Chapter 10 The ground cage is trapped in Yingjie, and the soldiers are waiting for the time
"Raise the banner?
Xiao Yue was suddenly happy, but she was worried.
I am glad that my master finally began to stand up and avenge himself as he decided back then, but what I am worried about is whether he can succeed with his own strength?
In the past ten years, Meng Yuan's iron cavalry has been strong for all to see, and their Red Phoenix Army, which is only more than a thousand people, can it succeed?
"That's right!" Tapping her chin, the little dragon girl commanded: "And the main Mongolian force has been completely annihilated by me, and now the place where the barracks are stationed must be empty, so Zhao Chen can lead the Red Phoenix Army to occupy it." Moreover, we don't have enough foundation reserves, so we just need these iron armor and bows and crossbows as weapons, otherwise how can we capture Luzhou?"
Xiao Yue saw the weapons everywhere, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the master has long been sure, so he released the news of his existence, just to attract the other party, so that he can get these weapons?"
"That's right, if we have these iron-armored crossbows, we will be more sure to attack Luzhou. The little dragon girl bowed her head lightly, sweeping the weapons all over the place, revealing a hint of pride.
After all, ancient times are not as good as modern times, not only because of the lack of productivity, but also because of the long years of war, the population is also sparse.
The population of a state like Xingyuan Mansion is only a few hundred thousand, and it is rare to have 30,000 or 50,000 people in a remote city like Luzhou, and there are less than 10,000 people in Huguan County, where they are located. Even so, it was the result of years of hard work in recruiting displaced people, and it was rare for a population of less than 10,000 people to be able to support themselves, but it was really impossible to open up minerals and forge artillery.
Among other things, it is extremely difficult to obtain the ore needed to smelt steel.
It's not just gunpowder that needs to be blown up to get rocks, it's just the miners who mine the ore that need to be huge. Without the excavator and the flame to cooperate, you can only rely on the shoulder to pull people's backs, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
What's more, in ancient times, mining and smelting iron ore and forging weapons have always been monopolized by the government, so few people are willing to risk death to do it.
In order to avoid exposing herself to be attacked by the other party in advance, Xiaolongnu can only act in secret, and this kind of thing is easy to expose herself, so the less the better.
As for the so-called 100,000 people hiding in the mountains for more than ten years to be able to burst flintlock pistols and cast-iron artillery, she just wants to say that the food problem alone is enough to collapse any organization!
This person wants to climb the technology tree?
That's a fantasy!
Not to mention this, after Zhao Chen got the news, he immediately divided the Red Phoenix Army, which totaled about 1,000 people, into two groups, one group directly cleaned up the weapons left by everyone on the mountain, and the other group was led by Xiao Feng himself and went straight into the barracks.
Because most of the troops were taken away by surprise, there are only hundreds of Han slaves and dozens of guards and soldiers in this barracks, how can they resist Xiao Feng's might? In just a while, all those who dared to resist were killed, and the rest of the Han slaves surrendered, because they were rescued and restored to their original identities, these Han slaves naturally respected Xiao Feng extremely much, and directly bowed down to his command.
Seeing that after the disintegration of the enemy, Xiao Feng asked Xiao Yue to count the trophies, whether it was those armor, crossbows, bows and arrows, or the war horses brought by the Mongolian cavalry, they were all very important military supplies, completely similar to the pistols, submachine guns and even armored vehicles of later generations.
It's just that when the statistics were being made, Zhao Chen found some strange situations in the private cage here, and quickly found Xiao Feng and asked, "Lord Feng, I found someone here, I wonder if you can go and take a look?"
Because Xiao Feng is a woman and the core existence of the first army, it is a little inappropriate to call it a saint and a goddess, but if it is called a young master, there are gender difficulties, and he has to take the word "phoenix" in his life, and add the word "lord" after it to show respect.
"Alone, could it be that he is so strange?"
In the huge tent, Xiao Feng was groping for a glass cup, with a wide mouth and a deep cup at the top, supported by a slender cup stem, and its form was obviously not the Central Plains style, and when she heard someone ask, she immediately asked.
Zhao Chen replied: "That person is very strong, and he shouldn't be under the two ministers." And for some reason, the man always stayed in prison and didn't come out. Someone tried to go, but he was also slapped by him, and he couldn't do anything about it. "The left cheek is red and swollen, and it is obvious that he has also suffered from that man's loss.
"Okay, take me to see it!"
Putting down the things in his hand, Xiao Feng followed Zhao Chen to the front of the prison. The prison was a rudimentary one, dug straight out of the ground, with a wooden fence on top of it, and inside it was chained with iron chains, and only a ray of sunlight penetrated through the cracks to reveal the man's appearance. The body is broad, the eyebrows are clear, although he is a little embarrassed because he is in prison, he is still rebellious, and his eyes are closed as if he is rejecting people.
Obviously, Zhang Hongwu, who was imprisoned because of his offense and ignorance.
Xiao Feng smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
Suddenly raised his head, Zhang Hongwu was a little stunned, looked Xiao Feng up and down carefully, and then returned to his previous appearance of complete ignorance, and replied: "Zhang Shijie!"
"Zhang Shijie, the master of the world?"
Just heard this name, Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, remembering Zhang Shijie in the famous Southern Song Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, but she immediately threw it out of her mind, after all, it is common for Chinese to have so many names with the same name, not to mention that her nickname is similar to the famous Sanwu in a martial arts novel, does this mean that she is that person?
