Chapter fifty-ninth first offense
"Brother Mu, I'll bring you the cannon back!"
Shao Tingda, who returned from charging, looked proud. If it weren't for the smoke and fire, his proud expression would have been very majestic.
The momentum of hundreds of tigers running together was indeed huge. First, use landmines to blow up the morale of the enemy's rear formation, and then use hundreds of tigers to kill and injure the front army that rushed to the formation. One person fled and led a hundred people to escape. Moreover, more than one enemy army fled. Whether it was Bai Yuanjie or Deng Zilong to beat the charge drum in the rear, Chen Mu's flag army rushed the enemy down from Xinjiang Bridge and took advantage of the situation to chase and kill two miles.
The rebel generals in the Ming army were a fool. Their forces were distorted and they wanted to stop the defeat by calling. Shao Tingda and his team rushed to more than 20 steps before they wanted to escape on horseback. Shao Tingda, who was ignited with the seven-star arrow, set off a rocket and shot the horse to death. He fell to the ground and was captured.
After chasing out of the two miles, the flag army was stopped by Chen Mu, who was charging with him, and appointed Shao Tingda to take his flag army and more than a dozen township heroes to the mountainside to see if the enemy's artillery had been crushed, and then led the flag army back.
Chen Mu himself didn't expect Shao Tingda to really carry the enemy's cannons back. He was amazed at the black-faced reckless worm surrounding the two bronze cannons and said, "Brother Mu, you said those dogs would just use this thing to blow us up and even hit stones!"
One of the two bronze cannons was a 300-pound Franchise machine, and the other was an old 200-pound bowl-mouth mortar cannon. The rebels had no lead bullets, so they could only shoot stone bullets. Chen Mu was stunned by his tongue. Bai Yuanjie came over to ask about the casualties, and Chen Mu asked, "Thousands of households, can the rebels build cannons?"
"Even military craftsmen in the garrison can't make cannons, the rebels can't do anything! These two cannons were probably raised by bitch, which garrison Li Yayuan attacked."
Bai Yuanjie walked two steps around the bronze cannon, looked at the inscription on it, and pointed at it, "This bent franc machine is made in Jiajing's 30th year, and the bowl-mouth cannon is an old object from Yonglen, and it can still be used. Fortunately, the rebels did not take this to fight you in close combat!"
Bai Yuanjie was afraid and said to Chen Mu: "Bowl cannons are not for long-range shooting. You can put this on the riverside and half-tilt them up. Pile more gravels underneath and bury them to solidify them. Put the gunpowder and put them on a large rock bullet first, then sprinkle dozens of gravels. When the enemy forces release them nearly 200 or 300 steps, they will kill him!"
Chen Mu smiled when he heard Bai Yuanjie say that. The bowl cannon was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the barrel was short. It was not too far and accurate enough to fire the cannon. But it would be different if it was fired. The big rock bomb was shot out a hundred steps, and the small flying stone was splashed two or three hundred steps. It was really a fight.
Just afraid of accidental injury.
"By the way, Qianhu, should this profit be paid?"
Chen Mu didn't understand how the Ming army's spoils were distributed. In the past, they fought under Bai Yuanjie's subordinates, and Bai Yuanjie was the biggest Shangguan. Now that he has Deng Zilong, who knows how to divide the profits.
"If you want to hand over, you will first add your subordinates' weapons and armor. Pick out 30% of them and send them to General Deng. The copper cannon with the bent gun and the rest of the things you have left."
After saying that, Bai Yuanjie took two steps closer and whispered to Chen Mu: "Your people clean the battlefield, you have the final say in how much you can, just hand over the useless ones. There are also the treasures, silver, and valuable items on the rebels. Remember to let the life-soldiers take them back."
Chen Mu was still immersed in the joy of returning the bowl and cannons. When he suddenly heard Bai Yuanjie say this, he realized that in addition to the soldiers left behind on the battlefield, those corpses were also one of the necessary means to clean the battlefield and get spoils.
