In the blink of an eye, the green smoke in the distance became heavier and heavier. It was blown this way by the wind.
The thick smoke became thicker and thicker, covering the sky and the sky, and the visibility dropped to the point where it was almost impossible to see clearly even ten meters away.
"Cough cough cough!" Many people began to cough. The smoke was clearly caused by straw wetted with water and then lit.
Across the way, the Mongols soaked some rotten wood and straw removed from the roof, and then used small pieces of chopped wood to light a fire underneath. There is no need for wet wood to make a big fire. As long as the fire starts, the wet wood above and the
Straw will emit fierce smoke.
"My house belongs to these men who have been killed by a thousand cuts," one man cried, climbing up the barricade and about to jump over and fight the Mongols. A neighbor from the surrounding general banner quickly grabbed him.
"Zhao Laowu, you are desperate for your life. Mongolians are very accurate in archery. If you didn't run over, I would kill you with one arrow." Chu Yaozu cursed loudly.
"That is, if you don't want to live anymore, you should also think about your mother-in-law and two babies."
Ou Hang, the commander-in-chief of the militia, yelled loudly: "Shut up, everyone. Go to the top of the barricade with nine rifles. Two people use shields to cover a gunman. Hurry up."
Ou Hang was also so angry that he almost went crazy. His house was also over there, and it was obviously demolished by these dog Tatars. In this era, the house is the most valuable possession of the people. Without the house, the whole family cannot live on the streets, right?
.
But being angry and being impulsive is not good. The Mongolians laughed to death when they rushed over like this. They were worried about how to get in. You sent them to the door yourself. Their archery skills are not good, you can doubt their people.
However, his archery skills must not be questioned.
Yaoguang did not take the Qing soldiers' siege seriously and continued to teach.
This is the fourth class of students she has taught. These old scholars and young students all failed in the imperial examination. They are so poor that they can hardly afford to support their family. The old scholar can still find a school to teach a few students.
Lao Tongsheng can only make some money by setting up a street stall and writing letters, or copying books for wealthy people.
Now, these old men in their 30s and 40s, or even 40s and 50s, have begun to study mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, philosophy, music, art, agriculture, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, Western medicine...etc.
Subject.
As long as he can graduate, he will be assigned to work as a teacher in a primary school, and he will receive three coins and one hundred catties of cornmeal every month. If he can teach one more subject, he will be given another salary.
These old boys are studying like crazy. Yaoguang teaches four classes every day in the large staircase classroom here. Each class is a subject and rotates every three days. Anyone who wants to learn can come and listen.
There are no restrictions on attending lectures, and strict rules on entry and exit. As long as you can pass the graduation exam, you can be issued a teacher's certificate and you can be assigned a job. There are also the female relatives of the prisoners who have been bought from the Jiaofang Division over the years, and they are also literate.
They are all teachers in the literacy class. They can also come for further studies. If they can graduate in one subject, they can become teachers in primary schools.
Yaoguang was in class when she saw Gu Zhenglun, the chief of staff of the security team, barging in.
Yao Guang frowned and was about to get angry. She didn't like anyone interrupting her lecture.
"What's the matter?" Yao Guang asked with a straight face.
Gu Zhenglun immediately put his leather boots together and saluted, and said loudly: "The Mongols burned the wet straw and created smoke. The wind direction is not good for us. The visibility on the front line is now very low. The regiment leader is worried that the Mongols will take the opportunity to touch it and choke on the smoke."
The officers and soldiers couldn't open their eyes and kept coughing. Let me ask Miss Yaoguang if she has any good ideas."
Yao Guang shook his head helplessly. These soldiers are all rough people and uneducated. They still come to ask me such a simple question.
It just so happens that this class is a chemistry class.
"How do you solve this problem?" Yao Guang asked.
Immediately, many people below raised their hands, and some people talked in various directions.
"Just soak the towel and cover your mouth and nose."
"Wear goggles so you won't be blinded."
…
Yao Guang nodded with satisfaction. These old and semi-old men really studied hard.
Yao Guang waved his hand and said: "This chemistry class will be changed to a practical class. You all go to the front line, one person from each general banner. Teach them how to do it in the field, and I will give you a credit."
There was a loud bang below. Credits are not easy to get. If you collect enough credits, you can graduate. This is another way besides taking exams. Suddenly, all the people attending the lecture below ran away. These old masters were all clamoring to follow Gu Zhenglun to the front line.
go.
"Open the warehouse and hand out the goggles. I'll go talk to the master. You hand them out first. It's important to fight." Yaoguang said to Gu Zhenglun.
"Thank you Miss Yaoguang." Gu Zhenglun quickly saluted again and turned around to pick up the goods. The front line was urgent now, and the Mongols could attack at any time. If they couldn't see it, they would suffer a big loss.
What's more, many of them are young men who were captured temporarily. It's okay for these people to be organized, but they will definitely collapse if they fall into chaos.
Soon all the officers and soldiers on the front line tied towels soaked in well water around their mouths and noses. Goggles were also distributed and everyone wore them.
"Brothers, don't panic. We have measures. We can adapt to the smoke better than the Tatars. After a while, they will rush up and beat me hard. In addition, tie a white towel on the left arm as a mark to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. If
There is still a password after I dropped it. Question: What kind of knife is it? Answer: Five-hole large ring knife. Do you remember it?"
"Remember, if we fight with the Tatars, my house will be mys, woo woo woo!"
…
Neqi Khan took a look and saw that the smoke screen had spread over and covered the shanty town. There was smoke everywhere and nothing could be seen within ten meters.
He nodded with satisfaction and said to Dai Qing: "You Taijis, follow me in and avenge my 500 warriors. After you enter, no chickens or dogs will be left behind. These despicable villains only use secret methods to kill you."
We don’t have to show mercy.”
Following Neqi Khan's order, six thousand Mongolians dismounted and advanced on foot to attack. There were hundreds of them and dozens of them in groups. The front row held round shields and scimitars for horseback riding, and there were others behind who had bent swords.
He nocked his bow and arrows, ready to shoot the enemy at any time. He moved toward the front.
The telescope Dong Tianping used had an anti-reflection coating, and he could barely see the shadowy figures moving through the smoke. As soon as the Mongolians entered the smoke, they were immediately in tears and coughed loudly. The smoke is harmful to everyone.
the same.
"Sound the cannon, fire!" Dong Tianping gave the order.
Now that the Mongols are within range, open fire immediately. There is no need to hesitate anymore. It doesn’t matter whether you can see the target. The streets are narrow and the doors and windows on both sides have been blocked. There is no place to hide. It is difficult to hide.
Find cover.
A cannon shot, boom!
Gunshots rang out one after another at various barricades.
