I am one year older than Chongzhen

(Book friends are recommended to read the newly released work "The Soul of the Late Ming and Han Dynasties" and the old works "The Sun Never Sets on the Ming Empire" and "1981")

The rebels were suddenly shelled, shot, and cavalry attacked by the Xinghe Army, and they were suddenly surrounded.

Then I saw the Xinghe army forming like a wall, saw the bright steel knives with bright spear points, and heard the "crackling" sound of gunfire.

More than half of the rebels immediately dispersed!

Those former veterans of Dongjiang Town were capable of fighting, but it was a pity that the battalion was in a state of collapse, and it was difficult for the gods to save them, so they had to follow the crowd.

After all, Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu and other rebel generals were brought out by Mao Wenlong.

Their henchmen are good at fighting guerrillas, and their ability to survive in chaos is outstanding.

When the newly surrendered troops were running wild, the rebel generals Li Jiucheng, Mao Chenglu and others simply ignored them and only led their trusted troops to leave quickly.

In addition, Huang Yi did not prepare to surround and annihilate them with a net on all sides. He only planned to drive the rebels away and seize the baggage and artillery to make a bargain.

Therefore, the escape route for Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu, etc. was dangerous.

Huang Yi, who led the cavalry in an assault, was a little depressed.

Because he is always upstaged, the halo of the protagonist is eclipsed.

It's all the fault of the fool.

This kid accepted his bet and poured the chamber pot for Huang Yi every day.

He didn't feel aggrieved and was happy and peaceful all day long.

Simple people are most easily satisfied.

After becoming Huang Yi's personal soldier, I no longer had to eat chaffy vegetables. I was satisfied with multigrain pancakes and white flour pancakes, and I could also eat meat regularly.

Erluzi felt that his life was beautiful and he felt that he should work hard for Huang Yi who brought him food and clothing.

No, here's a chance!

Huang Yi and the entire personal guard participated in the assault.

Of course Erluzi tried his best.

He was already a few centimeters taller and stronger than Huang Yi, and he also had the specially selected tall head of Uju Muqin.

So he ran rampant in front of Huang Yi, which immediately dimmed Huang Yi's glorious image.

This man was a fierce and ruthless man. He had been dancing wildly with his one-handed axe, killing heads and making the rebels cry for their fathers and mothers.

Seeing that this fool was so ruthless, Huang Yi had no choice but to say loudly:

"You idiot, you idiot, don't kill the rebels who threw away their weapons!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't see it clearly just now!"

The rebels and bandits did all kinds of evil. They disrupted order, destroyed the fragile ecological balance, and caused more Han people to die of hunger and massacre each other.

Damn them all!

However, God has the virtue of good life!

Huang Yi is willing to give all Han people a chance to reform.

Except for the kind of pervert who enjoys heinous crimes and enjoys killing and torturing, those who kill for survival can be spared.

The fertilizer factory in the base area needs criminal labor reform, and the quarry needs strong labor. Anyway, there are many places that are short of free labor!

A strong labor force transformed through labor can create an output value of no less than thirty taels of silver for the base area in a year.

How long is three years of reform through labor? What is five years and eight years?

With one strike of Erlunzi's ax, it was equivalent to losing dozens or hundreds of taels of silver. Of course, Huang Yi couldn't ignore it.

Along the way, the Xinghe Army attacked bandits and road bullies, destroyed the lairs of bandits, and took in young and middle-aged people who had no food to work as laborers. The population more than tripled.

In the face of confrontation with the rebels, this population can only stay in the camp.

The Xinghe Army did not support idlers. Young men and women, including teenagers over ten years old, all had work to do.

Digging trenches, using straw bags and sacks to build earthen walls, carrying water, collecting firewood, feeding horses, etc. Since there was really no work to do, the young people and young adults were organized into formations for training.

Gradually, these people become disciplined and accustomed to obedience.

We cannot let these people go.

The rebels have been wreaking havoc for a full year, and production near Denglai has been completely destroyed. How can there be food to eat?

When they cannot survive, these teenagers and young adults will inevitably take risks.

Huang Yi had long planned to send a team of people to take these people back to the base area to participate in large-scale production.

The prerequisite for executing this plan is to defeat or repel the opposing rebels!

"You fool, why are you so stupid again? Have you forgotten the slogan I asked you to recite before going into battle?" Liu Jindong, who came on horseback, asked.

Liu Jindong used to be good at three-eyed muskets, but now he loves flintlock guns the most.

He liked the new and never got tired of the old. At this time, he was brandishing a three-eyed gun in his hand, carrying a flintlock gun that he had fired once and had no time to reload, and his whole body was covered in blood.

There was no other way. His method of killing the enemy was simple and crude. He used the iron head of a three-eyed gun to smash around like a mace.

With the help of the power, the three-eyed blunderbuss hits the enemy's head and basically splits it open like a watermelon, and white and red ones fly away.

Er Lunzi only obeyed two people, one was Huang Yi who beat him obediently and poured out the chamber pot, and the other was Liu Jindong who took him in for food.

Hearing Liu Jindong's accusation, Erluzi said loudly like a conditioned reflex:

"Um, I didn't forget, yes, yes, I put down the knife and surrendered, uh, I didn't kill the prisoners!"

"Then what did you just do?"

"Um, I didn't pay attention!"

Liu Jindong had a good relationship with Er Lunzi and was worried that Huang Yi would punish Er Lunzi, so he came here to deal with it because he was a small flag official and Er Lengzi was under his leadership.

"How can you be distracted while fighting? You must concentrate! Follow me and shout, put down your weapons and surrender. The Xinghe Army will not kill the prisoners! Charge!"

"Come on! Kill! Don't kill the prisoners, hahaha..." The second idiot suddenly became excited again.

Huang Yi knew that Erluzi was not very smart, so he only needed to remind him not to deliberately kill prisoners. As for being unable to hold back when killing someone conveniently, who cares?

He scanned the battlefield where the wolves were rushing and fighting, and he could hardly see the rebels who were stubbornly resisting. All he saw was the Xinghe Army chasing and killing the fleeing enemies.

When formulating the plan, the principle of victory with the least loss was adopted. The cavalry intercepted the rebel artillery and captured the cannon, and the infantry went out of camp to cover up the enemy and pursue them for more than ten miles.

Take advantage of the situation to cover up the kill, pursue without blocking, give the rebels a chance to escape, and create more opportunities to hit the rebels on the back.

Now it seems that everything is as expected, the casualties of the Xinghe Army can be ignored, and the losses of the rebels are immeasurable.

The shouts of killing filled the mountains and plains!

The Xinghe army swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger!

The rebels are like frightened birds!

"Huu...uh..." Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu and others started to rein in their horses and slow down until their horses were foaming at the mouth.

Li Jiucheng, who was taking a deep breath, calmed down. After listening, he didn't seem to hear the shouting of killing. He looked around him. Fortunately, the old brothers in Dongjiang Town were not lost.

He said strangely: "Eh? That Xinghe army didn't catch up!"

"I have long noticed that the Xinghe Army is not chasing after me!" Mao Chenglu gasped and wiped his sweat.

Li Jiucheng glanced sideways at Mao Chenglu and said, "Then why are you still risking your life and running away?"

Mao Chenglu explained: "I'm worried that the old brothers will run away!"

Chen sometimes said: "I have been watching. The old brothers are very clever and basically ran away!"

Wang Zideng complained: "If it weren't for the chaos of the newly-attached soldiers, we wouldn't have to run away at all!" (End of Chapter)
