Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 307: Run, Second Senior Brother

In view of the fact that a large number of landmines were buried outside Yanzhou Prefecture, Li Cunming decided to follow the example of the ancients and use the Fire Bull Array to clear the mines.It's just that now that the people's livelihood is poor, he is unwilling to kill the cattle, so he made a slight modification and used the fire pig formation.

Gong Yonggu said: "I will immediately send Jin Yiwei to buy live pigs in large quantities..."

"Since the Northern Expedition, wherever the army has gone, there are dilapidated cities and ruined villages. The people in the north are suffering from hunger and hunger. How can there be any surplus food to raise pigs?" Xia Wanchun interrupted Gong Yonggu's words.

Gong Yonggu said: "Master Xiao Xia, what do you think should be done?"

"Isn't there a young expert in raising pigs in Xuzhou?" Xia Wanchun laughed.

Li Cunming also said with a smile: "What Xia Wanchun said is right. There are more than 3000 pigs in the Xuzhou pig farm. It is actually much more convenient to transport them to Jining than to buy them everywhere."

"If Zhu Changhao knows that His Majesty is going to drive his pigs to the battlefield, he will cry!" Gong Yonggu laughed, and then said, "I will send Jin Yiwei to Xuzhou south, and try to complete the task within ten days."

While waiting for the arrival of the live pigs, Li Cunming was not idle. He sent troops to conquer Tengxian, Zouxian, Wenshang, Ningyang and other places, and cleared the Qing army around Yanzhou Prefecture, forming an encirclement circle.

Seven days later, Zhu Changhao transported [-] large and small pigs to Jining.Li Cunming asked in surprise, "Why so fast?"

Zhu Changhao said: "I received the decree from Jin Yiwei and heard that His Majesty urgently needs these pigs. I dare not delay for a moment. Fortunately, Xuzhou is not far from Jining, and there are cement roads and canals. It is convenient to go by land and water. Your Majesty, I have sent all the pigs from the pig farm, I wonder what you can use them for?"

It seems that Jin Yiwei didn't tell the truth, Li Cunming smiled and said: "It's very useful, you will understand it in a few days."

Two days later, the Ming army shrunk the encirclement, and one hundred thousand troops surrounded Yanzhou Fucheng and stationed ten miles away.

Zhu Changhao followed in the army. When he saw the soldiers leading pigs to the front of the battle, and tied thatch and firecrackers to the tails of the pigs, and poured oil on the pigs, he wondered: "Your Majesty, what is this for?"

Li Cunming pointed to these pigs and said: "I want to send them to the battlefield, they are not pigs now, they are warriors of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ah, pigs can still fight?" Zhu Changhao was at a loss.

……

But it shows that the army is besieging the city, Liu Qingfeng has got the news, and hastily came to the city wall to have a look.

The generals around him saw the huge momentum of the Ming army and stammered: "The Ming army... The Ming army has come with at least 10 people. Can we defend... can we hold it?"

Liu Qingfeng was originally a craftsman. He used his eyes excessively and his eyes were highly myopic. His eyes were narrowed into a slit, and he looked at the Ming army camp and said: "I have planted so many mines outside the city, which is equivalent to [-] elite soldiers, so don't worry! "

The general was still confused, and said: "Prefect Liu, I heard that Chongzhen is also an expert in using landmines, and he is resourceful. Will he really be caught by our minefields?"

"Are you questioning me?" Liu Qingfeng turned his head to stare at the general, and said with a contemptuous smile, "When I used to make firearms with Mr. Sun Yuanhua, Chongzhen had just been emperor for a few years. When it came to using landmines, I said that I was the number one in the world." Two, absolutely no one dares to claim number one!"

Then he remembered many past events and babbled: "It's a pity that Sun Yuanhua, a talented firearms expert, let Chongzhen kill him. He destroyed the Great Wall! Chongzhen was a headstrong person with a capricious temperament. He didn't know how to cherish talents. I can only follow Kong Youde and submit to the Qing Dynasty...Hey, the past is still vivid in my mind, is it right or wrong?"

Immediately, he calmed down and urged the general: "What are you still doing in a daze? Order to defend the city!"

The Qing soldiers got busy and began to prepare for the battle.Thousands of people ran out from the four city gates and ambushed by the side of the road. It turned out that most of the landmines Liu Qingfeng buried outside the city were pull-type and stirring-type mines, which required manual operation, and machine-fired mines accounted for only a small number.

