Chapter 470: Combat Meeting
In addition to this, the crowd saw another kind of chariot, which was similar in form to the previous one, but was not equipped with artillery, but was a cylindrical thing.
It looked very strange, and I didn't know what it was, and everyone talked about it.
Xiong Tingbi heard their discussion and knew in his heart that this barrel-shaped thing was actually a hand-cranked revolver.
And in addition to these, there is a kind of car with nine iron drums pulled in the back, all facing the sky, which looks strange.
These buckets are of different sizes and specifications, and no one knows what they are. For this, some officials even began to bet in private.
When Xiong Tingbi saw this, his jaw dropped in surprise. The on-board bazooka is actually a horse-mounted vehicle?!
These bazookas can also be moved up and down, and can fire up to nine rockets at a time when loaded. The size of the iron barrel is different, and that is because the types of rockets are different, some are heavy and some are light, and the launch distance is also different.
These things are very novel, no one in Liaodong has ever seen them, and Xiong Tingbi has never seen them. Xiong Tingbi had only seen it in His Majesty's letters, but he didn't know how these things were going to fight.
The foot soldiers at the back of the convoy were also wearing plate armor and looked very light. They carry firecrackers behind them, the long kind; With bayonets at their waists, it was obvious that these men were musketeers. This team is very strange, and people are stunned to watch.
Xiong Tingbi was a little worried in his heart, these people's equipment naturally looked very good, and they also paid a lot of money. But can all this mess go to war?
This time it's important not to go wrong. What if something goes wrong?
Xiong Tingbi's heart began to ponder what kind of method to use to stabilize them.
These people are royal soldiers, and this is sent by His Majesty, so naturally he can't let them sit on the cold bench. Otherwise, they are not satisfied, and Your Majesty is not satisfied.
But if they are allowed to go to the battlefield to fight, if this is messed up, then what will he do with the old bear?
If the whole battle fails, then it may be the responsibility of his old bear.
So we have to think of a way to make it impossible for the Son of Heaven to find fault with the army, and what to do is not yet possible.
It's just that this method doesn't seem to be easy to think of, and Xiong Tingbi has a headache.
However, Xiong Tingbi was not given much time to think, and the team here had stopped.
This time, the people of Liaodong were taken aback again.
After these days, the pro-army actually stood motionless. The whole army looked very solemn, and there was not even a person who raised a finger, just stood there quietly.
If it weren't for the occasional blink, it would make people feel like these people were like stakes. Even the horses stood still, only occasionally digging and snorting.
There are no superfluous movements in the whole team, which is very weird and makes people's hearts numb.
Xiong Tingbi's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have some understanding in his heart, these people didn't seem to be so unbearable.
You must know that in the army, strict military discipline is very important. Why?
Because it is necessary to ensure that the battle formation is formed. On top of the military formation, once the battle formation is not formed and chaotic, it will be over.
And these people in front of them, not to mention other aspects, this discipline seems to be quite good.
In the midst of the procession, three men came out on horseback.
All three were young, but all of them were wearing armor, and they looked a little heroic.
After the three of them came over, they turned over and dismounted together, and came straight to Xiong Tingbi.
After seeing Xiong Tingbi, the leader clenched his fists and said: "Sun Chuanting, the commander of the pro-army Yamen Left Army, has seen Governor Xiong. ”
After Xiong Tingbi heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Sun is exempt. ”
The commander of the pro-army Yamen Left Army, the official position is four grades, and it is a military position, so he naturally does not have such a high status in front of Xiong Tingbi. However, Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to underestimate it, he was the son of heaven and pro-army, and he was born superior.
It's just that the pro-military declined in the past, and was trampled under the feet of civilian officials. Now that he has turned over, this treatment is naturally different.
What's more, his old bear is also His Majesty's person, and if the other party gives face, he also has to give the other party face. The sedan chair is better than anything else to carry.
"Lord Sun, please." Xiong Tingbi smiled and made a gesture of please, turned around and walked into Shenyang City.
At the same time, Xiong Tingbi's eyes also glanced at the young man on the right side of Sun Chuanting. This young man was very tall, with a large knife at his waist, and he looked very powerful. If nothing else, this should be a very capable young man.
Xiong Tingbi judged at a glance that this young man should be a fierce general. It's just that I don't know what my ability is, Xiong Tingbi really has a little bit of expectation in his heart.
When the group entered the city gate, the things to settle down naturally had the following people to do, and these things were naturally familiar to the people of Shenyang City. Now Shenyang City is a huge military formation, and it is naturally not a problem to place 5,000 men and horses.
After the group entered, Xiong Tingbi said with a smile: "Master Sun, I have prepared a meal for you." It's just that Shenyang is a border city, and there is nothing to entertain. The meals are a bit rudimentary, don't care. ”
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting was not surprised.
