Chapter 518: Divine Soldiers from the Sky
"There are assassins!"
Yang Huan's exclamation suddenly sounded,
And in his exclamation, Yang Dudu fell on his back with the impact of the bullet......
Then I got up again in an instant.
"Catch the assassins, their guns can only be fired once!"
He covered his face and yelled.
At this time, there was chaos along the canal, and the guards hurriedly boarded the boats and rushed to the opposite bank as fast as they could, and in the rice fields on the opposite bank, six figures suddenly stood up and ran wildly eastward, and they were obviously white. Almost at the same time, the fire flickered on the Huishan Fort, and then the cannonballs whistled to a boat crossing the river in the middle, and the whole boat, along with the soldiers on it, was reduced to pieces in the impact of eighteen pounds of shells.
Then the cannon of the Xishan Fort opened fire, and the cannonball, with a ferocious roar, slammed into the wall of the tax customs at once, and the whole wall shook violently in the impact......
"Mah, I'm careless!"
Yang Xin, who was still covering his face, looked at the six fleeing assassins on the opposite side and said.
I can't catch them.
Because they were more than a hundred and thirty meters away, and there was a canal more than a hundred meters wide in between, they had actually boarded a hidden boat by this time, and the who had hurriedly landed could only open fire in vain.
Cannonballs fell again in the sky, splashing mud along the canal.
"Uncle, what kind of gun is this?"
Yang Huan said suspiciously.
His uncle didn't have much of a big deal, but in fact, he was just a bullet that opened a big hole in his face, and if he hadn't turned his head, he might have passed by, and when he turned his head, he was blocked on the trajectory, and he could play the smiling man if he was a little more accurate.
"Rifled guns, carved spirals in the barrel to make the bullet rotate after being discharged, fly farther, hit more accurately, but the bullet is not easy to load, you have to use a hammer to knock it down, these guys are very good at playing, even the rifled gun is here, so that Lao Tzu almost overturned in the gutter!"
Yang Xin said.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xu Xiake, who was moving away.
Then he took his hand away and showed them half of his disfigured face, saying that this half of his face was ready to act in a horror movie at the moment, and the bullet that was badly deformed during the loading of his face tore a bloody gap, and even the bones were wiped for a while.
And Xu Xiake smiled happily.
Obviously, this result is already satisfactory to him.
The hoe and rape soldiers brought by He Gang were a group of rifled guns and gunners.
This thing has been around for a long time, initially carved straight rifling into it, but has evolved to a slight spiral, but is hardly used by armies due to its reloading difficulties.
At present, the Danes have a small amount of equipment in Europe, and the rest is folk hunting, after all, for hunting, the trivial matter of loading difficulties can be completely ignored, and shooting the prey more accurately is the most important thing. It was only from the Dutch that He Gang learned about the existence of this weapon, so he asked them to help buy and hire a gunner, after all, this thing obviously restrained Yang Xin, and no matter how good the latter's nose was, it was impossible to find a musket waiting to fire more than a hundred meters away.
This is important.
It's not that Yang Xin can't be killed, the main thing is that he has a protective layer, and the turtledove bullets can block it, unless he doesn't wear a mask, a shot hits his unprotected face, but the turtledove obviously can't do it at all.
Precision tragedy.
And the cannon ......
The artillery couldn't ambush him at all.
And another effective means is to blow up.
But his nose is too sensitive, and he can smell gunpowder from more than a dozen feet.
And the rifled gun perfectly avoids these, the accuracy is enough to hit him from a hundred meters away, a few more aims will definitely be able to shoot the head, the small size is easy to lurk, and the distance can avoid being detected by him......
I have to say that they are also hollow out.
This time it did fail.
But it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that they have found a weapon that can really deal with Yang Xin, this is even better than artillery, this time they can't kill Yang Xin, then keep sniping, sooner or later there will always be a time to kill him.
Not to mention that you can make it yourself.
In fact, Songjiang's gunsmiths have been imitating and studying the method of making rifling, and more rifled guns will be made in the future, and then all the gentry will have weapons to deal with Yang Xin, it can be said that Yang Xin's half-bloody face at this moment represents that the era when the gentry were helpless in the face of him is gone.
"Hejian Hou, do you still want to continue?"
Xu Xiake shouted from afar.
"That's nature!"
Yang Xin said.
The wound on his face has begun to heal, but it will take some time for such a large wound to really heal completely, and it is estimated that he will sleep with this disfigured face tonight.
"Withdraw!"
He went on to say.
Then he turned on his horse and galloped westward with his men escorting.
At this time, the large-scale artillery battle between the two sides had started again, and the fierce roar of heavy artillery shells in the sky swept by from time to time, and Cao Huachun also led his men to follow the Dangkou army to board the ship without tears and return to Huishan Fort of the loyal and brave army.
