Chapter 34 Fire!

Although Ming Xing promised that as long as he could capture Mengyin County, he would be considered the first success, but Chen Tailin did not feel the slightest excitement or excitement. Instead, he especially wanted to kill this bastard Ming Xing with a knife.

There are no artillery or large-scale siege equipment. Are you going to knock Mengyin County away with my head?

Chen Tailai was cursing in his mind as he walked up to the three thousand river soldiers under the jurisdiction of his river governor.

With such a useless boss, only these three thousand soldiers could give Chen Tai a little warmth.

Chen Tailai coughed and shouted loudly: "Listen up, all of you! I understand that it is not easy for you and me to wait, so I specially fought for you and me to take the lead in front of Mr. Futai!"

"Whoever is the first to invade Mengyin County will be promoted to one level! Whoever can be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Whoever can cut off the head of the rebel leader will be promoted to three levels! Whoever can be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! Whoever can capture or beheaded

The bandit leader Zhu Xiaosong will not only be promoted to the third level, but also be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

When they heard that they were promoted to one rank and received a reward of one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, Chen Tailai's Sanqianhe soldiers immediately became energetic. Each of the listless soldiers immediately clenched the swords and guns in their hands. They originally thought of muddling through.

They were even thrown out of the blue by these soldiers.

Chen Tailai looked at the soldiers who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. He first thought to himself that money and silk really moved people's hearts. Then he straightened his face and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here! Beat the drum and cheer!"

The drums sounded, and the Sanqianhe pacesetters under Chen Tailai screamed and charged towards the city gate of Mengyin County.

Seeing that his military morale was ready, Chen Tailai couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. Even the heartache he felt when the silver reward was just announced has eased so much.

Although there are no siege equipment such as ladders, Mengyin County is not a military stronghold. How could an ordinary small county town resist these three thousand soldiers?

That's right, they are actual three thousand soldiers. After all, Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, has already promised that as long as Zhu Xiaosong, the rebel bandit, can be killed this time, all the bad things like eating empty wages and drinking soldiers' blood will be forgotten. Chen Tailai naturally

I took this opportunity to replenish all the troops.

What? We still have to spend money to support these three thousand soldiers in the future? Then after Zhu Ni is defeated, can't we just eliminate some of the old, weak, sick and disabled? It's just basic training, not six.

Chen Tailai feels that this wave must be stable.

On the top of the city, Zhu Xiaosong looked at the Three Thousand River Marker rushing out of the black waves, feeling like he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Mengyin County is indeed not a military hub, and it is indeed impossible for an ordinary small county to have weapons such as red cannons to defend the city, or even powerful crossbows and hard bows.

In a small county like this, three thousand soldiers can open the city gate even if they are piled up hard.

This is also a common situation in counties except for some military fortresses defended by Tatars. After all, in our Qing Dynasty, only uncles can be regarded as human beings. What kind of red cannons, strong bows and crossbows should be equipped with the city where the slaves gather to live? You

Don't let me, otherwise the Tatar gentlemen can sleep peacefully!

But Zhu Xiaosong never thought of relying on red cannons or other gadgets to defend the city.

After all, from Kang Mazi to the money-deaf old dog to the poor-eating old woman, generations of Tatar emperors have strictly guarded against firearms. Although they have stabilized the rule of the slaves to a certain extent, they have also

As a result, Lvying did not have many firearms available.

Even though a few thousand grenades are not enough to make any infantry trying to storm the city gate bury themselves under the city wall, it is still very easy to block these three thousand soldiers.

Therefore, Zhu Xiaosong wanted to laugh because Chen Tailai, the governor of the river, was so stupid and naive that he actually wanted to build up the gate of Mengyin County with only three thousand people.

I couldn’t laugh because the three thousand soldiers below who were trying to block the city gate were all in the same mess as Zhu Xiaosong.

Zhu Xiaosong had a sullen face, and after calming down, he warned Zhu Laoer: "Be careful, put them at the city gate before blowing them up, and save your grenades, don't blow them up."

