and the little guys were not easy, they were already officials in Jian'an County, but they never took office.
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they won't.
I usually stay with my older siblings, and although I have learned a lot of things, I am blind when I really want to apply it.
When they were clamoring to take office, Zhang Xiaobao did not stop them, but just asked them to take out a plan, and according to their respective official positions, they took out a corresponding plan.
Xiaobei was stunned when he was on the ground, and he usually didn't come up with any plans when he saw his brothers and sisters acting, it seemed that the two of them muttered that there was a way, and it was their turn to be early, and they actually wanted a plan.
So Xiaobei and the others decided to learn again, and they didn't learn from their brothers and sisters, and they felt that it was too big and unrealistic.
With the homework of the spring vacation in the schoolbag behind him, Xiaobei and others formed a team and set off in the direction of Yiying County.
"It's a difficult thing to make a plan, cheer up, or we'll never want to be officials." Xiaobei grabbed the strap of the schoolbag on his shoulders with both hands, walked in the middle of the line, and kept muttering, not knowing whether to tell others or cheer himself up.
They want to find Yan Jiang's younger brother and study every day in the yamen, hoping to learn the skills before the end of the vacation, make a plan, and then go to become an official, of course, the homework must be completed.
After arriving at the place and starting to participate in daily affairs, Xiaobei Jiu found that things were not as simple as they thought, and they thought that there were not many things in the yamen, and the most interesting thing was to ask questions.
Some people wanted to file a complaint, beat the drum at the door of the yamen, led them in to ask about the case, and then punished the bad guys, and the good guys were protected.
As a result, after five days, the little ones were stupid, and there were cases, but they were not good or bad people, such as two neighbors, one of whose fences were blown down by the wind and crushed the chickens of the other family.
Normally, it should be the family that has fallen down on the fence to compensate the person who has killed the chicken, but the problem is that the fence is blown down by the wind because the drainage ditch of the person who crushed the chicken flows there, and a group of chickens keep digging under the fence.
"What's this called?" Xiao Bei, who wanted to be a Qingtian official, broke his fingers and didn't figure out how to judge this case, because in the law, there is no too specific thing in this regard, and if it is really judged according to the law, one party will inevitably suffer.
The chicken farmer can be sentenced to destroy the neighbor's house, but the person who sues the chicken is not the one who crushed the chicken, and if the person who is sentenced to the fence falls down and hurts the neighbor's poultry, the chicken farmer is not convinced.
"Is it possible to judge one side first, and then judge the other, so that the case becomes two cases, each with its own judgment?" Xiaobei thought hard for a long time before he asked Yan Er.
Yan Er shook his head and patiently explained to Xiaobei and the others: "Being a parent official does not mean that it is okay to figure out the case, what needs to be done is to regulate the neighborhood relationship, the law is nothing more than human affection, if everything is judged according to the law, then as long as there is a person who is good at the law, there is such a knife and pen." ”
"How is that judged?" Xiaobei humbly asks for advice.
Yan Er smiled slightly, and asked the two families below: "Li Si, your chicken was crushed to death, do you want the official to sentence your neighbor Li Fangcheng?" ”
"Yan County Order, exactly." Li Si, who was asked, glared angrily at Li Fangcheng next to him and replied.
Yan Er turned to Li Fangcheng again, "Do you feel wronged, Li Si destroyed your fence?" ”
"Yes, my lord is in charge of me." Li Fangcheng also said.
Yan Er nodded, "Then the official will be sentenced, Li Fangcheng, there is a ditch next to the fence of your house, don't you know it on weekdays, why don't you report it?" It's a chicken that is crushed to death today, maybe tomorrow the neighbor's child will be crushed to death, many chickens may not return to the nest when they lay eggs, there are children to pick, I think you are planning to kill the children of Li Si's family one day, do you know the guilt? ”
Li Fangcheng was stupid when he heard it, he just crushed a chicken to death, how could it become a murder?
