I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 335 Bo Yibo Turns a Bicycle into a Motorcycle
Chapter 334

Xie Shangkui quietly watched the rebels rushing up from the city, and he asked very puzzled: "These rebels are obviously very cowardly, why have they become so crazy now?"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Put a vicious dog behind you, and you won't run forward desperately!"

Xie Shangkui suddenly realized.

When Cheng Shijie was in later generations, he was very puzzled by a question. Why did the Ming army turn into the green camp of the Qing Dynasty after they defected to the Qing Dynasty? The people were still the same, and the equipment was still the same equipment. In fact, the supplies of the green camp were no more than that of the Ming army. , but the combat effectiveness of the green battalion has skyrocketed.

Now he understands that the Manchu Qing did not regard the Green Camp as human beings at all, but only as cannon fodder, or they would die, and they would not hesitate to kill the Green Camp soldiers who were afraid of fighting.There is another problem. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were generals for soldiers.

The biggest disadvantage of being a general is that the generals have soldiers, and they are still high-ranking generals. They are nothing without soldiers, so when encountering a war, these generals don’t want to win the battle, but to preserve their strength. As a result, they encounter Jiannu’s attack , it will be a complete failure.

As Daolang wrote in the lyrics of "Raksha Haishi", all problems are fundamental problems of our human beings.The problems of the Ming army are actually mostly the problems of the generals, not the problems of ordinary soldiers. Just like this time, Xie Zhiliang led more than 800 defeated soldiers, stopped some soldiers and civilians, and defended Pingding Prefecture. The Mongolian army There were heavy casualties, but they did not win Pingding Prefecture, but persisted until Cheng Shijie arrived.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not brave, nor was it that they feared the enemy and fought cowardly, but that the generals were greedy for life and fear of death, and dared not fight. However, although more than [-] solitary troops were isolated and helpless, and their ammunition and food were exhausted, seven or eight thousand elite slaves were killed.

"It's just a pity! Their courage came too late!"

Cheng Shijie heard from Xie Shangkui that the root cause of Taiyuan's fall was that General He Sui suddenly launched a mutiny, and Xie Zhiliang was unprepared, so Taiyuan fell.Most of the soldiers in Taiyuan Mansion could only be coerced into attacking.But no matter the reason, Cheng Shijie would definitely not be soft on them.

Cheng Shijie said: "Get ready to shoot!"

Some of the scouts of the Annan Legion in Ningnanhai are equipped with crossbows and Chongzhen eight-year-style rifles, and they are all the elite among the elite. Most of them have a [-]% chance of hitting at a distance of [-] steps. Target.Especially when Chongzhen's eight-year-style rifle is shooting, it does not need to stand up like a crossbow, and be exposed to the rain of Mongolian arrows.

All the Ning navy officers and soldiers guarded behind the sandbags on the city wall and aimed their rifles at the enemy.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Continuous gunshots swept across the battlefield, and the bullets shot out like a wind, falling into the middle of the enemy army, and the sound of bullets entering the flesh was endless.

Whether it is the Mongolian warlord team or the rebel soldiers who acted as cannon fodder, they are all treated equally, and they all fall to the ground and howl when they are shot by the bullet. Generally, the lethality of Chongzhen's eight-year-style bolt-action rifle is too terrifying. Once it is shot, it will go in from the chest to the back and come out from the chest. Even if it is not dead, it will be seriously injured!
The rebels were in a mess, and the officer hissed and screamed: "Raise the shield! Raise the shield!"

Sword and Shield Hand woke up like a dream, and raised his shield to form a shield wall, trying to stop the terrible rain of arrows.But the bullets kept coming, piercing the shield directly, forming bigger wounds on the shield's upper body, and people were constantly shot to death on the ground by the bullets penetrating the shield.

It can be seen from the city wall that there are gaps in the shield wall, and people are screaming and falling into the trenches, and the howling is heartbreaking.

Although the first wave of attack was easily repelled, if the Mongolian army attacked by itself, they would definitely stop and rest, but now they are only driving cannon fodder, and the rebel soldiers were driven to launch the second wave before they even had time to catch their breath. wave of attack.

Cheng Shijie could see clearly that the reconnaissance soldiers of the Annan Corps of the Ninghai Navy used rifles and grenades to repel the second wave of cannon fodder offensive.

However, the Mongolian army seemed to be crazy, and launched three waves of attacks in just one hour, and the bullets and grenades of the Ning Navy officers and soldiers were consumed very quickly.

