Poor family mother and son

Chapter 76 Kill him! (one)

In order not to waste the hard-won seeds, Chu Qing planned not to plant them directly in the ground, but to grow seedlings in two months.The brick kiln is continuously burning bricks and coal, and even the ground is warm, so Chu Qing plans to use the area near the brick kiln to raise seedlings there.

She still has nearly a thousand acres of land on the hillside, and the young men are making preparations for spring plowing and plowing the land.All cattle that do not need to be pulled are used here.Chu Qing had a batch of animal plows that had never been sold, and they were all used now.

These animal plows are all made of cast iron according to the structure used by modern farmers.It took a lot of energy for Master Lu.But the cost was too high, and one was not sold.

This kind of plow has wheels to control the depth of plowing, but the wheels are not easy to make.As a result, none of the plows produced with great effort were sold, and Master Lu complained for a long time.

After all, there were not many people on the land, and at this time every family was plowing the land, and there was no way to hire anyone, so Chu Qing simply used the animal plows for his own use.Master Lu was quite reluctant, so Chu Qing told him, don't be afraid, we have iron.That look is like a modern local tyrant saying "our family has a mine",

Peanuts are only enough to plant half an acre, and the rest are used to grow corn and soybeans, using interplanting methods.In this way, resources such as water, temperature, air, light, and illumination of the land can be more fully utilized.Soybeans can provide more nitrogen nutrients to corn through the nitrogen fixation of their own roots, so that corn can grow better and yield higher.

We are not farmers and do not pay grain taxes, so it is clear that we do not grow rice or wheat.Chu Qing paid far more taxes than the farmers.Not only the house tax, land tax, bridge tax and other messy things have been paid, but also iron ore and iron products, including the Xiuchun knife of the secret investigation department, have been "self-paid tax processing", that is, these few Specially set up account books, and hand over the bank notes to the cashier's clerk sent by the Ministry of Accounts as a proof of receipt, and then report these bills and bank notes to the Ministry of Accounts by the clerk.

The direct manifestation of Chu Qing's insecurity is money.She desperately earns money to support Xiaobao, but every penny she earns must not cause dissatisfaction in the court.Especially in such a sensitive project as iron ore, no mistakes can be made.

Salt and iron have always been the main sources of taxation for the state.Although there is very little iron mining in Daxuan, it is strictly controlled by the state.Chu Qing's current franchise purchase right is entirely due to the luck of special events in special times.

It's the busy season again.Several villages are busy harvesting wheat, and Chu Qing's field has only been sown for more than a month.The growth is good, and the nearby river ensures sufficient water.A lively scene of busy farming.

But Dong Lun's side is different.After Hong Liang defended the northern border of Donglun, he moved towards the south little by little. At the same time, the defender of Kushui Town, Ma Da, brought [-] troops to support him.

When the two forces successfully compressed the forces of Donglun to the middle of the border, the imperial army in the middle and south began to attack.

A total of 30 troops advanced eastward along the border, pouring into the royal city easily like a tide, and the Donglun monarch didn't even have time to set fire to the palace.In the end, he committed suicide on the throne, and it was the first time he kept his integrity as a monarch.

What is really tough is the army of Hong Liang and Ma Da.Hong Liang's focus has always been not on the military strength of the East Lun Kingdom, but on the neighboring Vos Kingdom.Donglun Kingdom is a long and narrow country with a very short distance from east to west.The entire land area is equivalent to one and a half Jizhou.

The country of Voss is a nomadic country with vast Gobi and sparsely populated land.Their people are tough, and all the people are soldiers.It is the real enemy of Xuanguo.Hong Liang has been worried that once the war starts, Voss will take advantage of the chaos to attack.Therefore, when the imperial army blew the horn, Hong Liang led an army of 12 to the eastern border of Donglun Kingdom.

Just as Hong Liang was worried, Voss really had the same plan.They are waiting for the opportunity. Once the East Lun Kingdom goes to war, all the troops will definitely be invested. At that time, the eastern border of the East Lun Kingdom will be the weakest time, and the Vos Kingdom can break into it in one fell swoop.

