Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 154 bluff
The fierce battle of guns and guns lasted until dawn. It is estimated that in the entire Ming Dynasty, this kind of large-scale firearms did not shoot a few times. Song Qingshu's peasant army also retreated before dawn.

Both sides used bird guns, and no one took advantage of it. Song Qingshu also had a few guns that he didn't know what kind of guns they were shooting.

In the early hours of the morning, the last gleam of fire was also annihilated on the horizon. Immediately, the first ray of dawn in the east swaggered across the earth. Regardless of how much he lost, Du Wenhuan rushed to Song Qingshu's position on the opposite side with a dozen cavalry soldiers.

Some of the blood on the ground has not dried yet. It seems that the loss of the bandits last night is not small, but there is not a single corpse left. Going outside, there are several loess mountains blocking the mountains, densely packed with footprints. There were countless piles of horse manure thrown everywhere on the ground, and Du Wenhuan was even more stiff when he climbed the mountain.

The bottom of the mountain was also empty, but there were more densely packed footprints on the ground than the previous mountain, and there were also burned torches thrown on the ground, piled here and there, and the ashes stained the loess black. Judging by the number, it may not be less than [-] , The footprints spread for no less than twenty miles.

Standing on the loess slope, Du Wenhuan was stunned for about ten minutes without moving, until General Chen Wenli hurried up from the bottom of the mountain.

"General system, found the main force of the rogues!"

"Oh? Where?"

"Ten miles ahead, the plain of Luo's shop!"

…………

The Luojiapuzi said it was a plain, but it was actually a small flat land in the mountains, surrounded by bare loess mountains. There used to be some thin fields, but now they have long been abandoned, but at this time, the entire small plain is almost full. The fence made of wicker is supported by wooden stakes, and there are layers upon layers on the ground. There are even on the mountain, and densely packed flags of all kinds are swaying around, that kind of military might is overwhelming.

From the gaps in several mountains, several groups of officers and soldiers came out with spears and bee pupae. Immediately after that, hundreds of war drums on the side of the peasant army sounded at the same time, thousands of banners waved at the same time, and the battalions shouted curses. Like a plague of locusts shaking their wings, the humming sound made people's scalps go numb.

Faced with such a large formation, the officers and soldiers were also a little dazed. More than 1000 infantry gathered together to form a formation, and the soldiers behind stood firm and advanced. Then, the commander-in-chief Du Wenhuan, general Chen Wenli and others rode to the front of the formation to look out up.

Seeing a few people looking around, sweat dripped from Song Qingshu's forehead, he hurriedly turned his head and ordered loudly: "Wave the flag, keep shouting!"

Thousands of flags were swaying and running around, and the voices of the peasant soldiers were hoarse, and they continued to curse. After such a long time, Du Wenhuan finally turned around and returned to his camp. , The official army's rear team changed to the front team, and began to retreat hastily.

Song Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the officers and soldiers had really retreated, and sat on the ground with his legs softening and his buttocks softening.

Just told him that he was completely betting!The official army on the opposite side is very afraid of the main force of the peasant army. Last night's night attack was to give the opposite side a false impression of a large number of people. This is even more so today. In order to create such a spectacular army, Song Qingshu demolished the fences of more than 20 villages , and then he ordered the remaining 2 residents of Yan'an Mansion to work for him, and he worked tirelessly without sleep to make [-] scarecrows.

All the peasant armies that can be commanded are put in front by Song Qingshu. Every eight people is a banner. It looks like a large number of people, but it is actually more empty than Zhuge Liang's empty city plan. If Sima Yi sees through Zhuge Liang's plan, he will not be able to break through the city gate At one level, even if 15 Wei troops can't get in for a while, he is completely tofu.

Fortunately, I don’t know that the generals of the officers and soldiers on the other side are still being fooled. Now that the officers and soldiers are retreating, it is impossible to organize a second wave of troops to attack in ten days or eight days. At that time, Song Qingzaoshu will be able to swagger He took his men to chase Han Cheng.

Ever since Luo Rucai, the bastard, took revenge and forced himself to be the rear, Song Qingshu began to think about how to get the benefits without having to fight the officers and soldiers. Fortunately, the danger is dangerous now, at least he won the bet.

Even so, Song Qingshu didn't dare to be careless, and sat on the ground with weak legs for a while, Song Qingshu immediately jumped up excitedly, opened his mouth and shouted: "Old Xia, Li Tiezhu, you two immediately take the army Veterans, follow the officers and soldiers, watch them exit Zhidan County, and then report back, and the rest of them, continue to beat the drums, wave the flag, shout and curse, no one is allowed to stop without my order!"

"If you know, you have to torment me."

Scarface still had the same lazy look, but there was still an uncontrollable shock in his voice. When Song Qingshu's plan was launched, his comments were only two words, courting death!Who knows, now that it's done, Scarface doesn't know whether to say that Song Qingshu is a soldier like a god, or whether he should laugh at him for being a fool.

…………

This time the officers and soldiers really retreated. They walked fifty miles for a day yesterday, and retreated in half a day today. Moreover, Scarface saw the officers and soldiers withdraw from Zhidan County. He probably returned north to Yansui Town to gather troops. After waving the flag and shouting for a long time, the peasant army who was hoarse finally breathed a sigh of relief. Song Qingshu himself shouted hoarsely as if he had been pardoned.