Cheng Shijie didn't have to worry at all when he was on the Baihe defense line, because he had too many ammunition reserves in his hand, but the problem was that even six-base ammunition wouldn't last long.

"Commander, the Tartars' attack has been repulsed!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Don't rush to celebrate, the Tartars will soon launch a second wave of offensive. After suffering, they will become angry and become fierce. They will be even more fierce. Our hard days are yet to come!"

Li Dingguo couldn't laugh immediately. After all, he was a general who grew up with Zhang Xianzhong. He was too familiar with this kind of battle before him. They also did this before.Only now he's on the defensive.In fact, he really wanted to lead the cavalry to charge for a while. However, he was a little frustrated when he saw the densely packed Mongolian cavalry outside the city.

Even if so many Mongols stood still and let them hack and kill, they would be exhausted to death.

Li Dingguo said with some headaches: "This...how can we do this? We don't have reinforcements, so we can't stop it!"

"What else? I can only block it first. You are in charge of commanding. I will go to the city to see if I can find something useful!"

When Cheng Shijie came to the city of Pingdingzhou, a headhunter named Zhang was leading dozens of young and strong men, looking for shit all over the city, yes, looking for shit.

Golden juice is a sharp weapon for defending cities in ancient times, and it is also the original version of biochemical weapons. The main component of golden juice is human or animal feces. It is boiled with arsenic or tung oil and feces. After boiling, it is poured on the siege soldiers. It will cause a lot of casualties, even in later generations, scalding is very difficult, not to mention, the golden juice contains huge poison and a lot of bacteria, once injured, it can't be cured at all.

However, the effect of golden juice is best in summer or spring and autumn, but the effect is not good in winter. The siege soldiers wear thick clothes, and the golden juice is easy to cool down quickly when the cold wind blows, and it is not hot at all. through.

However, having golden juice to help defend the city can also save too many grenades. Just as Cheng Shijie walked for a long time holding his nose, he found a huge house where dozens of carpenters were working in full swing, or making one by one. Large wooden cans, or made into spears, were immediately removed after the wooden cans or spears were made.

The wooden jar was sent to the house next door, and a group of people skillfully filled it with black powder, iron nails, pieces of earthen jar, etc., and then sealed it, and it was there.

Cheng Shijie naturally knew that this was a commonly used defense weapon in the army of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the ancestor of the grenade equipped by the Ning Navy. Such things, once they explode, are definitely not a joke, and Hong Tianlei has piled up several piles.

As for weapons such as throwing guns, they will be distributed as soon as they are taken out, and groups of young and strong will be armed.

Now the fate of the entire city's soldiers and civilians is tied together, and the common people know that even if they want to run, they can't run away from the Mongols outside the city. Where can they run in the icy and snowy environment?Only by defending Pingdingzhou City can they survive.

"Big guy!"

Seeing Cheng Shijie's arrival, all the people saluted Cheng Shijie one after another.

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "Fathers and folks, this commander has good news for everyone. We repelled the three attacks of the Tartars!"

"Great, great!"

Cheng Shijie said: "However, the Tartars have not given up, they will come again, so we have to use these secret weapons! You speed up production, who knows how long this battle will take, and prepare more guys. That's right!"

Outside the city, the Mongolian army attacked for the third time and was repelled.

As Chechen Khan Shuo Lei, he didn't say anything, but let the two Mongols step up their preparations and launch the fourth round of offensive as soon as possible.Siege, how can it be so easy to take down, let alone those big cities with a population of one million, even some small cities, it is not impossible to be defeated after several years of siege. There are many such battles in history. .

However, Shuo Lei didn't think that the city of Pingdingzhou could stop his attack, and if they could withstand it for three days, it would be considered a high point for them.

Chief Wan of Yatai thought that the morale of the defenders had been raised, and it would not be so easy to take down the county seat. He said to Shuo Lei, "King Khan, Minggou's muskets are quite tenacious, and our men don't have iron armor." They were shot to death and injured a lot! Can you please send a group of archers in heavy armor to suppress the muskets of the Ming army? If you suppress the muskets of the Ming dog, the battle will be much easier."

This request is reasonable, Shuo Lei said: "That Brun!"

"exist!"

"You take six hundred heavy armored archers to suppress the musketeers of the Ming army and cover the warriors from attacking the city!"

"As ordered!"

Na Brun didn't make any unnecessary moves, and went straight to point people.In a moment, six hundred archers in heavy armor lined up and joined the siege sequence.

