Chapter 137: Stay alive

"Kill you Tartar!" Huang Shan roared lowly.

"You shime, me, I just saved your life!" Zhang Zhongqi's nutrition is better than Huang Shan's, and his physical fitness is stronger than Huang Shan's, so he can stop Huang Shan's sharp knife, and he pleads with Huang Shan.

"You're afraid I'm going to die, méiyou people plowing the land!" Huang Shan's voice was almost forced out of his throat, dull and hoarse, in this middle ground where friend and foe are staggered, neither of them dares to alarm the two warring sides, otherwise they will attract the disaster of death" "The novel chapter is updated the fastest.

"You want me to be your coat and use me as a cow and a horse! One person does the work of several people, and they have to be beaten at any time! I want to live, I'm not your pig dog! Huang Shan breathed heavily, and as he spoke, the saliva in his mouth fell for a long time, slowly falling on Zhang Zhongqi's face.

Zhang Zhongqi bears the weight of Huang Shan's upper body, his strength is a little weak, the blade goes deeper, he whimpered: "I haven't treated you badly, you look at the coats of other families, who is not skinny, you steal food and think I don't ...... it."

"Whoever wants your things, I want your head, I'm going to Dengzhou Town." Huang Shan's face was hideous.

The tip of the knife in his chest trembled, and the blade cut small openings in the muscles, Zhang Zhongqi held back the pain and said: "There are heads everywhere here, you can just cut one away, why bother with me." I'm going to have a baby, you spare me, I'll go home and take care of the mute, her father nàme takes care of you, if you kill me, they will become someone else's coat, and they won't survive, so you can't bear to kill them. ”

Huang Shan was stunned for a moment, the strength in his hand relaxed, and taking advantage of this short opportunity, Zhang Zhongqi suddenly raised the knife up. Then he grabbed Huang Shan's neck to the side and flipped Huang Shan down.

Huang Shan reacted and struggled desperately. His hand holding the knife was held by Zhang Zhongqi, and Zhang Zhongqi's knife was a little longer. The two men gasped heavily, scuffling silently in the barricade, fighting for control of the ladder knife.

Neither of them is a strong person, the strength is not far apart, after all, Zhang Zhongqi's body is better, he slowly took the advantage, grabbed Huang Shan's pigtail, and pulled it down violently. Huang Shan fell crookedly in the trench, Zhang Zhongqi pressed up, and one hand stuck to Huang Shan's neck.

Huang Shan mustered up his last strength, blocked the hand stuck to his neck with his left hand, and pleaded as well.

"Master, master, do good deeds!"

"Fart, you still wanted to harm me just now, don't kill you and keep it for nothing!"

Huang Shan said anxiously: "The Bodhisattva bless you kid." If you kill me, your baby won't survive. ”

Hearing that his baby was his baby, Zhang Zhongqi was also distracted, and Huang Shan violently shook off Zhang Zhongqi's hand. Hitting his head on the door in front of him, Zhang Zhongqi let out a low cry and fell backwards. He rolled backwards and sat down and took two steps back. Pulled out the knife at his waist.

Both of them were exhausted, each breathing juliè. Holding a knife to the enemy, his eyes are full of complicated eyes.

"Huang Shan, go back with me, I promise not to kill you."

"I'm not going back to coat you." Huang Shan roared in a low voice, "I'm not your pig and sheep, I'm working as a cow and a horse in your house to wait for this opportunity." I've seen the fate of those coatings today, and if I go back with you today, I will die tomorrow. ”

Zhang Zhongqi knocked out two teeth, and there was blood in his mouth and nose, he gasped and said: "You stay, I won't kill you, I will raise the flag in the future......"

Huang Shan held the knife at Zhang Zhongqi with both hands, and said with a crying voice: "Although Lao Tzu is a bachelor, but the people in the village were arrested by you and forced to go to Liaodong, less than half of the more than 100 people remained, and more than ten died of exhaustion in Liaodong for half a year. I believe that if there is a house in vain, Lao Tzu will not die, Lao Tzu will live. ”

Huang Shan gritted his teeth, tears flowed on his face, and he rushed out of dirt ditches on his face, and the knife in his hand kept shaking, "If you dare to come over, I will jump out and call out that there is a Jiannu here, and you won't be able to run away as soon as the Dengzhou soldiers come." ”

"You're wearing cotton armor, and if I scream, you'll be shot to death, do you think cotton armor can really block lead?"

"So you didn't have a good heart when you put on my armor! If you want to kill me, I will kill you now, and if you die, I will pull you along. Huang Shan said while crying.

"You are my family's coat, you don't want to escape to Dengzhou Town." Zhang Zhongqi's tone was still fierce, he squatted in the horse ditch, the knife in his hand shining.

Huang Shan burst into tears, crying and saying, "You take me back today, tomorrow...... I have to fill in the trench again, tomorrow there will be few clothes, and the soldiers will be staring at it, you and I will definitely die, you Zhang Zhongqi is a bannerman, and you are also a Han bannerman, and you yiyàng is a trench filler. You let me go over there, and if you are caught by Dengzhou Town in the future, I can still save you. ”

"Please spare me, I want to live. The dumb man makes you do good deeds, and you help the Tartars do so many evil things in Liaodong......"

