The reason why Zhu Youcheng stayed in the bamboo forest and waited for the brocade guards to catch poisonous snakes actually had three purposes. One is to reduce the number of poisonous snakes on the road, so as not to frighten the king of faith; the second is to prepare some gifts for the Emperor of the Apocalypse and others by the way; The third is to wait for the support of the artillery team.

Seeing that the mountains in front of him were getting more and more precipitous, and the road was getting steeper and steeper, Zhu Youcheng was afraid that the power of the fire guns would be affected, and he could not give the rebels a ruining blow, so he simply waited for the artillery to come before setting off together.

The artillery came quickly, but it took half a day to arrive.

The artillery Baihu Weitai really brought all the cannons, even the nine-section steel cannons that had never been before.

Seeing the artillery coming, Zhu Youcheng began to gather his troops and prepare to set off.

Zhu Youcheng counted the harvest, it was really a bumper harvest. A total of 2,563 poisonous snakes were captured by the whole army, including 623 bamboo-leaf green snakes, and even more poisonous snakes and non-poisonous snakes of other species.

Zhu Youcheng accepted them all, regardless of whether they were good or bad.

He asked one of the guards to write down the accounts and wait until he returned to the barracks to prepare the medicine and liquor before cashing it.

Fortunately, Zhu Youcheng reminded that no one in the whole army was bitten by a snake in this snake hunting activity

Seeing this pile of colorful snake corpses, Zhu Youcheng's scalp was numb, and King Xin simply turned his back.

Zhu Youcheng ordered a soldier to return all the snakes to the barracks.

The soldier said in embarrassment: "I am not afraid of the weight of so many snake corpses, but one by one, they are slippery, how can I send them back." ”

Wei Tai had a way, he took the solid shells out of the boxes, vacated a few boxes, and gave them to the soldiers to load snakes.

The box of hollow shells is better, but Weitai does not dare to move, otherwise the shells will roll around. Bumping into the lead, that's no joke.

Zhu Youcheng saw that it was difficult to transport back several boxes of goods, so he re-sent two cavalrymen to send the snake back, and told them to hand over the snake to Yu Jiayan, a famous doctor in the army, and let him make snake wine.

Zhu Youcheng once again felt that it was good to have a famous doctor in the army. Look, how much thought has been saved.

After dealing with the poisonous snake, Jin Yiwei moved forward again.

After a day and a night, the scout confirmed that this was the lair of extravagant Chongming.

Seeing the old nest of luxury Chongming, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I saw that the old nest of Luxe Chongming was located in a cave at the top of the mountain. There is a wide avenue in front of the cave, but it is very steep, and the slope of the road is at least seventy degrees.

The rebels basically didn't have to go head-to-head with the Jinyi Guard, they only needed to push down a few boulders from above. You can smash the Jinyi guard who is climbing the dangerous peak.

Zhu Youcheng gasped, like a toothache.

By the time he lifted his binoculars to see what was going on in the cave, his toothache seemed to worsen.

The cave is at the end of the road, and there are two huge wooden doors at the entrance of the cave, which are very thick at first glance. Although now the gate is open in case the soldiers under the mountain go up the mountain, it can be expected. As soon as the enemy discovers that the soldiers' ascent up the hill is unstoppable, the gate will be closed.

There are many small holes in the gate with black holes. If you think about it with your toes, it must be a shooting hole.

This is some kind of temporary hiding place, it's just a giant turtle shell. To deal with this kind of enemy, it is not a good way to attack strongly, and it is the best policy to divert the tiger away from the mountain. However, Zhu Youcheng has already transferred the tiger once. made Luxury Chongming suffer a big loss. I want to do it again, unless I have water in my brain, and the amount of water has to be very large, I won't be fooled again.

Zhu Youcheng no longer wanted to plan, and was ready to use force to directly bulldoze the remnants of luxury Chongming, so he said: "Weitai, concentrate firepower." Flatten the cave to the official. ”

Wei Tai frowned and said, "Lord Zhu, I'm afraid not, the cave is too high, and our artillery may not be able to reach it." ”

Zhu Youcheng glared at him, and King Xin interjected: "Lord Zhu's words are an order, not a discussion with you. Brother Cheng often said that if there are difficulties, you have to go up, and if you don't have difficulties, you have to make difficulties. Well, it's wrong, it's that there are no difficulties to go up, and if there are difficulties, you have to go up to overcome them. ”

When Wei Tai heard this, he was shocked, and he remembered the military discipline of Jinyi Wei. There is no "why" or "no" in Jinyiwei, there are only two words, "obey".