These archers are wearing iron armor, but the iron armor is full of rust, it seems that these armors are old, and some are wearing chain mail. Even if it is a large base, he can't equip six hundred heavy armor soldiers. It was pieced together.

The strong bows in the hands of these heavy armored soldiers are thick and long, and the feathered arrows are in the shape of sharp mace, with spots of rust on them.It's not that these archers are too lazy and don't care about the rusted arrows, but they do it on purpose. Before the battle, they will soak the arrowheads in feces to make the arrowheads rusty and full of bacteria. Once they are shot, even if they If he was not shot to death on the spot, he would suffer from incurable diseases such as tetanus and septicemia, and he would almost die.

After several trials, Shuo Lei launched nine attacks in just one day, and after six or seven thousand lives were lost, he finally had a full understanding of Pingdingzhou City. Extremely tenacious, especially those musketeers.However, if the city of Pingdingzhou is broken, there is no better way.

Yatai said: "King Khan, you can't attack anymore! This ghost place is very evil, it's impossible to get through!"

Na Brun also saw his eyelids twitch, and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, it's not my men who are attacking the city, otherwise, after these few rounds, I'm afraid I will lose my money!"

Although all the soldiers who died were soldiers from the Ming army, he felt a little distressed if they died too many. No matter how cheap these soldiers were, they couldn’t be wasted like this. If they were all dead, who would serve them as slaves, who would help them mow grass and herd sheep?

Yatai took a step forward, and said to Shuo Lei: "Pingding Prefecture is really difficult to fight, the entire defense line is like a solid wall, with no flaws at all... How about we adjust our direction first, take down Lu'an Mansion first, and enter the big name House?"

This road is actually the offensive road of Zasaktu Khan Subhadi. After breaking through Taiyuan, the Chechen Khan and Zasak Tuhan shared the spoils of Taiyuan City equally. They began to part ways in Taiyuan, and Chechen Khan went east to attack Pingding State, ready to break through Pingding Prefecture and then attack Yangquan County, take down Yangquan County, attack Jingxing, and then cross Taihang Mountains, attack Zhending Mansion, attack Baoding Mansion, and threaten Gyeonggi.

On the other hand, Zasaktu is going to attack Lu'an Mansion, break Changzhi, and attack Fukouxing, break Fengyue Pass, attack Daming Mansion, and the richest mansion in the entire Northern Zhili area is not Shuntian Mansion, but Shuntian Mansion. Daming House.Since the third year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the right to participate in the political affairs of Shandong's chief envoy, rectified the military preparations of the daimyo, governed the three prefectures of daimyo, Guangping, and Shunde, and formed the Tianxiong army, which was the first in Ming Dynasty to have its own military funds. military.

And there are three prefectures in one shot, which is equivalent to a part of Xingtai City, Puyang City, Anyang City, Hebi City, Xinxiang City, and Heze City in later generations, and it is also the junction and junction of the four provinces of mountains and rivers.

Especially Daming Mansion, as Lu Xiangsheng's base, spent money to build many roads and ditches, repair the city walls, and improve road traffic in the past few years, which quickly changed the appearance of Daming Mansion.A few years ago, the Earth Master found two large coal mines and more than a dozen iron mines in the territory of Daming Mansion. The high-quality anthracite stored in them made the Tianxiong army ecstatic, and they spent huge sums of money on mining, not only for steelmaking, but also for mining. A large supply of daimyo Shinsada and Jingshi, relying on a large amount of anthracite and steel, the pockets of the poor people in daimyo prefecture have been inflated like blowing balloons.

Once the Daming Mansion is occupied, the results obtained are no less than that of the Shuntian Mansion.

"No, Ben Khan, I'm not very interested in Pingding Prefecture, but now, I have to take it down!"

Shuo Lei pointed at the black tiger flag flying high on the city wall with his horsewhip, and roared, "That battle flag is more important than ten Pingding prefectures! Lu Xiangsheng was trapped on the Huguang battlefield and will not be able to return for the time being. Then cut down that battle flag, and in the entire Ming Dynasty, no one can stop the rolling cavalry of the Chechen Khans!"

Yaguan was in a hurry: "But Pingdingzhou City is too strong, we can't chew it at all! And it is guarded by Daming's number one general, even if we are all killed here..."

Shuo Lei roared like thunder: "What's the matter? What's the matter? No matter how powerful he is, he is only one person, with only a few thousand defeated soldiers around him! What can we do with a few thousand rabble with our [-] army?"

