Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 37 Pig Teammates

Deng!
A metallic trembling sound exploded, and the arrow went like a shooting star. A rear golden cavalryman who was raising his strong bow and laughing wildly screamed and was thrown off by the galloping horse.After receiving another cold arrow, the Golden Cavalry was shocked, and then remembered that there was at least one terrifying sharpshooter on the city wall who was aiming at them, and might send them an invitation to death at any time.Anyway, the morale of the defenders had already been knocked down, so there was no need to take the risk of being shot by cold arrows and continue to play handsome here. They dragged the dead and ran away in a hurry.

Yang Menglong stood up holding a crossbow, and yelled at the back of the Golden Cavalry: "Don't run away if you have the guts, let me shoot you a few more arrows!" It's a pity that no one listened to him, and in a blink of an eye, the Golden Cavalry had retreated to five hundred step away.

Seeing that Jiannu finally ran away, the soldiers were relieved and cheered, celebrating that they could live for at least one more night.However, Yang Menglong was extremely angry, and raised his big hand to slap one by one: "Scream, scream! You are dead people? If someone wants to shoot you, just let him shoot you. You won't fight back? Yours Where are your bows and arrows? Where are your muskets? They are all for food? Why don’t you use these guys to kill them? You are so cute, why don’t you ask Jiannu to be your father? Go call, go call! Their sons are not as good as you So good!" He was so angry because he found at least two hundred soldiers carrying muskets!The muskets these days are still very backward, not to mention the heavy ones, and the reloading is slow to death. After firing a shot, before they can load the ammunition, the enemy army will come to them and chop people. The effect in the field is very poor.But the problem is, this is not a field battle. They have a solid city wall, and the Houjin cavalry cannot rush through it. They can load and shoot calmly, but these musketeers are huddled up like turtles and do not fire a single shot. , Let the rear golden cavalry gallop and shoot arrows!He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he was surrounded by such pig teammates. Every one of the musketeers slapped them one by one, regardless of whether they were Zhang Qianhu's or Fang Yizhi's. If they didn't slap them, he would turn around. It's time to beat yourself up.

The musketeers who had been whipped didn't dare to fight back, and looked at Yang Menglong blankly, maybe they didn't know where they were wrong?Fang Yizhi couldn't see it anymore, and said, "Mr. Yang, forget it. Anyway, Jiannu has already retreated. It is important to strengthen the city defense as soon as possible. Don't worry about these details."

Yang Menglong snorted angrily, don't worry about these details anymore?These are also called details?If one fails, I'm afraid they will die on these details!Fang Yizhi didn't give him a chance to speak, and said, "Follow me!" He went straight down the city wall, while Zhang Qianhu dispatched troops to strengthen the city defense, causing a panic.Yang Menglong had no choice but to follow Fang Yizhi back to the county government office. Now he would be of no use if he stayed on the city wall. In addition, he and Zhang Qianhu were seriously at odds with each other. Staying here would be an eyesore. If Zhang Qianhu had some bad tricks, Maybe he will get black sticks again, so it's better to stay away.

The lights in the county government office were brightly lit, and all the servants and servants got up. They all looked flustered. When they saw Fang Yizhi coming back, they surrounded him with a clap and asked, "Master, what's going on outside?"

"Master, Jianu won't call in, will he?"

"Master, how many people have come to build slaves? The sound of horseshoes shook the sky and the earth just now. I'm afraid there are no less than tens of thousands of horses?"

Fang Yizhi was so dizzy from the noise that he shouted: "Shut up before the sky falls!" He was not a big official, but his official power was not small. He shouted angrily, and everyone present was as silent as a chill, and no one dared to say a word. .Fang Yizhi's anger did not diminish: "The yamen are on duty, and all servants will go back to sleep immediately. Anyone who dares to run around and scream again will be severely punished!" He led Yang Menglong into the study, slammed the door, and told him with a loud noise Everyone, he's in a bad mood right now and it's best not to mess with him.Everyone looked at each other, feeling relieved after being reprimanded. They dispersed, those who were on duty, those who were on duty, and those who were sleeping. The county office finally became quiet.

Fang Yizhi sat down and pointed to the chairs: "My lord, please sit down."

Yang Menglong sat down.

