Chapter 244: Soldiers Trapped in Guiyang (Lower and Upper Levels)
Naturally, the Jinyi guards couldn't hear their prayers, and rested as usual at night, and the Yi people in ambush were wailing again.
King Shin's heart was full of contradictions, he was already ninety percent sure that this town was a trap, and burning it down was the most correct choice, but there was still a chance that his judgment was wrong. For the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, he can be ruthless and poison without hesitation, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty, he really does not have that ruthlessness, which is the characteristic of the Emperor of the Zhu family. Zhu Yuanzhang started from a humble beginning, although he killed heroes after ascending the throne, he was still very merciful to the poor and laboring people, such as the agricultural tax, which was set quite low, only 30 taxes and 1. The successive emperors who succeeded after him were very mean to the civil and military generals, but they were generous to the people. This is also one of the reasons why the Ming Emperor has a relatively low evaluation in history, because it is never the people who write history, but the ministers who master the pen.
Early the next morning, the anxious King Shin picked up a telescope to carefully observe the movement of the town. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said, "Beat the drum and raise the account!" ”
After a while, Xiong Tingbi and seven thousand households gathered under the tent.
King Xin looked confident and said, "Today we can teach those rebels who are pretending to be ordinary people a good lesson." ”
The generals are overjoyed, they have been blocked here for a day and a night, and they have long held back the fire in their stomachs, and now they finally have a chance to take revenge, so why don't they hurry up and kill them.
Xiong Tingbi was a little puzzled and asked: "Didn't King Xin say yesterday that they have a ninety percent chance of being rebels, but one percent of them are likely to be ordinary people?" How can you be so sure today? ”
Seven thousand households glared at Xiong Tingbi angrily, and said in their hearts, King Xin was originally indecisive, and he finally rose up once, and you still came to interrupt, don't you think you haven't been blocked here long enough?
Shinoh smiled confidently. Said: "Just now I carefully observed the stilted buildings in the town and found that the bottom of the stilted buildings is paddy fields, which is very unreasonable. Although the stilted building can be made on the mountain and on the water, I have not heard of any stilted building made on the paddy field. These stilted buildings are clearly improvised and are intended to be used to shade our premises. ”
Cao Huazhang shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, let's kill it." ”
"To kill is to kill the past. But there is also a plan," said King Shin gloomily, "and I will make it impossible for the rebels to escape. Our camp here will not be withdrawn first, and put on the appearance of holding on, and then send a cavalry hundred households to quickly pass through the town of Guò and go around behind enemy lines. Be careful to disperse the past and make the rebels think that we are just scouting the terrain. After the hundred-household team passed, they quickly set up a position in order to hold on. Then the other two hundred households went barefoot in the fields. Guarding the back door of the stilted building. When they are ready together, they will use the fire gun as the signal and light the stilted building with feather arrows with fire. The rest of the matter was easy, and everyone used crossbow arrows to greet the rebels who had escaped from the fire. ”
The generals made a www.biquge.info of the fun pavilion, thinking that this plan was seamless, and they would definitely be able to completely annihilate this gang of bad things who tried to harm Jinyiwei.
Xiong Tingbi was a little in awe of King Xin's judgment, adaptability, and command ability, and said in his heart, King Xin is worthy of being the younger brother of Zhuang Yuanlang. In the past few days, the table xiàn and the battlefield veteran have to fight. He couldn't help but be a little worried that he had sent a letter to the military department asking for help, if the king of letters went to Guizhou, not only would he not be trapped. On the contrary, the rebels were defeated and retreated, and when the war department wasted public funds to mobilize troops to rescue, it was found that it was a false alarm, which was not a small crime. No matter what, when the time comes, I will ask Zhu Youcheng to say a few good words, anyway, my starting point is all for the safety of King Xin.
The task of breaking through the blockade to the opposite side of the town and guarding the stilted building in Shimoda was all snatched by Cao Huazhang's thousand households. His soldiers gritted their teeth at the rebels' killing of their partners, and how could they let it go if they had the opportunity to take revenge this time. Seeing that the army's heart was available, the king did not stop them much, but only told them not to be carried away by anger and to act according to the plan.
Let's talk about the people in the stilted building. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves approaching, his spirit was greatly lifted, and he almost shouted that Ming Jun was grandpa, but shouting grandpa was shouting grandpa, and he immediately set fire to it after shouting.
