Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty
Chapter 176
Just then, there was a loud howl behind them, accompanied by the woman's crying. Hongniang's face was ashen, and she murmured with tears in her eyes: "Not a human being."
Wang Pu smiled bitterly. This guy surnamed Liu was so stubborn that it was useless for him to persuade King Gao Yingxiang.
"Brothers, there is no way to kill people. There is not enough food. The dog official army has spies everywhere at the foot of the mountain. Our people will be surrounded when we go down the mountain. If we can't break out within a day, the cavalry of the God Armor Camp will kill us, and many brothers will be gone." The little leader who led the way probably saw that Xing Hongniang's face was not good, so he wanted to give his companions a last resort for their brutality.
Xing Hongniang looked cold and angry without saying a word. Wang Pu said with a sneer: "That doesn't mean that every righteous army is killing civilians, and the number of casualties is too numerous to count." Killing for fun is only a minority after all. If killing is for meat, it is another matter. Instead, it will be seen everywhere, which is even more terrifying.
"What can we do? There is no way the food in the mountains is enough for hundreds of thousands of us. What else can we do without mutton?"
"What if the mutton in the mountains is all gone and you need to go down the mountain? Why don't you find another way out as soon as possible?" Wang Pu asked this question and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. This sounded awkward.
Xing Hongniang glared at Wang Pu fiercely and said angrily: "It's all your fault."
Wang Pu was stunned and thought to himself, this is really right. It was his God Armor Camp that trapped the bandit army, no, the righteous army in the mountains, which caused the people in the mountains to suffer this purgatory.
"Actually, I have a plan that can help you break out. That's why I came to see King Chuang." Wang Pu said hurriedly, feeling confused. What should he do? Should he not suppress the bandits? But if he doesn't, there are so many people in the court watching him, and the local gentry will also come to settle accounts with him. In order to survive, he must work hard to suppress the bandits. Only in this way can he have more friends and fewer enemies.
"Oh." After hearing this, the little leader's face was happy, and he said, "That's great.
"I am a time traveler, why doesn't God give me a system. "Wang Pu muttered in a low voice. At this moment, he finally felt deeply powerless. He felt that the Ming Dynasty he traveled through was not just a background. There were real people here, and how desperate they were.
What he saw along the way was really unbearable. Wang Pu had to close his eyes. He waited for the report from the front to know that he had arrived in front of the King of Rebellion's tent. During the conversation, he learned that the King of Rebellion, Gao Yingxiang, was leading people to attack a very strong fortress. It was said that the wounded had been carried out for three consecutive days, but there was no news of victory.
After half an hour, a very handsome but strong young man came to greet Wang Pu and others. He called himself Li Guo. He rode on a horse, looked around, and looked up and down at Wang Pu, and smiled: "My surname is Li, and your surname is also Li. We were one family five hundred years ago."
"Nice to meet you." Wang Pu said: "We have long heard of the name of the King of Rebellion, and we came here to give gifts and show our friendship. "I thought, this Li Guo seems to be famous in history, and sounds familiar. He must be a trusted figure of Li Zicheng, so I need to pay extra attention to him.Make friends.
"That's great, what's the gift? Bring it here for me to see." Li Guo was not shy.
"Hey, it's some armor." Wang Pu ordered people to unload the armor from the car and spread it on the open space in front of the tent. Li Guo's eyes lit up, and he picked three times before finally choosing a purple horsehide armor. Wang Pu secretly laughed at this guy for being so showy, and picked a half-body armor with paint, prepared for women.
"Really good, it turns out that there is such a good thing, why is it sent now, don't chat first, let's go to see King Chuang together, he will be very happy when he sees your treasured armor." Li Guo said happily, riding back and forth on his horse, as if he was eager to go home.
Wang Pu thought, I am a guest, you are too embarrassed to ask me to help capture that fortress. So he ordered everyone to follow Li Guo to go deeper into the ravine.
The journey was quite difficult. Wang Pu had little riding skills and fell off his horse twice. Li Guo hurriedly jumped off his horse to lead his horse and kept reminding everyone to be careful of slippery stones or sharp branches under their feet. Wang Pu was a little embarrassed on the horse. He couldn't help but look at Xing Hongniang and found that the woman looked at Li Guo with a wrong look in her eyes. She seemed to appreciate him. He couldn't help but feel jealous and felt that this guy was deliberately showing off. In fact, he was a showy love expert.
After a while, Li Guo found out that the backbone of this Shanxi righteous army was Xing Hongniang. The Li Yan on the horse next to him was just a straw bag. It was estimated that he was the leader because he was Xing Hongniang's man. Li Yan frequently asked Xing Hongniang about Shanxi topics. Wang Pu was a fake Ming Dynasty person, and he was set to be a Henan person. He shouldn't reply to such a topic, and he couldn't get in his mouth. He felt unhappy as if he had eaten a fly.
