Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Um...."

The captain nodded and frowned as he watched the fireworks in Anping City.

"Take off the weights and pack up. We are ready to attack the city at the signal."

"Sergeant... Is it too much for us cavalry to attack the city?"

A personal guard stepped forward and asked politely. As a personal guard, he dared to open his mouth. If anyone else dared to question the order of the chief officer, he would be beheaded on the spot. There was really no way to deal with cavalry attacking the city. The major cities in the Ming Dynasty had thick city walls and solid gates. There were also heavy crossbows and artillery on the city walls. In order to ensure mobility, cavalry often carried light weapons, such as long swords, bows and arrows, etc. In the absence of large siege equipment, attacking the city was simply a pipe dream.

"It may not have been possible before, but now, the refugees in the city are rebelling, and the Ming army is stretched thin. We are attacking the city only to prevent the Ming army on the top of the city from being withdrawn. They will have to guard the city gates. By then, the refugees in the city will be able to cause them some big trouble, and we just need to sit back and reap the benefits. By then, those Ming slaves will be like pigs in the fields, and we can catch as many as we want!"

The sergeant explained calmly to his guards, at the same time trying to calm the morale of his subordinates.

"promise!"

The personal guard had only mentioned it briefly, and was not expecting his superior to reply to him, but he did not expect to get a detailed answer from the sergeant. He was deeply moved and clasped his fists before riding his horse to convey the order.

Sometimes people are like this, they will be moved by an inexplicable action.

After receiving the order from above, the cavalrymen untied the ropes tied to the horses and threw the bloody Ming people who were dragged behind the horses to the ground. One of them had a long gown that was worn to tatters and his gray beard had been dyed red by the blood. He had lost his human form and only his eyebrows and eyes could be vaguely identified. He was the younger brother of the head of Xiaohegou Village.

"Build.....Slave"

He uttered his last utterance in a muffled voice, and the fall finally broke his fragile bones and took his last breath.

Xiaohegou Village could not escape after all.

After realizing that their team had not returned yet, the Qing army sent out a squad of cavalry to search for clues along the way. Jiang Han and M4A1 deliberately used the horse hoof marks to lead them away from Xiaohegou Village. However, the purpose of these people was never as simple as searching for teammates.

The Xiaohegou Village faced a catastrophe when it encountered the Qing army for the second time. The M4A1 had a good stealth skill, but her grandfather could not erase the traces from an unknown day ago. So even if the traces around the Xiaohegou Village were erased, the cavalry still found this poor village according to the guidance of the goshawk.

And this time, no one can save them.

They did not kill all the villagers, but just wanted them to identify the murderer who killed their comrades. However, they never expected that these villagers were so tough. Even when they were dragged by war horses and there was not a piece of good meat on their bodies, no one said a word.

But it doesn’t matter. The man left traces himself, probably because he didn’t want others to find this village. So the sergeant guessed that this group of people was most likely the Ming army.

Blood debt must be repaid with blood. Now that they have a target, the sergeant who came to the vicinity of Anping City came up with an idea after seeing that Anping City would actually accept refugees into the city.

He wanted the Ming people to kill the Ming troops who were protecting them.

How interesting, Shi Chang thought, and couldn't help grinning. He felt proud of his brilliant idea.

He let out a roar, and the Goshawk took off. The cavalrymen behind him followed the sergeant and shouted as they rushed towards Anping City.

Finally out of prison, I'm here to pay my debts woo woo woo qun168二177一溜

Volume 23: Chapter Chapter : Unexpected but not unexpected

The situation in Anping City is extremely dire at the moment. Previously, a large number of refugees were taken in. These people themselves had no future in life and could be found barefoot. These people themselves belonged to the oppressed class. However, they could not resist someone leading the rhythm.

These Manchu spies sneaked into Anping City a few days ago, acting secretly in disguise. They were once Han people and part of the refugees, but after being abducted by the Manchus and becoming their slaves, they feel that their lives now are much better than before.

So they began to hate their Han identity, and also hated the refugees, or, they hated themselves for once being refugees.

Therefore, they worked particularly hard to deal with the refugees and the Ming Dynasty.

