Chapter 216

Cheng Shijie was very angry at this time, and he was not angry because the pirates of the Zheng group slaughtered ordinary people.

Do pirates have military discipline? Counting on them to keep military discipline, it is better to expect the old cat not to steal, the prostitute to keep chastity, or the national football team to play in the World Cup.

The army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military discipline was actually not very good, the Guanning army grabbed the people, no weaker than the Liukou, the Guanning army slaughtered civilians, but it was more ruthless than Jiannu.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, if you want to say that the military discipline is the best, it must be the Ning Navy, of course, the military discipline of the Tianxiong Army is not bad, although it can't be done by the people in the autumn, but it will definitely not be robbing and slaughtering the civilian people.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie heard Xiao Ri from the unbridled laughter, which made Cheng Shijie's blood pressure rise sharply.

The soldiers of the Ning Navy immediately lined up in an offensive team and launched towards the Wusong Guard, accompanied by the artillery unit of the Ning Navy, which was different from the past, there was no heavy artillery here, and most of the artillery was mainly based on flying thunder cannons or tiger squat guns.

These guns have one characteristic, lightness.

Even if Ning Haijun had already touched the edge of Wu Song's Imperial Thousand Households, the leader of the Zheng family did not find out that the leader of the pirates at this time was Zeng Cunxiong. Zeng Cunxiong is the concubine of Zheng Zhilong's fourth brother, Zheng Zhifeng, and the younger brother of the Zeng family.

The leaders and leaders of the Zheng group, most of them were the troops of the eighteenth Zhi family, or the relationship with the Zheng family, Zeng Cunxiong was a very brutal person, he was in Wu Song at this time in the Qianhu Mansion of the Thousand Households, the front hall of the Thousand Households, there were more than a dozen Ming prisoners.

Zeng Cunxiong had the dozen or so Ming prisoners tied up, and he took a small day katana and slashed at the head of one of the Ming prisoners.

As Zeng Cunxiong slashed down, a captive's head fell to the ground.

Then, Zeng Cunxiong pointed the knife at the second captive and stabbed it again, and the captive's head was thrown up like a hydrangea, and the hot blood splashed Zeng Cunxiong's face.

Zeng Cunxiong stretched out his tongue and licked it, tasting the taste of blood, laughing wildly, waving his knife again and again, and the Ming soldiers who were kneeling on the ground were chopped over by him like wood, no one tried to resist, no one fled.

"The artillery is ready, ask for an artillery bombardment!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a moment and said, "Don't shell for the time being, touch it and solve them!" ”

Cheng Shijie is not sure how many people are still in Wu Song's Thousand Households Guard, listening to the screams coming from the city, there should be a lot of people, but the shells do not have eyes, once the shells are shelled, they will cause serious casualties to ordinary people.

Ning's uniforms are black, which has absolute concealment in the dark. It can be blended with the night, especially suitable for night battles.

The scouts of the Ning Navy took advantage of the cover of the night and successfully arrived under the city wall, the city gate at this time was naturally closed, and the Ning Navy reconnaissance did not throw the fly and grab as in the film and television drama, you must know the impact of the bricks and steel of the city wall, unless the defenders on the city wall are dead, it is impossible not to hear the sound.

The soldiers of the Ning Navy quickly climbed the city wall by taking a ladder.

At this time, several unlucky pirates guarding the city wall looked at the city with envy, and an old pirate held a spear, looked at the captain beside him and asked, "Biao Chief, when will it be the brothers' turn to cool off?" ”

"Stand your guard well!"

"Alas, the guards have long run out, and they are still vigilant!"

The old pirate grumbled: "If this continues, our brothers will not be able to get anything!" ”

The captain pointed to the meat in front of him, and the wine smiled: "Is there a lack of food for you, or is there a lack of food for you?" ”

The old pirate said nonchalantly: "There is no shortage of food and water, and there is no shortage of meat, but the boss has to consider that the brothers have not vented for two months." I'm afraid that someone will get sick. ”

"Lao Cao, you're fucking suffocated!"

