Chapter 215: The depression of being timid

The north side? That's when Qin Buhua came back. A clever flashed through Zhang Yang's heart. He slowly and organizedly said to Li Huafu: "Brother Huafu, didn't you just say that we are the clowns who were all trampled to death in front of the army of ***?"

"Of course, this time it's just empty in Taizhou City. After General Qibuhua comes back, you will all be destroyed!" Li Huafu said.

"What if we eliminate the timid and Buhua completely?" Zhang Yang asked.

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"There is nothing impossible. We are all Han people. Instead, you believe in *** people so much? What benefits did *** people give you?" Zhang Yang was really surprised. Li Huafu likes *** people so much?

As a court official, Li Huafu knew the strength of the court, and the cavalry charged forward was invincible. Therefore, for these invading rebels, he just thought that the other party was lucky and that the troops in the city were empty. Once Qi Buhua came back, Taizhou City would be re-inherited in the hands of the court. Although he was captured by the rebels, he did not want to surrender. Since ancient times, he received the education of loyalty and righteousness and was unwilling to betray the court.

In fact, he also knew that the reason why he had been everywhere in recent years was not unrelated to the vain imposed by the court. He had been working hard to climb up, hoping to be a good official like Prime Minister Tuotuo and seek benefits for the people. After the baptism of the officialdom, he still maintained his original dream.

"A brutal nation may seize the world, but it will definitely not be able to defend the world. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Brother Hua Fu understands this principle?" When someone walked into the yamen, he came into the yamen. Although it was very cold, he was still shaking the fan. It was Shi Nai'an, and behind him, Luo Guanzhong was following him.

Li Huafu was shocked: A brutal nation may seize the world because it has strong combat power, so it may fight from all directions and be invincible. However, a brutal nation can use barbarism to deal with civilization and force to maintain rule, but it cannot last long. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat. However, how many of those nobles understand this principle? They can conquer the world on the horse, but cannot govern the world on the horse.

"We are in Xinghua and implement equalization of land. Everyone can get their own land and be exempted from three years of taxes. Do you think the people support us or the court that divides the people into four classes?" Shi Nai'an continued.

Li Huafu was speechless, he knew all this.

"But, can you resist the army of the court? Without strong force, how can you protect the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment? Look at the Grand Tuotuo, a few months ago, he attacked Xuzhou occupied by Sesame Li and slaughtered all the people. Isn't you harming these people doing this?" Li Huafu argued.

"Can we resist the Tartars? Nothing to say anything. Come, please ask Brother Hua Fu to the North City Gate!" Zhang Yang said.

Immediately, the two of them came up and took Li Huafu out.

"Mr. Shi, you are here for the time being, restore order here as soon as possible, and promote our slogans." Zhang Yang continued to say to Shi Nai'an.

"Please don't worry, lord, the order in Taizhou City will settle down soon."

"Also, classify the prisoners detained in the state jail, execute all the vicious criminals, and let go of the poor villagers who were wrongly arrested." Zhang Yang said.

Releasing these people is also a silent propaganda and a means to gain the support of the people of Taizhou.

Qi Buhua is very angry.

Since leaving Taizhou City, I have been knocking cold sticks from behind for no reason. Although it is not very painful to beat, the frequency is very high, just like a piece of candy. I can't shake it off, but I want to kill it, but I can't catch the other party. Moreover, the other party has the advantage of weapons, and always runs away when he fights. If he doesn't chase him, he will come over to tease him. If he sends someone to chase him, he will be lured away and then eaten. In this way, after an afternoon, all the cavalry troops were not out of the Taizhou realm!

Staying in Wangzhuang Village at night, throwing away the troubles of the day, Qibuhua's heart gradually had some clear ideas. Where did this small team come from? What is their purpose? Such a small army has no ability to compete with itself, and its number will not exceed one hundred people. But with the advantage of firearms, they have repeatedly taken advantage of themselves. What do they want to do? Swallow themselves? It is impossible, otherwise, the other party's commander is definitely a lunatic. Then, their purpose is only: to delay their actions.

