Chapter 8 Gao Jie's Death II
Chapter 6 Pedestrians on a snowy night
Li Chengdong said: "Brothers, you all know the current situation. What happened to us has happened. The imperial court just wanted to use troops and did not express it. But after the victory of the Northern Expedition, it will be the time for you and me to die."
"The Luo family is nothing. After all, our brothers fought for him in the Battle of Xuzhou." Hu Jia said. "General, tell me what to do. All of us will listen to you."
"Yes. If the general has any idea, just tell him."
For a while, the people below were talking a lot and there was a lot of excitement.
Li Chengdong said: "Okay." As soon as Li Chengdong opened his mouth, everyone below him became silent. He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of viciousness, and said: "Since he won't let us have an easy time, I won't let them have an easy time either. If I go against them,
I have already contacted the other side. As long as we change sides, we will be rich and prosperous. Huai'an and Yangzhou can be attacked by us without sealing the sword."
Li Chengdong's words stunned the people below.
To be honest, the Daxia court was pretty good to the soldiers below. At least they paid them on time and never stopped.
Some of the generals in front of them were entrusted by Li Chengdong who had already arranged for them. Some of them were a little shaken and just followed Li Chengdong and shouted slogans. They wanted to fight a real battle with real swords and guns, but they were a little hesitant.
"If you are willing to follow the general, you will rebel against his mother." Hu Jia said loudly.
When Hu Jia shouted, most of the generals followed suit, except for a few who remained silent.
But in this case, silence is a kind of statement. Li Chengdong winked at Li Yuanyin, and Li Yuanyin immediately understood. He waved his hand, and more than a dozen personal guards rushed in and arrested several generals who had not expressed their stance.
Got up.
These generals were shocked. They wanted to say something, but their mouths were silenced by the guards. They could not say anything. Li Yuanyin stepped forward, pulled out a dagger with his backhand, and stabbed the necks of these generals.
Scratch. Blood spurts out. In a moment, a pool of blood emerges from the ground.
After a few "plops", as soon as the guards let go, the corpses fell to the ground.
When Li Chengdong did this, the remaining generals felt a chill on the backs of their necks.
Li Chengdong immediately said: "Please ask Governor Hong to speak for us."
Then one person came out. Although his hair was much whiter and his figure was much older, many people still recognized him as Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou's prestige among the Qin army is actually still higher than that of Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting also served as Hong Chengchou's deputy when he first started. The old people in the Qin army still remember Hong Chengchou. And Gao Jie's army, if it follows the normal rules,
According to legend, he was exactly a subordinate of Hong Chengchou.
This army was previously owned by Shihe Renlong, who was also owned by Hong Cheng
Chou's beloved general.
Although many generals were changed, Hong Chengchou was fundamentally related to these people.
Of course, relationships will fade away if they are not used. Hong Chengchou spent more than half a year working with Li Chengdong, using threats and inducements, and even daring to take risks. Finally, it was time to reap the rewards.
"You all still remember me, Mr. Hong, when I, Mr. Hong, led all the generals to chase the thieves and thieves like a dog. I killed so many of them, and how many of our brothers died in their hands. Now,
Do you just want to bow down to the man named Luo?"
"It was his father who was defeated by us at the beginning."
After Hong Chengchou came out, he just said a few words, and the officer below made up his mind.
"I am willing to follow the supervisor." The people below said in unison.
Li Chengdong felt a little sour in his heart, jealous of Hong Chengchou's prestige, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk about this, so he asked: "Supervisor, we should prepare."
Hong Chengchou smiled lightly and said: "Wait, by this time, the army should set off."
Hong Chengchou's calculation was very accurate. At this time, the Qing army was ready to set off.
Ao Bai took off his three layers of armor and stood naked in the snow. His muscles were arched, his chest hair was spread out, and he looked like a bear from a distance. From a distance, he looked like a brown bear rather than a human being. There were also
There are layers of scars, the longest of which is more than a foot long.
It makes Obai himself even more ferocious and ferocious.
Obai rubbed the snowball on the spot, washed it back and forth on his body, and even took a shower. In this cold weather, Obai didn't seem to feel anything at all. It seemed like it was summer outside.
"Commander, the regent has ordered us to set off." A man came over and said.
"Okay." Oboi said, "Bring me my armor."
Oboi first put on a white lining, and then put on a layer of chainmail, which was an armor made of iron rings. It was just like a sweater, but made of iron. Then he put on a layer of cotton armor, and the cotton armor
It is made of pressed cotton and also has the function of keeping warm. There are brass nails on the outside to fix it.
From a distance, you might not be able to tell that the armor is made of cotton.
And on the outside, there was another layer of iron armor.
The outer surface of the cotton armor is very thin, which is good for defense against firearms, but not good against cold weapons. Even if there is iron wire inside the cotton armor, it is not very good. Iron armor is needed for defense.
The three-layer armor weighs dozens of kilograms. It is not invulnerable, but it is not much different. Even if the bird's gun is slightly farther away now, it is probably not able to penetrate the three-layer armor. There is cotton armor in the middle, which can also absorb lead.
The impact of the child.
certainly
Yes, it is inevitable that firearms are better than cold weapons.
There are only a few people like Obai who can wear three layers of armor and charge and move freely in the Qing army. And anyone can use firearms. Under the concentrated fire of firecrackers, it is estimated that people like Obei
It can't be defended either.
Obai got on his horse and led his troops out of the camp.
The sky was already dark, and only the reflection from the snow gave people the feeling that the moonlight was very bright. In fact, today was the first day of the first lunar month, and there was no big moon.
A group of thousands of people quietly headed south
Although the weather was very cold, so cold that people dared not stretch out their hands, the soldiers of the Eight Banners did not pay too much attention to the cold. Instead, they felt a familiar feeling, which made them energetic.
Within the territory of China, almost no one can compare with the coldness of the Northeast. The soldiers of the Eight Banners all live among the white mountains and black waters. They are very adaptable to the cold. Some of them are even savages recruited from the wild forests. To such
Cold weather is even more commonplace.
Cold, heavy snow, and other environmental factors were all negative points for the Xia army. But for the Qing army, they were all plus points.
Obai estimated the time and felt that it was almost time. After giving the order, they all dismounted and walked.
I don’t know when it started to snow again, and the falling snowflakes were like paper money, floating in the air and falling on everyone.
Ao Bai was not worried but happy. He smiled and said, "This is God's help for the Qing Dynasty."
If you walk on the snow that has just snowed, you will make a sound, but in the heavy snow, the sound will be greatly obscured. Isn't it God's help?
As soon as it snowed, the wind came with it. Everyone felt that the wind was like a knife, cutting everyone's face. But the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty still walked south step by step, seemingly not affected by the cold.
All y influences.
Dorgon would do nothing if he didn't attack, and he would use all his strength to achieve the goal. The so-called failure will lead to success. He smashed all the properties of the Eight Banners. How could it be that there is only the road of Aobai, just west of Aobai, not far away?
There was another army led by Tu Lai.
If you raise your perspective further, you can see several armies from north to south, slowly moving forward in the wind and snow.
It doesn't look like it's fast, but it's actually not slow. It's just an illusion caused by the lack of reference objects in the white snow.
It's just that the Qing army mobilized on such a large scale, and the Xia army was not deaf or blind. Although they were a little lax due to the Chinese New Year, they were determined not to relax to this extent. Even if there were knives from the sky, they would still be on guard at the perimeter at night.
