Chen Guoqi asked the soldiers to untie the hands of the craftsmen participating in the war and asked them to hold the horses and get weapons. After waiting for a while, the craftsmen were dressed neatly and lined up in front of Chen Guoqi.
They have been in the ranks for a long time and are in line, but they are still able to see that the weapons in their hands are a bit ridiculous.
This man was holding a saw in his hand, needless to say, he was a carpenter; the man was holding a sledgehammer, well, a blacksmith; there was another man waving a shovel over there, probably a bricklayer... These people were easy to recognize, but there were a few behind him who looked like funny artists, even though they were carrying tools, they looked like funny artists: Look at this man holding a small hammer and the man holding a wooden mud knife, and the two armies faced off. Seeing such a magical weapon appear, I am afraid that laughing would make the enemy laugh to death.
"Forget it," Chen Guoqi sighed inwardly, thinking, "Anyway, the main force of the war will be himself. These people will do the task of cleaning the battlefield, escorting prisoners, and transporting wealth."
With a command, the sound of horse hooves rolled up smoke and dust - no, the land was frozen and there was no dust at all - no matter what, Chen Guoqi led his soldiers to the Meldiller Manor.
Along the way, although the ice and snow covered the ground, you could still see the crisscrossing fields on the ground. The scout Xu Yan jumped off his war horse and used his gun to pick out the ice and snow. Below was a piece of green wheat.
After listening to Xu Yan's report, Chen Guoqi sneered: "Hmph, Jiannu can also grow crops? Don't they only know how to rob?"
A carpenter waving a little hammer said, "Sir, Jiannu really can't grow crops. They are like a group of locusts, and no grass grows after passing through the border. But Jiannu captured many Han people and forced them to farm. I once saw an old man who was slower when farming. He was beaten to death by them. He even called evil dogs and ate the old man alive. It can be said that every grain of wheat in Liaodong was covered with a drop of Han blood..."
Chen Guoqi had heard Liu Jingting talk about Jiannu’s evil deeds, and the carpenter’s words made his eyes red. He roared: “When I kill Mo… what family is Mo? No chicken or dog left!”
The Jinyiwei and the craftsmen agreed.
The horses of the Jinyiwei are fast, and it takes ten miles to arrive in half an hour.
The door of the Meldiller family was closed. It turned out that when the defeated troops retreated to Shenyang yesterday, the Meldiller family received the letter and were all panicked.
When Old Meldill's wife heard this, she cried and complained: "Everyone blames you, everyone blames you. I'm going to move from Hertuala to this ghost place, okay. Now the whole family is finished."
Old Meldill became angry when he heard this, pointing at the gold and silver on his wife and saying, "Isn't you blamed me? When I snatched these things for you, weren't you very happy? Didn't I follow the steps of sweating and move south step by step, can I have such a big family business?"
Little Merdiller advised: "Ama, please stop arguing. For the sake of this, I am going to pack up the gold, silver and fine materials, bring the coated slaves, and hurry to Shengjing to avoid it."
Old Meldiller's wife was a little bit of a financial affair: "What should I do with this house? We asked the barbarian to build it for us little by little. It would be a pity to lose it."
"My mom, there are everything. Don't we bring all the coat slaves with us? As long as there are them, no matter how many houses you can build. Anyway, killing barbarians is not illegal. Under the steel knife, are you still afraid that barbarians will not work? I remember that last autumn, an old barbarian was unwilling to work, so I called a wolf dog to tear them up. Let's see the remaining barbarians. Which one is not working hard."
The Meldiller family had decided to pack their luggage overnight and loaded them with twenty-five carriages - of course, this was a two-wheeled carriage. If they were replaced with the four-wheeled carriage invented by Emperor Tianqi, five would be enough. In addition to bringing gold, silver and soft softness, they all brought them all from iron pots, hoes, and bowls and chopsticks. The Jiannu people didn't do anything to produce, so these things could not be made at all. In addition, the robbery business has become increasingly difficult in recent years. If they don't bring all the things, it will be difficult to live in Shengjing.
Because there were too many things to be moved away, it would be cleaned until dawn. Meldiller was not in a hurry. Anyway, the Ming army was mainly infantry and its speed was far less than that of a carriage. Even if they chased after him, they could only stare at the carriage.
However, after a while, they heard the guards standing guard shouting heart-wrenchingly: "Caval! There are cavalry!"
Old Meldiller was shocked and quickly climbed to the observation deck and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a group of cavalry coming from the west, wearing golden helmets and golden armor. He could tell at a glance that this was definitely not the cavalry of the Zhenghuang Banner. The cavalry of the Zhenghuang Cavalry was wearing light yellow cotton armor, while the cavalry coming was golden armor. This should be the Ming army, and it was also the extremely burnt Ming army, otherwise how could he use gold to attack the armor?
He didn't know that although the armor of the Jinyiwei was golden, it was not actually made of gold. Otherwise, if a hat and helmet were removed, would Zhu Youcheng not cry to death? Moreover, the texture of the gold was very soft and could not withstand the shooting of bows and arrows. Therefore, although the clothing of the Jinyiwei was similar to that of the Han general, Zhu Youcheng cut corners and replaced the gold with a golden alloy. Although it looked golden, it was actually very cheap and far stronger than that of steel.
