Chapter 11: The One-Eyed Pawn

Boom ——! Boom ——!

As the muzzles of the Ming army in the distance burst into large clouds of gunsmoke and sparks, two lead bullets went straight to the city with an unsettling whistling sound. It wasn't until the masonry of a female wall at the head of the city cracked, and another cannonball flew into the city's houses at an angle that the soldiers on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Shen stood at the head of the city, looking at the "soldiers" on the city wall who were still afraid of shelling and muskets, and couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart: This is the boundary of the 'white worm'.

Although it is possible to drill into the human body and fuse it into the brain, Luo Shen's preset memories in the white worm can be used to tamper with the memories of the parasited, and then make them loyal to themselves.

But after all, this is just a transformation of memory.

The parasite can only be more "loyal" because of the part of the memory covered by the white worm, rather than suddenly becoming a monster beyond human combat power.

"Of all the families...... That's pretty bad. Luo Shen scratched his hair, and made up his mind that if he evolved and developed the ability of the clan next time...... Be sure to exchange for an ability that can enhance the combat effectiveness of the family.

Luo Shen thought that the Ming army, which had already fired several rounds of artillery bombardment, seemed to be tired of the ineffective artillery bombardment, and carried the ladder in formation to approach the city.

Luo Shen waved his hand, and the few subordinates on the side who might have some command ability naturally began to direct these temporary soldiers on the city wall to prepare to meet the enemy.

Whoosh——!

Some arrows flew out of the city scattered, but because the Ming army was still far away at this time, these arrows just fell lightly on the open ground.

At this time, the only officer in Luo Shen's "army" who had been on a real battlefield, and before being parasitized, he was simply a blind old man with one eye, commanding more than a dozen shield bearers to surround Luo Shen.

The stairs on both sides of the tower are also densely arranged with many sword and axe hands and shield bearers.

Of course.

This sounds nice, but in reality these so-called axemen and shield bearers are nothing more than "militiamen" who mostly carry rusty swords and makeshift shields made of many large wooden planks from the Binh Duong Treasury.

"Don't shoot arrows! Wait for everyone to shoot together after ten steps of this arrow! The one-eyed old man roared loudly, snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of a young man next to him, withdrew a piece of red cloth from the flag, tied a dead buckle behind the arrow, and shot it with his bow.

Shout~~~

In full view of everyone, the arrow made an arc in the air and landed on the ground.

Because of the relationship between red silk, everyone can see it clearly.

It didn't take long.

The Ming army had already stepped over the arrow, and a large "squeak" sound of drawing the bow and arrow suddenly sounded on the city, but before the order was given, the salvo was fired.

Some of the "makeshift archers" could not resist the force of the bow's rapid opening and let go of their hands.

And when he let go, many others let go of the bowstring thinking that they had not heard the order, and suddenly a mess of arrows shot out like a weak kidney patient.

The shield bearer of the Ming army hurriedly raised the shield in his hand, either in a long strip or in the original form.

Screams rang out one after another.

It's just that most of the arrows only hit the shield, and even with Luo Shen's eyesight, he could clearly see the picture of one of the arrows bouncing off after hitting the iron helmet on the head of a Ming soldier.

The effect of this round of shooting was extremely poor.

But fortunately, most of the people with archery experience did not let go just now, and with an order, these experienced archers suddenly shot the arrows in their hands.

Whoosh——!

A goosebump-inducing sound of arrows breaking through the wind rang out.

This time.

The array of the Ming army was suddenly covered! The dense 'aggressive' sound of the shield and the clanging of the iron helmet or tin masked shield bouncing off was extremely dense. And because the average strength of the bows and arrows in the hands of the archers this time must have been much greater, some shields were shot through, and the gap left after the shielders covered their hands and feet and fell in pain also led to more people being hit by arrows.

On the top of the city.

The experienced one-eyed old man looked at the chaotic archers, and knew in his heart that it would be better to let them shoot freely than to organize another volley, and then gave the order.

Luo Shen watched with interest, he didn't intend to interfere in the command.

