Chapter 077: Bai Zong, they seem to have surrendered
Chapter 077
In fact, the worst of war is always the common people.
Don't look at Kong Youde, in order to obtain food and money, he aimed his main goals at the gentry and landlords. The problem, however, is that in such clearly targeted attacks, it is always ordinary people who suffer.
The Deng family's compound in Zhaoyuan County, counting the first landlord's compound to be breached by Kong Youde's department, the Deng family's floating wealth and grain were robbed. Although seventy-four people died in the Deng family, the problem is that the Zhaoyuan Deng family has not been exterminated, and the Deng family's Nanshan House is usually the weakest, and it is not visible, and it is not even qualified to live in the Deng family's old mansion.
Deng Chaoxian, who was sent to the Nanshan House in charge of family production in Huang County, learned that Kong Youde led his subordinates to attack the Deng family compound, however, began to liquidate.
Regardless of whether they received Kong Youde's food at that time, or whether there were fewer people in the family, they were all framed as slaves. Especially Zheng Laoshi in the next village, his eldest son Zheng Dagui was sick two years ago and had no money for treatment, so he didn't carry it in the end. Zheng Dagui, who died of illness for two years, was still framed as a thief.
Zheng Laoshi's family of five was sentenced to death by hanging. As a result, Zheng Laoshi's family's fields and property were quickly divided. Just like dozens of big families and Haoqiang in Zhaoyuan County were captured by Kong Youde's army, but some of them were not exterminated, so they naturally used their influence and power to reverse black and white, make something out of nothing, and forcibly seize and pass on their losses to the people.
This is like a very classic case in later generations, in the field of herbal tea, it is basically Jia Duo Bao, Wang Lao Ji and He Qi Zheng three points of the world, Wang Lao Ji and Jia Duo Bao compete, but it is gone.
In fact, this just represents a truth, weakness is the original sin.
In history, whenever the wolf clan in the north of the Central Plains Dynasty encountered a white plague or a black plague on the grassland, the people of the northern counties would definitely be unlucky. Because the wolf clan on the grassland suffered natural disaster losses, they will pass it on to the people in the north.
Of course, there are exceptions, in the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, the Eastern Turks encountered a rare blizzard, Jieli Khan led more than a dozen Eastern Turks to the south, and then Li Jing led three thousand Tang troops to attack Yinshan at night, and the Eastern Turks were gone, and Jieli Khan danced for Li Shimin.
Relatively speaking, the common people will always be a vulnerable group, even if the landlords and the powerful suffer from the military disaster, as long as they are not exterminated, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the people will definitely suffer in the end.
Refugees are the vane of the enemy's attack, although Kong Youde's strength has skyrocketed, but his more than 1,000 cavalry has also been dragged down, and the refugees can always rush into their own defense line one step ahead of the enemy. These ordinary people must have been frightened, they all fled for their lives, the children could not find their parents, the mothers could not find their children, the old people were helpless, and the crying all the way was shocking.
When a large number of refugees from Zhaoyuan poured into the territory of Laizhou Prefecture, Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, panicked, and he hurriedly asked Sun Yuanhua for help in Dengzhou Prefecture.
Sun Yuanhua's method of handling this matter was to write nine words on the official document of Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, asking for help: "I have read it, and I will deal with it by Cheng Shijie".
Cheng Shijie, who was originally going to hold a swearing-in ceremony for Shen Mingyu, the front unit of the Ning Navy, on the dock of Penglai Water City, could only temporarily change his plan after seeing this official document.
Of course, Cheng Shijie actually has no bottom. In the large battalion outside Penglai Water City, there are only more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, including more than 1,000 new soldiers.
Although there are more recruits under Kong Youde, the number of people is more, especially the capture of Zhaoyuan Gold Mine and Zhaoyuan County, as well as dozens of landlord compounds, Kong Youde's command has changed guns.
Although the landlord Haoqiang has armor and does not have much equipment, they are equipped with knives, guns, bows and arrows, guns and artillery in the courtyard and the courtyard, but the quality of the equipment is better than that of the Ming standard equipment in the guardhouse.
In this case, with more than 3,000 soldiers, only less than 2,000 veterans took the initiative to attack Kong Youde's department, which had more than 15,000 horses, Cheng Shijie now has no absolute certainty of victory.
Cheng Shijie's help to the Right Capital Division of the Ning Navy was limited, but in later generations, he had extremely strict control over weapons and equipment, and if it was in a beautiful country, it would be simple.
