Holding a wooden stick and a woodcutter tied around his waist, Aji, wearing a half-new dark blue Hanfu and a black Ba native headscarf wrapped around his head, was lying in the mountains and forests, his eyes firmly fixed on the path ahead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt that time, the clothes on the Ba people had not been affected by the Qing court clothing, but because of the influence of the Han people for more than 2,000 years, the clothes on their bodies were still in the style of Hanfu. The later Tujia men's clothing was actually influenced by Tatarization, and the clothing of the later centipede suit style was born. In fact, the really ancient Tujia costumes, the high-quality toast has a lot of wide robes and large sleeves, and the common people are also Hanfu short styles.

Aji is a local Ba native, and from the time he was sensible, he knew that his people had lived in the mountains for generations, relying on the barren land to survive, because the best land was occupied by the Miao people. This can't be helped, this is Baojing, not Kuizhou, there is no Ba people toast here, only Miao people toast.

After the Ming army came, they successively defeated a number of local Miao people who did not accept Wanghua, and Aji was also given a piece of fertile land, and there was also a buffalo in three families.

With one's own land, one naturally has to safeguard one's own interests. The Ming army told the Ba people that only by completely defeating the Baojing Peng family could the people keep their land. Otherwise, once the Ming army withdraws, and the Peng family Tusi, who is unwilling to fail, will counterattack, then the land allocated by the Ba people will be taken back.

The Ming army was not familiar with the local terrain, so Aji and the others volunteered to stand up and lead the way for the Ming army, and in front of the Ming army, they were specifically responsible for exploring the way. These young men of the Ba people, who were born in the mountains and forests and grew up in the mountains and forests since childhood, are very familiar with the local terrain, and they led the Ming army to detour from the small road and exterminate many local Tusi.

"Be careful, there's a Miao trap ahead!" Aji sent a warning signal to a Ming soldier who followed behind him at night.

The Ming army stopped, and Aji, with his companion Bamboo Root, stepped forward cautiously, and used his hands to cut open a layer of fallen leaves covering it, revealing the trap below, which was a large pit dug in the mountain forest, which was filled with bamboo with a sharp top, covered with a layer of bamboo mats, and covered with a layer of soil and fallen leaves. Once the Ming soldiers accidentally fell into it, they would be tied into a hornet's nest by the bamboo in the trap.

After clearing the trap, Aji led the Ming army and continued to walk forward for a while, and then stopped. With a keen sense of observation and hunch, a well-arranged mechanism was spotted by Aji, which was a rope buried in the fallen leaves, connected to the bent bamboo and the bamboo javelin, once the foot stepped on the rope, the bamboo would automatically bounce straight and shoot the bamboo javelin, just shooting the person who stepped on the rope.

Along the way, Aji cleared many traps, traps, and boar traps, helping the Ming army open a path.

After a detour from a path in the jungle, the Ming army appeared behind a group of about twelve Miao Tu soldiers at night. These Miao soldiers were stationed above the cliffs on the side of the main road in the valley, and if the main force of the Ming army marched through the main road, they would be plotted by the rolling wood and stones rolling down from the mountain.

However, with the local Ba people leading the way, the small detachment of the Ming army successfully detoured back behind the Miao Tubing.

The Ming army only has six people, plus Aji and Zhugen, there are only eight people, and the opponent has twelve people, and the Ming army is a sneak attack, and it can't use firearms, so it can only use cold weapons to solve the problem. However, the six Ming soldiers were all top masters at night, and the six of them launched at the same time, pounced on the twelve Miao soil soldiers, and before the people arrived, the flying knives and crossbows had already beckoned first.

In the blink of an eye, six Miao Tu soldiers were shot by the sudden shooting knives and crossbow arrows.

Aji and his companion Zhugen also jumped up, and threw a bamboo javelin with a sharpened head in their hands, and the two Miao Tu soldiers were shot through the throat, and they looked at the attacker who suddenly appeared, shook a few times, and fell into the grass.

The remaining four Miao native soldiers were no problem, and six Ye Bushu and two Ba native guides rushed to the front, slashing and slashing like melons and vegetables, and all four Miao native soldiers were hacked to death.

Controlling the top of the road, Aggie learned a few calls from mountain birds to signal his companions below.

"Okay, the obstacles above have been cleared, we can get through!" A native of Ba said to Wang Jinzhong.

The Ming army successfully passed through the dangerous terrain and advanced all the way to the direction of Pengding's last old nest holy mountain.

After more than half a month of difficult trek in the mountains, the Ming army finally arrived near Peng Ding's lair and launched a fierce attack on the last stronghold of the Peng family Tusi.

In the area of the holy mountain, the terrain is dangerous, the cliffs are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, for the Ming army, which had mortars and mountain howitzers, it was not difficult to capture Pengding's last stronghold at all. Originally, if the Peng family Tusi could use the mountainous terrain to fight guerrilla warfare with the Ming army and maneuver in the mountains and forests, then it would be really difficult for the Ming army to exterminate the Peng family Tusi. However, the Ming army had the cooperation of the local Ba people, and the Peng family Tusi could not fight guerrilla warfare, so they could only face to face with the Ming army, which was a dead end.

The Ming army that attacked the holy mountain not only included Wang Jinzhong's 3,000 mountain army, but also countless local Ba people. These ordinary people spontaneously participated in the battle to attack the mountain, and Aji was also in the ranks, holding a bamboo javelin in his right hand, a woodcutter in his waist, and his eyes were fixed on the Miao Village on the mountain.

"Fire!" Wang Jinzhong gave an order.

The two 12-pounder howitzers that had completed the test firing opened fire one after another, and the shells rained down from the sky like meteors, falling in the cottage of Miao Tubing, and the shells loaded with new explosives exploded two huge fireballs, and shrapnel flew horizontally, sweeping up a burst of flying blood and flesh, and countless Miao Tubing fell.

Twelve twelve-pounder mortars and thirty-six eight-pounder mortars also opened fire one after another, and the shells fell like hail and exploded one after another. At the same time, the rocket soldiers of the Ming army also stepped forward, set up forty rocket launchers on the hillside, placed the rockets neatly on the launch frames, and lit the fuse.

Shells and rockets rained down on the ground, and wooden fences, deer barricades, mud brick walls, wooden towers, and walled gates collapsed one after another in the sound of continuous explosions, turning them into pieces of wood and dirt.

"Boom" a howitzer shell hit a stone placed behind the earthen wall, this piece was originally used to stop the Ming army attacking the mountain, when the Ming army climbed the mountain to attack, the Miao Tubing could push the stone down, the result was hit by the shell, the shell loaded with new explosives exploded the stone to pieces, the broken stone flew sideways like shrapnel, knocking down a lot of local soldiers.

The whistling rockets rained down and exploded in the piles of rolling wood and rocks, sending broken stones and pieces of wood flying in all directions, and the Miao Tu soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

The powerful firepower of the Ming army frightened the Miao Tubing, and before the two sides met, the Miao Tubing had already lost more than 500 people.