Why delay? Just think about your purpose. This time I went to attack the salt field occupied by the thieves. As soon as I left Taizhou City, I was attacked by this small group of troops, trying to delay my actions and give the thieves in the salt field more time to prepare.

In other words, the thieves in the salt field have very empty troops and there are not many people on the other side. Maybe this unit is the elite thieves. How many thieves can there be in the salt field? Take them all by one charge.

He made up his mind and set off immediately after dawn, ignoring the attack of this annoying squad. The damage it caused to himself was minimal. He only needed to do one thing: strike quickly and beat all the thieves in the salt field in one fell swoop!

The next day, Shi Wenzhuan discovered that his tactics were no longer effective.

The advantage of the Tartars was that they grew up on horseback and had first-class horse control skills. All the soldiers brought by Qinbuhua were elite soldiers. Even the new affiliated army could keep up with the *** army. They left three hundred-man teams to guard the food and grass behind them, and moved forward slowly. The rest, shook off the horse's hooves and ran wildly.

Shi Wenbing tried to attack the guards behind, but the large troops in front did not respond at all. Judging from the situation, the bait left behind was specially given to Shi Wenbing for free.

Shi Wenbing had no time to attack the back, so what if he burned the Tartars' food and grass? They didn't feel sorry for each other, but they didn't respond! He led the team to run and chase the large army in front, and whipped countless horse whips before he caught up with the main force of Qibuhua.

On the galloping horse, if you want to shoot the cavalry in front, it is still difficult for the officers and soldiers of the second team of the base camp. They shoot from a distance, and the effect is not good. Occasionally, Tartars fall off the horse, but other Tartars seem to have not seen it, and they still run on horseback, not paying attention to the handle of Shi Wen!

It's like a mosquito flying around on the head of a person with tender skin and tender skin. He wanted to catch it, but he couldn't catch it. He was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. However, if the skin is thick and thick, he would ignore the mosquito at all. If he wants to bite it, he would bite it! No matter how powerful the mosquito is, it wouldn't kill people.

Shi Wenzhu is this mosquito, but it is timid and not flowery. Yesterday it was fine and tender flesh, and I couldn't bear to shed some blood. Today it was rough and thick skin. I let it go. If you want to bite, just bite it, don't be afraid.

Shi Wenzhu gradually became anxious. His number was too small. If there were a thousand people, he would dare to confront the Tartars head-on. One to ten, he would have absolutely certainty to kill all the Tartars. However, now there are only one hundred people. Once this harassing tactic is ineffective and head-on, even if it is still one to ten, he would have to kill one thousand Tartars. He would not be able to fight to the point of consumption!

There was no other way, Shi Wenbing led the team to follow the Tatar cavalry, watching the Tatars cross the Taizhou border and enter Xinghua, getting closer and closer to the salt field.

Qin Buhua looked at the small army that followed far behind but did not dare to rush up. His heart stretched out. He had to use this method to deal with this harassment!

However, the speeding horses cannot last. In the north, each cavalry will have two horses, which can march continuously, or even replace horses on running horses, which is like an acrobatic.

In this Jiangnan water town, there are waterways everywhere, and there are fewer opportunities to use horses, so the navy is more adaptable than the cavalry. For example, when moving forward, it is a river. Cavalry of ten thousand people must be from a wooden bridge that can only accommodate two cavalry in parallel.

The galloping horses stopped just now, and ten thousand people crossed the wooden bridge and immediately became crowded.

Shi Wenge breathed a sigh of relief. Here, he could also snipe the Tartars. He looked at the cavalry that rushed towards the wooden bridge like a tide and used yesterday's tactics again. However, he felt like he was flying into a fire, and he could not stop the Tartars' cavalry at all. Once they all crossed the river, they could run directly to the salt field and bring an extinct blow to the guards of the salt field.

Here we will fight all our 100-man team? He can't do this. This is the second 100-man musket team built by the eldest brother, and every soldier is very precious.

