Our Manchurian athletes are born warriors, and many of them were hunters in the mountains before putting on their armor, and they began to lick blood from the knife edge since they knew it, and they were used to killing. When many people joined the army, they also carried their family's weapons and horses. Therefore, the weapons in the army are also full of tricks.

However, as more and more battles were fought, the weapons in the army were gradually unified, and in the end only three categories of sticks, knives, and guns remained.

Eighteen kinds of weapons, if you talk about the practical use that can be used on the battlefield, there are only three kinds of sticks, knives, and guns that can kill people, and the other things will not be used to play tricks if they are ugly.

There is a saying in the army, "the moon stick, the year knife, the gun of a lifetime", the gun is the most profound and difficult to learn in the army. If a person takes a stick, he knows how to knock around, and if he gives him a gun, he doesn't know what to do. The gun has the reputation of the king of a hundred soldiers, and the most effective thing for the two armies to fight against is the gun, and the knife and stick are not counted. If the gun is good, it will have life itself. When the horse stepped on the company camp, "the gun was like a swimming dragon", a long spear protected the people and horses, the head of the gun was cold everywhere, and the ghost cried wolf. Therefore, the most elite soldiers in the army will be gathered together by the commander to form a separate army, called: Tiger Gun Battalion.

However, this is all said in the martial arts of the Han people, our Jianzhou warriors pay attention to the strength of the war, and the emphasis is on moving forward. In every battle, the heavy infantry charged like a torrent of heavy weapons, and I am afraid that no army in this world can stop it, except for ...... In addition to the Ningxiang Army......

Marksmanship is really difficult to learn, but the knife method is not. In fact, since the army joined the Han army, the Han people's sword skills have spread in the army, as long as you have the heart, after a year or two, it is not difficult to become a good knife hand, just practice a few of them repeatedly. Once you do something with someone, you don't have to think about it, and your body will naturally tell you what to do.

However, compared to sticks and guns, it is most dangerous to use knives to compete with people, especially when there is no armor. Because the Han people's knife technique will turn around on the head every time they recruit a style, advance can attack, retreat can defend, this is called entangled in the brain, basically, that is, every move of the knife technique must go in a circle. The so-called knife goes round, and the gun goes straight.

In this way, once the two knife hands start to move, it is possible to separate life and death in an instant, and there is almost no room for maneuver. This is also the reason why you generally don't use real guys to practice when learning knives, which is too dangerous.

But I can't care about that much now, and today I am either dead, or Xia Chengde, the beast, lives and dies.

In Xia Musheng's hand was a standard Ming Army Yanling knife, and as soon as it was pulled out of its sheath, it was like a pool of autumn water, shaking people's eyes. In contrast, the knife in my hand is much simpler, and I am afraid that I will suffer a loss against him.

Just as I was thinking about this, Xia Chengde suddenly roared, as if a thunderclap sounded in the clear sky. In just an instant, the birdman had already pounced in front of me, and the huge pressure made the air become like substance, making it impossible to breathe, and it came so quickly!

As soon as I moved my hand, I grabbed his knife with a sonorous thud.

As soon as the two knives touched, I suddenly felt a wave of shock from the opponent's blade, which shook my whole body.

Sure enough, it is a beast that eats meat every day, and the strength of this guy is like this.

Although I was short, I was humiliated by Lai Du in the village before, and after entering the barracks, I was bullied because of my size. Over the years, I have been working hard all day long, and my strength is not small, and it is not a problem to lift an adult goat with one hand. But now I still feel very difficult for Xia Chengde, which is probably related to the decline in physical strength after being hungry for a few days.

The moment the blade touched, I leaped backwards, and the blade slashed a shining arc in front of me.

But before the arc of the knife could be formed, Xia Chengde slashed again, and the shining arc light shattered.

The guy took another step forward and pressed in front of me, aggressively.

His knife technique is very simple, that is, it is close to the middle palace, Mount Tai is overwhelming, but people can't bear it, and the knife technique he learned before can't be used at all.