The old pirate suddenly smelled blood, and immediately became alert: "Biaotou, there is a situation!" ”

"What's the situation!"

"Look, what's that?"

"Is anyone coming?"

The old pirate only saw a cold star in front of him, it was a sharp crossbow arrow, and he was just about to open his mouth when he was shot through the head by an arrow, and the crossbow arrow went through his mouth and shot out of the back of his head.

If the crossbow machine is shooting on a large scale, the sound of breaking the air will be very loud, but the sound of sporadic shooting is very small, and the crossbow machine is also the best weapon for assassination.

The captain guarding the city was still a little strange, why was Lao Cao silent, Lao Cao was a talking basket, and his mouth couldn't be idle, however, when he turned around, he looked at a sharp dagger and stabbed at him.

Ning Haijun smoothly climbed up from the city wall, cleaned up the pirates on the city wall, and then quietly opened the city gate, as the Ning Navy soldiers rushed in, Wu Song guarded the palace of a thousand households ushered in a bloody storm.

Cheng Shijie's order is not to leave a living mouth, the Naning Navy soldiers will carry out this order very thoroughly, the beheading is a military merit, and no one wants to live with their bounty.

The unvigilant Zheng pirates lost the four gates of Wu Song's Imperial Thousand Households in the first place.

Although Zeng Cunxiong is brutal, although he has some BT, but the problem is that he really has two brushes, although the screams in the city are constant, he can hear from the screams that something is wrong, after all, the screams of men are still very different from the screams of women.

Zeng Cunxiong came out of the Qianhu house, where did he think that there would be several iron arrows shooting head-on, Ning Haijun was originally equipped with a mountain mulberry crossbow, which was more powerful than a bow and arrow, Zeng Cunxiong reacted quickly, grabbed a personal guard and blocked it in front of him, but his personal guard did not have such good luck.

The five guards could not avoid it and were shot one after another. Ning Haijun's crossbow arrows actually shot at close range, and they were all aimed at vital parts, and the five guards were killed instantly.

At this time, Zeng Cunxiong had already seen the soldiers of the Ning Navy chasing and killing the Zheng pirates like chopping melons and vegetables, Zeng Cunxiong hurriedly retreated and began to organize the pirates to fight back.

It's just a pity that they didn't assemble, but they just finished assembling when they heard a burst of cannonballs.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As the already arranged Flying Thunder Cannon fired packets of explosives, the explosives ran in a strange trajectory and fell into the Zheng Pirate Array, with clusters of orange-red fireballs rising into the air, clusters of terrifying gunpowder smoke rushed up twenty or thirty meters high with firelight, and a thunderous and violent loud sound shook the pores of everyone present to tear open, and the explosion swept everything.

Zeng Cunxiong is very lucky, with what he did, if he was not killed, Cheng Shijie would definitely make Zeng Cunxiong regret coming to this world.

However, Zeng Cunxiong was also very unlucky, an explosive cannon fell at his feet, and the shock wave of the explosion hit him head-on, tearing Ge Cunxiong's body into various organs, turning into a rain of flesh and blood, and sprinkling it around. As for Zeng Cunxiong's own soldiers, the shock wave of the explosion blew their feet off the ground and flew straight backwards, and the military formation was even more miserable.

With the death of Zeng Cunxiong, the Zheng pirates surrendered one after another, but instead of surrendering, the small day warriors launched a decisive assault on the Ning navy.

Due to the fact that the breech-loading rifled rifle was not invented, the armament of the Ning Navy musket has never been high, and the crossbow machine has always been relied on at medium and long distances.

Right now, these crazy little warriors have crashed headlong into the Ning Navy's crossbow array.

In the impression of many people, ancient Chinese men were thinner and smaller than Europeans, and their hand-to-hand combat ability was relatively weak, so they played with their lives to build strong bows and crossbows and play non-contact combat, while Europeans were strong and specialized in hand-to-hand combat.

In fact, this is not the case at all, the soldiers who used bows and crossbows in ancient times were all elites with outstanding strength, because the strength consumed to play with bows and crossbows was much greater than that of playing with knives.

