Chapter 224 Murder

The powerful players in the rivers and lakes are amazing, but they are still not enough to look at in the face of the army, unless they are as brave as Li Chaomeng, but even if they are as brave as Li Chaomeng, they are not arrogant enough to dare to fight against a battalion of mandarin ducks alone, and they are still mandarin ducks with muskets array.

Bang!
There was a sound of musket guns, just now he was flying up and down the head of Lin Biao and directly dodged to avoid it, but there is a famous saying in the world, I don’t know if you know it, that is, no matter how good your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives, no matter how good your moves are, one shot down.

The musket directly hit Escort Lin's leg, and Escort Lin's movements immediately slowed down. For those who use fast swordsmanship, legwork is very important. These masters usually train very carefully and work hard.

Since I was very young, I had to practice wearing sandbags on my legs, and the weight was getting heavier and heavier. Take off the sandbag on the top, then this person instantly becomes a master of high-level and high-level movements.

This is how Qinggong is practiced. Now that one shot has destroyed Escort Lin's leg, Escort Lin immediately lost the power to fight back, and immediately followed by the wolf wand, he directly attacked him. Escort Lin wanted to dodge, but was caught by the wolf. Dian directly held it down, followed by Tang Palladium who also came over to fix Lin Biao's head.

Escort Lin struggled vigorously, at this moment ten red-tasseled guns blocked all Escort Lin's escape routes, and Escort Lin was stabbed in the heart with one gun, and died.

This time Li Chaolong and Shi Xiaolei accepted the task of not killing everyone in this line and leaving no one alive.

Including these bodyguards and swordsmen, the first reason is to keep it secret, and the second reason is that when they help the Tartars, they are traitors, and Li Chaosheng's attitude towards traitors is to kill without mercy.

The killings are still going on, bodyguards, swordsmen, these ordinary people who look very powerful, are vulnerable to the well-trained and well-matched Lantian army. one person.

In this way, the maximum damage can be achieved.

clap clap clap...

The sound of musket guns and killing resounded throughout the battlefield, and the most difficult ones were the Manchurian Tartars. After many rounds of charging, they were still clamoring, although there were only about [-] of them left, and all of them were wounded. , but still bravely resisting, doing everything possible to kill the enemy.

Compared with the Tartars, these swordsmen and bodyguards are simply weak. No wonder the people of Ming Dynasty turned pale when they talked about the Tartars. It turns out that they are really good at fighting.

But it doesn't matter. The gap between people is not as big as imagined. The Tartars are brave to see who they compare with. Compared with the corrupt guards of the Ming Dynasty, they are powerful. Compared with the rogues and bandits, they are also invincible. .

But compared with Li Chaosheng's Lantian Army, they are just stronger prey.

The Han people have trained well, and they will definitely not lose to the Tartars, but the Han people have a lot of thoughts, and if they have more thoughts, their combat effectiveness will be insufficient, because the goal is not pure, and they don't work hard.

But once the Han people's goals become pure, like those soldiers in Liaodong, they are actually very capable of fighting, even charging each other with the Tartars without losing the wind, why?

Because it was a private army, it was Zu Dashou, it was Yuan Chonghuan, it was Wu Sangui's private army, they could fight with their lives, they knew why they were fighting, they were fighting for their own master, their own land.

Therefore, they are not afraid of death and can kill countless enemies.

It’s not that Daming has no talents. On the contrary, Daming has too many talents. When there are too many talents, the mind becomes impure, and everyone starts to think for themselves, and everyone is for themselves. No one is for the country of Daming, and Daming will become dilapidated.

On the surface, Daming still has a large territory, but if you look closely, this territory is composed of countless vested interest groups, the gentry class in the south of the Yangtze River, almost monopolizing the officialdom of Daming, the Donglin Party, or various high-ranking officials, almost half of them From Jiangnan.

Then these big officials took power, and they began to seek benefits for their hometowns. For example, Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, but does not pay taxes when it is prosperous, and the most prosperous place in Ming Dynasty does not pay taxes. Liaodong.

Can the Northwest not oppose it?

Liaodong, this is a vampire with a big tail, absorbing Daming's wealth and population, like a quagmire, dragging Daming, there is no way to get out of it, can only struggle hard, helpless.

