"The thieves have some brains, this village has a water source, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a way to retreat. Wang Pu couldn't help but admire Xu Hongjie, the tiger down the mountain, he built the village on the high ground by the Yellow River, backed by the Yellow River, and surrounded by a two-layer wooden wall with a steep slope in front of him, through the telescope you can see that there are suspected artillery on the wooden wall, if the village has enough food, he can only attack.

"The artillery is in place. Wang Pu ordered.

"The artillery is in place. "

"The artillery is in place. In order to avoid the distortion of the order, Wang Pu took out a command flag and handed it to the soldiers around him, who knelt down to receive the order flag, stuck it on his back, turned around and flew across the war horse and galloped away in the direction of the artillery.

The Shenjia battalion carried ten small-caliber rifled cannons, with a barrel length of six feet, a net weight of one ton, a wheeled base, equipped with a pitch angle adjustment device, and an effective firing range of 500 steps, which was more advanced than the famous Napoleonic cannon in history.

"The army sent by the Dog Emperor is just such a few people, haha. Seeing the officers and soldiers slowly approaching in the distance, the number was only about 1,000, Yang Wanchun was happy on the wall, sweeping away the previous haze.

"Brother Xu, the day before yesterday you said that this Wang Pu is the son of a general in the imperial court, I guess this son is not very favored, or I will meet him when I go out. Du Xiaofeng was full of confidence and said eagerly.

"Brothers, don't worry, it's not time to fight. Xu Hongjie stared at the silver snake below, but his expression became more and more solemn, and he expected the scene of the official army flag rolling completely different, the opposite army did not have many flags, but there were more than 300 armor soldiers, before the county order Chen Dog Officer fought several battles, Xu Hongjie knew the strength of the armor soldiers, after all, this is a dog emperor's elite soldiers, it is said to be a part of the Shenji battalion, originally did not dare to expect an easy victory, to the enemy This was already in his expectations.

"Brother Xu, look, is that a cannon? Du Xiaofeng pointed to the enemy in the distance and said.

"Ten small cannons, it doesn't matter. Xu Hongjie said casually.

Suddenly, the

muzzle of one of the small cannons flashed, and a cannonball smashed into the open space not far from the wall, splashing earth and stones, and at the same time the dull sound of cannons followed. Xu Hongjie and the others looked at each other, they were all shocked by the sharpness of the guns of the officers and soldiers, how did they know that the shape of the rifled artillery shells was slender and the air resistance was much smaller, so the firing range was longer.

This is the

proofreading test firing, and then a salvo of nine shells has seven shots in the middle of the wooden wall, one of which penetrates the wooden wall and whizzes through the crowd, bluffing everyone in the rebels, and after a while, it is another round of salvo, this time the hit is more accurate, there are two people on the wall who were swept away by the shells, rolling in the air and seeing no life.

"No, they're going to shoot our earthen cannons and bring them down. Xu Hongjie came to his senses and hurriedly ordered.

"It turned out to be a fake artillery, and the order was given to the artillerymen, and it was enough to hit a base. Wang Pu saw that the thieves unloaded the artillery on the wall, and he was sure that if the real artillery was thousands of pounds at every turn, it was impossible to lift it easily, so it could be seen that the artillery carried away by two or three people was just a fake. The so-called one base is a hundred shells, this time Wang Pu only brought five base shells, all of which are extremely expensive bronze solid bullets, each worth three taels, Wang Pu's Shenjia battalion has excellent equipment ahead of the times, can restrain most of the troops of this era, only afraid of artillery, his musketeers and heavy infantry are used to moving slowly in dense phalanxes, if they encounter enemy artillery arrays, they must suffer heavy casualties, so they did not hesitate to build ten cannons for accurate destruction of enemy artillery. After repeated attempts, it was found that even if the lead solid bullet smashed on the iron cannon, it could only make a dent on the barrel, and the damage effect was limited, because the lead was too soft, and the hard iron solid bullet would damage the rifling.

"Damn, the officials and soldiers are too bullying, Brother Xu, the younger brother is willing to take someone to kill the general, and chop up Wang Pu's birdman and feed it to the dogs. "Du Xiaofeng has more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, and the number of officers and soldiers on the opposite side is only a thousand, and more than half of them are still firecrackers, that thing will also listen to a sound, and it will blow up from time to time, no bird use, only 300 ironclad soldiers and 100 cavalry are a little tricky, but they have the advantage of the terrain, although the cavalry is fierce, but they can't climb the slope, they are condescending to the tiger down the mountain, even if they can't fight, they can retreat calmly, and they will not be bitten by the cavalry of the official army, and they can be undefeated.

