Chapter 102 Poor ** Scheme!

The gunpowder buried in the ground exploded.

The scene of the landslide and the earth cracking that Mu Tiantao hoped for did not appear.

In the open environment, the power of black powder was not as great as he imagined.

Five hundred pounds of black powder created a pit in the earth, and also took the lives of less than fifty cavalrymen and their war horses.

The thief cavalry, who was accustomed to this scene, was only confused for a while, and then reorganized their team and continued to rush towards Mu Tiantao and the others under the city, this time, their team was very scattered.

Although the artillery at the head of the city began to fire, the damage to them was small.

Although he was not satisfied with the damage caused by the gunpowder, Mu Tiantao remained in place.

When it was dark, he could go first, and that was to show everyone the way, but now, when it was dawn, he couldn't go.

He has a good firearm technique, and in the face of sporadic cold arrows, he can still shoot in an orderly manner, charge the charge, and shoot again, as long as it is a cavalry that enters his line of sight, it is difficult to escape.

After firing four or five shots, the cavalry was already in sight, he discarded the musket, raised his spear and stabbed it at the horse.

In the face of cavalry, the spear does not need to exert force, and the inertia of the cavalry charge can easily make the power of the spear completely volatilized.

However, it takes a long spear to do so, and even if he likes this spear very much, he must let go after the spear pierces the cavalryman's ribs, otherwise he will be injured by the cavalry's rapid force.

The spear and the cavalry were gone, but he grabbed the halter of the horse, turned on his horse, and slew the thief cavalry who were chasing him.

As a nobleman in the army, the cavalry, which has transitioned to hot weapons, is also very valued in the Lantian army, and there are no less than 3,000 war horses injured by the training of soldiers every year.

Therefore, Mu Tiantao can be said to be a teenager who grew up on horseback, and when he fought against the cavalry composed of peasants in the thieves, the advantages and disadvantages of horsemanship were undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment.

War horses are staggered, and thieves are lying in ambush.

Xue Yuandu laboriously pushed the enemy's corpse away from his body, and heard Mu Tiantao say to him: "Let your father open the gate and organize a fire gun to meet the enemy." ”

After he had finished speaking, he rode out to free the other men.

With Mu Tiantao at the forefront, Xue Yuandu finally had the opportunity to organize the scattered manpower, and these people saw that Mu Tiantao would not retreat, so they gradually quieted down, and the gunshots like fried beans gradually rang out, from sparse to dense, and finally turned into a regular three-stage shooting.

The cavalry fell from their horses like fallen leaves, and in view of this, the cavalry who followed behind slowed down their horses' hooves and watched as the officers and soldiers who had raided their camp escaped with their lives.

Mu Tiantao's battle under the Zhengyang Gate attracted countless onlookers.

Especially the people who were forcibly recruited by the officers and soldiers, seeing Mu Tiantao so brave, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Mu Tiantao tore off his cloak, pulled out his spear from the pile of corpses, and shouted in front of Liu Zongmin, who was stationed fifty zhang on the horse: "Liu thief, dare to fight with grandpa!" ”

Liu Zongmin heard this sentence very clearly, spit on the ground, and said to the left and right with a smile: "Spare him today." ”

Then he turned his horse's head and went straight away.

The army of thieves left one after another, and the cheers on the city became higher and higher, and at this moment, Mu Tiantao's reputation as a young hero had been completely determined.

It's just that no one knows that less than 400 of the 1,000 people who went out of the city to attack the camp with Mu Tiantao in the middle of the night came back......

Mu Tiantao had feather arrows stuck in his shoulders and backs, if it weren't for the fact that his armor belonged to Lantian Seiko, just these wolf tooth arrows could kill him, and the wolf tooth arrows used by the thief cavalry were generally soaked in horse manure water.

It was a purely military adventure.

Therefore, there is no passion in the whole battle, and this is a war under the shadow of conspiracy.

He can't generate exciting emotions, nor can he generate some shocking power, let alone go down in history.

In the history books of China, there are countless wars of this appearance, and people just follow the instinct of wild beasts and bite each other.

Mu Tiantao took away his fame from this war, the soldiers who survived took away a long meal ticket from this war, and the surviving imperial court gained some worthless hope from this insignificant war.

Only the uninformed people thought that there were still people protecting them.

Many times, when Chinese history books record an event, they record it very sloppily and briefly.

It's because there's so much darkness hidden in those things.

We are a group of people, and we want to believe that everything is good, and that the starting point of all things is noble.

Darkness is the main color of the world, and the rainbow is just a bridge after the rain.

The former determines the fate of people, and the latter is a hope for the world to see.

"We're still going to change that, aren't we?"

Xia Wanchun was dragging the rope and was climbing the city wall of Changyi Gate, and halfway through the climb, he suddenly realized something, so he asked Han Lingshan, who was climbing the wall with him.