Their original plan was to search the city for the Ming army that had killed the Later Jin cavalry leader, and then pass on the city's defense situation and architectural layout to the cavalry masters outside the city. However, after staying in the city for a few days, they discovered that although Anping City seemed peaceful, there were undercurrents underneath. With the Shanxi merchants here, how could this Anping City be okay?

Thus, a new plan naturally surfaced. After reporting the situation to their masters outside the city, they shifted from gathering information to guiding the public opinion of the refugees.

Over the past few days, conflicts between refugees and indigenous people have occurred one after another, making Zhao Pu extremely anxious and overwhelmed.

He also started to become more and more irritable, and his good friends were also very busy and could not offer any comfort to him.

Behind this series of conflicts lies the increasingly intensified contradictions between the two sides.

And this contradiction finally broke out completely after Zhao Pu was assassinated today.

The spies began to spread the news among the refugees that the county magistrate had been killed by the refugees, and that the government was about to take action, but they did not say what specific action they would take, so you had to guess it yourself.

The highest level of rhythm is to let the audience fill in their own imagination. They will believe in what they have imagined and spread it.

Rumors bring fear, and after fear comes anger. When anger reaches its extreme, it becomes madness.

The spies on the aboriginal side were not spared either, and all kinds of news leaked out saying that the refugees were going to rebel, and they would even kill the county magistrate! Everyone had to drive them out!

Everyone in the city has seen what Zhao Pu has been doing. He was really diligent in solving the problem of refugees. People in the city joked that there might be his father among the refugees, which made him so dedicated. But now, such a man was killed by the refugees. The residents' disgust for the refugees almost immediately reached its peak. These people are just a bunch of ungrateful wolves who can never be tamed!

The conflict is on the verge of breaking out. It may come from a quarrel due to mutual dissatisfaction, or from the indignation of several indigenous residents. The cold eyes turn into quarrels, and the quarrels develop into fights. From fights to deaths, it only takes a few heavy blows.

After that, the situation got out of control.

The government office was also extremely anxious at the moment. If a commoner killed an official, it was a serious crime of treason and needed to be strictly investigated. But the current situation was that not only was the official committing treason, he was also going to rebel against you. Once this happened, all the officials in Anping City, from top to bottom, would probably be dismissed. What's more, they might not even be able to save their lives.

Since ancient times, when there was a rebellion, the government offices were the first target. They symbolized the authority of the government and the majesty of the imperial power. As long as they were not destroyed, the subordinates would never give up. You have to know that if the rebellion is not thorough, it is not a rebellion at all. Even if the refugees have not been educated, their instinct makes them make such a choice.

Looking at the surging crowd outside, the officials said "Stop", closed the door, disguised themselves and prepared to sneak out through the back door. As for how the county lord died, I don't know how he died, but if I don't leave, I will soon know how I died.

The functions of government departments have been paralyzed. Right now, the task of maintaining order in the city can only be handed over to the city guards. There are a total of two general flags of troops stationed in Anping City, and each general flag is led by a thousand households. Originally, they were to rush to quell the rebellion immediately, but now, it is a little inconvenient.

The Jiannu cavalry were heading towards Anping City.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the higher the city defenses were, the better, to prevent enemy arrows and climbing. However, after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, due to the large-scale use of catapults and artillery, the city walls gradually developed towards being low and thick. Such a structure could defend against stronger impacts and ensure the overall integrity of the city wall, and would not be smashed apart by just a few hits from a catapult.

Everything has its pros and cons. Low city walls are good for defending against catapults and artillery, but bows and arrows can easily hit people on the walls. Cavalry come and go like the wind, and cannons are heavy and difficult to aim. The defenders on the city wall originally thought that they were being harassed again, but they never expected that their lives would be taken away by an arrow as big as a small shovel.

"Enemy attack!! Jiannu are going to attack the city!!!"

After the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army's morale to fight in the wild had been broken. They almost started to feel nervous when they saw the Later Jin cavalry. They wished their parents had given them two fewer legs when fighting. They had to rush thousands of miles to get through the battle. Now they could only rely on strong cities to give them a sense of security. Despite this, the Later Jin army almost became synonymous with demons and monsters in the minds of the Ming army. Even with the city walls behind them, they could not give them a sense of security.

When the defenders on the city wall saw the Later Jin cavalry and realized that their horse archery could kill them, they panicked.

