During the Ming Dynasty, there was a black stone mountain in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and there was a bandit leader on the mountain, this person was named Liu Tietou. This Liu Tietou mountain bandit felt that he was not addicted, and even declared himself the Iron Head Emperor.
Liu Tietou was transformed into a man who was no longer under the control of the Ming Dynasty. This iron-headed emperor really stepped on the cotton bag and jumped into the pit, and he was infamous at once.
Governor Yungui hurriedly led his troops to personally suppress the bandits, but he did not expect that after several battles, he actually lost his troops and returned home. Viceroy Yungui's chest was also shot by an arrow from Liu Tietou's deputy village chief Qiu Qingpi, and when he went back to recuperate, he ordered Liao Ping of Heishi County to continue to suppress bandits, Liao Ping was only a civilian official, and there were two brushes in the governance of the locality, and fighting a war was simply a rolling pin blowing fire for him... It doesn't work.
Liao Ping received this hot potato from the bandits, and only with a hard scalp posted a notice of seeking merit, he did not expect that as soon as the notice was posted, three recruited men came to the door of the county court. Liao Ping still thought that there was some tall man coming, so he hurriedly trotted away and greeted him.
But when he looked at these three people, his nose was almost crooked. He recognized all three people, one was Zhao Laoliu, a shield smith who made shields in the county, the person next to him was a blacksmith cow sledgehammer, and the last one was Hou Cheng, the owner of a firecracker shop.
Heishi County is located at the foot of the BlackStone Mountain, these three people are not less poisoned by Liu Tietou on weekdays, they heard that Liao Ping wants to lead the army to suppress bandits, they totaled, they went to the county to register.
Three stinky cobblers topped Zhuge Liang, and some people joined the army, which is always a good thing. Liao Ping was also generous, sealing the cattle sledgehammer as a vanguard officer, Zhao Laoliu as an ordnance officer, and Hou Cheng in charge of preparing grain and grass, and drying the grain and grass officer.
After more than ten days of preparation, Heishi County recruited more than 5,000 young adults to form a new army to suppress bandits. The bull sledgehammer personally led two thousand people and went straight to the Heavenly King Village on the Black Stone Mountain to kill them.
When Liu Tietou heard that the officers and soldiers had come to wipe out the village, he hurriedly climbed up the wall of the village, looked down, and couldn't help but laugh: "The rabble-rousers also want to be the enemy of my iron-headed king, and they really don't measure up to their strength!" ”
Liu Tietou turned to Qiu Qingpi, the deputy village master, and said, "Old Brother Qiu, it's up to you now!" ”
Qiu Qingpi led a thousand mountain bandits out of the village gate on horseback, and the cow sledgehammer with the iron sledgehammer "dinged" and fought with Qiu Qingpi. It is reasonable to say that the bull sledgehammer, a blacksmith, should not be the opponent of Qiu Qingpi, but the ox sledgehammer has great strength, and the big iron hammer wheel moves and roars, and Qiu Qingpi is unable to get close.
However, the mountain bandits under Qiu Qingpi were a horse team, and the non-commissioned officers of Heishi County were all infantry, and the two sides fought hard, and the new army of bandits in Heishi County was not the opponent of this group of horse bandits at all.
Seeing that the position of the new army of suppressing bandits was unstable, it was a critical moment that Zhao Laoliu led a group of people and horses to support him. Zhao Laoliu was a shield smith, and he had already made more than a thousand strong wooden shields these days, forming a shield array, but the new army of the bandits hid behind the wooden shield and fired arrows.
In the face of the rain of arrows, the mountain bandits immediately changed from offensive to defensive. Qiu Qingpi was so angry that he shouted, and he commanded the horse bandits to charge against the shield array, but after four or five rushes, they were all shot back by the large arrows issued by the new army of the bandits.
A fierce battle ended with Qiu Qingpi collecting troops. Niu Sledgehammer and Zhao Laoliu lost more than four hundred of their men.
After Liao Ping listened to the two people's battle reports, his brows couldn't help but lock together, the combat effectiveness of the new army under him was weak, if he didn't want to come up with a desperate method, let alone win, I'm afraid that in the end they would all have to be wiped out by the mountain bandits.
Liao Ping gathered Zhao Laoliu, Niu Sledgehammer, and Hou Cheng together to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, studied it for half a day, and did not come up with any best way.