Han Lingshan looked at the soldiers at the head of the city who were guarding the five battlements by one person and said, "Yes, it must be changed. ”

"Putting things back on the right path, you say, is it our responsibility?"

Han Lingshan climbed up again and said: "First of all, we must let this country go on the right path, for example, doing things is doing things, following the regulations, not human feelings, the poor and the rich can be different in life enjoyment, but when doing things, they should enjoy the same power." ”

Xia Wanchun nodded, climbed up two more times, and reached out to Han Lingshan to climb the battlements: "Why do you send them to the city wall?" ”

Han Lingshan jumped on the city wall, looked at the motionless eunuch and said, "They won't run away. ”

Xia Wanchun looked at the soldier who was holding a spear, but was blackened and had been dead for a long time, and sighed and said: "The Yin soldiers defend the city, and Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ming Army, is really a talent.

This kind of talent is placed in our Lantian field, and it has long been used by my master to make fertilizer, right? ”

Han Lingshan looked at the vast field outside the city and sighed: "I thought I would be happy to see the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, but now, I really can't be happy." ”

Xia Wanchun said: "When I came, my master said that he didn't like to see this scene and was worried that he would go crazy, and he said that I must see this scene and must be vigilant." ”

"The past does not forget the teacher of the future, this sentence is simple and easy to say, but the person who really understands the meaning of it is cold in his heart, because he knows, even if he knows this sentence, what can he do?

People will continue to follow the same path. ”

No one who stays in the capital can be truly happy.

The corpses of the people who died of the plague in the city were thrown out of the city by officers and soldiers in catapults.

Hanling Mountain, who came down from the city wall, Xia Wanchun saw this scene.

It's actually quite spectacular...... The corpses flew in the air, and they had been dead for a long time, and they had long been frozen hard by the cold wind, and when they were thrown out, they were almost like stones, and some of them had just died, and their bodies were still soft, and when they were thrown out by the trebuchet, they could still cheer...... Some of the corpses even let out terrible screams......

There weren't many people on the wide streets of the capital, and there weren't any children, only a few thin yellow dogs, patrolling the streets, these dogs didn't seem to be very afraid of people, and when they saw Han Lingshan and Xia Wanchun, they even grinned, and they seemed to want to eat these two healthy-looking human flesh.

Xia Wanchun and Han Lingshan both wore thick masks on their mouths and noses, and wearing this thick mask mixed with medicinal herbs, their breathing was always not so smooth.

Five or six emaciated ruffians came out of the alley and stopped the two of them.

They also carried several colorful burdens on their backs, and one of the most vicious of them had a blood-stained knife in his hand, and the blood on the knife was very fresh.

Han Lingshan ignored their threat and continued to move forward, Xia Wanchun naturally swung his knife, and the two walked briskly through the alley, and at this time, there were more than a dozen fresh corpses in the alley.

After a while, some of the men who had been carrying the wagons to collect the bodies saw them, and they turned a blind eye to the terrible stab wounds on the corpses, picked up the burdens that had been left on the ground, loaded them into the wagon, and sent them to the city walls, where the trebuchets threw the bodies out of the city.

Mu Tiantao returned victorious.

When I arrived at King Mu's mansion, I saw Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, Zhu Guobi, Duke of Baoguo, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wei Dezao, the first assistant, all sitting in the hall of his house and drinking tea silently.

Mu Tiantao also sat silently on the main seat, and two servants came up to help him take off his armor, some wolf tooth arrows shot through the armor, and after taking off the armor, the blood flowed down.

"The most important thing is to disinfect with alcohol and clean it."

Under the gaze of Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, Zhu Guobi, Duke of Baoguo, Zhang Jinyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Wei Dezao, the first assistant, the servant woman used the alcohol brought back by Mu Tiantao from Lantian to open the wound, meticulously cleaned the wound, and then wrapped it in gauze.

"Last night, I went out of the city to attack the camp, and I didn't win all, Liu Zongmin, the thief, was very vigilant, I just started to attack his former army camp, and he was already ready, although he disrupted his front army camp and burned his Chinese army grain and grass, but this did not make Liu Zongmin leave the capital."

Mu Tiantao said it very pertinently, and even honestly reported the military situation.

Shoufu Wei Dezao shook his head and said: "The prince of the world charged into battle last night and showed bravery, the old man and others can see it, so they will naturally report to Your Majesty, and they will not live up to the prince of the world to fight for the country."

The old man and others came today, not to ask the prince about the war, now, the capital is short of grain and grass, the army has no pay silver, the prince has a lot of money before, at this time should be taken out, let the old man recruit more people who dare to fight, and hold the capital. ”

Mu Tiantao raised his head blankly and looked at the four people with serious faces: "All the money collected has been handed over to Your Majesty, I think it is impossible for you not to know, right?" ”

Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said a little irritably: "Your Majesty's silver has been used up, and now, I want to know where Cao Gong's treasure is!" ”