A long knife weighs only one pound, a four-meter-long spear weighs about four or five pounds, and a hammer that can knock people's heavenly spirit cover flying is only six pounds in weight, and it takes dozens of kilograms of pulling force to pull a strong compound bow, and the strengthened crossbow is even more terrifying, and the Song Dynasty divine arm bow needs ninety kilograms of pulling force to pull it open, you can imagine how difficult it is to shoot continuously with this thing.

Therefore, the crossbow soldiers of the Ning Navy are all tall and big men, and nearly a year of hard work, military training and sufficient food have made their muscles more and more full, if not, they really can't play the crossbow machine, although this thing has a pulley device, which can save a lot of physical strength.

However, sixty kilograms of pulling force were still needed, and the crossbowmen of the Ning Navy, who had been waiting for a long time, flattened the crossbow machine, pressed it against the shoulder blades, and aimed it at the Xiaori warrior who was howling and rushing over.

The samurai howled in despair, letting out strange screams of terror, trying to throw these damned crossbowmen into chaos, and in their experience, most Ming soldiers were very timid, and as long as they pretended to be vicious, they could scare them into the desert and flee, and then they could catch up and slash them with their katanas.

However, their experience was useless, and the soldiers of the Ning Navy just looked at their heads coldly.

"Woo Woo ......"

Rows of crossbow arrows whistled in, and the samurai had no chance to dodge at all, and the triangular arrows flew towards them at a very high speed, and the leather armor and bamboo armor on their bodies were like paper paste in front of such sharp arrows, and they were easily torn apart, followed by their muscles and bones.

The terrifying screams from the mouths of the samurai turned into terrible screams in an instant, and the thin bodies of some of the unlucky ones who were shot by several crossbow arrows at the same time flew straight backwards like rag dolls, dripping a rain of blood. The unarmored samurai were even more pitiful, and their entire bodies were pierced by an arrow, and the crossbow arrows pierced their backs with blood and flesh, and then penetrated deep into the chests of those behind them, and then stopped completely.

In just one pillar of incense, these two or three hundred small day warriors were shot into hedgehogs, and with the death of these small day warriors, the battle of Wusong City can also be said to be over without beginning.

From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, it was less than half an hour.

At this time, Shen Boyun finally saw the true strength of the Ning Navy.

I don't know how many battles between the Zheng pirates and the Sand Boat Gang have fought, whether at sea or on land, but in fact, the Sand Boat Gang has always been at a disadvantage.

It's better to fight a naval battle, as long as the Zheng pirates don't send out the main battleship, the Sand Boat Gang can fight with the Zheng pirates, but the land battle is completely different. There are many small day warriors in the Zheng pirates, these small days warriors are not afraid of death, they are extremely flexible, and in the fight, the combat effectiveness of these little dwarfs is really good.

Wu Sheng asked, "Dashuai, what should these people do?" ”

Cheng Shijie said lightly: "Kill!" ”

"But ......"

In Wu Sheng's eyes, these pirates, like the original Kong Youde rebels, should be dragged to Liaodong to settle tenants, or thrown into the mines for labor reform.

What's more, slaughtering cities and looting in this era is the most normal phenomenon, which is also a good opportunity for them to get rich by participating in the welfare of the soldiers. If the generals don't slaughter the city and don't let the soldiers get the benefits, they will rebel.

"Congratulations to Dashuai for this big victory!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Send someone to find this Wu Song general soldier and see if he is dead!" ”

Although Cheng Shijie obtained control of Chongming Island through Zhu Weiyuan's relationship, it is still far from enough to rely on Chongming Island to control the Yangtze River to the sea.

It is also necessary to control Changxing Island and Wusongkou.

At dawn, Meng En reported to Cheng Shijie: "I have found General Wu!" ”

It was only at this time that Cheng Shijie knew that the general soldier of Wu Songkou actually had the same name and surname as Wu Sheng.

