Chapter 149: The First Warrior of Manchuria, Lord Aobai
Hearing Xue Dongting's words, the corners of Qin Chuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ice and snow, let the army siege the city not look for death?
The snow on the ground was so thick that no number of horses could charge, and trekking through the thick snow would only become a target for tiger squat cannons and javelins.
If the other party really attacked, Qin Chuan was confident that he would kill the other party with the 800 Guan Emperor Army.
As soon as Xue Dongting's words fell, the Ming army on the opposite side was also in an uproar, and there was an uneasy commotion.
A general, who was also wearing armor, rode his horse close to Xue Dongting and said in a low voice: "Lord Xue, the snow on the ground is too thick, this battle is not easy to fight, Mrs. Zun and Gongzi have been rescued, let's retreat." ”
Xue Dongting frowned: "General Shi Shen, we are good, I will give you silver, and help me attack Jingyou and Lou Fu, why are you ...... now?"
"Lord Xue, at this time, it didn't snow when we talked about it, but now it's icy and snowy, and if you let my people step on the snow, it's completely to die."
"Stone ginseng will ......"
"Lord Xue doesn't need more, Shi will return half of the silver taels to Lord Xue, but Shi's people will not go into battle, at most they will help Lord Xue in the back."
Hearing this, Xue Dongting's brows furrowed deeply.
This stone staff general is the Baode Prefecture town guard general he invited with money, leading 1,300 battalions.
As for himself, there were only 1,200 guards in number, and the number was almost the same, but the combat strength was far inferior to the battalion soldiers.
Without the help of General Shi Shen, it would be difficult for him to defeat Jingyou with this little guard.
Luckily, he still has a backhand.
Xue Dongting glanced at the back, and one of his subordinates raised the flag and waved it twice, and on a mountain beam in the west, there was also a flag waved twice.
Seeing this, General Shi Shen didn't say anything more, only hugged his fists at Xue Dongting and apologized, and then slowly followed behind.
Half an hour later, a chaotic army appeared, about 1,500 people, led by a full seven or eight people, and when they got closer, they came to Xue Dongting one after another, patting their horses and farting, and flattering themselves
Qin Chuan, who was quietly visiting the town, was happy again.
The group of people who just came here are those big families in Lan County.
The Hu family in Dongcun, the Zhang family in Lanxian County, the Ma family in Qianzhuang Village, the Chen family in Tuyu Village, and the Wu family in Jingle Village, etc., there are as many as seven or eight.
My heart is not dead when these hanging hairs are busy.
"It's all good for the official, the first-class reward for beheading the enemy is five taels of silver, the first-class reward for beheading the old bandit of Jiujishan is fifty taels, the reward for beheading the dog thief surnamed Qin is one thousand taels of silver, and the one is two thousand taels for capturing alive!" Xue Dongting suddenly shouted.
When the words fell, the thousands of people instantly boiled, and many people were so excited that they turned their heads to each other.
Xue Dongting sneered triumphantly.
These rewards are the combination of the big families in Jingle Lan County, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards, this time look at how the surnamed Qin died!
Gu Ding, Zhang Shijing, Wu Qizheng and others were also proud, and this time they must clean up the surnamed Qin and get rid of a big scourge.
"Whole army, array, line up dead soldiers!"
As soon as Xue Dongting gave the order, the more than 2,000 allied troops moved.
……
Looking at the squirming crowd, Qin Chuan shook his head and sighed.
Those hanging hairs are really willing.
"Divide the gunpowder and lead into quantities, put solid bullets first, and the enemy will fire the cannon when he enters 120 steps, and then scatter the shells after 30 steps."
"Let the brothers line up ten paces behind the wall, holding wooden shields, taking care to resist bows and arrows, and when the enemy has advanced thirty paces, they will bid their spears through the wall, and strike three times without interval."
"Yes."
The Guan Emperor's army also moved, lining up behind the wall, holding javelins in hand, ready at all times.
The three gunners were craftsmen of the iron cannon factory, and they had learned to fire guns from Chen Zhan, but they were only able to learn it, and they were still some distance from being proficient.
The gauge and ruler have not yet been made, so the accuracy of this tiger squat cannon ...... It's all about feeling.
After Xue Dongting's coalition forces were in a mess for a while, they soon walked towards the entrance of Jingyou Town with difficulty with a big thick wooden shield and stepping on the snow.
When he finally entered the one hundred and twenty steps, the tiger squat cannon at the gate of the town suddenly erupted a tongue of fire, followed by a loud bang.
A shot put ball two inches and five minutes thick whistled and pierced.
The first few rows of the coalition army were almost frightened, and some experienced Ming troops fell to the ground with lightning speed and buried their heads in the snow.