Finally, when the sun was setting, they arrived in front of the fortress that King Chuang personally led his troops to besiege. Under King Chuang's banner, there was a sturdy red-faced old man. Wang Pu dismounted and took a step forward. His eyes immediately shot forward, as if piercing his internal organs, and he could not help but marvel at this aura.
"Grandpa Gao, what a good thing! The Shanxi people have good treasures. I picked this one out. It is most suitable for Sister Guiying." As he said this, Li Guo raised the purple horse leather armor high above his head.
Gao Yingxiang also looked around at Wang Pu and others, but he could see at a glance that Wang Pu was just a boy, who looked more immature than Li Guo, and was obviously a spoiled rich man. He didn't like it. But the red lady behind him was not simple. She was obviously a female hero who had seen blood and killed people personally. He actually skipped Wang Pu and bowed to Xing Hongniang, saying, "I, Gao, have also heard of Hongniang's name."
"King Chuang is polite." Xing Hongniang returned the bow and said, "This is my husband, Li Yan."
"Hmm." Gao Yingxiang was very frugal with words and never even looked at Wang Pu.
Wang Pu could not see that he was being neglected. He was angry and cursed inwardly, "You short-lived ghost, what are you proud of? In a few years, you will be sent away by Sun Chuanting. I will help Sun Chuanting and send you away earlier. No need to thank me. We are the government army. It's just our duty."
Gao Yingxiang asked Xing Hongniang for a map of Shanxi. The rebels privatelyThe map was extremely exaggerated and out of proportion. Wang Pu took a peek and thought it was a Taoist talisman to exorcise ghosts. After getting the map, Gao Yingxiang stopped paying attention to them and focused on the fort.
The fort looked a bit dilapidated from a distance, but it was built on the rock wall. The people inside were trying their best to attack the outside of the wall with swords and guns, like a red centipede, curled up and trapped in an ant colony, using hundreds of insect legs to fly up and down, desperately pushing the ants away, hoping to escape.
Wang Pu saw a banner in the front, with the word "Li" embroidered on it, and a majestic man under the banner. Could it be Li Zicheng? Finally seeing the real boss, Wang Pu couldn't help but take a few steps forward. He passed Gao Yingxiang and found a high platform to see Li Zicheng's subordinates all wearing armor and charging in front. A tall front-line soldier was particularly eye-catching. He was pointing and gesticulating at the people in the fort on the wall. It was not clear from a distance, but he seemed to be cursing and spitting out foul language.
Finally, he angered a person on the wall, who poked his head and threw a square brick. The front-line soldier had been prepared for it and turned his head to avoid it. At the same time, arrows were shot from behind, and one of the arrows shot the kid who poked his head through.
However, such a small fight could not turn the tide of the battle. Wang Pu watched for a long time, his feet were sore, and he didn't see any more clever means. He scratched his head secretly, and thought, is this it? Wang Pu saw some problems. The elite soldiers in armor were all on the ground supervising the battle, and only the old and weak were forced to climb the ladders. When they reached the top, they dared not move, but just waved their spears. The momentum was in place, and it was beautiful. The people on the wall obviously had no armor, and they were afraid of being shot by cold arrows, so they shrank inside and waved their spears desperately. The two waves of spears collided with each other, and from time to time, broken spear heads were thrown out and fell into the crowd below, causing people to run away with their heads in their hands, as if they were going to the market to watch a big show. It was so lively, but it was deadlocked for half an hour. Wang Pu shook his head and sighed, lifted his sore feet, and came down from the height, with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was the level of the rebel army, and they were only qualified to fight with the landlords and farmhands in the fortress.
Wang Pu was standing right in front of Gao Yingxiang. His behavior was seen by others. Gao Yingxiang smiled coldly and asked, "Does Mr. Li have a brilliant plan?"
Wang Pu was stunned. After a long time, he remembered that Mr. Li was asking him. He said hurriedly, "Even a pig can capture this fortress."
"Hahaha." Gao Yingxiang laughed suddenly. But his expression was not kind, and he was obviously angry.
"If you don't believe it, hum, let me try." Wang Pu wanted to show off his skills in front of Li Zicheng, so he sneered, "Please give me three or four pigs. If there are no pigs, cattle and sheep will do."
"You. Li Xin, dare you issue a military order?" Li was angry. He had measured this man's skills on the road and felt that he had no merits. He couldn't help but despise him. Now, this man actually spoke wildly and compared everyone to pigs, cows and horses.