Shuo Lei stared at Pingdingzhou City, with a cold expression, and grinned: "Cheng Shijie, do you think I can't do anything to you if you set up a tortoise array? You are indeed a master of defense. The entire defense line is like an iron fortress. In Liaodong, I really can't do anything about you, but I absolutely shouldn't, those nerds shouldn't have let us in! In Shanxi, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Shuo Lei swung his horsewhip vigorously and shouted: "Send people to arrest the Ming people in the surrounding area, and let them attack the city instead of us!"

Yatai was confused: "Catch the common people? Even our elite troops can't break through the line of defense. What use are those unarmed common people?"

"Why didn't it work?"

"Who said they are useless? At least they can help us fill up the trenches, at least they can help us consume a few crossbow bolts and bullets!"

When Shuo Lei said this, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Pingdingzhou City. The bloodthirsty and crazy eyes made people shudder: "I want to see, facing thousands of myself The common people, can those smart dogs be so ruthless as to shoot and shoot! I want to see how many common people are going to be massacred, so that the Duke of Hai, who is known as loving the people like a son, is willing to come out of that turtle shell, Fight me upright!"

The Mongolian army retreated like this, and did not attack again.Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief, and seized the time to repair the battlements destroyed by shells. The wounded soldiers were carried down to treat them with all their strength, and the vacancies that appeared were filled by young men who volunteered to join the army.

The casualties of the Ming army were very small, and the soldiers of the Ning navy were very proud of killing more than seven or eight thousand enemy troops with such a small cost of casualties, and the people of Pingding Prefecture also put their hearts in their stomachs.

Only Cheng Shijie's gaze became deeper.

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Commander, don't look at the Tartars as fierce, but in fact they have not been beaten. Before we have exerted much force, they collapsed!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said, "Our troubles are coming!"

Cheng Shijie can tell what these Mongols are doing. The Taiyuan Mansion of the Ming Dynasty accounts for nearly 20.00% of the entire population of Shanxi. Group, more than 80 people.

But the problem is that now he really can't do anything, he can only beg for one thing, to see if the reinforcements from Ning Haijun come quickly, or the people captured by Mongolia come back quickly.

It can be said that now is the speed of life and death, racing against time.

Just as Cheng Shijie was thinking, there were scattered sounds of horseshoes in the east of Pingdingzhou City.

……

On the official road in Yangqu County, Zhending Prefecture, there were a large number of refugees fleeing. These people were heading east along the official road. The common people thought that if they fled to the capital, the emperor would not ignore them.

However, a retrograde team appeared on this official road. There were old and young in these teams. Everyone straddled their waists and knives, braved the wind and snow, led mules and horses, and marched forward with difficulty.

This is a relatively small bodyguard team, the head bodyguard is about 40 years old, accompanied by dozens of bodyguards on horses, and hundreds of unicycles, full of supplies.

"Chief Escort, we have now entered Yangqu County, only two hundred miles away from Zhengding Prefecture, and there is still time to turn around!"

Li Guanying, the head of the escort, is from Cangkou. He owes Cheng Shijie his life. When he was walking the escort, he wanted to train his son, but he never encountered bandits. He was seriously injured and had nowhere to call for help. He happened to meet Cheng Shijie when he came to Beijing. Cheng Shijie asked the military doctor next to him to operate on him, gouged out the carrion, and used strange medicine.

Although Li Guanying didn't understand, he knew that the medicine was hard to find, but Cheng Shijie still saved his son. Sticking to Pingding Prefecture, Li Guanying decided to go to Pingding Prefecture.

Of course, Li Guanying adopts the principle of voluntary, willing to go, he pays the settling fee, unwilling to go, he is not reluctant, originally more than 800 people in Zhengxing Escort Bureau, now less than 300 people are willing to follow Li Guanying to Pingding Prefecture.

As a bodyguard in the rivers and lakes, Li Guanying may not have the desire to change his bicycle into a motorcycle.

What kind of person is Cheng Shijie?There is no way to fight him, but the problem is, if Cheng Shijie gets along well, who would dare not sell his face in the world in the future?
"Everyone, Li owes Marshal Cheng a life. This time, Li has no plan to come back alive. The two armies are facing each other. Li has no other skills. At least he can block a few arrows for Marshal Cheng!"

Li Guanying said: "If anyone is afraid, they can go back immediately. When Li comes back, let's have a good time together. If Li doesn't come back, next year will burn incense for Li!"

"The head of the security guard always urinates standing up, he's a coward, he's quit this job a long time ago!"

In fact, how many people can't figure out Li Guanying's thoughts?
Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, and the blog must be blogged.