Yan Er turned his head to look at Li Si again, "Li Si, don't you know that the house foundation where the ditch passes is unstable?" You are trapped in someone's house, and my official thinks that you are trying to cause your neighbor's house to collapse, can you be guilty? ”
Li Si was also frightened, why did he come over and talk about the death of the chicken, and he was put in the homicide case?
"Come on, take the two of them into custody, wait for the official to finish writing the case and send it to the state, and then go to the capital, and ask for beheading after the autumn." Yan Er's voice continued to come.
Xiaobei turned his head and touched Xiaoyuan, "Is there such a saying?" Need to cut off your head? ”
Xiao Yuan thought hard, shook his head, and whispered, "No, he's judging blindly." ”
Xiaobei and the others knew, but the two people below didn't know, how could they understand the laws of the Tang Dynasty, what they knew the most was to kill people to pay for their lives and repay debts.
Seeing that the death of one was about to take two lives, and both of them were afraid, Li Si was the first to speak, "My lord, I won't sue, will I succeed if I don't sue?" My chicken is just about to be killed and eaten meat, and I want to thank Li Fangcheng, and I'll change the ditch when I turn around. ”
Li Fangcheng also hurriedly followed and said: "My lord, I am willing to pay for the chickens, I have long wanted to repair the fence, but I can't spare time, I will repair it when I turn back." ”
"That's not possible, when the two of them come today, there will be some resentment in their hearts, and then the official will have to work this case." Yan Er said with a straight face.
"My lord, don't complain, no one complains, in fact, the two of us are fine, I'll go back and clean up the chickens, cook two dishes, and drink two cups with Brother Fang Cheng."
Li Si assured, and Li Fangcheng continued: "Exactly, I'll go to sell wine, and the four brothers Li will make chicken that is delicious, and adults won't trouble you." ”
The two reached a reunification agreement, wiped cold sweat and walked out of the yamen, looking palpitating.
Watching the two of them leave, Yan Er smiled and said to the nine children, "Do you see it?" As long as it doesn't hurt people or kill people, as long as the loss is not too great, if you can not judge it, you won't be judged, and if one person is sentenced, the other person will inevitably hold a grudge, and both will be sentenced, and the neighborhood relationship will not get along well in the future, and maybe there will be bigger things.
As an official, it is better to judge the situation and settle a quarrel than to open a case, and don't think that you can judge the case arbitrarily after learning a lot of laws, such an official is definitely not a good official. ”
Xiaobei and the others were surprised, nodded after being taught, and finally understood that it was not easy to be an official, and decided to study hard and become a good official after learning.
The matter soon spread to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Seeing what was written in the letter, Zhang Xiaobao smiled, "It seems that if you want to be a bad official, you have to be more capable than a good official, and once you become better, you will be more powerful than an ordinary good official." ”
"Isn't it, that's fine, we can't directly teach Xiaobei their skills, let them learn from others, do you really plan to let them go to Jian'an to become officials?"
Wang Juan is also very happy, it is really not easy to find such a good official, these two brothers are really not small, and when the elder brother is greedy for money, he is also engaged in research, at least people can govern the place well, and then be greedy.
Rather than have such an official than a clean breeze on his own sleeves, the people followed the honest officials who had been offended, thinking of the appointment that Xiaobei and others had asked for from Li Longji, Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao again.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the direction of Jian'an, nodded and said: "As long as they learn about the same, let them go, there is actually not much population there, let them go over and play, even if they pay for it themselves in order to let the remaining people live a good life, I will give it, no need to reciprocate." ”
"You're used to them."
"It's better to let them see more and learn more than to follow us all the time, and many experiences need to be experienced by themselves."
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, no longer thinking about his younger siblings, picked up the map on the table and looked at it again, and beckoned Wang Juan to analyze it together, where are there still minerals.
Half a month passed in a hurry, and Xiaobei and the others had not finished their vacation, and continued to study with Yan Er.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are still waiting for the people sent out to discover North America and return safely.