Wang Pu was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Xing Hongniang and was not sure if this plan failed. He thought it was a bit risky. Besides, Xing Hongniang brought only a few people.It may not be able to protect him.
Wang Pu shook his head honestly and said, "I read this method of using a live pig to attack a city in a book. Someone has used it before, so it must work, but the materials used to build a castle are different, so it may not necessarily work here." Historically, the fat on the pig's body generates high temperatures during combustion, which can melt the adhesive of the foundation. There are indeed records that European castles were breached in this way.
"How dare you, a scholar, talk big. I won't pursue you because you are a guest." Gao Yingxiang went through the scene of a pig attacking a city in his mind and thought it was nonsense, and he was immediately angry.
"Chuang Wang, calm down. Although my husband is a scholar, he is not a boastful person. I guarantee with my life that he is not talking nonsense, and his method may work." Xing Hongniang suddenly supported her husband and stepped forward. Her husband is General Wang Pu, who has never been defeated on the battlefield. She knows very well what the power of the Divine Armor Battalion is. Xing Hongniang may not believe in Wang Pu's character, but Wang Pu's ability to lead troops is definitely unmatched. This General Wang said that the live pig Gongcheng method is effective, so even if this live pig Gongcheng method sounds very unreasonable, it is still worth a try.
Li Guo felt jealous when he heard Xing Hongniang defending Li Yan, but he turned his eyes and thought that Li Yan could win the heart of the beauty because he had studied for a few years and was highly regarded by others for his knowledge. In fact, there are so many scholars, who can really have ability? Hongniang is a woman who has never traveled far, and she is surprised by what she has seen. She treats a straw bag as a treasure. If she can make Li Yan embarrassed and make the beauty wake up and see the true face of the people around her, wouldn’t it be an opportunity to take advantage of it?
He felt itchy from the first sight of Hong Niangzi. This beauty was not only beautiful, but also had an indescribable heroic spirit, which made people want to see the extraordinary women in the world. There were many beautiful women in the world, but who was Li Guo? Ordinary women were not in his eyes. Only this rare variety could arouse his greed.
"Grandpa Gao, since we can't conquer her for the time being, why not give it to Mr. Li? He is a scholar and must have something extraordinary. If it succeeds, wouldn't we have a Liu Bowen or Zhuge Liang?" Li Guo said.
Hearing his nephew praising Li Yan with Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang, Gao Yingxiang was very disapproving, but he was quite fond of his nephew and did not want to embarrass him in public, so he said: "Marching and fighting is not a joke. Even if he has read military books, he has not fought a few battles with real swords and guns. Alas, no matter how many books he read, it is just so-so." Gao Yingxiang was experienced and had seen through scholars. At first glance, scholars and scholars seemed to be extremely intelligent and talented, but when they were really useful, they became ridiculous and ugly, and were actually useless.
"Mr. Li is the scholar that Hong Niangzi has chosen. We believe Hong Niangzi once. She is a famous heroine in Shanxi. The one she has chosen must also have real skills." Li Guo said again.
After hearing this, Gao Yingxiang hesitated for a long time, looking up at Hong Niangzi several times, his brows seemed to be in a knot. Wang Pu couldn't help but complain, "We are here to help your allies, but you don't hide your contempt. Sure enough,Such a person can't accomplish anything. The early rebel army couldn't grow big, probably because Gao Yingxiang's character was too disgusting. But there was a change on the battlefield. The defenders on the fort threw many kerosene barrels down. Once ignited, the flames suddenly shot up high. The rebels on the ladders were panicked and fell down one after another into the fire. The screams spread for miles and could be heard clearly even here. The rebel leader Gao Yingxiang's face changed drastically, and he looked red as if he was holding back. He watched his companions and relatives die tragically in the flames again. Today's siege was fruitless, and he wanted to eat the thieves inside alive.
Li Guo's eyes were red when he saw this tragic scene, but he still wanted to persuade the rebel leader. Before he could speak, Gao Yingxiang angrily said, "You can do it." Then he left. Even at this time, Gao Yingxiang still didn't take the scholar Li Yan seriously.
Even Xing Hongniang was secretly shocked and whispered to Wang Pu: "This man is so stubborn."
"Any stubborn person is tenacious. Without this tenacity, how can we talk about overthrowing the Ming Dynasty." Wang Pu said with emotion. As the saying goes, a centipede is still alive even after death. Even if the Ming Dynasty was rotten at this time, there were still strong armies like Guanning Army and Shenjiaying that dared to fight against the Eastern Tartars, and there were still those famous ministers and generals that Wang Pu was afraid of. If he had not come from the future and was familiar with the evolution of history, who would dare to believe that these ragged beggars in front of him, the bandit army that even the landlords and farmhands could not beat, finally overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
