The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 38 Enemy Invading 2

"Since they dare to invade us, let them pay a heavy price and let me kill the enemy well!" At the door outside Zhuojiabao, Liu Xia stood on the high platform, wearing iron armor, shining in the morning glow.

Below the high platform are three battalions under Liu Xia, nearly a thousand soldiers from Huben Camp, Wolf Xiao Camp and Lion Camp. Although they are a little ragged in clothes, they are extremely powerful.

"Kill~~~~!!!"

"Wo-hoo~~~"

The soldiers of the three battalions raised their weapons in one hand and kept shouting in their mouths. The exiles near Zhuojiabao have long been driven away by Liu Xia's people, because this place may soon become a battlefield, and no one else can be here anymore.

Liu Xia looked at the soldiers of the third battalion with satisfaction, nodded and shouted, "Do you see?" Liu Xia pointed to the dozens of cauldrons at the gate of Zhuojiabao at this time. Under the cauldron were burning enchanting flames. The soldiers of the logistics team next to the cauldron kept adding ingredients to it. A pig and sheep were slaughtered not far away, and then they removed the hair, dug out the internal organs, and cut the good meat. Then put it in a large pot.

Although these soldiers have just eaten enough food just now, many people still drool when they see this scene.

"Look, there are big pieces of meat, big pieces of delicious food. When you win the war, they also cook all the meat inside. Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat, we will fight!!!"

"Roar~~~"

"I want to eat!!!"

"Battle!!!"

"Oh, ~~~~"

"Drums!"

"Bang~~Bang~~"

The spirit of the soldiers has been mobilized. In ancient times, soldiers are not as good as those in the 21st century. In the contemporary army, they eat well, but in ancient times, it is good to be able to eat enough, let alone meat.

Similarly, every meal that Liu Xia gave the soldiers before was not meat, but just pasta.

Liu Xia is confident that his army can defeat that group of messy coalition forces. The reason why it comes out again is that on the one hand, it can inspire the soldiers to kill the enemy with heart, and on the other hand, there are indeed many pigs and sheep in Zhuojiabao. It is impossible for these pigs and sheep Liu Xia to take away. If they stay, it will also It's quite a waste, so Liu Xia thought that she would just kill them all and improve their lives for the soldiers.

It happened that there was a coalition that wanted to attack Liu Xia today, so Liu Xia came up with such a scene. In fact, even if there is no battle today, Liu Xia will also kill these pigs and sheep.

As soon as Liu Xia waved her hand, the door of Zhuojiabao slowly closed, and the fragrant pot slowly disappeared in front of everyone. Many soldiers stretched out their necks to look at the churning delicious food.

Liu Xia said to Wang Shitou, the captain of the guard beside him, "What about my artillery team?"

Wang Stone said, "General, the artillery team has been following the Guards, and now it is under the stage. Does the general want to see it?"

Liu Xia shook her head and said, "You don't need to look at it. You can tell the captain of the artillery team later and let him take the tiger squat gun to go out with us. That good gunpowder, let him really give full play to the tiger's prestige and hit the enemy fiercely."

"Yes, General."

Since getting the tiger squat gun, Liu Xia has never used the tiger squat gun. This time, Liu Xia wants to see how powerful the tiger squat gun is.

During the Ming Dynasty, the world at that time had basically developed into firearms. Cold weapons were gradually rarely used. Western countries began to use firearms. The development of their firearms had surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it was only a little more at this time. It was easy for the Ming Dynasty to catch up.

However, after the Qing army entered the customs and ruled China, it abolished the muskets developed in the Ming Dynasty and abandoned them. Of course, there is also a reason why the quality of these muskets is too poor, but even if the quality of these firearms is too poor, they can still be built seriously.

But they are not using it at all, so that the firearms that were originally developed were destroyed. From the era of firearms, they returned to the era of cold weapons.

At the same time, the Western firearms continued to develop. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the technological level of the two had been different for hundreds of years.

When Westerners came, the Qing court still used cannons hundreds of years ago. It was ridiculous to think about it. They closed the country and thought they were self-righteous. They did not learn from foreign experience at all, so that the difference in science and technology was getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Treaty of Xinchou was a treaty that humiliated the country one by one, and the Qing government seemed to eat sugar beans one after another, and there was no burden at all.

It is also "guaranteed that the Qing Dynasty does not protect China". This vast Chinese land is not their tartars. It is given to others at will. As long as the northeast and Changbai Mountains are still kept, there will be nothing wrong with their full Qing tars. After all, their land has not been invaded.

As for giving Hong Kong, Taiwan and so on to everyone, there is no pressure. It's not their Qing Dynasty. There is no problem without that part. Anyway, there is still a lot of land they occupy, which is not bad.