Li Xun ended his leisurely days, as the weather warmed up, the sea gradually melted, and no one from the Heishui Governor's Mansion came over for a long time, which made his mood a little fluctuating and wanted to take the initiative.
Spread out the improvised map, Li Xun looked at it carefully, and the soldier next to him looked serious.
"They are now assembled on the coastal line, they know that I am here, but they don't come to attack, what do you say they have in mind?"
Li Xun pointed to the map with his hand, which was where the people from the Heishui Governor's Mansion were located, and they had already determined the location of the other party by risking reconnaissance in a hot air balloon with a strong wind.
Joining the army approached, thought about it carefully, and said: "Could it be that he is recuperating from his injuries, preparing to knock us down in one go after the injured person some time ago has almost recovered?" ”
"Recuperate? I guess not, right? I suspect that they know that there are gunboats on our side, and they don't want to put themselves in danger, so it seems that they need to let the gunboats leave, and pass my orders to let the gunboats go to places that cannot be seen by human vision, and the hot air balloons in the sky continue to rise. ”
Li Xun thought about it and issued an order, and the mouth of the army moved, trying to dissuade Li Xun from putting himself in danger, but in the end he didn't say a word, he also knew that Li Xun's temper was not easy to change, so he could only protect it when the people from the Heishui Governor's Mansion really called.
With the retreat of the fleet, Li Xun also made a posture of leaving, sent all the prey to the fleet, as well as wild vegetables and other things, and then set up camp and slowly evacuated backwards.
Things really made him think right, the reason why the people from the Heishui Governor's Mansion didn't come over was that they were really afraid of the gunboat attack in the sea, and as soon as the gunboat retreated, Li Xun also made a departure here, and immediately reorganized the team and chased after Li Xun.
Li Xun had a hot air balloon to reconnoitre, discovered the situation early, made a detour and ambushed, and suddenly rushed out when the people from the Heishui Governor's Mansion were about to enter the minefield.
It's just that there are not many people who rush out, only more than 300 people, which makes people look like the kind that stays and breaks off.
The people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion were stunned at first, and seeing that there were only such a few people, they commanded more than 2,000 people to continue to charge towards the location of the 300 people.
As soon as they entered the minefield, people with bad ideas were blown up into the sky, and the rumbling sound sounded one after another.
The people who were stunned by the bombing thought that the gunboat had returned, and they jumped around, some ran back, some ran somewhere else, and some lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
Except for those who ran backwards, there was nothing to do, and those who were running in other directions stepped on the mines one after another, making heart-rending noises in the explosion.
At this time, the people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion were completely suppressed, and they looked around blankly, hoping to find where the enemy was attacking, so that they could dodge in advance.
Li Xun saw that the time had come, and commanded the others to bypass the mine array and attack the people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion, and Haizai's gunboats also turned north to attack the assembly area of the Heishui Governor's Mansion.
It turned out that because of the high mountains and dense forests, the hot air balloons that did not play a big role also began to assemble and flew towards the place where the Heishui Governor's Mansion was encamped.
At this moment, the people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion were in chaos, the defeated army was different from the army that was ready to attack the enemy after all, and when Li Xun commanded the team to rush over, the first two thousand people who were hiding in the mountains also formed an encirclement posture.
There are not many people killed by landmines in the Heishui Governor's Mansion, the main reason is that the effect is too shocking, and they die inexplicably, and the people who run back are under great psychological pressure, and they directly mess up their own side's position.
When the enemies on three sides converged here, the people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion could no longer muster up the courage to fight, leaving some people behind, and the rest of the people took the old and the young to run further north, hoping to run far enough, and the army of the Tang Dynasty gave up the pursuit.
"Chase, surrender and don't kill." Li Xun shouted, wanting to take the lead, but was protected by others, and also shouted.
