Chapter 9: The Secret Weapon
Dear, come to a few collection recommendations, you keep useless things, it means a lot to Xiaofei, click on the "Add to Bookshelf" option, it won't take you a few minutes, but it is a very important achievement for Xiaofei, thank you
"I have too many things to learn from my father, Yizi, you take Ningzi to camp, Xiaofei, Xiaokun, Changchun, and outside the border you go to get rations, monks, sighing porridge, Chen Cheng, Xingzi, you come with me"
In the evening, after a satisfied observation of the location where he had set up camp, Li Rusong began a new round of busyness, he planned to assemble the secret weapon he had brought with him, and prepare for a war that might come at any time.
With Xu Kuiji's subordinates being killed on the spot by Li Rusong, and Li Chengliang personally ordered all accomplices to be spared, and sufficient food was equally distributed to each soldier, the entire dangerous mountain fortress was easily pocketed by the Li family's father and son.
This unit that transported supplies had been staying in the nearby military village, waiting for reinforcements to clear the Jurchens, but Li Chengliang picked up a big bargain: 300 soldiers and 200 auxiliaries in escort vehicles, which greatly alleviated the problem of shortage of troops.
Following his father's rectification, Li Rusong opened his eyes, his father Li Chengliang is worthy of being a hereditary military attache and the hegemon of the Tieling horse bandits, the placement of soldiers, the treatment of wounded soldiers, the distribution of grain and grass, the arrangement of sentinels, etc., everything was arranged in an orderly manner in a short period of time.
All this made Li Rusong extremely admired, although he relied on the golden finger of the traverser and a little cleverness and planning, to a certain extent, he helped his father become a general. But in the general direction of arranging troops and commanding the army, he is an out-and-out rookie compared to his father, and he needs to learn more in the future.
After reorganization, the entire dangerous mountain can be a soldier, plus the soldiers brought by himself and his father, the total strength is about 1,700 people, and nearly 1,000 people are assigned to auxiliary logistics because of physical weakness, injuries and other reasons, Li Rusong took his ten hair children to form a team alone, and they also have their own duties!
"Alas, I really didn't expect that this dilapidated military village has been holding on to the present until now, and it is actually a fucking businessman? Listen, now that Xu Kui has been killed by us, and those businessmen who have made a fortune have also left, it is estimated that the Jurchen army will be killed tomorrow at the latest. Everyone is quick with their hands and feet, and whether they can live to be a big official and marry a wife depends on us. Now everyone do as I instruct" Sitting in the huge tent that had just been set up, Li Rusong looked at the ten brothers in front of him and said with a serious face.
Just now, Li Rusong asked the dangerous mountain army village on a whim, relying on more than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals, and an idiot like Xu Kui, how did he persist under the fierce Jurchen iron hooves. The result made him laugh: because of a caravan!
Liaodong has been regarded as a bitter cold land in the Central Plains since ancient times, with almost no farming and planting, and the Jurchens living here almost completely lived a primitive life of hunting and gathering, and there was a serious shortage of daily necessities. In addition to looting, all daily necessities need to be bartered with caravans, and even weapons that were forbidden to be delivered to the grasslands in the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, the caravan is the only existence that will not be robbed, and even sends troops to protect the caravan that appears in its territory every time to prevent it from being attacked by horse bandits.
And a few days ago, there was such a caravan, entrenched in the dangerous mountain military village, buying grain and gold, ginseng and furs from Liaodong specialties, it was the existence of this caravan that made the Jurchens' iron hooves not set foot here, this is wandering around.
Unfortunately, on the day Li Rusong and his father arrived, the caravan left......
"Enemy attack!" Just when Li Rusong was busy assembling his secret weapon with his brothers, there was a sudden bang sound in the direction of the city gate watchtower, followed by a terrible roar - the tartar is coming!
"Lao Xu! Take your people to protect Rusong and tell him that labor and management can still hold on, and do his job with peace of mind! Li Chengliang, who had been sitting in the tent with his eyes closed, jumped up as soon as he heard the alarm, grabbed the long knife next to him, rushed out of the camp, and shouted to Xu Ding on the left as he ran.
"Whoa!" Xu Ding didn't say anything, and ran towards Li Rusong's camp with a team of fifteen people, and Pan Bao, the leader of the horse bandits on the other side, led more than 100 horse bandits under his command to follow Li Chengliang closely and ran towards the city wall.
"Rusong, you're fine, right?" Running to Li Rusong's tent, Xu Ding arranged his defense, walked into the tent and asked with concern.
"Hehe, Uncle Xu, don't worry, I know what to do" Contrary to Xu Ding's expectations, Li Rusong sat quietly in the tent, and was quickly assembling a large number of "small burdens" with the little brothers step by step, there were no candles in the tent, just relying on the faint moonlight lighting from the top.
"Uncle Xu, you let the uncle outside prepare, and in half the time of the incense injection, all the rudimentary versions of the 'Ten Thousand Enemies' will be assembled, and we will lure the Tartars over to fight!" Ma Li wrapped a large piece of torn cotton cloth with a piece of gunpowder, cotton, and broken iron to make a small number of 10,000 enemies, and Li Rusong stuffed 10,000 enemies into a bamboo tube, and added a lead seal, and a simple "grenade" was ready.
Sigh porridge and Han Bianwai are doing something even more terrifying: explosive packs! The method is simpler, wrapping a whole bed of cotton with straw, gunpowder, and soaking in fire oil by the way.
The rest of the people were busy working to sort the large number of finished weapons into clay pots and large urns dedicated to storing weapons. In the corner of the tent, these terrible weapons had been piled up on a hill.
"Tsk! The last time I went out with my dad to get a tartar, I found that it was not difficult to make firearms, but how to improve accuracy and lethality. Don't worry, Uncle Xu, these little things will definitely surprise the Jurchen Tartars! Finally assembled the last "grenade", Li Rusong stood up, picked up the waist knife beside him, and said easily, as if he was going to a grand banquet.
"Goo! There are so many '10,000 enemies', and private goods have been added, and the Tartars are in trouble this time! Looking at the nearly one million enemies in the tent, Xu Ding couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this is a terrifying weapon made of 100 catties of gunpowder, if these guys all smash their brains on the heads of the Jurchen Tartars? I guess, it's estimated that there will be no life.
Li Rusong is very excited now, with the assistance of his father, he removed almost all the two hundred catties of explosives from the Tieling Acropolis Ordnance Institute, in order to avenge Uncle Gu for this day! Make the vile, cruel Jurchen Tartars pay!
"Hey Uncle Xu, I'll go to the city wall to play, Monk Wang, Ningzi, Xiaofei, Xingzi, you come with me, sigh, porridge, Yizi, you take Changchun, Kunzi, Bianwai, Chen Cheng to carry these things!" After arranging for his brothers to carry these dangerous things, Li Rusong took Seng Lingqin, Li Ning, Du Fei, and Yan Xing, the four guys who like to fight the most, and walked towards the city wall.
"Whew! Brothers, tonight we have a feast on the eighteenth floor of hell! Taking a deep breath of the cold air of the night in Liaodong, Li Rusong raised his head sharply and shouted loudly.
"Kill!" Behind him, Monk Greenqin and the other four people roared with Li Rusong without hesitation, although there were only five teenagers, the momentum of the roar pierced the dark night sky in an instant!
"Tonight is destined to be a blood-red night!"
