Niulanping Tusi cottage, the cottage is full of lights, gongs and drums are noisy. On the edge of the makeshift stove, the people in the village are killing pigs and cows, scraping the scales of fish, and defeathering chickens and ducks. Niulanping Da Tusi was wearing a bright red festive dress and a red turban on his head, standing at the door and warmly greeting the guests: "Sit inside, there are good betel nuts and dim sum tea, you can use them as you like!" ”

There was an endless stream of toasts and heads who came to congratulate them, and each of the superior people who came came walked into the cottage with a large group of followers and boxes of congratulatory gifts.

"Congratulations to Niulanping Toast for welcoming Mrs. Seventeen!" The guests who came congratulated one after another.

This is the sixteenth concubine of Niulanping Tusina, although it is a concubine, it is very grand.

On the mountain road, a man who looked like a master walked up, wearing a melon skin hat, a long shirt and a horse coat, and a folding fan in his hand, looking like a scholar. He was followed by a group of officials, carrying a heavy box, panting and walking towards the cottage.

"It's Master Liu here!" Toast hurriedly greeted him.

"Congratulations toast, of course, congratulations toast!" The master congratulated him.

Tusi was about to ask the master to invite him, but suddenly asked: "Master Liu, why didn't the county magistrate come?" ”

Master Liu scolded angrily: "It's all damn pirates who came to the island to make trouble!" Our county magistrate is arranging the city defense, and he didn't dare to leave, so he had to ask Liu to do it for him! ”

"Haikou? How did they get here? Toast was stunned.

Master Liu sighed: "Haikou may be looking at the weakness of the imperial court here!" These pirates are very rampant, I heard that Yazhou City has been broken by pirates, and Lord Zhizhou has also martyred the country, alas! ”

In the cave room, the bride sits on a bamboo bed. Although the red hijab is covered, the sound of the bride sobbing can be clearly heard.

Just now, Tusi's fifth concubine, Huang Qimei, snatched the scissors that the bride had planned to use to kill herself, and bitterly advised her not to kill herself.

"Good sister, in fact, I am also a hard-working person like you, this damn master Tusi forcibly broke me up with Brother Jinzhong, forcibly married me here, and forced Brother Jinzhong to rebel. At that time, I also thought about death, but Jinzhong's brother sent me a letter and told me that dark clouds could not hide the sun! One day he will break into the cottage and get me back. For this sentence, I endured humiliation for five years, and waited for him here. Good sister, you also believe in your lover, he will definitely not give up on you! Only by living can there be hope. Huang Qimei lowered her voice and said.

"I didn't expect that sister, you are also a hard-working person." The bride whispered with a sob.

Huang Qimei hugged the bride: "Good sister, let's live together!" There will always be hope! Having said that, she didn't know when her brother Jinzhong would be able to save her from the sea of suffering.

Those Han officials, how much benefit they got from Master Tusi. Brother Jinzhong was forced to rebel by Tusi, but the soldiers of the Han people were extremely vicious, and they also helped the murderous Tusi master. If it weren't for those Han soldiers, his brother Jinzhong would have come over a long time ago, broke through the cottage, and saved himself from the sea of suffering.

Several of the concubines in front of Master Tusi couldn't bear it, some hanged themselves, some jumped into the sea, and three concubines wanted to elope with their lovers, but they were both arrested and executed in the most cruel way. But for the promise of her lover, Huang Qimei endured the humiliation and lived with a heavy burden.

Thinking of this, Huang Qimei couldn't help but shed tears: When will this hard day end!

Under the bride's red hijab, a flower-like face is like a flower face at this time, tears leave red tear stains on the fat powder, and the bride's hand tightly grasps the corner of the dress. The tears have long since dried up, and only endless hatred remains. The bride was also snatched by the toast, because she was beautiful, she was taken by the toast master, forcibly separated her and her lover, snatched her to the village, and wanted her to be the sixteenth concubine of the toast master.

