I'm a big dick

Chapter 191 Repeatedly blocked, pardoned

The great grief instantly occupied the body and mind of the two, and they even forgot to punish the dereliction of duty soldiers and ask about the tragedy.

With snot and tears flowing, Amin and Jierharang wept bitterly for the loss of their loved ones.And because of the killing of these three executioners, how many people have tasted such sorrow.

.....................

"Boom, boom, boom!" A few gravel piles beside the road suddenly exploded without warning, a few puffs of black smoke rose, and the gravel shot into the air.

The Jiannu who were marching were blown dizzy, the wounded horses screamed and jumped, and the wounded soldiers screamed and screamed, falling into chaos.

Landmines should have been invented in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang even invented the earliest trigger mines, using a flint steel wheel as an ignition device.

However, this kind of trigger mine is expensive and has complicated processing technology, so it has not been used on a large scale.

The landmine attack on Jiannu this time was to twist and extend the lead wires of more than a dozen thunderbolts.Then use a hollow bamboo pole to lead to a hidden ignition place, and the lurking soldiers of the Ming army will ignite and detonate according to the timing.

The generals who returned to the army after learning martial arts in the middle school began to show their skills according to their own understanding of the "Infantry Exercise Code".There are also different emphases on the tactics of the headquarters army.

Zhang Pan is still relatively formal, and the fortifications are meticulously dug, paying more attention to the combination of light and heavy muskets and mine-throwing vehicles.

Kong Youde, on the other hand, focused on training the battle formation, hoping that one day he would be able to defeat Jiannu in an upright manner and chase them away in embarrassment.

Of course, this is related to the character of the generals and their understanding of new tactics.The focus is different, but it doesn't mean that a certain army can only defend or only attack, it just means that it is better at a certain style of play.

Different from Zhang Pan and Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu's thinking is more flexible and his ideas are more unique.When he was studying martial arts, he had the idea of ​​secretly going northward along the Yalu River, copying the idea of ​​Jiannu's hometown, and it may be possible to get a glimpse of his character and characteristics.

After conquering Manpu and Changcheng one after another, and successfully ambushing the Jiannu reinforcements who rushed over in a hurry, Mao Chenglu set up an ambush again on the main traffic road to intercept Jiannu.

Mao Wenlong agreed with Mao Chenglu's suggestion to defend Manpu and Changcheng with a small number of troops. Yang Jisheng's rear alliance, Mao Chenglu's former alliance and Kong Youde's right alliance set up an ambush in order to block and attack the enemy who came to help.

Just as Jianu was bombed and fell into chaos, bursts of roars suddenly erupted from the forests on the hillsides on both sides.

While the white smoke was rising, the flames kept flickering, and hundreds of muskets fired howling lead bullets at the Jiannu on the road.

At the same time, the roar of muskets exploded as densely as popping beans, and there were even more ear-splitting explosions from farther away.That was the Jiannu forward who was deliberately let go, and now he has also been hit hard.

Hundreds of muskets on the hillside continued to emit flames, and Jiannu screamed and exclaimed, or hurriedly avoided, or fell down after being hit.

Jiannu, who was hit by a sudden attack, quickly adjusted, and the Ming army seemed to be slow to reload the muskets, and the gunfire gradually became thinner.

Under the command of the officers, Jiannu used bows and arrows first to suppress and fight back, and infantry armed with swords, shields and spears climbed up the hillside to attack the sneak attacking enemies.

But when Jiannu struggled to climb up the hillside to search and kill, the Ming army had already retreated, leaving only simple hiding places to squat and the smell of gunpowder still lingering in the air.

Sahalian immediately ordered a team of troops to rush to the rescue to rescue hundreds of forwards who were blocked and under siege.

But the cavalry only advanced for more than a mile, and there was another burst of fierce musket attacks on both sides.

Jiannu and his horse kept throwing themselves to the ground, screaming and neighing one after another.The frightened and undead horses ran and bumped, adding to the chaos of Jiannu.

"No—" Niu Luerzhen Buyantu howled in grief. He saw his brother's face blooming, bloody and bloody, and the Jianzhou warrior who had experienced many battles died under his horse.

Blood sprayed brilliantly, and on the less than [-]-meter official road, corpses of people and horses were everywhere, as well as wounded moaning and howling in pain, and Jiannu who rolled off their horses in panic to find shelter.

Every time a gun volley was fired, someone or a horse fell down, causing a burst of screams and neighing.

A ball of blood mist exploded from the back of the soldier captain, he turned around, and then knelt down on the ground, right in front of Niu Luerzhen Buyantu.

Another buckshot hit him in the abdomen, and looking down at the bleeding wound, the captain of the bodyguard's expression was full of surprise and disbelief.Blood kept spilling from between his fingers, and it was useless for him to cover it.

A personal soldier who was close at hand was hit and fell to the ground again. He clutched his neck and said hoo hoo repeatedly.

The lead bullet pierced the nail leaf on his neck, blood spurted out from the wound continuously, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The gunfire continued, and each volley was like the roar of a cannon, causing casualties and screams.

Niu Luerzhen Buyantu's eyes were red. The brave and fierce Jianzhou warrior fell miserably in a pool of blood without even having a chance to perform.