Wei Tai turned to the front of the convoy and ordered the Jinyi Guard artillery to carry the ten tiger squat cannons out of the car and push the tiger squat cannons towards the cave.

The tiger squat cannon has wheels, the road surface is solid, although the slope is too steep, but it can't stand the strength of the artillery, and the tiger squat cannon slowly moves.

Zhu Youcheng shouted: "What do you want to do? ”

Wei Tai turned around and said, "Follow Lord Zhu's order, push the artillery to the vicinity of the cave and blow up the cave of Extravagant Chongming." ”

"If you can get up, will I let you shoot? Just in the same place, bombard Daliang Mountain for me! I don't believe it, even the cannon can't deal with extravagant Chongming. ”

Wei Tai got the order, raised the muzzle of the Tiger Squat Cannon, aimed at the hole, and ten Tiger Squat Cannons fired at the same time.

"Boom, boom!" After ten loud bangs, nothing happened to the cave, and all the cannonballs were embedded in the lower walls of the cave, as if adding a black pearl necklace to the cave.

"What are you doing? Are you decorating for Yu Chongming, or are you attacking his base? King Shin said dissatisfied.

Wei Tai didn't speak, recalibrated the cannon, and fired again.

This time it was even worse, the shells fell lower than just now.

Wei Tai came back dejectedly and said, "Lord Zhu, there is really no way. The old nest of extravagant Chongming is so high that our cannons can't reach it at all. If our cannons could be raised a little higher, we would still be able to hit them. ”

"Raise a little?" Zhu Youcheng smiled bitterly, and said that he couldn't find a lift to raise the fort, even if he found the elevator, with the recoil of the current cannon, if one shot went down, the elevator would definitely collapse.

He looked around for high ground where he could make a fort.

Suddenly, he noticed a mountain rising from the ground on the left and right sides of the cave, and the highest part of the mountain was level with the cave. Of course, the peak and the cave are not on the same mountain, and the distance is a bit far.

Zhu Youcheng pointed to the peak of the mountain and asked, "If you push the cannon to that position, can you hit the cave?" ”

Wei Tai looked at the distance between the two, calculated silently for a long time, and said: "My lord, the distance is too far, the tiger squat cannon can't hit at all, and besides, the tiger squat cannon is too heavy, and the mountain peak is too steep to be transported." ”

Zhu Youcheng hatefully hammered a big tree beside him and said, "Do you just let go of the scourge of luxury Chongming?" ”

When the soldiers of Jinyiwei heard this, they all blew up.

They rushed to Sichuan with thousands of mountains and rivers, and worked hard to find the nest of luxury Chongming, but they wanted to give up after seeing the victory, so the hard work of these months was not in vain? And the revenge of those blood-related comrades-in-arms who sacrificed on the road, who to revenge?

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were enthusiastic and asked for battle.

Zhu Youcheng saw that the soldiers were not afraid of hardships and sacrifices, and his heart was moved.

What a good soldier in front of him, knowing that he would die in this attack on the mountain, but he fought bravely one by one, with such a soldier, why worry that the Ming Dynasty could not be stable for 10,000 years?

But the more this is the case, the more we can't afford to sacrifice lightly. These warriors are seeds, and when they grow, they are aspen trees that can take root in the frontier and protect from wind and sand. They must be the backbone of the future army of the Ming Dynasty, and they can lead other soldiers to defend the country together.

If they die here, it will take a long time to cultivate such soldiers.

However, history did not leave Zhu Youcheng too long. According to historical records, eighteen years later, Shenzhou Lu sank, and the barbaric Jiannu entered the customs, setting off a bloody storm. Zhu Youcheng wanted to lead these soldiers to block the way south for Jiannu, and protect Chinese culture from such a tragic fault in the original history.

Jin Yiwei is not afraid of sacrifice, but it depends on whether the sacrifice is meaningful.

Although Extravagant Chongming is the source of the turmoil in Sichuan, after all, it is the end of the crossbow, and it doesn't matter if he kills them all, let them survive for a long time, it will not have much impact on the current good situation in Sichuan and Guizhou.

While pondering, Zhu Youcheng suddenly found that Jiang Ting, Feng Dingbang, and Chu Liang were not among the people who asked for battle. I saw the three of them with their backs to the crowd, their shoulders twitching, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but be furious, these two timid things wouldn't be scared and crying. Usually there are five people and six people, and they look so heroic when they bully the rebels with firearms, but now when it's time to sacrifice, they are scared like this? (To be continued......)