At this moment, a Li native soldier outside ran up the mountain panting: "No, no, it's not good!" Wang Jinzhong, that damn slave baby, brought people to attack the cottage! ”

Tusi suddenly jumped like thunder: "Wang Jinzhong, this slave baby!" It is already heinous to dare to rebel, and dare to attack my cottage! He came just in time! I still want to find him, but he sent it to the door himself! I was trying to catch him and kill him in front of Mrs. Sixteen, so that Mrs. Sixteen would die of this heart! ”

The master of the county magistrate stood aside and flattered and said: "Lord Tusi, if you can take down the bandit Wang Jinzhong, and Lord Tusi marries sixteen concubines, this is a double happiness!" ”

The terrain of Niulanping Mountain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are more than 300 native soldiers under Tusi. In order to save his fiancée, Wang Jinzhong attacked three times, and each time he returned with a feather.

Now Wang Xinyu is going to attack Wanzhou, and he just has to pass through Niulanping. So Wang Jinzhong had a selfish intention, wanting the Ming army to help him build a cottage and rescue his fiancée.

Who knew that when Wang Xinyu heard this, he agreed without hesitation, and expressed his willingness to take the Niulanping cottage first, and then attack Wanzhou. Anyway, it doesn't take much time to build a small cottage that doesn't need to waste too much time on the Ming army, and it just happens to eradicate the Tusi who colluded with the Qing court and get the support of the local Li and Miao people.

Hearing that they were going to fight the cottage, all the Miao Li rebels cheered and shook the sky, and their morale was extremely high.

On the mountain road, the native soldiers of Niulanping were ready to defend, and a large group of native soldiers held the mountain road, only waiting for the rebellious rebels to rush up, the native soldiers pushed down the rolling wood and stones, killing and wounding a large number of the rebels attacking the mountain.

Niulanping Tusi walked to the door of the cottage and looked down the mountain, only to see the rebels and Ming troops all over the mountain appear at the foot of the mountain, those Ming troops were well-equipped, and they seemed to be pulling small cannons.

"This damn Wang Jinzhong is actually mixed with the Han people!" Toast scolded.

Master Liu said: "These are Haikou cowards! How did they get here? It turned out that Wang Jinzhong, a bandit, led the way for Haikou! ”

Tusi scolded: "Wang Jinzhong, a traitor to the Li people!" Dare to collude with the pirates! He should have been arrested and cut with a thousand cuts! Solve the hatred in my heart! ”

With the local Li people leading the way, the Ming army soon reached the foot of the mountain.

"Set up the cannon, prepare to attack the mountain!" Wang Xinyu gave the order.

The Franc machine cannon, the six-pounder cannon was erected, and the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the cottage. The gunners loaded the gunpowder, loaded the projectiles, inserted the fuse into the fire door, and prepared it for firing.

The torches were lit, the muzzles were aimed at the cottage, and several gunners adjusted the elevation angle of the guns according to the distance.

Seeing the cannon aimed at him, Tusi and Master Liu's faces turned pale. In the past, the local soldiers were able to defend the cottage entirely because the rebel army had inferior weapons and could not capture the cottage with geographical advantages. But now that they have brought in reinforcements and want to attack with artillery, how can this cottage with wooden walls be able to block the cannons!

The native soldiers guarding the intersection turned pale and trembled, and looked at the artillery below the mountain with dumbfounded eyes.

"Block me!" The old man toast roared in a hoarse voice.

Before the words fell, I heard the roar of the row under the mountain, and one cannon spit out white smoke, and the shells flew more than a mile with a whistling whistle, and smashed up.

The shells smashed on the rocks, splashing out countless sharp gravels, and several native soldiers standing at the intersection were hit by the gravel one after another, and the shrapnel-like gravel pierced the soft **, tore through the muscle tissue, and cut off the limbs. The soldiers who were hit were immediately bleeding, let out a terrible scream, and fell in a large area.

"Bang" a cannonball landed on the stone, bounced again, and hit the head of a native soldier impartially, and the head of the native soldier exploded like a watermelon that had been smashed by a hammer, and the white brains mixed with blood splattered on the stones, and the viscous liquid coated a large area.

The shells fell to the ground again, bouncing continuously, and the soldiers who were hit either had a large hole in their chests, or their intestines flowed out, or their arms and thighs flew out.

Another cannonball landed on the hill, and this shell first hit a rolling log, and the wood shattered into countless pieces, and sharp pieces of wood flew in all directions, killing and wounding a large number of local soldiers around it. The shell struck another stone, which cracked and spewed rubble, killing and wounding a large number of native soldiers.

At the foot of the mountain, the cannon roared, and rows of shells continued to fly up the mountain, and the native soldiers guarding the mountain suffered heavy casualties.

