Chapter 102 Poor ** plan!
Chapter 102: Poverty plan!
The gunpowder buried underground exploded.
The scene of the landslide and the earth that Mu Tiantao hoped did not appear.
In the open environment, the power of black gunpowder is not as great as he imagined.
Five hundred kilograms of black gunpowder created a pit on the earth, and took away the lives of less than fifty cavalry and their war horses.
The bandit cavalry who had seen this scene were only in chaos for a while, and then they continued to rush towards Mu Tiantao and others under the city. This time, their team was very scattered.
Although the cannons on the top of the city began to fire, their lethality was very small.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the damage caused by gunpowder, Mu Tiantao remained in place without moving.
He can leave first in the dark, that is to guide everyone. Now, it is dawn, he can't leave anymore.
His musket technique is good. Faced with sporadic cold arrows, he can still shoot, recharge, and then shoot in an orderly manner. As long as the cavalry entering his sight is difficult to escape.
After firing four or five guns, the cavalry had already arrived. He abandoned the musket, lifted up his spear, and stabbed him out against the war horse.
When facing cavalry, the spear is not required to exert force, and the inertia of the cavalry charge can easily completely evaporate the power of the spear.
However, doing this is very tempting to use a spear. Even if he likes this spear, he must let go after it stabs into the cavalry's waist and ribs, otherwise he will be injured by the rapid force of the cavalry.
The spear and the cavalry died together, but he took the opportunity to grab the brigade of the war horse, rolled over the horse, and carried a knife to kill the thieves who were chasing his subordinates.
As a nobleman in the army, the cavalry, the Lantian Army, which has transitioned to the hot weapons, also attaches great importance to it. Yushan Academy has no less than 3,000 war horses damaged by training the scholars to ride horses every year.
Therefore, Mu Tiantao can be regarded as a young man who grew up on a horse. When he faced the cavalry composed of farmers among the bandits, the advantages and disadvantages of riding were undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
The war horses intertwined, and the bandits buried their corpses.
Xue Yuandu struggled to push the enemy's body away from his body, and then he heard Mu Tiantao say to him: "Let your father open the door and organize a musket to welcome the enemy."
After saying that, he rode his horse to rescue other subordinates.
With Mu Tiantao at the forefront, Xue Yuandu finally had the opportunity to organize the disintegrated manpower. Seeing that Mu Tiantao fought to the death, these people gradually became quiet. The sound of gunfire like fried beans gradually sounded, from sparse to dense, and eventually turned into regular three-stage shooting.
The cavalry fell from their horses like fallen leaves. In view of this, the cavalry following behind slowed down their horses' hooves and watched the officers and soldiers who raided their camp escape from death.
Mu Tiantao's battle under Zhengyang Sect attracted countless bystanders.
Especially the civilians who were forced to be recruited by the officers and soldiers, seeing Mu Tiantao so brave, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Mu Tiantao pulled off his cloak, pulled out his spear from the pile of corpses, and shouted loudly in front of Liu Zongmin, who was fifty feet from the horse, "Liu Zhe, dare to fight with grandpa!"
Liu Zongmin heard this sentence very clearly, spitting on the ground, and smilingly said to his left and right: "Let him die today."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and went straight.
The bandits left one after another, and the cheers on the city were getting higher and higher. At this moment, Mu Tiantao's reputation as a young hero had been completely confirmed.
But no one knew that the 1,000 people who followed Mu Tiantao out of the city in the middle of the night came back less than four hundred...
Mu Tiantao had feather arrows inserted on his shoulders. If it weren't for his armor made by Lantian Seike, these wolf-tooth arrows would have taken his life just by taking his life. The wolf-tooth arrows used by the bandit cavalry were usually soaked in horse manure water.
This is a simple military adventure.
Therefore, the entire battle has no passion, and this is the war shrouded in conspiracy.
He cannot produce exciting emotions, nor can he spawn some shocking power, let alone be famous in history.
In Chinese history books, there are countless wars like this, and people just follow the instincts of wild beasts and bite each other.
Mu Tiantao took away fame from this war, the soldiers who survived by chance took away their long-term meal tickets from this war, and the surviving court gained some worthless hope from this insignificant war.
Only those unknown people think that there are still people who are protecting them.
Many times, Chinese historical books record a thing very sloppy and simple.
It is because there are too many dark things hidden in those things.
We are a group of people, and we are willing to believe that everything is good and the starting point of everything is noble.
Darkness is the main color of the world, and the rainbow is just a bridge after the rain.
The former determines people's destiny, while the latter is the hope that the world can see.
"We still have to change all this, right?"
Xia Wanchun was pulling the rope and climbing the Zhangyi Gate wall. Halfway through, he suddenly realized something and asked Hanling Mountain where he was climbing the wall with him.
