Wanli 1592

Chapter 1142 Trojan Horse
The great cause of locust control was carried out with Xiao Ruxun's decision to break the boat.

Xiao Ruxun told Xu Guangqi that the first thing to do every time he went to a place was to read the emperor's edict to popularize the knowledge of locusts to the people, telling them why locusts live, why they die, how to prevent them, and how to eliminate them.

Finally, destroy the locust temple and all kinds of strange temples, destroy the luck in the hearts of the people and the fear of the non-existent ghosts and snakes.

For disasters, the most reliable thing is always your hands and legs. If your hands and legs can't save you, then you have to die, because people can't compete with nature, but at least this is death after struggle, it is brave It's not that I have all the strength but only know how to burn incense and worship Buddha, and finally starve to death.

It is meaningless to kneel in front of ghosts and monsters, one should stand up and smash them.

If someone kneels for too long and can't stand up, then help him, put a knife around his neck and force him to stand up, even if forced, let them stand up!

I want to see if you are more afraid of ghosts and monsters or my sword.

Xu Guangqi was sweating profusely. He vaguely guessed what the emperor was going to do, but he didn't dare to think about it carefully. He only knew that he would do what the emperor said. This is the best way to do things under this unprecedentedly powerful emperor. .

Great Qin Emperor Xiao Ruxun didn't like people to question him.

In June of the first year of Longwu, someone reported that the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth had been in disrepair for a long time. This was an important place for the former emperor to worship heaven and earth.

As a result, the official was reprimanded by the emperor's decree, demoted to a first-level official, and fined half a year's salary.

There is only one poem on the emperor's reprimanding handbook--Poor night, empty the front table, don't ask the common people, ask the ghosts and gods.

After that, no one in the Manchu Dynasty mentioned the matter of repairing the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth.

At that time, people speculated that the emperor had just established the country, and he wanted to show a benevolent gesture of caring about people's livelihood, and he would use all his strength to relieve disasters and rescue the people to stabilize the rule of the Qin Dynasty. He did not repair the palace to express his determination to live frugally, which was a political gesture, so it was also Nobody cared much.

But half a year has passed, and in the view of Xu Guangqi now, the emperor's intention seems to be not as simple as everyone thinks.

He wanted to speculate, but he didn't dare to speculate further, for fear that he would guess wrong and offend the emperor, and it would be difficult to end, so he stopped thinking about it, but called a meeting of officials from the General Administration of Locust Control as instructed by the emperor to convey Emperor's order.

The General Administration of Locust Control has started to act. Far in the southwest, the Qin army's attack on Hailongtun is almost at the last moment.

On the evening of the 600th day of the first lunar month in the second year of Longwu, Wan'an Pass was breached at the rear of the village. Beheading more than [-] people pushed the front line to the last line of defense before the top of the mountain in one fell swoop.

However, Hailongtun is located on the mountain. The topography of the mountain and the bottom of the mountain are completely different. The slope at the foot of the mountain is relatively gentle, while the slope at the top of the mountain suddenly becomes steeper. The slope of the last checkpoint is already very bad. in a very unfavorable situation.

And more importantly, Yang Yinglong played in person.

After Yang Yinglong realized that he seemed to have been tricked, he was extremely angry, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then forced himself to defend the city, trying to boost morale, let the soldiers stick to the earthen city wall, and let this last and strongest line of defense become the Qin army. grave.

If you don't let me live, I won't let you live either!

Yang Yinglong, who was already a little crazy, decided this way.

Because of his appearance, the native soldiers of Bozhou defended the city extremely tenaciously, facing the extremely fast and powerful attack of the Qin army, they unexpectedly withstood it.

Qi Dayong's first wave of attack was repulsed. They rushed forward with a large shield, but were repulsed by rolling logs and rocks. Pushing the shield cart forward, they were repelled by their artillery. The bird shot back and exhausted various methods. After Qi Dayong lost more than 400 soldiers, he had to grit his teeth and retreat.

Because of the terrain, it was difficult for the Qin army to exert its full strength. Seeing that Guancheng was close at hand but could not break through to the front anyway, and their comrades kept falling, they were really resentful.

Zheng Ying directly stopped the meaningless attacks in turn, went to the front line to observe the situation of the earthen city wall, and frowned as he watched the wounded and dead soldiers being carried away on stretchers.

So far in the battle, the death toll of the Qin army has exceeded [-], and the number of injuries has exceeded [-]. Thanks to the continuous work of the medical team day and night, the death rate of the wounded soldiers can be controlled, but some soldiers injured by lead are difficult to save. Some people are unwilling to amputate their limbs, and some even commit suicide.

As the coach, he also bears a lot of pressure. Now the army's attack is blocked, and the attack in front of the village is also blocked in front of the 36-level ladder of Feihuguan. when.

Before going to the battle, Xiao Ruxun wrote three letters to him in a row, telling him not to always think about using brute force to crush him in battle. Daqin's military strength is indeed stronger than that of Bozhou soldiers, but with Hai Long around, they can't crush them. For an insurmountable hurdle, we must think about whether we can find another way.

Don't stick to the date of one month, this is just the deadline Xiao Ruxun said to motivate them. In fact, he doesn't intend to question them if he can't win Bozhou in a month. He can give the army enough time, but the army has to come up with something for them Satisfied with the results.

Don't panic, don't worry, don't lose your position, think carefully, what other tricks can be used.

Zheng Ying frowned tightly, recalling these words of Xiao Ruxun, thinking deeply, looking at everything on the battlefield, thinking deeply.

"You guys, take the wounded to the medical camp! Hurry up!"

Not far in front of Zheng Ying, a Han soldier and a local soldier were cooperating to send a Qin soldier in their hands to the medical camp.

Because of the strict military discipline of the Qin army and the pre-established order of attack, the native soldiers did not receive oppression and discrimination from the Qin army. .

Right now, it is the most important time for the Chieftain of Bozhou to express his loyalty to Daqin. In order to better divide the interests of Bozhou after Yang Yinglong's death, they will spare no effort.

………………

Ok?
Looking at this scene, Zheng Ying's eyes lit up and his mouth opened slightly, as if thinking of something very special. Suddenly, he closed his mouth again, lowered his head, rolled his eyeballs, and immediately thought of it.

He remembered that when he was still in Myanmar, Xiao Ruxun liked to go to the barracks to have close contact with these officers and underground soldiers. He always ate and drank with them, and then told everyone stories around the campfire.

The story that Zheng Ying remembers most deeply is a story called Trojan Horse.