Blow out the wooden bridge? Now it is based on the advantage of the range of the Tianque gun. If you want to get close to the distance from throwing grenades, then all the people will be exposed to the range of the Tartars' bows and arrows. The rain of arrows flew over the sky, and few of these hundreds of dozen brothers will survive.

The sound of "bang, bang" muskets sounded from time to time, and soldiers were shot and dismounted from time to time among the Tartar cavalry, but the rest of the soldiers seemed to have not seen it. They were just passing through the bridge as soon as possible, preparing to vent all the anger that had been suppressed in the past two days on the salt field that was about to attack.

At this moment, several horses were galloping from afar, and the horse was foaming at the mouth, but the people on the horse were still whipping the horse without hesitation, without sympathizing with the horse's physical strength.

"General Qibing Bull, General Qibing Bull! Please stop the march and return to Taizhou quickly!" The horseman saw the cavalry crossing the river and immediately shouted from afar.

When Shi Wenbing saw these uninvited guests, his eyes finally lit up: "Our mission has been completed, now, we will retreat quickly!"

When he drove closer, Qin Buhua finally saw clearly that the person who was speeding was Zhao Lian, the governor of the province. He no longer had his former style, his eyes were full of frustration and his hair was scattered.

"Sir Zhao, why are you so panicked?" Qin Buhua asked, his tone of joking.

"General Qi Buhua, Taizhou City has been broken by rebels. Taking advantage of the fact that the rebels are not stable, please lead the team back to the rescue quickly." Zhao Lian said.

What? Taizhou City was broken by thieves? Qin Buhua couldn't believe his ears. The tall city of Taizhou, even the red scarf of Haozhou, was not afraid of it. "Where are thieves?"

"It's the rebels in Xinghua, Zhang Shicheng." Zhao Lian said: "Please order General Qinbuhua to return to help quickly!"

Qin Buhua was a little unwilling to accept that he had already arrived at the salt field. After crossing the river, he could reach the salt field in almost half an hour. However, the thief in the salt field actually ran to attack Taizhou City and defeated Taizhou City. It would be easy to knock down the salt field, but what is the effect? ​​Taizhou has been lost.

"My unit is all cavalry, and the opponent has already attacked Taizhou. I'm afraid it's a lot of difficulty for me to take it back, and it's much more difficult than fighting a salt field." Qiebuhua said.

"It is precisely because of this that we have to be as soon as possible. Now that the North City Gate has collapsed, the cavalry can rush in directly. If the city wall is repaired by the thief in two days, and the attack will probably not be easy." Zhao Lian said.

The north city gate has collapsed? I was happy in my eyes: "Order, the back team will become the front team, and return to the rescue quickly!"

Thousands of troops squeezed across the single-plank bridge, and now they have to squeeze back. They all know that Taizhou City has been broken by rebels. Now, they have to go back to take back Taizhou City. Thinking that the woman they just stolen was cheaper for this group of rebels, the cavalry wanted to return to Taizhou City quickly and drive the rebels out.

Shi Wenzhuo was quick to beat and finally returned to Taizhou City first.

The collapsed city gate hole of the north city gate had not yet been repaired, so Zhang Yang just ordered the soldiers to quickly lay out tripping ropes and studs here. If the Taurus cavalry really rushed here, then Taizhou City would definitely be lost. He arranged all the musketeers in the base camp to both sides of the city gate. Now, with Shi Wenzhu leading the team back, his confidence would be very great.

In the Killing Port, you have successful experience in sniping the Tartar cavalry. This time, you are naturally using the same trick again.

"Brother Huafu, wait and see. The powerful Tartar cavalry in your eyes will disappear vulnerable in your eyes." Zhang Yang said to Li Huafu's arms were still tied and they were beaten up in a while. Who knows if he would seek death and take the opportunity to escape.

"Check weapons, load ammunition, and win with rapid fire in a while." Zhang Yang ordered.

The soldiers had already loaded up ammunition and the gun barrels had been cleaned up. It would be a good opportunity to slaughter the Tartar cavalry in a while. They didn't want to lose their chains at critical moments.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar. A team of black cavalrymen rushed up in a grand manner.