What I didn't expect was that Donglun Kingdom could not help but be attacked so quickly, and was captured by Daxuan Kingdom so soon.And Voss' food has not been fully prepared.As soon as Hong Liang arrived at the border, he learned that the army of Vos had begun to gather at the border.

Since Hong Liang took the lead in entering Donglun, the fifteen spies sent by Chu Qing directly followed the movement of the army and successfully reconnected with the northern stronghold of Donglun.Therefore, when Hong Liang just arrived at the border, he received information from the local secret investigation department: Voss sent [-] cavalry to gather at Taniguchi.

Since this line of defense is based on the mountains, the country of Voss must pass through this oval valley to attack East Lun.

The country of Vos is a country on horseback, and the army is all cavalry.Daxuan Kingdom is a plain country. Although the plain climate can grow many high-yield crops, it is not suitable for horses. Therefore, Daxuan's war horses are all smuggled from East Lun and Voss.

Although Hong Liang had 12 cavalry under his command, they couldn't compete with Voss' cavalry in terms of numbers.Moreover, in mountainous combat, the advantages of chariots and heavy armored soldiers cannot be reflected, so this time the [-] soldiers and horses are all lightly armored.

Voss' cavalry poured into the mouth of the valley like a torrent, and in the rolling yellow dust, thousands of cavalry shouted "hurree!" Arrows, using only the strength of the two legs to control the horse, shot a round of arrow rain while galloping; at the same time, another team of cavalry rushed into the middle, and a piece of spear was raised high by them, charging straight with the momentum of breaking bamboo.

The cavalry of Daxuan went forward, and the spears in their hands pointed straight at the Voss!Behind them were neat infantry archers. With a command of "Let it go!", the arrows pointing obliquely at the sky soared into the sky, passed over the valley, and fell one after another.

The horses of the Voss cavalry were faster, and the formation was not neat, so they did not suffer too many casualties. On the other hand, because the two cavalry teams of the Voss cavalry came in first, the arrows sent by the cavalry shot , although the number is not as large as that of Daxuan, the area of ​​damage caused to Daxuan's infantry is large.

The army of the plain country, because of its shortcomings in cavalry, puts special emphasis on battle formation.Therefore, the Daxuan infantry was neatly located behind the cavalry, but a large area was attacked by the rain of arrows, and 600 people fell in one round.

At this time, the cavalry of both sides had been fighting together. The spears of the Daxuan cavalry pierced deeply into the body of the Voss cavalry, and the spears of the Ervos cavalry did not show any weakness. With the momentum of the horses and the tall physique of the Voss , shot into the flesh.

There is a hook under the spear head of the country of Voss. The spear stabs out and kills a soldier. When it is retracted, it hooks again and pulls another soldier off the horse.Voss' weapons are not single. In addition to the spear, he is also equipped with a melee weapon-the ring head knife.

This kind of knife is light and sharp, small and easy to carry, not easy to break when chopping, and has excellent armor-piercing function.The blade of this ring head knife has a certain arc, even if it is chopped at the speed of the horse, it will not be thrown away due to the impact force, and the knife is easy to pull away after cutting into the flesh.

The first time the two teams confronted each other, a large number of cavalry fell from their horses.The cries of pain resounded through the valley, and the bloody and pungent wind swirled in the valley, and the yellow sand on the ground had turned into brown blood mud.

The space vacated by the fallen cavalry was immediately filled by the Daxuan infantry behind, preventing Voss' cavalry from having more room to gallop.

But the infantry confronting the cavalry was blocking the iron hooves with their flesh and blood.In an instant, groups of soldiers were trampled under their horses.Although the Daxuan infantry changed their formation in time, they still couldn't slow down the rate of attrition.

Hong Liang watched anxiously.With such a large number of casualties, morale is sluggish!Hong Liang shouted: "Come on!" He raised his knife and mounted his horse. "General!" The guards couldn't stop them, so they had to drive their horses to follow.

Voss is leading the army today, King Voss' ninth son Zhuohan, and Voss' favorite son.Because this son looks the most like him, has the greatest strength, and is also the best at riding and shooting.