Cheng Shijie can buy a few points five zeros, points three zeros, or even too many through scattered transportation, just a few pieces.
However, the problem is that Cheng Shijie has no way to get these things.
In desperation, Cheng Shijie had no choice but to return to the afterlife and buy sixty liters of gasoline, which was the most lethal weapon he could get.
Waiting for sixty liters of gasoline to be brought over, Cheng Shijie was very weak at this time: "Come on, get some food for Ben Shuai!" ”
"Yes!"
This is a lot of trouble, the guards just got the dishes sent by Yang Yunniang, these are the two dishes she carefully cooked for Cheng Shijie, one dish is stewed dried mushrooms with a small rooster, and the other is a fish. She first put the fish head in a pan and fried it until browned, then put it in a casserole and simmered it, and then concentrated on fighting the fish body.
Under Yang Yunniang's careful cooking, one chicken, one fish and two home-cooked dishes are even more out of the pot, and Cheng Shijie still carries a warm food box when he opens the lid, and immediately smells the tempting fragrance, which is mouth-watering.
It is said that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach. Now Yang Yunniang is working in this direction.
Cheng Shijie's chopsticks were like the wind, as if he was fighting, the autumn wind swept the leaves, swept away the two dishes and the big bowl of rice for two people, and recovered his strength, Cheng Shijie took it directly to the camp of the Right Capital Division of the Ning Navy.
"Meet the Commander!"
"Excuse me!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Blow the trumpet and gather." ”
With Cheng Shijie's order, the trumpeters began to blow the rallying horn.
"Woo ......"
The whining sound was majestic and agitated, and it went straight to the clouds. Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the 3,000 people immediately gathered around their respective sentry commanders, lined up in columns, and gathered at Cheng Shijie's general flag at the fastest speed under the leadership of the sentry commander, and the movements were fast and orderly, and none of the more than 3,000 people in the large camp made a sound, which was also rare, which showed how effective Ning Haijun's training for them had been in the past few months.
After only one pillar of incense, more than 3,000 people from the Right Capital Division of the Ning Navy were assembled.
With Sun Yuanhua's equipment depot, the Ning Navy is no longer an army composed of grass platform teams, at least 70% of the armor has been achieved.
As for why the other 30% don't wear armor, it's not that Cheng Shijie doesn't have armor, the main thing is that these soldiers are all thunderbolts or artillerymen, wearing iron armor, the armor blades are strong, and the collision armor blades will produce sparks, for these soldiers who play artillery or thunderbolts, this is simply a joke with their lives.
More than 3,000 soldiers, with long spears like a forest, are well arrayed, and their morale is high.
After the naval mutiny, and quickly took Dengzhou City and Penglai Water City, this army has undergone earth-shaking changes, and in the eyes of these Ning Navy soldiers, they are the first in the world.
"Do you know why Ben Shuai changed his itinerary and plans to rally you?"
"I don't know!"
Cheng Shijie looked at the soldiers and said, "Do you remember the duties of a soldier?" ”
"Remember, defend the country and protect the border and the people!"
"Very well, you have not forgotten your duties!"
Cheng Shijie continued: "Now Kong Youde of the Dongjiang Army has rebelled, among them, some people may know this Kong Er, he is very fierce and very capable of fighting, and now he is leading tens of thousands of troops to attack Laizhou City, are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid!"
The officers and men of the Ning Navy said in unison, in the usual battle against bandits, the officers and men of the Ning Navy were wolves with more meat and less meat, and some soldiers were unlucky and could not even catch hair. But now Kong Youde has tens of thousands of troops, so this is a fat sheep, which is also a field and silver.
Although it is said that after Cheng Shijie gave an order to all the officers and men of the Ning Navy to move to southern Liaoning, these soldiers from the Dongjiang Army were suddenly excited.
You know, they have been forced to leave their homes for more than ten years, and now they finally have the opportunity to return home. Don't look at the soldiers from the Dongjiang Army, they belong to the category of recruits in the Ningbo Naval Army.
However, the problem is that these so-called recruits are actually fake recruits, many of them have been fighting with Jiannu for several years, more than ten years, and when they were in the Dongjiang Army before, they were too poor, neither had enough to eat, nor did they have the guys to take advantage of, and they were very aggrieved that they couldn't beat Jiannu.