Some of the families who had seen the cannon were so frightened that their hands and feet became weak and they collapsed to the ground.
Those who have never seen the world are at a loss for what to do when they look at the ugly black thing that spews out tongues of fire.
A shadow swept over their heads like lightning, falling far behind, and smashed right on Xue Dongting's side, smashing a personal guard and a horse to pieces, white and red staining the snow like a huge peony.
The lead could not bounce up in the thick snow, and it did not move after it was inserted.
Xue Dongting froze, opened his mouth wide, and didn't say a word, and cold sweat the size of a bean slowly flowed down his cheeks on his forehead.
The coalition forces suddenly "whirred" and fell down en masse.
It's horrible.
The sight of the guards being smashed to pieces was too miserable.
The deterrent effect is greater than anything else.
If you get hit by a shot, it's ......
……
"Ahem...... The chief steward, just now the muzzle of the gun was not willing to raise the zero, and the shot was far away......"
"It's okay, lower the muzzle of the gun and get another shot."
"Yes."
The three gunners began to dig out the cannon barrel with a mop, took a bellows invented by Chen Zhan, blew the air at the cannon barrel, and after a while, they loaded it with black powder and lead, compacted it, and lit the fuse.
After seeing that the ugly thing at the entrance of the town did not breathe fire, the coalition troops got up one after another, looking at each other and at a loss.
At this moment, there was a "boom", and the ugly thing spewed out a tongue of fire again.
Before the coalition forces could react, a large wooden shield in the front row was suddenly torn to pieces, and the flying sawdust thrust several coalition troops next to them like hedgehogs, and a black lead ball drilled diagonally in, smashing the two unlucky ones to pieces.
"Wow......"
Amid a few heart-rending screams, the coalition forces scattered and fled backwards without their lives.
"Don't run away! Those who retreat will be killed! ”
Gu Ding wielded a knife wow wow sword
But his voice was too weak among the thousands, and more than 2,000 allied troops trampled many of their own people to death and wounded them along the way, and fled in a swarm to two or three hundred paces away.
Gu Ding's lungs are about to explode.
Xue Dongting, who had just come back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said fiercely to the guards next to him: "Pull everyone back, it's just a tiger squatting cannon, and it will be abolished before it approaches." ”
"Yes."
Several guards led the Xue family's three hundred private soldiers to drive people away.
On the other side, Qin Chuan waved his hand: "If the muzzle of the cannon is raised, you can hit as far as you can." ”
"Yes."
The three hundred private soldiers finally drove some of the people back, and while they were making a commotion, the tiger cannon let out another roar, and a lead let out a sharp hiss, which landed on a clearing where the snow had been trampled, and then bounced.
"Ah......h
Several private soldiers standing in front of the whole team were pierced by the bouncing lead, some lost their legs, and some had a large hole in their stomachs.
The coalition forces, which had finally gathered together, scattered again in a hurry, and fled into the distance crying and howling.
Xue Dongting's face was pale, and his teeth were clenched.
After a long time, like a deflated ball, he sighed.
"Retreat."
……
"Not bad, not bad."
Qin Chuan squatted in front of the smoky tiger squatting cannon, and praised it while carefully inspecting the chamber of the cannon.
A tiger squat cannon with a range of only more than 100 steps can beat those crooked melons and jujubes to the point of crying dad and mother, and when he is equipped with hundreds of twelve-pounder cannons with a range of three miles, won't he want to fly?
……
Liaodong, Shengjing.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the Great Political Hall, his face expressionless, and his eyes looked indifferently at the two golden generals kneeling on the ground.
These are two Niu Lu Ezhen, who have just come back from Naturalization City to ask for their guilt.
The white banner Mele Ezhen Ahsan and the yellow flag Laezhen Turushh were routed by a sudden Ming army at the snake belly ditch and Qingshui River south of Guihua City, respectively, and these two men only fled for their lives, while Ahsan and Turushh were almost completely wiped out.
These two people, still have the courage to come back and plead guilty?
Huang Taiji looked at it for a long time, the corners of his mouth suddenly moved, and he said the word "chop", and then withdrew his gaze and looked at a letter written by the Fan family of Zhangjiakou Fort in his hand.
Lou annoys Qin Chuan?
Jiuji Mountain has a knife?
"If this person is not removed, he will become a trouble."
Huang Taiji suddenly folded the letter in his hand and slapped it on the bookcase in front of him.
"The Great Khan."
At the end of the military generals on the right, a young general suddenly came out of the crowd and knelt on the ground.
"Slave Aobai, I am willing to lead fifty bayala and one hundred and fifty vests, go deep into the territory of Mingting Shanxi, capture Qin Chuan alive, and dedicate it to the Great Khan!"
Hearing this, Huang Taiji's indifferent face finally showed a smile.