Li Huafu closed his eyes. In a while, the cavalry was about to attack. The city wall had collapsed. The cavalry came in in a grand manner and then chopped the thieves around him into meat paste.

At the front were three 100-man teams of Tartars who were guarding food and grass. They received the order, gave up the food and grass, and rushed to catch Taizhou City as soon as possible. The cavalry that had crossed the river was about to slow down and still rushed backwards.

As we got closer and closer, we seemed to be able to see the cavalry rushing in front, waving the saber in our hands, with such a ferocious face.

"Shoot!" Zhang Yang ordered loudly.

"Bang, bang." More than 200 muskets were angry at the same time, and with hatred towards the Tartars, they rushed towards the speeding cavalry.

When they heard this sound, they were immediately shocked. They were so familiar with this sound in the past two days. Every time they heard this sound, they were accompanied by their companions' fall. Now, the sounds they heard are so dense that they are simply the call of hell!

The dozens of people rushing in front immediately fell off the horse and were trampled into meat paste by the cavalry that followed.

The musketeers have long been accustomed to this kind of scene. They calmly tweak the pull rod on it, load ammunition, aim, shoot, and repeat the actions just now. They are as calm as a single-celled creature.

Li Huafu was shocked. The cavalry who was so aggressive just now, how could it become so fragile when it came to the sight?

Rows of cavalry fell down, as if they were harvesting crops.

However, the cavalry did not retreat. When they heard this voice, they knew that the villain who had been secretly plotting behind the scenes for the past two days was in the same group as the people in front of them. They had only one idea, rushed up and killed them!

The soldiers in the back row have already begun to bend their bows and arrows.

"Swoosh, swosh." The arrows were raining and had not reached the range. Most of the arrows fell into the moat, and a small number of them fell on the top of the city.

Although they were close to the wall, some soldiers were shot in arrows. They didn't say a word and were still holding Tianque guns, shooting, shooting! Kill the Tartars!

The cavalrymen went crazy regardless of the casualties. No matter how many corpses were stepped on under the horse's hooves, they gradually approached the city head in the rain of bullets. The ground had become soft and blood soaked a few inches of the ground.

"Prepare to throw a grenade!"

The long-range relies on the Tianque gun and the medium-range relies on the grenade. If you get closer, you can only use the spearman.

The soldiers lit the grenade twists, condescending from the top of the city, and threw them out.

These cavalry had never tasted the grenades, and they didn't pay much attention to what had fallen around them with smoke. They didn't hit themselves. The stone was too small!

"Boom, boom!" A huge explosion came, and the air waves pushed the musketman on the top of the city to tremble.

After this round of grenades, no living creature existed within dozens of steps at the top of the city, and they were all fried to pieces.

Qin Buhua bit his lips and bleeding. If Zhao Lian was not a few levels older than his official position, he would have wished to strangle Zhao Lian to death. The north city gate was broken. This was a trap. If he hadn't seen a breakthrough here, he would not have used cavalry to fill this pit. Now, the team has lost 30%, and they are all his most elite troops. They have disappeared under the city of Taizhou for some reason!

"General Qi Buhua, hold on for a while, we will rush in soon, and the defenders can no longer resist!" Zhao Lian said from the side.

Siege is a test of the will of both sides. If one side cannot hold on first, it will be defeated. He believes that the rebels who defend the city will definitely not be able to resist it.

Of course, Zhao Lian also has another purpose. If he regained Taizhou City, he would explain to the province. Otherwise, if he returned to Yangzhou, he would have big trouble.

How could I not know that Qi Buhua? Anyway, you ordered me to attack the salt field first and dispatched elite troops. Taizhou's troops were empty, and the rebels took advantage of the loopholes and attacked in. I was almost at the salt field. I ordered me to return to the rescue and sent my death to death. I will no longer be the sucker!

"Appoint, immediately withdraw troops to the west and ask for help from Yangzhou!" Qinbuhua gave the order.
Chapter completed!