"

Zhu Erdan weighed the black and thick grenade in his hand, and said with a hum, "Don't worry, brother, I know what's going on."

While they were talking, the three thousand soldiers under the city had already rushed to the city gate not far away. Standing on the top of the city, you could already see the ferocious look on the faces of these soldiers.

Zhu Xiaosong couldn't help but cursed: "The Tatars are like dogs!"

Zhu Xiaosong's curse became the signal to start the war, and grenades with smoking butts rushed to fly towards the Sanqianhe pacesetters below the city.

The hand grenade made by Meng Lianggu was improved compared to the previous one made by Yuhuang Mountain. Originally, the hand grenade made by Yuhuang Mountain still needed to be put on the fuse with a fire stick to light it before throwing it out. However, with the addition of the master craftsmen from the palace, Meng Lianggu's version

The grenade has been changed to a string-pulling type and no longer requires a fire break.

Although it is only a small change whether or not the fire key is needed, this small change is enough to increase the throwing speed and no longer be as afraid of wind and rain as before.

Of course, the power is still the same. When you are unlucky, you can only hide it in the face. Even the detonation time is not completely standardized.

Therefore, the grenades thrown out by Zhu Erdan's men still exploded first and then exploded, some exploded in the air on top of the heads of the Hebiao soldiers, and some still exploded after landing on the ground.

In addition, these river sign soldiers were swarming around the city gate, which made the grenade even more powerful. After killing and wounding dozens of river sign soldiers, the remaining soldiers

He was so frightened that he ran away.

What a damn promotion to one or three levels, or a hundred and twenty-two thousand taels, no matter how nice the official uniforms are, and how fragrant the money is, how can it be as valuable as my own life?

Besides, how much money did Chen Tailai give him? It would be great if everyone could follow him all the way to Mengyin!

In addition, Chen Tailai, an idiot like me, has not yet set up a supervising team, and everyone is running back in a swarm. How can he punish them one by one?

The law does not blame everyone!

On the top of the city, Zhu Xiaosong, who had always been well-informed, was dumbfounded - although we did not treat the Hebiao soldiers as the Seventy-Fourth Division, were they even worse than the Seventh Division?

Chen Tailai at the foot of the city even turned green.

What did you just say? Whoever is the first to invade Mengyin County will be promoted to a higher rank and be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver?

Now it seems like this is just a big fucking joke, right?

Mingxing, the governor of Shandong who was supervising the battle in the rear, stroked his beard and smiled.

The unfavorable first battle was originally expected, otherwise the first opportunity to attack the city would not have fallen to Chen Tailai.

Now that Chen Tailai's soldiers have returned in defeat, it will be easier to control Chen Tailai in the future.

As for the dozens of soldiers wailing at the city gate...

Looking at the grenades that were gradually becoming sparse on the city wall, Mingxing smiled again, waved to his subordinates, General Fubiao and General Manchuria Infantry Armor, and said seriously: "Hebiao's army has lost its morale, and now it's time again."

When the rebels at the top of the city are proud, you two quickly mobilize your troops to attack the city. After the city is defeated, you will not seal the sword for three days!"

General Fubiao accepted the offer, but General Manchuria licked his lips and asked with a smile: "Don't you need to live?"

Ming Xing hummed and said, "No need, everything in the city belongs to you. I only want Zhu Ni's head."

The Manchurian infantry general nodded, and immediately greeted the infantry soldiers behind him: "Come here! Follow me and charge!"

After speaking, General Manzhou Bujia and General Fubiao took the lead and walked towards Mengyin County.

Chen Tailai, who had just gathered up the defeated troops in the distance, secretly resented Mingxing for treating him as cannon fodder. Seeing the Manchu Infantry General and Fubiao General so carelessly heading towards Mengyin County, he felt even more resentful.

At the same time, I couldn't help but want to see how this infantry general died.

