Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

Looking at the Qing soldiers in front of him, whose faces were full of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming activities, M4 suppressed his restless teammates.

"Closer, closer..."

What is this?

The Qing soldier saw the box standing alone in front of the door, but didn't pay much attention to it. He stepped back, ready to kick it away in a handsome manner.

Then, a violent explosion sounded in front of the city gate of Jinan.

What effect does a broadsword burst have in a narrow area? What effect does a shotgun have in the barrel? This is the effect here. Under the dense formation, fragments and steel balls are reveling in the city gate hole. The flying fragments and shock waves have almost cleared a piece of open space at the city gate.

"what happened!!"

The sudden change in front made the soldiers in the rear hesitate, and the loud noise even frightened the war horses, causing them to run around in panic.

"It must be the work of the damned Ming dogs. They placed explosives at the city gate!"

There were still some wise people in the Qing army, and they quickly found a relatively reasonable and reassuring explanation.

"Damn it! Charge into the city gate! I'm going to kill all these bastards!"

After the initial surprise, what followed was anger, just like a child who was beaten down and then had shit on the bottom of his foot. His blood pressure immediately rose and anger rushed to his head.

At the same time, several violent explosions were heard from the camp in the rear.

"By the way, Commander, can you move the enemy's supplies to your home?"

"Why would I build my own warehouse if I could?"

Faced with such a huge amount of food and grass, Jiang Han himself was also envious, but unfortunately the system did not have anything like a space warehouse, and the converted materials could only be consumed by the system itself.

"What a shame, so much food is going to be wasted."

"It's not a waste. You guys try to make as much noise as possible to buy me some time. I can just sacrifice these things as supplies."

Although we can't use it to feed our people, it is definitely more cost-effective to convert it into usable supplies than to burn it.

"Then you better hurry up, we can't stay here for too long, you may not have any idea about tens of thousands of people, to be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure"

"Ah, yes, yes, you are under a lot of pressure, I believe it, so please, sister 45, delay it as long as possible, okay?"

"tsk"

Feeling unhappy about not being able to trick Jiang Han, 45 casually threw a grenade towards the accounting office nearby.

Not everyone is qualified to participate in the siege. A lot of baggage needs to be packed up, and a lot of food, fodder, cattle and sheep need to be raised. These grain transport soldiers and the recruited Ming Dynasty traitors are responsible for the logistics support of this army. They have relatively poor combat capabilities, and the Qing army does not value these slaves very much. Due to the smooth progress of the project plan, it will take at least three days for Dezhou area to get the news of the capture of Jinan, and another six or seven days to rush over. The Qing army has plenty of time to plunder in the city, and there is no need to worry about whether someone will rob the camp. The looted property will be sent to the camp outside the city, and they will set out together and will not be made dumplings by others.

It was precisely because of this negligence that 45, AK12 and MG4 successfully arrived at the rear camp.

After hearing the loud noise at the city gate, the two realized that they had to start their plan to delay time.

Jiang Han's judgment was correct. There was no room for fighting between the attacking and defending sides. Even for a surprise attack, Dorgon brought a sufficient number of Red General Cannons to ensure the firepower of the front battlefield. After two rounds of volleys, the top of Jinan City almost collapsed. Under such dense firepower coverage, even if you are a human, you can't withstand it. Assisting in defending the city is a castle in the air from the beginning.

Now is the time to use magic to defeat magic. The Qing army needs to go south to plunder resources and seize population to consume the Ming Dynasty's war potential. If they can do it, why can't we?

Moreover, it was difficult to assassinate high-ranking generals such as Dorgon who were surrounded by tens of thousands of people. When he entered the city, would he still have such a large number of people to protect him? The longer they delayed, the more the other side would lose. They had to use every possible means to consume the regular army of the Qing army, destroy their resources, and kill their warriors. At this moment, they were relatively weak, so they could only be like a sheep-pecking parrot, taking the flesh and blood from the other side again and again until they became stronger.

After the three men arrived inside the camp, Griffin's identity as a double agent of the Military Control Commission and the Ming Empire was completely exposed. This grenade is very precious and should be eaten by the Qing army first.