Afterwards, in the remaining places, there were tyrants from all over the country, with intertwined roots, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and it was even more impossible to count on them.

So Daming seems to be a whole, but it is actually a tattered rag. Liaodong sucks blood, Jiangnan is stingy, northwest is poor, and natural disasters continue. , At that time, Henan and Shandong will follow in the footsteps of the Northwest.

As for Yunguichuan, it’s alright there. Sichuan is guarded by Qin Liangyu, and Yunnan is guarded by Prince Mu’s Mansion. They are both safe and sound, but that’s just stability. He was also thrown away by the court in Liaodong, and even his brother Qin Banghan died in the Battle of Hunhe in 1621.

It can be said that Daming’s Jiangshan is like a person who has changed from cancer. Liaodong is a cancer cell. He constantly absorbs nutrients from his body. As a result, the richest and most nutritious Jiangnan is unwilling to provide nutrients, so they can only absorb other people. elsewhere.

Nutrients from other places were already struggling, but after being absorbed in this way, they immediately died, and this repeated itself in a vicious cycle until Daming's body fell apart.

In fact, many people in Da Ming knew about Da Ming's illness, but many people in Da Ming had vested interests, and it was impossible for them to lose their own interests to help this huge empire.

For example, the court princes who are full of civil and military affairs, full of fat brains, if they have a family and country, Daming will not perish, but they don’t, they are just a group of vampires lying on Daming’s thin body and sucking blood. When Daming falls, they just change their masters .

In fact, it is pitiful, except for the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the court who cares about the country of Ming Dynasty, only Li Chaosheng, the traveler, cares about it.

The emperor cared because the ministers could surrender, but his subjugated king could not.

And Li Chaosheng cared because he knew how the Manchus treated the Han people, and he had regrets for this dynasty in his heart. This is a kind of concern for those who travel through.

The battle has come to an end.

The bodyguards and swordsmen were vulnerable, and now there were not many standing, only the ten Manchurian Tartars who were still fighting, and Fan Yongfa, who was scared and hid under the car.

The Lantian Army shrunk the encirclement, and Shi Xiaolei led the firearms battalion to surround Heerba and the others, who were covered in blood at this time. At this time, Heerba and the others gathered several grain carts together, hid behind the grain carts, and fought back with bows and arrows. Shi Xiaolei et al.

And Li Chaolong let the shield bearer stand in front, leaving only a gap for the Musketeers to shoot, and the remaining Tartars could no longer escape.

And Heerba and the others also knew that they couldn't run today, but the brave Tartars didn't give in, but stared and prepared to fight to the end.

Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaolong met, Li Chaolong looked at Shi Xiaolei and said: "What about the ten Tartars, should they all be shot?"

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "Don't, this is a rare item, see if you can catch it alive, give it to the brigade commander, the brigade commander will probably like it."

After hearing this, Li Chaolong looked at Shi Xiaolei and said, "Are you sure the Brigadier would like a living tartar?"

Shi Xiaolei said with a smile at this time: "I should like it. The brigade commander has always said that the Lantian army beats bandits, and the bandits travel. He will feel frightened when he hears about the Tartars. After all, the reputation of the Tartars has spread throughout Shaanxi over the years, so the brigade commander Said they want to hold an exhibition, capture a group of Tartars for the army to see, these guys have not grown two heads and ten hands."

Li Chaolong heard this and said: "That's right. When I first saw the Tartars, I was also shocked, and my heart was pounding. I didn't feel anything after a fight."

Shi Xiaolei nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Li Chaolong said: "Then try to surrender!"

Shi Xiaolei said: "I'll come."

After saying this, Shi Xiaolei came to the front of the formation, at this time the besieged Herba wiped the blood from his forehead and said: "Mu Lizhen, you are the youngest, in a while, we will find an opportunity to see if we can send you out. "

"Ah, Herba, what are you talking about? How could the brave Jianzhou warrior abandon his companions and live alone, and die together."

After hearing this, Herba said: "Mu Lizhen, I am not discussing with you, this is my order, we need someone to bring the news here to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can avenge us!"

After hearing this, Mu Lizhen wanted to say something, but Herba stopped him. At this time, Herba looked up and looked through the gap, and found that the enemy was surrounded and did not attack. At this time, Herba looked around again and said: "Mu Lizhen's enemy is too strong, it is impossible to break through, we can only try to negotiate."