In a trance, Xia Chengde had already turned into a huge shield and couldn't help but crash forward, suppressing people breathlessly.

I was suddenly a little scared now, something I had never felt before.

This beast's moves seem to be quite unreasonable, without any tricks, and the same moves in the hands of others have long been cut down by Lao Tzu to the ground. But Xia Chengde's movements are too fast, so fast that people can't react, and the strength is terrifying, every time the knife comes down, you can't catch your breath.

He was a cunning man who ate me to death and was so hungry that I lost my strength.

Looking at the knife in his hand again, there are already two gaps on it. Whether it's strength, martial arts, or weapons, I'm at an absolute disadvantage.

Isn't it true that he will be humiliated under his sword today?

No, there should be a way.

The situation doesn't allow me to think too much, Xia Chengde's third knife came again, and it was still the first knife, unscrupulous.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and hold the handle of the knife with both hands on top of my head, and slam it over. At the same time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, and his right leg was raised, and he used all his strength to push towards his crotch.

I remembered a man dog in the barracks who said: "The so-called martial arts do not require you to train yourself to be a strong man or a copper skin and iron bones, being able to kill people is a good skill, and a good brain is sometimes more important than strength." When people are working with others, there are signs to be found in advance. For example, when someone punches you, they will shrug their shoulders, and the fist has a process of recovering energy. A master will pre-judge through these subconscious actions of the enemy and strike first. And when attacking, these charged actions will also be deliberately hidden.

When I kicked out this leg just now, according to the normal action, my body would lean back, but in the lightning and fire, I forcibly stopped this action and deceived Xia Chengde.

I only heard Peng's sound, and when the two knives were put together, my right leg kicked his **** hard.

If you are defeated, the landing place feels a little strange and empty. I suddenly remembered that a real good hand can retract the **** back into his abdomen when he is with a person, and protect this vital point, this beast surnamed Xia is a good martial artist! Otherwise, I'll be able to kick his balls.

However, this kick still made his face distort instantly, obviously hurting a lot.

He took a breath of cold air and roared, and his voice buzzed in my ears: "Skirt feet, interesting." The knife was violently retracted, cutting from the bottom to the top.

I still underestimated the strength of a person who burst out in pain, and the knife in his hand was instantly cut in two by him.

The knife wind blew in my face, and I subconsciously leaned back, feeling a slight tingling in my brows, a wisp of hot liquid oozing out, and my eyes were red.

"Play martial arts, you're a little short." Xia Chengde's roar sounded in his ears, and he felt that something was hooked on his feet, and the whole person fell on his back.

Then one of Xia Chengde's feet stepped on my chest, and my ribs creaked.

His scarlet mouth opened, and it was full of clear saliva, like a vicious wolf that was eating: "He Man, I have changed my mind now, I don't want your hand." You are a warrior, and the most delicious thing about a warrior is his heart, which is fat, springy, and chewy. ”

"It's over!" My heart is cold, and once I fall to the ground, you never have a chance to get up.

was about to close his eyes and wait for death, when suddenly, a loud shout came from a distance: "Bold, dare to fight privately, what is military law?" ”

The foot on my chest moved quickly, "I've seen Prince Yu, the last general is playing with Brother He Man, it's not a private fight." ”

With that, the birdman fakely dragged me up from the ground and even patted me with dust on my body.

I looked back and was immediately taken aback, a group of people on horseback came, led by the commander of our army, Prince Yu Duoduo, who was followed by Han Dai, the military secretary of the Qing Dynasty, and several battalion generals.

Two guards pointed their spears at us.

"Duoduo, you came just in time, this lowly Han dog actually ate my Jianzhou warrior." Seeing Duoduo, the grievances in my heart in the past few days suddenly came to my heart, pointing to the body of Brother Guniu who was eaten to the bone, and screamed loudly, tears dripped down, and I knelt down with a plop.

"Ahh Not only did he take the chance, but even Han Dai was so shocked that his face turned pale when he saw this terrifying scene, and his throat rolled for a while, as if he was retching.