Fang Yizhi looked at him carefully and said: "Young master is really an unparalleled marksman. He can kill an enemy a hundred steps away in a pitch black sky with one arrow. I'm afraid even if Li Guang is reincarnated or Huang Zhong is reincarnated, they won't be as good as you!"

Yang Menglong blushed a little when he said it.How dare he compare his archery skills with those of these historical masters? It was just a technical advantage.

Fang Yizhi smiled: "To be able to shoot so far, the bow and crossbow used by the young master must be exquisite. I wonder if I can feast my eyes on it?"

Yang Menglong snorted and said: "This crossbow was made by my master who spent his whole life. There are many things in it that are not passed down to the secrets of this sect and cannot be shown to others. Please forgive me." Just kidding, there are too many things on this crossbow. Something beyond this era, if this nerd pays attention to it, he will be in big trouble!

Fortunately, Fang Yizhi didn't care too much. Seeing what Yang Menglong said, he didn't force himself. He picked up a document and handed it to Yang Menglong: "Master, please read it."

This document is the manuscript of the letter he wrote to Mr. Sun Ge.After all, he had learned some classical Chinese when he was in junior high school and high school. Yang Menglong quickly finished reading it and understood the meaning: he and the villagers of Xiaojiazhuang rose up to defend themselves and killed the slaves. It was no longer a spontaneous act. , but was carefully arranged and even commanded by Mr. Fang, so the first credit should go to Mr. Fang. Also, the more than 30 horses he captured will be handed over to Mr. Sun Ge, whom he has never met.After suffering such a big loss, what he got in exchange was Mr. Sun Ge's advice - or promotion. Well, this was a late payment. Fang Yizhi gave him this draft to tell him the truth. , I need to share your credit, and then recommend you to Mr. Sun Ge in return!There was no way, these days if the superiors did not take advantage of the subordinates, that would not be called noble, that would be called an idiot. Although he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do about it.

Fang Yizhi said calmly: "I have already sent this letter to you. If everything goes well, Mr. Sun will know your name in less than three days. I am shameless and will give you a share of the credit, but also I recommended you to Mr. Sun Ge. Mr. Sun Ge cherishes talents as much as his destiny and will definitely use you. Mr. Yang, you have not suffered a loss."

Yang Menglong blinked and asked, "I don't know what benefits I can get in this way?"

Fang Yizhi couldn't help laughing, this kid was really honest, he didn't even say a word of politeness, just asked him what benefits he could get.He pondered and said: "It depends on how talented you are. If Mr. Sun Ge believes that you are a talented person and takes you in as a student to cultivate him personally, your future will be limitless...but even now, in the future Your contribution is more than enough for a hundred households in a rich place."

Yang Menglong curled his lips: "Hundred households? It's not fun to be an official as big as sesame. Either I don't deserve it, or I want to be the one who manages thousands of households and thousands of people!"

Fang Yizhi laughed again, and said: "My son is really ambitious, and I admire it. In fact, what is so difficult for you to become a thousand households? As long as you can help me repel Jiannu and capture another batch of heads, I will definitely I will ensure that you become a thousand households!" I said in my heart: "What's so good about a thousand households, in charge of a large group of weak guard soldiers, who are dying of poverty, such an official, if you ask me to be me!" Yes, Now the guards in all parts of Ming Dynasty are basically rotten, a large number of military households have fled, and large areas of military land are either occupied or left barren. It is thankful that a thousand households can pull out [-] soldiers. Thousands of guards?Out of your mind?

Yang Menglong didn't know this, he saw Zhang Qianhu walking sideways everywhere, he just felt that Qianhu was very prestigious, so he also wanted to be Qianhu, and when he heard that someone was willing to help him become Qianhu, he was naturally happy and full of heart. He said happily: "No problem, those Jian slaves are on me, if you don't beat them out of shit, they will be clean!"

Fang Yizhi frowned, why is this guy so rude!He forced a smile and said: "Okay, okay, the young master is really admirable, but..." After clapping his hands, the door opened, and a yamen servant came in with a matchlock gun and a pair of bows , Said: "Master, I brought you what you asked for."

Fang Yizhi asked him to put the things on the desk, and then exited.He picked up the musket and handed it to Yang Menglong, with a wry smile: "Didn't you just annoy the guards why they didn't fire back? I asked for a musket from them. You will know the reason after seeing it."