Now, their equipment has been greatly improved, and each soldier has a spear, a crossbow machine, and a dog-legged knife, and these sophisticated equipment are in hand, and they are confident that they can fight with the most elite white-armored soldiers in Jiannu.
Cheng Shijie said a little eagerly: "Don't hide it from you, the original plan was to lead the others to arrive in southern Liaoning by boat, but it's a pity, Kong Youde, the bastard, began to make trouble, he disrupted the plan of the marshal, and also delayed the trip home of many soldiers, now I order, Ning Haijun Right Division, the whole army goes straight to Laizhou Mansion to annihilate the rebels." Let's go. ”
The Ning Navy soldiers, who were heavily armed and armed to the teeth, lined up in a neat line and began to walk in the direction of Laiyang.
Raising their legs neatly and landing neatly, the soldiers of the Ning Navy walked towards the battlefield with the unique temperament of the Ning Navy.
Laizhou Mansion, Linguo Town.
Linguo, as the name suggests, is about a name similar to the later Chengxiang Township or Chengguan Town. This Chengguo town borders Zhaoyuan County in the east and Ye County in the west.
As a town close to the capital city and transportation arteries, Linguo Town has a population of more than 6,000 people, and even in later generations, it is a prosperous town.
But it's a pity that this is a town, and the so-called town has no walls. Because of the development of commerce, it is convenient to expand and transportation at any time, and this advantage is simply the worst result in troubled times.
At this time, in this bustling town, black pillars of smoke soared into the air, and the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the stone streets of Linguo Town was extremely clear.
The whole town was in flames, there were burning, looting, and wailing for mercy, and the streets were littered with the corpses of the people who had been slain by Ou.
Kong Youde was wearing cotton armor decorated with copper and iron nails and inlaid with iron sheets, and a pair of sharp eyes stared viciously at this town that was on fire everywhere, although he said that he gathered more than 1,300 cavalry under his command, threw off the large army, and succeeded in sneaking up on Linguo Town in Ye County, but the problem was that this town was too big, and it was impossible for more than 1,300 people to surround the town.
There are many wealthy families in the town, after hearing the name of Kong Youdewei, these wealthy families resisted while breaking through, and finally three or four hundred people fled to the county seat of Ye County, that is, the Laizhou Mansion thirty miles away.
Having lost the suddenness of the attack on Ye County, Kong Youde knew very well that it would be difficult to defeat the county seat of Ye County.
Thinking that he had been troubled by Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, Kong Youde was very angry, Zhu Wannian, the prefect, was the fourth rank of civil officials, and he was the general of the third grade, but Zhu Wannian originally did not have the prefect who was in charge of the army, but he could jam Kong Youde's neck everywhere, because he could not take revenge immediately, Kong Youde vented his anger on Linguo Town.
Originally, Kong Youde's military discipline was poor, especially from more than 1,000 people to more than 15,000 people, this is actually the result of Kong Youde's intentional control, as long as he is young and strong, that is, over 16 years old and under 40 years old, otherwise his troops may really break through 20,000 or 30,000 people, or even 40,000 horses.
From this point of view, the people of Shandong have suffered from the Shandong gentry and Haoqiang for too long.
With Kong Youde's order not to seal the knife, the people of the entire Linguo Town can suffer, they are not like the powerful people who have horses in their hands, they can't run away from the cavalry under Kong Youde, and they can't fight the opponent of the cavalry under Kong Youde.
A mansion that seems to be a small area, with the help of the Neiying family, was successfully broken by the rebels of Kong Youde, and the huge mansion immediately heard the women's pleading, crying, and men's screams and begging for mercy.
It's just that all this is in vain, and the Kong Youde army, which has become a beast, has lost its last conscience and moral bottom line.
When they entered the compound, they were filled with slain servants, servants, and older women.
In many rooms, the unbridled smiles of Kong Youde's soldiers were heard, faintly accompanied by bursts of mournful cries.
"Dashuai!"
At this time, a thin woman wearing a small cowhide armor bowed to Kong Youde.
This woman's name is Qiao Siniang, when Kong Youde broke through the Deng family's compound, he rescued him from the firewood room, Qiao An'er was because his father Qiao Meng was diligent and thrifty, and he made a fortune by dyeing cloth, and made some money after years of hard work.
