Chapter 360 The First Warrior
Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi has been in constant wars, with population fleeing, without a crowd of thousands of miles, like a wilderness. Not only can’t collect food, but even the civilians cannot find it. The young and strong have already escaped, and the rest are the old people who are breathing.
Tang Zhanxiong exploded the city wall and took Luochuan, and walked around the city for a while. He almost cried without tears. Apart from the seizure of the Tartars, he got nothing left, and he also paid 200 stones of food to the hungry people in the city.
"Brothers, the prince has given me that we must take one step at a time. Luochuan is the gateway to northern Shaanxi, so we cannot fail. Everyone can repair the city walls as quickly as possible to guard against the Tartars!"
Staff Officer Xu Huanqing couldn't help but say, "Captain, it's not easy to build a wall. Do you think you're recruiting some civilians?"
"Where are you going to the recruitment? Those ordinary people haven't seen it. They are almost starving to death without working. I think they have time to find someone, and the walls have been repaired. Are you afraid of being tired and wanting to be lazy?"
"No, no. I'm just afraid of delaying the work."
Xu Huanqing's words were obviously insincere. Tang Zhanxiong turned his big eyes and smiled and said, "Are there two hundred Tartar prisoners? In addition, all the civilians who work for the Tartars have been transferred. These people will not escort the rear for the time being. Let them work in Luochuan, which will be exhausted!"
"The leader is wise!"
Xu Huanqing waved his hand excitedly and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear it yet? Go and transfer people quickly!"
In an instant, hundreds of prisoners were transferred to the city wall, and they were asked to be responsible for the mud repair wall, right beside them. An**'s soldiers each held long spears and strictly monitored them.
Xu Huanqing quickly divided the lives of these people, and he sneered: "You Tartars, listen. You should have buried them alive, but you will give you a chance to live, work hard, and build the city wall within two days and pick out the moat. I will take the initiative and let you go!"
"Take it seriously?" a Tartar official shouted loudly.
Xu Huanqing smiled slightly: "That's natural, I have always believed in my words."
When the Tatars heard this, driven by their survival instinct, they all brought up blue bricks and made up the mud. They began to quickly pile up the city walls.
However, they didn't hear the four words that Xu Huanqing muttered in a low voice: "This time the exception!"
With these Tartars, there is no need to talk about labor rights. They just keep going day and night, except for eating and going to the toilet, and work honestly for the rest of the time. If they dare to be a little bit negligent, the whip will fall on them mercilessly. After working hard for more than a day, the Tartars can't stand it.
"Listen, don't feel wronged. When you treat the Han people, you are a hundred times more cruel than this. Everything is your fault!"
"Did you hear me? Work honestly!"
An old Tartar was carrying bricks and the skin on his hands was worn out. Blood was pouring out of his nails. He lifted a pile of bricks, and suddenly his hands loosened on his feet, smashing his toes to make his toes blurred. The guy screamed in pain and sat on the ground: "Minggou, I'm not doing it anymore!"
A guard whipped hard on the back of the Tartars, and immediately knocked away a piece of flesh and blood flowed out.
"Old guy, don't want to live anymore? Work quickly!"
"Listen to you, Minggou, you are following the old Khan King, and you have killed countless Minggou in your life. In your eyes, you are just a bunch of beasts!"
Several soldiers were furious and rushed over with bayonets. The old guy suddenly pulled open his clothes on his chest.
"Come on, if you have the ability to kill me, I dare not take action, you are raised by your grandson!"
The soldier was about to take action, but suddenly Xu Huanqing shouted: "Stop!"
He walked over a few steps, glared at the soldiers, and scolded, "Don't you understand yet? This old guy is deliberately seeking death. You stab him with a knife to help him!"
Xu Huanqing sneered and looked at the old Jiannu, "I didn't expect you to have been with the wild boar skin. That's a serious sin and the crime cannot be punished. Don't worry, it won't be so easy for you to die!"
"Come on, push this old guy to the city and nail all the limbs to the ground with nails!"
Old Jiannu was also shocked. He was about to struggle, but he was caught by several soldiers and carried it to the open space. Without saying a word, he picked up a nail more than one foot long and pointed it at his wrist and ankle. Someone swung a sledgehammer and smashed it into the hard land in a few strokes.
Xu Huanqing listened to the old guy's heart-wrenching shout and said expressionlessly: "Go, come here and get dozens of wild dogs to dismember this old slave!"
"Abide by the order!"
Soon a group of wild dogs came over. They smelled the smell of blood. The wolf nature in their bones was aroused and they rushed up and bit them in big mouths.
The old Jiannu screamed heart-wrenchingly, as if an evil ghost was howling. The more he howled, the more the wild dog bit him. After a while, he was covered in blood and dying. A big black dog grabbed his neck hard and shook it hard for a few times. The old Jiannu finally lost his anger.
