"Head, my subordinates don't think it's so troublesome. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Lei replied, "There are 18 of them in total, and our fire gun can fight more than 30 zhang." We can just surround them, and kill their sentry and they will definitely be in chaos, because they don't know who we are and how many of them come. As long as we fence it off, we can solve it slowly, and they don't have anything to cover. ”

"Won't it alarm anyone else?" Liang Er asked.

"There's no one else in this place." Zheng Lei said with a smile, "I can't find a single figure within a radius of dozens of miles." ”

"Okay, just follow Counselor Zheng's method." Ge Tao ordered, "Hurry up and rest, let's do it on the third watch." ”

It was the third watch, and Ge Tao called everyone up: "Check your weapons and equipment." Liang Er, you take five people to the downstream direction to block them; Zheng Lei, you also take 5 people to the upstream direction to block them, and you can't let one go. I took the rest of the people and surrounded them from the front. ”

"Yes, head." The two men left with the people.

The moonlight was very good tonight, and Ge Tao led people to quietly touch a place about fifty or sixty meters away from the tartar, and raised the telescope on the ground.

One of the Tartars kept walking back and forth by the river with a firebolt, and the rest of the Tartars lay on the ground, snoring loudly.

Ge Tao looked at it for a while, made sure that there was only one sentry, and took the flintlock pistol from behind: "All ready, as long as there are Tartars who stand up, all of them will be knocked down." ”

Ge Tao looked at it for a while and pulled the trigger.

The flintlock pistol fired, a cloud of smoke came out, and the Tartar by the river stopped, turned his head and raised his gun in the direction of Ge Tao.

", it didn't hit." Ge Tao cursed in his heart, and then ordered, "Fire!" ”

More than twenty flintlock muskets fired, and this time several bloody holes popped out of the Tartar sentry's body, and he fell to the ground without saying a word.

The sleeping Tartars were awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire and grabbed their weapons, but no one stood up, let alone shouted.

Ge Tao's heart was a little surprised, and Tatar's reaction was beyond his expectations. It seems that these Tartars have also received strict military training, and know that they cannot run around in such situations.

The Tartars on the opposite side did not shoot, and the people on both sides were lying on the ground and staring at each other. People on both sides understood that they had only one chance to shoot. After this shot, the opponent may rush directly, but now it is impossible to hit the enemy lying on the ground.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, Ge Tao's heart was a little anxious, he only brought 2 flintlock pistols on his side, and he had finished fighting one just now, and now, like the Tartar, there was only one gun with guns in his hand left.

Ning Yan quietly crawled over from behind and grabbed the gun that Ge Tao had finished shooting in his hand: "Head, I'll go to the back and load the ammunition." ”

"Be careful." Ge Tao instructed, "Withdraw beyond range and reload." ”

Ning Yan and two people climbed out of the range of the musket with flintlock pistols on their backs.

After a while, Ning Yan climbed back again: "Head, it's ready." ”

"Okay." Ge Tao ordered, "In groups of three, take turns firing, keep shooting continuously, and make sure that the Tartars think that our guns are finished." Each one left a gun and listened to my orders. ”

The flintlock pistol was fired against the ground, and the continuous gunfire stopped for a short time, but the tartar on the opposite side still did not move.

"Oh yes." Ge Tao was a little depressed, "Can Tartar be so calm?" ”

"Head." Ning Yan suggested, "Do you want Liang Tou and Zheng Lei to fight as well?" ”

"Nope." Ge Tao understood that there were only 6 people on each side, and if the Tartars were allowed to hear the number of people from the gunshots, they might concentrate on attacking both sides, so that Liang Er and Zheng Lei would not be able to stop it.

"Ning Yan." Ge Tao suddenly had an idea, "You take someone to reload again, be fast." ”

"Yes, head." Ning Yan didn't ask again, and climbed to the back with two more people carrying flintlock pistols.