Wei Shiri listened to the sound of horses' hooves, and was also happy in his heart, and said: "The Ming army has finally moved, and we can eat a full meal later." ”
Su Ya said: "General, should we start setting fire now?" ”
"Are you a fool, you can't even tell the difference between the Ming army and the horses? What good can you get by setting fire now other than killing one or two probe horses? We worked hard to build a stilted house, so what? Isn't it just to ambush the main force of the Ming army? Listen clearly, wait for the main force of the Ming army to come, and then send a signal for the brothers to do it. Forget it, let me send a signal, with your wisdom it's hard to distinguish between the Tanma and the main force. ”
As Wei Shiri spoke, another wave of cavalry passed, followed by another wave of ......
Wei Shiri said in his heart, this group of Ming troops is really cautious, but as long as they don't enter the stilted building, they won't find our ambush. And even if they wanted to enter the stilted building, they couldn't get in, and if they forced their way in, the end would be very miserable, because there were more than ten bows and arrows aimed at the gate. As long as anyone dares to push open the gate, he will definitely turn into a big hedgehog. This temporary town, which can be attacked and retreated, can be escaped, and the more he thinks about it, the more he admires his clever calculations.
After counting ten horses, the sound of horses' hooves gradually stopped. Su Ya Azha suddenly shouted: "General, something is wrong, many people in the Ming army suddenly took off their shoes and went to the fields, do they want to go around the back of the building to attack us?" ”
Wei Shiri was shocked and hurriedly rushed to the back window to peep, but he immediately laughed and said, "You coward, make a fuss." You see, this Baming army is only a hundred people, where is it to sneak attack us. We have 1,000 soldiers on one side of the building, and these 100 people are not enough for us to fight. I think they must have come to find out if there was an ambush in the paddy fields. It's stupid, is there an ambush in the paddy field, can't you see it clearly at a glance? The Ming army pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and never dared to search the homes of ordinary people under the banner of autumn without committing any crimes. Let's build this stilted building, it seems that it is really right, otherwise no matter where the ambush is, it will definitely be found out by the Ming army. ”
As the two were talking, there was a sudden explosion, and then they heard a "whoosh" sound, and arrows with flames flew towards the stilted building.
The ranged weapons of the Jinyi Guard are mainly firebolts and crossbow arrows, because the training of these two weapons is relatively easy, while the training of archers is more complicated, but firebolts and crossbow arrows can only shoot in a straight line, while bows and arrows can be thrown. In order to make up for the shortcomings of these two weapons, Zhu Youcheng did not force all soldiers to practice crossbow arrows, but according to their interests, they chose crossbow arrows if they were willing to choose crossbow arrows, and chose bows and arrows if they were willing to choose bows and arrows. Of course, there are still many people who choose crossbow arrows, but there are also many people who choose bows and arrows, so in addition to strong crossbows, there are also strong bows and feather arrows in the Jinyi Guard.
The materials of ordinary stilted buildings have been treated with fire prevention, but the stilted buildings in the town were originally used for burning, and now it was the dry wood touching the fire, and the raging fire rose to the sky, and there was a scream in the stilted building.
The house is dead, the man is alive. Naturally, the rebels will not stay in the house and wait for death, knowing that their plot is bankrupt, so why not flee quickly. Some of the rebels opened the door and ran out into the street; Some of the rebels opened the windows and jumped into the paddy fields; The most unfortunate ones are those who are ready to set fires, and they are standing next to the fire-starters, and when the fire heads together, the fire-starters immediately burn and burn them to the point that they are not human-shaped, and if they are burned to death, if they only burn their legs, then they are unlucky, and they can only watch the flames swallow them up little by little. They screamed loudly and called out to their companions for help, but their companions were not enough to take care of themselves, so how could they have time to pay attention to them.
The soldiers who escaped did not have time to rejoice, and were immediately killed by the flying crossbow arrows.
Wei Shiri was horrified and shouted: "Although the bows and arrows of the Ming army are fierce, they can't shoot continuously, as long as they rush to their front, they won't be afraid of their bows and arrows." There is a young man in the ranks of the Ming army, it seems to be very important, let's catch him, and we will be safe. ”
As he spoke, he led the rebels towards the camp of the Jinyi Guard. But the camp of the Jinyi guards was not looking for a good rush, and a group of crossbowmen lined up in a square line, blocking their way.