They could only be beaten in vain, but they were powerless to fight back, and the morale of the native soldiers collapsed at once.

"Mom!"

"Run!"

The soldiers left behind the mutilated bodies of their accomplices and turned around and ran.

Even Master Tusi and Master Liu fled back to the cottage in embarrassment and closed the door of the cottage.

"Don't worry, their cannons are too heavy, and they can't move up the mountain if they leave the official road. As long as their artillery can't come up, there is no way to capture our cottage! Tusi comforted Master Liu, who was trembling beside him, and said.

After the Ming army dispersed the native soldiers guarding the mountain road with artillery, the infantry began to advance.

The native soldiers lost the location of the mountain junction and hid in the wall, and the rolling wood and stones could not be used, so they could only use bows and arrows to stop the Ming army that was approaching step by step.

"Whoosh" locust-like arrows fell.

The bows and arrows in the hands of the native soldiers are actually the same as those in the hands of the rebels, both of which are hunting bows used in the mountainous areas, with low power, short range, and almost zero armor-piercing ability.

Most of the arrows were blocked by shields, and some of the light and fluttering arrows fell on the Ming soldiers wearing thick armor, as if they were tickling the Ming army, and they couldn't penetrate the armor on their bodies at all, so they were bounced off and fell to the ground. Some of the arrows were shot at the arms of the Ming soldiers who did not have iron armor, but they also failed to shoot through the paper armor inside their clothes.

"Array!" Wang Xinyu roared.

The ironclad soldiers in front of them erected their shields, forming an impermeable iron wall.

"Musket, step forward!" Wang Xinyu roared.

Twelve heavy muskets were carried forward by the soldiers and aimed at the base of the wall.

"Put!"

A row of deafening roars, heavy muskets sprayed goose-egg-sized projectiles, crashed into the wall, and suddenly there were holes the size of bowls on the wooden wall, the bullets drilled into the wall, and the flesh and blood of the soldiers behind them flew sideways. The native soldier who was directly hit by the projectile left a large transparent hole in his chest; Some of the skulls were torn off, some had their limbs broken, and some had their entire stomachs rotten.

After the heavy musketeer fired, the musketeer stepped forward, stood behind the shield of the ironclad soldiers, and fired in three stages, constantly suppressing the native soldiers in the cottage who tried to show their heads.

The archers kept throwing arrows, and the light arrows overturned over the wall and landed in the stockade, and the unarmored native soldiers inside were shot one after another by the thrown arrows, and many of them were shot into hedgehogs. Some sharpshooters simply aimed at the hole that was broken by the heavy musket gun and fired straight at it, and the armor-piercing heavy arrow drilled through the hole and shot the native soldiers behind.

"Knife soldiers, up!" Wang Xinyu shouted.

A row of short sword soldiers with thick body armor came out of the ranks, walked in front of the ironclad soldiers, and threw the grappling hooks in their hands one after another, throwing them onto the wall, and the hooks hooked above the wall.

"Pull!"

The short knife soldiers pulled the wall hard, only to hear a loud "boom", and the wall, which had been bombarded with heavy muskets, could not withstand the force of the pull, and collapsed with a bang, revealing a large group of terrified native soldiers behind.

"Put!" Gong Xiaoda yelled.

Rows of flintlock pistols and bird guns let out a deafening roar, a torrential rain of bullets poured down, and the stunned native soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"Queue up!" Wang Xinyu pulled out his sword and pointed at the cottage.

The ironclad soldier holding the shield walked neatly, the iron boots collided on the mountain rock, making a powerful sonorous sound, the armor on his body ping-pong, and an iron wall composed of shields pressed towards the cottage step by step.

The archers kept throwing arrows into the cottage, and the walls of the wall, the wood on the ground, were full of white arrow feathers, and the native soldiers who tried to intercept fell one after another.

The ironclad soldiers walked into the village, and the oncoming native soldiers brandished various weapons, slashed and stabbed guns, and slashed on the ironclad soldiers, only to see sparks splashing out; The spear pierced the iron armor, not only did it not pierce, but even the head of the spear was blunt. Some of the native soldiers bent down and tried to cut the footsteps of the ironclad soldiers, but when they went up with a knife, they reluctantly found that the ironclad soldiers even had iron shoes!