For one thing, he didn't know much about military warfare, even the memories that those evil gods were born with to conquer one world after another...... It's just that the evil gods are manipulating their overwhelming and billions of unscrupulous clans to drown out the brainless crushing of the enemy.

Although there are a few evil gods who like to manipulate war in memory, that is an exception, not a natural memory shared by evil gods.

"One-Eyed, what wars have you fought in?" Luo Shen asked after beckoning the one-eyed old man to his side.

This question seemed to remind the one-eyed old man of some terrifying picture.

He was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Lord...... The grass people had participated in the battle against the Jurchens eight years earlier. ”

"The Battle of Sarhu? Huang Taiji? Luo Shen looked interested.

Although he is a novice in history, otherwise he would not use the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" as the information retrieved from the plane, but directly use the real historical background as the information.

But people like Huang Taiji, Chongzhen, and Li Zicheng who are extremely famous in history still know it.

So he asked, "Did you lose?" How did you lose? ”

There was some pain on One-Eye's face, but the memory of the absolute loyalty of the white worm in his brain, which had been completely parasitic in his brain and had become one with it, made him have to recall the experience.

I saw that his lips trembled, and his eyes showed an extremely painful look, but he still said: "The court said that the defeat was because of Lord Yang Hao's guilt. However, a big soldier like me doesn't understand ......."

"However, before the war, there were tens of thousands of empty salaries in Liaodong, and only tens of thousands of actual soldiers were what I saw with my own eyes. The armor in the treasury is rotten, and most of the guns are shoddy of inferior iron, and three or four out of ten guns have to be blown up, and military salaries have been in arrears for many years...... Many people even sell their children to survive...... And how to be undefeated? ”

"How undefeated a good one." Luo Shen tasted the words of this one-eyed man, although it was just a rough experience of a big-headed soldier with what he saw, but it was not the epitome of the entire Ming Dynasty?

The princes of the court sat in the temple one by one, holding the decree instrument, thinking that they were clever and strategizing, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

So they are corrupt, especially those people in Shilin, who think that they are different from the eunuchs and stand out, but in fact, how many of them are not abusing power for personal gain, and have started business in collusion between officials and businessmen?

The walls here are a little thinner and a little shorter.

There are multi-point rebates for the purchase of muskets.

Today, arrange for your relatives to occupy the position of a petty official.

The day after tomorrow, rectify a few disobedient "Diao people".

Where do they understand that it is what they are doing to the detriment of this country!

And these seemingly "small" and "unimportant" injuries to them are accumulating over time, and there are more and more people like them...... In the end, one huge wound after another was opened in the body of this country.

Blood gushed out......

At last.

Because the walls are too thin, they are being dug through, pierced, and bombarded with artillery!

Because the musket in the soldier's hand explodes once more than once, the soldiers dare not fill the chamber with gunpowder, resulting in the projectile having no force after shooting, and even letting the enemy cover his face with his hand when exaggerating!

Because there are too many "queue cutters" arranged over time, those who really have military merits, real ability, and real patriotic enthusiasm are stopped outside that invisible line......

Maybe that line looks high-sounding and sounds legitimate.

Even those who were stopped believed themselves.

It's just that "learning is useless", "desperate is useless", "integrity is useless", and in the end, I also learned those unspoken rules, either I will stumble at the bottom, or I will find another way out.

But in the court, there are countless corpses and vegetarian people, and on the battlefield, everyone retreats, and everyone does not dare to move forward!

Because countless times the lessons of the predecessors have been seen.

Everyone understands that it is better to give a generous donation to the boss than to fight with the enemy.

I want to be a hundred households - five hundred taels of silver!

Want to be a thousand? - Wait! Wait for those who have been replaced by hereditary vacancies, wait for those people in the court to finish the line, and wait for your merit to be the commander...... Let's talk about a thousand households again!

That's right.

There are also some people who are not guilty.

They want to ...... Anyway, those officials, tax collectors, and squires on weekdays are ruthless enough. Outsiders may not be as good as they are! Don't resist - how dangerous it is to be desperately bloody!

How did Salhu lose?

It's such a defeat again.