The other party doesn't say that he eats for himself, but he doesn't give himself food, and there is nothing to say. boundless
Sun Chuanting and they have their own food, and he doesn't want to eat with Xiong Tingbi. Sun Chuanting came with a mission, this time he must do things well and beautifully, he didn't have the heart to eat.
Besides, Sun Chuanting has already seen from Xiong Tingbi's actions that this Lord Xiong looks down on himself, or the team he brought.
Sun Chuanting can also understand that if you haven't proven yourself, people will look down on you, nothing strange; In the army, weakness is the original sin, and there is nothing to say.
However, Sun Chuanting couldn't admit it, because he was very strong. How to prove it, Sun Chuanting naturally has a way to do this.
Is it to ask His Majesty to complain or to jump up and say something?
It's a child's trick and it doesn't make sense at all. If you can't get a record and can't win the battle, there is a use in talking.
Sun Chuanting said: "Lord Xiong is welcome, we have already eaten when we set up camp before, and we can eat again in the evening." Let's talk about the army first. ”
After listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Xiong Tingbi nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
The other party was not a wine bag and rice bag, but it made Xiong Tingbi breathe a sigh of relief.
If the other party really agrees to eat with him, then he has to change his attitude, coax them well, let them take some credit, and then send them away with peace of mind.
If the other party really wants to fight, then it depends on their ability.
A group of people soon arrived at the governor's yamen.
Because the war was very urgent this time, the governor's yamen had already prepared a conference hall for the battle.
In fact, the War Chamber has always been there, but it wasn't that big.
The enlarged conference hall was filled with maps, many of which were clear, with small red and green flags scattered all over the map.
This map is very detailed, after all, the place occupied by Jiannu was originally the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing unfamiliar with these places in Tieling Qinghe Kaiyuan, so you don't have to worry about getting lost or missing your direction when you naturally march.
Sun Chuanting glanced at the map, then at Xiong Tingbi, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiong really deserves his reputation!" ”
Although many people look down on Xiong Tingbi, there are also many officials in the DPRK and China who have a great criticism of Xiong Tingbi, thinking that Xiong Tingbi is a person who has no talent and only a false name. They felt that if His Majesty didn't trust Xiong Tingbi, this kind of person should go home to raise their children.
As for Xiong Tingbi's contributions in Liaodong, no one can look down on it. In the eyes of many people, it's just defending the city, what's the difficulty?
What's more, the court has given so much money and so many weapons, who else can't hold it?
As for Xiong Tingbi killing Nurhachi, many people think that it was just luck with a cannon.
But Sun Chuanting didn't see it that way, he was very clear about the situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. Since the Battle of Salhu, the situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong can be said to be precarious, and Shenyang and Liaoyang are in danger; This is especially true in Quang Ninh.
It's just that Sun Chuanting didn't have the right to speak before, so what he said doesn't count.
After Xiong Tingbi arrived in Shenyang, he quickly stabilized his position, and at the same time established a new line of defense, so that Jiannu could not take a step beyond Lei Chi. And he was able to kill Nurhachi with a cannon, and Xiong Tingbi's ability is not to be said.
Therefore, Sun Chuanting has a lot of respect for Xiong Tingbi and is very kind in his attitude.
Xiong Tingbi glanced at Sun Chuanting and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the person in front of him was young and vigorous, and with His Majesty's respect for this person, it was easy to be arrogant. If you are an arrogant and domineering person, it is difficult to get along even if you have talent. It's like Huo Qu's illness back then.
Does Huo Qubing have talent?
Yes, and it's famous. But Huo Qubing grew up beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then, and his arrogance was also very great.
Although Xiong Tingbi will admire Huo's ability to get sick, it is also very uncomfortable to get along with this kind of person. However, Sun Chuanting in front of him didn't mean this, which made Xiong Tingbi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lord Xiong, can you tell me what you're going to do next?" Sun Chuanting looked at Xiong Tingbi and asked straight to the point.
In fact, Sun Chuanting's question is inappropriate. He came here to cooperate, and he should have done whatever Xiong Tingbi asked him to do.
But Sun Chuanting knew very well to himself that he was a royal pro-army, and Xiong Tingbi would definitely have scruples. To put it bluntly, you can't lose too much, and you have to make a contribution, and then protect it well, and you can't let it be bad.
In such a situation, the royal pro-army is still fighting a fart fight?
Sun Chuanting would never be able to let Xiong Tingbi do this. Sun Chuanting asked this because he wanted to fight for an opportunity and find a suitable point to fight this battle.
Xiong Tingbi looked at Sun Chuanting and naturally understood what he was thinking. I don't want to follow the arrangement!
This can't help but make Xiong Tingbi a little big.
If you really do what this young man thinks, then I am afraid that it is difficult to explain what happened. But it's not without benefits, if you can let Your Majesty know that they did it on purpose, then if something happens, it seems that his old bear can get out of the relationship.
Xiong Tingbi said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk to you." ”
After saying this, Xiong Tingbi picked up a pole, walked to the side of the map, and stretched out his hand to point to a place.