Thinking of Herba, he shouted: "Ming, let's talk!"

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei looked at Li Chaolong, Li Chaolong shook his head and signaled Shi Xiaolei to talk, Shi Xiaolei was not polite, at this moment he raised his voice and said, "Tartar, what do you want to talk about?"

Herba said: "Ming Ming, we have an underage child here. If you spare his life and let him go, we are willing to pay 1 taels of silver."

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei laughed and said: "As long as it is a Tartar, regardless of male, female, young or old, there is no way to escape. Let me ask you, are you willing to surrender or die!"

Speaking of Shi Xiaolei shrinking the encirclement, the shield hand began to push in, Herba shouted angrily when he saw this: "Rush, rush in one direction, as long as you can rush out, let Mu Lizhen go."

"Yes, kill!"

The Tartars yelled, and then waved their knives and wanted to rush out, but they were quickly beaten back by the shieldman. Herba led the men to try to charge a few times, but they were all unsuccessful.

At this time Herba was desperate, looked at Mulizhen and said: "Mulizhen, it seems that I can't send you away."

Mu Lizhen said without any fear: "I am also a warrior of Jianzhou, and I am not afraid of death!"

"Good job, hahaha..."

Herba laughed. At this time, Herba stared at Shi Xiaolei and the others who were gradually approaching and shouted: "Ming, you are powerful opponents. Let me ask you if you dare to fight us one-on-one. decisive battle!"

Herba's eyes were fierce at this time, staring at Shi Xiaolei with a pair of eyes, they wanted to take away another enemy before they died, kill one to earn money, and kill two to earn one.

After hearing this, many Lantian soldiers were eager to try, Shi Xiaolei saw this and said: "Sure enough, the Tartars are not easily recruited."

As Shi Xiaolei said, he immediately pulled out his saber, Herba and the others watched Shi Xiaolei prepare to fight Shi Xiaolei, but at this moment Shi Xiaolei shouted: "Shoot!"

clap clap clap...

A series of gunshots shot Herba and the others into gags in an instant. Before dying, Herba stared and couldn't believe that this wise man was so shameless. Didn't he agree on a fair duel?

At this time, Shi Xiaolei looked at Herba and the others and said with a sneer: "If I was alone, I would fight you, but I am the commander of an army. The brigade commander said that the commander's responsibility is to minimize the casualties of his subordinates. Now that the battle is over, it is impossible for me to joke about the lives of my subordinates because of the so-called honor, if this is really done, my brigade commander can slap me to death!"

Shi Xiaolei said, then inserted the knife into the scabbard, and said to Li Chaolong: "Clean the battlefield and see if there are any living people."

Hearing this, Li Chaolong immediately ordered people to clean the battlefield, and then stabbed all the dead people to prevent them from pretending to be dead. However, during the cleaning of the battlefield, they captured Fan Yongfa alive.

Fan Yongfa was terrified at this moment, trembling into a ball, looking at Shi Xiaolei and the others at this moment, he said: "Good man, good man, spare your life, spare your life."

Shi Xiaolei glanced at Fan Yongfa in disgust at this moment, he didn't have a good impression of the dog traitor, Fan Yongfa bowed again and again at this moment, at this time Shi Xiaolei said: "What should I do with this guy? Did he kill him?"

After hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "Press it first, and see if it is of any great use."

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei kicked Fan Yongfa to the ground and said, "Tied."

While talking, a large group of people came from the mountains in the distance, the leader was Liu Airen, followed by [-] militiamen pushing wheelbarrows.

Liu Airen pushed a wheelbarrow as the leader. When they arrived here, the three of them greeted each other, and immediately put the food on the wheelbarrow down, and then a group of people took advantage of the darkness to push the wheelbarrow away. There is too much food, they have a temporary transfer station in Qinling, where the food can be transported, and then slowly transported back to Lantian County.

And Li Chaolong, Shi Xiaolei and others also took advantage of the darkness to start dealing with the battlefield. The corpses should be buried, the carriages were all burned, the horses were taken away, and even the blood-stained land was taken away. At dawn, a group of people hurried along the Qinling Mountains and fled to Lantian on the mountain road.

However, in order to deceive people, some people left footprints in the direction of northern Shaanxi. If they want to check, they will probably be recorded on Wang Jiayin.