Different grenades are designed for different scenarios. Offensive grenades, which are mainly used for blasting and burning, are thrown specifically into the military tents. The soldiers inside were warming themselves around the stove when they suddenly saw a round object falling in. Before they could react, the huge roar and the smoke and dust produced by the explosion filled the entire tent.

The detonation time of modern grenades is around 4-5 seconds, compared to the previous seven seconds. It can also be used to do some fancy operations such as being thrown back by the enemy after landing. It has become extremely simple. Just pull the ring and let go, and you can throw it. It will explode when it hits the ground. There is nothing messy about it.

"Someone attacked the camp!!"

At the same time as the loud noise occurred, shrill shouts echoed throughout the camp.

After loading the gun, he opened the safety and pulled the bolt back with his backhand. Under the mask, AK-12 couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "So, that's why I like interesting things like this."

Volume 139: Chapter Chapter : Evacuation

There is an old saying that goes, "A single cannon shot is worth a ton of gold." At this moment, Jiang Han's understanding of this saying is quite profound.

What is the scale of converting the material reserves of tens of thousands of people into resources? Jiang Han had no way to give a detailed concept, but now he, in one sentence, was like Qin Shihuang eating pepper and touching the electric switch, and he couldn't be more numb.

But such a bargain is not so easy to make. As an action team of only three people, Jiang Han did not have much expectation on how much damage the humanoids could cause. After the delaying plan was successful, he immediately wanted to let them retreat. These supplies were just extras during this period.

"A large number of hostile units are heading in your direction. Don't hesitate to fight. Retreat as soon as possible to save yourself!"

"Instead of warning us, why don't you hurry up and get some more supplies so that we can find two more helpers. With our current numbers, it's hard for us to fight guerrilla warfare."

45 responded to Jiang Han's communication lazily. Beside her, MG4 was showing its power.

The shooting mode of MG4 is that it can only fire once the trigger is pulled, and there is only a continuous fire full-automatic mode, and there is no option of burst fire. Her fighting style is naturally based on fire suppression.

The MG4's bullets are the more common 5.56x45mm SS109 bullets, with a belt feed of 100 rounds. In this relatively chaotic and narrow environment, it is like a demon slayer from the sky, or a great god on earth.

The intensive and loud roars and the constant falling of people around them brought tremendous psychological pressure to this group of low-level combat personnel who were not considered elite to begin with.

Fear often does not come from real scary things, but from the unknown. The fact that the strange muskets in front of them could fire at a high frequency completely broke the cognition of these logistics troops who rarely went to the battlefield. No one knew how many bullets the enemy's muskets could fire, but no one wanted to be the next unlucky person to be hit by the bullets.

MG4 was making a strong advance in the front, 45 and AK-12 were not idle either, the three of them pierced into the Qing army camp like a trident, the direct communication of the Zina Agreement allowed each of them to coordinate perfectly without too much communication with each other, MG4 attracted fire from the front to bluff, 45 prevented fire on the left wing, and AK12 increased chaos on the right.

The battlefield, which was thought to have been calm, suddenly erupted into such a noisy commotion, which caught the Qing army off guard for a moment. However, soon, the officers in the rear army tent reacted: "Someone is attacking the camp!"

"Array up!"

Just looking at the lively atmosphere of communication behind them, the Qing army's generals really had no way to confirm the number of enemies and could only rescue in the safest way.

"The people outside are starting to line up, it's almost time to go."

While setting the fire, 45 did not forget to pay attention to the enemy marks on the electronic map. After seeing that the densely packed hostile red dots showed obvious signs of gathering, she knew that her actions had to end.

"Received, prepare to evacuate"

"Received, received"

After hearing the two people's responses on the communication channel, 45 nodded.

"M4, we are ready to evacuate, do something to cover us"

"receive"

There is no need for too much communication, no need to consider what the other party will do. After countless battles, they have already developed an unparalleled tacit understanding. All they have to do is to turn their backs to them.