Cheng Shijie looked at Wu Sheng and Meng En and said: "To be able to escape the Zheng family's pursuit, this Wu general soldier has two hits!" ”

"Is it ...... Found in the pigsty! ”

Cheng Shijie covered his nose and saw Wu Sheng's general soldier, this Wu Sheng was the same tall as Cheng Shijie's personal guard Wu Sheng, and was even three inches taller than Wu Sheng next to Cheng Shijie.

It's just that this Wu Sheng is older, Mo is about fifty or sixty years old, this Wu Sheng's general soldier is really unpresentable, I don't know where to lose the sword, the helmet is worn crookedly, the official uniform is messy like a chicken shaved, and the mountain armor that looks quite gorgeous is dirty, and it is covered with pig.

In order to escape Zheng's pursuit, he actually hid in a pigsty outside Huating County and got a body of pig, which was extremely embarrassing.

Wu Sheng's general soldiers were even more frightened when they saw the dead bodies all over the Wusongkou fortress, but when he saw that the pirates and pirates were dead, he actually regained a trace of courage incredibly, he straightened his helmet, coughed, and glared at Xue Siming and shouted: "Who are you?" Why did you break into Wu's defense zone? Is there a fire ticket from the Ministry of War? ”

Although Wu Sheng's general soldiers have to have guts or not, and they have to have strength or strength, it is undeniable that he still has a bit of brains, and at this time he recaptured Wusongkou Fortress and annihilated thousands of pirates, which is a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Wu Sheng's general soldiers rolled his eyes, looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "I don't know if the adult is ......."

When he spoke, he saw Cheng Shijie's "Cheng" banner, the surname Cheng is actually not a small surname, and it can be ranked as thirty-nine in the hundred surnames, but the problem is that in the Chongzhen Dynasty, only Cheng Shijie can hang the handsome flag.

"Xiaguan, meet Hai Guogong and meet Cheng Shuai!"

Although Cheng Shijie disdains Wu Sheng's general soldier, the problem is that he needs to cooperate with Wu Sheng, the general soldier, even if he defeats Wu Songkou, but Wu Songkou is different from Liaodong, how much territory Cheng Shijie has won in Liaodong, it is all him, but Shanghai is different.

It is absolutely impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to hand over Wu Songkou to Cheng Shijie, and similarly, the ministers of the imperial court will not agree, after all, Wu Songkou is their lifeblood.

Cheng Shijie really couldn't stand the smell of pig on Wu Sheng's general soldiers, and directly made people humane: "You wash and wash Wu Zongbing, your clothes are not neat, what does it look like!" ”

General Wu Sheng looked at Cheng Shijie and hurriedly said, "Cheng Shuai, there is something to do with the officials......

"Let's take a shower!"

The soldiers of the Ning Navy did not have a good attitude towards Wu Sheng's general army, and there were two or three thousand dead and wounded in the Wusongkou fortress, most of whom were old and weak, women and children who had not had time to escape, and they did not have a good impression of this general soldier who threw down his troops and fled with the people.

Cheng Shijie said that he would let Wu Sheng take a bath, but he did not say that he should take a hot bath, so Ning Haijun directly brought water from the river and poured it directly on Wu Sheng.

You must know that it is the Yangtze River water at the end of December, and during the Xiaoice River period, although the Yangtze River is not frozen, it does not mean that the Yangtze River water is not cold, and Wu Sheng can't stand it when a few buckets of water go down.

Cheng Shuai...... Xiaguan ...... Think! ”

Cheng Shijie smiled and said, "Are you qualified to talk to Ben Shuai about the conditions?" ”

If it is a situation that can be endured, Wu Sheng is willing to endure it, anyway, he can't provoke Cheng Shijie, but the problem is that now that Cheng Shijie wants his life, he has to resist.

It's just a pity that his resistance only made Ning's behavior more rude.

At this time, several Ning Navy soldiers were holding wire brushes and preparing to give Wu Sheng's general soldier a bath, and now Wu Sheng's face turned green: "What does Cheng Shuai want to do, just give orders!" ”

"yes, that's right!"