Suddenly, the war horse neighed violently, broke free from the reins, and rushed forward and backward like crazy, kicking and bumping.Another row of muskets came, and Buyantu was blocked by a bodyguard, but a sharp pain came from his right leg, and he half-kneeled on the ground in embarrassment.

The two personal soldiers rushed forward desperately, holding Buyantu and fleeing to avoid it.

The firing of muskets thinned out again, figures in the mountains and forests shook, and the Ming army shifted their positions again.

There is a tactic that seems to be called sequential blocking. Simply put, it is to set up multiple checkpoint positions and let the enemy break through.

The Ming army did not know the name of this tactic, and neither did Zhu Youxiao.

But it is exactly this style of play that is being used now, constantly retreating, constantly ambush, trying to use the location and the power of musket shooting, and constantly inflicting damage on the enemy.

He was blocked again, and once again rushed up the hillside to escape.Jiannu had to slow down and sent troops to search along the hillside, while the brigade moved slowly on the official road.

When the Jiannu brigade arrived at the place where the striker was attacked, what appeared before their eyes was a miserable and bloody scene like a slaughterhouse.

Hundreds of Jiannu's forward troops were flanked by thousands of musketeers, and the entire army was wiped out.

The corpses lay across the pillows, and the smell of blood permeated the air, which rose even stronger due to the high temperature.

The blood was still flowing, and even the earth seemed unable to swallow the barking red liquid, and small blood puddles formed in many places.

The dead were in different shapes and were too horrible to look at.Among the corpses, there are still many bomb craters, exuding wisps of white smoke.

And just a hundred meters ahead, two trenches straddle the official road, and a parapet trench is as insurmountable as a solid wall.

Under the furious gazes of Yue Tuo, Sakhalian and other generals, the banner of the Ming army fluttered in the wind, and their bright red eyes hurt their dog eyes.

Beijing, Forbidden City.

Li Chengcheng walked on the corridor in the palace, holding a report in his hand, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

She didn't quite know the reason why the emperor summoned him suddenly, she thought it was to ask about the business situation of the shop.

Although she should have been remembered by the emperor in the store, she didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes.Of course, if the emperor values ​​it, being a female official is also very gratifying.

Under the shade of the tree in front, a little girl was sitting, wearing new clothes, not the dress of a court lady, but not as luxurious as a princess.

Li Chengcheng came closer to watch, only to find that the little girl was wiping away tears.

Seeing someone approaching, the little girl cast a hopeful look, sobbed with her mouth flattened, "I can't find my way back."

Li Chengcheng squatted down and asked curiously and doubtfully, "Which palace did you come from, and where are you going?"

Zhang Wan'er sniffled her little nose, but forgot the name Changchun Palace. She blinked her big eyes and fluttered her long eyelashes. She finally remembered her sister's name and said, "My sister's name is Zhang Yu'er. I'm from her." Walk out of the place where you live."

Zhang Yu'er, she is the woman who accompanied the emperor.Then he should be serving in Qianqing Palace, but why did he bring the girl into the palace?
Li Chengcheng was a little puzzled, she didn't know that Zhang Yu'er had been named Concubine Yu.

"Do you know my sister?" Zhang Wan'er asked expectantly.

Li Chengcheng nodded, seeing the cute look of the little girl, he really liked it, so he said with a smile: "Then I will take you to Qianqing Palace, your sister should be there."

Um, um, Zhang Wan'er nodded her head vigorously, stood up and obediently held Li Chengcheng's hand.

Li Chengcheng led Zhang Wan'er and walked towards Qianqing Palace while chatting.

In Qianqing Palace, the young emperor ordered Liu Ruoyu to draw up an imperial decree and sent it to the cabinet.

This imperial decree has been held back for a long time, and Zhu Youxiao didn't think it could be issued until Li Dan and other sea merchants went to Nanyang to buy grain and transport it to Liao.

That's right, this is exactly the decree of grace and forgiveness expected by many gentry and landowners.But even though they have paid the arrears, they are still not included in the exempt objects, which is really a slap in the face.

Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan provinces were the first to be exempted. Residential households who pay taxes of less than five taels of silver will be exempted this year;

However, those exempted from half of the tax include Beizhili, Shandong, Sichuan and Guizhou, and the areas affected by the Wenxiangjiao uprising and She'an chaos are all exempted;
No matter which area is exempted, five taels of silver are also used as a benchmark, and landlords and gentry are also excluded.

Coordinated with this policy are the imperial edicts in the Dibao and the "Daming Forum".

"Since the rise of the army, the world's noble gentry, official officials who have been appointed to know seals, and famous Confucian officials and Confucian scholars have all been given advantages and exemptions. These people are all wealthy families, and they enter the body with money. What contribution to the court, Anti-Mongolian leniency?"

"Now it is proposed that the Department of Cultural Affairs, Dao, Fu, prefecture, and county will make another volume of report and solution department for the previously exempted Dingliang and Yinliang.

What do you mean, to tell those officials, gentry and Confucian scholars that the country is troubled, you bastards are quite rich, but not only do you not spend money and work hard, but you also take the discount with peace of mind, shameless?
