Wherever he lay down, he was lucky, or maybe the spell blessed by the witch really worked, and the lead bullet fell beside him with a pop, but he was unscathed.

There was also a dead Qi pawn in front of him, who was hit in the leg by a buckshot, and the palm-sized wound was gurgling and bleeding, and it was a rotten mess, and he was crawling backwards strugglingly, but he couldn't move anymore after climbing a few steps.

The pawn who pretended to be dead frowned, thinking that his partner in the village was also hit by a musket in the battle of the last battle, and his arm was rotten soon after returning home, and he used a lot of herbs and begged a wizard, but it would not heal, and he died within a few days.

"Even if you climb back, you won't survive."

Secretly shook his head, and scolded those nobles in his heart, he was captured in the most place many years ago, he lived a good life in the captive camp for a few months, and he was also "bewitched" by the Xuanyi Department of the Mo family for a long time, and his hatred for the war naturally shifted to those nobles who sought personal gain.

The truth of the Mo family is too simple, and it is too suitable, calling back and forth, the nobles got the fief, but these apprentices couldn't even get a single hair, and they had to delay their own family's property.

The nobles had many estates, including subordinate children, slaves, fiefdom serfs, and rewards and more fiefs when they went out to war.

Your share of land will not be exempted from taxes just because you go to war. Taxes were normal, and wars had to be waged, so there was less laborer in the family to cultivate, and when they came back in the autumn, they had to repay the borrowed money, and they became poorer and poorer, but the nobles became richer and richer.

He lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, really pretending to be at ease.

Quietly looked up at the fortress, and said secretly: "Hurry up and finish the fight, you rush out and I will surrender, how can I surrender if I am beaten like this?" ”

While pondering, a few whistling black shadows flew out, and the Qi person said in his heart: "Hey, I don't know which guy who was urged by the ghost died." The nobles hid behind, but they couldn't hit it. The Mo family's cannon would be nice if it could hit farther away. ”

Twisting his body slightly, he looked back at the side of the trench, and found that the second wave of attacking Qi troops had begun to form a team, followed by a group of soldiers, it seemed that they were going to cross the trench first, and rely on the cannon fodder in front to cover the whole team to attack.

A row of feathered arrows flew through the air, but few flew to the fortress, most of them stuck into the slightly sloping dirt slope ahead.

He looked at the second wave of soldiers behind him who had already raised their shields and moved forward, and with a whoop, he slapped his thigh and said, "This is not good, the place where I died is not good, either stepping on death or being easily killed by the Mo family's musket." When they retreat, I'll have to move somewhere else......"

After patrolling for a while, but not knowing where to go, at this time the drums had already sounded, and the second wave of Qi troops shouted forward, with the previous cover, this wave still maintained the basic formation.

Qi pawn, who pretended to be dead, held his head and prayed constantly.

"Don't step on me, don't step on my ......"

He didn't dare to open his eyes to look, but he heard the sound of screaming and stepping around him, his luck was really good, maybe the formation of Qi people had been loosened, except for the calf being stepped on, there was no damage anywhere else.

Under the cover of the people in front of him, he quietly looked up to see where it was safer, so that he could choose a good place later.

But as soon as he didn't want to look up, he saw a person in front of him lying on the ground even though he didn't have anything, and he glanced at him before lying down.

The distance between the two people was very close, and the Qi pawn was not embarrassed, and whispered: "You also pretend to be dead?" ”

The man lying on his stomach with him scolded: "Whoever likes to beat him, my land will be confiscated." I'm dead, who will feed my parents? The Mo family doesn't kill prisoners, they don't build a view of Beijing, hurry up and finish beating me so that I can go home. ”

The Qi man said, "Where is your house?" ”

"Anping's."

"Me too. I said, "We're going to have to change places, it's in front of us, and we're going to be trampled to death or we're going to be killed by muskets......"

The two people quietly approached, and then pretended to be dead: "Can't you go down the city wall?" You can't shoot muskets there, can you? ”

The two of them looked at the direction of the fortress together, and the second wave of attacking Qi troops had already rushed thirty or forty paces before the rammed earth slope of the so-called city wall, when they heard a thudding sound, not the movement of muskets.

A large platoon of Qi sergeants tumbled to the ground, wailing on the ground.

That Qi pawn participated in the battle of the most war, and exclaimed: "That is the Mo family's tiger squat cannon, and I am afraid that it will not work under the city wall." ”

With this muffled sound, he immediately recalled the fear of the year, during the battle of the last battle, a group of them rushed to the front of the Mo family's array, and the partners around them were killed and injured many by stones like locust plagues.

Afterwards, he also knew that what that thing was called a tiger squat cannon, which was extremely simple, that is, a broken iron can, weighing thirty or forty pounds, which could be carried by two people with a bundle of ropes, and when fighting, he used a broken bracket or a pile of dirt to pile up, and he shot twenty or thirty steps, and all the stones were gravel.

Because when the army was wrapped in hemp rope and carried the march, this thing is also called a hemp rope cannon, and he almost died under this thing at the most, at this time he awakened the memory of the beginning, and couldn't help but exclaim.

After a few shots, it was the explosion of iron thunder that he was more familiar with, and the rising gunpowder smoke could not see the situation under the city clearly, but there was no need to look at it.

"It's not good under the city......"