Zhang Zhongqi fènnu interrupted: "I'm méiyou, I just want to live." I didn't hurt anyone, my whole family was killed. Zhang Zhongqi whined and cried in a low voice, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

"You are harmful to people, you helped the Tartar head to persecute the clothes, and killed many people in Lushun, you let me go today and accumulate virtue for your son...... If you force me to go back, I will die with you!" As long as you stab you desperately, Jiannu will not save you, dumb they will die, if you let me go, we will not die. ”

Huang Shan's face was distorted, a string of snot flowed from his nostrils, sticking to his mouth, and small bubbles bulged with his breathing, Zhang Zhongqi covered Ziji's chest with his left hand, and the two held knives and whimpered in the silent barrage, looking at each other with tears.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Zhongqi stopped crying, wiped the tears on his face, took two steps back, and said in a low voice: "I'll let you go, but you have to wait until I crawl back to the trench before you can go." ”

Huang Shan nodded again and again, Zhang Zhongqi stared at Huang Shan for a while, then took two steps back, quietly climbed up the horse barrier, groped forward, Huang Shan watched him disappear into the dark night, Ziji put his body back in the horse barrier ditch, and waited until he thought it was indeed safe, and then touched it in the direction of Lushun.

The dark and heavy earthen wall of Lushun was getting closer and closer in front of me, and there seemed to be some Chinese voices, and there was a faint fire behind the earthen wall. Huang Shan bit his lip and cried, crawling in the direction of the firelight......

Outside Arthur at night. A hundred steps away from the Golden Khan Banner, Huang Taiji stood on the earthen wall with a lonely face. Quietly looking at the few dim lanterns on the Lushun city wall in the distance, a faint bloody breath drifted in with the sea breeze and burrowed into his nose.

He was only accompanied by Haoge, who whispered to Huang Taiji: "Khan Ama, you can't fight anymore." Our Dajin elite is good at field warfare, and is not good at attacking cities, especially this kind of earthen wall winding and undulating, and it will also be attacked under the city wall, and today it will attack the earthen wall. It has lost 1,100 Mongolian vassals, 900 Wuzhen Chaoha and Tianyou Army, 1,300 Jiabing and Yu Ding, 11 Niu Lu Ezhen, 3 Jiala Ezhen, 1 Baya Layu Ezhen, 1 Meler Ezhen, and 1,000 wounded. In the end, he was driven out of the earth wall, and the gunpowder was used up for thousands of pounds, the lead was exhausted, and even the bags of soil were used up. ”

Huang Taiji seemed to be unheard. After waiting for a while, he asked softly, "Has Minister Méiyou come to you?" ”

"The Mongolian Taiji complained, and the Beile, Taiji, and Beizi of the various banners were unwilling to fight again, including Yuetuo and Zierharang. They have all looked for their sons in private......"

"They don't want to fight?"

"In the afternoon, several key assault difāng entered hand-to-hand combat. The other party will not retreat from the fight, and the most ferocious is not those Dengzhou soldiers. But only the auxiliary soldiers of cotton armor, Erchen saw with his own eyes that two Dengzhou soldiers rushed into our crowd with thunder, killing more than ten people, and the men and horses of each banner were not afraid of fighting, but after these people came out, they began to retreat, and each flag had escapers, and later there were more and more, and the morale was not suitable to attack again. ”

Huang Taiji squinted at the scattered lantern light on the city wall of Lushun not far away, and Turán asked Haoge, "Did you say that Chen Xin was on the city wall?" ”

Haoge didn't expect Huang Taiji to ask this, "Perhaps, the three Hongyi cannons arranged today to bombard the city wall seem to have been hit by Méiyou." ”

"I never thought I could beat him to death like that." Huang Taiji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really want to ask him now, where did he find so many people who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and how did he train these people to come out like a mold, I asked you to talk to those captives more, you asked méiyou." ”

"Khan Ama, in the past few days, I have also asked He Changchang and Tang Yingtai, their infantry armor and vest artillery have something called Caodian. Recruits are generally recruited from the tunpu, the stronger tunhu have some exercises on weekdays, after selecting the elite to join the army, they first practice in Laiyang, Pingdu and other places, which is called intensive training, and then divided into various battalions, which lead the soldiers are from the previous battalion of the generals, and some veterans, called non-commissioned officers, these non-commissioned officers mainly teach recruits skills, starting from the recruits, they are trained from the drill code, which is almost the same to everyone. ”

"Why are there few deserters among these soldiers, and most of the captured ones would rather die?"