The bull sledgehammer slapped the table one last time and said, "Lord Liao, I have a nail count, I don't know how!" ”
The bull sledgehammer was a blacksmith, and he did hard work every day, and he did not fight less than the sharp iron nails. Doesn't Zhao Laoliu make wooden shields, and his nails will be nailed to Zhao Laoliu's shields.
Zhao Laoliu listened for half a day, but he didn't understand, he blinked his eyes a few times, and asked, "Bull Sledgehammer, you still have to make your words clear!" ”
The idea of the bull sledgehammer was not simple, he had to make a batch of large iron nails one foot long, then nail them to the surface of the wooden shield, and then the team of exterminators would fight against the mountain thieves, first pretending to be defeated, and then leading the mountain bandits to chase after them on horseback. When it was just caught up, as long as the shield was thrown to the ground, the mountain bandit's war horse would definitely step on the nail of the shield surface, the horse would fall over, and the team that destroyed the bandits would definitely win a big victory.
Zhao Laoliu and Hou Cheng said good, and Liao Ping said, "Niu Sledgehammer, you just let go and get ready to go, this county ordered this to open the merit book, waiting to give you credit!" ”
Ten days later, three thousand faces were made of nailed shields. The bull sledgehammer came to the bottom of the Black Stone Mountain, ordered the people to scold the battle, and Qiu Qingpi led the horse bandits to kill the mountain again. The team of exterminators fought and walked, and finally threw the nailed shield into the road, and the mountain bandits who were in hot pursuit could not hold back, and thirty or fifty war horses stepped on the nailed shield, and were the first to be stabbed, looking at the densely packed nailed shields on the ground, the Qiu Qingpi monster shouted: "Retreat! ”
As soon as the bull sledgehammer saw that Qiu Qingpi was going to flee, he led the team of exterminators to pick up the shield while killing them back, and this battle annihilated 300 horse bandits, although it was not a big victory, it was also a round.
Liao Ping celebrated the work of Niu Sledgehammer in the Chinese military tent that night, and Niu Sledgehammer only drank half a bowl of wine, and then he bowed his hand to Liao Ping with shame on his face: "Lord Liao, today's battle is not a victory, I must come up with a way to completely defeat Qiu Qingpi!" ”
After the cattle sledgehammer returned to the camp, they did not come up with a way to break the enemy at all, and actually led the people to the muddy water river to catch turtles. Now it is winter, the muddy water of the river is cold and bone-chilling, the old turtle at the bottom of the river wants to hibernate, is in the stage of desperately hunting and saving winter nutrition, so it is very good to catch, the cattle sledgehammer only took a few days, and caught more than eight hundred turtles.
Zhao Laoliu and Hou Cheng didn't know what niu sledgehammer wanted to do to catch the turtle, and in the face of Liao Ping's inquiry, niu sledgehammer "Hehe" smiled: "Lord, you will order people to prepare more bows and arrows!" ”
After another three days, the cow sledgehammer led three thousand people to the Heavenly King's Village again to scold the battle, Qiu Qingpi looked at the scheming cow sledgehammer and gritted his teeth in hatred, Qiu Qingpi asked Liu Tietou to fight, Liu Tietou did not feel at ease and said: "Be careful, this cow sledgehammer is not simple!" ”
Qiu Qingpi led the horse bandits down the mountain for the third time, the cattle sledgehammer led the troops all the way down the mountain, the ox sledgehammer retreated, while ordering his men to discard the shields with nails on both sides of the mountain road, Qiu Qingpi looked at the new army of the bandits, he laughed and said: "Throwing the shield to both sides of the road is simply nonsense!" ”
Qiu Qingpi chased down the mountain, and finally was blocked by the densely packed long nail shields on the ground, and when he just wanted to turn the horse's head back to the mountain, Qiu Qingpi was surprised to find that the shields that were discarded on both sides of the road had "climbed" onto the mountain road.
