Jiang Sheng brought Governor Yang He and supervisor Gao Qiqian to the pig pen.
"This stinks too much. Let's go and hide far away."
As soon as Gao Qiqian arrived at the pigsty, he was smelled away by the smell.
There are more than 5,000 large black pigs in the pigsty.
This was the result that Jiang Sheng's grandson spent more than ten days and robbed most of Fengxiang Mansion.
The villages in Baoji County are so poor that only a few hundred large black pigs were robbed from more than ten villages, which is not enough.
Jiang Sheng could only ask Governor Yang He for some time to allow his grandson to plunder the surrounding villages.
In Baoji County, they can freely plunder.
Fengxiang Mansion cannot do this. It can only rob ordinary villagers, but it must not rob distinguished gentry.
Otherwise, he will be impeached by the censor.
As for the other things they grabbed, they were simply swept away by them. They were all trophies.
Only the least valuable big black pigs were left for trade.
Yang He covered his nose and looked at these big black pigs.
This is his hope of quickly breaking through the mine formation of the yellow thief.
"Commander Jiang Sheng, Commander You Shilu, you are still leading your respective troops and acting according to the original plan.
Go around the Wei River and attack behind the fort of the Men in Yellow."
"My Lord Governor, I will definitely be able to break through the mine array of the thieves in yellow.
Please sir, please allocate a group of rebel rebel troops to me."
Jiang Sheng immediately agreed and made conditions to Yang He.
You Shilu hesitated for a moment, and then he also put forward the same conditions.
Yang He saw that the two generals agreed happily, and the conditions proposed were not difficult to meet.
He immediately agreed to the request of the two generals.
…
General You Shilu surrendered with his troops and a thousand rebels transferred by Governor Yang He.
They totaled 16,000 people and advanced along the Wei River from the west of the fort.
You Shilu put the military households in charge of driving away the big black pigs.
He was assigned more than 2,000 large black pigs, divided into groups of one hundred large black pigs.
You Shilu looked ahead at the north bank of the Weihe River, where there were dozens of corpses of officers and soldiers.
Because they were afraid of landmines around them, no one restrained their bodies.
Because it was winter, the body was still relatively well preserved.
This was the place he had chosen to cross the river.
The view here is wide and there is no place to ambush enemy troops around.
That day he asked military households to explore the road, and dozens of people were killed by landmines.
The soldiers' faces showed fear, no one would explore the road again.
You Shilu knew that force would not work, so he could only give up the action.
At the same time, study the method of destroying the mine array of the yellow thief.
Firearms such as mines have long been recorded, and Qi Jiguang used similar firearms when he fought against the Japanese.
It's just that the mines of the past were not as sharp as the thieves in yellow.
"Drive the pigs over and create a safe zone.
Be careful to keep people away to avoid being accidentally injured by landmines."
When the servants and soldiers heard You Shilu's order, they immediately commanded the military households.
Drive a group of big black pigs into the mine array.
The soldier hit the big black pig hard on the butt with the handle of the knife.
The big black pig felt the pain, grunted twice, and ran forward.
The big black pigs entered the mine array, and they bumped left and right.
When You Shilu saw a big black pig, he immediately detonated a landmine.
This pig was blown into pieces by a landmine, and the big black pig next to it was also affected by mine fragments.
He screamed fiercely and lay down on the ground without moving.
You Shilu knew that his plan was successful and that the big black pig could really detonate landmines.
"Speed up the speed and open a safe channel.
Put away the big black pig that is in good condition, we will have pork for dinner tonight.
With so much pork, you can eat pork every meal."
Under the orderly command of General You Shilu, the military households drove the big black pigs and quickly cleared a passage.
You Shilu asked the rebels to surrender and take the lead. They lined up in a row and walked through the area waded by the big black pig.
Even if these people are reluctant in every possible way.
Landmines were stepped on more than once, causing heavy casualties to a whole squad.
But under the threat of the butcher's knife of the servants, these rebels surrendered and could only serve as cannon fodder.
You Shilu spent more than 1,600 large black pigs.
It cost more than 300 casualties to the rebels who surrendered.
He finally walked out of the mine array of the thieves in yellow.
Not far ahead is Baoji County.
On the edge of the Wei River is the fort of the thieves in yellow.
You Shilu sent Ye Bushou to investigate the surrounding situation.