As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Qiao Mengde's family wealth attracted the peep of the Deng family, and the Deng family set up a bureau to introduce Qiao Mengde's old son, Qiao Siniang's sixth brother Qiao Pu, into the bureau. Qiao Pu was deceived by the Deng family's casino and lost everything, and Qiao Pu, who was red-eyed, borrowed a gambling debt of 2,000 taels of silver from the Deng family.
After the profits, Qiao Mengde could not repay the debt even if he sold all the family property, and when he saw Qiao Pu being cut by the Deng family for seventeen or eighteen yuan and sent to Qiao's family, Qiao Mengde was angry on the spot. And Qiao Siniang was caught and tortured by the Deng family, because Qiao Mengde, as a rich generation, is also a ruthless person.
He burned the secret recipe for dyeing cloth at home, as well as all the cloth in stock, although the Deng family had pain in the thousands of horses of the Qiao family, but they burned it, but the recipe for dyeing cloth was determined to win. It's a pity that Qiao Siniang doesn't know the secret recipe of the Qiao family's dyeing cloth.
After being tortured for a long time, Qiao Siniang was rescued by Kong Youde.
Even as a woman, Qiao Siniang turned a blind eye to the screams of the women around her, and she even thought that all the big families and heroes deserved to die.
Qiao Siniang even controlled several handsome-looking young women in this compound and handed them over to Kong Youde.
Kong Youde is not a saint, he is also a villain.
When Kong Youde entered the main house in the inner courtyard, a woman's screams immediately sounded inside.
At this moment, a cavalryman of the Dongjiang Army walked towards the compound.
When passing by the Hanging Flower Gate, Qiao Siniang stretched out her hand to stop the general: "You can't go in!" ”
"Urgent military intelligence!"
Qiao Siniang looked at the house and said, "Dashuai, you are on the rise, you can go!" ”
"I ......"
This general has been with Kong Youde for more than six years, and knowing Kong Youde's temper, if he rushes to go now, he will have to lose two taels of flesh on his body.
I felt a chill between my legs: "I'll wait!" ”
After more than half an hour, Kong Youde pushed the door out.
He looked at his henchman at the door and asked, "Something?" ”
"The officers and soldiers are coming!"
"Coming?"
Kong Youde smiled slightly: "Isn't it just an officer and soldier who will be defeated with one blow?" What are you afraid of? ”
"It's the Ning Navy!"
"It's kind of interesting!"
Kong Youde smiled faintly: "Ben Shuai has long heard that the fat man in the process is this person, he is a seed, and he actually disagreed and took Dengzhou City down." Siniang! ”
"The last general!"
"You go and pick something for Cheng Fatzi from the materials we have seized, silver...... Eight thousand taels, you can't take it if you don't have it, and now Ben Shuai has found out that the silver can neither be eaten nor drunk, it is completely useless! ”
Kong Youde was not afraid of Cheng Shijie, but because his lips were cold and his teeth were cold.
Don't look at Kong Youde's easy words, Shandong is the heavy garrison area of the Ming Dynasty, with more than 200,000 troops, although there are many vacancies, he knows better what kind of goods he has under his command of more than 15,000 elite troops.
Once the imperial court reacted and transferred troops from Henan, Nanjing, and Beizhili, he couldn't bear it at all, and in Cheng Shijie, a big thief, he was just a pediatrician.
Cheng Shijie occupied Dengzhou City and captured Sun Yuanhua alive, once the imperial court moved, Cheng Shijie would be the first to block, Kong Youde also wanted Cheng Shijie to block him in front.
Qiao Siniang quickly found a gift for Cheng Shijie, a total of more than 8,000 taels of silver, 2,000 stone of grain, and antique calligraphy and paintings, more than 30 cars.
Under the protection of more than 1,000 troops, more than 30 large vehicles got on the cars and drove in the direction where Ning Haijun had arrived.
……
Daqushe Township, Qixia County, Dengzhou Prefecture.
It is not far from Zhaoyuan County, and a large number of refugees fled in the direction of Qixia County, and the endless refugee teams cried and cried.
These refugees occupied the official road, which really affected the speed of the Ning Navy's march. Looking at the increasing number of refugees, at the end of the refugee flow is the sky-high flames rising from the burning villages and towns......
Seeing more and more columns of smoke rushing high, Cheng Shijie's face was difficult to see.
Whether it is Kong Youde or Wu Sangui in later generations, someone has whitewashed them, and Qin Hui, who has been kneeling for thousands of years, also wants to stand up. Cheng Shijie was very unhappy, and now he finally feels the taste of power.