Han Lingshan looked at the soldiers composed of eunuchs guarding five basins on the top of the city and said, "Yes, we must change."
"Let things go back on the right path, you say, is this our responsibility?"
Hanlingshan climbed up again and said, "First of all, we must let this country go on the right path. For example, doing things is doing things, and we follow the rules, not human feelings. The poor and the rich can enjoy differently in life, but when doing things, they should enjoy the same power."
Xia Wanchun nodded, climbed up a few more times, reached into the douche and climbed to Han Lingshan and said, "Why should I send them to the city wall?"
Han Lingshan jumped onto the city wall and looked at the motionless eunuch soldier and said, "They will not escape."
Xia Wanchun looked at the soldier who had been dead with a long spear but had turned black all over his body and sighed and said, "The Yin soldiers defended the city, and Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, is really a talent.
This kind of talent has been used by my master to fertilize it long ago in our Lantian?"
Han Lingshan looked at the vast wilderness outside the city and sighed: "I thought I would be happy to see the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. Now, I really can't be happy."
Xia Wanchun said: "When I came, my master said that he didn't like seeing this scene and was worried that he would go crazy. He also said, I must see this scene and be vigilant."
"The teacher who never forgets the past and the future is simple and easy to say, but those who truly understand the meaning of it will feel cold, because he knows, what can he do if he knows this sentence?
People will still choose to follow the old path.”
No one who stays in the capital can truly be happy.
The bodies of the people who died of plague in the city were thrown out of the city by officers and soldiers in catapults.
Xia Wanchun saw this scene from Hanling Mountain that came down from the city wall.
Actually, it is quite spectacular... The corpse is flying in the air. It has been dead for a long time and has been hardened by the cold wind. It is similar to a stone when thrown out. Some of them have just died and their bodies are still soft. When thrown out by a catapult, they can still cheer... Some corpses can even make shrill screams...
There were not many people on the wide streets of the capital, and no one was seen. There were only a few thin yellow dogs patrolling the streets. These dogs seemed not afraid of people. When they saw Han Lingshan and Xia Wanchun, they even grinned. It seemed that they wanted to eat these two seemingly healthy human flesh.
Xia Wanchun and Han Lingshan both covered their thick masks on their mouths and noses. When they wore this thick mask mixed with medicinal materials, their breathing was always not so smooth.
Five or six thin gangsters emerged from the alley and stopped them.
They also carried a few colorful bags on their bodies, and the most vicious guy also had a blood-stained knife on his hand, and the blood on the knife was very fresh.
Han Lingshan ignored their threat and continued to walk forward. Xia Wanchun naturally waved his knife. The two of them walked through the alley with light steps, and at this time there were more than a dozen fresh corpses lying on the alley.
After a while, some people who drove the carriage to collect the corpses saw these corpses. They turned a blind eye to the terrifying knife wounds on the corpses, picked up the bags left on the ground, then loaded the corpses on the carriage, and then sent them to the city walls, allowing the catapults to throw the corpses out of the city.
Mu Tiantao returns victoriously.
As soon as he arrived at Prince Mu's mansion, he saw Duke Cheng Zhu Chunchen, Duke Bao Zhu Guobi, Minister of War Zhang Jinyan, and Chief Secretary Wei Dezao, sitting in the hall of his house silently drinking tea.
Mu Tiantao also sat silently on the main seat, and two servants came up to help him remove his armor. Some wolf-toothed arrows shot through the armor. After taking off the armor, blood flowed down.
"It is most important to disinfect with alcohol and clean it up."
Under the gaze of Duke Cheng, Duke Baoguo Zhu Guobi, Secretary of War Zhang Jinyan, and Chief Secretary Wei Dezao, the servant's wife used the alcohol brought back from Lantian by Mu Tiantao, to lift the wound, meticulously cleaned the wound, and then wrapped it in gauze.
"Last night, he went out of the city to attack the camp, but he did not win. Liu Zongmin, a thief, was very alert. As soon as I started to attack his front army camp, he was ready. Although it disrupted his front army camp and burned down his central army food and grass, this did not allow Liu Zongmin to leave the capital."
Mu Tiantao said it very pertinently, and even reported the military information honestly.
Chief assistant Wei Dezhao shook his head and said, "The prince's bravery was shown in charge last night. I have all seen it all. I will naturally report to Your Majesty and will not let the prince down and fight for the country.
I and others came today, not to ask the prince for advice on the war. Now, the capital is short of food and grass, and the army is not paid. The prince used to collect a lot of money. At this time, I should take it out and ask me to recruit more people who dare to fight and defend the capital."
Mu Tiantao raised his head blankly and looked at the four people with a serious expression and said, "The salary collected has been handed over to His Majesty. I think you guys can't not know, right?"