However, what happened next made Chen Tailai almost spit out a mouthful of blood - the Eight Banners Infantry Soldiers under the Manchu Infantry General and the Fubiao Soldiers under the Fubiao General raised their shields at almost the same time, and after two steps, they

Then he blocked the Manchu Infantry General and Fubiao General under the shield!

After the Manzhou infantry and Fubiao soldiers were dispatched, Mingxing simply sent out 8,000 soldiers from the Green Battalion and more than 10,000 patrol soldiers mobilized by several prefecture horses, because he had been "familiar with the army since childhood"

Mingxing, who read Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Stratagems, believed that increasing troops in echelons would constantly give the city defenders a chance to breathe. If the army directly pressed in, it would be able to defeat the defenders' psychological defenses in the shortest possible time.

But this scene made Chen Tailai even more miserable.

Mingxing, that bastard, didn't equip Lao Tzu's Hebiao with a shield, and didn't remind himself in advance. Instead, he let the Manchurian infantry and Fubiao soldiers all be equipped with shields? Damn it! The Manchurian infantry can be regarded as the master after all.

, what do those brats in Fubiao do? And those bastard brats in Green Camp, why do I have to be cannon fodder to lead the charge, so they can follow behind Uncle Man and take advantage?

Chen Tailai, who was almost angry to death, was like a concubine who failed in the fight for favor. He looked at the Manchu infantry, Fubiao soldiers and 8,000 green battalion soldiers with half-hearted thoughts, wishing that Zhu Xiaosong would blow them all up right now!

Chen Tailai was even worried about whether the grenades in Zhu Xiaosong's hand were enough.

Of course Zhu Xiaosong will not let Chen Tailai down.

As a young man with four beauties and five talents who grew up under the red flag, Zhu Xiaosong has always liked to help others. The reason why Chen Tailai's wish was not fulfilled immediately was because Zhu Xiaosong was thinking about a problem.

Send people to test a wave and then directly attack with the army. What kind of strategy is this? Sun Tzu's Art of War? Thirty-six Strategies? Or was it created by Mingxing himself? Is Mingxing so confident that he can defeat him in one wave?

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Mingxing's style of play was. Zhu Xiaosong simply stopped thinking about it. Instead, he turned his attention to Zhu Laoer and ordered: "Light the fire!"

Zhu Erdan hummed, took out the fire stick from his arms and lit a fire stick in front of him.

This twister is not an ordinary twister. Youdao was once refined in Laojun's furnace. Yuanshi Tianzun gently shook the fan to reverse the wind, fire and yin and yang. Today, he became famous in front of the battle!

This twister was tied with dozens of twisters of the same thickness. In the light of the fire, the twisters ignited by Zhu Erdan ignited the dozens of tied twisters. Then these twisters sparkled with green smoke, and followed each one.

Thin wooden strips stretched all the way to the bottom of the city wall, and then burned towards the Tatar soldiers.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions sounded one after another. Whether it was the Manchu infantry and Fubiao soldiers holding shields, or the Green Camp soldiers and patrolling soldiers following them, they were all blown up by the land mines created by Zhu Xiaosong.

The man turned his back on his horse.

However, Zhu Xiaosong was not very satisfied with the effect of the explosion. He shook his head and said: "Using mines alone is still a bit inferior. It would be better if there are divine machine arrows to cooperate."

Zhu Xiaosong was never satisfied with the power of land mines, so he was obsessed with making magic arrows. The magic arrows are not made of sticks! They are a type of firearm recorded in the "Weapon History" written by Mao Yuanyi of the Ming Dynasty! There is a grandmother abroad.

This thing has been verified!

Seeing Zhu Xiaosong's disgusted look, Zhu Erdan, Ke Zhiming and others, who had been shocked for a long time, looked at Zhu Xiaosong stupidly.

Isn’t this enough? Add in the divine machine arrow?

Zhu Erdan really wanted to ask Zhu Xiaosong if he didn't eat any food but drank wine yesterday, so he was so drunk.

Can Meng Lianggu afford the magic machine arrow? Even the Tatar court can't afford it, okay?