Yang Menglong took it, and saw a lot of rust on the gun at first glance, and looked more carefully, my mother, there was also a lot of rust on the inside of the gun barrel!The most terrible thing is that the wall of the barrel of the gun is so terribly thin that his hairs stand on end.My mother, it's really my mother, no wonder those musketeers dare not fire. Once such a musket fires, will it kill the enemy or maim its own people?He often complains that there are too many counterfeit and shoddy products in the 21st century, and the quality is appallingly poor, but compared with this musket, those merchants who make fake products are simply the conscience of the industry!

Fang Yizhi sighed: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, our army's muskets were extremely sharp, and they could even pierce two people with one shot. The muskets are getting worse and worse, and no one dares to use them in the end..."

Yang Menglong looked at the musket in his hand, which had a 90.00% [-]% chance of blowing up on the spot, leaving the shooter in a bloody mess, completely speechless.

Fang Yizhi handed another step bow to Yang Menglong: "My lord, take a look at this bow again."

Yang Menglong put down the musket, took the bow and tried to pull it. Two large characters floated above his head: The bow body of this bow is so thin that it makes people cry, and the bow string has obvious traces of damp. It is still usable. It is simply a miracle. .Don’t expect such a bow to be very lethal. The arrows shot will become floating in the middle, which is useless. No wonder those post-golden cavalrymen have nothing to do after taking more than a dozen arrows. Bow swish swish swish shooting exhilaration!He's really going to cry, Zhang Qianhu, what have you done, your subordinates' equipment is not as good as that of a beggar!

Fang Yizhi seemed to be able to see through his mind and said angrily: "That Zhang neglected his duties and did not pay attention to maintaining his equipment. As a result, his swords and guns became rusty and rats gnawed his bowstrings. When this war is over, I will be very cruel." Get involved in his book!"

Yang Menglong smiled wryly: "My lord, we will talk about this later, the most urgent thing is to find a way to defend the county, otherwise you can only go to the underworld to join him! My lord, is there any better equipment in the county government treasury? Use this thing There is no way to fight!"

Fang Yizhi said: "What do you think of me as an official? Is this something that I am responsible for?"

Yang Menglong thought so too, he is just a big sesame magistrate, only in charge of people's livelihood and adjudicating cases, military equipment and so on really has nothing to do with him, that is the responsibility of the local guard.Thinking of the equipment of Zhang Qianhu's soldiers, he no longer had any love for the officers and soldiers of the guard station.He looked at the bows and muskets with a mournful face, and shouted: "What can we do? How can we beat others with such garbage!"

Fang Yizhi sighed again: "Why don't I know that our army's equipment is extremely poor, but there is nothing we can do about it... Mr. Yang, I have put all the government officials and village warriors in this county under your command. I hope you will I can fight side by side with Zhang Qianhu, repel the Jiannu slaves, and protect the safety of tens of thousands of people in our county!" He knew how much money he had, so it was no problem to ask him to write articles, resolve individual cases, etc., but to let him command the war was If it doesn't work, you will definitely kill your own people. It is better to leave this kind of thing to professionals.Yang Menglong was able to lead a group of villagers to kill more than a dozen Jiu slaves, which shows that his commanding ability is not bad. He also showed his superb archery skills in public, almost killing Niu Lu'erzhen with one arrow, and established a high reputation among the defenders. Prestige, handing over the command to him should be a good choice.

Yang Menglong secretly complained.He has never even touched the door of the military academy, so how can he command the army to fight? It would be no problem for him to command a group fight. Commanding hundreds or thousands of people to fight with Jiannu... Kill people!But the magistrate has already entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of saving the earth, and he can't shirk it, so he can only secretly pray that Zhang Qianhu is better than himself, Lao Zhang, now it's all up to you!He began to regret why he had offended Zhang Qianhu so hard, you know, now it is all up to him to command the battle, regret it, regret it!
When Yang Menglong was worried about whether he should give in to Zhang Qianhu, pretend to be his grandson to ease the bilateral relationship, and work together to fight against the enemy, Zhang Qianhu ended it with decisive action. His troubles:

In the darkness, the gate of the city opened quietly, and a cavalry galloped out of it, bypassing the defense line of the Houjin army and galloping away into the distance, before disappearing into the boundless darkness in the blink of an eye...