He got the news.
General Jiang Sheng also broke through the mine formation of the thieves in yellow.
You Shilu sent his own soldiers to report the news to Governor Yang He.
Please also ask for further action plans.
…
General Ding Deyao's face looked a little livid, and he was also from the border army.
You Shilu and Jiang Sheng, two locals from Yulinwei, can get relatively easy jobs.
As an outsider, he could only take on the hard work.
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, forced him to maintain suppression of the yellow-robed bandits' fort.
Ding Deyao organized a counterattack against the bandits and sent troops to the garrison to attack the fort.
These officers and soldiers were beaten horribly by shotgun shells from the fort.
The soldiers were all war-weary, even though he issued strict orders.
The generals and soldiers below were uncooperative.
In the end, Ding Deyao could only give up and let the soldiers attack the fort.
When he was at a loss what to do, the Governor informed him that the corvees had brought the Hongyi cannon.
Ding Deyao was overjoyed and immediately deployed artillery to continuously bombard the forts of the yellow thieves.
…
February 27th.
The roar of cannons rang in his ears, and Ding Deyao was already used to this sound.
The soldiers came in and reported: "Sir, our artilleryman has been killed again."
The red cannon of the thieves in yellow can hit farther than their red cannon.
If you want to attack the yellow thief fort, you can only move the cannon to a relatively forward position.
Now Hongyi cannons are not very accurate.
But if you get too close, you'll be easily hit.
For more than ten days, artillery fire was fired at each other, causing heavy casualties among the artillerymen.
The red barbarian cannon of the thieves in yellow is too sharp, has a farther range and is more powerful than their cannons.
Especially this fort, I don’t know how the thieves in yellow built it, it’s really too strong.
Ding Deyao attacked with more than thirty red cannons.
He just broke through the two small forts built by the yellow robed thieves.
"Continue to borrow artillery from other guards. We still have Hongyi cannon in our barracks.
I don't believe that the thieves in yellow can beat us if they spend all their energy.
I can afford to trade a hundred cannons for one of their cannons."
Ding Deyao could only persist and did not dare to give up.
As long as he dares to give up, he will bear full responsibility for the defeat.
After more than ten days of fighting, he has clearly seen the biggest weakness of the thief in yellow.
That means the thief in yellow cherishes his life very much.
Only the fort was broken, but there were still intact Hongyi cannons in the fort.
The thieves in yellow would actually abandon this fort.
As long as they continue to work hard and with Ming's size, they will definitely win.
The soldier stumbled and said aggrievedly: "Master General, I have borrowed all the artillery in the camp, but I really can't borrow artillery.
The losses of our artillery were too great, and most of them were killed by the explosion.
When I went to borrow artillery, the other generals at the garrison all excused themselves because they didn't have artillery."
Ding Deyao was so angry that he slapped the table.
"If you disobey them, I'll borrow it myself to see who dares to say it doesn't exist."
Just as Ding Deyao was about to get up, soldiers came in to report.
"My lord, the governor has summoned the generals to discuss matters. It seems that there is going to be a big war."
…
In the main tent of the officers and soldiers on the Weihe River front line, Yang He received news from Commander-in-Chief You Shilu and Commander-in-Chief Jiang Sheng.
They have broken through the mine array laid by the thieves in yellow.
We are now preparing to encircle Baoji County and the fort.
In the past few days, Yang He has not relaxed, putting enough pressure on the thieves in yellow.
"Eunuch Gao, did you send someone to keep an eye on Su He, the leader of the thieves in yellow, to make sure he is still in the fort and has not left?"
Yang He asked politely to Gao Qiqian who was sitting beside him.
Gao Qiqian was very happy. He pinched the orchid finger and said: "Please believe in our ability, I have always sent Liu Dayong to keep an eye on us.
Yesterday I also saw Su He, the leader of the yellow-robed thieves, appearing near the fort.
In such a short period of time, even if he escaped from the fort, he would not be able to escape from Baoji County.
We will definitely win the battle and capture Su He, the leader of the thieves in yellow.
Let the army take action immediately, I can't wait."
After Gao Qiqian finished speaking, he pinched his orchid fingers and sang excitedly.
"General Pig broke through the mine array, and Eunuch Gao captured the leader of the thieves with his ingenious plan."
