The eight horse thieves are called bandits and thieves, but they are actually private troops, entrenched in Taihang like a country, and the robbery and cutting path on weekdays are also far away, and the people can barely get by. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info even if the suspicious Ma Boss is still not at ease, around the big flat top according to the direction of the gossip to build eight fortresses, named after Qiankun Zhenli and so on.

Each fort was garrisoned with a hundred soldiers, and there were common people among them, and their daily work and taxes were the same as those of the small county. And with the wind and grass, you can also be informed in advance, and the beacon fire relay allows the big flat top to take precautions early.

Located due south, it can be described as the southern gate of the large flat-roofed fortress, and the number of defenders is more than twice as large as that of other forts. Guarded by 200 strong soldiers, coupled with the advantage of the terrain, Zhao Zheng was trapped in only four days after sending troops, which surprised Ma Lao Liu.

"Sir, how is this good, if you don't have an idea, I'm afraid that the big flat top will fall."

Hua Nu took a sip of tea, which was also a plunder of Ma Laoliu from the caravan in Yi County, and said: "The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people." The 500 Zhuo County soldiers became an army in just two months, and this person should not be underestimated.

However, the risk of using troops is to go straight into the army alone, and then Zhao Zheng will definitely capture Xunbao and notify Ji Chong to support. This place can be an ambush for us, and the inside should be combined with the outside. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful. I will send a message to Xizuo, telling Zhao Zheng and Ji Chong to fall to Xunbao. ”

Leaving the fort, Zhao Zheng looked at the blackened city wall with a smile, and there was a strong smell of gasoline around him. The pure stone fortress really startled him, and he thought that he had arrived at the territory of some lord in the Middle Ages in Europe. If it weren't for the horse-character flag fluttering on the wall, Zhao Zheng might have thought that he had crossed it for the second time.

"They were all counted, and one hundred and forty-four died, and fifty-three remained. The light oil bomb was so powerful that many of the bandits were either burned to death or choked to death, and very few were killed. ”

Jing Ke was playing with a black clay pot in his hand, and there was a thin layer of pigskin wrapped in it to prevent leakage, but there was still a pungent smell at the plug.

Oil, the black gold of industrial society. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has been discovered and used by human beings, and now the famous oil fields in Zhuxia include Hexi Land of Qin State and Guzhu County of Yan State. These places can be obtained with a little excavation due to the shallow oil layer.

Crude oil burns with a large taste, thick smoke but low burning, and Zhao Zheng refines it according to the little knowledge he learned in his previous life. A sealed furnace is cast, two pipes are placed on the top and bottom, and after heating, gasoline flows out from above, diesel oil from below, and what remains in it is asphalt-like oil residue.

The gasoline processed by this soil method will produce a large number of harmful gases when it is burned without desulfurization and lead removal processes, and the semi-enclosed military defense structure from the fort will not disperse the smoke and be inhaled by a large number of people, blocking the trachea and causing death.

"This thing hurts the heavens and the world, so it's better not to use it or not." Tao Yuan came over at some point and handed an account book to Zhao Zheng, and said, "This is the roster of the people leaving the fort and some food and ordnance reserves. ”

Zhao Zheng looked through it and said: "The people and the ordnance are placed in the same account book, it seems that these guys treat the people as materials, act as servants in wartime, and levy conscription in peacetime." ”

"Damn, we should kill them all." Jing Ke said hatefully.

Zhao Zheng sent down the account book and said: "It should be killed, but it seems that one has escaped, the news here has leaked, we have to evacuate quickly." ”

After a long journey of hundreds of miles, there was another big battle just now, and the soldiers all wanted to rest for a few days, but Zhao Zheng wanted to evacuate quickly. Tao Yuan persuaded: "Whether to rest for a few days, the soldiers are very sleepy and tired. ”

"Five hundred soldiers are circling around Taihang, and there is no trace to have this result, once the position is locked by the horse bandits, then the army will ambush our five hundred dead scum left."

