Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 265
This is, a landslide!

Of course, Yang Chao would not believe that the mountain god was angry. After more than ten days of heavy rain, the soil on the mountain had long been loose. At this time, the red cannon had bombarded it dozens of times. The lead bullets weighing more than ten kilograms were no joke. , causing landslides is not out of the question.

But the barracks camp on the mountainside is fun. Their luck is really bad, and the landslide is the first to bear the brunt.

In the end, although the entire Qushan camp could not be destroyed, half of the camp on the right collapsed under the impact, and even part of the earth and rocks were rolled down the mountain.

The huge panic lasted for half an hour before the officers of the captive soldiers suppressed the soldiers.

An hour later, I saw the captive soldiers moving down the mountain with big bags and small bags, leading horses and carts, dejected.

After descending the mountain, they walked west along the moat, and then swam across the Qiangwei River one by one holding the logs in embarrassment, and went directly to Xiying.

"Hurry up, fire all! Free to attack!"

What are you waiting for if you don't fight at this moment, all the embarrassing captive soldiers, there is no danger in beating a dog in the water, only benefits.

However, Yang Chao's orders rarely failed. The soldiers were all terrified, and none of them dared to fight, especially those gunners, all of whom were transferred by Shi Kefa from Huai'an. Logically speaking, Yang Chao only took care of them temporarily. , they were even less serious about Yang Chao's orders.

"Chang Jiangtou, quickly organize the gunners to fire, even the tiger squatting cannons can hit them!"

Yang Chao was eager, and immediately found the leader of the gunner, that is, the gunner who had been busy leading people to play with the red cannon just now.

As a result, Chang Jiangtou was the most terrified, shaking his head like a rattle: "I can't hit it, I can't hit it. My lord, the mountain god is angry, the cannon has disturbed the mountain god, and he dare not fight anymore!"

He clearly knew that this was nonsense, but Yang Chao couldn't explain it. Even Yang Chao himself was no longer so firm in atheism, because he couldn't explain how he came to the Ming Dynasty.

Respect ghosts and gods and stay away, Yang Chao has never considered this issue, but now he has to think about it, not for himself, but how to dispel the doubts of the gunners, not to mention the gunners, even his soldiers, at this time Everyone was still in shock, thinking that the mountain god was angry.

Even quite a few Min Zhuang knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Chang Jiangtou, the mountain god is not angry because of your cannon. The mountain god is angry because those Tartars should camp on the mountain god, which angered the mountain god, so they trampled their camp! When we beat the Tartars, not only will the mountain god not be angry, but it will make the mountain god happy."

Although he knew that what he said was nonsense, the soldiers accepted it, the gunners accepted it, and the common people believed it. Yang Chao acted according to the rules.

Sure enough, Chang Jiangtou showed hesitation on his face.

Yang Chao called a few more officers: "Tell the soldiers that the mountain god hates Tartars very much. These Tartars cut trees and hunted on the mountain, which made the mountain god angry. Now they are all beating the Tartars vigorously, and the mountain god is happy. Otherwise, if the mountain god is still angry, he might step on Haizhou City."

The officer’s face was still in shock. After all, the sudden large-scale "movement" of the trees on the mountain really awed these people who had no knowledge of nature. In this way, why did the God of the Mountain collapse the camp of the Tartars?

So one by one immediately went down to pass on Yang Chao's nonsense to their soldiers.

The gunners also hesitantly fired a few cannons, and then fired a few shots in a small area. They didn't kill a few Tartars, but only made them panic even more, and ran away far away from Haizhou City. far away.

Turg felt that his luck was really bad.

Just after setting a ten-day appointment, the mountain suddenly collapsed, destroying half of the camp, 1000 people were buried directly, and no less than a thousand people were injured. The key point was that the blow to morale was too great.

Like the Ming army, the captive soldiers were also very superstitious, and even more devout.

Moreover, the worship of mountain gods is also popular in the Northeast. They learned the craft of picking ginseng from the Han people, and learned the worship of the mountain gods from the Han people. Manchurians also sacrificed to harvest ginseng every year.

The vast majority of the captive soldiers believed that the mountain gods were angry. The mountain gods in the Han area were dissatisfied with their killing of the Han people. However, the Mongols did not worship the mountain gods very much. They had natural rivers to worship. Of course, more of them now envelop living Buddhas. Therefore, the Mongols didn't think it was the mountain god who was angry, but thought it was the power of the Ming army's cannons.

This is even more frightening. The Ming army's cannons are so fierce, this battle is still a fart, let alone now, I am afraid that the entire Liaodong has long been flattened by Yuan Chonghuan, who invented the tactic of using cannons with strong cities.

Not to mention the soldiers, even Turge himself was uneasy. To put it bluntly, he was just a captive chieftain, and he was also very superstitious. Therefore, he also felt a mysterious power in his heart, as if the gods were warning him , asking him to leave quickly.

For a moment, Turge deeply felt a feeling that the sky was going to kill me.

Not to mention the other captive soldiers, even he felt like setting up camp immediately and returning to Liaodong.

But the fear of Huang Taiji defeated the awe of the mountain god. The invisible and intangible mountain god could not kill him, but Huang Taiji could not only kill him, but also his family.