Han Dai spit out a mouthful of water, angry and annoyed, and said sharply: "Xia Chengde, what kind of person are you eating, isn't this a beast?" ”

Xia Chengde's face was pale, and he was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but Duoduo waved his hand: "That's it, it's a big deal, don't make trouble, go back separately!" I know that the soldiers are very hungry, and when you go down, restrain the troops, and don't make any more trouble. ”

I knelt on the ground and couldn't help but look up at the prince I hadn't seen for many days. He is the commander I admire the most, he fights bravely on the battlefield, and he will charge forward in every battle, and he is a model for my warriors to build a state. But today, his face was gray, his eyes were full of red silk, and he looked extremely tired and depressed.

Xia Chengde's dog is so hateful, I originally thought that Duoduo would punish this bastard minion severely. But I didn't want to be the commander but I was going to send him away with just one sentence, which made me anxious, and I couldn't help but shout: "Duoduo, you can't let go of this minion......"

Before I could finish speaking, one of the guards next to Dodor pulled a shot into my vest, and it was so inward that it churned five times, and a mouthful of blood gushed into my mouth, and I almost vomited it.

The guard knew me well, and although he was ruthless when he did it, he kept giving me a look, as if to say that Duoduo was in a very bad mood, so you should not anger him again, otherwise, even if you are brothers, Duoduo will have to take your life if he gives an order.

Compared to a general with troops, I am just a small soldier, and naturally I have no weight in Duoduo's mind. Even if I am a Manchurian, and Xia Chengde is our minion.

I was so angry that I couldn't say a word because of the mouthful of blood in my chest and throat, and I was covered in cold sweat.

Xia Chengde's birdman was not in a hurry to leave, and arched his hand: "Prince Yu, Da Sima, there is a sentence in the end that I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Duoduo and Han Dai said at the same time, "You ask." ”

Xia Chengde said cautiously: "Prince Yu, Da Sima, we don't need to say much about the situation now, more than 30,000 troops were surrounded by more than 100,000 horses of the Ningxiang Army, Lufeng Army, and Qin Army. The territory is too small, and the food has been eaten up again, so it will not be possible to go on like this. It's better for everyone to fight hard, break through, retreat to the north of the Huai River first, rest for a while, raise enough strength, and then come back to take revenge. It's not a way to stay here like this. The morale of the troops is already unstable, and you two have to come up with a charter as soon as possible, so that the soldiers can rest assured. ”

This question is like a sledgehammer hitting Han Dai's heart, he didn't take care of things very much, but when the battle was like this, seeing that the elite of the Eight Banners were going to die here, he couldn't help but speak at this time. However, what to say, he smiled bitterly: "General Xia, I know what you mean." However, the troops did not fail to think of opening a passage to the north. But more than a dozen troops were sent out, and every time they were beaten back, hey! ”

Xia Chengde, the brute, also lowered his head and muttered, "Even you have no way, it seems that it is going to be finished." ”

Several other soldiers around him also looked gloomy.

"Shut up, seeing that you are so depressed, are you still my warriors in Jianzhou?" At this time, Duoduo was annoyed, and scolded sharply: "Don't think that Lao Tzu really has no way to sit still, hehe, I underestimate Duoduo too much." ”

As he spoke, he sneered loudly.

"Does the prince have a way?" Everyone was excited.

Duoduo nodded affirmatively, and said loudly: "Originally, this is a military secret, and Lao Tzu should not have told you. However, looking at your unproductive birds, you don't have to annoy people, so today I simply put out a certain plan and dish. Tell you the truth, Lao Tzu deliberately let the Ningxiang army surround our army, do you understand the flowering of the center/"

He clenched his fists hard, and his voice became louder and louder: "Don't forget, this time I went south from the Qing Dynasty to extinguish the Ming Dynasty, but I am not the only one who has more than one person. Jiangnan has Azig's 100,000 troops, and Huai'an also has 100,000 horses in Zhunta. ”