"Everyone's attention." Ge Tao ordered in a low voice, "We will still work in groups of three for a while, listen to my orders, take turns shooting, and let's knock out the Tartar horses first." ”

Ge Tao made up his mind, even if you keep lying still and knock off your horse, in this desert Gobi, you can't get out even if you have great ability.

Ning Yan put the flintlock pistol loaded with the bullet back, and Ge Tao ordered: "Aim at the Tartar's horse and take turns shooting." ”

The war horses of the Tartars were all gathered together, and they were about 70 meters away from Ge Tao. The flintlock pistol burst into flames again, and the two horses fell to the ground with a burst of mournful screams.

The Tartar finally couldn't bear it anymore, and without a horse is like losing a leg. Seventeen Tartars stood up together, and ran to their horses as they returned fire.

Ge Tao finally smiled: "Fire, fire!" ”

The second shot fired, knocking several Tartars to the ground. The rest of the Tartars took their horses one after another, turned over on their horses, and rushed towards Liang Er's downstream. At the same time, more than a dozen heavy arrows shot in the direction of Ge Tao.

"Fire!" Liang Er's gun was the first to go off.

"Change guns, fire!" Two more Tartars were knocked off their horses.

The anxious Tartar did not notice how many guns there were downstream, and turned their horses and ran upstream.

"Fire!" The gun on Zheng Lei's side also rang out.

"Reload, keep shooting, don't stop." Ge Tao commanded loudly.

Only 5 Tartars remained on horseback, with the Yayk River behind them, and enemies on three sides. The five Tartars did not know which direction to break through, and were at a loss for what to do with their bows and arrows on their horses.

"Stop shooting." Ge Tao called the Manchu interpreter over, "Shout at them and make them surrender." ”

The Manchu interpreter lay on the ground and shouted: "Put down your weapons, dismount and surrender, and spare your lives." ”

"For the sake of the Great Khan, charge." The leading Tartar raised his bow and arrows and shouted, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and rushed towards Ge Tao with the other four people.

"Fire!"

No one was on horseback, and the last 5 Tartars were hit.

Ge Tao led people to surround him: "Go and see if there are any alive." ”

After a while, Liang Erlai reported: "Head, there are three more who have not lost their breath, do you want to bring them over and ask." ”

"Bring it here."

The three injured Tartars were dragged over, and Ge Tao glanced at the bloody wounds on the three people, and asked, "Who are you from, and what are you doing here?" ”

The three Tartars lay on the ground and none of them spoke, Ge Tao took out a dagger and walked over with a smile: "Don't speak, right, if you don't speak, you'll die." ”

After Ge Tao finished speaking, he stabbed one of the Tartars in front of him in the thigh. The tartar let out a wail of pain.

"Head, you can't do that." Zheng Lei came over and grabbed Ge Tao, "They are prisoners of war now." ”

Ge Tao ignored Zheng Lei: "Liang Er, please take Staff Officer Zheng aside." ”

"Ge Tao." Zheng Lei shook off Liang Er's hand, "I'm talking to you now as a representative of the General Staff, you can't abuse prisoners of war like this." ”

Ge Tao raised his head and looked at Zheng Lei: "Staff Officer Zheng, I also tell you that I was under the dual instructions of Chairman Zhang of the Military Commission and our principal, and your Chief of General Staff Xu also knows." I'm the commander of this operation, and if you have any questions, you can report them to the commander when you get back, but please don't bother me now. ”

Zheng Lei opened his mouth, didn't speak again, turned around and walked to the side.

Ge Tao continued to turn his head and asked, "Don't you say it now?" ”

The three Tartars still did not speak.