But at the same time, Cheng Shijie was also very indignant, Kong Youde was even more cunning than he imagined, he actually evolved into an alternative team, especially the actions of distributing grain and destroying land deeds and burning IOUs, which were much more clever than Li Zicheng's methods.
Li Zicheng is still a general under Gao Yingxiang, and Gao Yingxiang is the king of the 36th battalion, Gao Yingxiang's rebellion has no technical content, and he only knows how to use force to coerce the people to join, but Kong Youde is very clever, his headquarters originally did not have many people, and there was too much food that could not be eaten and taken away.
As there were more and more tribulations, Kong Youde scattered the tribals and went out, and the scope of influence became larger and larger.
Cheng Shijie said: "Let the soldiers in front drive the people to the side of the road, let's speed up the march!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Yu also understands Cheng Shijie's good intentions, and now the Ning Navy is also dividing its forces to fight, especially in the southern Liaoning direction, where it is more important. This is related to whether the Ning Navy can gain a foothold in southern Liaoning.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
As the officers and men of the Ning Navy drove away, the refugees were forced to walk to the side of the road, and then soon after, five horse-drawn carriages were parked on the official road, blocking the way of the Ning Navy.
I saw that there were some women in the carriage, these women looked at the Ning Navy soldiers who were walking slowly, and they were so frightened that they cried, and one of them, a woman in her thirties, cried so much that it rained.
This should be the wife and concubine of a large family, thinking that they are exploiting the family and servants too much, and at the critical moment, these family members and servants directly threw the carriage on the side of the road, and they pointed at several women, looking like they were watching a good show.
The military discipline of the Ming Dynasty is really bad, when you meet such a delicate beauty, not to mention the military discipline, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't stop them, and the surrounding refugees and a few people who look like family members are waiting to see a good show.
More than a dozen Ning Navy soldiers stepped forward and surrounded the carriage, and several women cried louder.
At this moment, more than a dozen Ning Navy soldiers rushed to the carriage together.
The surrounding refugees also cheered: "That's right! ”
"Rip her clothes!"
"Take off her pants!"
"Touch her!"
"Straight her!"
Since ancient times, it is never too much to watch the excitement.
It's just that the performance of the Ning Navy soldiers disappointed these refugees and their families, and these Ning Navy soldiers just walked to the carriage and moved the carriage to the side of the road.
The marching procession of the Ning Navy soldiers continued to advance, they raised their legs neatly and landed neatly, and they didn't even look at the panicked women.
Not far away, a carriage was found to have flipped over, and a silver box rolled down from the carriage, and dozens of silver ingots in the silver box fell to the ground, which looked extremely dazzling under the sunlight.
However, the Ning Navy soldiers turned a blind eye and continued to march.
Because every soldier of the Ning Navy knows that what should not be seen cannot be seen, and what cannot be touched must not be touched.
The marching speed of the Ning Navy is very fast, although Cheng Shijie has not completed the construction of mules and horses for the Ning Navy because he lacks mules and horses.
According to Cheng Shijie's plan, to complete the huge supply convoy of carriages, at least 400 four-wheeled carriages and at least 800 horses or mules are needed. Not to mention that Cheng Shijie has no money, even if he has money, he has no place to buy so many horses and mules.
However, after the Ning Navy occupied Dengzhou City, the Ning Navy had more than 500 war horses, but because Shen Mingyu's subordinates needed war horses more, Cheng Shijie could only transfer the war horses there as the vanguard of the first wave of attacks on southern Liaoning.
However, the speed of Ning's march still stunned almost everyone, because it started from the camp outside Penglai Water City in Dengzhou, passed through Qixia County and then to Linglong Town in Zhaoyuan County.
The whole journey is more than two hundred and forty miles, the last time it took Ning Haijun four days, this time they only took two days, and Linglong Town already belonged to Zhaoyuan.
However, after a long march of more than 240 miles, the Ning Navy also became exhausted.
Just when Cheng Shijie saw that it was getting late and was about to order camping, he received a message from the scout: "Report! ”
"Speak!"
"There was an urgent military situation, and the lowly rank arrived to reconnoitre, and found that the rebel Lou Jian of Kong Youde led a thousand men and horses to attack Crouching Tiger Village."