Xu Hongjie also felt that the passive beating was too demoralizing, and nodded and encouraged when he heard the words: "Brother Du don't fall in love with the war, let the soldiers bring more torches, and withdraw if the artillery of the official army is ignited and blown up, we still have to keep the soldiers and horses to attack the county seat, and we can't lose too much, I estimate that as long as the city is held, the official army will not be able to attack the emperor for a long time, and Wang Pu Xiao'er will be condemned. "

"Brother Xie Xu, the younger brother will go back as soon as he goes, and he must teach the thief officer and army to know how powerful we are, hum. Du Xiaofeng said confidently.

"Look, the thieves

are coming down, withdraw the cannons, the thieves are going to destroy our cannons. When the prison guard Huang Dahu saw the enemy's gate open, he immediately shouted, but Wang Pu was noncommittal, staring at the thieves surging out of the gate.

"Wang Jie, what are you still doing in a daze, I didn't see the thief army menacing, don't underestimate the enemy, you must know that the soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, the thief army is a surprise attack, and the slightest carelessness is a big defeat. Seeing that Wang Pu was stunned, Huang Dahu was even more angry, and almost roared in front of Wang Pu.

"What Lord Huang said is reasonable, just wait for me to give the order. Although Wang Pu hated this person, he didn't dare to offend easily, the prison army had a royal flag, and he could take himself down on the spot. The thieves rushed down in a hurry, making Wang Pu very surprised, and wondering in his heart, where is this like a war, it is clearly like Brother Hao Nan taking a pheasant and other brothers to smash the field and cut people, and there is a sense of drama that is not very real in a trance, so that he was stunned for a while.

"The firecrackers are in position. Wang Pu ordered.

"The firecrackers are in position. "

"The firecrackers are in position. "

Each hundred-person team is

equipped with a special waist drum, after the rapid waist drum, "all pay attention, walk in unison" The hundred-person team shouted loudly, and the three hundred musketeers stepped on the drum and marched forward in unison, Chen Shiliang and Huang Dahu looked at this scene and almost dropped their jaws, is this going to dance for the thief army, not to mention that it looks good, the two looked at each other, and they both wanted to get a determined look from each other's faces, but they were disappointed to see a look of shock.

Chen Shiliang and Huang Dahu listened to the drums, and saw that the officers and soldiers stepped on the drums, and only felt very ridiculous, but on the high ground, Xu Hongjie saw a strange and incomparable army from a distance, and the hands and feet of the three hundred officers and soldiers were the same as a stacked shadow, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Du Xiaofeng led more than 1,000 soldiers to rush down the steep slope, and in the earth-shaking shouting and killing, he saw that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side slowly sent out firecrackers, and couldn't help but smile contemptuously, as long as the thin layer of firecrackers array was close to the body, it would immediately collapse, and the ironclad soldiers behind were rushed by the defeated soldiers, and they immediately fell into chaos.

"Ready, put. With a crackling sound, more than 30 people fell at the front of the thief army, as if the cheese had been peeled off by an invisible knife, among which Du Xiaofeng, the thief head, was too eye-catching, and many people in the officers and soldiers deliberately pointed their guns at him, and immediately hit several bullets and rolled to the ground.

Immediately after another volley, the cheese was peeled again, and gradually some of the more clever soldiers at the front of the thief army noticed that something was wrong, there were too many people who fell, and they had to slow down, but the soldiers behind did not know the situation in front of them, and they couldn't hold it down the slope, and they still arched the reluctant soldiers in front. The array of guns is divided into five sections and is endless, each round of salvo raises a row of blood mist in the front of the thief army, Wang Pu counted to the seventh round, the thief army finally woke up, and someone shouted: "Run if you are defeated." The thieves were defeated, and fled one after another, hating that two feet were not enough, and that they were so embarrassed to crawl on the ground with their hands and feet.

Chen Shiliang laughed heartily when he saw it, he had been surrounded by the thief army in the city these days, and he finally stretched out a little at this time.

"In the past, this official boasted of knowing soldiers, but he didn't know the height of the sky, but today it was Li Ghost who bumped into Li Kui, and he was ashamed. After that, Chen Shiliang gave Wang Pu a deep salute.

"Lord Chen praised it falsely, the so-called art industry has a specialty, and Wang is doing this, hehe. Wang Pu said triumphantly.

"Such a great victory, the thief army is already discouraged, if you send someone to persuade you to surrender, know it with kindness, righteousness and benevolence, make it surrender, persuade it to plough, and use both grace and power, and the long-term technique. Huang Dahu was obsessed with leaving a beautiful talk that could be praised by the world, and advocated persuasion.