Therefore, Turg immediately ordered the relocation, and first moved the big camp to the west camp. After the north camp and the east camp joined forces, the east camp obviously couldn't accommodate them. Although the west camp was small, there was still room for them.

Anyway, no matter what, I dare not stay in the mountains any longer. If we move to the flat ground, maybe the mountain god’s divine power won’t be able to take care of them. In that case, we can still surround them for a few days. If we go to the flat ground, the mountain god will still collapse them. The big camp, if there is nothing to say, quickly withdraw.

Therefore, in just a few days, the captive soldiers actually moved the big camp twice. The first time they moved the northern camp to the eastern camp because of stagnant water. This time they moved the main camp to the western camp because the mountain god was angry. This kind of natural irresistible force completely hit the already slack morale of the captive soldiers to the brink of collapse.

Some people started to flee that night, that's another story.

Yang Chao felt regretful on the top of the city at this time, and missed the opportunity. He watched the captive soldiers pass by outside the city, but because his soldiers were equally afraid, no one dared to fight for a long time. , I just took people to fight directly, and it is estimated that it is a sure-win situation.

The good thing is that my own people are slowly recovering, and their fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger. After all, the landslide destroyed the barracks of the captive soldiers. With Yang Chao's explanation, everyone naturally believes that it is because the captive soldiers provoked the mountain god. After everyone bombarded the captive soldiers in a limited amount, the mountain gradually calmed down, and everyone felt that it was because they beat the Tartars to please the mountain god.

Even the gods are on his side, and the morale is not high.

Seeing the morale getting higher and higher, and the captive soldiers who had entered the West Camp, Yang Chao could only helplessly accept the fact that he had lost a good opportunity.

However, my original intention of using shelling to boost morale has been achieved, and the effect has greatly exceeded expectations, thank you Mountain God!
At the same time, Yang Chao is facing a new situation, that is, the northern battalion of the captive soldiers has moved to the eastern battalion, and the southern battalion has moved to the western battalion, forming a trend of attacking Haizhou from east to west. It seems that it is still surrounded, but this gap is nothing like no encirclement. different.

At this time, no matter what happened in the west camp or the east camp, it would be hell if the captive soldiers on the opposite side knew about it, which meant that it was basically impossible for the captive soldiers to carry out joint operations in the future.

Moreover, after the captive soldiers gave up Qu Mountain, Yang Chao had the opportunity to retreat from the south. Whether it was retreating over Qu Mountain or directly leaving by boat on the river, I believe that the captive soldiers would not be able to stop him.

It is not difficult to cross the mountain. Qushan is a small mountain, so it is easy to cross, but considering the awe of the mountain god, basically no one dares to walk from the mountain.

It is not difficult to walk on the river, as long as there are some boats, put them into the moat from outside the south city, and go directly to the Qiangwei River, and the Xiying soldiers will dispatch to intercept them?Bombard them with cannons and cover them with cannons in the city. They are afraid that the captive soldiers will not be able to intercept the fleet. After all, they can’t charge on the river on horseback. Can they shoot arrows? After shooting, it doesn't have much power anyway.

So facing the new situation, Yang Chao's plan was to build a ship.

Haizhou is close to the canal, and there are salt ships coming and going all year round. It is really unreasonable to say that there are no craftsmen who build ships here.

There are not only craftsmen, but also workshops, not only workshops, but also materials.

Yang Chao quickly found some shipwrights and asked them to start building ships.

But Yang Chao's actions quickly attracted the attention of Haizhou City.

To be precise, it is the attention of the Haizhou state government.

Like a frightened bird, Song Lian quickly found Yang Chao, and asked Yang Chao what he wanted to do without confidence.

Yang Chao told him that he might be able to break through, and put Song Lian half to death.

He jumped and threatened, saying that without his consent, Haizhou would not be able to build a ship, and without his consent, no one would leave.

Yang Chao held back his laughter and watched Song Lian perform for a quarter of an hour. Until the end, it was only a threat of insinuation. He never dared to scold Yang Chao. They come to make friends, but they cannot do without Yang Chao's military support.

Then Yang Chao showed Song Lian some maps of Haizhou's water system.

"Master Song, please look, the main water system in Haizhou is the Qiangwei River!"

Yang Chao pointed at the picture, and said along a river that came from the southwest and went around the sea in the northeast.

Song Lian managed to calm down, and said with a muffled snort, "So what?"

He thought he was more familiar with Haizhou's water conservancy terrain than Yang Chao.

Yang Chao's finger finally slid to the lower reaches of the Qiangwei River and more than ten miles northeast of Haizhou, where the flood outlet is marked on the map!
Song Lian seemed to have caught something, and looked at Yang Chao suspiciously.

Yang Chao couldn't help laughing and said: "The Dianshi lord thinks that I build the ship for running?"

Song Lian couldn't help but blush, he really thought so, but if he wanted to run away, Yang Chao would probably run away long ago, and he wouldn't even come.

He coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment: "Of course I don't think so!"

Yang Chao didn't point it out, and said, "Then I need Master Song's help now!"
