Chapter 162: Peace of Mind
The convoy that came to Luomagou to deliver supplies left.
The fully equipped cavalry slowly left the Luoma ditch.
Yun Zhao also left this lively gathering place for two days and one night with his escort.
By the early hours of tomorrow at the latest, a huge war will be staged on this land trampled by countless horses' hooves.
Yun Zhao immediately climbed the slope, watched the cavalry disappear on the horizon, and chanted in a low voice.
"Men should kill, and kill mercilessly. Immortal karma is all in killing.
In the past, there were rich men, and they were righteous and promised. Eyes are murderous......
You don't see it, the erection of the Confucian bee raises the strong man to die, and Shenzhou has praised benevolence and righteousness since then.
Once the Central Plains was chaotic, the scholars ran to the cowardly people and wept.
I want to learn from the ancient style and regain my heroic spirit. Fame is the same as dung, and those who disdain benevolence ridicule.
Wearing an iron sword, he kills in a fit of rage. Cut the shares and drink wine, talk and laugh.
Kill the enemy for thousands of miles, and be willing to spend ten weeks. Specializing in the light of the field, and the knot of the dark love.
Heading out of the west gate, the Twilight people turned back......
Killing the world, the tragedy shocked the underworld. Kill one person in three steps, and your heart stops.
The blood flowed thousands of miles, and the corpse pillowed Qianxun Mountain. The strong man fights, and sleeps with the corpse of the enemy......
There is a song and you listen: Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero. Slaughter 9 million, that is, the male of the male. Male in Male ...... See through the name of benevolence and righteousness for thousands of years, but make this life heroic. The good name is not loved
Love notoriety, kill millions of hearts without punishment. It is better to teach 10,000 people to hate than to teach nothing
There are people who scold me. Looking at the world for 5,000 years, where do heroes not kill?
Xu Wu thought, do you think the words in this poem are right? ”
Xu Wuxiang trembled when he heard it, and only after a while did he squeeze out a sentence from his throat and said, "County Zun, it's not appropriate." ”
Yun Zhao smiled: "This is a poem I heard, when I heard this poem before, I respected the poet as a god."
I always feel that the blood in my chest has been boiled by this poem, and I can't wait to immediately put on a long knife and fight the enemy!
Even if you die in battle, you will die in battle, and you will be buried under the grass...... All the sorrow is rendered by this poem...... The tears of the mother, the blood of the wife, and the call of the children are like the peach blossoms that are about to wither, and they are beautiful when they are blown by the wind.
Xiang Yu is this kind of person...... So far, the song "Farewell My Concubine" still makes people break their hearts......
Xu Wu thought, I actually don't like killing people very much, you understand, right? ”
Xu Wu wanted to jump off the horse, prostrate in front of Yun Zhao's horse and put his face on the ground and said: "County Zun, by all means, those who have become great things since ancient times began to compare who killed more people, and in the later stage, they compared who saved people more."
Nowadays, even people like Li Hongji know that the looted money and grain will be shared with the people, and they have even released the slogan of "equalizing the land, not paying the endowment" in order to appease the people.
Although such a slogan is ridiculous, I think this should be Li Hongji's original intention...... Killing people can only be done for a short time, not for a long time.
Since the day I started the army, I have been determined to save the people from fire and water, and I have never been fattened by the people.
Now, we have created a huge family business, as long as we persist, we will inevitably be the will of the people, on the battlefield, there is the righteousness of saving the people from fire and water, we will be invincible.
Fighting with Jiannu, we are naturally unwilling to be left behind, even if we die in battle, it will be eternal, but we can't aim the guns at our own people at will, I think that as long as we are given some time, we can let more people perceive that only my Lantian can save the country and save the people from fire and water...... For this, we will not give up. ”
Yun Zhao looked at Xu Wu, who was lying in front of the horse, and thought, "Let's see." ”
Xu Wu wanted to get up from the ground without patting the dust off his body, puffed up his chest and hugged his fist towards Yun Zhao and said: "We are not rotten Confucian, Xu Wu wants to still have the strength to fight, county zun, Xu Wu wants to catch up with the army, personally participate in the battle, let me return, and then report the battle situation to the county zun in detail, if I unfortunately die in battle, I will be buried under the grass." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Yun Zhao to agree, he jumped on his war horse, brandished a long knife and chased down the army that had disappeared without a trace.
Yun Zhao's war horse also seemed to be unable to resist chasing the army, constantly digging the soil with its front hooves, and finally was led by Yun Zhao's guards in the direction of Lantian City.
Li Dingguo stood in front of the trench, carrying a long knife on his shoulder, although there were scattered feathered arrows flying over, he was always easily dodged.
Jiannu drove the women and children closer and closer, but Li Dingguo lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, spewing out a faint blue smoke from time to time.
The challenge is enormous.
A sinister smile appeared on his face, as long as he could engage with these Ming people in close combat, he thought that he had already won half of the victory.
The anger that had been pent up in his chest for two days could be vented after another fifty steps.