"What kind of goods is the Shandong army on the Huai'an side, everyone must know very well, that is, a group of timid and cowardly rabbits. Back then, when the thieves attacked Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen asked the Shandong army to send troops to Qinwang, Liu Zeqing was scared, and even pretended to fall on a horse and injured his leg, and refused to send troops. When I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, this person did not send an arrow, and fled directly to Jianghuai with the Shandong army, handing over the entire Shandong hometown to others. You say, just such a soft egg, can he be the opponent of the tower? Maybe Huai'an has been taken by my Qing Dynasty at this moment, and the Zhun Tower Department is rushing to Yangzhou day and night. ”

"As for Jiangnan Azig all the way, everyone knows how powerful the people are along the way. When he was in Shaanxi, Azig swept the entire Sanqin and was almost invincible. This time, the army of great victory marched east along the Yangtze River, were there troops of the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River? He spread his hands: "No, don't tell Lao Tzu that Minggou Jingying is also an army." ”

"Compared with Yangzhou and Huai'an, Azig's side is really relaxed. Maybe he has now taken Nanjing and captured Hongguang Xiao'er. Everyone, think about it, the Ningxiang Army is fighting hard here. Suddenly, Zhun Ta and Azig suddenly arrived, surrounded Sun Yuan's thieves, and carried the head of Hongguang Xiao'er, telling the Han dogs that their country was dead, their emperor was dead, and what was the situation. ”

The more Duoduo spoke, the more agitated he became, his face flushed unhealthily: "This is my plan, the center blossoms. Like a magnet, the most capable troops of Minggou are attracted to Yangzhou. What is this called in the art of war...... Pull the grass to attract the snake, no, no, no, Wei Wei to save Zhao ...... No, it, that's what it's like anyway. I'm under a lot of pressure here, and it's easy for other troops to fight. ”

"It's the art of war, you know?" He said so many words in one go, and his head was covered with hot sweat: "Everyone rest assured, bear with me today, according to calculations, in three or five days at most, Azig and Zhun Tower should arrive." When the time comes, we will break Sun Yuan's body into ten thousand pieces. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone let out a long breath, and their faces showed a look of sudden realization. Xia Chengde and others said: "The prince is smart." He retreated happily.

Duoduo was so confident that I couldn't contain the excitement in my heart as I knelt on the ground, and my body trembled.

To tell the truth, the situation before me has become so bad that the soldiers have not shown it for many days, and a strong man like me cannot stand it, and as for those who sweep a little bit, as they walk on the road, they will fall to the ground and never get up again.

Today, 30,000 soldiers are surrounded in these two small villages, like fish caught in a net, being pulled out of the water little by little, and the moment they come out of the water is the deadline.

Everyone knew that this time it was a certain death, either from hunger, or from the plague, or at the moment when the enemy launched a general attack.

The enemy will definitely attack, and the reason why they are not in a hurry to make a move is because they want to wait for the last trace of strength of our Jianzhou army to run out.

I have always admired the commander of Dordor to the point of throwing myself to the ground, and I feel that as long as I follow him, there is no battle in this world that cannot be won and difficulties that cannot be overcome.

Now, the Jianzhou army has been defeated and disillusioned, and I have a deep despair of the future, and these days I have been shuttling through the barracks full of corpses like walking corpses, struggling and refusing to swallow my last breath.

Now that I heard Dodor explain his plan, everything was clear, and it turned out that it was all Dodor's plan.

It's really clever, it deserves to be the first warrior in my state, the first general who can fight well, although his grandson is just like that, right?

I bowed down deeply and shouted, "I am willing to follow the king, bow to the fullest, and die!" ”

Then Dodor jumped off his horse and walked to where I am. I bowed my head on my knees, and I couldn't see anyone, but I saw a pair of firm steps, and a pair of hands stretched out, fixed in the air.

Several others also dismounted.