After leaving some parting gifts, the three men retreated while firing some symbolic shots to block possible enemy pursuit. Although this group of logistics soldiers had already been frightened, there was no luck on the battlefield, and cutting off all possibilities of their own defeat was what a qualified soldier should do.

The rear army had arrived in front of the camp. At the command of the commander-in-chief, the Qing army infantry began to rush into the camp in an orderly manner.

At the same time, M4 pressed the button in his hand.

The city wall of Jinan has now been completely occupied by the Qing army. Many people are cutting off the heads of the Ming soldiers defending the city on the top of the city wall as a record of their military exploits. At this moment, violent explosions sounded again, and thick smoke billowed from the city wall. After two rounds of cannon bombardment, the city wall finally couldn't withstand such a violent explosion, and a piece of it collapsed. The fragments fell under the wall, killing many unlucky people who were still wailing under the city.

A violent explosion is often the best way to attract attention, and just as the rear army commander was drawing attention away, the three members of Team 45 had successfully completed the evacuation operation.

The three people present are all military-type humanoids with top-notch performances. Their mobility is even higher than that of ordinary humanoids. Even if they want to leave, it is difficult to keep them. It's not that there are no archers who want to perform long-range sniping, but in AK12's eyes, their actions are as ridiculous as those of children.

After a few bursts of shots, no more archers dared to show up, and the few of them began to move quickly towards Jinan City in the forest that had not yet been cut down.

Unlike the people inside and outside the city who could communicate with just a thought, all the Qing army's orders had to be passed down by messengers after the superiors gave the order. In order to ensure that the command was as accurate as possible, flag signals were used to enable tens of thousands of people to move as smoothly as possible. This level-by-level information transmission efficiency was simply too primitive and backward, and this was also the key to the successful execution of the evacuation operation.

"Damn you slave, who attacked the camp? How many people are there? Where did they go? Tell me now!"

The commander of the rear army was naturally in a bad mood after breathing a mouthful of car exhaust fumes. Just now, the front army was the first to climb the city wall when attacking the city, and was suppressed by the artillery of the central army. But their rear army did nothing, and their camp was robbed after that.

How come everyone is so aggressive, but you are the only one who falters? He could almost imagine how his colleagues would laugh at him. Who could swallow such a huge humiliation?

Looking at the defeated soldiers hiding behind the bunker like dogs, the commander was so angry that he started asking questions.

"No, I don't know. There could be dozens or hundreds. We were knocked down by the enemy's muskets before we even saw them. There were so many muskets, probably hundreds."

"Dozens of people...?"

They came to raid the camp and retreated so quickly, so the number of people must not be large. However, with the scale of the attack, how could they have been able to defeat it with fewer people?

Was it one man with three muskets? Or was there some other trick? The commander couldn't figure it out, but wouldn't it be enough to just capture the man and ask him directly?

"Everyone, get on your horses and give chase! Find those bastards for me!!"

"promise!!"

"Confirm that all targets have entered the camp"

"Hey, let's set off the fireworks"

45 took out a detonator and pressed it hard.

Volume 140: Chapter Chapter : Meeting

An operation that was determined to win, a city that was easily captured. Unexpectedly, there was no problem at all during the siege. After the city was captured, unexpected events occurred one after another.

I don’t know what others think, but Dorgon’s mentality has changed at this moment. Hearing the howling coming from the camp in the rear, his eyes turned red. He understood that he had completely fallen into the trap of the other party and was being fooled.

Since he entered the customs this time, he has never encountered such a humiliating scene. Which of those Ming dogs was not beaten to tears? The few hard bones that were difficult to chew were also overcome one by one. It would be fine if you and I were of similar strength, but what about this?

"Notify everyone to gather the wounded and enter the city. Once you are in the city, do not put down your swords for three days. I want everyone in this city to know what will happen if a servant angers the master."

"Yes!"

The Eight Banners Army following Dorgon were also furious. No one would be happy to be teased like this. Did they think they were made of mud and had no temper? You know, they had massacred the city before!

With one decision, the people of Jinan city are about to face a catastrophe.

What they don’t know is that all this is just the beginning.

At this moment, the extremely difficult battle to defend the city of Jinan officially began.

"Boss, I have found everyone for you."