Throwing these aside, Xiao Feng replied, "It's just that I'm afraid this is not your real name." ”
"What if it's true? What if it's fake? Do you care?" Zhang Hongwu, or the current Zhang Shijie, argued casually, and was not interested in saying his real name.
Looking around, Xiao Feng didn't bother much, and asked again: "That's true." It's just that what are you doing here? Are you a loyal lackey of Meng Yuan? It's a pity that they don't seem to appreciate it. There was still a smile on his face, but there was a threat in it.
She's not a murderer, but she's not a good person, and she won't mind being ruthless if this person is a serious threat to her future plans.
"Are you from the Red Jacket Army?" Finally opening his eyes, Zhang Shijie finally raised his head and concentrated his scattered gaze on Xiao Feng, a little regretful and a little angry: "It's a pity that they have already perished! Even if they still exist, it's just that the mud bodhisattva crossing the river itself is difficult to protect." Can you succeed too? Don't forget, you're just a woman!" Speaking of this, he shook his head again and again, not believing what Xiao Feng said at all.
It's a pity that I never like to be restrained by others, and I hate being oppressed by others, so I did it. As for the others, who cares! As for you, can you tell me what exactly you plan to do? from here, or do you want to join me from here?"
Probably because Xiao Feng's momentum was too aggressive, but Zhang Shijie hesitated for a long time.
After a long time, he replied, "I don't seem to have a choice. ”
With just a wave, a few flames were spilled, and the bowl was burned on the wooden fence, Xiao Feng said slowly: "Of course, the decision on your future is never in your hands. ”
"Okay, let me follow you. To be clear, I could have escaped anytime and anywhere. In desperation, in order to save his life, Zhang Shijie had to respond casually. After all, the other party is too powerful, and many achievements such as killing the old man of the blood yuan are happening nearby, how can he resist with his own strength?
"That's good, Zhao Chen let him out!
Nodding, Xiao Feng ordered.
Zhao Chen was a little puzzled, and asked, "Lord Feng, it's better to lock a prisoner like this here, let him starve to death, how can he be rescued?"
"It's okay!" The little dragon girl waved her hand to signal Zhao Chen to stop talking, and with a flick of her sleeves, the wooden fence and the iron chain all shattered, she laughed half joy and half warning, and said: "This person knows the general situation, understands the strategy, and is more persistent, he should be a handsome man." I don't lack one or two dishes and chopsticks now, why can't I take them in?" Immediately, his face suddenly tensed, and he reprimanded with a warning: "I hope you won't be killed by me then." He immediately walked into the distance, leaving only a slightly ethereal voice in the eyes of the two of them.
"I see, Lord Feng. ”
The eyes full of suspicion never faded, although Zhao Chen was full of puzzlement about Xiao Feng's decision, he also knew the reason why she decided to be free every time.
And that Zhang Shijie massaged his wrist, which was a little painful from being chained, and his vigilance did not fade at all: "This woman is so strange, does she really want to follow Zhang Jiao and have a Yellow Turban Uprising?"
On the other side, Xiao Xing had already reported to Xiao Feng in the tent camp where he suddenly saw it: "Master, in this battle, we have captured a total of 1,112 war horses, 312 iron armors, 1,282 recurve compound bows, 465 crossbows, and the rest of the grain and cloth are also in varying quantities. ”
If they had nothing before, they would naturally lack confidence and would not dare to attack Luzhou.
But if there are these weapons, why bother with those damages?
"Of course, otherwise what am I planning so much for?" Xiao Feng was also overjoyed, but seeing that Xiao Xing was a little restrained, he couldn't help patting the seat to signal her to approach, and then forcefully pulled her to sit beside him, and said: "It's just that in private, you don't want to call me a master, it's a lot for no reason." In the future, you can call me my sister at ordinary times. ”
"Teacher-sister!" Biting his lip slightly, Xiao Xing hesitated a little, and his eyes were full of sadness: "Do you really want to do it? Actually, there is no need to do it to this extent." Thinking of the busy crowd outside, she naturally felt a little sad.
Xiao Feng shook her head and vetoed: "Even if I don't do it, do you think that Mongolia will let us go?" Seeing that she was a little sad, she reached out and hugged her shoulders, hugged her in her arms, and said softly: "I know that you have always been kind, but many things are not benevolent. Of course, if you don't like blood, you can take care of housekeeping later. ”
Ten years ago, when Xiao Xing was stimulated, she was extremely disgusted with the bloody qi, and watching those bloody battlefield scenes before, naturally made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The snort was full of that familiar breath, Xiao Xing felt that the sorrow in his heart had dissipated a little, and muttered, "Thank you, sister." As he spoke, he felt a little sleepy, and unconsciously closed his eyes, and immediately let out a burst of snoring from his snort, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Of course, after all, I'm my sister!"
Soothing the girl in his arms, Xiao Feng's originally smiling face suddenly dimmed, but he couldn't grasp the future direction, but the pair of phoenix eyes were shining in the dark, firm and persistent.
Thinking of the rolling historical trend, she didn't know whether she was a hero who could turn the tide, or an ant who was crushed by the gears of the times!
But there is only one thing that can be certain, and that is that no matter what, there will be no regrets in this life.