As soon as he finished speaking, many Qi people in the smoke threw down their weapons and fled backwards, but the sides of the fortress that formed sharp corners could shoot directly from the side, and those who fled had to face attacks from three sides and fell to the ground one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the third wave of Qi troops behind them had already rushed to a place about thirty or fifty steps behind them, but more than twenty heavy iron pellets fell from the sky, directly breaking up the third wave of formation.

This iron pellet did not fly out of the fortress, but should have been shot from the head of the city, crossed the low garrison, and was smashing on the head of the third wave of Qi soldiers who were gathering to attack.

More than 20 iron pellets couldn't kill a few people, but the front had been defeated, and the formation that was easy to assemble was smashed up, but it didn't even touch the corner of the wall, where could the Qi army of the third wave of impact still move forward, and retreated directly, regardless of the order to retreat from the back and die, they rushed back to the trench in a swarm.

Qi Shu, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, scolded: "Gongzi Wu knows how to fight? The Mo family said that you are noble, and you are no different from us, a sixteen-year-old fart child knows how to fight? Let's die! ”

At this time, the Qi army scattered at the foot of the city was about to come here, and the Qi pawn quickly got up and shouted: "It's not good here, take advantage of the chaos to run to the side......"

The two of them ran wildly to both sides, neither daring to approach the trench, nor daring to approach the city, let alone running dozens of steps to the side within a hundred steps of the city, already tired and out of breath, at this time, if they ran again for fear of being noticed, the two of them pretended to be dead together, and did not want to just lie down next to the voice of a third person, scolding: "You stepped on me, blind?" ”

As soon as I heard the accent, it was either Anping or Linzi, and then I looked down and found that there were more than 20 people lying next to me, and the one who took the lead seemed to be a Sima Chang.

Seeing that these two people also came to pretend to be dead, Sima Chang scolded and scolded: "You pretend to be dead and pretend to be dead, why are you still stepping on us?" ”

The two hurriedly apologized, and told each other where their hometown was, but it was not far away.

Sima Chang said: "It's right here, the Mo family's cannons don't shoot this way, the muskets can't reach it, and it's not easy to be stepped on here." Hurry up and finish the fight, I was captured and went to eat the corn nest of the Mo family for a few days, and it was time to go home and go home. In these years, whoever sends a noble person to death is stupid. ”

As if he had seen a bosom friend, the Qi pawn hurriedly said, "In the most battle, you have also been arrested?" ”

As soon as the Sima Chang heard this, he said with another cannon sound: "Why have you been arrested? I also ate three or two pounds of weight, tsk, the Mo family's rice is really fragrant. ”

"The mustard leaves were salted, steamed in a pot, and two drops of oil were sprinkled with it...... Tsk, with that corn nest, I've never eaten such a fragrant meal since I was so old. ”

"Although I have to dig a canal every day, I am much stronger than in the army, and I have enough to eat. Sometimes there is a play to watch at night, and I also teach you how to farm, and when I left, one person also gave half a catty of corn to plant......"

A few of the more than 20 people next to him were arrested and followed, and a few were new pawns, where do you know what oil means, because at this time, there is only cream, and oil is a word to describe the color and gloss, the so-called millet oil.

Because of the presence of vegetable oil in Sishang, it is neither fat nor ointment, so it is named after borrowing words to describe leaves.

After the chief Sima finished speaking, he said: "They are all villagers, can I still lie to you?" If you don't want to die, if you want to eat, just wait here. ”

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old pawn asked, "Brother, when will this fight be finished?" ”

Sima Chang said: "Isn't that fast?" Gongzi Wu doesn't know how to fight, and Shihe Gongzao Ye is the one who has captured the King of Chu and the King of Yue, where can it be compared? Wait, if you are caught, the Mo family will not kill people, nor will they build a Beijing view, what are you afraid of? ”

The Qi pawn before said: "I'm afraid that there is no place here." ”

Sima Chang said: "It's okay, I saw it before the battle just now, this place is fine." As for the lives of dozens of fellow villagers, I thought about it before the fight. ”

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old pawn whispered: "A few days ago, wasn't it a rumor in the army that when the time comes, you can take off your shirt and wave it shirtless, and then you can surrender?" ”

Sima Chang scolded with a smile: "If you do this at this time, won't you be punished after being seen and going back?" If the Mo family had directly defeated Linzi this time, I would have surrendered a long time ago, and he would not have fought Linzi, I would have to belong to the nobles when I returned home, and it would not be okay to surrender at this time, I would have to wait a few days. ”

"It's okay, it's good here, and there is no cannon if you can't step on it."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his words, there were several cannon shots, which did smash two or three hundred steps away from them, and then the sound of Mingjin was heard, and Qi Jun's drumming was only a moment, and it was actually discharged.

The chief Sima muttered: "Gongzi Wu also said that he would take us home, back to the home of a fart, this is to send us to death." If you really want to go home, isn't it easy? The Mo family was not going to fight, he slaughtered Wucheng, and the Mo family was going to fight, and they all said that they would only punish the evil. If he really wants to take us home, he dies, and the Mo family keeps his promise, can he still let us go back? Now I'm back in time for the autumn harvest......"

The Qi pawn before squeezed out a mouthful of crushed, white foamy saliva from between his teeth, and said, "How can we be in the eyes of your nobles? Don't think he's dead, just wait for the battle to be over...... How long can the Mo family lock us up this time? ”

Sima Chang said: "The Mo family is reasonable, and it benefits the world. Let's talk about the autumn harvest, I guess it's going to be closed for a month and let us go, right? ”

The pawn nodded and said, "Yes." Just catching up. The people of the Mo family are easy to talk to. ”