After a long time, the hand retracted, and then Duoduo's cold voice came: "He Man, you are well in front, why did you come here?" ”

"Lord Wang, it's really that Xia Chengde is hateful, and he wants to eat the corpse of my big brother Guniu."

"That's enough." Before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted by Dodor, and although his tone was still majestic, one could still feel a sigh in it: "It's just a stinky skin, burned, buried, and eaten, and it's a destination after all." It's not good to eat people, but what if you don't do this, if you don't do this, will you starve to death? Have you read "Water Margin"? ”

"I haven't read it, I can't read it, but I've heard people tell the story."

Duoduo: "The heroes in it don't also eat people, and it is not a big deal to drink other people's hearts and livers......" He paused, "A certain society has ordered a ban on eating the corpses of soldiers, it hurts morale too much." ”

I exclaimed excitedly: "The prince is wise. Thinking of the big brother who had been shaved to the bones, tears fell to the ground in strings.

Saying that, he ignored me anymore, then turned his head and asked, "Bijiang, you have also seen the situation of patrolling the camp just now, what do you think?" ”

The sour man surnamed Mao said: "It is estimated that the troops can only hold out for about ten days, and I hope that Azig and Zhunta can arrive on time so that the center of our army can blossom...... Dead bodies are not to be eaten, otherwise they will get the plague. As I saw along the way, many of the soldiers had contracted cholera, and if they were left unchecked, all 30,000 people would have fallen in a few days. ”

Duoduo: "The problem is that the medicine in the army has run out, and this epidemic is uncontrollable." ”

Mao Xiang: "Lord Wang, according to Xiaosheng's vision, there are two ways to control the plague. It's just that I don't know if the prince agrees or not. ”

Dodor: "You say, if you can, do it." ”

Mao Xiang: "The first method is to isolate, to set up a separate camp for people with cholera, and not to allow them to come into contact with others. Wait until the battle is over, and then send someone to treat it. ”

Dodor: "Say the second way. ”

Mao Xiang: "There is another way, all weapons are issued, and the patients are allowed to break through." Even if you can't kill it, you can infect the Ningxiang Army. ”

Hearing this, I was angry and anxious, jumped up suddenly, and scolded: "You pestilence is going to let my Jianzhou warriors go to death, let them fend for themselves, good vicious birdmen." ”

Seeing my fierce appearance, he took a step back in fright, and hid behind Duoduo, this coward, old rabbit.

"Who got you up?" Suddenly, Dodor reached out and kicked me to the ground.

He ignored me either, and only said to Mao Xiang: "Letting a patient break through is undoubtedly sending him to death, this thing is too demoralizing to do." Let's use the first method, isolate the patient. "I don't know why Dodor trusts this lowly man dog so much, I can't figure it out.

Mao Xiang: "Yes." ”

Duoduo was silent for a moment, and then asked slowly: "It's good news that the troops can hold out for ten days, I'm afraid that Azig and Zhunta won't arrive on time by then, besides, the soldiers are hungry like this, and I'm afraid that I won't have the strength to fight at that time, so I have to find something to eat anyway." Hey, the war horses in the army have been slaughtered, and it is impossible to think about it. ”

Han Dai sighed: "Duoduo, although there are great talents in the territory, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. He is not a god, and he can't give birth to grain on this white ground, but what, what a problem! ”

At this time, the plague surnamed Mao sneered: "If you want to cook without rice, it's not impossible." However, this matter still has to be nodded by the prince and Da Sima. ”

Han Dai was curious: "You really have a way to do this." ”

Duoduo exclaimed in surprise: "You can get food, say it, say it." ”

Now, even I pricked up my ears.

Mao Xiang said lightly: "You can't get food Xiaosheng, but you can still get a lot of meat, and what General Xia did reminded Xiaosheng." Don't we still have more than a thousand people in our hands, if they are all killed, marinated into salted meat, and it will be no problem for ten days and a half months. I'm afraid that some soldiers won't eat, and this matter requires military orders from the prince and Da Sima. ”

Ah, cannibalism, not only was I shocked and angry at this time, but even Duoduo and Han Dai took a breath of cold air.