But Liu Qingfeng is very confident. He believes that if the Ming army wants to break through the minefields, tens of thousands of people must be killed or injured.Therefore, even though he faced the powerful Ming army, he didn't take it seriously, and was even very excited, impatient to see the scene of the mine exploding.

A quarter of an hour later, someone came to report: "My lord, the Ming army did not know what kind of tricks they were playing, and they have not attacked. The soldiers guarding the west gate said they heard a sound of pigs. Would you like to go and have a look?"

"The sound of a pig?" Liu Qingfeng, the Second Monk Zhang, couldn't figure it out, and walked away.

When I came to the tower of the West City Gate, I did hear the pig squawking vaguely.Liu Qingfeng stroked his beard and asked, "That's weird, is the Ming army killing pigs?"

At this moment, a soldier shouted: "Look, look, my God, a lot of fat pigs are rushing towards the city gate!"

Then I heard bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang Forward.

The sharp-eyed person shouted: "These pig tails are tied with burning thatch, and there are firecrackers... Oh, the Ming army used this method to clear mines!"

Liu Qingfeng suddenly felt blood rushing to his forehead, his head hurt, his hands and feet were cold, and he almost fell off the city wall.Fortunately, the people around him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed his belt.

"Chongzhen, you should send soldiers to the battlefield instead of using a herd of pigs to cheat and attack you. You don't talk about martial ethics, so you can do it yourself!" Liu Qingfeng shouted wildly.

……

In the camp of the Ming army, it was a different scene.

The soldiers saw that pigs were constantly being bombed, some fell to the ground convulsing and howling, some were bloody, some had their stomachs ripped apart, some flew into the air with severed limbs, and many more were on fire and continued to move forward. rush.

Zhu Changhao was about to rush out while crying: "My pig, my pig..."

Gong Yonggu hugged Zhu Changhao by the waist, and laughed loudly: "Fried well, fried well, after the war, you can eat meat directly!"

Xia Wanchun said with a serious face: "If His Majesty hadn't thought of this plan, our army would have suffered heavy losses. This Liu Qingfeng is really capable!"

Li Cunming smiled contemptuously and said: "He has a fart ability, just putting on airs! Did you see that most of the landmines planted by Liu Qingfeng are pull hair type, and soldiers are required to operate them. Compared with my steel wheel fire mines Not far."

Speaking of this, Li Cunming shouted: "Weng Zhiqi listened to the order and sent cavalry to cover up and kill the Qing soldiers who were ambushing outside the city first, so as to prevent them from setting off the mines."

Weng Zhiqi hastily mobilized [-] cavalrymen, followed behind the herd of pigs, and after rushing for a few miles, opened fire crackling, hitting the Qing soldiers outside the city and fleeing with their heads in their arms.

Li Cunming observed the situation on the battlefield, he was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Run, second senior brother!"

"My pig, my pig, the pig that I have worked so hard to raise, the pig that has been brought up by a handful of feces and urine..." Zhu Changhao cried and cried, his heart broken.

When all the more than 3000 pigs fell, Weng Zhiqi's cavalry rushed into the west gate, followed by infantry into the city.An hour later, the city of Yanzhou was destroyed, and the battle was over.

Gong Yonggu said: "Your Majesty, I will first command the soldiers to clear the mines. You will not enter the city until the danger is gone."

Li Cunming nodded, looked at Zhu Changhao who was crying into tears, and said with a smile: "I can't tell, you have feelings for these pigs. Zhu Changhao, you have made a great contribution. I promoted you to a hundred households, and I will continue to work hard for you in the future." Raising pigs."

"Your Majesty, I have a request, don't let the soldiers eat these pigs, okay?" Zhu Changhao knelt down and spoke sincerely.

"Don't eat, don't eat, these pigs have made military exploits, why would I order them to be eaten? Come on, bury the remains of these pigs and erect a monument!" Li Cunming said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Changhao kowtowed and cried again, "I am so grateful for Your Majesty's great kindness! Pigs, pigs, you have to meet the Holy King, you can rest in peace, you will always live in my heart , I will always remember your voices and smiles..."

Li Cunming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought to himself that everyone in Zhu's family was a little nervous.
