Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 192 Horses can be abandoned, but people must die!

"Stop! Commander Zhu Dadian is here—"

"Don't fight! Tiger David's army is here—"

Zhu Dadian, the chief soldier of Nanjing, and Tiger David, the chief soldier of Baoding, came at the right time. The soldiers under his command shouted, and the two chief soldiers appeared in front of Lin Yi and Liu Zeqing with their personal guards.

Lin Yi and Liu Zeqing had no choice but to stop their subordinates from firing for the time being.

In fact, these two chief military officers had already arrived. They hid in the dark, watching the excitement without fear of serious troubles. They wished that the two families had already started fighting.But seeing that a fight was about to start, they felt that it would be a bit inappropriate if they didn't show their presence.

One is that they are both officials of the imperial court, and the other is that they and Liu Zeqing came together, and Lin Yi and the governor are carrying out the orders of Yang Sichang, the governor, to encircle and suppress Luo Rucai. Just like two people fighting, other people present want to watch the fun, so they have to persuade them first, if they can't be persuaded, then there is nothing they can do, but if they don't even say a word, Shang Fang, the future governor When the sword fell, it was still confronted with Emperor Chongzhen in the court, and it was inevitable that he would be jointly and severally responsible.

Therefore, seeing that the two of them were about to fight, they hurriedly stepped forward, and the subordinates shouted loudly, and the guards rushed over, one on each side being impartial, and began to persuade the fight.

Of course Lin Yi knew which way their mouths were tilted. Don't look at one persuading himself and the other persuading Liu Zeqing. It's fair not to lie to anyone and not to anyone. He said he wanted to calm down and let both sides take a step back. Generals and ministers in the same hall are all family members, so it is not appropriate to go to war.

In fact, they were with Si Ni, and the other three came together. Of course, the two of them were facing Liu Zeqing, and certainly not toward him, the general soldier of Miyun.

Because now the biggest credit is on my own side, wiped out Luo Rucai's troops, and captured this Cao Cao, removing one of the court's confidantes. After reading the secret book of the Sunflower Book, others will of course be jealous, wishing for their own bad luck. As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies, the rafters in the early years will rot first, and the tree will be destroyed by the forest wind. Lin Yi understands these reasons.

Therefore, Lin Yi had a book in his heart, and on the surface, he was calm and listened to Zhu Dadian's persuasion here.

Over there, David Hu is persuading Liu Zeqing to make big things into small things. Of course, Liu Zeqing is willing to give this soldier Hu a face, because he was wronged in this matter, and now he got a good deal. Of course, he won't ask for anything anymore. , The reason why he is so strong in front of Ji Dong is mainly because he is a big official, he has reliance, he can't lose face, he can't let go of airs, so he is here to hold on, not to show weakness.This is called bullying and bullying.

Now that Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei came out to persuade him, he would go down the donkey and accept it when he saw a deal. He not only took advantage of it, but also gave the two general officers face, and also ended up being magnanimous and gentlemanly. Such a thing that kills three birds with one stone, of course Liu Zeqing is willing.

So now they mainly look at Ji Dong's attitude, which is the key.

After they finished speaking, Lin Yi said: "Since the two commander-in-chiefs opened their mouths, Lin must give this face. Let's do this, Lin can not want the more than 100 horses that were taken away, but Li Huajing must The murderer must die, the murderer cannot go unpunished, and the other 50000 taels of silver is also indispensable. They robbed things and injured people. The 5 taels are the funeral expenses and pensions for the family. If the whale’s head is chopped off, or the murderer sends it here to be disposed of by Lin, and brings all the money with him, then this incident will be written off and it will be treated as if it never happened.”

Liu Zeqing's eyes widened as soon as he heard it. The more than 100 horses are not in pain or itching. They can be with anyone, but they are not his anyway.It was extremely difficult for him to accept the remaining two conditions, so Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei hurriedly persuaded him again.

"Lord Lin, after all, Li Canjun is an official appointed by the imperial court, and his official position is not much lower than those of us who are the commander-in-chief. Because of such a trivial matter, how can we kill him immediately? To punish Li Canjun, it is not necessary to say that there is an emperor. Wang Shengzhi, I'm afraid at least you have to go through the Sansi Yamen or the Ministry of War. Can you be more accommodating, take a step back, spare Li Canjun's life, let Li Canjun accompany him, 5 taels of silver, they can't do it at all Less, I will compensate you as much, how would you like it, my lord?"

Liu Zeqing heard it from the side, and felt a little displeased with such a condition. He co-authored me to buy more than 50000 horses with 100 taels of silver?In terms of casualties, both of us had casualties, but Liu Zeqing didn't say anything, it all depends on Lin Yi's reaction.