The people who were left behind, and those who were hit by the mines were the first to surrender, and they didn't want to die, Li Xun left some people to tie them up and watch them, and took the rest of the people to continue chasing.
The people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion were rushed by the chaotic army and couldn't line up, plus there were still old and young in the team, and the speed of running couldn't be improved at all, the more they ran, the more anxious they became, the more they ran, the more tired they felt, and the sound of crying came from time to time in the team.
The old man who couldn't run gave up first, followed by the woman and the child, crying, willing to leave for themselves, and the sound of parting resounded on the beach and in the woods.
Li Xun chased unfast, slowed down whenever he got close, and took good care of the old people and women left by the other party.
This chase and run is half a day, and the people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion want to hide after opening up a distance, but they can't avoid the hot air balloon flying in the sky at all, not to mention that they think that they ran out of the sight of the Tang Army, but in fact, it is still within the range that the Tang Army's telescope can observe.
Li Xun commanded people to chase for another half an hour, and finally he couldn't run, mainly because he didn't have to catch up with the enemy at once, and if he didn't have the idea of fighting to the death in his heart, people were easy to slack.
"Stop, stop, don't chase, wait for them to run back, if they ran north earlier, I really can't help it, but who asked them to give me the time to arrange, rest, rest and then meet the enemy, get the captured people here, attack the heart."
Li Xun panted heavily, pinched his waist with his hands, he really couldn't run, he had already been left behind when he joined the army, he was far worse than Li Xun, Li Xun also followed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to receive training.
The people of the Heishui Governor's Mansion actually couldn't run, but they had to run, and if they didn't run, their lives would be gone, and when they found that the pursuers behind them were silent, they cautiously stopped for temporary rectification.
Many adults are blinded, and children are tired of crying or resting or sitting on the ground in a daze, waiting for an unknown fate to come.
A large number of things were thrown away in the process of escaping, and only a few people still had dried meat and biscuits on them, and sent out people to look backwards, and saw that the army of the Tang Dynasty really stopped chasing, and began to gather what they could eat to fill their stomachs.
Eat a bite of dry stuff and find unmelted snow as water, the people of the Black Water Governor's Mansion have a very hard time eating.
When they had finished eating, and felt more tired from the previous run, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in the direction of their north.
The crowd struggled to their feet, and looked towards the escape route that was supposed to be their continuation, and saw a dense crowd of figures appear on the small hillside to the north.
The monarch of the Heishui Governor's Mansion looked at the people around him who were less than 10,000 people, and then looked at the thousands of vigorous Tang soldiers who appeared in front of him, and he couldn't raise any fighting spirit for a while.
Waiting for the other party to be less than a hundred steps away from his side, the faces of the people here all showed helpless looks.
"Where did you come from?" The monarch of the Heishui Governor's Mansion wanted to die, he knew that he couldn't live anymore no matter what, who asked him to send someone to calculate Li Longji.
A person stood up on the other side, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Run, you run again?" You thought you knew to run north, but we didn't know to come and ambush first? Okay, let you understand what's going on.
When our highness retreated, he began to order people to take boats to the ice over there, and before the ice melted, he sent us to go around from the ice behind you, thinking that you could launch an attack some time ago, but I didn't expect you to wait so long that we almost ate up the food we brought.
Now that you are surrounded on all sides, and you have been on the road for so long, I don't know if you still have the strength to fight? Surrender, my Royal Highness said, those who surrender will not be killed, except for you, the leader, all others will not die. ”
The people in the Heishui Governor's Mansion listened to each other's shouts, and finally understood what was going on, and regretted it for a while, if they hadn't worried about continuing to freeze to death in the north, they wouldn't have been surrounded today.
As the other party said, there is no strength to fight on his side, and everyone looks at the monarch, wanting the monarch to make a decision, if he fights, then he is not afraid to fight to the end.
The monarch of the Black Water Governor's Mansion sighed, looked at the sky, and announced, "Surrender, surrender." ”