Haoge said in a low voice: "Erchen also asked about this, Dengzhou military discipline is very strict, there is no arrears of military salaries, and there is a shime pension, and the rest, He Chang said that he did not mingbái, there is a trainer in their battalion, and he instigated them to kill Zhu Shen on weekdays, and his words are quite slanderous to my Dajin, and all the people in his camp regard my Dajin as a barbarian, and everyone takes it as a pleasure to kill my Zhushen." ”

"Hauge, do you know that the most terrible thing in Dengzhou is Shime?"

Hauge hesitated for a moment before he said, "Soldiers are not afraid of death?" ”

Huang Taiji was noncommittal, and said to himself: "The most terrifying thing about Dengzhou Town is that a group of farmers can be turned into soldiers in just shijiān, this is not a matter of how to practice, during the Apocalypse, there were Denglai soldiers to aid Liao, and Guanning also had Shandong Denglai's squad army, how to come to soldiers who are not afraid of death." As soon as he arrived at this Chen novice, it was full of strong troops, everyone in Dengzhou Town was proud of their military merits, and you also read the military newspaper sent back by Li Yongfang, which was full of rewards for military merits and praise for warriors, and it was said that this kind of military newspaper was widely spread in the Ming Kingdom. This is a name for military merit, let's talk about profit, it is reported that a household in Dengzhou Town is not more than ten acres of land, far less than my big gold, but its fighting spirit is not inferior to Baijia, which is one of the reasons, monthly salary is one of them. ”

Hauge said tentatively: "Our country also attaches great importance to military merits, which is no different from this, but it is very difficult to get a monthly salary. ”

Huang Taiji said lightly: "The owner of the Méiyou banner will give a monthly salary to the soldiers, and the public middle school can't afford this silver, and the land is also owned by the flags. According to Li Yongfang, Chen Xin Tongguo Geng Zhongming collected commercial taxes, and then sold southern goods, copper coins, and cigarettes through trading companies, and also smuggled mink fur, ginseng, and Dongzhu from Dongjiang North Korea, with an annual income of more than one million, so that he could raise so many soldiers and horses, and it was ridiculous that the banners also traded privately with North Korea, selling useless things in Denglai, and letting them reap benefits, which is ridiculous and lamentable. ”

Haoge Ziji was also smuggling, he was a little ashamed after hearing it, and quickly changed the topic and whispered: "Khan Ama, among the Mongolian tribes who came this time, I also found Denglai's commercial goods, and their southern goods are also different from usual, salt, sugar, tea, etc. are all packed into small bags of paper, with the words Dengzhou Sihai Trading Company written on them, both Chinese and Mongolian, and the other is Nawen Dengxiang, which is regarded as a treasure by Taiji. ”

Huang Taiji méiyou cares about this paper bag, which may be a businessman's practice, and he is not interested. What he was worried about was the increase in entanglements between Mongolia and Denglai, and according to Li Yongfang's report, Dengzhou's commercial goods were transferred from Tongguo Ningyuan to Mongolia. Huang Taiji did not dare to force the Mongols to give up this trade route, because those southern goods, spices, pepper, and cigarettes were the things that Mongolia lacked the most, but Denglai was the cheapest, and forcibly forcing the Mongols would only backfire, and in this battle of Lushun, the Mongols suffered heavy losses and gained nothing, and persecution would only accelerate their centrifugal tendencies.

In fact, Huang Taiji had already received information from Li Yongfang, and after the war began, at least 2,000 or 3,000 Dengzhou soldiers were transferred, and at least 12,000 soldiers from Dengzhou Town in Lushun, 3,000 or 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, and a large number of warships. He suppressed the news, holding on to a glimmer of hope, Jinháng's attack today was finally shattered by the stubborn resistance of the other party, and he was now more worried about how to evacuate safely. One of the hidden worries of the Dun soldiers was that Kěnéng was attacked by the defenders during the evacuation, and the town of Dengzhou was not Liao, and they had no fear of field warfare.

The good situation after the Daling River took a sharp turn for the worse, and Huang Taiji's follow-up plans were broken by the Battle of Lushun, and in the face of this undying port fortress, all banners suffered heavy losses and lost confidence. Even Yue Tuo and Zierharang are looking for Haoge to persuade Ziji, and those Maile Ezhen and Niu Lu Ezhen can be imagined.

"Khan Ama ......"

Huang Taiji waved his hand to interrupt Haoge, "Needless to say, Zilharang was reasonable that day, if you don't make a decision for a long time, if you don't make a full blow, you can't conquer it today, and the army should not stay for a long time, let the banner owners and Beizi go to the big tent to discuss matters, and the army will evacuate Lushun as much as possible." ”

"Wow!"

Haoge stood up and was just about to leave, when Huang Taiji stopped him and said, "When you go to inform them, don't tell them that they want to evacuate, they can't spread at this time, and I will personally arrange with them when they arrive at the big tent." ”

Haoge paused for a moment, as if méiyouqingchu Huang Taiji meant, Huang Taiji sighed and said: "If the news spreads, it is difficult to ensure how the people below will prepare, if the clues are found by Dengzhou Town, we will not be able to go safely, even if we want to withdraw, we will continue to attack tomorrow."