"The two chief soldiers, just now Lin has made the biggest concession. For the sake of the two general soldiers, the more than 100 horses are no longer needed. Liu Zeqing must agree to the remaining two conditions. No, if he doesn't agree, the two adults will be spared."

"Master Lin, don't we have more than 100 horses worth our face, so there is no room for accommodation?"

Ji Dong was amused, giving you some "horse noodles" is the best of humanity.No matter how strong the resistance is today, no matter who comes forward, he must avenge the brothers like Erhu, even if the Emperor and Lao Tzu come!
Therefore, Lin Yi said righteously and strictly: "My lords, it's not that Lin is unreasonable. Human life is at stake. It's no small matter. The two tigers are also officials ordered by the court, and the brothers who were killed or injured in the camp are all generals of the Ming Dynasty. If they die in On the battlefield where they killed the enemy, their names are left in history, they can still make meritorious deeds, get some rewards, and enshrine their wives and sons, but now they have died unjustly. They could have died as heavy as Mount Tai, but now they died as lightly as a feather. If we don’t give them an explanation, their souls in heaven will not rest in peace. Killing people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay back money are justified.”

"If Mr. Lin says that, there is nothing we can do." Zhu Dadian and Hu David finally retreated.

"Lin Yixin accepts the kindness of the two adults, and forgive Lin Mou not far away."

"My lords, you've done your best. Don't worry about it. I, Liu Zeqing, want to see what Lin is thinking today? I'll stay with you to the end!" Liu Zeqing became hard again.

Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei had completed their mission, and they left with others.If you think in your heart, you can hit it, and if you kill one, you will lose one!
"Fire!" Lin Yi gave the order for the shelling for the second time.

After Dong Sheng and Wang Qi got the news, their cannons were already ready.Just now they were worried that Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei would reconcile, if Mr. Lin succumbed to pressure or out of face and agreed to them, and compromised, wouldn't Er Hu and the others suffer casualties in vain?

Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary, the order has finally been issued, and these bastards must know how powerful they are, so the two of them can't wait to order to fire!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

60 red cannons and tiger squatting cannons fired at the same time. The explosives became angry and pushed the shells out of the barrels, then flew towards Liu Zeqing's men and horses roaring, and then exploded among the crowd.

Liu Zeqing's cannons also roared, and more than a dozen cannons in red clothes were already ready. As soon as they saw Lin Yi and the others opened fire, they also started firing and blasted towards Lin Yi's men.

The banks of the Baishui River were lively, and the sound of explosions one after another was deafening and earth-shattering.Balls of fire, mixed with thick smoke and the smell of burnt flesh, diffused, and some shells fell into the river, and even the river water with silt stirred up waves that soared into the sky.

At the same time, the gunners on the bank of the river also opened fire, because the distance of 200 meters was completely within the range of the fireflies, and each found a favorable terrain and cover, and the two sides shot at each other.

The roar of cannons, the crackling of firecrackers, and the hissing and screaming of people and horses were almost indistinguishable.

But in a real fight, the strength of the firepower is divided.

Regardless of the limited power of the firecracker. The firepower composed of more than 50 red-clothed cannons and several tiger-clothed cannons was fired against more than a dozen red-clothed cannons, and the result can be imagined.

In less than half an hour, Liu Zeqing's men and horses were bombed to pieces, and more than a dozen red-clothed cannons were all destroyed. His musketeers and archers were also scattered. , who was not dead or injured, and couldn't lift his head.When they could barely raise their heads, their ears were buzzing and they couldn't hear anything. They had been deafened by the roar of the cannons, and some of them were so shocked that they ran into the river instead.As a result, he was smashed to pieces by the arrows and firecrackers shot at him, and the dead body once again stained the Baihe River red.

The remaining soldiers quickly ran for their lives, wow, retreated like a tide.

"Stop shelling, go!"

After the gunfire stopped, Lin Yi led the standard battalion and the guard battalion, three to four thousand people, and charged from the shallow water area to kill them.

Only then did Liu Zeqing know how powerful it was. He never expected that Lin Yi's troops were so powerful.His troops are not as many as the general army, so why is his artillery fire more fierce than that of the general army?He couldn't understand these things, but he wanted to understand one thing, no wonder Lin Yi was able to wipe out all Luo Rucai's people in the first battle.

I thought I was stronger than Lin Yi, but I didn't expect that after supporting for half an hour at most, his troops retreated, and now his command is no longer effective, so Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing had to follow the retreating soldiers. Run for your life...