Regardless of whether the armor is gold or not, the army that can defeat the 60,000 Jiannu army can not resist? Old Meldill wanted to escape, but when he saw that the Ming army was a cavalry and its speed was not slow, he shouted: "Close the door, all servants go to the wall, the Ming army will not attack us, and no one is allowed to attack them!"
Seeing the powerful force of the Ming army, Old Meldill unconsciously changed his words, not calling him a barbarian, but a Ming Dynasty. He hoped that the Ming army would not see his house so that they could escape the disaster. However, if such a big house was invisible to the Ming army, how could the Ming army have poor eyesight?
Chen Guoqi saw the servants with half of his head exposed on the wall and the closed door from afar. He couldn't help but smile. This scene was like the Hongmei thief besieged the Lord's house. However, the difference is that the combat experience accumulated by the long-term robbery by Jiannu's servants is far more than that of the Lord's servants, and the combat power of the soldiers on the Hongmei thief side is even more amazing. The key is that they can take ruthless measures, because what Lord Zhu gave was the order to kill people, without having to be kind and moral. Chen Guoqi asked the entire army to dismount, and then divided the army into four parts. He surrounded the four sides of the Jiannu's house. He led 30% of the Jinyiwei and craftsmen to guard the front door, which was the main attack direction.
Chen Guoqi asked the restless craftsmen who were eager to try to retreat to the back and ordered the Jinyiwei to step forward. A row of muskets passed by, and the heads on the wall disappeared. There were sounds of crying and calling for parents in the yard, but most of them were the bird songs of Jiannu, and the Jinyiwei could not understand them at all.
However, Jiannu was indeed tenacious. A wave of arrows splashed out, and although it did not hit the Jinyiwei, the craftsmen were worried. Jiannu was shooting blindly. They could attack the Ming army, but the Ming army could not hit them. Because arrows could be shot, but muskets could not be shot. The loss would be too great to rush over like this.
Chen Guoqi was not panicked at all and led his soldiers to slowly approach the wall by 100 steps. After all, the servants of Meldiller were not as good as Jiannu's elite, and the farthest distance of the shooting was only 60 steps. Chen Guoqi's soldiers were very safe to stand at 100 steps.
The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard looked at the performance of the Meldiller family with a smile. After ordinary archers shot ten arrows, their arms would be very sore and they had to rest for an hour or two before shooting. Now, seeing that Meldiller's servants were very aggressive in offensive, but after these waves of arrow rain, it would be difficult for them to organize a large-scale offensive.
Old Meldiller was not a fool, otherwise he would not have led his servants to plunder the Ming Dynasty. He had seen the Ming army's muskets and knew that the range of the muskets was only fifty steps. Since the Ming army could shoot the servants, the servants could shoot the Ming army even if they were blindly shooting. Old Meldiller sneered: "You want my life. It's not that easy."
Unfortunately, after seven waves of arrows, it would be no longer possible to shoot arrows behind the walls of the Meldiller family. Later, the arrows shot by their family were one by one, crooked and slanted, with basically zero lethality, as if it only proved that they were still resisting.
When the craftsmen saw Chen Guoqi stopping and thought he was worried about the safety of the soldiers. They all volunteered to jump into the wall and eliminate the archers of Jiannu, and then opened the door to welcome the Ming army into the entrance.
Chen Guoqi waved his hand and shouted: "Grenadiers come forward."
The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, who had a fuse wrapped around their necks, suddenly pulled out the grenade inserted between their waists, and blew the fuse. The fuse ignites the flames, then lit the leads of the grenade with the flames, then ran forward, ran to the sixty steps, swung his arms, and threw the grenade into the wall of Jiannu.
"Boom boom boom", a shocking explosion sounded behind Jiannu's wall, followed by a "cry" and "clang" sound, and the walls and gates of the Meldiller's house fell down.
This was really a bit beyond Chen Guoqi's expectations. But it's no wonder that Chen Guoqi had seen the effect of grenades blowing the city wall, so the city wall was naturally unmoved. But the wall was much more fragile, so it would be strange if this explosion didn't fall.
Seeing that Jiannu's turtle shell had exploded, Chen Guoqi ordered loudly: "The whole army attacks, kill Jiannu and protect the Han people!"
The sound was loud and even reached the inner room of the Meldiller Manor.
Soldiers and craftsmen rushed into the yard of the manor together. Jiannu was already stunned by the earth-shaking explosion, some forgot to resist and were killed on the spot; some rose up to resist, but after all, they were outnumbered and died even more miserably.
It was fine if Jiannu met the Jinyiwei, but he just shot him to death. But when he met the craftsman, he was miserable. When they saw Jiannu with a pig's tail tied on his head, they were bullied and humiliated. They were all worried about using weapons and teeth together. They would never give up until Jiannu was torn to pieces.
Seeing the craftsmen so cruel, Jiannu was frightened and knelt down and begged for mercy. Chen Guoqi shouted: "Please pay attention. Jiannu will be killed without mercy. The Han people squatted against the wall and hugged their heads with their hands."
After this order, many smart and Chinese-speaking Jiannu also held his head and squatted down, trying to catch fish in troubled waters.
The craftsmen saw that there was no resistance in the yard, and rushed into the inner courtyard.
Seeing this, Xu Yan quickly shouted: "The woman inside cannot be killed, we still have any help!"
As he said that, Xu Yan also brought a group of Jinyiwei and rushed in.