In recent days, Shen Lian and Ding Xiu have shown their skills in Yangzhou City. With the support of Jiang Han who provides money and people, the native local gangs in Yangzhou City have suffered an unprecedented dimensionality reduction attack.

It's like, 007 retired and opened a casino, Tom Cruise quit his job and became a big brother, Jason Bourne went into the jungle, those were real tough guys coming to me, and next to this tough guy, there was Ding Xiu, who single-handedly chopped down an entire Qing cavalry squadron with a single sword.

One of them received Jiang Han's orders, and the other received Jiang Han's reward. They soon became friends with the local bullies in Yangzhou with their strong skills. After some cordial and friendly exchanges, the local bullies were quickly convinced by their strong personal charm.

People in the underworld are relatively simple in their actions. They will follow whoever has the bigger fist. They live a precarious life, with no tomorrow for their livelihood. If they follow a boss with a bigger fist, they can naturally have two more bowls of rice.

Gambling houses, brothels, drugstores, butcher shops, teahouses, streets, coffin shops, theaters, all the lowest classes of industries in Yangzhou were visited one by one by Shen Lian and his men.

These days, it's hard to earn a full meal, and people have to work hard outside just to make a living. When most people heard that Shen Lian had a way to make everyone have enough food to eat, they readily agreed. Of course, there were also those who disagreed. We don't need to say much about their fate.

After being blackmailed by the Royal Guards, Jiang Han felt more and more anxious. Two people were missing for no reason. Even if the Royal Guards had lost face, they would definitely conduct a thorough investigation. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. What he had done would almost certainly be discovered. At that time, it would be time for a complete showdown.

But although the Ming Dynasty has reached its end, it is still a lean camel at the moment, and its anger is far beyond what Jiang Han can deal with with just a few people and a few guns. If you want to set up your own business, you must first have the strength to maintain the survival of your group.

Therefore, Jiang Han did not stop Shen Lian's current very rough method of industrial integration. He was just waiting for the county magistrate's approach to become too passive. In the current situation, he had to take the initiative.

Shen Lian did a good job. Now, he brought these leaders from all walks of life to Jiang Han.

"Well done, Master Shen. I always trust you to do things. Leave it to me from now on."

Jiang Han sat at the table, his back leaning against the armchair, holding a tabby cat in his arms and stroking it.

"Welcome everyone, I believe you have heard of me. It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of me, it won't hinder our meeting today."

Just as Jiang Han started to speak, someone stepped forward to interrupt him: "The name of the Jiang Family Manor Master is naturally well-known in Yangzhou, but what we are curious about is, is it true that Brother Shen promised us a new way to live?"

The high level of prestige that had just been raised was interrupted by someone, and the whole scene collapsed on the spot. LXTX beside him tried hard to hold back the expression on his face and didn't laugh out loud. Jiang Han looked up at the fool in front of him. The man had a big head and a thick neck, and a stupid look on his face. He didn't look very smart.

"What is the name of this...strong man?"

"I will never change my name, and my surname, Chu Sansi!"

Think twice, does that mean you are born to be stupid? Jiang Han took a look at the man and decided to ignore him for now.

"When you walk through this door, I assume that you and I are in an employment relationship. So the reason I called you here this time is naturally to talk to you about what you are going to do and the issue that everyone is most concerned about, salary and benefits."

"what?"

Chu Sansi didn't understand what salary and benefits meant, so he asked about it on the spot.

"Mr. Chu, I hope no one will interrupt me while I'm speaking, okay?"

After being interrupted for the second time, Jiang Han still expressed his opinions in a good-tempered manner.

"Okay, fine, I won't ask anymore."

Seeing Chu Sansi shut his mouth, Jiang Han continued, "I have a big business to do. This business requires a lot of manpower, but most of my people are focused on construction, and I can't spare so many people. So, I thought, it's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. You have been in Yangzhou City for many years, and you must know more about all aspects of Yangzhou City than I do. Why not bring you along? So we have today's meeting."

"I don't know...what does Your Majesty want us to do?"

Another man in the crowd spoke up.

“Good question”