The bull sledgehammer was thick and thin, and he actually asked his men to tie the old turtle to the bottom of the shield, and after the shield was thrown to the two sides of the road, the old turtle under the shield began to crawl wildly, facing the long nail shield that could be moved all over the road, the Green Skin Ghost shouted: "Quick, quickly remove these damn shields!" ”
Liao Ping, who was ambushed in the shadows, led the archers to rush out, Qiu Qingpi faced the rain of arrows, and fled without a life, but when he was not careful, the horse leg of the war horse under the crotch accidentally stepped on the long nail of the shield, and the war horse's hooves were injured, and with a tragic hiss, he fell to the ground, and Qiu Qingpi fell straight down from the horse. In the end, he was shot by a flying bow and arrow. After Qiu Qingpi's death, Liu Tietou only learned of the strength of this Ming army, and he closed the gate of the village, and let Liao Ping's men shout and scold, that is, refused to fight.
In the blink of an eye, in the middle of winter, the cold wind in front of the Heavenly King's Village whistled, the snow flew everywhere, and the thin military tent could not withstand the severe cold of winter, Liao Ping hesitated again and again, and had to pass on the order to pull out the camp.
The news of Liao Ping's departure reached TianwangZhai, and Liu Tietou gritted his teeth and cried, "Brothers, the opportunity to avenge the lord of the village has come, kill!" ......”
Liu Tie led all the mountain bandits to the bottom of the mountain, and Liao Ping led the team across the Muddy Water River. The muddy river already had a thick layer of ice on the surface, and there was snow three feet deep on it. Liao Ping commanded the men to dig up snow to open the way, and on a shiny ice road, the yellow sand had been withdrawn.
Hearing the shouts of the mountain bandits, the bull sledgehammer led his men and raised their iron nail shields to meet the mountain bandits, and there was a fight on both sides, until Liao Ping's men and horses safely retreated from the ice across the muddy water river, and the cow sledgehammer ordered the retreat, and the two thousand shields with iron nails were immediately thrown into the river.
Liu Tietou had long heard that the shield of the bull sledgehammer was not simple, and he was afraid that there was a mystery under the shield, so he shouted: "Use the spear, lift the shield, and beware of deception below!" ”
Armed with a spear, the mountain bandit probe gun began to pick up the shield on the ice road, and this time there was really no ambush under the shield. Liu Tie's heart hanging in his throat was put into his stomach, and he stopped on the bank of the Ma River and shouted loudly: "Immediately clear the shield, and be sure to catch Liao Ping!" ”
The shields were all picked up by the mountain bandits with long guns on the snow beside the ice road, the ice road was cleared for more than half a year, Liu Tietou suddenly smelled a smell of gun smoke at the end of his nose, he twisted his head, looked around, and suddenly exclaimed: "No, there is an ambush, quickly withdraw!" ”
Hou Cheng, the owner of the firecracker shop, has not been idle for several months, he led his men to make dozens of barrels of powerful black powder, and by taking the opportunity of retreat, these powder barrels were all buried in the snow piles on both sides of the ice road, watching the mountain bandits rush over from a distance, hou Cheng ordered people to light the medicine twists on the powder kegs.
The bull sledgehammer blocked the road with a nail shield this time to divert Liu Tietou's sight, slowing down the mountain bandits' pursuit at the same time, but also to buy time for the burning of the medicinal twister.
Unexpectedly, the green smoke emitted by the burning of the medicine twister still exposed the target, Liu Tietou had just pulled his horse, and he heard the explosion of "booming", the frozen river surface was exploded, and more than 300 mountain bandits who opened the road fell into the river first... Snow shadows are everywhere, ice chips are everywhere, and no figures can be seen within ten meters of the banks of the muddy water river.
The war horse under Liu Tietou's crotch spread its four hooves, along the riverbank, and ran wildly, and before it could run out of the five inches, a rolling wooden shield fell from the sky, and more than 30 long nails on it were smashing into Liu Tietou's head.
Although Liu Tietou's head had been cultivated, it was not as sharp as the long nails on it, which penetrated his helmet and stabbed deeply into his head. Liu Tietou cried out in horror and died on the banks of the Muddy Water River.
As soon as Liu Tietou died, Liao Pinglian called out, "Heaven help me!"! He hurriedly sent an order back to the division, and the bandits of TianwangZhai faced the attack of the new army of suppressing bandits, and they no longer had the heart to resist, and immediately fell down and scattered.
It is simply a miracle that four laymen who fought in the war succeeded in suppressing bandits. Liao Ping originally wanted to protect Niu Sledgehammer and others as officials, but he did not expect these three people to shake their hands together and say, "We are not the material of being an official!" ”
Whether they are the material for officials or not, no one knows, the only thing that people know is that the shop of the three of them is still booming!