Seeing that the Ming people retreated one after another, Ji Jige admired Fan Wencheng's strategy more and more, and he seemed to have gained some inspiration from it, and planned to use it in front of the two armies in the future.
He stopped his subordinates' meaningless archery actions, raised his sword and slapped it twice on the armor, which was regarded as agreeing to Li Dingguo's challenge.
Li Dingguo saw the women and children approaching the trench, and before he could speak, he found that a thin man who was scarred and surrounded by women and children suddenly opened his arms, and pushed the women and children who were about to stop into the trench with all his strength, and at the same time shouted: "Get down!" ”
The frightened women and children fell into the trenches like marionettes...... Seeing this, Li Dingguo spit out the cigarette in his mouth and laughed and brandished a long knife and rushed towards Jizige, this guy was too close, if he didn't get rid of him, the women and children hiding in the trenches would also have no way to live.
At the same time, the musket fried beans burst again.
Swinging his knife and cutting off the head of a woman, he found the people in the front row fall to the ground like a felled tree, and cried out in horror: "Rush forward!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of fire suddenly lit up behind the trench, followed by a muffled sound that reached his ears, and then a finger-sized buckshot smashed down on his army like a torrential rain.
After two cannon shots, flesh and blood flew in front of the trench, whether it was women and children who had not had time to escape, or Jiannu who had been exposed to broad daylight, they fell to the ground one after another.
Li Dingguo's long knife slashed down heavily, and Ji Jige waved his knife to block it, and saw Li Dingguo shouting with a mouthful of white teeth: "I'm going to divide your five horses today!" ”
Looking at Li Dingguo, who was like a beast, Ji Jige shook his knife and ran away, Li Dingguo chased after him regardless of it.
Seeing that their main generals had already been killed, the rest of the generals in Lantian County who had no time to reload gave up their muskets, picked up their long knives, shields, and spears, and rushed out.
Every fifteen breaths, the cannon fired, creating a strange scene on the battlefield, with the widest point on the right blocked by the lead bullets spewed out by the artillery, and the narrow, rugged path on the left, where the two armies were already in a desperate fight.
In such a melee, Li Dingguo finally found a rhythm suitable for his own fighting, and those subordinates who gave up the fire gun finally met Jiannu with the familiar Qi family army battle formation under his leadership.
It's just that the presence of short firearms and grenades effectively replaces bows and arrows and wolf wives, which makes the process of their breakthrough smoother.
Jizig was unwilling to give up the hard-won opportunity for close combat, most of the people who died in the previous battle were specially sent to death by the former army Aha (military slave), this time he finally had the opportunity to fight in close combat, and Aha Armor Nu and Zhenghongqi Qiding naturally had to be used on the blade.
Dressed in two layers of heavy armor, armed with spears, axes, halberds, and armor-piercing cones nearly a foot long, these men were in a team of fifty people, and once they broke into the enemy's formation, they would rush left and right.
Among them, there are even more elite white-armored soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, mixed in them, like hidden fangs, ready to break through Li Dingguo's military formation at any time.
Li Dingguo had few people and a small number of soldiers, so he could form an army formation in a few moments, effectively intercepting Jiannu's attack.
Once they saw that the Jiannu had a tendency to gather together, one grenade after another would fly over and blow up the barely gathered Jiannu.
After Li Dingguo's long knife collided with a halberd, he took three steps back, and the guards standing behind him raised their short guns and aimed at the white-armored Jiannu.
Ignoring the threat of the firecracker, the white-armored soldiers picked up their halberds and slashed at Li Dingguo's waist.
The handcuff sounded, spewing out a puff of iron sand, the white-armored soldier didn't hide, just closed his eyes, and the halberd still slashed at Li Dingguo fiercely.
Li Dingguo grabbed the pole of the halberd with his probe, and was knocked to the ground by the powerful force on the halberd, and one of the white-armored soldiers' faces had been beaten to pieces by the firecracker.
When Li Dingguo got up from the ground, he was shocked to find that Ji Jige had gathered a team of men and horses not far away, shouting and killing him.
Li Dingguo smiled, took off a grenade from his armor, lit it, counted three and then threw it at Jizige.
The grenade exploded, sending a cloud of smoke out, followed by a dozen more grenades, and Zizig hurriedly ducked behind the rock, countless fragments of grenades either passing over his head or striking the rock where he was hiding, making a screech of metal against the stone.
Before the smoke cleared, Jizig roared and rushed out from behind the rock, and when he looked for Li Dingguo again, he found that this guy had already run twenty paces away.
Looking into the distance, I saw the remnants of women and children, under the protection of a team of Ming troops, running back to the mountains in a panic. Zizig approached with a large shield, and a grenade smashed on his shield, and then exploded, and the shield in his hand was blown off, and Zizig fell to the ground with a sigh and rolled down the mountain.
"Next time, I'm going to bring more Ming slaves over......"
Li Dingguo jumped into the trench, and saw that the subordinates who jumped into the trench re-mounted the muskets loaded with ammunition on the trench, so he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the head of a small child who was still open-eyed, and said: "I'm sorry, I only have such a great ability." ”
After speaking, he reached out and helped the child close his eyelids.