Before the war, Cheng Shijie had learned through the Yamen of the governor of Dengzhou Mansion that Kong Youde, the cavalry general, had three major soldiers under his command, namely Li Shao'an, Zhao Wencai, and Lou Jian. Among them, Lou Jian, whose real name is Lou Shishi, was Kong Youde's co-worker when he was absent from work, and he took care of Kong Youde at that time.
But Lou Jian is a stunned person, his head is not very bright, and his reaction is half a beat slower than others, but he is ferocious and bloodthirsty.
Cheng Shijie walked to the map and found the location of Crouching Tiger Village, which in later generations already belonged to the urban area of Zhaoyuan City, but it was an industrial area in the suburbs, with a large number of gold processing factories and chemical plants, building materials factories and other places.
"Liu Qingsong"
"In!"
"You take the people of your headquarters and go to the vicinity of Crouching Tiger Village to attract this group of rebels!"
"Yes!"
Liu Qingsong received the military order and immediately set off with more than 300 people under his command.
If Crouching Tiger Village can persist until now, thanks to the fact that there is an iron factory here, with the turbulent situation, the demand for weapons of large families has increased greatly, and the iron craftsman of Crouching Tiger Village has just bought more than 50,000 catties of steel from Cheng Shijie's steel mill half a month ago, and the price of these steels is cheap, which makes the iron factory in Wohu Zhuang recruit more than 200 craftsmen.
Their iron factory has 60 small furnaces and more than 400 craftsmen, and they make a batch of knives, and before they can deliver them, Lou Jian will attack Crouching Tiger Village with bandits.
Although Crouching Tiger Village has already been breached, this ironware factory has a tall courtyard wall, covering an area of more than 100 acres, which is not as strong as the courtyard of the wealthy family, but Sun Jingtang, the proprietor of this ironware factory, is a benevolent and righteous person, he eats meat himself, but gives soup to the craftsmen.
The craftsmen who worked in the ironworks were able to eat enough to eat, although they were not paid much every month, and in this day and age, it was actually difficult to find another boss like this.
In order to save their jobs, the craftsmen fought fiercely against these rebellions.
The blacksmith has blades and more than 400 blacksmiths, and being a blacksmith in this era is not good without gravity and strength.
In particular, the burning coke in the furnace of the ironware factory is directly shoveled and thrown out on the shovel, like a goddess scattering flowers, and it is a large piece when it is burned.
These rebels attacked more than a dozen times, but all of them failed without exception.
When Liu Qingsong came to Crouching Tiger Village with three hundred Ning naval soldiers, he found that the situation was wrong, there were more than 1,000 rebels here, and there were almost two or three thousand more people in Ning's navy.
Liu Qingsong looked at these chaotic men, he didn't know that after Lou Jian's failed attack on the ironsmith, he proposed to join forces with other rebel leaders.
At this time, Kong Youde's army was expanding too quickly, and the captured equipment was far from enough to meet the demand, so this Sun's Iron Factory was very important.
Through interrogation of the people of Crouching Tiger Village, they have learned that Sun's Iron Factory has tens of thousands of catties of iron, which can make seven or eight thousand knives, which is too important for Kong Youdebu.
They are also determined to win, but some of the rebels who are busy robbing everywhere receive Lou Jian's letter, some ignore it, and some are smart but willing to cooperate with Lou Jian, because he is Kong Youde's confidant.
In this way, Lou Jian's attack on Sun's Iron Factory exceeded 3,000 troops, and it continued to increase.
How to lure the enemy?
Liu Qingsong also had a headache.
His gaze fell on the thunderbolt beside him.
As the general manager of Bai, Liu Qingsong's department also has a fire support post, with a total of eight Thunderbolt vehicles.
"Thunderbolt move forward, empty a disc, let's retreat!"
In Liu Qingsong's mind, eight discs and two hundred and fourteen lead bullets hit it, and these rebels will definitely die a hundred or ten people, they will definitely pursue this small army, and once they pursue, it will be easy to do.
When Liu Qingsong's soldiers approached Crouching Tiger Village in the night, these rebels, who did not have unified command and clothing, saw Liu Qingsong's troops coming, and thought that it was an officer who led the troops.
The sentry didn't ask, no one came to investigate, and the rebels even pointed out to Liu Qingsong where Lou Jian was, outside the gate of Sun's Iron Factory, a high platform that seemed to be singing.
General Liu Qingsong took the opportunity to ask: "Junior brother Liu Qingsong, I have never seen General Lou, I don't know who General Lou is?" ”
"That's it, the one with the scar on the face!"
