Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 54 Poor land, rebellious mob

"Who are you, you dare to shoot me, come out." Zhang Yong immediately ordered the cavalry to surround the grove.

Among the Shandong Rebel Army, some people with better family conditions brought their own horses, and they were the cavalry in the rebel army.

"Brother, should we go out?" A black and thin young man patted the bearded middle-aged man in front of him and asked.

"Of course we can't go out. They are rebels from Shandong, they are from the government. If we go out, they will kill us all."

The person called Big Brother is a local tenant in Yucheng named Bai Wuyi. Since he broke into Henan half a year ago, he has responded to the call and led a group of tenant brothers to kill the landlord and rob the land.

From then on, in the area of ​​Yucheng, he was called the eldest brother by the poor brothers. They farmed the land when they were busy, and practiced martial arts to protect themselves in their spare time.

It was his idea to come here to stop Zhang Yong this time, and he also shot the bow and arrow. The brothers who came with him didn't have that much strength to open the hard bow that was snatched from the landlord's house.

"But what if they set fire to us?" the dark, skinny young man asked again.

"Don't ask, don't ask, I'm flustered when I ask, the officers and soldiers come to our hometown, they will definitely liquidate us, it doesn't matter if we die sooner or later, if we set fire to it, then we will rush out and fight the dog day."

Zhang Yong saw that the people inside did not answer him for a long time, so he said again, "Who are you, come out and say something, we are the army of the imperial court, and we came to Guideqing to rebel against the prince under the order of the crown prince."

"If you don't come out again, you will set fire to the forest. Come and bring over the torches and fuel." Zhang Yong saw that these people were stubborn, so he ordered people to bring the torches, and piled firewood and fuel outside the forest.

After a while, the auxiliary soldiers came up. According to Zhang Yong's words, the firewood was piled outside the forest to form a low wall. In addition, in order to light it faster, many dry tree leaves were also collected and placed on top.

In this way, as long as Zhang Yong gives an order, they can immediately light these things with torches, and the raging black smoke will burn all the trespassers in the forest to death.

"Md, the officers and soldiers are going to burn us to death. Come on, the brothers all rushed out with me. Let's fight them." Bai Wuyi didn't expect that Zhang Yong would come for real, and he had so many manpower that he would burn all of them in a short while. A firewood wall was built.

Bai Wuyi led dozens of ragged peasant-looking brothers who jumped out of the grass. They yelled and used forks, rakes, and even plows in their hands to attack those who were always ready to be set on fire. Their rebels and auxiliary soldiers.

"The infantry retreated, and the bows and arrows were ready." To deal with such crude resisters, who were not even counted as militiamen, there was no need to let the soldiers go up, so Zhang Yong asked the Mongolian horse archers around him to prepare their bows and arrows.

"General, they seem to be just farmers farming, but they have no way to survive, so they took the risk. We might as well let them go and let them go home and farm honestly."

The scouts couldn't bear to see people like Bai Wuyi shot to death by random arrows, so they wanted to persuade Zhang Yong to show mercy.

It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation. Although Zhang Yong and his system soldiers look like ordinary people, their hearts only belong to Zhu Cihong. Naturally, their temperament is similar to Zhu Cihong.

"They picked up their weapons and aimed at us, that is the enemy, let them shoot their arrows." After speaking, Zhang Yong also took out his bow and arrow, aimed at Bai Wuyi, and shot him in the chest.

Bai Wuyi and his group didn't even have a shield in their hands, so they couldn't stop the shooting of these heavy Mongolian bow cavalry.

After a while, all these people fell into a pool of blood, and Bai Wuyi kept spitting blood from his mouth, until he was dying, he was still saying, "Brothers, kill."

Seeing dozens of people lying on the ground with their bodies full of arrows, the volunteer scout understood what war is. This is completely different from the chivalrous warrior he used to be in his hometown in Shandong.

War is bloody, and there is no such thing as seeing the enemy as weak and letting them go.

No matter how weak the enemy is, even if he does not have a decent weapon in his hand, or even bare-handed, as long as the file resists, he must use thunderous means to strike.

After killing these people, Zhang Yong did not do anything to deal with them. He just let the corpses lie on the ground, rotting and growing maggots. He wanted to use these corpses as road signs to warn the world.

Bai Wuyi's spontaneous blocking was just a small episode on Zhang Yong's march. There were too many people like this on the way. They were so desperate for the peasant army that they jumped on Zhang Yong like moths. Unfortunately, even a spark If it can't rise up, it will be extinguished.

Their death couldn't even slow down the footsteps of Zhang Yong's 2 people for a second.

Compared with the people living in the fields and struggling to survive on the land after the war, the officials in Yucheng did not have the courage like Bai Wuyi.

Bai Wuyi dared to stand in the woods and shoot Zhang Yong's face with his bow in front of Wanjun, but the magistrate of Yucheng County appointed by Dashun couldn't even close the gate of the city and wait for reinforcements.

Before the shadow of Zhang Yong and his party were seen, he brought the masters, arresters, archers, knife and pen officials, etc. in the county government to kneel outside the north city gate.

It wasn't until Zhang Yong's horse stopped in front of him and said, "Get up and talk." He brushed the dust off his sleeves, stood up and bent down to answer.

"The general came from afar and recovered Yucheng. It's really gratifying." Yucheng county magistrate cupped his hands and said to Zhang Yong.

"Congratulations, it may not be so. Don't flatter me in Yucheng County. Your skill is not as good as it is when you see the prince in the future. It won't be too late." Zhang Yong said condescendingly.

After hearing Zhang Yong's words, Yucheng County thought that Zhu Cihong wanted to see him, so he quickly said, "Does the prince want to see his minister? When."

"That depends on when His Highness summoned you to Nanzhili. I heard that when the Shun army came, you also knelt down in the east of the city. Today, you staged such a scene again. I really don't know your bones." How long is it?"

Yucheng County never resisted, and surrendered to the enemy who came to attack. Maybe doing so would be good and safe for the thousands of people in the city.

But for him personally, this is a stain that will never be erased in his life, and he will be hated by Da Ming and Da Shun.

Hearing what Zhang Yong said, Yucheng County knew that he had a problem with him, so he quickly explained, "General, I don't want to do this either."

I can only hear him narrate that "Yucheng is located in the east of Henan Province, and has been repeatedly hit by the Yellow River. Since the Wanli period, the people in the territory have often fled to other counties and counties, and then they were invaded by trespassers for more than ten years. All fertile soils have become wilderness."

　I woke up today and came up with two recommendations, and today I want to add more! ┗(▔，▔)┛