At this time, Zhuohan was grinning grinningly, hooking Daxuan's cavalry with his hooks one by one, throwing one out, and the Voss soldiers around him laughed and waved their ring knives, and landed on Daxuan's soldiers like a game. He cut his neck forward.

"Look! These fluffy two-legged sheep are learning how to ride horses! Do you have that ability? I think it's horses riding you! Ahahaha..." Zhuohan laughed wildly, his hands still Keep assassinating and hooking.

The Voss cavalry around him also booed: "Do you think we are as incompetent as the people of Donglun? You poor two-legged sheep, even with wings, you can't pretend to be eagles in our grassland!"

When the body of the killed Daxuan soldier fell to the ground, Voss' cavalry tightened the reins, raised the horse's hooves high, and stomped heavily.Young lives were trampled into mud under the chaotic horseshoes.

Such contemptuous language, such cruel methods, had only fought against Donglun soldiers, and the Daxuan soldiers who had never fought against the Voss could no longer bear the panic from the bottom of their hearts, and the formation began to become chaotic.

"Don't listen to the savage nonsense! When I killed the Voss, their hair hadn't grown yet!" The loud curse rushed towards him with the spear.

Zhuohan raised his eyebrows and showed a frivolous smile: "A lion that has lost its hair should find a quiet place to die! A sheep with white beards should lie down under the knife of its master!" Straight to Hong Liang's heart!

"Your mother and maidservant too!" Hong Liang shouted loudly, his arms shook suddenly, "Bang!" The spear and spear clashed instantly.

Although Hong Liang is over fifty, his arms are extremely strong due to years of fighting and never-slack training.Zhuohan was young and strong, and his explosive power was not comparable to that of ordinary people. With this blow, he was evenly matched.But only Hong Liang knew in his heart that fortunately it was only a short blow, if he continued to fight, he would definitely lose.Still old.

Zhuohan didn't expect the old man in front of him to be so fierce, even if he was placed in Voss, he would have to be called "Battle".Immediately paying attention, the spears flew up and down.With the glittering golden tiger head draped over the shoulders and the bright red helmet on the golden helmet, one can tell that he is a general of the Xuan Kingdom. If he is to beheaded, his head will be cut off and presented to his father...

With this in mind, the attack was even more ruthless.The tip of the spear was lifted upwards, piercing Hong Liang's jaw.Although Hong Liang was a few years old, he had accumulated a lot of experience in the battlefield, so he only slightly staggered the body of the horse and pulled a little closer to Zhuohan.

Suddenly, he drew the saber from the left neck of the horse, grasped the spear firmly with his right hand and did not change his attack, but the saber in his left hand suddenly slashed obliquely to the right!
No one would have thought of this move! Usually people divide the main hand and the auxiliary hand, that is, one hand is the main hand, while the other is relatively weaker, or not as flexible as the main hand.

But Hong Liang is not!Hong Liang was left-handed when he was young. Because of the injury, he couldn't work hard for a long time, so he changed his right hand. After the injury healed, he simply trained both hands so that both hands could be used as the main hand.With Hong Liang's knife, Zhuohan's head and half of his shoulders flew out!

"Wow! Kill!!" The morale was instantly boosted, and the Daxuan soldiers shouted to cheer up.The Voss cavalry saw the tragic death of the main general, and their eyes were red-eyed. King Voss' methods were cruel. His most precious son died. They couldn't escape the punishment, so they fought hard! !
But without the army of the general, it is difficult to gather effective combat power, so the morale of the Voss cavalry began to decline.Voss and Daxuan have never confronted each other head-on.They always thought that Da Xuan and Dong Lun had been fighting for so many years, so they shouldn't be very brave, not to mention that they couldn't even train cavalry.

Now, Hong Liang beheaded their chief general as soon as he came up, and they began to panic.Under the impact of Hong Liang's leadership, the Voss cavalry had to withdraw from the valley.

On the first day of the battle, the opponent only dispatched [-] cavalry, and no more than [-] died, while Hong Liang lost nearly [-].If he hadn't beheaded the opponent's general, his morale would probably be gone.

　Hong Liang clasped his fists: Thank you for your votes, half of the baked bean cakes will be shared with you!