All of this was seen by other Tartars. They were not people around them, but a group of cruel devils. These Tartars were completely frightened, and they all had to use all their strength, sweat mixed with mud and water, turning into bricks and stones on the city wall!
...
In the front hall of Yan'an Government Office, there was a tent in the open space, and Obai lived inside. The commander of the three armed forces who had just arrived in northern Shaanxi shocked all his subordinates with his quirks.
I had a good house but couldn't live in a tent. I didn't eat all kinds of dishes and only ate jerky and dry food every day. And I was extremely cruel to my subordinates. I got up to train before dawn and practiced until the lights were held before I stopped. Every day, the Tartars in the military camp complained.
Even Suksaha, who came with Oboi, couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly found Oboi.
"Obai, although those people are slaves, they won't be dying. They have to wait for them to fight and make contributions!"
Oboi sneered: "Why do you think I'm taking their lives, not training troops?"
"It's been so many years since you were training troops like this? I heard that eight people broke their ribs yesterday. Tell me, is this training troops?"
Oboi suddenly stood up from his position. He was half a head taller than Suksaha, and his eyes were staring at Suksaha like light bulbs.
"I tell you, I haven't trained like this because I have never met an Ming army as fierce as An**! Do you understand? It's not that I, Obai, want to kill them, but that these guys will be killed by other people's wolves if they don't turn themselves into tigers and swallow them up by countless An**!"
Oboi's hair and hair were all suddenly exposed, and Suksaha couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"This is my recklessness, but I just need to train troops to combine hardness and softness, to harmonize yin and yang, to relax and relax, to civil and military..."
"Shut up!" Obai shouted bluntly: "Don't fool me with the Han people's specious things. I am Batulu of the Qing Dynasty, and I only believe this!"
Oboi punched the hardwood table, raised his fist and a long pattern cracked on the table!
"Lord Zhang Jing, Ming Gou stole Luochuan, Yichuan, Qingyang and other places, and all the defenders were defeated!"
Suksaha was startled and asked hurriedly: "Is the news true?"
"It's true that the defeated soldiers have fled back from all over the place."
"What should I do? Luochuan is the gateway to northern Shaanxi, and Qingyang is the hub to Ningxia and Gansu. This land fell into the hands of the Ming people. Northern Shaanxi is in danger!"
Looking at Suksaha who was spinning around the ground, Obai suddenly sneered: "What's the matter of fear that soldiers come and generals will block the water and soil? I'm practicing soldiers hard, just for this day. Minggou dares to invade the imperial tomb of Shengjing, and I want them to pay the price!"
Suksaha hurriedly stopped Oboi who was eager to try and said, "The Ming people suddenly made a big attack. We must act cautiously. I think it is better to inform the Regent first and then make a decision. Yes, the opposite side is safe, so don't underestimate it!"
"Bah! You don't have the courage to coward, are you still the warrior of the Eight Banners?"
Oboi said bluntly: "My Eight Banners are rising among the white mountains and black waters. For decades, I have never been afraid of Minggou. What's so great about An**? I Oboi wants to kill them!"
Suksaha was not outdone, and frowned: "Don't do anything randomly, the movements of An** are unknown, how can we act rashly."
"It's really aggrieved to say that you are a little bit aggrieved. You are not even as good as a bucket. Ming Gou attacked several times, and what he wanted was to approach us step by step and encircle us in northern Shaanxi. Oboi is not a coward, I want their dream to fail. =, come! Follow me immediately, attack Luochuan, let Ming Gou's blood wash away the shame!"
These Tartars who were trained by Oboi for a long time were extremely fierce and wild. They even restored the charm of the old slaves back then and went to war, which really made them breathtaking.
Although Suksaha was not convinced by Oboi, he couldn't help but nod when he saw these soldiers. When it comes to war, ten Suksahas are not as good as one Oboi!
"You all listen, the day for killing Minggou is here, follow me and rush!"
Oboi left five thousand soldiers for Suksaha, and he personally led the eight thousand Tartars all the way south from northern Shaanxi and headed straight to Luochuan.
...
After two days, the city wall was finally repaired as scheduled, and the trenches outside were also picked up. After Tang Zhanxiong and Xu Huanqing finished inspecting, they nodded with satisfaction. Tang Zhanxiong waved his hand impatiently. Soldiers had already dragged the Tartar prisoners outside the city, and a burst of guns turned them into sieves. The original promise had long turned into a gust of wind.
Tang Zhanxiong and Xu Huanqing both stood at the top of the city and looked into the distance as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, a burst of dust flew, and a long dragon rushed down from the north.
"Captain, the large Tartar troops are here, there are tens of thousands of troops, the leader is Obai!"
"Obai! The number one warrior of the Tartars!" Tang Zhanxiong clenched his fists and fire broke out in his eyes. In the military academy class, Obai was a name repeatedly mentioned, and it is said that the prince also valued him very much.
Then let him die in Luochuan, Tang Zhanxiong gritted his teeth!