"Take back the fence and the scarecrow, kill twenty pigs today, and reward everyone!"

"Long live the master!"

The Peasant Army brigade, who hadn't seen meat for several months, suddenly cheered loudly.

These fences and scarecrows were not wasted. In the northeast and northwest of Yan'an Mansion, Song Qingshu set up two "peasant army camps". Among the densely packed fences, scarecrows wearing rags stood upright, carrying Bangzi, it really looks like there are so many people, the remaining army and the old and the weak, but Song Qingshu is all stationed in the southeast of the city, and if there is a disturbance, he will run away immediately.

Come back in the afternoon to set up a suspicious formation, and it will be almost six o'clock in the evening before the busy work is over. Song Qingshu also keeps his word, and slaughtered all the livestock left for him by King Zijin Liang for his own use, regardless of age. You can get a sip of soup to drink, and now Song Qingshu has more than 8000 people under his command. Even if he kills more than [-] pigs, the meat of [-] pigs is enough for one person to eat one or two yuan.

However, some old farmers, especially Zhao Sheng's subordinates, who had not seen meat and flour for many years, were eating porridge with wild vegetables cooked in pork soup. Their eyes were full of tears after eating a meal. Song Qingshu The leader also became desperate.

Especially as the leader, Song Qingshu was still high-spirited and upright, he didn't eat a bite of meat.

It’s true that I didn’t save a single bite of meat for my family, and took it all out to cook. Song Qingshu himself made some offal that couldn’t be served on the countertop, such as spicy fried pork intestines, sliced ​​husband’s and wife’s lungs, pork liver dipped in soy sauce, and pork belly in red oil. We made a table, and with some other side dishes, we made a big table to celebrate.

It’s not decent these days to eat offal. People who have a certain status usually stay away from it. Xing Hongniang and Xing Laoguan are from the bottom, so it’s not surprising. They are rice and vegetarian, and I have never eaten offal, let alone Li Baoer, the eldest lady of Longhu Village.

Seeing the big guy eating rice with great joy, Caiwei hesitated for a long time holding up her chopsticks.

"Niu, don't worry, this thing tastes good, besides, it's your sister Han Juan'er's craftsmanship!" Seeing Caiwei hesitate, Song Qingshu just picked up a piece of spicy fried fat intestines for her, and then gave Li Bao'er a stare.

"If you want to be a woman of Lao Tzu, you have to eat what Lao Tzu eats!"

It was as if they were on the execution ground, the two girls frowned and finally swallowed the pig's large intestine and a piece of pig's heart, and immediately, their eyes lit up.

Not to mention the current age of lack of animal protein, even in later generations, green pepper sausage and pig heart will cost more than ten or twenty per plate in restaurants. , the two girls immediately joined the ranks of grabbing food, swinging their chopsticks quickly, seeing that Li Gu'er's face was covered with a few grains of rice because of eating too fast, Song Qingshu couldn't help but shook his head in a funny way, and stretched out his hand to help. She took it off.

This intimate action obviously made Li Bao'er stiff, but immediately, she watched Song Qingshu fill her mouth with rice grains in disbelief. Almost buried in her bulging chest.

But at this rare time when the whole city is celebrating, Song Qingshu's small yard by the city wall was knocked by someone who was not open-eyed. In the past, Song Qingshu had to open the door in Xing's class, but now he also You can hold the rice bowl and shake the chopsticks very well.

"Pillar, open the door!"

With an aggrieved face, Liu Dazhuzi put down his rice bowl, walked to the door impatiently, and pulled the latch with a bang, but a scholar's face appeared at the door.

It's not Zhao Sheng who lights the lamp, he also eats, and after almost a year of rebellion, this guy has long since lost his scholarly style, and he is no different from those old farmers when he grabs food.

"Who are you? What's the matter?"

Looking at Liu Dazhuzi's thin camel face full of impatience, Tian Boguang at the door took a step back tremblingly, but a strong smell of food came over his face, and the scholar swallowed heavily, and then dared to shouted courageously.

"Boss, I want to sue. The old man Jiao who is in charge of logistics is unfair. Everyone else has received a muddy broth. Why doesn't our family give it to us and let us eat corn bread!"

Scholars are all delicious and spicy, and now the food is not as good as the hungry people. Tian Boguang's family and several businessmen who were taken in by Song Qingshu felt aggrieved, and Tian Boguang came to sue alone.

It's a pity that the scholar felt that his boss was right, but Song Qingshu didn't even roll his eyelids. While continuing to shovel the food into his mouth, he muttered vaguely: "It's none of Lao Jiao's business. There is meat to eat, and those who have not fought, you know? Now you go."

Just kidding, a few scholars don't do anything in their own camp, but still want to eat delicious food?If it weren't for the fact that his twenty-odd ancient books were appraised and appraised to be valuable, Song Qingshu would have kicked out a few people who had nothing to eat.

The gap is too great, watching the smell of food, the door is closed, standing at the door for a long time can not come back to God, Tian Boguang almost fainted, but after all, he is also a scholar, his head is turning fast, Suddenly, he slapped the door again, shouting loudly.

"Boss, isn't there a lack of armor in the army? I have a solution!"

With a creak, the door opened again, this time, it was Song Qingshu himself who opened the door......