Under the identification of Kong Youde's rebels, Liu Qingsong was ecstatic in his heart: "God help me ...... too"
Liu Qingsong's naval soldiers, less than 100 steps away from Lou Jian's position, began to quickly line up, the crossbow machine was wound, and the thunderbolt set up a firing position.
All the work is busy, and the preparation is complete.
"Wow......"
"Bang ......"
Liu Qingsong's naval soldiers were in full force, and as the triggers of the crossbow machine and the thunderbolt were pulled, the continuous metal trills and the roar of the thunderbolt when it was fired rang out.
Although the crossbow machine and the thunderbolt are launched at the same time, the muzzle velocity of the crossbow machine is low, which is far less high than the muzzle velocity of the thunderbolt, and the range is longer.
As the pipes of the thunderbolts spewed out orange-red fires, which were very obvious in the darkness, almost all the rebels looked in this direction.
And then......
With the deafening sound of thunder, a large cloud of blood suddenly exploded on the rebel soldiers' bodies, and they screamed, hissed, and fell with a bang.
Large swaths of rebel soldiers were shot by the guns and were almost swept away.
Lou Zhu was almost shocked by the sudden sound of the gun, as an old soldier, his first reaction was not that the official army called, he thought: "Hell, what kind of fire gun is this, it is so far......"
The other rebel soldiers were equally dumbfounded.
One after another rebel soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, Lou Jian's body shook suddenly, he felt as if he was flying up, yes, Lou Jian, a Liaodong man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, was hit in the waist by a 32-millimeter lead bullet, and he was directly cut off in the waist.
Half of his body, under the impact of the huge impact of the lead bullet, flew more than two meters away, and he didn't even have a chance to scream, and died directly.
However, at this time, what is even more terrible is that the arrow also came as promised.
"Flutter, flutter......"
The sound of crossbow arrows sounded like flesh, and I don't know how many rebel soldiers were shot by the crossbows.
Liu Qingsong hurriedly said: "Retreat quickly, if you run slowly, they will make dumplings, they don't use guns, one person and one punch, we are all flattened after we are cured......"
The soldiers of the Ning Navy put away the crossbow machine, hung the cloth belt tied to the crossbow machine on their backs, picked up their spears, faced the rebels, and slowly retreated.
As for the Thunderbolt soldiers, they put away their hoes, one person in front of them pulled the cart, and the two people on the left and right pushed the Thunderbolt cart and ran away.
"Mr. Bai!"
"Mr. Bai!"
"What's wrong!"
"Something is wrong!"
Liu Qingsong turned to look at the rebel soldiers behind him, and he found that these rebel soldiers actually threw down the blades in their hands, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands.
Liu Qingsong was stunned: "Are they surrendering?" ”
"Yes, they seem to have descended!"
Liu Qingsong couldn't believe it, although their attack was launched very suddenly, the damage to the rebels was actually limited, and it was very limited.
In order to deal with Lou Jian, two Thunderbolt carts were specially used to deal with Lou Jian, and the other three or four thousand rebel soldiers only had six Thunderbolt carts and one hundred and eighty lead bullets, even if all of them hit the target, they could only shoot one hundred and eighty people, and the crossbow arrows were counted as one arrow, which could only shoot three or four hundred people.
As a force with three or four thousand people, even if the casualties are a few people, even if they collapse, they will not surrender en masse, right?
However, the reality is so magical.
Liu Dingsong is not Cheng Shijie, he doesn't know that in the late Ming Dynasty, it was actually a worse era, and the comparison was not who was more advantageous than whom, but who was worse.
There are more than 200,000 troops in the Beijing camp, at least the soldiers' salaries and supplies, and they can still keep sixty percent, and the civilian officials are very greedy, but they dare not force the more than 200,000 troops in the capital.
Once the Beijing camp mutinied, all the civil officials were heads.
The price is too great for anyone to bear.
But the local guards were different, they only had one shelf, and they couldn't even fill one.
"Mr. Bai, what now?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
Liu Qingsong felt a little embarrassed for the first time, he looked at the three or four thousand rebel prisoners in front of him, densely packed with black and oppressed, and his brain didn't even have time to think too much: "Accept their surrender!" ”
If Liu Qingsong does not agree to accept the surrender of these rebels, these subordinates will tear him apart.
Three or four thousand people, this is forty or fifty thousand acres of land.
