The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 73 Guide House Discussion

On the official road, three horses and a carriage walked slowly. The woods on the roadside were thickly overgrown with weeds, and the bodies of some dead exiles smelled.

In front of a steed sat a very burly and resolute man, with a big knife in his hand, an arrow pot on his back and a bow and arrow on his back, and a dagger on his leg.

Behind him was a dilapidated carriage, and the chariot was still a young man riding a carriage on a steed horse. He was as burly as the first man, and he had a lot of weapons.

I don't know what's sitting in the carriage. The whole carriage is covered, and nothing can be seen from the outside.

Behind the carriage is two men riding horses, who are always vigilant to protect the carriage.

At this time, a pleasant voice came from the carriage, saying, "Little general, where are you now?"

The man in the carriage said, "Now that we have arrived in the territory of Guide Mansion, we are only half a day away from reaching the Guide Mansion. We have heard the heroic deeds of the general all the way these days. We have long wanted to go back and follow the general to fight. Now my hands are itchy."

The woman in the carriage asked again, "You, what kind of person is your general?"

The man driving the carriage suddenly looked arrogant and said, "It's not for the young lady. If other people are really not familiar with the general, I have followed the general from the beginning. I know what the general likes to eat and what the general likes to wear. I know everything. Our general is really a great hero and a powerful figure. When we were in Yangzhou City, we were already a defeated army and were about to be wiped out by the Tatari. Everyone was disheartened and waiting for the arrival of the slaughter knife of the Tats.

But the general was different. When he woke up, he immediately rectified the people and horses to kill the enemy everywhere in Yangzhou City. At the same time, he also collected the separated brothers. However, in a few days, the general collected an army of thousands of people, and sneaked out of Yangzhou City overnight to burn the food and grass of the Qing army. The horses were robbed, and he also one of the most powerful people in the Taran. Dorduo was defeated.

Who in the world can compare with generals now? Which one was not driven away by the tally? Now the general is moving towards the north, capturing the Guide Mansion and beating the Tatar with a big face. Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved.

The woman in the carriage smiled and said, "The little woman just asked how your general's people were, but you told the little woman so many things. However, from these deeds, your general is indeed a great hero and a powerful figure. It seems that you admire your general very much.

The man smiled and said, "That's right. Our general is the goal of my study. In the future, I will also fight for the general and become the general's right-hand man."

"Haha" At this time, the man in the front smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, don't think so far. You'd better make achievements step by step and practice your own martial arts so that you can become a general. Now our general has become a lord, and his status has increased by another point. Maybe the general will be even higher in the future. You need to work hard.

Xiao Wu on the carriage smiled and said, "Uncle Li, wait. I will definitely become the general's right arm and become a general."

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, the other three big men laughed at the same time.

The four men here are the four scouts who pick up Bian Min, and the woman sitting in the carriage is Bian Min, Bian Yujing's sister.

Walking all the way from Nanjing City, I didn't encounter much harassment along the way. After all, these four scouts are not idle. Those people dare not approach these four big men who are tall, fat and round.

Now, the trip for a few days is almost to Guide Mansion. The four scouts are very excited, and Bian Min in the carriage is even more excited.

The tasks of the four scouts are about to be completed, and in the future they can return to their own army to make contributions and fight in the battlefield for their own nation and their own country.

And Bian Min is about to see her sister. After being separated for so many days, Bian Min has long wanted her sister.

Bian Min learned a lot of news from these four scouts, including how Bian Yujing and Liu Xia knew each other and how they developed into today's relationship. Every time Bian Min heard their stories, she felt that it was a heroic beauty.

"My sister has a good home now, but what will my future be like?"

Bian Min is a little sad, or envious of Bian Yujing, but she knows that if she is with her sister in the future, she will definitely not have a good life in the future and can't find a good man to marry.

"Walking further more than 30 miles ahead is Guidefu. This place is now very peaceful. Xiao Wang, please go back and inform your wife that the lady is back, so that she can rest assured."

The big man walking in the front wiped the sweat from his face and said to a big man behind the carriage.

The big Hanno rushed to Guidefu with a sound.

Qing Jun

"The army will set off today. There will be no delay. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

More than 8,000 people said more or less, starting from Beijing City and moving towards Guide Mansion.