"Liang Er." Ge Tao called Liang Er over, "Go and check what they have brought, the key is to find out if there are any letters or something." ”

After a while, Liang Er took a sealed bamboo tube: "Head, I found this." ”

Ge Tao took the bamboo tube and looked at it over and over for a while, and smiled at the tartar, "Let's guess what is in this, this is a secret letter written by your Zhenguo Gong to the Mongols, maybe it is the Hongyi people." You want to unite the Mongols and the Hongyi people to attack the Ming Dynasty, right? ”

Finally, a Tartar spoke: "Give us a break, we won't say anything." ”

"I don't need you to say it now." Ge Tao stood up, "Liang Er, deal with them." ”

"Yes, head." Liang Er called Ning Yan and the others over, "Drag them aside and give them a break." ”

Ge Tao watched these Tartars being dragged down, and then flipped the bamboo tube in his hand: "Let's move on,"

Putting aside Ge Tao, the time soon came to late September, and Yulinwan still hadn't figured out how to explain to Zheng Zhilong the reason for postponing the sending of troops.

Xu Lang had just entered the office in the morning, and Wang Hua came to him: "Xu Lang, there is an update." ”

"You're up to date every day." Xu Lang smiled, "Say, what's the latest situation?" ”

"We have just received news from the Taiwanese side." Wang Hua also planted the eyeliner of the Second General Affairs Department in Taiwan, "There was a riot in Taiwan's Madou Society." ”

"Madoushe, it's impossible, right?" Xu Lang asked suspiciously, "I remember that the uprising between Taiwan's Madou Society and Guo Huaiyi should have been in 1652, how could there be a riot now?" ”

"I don't know about this, maybe history has changed?" Wang Hua replied, "But according to the information sent back, this is indeed the case. ”

"Lao Wang." Xu Lang beckoned Wang Hua to sit down, "You mean we can use this matter as a reason to delay Dongying's action?" ”

"I'm afraid it's even more complicated." Wang Hua put the information in front of Xu Lang, "Zheng Zhilong is also very concerned about this matter. I'm here to discuss with you, do you think Zheng Zhilong will use this incident to turn his face with Westerners? ”

"I don't think so, do you?" Xu Lang asked, "We have already discussed going to Japan in several aspects, will Zheng Zhilong change his hexagram?" ”

"It's hard to say." Wang Hua said, "Zheng Zhilong's greatest interest is not in Japan, but in Taiwan. The reason why he agreed to go to Japan was also because of our strong persuasion, and now that something has happened in Taiwan, he is likely to change his plan. ”

"If that's the case, it's going to be a hassle." Xu Lang picked up the information and read it carefully, "Once Zheng Zhilong starts a fight with Westerners in Taiwan, our plans will have to be disrupted." What else will Tao Min's side react, it is difficult to say whether the Westerners will have another naval battle of Liuluo Bay. ”

"I haven't reported this matter to Chairman Zhang yet, so I'll come to you as soon as possible." Wang Hua said, "It's best for your General Staff Department and our Second General Affairs Department to come up with a countermeasure first, and we will report it to the Military Commission together." ”

Xu Lang stood up and walked to the door: "Come on, go and invite Deputy Chief of Staff Leng." ”

In the office, the three of them carefully predicted the possible consequences of this uprising in Taiwan's Madou Society. After discussing it all morning, the three of them felt that this matter was getting bigger and bigger, because no one was sure what the situation would be in the entire Nanyang once Zheng Zhilong really started fighting with the Westerners. And no one knows what Tao Min has done to enter Japan in recent days, so I don't know what kind of impact this incident will have on Tao Min.

Xu Lang rubbed his head: "Lao Wang, Tianbing, is this matter so complicated, don't we all think too much, right?" ”

"It's better to think more than to think less." Leng Tianbing said, "Zheng Zhilong's mind has always been difficult to figure out. ”

"Report." Suddenly, there was a report outside the door.

"Come in."

He Jiong pushed the door and walked in.

The people in the room were stunned, how could He Jiong find here, Wang Hua asked, "Director He, is there anything urgent?" ”

"Report to the principal." He Jiong didn't hide it from Xu Lang and Leng Tianbing, and took out a sealed bamboo tube with three red lines entangled: "Chief Jiang's urgent letter, I just received it, and I am very urgent. ”