"Everyone, close the city gates tightly and ask for help from the Qianhu. All the city defense troops are defending the city! The Jiannu are coming to attack the city!!!"

Their fear of the Manchus even made them ignore the fact that the enemy were all cavalry and did not carry siege equipment.

In the city, Jiang Han is playing Speed ​​​​with M4A1 and Sister 45.

“I think I forgot to ask a question before.”

"what is the problem"

"Among us, who can drive a carriage?"

姜寒看向M4A1，M4A1看向45，,4看向姜寒。

"Will you? I won't."

"Then the question is, since all three of us are here..."

"Who is setting up the carriage?"

"Aren't you the one driving it?"

"I thought you were the one driving?"

Jiang Han looked at the two of them, opened the sliding door and looked out. Four horses were running wildly on the street, taking the carriage to who knows where. Refugees on the roadside were hiding. The reins behind the horses were empty. They had been unmanned all this time! !

"Now, we are going to say that classic line"

"What lines?"

"Help!!!"

Volume 24: Chapter Chapter : Tragicomedy? Absurd drama

"Why do you need to fix the carriage when you can't even set it up?!"

45 I feel like I’m going to get numb.

"I thought the M4A1 would!"

As a piece of shit, Jiang Han decisively threw the blame.

"Eh!? Sorry..."

Although I don't know why it was caught in the crossfire, the M4A1 with a strong sense of responsibility still took the blame. M4A1! My superhero!

I hope Sister 16 can come later, and even if she does, she won’t hear about this matter... Jiang Han was thankful and praying in his heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can an M4A1 have something like that!"

45 said how could he be fooled like this.

"How is that impossible? Didn't he bring the carriage to Cao's house?"

Jiang Han was still being stubborn.

"It seems to make sense. How did you drive the carriage to Cao's house?"

45 looked at M4A1 with some confusion.

“Well…Actually, I just pulled it over.”

M4A1 is a little embarrassed.

"You mean, you dragged four horses and a double-decker carriage and walked to Cao's mansion just like that?"

"Well....because I can't drive a carriage"

"That's okay"

Jiang Han was instantly filled with awe. A man, pulling a horse and a cart, walked almost a kilometer in human form. Isn't it amazing?

"Now what!"

"Aren't you the commander? You have to think of a solution!"

"What! Ouch!!!"

Jiang Han gritted his teeth and thought carefully about how horses were trained in movies in his previous life. Fortunately, although these horses were not as obedient as war horses, they were well trained in Cao's mansion. Jiang Han's orders were received quickly and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

"The question is where the hell is this?"

"I am Baiyin, and you are asking me? Sister 45, use your invincible little brain to think of a solution!"

"Shut up, I'm thinking! Turn left first, no, turn right! Yes, turn right!"

"Should I turn left or right, Sister 45?"

"Turn right, turn right! The houses here are on fire, what can I do!"

"You weren't blinded by the burning house?"

"I hope you can think more about the bridge of your nose when you speak next time, okay?"

"woman"

The broken houses, the smoke signals on the city walls, the refugees running around the streets, and the two horse-drawn carriages running through the city on the highway, the city of Anping looked like a picture of hell, cruel and absurd.

"Can the carriage enter Hechun Lane?"

“It seems like I can’t get in”

"Then how do we get the baby out?"

"Sister 45!"

"Let me go, I already know the way from here"

M4A1 said lightly.

"M4A1, she came forward so quickly, she is so reliable, I am crying"

Jiang Han's acting is exaggerated

"Stop talking so much! Anyway, I'm going over first!"

Faced with Jiang Han's exaggerated praise, M4A1 seemed a little uncomfortable. She was not very good at dealing with such straightforward compliments from Jiang Han.

"Oh, M4A1."

Jiang Han called him.

"what?"

"Those people...try to kill them with as few shots as possible, they are all pitiful people"

"Yes, Commander."

M4A1 jumped off the carriage. At this moment, they had arrived at the official road. M4A1 bent his legs slightly, and shot out like an arrow.

Jiang Han and M4A1 were still circling on the road. They didn't dare to stop now. The whole road was crowded with people, some holding stones, some holding kitchen knives, some holding hoes, some holding sickles, and so on. The dream of eating chicken for people started today.