Zhao Zheng looked at Tao Yuan's flickering eyes, knowing that he wanted to defend the fort and capture the next city. This is the way of thinking about war in ancient times, whoever occupies the city is the winner, and Tao Yuan forgot for a while that he only had 500 soldiers on his side, and he couldn't divide his troops to defend it.

"Destroy the enemy's living force, and do not take one city or one pool as a gain or loss." Zhao Zheng said this sentence and turned to leave, there is no need for democracy on the battlefield, whether Tao Yuan agrees or not, Zhao Zheng decides.

The smell of gasoline and blood in the fort just after a bloody battle was very strong, but the people in the fort were not affected in the slightest, except that they did not open the door, they should cook and cook, and the people who attacked could be worse than the horse bandits.

Accompanied by the fireworks rising from each house, the People's Army also buried pots and cooked in an open field. A large amount of salt is topped with half-solidified lard, and what is put in the pot is delicious.

A group of veterans laughed and scolded around the cauldron and waited for dinner, and when they saw Zhao Zheng coming over, they hurriedly got up and gave a military salute. Zhao Zheng waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and walked straight towards a small figure on the side.

"Squeak~~"

A mischievous squirrel stood on his hand and kept chasing his tail in circles, and he smiled and fed the squirrel a bean from time to time.

"Xiaobu, why don't you eat with the veterans?"

"Don't be hungry, kill two people."

Zhao Zheng frowned, and then said with a smile: "Xiaobu fought bravely, the veterans admired it, and Yutou just said that you helped him block a sword." I want to reward you, and in the future you will be my personal guard, and the general's personal guard is equivalent to the captain. ”

Yingbu smiled, like an ordinary child who had done a good deed and was praised by his parents. Zhao Zhengqiang smiled and tried to remind himself that he was still a child, why did he listen to Jing Ke's words in the first place, let him join the army, and not eliminate the fear of killing in his heart, but manipulate.

"Thank you, father-in-law, I don't be a personal guard, and I don't be a military commander. I just want to be a pawn, rush to the front and kill all these horse bandits, there are a total of 211 people in the mountain village, I just killed two and 209. ”

Looking at his innocent appearance of counting his fingers carefully, Zhao Zheng felt a chill, what did he do, a once innocent child was made a little murderer by himself.

"Xiaobu miscalculated, today our army has beheaded a total of one hundred and forty-four, and there are still fifty-three prisoners who will be executed later. This adds up to a total of one hundred and ninety-nine, and Xiaobu still has twelve left. ”

"No, no, no", Yingbu shook his head and said: "Xiaobu only killed two, and the others were killed by veterans, not counting my number." ”

As he spoke, a trace of red flashed in his eyes, and he was so shocked that the little squirrel shrank in his arms and didn't dare to show his head, and listened to him: "Mother is dead, Shi Yi is dead, everyone in the village is dead, why are the horse bandits still alive, I want to kill them all, kill them all, and leave no one behind." ”

Yingbu said that a tyrannical aura gushed out of his body, and a gust of wind rose on the flat ground, and the spring and April were like the autumn wind. Zhao Zheng took a deep breath and forced back the tears in his eyes, and tried to hold back a smile and said, "Okay, Xiaobu wants to kill the horse bandits, but remember to go home for dinner." The father-in-law and stepmother prepared Xiaobu's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. ”

"Hmm" Yingbu's eyes dissipated, nodded at Zhao Zheng, and ran towards the group of veterans with a smile. Yu Tou was serving food to the soldiers with a horse spoon, and saw Yingbu running from a distance and shouted: "Xiaobu come here, Uncle Yu thank you for saving my life, and the meat in this pot is for you to eat." ”

Although the soldier next to him coveted the only piece of meat in the pot, they should all smile harmoniously, and a veteran took Yingbu over and put it in his arms, and ate Yingbu Meimei on his lunch box.

"Maybe it's fate, yes God." Zhao Zheng raised his head and asked.