But every bit of land was pioneered by our Han ancestors with blood and sweat. In this way, they threw it to others in vain. They were not embarrassed or even happy. After all, they once said, "Measure the material power of China and bear the favor of the country."

As long as they don't shake most of the land they occupy, how about giving things here to those Westerners?

"Master, we will definitely win a complete victory this time. With me, Zhang Qian, those exiles will definitely be killed, hahahaha." I saw a man riding a thin yellow date horse with a stuffy face, a pig's tail braid, and a fat middle-aged man sitting in the carriage with a smile. Master Li, who showed his obscene head, said.

Master Li smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. If the county lieutenant goes there, he will definitely be captured. At that time, the county magistrate will be very happy."

The coalition of the seven large families and the county government officials set out from the paper shop and went all the way to Zhuojiabao. At this time, they did not know that Liu Xia had known about their sending troops. They were still thinking about suddenly attacking those poles and taking advantage of the carelessness of the poles to annihilate them.

This kind of psychology is also normal. After all, in their hearts, the poles are full of thick eyebrows and big eyes, a big scar on their faces, and barbarians carrying a big knife in their hands don't have much brains at all, let alone use scouts to investigate the things around them.

This army of 2,300 people, in addition to the person in charge of the seven families and the county lieutenant Zhang Qian riding a horse, and the master is sitting in a carriage. The others are walking. Only a few of them are riding horses, and the horses they ride are not good horses, but ordinary horses pulling goods. .

It's a little slow to walk on foot, and it takes a lot of time to get up. The paper shop they gathered is more than 30 to 40 miles away from Liu Xia's current location, and it takes one or even two hours to get there.

"This matter was facilitated by the master. At that time, the master will definitely be rewarded by the adults. At that time, don't forget that his brother is." Zhang Qian, the county lieutenant, showed his big yellow teeth, and his fat face, tried to squeeze out a smile and said to Master Li.

Master Li quickly waved his hand and said, "No, this is Mr. Zhang's credit. If there is no Mr. Zhang, there will be no coalition. We have to thank Mr. Zhang for his kindness."

When speaking, Master Li deliberately or unintentionally secretly glanced at the steward of the Zhang family not far away. He hoped that the steward would remember what he had just said and go back and tell Mr. Zhang that if he gets the favor of Mr. Zhang, he will resign from the position of master, and he will happily submit his resignation to the county magistrate. Present.

Zhang Qian, the county lieutenant, as soon as he heard Master Li's words, this old fried dough stick that had been wandering in the officialdom for many years immediately understood what Master Li meant, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Look at my mouth, it should be beaten. Yes, it's all the credit of Mr. Zhang. It's all the credit of Mr. Zhang. If it weren's not for Mr. Zhang, how could we have this opportunity. "

At this time, the housekeeper of the Zhang family rode over and asked Zhang Qian, "How far is it to Zhuojiabao now?"

As soon as Zhang Qian saw that he was from the Zhang family, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's not far, not far. There are less than 30 miles. Follow this road and turn five or six corners to see Zhuojiabao."

............

Liu Dazhuang walked to Liu Xia and said to Liu Xia, "General, I just came to report that those big family members are still 25 miles away from us."

"Well, if you want to touch me, Liu Xia, just let you stand over and lie down and go back." Liu Xia looked at the distance and smiled gerociously.

"Examine it again!"

"General, we might as well concentrate our troops and take the initiative to kill him and kill them." Ma Peng stood aside and said to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia shook her head and said, "If you concentrate your troops, although you can fight them back, you can't annihilate them all without our people in the rear."

"I looked at the surrounding terrain. Although they are all plains, there are many dense forests that can hide hundreds of people. We are all cavalry. We have a great advantage to deal with their infantry. If we simply defeat them, these 300 cavalry will be enough, but it is not so easy to annihilate them all.

I divide the soldiers into three sides, and then copy the three loaves, and be sure to annihilate these family members in one fell swoop.

I, Liu Xia, want them to understand that if you dare to provoke me, Liu Xia, then don't leave alive.

Other people were very dissatisfied with Liu Xia's layout, thinking that this was simply a move. Those who came from the regular army were not, and their combat effectiveness was also very low. Even those familymen did not see blood. Liu Xia even used cavalry to envelop in three parts.

If it is a real army, Liu Xia is right to do so, but these are just some of the family members who originally worked in the farmland, so many generals do not agree with Liu Xia's order.

But as soon as Liu Xia said that just now, the others immediately understood Liu Xia's intention. It turned out that it was completely annihilated, and there was no one left. Thinking of some generals, they felt that their necks were cold.
