Chapter 1088(1/2)
Many times, with the advancement of technology, some traditions are sadly lost.
In essence, the Ming Dynasty was the country that most forgot its origins. In other words, it was the country that loved the new and disliked the old the most.
As soon as something new appears, the old thing will be abandoned immediately.
The entire Ming Empire was filled with this strong color of utilitarianism.
Relatively speaking, those mountain people with little education appear to be more traditional.
Just like now, Li Xiao received a... challenge from Mr. Long Ni Sangjiu.
Yes! It is indeed a letter of challenge.
The guy in front of me has a thick black turban on his head and a black cloak on his body. Even his face is dark, and he speaks Chinese fluently.
Li Xiao glanced at Kong Youde. This old guy said that the Miao people did not respect civility, which was obviously wrong.
The guy in front of me has at least received a good education.
"Your leader invites me to fight outside Nanning City tomorrow?" Li Xiao looked at the letter of challenge in his hand and asked again.
He very much suspected that these guys were suicidal.
In modern warfare, both sides fear that the attack will not be sudden enough.
In order to achieve a sudden attack, both sides of the war will even make various strategic feints to deceive the other party.
These days, I actually received a letter of challenge...!
"Yes! My king said that your army and ours will fight to the death outside Nanning City.
If you win, the king of my family will bow his head and become his vassal, and the descendants of the Miao family will never betray the Ming Dynasty again.
If you lose, you will withdraw from Jiangnan. You and I will rule across the river!"
The envoy was quite arrogant. When he looked at Li Xiao, he used his nostrils as well as his eyes. It seemed that only in this way could he fully express his contempt for the Grand Marshal of Ming Dynasty.
"Yeah! The request is not too high, just draw the river and rule it." Li Xiao nodded, thinking this guy can die.
"Cut out your tongue and throw it back!" After Li Xiao finished speaking, he threw the letter of challenge on the ground and turned to find Mr. Ao to discuss what to eat at night.
"The two countries are at war without killing each other. You are the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty. You can't...!" The envoy panicked on the spot.
"You said it yourself, the two countries are fighting without fighting. Who told you that the Miaoman and Ming Dynasties are related to each other?
That king of yours committed suicide, so you can’t blame the Ming Dynasty." Kong Youde scolded and ordered the soldiers to pull him down for execution.
During the execution, everyone thought this guy had a bad mouth.
So based on Li Xiao's order, he added some private information and pulled out all his teeth!
It would be fatal to remove so many teeth at one time.
The envoy, who was only half alive, was carried out of Nanning by his own men.
The next morning, Li Xiao stood in the bunker on the Nanning city wall.
These bunkers are all standard reinforced concrete buildings. Direct hits from 88mm artillery can't penetrate them.
Li Xiao held the telescope in his hand and looked at it for a long time but put it down.
He really thinks highly of these toast masters!
Tactics and such don't exist at all for them. It is estimated that the war they envision is for everyone to swarm forward.
If you are far away, use a gun to hit, if you are close, use a knife to chop. The two sides fight to see who has more!
No matter how many people die, if there are still people on your side standing in the end, then the war is considered a victory.
Li Xiao once again suspected that these guys were here to commit suicide.
Under the care of automatic weapons, a crazy collective charge is tantamount to collective suicide.
Although the Second Division does not have many armored tanks, it is equipped with a lot of mg-43 tanks.
And the soldiers also have Aka 47 rifles in their hands.
The drawings of this rifle are based on the classic assault rifle AK-47. In addition to the outstanding burst shooting, the continuous shooting is also very domineering.
Although the gun cannot be suppressed, the bullets will fly into the sky.
Continuous burst shooting is also very fatal.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty has an overwhelming advantage in artillery. If nothing else, the group of people on the opposite side are standing so densely, it must be very exciting to cover the area with rocket launchers.
Originally, Li Xiao thought that he needed to deploy troops along the railway line. At least to ensure the safety of railway transportation!
Moreover, the safety of the road from Qinzhou Port to Nanning must be ensured.
Although there are many troops on hand, they are not rich.
Now that all the problems have been solved, Li Xiao feels that one regiment can handle these 100,000 rebels.
God is also very kind to me. The sun is so bright that it looks white. There is not a single cloud in the sky!
It seems that God wants to take a good look at today's battle.
Before the agreed time came, Li Xiao had the urge to order the cannon fire. If nothing else, the formation the other party put out was so damn tempting.
The opponent's so-called formation is... no formation!
Tens of thousands of people stood loosely together. They were whispering to each other, and some of them were still eating.
Li Xiao even saw someone running to the edge of the woods, taking off his belt and starting to defecate.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, several great dancers appeared in the opponent's team.
Although I know that the Miao people do not dance to great heights.
But in Li Xiao's view, these people are great performers.
They were waving strange things in their hands, dancing and jumping around the burning bonfire like convulsions.
And it lasts for an hour!
There was even a hint of respect in Li Xiao's heart. He could dance for an hour. This kind of physical exertion is not something that ordinary people can afford.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, a guy wearing black clothes, a black cloak, and a thick cotton cloth wrapped around his head stood up.
They were shouting something loudly on the high platform.
This guy must have a loud voice, otherwise his words would not be heard clearly by tens of thousands of people.
At least Li Xiao felt that there was definitely a demand for the golden throat medicine that people in this place had developed.
When Li Xiao wants to do this, his men will pull out a wire and get a microphone and tweeter.
So our commander-in-chief doesn’t need the golden throat treasure at all.
The generals of the Ming Dynasty stood in their bunkers, watching what was happening five kilometers away like a monkey show.
At 9:30, the Dancing God's group entered the climax period.
Hundreds of people were pulled out in a dark crowd, all of them women. But looking at their clothes, they didn't look like Han women.
These women took off their skirts one after another, and then...then lay down on the ground, facing the Ming army's position outside Nanning City with their naked lower bodies.
"Fuck...!" Mr. Ao was well-informed, but he was still shocked.
I have fought in battles all my life and have never seen such a formation.
This..., what the hell is this going to do?
"Oops! Master Ao, if you really want to go up there and fuck... there are so many people here, you will have kidney disease! You have kidney disease!" Li Xiao laughed and joked about Master Ao.
Among this large group of people, only Li Xiao dared to joke with him.
If Yuan Baozhong dared to speak like this, Big Ear Scraper would have slapped him.
"Kidneys are so heavy! What is this for? Do you know?" Mr. Ao did not put down the telescope in his hand.
In the market, among the bastards in the bunker, no one put down their binoculars.
"I don't know!" Li Xiao shook his head. Having lived in two lifetimes, he didn't know what these people were going to do.
"Oh! It seems like they are doing some rituals." After all, Kong Youde, the local snake, knows the local customs better.
"When you do something? Do you have to take off your pants when you do something?" Mr. Ao's eyes widened.
In the Central Plains, you would definitely be arrested for being immoral.
"The locals have a saying that women who are menstruating can use their filth to drive away evil spirits and make guns unable to fire!"
Kong Youde said slowly.
"Does anyone believe this?" Mr. Ao was shocked. He didn't expect that after all these years, some people would still believe this.
"The mountain people here are uncivilized, and they will believe whatever the magicians say.
Damn it! What are they doing?" Kong Youde just put down the telescope and immediately raised it to his chest again.
Just inside the telescope, another hundred or so people were brought out.
You can tell by looking at their clothes that these are Han Chinese.