As far as I know, after entering Jianghuai, our Eighth Banner Army recruited people along the way, and the total number reached more than 10,000. After the defeat of Yangzhou, the people fled, but more than 1,000 people still fled here with the army.

No matter what these people say, they are also the same clan of Mao Xiang, just because of his words, they will become the food in the mouths of the soldiers, and this surname is too vicious.

"Cannibal ......" Duoduo was obviously frightened, and there was a sound in his mouth.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with cannibalism." Mao Xiang said lightly: "When I attacked Jinzhou in the Qing Dynasty, didn't the Ming army eat people when they ran out of food, and I didn't see what happened to them, but I was uncomfortable for a few days, just get used to it." Xiaosheng is full of history books, and there are many things about cannibalism in books. During the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang patrolled Suiyang, and the rebels besieged the city, and the city ran out of food. At this time, the soldiers could only get a spoonful of rice a day, and when they were hungry, they had to eat bark and paper. The defenders were only a little more than a thousand left, so thin that they couldn't draw their bows, and there were no rescuers outside. In order to boost morale, Zhang Xun killed his beloved concubine, cooked it to reward the soldiers, and the general Xu Yuan also gave it to the soldiers as his slaves. In the end, the people in the entire Suiyang City were eaten by them, but when the descendants mentioned Zhang Xun, they all gave a thumbs up and said 'hero'. ”

"During the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Cao Cao Mengde and Lü Bu fought a decisive battle in Yanzhou, and both armies ate the military food cleanly. Cao Jun saw that he was overwhelmed, and the strategist Chen Yu offered a cannibalistic strategy, so Cao Cao sent troops to arrest people everywhere and satisfy his hunger with human flesh. When Lu Bu saw that Cao's army began to eat people, he was not far behind, and also led his troops to arrest people everywhere. That's it, you eat and I eat, and the two armies are alive and the people of Yanzhou are all eaten. When later generations mention Cao Mengde, don't they also call him a hero? ”

Speaking of this, Mao Xiang's face was awe-inspiring, and there was even a hint of madness in his expression: "Those who have achieved great things should be informal, and they should do everything they can." Lord Wang, history is a bitch to be dressed up, don't be afraid of fame. The so-called king and thief, as long as you win, the history books are at your disposal. If you can turn things around in this battle, when future generations mention your name, they will only bow and worship. You are the real hero! ”

Duoduo was silent for a moment: "That's all it can be." ”

"No!" Not only me, but even Han Dai couldn't help but scream.

Duoduo kicked me in the chest again: "Bastard, when is it your turn to intervene in military affairs." Also, Han Dai, you ......"

The severe pain hit, I was injured internally, I suffered this kick, I couldn't bear it anymore, and spit out the black and red blood with a "wow".

His tone was cold: "Lord Shangshu, what you have is exquisite food, and you don't want you to eat people, just stay in your tent and eat wine and read books, and you can't take care of Lao Tzu's affairs." Don't forget, if Sun Yuan comes to the old camp, you will inevitably have your head cut off. ”

Duoduo spoke so rudely, Han Dai was so angry that he trembled: "You, you", for a long time, he stomped on the war horse and shouted: "Duoduo, you can do whatever you want." And he brushed his sleeves away.

Duoduo said to Mao Xiang: "You give me an order, first slaughter all the people, so that the soldiers can eat enough." By the way, I said to the people below that everyone below Niu Lu Zhangjing must use chopsticks, and those who dare not eat it will be stripped naked and thrown into the pot to cook. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates will go and give orders to the various armies." Mao Xiang's voice replied in an unusually calm voice.

I don't know when Dodor left, but I sat on the ground for a long time, and it was with great difficulty that I gained strength. Trembling to his feet, he untied the big brother from the bull, cut off a large piece of canvas from the tent next to him with a knife, wrapped him, and prepared to find another place to bury him.

But after thinking about it, I don't know how much is buried in the ground under my feet