Yang Xin, on the other hand, went directly back to the temporary military headquarters in Qianqiao, which was separated from the Xishan Fort by the entire Huishan Mountain, and had long been beyond the range of its firepower, and from here to the south was the Hengshan Fort, but it had to pass through the three-thousand-meter-long passage sandwiched between Shunke Mountain and Huishan. Hengshan is blocked at the exit of this passage, and this hill is bordered by a mountain pass to the north and an impassable swamp on the shores of Lake Taihu to the south, and this is the real main battlefield next.
Including an attack on the top peak.
As for the real canal line, there is no need to attack, all that is needed is defense, and Huishan Fort is used to block the regimental training flank and attack Qianqiao.
And the offense ......
"Over to you!"
Yang Xin said to Sun Yingyuan very simply.
"Dudu, the last general thinks that he should divide his troops again, cross Taihu Lake from Xueyan and attack Suzhou directly, and Jiangyin should also go south."
Sun Yingyuan said.
"No, just fight here, all the other places will defend, send someone to tell Li Zhong that all the units of the Loyal and Brave Army are defending, don't go out to attack, let's fight with the regimental trainers here." It is estimated that they do not dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble, and the status quo will be maintained in other directions, after all, we will still go south as a counterinsurgency, and the loyal and brave troops cannot leave the country without receiving the holy decree. ”
Yang Xin said.
He must be separated from the Loyal Warrior Military Region.
He led the army south to quell the rebellion, and the regimental training blocked him from going south, so he fought, but the loyal army could not leave the country without a holy decree, and if it fought in other directions, it would be a rebellion of the loyal army. Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that the autumn harvest is approaching now, and if the fighting expands into a big scuffle around the entire Taihu Lake, then this year's harvest will definitely be seriously affected. These grains are very important, especially after the loss of half of Zhejiang, Tianqi there is a loss of more than one million years of income this year, originally the entire Zhejiang pays more than two million stones a year, and the front-line army consumes a lot, in short, this year Tianqi there will be less income.
Coupled with the locust plague in Shandong, you must know that Jinan Prefecture pays more taxes than Changzhou Prefecture in a year.
In short, this year's annual membership has dropped significantly.
But the impact has not yet been achieved for the time being, because there is a lot of money in the nine thousand years old, and Shoucheng Qian Zhuang will also take out loans, in short, the reduction of these years of income will not affect the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, try to control it as much as possible.
And the last battle of Huxi Fort has made Tuan Lian understand that they can't defeat the loyal army, if the loyal army doesn't attack outside, then they will also not take the initiative to attack, and the surrounding ones will continue to maintain the status quo. And he is here to fight around Huishan, and those gentry who open Huishan Fort will be honest, don't look at Yang Tingshu and these people are ruthless, but their words are useless, those guys who held a meeting in Suzhou before are the ones who really have the final say, these young people do have the determination and courage to persevere to the end, but those old guys who really have the final say don't.
They are using this battle as a test, if this battle is lost, they will definitely give in, in the end, what kind of goods they are, Yang Dudu still knows very well.
Yang Tingshu is indeed hard-boned.
This has been tested by history, but history has also tested that the vast majority of them are soft bones.
"Grandpa Liu!"
Shouts rang out outside.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Shimin hurriedly walked in.
"What is this?"
He was immediately startled when he saw Yang Xin's face.
"It's okay, I was shot by an assassin, and I'll be almost able to recover tomorrow."
Yang Xin said indifferently.
"Hou Ye, the holy decree of Long Live Lord was sent urgently for five hundred miles, asking Hou Ye to continue to lead the army to Jiangxi and not to stay elsewhere, in addition, Sun Ge Lao of the Ministry of War also issued a letter again, demanding that Hou Ye's army must not enter Beijing, and must go to Jiangxi."
Liu Shimin said.
As he spoke, he handed the holy decree to Yang Xin.
There is no need for a proclamation procedure or anything, who is Yang Dudu.
Yang Dudu unfolded the holy decree.
"Governor?"
Sun Yingyuan looked at him with an inquiring gaze, and several other generals did the same, saying that this is a holy decree! However, when this holy decree was issued, it should not have been known about the conflict between the loyal army and the Changjie army, after all, it has not been ten days since it happened, and even if it is five hundred miles from here to the capital, it will take ten days to return and return. As for the communication tower proposed by Yang Xin before, the construction has just begun at this time, and at the current rate, I am afraid that it will take two years to truly realize the transmission of the communication tower in the two capitals, after all, this is also more than 100 communication towers.
"It's okay, the general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, what should we do or what, Brother Liu replied to the nine thousand years old for me, and said that he could rest assured, I will take care of this side."
Yang Xin said.
It's all now, not to mention a holy decree that the apocalypse may not know, even if the apocalypse writes it himself, it's useless, and the anti-decree has to be beaten, but the apocalypse really doesn't know about it. Because at this time, His Majesty the Emperor was completely immersed in the world of the steam engine, and he had just built the first experimental model of the steam engine, although it only ran for a few minutes before it broke down, but he had already clearly told him that this thing was the real future.
At this time, the apocalypse had already forgotten about the mess outside.
This decree must have been issued at the age of 9,000.
But at this time, the nine thousand years old couldn't hold him, and the bullet in Yang Dudu's face couldn't be in vain.