"Lord Huang thinks why they are rebelling. Wang Pu asked with a frown.

"I was bewitched by thieves and confused for a while. "

"Rebellion in a moment of confusion, this is too hasty, there has never been a way to live before rebellion, can we give them a way to live, persuade them to plough, where is the arable land, this is 10,000 people, where to find enough arable land. "Some words Wang Pu dare not say, ordinary people work hard, but the grain that can be grown is not enough to pay taxes, so the more you farm, the more taxes you owe taxes, in the Ming Dynasty, tax arrears will be punished, and the people have only two ways to go, rebel to survive or be killed by the government because of tax arrears. The root cause of this strange evolution lies in land annexation, with the vast majority of the land in the Ming Dynasty belonging to scholars who did not have to pay taxes, while the majority of the country's taxes were borne by commoners who only occupied a small portion of the land.

"Well, that's up to you. Not to be outdone, Huang Dahu asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, I can only take one step at a time. Wang Pu reluctantly replied that the Ming Dynasty was hopeless, and he only wanted to accumulate enough strength to defeat the Eastern Emperor when the building collapsed, and perhaps to establish a better new dynasty.

That night, the leaders of the stockade gathered together.

"The official army is not so powerful, Brother Xu, why don't you surrender. "Yang Wanchun is really frightened, those fire guns can take people's lives more than a hundred steps apart, it's useless to wear armor, the middle one dies instantly, and the poison is incomparable.

"If you fall, it's still a death, and if you want to live, you have to fight for your life. Xu Hongjie sneered.

"Brother Xu is right, if Lao Tzu doesn't surrender, he will fight with the thieves and soldiers. "

"Surrender as soon as you eat a defeat, and don't learn to rebel if you are timid, useless things. "

Yang Wanchun was furious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to attack because he was isolated, so he could only pretend to be free and easy and laughed: "Brother, I advocate fraudulent surrender, and I don't really want to surrender." "

"Yang Wanchun, you take people to attack the enemy camp at night, if you have a capture, you will not be held accountable for those nonsense words before. Xu Hongjie stared at Yang Wanchun coldly and said, Yang Wanchun saw this look, his heart was cold, knowing that Xu Hongjie had murderous intentions, and he was busy kneeling down to receive his life.

Yang Wanchun returned to his barracks, immediately gathered more than 60 henchmen, and after going down the mountain in the dark, he secretly approached the official army camp. Thinking of this, Yang Wanchun secretly scolded Xu Hongjie for being mean, and his brother was going to kill him because of a little disobedience, you are unkind to me, Lao Tzu sent someone to negotiate with the official army to negotiate the conditions, and then surrendered to the official army.

After making up his mind, he took out a piece of white cloth prepared in advance, called a more clever subordinate, and gave an order, and the little soldier approached the official army camp while waving the white cloth, and kept shouting: We must surrender, don't fight.

Whenever Wang Pu set up camp in a place, he would dig a trench along the camp and collect the soil in the inner gully to form a simple city wall and moat, and the trench could also silt up excrement and all kinds of garbage, which was conducive to keeping the camp clean. According to the "Military Law Regulations (Trial)", all soldiers in the field camping are not allowed to remove their armor, Wang Pu's improved iron armor is sharp and angular, and it is easy to wear out the skin and flesh on the body for a long time, so it is necessary to line the chain mail, but the chain mail manufacturing is very time-consuming and troublesome, at present, most of the heavy armor infantry can only be lined with the standard cotton armor of the fire gun, Wang Pu's goal is to line all the heavy infantry with a set of chain mail for each person, and the outer layer of the iron armor has many defense holes, only the chain mail can make up for these loopholes. The heavy infantry has too high physical requirements, it is difficult to replenish, and one less one dies, so he must try his best to avoid casualties, so Wang Pu can only spare no money.

A crackling sound of fire firing woke Wang Pu from his sleep, he listened carefully for a while, and there was no sound of fighting, and called in to be on duty.

"Go and ask what's going on. "

"Yes, young master. "

At a moment's notice, the soldiers

reported: A thief army approached the camp by deception, and suddenly released arrows, but fortunately, the soldiers were alert and counterattacked in time, and there were no casualties so far.

The thieves are really cunning, and they dare to use the trick of surrendering, Wang Pu's memory of the peasant rebels in the late Ming Dynasty are very unreliable, and it is not uncommon to surrender and rebel, it seems that in the future, we must be careful not to accept surrender casually.