He had nothing to be afraid of this. He was afraid of panic twice at one time, and was mostly awe of the destruction three times, so he became accustomed to it.
What Chen Junye thought was that this matter could be left to trustworthy people, so he called five small flag officials to let them do it themselves.
Except for Shiqi, all four went there, leaving the dog-headed military advisor to report the casualties.
"Six or five were killed in the Guns and Spears, two were killed in the Birds and Guns, four were killed in the Longbows, four were left in the Knife Card Players, twenty-six were killed in the Township Bings. The General Banner, four flag soldiers, seventeen township soldiers, and all escaped were captured... and killed?"
Chen Mu was deeply moved by the hang of an old lame man in front of the Hundred Houses of Qingyuan Wei in front of the martial arts field, but on the battlefield, blood was poured into the nose through the air, and the inevitable casualties became numbers.
"Remember them, the flag army fell, and I took a piece of cloth and wrote it down." Chen Mu just raised his hand and said something to Shi Qi, then paused for a moment before continuing: "The escaped village hero, bring them over and have a meal together on the bridge. The battle was in a hurry and the meal was not finished."
Seeing Bai Yuanjie on the side, Shiqi didn't dare to say much, so he nodded and went down to find the Huo Tou Army to get the rice.
Bai Yuanjie said to Chen Mu: "If the law is not understood, it is impossible to understand the emotion. Do you know this principle?"
"I know." Chen Mu smiled, smiling a little reluctantly, "What I said is military law. If you don't kill them, no one will be afraid of anyone. If you don't listen, you will not be able to take the soldiers, right?"
Bai Yuanjie nodded heavily, looked at the riverside and looked at the rebel fleet that was still motionless in the distance, slowly breathed, patted Chen Mu on the shoulder and took a few steps towards the central army, then turned around and said, "After having dinner, you can lead troops to guard the river beach, and then Deng Zhuangmai will guard Xinjiang Bridge, and you can rest."
"After the war, Bai invites you to the best pleasure boat in Guangzhou to drink."
After saying that, Bai Yuanjie didn't stay any longer and left Xinjiang Bridge. However, even if he returned to the central army, he still looked at Xinjiang Bridge from afar - he was a person who had experienced it and knew that this hurdle was not easy to get through.
Chen Mu picked up the rice bowl he had put down from the bridge railing, slowly ate the smell and chewed wax bit by bit. Shao Tingda sat on the side while eating and was still not idle, and said to him something like, "Brother Mu should marry and have a son, so he will not lose his ancestor's blood if he dies."
If Shao Tingda usually said such an unlucky thing, Chen Mu would definitely kick him in the butt, but at this moment he was not in the mood and asked Shao Tingda: "How much money is there to clean the battlefield?"
"There is not much silver, and there are only more than twenty taels of taels for hundreds of people. However, Tongbao picked up tens of thousands of coins, but he didn't count them in detail." Shao Tingda shook his head and said, "There are only ten taels for the twenty taels left by the rebel leader. Oh no, I brought it - Brother Mu, these rebels are poorer than me!"
"Isn't this nonsense? You, Shao Xiaoqi, have seen the world. You killed bandits and Japanese pirates. You can get the silver rewards. Can the rebels compete with you?"
Chen Mu said as he put down his clean rice bowl, raised his feet and kicked Shao Tingda's butt on the ground by the stone railing, and paused out to two rows of twenty-one escaped soldiers who had lunch and had leisure chatting. The village Yong glanced at him and shook his head and said, "Don't just take money and don't work. Take everyone to take down all the escaped soldiers, tie them up and kneel down."
Shao Tingda only knew what Chen Mu was going to do at this time. He widened his eyes and the food was just beside his mouth but did not dare to send it in. Then he saw Chen Mu nodding and turning around with his hands behind his back.
"Bird Gunners, assemble and raise guns northward!"
"The flag army and twenty-one village heroes are afraid of fighting and fleeing. If you are guilty of being killed, you will be killed. If you wait for the first offender, you will be left with a complete body."
"put!"
Bang! Bang bang!