Kong Youde has experienced many battles, but this time he did not dare to underestimate Liu Xia. He knew in his heart that although it was not his own reason that Liu Xia defeated him last time, Kong Youde still did not dare to underestimate Liu Xia.

Other generals of the Ming Dynasty were surprised and timid when they heard Dodo's name, and Liu Xia even dared to pull out his teeth. Kong Youde admired him for his courage. Naturally, such a person is not a simple person.

This battle is very important. Kong Youde dare not be careless. If he is defeated this battle, he can't believe how Dorcon deals with him.

Duoduo was defeated and was not punished. That was because Duoduo was Dorgon's own brother. Kong Youde was just a surrendered general. I don't know how many Ming generals like him were. If Dorgon wanted to kill him, he only needed to nod, and Kong Youde's body was separated.

Bai Yitu and Kong Youde ride horses in parallel. Bai Yitu is the head of the eight major protectors of the Qing Dynasty, with infinite strength and strong martial arts. There are thousands of brave people, and it can be said that they are warriors that everyone admires among the tazis.

Bai Yitu naturally will not sell Kong Youde's face, nor will he give Kong Youde a good face. In Bai Yitu's eyes, Kong Youde is a villain. A real man will not surrender. Bai Yitu's eyes are full of contempt.

"I don't know how General Kong plans to defeat Liu Xia this time? I suffered a lot of losses from him last time. Bai Yitu looked at Kong Youde with a proud face.

Kong Youde doesn't know what Bai Yitu means. Although he is a prince and the other party is just a general, after all, Bai Yitu is a charla, a pure charla, and a full-clear warrior. Kong Youde does not dare to offend at present.

Kong Youde said with a smile and said, "According to the news, although there are more than 5,000 people under Liu Xia, less than 3,000 of them can fight. Our troops have a great advantage. This time, it is impossible for Liu Xia to attack us with a strange move. There is no danger to guard in the capital, and there is no hidden place such as mountains and forests. It's a little difficult to ambush. If Liu Xia wants to fight head-on, I have the confidence to destroy it.

"Hahaha" Bai Yitu laughed and said, "General Kong is really confident. It's just that General Kong's victory will make the regent happy. Maybe he will give General Kong some beautiful gold and silver."

Bai Yitu's words made Kong Youde a little angry, but Kong Youde still controlled himself, and finally smiled and stopped talking.

"The army moved forward quickly and arrived at Guidefu as soon as possible."

Guidefu

Liu Xia was still thinking about a strategy with a group of generals at this time.

Liu Xia glanced at Chen Liu and said, "I don't know what you have?"

Chen Liu shook the fan in his hand and said, "General, there are only more than 2,000 troops available in our hands now. It is a little difficult to defeat Kong Youde's 8,000 elites head-on, so we can only win by surprise."

Liu Xia said, "Guide Mansion is in the plain. There is no mountain peak within a hundred miles, and there is no danger to guard."

Liu Xia frowned and began to think about various battles at home and abroad. After all, compared with these people, she has hundreds of years of knowledge. Now the information about the end of the Ming Dynasty in her mind is of little use, and history has quietly changed. Slowly out of the original track, the future will depend on Liu Xia himself.

Landmines? Landmine warfare?

A flash flashed in Liu Xia's mind, yes, landmine.

Landmines are an inexpensive defensive weapon. Explosive firearms buried under the surface or laid on the ground originated in China. When the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty used mines, that is, there was a precedent for using mines a long time ago. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, real mines with mechanical ignition devices appeared. When Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the 1580 Ming Dynasty, was stationed in Jizhou, he made a kind of "steel wheel fire" mine. When the enemy stepped on the rope, the steel wheel rotated sharply with the flint and triggered the mine.

"Chen Liu, let the craftsmen make mines immediately." Liu Xia said excitedly.

As soon as Liu Xia's words fell, the other generals exclaimed, "Landmine!"

Liu Xia smiled and said, "Yes, it's a landmine. Compared with everyone who has heard of landmines, General Qi Jiguang and Qi used mines in those years, causing heavy losses to the enemy. This time, the general put down the mine where the enemy came, waiting for the enemy to enter the minefield. When the damage caused by the mine was heavy, we rushed to kill it, and we would definitely win a big victory.

"General, I've heard of this mine, but I just don't know how to make it. Those craftsmen may not do it," Chen Liu said to Liu Xia with some embarrassment.

Landmines are a good thing, but not everyone knows how to make them.
